lations with all her neighbors. The
services of Mrs. Garland as trained

Only Councilmen Dortch Wood, of
the Thirteenth Ward, and August
Schardt, of the Eleventh Ward, were
absent from the adjourned meeting of
the City Council Monday night when
the liquor tax refund bill was passed
on it's third reading Those voting
against the bill were: G. A. Bowman,
Chas. Buchanan, Hardin Rowan, Fred
Gray, S. P. Harris, John Langham, w.
L. Mcfarland. w. ]. Morrison. DR.. H.
B. Parrish and w. l.. Vaughn. Total,
10.
Those voting for it were: M. S.
Flannigen, P. ]. Geary, E. A. Glen
non, David Jones, d. L. Jones, w. H.
Kinney, A. ]. Lucas, Pink McCarver,
Paul SchOenpfug, Frank Turbeville,
John H. Waddle, Chas. Cohen. Total,
13.
There is little chance of its receiv-
ing the necessary II votes to carry
it over the Mayors veto, according
to the general opinion at the City
Hall.
The last hope of those councilmen
who had sought to refund to the
liquor dealers half of the back tax to
be collected from them for the years
1909-12 was banished Tuesday when
Mayor H. 3. House vetoed the bill
which passed final reading Monday
night providing for such return.
The money due the city from these
liquor dealers, according to the bill in
Chancery, is approximately 100000,
and some of the members of the City
Council sought to refund the lole
amount Later it was agreed that
only one-half of the amount to BE- col
lected should be returned. 1t is claim
ed that the whole 100000 cannot, by
reason of failures and renewals, We
collected, but the city can collect
about 100000.
To Give His Reasons.
Mayor Howse will send a message
to the City Council at it's next meet
ing on February 13, in which he will
give his reasons for vetoing the bill.
Councilman S. P. Harris, of the
Third Ward, voted against the bill
all the way through. Mr.. Harris is
the only Negro member of the Cou1E-
Gil, and the fact that he stood his
ground in this fight against the
liquor interests puts at rest the con-
tention that Negroes are overwhelm-
ingly in favor of liquor. The citizens
of the Third Ward are we'll pleased
over their councilman's position.

IN CRITICISM Of

Law Needed to Prevent COwardIy
Shooting of Innocent Per-
sons, He Declares.

Threats Of Atlanta officers to re-
sign from the Georgia National Guard

civil authorities be adopted, drew sar-
castle remarks from Representative
John ]. Slade. of Muscogee County,
father of the bill, Wednesday MORN
ing.
officers declared such law would
convert them into a suicide squad. "
Mr.. SHADES comment was that he
had no objection to such a squad.
THE military are welcome to COM
nit suicide rather than go down to
Augusta and again murder three in
nocent citizens, and in like cowardly
manner shoot at a woman and child
Thurs spoke Mr. Slade.

They may talk all they want to.
| do not know what the fate of my
bill will be. but l shall fight strongly
for its passage. The people of Geor-
gia don't believe in the ruthless muir
der of innocent persons. And what
else can we call the Augusta tragedy?
The shooting at an innocent woman
and child was cowardly in the eX-
IRENE, and believe in the curbing of
the authority of any body of men to
do SuCh a thing"
Representative Slade is the oldest
member of the Legislature, but is as
active and healthy looking as any

That Frank will make detailed

The defense consistently has re-
fused to divulge any of the details OF
its plans for the trial and for this
reason it is impossible to say posi-
lively that Frank will be cross exam
ined That it is not at all improo-

AS grueling and searching as was
the inquisitiOn before the coroner S
jury the ordeal at the trial will be
much more severe. At the in
quest Frank was interrogated by a.
Coroner who was merely seeking
enough evidence to warrant the hold

At the trial Frank will be confront

that he is the man guilty of the muir

400 feet of wall on the cast side of
the street between Harris and Peach
tree Streets Assistant Chief of Con-
strucuon w. s. Hansel said of it:
1T is my opinion that the giving
away of this wall was due to trying
to be too economical. We did not go
deep enough with our foundations"
Car Question in Dispute.
The till of hundreds of wagonloads
Of dirt has had to be dug out that the
wall might be rebuilt. Property own
ers on the street declare they can see
no excuse for such an error.
A dispute has arisen over whether
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany shall relay the trolley car tracks
on this street. Some of the property
owners desire that it be made a
boulevard for light Conveyances only.
But North Side residents have regis
tered a forCeful protest against the
change They declare it will send
the Piedmont Avenue and Pine Street
cars down through the negro section
of the city, and this they do not want.
This question is hanging fire in the
hands Of a special committee of Coun-
ell.
The residents of the street declare
that they have to suffer enough in
convenience with efficient methods of
construction. and they are bitter
against any needless delays. Prop
erty owners paid into the City Treas
ury $4,000 to help defray the cost OF
the work. The county did the re-
grading.

The House Of Representatives by
a vote Of l35 to 81 to-day unseated
Representatives Macarthur, Of Wheel
er. and Browning. of Bleckley.
The two were named in special
elections 10 represent their two newly
created counties A special commit
tee declared they were unCons'itu-

ed without endangcTing the entire
proceedings of the General Assembly
The members under fire made brave

tain them.
The acts creating Wheeler and
Bleckley ran the total membership Of
the House to 1856. The Constitution
SAYS II must not exceed 1884. This,
together with the illegal manner of
MCArthur's and Browning's elections,
turned the scale against them.
Hard Fight Made.
The fight to save Macarthur and
Browning was the first big fireworks
display Of the present session.
Olive Of Richmond, Myrick of Chat
ham and Pickett of Terrell made
furceful and eloquent speeches in be
half of the members whose seats
were challenged. Slater of Bryan,
Hardeman Of jefferson and Black
burn of Fulton We're equally as in
sistent upon unseating them. For two
hours Wednesday the debate ragged.
This is the first case Of the kind
ever thrashed out in the Georgia
Legislature, and il undoubtedly will
affect the many new county prop
ositions profoundly.
Such new ones as are admitted at
the present session will be admitted
under conditions radically different
from those prescribed for Wheeler
and BlcCkley.
Will Remedy Defect.
The two counties denied representa-
ton IN the present Legislature may
send representatives to the next as
there will be time to remhedy the
present difficulty At the present ses-
sion they will be represented by the
representatives from Montgomery and
Pulaski he two new counties from
which they were taken.
Personally the two ousted members
have many friends, and the House
undoubtedly would like to have seat
ed them, II It might have seated them
