boarded. A half dozen young mon and
girls who were sitting on the veranda
came trooping down the walk to meet
them. laughing. talking, making plans
for the evening.
Those plans were SO carried out that
Jasper had no opportunity for further
words with his bctrothed. Even when.
several hours later, he babe her good
night, Alice stood only few feet away,
waiting for Margaret to join her.
Shamed to have that professor hear

he rode home under the calm stars.

have people hear him talk-could she
do 1t? Could she hold fast to her own
ideals II she were Jasper's wife? In

Alright II her teaching plainly put their
father In the wrong?
For three days, she pondered those
questions. Then she did two things
she promised the school board that
she would teach another year and she
wrote note which ran:
Dear Jasper:
There has been no change in my
feelings. love you, but cannot be
happy with man who disregards the
things hold essential. Therefore,
l must take back my promise to be
your wife.

MARGARET.
Jasper made no reply to the note, no
effort to see Margaret. A month went
by. The cessation Of his visits proved
to their friends that the engagement
had been broken. He began to hear
rumors Of the many letters she was
receiving from one Of the Girton col.

rain, Jasper took her home, the story
was repeated to Margaret so many

SUFFRAGE AND TAX BILLS
ARE LAID ASIDE BY HOUSE
Refuses to Put Measures on
Calendar as Special and
Continuing Order

At the session OF the house Thursday
two important matters were disposed Of
The house declined to place the woman
suffrage bill on the calendar as a spec
ial and continuing order and refused to
equalization tax law.
This action on the part of the house
probably means that no further 1egisla-
ton relative to these two measures will
come up at the present session.
The first bill to be considered was
the woman's suffrage bill adversely re-
ported on by the constitutional amend
ment committee. The rules committee
recommended that this bill be placed
upon the calendar as a special and con-
tinuing order for the purpose of dis
agreeing with the adverse report Of the
committee.
The recommendation Of the rules com
mittee was defeated 81 to 81. which In
all probability means that the woman's
suffrage question is killed for this ses-
sion of the Georgia legislature.
A committee of the house Thursday
was appointed to draft suitable resolu-
lions expressing the loss and sorrow
of the members Of the house over the
death of the late Judge Frank Foster,
representative from Morgan county, who
was one of the most eloquent and be-
loved members Of that body. Judge
Foster died since the 1915 session. On
the memorial committee were appointed
Representatives Bale, Of Floyd; Dorsey,
of Cobb, and Burriss, Of Morgan, Judge
Fosters successor.
The fight to keep the bill repeating
the tax equalization law from being
placed on the calendar as a special or
der was a spirited one. There were
three or four votes lacking on the final
ballot necessary to make the three
fourths vote required to make any bill
a special order. The vote was 120 TO
46.
Representative Swift, of Muscogee.
created a stir in his closing speech
against placing the bill in the calendar
as a special and continuing order.
He declared on the floor of the house
that the members most persistent in
the attempt to repeal the tax equaliza-
ton law were men who had been COM
PEELED by the law to return and pay
taxes on real estate that they had never
returned nor paid taxes on before.
He intimated that Representative Tay-
lor. of Monroe, author of the bill to re-
peal the law, had been especially hard
hit by the operations % the law.
Representative Taylor made no reply
to this intimation.

William KneeIand and His

Riding from Mexico City to Vera Cruz

nurse. who arrived in Atlanta Thurs
day morning from Tampa, Fla. en- route
TO FL Paso. Tex.
The family. which has resided in
Mexico City for fifteen years. was not
allowed to carry anything except two
suitcases. All their property had to
be left behind in charge of a faithful
Mexican servant.
The trip TO Vera Cruz Is ordinarily
made in twelve hours But travelling
in a box car it took two days of the
utmost privations and danger before
they finally reached the port where u

Tampa. During the trip three Ameri-

stones which were rained on the box

Mrs. Kneeland says that a foreigner
must wear either a German, British or
French flag when he appears in the
street. If he should wear an American
OF Spanish flag he is practically sure
OF being stoned.
Mr.. Kneeland, who was a representa-
tive of the American OIL company, was
not at the Union station at the time

PART OF HUMAN BODY
FOUND IN SLAIN SHARK
Man-Eater, Known to Have
Killed Two Persons, Killed
in New Jersey Creek

NEW YORK, July ia monster
shark whose stomach contained part OF
a human body was killed at Keyport
~ J., today, according to information
received at the weather bureau here
from the observer at Long Branch n. j
The shark, weighing 800 pounds and
eleven feet long, was killed near the
mouth of Matawan creek, y. j., and is
undoubtedly the same fish which yes
terday invaded the creek and killed two
persons, the weather bureaus informant
reported.
NEW YORK, July 13.-The waters OF
the Atlantic seaboard are infested with
sharks. While hundreds Of armed men
in motor boats were patroling the New
Jersey coast today In search OF the
man-eating monsters which have now
caused the death of four bathers, the
British sloop Sir George Somers arrived
from Bermuda with a score Of sharks
the crew had caught in the gulf
stream.
The last was caught of the New
Jersey coast Tuesday. The crew said
the big fish were numerous and hum
CRY. They followed the ship and snap
ped viciously at bait They said sharks
in Bermuda waters were common
enough, but that they did not expect to
see them so far north.
Those caught were pulled with hook
and line and killed as they were hoisted
aboard.
Dread of the monsters has cirtually
cleared the middle Atlantic coast
beaches of bathers, according to reports
received here today, while many sum-
mer resort proprietors are enclosing
their bathing places with steel nets.
MATAwAN, N. j., July l3.-Hun-
dreds Of armed men in row boats and
launches were hunting today for the
man-eating shark that yesterday killed
boy and man and dangerously In
jured another youth in Matawan creek
and caused a reign of terror all along
the New Jersey coast.
It was reported this morning that
another man named Baldwin was at
tackled and killed by shark at Keyport,
n j., at the mouth of the creek.
The body of Lester Stillwell, twelve
years old, has not been recovered, and
1T is believed the shark devoured the
lad.
w Stanley Fisher, twcnty-four years
cid, who was attacked by the shark
when he tried to rescue the Stillwell
boy, died upon reaching the shore.
Joseph Ralph Dunn, ten years old,
was IN q pTeCdTlOuS COHulliOH III d new
Brunswick hospital today, where it was
said the injuries he received from the
shark might prove fatal.
The scare that has been felt along
the New Jersey shore mainly in sum-
mer resorts since the first shark raid
on bathers has virtually suspended all
beach bathing. Even at Coney Island
precautions were taken against a visit
of the shark The tragedy yesterday
was all the more startling because It
occurred in waters sixteen miles from
the ocean.
Matawan creek is tide water stream
about fifty feet wide and from eight
to fifteen deep. 1t empties into RarItan
bay. The mouth of the creek is at Key
pert.
The shark to get there from the At
lantio ocean had to round Sandy HOOK,
cross. through the lower bay into Rari-
tan bay at the southern end Of Staten
Island.
