LOCKER CLUBS IN
DECIDING BATTLE
Test of New Ordinance Before
Judge PendIeton-Fate of
Four Clubs at Stake.

Four Atlanta locker clubs-the Geor-
gia Athletic, Southern, Bees. and
Knight sof the Mystic Ark-refused
permits by the city council. brought
their test cases, attacking the validity
Of the municipalities new club ordi-
nance. to trial before Superior Judge
PendIeton at O'clock today Attor-
neys for the clubs and City Attorney
Mayson said that new points were in
volyed and the trial would not be con-
Guided before tomorrow
This action of the clubs is the third
phase of the light to put the city's sue
cessiVe locker club ordinances out of
business. The first case. won in the
supreme court by the Union and Me-
chanics club, killed the first ordinance
The court declared the city had no right
to tax locker club under it's charter.
The second case was won by the city
several days ago, when the supreme
court upheld Judge Pendleton in refus-
ing to enjoin the city from proceeding
against the Georgia Athletic club.
Subsequent to these cases, the city
obtained charter amendment granting
the municipality increased power and
giving the city the right to tax locker
clubs.
Attorneys for the four dissenting
clubs said today that they would pin
their case on grounds of discrimination,
maintaining that the city council show
ed rank favoritism in licensing some
clubs and denying permits to others
Along this line they have asked the
court to require all the Atlanta council
men to answer a series of pertinent
questions, showing their relation with
various and sundry local clubs.
The city attorney will fight the case
on the old lines of police regulation.

BIRD WITH HANDS

The hoatzin, q native of British Guiana, is de-
scribed as a bird with hands And the popularity
of its structure which lie ads to this description Is
the possession OF two free claws on the wings OF
the young.
The nest OF the hoatzin Is placed in tree over
hanging the water and the young, unlike most
birds hached in such position are active from
the first And the claws at the ends OF the wings
are used to assist it in climbing the trees, which
It does with great dexterity in its early days.
The growth OF the outermost quill feathers or
the wing which might hamper the free use of the
claws is retarded till the rest Of the wing is de-
veloped efficiently TO render climbing less neces-
sary. Then they grow, and the claws are OBJ
sorbed and disappear The adult bird does not
require them. Should young hoazin fall into
the water II makes for the shore and sezes
branch. up which 1t quickly climbs.
1t has been pointed out that the young of game
birds show evidence Of having formerly possessed
similar structures the wings. II is therefore
inferred that they had similar habit, and that in
former times they built and reared their young in
trees.
In this group-includng the barn door fowl
the quill feathers OF the wing still developed
in the same order in the hoatzin, that is the
outer ones delayed until the others have
reached a certain stage. Traces OF the free claws,
moreover can still be found In the embryo. And
IT is interesting In this connection to remember
that even now the pheasant occasionally builds
and hatches Its young In tree.

COL. ROOSEVELT
VISITS MICHIGAN
MAKES CAR PLATFORM SPEECHES
AT KALAMAZOO, BATTLE
CREEK AND ANN ARsOR.
COLONELtPUTS IN 12 STRENUOUS
HOURS IN STATE.
Greeted Along the Line of His Rush
Across the State by Big
Crowds Anxious to See
and Hear Him.

Col. Roosevelt addressed great
crowd in the Light Guard armory, De-
troit, Saturday night. He spoke for
just an hour and while there were
numerous flashes of enthusiasm, for
the most part he was listened TO with
respectful attention.
Probably the most pointed statement
he made was his admission that while
president he had seized the Panama
canal strip instead OF waiting for con
gressional action. 1t was expected
that he would have something to say
and he did at some length, but instead
OF reiterating his Columbus utterances
he simply advocated referendum OH
state court interpretations OF state con-
stitutions in cases where it is found
that they prevent the carrying out of
laws in the interests of social Justice.
The colonel lauded the progressive
members of congress for passing the
rate bill and scored the commerce
court as q mischievous institution. lie
also took occasion to say good word
for City Clerk Nichols, of Detroit In
this connection he declared that he
had not asked a human being to sup
port him, for the reason that he knew
they would be threatened with politi-
cal extinction, and for that reason
WAS proud Of the support of such
man as Nichols,
Nor did the colonel forget 10 men,
tion the fact that the legislature had
failed to provide a political presiden
tial primary, but he was mixed on his
data, as he insisted on stating that
seven senator's had prevented the peo-
pie from having their primary and
was careful not to mention the con
stitutional prohibition on which that
action was based.
For the rest of his address he para
phrased the ten commandments, urging
the control of big business in one
breath and adding that corporations
must be given square deal or they
wont continue to do their work. He
derided the fact that Senator Lorimer
had been allowed TO retain his seat
by a majority vote of the senate COM
mittee.
The audience packed the armory
and about a thousand peoDle waited
on Larned street, which furnished the
opportunity for a vociferous announce
ment from the stage that the diStin-
guished visitor would address an over
flow meeting from the balcony OF the
Hotel Cadillac.
The crowd arrived early and the
armory was filled an hour before the
time set for the colonel to arrive, but
they were entertained by two bands
and Harold Jarvis, who sang two pop
ular songs. When the colonel did ar
rive he was given hearty but brief
cheer. He was accompanied by Tru-
man II. Newberry. who served in his
cabinet as secretary OF the navy;
Postmaster Homer Warren, City
Clerk Charles Nichols, in charge of
the local headquarters and Commis-
sioner of Public Works Haarer.
