below the one in which Grace was lying. After Grace was revived he said he had been shot while he was asleep, sometime during the early part or the morning and that he had every reason to believe that his wife had done it.
 Then it was learned that Mrs. Grace had left the house sometime dur ing the day and had gone to Newman, Ga, to visit her mother-in-law.
 That evening Mrs. Grace was ar rested at Newman and brought back to Atlanta. On facing her husband the latter directly accused her of shooting him and leaving him to die alone.
 Then Mrs. Grace told him unless he Withdrew the accusation she would take the power of attorney, which he exercised, away from him.
 This threat seemed to have the de- sired effect for Grace at once declared that he must be mistaken.
 The power of attorney, the threat ened removal of which caused Grace to withdraw the accusation for the time being, was in regard to the mort gazing of Philadelphia property that Mrs. Grace had received from her for mer husband. Grace was to have gone to Philadelphia on the day he was shot to arrange for the mortgage.
 Mrs. Grace admits that she did not leave her husband until after II o'clock on the day of the 5th She says that oher husband had complained of not feeling we'll but she supposed he would soon recover from the 1ndis- position and go to Philadelphia in the afternoon, as planned. She says she went to Newman to see her husbands s mother and to join the former on a later train and go on to Philadelphia with him.
 On the other hand Grace says that he aWoke about o'clock on the morn ing of the 5th with burning sensa- ton in his side. He didn't know what was the matter with him and request ed his wife to call doctor. He says Mrs. Grace made pretense of going to the telephone and calling up phy- scian but that in reality she never took the receiver down from the hook. But on the contrary, stuffed cotton in the instrument to prevent it from ring ing.
 Grace charges his wife with having heavily drugged him before shooting him. This, he says, accounts for the

priation bill. The Senate has declared in favor of the authorization of two battleships this year, while the House is determined that no such action shall be taken, and a deadlock is likely to result Other appropriation bills such as rivers and llarbors, sundry, civil and agriculture are provocative of diff ferences of opinion between the two houses because of the large increases which the Senate has made in the appropriations over the amounts voted by the House. Moreover, the subject of parcels post are the provision for commission to investigate the subject of taking over the express companies and conducting a postal express under the postal system, as provided for in the post office appro- priation bill, are destined to cause a long disagreement between the House and Senate.
 Even with the appropriation bills out of the way, and they are not like ly to be disposed of until the last moment. there remain other matters of legislation which are regarded as of the highest importance So, far as the House is concerned itswas imposition to have agreed to adjournment by the first of July. or even before, but the accumulation of business in the Sen ate is what has delayed the final wind

provision repeating the defunct Cana dian reciprocity act, and the House is not disposed to yield to this addition Hence, there is deadlock on the measure, and if it should reach the president he will likely veto it. The chemical schedule bill passed the House but was defeated in the Sem ate. The wool Oschedule bill is penG- ing in the Senate as are the sugar schedule bill and the excise or. income tax bill which is calculated to raise revenue to take the place of that which would be lost by the passage of the free sugar measure. All three of these bills are before the Senate with an unfavorable report, and the prospect for ther favorable consideration by that body are not bright There is some slight hope expressed that 8 compromise sugar bill may be passed. but of this there is nothing certain.
 There is still some talk of antitrust legislation, but the outlook for the passage of any such measure, with the approach of dog days is not good.

IVOMAN'S $ TRIAL
 1 CREATES. INTEREST
 Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace Will Face Judge and Jury Tomorrow.
HUSBAND TO ATTEND.
Ian Who Was Victim of Mysterious Shooting, Now Paralyzed in Lower Limbs.

Atlanta. Ga, July 20.-What prom ses to he one of the most sensational rials ever held in this city will open Iext Monady when Mrs. Daisy Ulrich bpe Grace will be brought into court sharged with shooting her husband, Eugene H. Grace, on the 5th of last March, as he lay asleep in his home h this city.
 The chief feature of the trial will Re the presence of the accusing hus- hand who will sit in the courtroom In an invalid chair, with the lower bart of his body paralyzed, aiding in he prosecution of his wife, who, he avs. shot him to obtain $27,000 in- $urance he had taken out in his life or her benefit
 The circumstances surrounding this ttrange case necessarily give it TO- hantic air of mystery.
 It will be recalled that shortly after 2 o'clock on Tuesday, March ,, the police headquarters of Atlanta re- eived feeble call for help over the telephone. A number of policement were dispatched to the home of Eu- yene H. Grace, from when the call tame, and they found every outside oor of the house securely locked Forcing an entrance they made their way to an upper bedroom. There they ound Grace lying unconscious with a kaping bullet wound in his side. On urther search they discovered a re- Tolver, with one chamber empty, lying bn the floor in the room immediately

