CHARTER DEFEAT
PLEASES RIM"
Politicians TiCkIed Over Pres
ent Condition That Prohib-
its Any Reform.

Politicians are gleeful to-day over
their success in bringing about what
they consider to be a political condi-
ton that will absolutely prohibit any
charter reforms this year. Except for
interference by the electorate. Atlanta's
present charter will not be changed so
much as the dotting of an 81" or the
crossing of a It"
Councilman Charles W. Smiths res
olution consigning the charter of the
committee of % to the junk heap and
providing for the legislature to submit
councils revamped charter to the neo
pie is what turned the trick. Mayor
Woodward asserts he will veto the res
olution. There are not enough advo-
Gates of the measure to pass it over
the mayors veto; and if there were it
is doubtful if the effort would be made

order changed.
The meeting place for the caucus,
for the framing of this program was
changed from the Office of Aldine
Chambers, defeated candidate for the
mayoralty, to Councilman Smiths Of

the result of criticisms by charter re-
form leaders. The meeting was held
late Saturday, but until to-day no def

were made public.
Mayor Woodward declared to-day
that the fight for a reform of Atlanta's
government never would end short Of

A Georgia woman expects to be one
OF the first to benefit by President
Woodrow Wilson's announced eff

Mrs. Helen Longstreet, for eight
years postmaster at Gainesville, Ga
said in Atlanta to-day she is making
her fight for reaDpointment solely on
her record in office and is not trying
to bring any political pressure to bear
on the president.
Il have never had any political
strength" said Mrs. Longstreet. Con
gresham Bell is my ancient enemy,

tanning them in office under a Repuo-

President Wilson is not a spoils-

American and he will not lend himself
to the iniquitous schemes of the Geo--

VII ERE LIQUORICE COMES
 FROM

Very few people have any idea where the familiar liquorice root comes from. As d matter of fact. the bulk of it halls from Syria. Here it is gathered and piled into great stacks. where it remains until it is thoroughly dry. It is then taken to the factory to undergo certain pro cesses. The finished product is used for flavoring confectionery and beer as well as entering into the makeup of many brands of tobacco. Some idea of the extent of the industry may be gathered when it IS stated that on an average 5000 tons of dry iquorice root is shipped from Aleppc annually while Bagdad yields another 5000 tons Antioch 4000 and Damascus 300 tons With the exception of the Damascus output the whole trade is in the hands of a single firm.-June Wide World Magazine.

SAN DIEGO FAIR IS
 ID FEATURE MOTORS
Directors of Panama California Expo sition to Play up Modern Cars.

sition to Play up Modern Cars.
 SAN DIEGO, Cal, June 1-RecOg- nizing the motor driven vehicle as one of the greatest factors in the business and social life of today. the San Diego exposition management has reached determination to present the biggest demonstration of the utility of motor vehicles during the exposition year of 1915 that it is possible to make. A building on the grounds of the expo sition in San Diego that will cost at least two hundred thousand dollars, and which will be one of the group of main exposition buildings facing on street. is proposed. As planned this building will be two stories above the Prado. the principal exposition ground, with towers for adOrnment and a basement below ground for repair shops.
 The~novelty of the plan for demon stratiOn. however, will lie in a drive way, or boulevard. leading from the rear of the basement, skirting the can yons and rounded hillsides on the northeast corner of the exposition site and affording the grandest opportunity for the practical demonstration of mo- tor driven vehicles that can be imag ined. Portions of this broad driveway will be on a level, and others will pre- sent sufficient grades to thoroughly test the qualities of the cars and the motors that drive them. These grades vii! all be accurately marked with oc- casiOnal signs, giving their percent ages And all of the boulevard will be lined with palms and rare ferns and other specimens of tropical foliage and will afford glimpses of mountain and ocean shore scenery. the like of which is to be found nowhere else in the world. Every turn in the road will present a new scene, and a different prospect of flower gardens, lawns. tiny lakes and towering rivulets with rus
 tic bridges to cross, and fern and moss covered hillsides to skirt.
 San Diego has a climate that per mits pleasure riding every day of the year. and it is naturally the play ground of America. and the place where thousands upon thousands of people who use motor driven vehicles for pleasure gather, year after year. It naturally attracts the people of wealth, who are able to afford motor cars both for pleasure and for business. Tn such surroundings the demonstrators of automobiles would be demonstrating not only the qualities of their respec- tive makes of cars. but also the very joys of motoring. and to the very peo- ple to whom the pleasure of automobil- ing most thoroughly appeal.
 Representatives of the San Diego ex- position are now in cities of the east where the greatest number of motor cars are manufa ctured interesting the manufacturers and selling agencies generally in this novel plan of demon Strating what the motor driven Ve- hicle means to the present day civili- zation.

