ATLANTA PORT|A
PLEADS FOR DOC
Judge BroyIes DismlSses Case
Against Mrs. Hoffman and
"Prince," Protector.

In the role of Portia, Mrs. j. j. Hoff-
man. pretty young matron of West
End, scored a hit in Judge Broyles'
court today, and obtained mercy for
Prince, her big beloved bulldog pro-
tector, whose penchant for chewing up
cats and poodle dogs had aroused the
neighborhood OF the Hoffman home, 81
Lawton street
Mrs. Hoffman's plea for her beloved
bulldog moved Judge Broyles more
than did the ingenious argument of At
torney Eb Williams, whom she had re-
tained to defend her and Prince. She
had been arrested by Policeman Dun
ton on the complaint of her neighbors
and arraigned on the charge of keep
ing a vicious dog.
"Just because a bulldog chews up a
cat or two and poodle. there is no
evidence that it is vicious. It's the
nature of bulldog to do that" said
the attorney.
Judge Broyles laughed at him, and
said that to a bulldog chew is a chew,
whether from cat or from the person
OF d uuIhdH oeliS' IAo Aaheu W S00,
he said, that bulldog is possessed of
the quality of discrimination in the
matter of it's chewing.
Then Mrs. Hoffman began TO plead,
and told Judge Broyles what nice,
big protector Prince was, during the
lonely nights when her husband was
away on business. And so impressed
with the plea was Judge Broyles that
he dismissed the case, announcing to
Mrs Hoffman, however, that she had
the alternative of getting rid of Prince
or keeping him chained.
And because she loves Prince, Mrs.
Hoffman promised to keep him chained
hereafter, for the good of the cats and
noodles of West End.

BOULEVARD BELT
PLAN FOR RELIEF
Of TRAFFIC
William J. Davis Works Out
Method of Betting City With
100-Foot Avenues.

plan for betting the city of At
lanta with 100 foot wide north-and-
south boulevards to relieve congestion
on Peachtree and bring into promi-
nence certain valuable sections Of the
city which now lie obscured has been
formulated by William ]. Davis, vice
president of the water board and CASH
Ter Of the Atlanta Banking and Saw
ings Company, and will be formally laid
before the board of county commission
ers in the near future. The plan can
be worked out, declared Mr.. Davis to
County Commissioner s. B. Turman
this morning, with comparatively little
cost, and will mean an asset Of $1,000
900 to the city and the county.
The idea Is to work out Orme street
northward to Brookwood and connect
with Hemphill avenue and run into
PAGES Ferry road, and on the other
side Of the city start with Piedmont
avenue or Butler street, follow the
Butler street sewer swing back into
Piedmont, at point about Piedmont
park and continue northward out Pied
mont road to the neighborhood of
Buckhead and North Fulton county.
Would Eliminate Negro Settlement.
To make the Orme street improve
ment would necessitate tearing out
settlement Of negro houses just south
of North avenue, cutting an underpass
under North avenue just east of the
Tech school and underpasses under
Tenth and Fourteenth streets and the
Southern railway at Brookwood. This
hn
some at little cost, since the street al
.ady lies well. The street follows one
of the large sewer mains as far as
Tenth street, whence the sewer is to
be extended soon by the county Mr..
Davis plan calls for a parkway in the
middle Of this street over the sewer
main and the same arrangement on
the Butler street thoroughfare. Vehi-
cles will go out on the right-hand side
and come in on the opposite side.
Orme street ends at Cain street ego
ing south), from which point people
could take the intersecting streets
Barlow, Luclxie. Nassau-for upper
Marietta street, the Grant and Empire
buildings. the Piedmont hotel, the Can
dler building and other places where
they might wish to go. At any point
they could cut into Peachtree on the
east and Marietta street on the west.
Would Follow Natural Contour.
The boulevards suggested would fol-
low the natural contour of the land
and could be made into driveways such
as Boston and other large cities of the
country possess.
County Commissioner Turman was
enthusiastic over Mr.. Davis scheme.
He said:
"The county should go about getting
the necessary land for the project. Both
city and county have all the work they
can do at present, but the land can be
given now and the work done later.
There are only half dozen owners be
tween North avenue and Brookwood,
and the owners from North avenue
southwark would also he glad to give
enough to widen the street This looks
like an opportunity TO relieve traffic
congestion on Peachtree. and the com

Echoes from the Primaries.

Complaints that Republicans
participated lagely in many of the
Democratic primaries are coming
from various counties in the State.
A number of contests have been
filed in which this is alleged as one
of the chief grounds of contest.
There is no doubt that Republi-
cans did vote largely in some of
the Democratic primaries. IN
many counties Republicans and
Progressives manifested no inter-
est in their own primaries. In
some counties they held no prima-
ries at all, and in others they cast
mere handful of votes. 1t is not
improbable that in some of the
heavy Republican counties the
order of things was reversed and
that Democrats neglected their
own primaries to take a hand III
Republican contests. Instances of
this kind were less common, how
ever, among Democrats t h n
among Republicans.
The Democratic vote cast in a
number of the counties in the pri-
mary was in excess of the vote
polled by the national ticket in
the presidential election of 1912.
There are numerous reports of the
ballots having been exhausted in
precincts when the number sup
piled was supposed to have been
more than ample. 1t is we'll
known fact that instances are rare
where a local contest brings out
vote as large as that cast in
presidential elections. These facts
encourage the belief that the vot-
ing in many of the Democratic ra-
ces was not confined to Democrats.
Such a state of affairs is not
easily remedied. In fact, about
the only effective remedy lies in
system of State wide registration.
In cities where registration pre-
walls it is not possible for Repub-
licans to vote in Democratic pri-
mares or for Democrats to vote
in Republican primaries, provided
the election officers do their full
duty.

If We ONLY UNDERSTOOD.

If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain,
Would the grim eternal roughness
Seem, wonder, just the same?
Should we help where now we hinder?
Should we pity where we blame3
Ali we Judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force.
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
And we'd love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we would find it better,
Purer than we judge we should;
We should love each other better
If we only understood.

Express Companies Hard Hit.

The parcels post has given the
eXtortionate express companies a
very black eye, and now comes the
Interstate Commerce Commission
to almost put it out. 1t has issued
an order that rates shall be reduced
October 1st 16 per cent, amount
ing in the aggregate to twenty-six
million dollars annually. For years
the express companies, with pow.
erful friends in the United States
Senate, prevented the passage of
the parcels post law, but popular
demand finally secured its passage,
and the concerns that so long fat
tened off the necessities of the peo-
pie seem to be nearly done for.
With the postal rates reduced
from the first figures and the limit
increased from eleven to twenty
pounds, the parcels post will be-
come more popular than it is, and
the express companies will only be
called into service when the postal
service cannot do the work.
1t is sent out from Washington
that Postmaster General Burleson
is figuring on increasing the limit
of parcels to one hundred pounds,
and it is said that he will ultimate
~ do so. If he does, it will be
goodbye to the express companies.

when they die they will die all

their demands, paid too great a

doubt if there will be even a sigh

mise, MAY God have mercy on
