Weird Story Teller
Is Held as Vagrant

A weird story of how he was
mobbed by a crowd at Auburndalo,
Fla, was told Recorder Broyles Wed
nesday by Robert A. Craig, OF New
Orleans, who gave his age as II.
Craig stated that he had barely es-
capped with his life, and fed to the
State capital where he appealed .
the Governor, who, he said, refused
to aid him.
The attention of Probation Officer
Coogler had been called to the man,
and he had been trying to get him
into the county almshouse. Recor-
der Broyles bound him over on the
charge of vagrancy.

Make Marriage Link,
Not Handcuf, Urges
Feminist Platform

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The follow
ing are some Of the planks in the
feminist platform as sawed, ham
mered and squared to-day by Crys-
tai Eastman Benedict:
Make marriage link-not hand
cuff
Educate girl for life-not for
marriage.
Discard the practice of assuming
the husbands name on marriage and
stick to your own.
Free men from dependent wives,
for they are parasites.
Free women from the indignity Of
dependence upon men.
Change mems social garments.
According to Miss Benedict, fem
inism means the preservation OF
woman's individuality. She gave a
terrific wa1Iop to alimony, declaring
that all women should be financially
independent.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-It will be
extremely difficult to procure the re-
peal of the Panama Canal tolls eX-

jority Leader Underwood told Presi-

Not only is Underwood opposed to
the repeal himself but he told the
President that most of the Demo-
Gratis who voted for the exemption last
year are inclined to stand by their
guns.
Representative Claude Kitchin, the
majority member of the Ways
and Means Committee, also saw Pres
fdent Wilson on the same subject. He
brought advice similar to Mr.. I'm

FIGURES AID
FIGHT On
BUDGET
EARLY Report on Taxes Shows
$4,000 More Available
Than Sheet Calls For.

Complete figures Of the 1914 realty
SCISSORS were obtained Wednesday,,
which show that the city has in eX-
cess of $4,000 more available for ex-
penditure than is contained in the
new budget. Wien the personally
and public service returns are in,
there will of course, be a still great
or amount available that has not
been anticipated.
These figures, secured for publica-
ton much earlier than usual, are ax-
pected to have a significant bearing
on the budget fight They will prob
ably lead to amendments to the bud
get for improvements not contem-
plated by the Finance Committee for
this year They show that the city
has tn funds, regardless of the state
ments of officials that anticipation OF
revenue had been stretched almost
to the breaking point.
Total Assessment $13o,335,575.
The total realty assessment for
1914 taxation, just completed, is $780,
3Sj SIS. That is an increase of 3d.
624117 over the assessments for 1913.
The Finance Committee in making UP
the budget anticipated that there
would be an increase from all sources
of taxation OF approximately $1,000
The new figures indicate that this
anticipation will be exceeded by $5,-
100000 to $S,000,0OO. But what the
increase in personality and public
service corporation tax will be can
not definitely be told until later In
the year The fact is obvious, though,
that the realty assessments are more
than S2,500,00O more than the Finance
Committee anticipated from all taxes,
which at the tax rate of 1.25 per cent
means that omre than 100000 is al
ready available for expenditure.
Tax Figures by Wards.
Another fact of unusual interest IS
that the realty tax figures are given
by wards. They show just how much
the property in each ward is assessed
Multiplied by the tax rate of 1.25 per
cent the result gives the actual
amount of taxes each ward pays.
Here are the assessments of each
ward and the amount of taxes each

THRONES PAY
LAST HONOR
To BACON
Thousands Line Streets as I'm
pressive Funeral Cortege
Passes.

All that is mortal of Augustus Oc-
tavius Bacon returned to his native
State Wednesday, to be little while
in the State Capitol before the red
old hills of Georgia receive the body
of their distinguished son to his eter
nal rest.
A grand and solemn welcome was
awaiting the funeral train; such an
outturning as never has been seen be-
fore in Atlanta. There was all the
pomp and panoply of state-the muf-
fed drums, the dirge- breathing bands
the military escort.
But over all was the solemn hush
of sorrow; the brooding shadow of a
great love, and a lasting regret,
Great Crowd at Station.
Half an hour before noon the plaza
of the Terminal Station was black
with a vast crowd Both sides Of
the line of march to the Capitol were
banked solidly with Georgians, wait
ing to pay a last tribute to their we'll
beloved Senator and friend. There
were faces at the. topmost windows
of the station. There were people on
the roof There. was not an inch of
space left vacant.
But there was a calm and solemn
order in it all.
When the funeral train had rolled
slowly into the station non commits
stoned officers of the Seventeenth
United States regiment bore the rose
wood case enclosing the casket to the
elecator, and accompanied it to the
plaza floor.
Flowers Cover Casket.
There the caslket, completely COW
cred by two gigantic floral wreaths,
was lifted to the shoulders of the ten
soldiers, and the slow procession took
it's way between files of cadets from
the Georgia Military Academy and
Marist College, who formed an aisle
back of which pressed the faces of
the quiet, watchful crowd.
Behind the casket, hat in hand,
walked the escort that had come
from Washington. There was Sen
man. bowed with a new grief; and
Vardaman, with his lion-like name of
hair-and Chiffon and Fletcher and
Nelson; Pomerene, Thomas and
O'Gorman; Brandagee Page and

Gardner, Anthony, Dyer and Prouty;
William Schley Howard and the. en-
tire Georgia delegation in Congress.
AS they passed, Federal Judge w.
T. Newman and the members of
Georgia's Supreme bench took their
places, and after them 100 members
of the Georgia Bar Association. Gen
eral r. K. Evans and his staff fol-
lowed, and the procession moved
slowly to the front of the Capitol
between the gray-uniformed ranks of
the cadets.
