Im- portance of these instructions were ‘particularly impressed on the fifty- day patrolmen, who took up night duty in plain clothes for the first | time last night. but the . There was no mincing of words fn the chief’s talk. |The serious- ness of the spread of crime in the past few weeks was plainly ex- plained to them. He blamed no Member of the force for the condi- Wiition, but he declared that if alert- diligence and fearlessness could stop the series of safe rob- beries and hold-ups—and they can —that the policemen must employ every bit of each one of these qual- ities they possess. “A man robbing a safe and a man robbing on the highway are potential murderers,” the chief de- Clared. “I want you to listen to what I am saying now, and this applies to you plain clothes men in particular., If you catch a man in either one of these acts and he doesn’t respond at once to your erder to halt, shoot, shoot quick- ly, @nd shoot to kill. You must do this for your own protection and he protection of the lives and prop- ty of the city you serve. + Calis on Citizen Police. -) During the day the chief also called...qm. citizen. policemen to be particularly alert at night and to rt any suspicious characters or ny unusual incidents that came under their observation. ‘The transfer bf fifty patrolmen from the day watch to the night shift was the first of the :mergency measures undertaken by. the chief to halt the local wave of crime. He . regards it simply as an emergency measure. He maintains that the day froce~needs these men badly, crimes thatshave been prevalent in recent weeks have been largely nocturnal ,and though the day force suffers by the trans- fet, ti is believed that it is made necessary by night conditions. Day- light robberies are a rarity. Day- time safe-cracking is obviously im- possible. | The chief declared, however, that no matter how effectively the emer- gency plan works, the department iwi, remain in dire need of addi- onal assistance from council "It's the same old story I’ve been telling the, council committee for years,’ said the chief. “We need money for more men badly, and we need money for more equipment worse. Last night we received a telephone notice of a highway rob- We didn’t have a machine to an- sewer the alarm. Every car of the police department was either out of commission or out on calls. Our motor department is antiquated. We haven't a car capable of pursuing a band of motor-bandits, which form of outlawry is becoming popular in the north and will undoubtedly spread south. Our cars would be distanced in little or no time.” Funds for Police. However, in this regard prompt ‘aid was promised. Councilman Al Martin, chairman of the police com- mittee, declared that the January appropriations would carry $5,000 for new police atitomobiles, $2,000 for motorcycles and $1,000 for bi- | . Councilman Martin further leclared that he would exert every a : ie J ust Today and crowded Oh, how who has there. and what knowing “~ Youth Confesses To Robbing Safe In Army Station “I Did It to Get Home to Mother,” Boy Tells Fed- eral Officials as He Ad- mits Crime—Held in Fulton Tower. In a simple cottage, / some- where out in the vast darkness of Wednesday night, a little gray- haired mother kept a long, lonely watch for the return of her missing boy. But the little mother’s silent vigil was a hopeless one, for behind the Reavy steel bars of the Fulton county Tower, John C. Davis, the boy’ whom she loves as only a rious charge, after confessing to offcials he had broken into two government safes in an éffort to obtain transportation home. Well for the little mother, whose heart leaped with joy at every foot- step upon the street, thaht she did not know her son had confessed the crime. Better for her loving old heart that she be left in ignorance to her dreams of the boy, to formu- late many excuses for his vacant chair during the lang-awaited Christmas tme. “I wanted to get home to spend Christmas with my mother,” Davis told federal officers with tears streaming down his youthful face and his voice broken by deep emo- tion. Then heconfessed to having crack- ed two safes in the army recruting station offices in the Transportaton building Monday night, to Major B. M. Bailey, after being arrested by department of justice officials. Pathetic Picture. The boy, as he stood with drooped and heaving shoulders and told his story of a misspent life, made such a pathetic picture that every one who heard him was plainly affected. His troubles startéd more than a year ago, he declared, when he de- serted from the navy while in the Samoa islands. He was apprehend- ed by officials, and after serving a sentence, was dishonorably dis- charged at San Francisco last August. Since then the boy has worked his way from San Francsco to New Or- leans, and from this city to Atlanta. When he reached herehe was “dead broke,” he said. Believing that he might reach his home in time to spend Christnias with his mother, he attempted to enlist in the army under an assumed name, but offi- cers refused to accept him until hs record had been investigated. It was while he was in the office that he noticed the safes, saw the transportation blanks, which he thought he could use, and decided to run the risk of a robbery.’ Davis returned to the building Monday , night, and “cracked” the safes, se- curing approximately $300 in treas- ury checks, two. transportaton blanks and about $70 in stamps. Agent A. E. Farland, of the de- partment of justice, immedidately took charge of the case when the robbery was discovered Tuesday morning. By questioning ticket agents, he. found the corresponding numbers of the missing tgansporta- tion blanks, and then it was only a matter of arresting whoever pre- sented the blanks to a conductor. Ralroad officials were notified, and. as a result Davis was apprehended near Toccoa late yesterday after- noon and returned to this city, where he confessed the crime. Mother Awaits Return. The boy pleaded with Captain Bailey to “give him a chance to make good.” He told of how he had struggled to live aw honest, straight- forward life, but it “seemed that all the world” was against him, and he didn’t get a “square deal.” - “My father is dead, and’'my moth- er is expecting me to spend Christ- mas with her, after being absent for several] years. I know I’ve made mistakes, but J want to: make good, and if you give me a chance, I can prove what I say.” he declared to Captajn Bailey. Where is the little city in which his mother awaits the return of her son? This is a question whose an- swer the Public will never know, for. though Davis told officials fYwhere he had started when arrest- ed, he requested newspaper men, for his mother’s sake, not to publish the name of the town. And, being but human,.end, therefore,- “soft’’- hearted, the reporters promised. Davis is now being held at the Fulton county Tower on the charge of entering a government safe. All of the stolen property has been re- turned by the boy, and Captain’ Bailey has stated he would do al! he could to “give the boy a chance.” Tomorrow To Complete the Gift List You cannot afford NOW to leave any- thing to chance.

Jacksonville, Fla., December 22.— A John Doe warrant was issued here today, charging embezzlement against the man whose wedding at St. Augustine Monday gave rise. to reports that Captain Eddie Ricken- backer, American aviator, had been married there. A telegram from Captain Rickenbacker, who is on the Pacific coast, @isclosed the er- ror last night. The warrant was signed Charles Day, a hotel proprietor. Embezzlement of a sum of money from Mr. Day by “John Doe, alias Eddie Rickenbacker,” is charged in the warrant. Mr. Day has offered a reward of $50 for the apprehen- sion of the man. “Rickenbacker” stopped at the hotel of whieh Day is proprietor while in this city, and is said to have secured $750 on a check in- dorsed by the hotel man. The first intimation that “Rick- enbacker” was not the internation- ally known aviator was _ received here Tuesday night in an Associ- ated Press dispatch stating that Rickenbacker was on the Pacific coast. An investigation was at once started by the police, with the re- sult that a nation-wide search has been instituted, Mrs. Rosa L. Hannan, of this city and New York, and mother of the bride, stated today that she did not know “Rickenbacker,” but that her daughter told hcr that she had known him “a long time.” Mrs. Hanan declared that she was dumfounded at the turn of events, and that she suspected a conspiracy of some kind, but that she believed that her daughter had done no wrong. “I only saw my daughter's husband five minutes just before they left Monday night, and he was of an exceptionally pleasing per- sonality,” she said. Ww. M. Farans, of New York and Philadelphia, salesman for a brass manufacturing company, was a wit- ness at the wedding. He said last night that ‘‘Rickenbacker” had se- cured $1,000 in cash, his, watch, dia- mond ring and diamond stickpin,} Fatans, who was.closeély questioned by the police, established his iden- tity to their satisfaction, and was released. ECHO OF IMPOSTURE IS SAD- AWAKENING FORLITTLE MOTHER New York, December 22.—The im- poster who posed as Eddie Ricken- backer down in Jacksonville, Fla., by rying him, played a cruel trick on a motherly, homey little woman in New York whom he never saw. Mrs. Ann Faran is the mother of William Farran, a 24-year-old sales- man of auto accessories who is traveling through the south. Young Faran met the fake Rickenbacker and was overjoyed when the sup- pose ace of aces took a strong fancy to him. The Farans are in modest circumstances here and Biil- ly, an ex-chief petty officer of the navy, flashed beautiful air castles back to his mother and sister, Addie, who works*‘for her living, when “Rickenbacker” gave him a job at $25,000 a year. “Hitched my wagon to a star,” Billy wired his mother, several days ago. “Our whole lives are changed. Eddie Rickenbacker is our hero and he and I want you and Addie to have a blowout to celebrate. We both ask God to bless you.’ Billy followed this with a letter written on a train, in company with the “hero.” “Bddie is reading this letter and he is sending you a Stutz sedan as a present,” said Billy. “He owns the Stutz Motor company and has appointed me a arene manager at $25,000 a ear. am going to take rou and Addie he a vacation, Rick s a , wonderful fellow and a real man.” ics days went by. Billy loan- ed the supposed ace $1,000. ow comes the denouement. “Whole thing is a farce,” reads Billy's tatest telegram. I will write you all about it.” | Xmas Story-Tellers Have Used This Plot Since the Year One mas burglar with a heart” headed the pleas of Ruth Mailey, aged 10, not to take her Christmas presents when-she found him tn her home yesterday noon, on her return\from school for lunch. The bruglar was eating hér lunch which had been left by her mother before going down town shopping. He took her to the parlor and played little jingles and Christmas songs on the piano:for her. When she told him she would have to return to school he said: “Tell your mother I'll-return some day and: steal everything in the house,” but he left without taking anything. M arriage Licenses Should Equal Dog’s, Says County Clerk Chicago, December 22.—Because bridegrooms are so full of joy and hope they won't object, Robert M. Bo seer =n county clerk, proposed to the finance committee today that the price of m licenses be raised to the same scale as dog licenses. A marriage permit costs $1.50, and a dog license $3. “I don’t see why the fee for a marriage license sho not be raised to the dignity of that, for a dog license,” Sweitzer said. “A young man 80 full “ and duped a society girl\ into mar-_ BY HOTEL-KEEPER' Chicago, December 22.—A “Christ- j, | Coal tl pimctatians Drafted Orders on Transportation For 1.C.C. Committee Hears PBeeREt of Coal Op- }-£tators Also Paid Ex- ‘penses of Government Survey of-Coal Produc- tion, Morrow Testifies. $11.50 PER TON PAID BY. WAR DEPARTMENT Says Purchases for the Army Were Made Over His ’Protest, Although He Got Commission. Washington, December 22.—How President of Association the National Coal association, an organization of coal operators, dealt with the government and coped with the fuel shortage last summer were fields in which a senate investigat- ing committee today spent ten hours. J. D. A. Morrow, a vice president of the organization, told how the association drafted orders for the interstate commerce commission to issue on transportation matters, paid the expenses of the United States geological supvey in collect- ing official figures on coal produc- tion, kept Joseph P. Tumulty, secre- tary to President Wilson, informed of all steps and successfully fought proposals to re-establish a fuel ad- ministration, although coal prices continued to mount. D. W. Wentz, the president, testified to purchasing r the war department at the height of the shortage 150,000 tons of coal, for which the gavernment paid $11.50 a ton, while another cor- poration which he controlled was mining and selling contract coal tor $3.20 and $3.87 a ton. Correspondence Produced. The ex Mination“of the two offi- cials of Chaipeociasion was enliven- ed from time to time as senators produced correspondence taken from the organization's files during an unannounced search of its offices in Washington last Saturday and Sun- day, and questioned sharply the pur- pose and public interest of*the steps taken by the association and gov- ernment agencies alike. Mr. Wentz declared that his pur- chases of coal for the war depart- ment had been made over protest, | toa tor Calder, republican, New York, that “it was bad business for the government, and increased the dif- ficulty for the. public.” “A representative of the war de- partment came to me and said that the department had ordered all its coal for the winter boug immedi- ately during September,” Mr. Wentz said. “I said that the department should buy a little then, a little later on, and not go into the market for the full amount, because it all could be obtained later for much less money, but I was informed that the order was to buy immediately. The story I got was that the secre- tary of war felt the step necessary.” 375,000 Commission. Mr. Wentz said he received com- missions amounting to $75,000 on the purchases. Senator Calder, pro- ducing a sheet of figures, said that “millions of tons” had been obtain- ed for the agymy by other buyers during September and October at prices.ranging from $6.90 to $16. Another report, from the shipping board, saying that bunker coal at Hampton Roads dunNng the summer and fall had cost the shipping board $16.50 a ton, in quantities, Mr. Mor- row treated that by stating that it was “as inexcusable an example of government inefficiency as I ever saw.” Chiefly the examination touched the actions relative to coal short- age taken by the government agen- cies, presumably in the interest of consumers at large. Senator Ken- yon, republican, Iowa, armed with minutes of the association’s execu- tive committee meetings, sead a resolution which authorized the “drafting of an interstate commerce commission order to make mines immunte from dagames” for failing to fulfill contracts to furnish cgal. Association Drafted Order. “You did draft that order?” Sen- ator Kenyon asked Mr. Morrow. “We did and the commission is- sued it, with some changes,” the witness told him. “And its general effect was to association’s Continued on Page 4, Column 4. n of Sena- ae : pF aa ala ~ - by oe a | * al ae ¢ end t a o2 3 ? eS

Jasper, Ala., December 22.—Pri- vate James Morris, Company M, Tuscaloosa, was shot from ambush anda killed last night at Nauvoo, in Walker county, after the soldier had killed a coa] miner by the name of Northcut at Nauvoo, who had been creating a disturbance. Northcut resisted arrest and at- tempted to kill the trooper, accord- ing to reports, whereupon Morris shot and killed him. Following the shooting of North- cut, Morris sent another soldier for assistance in caring for the body, Morris remaining on guard. While in this position, unknown parties slipped up on the waiting soldier, shot him to death and made their escape, Military headquarters in Birminp- ham were immediately notified of the tragedy. The district in which the Nauvoo minesare located is in command of Colonel] Dallas Smith, with headquarters at sanpee. Strong reinforcements were rushed to the district, which is 18 miles north ol Jasper. HOLDUP EVERY HOUR REPORTED IN CHICAGO Chicago, December 22.—Chicago has just.passed one of the most law- less 48 hours of its history. A complete list of holdups, rob- beries and other crimes reveals that there has been a bandit raid in some part of the city every hour since Monday. They range from general assaults by organized gangs of thieves to minor holdups by des- perate unemployed. Police, ordered by Chief Fitzmor- ris to make a report on every desti- tute family in their district so that every poverty-striken person in the city would be sure of a Christmas dinner, had to abandon this work to assist in a general raid on crim- inals. Judge Landis added to the war that is being waged on crime by issuing injunctions against 31 addi- tional saloons, prohibiting them from selling liquor in violation of the Volstead act. By this action Judge Landis is sentencing all saloon men who violate his injunctions to the penitentiary for contempt of court. Miss Smith that she was unable to give out an interview.

