Three Safes Cracked and Man Robbed of $108. - SITUATION SERIOUS, SAY POLICE HEADS -Plain-Clothes Men Armed With Pump Guns and Buckshot Badly Needed, Declare Jett and King. Alleged Yegg Held.. . The first fatality to result from ‘the wave of daring holdups, rob- beries and other crime that has swept over Atlanta during the past few weeks came at 8 o'clock last night, when three masked ne- gro bandits shot down Carl Rappold. 44 years old, a storekeeper whose place of business is located at the corner of Sims and Mary streets. Rappold was killed by. a bullet from: a Winchester rifle in the hands of one of the highwaymen,. who attempted to rob the store, and who did not hesitate to resort to desperate measures when the pro- prietor tried to resist them and to secure a pistol which he called to his wife to bring. According to statements of the police following the killing, they know who the. black bandit who operated the Winchester rifle 1s, and are : rrest adorn as the city can be thoroughly combed to find him. Other developments in.the crime epidemic Tuesday came in the dis- covery of the blowing of two safes in the army recruiting station in the Transportation building and another tn the Vittur Transfer and Storage company, of 330 Edgewood avenue. These bring the total of safes cracked here during the past three nights to four, the safe of the Keely company, local department store, being entered by yeggmen who secured loot amounting to ap- proximately $13,000 early Monday‘ morning. Another Holdup. Another holdup occurred Tuesday night, when A. D. Hareout, of 294 Luckie street, was robbed of $108 and some valuable jewelry by two white men who, he reported to the police, had blackened their faces to resemble negroes. The robbery _oeceurred at 9 o’clock at Bartow and Luckie streets. The seriousness of the present crime situation in Atlanta is indi- eated by the fact that it has stirred police officials to make sugges- Ations for drastic action, one of the most clear-cut. statements along this line being by Assistant Chief ef Police E. lL. Jett, who declared that “more policemen should “be provided; policemen to operate in plain clothes on all watches, espe- cially the night watch; pd@icemen “equipped with pump. guns and buckshot, determined to blot out criminal operations.” Chief Jett was of the opinion that at least 50 ad@itional policemen are - needed urgently. . Among other things, he favored increasing the motor power of the department and’ Ving policemen motors with which to cover their territory efficiently. ‘He also recommended increasing the number of call men, calling atten- tion to the fact that the four call ‘men of the evening watch. were out on duty when. the summons to the Continued on Page 6, Column 2. } as ) © expecting his arrest as : | ¥ * * * * * x r - . > “ ne 39 ee ~~ , ~ ¥) rf F: , : r - ’ . = . _ e ° * Wave Culminates in Killing Free Movies ~ But Opposed ARDMORE.

RICKENBACKER DENIES MATRIMONIAL FLIGHT + St. Augtstine, FPla., December 21. A member of a wedding party here yesterday introduced Edward Rick- enbacher, the prospective bride- as “the American ace.” The minis- ter, after the ceremony, told some friends, and ae from one end of the country to the other went the announcement that Captain Bddie Rickenbacher, the hero of the Amer- ican aViation forces, had been mar- ried. The minister and his friends real- ized the joke when Captain Rick- enbacher, in Oakland, Cal., received the report and promptly denied that he was on the Atlantic coast yes- terday or was married.

Cer- at Auditorium Sunday Concert Thinks Concert Might Have Been Used as En- tering Wedge for Open- ing Movies on Sunday. Many Opinions Express- ed. Echoes of the official threat to forcibly close the Howard theatér last Sunday if it was opened for the proposed sacred classica)] orchestra concert for the benefit of charity, are still reverberating. The truth is there was more talk about the matter in Atlanta Tues- day than at any time since the edict, was issued that no such entertain- ment would be permitted in Atlanta on Sunday. One of the interesting develop- ments yesterday was the statement given out by Atlanta labor offi- cials expressing resentment against proponents ofAhe municipal movies at the Auditorigm for claiming that they were necessary to provide rest and recreation essential! to the wel- fare of the working man. But the feature that was the out- standing topic of comment Tuesday was the contradictory attitude in which John A. Manget, prominent Atlanta citizen, found himself only two days following the Howard the- ater episode. It will be recalled that it was Mr. Manget who went to the chief of police to invoke the law against the opening of the Howard_theater last Sunday, even for a sacred con- cert, and at which no motion pic- tures were to be exhibited, buf only tw.o days later, Mr. Manget was one of the committee of three, consist- ing of himself, Mr. Victor Kalegs- haber and Juvlian Boehm, which went before council with the favor- able report of the Auditorium com- mittee on the ordinance permitting the. epening, of the Auditorium on ing free motion pictures and other entertaining attractions. This committéa had already tak- en the matter up with Mayor Key, who had informgled an évangelical ministers’ committee which had called on him to protest, that in his opinion, the kind of Sunday en- tertainment as proposed was in every way worthy and would meet with his entire approval. vans Statement, But sOme ofthe eVangelical min- isters went before council, and there on Monday, Mr. Manget was con- fronted with the result of a cam- paign of some of the ministers against his own proposed Sunday afternoon free. motion picture at- traction at the Auditorium. Council voted down Mr. Manget’s proposi- tion by an overwhelming majority and Mr. Manget himself explains the contradictory attitude in which he is placed in an exceedingly inter- esting statement which he made yesterday. Mr. Manget, caught, in his own words, between the upper and neth- er millstones, cheerfully admitted Tuesday that his own activity in preventing the’ concert for the As- sociated Charities at the Howard theater Sunday undoubtedly wreck- ed the prospects for municipal mov- ies at the Auditorium every Sunday afternoon, in ‘which cause he was the most devoted and active ad- herent. “The concert for the Associated Charities came just a week too soon for us,” said Mr. Manget. “Up to the time of the Howard theater in- cident we had the fight for the mov- ies at the Auditorium won., But the publicity attendant on the calling off of last Sunday’s affair stirred up an opposition to us that was stronger than the common-sense plea that we made to the council- men. Now municipal Sunday movies are dead: dead for a time at least. ; “The plan is a worthy one. At- larta meeds some form of innocent Sund entertainment that is not} tinged ith commercialism in any degree. And what Atlanta needs Atlanta generally gets, but for the time being we have no move that we can make to establish them.” “Wholesome” Amusements. Mr. Manget was asked to explain how he reconciled his position in fighting One innocent form of Sun- day entertainment while advocating another. “I guess I have been misunder- stood by a great many people since the Howard theater incident,” he re- plied, “but the fact is that I do not oppose any innocent and wholesome Sunday amusement. Take he Howard theater incident for ex- ample. No one knows better than | the wealth of good that is accom- plished by the Associated Charities and no one Knows better how des- oe the organization needs u nds. “I am proud of the Howard thea- tainly no city in the south can boast of so ornate and complete a place for innocent amusement. The How- ard theater orchestra, I am _ sure, lives up to all the good “eae that have been said about it. eyond any shadow of a doubt, the per- formance as proposed for last Sun- day would have been uplifting and wholesomely entertaining, just. as surely as it would have brought in a large sum of money for the needy of our city. “Mr. Troup Howard's statement that he had agreed with the great- est reluctance to open the doors of his theater even for so worthy a cause, because he would be beseiged by other organizations for similar benefits, L believe implbostly. ; “And that’s my point. he law daly. 3 More Days “fee, | | Continued ou-Page 9, Column 4, | | BILL WINS FIRS! FIGHT IN HOUSE By Overwhelming Major- ity, House Votes Right: of Way for Fordney Measure. OPEN ANTAGONISM TO BILL DEVELOPS Long-Staple Cotton Is Included in Commodi- ties to Enjoy Protective Tariff. Washington, December 21.—Ad- vocates of emergency tariff legisla- tion wen a preliminary fight in the house today’ by adopting, 206 to 76, a motion to suspend calerdar busi- ness tomorrow so as tg’ give the Fordney tariff bill right of way. Proponents of the bill and the op- position were engaged today in lin- ing up their forces preparatory to the fight when the measure is cal'- ed up for consideration in the hovse tomorrow. Open antagonism to the measure, in both the senate and house, was manifested for the first time yesterday following its report Ly the ways and means committee with the period of application ré- duced to ten months from the one- year period previously fixed. Added to the house forces oppos- ing in principle the proposed tariff protection rates on agricultural products were many representatives of urban and manufacturing . dis- tricts, who indicated they would op- pose the measure because of its fail- ure to include manuf tured ‘gom- nrodities.«°*At the “same time, “the senate democratic steering commit- tee announced it did not view the measure a8 an emergency proposal and would demand that it be con- sidered by thd finance committee in regular order when it reaches the senate. Long staple or Egyptian cotton is included in the list of commodities named_in the bill on which high im- port duties would be imposed. This item was omitted from the list giv- en out last night by Chairman Ford- ney because the committee had been unable to prepare estimates of the total revenue which would be de- rived on the basis of the 7-cent-a- pound duty imposed. Vitally Necessary. Speaking in tg house on tariff generally, Representative Long- worth, of Ohio, a republican member of the ways and means committee, said the Fordney emergency tariff measure was vitally necessary to “save from stark and utter ruin some of the most important agri- cultural interests of the country.” The Ohio member said that in framing a permaneng tariff law con- gress must consider how Europe would be able to pay the United States $14,000,000,000, “most of which is only informally secured.” American industry, he said, must be protected, and that if it should evacuate that the only way to col- lect the debt owed by Europe was to surrender to the world of the home markets of America, he would rath- er “sacrifice every dollar owed rath- er than sacrifice our industrial in- | dependence.” HOME RULE BILL WAITS ROYAL 0. K. Measure Providing Par- liaments for Ireland Only Needs Formality of King’s Signature to ~ Become Law. London, December 21.—The home rule bill as it finally emerged from parliament today ready for the royal assent, is not fundamentally differ- ent from the measure the govern- ment first presented. Months of discussion and efforts to amend in beth houses resulted in certain safe- guards being added, which its ad- herents believe will make it more acceptable to the Irish people. Its critics, however, still maintain that it will not be accepted by neath Ireland. i # The bill now provides that there shall be set up by popular elections two parliaments, one for Ulster and one for the south. Each parliament shall decide upon the method of se- lecting senates. The connecting link between them will be the Irish council of forty, twenty of each sec- tion. Each senate will select seven of its “council members, and each parliament thirteen. The changes made in the powers! of the parliaments as set forth inj: ~ the bill when it was introduced are inconsequential, Officers to Check Time of Parking In Limited Area ‘ Don’t Think “Blackhand” Is After You if Mysteri- ous Marks Are Found on . Your Car—It’s Police Keeping Parking Tab. | Policemen of Atlanta in future will carry a stick of chalk in addi- tion to their billies, theif pistols, their handcuffs, their dignity, and i; all the rest of the accustomed para- phernalia of the city constabulary. This extra burden was ordered by Chief Beavers Tuesday, following the approval of the new traffic ordinance of Mayor Kéy. His reasons are obvious. The flew law allows automobiles to be park- ed for one-half hour in the present non-parking zones between the hours of 9:30 a. m. and 4:30 p. m., and how the dickens is a policeman to know whether a car has been parked for ten minutes or ten years unless he has some method of mark- ing and timing it? Suggestion that a policeman stand by each car with a split-second stop watch from the time it was parked was promptly declared valueless, as there are a good many more cars in Atlanta than there are policemen, even including volunteers. ) Chief Beavers says the chalk plan has been tried in other cities, and it always worked like a charm. The method ts simple. When a car is parked, the policeman on the beat approaches it, draws his chalk with one hand and his watch with the other and marks on one of the rear tires 9:32 a. m.*or 1:01 p. m., or whatever time his watch may show at the particular moment of mark- ing. . When hé suspects that a car has been standing in the same place too long, or its owner is wasting too much time deciding. whether she wants pink’ taffeta or green crepe de_chine, he inspects the marking. to the extent of thirty’ minutés, he gives the. car’s custodian a copy of charges or presses the. patro] into service, according to the nature: of the offense, the character of the of- fender or the disposition of the po- liceman, Chief Beavers also interpreted the law to provide that no parking at all should be allowed before 9:30 a. m. and between 4:30 p. m. and 7 p.m. That is, according to his con- struction, if-a car is parked at 4:29 it is in violation of the law if it re- mains parked at 4:31. p The ordinance went into effect as soon as it reteived™ the mayor's Signature, and the chief of police immediately issued his*instructions. If it shows that tempus has fugiteds | GRAFTING ON COAL PROFITS CHARGED 10 U.S, OFFICIALS = Senate Committee Told That Men Used Official Information to Buy Share in Huge Profits. ONE NAME DIVULGED IN PRIVATE SESSION Railroad Men Also Ac- cused of Participation in Scheme to Divert Coal Shipments for a Price. Washington, December Charges that government officials joined in coal profiteering during the period of shortage last summer were made by George H. Cushing, managing girector of the Ameri- can Wholesale Coal association, tes- tifying under oath today before a senate investigating committee. In an executive session the commit- tee, according to Senator Calder, re- publican, New York, its chairman. was furnished by Mr. Cushing with the name of one man, said to have been a principal in an operation by which a group of men in govern- ment service obtained 450,000 tons of coal, which they sold later at a profit of $600,000. Railroad officials and one army officer also partici- pated in the profit-making, Mr. Cushing was said by Chairman Cal- der to have charged. This phase of Mr. Cushing’s tes- | timony before the committee over- shadowed the rest of hig statement, whigh.was.to the effect that -the. coal shortage last summer was due to “panic” and largely caused by statements of the interstate com- merce commission, the geological survey, the railroad administration, and the senate interstate commerce committee telling the consuming public about a coal shortage this winter. ’ 21.— : In Executive Session. J. A. D.

