Dan and Helen TrammeI
Saved by Quick Work of
Father in Getting Them to
Hospital

Bitten by poisonous snakes, be-
lieved to be rattlers, while playing
in the back yard Of their home,
Dan Trammell, aged s, and his
little two-year-old sister, Helen,
children Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Trammell, of POI Hill street. were
taken to Grady hospital Thursday
morning.
Mr.. Trammell, who is an ambu-
lance driver for Grady hospital. re-
ceived a call about 800 o'clock from
his wife, saying that Dan had been
bitten on the right foot. Mr.. Tram
nell made q record rum in the am
bulance, got the little boy and rush.
ed him back for medical attention.
When he got back to the hospital
there was another call from his
wife. Helen, their little 2-year-old
baby, in the excitement following her
brothers experience had toddled
out of the house, picked up another
snake, and received its fangs in
her left hand.
Without losing second Mr..
Trammell put Dan in the hands OF
the physicians, and rushed back for
the baby. In few minutes she was
sharing the operating table with
her brother and being treated for
the venom which had swelled their
little limbs to twice their normal
size.
The speed with which their father
performed his duty may have saved
the lives of the children, but short
ly after first treatments were given
them by the doctors their condition
was still critical.
The children were taken back to
their mother later in the day. Dan
was suffering intensely from his
wound, but Helen, who Is believed
to have been bitten by smaller
snake, was recovering from the eff
fects of the poison.
Inquiry throughout the neighbor-
hood disclosed that several days
ago Mrs. M. A. Shipp, who lives
across the street, uncovered a
nest containing five rattlers, and
that six other rattlesnakes have
been killed in that vicinity during
the past week.
| Little Dan was picking flowers
| for his mother when the snake
| struck. He began to cry and ran
into the house, telling his mother
IAN old snake bit me!'
1t was only a few minutes later,
in the excitement of sending Dan
to the hospital, that little Helen
ran in the house with the same
kind Of blue puncture marks on her
| hand.
The snake which bit Helen was
killed. 1t was only O. few inches
long, but had one ominous button
on it's tail, showing that it was a
rattlesnake.
The neighborhood was being
searched Thursday for other Snakes,
| and the children in the vicinity
were warned to keep out of the
long grass and bushes. Mr.. Tram
nell and others employed a gang
of men to cut the grass, weeds
and bushes over wide area around
his home.
1t is considered remarkable that
rattlesnakes should inhabit set
tied part Of the city, and their ap.
pearance has created wide scien,
tific interest as well as widespread
fear of a virulent SNAKE Epidemic y
In another part of the city a, few
weeks ago, a nest of dozen
snakes was rooted out and the
| reptiles destroyed by boiling water

SEEKS JAIL CELL
TO BATTLE dope

Pleading that he was unable to con.
troll his desire for narcotics, q young
man presented himself at the county jail
last night and requested the sheriff to
lock him up or place him where he would
be unable to obtain the "dope' for
which he craved. Investigation by the
sheriff s office revealed the fact that
fthe victim comes Of q good family in
FL Centre. Recently his parents became
aware of his condition and had him ar
rested. On his promise to make an
effort to break the habit, he was allow
ed to go home. Convinced that he would
be unable to make a winning fight at
large, and honestly desiring to be cured,
he later decided to seek the help of the
authorities. He told the officers at the
jail that he had good position, making
5000 month, every cent of which he
was forced to spend for the deadly
"dope,' and was fast reaching the
point where even this sum would not
purchase sufficient quantity to satisfy
him.
The officers keenly sympathized with
him and did everything they could to
make him comfortable through the
night while he suffered the terrible
agony of drug craving. Arrangements
have been made to take him to Patter-
son today for treatment.

GERMAN THEATERS
SCORCH AMERICANS

BERLIN, June l0.-The German
opera poets are turning more and more
toward America for new ideas. A new
play, much applauded, is "1nn OF
Love- The main figure is an Amer
lean, hunting for liquor.
The German press and the man on tho
street seem to think that is the chief
occupation of the American these days,
when he is not scheming to rob some
more or less innocent foreigner.
Along the latter line is the new oper-
eta, called "Girls of Davos." 1t is at
the Central theater, in Berlin. The
chief character is a smart American
business man who is trying to swindle
a Swiss inventor out of his new motor
for bobsleds. The author quotes the
American millionaire, conspiring with
his engineer, as saying, you're not
much of an American if you can t cheat
this man out of his invention.

INSURGENTS REOPEN
NEWBERRY CASE

WASHINGTON, June 10.-A move
ment to reopen the Newberry case is
under way in the senate.
An insurgent group has been formed
in search for new evidence to more
closely connect Newberry with large
campaign expenditures in the Michigan
senatorial primaries of 1918.
Some new evidence, which was not
presented in the Michigan court fight
or in the senate investigation, has been
discovered, according to Senator Baker
Of Missouri.
A democratic group favors pushing
the matter. Others, including leaders
Of the movement, want to wait until
the next session of congress when they
believe the number of Newberry sup
porters may be reduced.
The movement has been greatly en-
couraged by Progressive victories in
Indiana, Pennsylvania and Iowa primar-
les.
In Iowa, Colonel Brookhart is
pledged to vote for reopening the case.

Federation Chief Accused

Smoke Screen
FIGHT ON ARCHITECTS
Battle RACES on First Day
of Organized Labor
Convention

CINCINNATI, June 10.-A spirited
attack on President Samuel Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor,
marked today's session of the Building
Trades department convention here.
w. j. Bowen, international president
of the bricklayers interrupted speech
by GOmpers with the charge that Comp
ers was ''laising a smoke screen and
putting up a bugaboo.' He told Comp
ers that "you have been imposed on
again and don t know the facts.'
Gompers had just told the convention
that negotiations to bring the carpen-
ters' union back into the department
had fallen through because the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects in Chicago
had voted to recommend that the ma
tional board Of jurisdictional awards de-
clare for the open shop. The architects
are represented on this board by +. j.
Russell, it's chairman.
81 could not ask the carpenters to
submit their case to board upon which
sat q representative of an organization
that stands for the open shop said
GOmpers.
Bowen and half dozen others leaped
to their feet, shouting that Gompers had
been misinformed. Bowen told Gompers
that the report he had of the architects
was incorrect. He said the national
body of architects took no such action,
but that Chicago chapter did.
When quiet was restored after half an
hour of wrangling, Gompers said he had
verified the published dispatch, insist
ed that it was the National Institute OF
Architects and demanded that the build
ing trades executive committee inves-
tigate.
The convention voted to wire immedi-
ately to national Officers Of the archi-
tects body to learn whether the reported
open shop declaration represented its
views.
Earlier the convention authorized all
international presidents of building
trades to intervene the Chicago labor
situation as soon as the A. F.. OF L..
convention ends June "a.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June TO-

Today Mars, the earth and the
sun are in opposition, according to
DR.. Harlan Stetson, Harvard astron-

line with each other. That's Mars,
that red star over in the east. The

for from June 18 on, the old planet
on which we scratch for a living
will nose ahead and gradually
leave Mars far behind.
On July 19 last year the two
planets were on opposite sides of
the sun, 242,12O,OOO miles apart.
Today they were 42,709,0oO miles
apart. On June 18 they will be