What would be more glorious than for a man to take his automobile, and, with his wife and children, go into this mountain section for a month’s outing in midsummer? Fishing in these limpid streams, climbing these lofty mountaing and studying the leg- ends of the Cherokees would h inter- esting and health-giving pastime. Such an outing would be of incalculable value to weary mothers, to children, whether sick or wklil, and would make the head of the fam- ily feel more like a responsible member of society.

The burden of office having been shifted, and the re- sponsibility of a world peace and a universal program of future armament having been placed upon thé shouldérs of another by. the electorate of America, the president, though ill and perhaps forever an id—a supreme sacrifice made to the cause of international demcc- racy—reaches this Yule seagon with a new step, a new smile and a stronger and more attractive per- sonality than at any time since his illness begun in 1918. Secretary Tumu]lty announced to- day-hée had. discussed the inau- gural plans with the president, who had evinced @ lively interest in the ceremonies and had expressed a de- sire to participate in every way. “The president was looking ex- tremely well,” Tumulty said. “The president sat at his desk during the conference and for the first time in several weeks went to his desk unaided by his cane.” . White Heuse Christmas. Talking about Mr. Witson, the white house, already three days be- fore Christmas, has taken on the Yuletide spirit. Wreaths, evergreens and poinsettia were suspended to- day from the windows and a gen- 'eral holiday appearance perméated ‘the whole grounds. ) There will be no Christmas tree ‘at the white house this year, it was ‘learned authoritatively today. Pres- ident and Mrs. Wilson will observe the day in a very quiet manner, their palns including a family din- ner and long motor rides into the surrounding country. The ge .dent’s grandchildren, the little . Adoos and Sayres, will spend the.~ Christmas at their homes, but Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo and Pfofessor and Mrs. Sayre will be guests at the white house shortly after Christ- mas, coming for the marriage of Mrs. Wilson’s niece. Miss Margaret Wilson will be the on Yuletide white house guest of the president. On Christmas eve the prea‘dent will indulge in his annual custom of making Christmas gifts of tur- keys to the employees of the waite house. About 450 turkeys wili be distributed, each married employee and the policemen about the white a and grounds receiving the gift. The Harding Cabinet. / As has been said in these dis- patches the whole attention of President-elect Harding at this time is to provide a strong and satisfac- tory cabinet. He finds that in his plans he is liabte to overlap in states, and the republicans in Wash- ington, who are particularly close to him, are pointing out that in cabinet appointments state~ lines and party lines do not cut any. par- ticular figure, especially if meas- ured by the Wilson cabinet. In 1916 New. York voted over- whelmingly for Hughes, and yet three members of the cabinet— Lansing, McAdoo and Redfield— were New Yorkers. Texas could not have been lifted out of the dem- ocratic party with the aid of a dar- rick, and yet at one time two Tex- ans—Mr. Burleson and Mr. Greg- ory—were members of Mr. Wilson’s official family. And Pennsylvania, which last month gave Mr. Harding a plurality of 675,000 votes, has now two seats at the cabinet table, the attorney general and the secretary of labor occupying them.

Brussels, December 22.—(By the Associated Press.)—At the conclu- sion of the first phase ofgthe sec- ond financial congress to disguss |. German reparations, the delegates apparently have a good idea of Germany’s ability to pay and of the assistance the allies must give to Germany to meet their de- Informal discussions. be- tween the delegates will continue until the congress meets again on January 19. The German delegates left this afternoon for Berlin. The allied del- egations met again in the afternoon with the object of bringing about an agreement in their reports to their respective governments. They will leave here tonight or tomor- row. Germans Satisfied. The Germans seem satisfied that the allies will act favorably.~with respect to ,the assistance required by Germany. They took with them the allied suggestions regarding re- forms, such as decreasing the bud- get, reduction of the number of government employees, increase in direct taxes and other measures to put Germany on her feet. There is a feeling among the al- lied delegates that Germany should be allowed to retain some ship- ping, and hope !s expressed in some quarters that German property in the United States may be made available for credits. The German requests, however, admittedly ex- ceed the probable allied concessions, but it is felt in well-informed cir- cles that satisfactory ground for a settlement is in sight. May Modify Treaty. All the delegates voiced their con- fidence that the January session will prepare the case for a speedy decision by the Geneva meeting of representatives of the German and allied governments respecting the possibility of modifying the treaty of Versailles in order to enable Ger- many to pay the minimum repara- tions acceptable to the allies. Ac- cording to the original program, after the Geneva meeting, which succeeds the second session of the financial experts of Brussels, and after the reparations commission has fixed the total of the repara- tions due, the allied premiers will meet and decide whether the re- ports of the different conferences are acceptable and also what guar- antees are required for fulfilmeny of the ee en ant | the penalties foe efault. j German and allied delegates du ing the progregs of the.work of t first session has developed a feel- | ing of confidence that the second sersion will establish a basis a a solution of the questions so the subsequent conferences on the reparations program will only have to deal with any intervening ous — developments.

At a meeting of the Atlanta board Thursday all arrangements for the conference will be completed. Real estate boar’s of Macon, Sa- vannah and several other cities have approved the plan to form a state real estate association, Mr. Wight said, and the number of letters .re- ceived in response to invitations to meet here in January indicates there will be a large attendance. “With such an association,” saga Mr. Wight. “the real estate profes- sion can be greatly benefited, while ~aluable co-operation can be given the ‘Advertise Georgia’ campaign. whieh starts at an early date. The response to this advertising can be handled to a great degree by the proposed association.” Governor Hugh M. orsey has been invited to make the principal address before the conference, and a number of prominent realty men will also make speeches.

' A world peace plan based on the united moral influence of the great powers is taking more or less con- crete form in his mind as he gathers advice on the subject from every viewpoint. Available materia] for the cabinet has been sorted painstakingly, and, although no appcintments have been offered, the field of possibilities has been narrgwed sharply. Definite announcement of selections for two or three of the most important port- folios might be made early in the new year. - Te Rebuild Machinery. On the problem of reorganizing the elaborate executive machinery at Washington, the plans of the president-elect are less complete, but he at least has gathered much information and advice, and has set- tled upon a central scheme of pro- cedure. He proposed to build his cabinet from the very beginning problems of bis Roses Christmas Flowers In Abundance and At Reasonable Prices Our variety of seasonable Cut Flowers for the Holidays is the largest and most attractive we have had in many years, and our prices are very reasonable.

Np LY » THE CANDY OF THE SOUTH 101 Peachtree Street about the idea of a readjusted juris- diction amopg the respective execu- tive departments. “ These are the outstanding accom- plishments of the deliberations about Mr. Harding’s council boarc’ here, but the discussions also hav: developed many policies of lesse: oe He is keeping an ear te the ound -for information or the labor situat'on and on financia’ conditions. He has inquired into the question of agricultural relief and has sought for the real story of the nation’s military and naval status. Possible Seeretaries. From the first, the question of the. more important cabinet selections has been bound up with the world peace program and Mr. Harding hae weighed the qualifications of s- sible secretariess of state with par ticular concern. Charles Evans Hughes and Senator Philander Kn--x, are understood to be am®ng thos- who are figuring consnicuously ip these -considerations. David Jan-+ Hill and Elihu Root, another fermer secretary, also have been mentioned meny times in gossip as possible selections, Some of the president-elect’s inti- mate friends believe that to relieve the public mind of some of its present uncerta'nty he may an- noyfice his appointments to th. state and treasury departments within the next few weeks, and then build the remainder of the cabinet upon them. . Tonight, Mr. Harding repeated that no chrbinet position had been offered to anyone, and it was indi- cated that at least another week would elapse before any decision was made. Even the post of secre- tary to the president is said to be still unassigned, although the gen- eral expectation has been that he would keep George B. Christian, Jr., his present secretary. May Name Southerner. The advisability of selecting ‘a member of the cabinet from the south is known to have been under consideration by Mr. Harding, and there are some among his advisers who have urgei the selection of a democrat to a, place in his officia! family. It was learned tonight that one or two men are high on the list of availables whose names never have heen publicly discussed for cabinet positions. SALVATION ARMY TO GIVE BASKETS TO POOR OF CITY Salvation Army Christmas basket dinners for hundreds of the poor of Atlanta are now being prepared at headquarters, 39-41 Luckie street, and will be «dlistributed to ticket holders during the afternoon of Fri- day, December 24, from 3 to 5 o’clock. The same evening at 7 o'clock there will be an entertain- ment for poor children and a Christ- mas treé with distribution of sever- al hundred new toys, dolls, flying machines, scooters, etc. Each boy and girl will also receive a bag of Christmas candy and fruit. The Christmas baskets contain many articles substantial, in addi- tion to dainties. Enough in all for a good dinner for a family of six or seven people. When there are exceptionally large families, larger baskets will be provided. The unsettled weather, especially the heavy rain of Wednesday, has seriously interfered with the army’s financial returns from the street kettles, and Colonel Atkinson states that he hopes the public will re- spond generously durine the day or two remaining before Christmas, EXTENSION GRANTED FOR PAYMENT OF TAXES Announcement was made Wednes- day that an extension of three days had been granted DeKalb county taxpayers for the payment of their 1920 taxes. Monday. December 20, was the last day allowed by. law, 'and on that day over $90,000 was | turned in, but since there was still a large amount outstanding, J. E.

THREE GIRLS ROUT NEGROES WORKING AT WHISKY STILL Concord, Ga., December 22.—(Spe- cial.)—While hunting mistletoe on their father’s plantation on Flint river yesterday Misses May, Grace and Dolly Cochran, of Concord, spied a negro with a load of dead limbs on his back. They watched him for a moment and when he saw them he dropped the wood and ran. This action aroused the girls’ curl- osity, and looking a little further in the wood they found a complete still with two more negroes near it. These two negroes also ran and dis- appeared in the woods. Notwithstanding the. fact that none of the girls are yet out of their ‘teens they showed their Scotch-Irish ancestry by tearing up the still, dropping the copper worm into a nearby well and pouring out a large quantity of beer ready to be fired. They then took the still and carried it to a farmhouse near- by and notified the sheriff, who fin- ished the destruction. The éntire county is today singing the praises of the girls who showed such remarkable courage. ®@ RICHARD C. CURD, MACON ATTORNEY, DIES WEDNESDAY Macon, ch. December 22.—(Spe- cial.)—Richard C.

CRITICISES MOVE BY CITY COUNCIL A statement issued yesterday by the Georgia Railway and Powe: company takes exception to the pro- cedure employed by city, council in Jits meeting Monday night on the subject of the proposed rate in- crease for gas service. The com- pany takes the stand that council acted against it without giving the company opportunity to be heard. It also points to what it believes was ian impropriety in the speed with Which the council disposed of an im- portant subjecty — The statement follows: pu ed from an official e daily papers Monday was the g the public had of a sudden in certain ers to attack, the city council, this company’s s to obtain what it believes is a fair report . before the council was to .meet Monday afternoon. ¢ et the intention of the city’s chief executive to formally request the council to fight this company’s rate appeal before the railroad commission. On the face of this sudden. step, it was apparent that the chief executive undertook thus to construct a detailed. and lengthy argu- the gas question, and it was apparent that this was the only side he ‘wished considered by the council. ‘The intention on the part of its origi- nator was revealed just a few hours before the council session, as stated above, and there was a conspicuuous absence of any invitation to this company to present the affirmative arguments that support its side of the case, “What is the usual, well-ordered method of procedure in the city council or in any deliberative body in the wide world? Doesn’t the well ordered rule require the statement always of both sides of a ques- tion? How can a deliberative body proceed with clarity and fairness to decide definite action for or against any given proposition, without hearing both sides of the case? “The pending appeal of the Georgia Rall- way and Power company for an increase on its gas service rates is supported by a tremendous foundation of fact and argu- ment. It is only natural that this should be so. The most energetic opponents of the 1 must admit that, of course, and in the nature of things, this company must have an opportunity to say something in its own behalf. The most violent par- tisans of negation and obstruction must know that the company has some kind of a log to stand on—or it would not seek an increase in rates. The Georgia Railway and Power company feels that its proposal for relief involves the very life of business in Atlanta, as well as the comfort and convenience of all Atlanta homes. It believes that these things are based not only on necessity, but upon the much finer foundation of the spir- it of fair dealing, an ‘‘even break,’’ & square deal. The Georgia Railway and Power company wants only just one thifg: The right to be heard, to be studied and then judged. It seeks justice only ‘in. the ‘matter of rates.