Urgent Charity Appeal For Xmas Opportunities sponses from Atlanta. Expressions of good will and com- mendation have come thick and fast with the checks received. One Geor- gian, C. A. Pye, of Ideal, read the sad story of the mother and five children in The Constitution several days ago and wrote his wish to con- tribute something to that, family thréughout the year. Not only does he wish to. give the mother small contribufions of money which will aid in defraying the meager ex- ‘penses, but he wants to send her ham@ and meat after “hog-killing time.” Touched By Pathos. He is jyst one of those who have been touched by the pathos in the silent plea of these saddened fami- lies; just one. of. those .who -have seen the justice of the Associated Charities’ struggle for.these good people and have resppnded. There is a great deal yet lack- ing, and unless almost $2,000 is rais- ed between now and. Christmas, three days away, the burdens which were to be lifted from these hard- worked shoulders will be heavier than it should be, and Atlanta, if she knows, will have a pain in that big heart of hers.

The temperature will rise comfortably above the frigid affair served us Monday night and Tues- day, he continued. According to the way the ometers and ographs at the weather bureau have it figured out, Wednesday should begin its brief extent— it’s one of the three shortest days in the year, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday—with the mercury at about the 45-degree line, watching the rainfall. Most of the day’s ther- mometer play will be about there, just about midfield, as it were. “So it will go during Wednesday, asserverates Mr. von’ Herrmann. Rain most of the day, then most of the night, and some time be- tween breakfast and late lunch Thursday the rain should stop. Then is when the elements begin to set themselves for Christmas, cold and clear. Things will begin to freeze up a bit, if not quite, Thursday night.

HOLLOMON. Washington, December 21.—(Spe- cial.)}—The Fordney emergency tar- iff bill will run against a snag in the senate, it seems, as the demo- crats in that body are not as gen- erally in favor of the bill as they are in the house, although a number of the minority members in the house will vote against it as nndem- ocratic in principle and as danger- ous in its design on the part of the republican leaders responsible for its origin. The measure, however, will receive general support from the Georgia members in the house and indeed from most ‘of the mem- bers of the southeast, not only be- cause of its revenue-producing op- portunities, which makes it defen- sible under a* strict interpretation of Gemocratic faith, but particular- ly because it places a high import duty, amounting practically to an embargo, on oriental peanuts and oils. The bill provides a duty of three cents a pound on peanuts or ground beans, and 26 cents a gallon on peanut, cocoanut, cotton seed and soya bean oils. These duties, if enacted, would be of enormous protection to south- ern producers, as the free importa- tion of oriental oils, raised and pro- duced with coolie labor, has been one of the most serious drawbacks Ssaeeeose ~~” be ae yp OG se > 3 ‘ va . 4 ‘ oo am Zoya m , » sai} € Here’s hoping ¢ your Christmas stockings will all (a be as good as Interwoven Socks. h — ‘ex 7 eo Poe SSeS Fine Mercerized Lisles est agricultural interests. At the same time the Fordney emergency bill is regarded as hav- ing its political angles, with pro- p tection for much that is net regard- ed as ips egy ft or in the inter- est of farming classes, but wholly of a republican party nature that might rise up to kick the democrat- ic stand when the regular tariff bill comes up in the sixty-seventh congress, There is strong probability that the bill. wil] not get through the senate, vetoed by the president. AGED MAN KILLED AND BODY DRAGGED IN SAVANNAH RIVER - Augusta, Ga., December 21.— (Speeial.)—The reddest mark in Au- gusta’s new crime wave was writ- ten some time Monday night when Thomas Jefferson Wiggins, 65, a white man, was brutally murdered and his body dragged in the shal- low river water of the Savannah riv- er near the base of the. levee. The body was not discovered until Tues- day afternoon. A trail of blood marking the ground over which his body had been dragged for nearly a hundred yards led to the gruesome discov- ery. Police dragged the body out. A pool of blood, a razor and a round steel pin weighing about a pound, told the story of how the murder was committed. Wiggins’ head had been crushed by blows from the steel pin. His throat had been slashed with the razor. The police are working on the theory of robbery. Woman Testifies She Was Witness - When Judge Shot Ceveland, Ohio, December 21.— The state scored heavily at this aft- ernoon’s session of the second de- gree murder trial of William H. McGannon, chief justice of the mu- nicipal court, charged with slaying Harold S. Kagy last May, when its chief witness, Miss May E. Neely, a nurse, for 16 years the friends of McGannon, took the witness stand and swore she saw McGannon shoot Kagy and also swore that the judge offered her $500 to “keep her mouth shut,” about the shooting and go to County Prosecutor Baskin and retract what she had told him and the grand jury regarding the case. She testified that her sister, Mrs. Louis Webb, was concealed ina closet in the room at the time and heard the offer of $500. “IT saw McGannon pull something from his pocket and simultaneously a shot rang out. Then Harold Kagy — forward,” Miss Neely testi- fied. Seven days after the shooting, she testified, she went to the judge’s Private office and told him to make public the facts, advising him to say the shot was fired accidentally, and also offered to take the blame for the shooting. ’ “Tt is too late now,” she testified McGannon replied. j Textile Workers Of Philadelphia Get Cut in Wages Philadelphia, December 21.—The wages of more than 200,000 work- ers in the textile industry of this city are to be reduced from 10 to 30 per cent in the near future, offi- ers’ associations included in the trade, said today.

A new rail and water Ffoute for = repens freight from the east to the south via Charleston, which will put freight in Atlanta the fourth morning after sailing from New. York, and the fifth morning after sailing from Bosten, will be estab- lished by the Southern railway sys- tem, in connection with the Clyde Steamship company, on January 15, according to announcement made Tuesday by Vice President R.

From Jacksonville sOlid cars will be run to Valdosta, Cordele and Macon. ATLANTA INSTITUTE IN NEED OF FUNDS The Alanta Normal and Industrial institute is jin great need of $4,500 to pay pressing and some past due bills. Principalt Stinson says if these bills are not satisfied in a short time, the school’s usefulness for negro masses will be greatly hindered. He says the work this term has been very satisfactory and the signs of future usefulness, if these bills can be paid, promise to make the aim and object of the school what he and some white friends desire it. They are accommodating’ 84 board- ers and teachers, 65 day students, and at the same time paying for property which enlarges the plant and are laying the foundation for the industrial outlook, by -.which poor boys and girls may work their way through school. He claims that much of the mfsunderstanding con- cerning negro people comes from the fact that the negro youth has a very limited opportunity to be trained along - lines which they ought to pursue, Principal Stinson thinks that if the best people -of the community and the south knew of what the school is striving to do and how well the school understands the conditions of the section, even in the most remote districts of our farming sections as wall as the al- leys and the congested city, that they would come forward and help him to do what he believes to be the. very necessarv thing in prenar- ing the negro vouth to do what they are best fitted to do. He says the school must have $776.40 to pay purchase money note on Decem- ber 27. BAPTISTS DEPLORE LACK OF MODESTY IN WOMEN’S DRESS Resolutions urging women of America to encourage more modest dress and to see that. young people are more carefully chaperoned at dances and on automobile rides, and tc discourage the use of intoxicants, were adopted at the recent meeting of the executive board of the Bap- tist omen’s Mission union of Geor- gia.~’ The resolutions pointed out that the growing laxity in sbdcial relations between the sexes indi- | cates a serious decline in standards of morality.

Washington, December 21.—Infor- mal conferences over the proposal to place a tariff of 7 cents a pound on long staple cotton, as contained in the Fordney emergency tariff bill, are being held daily among democratic members from the cot- tun-growing states. Some of them frankly state they are unable so far to make up their minds as to what they will do. They realize, they say, that the proposal will furnish probably temporary relief for the long staple cotton producers, but at the same time express fear there is a “republican trick” in the proposal. Representative Dominick, demo- crat, South Carolina, in a statement tcday, declared his intention of vot- ing against the Fordney proposal. “I refuse to sacrifice a principle for a so-called temporary relief measure in an emergency,” he stat- ed. He also said the “proposition was a trap to ensnare southern dem- ocrats so they would be tied up to the support of the high tariff which the republicans are planning to en- o- when the new congress assem- es.” “We should be more interested now in getting foreign markets for our products than in building a tar- iff wall around us,’ Mr. Dominick asserted. Southern members said there was about 600,000 bales of Egyptian cot- ton imported annually and_ they were dotbtful if the protection in- volved in the Fordney bill, even as an emergency measure, justified them jin voting for it and against the well-known principle of the party. Hard-Boiled A. B.’s Ignore Pedigree Mourning for Spot New Orleans, December 21,— “Spot,” a diminutive dog of ques- tionable ancestry, who for three years sailed the seven seas as the much idol' 1 mascot of the crew of the steamship Lake Endicott, today was given a marine funeral with all of the ceremonies incident to the occasion. The flags of the Lake Endicott was lowered and there was no mer- riment in the eyes of 13 hard- bitten able-bodied seamen as they tossed the body of Spot, properly sewed up in a canvas sack, into the Mississippi river. A burly quar- termaster cast Spot’s collar, fitted in Hong Kong, after the body. It was all in earnest, for Spot was a constant companion and had his regular bunk in the forecastle. Fire- man Johnson acted as chaplain. Spot, three years ago, was a flea- bitten New Orleans water front dog. He wandered aboard the Lake Endi- cott and was immediately adopted. Early today he fell down a hatch- way and broke his neck.

Kahn, New York banker, told the house ways and means committee today in the course of a statement in which he denounced economic aspects of the treaty of Versailles and declared for a continuation of income sur- taxes. The excess profit tax “must go,” Mr. Kahn said, adding that while (it was theoretically sound its dis- advantages outbalance its advan- | tages. | | Income Surtaxes Necessary. Continuation of the income sur- taxes, Mr. Kahn explained, was a social and economic necessity, but he warned against excessive levies on the higher incomes on the ground that they did not produce the maximum of revenue for which they were designed. He said also .| that he opposed any exemption un- der income tax provisions. “Your problem,’ Mr. Kahn con- tinued, “is to find out how to make the surtaxes economically sound. It is a question of finding how and what rates can be made to produce the maximum. But | think there is danger in excessive levies in sur- taxes and this should be guarded against.” Before Mr. Kaha was § called, Chairman Fordney stated that he and other members of the commit- tee were in favor of “‘some kind” of a sales tax as one of the means of raising the four billions of reve- nue needed annually by the gov- ernment. Overloading Consumer. “It seems a sensible tax,” said he chairman, “but we do not want x sales tax that will be multipligd and pyramided into a burden on the vonsumer. We want to avoid a law which will cause to be passed on to the consumer a levy which nets more profit to the merchant than tax to the government.” The chairman added that under some of the present taxes, mer- chants were adding much more to the price under the guise of taxes of articles than the tax levy justi- fied. He contended that this was one of the problems which con- gress must solve in revising reve- nue laws. Hardwick Speaks, Governor-elect Hardwick, of Geor- gia, representing bottlers and carbo- nated beverages, told the committee that sales tax should not burden the consumer to the extent that an ex- cess profits tax or a tariff levy | would. With respect to the tariff, Mr. Hardwick declared that that sort of a tax meant that the govern- ment would get only a tax propor- tionate in amount to the quality of fgame extent that an import duty .the executive session, recounted a | | (par commodi ticular imported, -while. the cle assessed if manu- ured in this country would pay |e tax.

Mr. Morrow was excused until tomor- row morning when the committee ' took Mr. session. Chairman Calder at the close of Cushing into executive part of Mr. Cushing’s saying that no names ould be made public by the committee un- til investigation of the charges was completed. Certain officials, it was statement, said Cushing testified, were able to sec. information as to com- mittees where shortage conditions were particularly feared and pos- sessed information as to the effect of the priority orders on the fur- nishing of coal cars. These offi- clala also were said to have ob- tained information as to coal in transit and to have been able to Obtain supPlies which*could be di- verted to more lucrative markets. The government official named by Cushing was said by the witness to have resigned some time ago. Directed Shipments. Mr. Cushing, in the open session, said that railroad officials had join- ed in the profit-making. “by di- verting shipments oing over their own rails to new destinations,” but refused to give the names except in confidence, “because my muck- raking days are over.” On the subject of the last summer, the witness said, “had released thé in human nature.” “The statements of public offi- cials of impending fuel famine this winter,” he said, “didn’t cause the | high prices, but gave the opportu- nity for them.” | Says Coal Plentiful. As to the condition today he con- tended that “anybody can buy coal almost at his own price,” and re- marked that “if the railroads hold up, and there isn’t any resump- tion of the world war, Americans ean forget they have a coal prob- MAKES FEET FEEL FINE: shortage it worst elements i Be a Stes poet SP ® or bunion, you’ your troubles. a — you walk ah | sorenens, pal the staed RED TOP | sure, safe way to foot com- | Suteite simple, easy to apply, | somforting to wear.

The fire was first discovered by ‘Mrs. Moore, who heard crackling noises while engaged in a telephone ~Onversation with a friend.

A moment later she discov- _tred the .entire upper floor to be | emmerparertenemeemseren taro io en f almost a mass of swirling smoke and flame. Fite was bursting from the sides, of the upper story as the firemen trained a stream of water into the flames mounting from the shingles and rafters of the burning residence. In spite of their best efforts, how- ever, they were able to do little more than save the lower floor. Sparks soaring high through the air ignited the -roofs of the house at 40 West Eleventh street, owned by Mrs. Amelia Hirsch, and the dwelling of S. Y. Tupper. at 52 West Eleventh street. Probably $1,000 damage was the toll of the fire from the roofs of these two houses. It is declared that only efficient and well-directed work on the part of the firemen saved all three residences from complete destruc- tion. , ra The family of Mr. Moore were Tuesday night temporarily located with Mrs. Moore’s sister, Mrs. A.

Washington, December 2i.—(Spe- cial.)}—The prospect for a federal aid read program at this session of congress ishanging in the balance, despite the urgent appeal of the of- ficials of the good roads bureau, the American Automobile association and the people generally of more than two-thirds of the states of the union, for immediate action. The republican leaders, particularly those from the east, where the necessity is not locally so acute, have apparently decided to block all proposed legislation, at least indefi- nitely, while on the contrary, the democrats are standing to a man be- hind a five-year plan, with a hun- dred million available a year, so that the good road work, already begun under a democratic administration, shall not be interrupted.

