ASHBURN, Ga, July 24.-Mrs.
Nora Lawrence Smith, managing

ty and Georgia. Mrs. Smith has
been always in the front in this
work. She represented Turner

Disappointed in Love,
Sparrow Makes Moose
And Attempts Suicide

DALTON, Ga, July 24.-Suffering
from mental arrangement or else
crushed under the weight Of a great
sorrow, a cock sparrow that had q
nest in a broken electric light globe
at the Presbyterian manse on Thorn
ton avenue, wrapped a string several
times around his neck and jumped
from the nest. When rescued by DR..
f. K. Sims, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church, the bird was about
gone, but it was finally revived.
The globe over the porch light had
been broken and made an ideal place
for a nest, and the sparrow and his
good wife took advantage of it. When
the nest was about completed, the
near tragedy occurred. The ques-
tion is what did he find on his return
to his nest? The supposition is that
some dashing young william had en-
tered and coaXed his wife to leave,
and broken by his disappointment,
the sparrow attempted suicide.
The string had been picked up
along with other selected items to
make the nest, and one end was firm
ly fastened when the other end was
around the birds neck.
Another theory has been advanced.
1t is that the sparrow on returning
home and finding the VILLAIN, over
powered him and then hanged him, it
being the intruder and not the owner
OF the nest that was hanged.

TEN KILLED WHEN
TRAIN HITS LOADED
TRUCK At CROSSING

OAK HARBOR, Ohio, July "a
Investigation into the cause of the
grade crossing accident here late
yesterday which took a death toll
der way here today. The ten per-
sons were killed instantly when a
New York Central passenger train
crashed into al automobile truck
loaded with children returning from
a picnic. The tragedy occurred
shortly before p. M, at the Locust
street crossing, one block from the
New York Central depot, and about
one mile from the business section
Of the town.
Four railroad tracks cross the
street at the point. A passenger
train, eastbound from Toledo, was
just pulling out from the station
when William Spangler, forty, driv-
er of the truck, halted for the train
to pass. Witnesses say that as the
last cars were crossing the street,
Spangler started the truck in mo-
ton, passing behind the eastbound
train to be struck by fast passen-
ger train going west.
The westbound passenger struck
the truck squarely in the center, and
hurled it more than 100 feet. Bodies
were thrown in every direction, some
being ground beneath the wheels
Of the flying train. Three were car
ried 800 feet on the engine pilot.
Cries of the injured and dying
mingled with the screeching brakes
as the train ground to q stop. Dozens
hurried to the aid of the injured.
Ambulances and private cars rushed
them to hospitals here and at Port
Clinton. The dead were gathered
together, identified and removed.
Reports as to the injured varied.
Several children, known to have
been on the truck and not immedi-
ately located were listed as injured.
TWenty-siX persons, according to
best accounts, were on the truck
when the crash came.
The children, il the custody of the
older people, had spent the day on
their annual picnic, and were re-
turning to Attica.
Mayor Peter J. Gulau today was
to act to have the railroad company
place safety gates at the crossing.
For many years a Waterman was
maintained at the crossing, but he
was relieved last year with the il
stallation of the electric signal sys-
tenn. The system was working, the
red light moving to and fro, wit
nesses said, when the truck started
to cross.

A few minutes after the state sen.
ate lad defeated a bill providing for
a substitution of the electric chair
for the gallows in Georgia, the
house Of representatives agreed to a
favorable report by a committee on
similar bill by a vote of Ill to 81,
and later passed the bid 115 to 40.
The house bill was introduced by
Representative Perkins, of Musco-
gee county, who had fought for two
years to abolish the moose. His bill
provided for the construction of a
death chamber at the state prison
farm in Milledgeville and for the ex-
ecItion of all condemned criminals
there.
Representative Ennis Of Baldwin
county, led the fight against the bill
on the grounds that it would stamp
Baldwin county as a death cham
Der" and be repulsive to the hun
dreds of students at the Georgia
State College for Women to have
criminals from all over Georgia
brought to Milledgeville and exc
cuted there.
Mr.. Ennis offered'a substitute to
the bill providing for the installa-
ton of the electric chairs in the
various counties for the execution
of prisoners locally just as gallows
are now erected at the various coun.
ty jails. This substitute was defeat
ed by a vote of "a to AZ.
Refuse to Reconsider Bill
BY a vote of 80 to SO the house
of representatives Tuesday morning
refused to reconsider it's action of
Wednesday in killing the measure
providing for a four-year term for
the governor and other state house
officers. The motion to reconsider
was made by Representative Stone,
of Walker county, and extensive de-
bate was precipitated.
The four-year term bill was intro
duced by Representative Langley of
Floyd county, who, after it had been
defeated Wednesday, announced that
efforts to secure reconsideration
would be made later in the session.
A second attempt by Representa-
tive Harris, of Jefferson county, to
remove from the table senate bill,
No. 8, which would provide for an
income tax for Georgia was lost,
81 to 90. The vote Wednesday
showed the name number in opposi-
ton of the proposed reconsider, ion.
Representative Harris stated he

DEATH BY HANGING UPHELD
BY SENATE VOTE; HOUSE
WOULD SUBSTITUTE CHAIR

Capital punishment was given the
Endorsement of the Georgia state
senate Thursday, when that body
overwhelming defeated a measure
abolishing the galloWs in this state.
The vote was 81 to against the
measure, the following senator's vot-
ing for the bill: Senators Davis,
Garrison, Greene, Hodges, Johnson,
Mason, Phillips, Stovall and Smith
of the Twenty-third.
Senator Stovall, author Of the
bill, spoke at length in support of
the proposal, declaring that capital
punishment does not deter criminals,
and that the only deterrent is the
certainty that punishment will fol-
low crime. He quoted governors
and prison wardens in support OF
his contention that the gallows or
the electric chair accomplishes little
in the way of preventing crime, and
gave statistics showing that So per
cent of all capital crimes are COM
mitted by persons under thirty years
Of age.
Senator King, speaking against
the bill, asserted that there are al
together too few hangings in Geor-
gia, and he advocated the death pen
atty as the only means Of dealing
Justice to murderers.
Subsequent to the defeat of the
capital punishment bill, the senate
voted down a measure by Senator
Phillips substituting the electric
chair for the gallows as means
OF execution in this state. The vote
on the hill WAS II to lS,
Following the passage of bill
to define Industrial insurance, the
senate adjourned until 10 o'clock
Friday morning, having agreed to
make a special orde: for Tuesday of
bill to change the present method
of oil and gasoline inspection.
BY a vote of 26 to 10, the senate
passed a bill increasing the salary
of the Judge of the Middle circuit OF
| the superior court from $3,250 to
$4,000 per year, after there had been
considerable discussion by senators
whose counties would be affected
by the measure.
Before the bill to abolish capital
punishment was called up, the. fol-
lowing bills were passed in the SEN
