BOY, II, PURSUES
FLEEING BURGLAR
Negro Pushed Mrs. E. B. Nc
Daniel Back in Bed and Left
When She Screamed.

Lying awake until O'Clock this
morning with a sick six weeks old baby
boy, one of twins, Mrs. f. B. McDan-
iel, of 10 West Georgia avenue, the
wife of a Southern railway engineer
who was away on a trip, heard a bur
glar entering her room window. Help
less in her fright, she, remained silent
until the man, negro, was in the room.
Then she screamed with all her might
The negro rushed at her and showed
her back in the bed, then fed through
the window he had entered.
Charles Mcdaniel, a yearold son,
was aroused and he pursued the bur
glar with his fathers pistol.
Policemen David and Camp were
standing only a block away. They saw
a man running and overlook him.
The negro gave his name as Ed Muir
ply They took him before Mrs. Nc
Daniel, but she was unable positively
to identify him. Because of the weak
ness of the evidence Recorder Broylcs
did not bind the negro over to the state
court, but sentenced him to the stock
ade for 80 days.

ing that the ten members who voted

Reforms Needed
Everywhere, He Saws.

Reforms are needed everywhere.
I'VE need the best city engineer in
America to plan for the great building
opportunity that is today open to us.
The next mayor of Atlanta will be
the man on whose shoulders the great
er part of these tremendous RESPONSE
bilities will fall There could be no
bigger opportunity to a man who would
serve unselhshly, bravely and patriot
iCally."
These statements were made in an
Interview with a reporter for The
Georgian. Judge Gambler made them
after retterating the statement recently
published that he would not be a can
didate for mayor.
Il have told my friends and support
ers finally that l will not be a candi-
date" he said. The job will require
more time and effort than l could DOS

SENATE VOTES NOT TO
BAR POSTAL CLERKS
FROM LABOR UNIONS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The pro-
vision of the postoffice bill dealing with
the right Of postal employees to organ
lie and to petition congress was the
storm center in the senate today.
An amendment offered by Senator
Jones, of Washington, that any organi-
cation Of the employees must not be
affiliated with any outside labor organ
ization was rejected by a vote Of 81
TO 90
Senator Bourne offered an amend
ment providing that no organization OF
employees shall be of a secret nature
The right of Federal employees to
strike was freely discussed by the SEN
ators. Senator Smith, of South Caro-
lima, defended the right of government
employees to organize and affiliate
with other labor organizations. Sena-
tor Root took issue with him, declaring
this might lead to strike Of govern
ment employees and that the right to
strike is possessed only by workers
upon private enterprises.
Senator Smith, of Georgia, said:
For government employees to organ
ize to strike is for them to organize to
overthrow law, inasmuch as their
status is fixed by law. We do not
question their right to petition con-
gress, but any effort to change condi-
tions imposed by law except by chang
ing the law is revolution"

details of the present city's problem. as
he sees them. He touched upon the
tendency to break away from moral
lines. He said that city offices were
too much affected by politics He said
the most imperative need was a more
efficient street and sewer system and
that city developments should be made
on more scientific lines.