MR. MANGET’S TWO POSITIONS. The pending controversy about near-“blue law” enforcement in this city is not without its humor- ous aspects and incongruities, with all the tragedy that it holds for souls that are. cheerless and hearts that are to be sad and heavy on Christms day because of the tempest in a teapot that has been stirred up in Atlanta over the, Sunday-closing issue, and espe- cially over the suggestion that a eacred classical orchestra concert be opened to the public without charge for the benefit of the As- sociated Charities. The protest of John A. Manget— one of Atlanta’s most valuable and generous-hearted citizens, by the way—to Chief of Police Beavers was directly responsible for the order forbidding the opening of the Howard theater last Sunday for charity. Mr. Manget had no objection to the character of the proposed en- tertainment — which was to be without even a motion picture, and confined wholly to sacred and classical music—but he did objéct that the entertainment was to be given in a motion picture theater. So, at Mr. Manget’s behest, the ief stopped the performance, thus depriving thousands of people ,of Atlanta and elsewhere of an lafternoon’s enjoyment of splendid, ‘uplifting music; and the suffering proposed beneficiaries of the com- fort and cheer that would have been theirs on Christmas day and ‘in the days to follow, had they | been permitted to enjoy the free- ‘will offerings of the grateful pa- ‘trons of the free concert. | The chief was well within his ‘rights as an officer sworn to up- ‘hold the law. There is no doubt jabout that. So was Mr. Manget well within his rights, as a citizen, in protest- ‘ing against what would have been, ‘perhaps, a technical violation of jaw under a strict and rigid and cold and wholly uncharitable in- terpretation of the law. - But, while protesting against the technical desecration of the Sab- bath by the staging of a sacred and classical concert, without pictures or theatrical features of any kind, or the benefit of a cause to which e is one of Atlanta’s leading and a ost liberal contributors, Mr. _ (jManget occupied the paradoxical : position of appearing before coun- cil at the head of a committee ask- ing for permission to stage Sun- y motion picture programs in he city Auditorium—a _ building ) Which, very properly, is used for Whe staging of every sort of per- formance from grand opera down to prize fights. This good citizeh and philan- thropist objected to a public gath- ering for Charity’s sake in a pic- ture theater on Sunday, to which po admission fee was to be charged, and at which no pictures were to be exhibited, while, at the same time, he was pleading with council to permit the use of the Auditorium for free Sunday picture ~ ghows that the public might have 3 __ somewhere to go on Sunday after- ' In our opinion Mr. Manget was » . as wrong in the first instance as ~ he was right in the second. But council bowled him over, _ pevertheless, * Ultimately human nature is go- fing to assert itself and the whole 4 nical extreme Sunday ob- * gervance structure will tumble like - @ house of cards. - Men and women and children That the could not carry out the policy alone enero Sunday as a .day upon which to pay particular considera- tion to things sacred. They should attend church on Sunday; they should devote at least a part of the day to worship, and, if so inclined in their hearts, the whole of it. | But, if, after having attended di- vine services during the morning, and, perhaps, intending to go to church again in the evening, they want to devote a part of the after- noon in recreation and relaxation at a clean, wholesome, non-com- mercial entertainment, what is the harm in their doing so? To hark back to the old Puri- tanical day and decree that a live, wide-awake, red-blooded human being must spend his Sunday aft- ernoons with downcast eyes and sanctimonious countenance, hypo- critically pretending to be at heart what he is not, simply invites in- fraction of and disrespect for the law or engenders rebellion in the breasts of liberal-minded men that reacts against the very purpose for which the drastic enforcement of effete laws are invoked. GOING TOO FAR. Testifying before the Lockwood legislative committee engaged in investigation of the housing and building construction situation’ in New York, Eugene E. Grace, pres- ident of the Bethlehem Steel com- pany, reputed to be the leading manufacturer of steel for construc- tion purposes in certain fields, is quoted as having declared that his company would not sell a ton of fabricated steel to a dealer or builder who would not assure him that no union men were employed, or would be employed, in putting the steel to its uses. The Bethlehem Steel company’s purpose, so Mr. Grace told the committee, is to “support and pro- tect the open shop principle,” through an organization known as the Iron Erectors’ league. But that principle is based upon the right of the laborer to work where and for whom he pleases, and for the employer to give em- ployment to whomsoever he pleases, regardless of whether or not the would-be employee be- longs to a union. The Bethlehem company’s atti- tued, however, puts it clearly out- side the pale of the “open shop” principle, and makes it as hide- bound an adherent to the “closed shop” policy as any labor union possibly could be. As The Boston Transcript ex- presses it editorially— “This certainly looks to the or- dinary person like an infringement of the liberty of labor and of con- tract. It proposes an interference, by means of the withdrawal of the material for labor, not only with the liberty of the laborer, but with that of his employer. If it is not a combination in restraint of trade, it is hard to see what it may be. Bethlehem steel company is suggested by the fact that the principle is made to operate through the ‘Iron Erectors’ league.’ And that the restriction impinges upon constitutional right appears to be quite plain.” ciple between industry’s denying employment—the right to toil and earn a living—to a man because he happens to belong to a union, and a union that denies the right of a man to toil and earn a living simply because he does not be- lieve in trades unionism and re- fuses to affiliate with a labor or- ganization? One is as undemocartic and as intolerant as the other. Labor unions per se are within the law; the right of laboring men to band together in labor unions has been upheld so often by our courts that it is no longer a sub- ject for controversy. But there is a question as to whether or not a labor union has the right to say that a non-union laborer shall not work in a given plant or, for instance, on a given construction job; and, by the same token, the right of an employer to close his shop to a man who be- longs to a labor union and for no other reason, likewise is open to question. What the Bethlehem company is seeking to do, however, is to go even further than that, and to deny the right of employers de- pending upon it for material with which to conduct their business, to give employment to men who be- long to labor unions. Such policy cannot. be approved by liberal-minded citizens of a democracy; and certainly § the adoption of such an attitude will do little toward improving the re- lations between capital and labor. “No room in this country for the loafer,” says Charlie Schawb. That isn’t news but it’s a mighty good word to pass along. A scientist says the man of the future “will live a thousand years.” And to think he may have to pay income tax all that time!

B, | THE MUCH-ABUSED BRONCHIAI : TUBES, Father Hippokrates (visiting me in spirit) had just spoken of “con- coctions and humors” in the chest and we found tha tthe term nowa- days used is inflammation. Inflam- mation of the lining of the bron- chial tubes, which, translated to medical English, is bronchitis; or in the words of the benighted, “a cold scttled on the chest.” We are speaking of acute bronchitis; not of chronic bronchitis, in which the trouble is of indefinite duration, Hippokrates and [I feel that the bronchial tubes are far tov com- monly the target of misguided treatment when, in fact, there is nothing wrong with them. A physician, a nose and throat specialist, at that, complained of “bronchitis”. He said he had first suffered a “naso-pharyngitis” (which means a soreness or inflammation about the rear hall where the nose chambers enter the throat), and later it had descended into the deep bronchial tubes. That was his own feeling. Examination of the chest disclosd not a sign. Examination of the throat disclosed an inflamma- tion, swelling- and copious mucus Secretion abogt the adenoid body. In short, the doctor had simpie acute adenoiditis, but his cough came from far down in the chest, he felt Sure, and there was con iderable Soreness deep in the chest (from much coughing), and finally the amount of expectoration mada him think he had bronchitis. He had been taking treatment directed t»- ward the supposed bronchitis, which teaches that even a doctor who attempts to diagnose and treat his own ailment has a fool] for a patient. In childhood many a case of acute adenoiditis is mistaken for bron- chitis, with much needless anxiety for the parents. In _ chiddren a more or less chronic cough or at least a cough frequently recurriny and lightly attributed to “expos- ure,” and maltreated as bronchitis depends upon unrecognized ade- noiditis. Of course the only way can examine the region involved is by means of the throat mirror. In ieu of that simple aid adenoid inflammationand ade- noid enlargement frequently escape detection, for the popular concep- tion of a characteristic “adenoid facies” or facial expression is neither characteristic of adenoids nor present in most adenoid eases. A child with adenoids is as likely to show an “adenoid face” as an individual with lung tuberculosis is to show emaciation, or._a house afire to show a mass of charred timbers. In any case, be it acute (that Is, of short or limited duration) or chronic (indefinite duration), it is unwarrantable and unusually an er- ror to conclude that here is inflam- mation of the bronchial tubes (bron- chitis) unless the physician finds positive evidence thereof when he listens with his ear or stethoscope. Bits of New York Life BY O. O. McINTYRE : New York, December 21.—The ouija boami craze has not spent itself in Manhattan. One dealer re- ports his sales this month have sur- passed any month on record—which may indicate a lot of folks are to give ouija boards to friends for Christmas. One of the quiet type of side street cafes advertises that oulja boards are on hand for the amusement of guests. Sir Rabindranath Tagors, who. is here from India to see two of his plays produced, does not bring a particle of sympathy from the east for the west’s ouija craze. “It is no use muddling our brains about the life after death,” says the poet. “We have an instinct of continuity of life and we rightly have -no more idea than a chick in the egg has of the world outside.” The poet always closes his eyes when he speaks in public, as though he sought the diytation of an in- terior monitor. For that reason many who saw and heard him got the idea he was a believer in forms of spiritism. He told a group of reporters that eternity is the ever- lasting present. And he added: “If you make the present moment eter- nal you gain immortality.” There is a fascination about Ta- gore that intrigues the western mind. I saw him in his hotel apart- t and like others with me left h the impression of having met a truly great mind. Hig prophet- like beard and hair are perfectly matched in tone by the rare bluish gray gown he wears. The cameo perfection of his features was ac- centuated against the gary back- ground by the luminous golden cop- per of his complexin. He speaks the irreproachable English of an Ox- ford man. ; I have skidded from ouija to Ta- gore. The ouija board craze is not confined to supposedly dull minds. A New York Sunday paper tells of a prominent business man having one at his office and of actually consulting it before he goes into one of those heavy conferences, Soul culture is now being dis- pensed at restaurants along with food. One has just opened in the Roaring Forties with the an- nouncement: “This cafe is the cre- ation of dreamers, whose souls soar high into the clouds of the infinite tomorrow, built into the reality of today.” Nothing could indeed be fairer! The Japanese paint scenes of their native land on silk and china. Taki- chi Yokoyama, a chemist of the im- erial government, now in New ork, does more—he carries a bit of Oriental * adscape with him in his mame. His first name means bam- boo, his last mount inside. There is something amusing and yet tinged with sadness in the fol- lowing ad in an evening newspaper: “For Sale—Ten silver wine buck- ets, a solid gold cocktail shaker, two dozen cut glass wine glasses, one dozen highball glasses, twenty cocktail glasses. Also silver orange Squeezer. Owner is going to France.” He might have added: “Where these articles will not be needed.” At the big dog show ‘%n Boston last week, which was attended by many New York dog lovers, a short- sighted dog was equipped with spectacles. The dog’s eves wee weakened, it was said, by motor ridi There is a woman in New York? who takes her pet Pom with her to her private box at the opera and the attendants are authority for the statement that she carries along a special pair of opera glasses for the dog’s use. New York can always go Boston one better. Atkinson Asks For “A Square Deal’ From the Public Appeal for Big Reduction in Acreage In Cotton Next Year H. M. Atkinson, chairman of the board of directors of the Georgia Railway and Power company, has issued the following statement to the public. He declares that he wants the Public to “see the truth, and see both sides of the proposition”--re- ferring to the appeal for increased rates, and says that all his company asks for is a “square deal.” The statement in full is as fol- lows: “It’s strange how the public (a mass of individuals) in its dealings with public service corporations fails, even from the standpoint of its own selfish interest, to see straight, think accurately and act fairly, as when right-thinking in- dividuals deal with business :mat- ters man to man. The same spirit of give and take fair play, or in other avords, recriprocity, is all that is needed to solve public s2rvice questions on a basis fair to both the public and the company and it’s only a simple business problem. Ev- ery man will admit at the start that business must be mutually profita- ble or it will die. The public serv- ice is no exception. It is true when men organize public service cor- porations operating under franchise from state or municipal govern- ments, or both, the character of service furnished and rates paid for it are fixed not by themselves, but by the elected representatives of the people; that is in effect by the users of the service themselves. But the law imposes equally on the users of the public service just as sol- emn an obligation to pay just ade- quate rates sufficient to pay oper- ating expenses, taxes, a sum suffi- cient to replace worn out property (usually called “depreciation”’) and a just return on the fair value of the property dedicated to public use. The trouble is mainly due to the fact that the public forgets this obligation on its part, even though it is the only possible means by which the service can be preserved. “All a public service corporation need ask is that the public (indi- vidually) remembers its obligation to give the company its legal due in the shape of adequate rates. If this simple rule (free from preju- dice, politics and demagogy) is ap- | Plied with fairness and justice to the facts a proper solution is in- evitable. “Let’s find the undisputed, proven facts in Atlanta and apply this rule of plain legal right. These state- ments of fact (we prove out state- ments of fact: we have to) are to summarize as follows: “The company can not improve the service in any department with- out large amounts of money, fresh capital. “The credit of the company must be restored before it can borrow more monéy, and the only possible way to do that and put the en- terprise on its feet is for the public to support it and insist that it get just, adequate rates. “Attacks and hostility will only make a bad situation worse, further injure the company’s credit, and surely result in a complete break- down of the service. “Mass meetings can only be use- ful to support the company’s ap- Plications for increased rates an@ to see that it gets a square deal, “The public service furnished by the company is in a critical condi- tion, and two roads are open, name- ly, on the one hand the road of adequate rates, which means broaa expansion of the enterprise in all departments, and on the other hand the road of continued inadequate rates, which means a breaking down and deterioration of the service. “The public is interested mainly in the present and future Service, Recriminations and accusations about the past won't help the serv- ice, without regard to whether they are true or untrue. Talk about watered stock, past dividends, etc., is an idle waste of time, and gets us nowhere. We are discussing a practical, present business crisis, which will never be solved accord- ing to true public interest until the public honestly assumes and dis- charges its legal obligation by pay- ing the freight in the shape of just rates that pay the cost of the serv- ice, including a fair return on the vale of the property devoted to pub- lic use. The public is not doing this now, as shown by the undis- puted proof in every hearing before the railroad commission for in- creased rates since 1917. Conse- quently its hands are not clean when it complains of service. “It won't put a dog that is al- ready down on his feet to keep on kicking him, especially when the public is kicking itself; for it’s the Public’s service, it’s the public's company, and it’s the greatest and most permanent enterprise in the state, and the public can make it its greatest asset and pride if it will but seek the truth,. see both sides of the proposition and assume its just share of responsibility which simply means to do business on the square. “So, wake up, Atlanta, and put the same intelligence on this business question that you do’on your daily affairs. You can’t get anywhere by present methods. You don’t go down cellar and kick your furnace when it doesn’t give heat: you fix It. But you can’t fix it without money, and you can’t get money unless you earn it or have credit to borrow it. This is the problem, and it’s yours most of all because you have the most at stake.” | | | | Editor Constitution: The Ameri. can Cotton association is being crit- icised by certain adverse interests, and uninformed people because of its present attitude in seeking a flat reduction of 50 per cent in the cotton acreage for 1921 on every) cotton farm in the cotton-growing states. It is a well-known fact that the United States produces 65 per cent of the world’s raw cotton, and that two-thirds of the American crop must of necessity be exported each year, because not more than one- third can be consumed by the mills in this country. The cotton growers were misled by the American and foreign spin- ners who attended the world cotton confernce in New Orleans in October, 1919, and induced to plant for a fifteen-million-bale crop in 1920, upon a promised guarantee that every bale would be needed at prices covering the cost of production, plus a reasonable profit to the growers. We will accord to the spinners full sincerity at the time they advocated production of a large crop. Under conditions existing last winter and the plea of the spinners for a large crop, the American Cot- ton association did not advocate any reduction in the cotton acre- age for 1920, although its leaders realized fully that the cotton grow- ers were planting cotton exces- sively and to the neglect of food and feed crops, and that the cotton acreage for 1920 should have been decreased at least 20 per cent in the interest of a better system of diversified agriculture. The largest crop has been pro- duced since 1914, and with an esti- pene carry-over of three million ales from the crop of 1919, we are faced with a large supply of raw cotton, with extremely limited de- mand, and prices representing only about one-third the average cost of production. This is a condition, and not a theory, which must be fully apparent to every man having any close connection with the raw cot- ton industry. What hope is there for the cotton growers if, in follow- ing the already crooked pathway of an unreasoning custom and habit, they go forward in the face of these conditions and plant their usual acreage in cotton in 1921? They will simply pile disaster upon mis- fortune and go down in ultimate wreck, ruin and bankruptcy. Competition by States. The American Cotton association will carry forward a most inten- sive campaign for a flat reduction of 50 per cent in the cotton acre- age for 1921. Its campaign will be for a half crop of cotton next year. The association is already assured of the practically unanimous ap- proval and support of the growers, bankers, merchants, cotton factors and fertilizer compainies thraeugh- out the south In this campaign . To induce a friendly competitive rivalry among the various state di- visions of the American Cotton as- ociation in this campaign, President J. S. Wannamaker had authorized the presentation of a valuable tro- phy at the national convention to be held at Dallas, Texas. to the state division making the best re- ports. ; The purpose of President Wanna- makeris to stimulate, to the fullest extent, the activities of the various state divisions and county and parish associations in pressing forward to the limit the campaign for cotton acreage reduction pledges and a cor- responding increase in the acreage of food and feed crops. Success in this one paricular will do more to put the farmers on substantial ground and rehabilitate the price of cotton than al] other plans com- bined. Make no mistake about this one outstanding fact in the face a the present crucial cotton situa- on. There is but one safe thine to do at this time, and that is to hold tight and prepare to grow only a half erop for 192.. If co-operation is general success is certain.