AUTO RUNSAWAY
 WITH CHILDREN
Electric Machine With Two Tiny Tots Starts up While Mother Is In Store and Is Only Stopped After Chase By Bystanders

Left alone in the family electric limousine while their mother step ped into the Redewill Music Store on West Washington street, two chil- dren of Dr. and Mrs. Messinger, mar rowly escaped serious injury and possible death when the auto moved away from the curb and started without a guiding hand to make it's way along the crowded street. But for the promptness with which seV- eral men responded to the screams of the children and the appeals of Mrs. Messinger, the machine could not have kept it's course and it must ultimately have wound up against @ curb or telegraph pole.
 It all happened on Thursday after noon while the polls were still open. Just across the street from the RedeWiH Music Store a polling place was located and it was members of the election board who first saw the plight of the children. Most of them deserted the ballots and started for the machine. It was not moving at any considerable speed and even Mrs Messinger, spurred on by her moth CT love. was nearly able to catch up with the moving car.
 Strong men managed to reach the car at the rear and grasping it from behind attempted to stop it's course. But they were unable to make even an impression. Finally one of the men jumped into the car and began working with the various levers. Once he touched one which made the car spring forward but he succeeded in quickly reversing He was still unable to bring about a complete stop.
 From far behind Mrs. MessinGer was running and calling to the man directions for stopping the machine. Finally his hand touched the right spot and the children were saved. And when the mother saw that her little ones were unharmed she did the only thing d woman is expected to do under such circumstances and tainted in the street.
 In leaving the children in the car, Mrs Messinger intended to be in the music store but a moment and she had just cautioned them to touch nothing while she was gone. It is supposed that the children either disobeyed or that in moving about one of them unintentiOnalIy came in contact with the starting gear Mrs. Messinger quickly recovered and took her place in the car and drove home

DOG TAX TAGS
 ON SALE TODAY
After June 10 Canines With out Horseshoe -Adornment Will Be Sought By Man With the Big Net and Long Lasso

Beginning this morning license tags | for dogs will be on sale at the of | flee of City Assessor and Tax Col lector c w Barnett in the city hall l building. The tags will be good for l one year from June 10 and their sale l is begun ten days before that date | in order that all owners of canines | may have the opportunity 10 secure them and thereby forestall summary action by the dogcatcher.
 The tags for 1913 are different ip design from anything yet used in this city. They are of brass, shaped like a horseshoe with large figures giving the year 1913. To the tags are attached a suitable metal link by which they may be attach
 cd to the collar of a dog practically insuring them against loss by being
 rubbed off.
 There is bound to be more than ordinary activity on the part of the
 dog catcher this Year for the reason that there are known to be hundreds
 of untagged dogs in town at the
 present time. The prevalence of "a
 bies in Phoenix last year was be-
 lieved to have been largely aggra-
 Vated by the presence of many home
 less dogs about the streets.
 It is undrstood that an effort will be made to have the common council takes steps toward revising the present city ordinance relating
 to taxing dogs and killing those up on which the tax has not been paid to the end that summary execution shall not take place. There have been many instances where harmless pets have been exterminated upon which the tax has been paid and the tag lost. Others have been executed upon which the license would have been paid if the owners had known the dog had been captured. To in sure the city receiving the fullest rctenue for the dogs the proposed ordinance would make compulsory the payment of the tax and not permit the owner to escape this tax by sending his dog to the executioner The tax this year. as previously will be two dollars without respect to color, sex or previous condition of servitude.
