FORMER DAwsONITEs ABOARD.
Prof. and Mrs. Simmons on Steamer
That Had Collision on Pacific.


Prof and Mrs. r. J. Simmons, at
one time residents of Dawson, when
the former was superintendent Of
public schools, were among the pas
sengers aboard the ocean liner
Cleveland, which collided with the
Colorado in Pacific waters a few days
ago. So far as known they were the
only Georgians aboard.
When the first report came of the
accident friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Sim
mons were much perturbed for fear
something serious had happened, but
were relieved later to learn that the
liners merely bumped noses and that
the only victim of the accident was
the pilot, who dropped dead on the
bridge.
Prof and Mrs. Simmons were re-
turning from Honolulu after a trip
around the world.

FREE MUSIC AND PICTURES
DAWSON BAND INTRODUCES NEW

STEVENS BACK ON STAND

Some Weekly Reports.
ATLANTA, Jan. 29.-Hon. o. B.
Stevens appeared voluntarily before
the Ault investigating committee
Monday morning and asked that he
be allowed to set himself Alright as
to material facts relative to his tes-
timony Saturday.
Through misunderstanding
members of the committee gained
the idea that Mr.. Stevens stated on
Saturday that while he was commits
sioner of agriculture he required and
received regular weekly reports from
all oil and fertilizer inspectors
He did not wish to convey any
impression that under his admins
tratiOn he had a definite fixed poll
cy of weekly reports from inspectors.
How misunderstanding Occurred.
The misunderstanding appears to
have arisen in the minds Of some of
the committee through Mr.. Stevens
reply to questions as to how he de-
termined whether or not inspectors
were doing their full duty.
He stated that he usually ascer-
tanned that fact through the render
ing of monthly expense accounts,
which showed in detail where in
spectoTs had been day by day. And
again he learned their general eff
cheney through weekly reports and
submission of samples for analyses,
as made by some inspectors. He ex-
planned that some of the inspectors
rendered weekly reports in a very
thorough and careful manner, while
others did not do so, but that there
was no rule of the department so
requiring. 1t was in this statement
that the impression was created that
different system was maintained
under Mr. Stevens as employed by
Commissioner Hudson.