An- drew J. Graham, of Boston, Mass., Sunday night. Rev. Mr. Graham, a member of the board of lectureship of the Mother church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston, asserted that “when man awakens 100 per cent to spiritual truth, he can no more Pass through the experience called dying than could God.” In illustration of this statement, Mr. Graham supposed five causes for death—tuberculosis, liver trou- ble. anger, drunkenness and can- cer. He asserted that if @ man were cured of tuberculosis, 20 per cent of the power of death would be destroyed, and that, if cured of tuberculosis, the man had his liver complaint effectively treated, death would then have only 60 per cent of its former power in his case. Discussing the world-wide prob- lem of unrest, Rev. Mr. Graham said that no religious teacher can con- Sistently remain silent concerning the universal social and business unrest prevailing throughout the world today. “During the last fifty years,” con- tinued Mr. Graham, “distance and time have been destroyed to such an extent by inventions and discoveries, that the people of the earth are now one family for weal or for woe. “A discordant nation in any quar- ter of the globe becomes a problem which all other nations must help to heal, or suffer inevitable conse- quences. The whole world et the present time is in just this condi- tion. The great homicidal war in which the peoples of the earth, re- cently, have been engaged, has thrown into view this illuuminating fact that the nations of the earth can no longer dwell apart as sep- arate entities. God is the one Father and all His children are in- cluded in His family. The loving recognition of this fundamental fact is the only solution for the world’s problem. “Some one people must be first in setting an unselfish example ris- ing above the greed of territory } and coin, patiently and irresistibly drawing to its own ideals the other nations of the earth. Opportunity is waiting at the door and we have good hope that the Anglo-Saxon na- tions, notwithstanding their in- ternal difficulties, will prove to be the rallying point for a disunited world-wide family. This hope is the more radiant because among this people the modern Star of Bethle- hem arose. Here Christian Scien- tists, clear in thought, patient in love and calm in endeavor, are in- fluencing and moulding the national thought. With unerring prophetic instinct Mary Baker Eady has writ- ten concerning distressing times, in these words, ‘Those who discern Christian science will hold crime in check.’ (‘Science and Healtn,'’ page 97.) Christian science thought is doing this very thing today. The learners and doers of Christian scl- ence, unlike their ancestors of the elder dispensation, when trouble comes, do not sit down by the wa- ters of Babylon and weep, nor do they hang their harps upon the trees therein. but singing and mak- ing melody in their hearts they look to the ever present Christ as they sing in the words of our leader, Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy: “‘] will listen for Thy voice, Lest my footsteps stray, — I will follow and rejoice All the rugged way. ” SECRETARY COLBY ARRIVES IN BRAZIL ON U.S.S.

American man! “Stand by your contracts.” He who stoops to violate his hon- est obligations and punctures his conscience for the sake of the dol- lar lowers the standard of the American man, the hope of the world and the man of the hour. “Dishonesty breeds crime.” Let your conscience be guide. America—the home of the free and the brave—shalt thou fall now? your without that official's knowing what That returns upon the election of M. a the attorney general should be cer- he tified to the next regular session of | — the legislature just as are gpd upon the election of governor, comp- troller general and secretary of State, was the opinion of Attorney General R. A. Denny, expressed yesterday in a letter to Secretary of State McLendon. y Since the general election, the re- turns of the attorney general's race, in which George ML Napler was elected, have been in Secretary of State S. Guyt McLendon’'s office to do with them. So several days azo he wrote Attorney General R. A. Denny a lengthy letter with the request he inform him on the cor- rect procedure to follow in hand- oy the returns concerning Mr. Na- er. Mr. McLendon’s letter in part to Attorney General Denny follows: McLendon’s Letter. “As I have shown, for 35 years the re- turns in the election for attorney general have gone to the general assembly along with the returns for election for governor, secretary of gtate, comptroller general and treasurer. The election returns for the first four is clearly prescribed by the constitu- tion, By analogy the attorney general, be- ing elected at the same time, for the same terms and in the same manner as the gov- ernor, all administrations from 1880 to 1915 treated the returns in the election of attor- ney general in the same manner as the election returns for governor. state, comptroller general were treated. “What is my official duty in the prem- ses? As a physical fact, these returns are in the office of the secretary of state, by custom rather than in obedience to law. Is there any law which requires these returns to be filed in the office of the secretary of state? Shall I, as secretary of state, simply file these returns with the gover- nor’s office, or shall I1:consolidate the re- turns and certify the result to the governor, or shall I simply deliver these returns to the general assembly in the same manner, and at the same time as thb election returns for governor, secretary of state, comptroller general and treasurer? secretary of and treasurer “As to the election of the Hon. George | was inion. re is what shall I ccnsolidated returns for at of file in this office?’ Denny‘s Reply To this lecter Attorne Denny sent his reply Tue noon and the following gives aig he pgm gg RIES igs “I can nO is. %. the returns of the election of the attorney genera] to be made to the secre- tary of state. ay after- excerpt the governor, . . tt would yy follow, im order that his election may be in the same manner, tha the returns of same shal) be treated in the same manner ag those of governor. “It is, therefore, my opinion that duty is to report these returns, toge with those of the governor and yon stitutional age as — y the custom for years past, next . ular session of the general assembly of the state of Georgtia.’’ So after all the. worry and trouble Mr, Napier’s returns have found their present home in the secretary of state’s vault, where they will remain until the next regular se8- sion of the legislature is convened. Commiscion Hearing The state railroad commission Tuesday heard the following sched- ule of cases: Complaint by B. Gilham, traffic manager of the Macon Chamber of Commerce, against the rated on sand via Southern railway from Macon to Griffin.

To take over this clean-up cam- paign, a special committee of prom- inent Atlanta people has been ap- pointed. This new committee in- cludes R. K. Rambo, J. J. Ragan, Jack Knowlton, W. Frank Daub, R. A. McGill, Julian Boehm, W. L. Me- Calley, W. W. Orr and Mrs. Beau- mont Davison. The proceeds from the Ad men’s campaign on health bonds and the women’s work with the Christmas seals will be carried forward up to the very last moment on Christmas eve. The Ad club committee, under the general direction of George Low- man, will still maintain their or- ganization until the last cent need- ed has been subscribed. In spite of the fact that the amount still remaining is large, it is confidently asserted at Anti-fu- berculosis headquarters that all the needed funds will be raised. Pres- ident Willett states that on the pba- sis of public support in the past, he is confident that the $7,000 wil! be forthcoming. CHRISTIAN INDEX MAKES CENTENNIAL ISSUE THIS MONTH Centennial Christmas numbers of The Christian Index, published in Atlanta for Baptists of Georgia, the second oldest Baptist publication in the United States, will be put in the mail today, according to statements Tuesday afternoon by Louie D. Newton, editor. In addition to the 30,000 ecppies of the issue that will be distributed in Georgia, this paper will be sent to practically every center in the United States and throughout 'Eu- rope. The Columbian Star, later The Christian Index, was founded in 1821, by the Baptist Triennial con- vention, through its board of for- eign missions, and was published in Washington, D. C., until] 1827. As the files of the paper between the years 1821 and 1827 are not avail- able, the name of the editor during this period is unknown. In 1827 the publication was trans- ferred to Philadelphia, Pa., where the paper was edited by Dr. Wil- liam T. Brantly. Not thinking that the caption, “Columbian Star,” ap- propriate for a religious publica- tion, Dr. Brantley changed the name to that of The Christian Index. For a number of years the paper was known as “The Columbian Star and The Christian Index.” In 1833 The Christian Index was removed from Philadelphia to Washington, Ga. as Dr. Brantly, Deing familiar with controversies in matter of doctrine and mission- ary activity in Georgia, thought the publication should be moved to some point In Georgia. The paper was transferred to Jesse Mercer, first president of the Georgia Baptist association, who operated the paper at great mone- tary loss from 1833 to 1840, when he made the. state convention a present of the paper, with its en- tire equipment. The publication was then transferred to Penfield. Ga, where Mercer university had been situated. It remained there until 1857, when, after having been conducted by various editors, the seat of publication was removed to Macon. Little is known of the history of the paper during the period of the civil war. In 1866, however, it was purchased by J. J. Moon, who trans- ferred the publication to Atlanta. It was shortly afterwards combined with The Southwestern Baptist, an Alabama Baptist publication, and operated for both states. Each de- partment then had an editor. After 1900 the publication had a period of marked growth. From 1901 to 1915 the editors were T. P. Bell and B. J. W. Graham, who pur- chased the paper. On January 1, 1920, it was sold to the executive committee of the Georgia Baptist convention, the present owner. ERNEST BAKER VISITS PARENTS IN ATLANTA Ernest B.

ATLANTA BANKER IS OFF TO CONFER WITH EXPORT MEN Haynes McFadden, secertary of the Georgia Bankers’ association, has gone to New Orleans to confer with officials of the Federal Inter- national Banking company, the or- ganization perfected recently to handle fanancing of cotton exports to ‘Europe.

The com- pany was incorporated recently for $7,000,000, there still being some stock left over, The committee that selected Mr. McFadden was influenced by the fire work the Atlanta man did in earlier distribution of the company’s stock, assisted by Robert E. Harvey, of Atlanta, as field agent. Mr. McFadden went to New Or- leans Monday night at the urgent solicitation of the committee of bankers at the head of the Federal International affairs.

Among the articles found and con- fiscaed were several army pistols andaleather pouchcontaining car- tridges of several different caliber. Mrs. Elizabeth Smith was brought to the solicitor’s office and question- ed at length during the day. She was accompanied by her at- torneys, Sam Hewlett and John Mc- Clelland; a child named Young Smith, and a bulldog. The outcome of the questioning was not dis- closed. Syndicate Sued. In an effort to obtain “a rebate” on the money out of which they were fleeced by the so-called gam- bling syndicate, W. R. Manning, of Dallas, Texas, and L N. Davis, of Lafayette, Ind. Tuesday file suits in equity against Floyd T. Wood- ward and Clyde Smith and others. Pending the outcome of the suits, Judge W. D. Ellis, of the superior court, appointed Clarence Bell as receiver of all personal and real property owned or in possession of the defendants. The civil suit, which was filed by Attorneys Hooper Alexander, Scott Candler and Robert P. McLarty, re- veals the manner in which Manning lost $8,700. The proceedings were filed immediately after Solicitor John A. Boykin, by ord<«-. secured from Judge John D.

