BECK RE CARROLL WANTS
ALL GAMBLING STOPPED
ATLANTA, Ga., July 27.—The fellow
that walks up to a soda fountain with
a friend and matches the friend to see
who buys the drinks will be liable tc
pay a fine or serve a term in the
chaingang, or both, and the friend will
be equally as liable, if the legislature
of Georgia passes a bill introduced in
the house of representatives yesterday
by Mr. Beck of Carroll county.
Mr. Beck doesn't believe in gambl
ing in any form, even down to the pet
tv indulgences like matching for the
drinks, pitching “crack-a-loo,” throw
ing heads and tails, etc.
Likewise he doesn't believe in neck
ties. There is a standing reward in
the house for the person who will
catch him wearing a tie. He does con
sent to put a collar around his neck
as a compromise with convention, but
that’s his limit. He wears no man's
yoke.
Byway of proving the latter, Mr
Reck of Carroll having difficulty get
ting recognition from the speaker dur
ing his first week in the house, walk
ed down to a position in fiont of the
clerks desk in the center aisle and
commenced to expound his views in a
stentorian voice. ■ .
“I came here to be recognized, and 1
don’t propose to be shut off,” he roar- i
ed; and since that time the speaker has ■ I
been able to see him with his (the
speaker’s) eyes shut. 1
The gentleman from Carroll is a! 1
regular bear-cat on points of order.]
He sleeps with a rule book under his
pillow and calls the speaker down ]
most every day. ]

HOODOO AFTER THE I
SOLON OF MUSCOGEE
ATLANTA. Ga., July 27.—Represent
ative Herman Swift, of Muscogee coun
ty , one of the most diminutive but most
■
influential members of the house, is
trying to figure out what sort of a
hoodoo has camped on his trail.
I
A day or so ago the gentleman from
Muscogee was the target for somewhat
severe criticism in an Atlanta paper
for advocating the passage of the bill
i
to “purify” the primaries of Georgia,
which bill required all primaries to be
held under the county unit plan.
The fact was that Representative
Swift did not advocate the bill, but
opposed it; while his colleague, Repre
sentative Cecil Neill, of Muscogee coun
ty, was the author of the bill.
Then along came a Waycross pape"
and “jumped” the gentleman from Mus
cogee, Mr. Swift, for advocating the*
repeal of the tax equalization act when |
as a matter of fact he had led the fight \
against its repeal.
Mr. Swift created more discussion
with one five-minute speech against ,
the repeal of the bill thna all the bal
ance of the opponents of repeal pu‘
together.
“Some of the members of the house
who are most persistent in advocating
the repeal of the tax equalization law
are men who have been forced by the
law to pay their taxes,” l.e told the
house in the midst of the tax repeal
discussion a few days ago.
And right after the speech the Way
cross paper came along and romped on

ARRESTS SHOEMAKER
AS BOMB THROWER
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 27.
With the arrest today of Warren K..
Billings, a shoe cutter, aged twenty
two, San Francisco police authorities
assert they are confident their net will
scon close about the notorious “ring
of five'’ of whom Billings is alleged to
be a member. The so-called ring is
believed to have perpetuated the recent
bomb explosion during the prepared
ness parade in this city.
The authorities announced tiiis af
ternoon that they are still searching
for Thomas Mooney, the Industrial
Workers of the World agitator, why
has been missing since the day of the
explosion, and w’ho is accused of being
the ring leader of the anarchists. The
Industrial Workers of the World is
an organization of all classes of
j workers, which is not recognized by
■ the American Federation of Labor be
; cause of its anarchistic tendencies,
and whose tactics have frequently been
denounced by the more intelligent la
bor leaders throughout the United
Ftates.
him for trying to repeal the equaliza
tion law.
Representative Swift is net the least
bit mad or peeved either with the
newspaper in Atlanta or with the
newspaper in Waycross. In fact, he
has enjoyed the joke on himself as
much as any member of the house.
But he wonders what he has done to
hoodoo himself.