Y., December 22.— For. the first time since the disap- pearance of the naval balloon A-5598, nine days ago, officers at the Rock- away naval] air station here ex- pressed the opinion tonight that the three occupants of the missing craft are dead in the wilds of the Adiron- dacks. The same opinion prevails at Mitchel field, Long Island, among the army officers, who have taken up the search for the ill-fated bal- loon. During the first few days of the craft’s disappearance, officers at the Rockaway station were confident that the men had landed in the Adirondacks, and as soon as they could work their way to a telegraph Station, the mystery of the craft would be solved. This hopeheld out for the aeronauts has given away to the belief that they have frozen to death in some unfrequented sec- tion of the mountainous area within a radius of approximately 80 miles from Glens Falls. Officers at the Rockaway naval!) air station pointed out tonight that in the event the occupants of the balloon landed uninjured in the thickly-wooded section of the Adi- rondacks, there was a strong prob- ability they succumbed to the bitter weather of the past few days, in view of the fact that the balloon was pooriy provisioned with food, and there were notfirearms in the equipment carried with which to bring down wild game for food. The airplane hunt for the missine craft, with Glens Falls as the base of operations, will precede with one Dlane scanning the country when the visibility permits observation flights, officials at Mitchell field announced tonight. Fugitive Booze Steamer Having Her Difficulties With Alabama Officers Decatur, Ala., Decemebr 22.—The fugitive steamer Luther J. Troxell, is again in the custody of Morgan county officials, the latest chapter in the elusive craft’s history be- ginning with her seizure today and the placing of a guard on board. The action was taken on the basis of a writ issued out of the circuit court by Judge Robert C. Brickell last July, following a raid on the boat by prohibition officers which, they claim, netted a bottle partially filled with liquor and a number of The sheriff seized the steamer! after the raid, but two days later the Troxell had left her moorings and was next heard from in Chat- tanooga. She recetnly returned here after experiencing court diffi- culties in Tennessee, it Is said.

Temporary Injunction to Pre- serving a five-year ‘CHRISTMAS MUSICAL Against Officials. Slidell, La., December 22.—Charges of non-feasance and incompetency against Mayor G. A. Baker, ang charges of cruelty, incompetency, malfeasance, graft, highway robbery and asault and battery against Chief of Police Luke Broome were made at a special, though informal, meeting of the Slidell council at the city hall Tuesday night. Witnesses against the two offi- clals included Walter Naismith and his sister. Naismith was arrested about a month ago in connection with the robbery of a Slidell store, but was later released. He testified that during the time of his incar- ceration he was beaten and other- wise cruelly treated by Chief Broome. 2 The charge of highway robbery against the chief was made by two negroes, who said they had been held up and robbed of all their money after being severely beaten by Broome. A peanut vender claimed the police tried to force him to pay $10 a week for the privilege of selling peanuts at the passenger station. COMPANES ENIOINED FROM LEAVING STATE vent Fire Underwriters’ Withdrawal From Mississippi. Jackson, Miss., December 22.— State Revenue Agent Stokes V. Rob- ertson late this afternoon sued out a writ of injunction before Chan- cellor Striker forbidding the 139 fire insurance companies doing bus- iness in this state, against whom he has filed suit for penalties under the anti-trust laws, from withdraw- ing from the state. Conspiracy Charged. The petition for injunction charges that the companies have “conspired each with the other to cease doing business in the state of Mississippi,” that they have simul- taneously ceased to write insurance policies in the state of Mississippi, all of which, the petition avers, “is the result of an unlawful conspira- cy, each with the other, to unlaw- fully defeat complaint in the suit against you.” The injunction, which is tempo- rary, the date for a hearing having not yet been fixed, enjoins the companies from “withdrawing from this state in pursuance of said con- spiracy, and commanding you not to carry out said conspiracy to dis- continue the business of writing in- surance on property against loss by fire in said state, and commanding that you absol ly refrain and de- sist from carrying out said con- spiracy by suspending business in said state.” No Insurance Written. The revenue agent does not con- tend that the companies have no right to withdraw from the state, but that they have violated the law by “conspiracy” to withdraw. There was absolutely no writing of insurance in the state of Missis- sippi today, orders being received by many more of the agencies to withdraw altogether. Agencies have not only quit writing insur- ance, it is said, but have agreed that there shall be no brokerage placing of policies in companies not admit- ted to do business in that state, and the situation, instead of being clari- fied, as was expécted today, grows more tangled. The expiration of fire policies at an early date is caus- ing a great deal of apprehension. $227,000 in Dividends And Bonuses to Be Paid | By Citizens & Southern Duting the next few days, the Citizen and Southern bank, mdin- taining financial institutions in At- lanta, Macon and Savannah, will pay approximately $227,000 in dividends, bonuses to employees and interest on savngs accounts, according to an announcement Wednesday aftarnoon by Frank Hawkins, chairman of the board of directors.

From Prison Cell, Ponzi Sends Xmas jatecting to Fleeced Boston, December 22.—Charles Ponsi today sent from Plymouth jail] a Christmas greeting to his thou- sands of creditors, bidding them be of good cheer. His letter, written on expensive bond paper, was en- graved with the legend, “Charles Ponzi, Plymouth, Mass.”’ The one-time financier, who is sentence for using the mails in a scheme to de- fraud, expressed a hope that the mishap to his créditors’ investments would not mar the spirit of the Christmas season, and asked them to look forward with him to the day when he would step from the jail a free man to aid them in re- covering their losses. He asked that if his yuletide message found any response among them that. they send “a word of sympathy and en- couragement to his wife and mother.” PROGRAM AT TRINITY A Christmas musica! festival serv- ice will be held in Trinity church Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock.

The public is invited to attend. tion in Freight and Passenger Rates on Railroads. BY JAMES A. HOLLOMON Washington, December 22.—(Spe- cial.)\—A reductién of freight and passenger rates is urged upon the in- terstate commerce commission in a letter by Senator William J. Harris today, who contends that the public and the railroads are both suffer- ing from the present high rates. The letter says: “It has been brought to my atten- tion by many people in Georgia and those whom I have seen here, that the present high passenger and freight rates are doing more to de- crease the amount of income re- ceived by the railroads than if a lower rate was in effect, which would cause more freight to move and more people to travel. In other words, the railroads are not carry- ing an average maximum of freight and passengers since the increase in rates. Of course, the commission doubtless has figures on this ques- tion which throws more light than l can by general observations. “It is needless for me to point out to you and the commission that the railroad situation is a problem which has not been solved to any great degree by the transportation act of 1920. The thing which I am greatly interested in is the matter of freight and passenger rates to be Placed within reach of the average Person, and at the same time give the railroads a reasonable income for their investment. Both the pub- lic and the roads deserve an honest living, but I fear that both are suf- fering. Because of high freight rates there are products in my state which are now being shipped in Very small quantities in comparison with production.and demand. “TT hope that an adjustment can soon be made which will bring down the rates, and I would thank you to let me have any information on the matter at your couvenience, which may have been gathered or published by the commission.” / Friendship Ties Strong in Death, Comrades Find Unseen Forces Lead Two Men to Casket of Their Boyhood Friend, Who Died in World War. About a decade ago, there lived in a little Alabama town three youths, whose friendship for each other was common gossip among the inhabitatns. When the boys grew to manhood, they entered the government postal service. They were George T. Booth, who is now stationed in Montgomery in the rail- way mail service; L C .Boyd, of 101 Hurt street, Atlanta, who has one of the “runs” between Atlanta and Montgomery in the same _ depart- ment, and Herndon Glenn Swanson, who, before he gave his life for his country, lived in Fairburn, and had the same “run”’ as that of Mr. Boyd. When the United States entered the world war, Swanson was sent to France as a postal agent. After a short stay, he returned to his home, and when the onslaught of the Huns madeit necessary to call for volun- teers for overseas service, he vol- unteered and was sent to Siberia. Here he was almost immediately stricken’ by the dreaded typhus dis- ease and died. His friends heard of his death and grieved as only strong men can for a true friend who has passed on. They knew that he had found an ice-covered resting place in Siberia, on account of the laws prohibitine removal of bodies in cases where death is the result of a malignant disease, within a year’s time. Thought of Friends. And always when their thoughts were of him, they pictured him 7 er gg in the barren, frozen soil of Siberia, 7,00 miles distant, or, as they last saw him, laughing and talking as they stood on the depot platform in Montgomery, where the three gathered every time their schedules permitted, and talked over boyhood days. During the past two years, it was & common sight for Mr. Boyd to see fifty wooden boxes draped with the American flag lying on the depot siding waiting to be transferred to aonther train. Many a time he had passed a solitary coffin as it lay on the depot platform, and he had seen any number of coffins, from one to fifty, and had passed them by. Thesame was true of Mr. Booth. Since the first mobilization, it was no uncommon thing for him to glance out of his office across the station platform and see the flag-draped wooden box. Lovely Coffin. Early one bright, crisp mornine, about the first of October of this year, Mr. Boyd completed his run, left the mail train in Montgomery and started up the platform. About twenty yards down the platform lay a lone coffin. It was not in his path and there was nothing unusual about it. He took a few more steps and stoped: there was something appealinygly lonely about this par- ticularcoffin. He made another ef- fort to continue on his way to the office, but could not. An irresisti, ble force, unseen and unheard, slowly guided him, to the side of the wooden box. When he reached the coffin, still chained by the unforeseen force, he raised the flag, and the metal plate under the coffin became the mouth- Piece of the dead, and he _ read, “Herndon Glenn Swanson.” A chill swept over the man as he stood on the same platform beside the body of his old friend. He dropped the flag back on the coffin, the only flag that he ever raised from its Place during the entire time that he has come into touch wtih the draped caskets. Mr. Boyd hastened into the office of Mr. Booth, where the former re- lated his experience. When he had finished, Mr. Booth stated that not ten minutes before the train had ulled into the depot, he was look- ng out of his office and saw this coffin and, against his will, he went down on the platform, raised the flag and for the first time knew that the bodv of hia friend had been removed from the country in which he died. LIGHTNING BOLT STRIKES SCHOOL, HURTING SCHOLARS Troy, Ala.. December 22.—A light- ning bolt struck the Spring Hiil Consdlidated school, seven miles from here, this morning, almost wrecking the building.- and seven children were severely shocked. Roy Benton, 17, was rendered un- conscious. The force of the bolt tore the youth’s clothing from his body and split the leather of the shoes on his feet. 4 A wage reduction of 221-2 per cent for the 35,000 cotton mill operatives in this city v-*+s announced today after a conference between the Fall River Cotton Manufacturers’ associ- ation and the textile council. The reduction, which will become ef- fective on January 3, in all of the one hundred mills controlled by members of tis manufacturers’ as- sociation, brings this textile cen- ter into line with the reduced scale of wages in other cotton-making centers of New England. James Tansey, president of the textile council, said that general meetings of all the textile unions in the city would be held early next week to vote on acceptance or re- jection of the cut. Less than one- third of the operatives here are union members, but the action of the textile council usually is accept- ed as the guide among the work- ers. Pittsfield, Mass., December 22.— Announcement was made today that a 221-2 per cent wage reduction would be put into effect shortly in all of the woolen and worsted mills in central and northern Berkshire county. Between 2,500 and $3,000 persons are normally employed in the eleven mills. Several .of the plants have been closed for some weeks and no date has been set for their resuming operations. Bridgewater, Mass.@ December 22. The Stanley Iron Works here, with head offices in New Britain, Conn., today posted notices of a 15 per cent reduction in wares effective at once. A 5 per cent monthly bonus also is abolished and a drop from time-and- a-half to straight time for all overtime is announced.

