Charges by former Fulton coun-
ty convict that nothing in his native
land of Russia can compare with
the flogging in the convict camps
here were called to the attention
of Judge T. e. Patterson of the

the adjustment of whipping in con-
Wet camps and asking Mr.. Hardwick
to incorporate in his inaugural mes
sage recommendation to this eff
feet.
Petrich, formerly a convict at the

general of the army told house in
vestigating committee Monday that
he alone was responsible for the
release of Grover Cleveland Berg

awaiting sentence for conspiracy to
aid him in evading the draft.
1t was on the plea of Samuel T

titled that the prisoner was let out
The general said he had been assured
by Mr.. Ansell, attorney for Bergdoll
that the story of the hidden treasure
was true and that he would be sent
back to Fort Jay as soon as he had
climbed the hills for his gold.
Under ordinary circumstances Cen

HARDW|CK STUDIES
MEANS Of. TAXING
INVISIBLE PROPERTY
BY RALFH SMITH

A consumption tax of l cent a gall
Ion on gasoline and kerosene, and
legislation designed to increase the
states revenues from notes, mort
cages and other instruments of in
debtedness are among the methods
under consideration by Governor
elect Thomas w. Hardwick as a
means of meeting acute requirements
for additional funds for the state
treasury.
Governor elect Hardwick, Wednes-
day morning, declined to commit
himself definitely to either of the
suggestions. but frankly expressed
a sympathetic interest in the pro-
posal for a consumption tax on gaso-
line and kerosene. Concerning in
creased revenue from intangible
property, such as notes, mortgages
and other evidences of indebtedness,
the governor-elect alluded to his
campaign speeches and referred to
his legislative record in the Georgia
general assembly some twenty years
ago.
Within the past ten days or two
weeks, Governor-elect Hardwick has
given deep> thought to the question
of taxation as a means of meeting
essentially heavier demands upon
the financial resources of the state
and taking care of the huge deficit
that will confront his administration.
The subject has featured many in
formal conferences and much cOrre-
spondence between Mr.. Hardwick and
members of the legislature, who are
appreciative of the gravity of the
financial problems that must be
solved

is Arthur S. ("Art') Young, said to

MANY MARRIAGES
MAY Be AFFECTED
BY PRUTT CASE

Hundreds Of married people In
Georgia from this time forth are
going to take a more intense interest
in the case of Miss Johnny Pearl
Pruitt and her plethora of husbands
than they ever did before.
For on the outcome in the courts
of Miss Fruits matrimonial puzzle
may hinge the important question
of whether they themselves are le-
gally married or not.
The larger issue in the case arose
the third young man to whom Miss
Pruitt was married, was placed on
trial in the criminal division of the
municipal court before Judge Luther
u. Rosser, Jr., on the charge of
bigamy.
The warrant against Davidson
was sworn out by Paul G. Mains.
the young man from Miami who
eloped with Miss Pruitt on the cay
before her marriage to Davidson and
was married to her by Judge James
r. George, ordinary of DeKalb
county, in Deca tur. Previous to this
she had received a divorce from a
man she married at the age of Is.
The question of which of the two
young men is Miss Johnny Pearls
husband came to head before
Judge Rosser, when she was placed
on the stand
Who is your husband" asked Att
torney Ernest Buchanan, represent
ing Miss Pruitt
80 The girl, a slender and pretty
blonde, smiled a rather bewildered
smile, and, with a helpless gesture
OF her hands, said: ct don't known
Attorney Buchanan then proceeded
to argue in this wise
That the constitution of the state
OF Georgia delegates the right to
perform marriage ceremonies to Just
ices of the peace and ministers of
the gospel only, and does not dele
gate said authority to ordinaries;
that, therefore, the Mains-Pruitt
marriage was illegal; that Miss
Pruitt was not married at all when.
she and Davidson stood before the
preacher; and thus she became Mrs.
Davidson in due and legal form.
! Judge Rosser, however, could not
see it that way. He held that the
marriage performed by Judge George
was legal and that Miss Pruitt was
already Mrs. Mains when she be-
came, as it were, Mrs. Davidson.
Wherefore, he bound over Davidson
to the grand jury on the charge Of
bigamy and fixed his bond at $500,
which Davidson promptly made.
Attorney Buchanan told newspaper
men that he was sure OF his conten-
ton in regard to. ordinaries, that he
intended to fight the case on this
issue to the supreme court. and
that he would get a decision outlaw
ing marriages by ordinaries, even
though it effected hundreds of such
marriages performed in Georgia for
years past.

Chinese STRUGGLED
IN STEAMER TANK

MOBILE, Ala, May Am investi-
cation in the effort to fix response
bility for the presence of four China
men in the water tank of the steamer
Munisla, where they were found last
night by deputy sheriffs who were
searching in the ship for liquor, is
being made today by local immigra-
ton officials.
1t is believed that someone aboard
the vessel must have known of the
presence of the men, as deputies who
found the men declare that to enter
the water tank the men had to pass
through a section of the vessel where
several men are usually at work.
There is a federal law against the
smuggling of Chinese into the Unit
ed States. carrying a severe penalty.
A mate on a ship entering Mobile is
now serving a sentence at Atlanta
after being convicted of assisting
two Mongolians to enter this country.
