MRS. GRACE
House Measure to Change Law
Relating to Testimony Goes
Back to Committee.

Representative Vinson, of Baldwin,
succeeded in having house bin No. S45
reoommitted TO Judiciary committee No.
2 today Thereby hangs most inter
esting tale
There are members of the house
who believe that the bin bears directly
and designedlv upon the famous Grace

passed, to compel Mrs. Grace to testify
to her disadvantage and in favor of
the prosecution, when that case Is
brought to trial
The bin proposes to make wife a
competent and compellable witness
against her husband. and vice versa,
upon the trial of the husband or the
wife, for any criminal offense upon the
wife by the husband or the husband
upon the wife, when the act charged
amounts to a felony.
The bill was before the house for a
third reading and with favorable
committee report. but there were many
members who thought that report was
made under Misrepresentation and
that it should be recommitted and this,
upon Mr.. Wilson'S motion, was done
The greater part of today's session of
the house was taken up in discussion
Of bill by Mr. Burwell. of Hancock,
up with an adverse report for a second
reading. The report was disagreed to.
Hits at Game Bird Menus.
Among the more important new bills
introduced in the house today was one
by Murphy of Bulloch, to regulate the
serving of game birds in hotels; a bill
by Mr. Moon, of Butts, to include NOR
phine and narcotic drugs in the prohi-
bition laws; a bill by Mr. Adams. of
Hall, increasing the license on the man.
ufacture and wholesaling of near
beer from $1,000 to $4,000 a bill by
Mr.. Watts, of Randolph to authorize
counties to abolish the Office of county
treasurer; bill by Mr. Newsome. of
Glascock, to provide for the proper la
being and dating of medicine and
drugs; a bill by Mr. Hobbs and Mr..

Getting Ready
For Grace Trial

Mrs Daisy Grace will face trial on
the charge Of attempting to kill her
husband. Eugene, at their north side
home several months ago, in the GRIM
inal division of superior court July 20
The charges against her will be the
first to be taken up by Judge l.. 5.
Roam during the session of court that
opens that date.
Deputy sheriffs will be busy serving
appearance papers on number of At
lanta. New Orleans and Philadelphia
persons early next week. commanding
them to appear In court on the date of
the trial.
Attorneys for both defense and pros
ecution have compiled a list of people
to go on the witness stand, primarily
to testify to the character of both the
principal parties. and more than half
hundred may tell of past relations be-
tween Grace and his wife before the
trial reaches it's climax.
The preparations under way suggest
that there is hardly possibility of the
postponement of the trial Both sides
have shown a desire to have the hear
ing on the date it is set for and very
probably when the case is begun It will
be carried to finish before other work
is taken UP by the court.

City Has to Pay
Only Small Part.

Anticipating assessments to be col

gia Railway and Power Company's por-
ton for pavement between its tracks
and a large amount of work pledged by
the county commissioners, council out
lined almost 81 100000 worth Of i'm
provements for this year. With the
year more than half gone, far less than
half Of 1t is completed.
The trolley company pays for eleven
feet of the width Of the street paving
where it has single tracks and for six
teen feet where 1t has double tracks. OF
the remaining part the property own
ers are assessed two thirds of the cost,
according to the frontage owned This
leaves but small amount OF the total
cost TO be paid from the city treasury.
But the progress of the work depends
upon the way it is handled by the city
construction department and the streets
committee of council.
The strategic point for the selection
Of points to be improved is the finance

the annual budget. this committee spec
