AGAIN STIRS UP CONGRESS
RODDENBERY KEEPS UP FIGHT
FOR IMMIGRATION BILL.
BIistered Everything and Everybody
From Mayor GaynOr to Chicago
Officials. No One Escaped.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Represent-
ative Roddenbery, the cyclone
speaker of the wiregrass, got in
action here again today, and for al
most an hour he had the house
standing on its head"
There is one thing that Mr.. Rod
denbery is determined to accomplish
at this session of congress if there is
any way to do it, and that is to Sc
cure the passage of the Burnett i'm
migration bill, which will so alter
the present immigration laws that
the most undesirable class Of for
eigners would be kept from our
shores. Time and again recently Mr..
Roddenbery has scored his col
leagues for failing to pass this Dill.
Yesterday his remarks were most
pointed and he omitted no one in his
comments. Today he went even fur
Their and blistered many men from
Mayor Gaynor of New York to Chi
cago city officials and even the dem
with him here from day to day in
the work of congress.
1t is impossible to repeat half the
Georgian said in the time allowed
him for debate. He went like a
whirlwind and no one escaped his
fire of ridicule and denunciation.
Frequently he was interrupted by
CONGRESSMAN Sabbath of Illinois,
Goldfogle of New York and other
members who objected to his allus-
ions to the Jewish race, but the
steam roller, in complete control OF
Mr.. Roddenbery, ran over him.
Today's efforts on the part of Mr..
Roddenbery were probably the most
and undoubtedly the live
liest which have been recorded at
the present session of congress.

GOV. BROWN KNOCKED DOWN
Executive Sprang to His Feet and
Made Pleasant Remark to Bicycle
Bow Who Did 1t.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Governor Brown
experienced rather a rude shok as he
was going from the executive office
to catch a car for Marietta Monday
afternoon.
Accompanied by Executive Secre-
tary w. R. Power Governor Brown
was walking along hurriedly to catch
the car; and when in the act Of cross
ing Peachtree street at Walton he
had lodged a couple of automobiles
and a street ear, but was suddenly
struck by a messenger boy on a BIZ
cycle and knocked down squarely on
the pavement.
The boy did not know whom he
had struck, but to his credit he did
not try to make a getaway. He
Jumped from his wheel and, with a
look bordering on terror, waited for
what might happen.
Governor Brown sprang to his
feet almost as nimbly as a football
player, looked around upon his in
voluntary assailant and remarked:
well, bud, is anybody hurt?"
There didn't seem to be, and while
the governor and Mr.. Power hurried
on to catch the car the messenger
boy rode off with a broad smile OF re-
lief upon his face.

HERE'S A WRESTLING WELL.
Instead of Performing Time-HOnOred
Duty 1t Predicts Weather Change.

Duty 1t Predicts weather Cnahge'
A certain man in Washington has
in his back yard a whistling well,
which, instead of performing the
time-honored duty of wells, that OF
supplying drinking water, predicts
changes in the weather. With the
object of water in view this man
drove a drill 1913 feet below the sur
face. When the well was this depth
and no water in sight the project
was abandoned as useless. Some
time later the owner noticed that the
pipe which capped the bore was CIV
ing forth a peculiar whistle, MADE
by spouting wind Sometimes the
pipe seems to suck in wind. Ihose
watching it have found that the eX-
pulsion of air always precedes
storm. and the influx of air change
for mild weather. The natural pa
rometer thus made is accounted Tor |
on the theory that the bore has PEN
etrated a cavern of some sort in the
earth and that the air beneath the
earth is driven out when the atmos-
nberic pressure lessons and flows
hack again when the pressure be-
comes heavier.

