in First Place

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 14.-(Spe-

ed. During the month of October,

exceeded all previous totals for
building permits recorded during
single month, according to figures
compiled by the survey department

tionally known southern investment

Permits recorded by 1913 cities
showed a total of $75,165,71O,
against $50, 561, O56 for October,
1924, or a gain of forty per cent.
The month showed a slight loss,
amounting to one and a half per cent
from September, due principally to
seasonal slackening of construction
activity.
Florida cities were again leaders
in gains, being almost six time great
er last month than the correspond
ing month of 1924. Texas also step

REFEREE GIVES
DA WSON GAME
THERE FRIDAY
Coach Mckee Calls His Men OFF
Field When Referee Contin-
ues Unfair Decisions

With the score standing to T at
the end of the third quarter the
Americas High football team vester-
day forfeited their game with Daw-
son High, through which Dawson
was AWARDED victory by a l to 0
score, according to Coach Mckee Of
Americas.
Ihls came as the result of unjust
decisions against the local bows who
mad fought clearly and who had been
penallzed several times without cause
by the referee.
The fans from Americas renort
that 1t was the one game of the wear
when they were beaten by the ref.
cree The decisions being so unjust
That Coach Mckee finally called his
men off the field.
Coach Mckee who is known all
over the Southwest for his clean
craftsmanship, his fairness and his
desire to see the game played clean
mas issued the following statement
requesting that it be published:
Early in the second half Dawson
mad punted on fourth down and the
punt was blocked by an Americas
man, but Dawson recovered the hall
behind its line Of scrimmage, and the
referee ruled that it was Dawson's
ball, first down.
This was contrary to sec. 3. Rule
IL, Spalding's Official Football
Guide, which states When a kick
ed ball is blocked by either side or
Tor any reason does not cross the
line of scrimmage, it may be recov-
cred by either side, but If a member
of the kicking side RECEIVERS it, the
play shall count a down. the point 20
be gained remaining the same
1t is clear from the above that on
the play described, the ball should
nave gone over to Americas, since
Dawson had has four downs, and
mad not made their necessary gain.
But the referee ruled it was Daw-
sons ball, first down. It should
nave been Americas ball, first down
and the decision was clearly con.
trary to the rules.
One the play which resulted in our
FORGETTING the game EXACTLY the re-
verse had happened. 1t was fourth
down and Ansley punted. The bali
was blocked by Dawson man and
Ansley recovered, but this time the
referee insisting on interpreting the
rule correctly and ruled that it was
Dawson's ball, first down.
There was considerable dispute
concerning whether the ball was
blocked by an Americas player or a
Dawson player, the referee claiming
that the punt was blocked by an
Americas player and giving this as
his reason for his decision. AS a
matter Of fact it makes no difference
who blocked the punt. The same.
ruling should have been given in each
case.
an the first half Americas was
pehalized As yards and Dawson not
enc, yet the Dawson boys were con-
tinually holding and using other tao
tics that were unfair. 1t was evil
dent that the officials were looking
only for opportunities to penalize
Americas an dwere closing their eyes
to the violations committed by thte
Dawson men.

off, none of the lines being straight
In several places the lines varied by
straight line and they were ignored
by the boy who acted as head lines

sition of the ball without regard to
its position relative to any line"

gia squad numbering Al players ar
rived in Atlanta for their clash with
Georgia Tech at Grant Field this af-
ternoon at o'clock,
The game will be the hardest
fought game in football and will be
witnessed by more than 10000 fans
coming from all over the south. The
great interest in the game is caused
by the fact that this is the first
time in nine years that the two
strong teams have clashed.
The dope in this city was that the
game would be a toss up, with Meth
er team a decided favorite. BoBth
teams have held back their strength
forthis game, using second string
players for other games in order
that they might have their best for
today's clash.
The Georgia Tech eleven out
weighed the University of Georgia
eleven by twenty pounds and some
think that this will be the difference
lShat will carry the Tech aggregation
TVer as victors.