up. One of these important measures is the bill providing for the conduct of the Panama Canal and the regula- tion of tolls. It's passage at this ses- sion is considered imperative if the waterways is to be placed in success full operation with the beginning of 1915. The canal bill has passed the House, and the Senate wants upwards of three weeks for it's consideration. In all probability the bill will be amended in the Senate and then will come the question of an agreement on these amendments by the House There are non-partisan questions in- volved and both sides are determined to make stubborn fight for the prin- ciples which they consider involved
 So far as tariff legislation is con cerned, there is scant probability of any measure affecting the customs du- ties being enacted at this session. Of the several measures of this character reported by the ways and means com mittee this season, none has so far reached the president. The only one to pass both houses is the bill revis- ing and reducing the duties of the steel schedule. esosfar 'assthe ratessare concerned the bill which passed the Senate is the same as the bill which passed the House.

EVERYBODY SHOULD VOTE.

1t behOoveS every American to cas-
a ballot in the coming election. A
criterion of good citizenship is a
wholesome desire to take part in the
government A man takes part in
government when he votes. 1t is in
deed a great privilege that we of a
democratic nation can rule ourselves
and it is a sacred duty of every citi-
zen to have a say in this rule.
Especially should University stu
dents vote. The primary aim of a
state school is to train for good citi-
zenship, and every good citizen holds
it duty to cast his ballot at election
time Then, too. University students
are thought of as an enlightened
class of voters who will better condi-

THE FIGHT GAME TOTTERS.

The recent acts of Jack" Johnson
have caused so much condemnation
and resulted in so much denunciation
simply because he is black man. The
climax of intolerable conduct from
fighters of the squared ring has been
reached il the conduct of the present
champion of the boxing game. In the
past long list of prize fighters have
been guilty of doing things which
would not be tolerated from other
people.
The history of pugilism is a story
of fortunes made within a few years
of fighters gloved activity It's his
tory of rapid spending and of mex
cusable dissipation. Our prizefighter,
as a rule, has not been the type of
man to arouse within us a feeling of
pride; he has not been the kind of
citizen we could commend as repre-
sentative And he has brought about
his own downfall The future Of
gloved battle is tottering. And the
present champion boxer, because of
his color, has succeeded in arousing
public sentiment as the acts of white
man could not do. He is forcing the
game to its final destruction.

WHOLESALE SCRATCHING.

The scratching of every constitu-
tional amendment on a ballot has be-
come habit with some people Very
often they are strongly opposed to
some special one and for spite they
scratch all of them. Often political
bosses desire their followers to vote
against certain amendment. To be
sure that no mistakes are made the
followers are instructed to scratch all
of the amendments. This probably
contributed largely to the defeat of
the mill-tax amendment two years
ago, since many men wanted to vote
for the sale of liquor and scratched
all of the amendments to be sure
they got the right one.
This year we have a large number
of other amendments to be voted on.
1t will be the same as in former years.
Many people are against the single
tax amendment, and some of them
will be tempted to use their pencil on
all the others.
This wholesale scratching of amend
ments is cause enough for every citi-
zen in Columbia to go to the polls and
vote for Amendment Number Nine. 1t
will take a large number of "yes"
votes to offset the mo" votes that are
cast merely through this wholesale
scratching method.

The Tempting Of Tavernake.
f. Phillips Oppenheim, in "The
Tempting of Tavernake," has added
another book to his long list of in
tensely interesting stories. This time
the story centers on the rivalry of
two sisters of opposite ideals. Mr..
Oppenheim gives an exceptionally
good word portrait of woman who
is continually exerting her power in an
effort to gain control over men.
The scenes of this story are laid in
London and New York About the
best thing that can be said for the
story is that it is something different
in general plot. in hero, and in the
ending. Mr.. Oppeheim creates a wo-
man worth loving and when you have
finished reading the book you will
have no doubt as to why Tavernake