Ellis, all under indictment as the result of the operations of the gang in Atlanta. — The suit sets out that most of the defendants have long criminal rec- ords, as a rule have no known dom- icile, but operate numerous swin- dling devices in ditferent parts of the country and make temporary headquarters in some city for a year or more. Quarters of Gang. It {s further alleged that the ‘conspirators forthe past two years have maintained quarters in the Flatiron building, at 45 Carnegie way, 25 West Peachtree street and 49%, Central avenue and 35% South Broad street. The suit discloses the manner of Manning’s fleecing as follows: In January, 1920, William R. Man- ning, of Dallas, was on a train com- ing from North Carolina to Atlanta. He was approached by a stranger calling himself Moore, who, in fact, was a member of the criminal con- spiracy, and who gained his confi- dence. After reachjng Atlanta the stranger introduced Yvilliam Clyde Smith as a dealer in stocks and Other securities. Manning was induced to go with them to 45 Carnegie wa~ which place, it was charged, was being operated by Woodward, Ellis ana Smith. Manning was invited to join them in “speculation” in stocks, bur he declined. “Thereupon,” the proceedings as- sert, “the conspirators bought or pretended to buy alleged General Motors stock, puttingup as a pre- tended guarantee with the house two checks of $15,000, signed by Smith in the name of Manning, but not Manning’s right name. In a little while the manager in charge— calleqd Adler—announced the ur- chase had made a profit of $82,000, actually counting some bills of large denomination. Petitioner was dazzled. Question of Liability. ‘The question of the ‘tiability of the house was raised, the point being made that there was no assurance that the checks were good. Smith and Moore promised to raise the money needed to guarantee the checks and told the petitioner that if he would raise $15,000 they would get the balance and divide the prof- its with him. “Petitioner went to Dallas and obtained $6,000 in cashier’s checks and $1,200 in cash. Failing in At- lanta to be able to cash the checks, he went to Nashville and converted them into Liberty bonds. He re- turned to Atlanta with $6,500 in Liberty bonds and the rest of his later losses in cash. “Smith and Moore pretended to raise the balance needed to guar- antee their checks and collect the winnings. The money was turnea over to Adler, who pretended to go out to count it. Meanwhile Man- ning had been givena ticket for his investment. A proposal] was made thatthey should engage in further ‘trade’ on the exchange, but Man- ning refused. “Smith then told Moore to go sell their stock and Moore went out. He returned, pretendedly in distress, and announced he had invested the whole $82,000 and lost it all. Smith and Moore pretended to become in- volved in a quarrel and fight. When separated, Smith promised to reim- burse your petitioner.” But there the transaction ended. The injunction granted by Judge W. D. Ellis restrains all of those mentioned as conspirators and Mrs. A. B. Woodward, mother of Ployd Woodward, and Mrs. Clyde Smith, the other missing leader's wife, from “disposing of or incumbering in any way” anyof the real estate of the defendants and the property in the safety deposit boxes. Macon to Organize Hospital Company Of State Militia Macon, Ga., December 21.—(Spe- cial.)—With four cd pa compa- nies already mustered and assur- ance given that Macon is to have the regimental headquarters for the First Georgia regiment, steps have been taken for the organization here of still another company—a hospi- tal detachment. Adjutant General Van Holt Nash has authorized Dr. J. M. Sigman, who served as a major during the world war, but who has since been honorably discharged from the fed- eral service, to organize the new company. There will be twenty-one enlisted men and four officers in the company. In addition to the hospital de- tachment, a motorized field hospi- tal unit is also being organized here and will be ready to be mus- tered in within a few days. The field hospital will be attached to the division made up of Georgia, Florida and Alabama troops. Opportunity To Save Men’s Emblem Rings, solid gold $7.50 to $25.50, less 33 1-3 per ct.

Resolutions indorsing the state bureau of markets; urging all farm- ers to co-operate with the organiza- tion and recommending that the war finance corporation be revived will be submitted today to the state con- vention of the Farmers’ Union in session in the house of representa- tives at the capitol, it was indicated last night by officials. Speaking at the first day’s session Tuesday, Commissioner of Agricul- ture J. J. Brown urged all farmers to pay their obligations, but advised against the selling of cotton until a fair market price is offered. “I stand for the honest payment of every honest debt by the farmers of Georgia,” said Commissioner Brown. “I do not and would not approve the repudiation of a single obligation by the farmers. My ad- vice to farmers now, as it was last fall when they began to pick their cotton, is to store it in bonded ware- houses, insure it and have it graded, use their bonded warehouse receipts as security for bank loans, and use the money to pay all or part of their pressing obligations. ‘“T believe a farmer storing his cotton in a bonded warehouse, insur- ing it and having it graded, will not find it hard to obtain a bank loan on his warehouse receipt as col- lateral. There is not any shortage of currency, and we have been re- peatedly assured that there is to be no curtailment of agricultural cred- its.” The annual address of the pres- ident, J. H. Mills, and speeches by Charles S. Barrett, president of the national organization, and other of- ficials were made during the ses- sions yesterday. Mr. Brown stated last night that he did not denounce Secretary of the Treasury David Houston in his address, as was in- terpreted by an Atlanta newspaper, but declared he only recited the rec-. ord of this official. No resolution denouncing the secretary of treas- ury will be introduced during Wed- nesday’s session, he said. MARGET TELLS WHY HE FAVORS FREE MOVIES Contineed From First Page. under which the Howard _ theater was kept closed last Sunday was enacted just because a vicious con- dition had arisen from a start that perhaps was just as innocent a8 the cause of last Sunday. “The first Sunday movie show we had in Atlanta was given for a char- ity. I believe that every cent tak- en in that day went to that char- ity. But a dangerous’ precedent was laid. Persons who were will- ing to sacrifice any cause for the sake of money took advantage of the situation. Soon practically ev- ery movie house in Atlanta was running wide open on Sunday. The performances were advertised for charity. The institutions that were supposed to be benefited got only a small percentage of the money that was taken in. The rest of the money went into the pockets of the men who operated the movie shows. Under the guise of charity the Sunday picture show had revert- ed to a strictly commercial proposi- tion. “Charity” Merely an Excuse. “T made a personal investigation of the situation on Sunday. There was a show then on Peachtree street. On the Sunday I made my investigation that show took in be- tween $65 and $75. It was supposed to have opened for a benefit. Wieel- er Mangum, then sheriff, was chair- man of the committee. He told me the next day that the picture show ‘had given him $7 as the percentage of the proceeds. “There was another show opened on Whitehall street. It advertised’ that it was showing for alocal insti- tutino. I called up the institution and the superintendent told me that it had never authorized the benefit nor had it ever received a cent from the picture house, though the name of the home had been used for several weeks. “So the ordinance was drawn and passed to prevent the recurrence of just this thing. “It’s the same identical proposi- tion again, the only difference being that the Howard theater incident, an undoubtedly worthy cause, had to suffer to keep from laying a predicate for future violations of a law we unquestionably need., “When I first saw the publicity for the entertainment, I was deter- mined that it was just as well to hajt the thing right there, when the biggest theater in Atlanta and the biggest cause wereinvolved. Then there would be no atempt by the little fellows to try to open.” Mr. Manget was reminded of the fact that the Howard theater ben- efit contemplated no showing of mo- tion pictures, that the program was purely musical. “The principle is just the same. The Howard theater is essentially a motion picture institution. The or- chestra is a side issue. and I can say right now that the Howard mo- tion picture theater would have reaped tremendous value from that Sunday entertainment if you bring NEW STYLES At Greatly Reduced Prices Bracelet Pumps t Black Satin With Dolly Heel $7.35 In Black Kid ALL AMERICA SHOE STORE 63 Whitehall St., Cor.

Mr. Howard may not have had a commerical thought in con- nectin with this benefit. I don’t mean to intimate that he had, but there is pretty keen competition in the emacs picture industry. When some rival house had seen the value of the advertising that the Howard theater had received from this benefit, it would be a pretty severe temptation to that house to put on a benefit of its own, under identically the same conditions as the Howard theater intended to do. “Since this thing has come up, Mr. Howard has taken a couple of thrusts at me and my attitude to the Associated Charities. He was published as donating the lights, heat and labor for the proposed benefit. Now, I'd like to know if Mr. Howard has sent a check to the Associated Charities for that amount, and I'm not mentioning the $10,000 worth of free advertising received though his doors didn't open.” Labor Leader Talks. A new development of the day was the expressed resentment by Walter Caraway, president of the Atlanta Federation of Trades, and Jerome Jones, representing the American Federation of Labor, to statements of proponents of the mu- nicipal movies at the Auditorium, that they were necessary to provide the rest and recreation essentia) for the welfare of the workingman. | “Our position is, ahd the position of organized labor has always been, |that the workingman should have ; such hours throughout the week as would enable him to have the same amusements and recreations as any other class of people. And the members of organized Jabor have these hours. We have opportunity to attend the movies during week days, and there is no more necessity for providing for our Sunday amusements than there is for pro- viding Sunday amusement to the owner of every mansion on Peach- tree road. “We are not opposed to Sunday amusemetns. We are not opposed to Sundya amusements of an ykind om religious grounds. We are opposed to the open Sunday moving picture show, for that would force the oper- ators to work seven days a week, which is contrary to unon princi- ples. argument advanced . by Messrs. Boehm, Kriegshaber and Manget that muncipal movies would benefit th workingman seems to us very specious. Certainly the workingman today needs no one to play nurse for him.” Williams Wants Blue Laws. Another striking phase, aeveloped during the day, was a card pub- lished by the Rev. Marvin Williams calling on the people to respond to the crusade for blue laws now being made in the north, and to extend it to Atlanta and the south, and de- claring that the effort to provide Sunday amusements in Atlanta was an attempt by northern capital to desecrate the Georgia Sabath. His card follows: Mr. Editor: Every effort is being made these days to poison the public mind with the idea that the ministers and church people are trying to put everybody in a straight-jacket and to make the tiniest naughtiness a felony. Ridicule is the fa- vorite weapon, and we are pictured as ready to limit the public to sweetened water, to curtail the children’s rights to everything more frolicsome than push-pin, and to hang everybody who bats both eyes at the same time on the Sabbath. The men- tal picture they would create in Atlanta just now is of a wild-eyed, lantern-jawed preacher, lurking just around each street corner, with only the quivering tails of his long coat sticking out to view, ready to pounce on the first man who refyses to believe as he does. Forget it, and let the fainting take heart. Even if the movies should net be put on o the Auditorium, the republic might ve, All this blue law ridicule is part of a vast epidemic raging over the whole na- tion, much of it fostered for the purpose of prying open the Sabbath, and if pos- sible diluting prohibition. Let the public be not deceived. Let the people know that we preachers know that the real issue at bottom is whether gs money can pry open Georgia's Sab- ath. We are not surprised nor dismayed by the fact that we are shrewdly put in the attitude of opposing a near-prayer meeting concert with a collection for the poor thrown in at the new theater. We believe that ———— «© =e om the great theatrical interests are preparing to drive home any wedge they can to get Georgia wide open on the Sabbath. Facts in Case. And this is not old-maidish ness. To the facts: 1. In city after city and state after state the theaters have been pried open, and instance after instance, -by the very process attempted to be started here. First concerts for charity or some popular enter- prise, then when the appetite for Sunday shows and the sentiment is built up, to press the cause for weakening the law and opening them as on other days. If the Howard theater 'crowd is for Sab- bath observance, why did they work men on their building on Sunday in order to be able to open on time? If every contractor who is working under a time forfeiture clause were permitted to do the same tbe sound of the hammer would not cease a Sunday in the year. suspicious- the Sabbath open, why did they object to the mayor announcing in his opening speech at their theater that there were not to be open theaters on Sunday in Atlanta, al- though he assured them that such a speech would do them good with the best classes of people rather than harm? One of their directors (who js doubtless sincerely mistaken) would have the public believe that they never thought of such a thing as a Sunday concert until the Asso- ciated Charities asked for it. But will the theater people deny that a certain high- class woman’s organization was offered a guarantee of a specific amount for the use of their organization’s name in connection with the Sunday concerts? If sacred music and a charity concert are all our theatrical friends are up to, let them distinctly announce to us that they will go before the council or the legislature at any time with us and oppose any ef- fort to open theaters for profit or admis- sion fees on Sunday. Then let those same owners close up on Sunday in other cities where they own theaters and are permitted to run on a week-day basis, and we preach- ers will admit our suspicions are unjust and slanderous. 2. We know that a vast tide of Sc»bath desecration is rolling southward from every part of this country, that sections of the north and west that were once Sabbatn- observing are witnessing the breaking down of the Sabbath, and house building and plowing are common sights on the Sab- hath. And we refuse to be deterred from fighting the same tendency here, even by the staging of a grandstand play for indigna- tion. And they can not queer us with the people whose sick we visit and whose sor- rows we share. Let the public recall the history of this ordinance which Chief Beavers so fearlessly enforced. Theaters were being opened in Atlanta, ostensibly for charity. on Sunday. But in most instances the expense account ate up the charity. Often the plate bearer | was stationed at the door and woe to the feelings of him or her who tried to enter without a contribution. Finally the farcical dodge so disgusted the authorities and the drafted. You could not erase that 'the memory of Atlanta, | | public that the present ordinance was from even with a the- atrical Sunday prayer meeting. ‘‘Blue laws! Blue laws!’’ Funny-Paper Drive.

