Dr.. Williams, president of the board
in opening the meeting, outlined three
possible courses that might be pur-
sued, but favored the suggestion made
that the drug addicts be sent to the
state insane asylum at Milledgeville,
the entire appropriation be turned
over to that institution and the treat
ment contemplated be handled by the
sanitarium. Dr. Williams plan was
turned down largely because it was
shown that it would not be feasible
to treat the patients at the asylum
at Milledgeville, owing to the lack of
facilities.
Collector of Internal Revenue Bla-
lock objected to the patients being
treated in Atlanta as proposed, be-
cause he thought it might hinder the
governments work and because he be-
lieved the patients would get we'll

COM N |TTEE MAN
STATE COMMITTEE NOT EN-
TIRELY HARMONIOUS-SToRY
LEAKS OUT AT WAYCRoSS.

Waycross, Ga, Feb. 2l.-According
TO the report brought back to Way
cross from Atlanta, by Mr. w. f. Sir
mans, member of the State Democratic
Execpitve Committee from the Elev-
enth Congressional District things
were not as harmonious at the At
lanta meeting last Saturday as the
Atlanta newspapers would have the
people believe.
A representative of the Journal-Her-
aid saw Mr. Sirmans for the purpose
of getting a report of the Atlanta
meeting, and the first information
handed out was, the meeting dis
closed the biggest and rottelest frame
up ever pulled off in Georgia politics"
When asked for and explained Mr.
Sirmans said, 81 had not been in At
lanta but few minutes Saturday
morning until | discovered, as did
other country members of the State
Executive Committee, that the Atlanta
crowd of old experienced politicians
had put into bag and tied up every
thing so far as Georgia is concerned
III connection with national politics."
In nutshell, according to Mr.. Sir
mans, the stunt the editor of the At
lanta Journal and the editor OF the At
lanta Constitution tried to pull of
is as follows:
For a number of years Clark How
ell, editor of the Constitution has been
member of the National Committee
from the state of Georgia, and OF
course it his desire to continue to
hold this important and high position
James r. Gray, editor of the Atlanta
Journal, also has big political am
billions, so evidently he and Editor
Howell got together, buried their old
hatchets, and agreed to be friends

they could name the entire Georgia
delegation to the national convention

teeman, and make Mr.. Gray chairman
of the Georgia delegation to the ma.
tional convention.
This did not suit Mr.. Sirmans anc
a number of other members of the
state committee, and in as much as
1t did not sound democratic to them
they decided to make a fight before
the committee on the resolution thai
would have given all this authority tc
these two men. The Joker" resolu.
ton was introduced in due time BY
Mr. West of McDuffie county and sec.
onded by Editor Howell. The reso-
luton was so worded as to make il
appear that President Wilson would
name the Georgia delegation to the
national convention, but as Mr. Sir
mans expressed it, "this was the
joker, as everyone with any sense at
all knows that President Wilson
would not have named the 28 delegates
but they would have been named by

New York, March s.--Policemen

Of a woman supposed to have been
Nellie Herman, 35 years old, who ap-
parently had been beaten to death. In
the apartment was DIR. Benjamin r.

the building, had introduced the wo-
man there two weeks ago as his wife.
The only explanation given by the
physician, who was said to have been
found pacing the floor apparently daz-
ed. was that the woman had fallen
from q chair and had been mortally
injured.
An examination of the apartment
indicated there had been a struggle.
Many bottles were strewn about the
rooms. Coroner's Physician Lel1an
said the woman had been dead from
eighteen to twenty -four hours.
DIR. Soaring was taken to Bellevue
hospital under guard, but lapsed into
Inconsistencies when the police tried

Final Arrangements for
Building Will Be Made
Fore Part Of April

The final arrangements for the con-
struction Of the proposed addition to
st. Luke's hospital will be made at
the meeting Of the board of trustees of
the institution which will be held the
first of next month.
The decision of the trustees to build
an addition to the institution came as
result of the fact that the hospital
is entirely too small to care for the
number Of people that apply to 1t for
entrance. Last month alone upward
OF fifty people were refused admission
to the institution. This fact was pre-
scented to the board by Supt. Paul A.
Vik. who also called attention to the
fact that additional rooms for patients
could be maintained without a ma
terial increase in the overhead ex-
penses.
Has Done Good Work.
st. Luke's hospital has been doing
a good work. Ever since it was built
it has been kept busy and there have
been few times when it has not been
filled. The result of this work is that
the institution is in good condition
financially, but there are not sufficient
funds to erect the $4,000 building
desired and Superintendent Vik has
agreed to raise $4,000 by popular sub
scription in Fargo to assist in building
the addition to the institution that will
materially increase the hospital facili-
ties OF the city.