and Tech resulted in a victory of 81
to 0 in favor of Tech, that was Tin

Apo tetsiEGs

1t looks as though just COM
mon everyday good luck or the
hand of providence interposed in
behalf of a couple of our best
cops one night last week ard
prevented either one or both OF
them being shot to pieces,
through a case of mistaken
identity"
Whether our celebrated may
or was warned in a dream as
were the chosen of the Lord in
bible days, or whether it was
just an ordinary hunch, he is
said to have got it into his noodle
that the Macy store was to be
burglarlzed Tuesday night of
last week. So he made up his
mind (?) that such things were
already too frequent in his bail
iwick, and it was time to stop a
few of 'em.
Of course He was It," No
sense of consulting with his new
chief of police, even if he was
the legal head of the force. So
". H. Nyril, on the night il.
question, posts Curt Berry in the
store to get 'em when they come
in, and hides Tom Wilson on the
outside to nail 'em when they
come out.
Of course both officers would
naturally be expected to shoot
when they came together and
to shoot to kill. Neither knew
the other was laying for him,
and no one else in town, except
the mayor, knew anything abol't
the matter at all.
After stalling about the store
until two o'clock, Berry called ii
a day and went out on the
street. He was recognized by
his brother officer and no trag-
edy resulted. But if this had
.lot occurred, and shooting had
commenced probably one on
Doth of the men would have
been killed.
If our Mayor has not as yet
selected a satisfactory man to
act as chief of police, goodness
knows it is his own fault, he's
been working on the job off and
on for the past year. So it is
to be presumed he's got what Re
wanted. That being so, why
don't he let him attend to his
own business in his own way,
and not nib in and dictate every
time he takes a god long
breath.

News Review of
Current Events
Revenue Bill Having Easy Sail
ing in HOuse-Senate Takes
Up World Court

WITH few opponents the new rev.
enue bill offered by the ways and
means committee had easy sailing III
the house last week. The most deter
mined effort to amend it came Monday
when most of the Democrats lined up
with the Republican insurgents in an
attempt to prevent the reduction Of
income surtaXes to a maximum Of 20
per cent. They fought for maximum
Of % per cent, but the regular Repub-
lcans with the aid of few Democrats
won out. Mrs. Mary Norton, new
Democratic member from New Jersey
made her maiden speech in advocacy
of an amendment increasing the ex
emption for single persons to $1,000
and for heads of families to $4,000.
This and all other material changes
proposed were rejected Repeal of the
pLolicity provision of the 1924 rev.
enue act was approved overwhelming
ly as were all the estate tax provi-
sicns framed by the committee despite
the attacks Of Rainey Of Illinois and
Green of Florida.
Slatemakers Of the house reported
the makeup of committees, giving the
Wisconsin insurgents only minor as
sgnments and stripping them of all
their seniority rights. For instance,
Representative James A. Frear, who
was removed from the ways and
means committee last spring is placed
at the bottom Of the Indian affairs
committee. The senate was some
what kinder, for 1t gave recognition to
young Senator La Toilette as a Repub-
lican. But he, too, gets on only rel
atively unimpOrtant committees-those
on mines and mining, manufactures
and Indian affairs. He has indicated
that he will follow closely In the foot
steps Of his late father. The sena-
torial elections committee voted
against the seating Of Gerald p. Nye
as senator from North Dakota, hold
ing that Governor Sorlie was not le-
gally authorized to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Ladd.
NXZHlLE the house was busy with
w the revenue bill the senate put
in most of its time talking about pro-
hibition, foreign debt settlements and
the question of the United States ad-
herring to the World court. Senator
Edge Of New Jersey started the pro-
hibition debate with a proposal to le-
galiZe 2.75 per cent beer and was sec
onded by Bruce of Maryland, both Of
them saying lot of very nasty things
about the Volstead act. Willis of
Ohio and McKellar Of Tennessee were
the leading defenders Of the dry law.
This is a sample Of Senator Bruce's
eloquence:
"The worst result Of prohibition is
the coalition between the reputable
element of society and the most dis
reputable which has followed in It's
train Prohibition is ragged and stag
gering. contest against nature, rea
son and common sense can end In no
other way. If you care more for your
laws than for the Anti-Saloon league,
strike hands with US and bring an end
to this disgraceful situation. Much is
said Of the hurtful influences of the
old-tlme saloon, but bad as 1t was, the
sale of influence could not be COM
pared with a situation where whisky
stills and home brewing outfits are
brought into the home under the very
eyes of our children"

valley and all points east, railroads
now make rate of $173 per hundred
pounds on the types of fruit consider

Denver is the central point the existing