Eufaula, Ala., December 22.—A Tornado passed ten miles north of Eufaula at 10 o’clock this morning. unrooting trees and demolishing a number of houses, but no reports of loss of life have been received, although telephone wires are down and telegraph service is being con- ducted under difficulties, making receipt of details slow. ONE KILLED IN Ss. C. TORNADO. Columbia, S. C., December 22.—At least two South Carolina towns were struck by a tornado this aft- ernoon, dispatches to The State from Barnwell and Laurens, telling of loss of one life at the former, and destruction of property at both. PIMENTO PEPPER CROP INCREASED FOR 1921 Griffin, December 22.—(Special). I. is reported that the Pomona Pro- ducts company of Griffin, canners of Pimento peppers, have closed con- tracts with Spalding county farmers for over 600 acres of pimento pep- ers in 1921. Larger prices are con- tracted this year than last and the prospect for this much diversifica- tion in Spalding is already provided. The pepper industry in this county has grown to large proportions in the last few years and pepper pro- duction will-it is stated, give as good or better results than cotton production, this is especially true under present conditions, ag the price of peppers is guaranteed while other farm products are thrown on an unprotected market. CONFIDENCE VOTE IS GIVEN LEYGUES BY THE DEPUTIES Paris, December 22.—The cham- ber of deputies this afternoon, after an agitated debate in which the cabinet was sharply assailed, ap- proved the first, part of a resolu- tion accepted by the cabinet, but failed to approve the second clause by an unprecedented tie vote, 279 voting each way. This ordinarily means the fall of the cabinet. Some of the deputies held that the cabinet had been beaten while others said they were ready to ac- cept the clause in amended form. Premier Leygnes finally accepted the modified form, whereupon the chamber voted confdence in the ministry, 472 to 66.

COPING WITH CRIME. “We have had ‘crime waves’ in Atlanta,” Chief Beavers is quoted as having said Wednesday, “but I cannot remember when we have had so many crimes in such a short period as Atlanta has shown in the past few weeks.” This, as the chief points out, is a condition that is by no means peculiar to Atlanta, but one that obtains in practically every large city and’ throughout the country generally. This condition presents a prob- lem that can neither be tem- porized with nor evaded. Our police department says it is doing its very best with the resources at its command. These resources are inadequate, as proven by the very fact of the existence of the condition itself. There is only one way to meet this situation, and that is to meet it; only one way to put an end to crime in Atlanta, and that is to put an end to it! The chief has suggested the ad- dition of more men to the regular police force, and the addition of wmore automobiles to the depart- ment’s equipment. § Both of these suggestions are sound, and should be put into ef- Mect at once. It is every citizen’s duty, of course, to help—to co-operate with the police in preventing crime and in apprehending and sonvicting criminals. But to rely on untrained civilians o police the city is not only futile ‘and ineffective, but it is Inviting crime; and to call on civilian citi- zens to do that sort of service is tantamount to a humiliating con- fession of weakness on the part of the police, which delights the criminal! New York is meeting its “crime wave” by the addition of 1,300 patrolmen to the regular force. - That is going about the business in the right way; and Atlanta should do the same thing. It will not do for Atlanta to resort to the traditional old whine that it is “broke,” and that it can- not afford to hire more policemen. ‘ it can do what it must do, and it must find the money necessary to adequately protect the lives and property of its citizens against thuggery and theft. ” What Atlanta cannot afford is to tolerate the criminal element, and to submit to wring its hands and’ appeal to citizens to play at being policemen, while every night homes and stores are being bur- gilarized and citizens are being held up and robbed, and too fre- quently murdered, by crooks and yeggs and thugs! This thing must stop! , And it is Atlanta’s first duty to ’ jtg citizens to quit playing the baby act, to quit pleading poverty, + quit footing with “civilian po- * tice” nonsense, and to employ as ‘many competent, well-paid patrol- men as may be necessary to cope with the criminal class that is making nights hideous and the ays a horror, even if it entails _ the doubling or the quadrupling of - fhe present force! | Smeal © THE PROPOSED SALES TAX. eral tax revision, statement of Chairman Fordney, of the house ways and ‘means committee, relative to fed- indicates that Chairman Fordney states that he and other members of the com- mittee are in favor of “some kind” of a sales tax as.one of the means of financing the government. “A sales tax,” he said— “Seems a sensible tax, but we do not want a sales tax that will be“ multiplied and pyramided into a burden on the consumer. We want to avoid a law which will cause to be passed on to the con- sumer a levy which nets more prof- it to the merchant than tax to the government.” Under the present surtax sys- tem, the chairman said, it often happens that more is added to sales, under the guise of covering tax than the tax levy justifies, and this, Chairman Fordmey con- tends, is one of the problems that congress must solve in revising the revenue law. | As the present amusement tax system works out, when a citizen buys a theater or other amuse- ment ticket for, say, $1 or $2, as the case may be, he knows in ad- vance precisely the added amount which he must pay in the form of taxation. The same principle should ap- ply in the case of every sale upon which the government may place a sales tax. If such a tax as that proposed, is kept strictly to the lowest mini- mum of federal requirement, and is applied to everybody without favoritism or discrimination, and if the consumer is _ protected against the possibility of having to pay more than the exact amount of the tax itself, there should be no valid objection to the plan, for such a tax would be fair and just to all. The peanut vendor, for instance, whose gross sales amount to, say, $100 or $200 a month would have only a few cents to pay on the gross volume of his busines; and the establishment whose gross sales run into the millions would pay in proportion—no more and no less. just and fair. : In order to protect the con- sumer it has been suggested that in levying this tax every sales transaction be accompanied by a duplicate memorandum—one copy to be handed to the purchaser, the other to be retained by the vendor —showing exactly the amount of the sale, and, at the bottom, the amount of the government tax at the percentage fixed by law. In this way, in fixing the price of goods sold the vendor would fix the prices regardless of reve- nue tax—as though there were no such tax. Then, when he makes a bill of sale he simply foots it up and adds to it the percentage of the government tax. The cus- tomer pays the bill, and in doing so he has in black and white ex- actly the amount of the tax bur- den he is carrying, and knows that he is carrying no more than his rightful share. He will know that he has not been charged a price plus the legal percentage of revenue tax, plus an additional percentage above the tax. This tax is a consumers’ tax. The public so understand it, and every good citizen is willing enough to pay it, provided, he knows that what he pays as war tax will, every penny of it, find its way into the government treasury, and that the “war tax” cannot be used as a pretext under which to obtain money from him under false pretenses. After all, it appears that no fairer tax plan could be devised. It would treat everybody alike. The man who buys little would have little to pay; the man who buys much would have to pay in proportion, the amount of the tax going up in proportion with the volume of business. The plan suggested gives prom- ing annually all that may be nec- essary to run the government. Everybody is agreed that an im- provement over the present sys- tem is essential, and it looks as though this plan, with the income tax and sur-tax and other taxes that will be levied, will provide the necessary revenues. The alleged shortage of Christ- mas mail in some sections may be due to the statement of many that the gifts mailed them a week be- fore last Christmas haven't ar- rived yet. As to Lenine’s proposal to “ban- ish money,” the sort they have been issuing there isn’t worth the trouble. Sign on many a door just now might well be: “Not at home. Gone to Marion, to tell Harding what he doesn’t know about it.” The president-elect doesn’t tell any of them to mind their own business. The making of cabinets pleases them and doesn‘t. hurt him.

O, McINTYRE EEE New York, December 22.—It was a gathering of typical New York- ers, waiting in a reception hall of a banquet room to pay tribute to the honored aen of Broadway—a playwright. They basked, as it were, in the anticipatory glow of the pre-dinner cocktail. Broadway likes to give dinners for its great, end then forget them to hail a new- comer. The man _ with the rosy, apple- dumpling face and trick derby is Ar- thur Hopkins, a sort of upholstered Hi Holler who has the soul of a great artist. The benign clerical looking gentleman is, of course, Be- lasco or as the chorus men call him, Dave. Even in his lighter mo- ments his thoughts appear to be soaring above earthly things. Incidentally, the dinner dress has this winter. The guests come in- formally and seem to like it bet- ter. A starched shirt at times is accompanied by a starched mind and in the new fashion there is less formality and better fellowship. The rather stout couple with jet black hair is Lee -nd Jake to the Rialto, and the Messrs. Shuberts to their employees. They have a pug- nacious air that belongs to the born fighter. Yet they know how to smile pleasantly on rare occasions. The only successful producer who looks like the modern type of Wall street banker is Charles Dilling- ham. He is well built, white-haired and has clean-cut features. The fellow with the lavender shirt and collar to match, the sassafras color overcoat, green felt hat and black hair streaked with gray is the man George Jean Nathan de- clares to be the peer of musica] show producers. His features are as immobile as if he had just been dealt four aces and he looks like almost been abandone@ at banquets, | he might take three stealthy poees to the left and hiss. He is “Ziggy” to his help and Broadway and F. Ziegfeld, Jr., to the public. ~ The tall fellow who resembles 4 Harvard stripling, is Brock Pember- ton, this year’s newcomer from Park Row. Then there is the as- cetic looking person with ponderous glasses—Winthrop Ames. Nearly all the time this group is technical- ly at war, but at banquets they leave off their armor and unbend. They even ppaise each other, bur thev do not let the familiarity ex- tend over to the next day. Social climbers at times resort to strange customs. There is a s0- cial climbing New Yorker who reached an impasse in his finances. And just as they were hanging to the fringe of socictv, a slight push would land them throu the por- tals. Several weeks ago his wife sued him for separation. She asked $2,000 a month for her maintenance, 000 a year. That appeased the creditors, and gave him a new halo in society. The suit was dropped shortly after—and fm their moments alone they sit and smile.

Co ght, 1920, for The Constitution.) ( PLODDING EVER. Some folks seem never to have time—except for the thing which they do. As though to hoe beans, Or run errands, or sit at a desk and figure out the increase on a dollar, was more important than to stop and talk to a human being full of life and zest. Why is it good merely to keep— plodding, ever? There is nothing in this wonder- ful world so stimulating, so thor- oughly heart warming, as to own a friend and keep step, in fact and spirit, with all that he offers of human companionship. I have one or two friends who give me unusual’ thrills of pleasure, For they are not always—plodding ever. 7 This is the way it comes about with one of them. I call him on the phone: “Hello! That you, Bill? Engagement for lunch today?” “Yes!” “With whom?” I ask (as though my presumption had no qualms!) “With YOU,” my friend replies. And thus we touch the happy shores of cantentment—and sit there while the waves keep the sand white—and talk! The horizons of us all are hung with values—some big, some little —someée so small that they are com- pletely lost except when you get right up to them. And it all de- pends upon which values you choose to make your own, as to how great and useful you become. And then, 00, much depends upon how you put various values to-’ gether. But to plod and plod and plod, with no care for the selection of those values which have so much to do with development of a round- ed character, is to darken your heart, as a home is put into shadow when the curtains are drawn. Plodding ever—no time! And after just a little while, there is no time —for life has passed along for you. Take time for helping and loving. Be thrilled at the wag of a little dog’s tail and glorified in spirit at the smile of a baby. For the only things we are per- mitted to take with us into the be- yond are those which we have hung up in our hearts here and now. Today’s Birthdays. Edwin T.

Exercise is a two-edged medicine, like most good medicine. It is ca- pable of doing serious harm when unintelligently prescribed and it Is unintelligently prescribed by any number of physical culture charla- tans and mail order schemers for those who like that sort of thing. If I have seemed to place greater emphasis on exercise as a remedial agent than I have placed on drugs, that is certainly not because I im- agine exercise is a better or more essential remedy than GCrugs. I have urged the value of exercise for sedentary people who hope to keep reasonably well; I have not pre- scribed exercise or exercises for any individual case, and I have inform- ed a great many correspondents that I am unable to prescribe such a remedy for an individual case without having personally examined the patient to determine whether exercise is advisable, and if 50, what exercise and how much. I regret to find so many readers im- agine exercise is a cure-all which can be blindly employed without regard to individual circumstances or requirements. A good many victims of such se- rious disease as tuberculosis are daily weakening their chance of ar- rest by indulging in unadvised or ill-advised exercise, even such mod- erate exercise ds walking about. It is nothing less than foolhardy for any victim of th disease to take so much as a oll around the house without the explicit direction of the physician who knows his individual requirement—and no phy- sician can know that who has not recently e: -mined and observed the patient. The indiscriminate pre- s:ription of exercise for those who happen to have tuberculosis, as is done altogether too frequently by the physical culture charlatan and the mail order faker, is responsible for much unhappiness on the part of TB victims and their friends. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Cold Cream. What is a good formula for a cold cream? (Miss L. K. D.) ANSWER—The best formula is that given in the U. S. Pharmaco- poeia which every druggist has, and the preparation is there called Un- guentum Aquae Rosae (Ointment of Rose Water). <Any reliable phar- ‘macist can prepare any desired quantity on order—and of course cold cream should be freshly made. How Many Oranges?f Are aranges good for one? How many oranges may one eat without injury every day? Is it harmful to take the juice of half a lemon in a glassful or a pint of hot water ev- ery morning? Is drinking hot wa- ter at frequent intervals through the day beneficial for one, or is it liable to cause cancer as I have re- cently heard? (J. D.) ANSWER—Oranges are whole- some, usually beneficial, in any quantity daily. It is not harmful to take lemon juice in a pint of water every morning—might even be beneficial, but don’t let any one make you believe that this can pos- sibly reduce flesh. I do not advise the drinkine of hot water or any other hot beverage as a habit. Some physicians do think that drinking or eating things that are very hot may favor cancer of the stomacn. In any case, it is certainly not a healthful practice. Chapped Lips. My lips are always chapped in cold weather. They seem to be dry and I have a, constant desire to mosten them with my tongue, espe- cially when in a warm room with many people. Is that mere ner- vousness? (I. I. B.) ANSWER — Probably a habit caused by the condition of the lips, but it tends to aggravate the chap- ping. Better use this lotion two or three times a day on the lips: Glycerin, tincture of benzoin, al- cohol; equal parts of each.

