EXPERTS CONFER
AGAIN ON BACON

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-No addi-
tional statement has been given out
concerning the condition of Senator
Bacon following the new X-ray pho
togra phs of his body made yesterday.
1t is known, however, that DR.. Fran
els D. Hagner, a celebrated kidney
specialist, was called into consultation
with DR. Morgan and DR.. Hardin, and
that they will have another confer
ence to-day to analyze the latest x
ray photographs.
on returning from a visit at the
hospital last night, John 7. Boifeuil-
let reported that the Senator's condi-
ton remained unchanged, with no
alarming symptoms. Secretary Bryan
is among those who inquire daily
and in person concerning the Sena-
tors welfare, and the President took
special occasion yesterday to ex-
press to Senator Hoke Smith his deep
regret at the continued illness of his
colleague.

Georgians generally will feel q

District
His physicians have absolutely for
hidden him to continue his Congress-
ional duties until he has completely
recovered from the severe attack cf
grip sustained during the holidays,
lest it develop into something genu-
inely serious. He has been ordered
to Colorado Springs for an indeh-

may be fastened.
Mr.. Crisp is a candidate for re-
election to the House, and he will be
renamed, of course, despite his pres
ent sickness and inability to push
his campaign. He is serving his
first term now, and has made good, -
in every sense of the word. His con-
stftuents hardly would view with
favor, in all probability, the candi-
dacy of any opponent who would UNI
dertake to undermine Crisp at this

man. He is really one of the strong
young men of the House, and bids
fair eventually to make a name en-
urely worthy of his distinguished