Addressed an Atlanta Audience of
Twelve Hundred People in Inter-

ATLANTA, Ga.-HoOper Alexan-

an audience of about 1900, Thurs
day night linked up the courts of this
city with what he called a band OF
criminal conspirators" organized for
the purpose of violating Georgia law.
He criticised the grand jury for in

mate locker clubs, though he said the
judges who directed the grand jury's
action may not have intended to dis
criminate.
The meeting at which the policy OF
the grand jury towards the clubs was
decided on, he said, was held in the
Capital City Club. He said the liquor
element was the outpost or advance
guard of the privileged classes and
the predatory interests.
He said the people were sending
him his campaign fund and up to
date there had come to him through
the mails $431.50. With this he is

SOLONS WELDED Ak HEAVILY
UNABLE TO GO TO BARBECUE
KILLED MUCH LEGISLATION.
Ault Measure Was the Exception to
the Rule. Fertilizer Inspectors
Reduced to Twelve.

ATLANTA, Members of the
Georgia house of representatives,
peeved because legislative duties in
terfered with attending the Becky
county barbecue, established a new
record for killing general legislation
in a tiresome four-hour session to-
day.
Big bills, little bills, important and
unimportant measures went the way
of the cold dark chute with equal
rapidity. Representative Ault's
measures, growing out of the probe
of the department of agriculture
were the only exceptions to the vim
dictive rule adhered to by the house
Hardly more than 100 members
were in their seats, and bills that
provoked opposition failed in almost
every instance because of lack OF
constitutional majority.
The Ault bills passed will regulate
the appointment of fertilizer inspec-
tors, take fertilizer inspection fees
out of the hands of the agricultural
commissioner and put gasoline, ben
zine and naptha under the inspection
now obtaining for Illuminating oils.
Reduce Fertilizer Inspectors.
The force of fertilizer inspectors
will be reduced to twelve regular
men who will receive a salary of
500 per month, a sub-force of not
more than forty men will be employ
ed for not more than four months
at a salry of 1888 month. The
fertilizer funds, under the new ar
rangement, are to be handled by the
state treasurer and doled out on
warrants like other state funds
! These funds have hitherto been
handled by the agricultural depart
! ment.

DRASTIC.,BILL PASSED HOUt {
WATTS OF RANDOLPH CAUSEI
CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT.
Said That Cabaniss of OglethOrpe
Author of Fertilizer Measure, Had
Withheld Part of a Letter.

ATLANTA.-The house this after
noon passed by a vote of 112 to 10
the Cabaniss fertilizer filler bill,
which prohibits the use in fertilizers
sold in tbs state of any filler mate
rial such as cinders, sand and the
like. A number of substitutes were
offered and the measure precipitated
a hot fight, but it went through prac-
ticaIly without amendment.
The measure is the same as the
original Blalock bill recently passed
by the senate, but the Blalock bill
was amended so as to permit the use
of filters, requiring only that the
number of pounds used should be
stated on the bag, together with the
statement that it is worthless as a
fertilizer.
The senate would not stand for
the original bill, which is considered
exceedingly drastic in it's provisions
but it will now have to consider prac-
tically the same bill from the house
1t is believed the bill as it recently
passed the senate will be sent back
to the house as a substitute and un
less some agreement can be reached
the legislature may fail altogether
A little excitement was caused
during the debate by charge by Mr.
Watts of Randolph to the effect tina
Mr.. Cabaniss of Oglethorpe, author
of the measure, had withheld from
the house a certain portion of a let
ter regarding the bill from DR.. Pratt
a we'll known chemist. Mr.. Cabanis
replied tartly, charging the oppo
nents of the bill with being alliet
with the fertilizer trust.