Re-election of all state officers of the Farmers’ union, adoption of resolutions calling for an enlarged bureau of markets, promotion of the co-operative marketing system and condemnation of the policy of the federal reserve board were main features marking the final session Wednesday in the capitol of the or- ganization. Under the plan for a larger state bureau of markets it is proposed to have a representative in each coun- ty to assist the producer in market- ing crops at a fair price, while other features now in effect will be per- fected. This proposal was ad- vanced by Governor-elect Thomas W. Hardwick in an address at Ath- ens several weeks ago. The resolution regarding the fed- eral reserve system stated it was the opinion of the union that the system was in a position to render valuable aid to farmers, but through the attitude of Secretary of Treas- ury Houston and Governor Harding, a heavy loss has been sustained by producers. President J. H. Mills presided dur- ing the afternoon session, and short talks were made by Secretary Flem- ing and a number of others. Lutne?

The mo- ment it becomes. the unbroken poli- cy of the courts to send offenders to jail, violations will begin to decrease, the editorial predicts. The Christmas edition is an es- pecially attractive number, and con- tains a special Christmas message in its editorial columns, and a num- ber of well-constructed editoriais on live topies of the day. One ar- ticle predicts a successful adminis- tration for Governor-elect Hardwick and others deal with the large num- ber of automobile fatalities in At- lanta, the better gas movement and the present prices of . foodstuffs. An editorial on woman suffrage de- clares that the future of the na- tion lies in the hands of women voters. “Whenever they cast their strength for right things, there will always be enough men who will join with them to win, but if they are content to be as dull and stupi@ as the men have been, and are, we have no reason to hope for anything better than we have had.” COUNTRY’S LARDER SHORT ON MEATS Chicago, December 22.—Cold stor- age stocks of meats and lard in the United States are down to thirteen days’ supply, if all were available for immediate consumption, the In- stitute of American Meat Packers announced today. This is the low- est mark reached in several years. Nearly one-third of the supply is in the process of cure and therefore not available for immediate use, the institute added. During November the supply de- creased 21,949,000 pounds and on December 1 the total of meats and lard in both cold storage plants and packing houses was 695,676,000 ee: Civic Leaders Urge Library Aid On City Council Atlanta civic leaders are prac- tically unanimous in their expres- sion that steps should immediately be taken to assure Atlanta of con- tinued and uninterrupted service of the Carnegia library, which is said to be in lamentable financial condi- tion and in urgent need of support which it seems will be given by an appropriation of city council. Committees have been appointed from civic organizations of the city to appear before the finance com- mittee of council im reference to including the library on the 1921 finance sheet. Julian Boehm, pres- ident of the Civitan club; Eugene Harrington, president of the Ro- tary club; Eugene R. Black, presi- dent of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce; Dave W. Webb, president of the Atlanta Advertising club, and George E. Eubanks, president of the Kiwanis club, have expressed them- selves in favor of immediate and concerted action as follows: W. E. Harrington, ‘‘Atianta ig very fortunate in having the library school. Strictly as a dollars and cents proposition it would be poor business policy for us to lose the contribution that the Carnegie library fund makes toward the payment of remuneration of those on our library staff, and the practical help that the students give without cost while taking the library course. Atlanta should promptly meet the reasonable requirements necessary to maintain a staff of competent librarians in competition with other cities of a eimilar class. Our libraries form a very important part of our community life, ranking along educational lines only sec- ond to our schools. It is to the interest of every citizen to have a_ well-organized and properly balanced library staff. I feel confident that council will recognize the needs of the library board, and find. a way to keep our library system up to @ max!i- mum of efficiency.”’ Julian V. Boehm. ‘“‘Apart from the present crisis facing the Carnegie library in the possibility of los- ing the library school, the condition of general depletion in staff and books is something which the city of Atlanta should not willingly allow to continue. There are certain standards below which we ourselves are not willing to fall. No city can af- ford to be without a library and no city with the ideals and solid good qualities that Atlanta possesses can afford to keep its library on a starvat.on scale. It is bad business, for a comparatively small increase in expenses will set the institution in run- ning order and give us a library to which we can again point with pride. We should no more be willing to have a library with- out a well equipped staff and a sufficient supply of books and magazines than we would be willing to have sham books on the shelves of our home libraries. One is no more a sham than the other.’’ George F. Eubanks. ‘No one can read the report of the con- dition of the Carnegie library without being convinced that relief must be provided, for Atlanta can not afford to let her library go to pieces and it can not expect to be able to maintain a staf? on a lower scale of salaries than other cities are paying. It is ‘unthinkable for Atlanta to consider letting her library deteriorate, and it is still more unthinkable for her to put her- self in the position of having to give up the library school. For my part, I am giad the library board bas put the facts before the public, and I think it will be one of the most important duties of the 1921 city council to take care of this situation.’’ Eugene EB. Black. ‘From the report. made by the llbrary board of the condition of the Carnegie liI- brary it is quite evident there must be some relief provided or Atlanta is going to lose the Atlanta library school and such a thing is unthinkable. We all know that it were a question .of bringing this school here, Atlanta would be the first city to go out for it. If the city had not tten it in the beginning it would have no reflection on Atlanta. But to have a thing and then lose it is something At- lanta does not do. But, the question of the school, the usefulness and efficiency of the library is at stake, for no matter how faithfully a staff may work, any business man knows that you can’t have three or four turnovers in all the itions in his office in a year’s time and his busi- ness not suffer. I am in favor of the city appropriating whatever amount the library board has estimated is necessary to enable the library to maintain a permnent staff and to assure the continuance of the library school here and to enable the llbrary to render the services to the community that it should.’’ Dave W. Webb. “It 1s with deep regret that I learn the status of affairs now existing in our libra- ry. This institution means too much to our city to be allowed to suffer in this manner, and I heartily indorse the recom- mendation for a substantial increase in sal- aries and the addition of assistants suffi- client to meet the present demands. I stand ready and willing at all times to — REQUISITION ISSUED TUESDAY FOR HETRICK Alleged Embezzler Arrest- ed in South Carolina City. Governor Hugh M. Dorsey Teed. day issued a requisition for W. F. Hetrick, wanted in Cobb county on the charge of embezzling funds of, the Acworth Cotton milis, of which he was géneral manager and secre- tary and treasurer, following his arrest at Columbia, 8.:C..& féw days ago, after being trailed since Octo- ber, when the shortage was dis- covered. \ At the time he was arrested, Hétrick’s shortage was said to have been estimated at $30,000, but a subsequent investigation showed a deficit of approximately $70,000. When the case against the alleged embezzler was called for trial, he failed to put in an appearance, and his bond was forfeited. Since then a local detective agency, represent- ed by W. T. Gloer, of Atlanta, has been searching forthe missing mah. Hetrick was followed to Mine- sota, to Florida and to several other states, and finally located in Colum- bia, where, it is said, he had an en- gagement to meet his wife and spend the Christmas holidays. “On his arrival in theé city he was met by an officer and placed under arrest. When Hetrick is retwrned to this state, he will be carried to Marietta} and lodged in the Cobb county jail to await trial.

OF LITLE RED GURPUSCLES Plenty of Red Blood Is the _ Surest Foundation of Bounding Good Health SES SORE ee GOOD BLOOD CONQUERS DISEASE Pepto-Mangan Purifies the Blood and Fills It With Red Corpuscles Scientists like to compare the red corpuscles in the blood to an army. The red corpuscles are disc- shaped, smooth cells which swim in the blood in large numbers. They take up and carry away impurities from all parts of the body. When disease germs enter your body (and. miJiions do every day) it is the red corpuscles that attack and eee them. If your blood is weak and‘ slug- Bish and loaded with poisons, the disease germs are able to multiply quickly. That is when you are pale and what you call “run down.” That is when you need to take that great tonic, Pepto-Mangan. It contains the ingredients your blood needs to build it up and increase the numbér of red corpuscles. Pepto-Mangan is for sale at your druggist’s, and in both liquid and tablet form. They have exactly the same ingredients. Take whichever you prefer. But to make sure ydu met the. genuine, ask for “Gude's Pepto-Mangan” and see that the name “Gude’s” is on the package.— SDACHE RELIEVED QUICKLY NO DOPE-NO ACETANILIDE UDINE (TS LIGUID - QUICK EFFECT COST REDUCING DEAS RECTED, 1S CHARGE Probers: Hear of Effetts to Prevent Use of Cheaper Plumbing Methods. New York, temps of soil pipe manufacturers of the country to prevent the use of innovation in the plumbing busi- ness that would reduce the cost of building were revealed today in testimony and letters put in evi- dence before the joint fegislative committee investigating the “build- ing trust.” Testimony was given purporting to show that in some instances the manufacturers were supported by the Master Plumbers’ associations and the journeymen plumbers. The committee took up its in- vestigations of the Eastern Soil Pipe Manufacturers’ association and the Southern Soil Pipe association today after getting a promise from Secretary Margraff, of the Metal Ceiling association, that the organ- ziation would “mend its ways” and eliminate “unfair and despotic reg- ulations” in its by-laws. Price of “ipe. Charles F. Tuttle, secretary of the Eastern Manufacturers testified to the association’s activities. While denying that the soil pipe mnufac- turers had a system of price fixing, Tuttle admitted they had a method of notifying each other of a change of price by another member. “Yes, and the Central Foundry company set the pace,” asserted Samuel Untermyer, the committee's counsel, adding that every time the company changed the price of pipe, all the other association memoders did likewise. Tuttle’s declaration that the price changing lists had been discontin- ued last April was characterized as a “fake” by the committee's coun- se], who declared the _ soil pipe prices continued uniform throuzh- out the country. Documentary Evidence. Southern and eastern manufac- turers, Tuttle admitted, had met in Atlantic City last September and discussed the matter of distribut- ing price changing lists. Scores of letters and other documents were placed in evidence by Mr. Untermyer in an effort to show a campaign of the easterners in conjunction with vent the use of medium or standard size pipe and other plumbing de- vices that would decrease the sale of cast iron pipe.

FLYER TO TRY AGAIN FOR WORLD’S RECORD Mineola, WN. Y., December 22.— Lieutenant Ross C. Kirkpatrick, army flyer, who was forced down early today while attempting to break the world’s record for con- tinuous flight, will have another try at the record soon, he declared upon alighting from his 400-horse- power army plane.

H undreds of Babies Are Sold Each Year In Utah, Says Judge Salt Lake @&ity, Utah, December 22.—Declaring that hundreds of ba- bies are being literally sold in Salt Lake every: year, Judge Hugo B. Anderson, of the local juvenile court, in his blennial report to the governor, recommended that legis-~- lation be introduced to prevent the continuance of the traffic. He condemns the adoption nro- ceedings as at present carried »iut in the courts, stating that they are handled informally and decrees en- tered as a matter of course, the courts having no means whereby to make investigations. Ask That Navy’s Radio Stations Be Commercialized Washington, December 22.—Legis- lation to permit the navy depart- ment to make contracts for trans- mission of press matter at rates to be approved by the interstate com- merce commission, was advocatea today before the house 'merchan, committee by Representative Britten, republican, Illinois, author of such a bill, and various press representatives. The question was one of service, not of rates, Mr. Britten said, adding: “If the newspapers could get the service they want from private con- cerns they would not be here.” Joseph M. Patterson, of The Chi- cago Tribune, said the newspapers did not want a government monop- oly, but opposed the present system by which the secretary of commerce could say when radio service was to be interrupted. The bill would place the matter entirely In the navy's hands. Decided opposition developed in the committee to the Britten meas- ure, and consideration was put over until after the holidays. = distance.

