Blue Skinned Man
Dies; Vital Organs
Found Same Color

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Fred Wal
ters, whose bright blue skin had
made him good living for many
years in sideshows, died in Bellevue
hospital from heart disease.
Physicians at the institution made
a careful examination of Walters
body, and discovered to their amaze
ment that not only his skin, but
all his organs and tissues, includ-
ing brain, heart and muscles, were
of the same brilliant color.
THE co!oring," the doctors an
nounced, was due to 'argyria,' and
chronic silver poisoning. Some 40
years ago Walters is said to have
worked in a mine in Australia. If
this report is correct, it is probable
that while in the mine Walters
breathed into his body nitrate of sil-
Yer which turned him blue"

GOVERNOR WALKER
KILLS SCHOOL BOOK
CONTRACT MEASURE

Governor Walker has vetoed the
resolution passed by the recent gen
eral assembly requiring the state
board Of education to enter into a
two-year contract for school books,
and also the bill requiring the cleo
! ton of the solicitor of the Baldwin
county court by the voters of that
county, it was announced Wednes-
day.
The governor previously had We
toed a resolution affecting the Bald
win county solicitorship, making
five measures in all that have met
with executive disapproval. The
other two bills affected the city of
Savannah.
Governor Walker stated that he
vetoed the school book resolution
because of the language in which
the measure was couched. He de-
clared that the resolution required
that the school board buy books at
the same price they are offered to
the schools of other states, although
most of the books used in the Geor-
gia schools are special Georgia edi-
tons and of no use 10 other states.
The governor pointed out that the
resolution would have given book
publishers the opportunity to go
into other states and offer Georgia
books at exorbitant prices; then de-
mand the same excessive prices in
Georgia, and under the resolution
the school board would be required
by law to make contracts with them.
The resolution was introduced by
Senator Beaucamp, of the twenty
second district.
The governor declared that the
veto of this resolution does not af-
feet the right of the state board to
tract for school books, if it SO de-
sires, although it has been the poll
cy in the past to make five-year con-
tracts.
Governor Walker stated that he
vetoed the bdlQWln equity DIll US-
cause of affidavits filed with him
showing that the required notice that
the bill would be introduced had not
been posted at the courthouse or
printed in any county newspaper He
stated that the attorney general has
ruled that a governor can not law
fully approve a bill, when his atten-
ton has been called to such an over
sight.
| There was statewide interest in the
Baldwin county bill, because of a
controversy between the governor
and Representative Howard Ennis,
of Baldwin county. Mr.. Ennis got
through both houses a resolution eX-
tending the term of the solicitor of
the Baldwin county court for two
| years, but Governor Walker vetoed
this resolution, on the grounds that
| it was an attempt to continue in of
flee an appointee of Governor Hard
| wick.
Representative Ennis made an eff
fort to override the veto of the gov
ernor on TIE floor of the house, but
failed in his attempt. He then Sc
cured the passage of another bill
providing that the solicitor be elected
by the people instead of appointed
by the governor, and it is this meas
ure the governor vetoed Tuesday.
