 B|G SENSATION
Committee on State msti- tutions and Public Elk penditures Brings Report With Structures on Acts of Administration

The house committee on state in -titutions and public expenditures known as the Axe" committee, brought in it's report yesterday after noon on the report of the board of control This was the sensation of rhe house sessions yesterday. It caused no end of comment in the corridors. especially after the report was upon motion of Barker of Pinal sent to the attorney general. The uu report is as follows:
 Mr. Speaker: Your committee on state institutions and expenditures having had under consideration the report ol the board of control, begs leave to report as follows.
 Chapter l. Title 56, Revised Sta utes Of 1901. describes the board of control anl their duties The board consists of the governor who is chairman the auditor, and q citizen member who is appointed by the governor. and who is also secretary ut the board They have full charge of charitable. penal and reformatory institutions and purchase all supplies for the same All purchases exceed ing one hundred dollars in amount shah be advertised for and let to the lowest responsible bidder. In cases of emergency private purchases may be made by the board not exceeding in amount one hundred dollars for

anv one institution. except in the case of the prison, the amount is two hun fred and fifty dollars. All pow CTS and duties for the government of the institutions is conferred upon the board and it is the duty of the board to perform all duties required of said board by existing laws and also to visit all the institutions placed under their control at least once every three months and make a thorough inspection thereof. and from time to time formulate such rules and regula- = tions for the government of the same, as they may deem advisable.
 There is absolutely no authority of law for the heads of state institu- tfons to make purchases as has been done This. however. has been done. and later ratified by the board of control which is a direct violation of the law.
 Again. the rule of the board of control is purchases under the emer- gency clause rather than by bids. Bids are not called for as they should be and running accounts are kept with firms under the emergency clause. The superintendent or the prison has made purchases exceeding the TWO hundred and fifty dollars emergency and instructed the mer- chant to ship the goods in two in voices on the same day to come with in the law allowing emergency pur- chases, but also in direct violation of the law regarding the purchasing by bids And this was later ratified by the board of control

SLATON ENDORSES
COUNTY FAIRS

Atlanta, Nov. 17.-GoYernor John NJ.
Slaton's statewide plan OF having
county fairs regularly every year in
every county in Georgia, has awakened
a literally storm of commentator and
among men who have
studied agricultural conditions and are
interested in the progress of the state.
The governor made his suggestion
on his return from attendance during
the past weeks of a score or more CT
fairs. THE more have seen CT
county fairs" he said, the more
thoroughly 1 have become impresse
with the idea that they serve a splen-
did and really helpful purpose.

WOMAN RUNS WILD
IN POLICE COURT

Atlanta, Nov. 17.-For cursing out 3
white woman, fighting the police, try
iEg to tear down the police station
and escaping from Jail, Evelyn Pleas,
a giant negress, was sent to the chain
gang today.
When she was sentenced she threw
the police court into pandemonius.
After using as violent language as
possible, coupled with equally violent
gestures, she managed to get herself
sentenced to a total of four months,
which she will serve in the Atlanta
stockade. The Pleas woman has been
in the hands of the police before but
has always managed to get away.

TURKEY SPEC|AL"
To EASTERN MARKETS

Morristown. Tenn, Nov 17.--All pre-
parations have been completed by the
traffic and transportation departments
" the Southern railway for the oper-
alton of the annual Thanksgiving "Tu--
key Special" from the great East Ten
nessee poultry district to the big east
ern markets. The special train will
start from Johnson City Friday morn
ing, Nov. 21st, running via Morristowa
and Asheville to Washington over the
Southern railway and from Washington
to New York over the Pennsylvania
railroad. Stops will be made at va
rious East Tennessee points TO pick 10
cars, but after the train is complete it
will be hurried eastward on practical
Il passenger time Thousands of live
turkeys will be shipped in special poul-
try cars, while refrigerator cars will
also be handled for dressed birds and
eggs.
The poultry business has come to be
one of the great money producers of
East Tennessee. While special trains
are run to eastern markets for the
Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities,
shipments are not confined to these
seasons, the records of the Southern
railway showing an average of nearly
fifty cars per month from this section
to eastern and southern markets dur
ing the past year. These figures refer
to solid cars and do not include very
heavy volume of business moved in less
than car load lots.
For it's poultry shipments East Ten
nessee is now getting hundreds oi
thousands of dollars of outside moneV
every year and while the greater part
of this money comes from the big
eastern cities, very considerable pr
cntage comes from southern cities
which are surrounded by territories in
which conditions are extremely favor
able for poultry-raising.

HARRISON APPOINTS
NEW BOARD MEMBERS
More Developments in the Fight Over
Side-tracking Of Mrs, Ella
Flagg Young.

CHICAGO, Dec. l7.-Three members
Of the Chicago school board were ap,
pointed tonight by Mayor Carter A.
Harrison to Fill the places of the fiy
board members whose designations he
accepted as result of their voting
against the reelection of Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young as superintendent Of in.
struction. H. A. Lipsky, one of those
whose designations was accepted, prob
ably will be reappointed, as ne has sent
a letter to Mayor Harrison explaining
that he cast blank vote on the first
ballot in order that on the second bal
lot he might announce he would vote
for Mrs. Young, turning the tide in her
favor. The fifth appointment is still
open.
The designations of the deposed board
members were filed with the mayor inn
mediately after their appointments, and,
when storm among the women s clubs
arose at the failure to re-elect Mrs.
Young, Mr.. Harrison notified the mem
bers that he had accepted them.
Four Of the deposed men have en-
gagged an attorney and announced that
they would fight their removal on the
ground that their designations were ex-
tracted from them before the appoint
ments were given.
The appointments were ratified by
the council after Mr.. Harrison had been
questioned as to their attitude in re-
gard to returning Mrs. Young to the
superlntendency.