There are fireplaces in the homes of the neediest families, but there is little wood and less coal to burn in them, and these people hardly know a radiator by sight. Christ- mas shoppers had been driven from the streets, but the members of these families had to brave the weather, for they must work to earn the pittances that keeps life’s spark burning and what small hope is their’s alight, Bright Ray of Hope. There was a great deal more than a2 ray of hope, though, in Mr. Wil- lis’ letter. Its very simplicity was eloquence itself in expressing the wealth of feeling he has for those who are in want at this season of the year. It was addressed to the Publisher of The Constitution and it read: “I take pleasure in handing you herewith my check for $500 to apply on your Christmas charity fund. Kindly use this where it will do the most good. “Yours very truyy, “G. F. WILLIS.” In the same mail with Mr. Willis’ contribution came a check for $10 from the Rev. W. M. Seay, pastor of the West End Baptist church, who opposed the Howard theater concert. Mr. Seay wrote: Rev. Seay’s Letter. ‘‘Inclosed find check for $10 for Asso- clated Charities, from one who belongs to the so-called Puritanical crowd, and whose heart and hand are open hilariously to help needy humanity. ‘The taunt of Puritanism is. a familiar one used by the aposties of liberalism against those who disagree with them, and contend for a stricter interpretation of the sanctions of religion and law. Puritanism and true liberality are by no means anti- thetical. Puritanism that looks toward the safeguarding of law and the upholding of the moral welfare of the community, in- stend of being a reproach, is a crown 0 glory to anyone who wears it. It protests equally against the Jesuitical doctrine of doing evil that good may come of it, and any camouflage of good out of which evil is certain to ultimately’ grow. “The Puritans were not perfect men, but they were honest, earnest, sincere and God- fearing. The stoutest protagonists of liber- alism would hardly claim more than that for themselves on their honor bright. ‘‘The Puritans, the honored Pilgrim fathers, in the cabin of the Mayflower be- fore they trod the soil of this continent, where they laid the foundations for the present stubility of the land of the free and the home of the brave, drew up a declara- tion of principles, whose beginning was, ‘In the name of God, amen.’ One of those prin- ciples had to do with reverence for the holy Sabbath. We who enjoy the blessed heritage of their labors, prayers and high ideals for the nation had better, ‘in the name of God. amen,’ thank them, than use their honored name as a byword and a hissing. ‘‘No one can deny that as to the day of God there never was so determined an ef- fort to break down every safeguard that has hitherto hedged it about as a day of rest and religious worship. With wide-open theaters on Sunday and a ‘merry-go-round’ of ungodly amusements, the Sabbath would soon become nothing but a melancholy mem- ory. If ultimately ‘the whole Puritanical extreme Sunday observance structure’ will tumble ‘ike a house of cards,’ there are willions of Americans who would like to tumble with it—or not, as the case may he. If it does tumble, one thing is certain, the sort of Sunday observance found in Atlanta will rise again at the hands of the countless thousands in America protesting in righteons indignation against the license on the Sabbgth now prevailing in the north, and which has almost swept the holy char- acter of the Sabbath from the weekly cal- endar. If our position be extreme, the other is certainly no cure for it. It is now time for Puritans to speak, and in no uncertain terms,’ Fort McPherson Fund.

In his card he says: ‘“‘T am an optimist on all subjects. But a little pessimism is indispensable in order that we may call into service our common- sense. it is amusing, to say the least of it, to observe how the representatives of the moving picture interests prate about charity, and their profound desire to aid eleemosyn- ary institutions whenever the subject of opening the movies on Sunday is up for discussion. “The idea of opening the nicture shows on } be | I | an $9.50 made. equipped with tone-control LUDDEN “Sota SOUTAE 80 N.

And shofid not seek a partnership with charity for operating on Sunday, any more than Monday. “If thesd movies were allowed to open on Sunday, the first logical consequence that would materialize would be direct competi- ; tion between the movies and the churches. “Fifty per cent of the pictures shown by the movies in the city of Atlanta between Monday m and Saturday night should be prohibited. For they are deleterious, rather than conducive to the moral and re- ligious uplift of our city. “*The proposal to have free movies under the guise of Sunday afternoon concerts is the artistic camouflaging of the entering wedge which will result pretty soon in the wholesale operation of the movie-picture shows of Atlanta.’’ Here are the opportunities: Opportunity No. 1.

The kindergarten playroom, third floor Peachtree arcade, inaugurat- ed just before Christmas last year,- has just completed its first year of service to Atlanta mothers, and is particularly busy at present car- ing for children while their moth- ers shop. Every day the many visitors to the playroom may see a crowd of children playing in the sand pile, sliding down the slides and the roller-coaster in happy contrast to othe r tired children and _ their mothers, trying to push their way through the Christmas crowds. So many mothers do not yet know about the playroom, and its ‘efforts to be of service to them, so the home economics department of the Atlanta Woman’s club, under whose auspices the playroom is conducted, wishes that everybody who knows of the great good the playroom is doing would pass on the )LSOM’S 50-Cent Dinner _ Choice of Soups : 132-157 ‘« .

Preceding the approach of the bridal party Mrs. C. Guy Smith sang, in her own inimitable manner and with beautiful interpretations, “My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice,” from the opera “Samson and Delilah,” by Sain Saens. To thé strains of Lohengrin’s bri- dal chorus, the wedding party slow- ly entered. The radiant young bride was never more lovely than she appeared on this eventful oc- casion, in her handsome gown of white duchess satin with pearl trimmings, the bodice and panelled front being fashioned with rare duchess lace from her mother’s ‘to Blaine,” Leroy. grade. . wedding gown. Her long court train was' embossed with |. earl trimmings and ropes of - pearls, while her real lace vell was fash- ioned.in coronet effect and caught with orange blossoms. Her flow- ers were of bride’s roses and lillies of the valley. Her only jewels were a diamond and platinum pin, a gift from the bride’s mother, and a dia- mond and platinum watch the gift of the groom. Ths maid of honor was Miss Ha- ze] Hannah, who was particularly lovely in a gown of white satin and tulle. The matron of honor, Mrs. J. D. Flowers, was very attrace tive in a gown of white tulle and lace; both of Montgomery and cou- sins of the charming bride. The bridesmaids: Miss Elizabeth Montgomery, a cousin of the bride from Pulaski, Tenn.: Miss Virginia Hassenger, of Birmingham; Misses Myra Whitt, Clem Buchanan and Maggie Ray, of Montgomery; all woore exquisite gowns of white satin and tulle. The bridesmaids, matron and mald of honor carried exquisite white os- trich fans, to which were tied bows if white tulle, showered with buds of bride’s roses and lillies of the valley. Mr. Delaplane was attended by Mr. Louis Broughton Whitfield, Jr., brother of the brdie, as best man, while Mr. Bruce A. Bradt, of St. Louis, Mo.; Mr. Carl McMahon, of Mobile: Mr. Amile F.. McKenzie, of Dothan, Mr. A. J. Kelly, of Atlanta, Ga.: and Mr. Harry Merritt, of Birmingham, were the groomsmen. Lieutenant T. A. Austin, Messrs. Scott Shep- herd, L. C. Strong and Mr. Marshell Foster, of Atlanta, Ga., were the ushers, The entrance of the bridal party was marked by the coming of four attractive little girls: Anne Whit- field, Mary Ross Flowers. Mary Francis Thornton and Sarah Strake, bearing ribbons from the entrance to the altar, forming an aisle through which the bridal party passed. ; Immediately preceding the bride came the dainty little flower girls: Francis Vandiver and Mary Ellen Pitts daintily dressed in pink sat- in and@ tulle, carrying between them a basket from which roses were scattered in the pathway of the bride.

CAPITOL CREW HAS FIRM FAITH IN SANTA CLAUS Is there a Santa Claus? Millions of kiddies answer “yes,” and, since they know of all the happiness the yearly visitor brings, their answer is absolutely final. Therefore, the above question be- comes foolish, indeed, and falls into a category owned and controlled by none other than Rube Golberg. But does Santa Claus come to see the “grown-ups?” This is an alto- gether different question, and one of much importance at this particu- lar season. At the state capitol, a few hun- dred occupants and. several news- paper men are taking the affirma- tive side of the question. The Christmas spirit, with all the hap- piness of the yuletide season, per- vades the huge building, and where there is happiness there’s bound to be a reason. This particular reason Santa Claus. Governor Hugh M. Dorsey be- lieves if there is ever a time in’ life when p2ople should cast aside the duties of statesmanship and the worries of routine: business, Christ- mas is the occasion. So, taking the mouthpiece of his. dictaphone in hand Wednesday afternoon, he yell- ed for some few moments words to the effect that the capitol] will be closed Thursday at noon and remain so until Tuesday morning. As the result, every capitol occu- pant believes there’s a Santa Claus fer the “grown-ups.” In the rail- road commission department, how- ever, there are two pretty stenog- raphers who are very sad, for it has been decreed by Chairman Murphy Candler that these offices must not close at noon Thursday, and, after observing Friday and Saturday as holidays, that everyone must be on duty Monday morning at the usual time. Hence the sadness. Otherwise, the happiness of the o¢cupants is complete, and all are planning the “merriest’” of merry Christmases. BURIAL OF DENNIS TO BE IN TALBOTTON The body of John Henry Dennis, age 75, of 100 North Moreland ave- — Tnue, who died Ttresday at a local sanitarium, will bé sent to Talbotton Thursday morning for funeral and interment. Having been a resident of Atlanta for 25 years, Mr. Dennis was a widely known citizen. He was a member of the Central Pres- byter‘an church. Until about ten yexTs ago he was an active business man, but declining health forced him to retire. Surviving Mr.- Dennis are four brothers, W. T. Dennis, of Talbot- ton; A. T., J. L. and P. E. Dennis, of Atlanta. (on the street, at’ ‘Adjustment Fund For Spring Street Matter Is Vetoed A resolution passed Monday by council authorizing the expenditure of $1,000 for permanent readjust- ment of property on Spring street owned by Captain James W. English and affected by the Spring street paving work was vetoed Wednes- day by Mayor Key, who ruled that all the city can do is to make tem- porary means of egress and ingress, and that permanent adjustments must be made by the property own- ers themselves, The message follows: I am returning without m olution to appropriate $1, adjustment for property of Cap English on Spring street. The readjustments that under this resolution are perman expensive. This is the first pla adjustment that has been submitted will establish a precedent for entire Spring street development. What,.is done in this case will have to be d in all cases, and to follow up this plan of fread- justment in all cases will make the im- provements so expensive to the city that it could not find the money to do the work and would defeat the project. The improvements that are being made on Spring street are very large and expensive and the expense is being borne by the ublic. The benefits accruing are reflected mn the values of every piece of property including the property in question, All the city can do is to make temporary means of egress and ingress and the permanent adjustments must be made by the property owners themselves. This is the only plan that can be followed that will insure the suecess of the develop- ment. For these reasons I have disapproved the resolution. W. H.

Herman was an odds-on favorite in what betting was indulged in, 3 to 1 being freely offered that he would - Yetain his champonship. Both Boys Nervous. Both boys were nervous at the outset. Lynch’s advantage of height and reach soon were apparent, and excessive cautiousness on the part of Herman cost him any chance he might have had to hold the. title. In four of the rounds Herman had the better of the argument, but in only one of these had he dny de- cided vantage over Lynch. In this round he had Lynch in dif- ficulty, but that was all. Herman’s defense at times was puzzling to the ehallenger, but whenever he landed one of.his long lefts or right hooks ines, a grin of satisfaction epread over lLynch’s countenance, while Herman’s face denoted that “ra was afraid of his opponent’s wal- ops. In the rounds where he had the better of Lynch, Herman took chances. When he did attack he was very successful, but these ef- forts were only spasmodic, while Lynch was the ange pe in all the rest of the rounds. Lynch clearly outpointed his man in ten rounds, Herman had four and the opening session was just about even. Lynch Injures Thumb. Lynch suffered from a cut lip but it was not until after the fight was over that it became known to those in his corner that the new champion had badly injured the thumb of his rght hand during the third round. Lynch was elated as he was carried on the shoulders of his manager and han- diers around the ring, while Her- man went out through the ropes without making any audible com- ments. Herman and his manager sail on the Imperator for England tomor- rgaw at noon. The ex-champion is matched to meet Jimmy Wilde, the little paper weight boxer and Eng- ligh champion, in a 20-round bout in don on January 14. So far as could be learned tonight Herman’s defeat will not alter his plans in any ca and he intends to sail and ful- fii his English engagement. : Garden Is Packed. While the ##Dempsey-Brennan bout brought an enormous crowd to the Garden last week, the interest evinced by the fans in the bantam cHampionship fight tonight gath- ere dthe biggest crowd the structure ‘ever held. The house was sold out early this afternoon and even the speculators were unable to meet the damands of the late comers. Both Herman and Lynch weighed-in un- dér the stipulated 118 pounds at 10 p'etlock. Neither showed any ill ‘effects from strenuous training and each expressed confidence as to the outcome of the battle. Although Lynch had the advantage in height and reach, Herman was a 7 to 6 fa- vdrite in the betting. n addition to the main event there were three 10-round bouts ~ and ohne of six rounds on the card. 4 ; al for the boys in the bantam divi- r) > gibn. Professor William Muldoon and State Senator McCue were the jutiges selected by the state boxing eam mission.

The judges dipagreed and Referee Louis White décided on Thompson as the win- ner. Roy Moore, of St. Paul, 1211-2 paunds, knocked out Jimmy ‘Martin, of Brooklyn, 1171-4 pounds, in the first round of the second bout, which was to have gone ten rounds. rtin 8 gg for Cupie Col- lehder, of this city. ohnnie Buff, of Jersey City, 114 pdunds, cleverly outfought Midget Smith, of Panama, in whact proved to be the semi-final bout, as the other 10-round go on the card was ealied off. Smith/ made his first eauple of here in the Garden a couple of weeks ago and scored a knockout in 21 seconds, but to- night he was only flashy at times and the judges awarded the bout to Beft. .

NEW CHAMP A FIGHTER IN BIG WAR New York, December 22.—Joseph | Lynch, the new world’s bantam- weight champion, was born in New York 23 years ago. He entered the ring as an amateur five years ago. He saw service with the American expeditionary force in the twenty- seventh division and while abroad lost decisions in two contests with Jimmy Wilde, the English flyweight. Lynch earned the right te méet Pete Herman by knocking out Jack Sharkey, of New York, recently. The new titleholder gained consid- erable notice by knocking out Kid Williams in 1918. Although Lynch has accumulated @ small fortune with his fists, he still drives a truck occasionally and considers it a pleasure to spend a day “working for father.” JESS WILL REFEREE DECEMBER BOUTS Kansas City, Mo., December 22.— Jess Willard,- former heavyweight champion, who will meet ack gam mag A next March in an effort n Roper December : A were 2 hee Nef = s rep © a proposa » officiate.