Bui those who dwell among us a while discover that this is the proud boast of Georgia, that in morals we do not follow the fashions, we set them. And we can not but cherish still such a confidence in the intelligence of our people as to believe that one can find enough to talk to and about among 250,000 people, and to feed the mind in the thousands of volumes in our great library (which is open all day Saturday) to apy | along somehow from dimner time until dark on Sundays without somebody singing to them or show- ing them a picture. Yours for a good time, a happy time and a glad time from year’s end to year’s end. MARVIN WILLIAMS, Pastor Grace Methodist Church. Cowan Gives $10. One tangible result of the con- troversy was a good $10 check sent to The Constitution by the Rev. Samuel A. Cowan, who opposéd the Howard theater concert, but Who wanted to see that the Associated Charities didn’t suffer as a result. Mr.. Cowan's leter, which accom- panied the check, reads: Editor Atlanta Constitution: Accepting the challenge of your editorial of this morn- ing, 1 inelese herewith a check to be aj- plied through the Associated Charities of Atlanta. I am not ‘‘among those who were most conepicuous in the movement to stop an orderly Sunday gathering called only in the blessed name of charity,’’ but am not averse to being placed with those who heartily approve the action that forbade the opening of a place of amusement on the ‘‘Lord’s day’’ that advocates of char- ity might have it made possible for them to contribute to the Christmas fund for the needy of our city. Principle is more fun- damental than immediate necessity. In the temptation of our Lord, Satan bade Him turn the stones into bread; it seemed an immediate necessity and Jesus was hungry from the long fast. But the Lord’s reply was that man does not live by bread alone. I am of the firm conviction that the real welfare of the r will be con- served in the end by the refusal to violate the law that an immediate necessity be relieved. If we allow the Lord’s day to be commercialized, which commercializing plan is encouraged by the entering wedges of charity performances on the Lord’s day, the time is not far distant when the poor will suffer far more than they are likely to surf- fer in Atlanta this Christmas. For if one commercial institution is allowed to operate on the Lord’s day then other commercial institutions will claim the same rights, and they will be within their rights in making the claim under those conditions. When the restraints are thrown off, shops of every kind will be open, factories will be running, trades will be plied and the working man will have lost his day of rest. God will take care of His poor without allowing the beginning of that which will break down His day of rest and worship. The Lord does not mean that the poor shall be ex- ploited by a great commercial institution to get a foothold for the. future ingathering of millions of dollars that will go, not to the poor, but to the coffers of the rich. We do well to lock to the poor. The Bible distinctly tells us, ‘‘Blessed is he that con- sidereth the poor.”’ But in considering the poor we had best use the telescope and not simply the microscope. ‘‘Immediate neces- sity’? has been the specious plea that in the end has put the yoke upon the necks of the poor. The charge is being made that the churches are defeating the real irterests of the Lord’s day. Atlanta today would be as wide open as any city in con- tinental Europe if the church people had surrendered twenty-five years ago. And if the church people today will surrender their contention Atlanta will be wide open in six months. If the good citizens of Atlanta will today say, ‘‘Go on with your Sunday afternoon performances and put on as many benefit performances as you like,’’ such a tide will sweep in upon as can not be stop- ped short of wide open shows every Sun- day. Laws make little difference. All that is required for the wide open town is for people who object to keep quiet. I have accepted your challenge. Now I wish you to accept mine, which is, point out a man or woman in Atlanta who conscien- tiously opposes the opening of places of amusement on the Lord’s day who is not also the gtaunch friend of the poor and needy. Cordially and respectfully, SAMUEL A. COWAN, Pastor Inman Park Baptist Church. Card by Bishop Candler. Bishop Warren A. Candler, ofthe Southern Methodist church, sent the following communication: lauding Chief Beavers and council for re- fusing to permit Sunday movies: Editor Constitution: The action of Chief Beavers in enforcing the law against the opening of a moving picture show on Sunday is worthy of universal approval. 7 He did right because he enforced law. It is not the function of an executive of law to make or suspend statutes, and this is not a good time to censure regard for law and approve the violation of law. Moreover, the law is a good law, which oucht to be enforced. No specious plea of charity can be. justly brought for its abrogation or suspension. The idea that the people of Atlanta can not be induced to give adequate support to the good cause of the Associated Charities without moving them by a Sunday show to do so is a reflection upon the community. Atlanta is not like a kicking cow which re- quires to be ‘‘hunched’’ before she will give down her milk. Why should not one of the ‘‘movies’’ give its ample receipts from one of its weck- day exhibitions to the Associated Charities. if the owners of those establishments are 80 eager to help the poor? We read in the scriptures of a man’ who objected to Mary's religious devotion on the ground that her precious offering of love and worship should be given to the poor, but there is no record of his making any very notable gift to the poor for whom he expressed such strong sympathy. Dependent on Religion. Without a Sabbath we shall soon have no religion left, and without religion we shall bave no Associated Charities. Such benev- olent enterprises are not found in lands where Christianity is not prevalent or in communities where religién is feeble. From the dried breasts of faithless secularism the nourishing essence of the m#lk of benevo- lence trickles with a very stingy and stinted flow. To talk of Christ approving such exhi- bitions on the day of worship is nothing short of blaspheming the name of the Savior. To teach that. the church must approve such shows or fail to receive the favor of men is to propose that the church renounce the Ten Commandments in order to con- ciliate popular patronage. But when the church ‘“‘stoops to conquer,” it is already conquered. The office of the church is not to seek the favor of men, but to save the world from- sin to God. Good people will support the Associated Charities without being hired by a Sunday show to do so, but all charity will perish if the gpirit of Christ be eliminated from the community in order to make room for @ pleasure-loving and selfish worldliness to continue its sports on the Sabbath. All praise to Chief Beavers for @sing his duty! All approval be given to the city council which enacted the good and whole- some law which the faithful chief enforced. WARREN A. CANDLER.

Interest BY Created in Contests CLIFF WHEATLEY Inaugurated by The Constitution ; The first round of track athletics - in the contest inaugurated by The ' Gonstitution among the schools of the state was completed recently, and from reports coming into this . office, with only a few outlying pre- - eincts yet to report, the “going was great. Professor Joe Stewart, * bt the University of Georgia, in- . spector of state high schools, stated » yesterday that much interest had ‘ been aroused over the matter, and 7g he expected thousands of stu- ' dents to compete for the trophies in April, when the final round of this » scholastic year will be held. *.. The Constitution inaugurated the * plan of awarding medals to youth- . ful athletes who came up to certain , stipulated requirements, and some of the most prominent college foot- ’ ball track and baseball stars of the “present were winners of the coveted prizes when they were in the va- f rous grammar ard high schools o tate. * _.* The Medals, he steriing silver medals will be eee to tag winners in the high school contests, while the bronze badges will go to winners in_ the sixth and seventh grades, and to “igh school pupils weighing less than one hundred pounds. The sec- tnd round will be held on April 8 find 9, and it is expected that in ij many sections the event will be >» pulled off in conjunction with the * annual high school meets, which * were established some years ago, "and which add splendid features to * the fine spirit prevailing in the high is of Georgia. . Opis who won badges in the te- fpent trials will not be eligible to ‘gompete in the April eveats, but the athletes who fail to qualify for: .badges will be given another oppor- -tunity to obtain a trophy. The -. *& events for the high school students P'and the records that will have to 4 mad@ before a contestant can ‘possess a medal are as follows: 220- \iyard dash in 28 seconds; chinning Sithe pole nine times; running high § ump, 4 feet 2 inches.

The larger schools ill not have any advantage at all over the small ones, as the trophies will be awarded on the “per capita basis, The only stipulation is that the contestants be bona fide stu- -dents and the institution be an ac- eredited high or grammar schoovol. The awards will be made after ‘the reports of the April meeting are + & compiled, and will reach the win- | S$ ning schools in ample time for pres- ’ SG entation at the commencement ev- i orennee. “ee & 8 ‘# Ima communication received from > 4 Professor J.

Neither of the lads qualified in the broad jump for the grammar grades, but in bar chinning, young Thayer went 18 times, just 12 more than was required. Gordon ran the 100- yard dash in 14 seconds, and it must have been a wonderful sight to see his 4 feet 7 inches of frame going over territory at that rate. Young Thayer is 10 Wears old, while Gor- don Jacobs is 11. In the high school, in the fourth vear Class, three students qualified, but one was disqualified on account of scholarship standing. The win- ners were Ralph Glover and T. J. Wallis. Young Glover was a mem- ber of the splendid football team of the Americus High school the past season. In the third year class, Rob- ert Bell and Olien Perkins were the winners. There are eighteen stu- dents in this class. ,James Collins was the sole representative of the second year class, while six of the first year classmen qualified: P. C. Allen, Edwin Bell, Stephen Clark, Olin Dixon, Glen McAlister, Sam Merritt. Grammar Grades. In the grammar grades the fol- lowing will receive bronze medals: Sixth grade, Rupert Swain and Ben- jamin Hogue; seventh grade, Roy Adams, Lawrence Physioc, Olin Jones, Andrew Sampson, Robert Hooks and William Howard. | In the events for girls, consisting of all-up Indian club race, beanbag target toss and basketball throw, the following young ladies of the Americus High school qualified: First year, Misses Eva Braswell, Chloe Davenport, Lillian Denham, Alice Harrold, Martha Johnson, Lucy McMath, Marjorie Cargill, Mildred Mackey, Thelma Rowland, Franees Shiver, Eugenia Walker; second year, Misses Mary Burgin and Car- rie Lou Parker; third year, Misses Julia Allison, Minerva Allison and Janie Murray; fourth year, Misses Elizabeth Sheffield and Frances Sparks. = ss o - Birmingham Prexy After Baseball Gamblers. The activity of baseball gamblers in Birmingham has aroused the ire of President “Quack” Smith and Owner Woodward, and the clipping given below, taken from The Bir- mingham Age-Herald, is sufficient to show the trend of thought in the Magic City: “W. D. ‘Quack’ Smith, president of the club, and Rick Woodward, owner of the Birmingham franchise and vice president of the Southern league, held a little conference re- cently in which they discussed the gambling question of the Southern learzue in detail. “They arrived at the decision that drastic action must be taken imme- diately by the Dixie moguls if they expect Southern league baseball to be kept up to the high standards of the past.

Losses Are Heavy In New Orleans And Etowah Fires New Orleans, December 21.—For the second time within four days the city fire department was called upon this afternoon to fight an oi! fire when an explosion of a Faso- line pump at the National Oil works. in the heart of the industrial sec- Lion, destroyed $80,000 worth of ker osene and endangered about 100,000 galions more stored nearby, The fire originated by the blow- ing out of a packing in one of the Pumps operating in the plant, the escaping gasoline connecting with burning fuel oil used to drive the Pump. Immediately there was an explosion and for a time grave fears were entertained for the Safety of nearby property. Two employees of the company were painfully burned, but after re- ceiving first aid treatment were able to proceed to their homes una't- tended.

It has been rumored that Presi- dent. Comiskey may endeavor to stop the etme league in its ef- fort to press the gambling cases in order to have charge of the prose- cution himself. President Comiskey has placed the matter in the hands of his attorney and more than a year ago set aside $10,000 to be used in unearthing the 1919 world’s series scandal. His at- torneys, it is said, are to confer with State’s Attorney Robert Crowe to learn just what can be done to hurry up the cases now before criminal court. Comiskey believes himself to be the one who suffered most from their dishonesty, and that he should be allowed a nd in the prosecu- tion.

