BOARD SPLIT ON
PUSHING CAMP
REFORMS
Commissioner VIM for Taking
Up Prison Recommendations at
Once-Waters in No Hurry.

The County Commissioners ap-
neared to be split on the matter of
calling a special meeting of the board
10 consider the presentment of the
Grand Jury, which constitutes a Sc
we're arraignment of that body. Com
missioners s. B. thurman and w. T.
Winn favor an early special meeting
to consider the charges, while Com
missioners Clifford Anderson and Tull
c. Waters are of the opinion that the
regular meeting of the board on the
first Wednesday in March will be
soon enough.
Mr. thurman stated that he did not
care to enter fully into the present
ment in an interview given before the
board had met
81 believe the suggestion that the
offices of county warden and super
intendent of public works is a good
idea" he said. land 1 also approve of
the recommendation that the chair
man of the County Board should be
elected by the people and paid SAL
ary that would warrant him in de-
voting all his time to the work of the
office"
For Special Meeting.
Mr. thurman also believed the board
should hold a special meeting to con-
slider the Grand Jury findings.
THE sooner the better, in a case
like this" he said. II think the Com
missioners should meet and get to
work on the matter promptly, so as
to do away with loft of useless
speculation and agitation"
Mr. Winn said he had given the
Grand Jury recommendations only a
casual reading as yet.
81 believe, however that 1t will be
necessary for us to have a meeting
at once, and consider these matters, y
he said.
The suggestion of possible indict-
ments against the board members did
not appear to worry Mr.. VIM.
1.-THE recommendations were unus-
ually strong" he said, but I do not
anticipate anything of that nature"
Investigation Impartial.
General Anderson stated that the
investigation had been an lex parte
affair"
"In my opinion. the only proper
way for the board to take up the DON
aldson matter is for it to hear evil
dence from both sides.
81 have no objection to an early
special meeting of the board" Gen.
eral Anderson went on, but 1 think
the next regular meeting will be soon
enough for the purpose. Haste is
very likely to work injustice in this
investigation, and we should move
carefully and with due consideration -
This also was the opinion of Mr..
Waters.
I'VE will have time a-plenty to con-
slider the report at the next regular
meeting" he stated. IF we are to
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-02-17

put in effect the recommendations by
the Grand Jury it will take time, and
we should be given ample opportu-
nifty to consider the question in all its
phases. I see no need to proceed in a
hurry
Mr.. Waters expressed himself as
favoring that part of the report rec
ommending that the head of the com
mission be elected by the people and
be paid enough salary to justify him
in giving all his time to the county.
Attorneys who have studied the
presentment of the inquisltorial body
profess to see in it strong sugges-
ton that unless the remedial meas
ures demanded for the convict camps
are forthcoming at once the members
of the commission may be indicted.

CHARGE AGAINST
SENATOR GORE
COLLAPSES
Assault Case Near End, With
Reaction Strong in Favor Of
Accused Blind Man.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 17.-When
Judge George Clark refused to allow
unfounded scandal and gossip to go to
the jury as evidence, the case against
Senator Thomas P. Gore collapsed
and when on cross examination the
attorneys for Mrs. Bond were unable
to break down any of the testimony of
Senator Gore, 1t was generally be-
lieved to-day that the blind Senator
would be victorious
The attorneys announced they were
through with the testimony when
court opened this morning. Rebuttal
evidence had been expected.
Judge Clark read his instructions
from the bench, after which Attorney
Geddings for the plaintiff, began the
opening argument. The case will not
get to the jury to-day.
Senator Gore is being deluged with

hundreds of telegrams from all parts
of the country. many of them from
persons he has never known, express
ing confidence in him and the belief
that the jury will quickly decide the
case in his favor and clear him of the
charges that he attempted to assault
Mrs. Bond. Many OF the messages
from Oklahoma friends tell of the
formation of Gore clubs in nearly
every city.

lates the Kansas City Star. John
Henry, who thought her some sweet
ness was almost crudely practical One
evening they were leisurely rambling
along the country road when John
Henry noticed that Maude Marie's

"You look like somnambulism, Ma

are your thoughts?"
IT was thinking OF the night, John,

LIMITED CHOICE or VIANDs
Guest Who Didn't Care for Salmon
Was in Fair Way to Have Hot
Breakfast.

In some parts of the Canadian back
country the recurrence of boiled SAL
mon, broiled salmon, salmon outlets,
and salmon steak at every meal be-
comes, after a few weeks, tribe
monotonous. To the native palate,
brought up on it, this constant reap
pearance of the selfsame dish is a
matter of course; but to the newly
arrived tourist it grows at last into a
feeble joke.
rs there nothing else for break
fast?" said one such victim of colonial
hospitality, as a whole fish and pot
of mustard were laid before him on
the table"
Nothing else!" replied the host, in
surprise. "Why, there's salmon enough
there for six, amt there?"
YES" responded the guest, mildly;
"but ] don't care for salmon"
"Well, then, fire into the mustard"
was the rejoinder.

OBJECTION PLACED ON AGE
But Young Lady's Idea Was Altogeth-
er Different From What Cor
poraI Had Feared.

What pensions, what millions and
billions in pensions, this horrible war
is going to entail" said Major Fitz-
gerald Of Boston. He added:
"And some of these pensions will
go on longer than they should, be-
cause some Of the pensioners in their
old age will marry young girls-for
an old pensioner makes q good parti,
since his pension, you know, falls on
his death to his widow.
II heard the other day about an
old Civil war pensioner who proposed
to the hired girl next door, very
pretty girl of twenty or SO. But she
refused him.
"'Perhaps,' ne stammered then.
stroking in his embarrassment his
long and snow-white beard, perhaps l
am too old
"No,' said the pretty hired girl
calmly; no, corporal, you're too
young"