IN PROSECUTION OF BALLPLAYERS Chicago, December 22.—James O. “Ropes” O’Brien, former assjstant state’s attorney, will be engaged to assist in the prosecution of White Sox players and gamblers, who are charged with conspiring to “throw” the 1919 world’s series and are now under indictment by the Cook coun- ty grand pury, it was announced today by President Johnson of the American league. Johnson said be expected early hearings in the cases. During the last year, O’Brien, an assistant state’s attorney, secured convictions which sent several men to the gallows. During murder — he always wore a red neck- tie. “We must go the bottom of this affair,” said Johnson, “ and no guil- ty person must be allowed to es- cape. That is the only reason why the American league is taking an interest in this matter. Mr. O’Brien has a notable record for convie- tions and that is why we have de- cided to employ him.” GRID BATTLE TS SCHEDULED ON CHRISTMAS The Bulldogs and the Tigers will meet in the last football game of the 1920 season on Christmas day in Hapeville, The game is scheduled to start around 2:30 o’clock and from all the dope that can be gath- ered on tha subject the game should be a thriller. They have played two games this year &lready one resulting in a tie. In the two games that have been played this year, all kinds of foot- ball was dished out to the fans. This game affords the grid fan one more chance to see his favorite game being played this year by some who really know how. This will be an absolutely safe way to celebrate Christmas. Here are some of the players. Trav. Steuhenson all prep ath- letic for several years, and who won his letter in foot- ball at Oglethorpe in 1918. He will probably play fullback for the Bulldogs. Fulghum of the same team, who clipped off 100 yards in 10 2-5 seconds in 1916; Linton, who is even faster than Fulghum, and a better ground gainer, also starred in prep circles. Arnold, the other backfield man of the Bulldogs, al- though he hasn’t any prep records to boast of, probably shows up to even better advantage than the others, for besides calling signals with excellent judgment, he can boot the oval. Barnhart Fastest. ; Barnhart, halfback of the Tigers, is the fastest man on the field. He holds the distinction of being an all-prep catcher the past season, performing behind the bat for Peo- cock. Barnhart, so far, has prob- ably shown up to the best advan- tage of any man on the field as far as carrying the ball is concern- ed. Where this fellow Cunningham came from is a mystery, but he would crowd Jim Thorpe for honors as a fullback, as he seldom fails to gain. McElhanon is known in ath- letic circles for his powress at the game of basketball and he is just as good as a football player. Allen, like Cunningham, is a new-comer. He shows up especially well on punts. The last four named con- stitute the backfield of the Tigers. Watch for more dope from these teams. They’ll probably announce their line-up in a day or so, and then some real interest will be man- ifested in the fray to come off on Christmas day. GREENSBORO FIVE BEATS THOMSON ‘V’ Greensboro, Ga., December 22.— (Special.)—The Greensboro Tigers defeated the Thomson High five in Thomson yesterday afternoon by the score of 63 to 9. The Thomson lads were completely out-classed and out-played by the Tiger clan in every department of play and were unable to stop the dazzling pass work of the Tigers that proved so disastrous. Soon after the fracas started the Greensboro quintet put the game on ice by a display of brilliant goal shooting and when the first half ended the Tigers were leading by a score of 27 to 5. Lewis and McCommons’ playing was nothing short of marvelous, while Smith was the shining light for Thomson. The Greensboro machine was in tip-top running order and every cog was well oiled and working. The Tigers have defeated the El- berton High school team by a score of 76 to 4; Madison, 85 to 12, and Thomson, 63 to 9. The locals have scored a total of 224 points against 25 by their opponents. They have played three and won three games. Good Games Coming. The locals will play some of the best prep and high school fives in this section of the state before he season is over. Games will be ar- ranged with several Atlanta teams. The locals were especially anxious to play the Covington High team, but their schedule has been com- | pleted and is full. he Tiger machine is the sensa- tion of this section of the state in high school and prep circles. The local school has always been rep- resented by crack-a-jack quintets, but it seems that this five sur- passes all of the other machines in the days gone by. The locals will clash with the strong Fulton High five in Greens- boro on January 7. Games with other leading Atlanta teams will be played. The ae are coached by Prof. Cc Cc. Wills. The Line-ups.

Attention, please; the wahoo- wahoo bird is going to speak. What is he saying? It sounds like, from here, that he says there is going to be one of the best prize fights to come off next Tuesday night at 8:30 o'clock, at the Auditorium-Armory, that the Atlanta fight fans have had the chance to “focus their optics” on in many a moon. If the bird knows what he is talk- ing about, he is going some, for At- lanta “scraphounds” have witnessed some mighty good battles in the last two or three years. Listen, the wahoo-wahoo bird is telling who is going to fight. Who does he say? Well, he says that the main attraction, which is to go ten three-minute rounds, will be be- tween two of the best light heavy- weights in the south. Well, who are they? Don’t you know. Well, I will tell you. The first man that comes to our mind,,and who is well known in the hearts of many fight fans al] over the south, and who possesses a punch that will lay a 6-inch gun in the shade, is none other than our old friend Bill Bailey. And, as we get it from a reliable source, Bill carries a wicked "rambunctious” punch in either paw, and if he ever lands solid he is sure to send his opponent to the hay for a while. Well, who is he going to fight? Young Joe White, the 19-year-old lad who hails from the dear eld city of Tuscaloosa, Ala., will be the one that is to pit his boxing and also slugging ability against that of Bailey. White has been seeking a scrap with Bailey for a long while, and he was officially scheduled to meet the best heavyweight of At- lanta on December 14, but the bout was called off. The Alabama lad, although he has been around for 17 BATTLES ON CAGE LIST OF VIRGINIA Charlottesville, Va., December 22. (Special.)—A schedule of seventeen games, all but five of which are to be played at home. was an- nounced today by Hume Taylor, manager. The team will play two additional games, one of which has been tentatively arranged with Camp Humphries for January 22. A date for February 12;is open. Two of last year’s men are as- sured places on the team. They are Hatcher (Captain), forward, and Hankins, guard. A big string of candidates, practically all of whom Played on last year’s first-year team, have turned out for practice in the Fayerweather gym) and “Pop” Lannigan, coach, is confident that this year’s quintet will be consider- ably faster than the five that aon through the 1919-1920 sched- ule. Proming Players. | The most promising are Carring- ton and Oppleman, forwards; Halli, Blackford and Davis, guafds, and Sexton and Takbot, centers; Gary, who played with V. M. L year be- fore last, and Edmonds, of last year’s Virginia scrubs, are also showing up well. The schedule follows: January 15—Hampden-Sidney, at ome. January 19—Richmond College, at home. 22—Camp January (tentative). January 26—Johns Hopkins, Rich- mond. January 27—Citadel, at home. January 29—Elon, at home. February 1—North Carolina, at home.

Walk Miller, Bailey’s man- ager, said yesterday afternoon that he realized that his youngster would have to face one of the hard- est battles that he has had to put up with in a long time, but he also added that he was anx'‘ous for Bailey to place a knockout on White, as the latter has said that ae would be an easy mark for m. In addition to the Bailey-White g0, a ten-round bout between Larry Avera, lightweight champion of the southern states, and “Jack Demp- sey” Denham, local middleweight will be put on. Avera will give away about twenty pounds in this fight, tut he has proved that he can hold his own with a heavier fighter when he earned a draws last Monday in a Nashville ring with Dutch” Chandler, a man who out- weighed him by eighteen pounds. Denham is a fast boxer and a heavy hitter, and if Avera wants to come out of the fight with a win he will‘certainly have to step around a bit and be sure that he keeps out of Denham’s way. : The opening rout, which is to 4) six rounds, is between two old rivals of long standing. In this bout Kid” Nappy and Young Sullivan will swap punches. This fight should prove a thrill maker, as these boys are enemies of the worst sort. A battle royal, which will be par- ticipated in by five little picka- ninies, will open the show. Tickets for the show will go on sale in a day or two at Chess’ place and at Rex poolroom. e fe incompetence.” BAN LIAR DECLARES FRAZEE New York, December 22.—A state- ment by Ban Johnson and a reply- ing letter frém Harry H. Frazee, owner of the Boston Red Sox, has Shattered the peace of the Ameri- can league into 5,004 and 2-3 frag- ments. Henceforth, Frazee lé¢ts it be known, the councils of the league will be about as tranquil as seven stray bulldogs gnawing one bone in a six feet rat pit. “If youX are quoted correctly in the New York and Boston- papers, saying ‘the American league alwftys has resorted to the. ballot instead of using the usual rotation in of- fice when it was obvious that the rotation system would bring an un- desirahle member to the board of directors,’ you are stating a delib- erate falsefood,” Frazee wrote Johnson. Frazee and Charley Comiskey, of the White Sox, were frozen out of the directorate at the league -elec- tion held here last week. Colonel Jacob Ruppert, their cohort, was elected, but as he would have been hopelessly outnumbered anyway by the opposition members, he refused to sit, and the place was filled with another of Johnson’s friends. Under the rotation system, which has been followed for years, it would have been the turn of Fra- zee and Comiskey to serve on the board. At the last minute it was — to ballot for membDers. “You further state,” Frazee wrote Johnson, “thdt it was best that two members be not brought into the board as they would have wrecked the league. You.knew this to be deliberate lie. It is but further vidence of your gross stupidity and VANDERBILT RAISING FUND AS MEMORIAL — Nashville, Tenn., December 22.— (Special.)—A special drive for the collection of funds subscribed to the Alumni Memorial hall to!’ be erected at Vanderbilt university in memory of forty-three Vanderbilt men who gave their lives in the world war is .being conducted at the present time, next payments being due January 1,1921. This drive is being made with a view of securing sufficient pay- ments in advance to assure the breaking of ground for the proposed hall in time for completion and occupancy at the opening of the scholastic year 1921-1922. The Vanderbilt Alumnus, the monthly publication of the Vander- bilt Alumni association, is publish- ing’ a special ChristmaS issue de- voted to the memorial hall. This issue contrains photographs and sketches of the Vanderbilt men who died in France. A special feature is devoted to the late Lieutenant Irby ‘Rice Curry, better known as “Rabbitt,” star of many a hard- fought grid contest, who lost his life in aerial combat with the Hun. It is planned to begin work on the new hdll as soon as possible. The structure will contain a large gymnasium, ’wimming pool, trophy and club rooms, quarters for the university publications and an as- sembly hall and parlors for uni- vercitey and etudent social functiona According to records compiled re- cently by The New York Herald, football players of southern colleges figured prominently in the marks established by the nation’s griddists during the past season. Players of Dixie have probably done these things in previous years, but cer- tainly not in the last four or five seasons have so many of them topped the football records. The compilations of the New York scribes bring out the fact that Martin, of Henry Kendall college (Oklahoma); Charles Buell, of Har- vard, and Captain (“Buck”) Flow- ers, of Georgia Tech, were the lead- ing field goal kickers of the sea- son. Martain, playing tackle for the little Oklahoma school, booted seven drop kicks, Flowers making six, while Buell sent six through the bars from placement. Flowers Shares’ Honors In Scrimmage Gain. In addition to his drop kicking prowess, Captain Flowers shares with two the noted players of the United States the honor of making the longest scoring run from scrim- mage, a 90-yard affair. The other stars who made similar runs dur- ing the year Were Frank Murrey, of Princeton, and the late George Gipp, of Notre Dame. Flowers made many other long scoring sprints during the season, his most noted ones coming dur- ing the Auburn game, in returning punts from the toe of Ollinger. Mur- rey played a great game through- out the season, being mentioned by seve:ul prominent dopesters for Places on all-American selections. George Gipp was called by death on the same day he was notified his name would appear on Walter Camp’s all-American. “Buck” Cheeves Makes Longest Block Kick Run. “Buck” Cheeves, University of Georgia quarterback, will go down in gridiron history for turning ifn the longest run from a blocked kick —a play that will be remembered for years—when he sprinted 82 yards for the winning touchdown in the Georgia-Alabama game, pick- ing up the pigskin after “Puss” Whelchel had blocked Talty O’Con- nor’s third field goal effort of the afternoon. : It will be recalled that a couple of beautifully executed drop kicks from O’Connor’s trilbies had spelled defeat for the Georgians in the 1919 campaign, and he was being watch- ed hy the Bulldogs, with the re- sult that his three attempts were either blocked or were spoiled by forcin. him to kick before his “line’ had been drawn. It was the second kick during the game that Whelche:* had blocked, both resulting iin touchdowns for the Red and Black. Kicking of Hatcher Places Him at Top. Hatcher, the “Kickingest” player in the Southern Intercollegiate Ath- letic association, who thrilled Dixie with his placement kick of 51 yards, during the Sewanee game, booted his way to fame in the past sea- son, and placed his name at the top in three departments of the kicking pastime. In the first place, this goal from midfield was the longest of the year; then he topped the nation in the matter of the longest punt, an 82-yard slam, and to round out his recorg. the Vol- unteer ilnesman averaged 55 yards in his punting during the game with the Tigers, thus estahlishine three marks for 4920. : But for Russel Fox, of Nort High school, Worcester, Mass., an Ray Ecklund, of Valpariso, Hatch er’s drop kick of 45 yards, made early in the season, might havi gore through for a record, but the\} prep lad steered the oval throug) the bars from the 53-yard line fo the longest drop kick, ang Ecklun followed the next week with ont from the 5l-yard marker.