THE CONSTITUTION, ATLANTA, ° 7, 5 GA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1920. = CONSTITUTION’S ‘1 Si } " W-A- ED BY HUGGINS - [MG ‘Market Convalescent,’’ Is Old Timer’s Opinion BY R. L. BARNUM __ New York, December 21.—Despite the fact that 105 new low rec- number today taoilnu tmaofdi nul cmfwyp cmfwyp mfwycmfwypmfwy ords for the year were made ingthe stock market yesterday and a larger number today, the market looks weaker than it really is. was a week ago yesterday that the market had its last really sick day. Since then the price trend has been downward but to make any money the bears have had to be very nimble in picking out stocks for short sales. For weeks and weeks one old timer in Wall street has been asked by your correspondent every day the usual question: “What do you see in the market?” And until today the reply has been a slow side shake of the head followed by “no change.” Today his reply was: “The market has begun to reach the convalescent stage.” There was the usual irregular opening this morning followed by renewed scattered selling. The copper shares were decidedly weak on rumors that when the Anaconda directors meet a week from today the 4 per cent annual dividend rate will be either passed or cut in half. Similar action is expected of the Inspiration directors when they meet the last part of the month. Losses from 2 to 4 points were common in the copper shares. Oil, steel, motors and the sugar skares were also subjected to liquidation and bear selling especially in the last hour. $x Ask Report on Houston Oil. In connection with the bear selling that has been going on ever since the decline in the stock market started the day following the ‘election a notice has been sent out by the stock exchange to all mem- bers requesting a report on all transactions in Houston oil between December 14 and December 20. It is understood that the firm of Hol- lister, Lyon and Walton, that failed last week, had 9,000 shares of this stock to sell and the bears help them to sell it as low as possible. It seems foolish for the exchange to start an investigation of why a stock like Houston should have declined during the condi- tions of the past few months. That stock which sold at 170 last year and at 116% this has never paid a dividend. Today’s sensational de- clines in Vanadium and Replogle were part of the same belated liquida- tion. The stock first named which suddenly broke seven points around 1 o’clock to 29 sold early this year at 97. There never was any- thing tangible on which to advance the stock. The same is true of Replogle which suddenly collapsed today to 47% compared with the year’s high price of 93%. Replogle, Vanadium and Houston oil all belong to the class of promotion stocks having their short day in the raise of last year and this in the industrial list. Directors of the McKeesport Tin plate company, Wall street learned today, have declared a stock dividend of 233 1-3 per cent, calling for $7,000,000 to capitalize funds advanced from earnings dur- ing the past ten years for additions. : Outstanding Short List Large. There is a long list of stocks lending flat or at a premium which means that the outstanding short interest is large. The list includes Crucible, Sears Roebuck, California Packing, American Sugar, United ‘Fruit, National Biscuit, Amercan Agricultural Chemical, Pullman and General Electric. The bears in these shares will afford buying power to the market once prices start to advance. If professional traders were not allowed to sell stocks short there would be no tops when prices were advancing as they were early this year and last. Then, when the smash cagne from strained money market conditions there would be more pieces to pick up. Union Pacific issued its earnings today for November the first io be given out for that month. The statement makes good the pre- diction that smaller gross earnings were ahead. For September Union Pacific earned $21,841,000 gross: for October $22,418,000. Today’s statement shows $19,547,000 gross for November. But even so there was an increase of $3,826,000 over November of last year. Net this November amounting to $3,966,000 shows an increase of $377,000 over the same month last year and compared with $5,594,000 for this September and $6,774,000 for this October. Court Stops Jersey Dividends. Jersey Central directors met today, but could not declare the dividend because of its supreme court decision. The same thing hap- pened in Necrthern Securities. Bankers here are surprised at the sudden outburst of selling in the United States government war bonds which has mounted up to $20,- 600,006 a day..with-daily declines in the Liberty and Victory issues ranging from 1 point to 1% points or more. At this time last year there was heavy sola an.. tese bonds many holders who subgcribed at 100 taking losses of from 6 to 8 points for tax purposes while-others sold to raise money to protects their commitments in the rapidly de- clining stock market. For the week ending December 20 last year sales in United States government war bonds mounted up to $121,- 000,000 with the turn-over for the following week of $11,000,000. But as many of last year’s sellers did not purchase it was be- lieved that this flood of year-end liquidation in the Liberty and Vic- tory issues by the big outside public was over. From what could be ‘earned here today in banking circles, however, the heavy selling now going on in Liberty and Victory bonds is by the public, largely in the west to raise needed funds. In this connection it was pointed out that for the past fortnight money in the west even on the short term loans has been very tight. It was alsu stated that banks, bond houses and brokers representing this purt of the country were not doing any of the selling. 7 Some selling in tHe government bonds has been due to fright by timid hclders ever the action taken by the house and the senate in voting ‘o revive the war finance corporation. with its power to sell $3,000,000,000 debentures. Our conservative bankers, however, do not think that this measure to revive inflation will ever be signed. Sec- retary of the Treasury Houston has already gone on record with the statement that the government did not have any funds to advance for this purpose, and that the sale of new securities by the government to place the war finance corporation in funds would seriously disturb the market for the outstanding government bonds. Hence it is believed here that President Wilson would veto any measure passed by congress to revive the war finance corporation. Our conservative bankers are in favor of letting liqidation in all direc- tions take its natural course and the sooner the better. Believe This or Not, aa Sunday afternoon. Resident of Dublin He was nearing a bridge at what Says It Is True Here it is known as Mt. Zion church, when he saw a car coming toward the bridge from the opposite direction, a Ford coupe, fairly scorching the road. The PDublin man stopped and waited for the scorchers to pass by. Just as the Ford, however, reached the bridge, it swerved, went into the low creek bottom underneath, turned ween erie sé over, with: all four wheels sticking helplessly up in the air. . He was further astounded to see three men scramble from the car in a few seconds, get their breath, and discover that none were injured. The Dublin man advanced, asked one of the men, who happened to be the driver, how he came to miss the bridge. The man replied easily: “You see, there were two bridges across this creek, side by side, when I came down the hill, and I didn't know exactly which to take, as both look- ed alike. It looks now as if I made error and took the wrong bridge.” Monday the Ford was still lying bottom up, to prove at least a por- tion of the Dublin man’s story. Dublin, Ga., December 21.—(Spe- clal.)j—A traveler on the road be- tween Dublin and Cadwell, a small town in this county, has brought a rather interesting '“‘tale of two bridges” to Dublin. that happened IMMEDIATE DELIVERY Cone M.

Westinghouse Electric IN STOCK MARKET New York, December 21.—The stock market was swept by anoth- er tempestuous wave of liquidation today, many former favorites re- cording lowest prices in several years on transactions approximate- ing 1,675,000 shares. Losses were most severe in the independent Steels and coppers, and in shares comprising the motor division and its subsidiaries. High grade rails and industrials did not become in- volved until the final hour, when selling assumed most impressive proportions. The reversals were attended by board room gossip and many rumors which made vague allusions to the depleted fortunes of various pro- fessional interests who found them- selves unable to meet the demands of their brokers for additional mar- gins. Aside from the better tone of for- eign exchange, particularly the British rate and the relative steadi- hess of the money market, call loans again dropped to 6 per cent, much of the day’s news and attend- ant developments were of a char- acter to accelerate the setback. Replogle Steel was the overshad- owing feature, sustaining an ex- treme loss of 22 points. Vanadium, which is supposed to have close af- filiations with Replogle, fell 7 points and losses in the metals, mo- tors and kindred issues ranged from 2 to 5 points, the reaction continu- ing to the feverish end.

Prices closed nervous at 2 to 3%c net lower, With March $1.62% to $1.62%, and May $1:58 to $1.58%. Corn gain- ed % to 1%%c; oats finished un- changed to %c higher, and provi- Sions unchanged to an advance of 30 cents. 5 Bearish sentiment regarding wheat became especially pronounced in the late dealings, although even at the outset it was apparent that buyers.were uneasy over the down- ward swing of stocks. At first, however, there Was no evidence of urgent selling of wheat and the ,|Market turned up-grade temporari- ly, owing more or less to strength of corn. Then the influence of weakness in stocks and in cotton as well proved more of a weight than could be withstood and the wheat market underwent a quick tumble. A timely snow fell which will protect winter wheat counted 00%, [somewhat as a factor in weakening _ | values. It was said that on the decline 600,000 bushels of wheat were taken for Europe. Assertions that export business in corn was in progress had much to do with the strength of that cereal. Ex- ; i}port bids were said to be on a full | working basis by way of the Gulf of | Mexico.

The market opened steady at an advance of 3 points on October, but generally unchanged to 15 points lower, near months being influenc- ed by relative easy cables and the circulation of two or three Decem- ber notices. The initial offerings seemed t@ be well taken. There was commissfn house buying of July as it approached the 15-cent level, while there was renewed covering by January shorts. There was also a scattering demand for the spring months, which was probably en- couraged by the further progress of the legislation to establish the war finance corporation and the absence of any important selling pressure from the south. January worked up to 15.06 and May to 15.12, mak- ing net advances of about 13 to 25 points on active positions, but the demand then tapered off and the market turned weak during the ear- ly afternoon under spot house sell- ing and liquidation, Stop orders were uncovered as July broke through the 15-cent level and the market was unsettled by re- ports of an easier spot situation in the southwest. The Wall street Selling ‘was active on the decline and may have been connected with the less favorable tone of the stock market. January broke to 14.59 and May to 14.60, or 33 to 37 points net lower, but at this level the decline was checked by covering and last prices showed partial recoveries.

The first de- cline carried the market off 5 to 17 points, but when shorts com- menced to take profits a uick re- action came about and for a while the market was steady enough. The rise in sterling exchange brought in moderate buying for long account and finally the trading months went 5 to 11 points higher than the of yesterday, with January up to 14.03. The sag in the late trading caused little excitement and floor comment was that the market acted well liquidated of its long interest.

J. W. JAY & CO. New York, December 21.—(Special.)— : We must adinit that the present bearish news and continued selling will aid some- what in improving the technical position, We are expecting severe breaks like this in our market, but feel that prices war- raut purchases rather than sales. HUBBARD BROS. & CO. New York, December 21.—(Special.)— With the south apparently continuing to liquidate, with dry goods marke report- ing further and more drastic cuts and re- ports from retail centers indicating pocr seasonal bnying, we believe it well to be out of the market for the present, as the indications point to the possibility of consid- erably lower prices in the next few days.

H. & B. BEER. New York, December 21,.—(Spe- cial.)}—When a contract is sold, un- less it is in liquidation of a long, the seller is obligated to buy at a later date.

Rome, December 21.—Replying to _ the ultimatum of General Caviglia, _ commanding the Italian forces sur- nd ' rounding Fiume, Gabriele d@’Annun- z - lo declared today that he would | Maintain his attitude and would not _ Yécognize the treaty of Rapallo. 'BAnnunzio informed General Ca- _viglia that he had decided to re- gist. Before officially notifying d’An- Nunzio of the fact that” royal as- sent had been given the law ap- Proving the treaty of Rapallo, Gen- _ ral Caviglia wrote the poet fra- ternally, exhorting him to obey or- onal ceiling of the room she cried, in weak and tremulous tones: “IT have not been alone! not been alone!” Instantly her atiorneys and com- panions attempted to quiet her, but all efforts were in vain. She broke from their grasps and in the same pathetic voice called again and again: “Jesus did not walk in the garden of Gethsamiene alone and I did not walk alone, for He was with me.” A moment later she siccumbed to the strain of the ordeal and fell to the floor ina faint, still murmur- ing incoherently. Decision Is Given. Judge Mathews prefaced his de- cision by saying: “As I have stated before, this hearing is in every sense a regular trial, a committment trial, and must follow all of the usual rules for a criminal trial, except those applic- able to a trial before jury, where the defendants are not found guil- ty unless the evidence removes all reasonable doubt. “Here only sufficient evidence is required to establish suspicion of a probable guilt, when it is the duty of the court to commit the sus- pects.” He then showed the difference be- ‘ders &nd to bow to’ the coutitry’s will, General Caviglia yesterday | received from d’Annunzio a reply which banished all hope that the regency will submit peaceably. General Caviglia’s ultimatum de- mapded the disbandment of d’An- nunzio’s forces, his evacuation of the islands of Arbe and Veglia and the release of Italian war material in Fiume. D’Annunzio was given un- til 6 o’clock this evening to reply to the ultimatum. General Caviglia now will pro- claim a strict blockade of Fiume and the islands of Veglia, Arbe and San Marcos, it was announced. The new blockade, it is said, will com- pletely isolate the territory occu- pied by d’Annunzio from the rest of the world. FOUR ‘DEFENDANTS ARE DISCHARGED Continued Frem First Page. I have about the necks of their attorneys and friends. Before the crowd had time _ to surge into the center of the big room, Mrs. Elmer, alone, a black- coated figure, had made her way to the very center. Frantically she tore her hat from her head, releas- ing her long black hair. With a white face turned upon the vaulted tween trial by grand jury, by jury and by a committment hearing. —_ = / The obtainable in - GEORGIA - DARK AND POWERLESS a HOMES, TOWNS AND FARMS Over 3% of Georgia is without electricity. le living where current was un- 1917 are shown by the black spaces below. The white shows those living where they could get light and power. In darkness and lack of available power, Georgia leads the 30 States listed below. The Water Power Bills will change this. Referring to Mrs. Henry, Mr. Hopson and Mrs. Elmer, he said: “These defendants stand as though there was no _ testimony against them in these conversations reported. Any suspicion found in the case must be founded on strict legal evidence.” As to Mrs. Cutts he said: “Before accessories before the fact can be convicted, the perpetra- tors of the crime must be convicted and unless the corpus delecti be shown, it will be impossible to con- vict her.. Upon consideration of the entire evidence in this case, it must be seen that it is very conflicting; it does not appear to any degree of clearness that these defendants had any part from a criminal stand- point. I hereby discharge all four NO. 31 defendants.” Clashes. | Numerous The closing of the case by Solic- itor General Garrett was marked by numerous clashes between Gen- eral Harris and himself, which caused much heat upon points of testimony. At one time the solicitor declared that Ernest Hopson had MASSACHUSETTS cashed the check of Fred Shepard only four days after his death, which he “considered a very signif- NEW YORK cant fact.” Mrs. Elmer called out (in her shrill boice: CONNECTICUT. § “Yes, because his mother didn’t have a cent and she had to have money:!”’ NEW JERSEY " Mr. and Mrs Cutts left Macon to- night for their home in Fitzgerald, NEW HAMPSHIRE ad Ga.

