HOT AFTER MINISTER.
STATEMENT THAT JUSTICE IN
FULTON COUNTY is WEIGHED
BY DOLLARS RESENTED.
PREACHER GETS SENSATIONAL

And Is Likely to Be Prosecuted for
Charges He Made in Pulpit. At
lanta Lawyers Are Indignant and
May Take Action.
ATLANTA.-Lead members of
the Atlanta bar are so outraged at
public utterances made by Rev.
Hugh Wallace, pastor of the Jones
Avenue Baptist church, rejecting on
the honor and integrity of the judges
Of the local courts that they are talk
ing of prosecuting the minister for
SANDER.
Rev Mr. Wallace is quoted as say
ing from his pulpit:
Justice in Fulton county is
weighed by the dollar mark. God
have mercy on the courts of a com
munity when they reach such a con-
dition as this.
And further in the same sermon:
'Red-handed murderers have been
turned loose on this community by
the courts simply because they were
backed up by money and influence.
1t is shame that men guilty of cold
blooded, heinous crimes should go
free and disgrace the name of justice
simply because they have money and
influence"
The charges of Rev. Mr. Wallace
have made a stir all the more sensa-
tional because never before in this
generation has a judge of an Atlanta
court been accused of venality.
This preacher should be made to
prove his charges or should be forced
to leave the community" said an
officers of the Bar Association yester-
day.
''The Judge of the superior crimi-
nal court in this city, Hon. L. 5.
Roam, is an upright, God-fearing
gentleman, christian and a splen-
did character. The whole personnel
of the Judges on the Atlanta bench
is such as to place them individually
above the reach of such outrageous
Islander as that INDUCED in by this
minister, but his utterances, none
the less, hurt the community; they
hurt the dignity of the law; they are
sensational and miserably untrue. "

CONGRESSMAN FOUGHT OVER CARDS
HIGH COURT SETS PRECEDENT
Holds That Georgia Cities Can't Tax
Telegraph Companies. Case
Went From Cordele.


A decision of the supreme court
just handed down will affect scores
of municipalities in Georgia, includ-
ing Dawson, where a license tax has
for a number of years been collected
from the Western Union Telegraph
Company.
In the case of the Postal Telegraph
and Cable Company VS.. the Mayor
of Cordele it was held that the levy
of a municipal tax was unconstitu-
tional, as it was interference with
interstate business. The court held;
where a city by ordinance laid a
tax of $100 on every telegraph COM
pany doing business within the city
or in lieu thereof required such COM
panies to pay So for each and every
pole within the city limits, and which
tax affected the entire business OF
such companies, both interstate and
domestic, such an ordinance is I'M
constitutional and void as against a
company doing an interstate busl-
ness"
1T follows from the facts in this
case and decisions of the supreme
court of the United States, above cit
ed, that the ordinance of the city OF
Cordele. in question, was an unlaw-
full interference with interstate COM
merce and is, therefore, unconstitu-
tional and uncomfortable.

JABSAT JACK JOHNSON
RODDENBERY DENOUNCES MIS-
CEGENATTON IN HOT SPEECH
ON HOUSE FLOOR.
2ND DIST. MEMBER INDIGNANT

Georgian Urges Congress to Prevent
the Intermarriage of Whites and
Negroes. Resolution Was Not
Brought TO Vote.
WASHINGTON. n. C.-Denuncia-
+ion of the legal procedure under
which "a brown-hued, black-skinned,
tbick-lipped. brutal-hearted African
ran walk into an office Of the law and
demand an edict guaranteeing him
legal wedlock to a white woman"
was one of many sensational features
of a speech in the house today by
Representative Roddenbery OF Geor-
gia in favor of law by congress TO
prevent inter-marriages of whites
and negroes.
Mr.. Roddenbery prophesied that
the legal sanction of mixed mar
riages ultimately might bring this
country to a conflict. He declared
that no brutality, infamy or degra-
dation in all the days of Southern
slavery possessed such villainous
character and as atrocious qualities
as the permission of that marriage
by the laws of this country"
The measure, the direct result Of
the recent marriage Of Jack John
son. the negro pugiIist, with a white
girl did not get to a vote.
In Chicago, Mr.. Roddenbery said,
not only is the white slave traffic
carried on, but the white girls of
this country are made the slaves of
an African brute, sanctioned by the
laws of the state, and solemnized by
a form of marriage ceremony.
Mr. Roddenbery added: I'VE say
this is a great country, with its NOR
ais. traditions, virtues and examples,
deserving to be emulated and enyied
by other countries. But we see an
African with much brutal force, with
no moral character, with no stamina,
entering the office of a prObating
magistrate or other legal officer in
that city and calling on him to issue
to me. Jack Johnson a marriage
license to wed a young American wo-
man of our own blood, our own col
or.
The speaker declared that Gin the
fellowship between the blacks and
the whites in the South the
blacks respected the superiority Of
their former masters and would
commit self-destruction before enter
tanning a thought of matrimony with
a Caucasian girl. -

to Eyes of New York Leader, Who
Rung in a New Rule ON Game
of Whist, 1t Seems.
WASHINGON-The sad story of
how democratic peace and harmony
was rudely broke into, when mem
bers of the appropriations commit
tee of the house were on their way
to Panama to see the canal and study
it's needs, shortly before the short
session of congress, found its way
into the capitol today.
Much as they deprecated the rude
jostling given to harmony in the par
ty democrats in the house and even
august senators on the democratic
side Tapped up the recital of the oc-
currence with an avidity that was
surprising.
Briefly the story is to the effect
that while the members of the COM
mittee were Practically enjoying a
whist game a dispute over the rules
arose between Chairman Fitzgerald
of the appropriations committee and
Congressman Charles Lafayette
Bartlett of Georgia.
The upshot of it was that fist
fight ensued Mr.. Bartlett, who is
small, but wiry and withal extreme
ly quick, smashed hard at the face
of the Brooklyn congressman and
broke the latter's spectacles.
The two contestants were parted
before much damage occurred other
than to the spectacles. And until
now the scrap has been carefully
hushed up.
Bartlett InSurged.
AS the story runs about the house,
it is alleged that "FitZ,' who is
king bee of the parliamentarians,
tried to promulgate a new rule of
whist. At least, Bartlett thought it
was a new rule and he insurged
He wouldn't stand for it, and
there was a hot discussion, which
the lazy tapping of the tropical waves
along the vessels sides did not calm.
Finally the Georgia member arose
in his place and without wasting any
time in declarations of war he pro-
ceeded to try an uppercut at the
New York member The blow de-
molished the spectacles.
Whether Chairman Fitzgerald did
not want to strike back or whether
he couldn't see without his glasses
is not material to the story. Any
how, the other players jumped in to
restore order. Congressman Swagar
Serley of Kentucky helped restore
peace and the row ended by Fitzger-
aid lecturing Bartlett and telling him
he ought to keep cool.
I'm our state" said Fitzgerald,
cts a felony to strike man with
glasses" Moreover, Fitzgerald told
Bartlett that he had got up the trip
and made up the party and felt
certain responsibility for it. He
chided the Georgia member for his
hot-headedness.
What became of Fitzgerald's new
rule on whist is not stated.