— es x: 7% ez tiene sienna ay, 4 (= EDITED BY WAHUGGINS -_] NS BY R. L. BARNUM Aid From Big Bankers New York, December 22.—Wall street was shocked immediately Ti cesties ce tisinees this.morning to learn of the failure of BY ber stock exchange firm of Foster & Lounsberry. It was one of the best known and best liked stock exchangé firms in the street. It did ‘business for big people. The direct cause of the failure was the de- f in Texas and Pacific Coal and Oil. The firm acted for a pool in stock, made up of some men whose names are well known ateahont Wall street. Failure to put up margin by big men caused the failure. _ | -& member of the firm stated to your correspondent: “Believe me, we are not holding out a nickle to ride home on.” That is what Wall street believes. Because of this belief, a great deal of sympathy was ‘expressed throughout the financial district for members of .the firm. As far as could be learned today from the firm’s viewpoint it was a Straight, clean failure, and the chances favor a resumption. Had Sensational Career. ‘Texas and Pacific Coal and Oil has had a sensational career dur- _ she the past few years. Before the par $100 shares were split up into ; having a par value of $1 and exchanged ten for one, the selling ‘price was above $2,000 a share. Early this year/the new shares sold at 683-8. Yesterday the price dropped from 331-4 to 293-4, and to- day to 25. After the announcement of the Foster & Lounsberry fail- ure the price advanced. It {is also understood that the firm had been carrying Crucible for customers who were long of that stock. That stock, which sold at 278% last April, sold at 75% yesterday. ft , There was banking support at the opening of the stock market as a result of the uneasiness prevailing over yesterday’s collapse in Vanadium and Replogle. It was learned today on good authorify that yesterday morning a big Wall street bank passed the word that it was going to throw Replogle out of its loan envelopes. Then, around 1 o'clock, or after the 21-point break had occurred, this action was rescinded. *? Replogle Drop Discussed. | “It’s like this,” the head of one of the biggest financial institutions mere said today, in defending the action of the bank that started to throw Replogle out of its loan envelopes. “Suppose you and I were carrying some stock, worth, say 50, With a 25-point margin. That would look safe at the beginning from the viewpoint of the banker. But suppose the price dropped to 25. Naturally, the broker would want more margin, and the banker would not want to lend money on the stock. That is what happened in Replogle, and it is what has been going on in other stocks and in wheat and in corn and in cotton and in commodities of all kinds.” There was a meeting of the directors of the foreign trade corpora- tion formed by J. P. oMrgan & Co. late yesterday. All of the promi- nent men who attended the November meeting of this company, it will be recalled, were asked in turn: “Are there any sore spots?” At ysterday’s meeting the general situation was again discussed, but it was decided that no statement be given out. A statement may come, »however, from the federal reserve board at Washington, asstring , the public that the country’s banking situation is fundamentally sound to the core. In discussing the violent liquidation that has been going on in all directions, one of the big bankers in Wall street told your corre- “spondent today of an interesting story that had been told him just a few’ minutes before by the head of a well-known industrial corpora- tion. The corporatgn head said that he had been in need of a cer- tain material made by another company, and that he had just bought the whole supply owned by the company at a reduction of 55 per cent under the open market price. The way he managed this was to go into the open market and buy up the stock of the company in question. Sinclair Oil Stocks Strong. The stock of the Sinclair Oil company, plus the outstanding notes, were selling in the market today, one banker pointed out, for $140,- 000,000 in round ‘numbers, or less than the actual cash spent on the property during the past eighteen months. W. H. Johnston, president of the International Association of Machinists, has just sent a request to President Wilson to veto the amendment to the transportation act, which would defer until Janu- - sary 1, 1922, the clause which provides for competition when the rail-~ roads are selling securities, placing contracts for construction or pur- | chasing equipment or supplies. Johnston declares. that the amendment to this clause, which was | to have become effective on January 1, 1921, “was slipped through both houses without debate and without the members having had a gent to ascertain what was back of the legislation.” After pointing st that the:amendment will give railroad officials and directors who are personally interested in banking, equipment and construction companies another year of unlimited opportunity to prey upon the public who must foot the bills for the railroads, Johnstn adds: ‘“Re- cent deals between railroads and equipment concerns with which they are allied have come to light. These have involved unwarranted chargesfor repairs of locomotives and cars which will mount up to tens of millions of dollars. This money has been extracted from the public.” . ) Railways’ Secrets Divulged. The clause which Johnston refers was originally part of the Clayton law passed in 1914. It should have become effective long ago, but has been postponeg year after year through the untiring efforts of the railroad and equipment officials. No good business man floats new securities or buys materials or supplies without asking for bids, and there is no good reason why the railroads, as congress de- cided back in 1914, should not do the same thing. For example, in the report on the investigation of the New Haven by the interstate com- merce commission, states: “The New Haven purchased cars almost exclusively from James B. Brady (Diamond Jim), and Mr. Brady, as a witness, made no secret of his generosity to the officials with whom + | . had business. Locomotives were ptrchased from a company in ’ Ywhich a director of the New Haven was also a director. Corporate economy is not practicable where gifts and obligations arising from friendship tend to obscure official duty.” But there is another side to Mr. Johnston’s protest. He neglected to explain that because of the. strangle hold that the labor unions now have on the railroads many companies have recently farmed out re- pairs for the purpose of getting back to a piecework basis. It is no secret that for the past few years the average railway employee has been trying to do as little work as possible for the highest possible pay. The public needs protection from the “Diamond Jims” in labor as well as in capital. Why Thousands of Farmers and Business Men of Geor- gia Need Insurance Pro- tection Immediately In view of the immense shrinkage in the value of cotton, manufactured goods, and practically all stocks of supplies, etc., is it not important for you to consider at once what your appar- ent loss is, and then apply at once for an insurance policy to eover the amount so that in case you should die within the next few months, before values recover, the burden will not fall upon your wife and children or your business? It will certainly relieve your mind wonderfully after you have taken out such a policy and paid the nominal premium, to know that you are covered while you and the rest of us are working out plans to steady the boat by holding tight until the depression passes’ by. Do not neglect this matter for a single day, and write me to give you rates and information, or the name of my near- est agent.

UNGERTAN THEN Partial Recovery Made in Early Trading —Invol- untary Liquidation Is Important Factor. ——— New York, December 22.—The stock market made partial’ recoy- ery in the first half of today’s ses- sion from the sweeping reaction of the previous day, but the uncertain trend later suggested that involun- tary liquidation was still a factor to be reckoned with. Announcement of the’ failure of &@ prominent brokerage house ac- tively identified with the expansion of the metal industry occasioned surprise. The firm's difficulties were primarily ascribed to the call- ne of loans on depreciated collat- eral Other firms and individuals were reported to be experiencing consid- erable embarrassment in meeting the demands of their banks, but the general financia] situation, in its relation to stock exchange loans, was declared to be eminently sound. Dealings fell away somewhat from yesterday’s high record, but the number of individual shares traded in was almost as large, em- bracing a variety of investment is- sues, Many,of which were probably liquidated to establish year-end losses. Shorts were driven to cover just | before the close by a vigorous re- bound in several o the leaders, no- tably Mexican Petroleum, Reading and United States Steel, related is- sues also retrieving much of their loss of the mid-session. Net losses of 3% to 6 points were made by’ Texas Pacific Coal and Iron, United States Rubber and Replogle Steel, the latter at no time making more than a feeble rally from yesterday's spectacular de- scent. Sales amounted to 1,400,000,- 000 shares. Money and foreign exchange were steady, but exerted no appreciable influence over the stock market. Included in the day’s additional gold imports was a consignment of $1,300,000 from Sweden and a nom- {nal sum from London. Bonds were again affected by the strain upon stocks, many domestic and foreign Issues easing, although some of the Liberty group im- proved. Total sales, par value, $27,- 500,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call. IN STOGK MARKET =. Beth. Motors Still Considered Very | seoarieh Rub. (“Orme socks” Quotations by Imbrie & Ce. (Members N. Y.

Chicago, December 22.—Unsettled financial conditions had a beagish effect today on the wheat market. Prices closed nervous at 1-2 to 21-2 cents-lower, with March $1.60 3-4 to $1.61 and May $1.57 1-4 to $1.57 1-2. Corn lost 7-8 to 11-2c and oats 5-8 to 11-4c. In provisions the out- come was unchanged to 17c higher. Lack of confidence in the buying side of the wheat market was large- ly associated with the disturbance of security values in Wall street, and particularly with the failure of & New York brokerage house. De- pression in the cotton market was also an evident bearish factor as tu wheat, and so likewise was the ab- scence of any big export buying. Various rallies took plate, but they seemed due mainly to shorts cover- ing and to be of a transient char- acter, ntowithstanding prediction current here of a revival of business and of greater industria] activity in the near future. Some selling of wheat to go into store here was re- ported and there were deliveries to- day of 115,000 bushels on December contracts. _. Notice that a large manufacturer | of corn saadinate woulda close its | plants until after the holidays was @& special weakening influence in the corn market. Besides receipts were heavier. Oats sagged with corn. Higher quotations on hogs gave consider- able firmness to provisions. CHICAGO QUOTATIONS. Following were the ruling prices on the exchange Wednesday: Prev. Open. High. Low.

LIEUT. KIRKPATRICK SEEKING NEW RECORD New York, December 22.—Lieu- tenant Ross C. Kirkpatrick, army Pilot, took the air yesterday from Mitchell field, Long Island, with one companion in an attempt to break the world’s record for endurance flying.

LEWIS IS RECEIVED BY HOME-TOWN PEOPLE San Jose, Cal., December 22.—Ed (“Strangler”) Lewis, world’s cham- pion -heavyweight wrestler, was given a home-coming reception here on his arrival from New York, where he last week took the cham- pionship from Joe Stecher. He-is San Jose’s first world’s champion, and the citizens made much of the occasion, Lewis was presented with a handsome silver cup and was in- duced to make an address of ac- ceptance. After admitting “that as an orator” he was “a good wrest- ler,” Lewis told the crowd which gathered to do him honor, that he valued the esteem of his townsmen more than the championship.

The state-. ment yesterday of Chairman Ford- ney of the ways and means commit- tee in support of a.sales tax, it was. said today, had given impetus to the proposal. While most members of the ways and means committee say that they To Canvass City For PlagueFund $10,000 Supplementary Fund Expected to Be Raised in Intensive Drive for Contributions Today. Dorsey Makes Appeal. Despite rain and cold and busi- ness depression talk, despite early apathy toward their cause this year, the Anti-Tuberculosis Association of Atlanta is going out today and the members won’t come back until the $10,000 supplementary fund asked is raised. Governor Hugh M. Dorsey Wed- make a final whirlwind campaign of personal solicitation throughout Atlanta. Each person named on this committee will name his or her own associates, and they will get busy Thursday morning early and stay at work until Thursday ay TH, On this committee are R. K. m- bo, J. J. Ragan, Jack Knowlton, W. Frank Dac.., R. A. Magill, Julian Boehm, W. L. McCalley, W. W. Orr and Mrs. Beaumont Davison. The Advertising Club of Atlan- ta is going to do its part in this wind-up. George Lowman has charge of the club’s end of the canvass, that the club would be all there in the final reports. Spe..king of the final phases of the drive, Hugh Willett, president of the association, said Wednesday: “We realize that there are hun- dreds of people in the city who would be glad to contribute liber- ally to our work if they were ap- ot with the proposition,” he aid Wednesday morning. “Since we have not been able to reach these personally, we have decided to write a@ letter to them, inclosing one of the health bonds, go that they can make their remittance to us by mail. Those who receive these bends | are asked to underwrite the amount, | even though they may be unable to contribute the amount asked.

Iotns- child of New York, and Otto H. Kahn, New York banker, presented arguments in favor of a sales tax. Mr. Kahn said that while a sales tax would be an experiment to an extent it was one which should be made. Several members of the com- mittee declared his arguments in fa- ji vor of the proposal had been very convincing.” ) Committee members who are out and out against the sales tax and who describe it as an economic crime, assert that the arguments in its favor will be dissipated once the consumer is arroused to the effect; it will have. They declared it to be nesday issued a statement calling attention to the work of the Atlan- ta Anti-Tuberculosis association and urging all citizens to contribute to the fund which is now open for contributions, Wednesday the new campaign of the ‘association was launched when 1,500 letters were mailed to 1,500 well .selected public citizens. Each one ofethese letters carried an in- closure of a health bond, the amount for which the citizen was expected to subscribe being written thereon. The check for this amount is sup- posed to be the reply and.the more prompt the remittance the better them in a subscription, can be quickly reached.” At this Christmas season the hearts our people should go out to the sufferers disease, tuberculosis, who are in our midst, and their pocket books of that dreadful should be opened to support the work the Atlanta Anti-Tuberculosis magnificent work is being carried on.