UTAH Following the hearing Attorney Gharles M. Durrance wired Dr. El- PENNSYLVANIA mer in Jacksonville that his wife and the other defendants had been discharged. Mrs. Cutts declared, following the MICHIGAN decision: RHODE ISLAND “T had no fear; I knew that it TFE4%) would come out all right.” Mrs. Henry left the courtroom with radiant smile and remarked in 73.5%} a quiet, controlled voice: ‘Did it not end as I predicted?” Today, the eighth and last day of the hearing, opened at 10 o'clock in WISCONSIN VERMONT ARIZONA * Georgia. States are doing. powers. for the stake. Your rights and the rights of your children are in peril. THE STATE SHOULD ACT (Published by the Municipal League of Georgia.) the forenoon and lasted until 10:45 c’clock at night. The night session drew the largest crowd which has ud uuenneneen | Only four of the States named have as much water power as is annually thrown away in Geor- gia’s undeveloped water power. : Georgia has 10 times the water power of Mas- sachusetts, far more than New York, almost four times that of Pennsylvania, eight times that of Michi- gan and seven times as much as Illinois, Only six of the 30 States paid as high an aver- age rate for light in 1917 as did Georgia. The Geor- gia rate has been raised more than once since then. Why, then, has Georgia so little light? Why is our industrial development being throt- tled by the lack of power? Remember these facts—Ask yourselves these questions when you read the anonymous attacks upon the Water PoWer Bills and the Municipal League now being sent from Atlanta to appear in the press of The Water Power Bills, if passed, will enable the people of Georgia to do what people in other The Bills will break the grip of the monopoly which the Power Companies have upon your water Electricity at reasonable rates will be put in reach of the whole state. Do not be fooled by the corporations. Their purpose is only to keep Georgia tied and helpless, while the corporations play games of high finance with Georgia’s God-given wealth of power yet crowded its way into the court- room. The unrestrained expressions | of pleasure and gratification which followed Judge Mathews’ decision left no doubt as to the way which pubHe sentiment has crystallized the last few days. Mrs. Henry Passes Lie. Mrs. Ioma Henry this aft- ernoon clashed with the _ state’s counsel on the floor of the court, giving him “the lie,” as he was opening the final argument for the prosecution. The sensation of the day’s hear- ing came during the speech of Sam Nunn, when Mrs. Henry sprang to her feet crying: “That is a lie.” : Her black eyes flashed with an- ger. “I was not at Mrs. Cutts; I have never been in the Cutts’ home,” she declared. “John S. Hopson was not there. He was at Mrs. McCrea’s home.” ‘ Four attorneys and Mr. Henry at- tempted to press her back into a chair, but she broke away from them and advancing into the middle of the floor she shook her fist at the counsel for the state, crying: “I defy you to prove any of those charges. I cannot stand these lies any longer,” she repeated over and over, while tears of rage ran down her flushed cheeks. Every one was silent, watching the infuriated woman as she chaNMenged her ac- cusers. Says Story Is False. “That story about Mrs. Cutts com- ing to Perry is false.” Mrs. Henry was forced back into her chair with a low murmur. “We cannot stand the lies they are tell- ing on us, your honor.” The last wor@g came with a choking sob and she broke down, weeping on ner sister, Mrs. Elmer’s, shoulder. Mr. Nunn then proceeded with his argument. The defense for Mrs. Henry and Ernest Hopson rested at 11:30 o'clock this morning, immediately following testimony by Dr. Orr, to the effect that calomel had been administered to Fred Shepard during his illness and that while: in attendance upon the sick man he found no symptoms to indicate poisoning. Mrs. Cutts rested subsequent to this testimony and that of five wit- nesses who attacked the character and veracity of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Turner, their son, John, and J. J. Peterson, who had testified on Sat- urday to alleged conversation with Mrs. Cutts in which she told them that the “dose” was mixed in the Cutts’ kitchen and that the plot had been formed to get Shepard’s money. The state closed its case at 12:35 o'clock and the defense also closed. Mrs. Elmer had closed on Monday, following the testimony of Dr. Charles C. Harrold to the effect that Shepard had died of peritonitis secondary to an unknown cause. Five Witnesses on Stand, The state placéd five witnesses on the stand to substantiate the char- acter of the Turners and Peterson. The defense for Mrs. Cutts center- ed every effort on this testimony to break it down, since the state in- tends to establish not only guilty knowledge, but responsibility and participation upon the strength of it. An interesting proceedings was point in today’s the testimony of Dr. Orr, that he aad administered calomel, bismuth, tincture of opium, codine and morphine to Shepard on the Sunday and Monday prior to death, despite the long arguments which have taken place as to the possibility of calomel changing into a mercuric sak, This is the first time that any direct evidence to show that Shepard had taken calo- mel has come out. The defense feels that this was the completing link in their chain of evidence. Another feature which created some surprise was the statement by Dr. Orr that on the same Sun- day he attended Shepard, he also visited a negro who evinced similar symptoms, from drinking “stump rum” and that he did not die. Early in the case it was reported that this negro had taken the same whis- ky which Shepard drank and died from the effects. Three Hours Each. Just before court was adjourned, after the morning session, Judge Matthews announced that the de- fense and prosecution would be al- lowed three hours each for argu- ment. Judre Matthews took his seat at 10 o’clock and the defense imme- diately started upon its exhaustive fight to break down the testimony of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Turner, their son, John, and J. J. Peterson, state’s witnesses. With this end in view, Mrs. Cutts’ attorneys placed Joe M. Smith, commissioner of ~*~ Wilcox county; William Harp, alderman of Abbeville; John Q. Wilson, commis- sioner of Wilcox county, and Floyd Smith, county officer of Wilcox, all of whom testified that they would not believe the Turners on oath, and two said the same of Peterson. Dr. W. T. Orr, who attended Fred Shepard while jl] at the Henry’s home, was next placed on the stand by Judge Ross, representing Mrs. Henry and Ernest Hopson. Dr. Orr testified that Shepard told him he had eaten barbecue on May 26. The witness said that he had given Shepard from four to six grains of calomel on Saturday and repeated the dose on Monday. He said that he had also given him a little co- dine; bismuth and opium. Dr. Orr declared that there was nothing in the case which suggésted Poison to him. He said tirat all of the symp- toms pointed to peritonitis, Calemel Net Poisen. Under cross-exami on, the wit- ness testified that the calomel which he inte See Shepard had not been oxidized oF changed its form in any way. e also stated that he had never heard of a calomel pois- oning and did not consider it a dangerous drug. The mixture of bismuth, calomel, tinclure of opium, codine and morphine, he said, was not dangerous as administered. Dr. Orr testified that on the same Sunday, May 29, that he was in at- tendance on Shepard, he also vis- ited a negro who evidenced symp- toms similar to those of Shepard. Here the state objected but was overruled. P The negro told me, said Dr. Orr. that he had been drinktng “stump root,” but he did not die. Following Orr’s testimony, Judge Ross closed for Mrs. Henry and Ernest Hopson with a motion for discharge of the two defendants at 11:30 o’clock. Attorney hal Lawson rose imme- diately and closed the case for Mrs. Annie Cutts with reservations. The reservations were that should Sher- iff T. E. Gibbs, Deputy O. T. Smith and former mayor of Beckham, ar- rive, they would be placed on the stand to impeach the testimony of state’s witnesses. All four defendants had closed the eases at 11:40 o’clock. Time for Conference. Judge Mathews granted the state’s counsel fifteen minutes for a con- ference. At 11:40 the state’s attor- ney returned to the courtroom and called for J. J. Barfield, former chief of police of beville; Will Blassingame, of ABbeville; S. A. Bowen, of Abbeville; J. R. Munroe, mayor of Abbeville, and W. C. Oli- ver, merchant of Abbeville, as char- acter witnesses. At 12:35 o’clock the state closed. Mrs. Cutts closed im- mediately. Judge Matthews ad- journed court until 2:30 o’clock. Court reconvened at 2:30 o’clock to hear arguments. Judge Matthews pointed out that the defense was divided into three cases; Mrs. El- mer, Mrs. Cutts, Mrs. Henry and Mr. Hopson. He allowed an hour to each “case,” and three hours to the prosecution for arguments. Opens for State. Sam Nunn opened for the state and briefly outlined the state’s the- ory as published previously. When he charged that Mrs. Henry wgs at the Cutts home, Mrs. Henry sprang to her feet and charged him with “lying” a number of times. She was finally carried from the room. The only new point brought out was the charge by Attorney Nunn that the ‘midnight” conference at Mrs. Henry’s home was coincident with the cause of Mrs. Cutts refus- ing to tell any more about the al- leged “poison conspiracy.” Elseworth Halt, representing Mrs. Elmer, followed. The burden of his argument was accusations against Mrs. Crandall’s motives and the lack of legal evidence against the de- fendant.

Dinty.” (At the Criterion.) A decided novelty in the way of a musica) offering, “‘The Toy Symphony," is resented this week at the Criterion theater, mn connection with the holiday program by Dave Love and the Criterion orches- tra. An elaborate stage setting represent- ing a typical Christmas scene is used i the prologue, “The Night Before Christ- mas,’’ and the orchestra is assisted by little Miss Aileen Stevens as ‘“The Musical Doll.”’ The featured picture this week is ‘‘Dinty,”’ in which Wesley Barry, the freckled-faced boy actor, is playing the lead e. “‘Dinty” is the tale of a ting Francisco newsboy. It deals with his to the head of the newsboys’ trust and the prominent part he plays in running down a band of Malay highbinders who have stolen the assistant district attorney's fi- Pa romance adven- producer, production giving Freckles Barry as ‘‘Dinty’’ the best part he has ever had. “Oh, Lady, Lady.” (At the Rialto.) You can’t tell what a little girl will be when ghe grows up, and Bebe Daniels proves it at the Rialto this week, for ‘“‘Oh, Lady, Lady,’’ carries out this idea in a thoroughly enjoyable vein. A gawky country girl be- comes a raving beauty of the musical com- edy stage. Meaning to help her fat, one- time lover, she get8 things into an awful mixup and completely *’gums’’ the wedding rehearsal which was to unite the serious- minded young man with a wealthy young girl, The situations are full to the brim with comedy and give Miss Daniels endless opportunities for laugh making. “Lady Rose’s Daughter.” (At the Forsyth.) Packed with thrills from start to finish, Elsie Ferguson’s latest picture, ‘‘Lady Rosa's Daughter,’’ which is at the Forsyth today, is meeting with enormous success through- out the country. Finely produced by Huzh Ford for Paramount release and superbly acted, this is one of the most charming rhotoplays of Miss Ferguson’s repertoire this season, The story is not only dramatic, but it exerts a powerful heart appeal. The theme deals with the love affair of an English girl who is born out of .wedlock, but who finds love and happiness in the end. Sup- ported by a cast headed by such players as David Powell, Holmes E. erbert, Frank Loree, Warren Cook and Ida Waterman, the p'eture is admittedly one of unusual interest to both young and old. “His Own Law.” (At the Strand.) Hobart Bosworth’s great photoplay, ‘His Own Law,’’ adapted from J. Parker Read's celebrated story, is pleasing big crowds at the Strand this week. It is a smashing story of two pals who loved the same giri, of a Clash between friendship and love, and code of honor stricter than any written law. It is a story that will thrill and amaze you, and show you a side of life that you never dreamed of. A clever two- reel comedy is also on the program. Meighan Wins Highest Approval in Playing Conrad at the Howard The showing of “Conrad in Quest of His Youth,’ at the Howard the- ater on Monday and Tuesday was in the nature of an ovation to Thomas Meighan, the popular actor who en- thused film fans by his memorable work in “The Miracle Man,” fasci- nated them as the butler in “Male and Female,” and made them love him ag the young artist in “The Prince Chap.” In this new Willlam DeMille pro- duction, he portrays the role of Con- rad Warrener, who, having passed middle age, realizes that he is old, and seeks, - re-living the scenes ef his youth, fo again. He finds, ultimately, that the secret of youth is love and the picture finishes with a delightful romance. The préduction is a winner, not only in theme and plot, but by vir- tue of the excellent work of the talente@ cast of favorites, which in- cludes Mabel Van Buren, Mayme Kelso, Bertram Johns, Sylvia Ash- ton, Kathlyn Williams, Margaret Loomis, Charles Ogle, Ruth Renick and others. The novel, upon which the picture is founded, is one of Leonard Mers« rick’s most popular stories. Olga Printzlau preserved all the beauty and delicacy of the original story in her adaptation. It will be seen for the last time today, as the entire program changes on Thursday. The four special fea- ture attractions are delightful. night when Judge C. E. Brunson, of Perry, representing Mrs. Henry and Ernest Hopson, followed much the Same course as those who preceded. Judge John P. Ross, representing Mrs. Henry and Hopson, concluded the defense’s argument, emphasiz- ing the fact that no evidence origi- nating with Mrs. Cutts is applicable to the other three defendants. x Judge Ross declared that he would not incarcerate a kitty-cat on the information of A. Funke,.who could answer only ‘not necessarily.’”, The speaker dwelt upon the expert tes- timony in a highly satrical vein, which produced bursts of laughter. Judge Ross concluded with a stir- ring appeal to the court on behalf of his two clients. For the final presentation of the State’s case, Solititor .Garrett re- viewed the entire evidence and the State’s theory. He spoke from 9 o'clock until 10:05 o’clock, before a packed courtroom. Then the de- cision was rendered. SHEPARD WITNESSES ARE REFUSED FEES Perry, Ga., December 21.—(Spe- cial.)}—The board of county com- missioners of Houston county; at a meeting today instructed County Tax Collector T. E. Thorpe to re- fuse all payments of fees to wit- nesses appearing In the Shepard hearing and took under advisement protests made by county citizens against paying any of the expenses of the investigation. Numerous witnesses from _ this county, Wilcox and Ben Hill, ap- peared at the courthouse with their subpoena slips and requested that they be paid for the time they were present at the bail hearing. They were referred to the commissioners, who, after a conference, decided on the above steps. The action of the commission comes’ as no surprise to the citi- zenry of Perry, when the body of Fred D. Shepard was exhumed by a court order signed by Judge H. Mathews, there has been con- siderable opposition manifeste! here as to who should pay the expense of the prolonged probe. The state summoned forty-two witnesses to appear at the bail hearing. Among them being prom- inent chemists, physicians and citi- zens from all sections of Georgia, and it is understood that the wit- ness account alone will be a heavy one. The members of the board of commissioners of the county are W. Hodgds, J. A. McGowan and C. B. Watson. TRAIN HITS AUTO; TWO ARE KILLED Greensboro, N.

He be- gan serving his sentence June 4, 1919. Last July, President Wilson cut the sentence to four years. At that time Judge Landis, in open court, declared he could not ‘under- stand the workings” of the presi- dent’s mind. “T can’t sentence these men with the Dorsey thing fresh in my mind,” Judge Landis declared in court to- “Dorsty’s activities ran into the thousands of dollars, while these men only stole a few hun- dred dollars’ worth of merchandise. I will continue this case indefi- nitely.” Hope Diminishes Concerning Safety Of Lost Aeronauts Rockaway, N. Y., December 21.— Lieutenant Albert W. Evans, naval aviator, balloonist and dirigible pi- lot, was ordered to leave tonight for Ottawa to direct search there for the balloon missing from the Rocka- way naval air station for more than a week. While the authorities atthe naval air station have not given up hope for the three men in the balloon, they admitted that the situation was serious. They now are working, Lieuten- ant Evans said, on the theory that the A-5598 did not land in the Adirondack mountains, but passed north of Ottawa. The search of the Adirondacks by army aviators will continue, it was said at the navy air station here, until hope is vanished. Belief seemed to be growing, however, that had the balloonists been in upper New York state, they would have been heard from before now. FUNERAL SERVICES OF F. S. BEUSSE HELD Funeral pelvteie for F.