LIVES IN WOODS LIKE BIRDS
MERCHANT DONS BATHING SUIT
AND OBEYS CALL OF WILD.
Believes Modern LIES Worries Due
TO Not Living in Conformity
With Biblical Injunction.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.-Impelled
by religious mania to the belief that
modern life's worries are altogether
unnecessary because people do not
| live in conformity to the biblical in
functions of simplicity David Lundin,
a successful merchant, donned a
bathing suit in the height of rain
storm and vanished from his fathers
house in Holland Heights, Fairfield.
After a posse of relatives and friends
secured the woods of Fairfield and
the outskirts of this city in vain
search for the missing man he sud
denly reappeared at his place of bus
mess two days later.
Lundin has been conducting a
market in Sterling street for sixteen
months. He prospered so that he in
vested extensively in building lots.
Sunday afternoon several of his
brothers had gathered in the Lundin
home in Holland Heights, while the
parents had gone on a bus ride into
the country. Two of the boys were
bag punching when suddenly David
appeared clad in the trunks of a
bathing suit belonging to. the young
er brother, and started out in the
rain.
About an hour passed before the
brothers began to worry and then a
hurried search was begun. Through
the night and morning the brothers
and neighbors continued the search.
and at noon they appealed to the
authorities of Fairfield and this city
/ to help in the search.
! MY son became imbued with this
: religious mania several weeks ago,
said the elder Lundin at police head
quarters. Il believe he was led into
it by an old man who used to spend
much time at his store. This man
was of patriarchal appearance, with
y long beard and flowing hair that
reached far over his shoulders. lie
talked OF living on FeSeIdple IOOu
alone and argued that he could go
into the woods and live like bird,
and when | demonstrated further he
said if he could not live as he plann-
ed he always had the alternative OF
cutting his throat.
Il am afraid he will find the life
he planned for himself so unendura-
BILE that he may resort to rash meas
ures."
Lundin returned home two days
later, donned his street attire, went
to the end of the trolley line at
Mountain Grove cemetery and reap
peared at his store in the afternoon.
Il thought I'd like to try 1t just
for an experiment he said to
reporter. Il went back in the coun-
try about six miles and slept over
night in haystack. l kept pretty
comfortable. Pm pretty warm
blooded and the cold night air didn't
bother me, because l packed myself
pretty comfortably in hay. l rather
enjoyed the experience. | may try

would often steal as many as 90
chickens in a night. He dressed
them in the day time. and then sold
them at just enough reduction under
the market price to have no diff
ulty in disposing of them.
Many persons have stopped raising
chickens on account of his persistent
thefts.

PROHI LEADERS SEE MISTAKE
is WITH PEOPLE WHETHER DIR
LAWS SHALL BE CHANGED.
Tippins Bill Could Have Been Saves.
Had Its Friends Followed Line OF
the Governors Pledge.

ATLANTA.-The death Of the
Tippins prohibition bill through the
refusal of the house of representa-
tives to sustain Gov. Browns veto
probably means an end to attempted
prohibition legislation unless the
voter figures as a court OF last re-
sort.
That was the one issue of the cam
paign for governor in 1911, Follow
ing the resignation of Gov. Smith.
In that campaign Pope Brown stood
for prohibition straightout; Judge
R. B. Russell was local optionist,
reverting TO the old regime before
the passage of the present prohibi-
ton law; Gov. Brown came in be-
tween the two and said: Il am a
| prohibitionist, but | do not think
this question should figure In polit-
ical fight. believe the people should
settle il at the polls and / will oppose
any chaIGe whatever in existing con-
dlticns IS to prohibition that does
not carry with it provision for sub
hitting the question to vote of the
people"
Gov. Brown won by largo plu-
raIity, and it was clear if that cleo
ton meant anything it conveyed the
instruction that the prohibition law
should only be changed at the ballot
box.
The prohibitionists of both house
and senate now see their mistake;
they feel, too, that they have lost
strength as a result of their refusal
to permit the question to go to the
ballot box.
This is already evident in bills
which have been introduced follow
ing knowledge of the practical GER
tainty that the governor would veto
/ the Tippins bill.
Before the senate there are now
pending two bills, one to abolish
locker clubs and the other to close
up the near beer saloons and stop
the sale of beer. Both of these car
ry with them the provision that, if
passed, they shall be submitted to a
vote of the people at special cleo
ton to be held the first week in De-
cember.
The passage of these measures and
their approval by the governor
would be in line with the result OF
last years election for governor.
Whether they will get through both
houses is a question on account of
the lateness of the session.
But the prohibitionists of house
and senate had their chance and lost
it, and if they get anything at all in
the little time there is left OF the
session they will be fortunate.
