JAPANESE EXPEL
CHINESE COOLIES
Toklo, Sept. 3.—Japan Is now exclud
ing and expelling Chinese coolie labor
for the same reason that the United
States refuses admission to tho Jap
anese coolies, because they work for
lower wages than native laborers.
The regulation, which was made at
the time of the negotiation of tho
treaty with tho United States, giving
each nation full control over foreign
laborers was applied last Sunday when
nfty coolies who had been hired to
work on government railroads were
prevented from landing at Kobe. Under

their admission to tho country has
been legally authorized, may be ex
pelled.

Instead of the prospect of.a two-mil
lion-bale cotton crop In Georgia, Con)
mlssloner of Agriculture Hudson Is of
tho opinion that not more than a mil
Hon and a half bales will be gathered
now.
According to Commissioner Hudson
the cotton crop has deteriorated 10 to
10 per cent within the past three or
four weeks. Commissioner Hudson Is
not a pessimist, but he has been
practical farmer all of his life and
knows conditions pretty well over the
state.
The great slump in the outlook for
a big crop Is due to the lack of mois
ture during a large part of August—
the month In which rain la absolutely
necessary to mature the crop.
"Tho cotton crop was a full month
late this year, owing to. the backward
spring," said Commissioner Hudson
Tuesday. "Though late, when the
crop got a good start It grew vigorous
ly and fruited well. When the drouth
came on. It found the plant at Its ten-
derest stage. Tho stalks were full
fruited, and the prospects wero better
In Georgia than any other cotton-grow
ing state.
"But now you can travel almost
anywhere In Georgia, and the cotton
llelds look like Are had swept them.
The plant about half way down from
the top Is scorched, and bolls and
squares and blooms have fallen off.
The bolls below are opening prema
turely. You can not appreciate condi
tions unless you travel over the state
a bit. And there Is no way to remedy
this state of affairs. Rain won’t help
now, because the plant haa shed Its
fruit, and won't grow new fruit this
late.”

In a revolver duel on tho back porch
of her home Mrs: E. G. Hutchlaon ex
changed several shots with a man
shortly before 9 o’clock Monday night
and, ’she believes, wounded him.
Mrs. Hutchison does not think the
mar. was a burglar. She says she
convinced that ho was a relative of
her husband. His family opposed their
marriage and. have been bitter toward
her ever since she was wedded to him.
Mr. Hutchison Is out of the city and
It was Mrs. Hutchison's plan to Join
him In South Carolina Wednesday.
She says she Is of the opinion thnt
some one learned of .this and planned to
kill her to prevent her from going to
him.
She was alone In her home, 457 Bass
street, excepting for her 5-year-old
son. Monday night. Just before the
shooting he asked for a drink of wa
ter and she took a-lamp and went out
on tho back porch. This porch Is in
closed with lattice work and tho door
was locked. Sho had placed the lamp
on the Icebox and was drawing wa
ter from the refrigerator faucet when
a man spoke almost at her elbow:
"Unlock this door or I’ll kill you," he
said.

She turned to see the barrel of a re
volver pointing toward her through tho
lattlco work. Instantly she drew n re
volver from: hor apron pocket and fired
twice. As she did so the lamp was ex
tinguished -and the man Bred. She
heard him fall and believes she wound
ed him, but The police failed to And any
sign of blood on the steps.
Officers Adams and Wilson heard
the shots and hurried to the scene-
Mrs. Hutchison was able to give a good
description of the man, for she says
she saw him plainly In spite of the'
lattice.
Mrs. Hutchison explained having the
revolver by saying that her husband
had made her promise never to go
even from one room to another In the
house at night without carrying the
weapon. Sho says that she was not
five feet from the man when they ex
changed shota and she cannot under
stand how he escaped with his life. His
bullets, ns shown by tho marks they
left, went wide.

ate and to factful as the farmers of
America.
"And yet I feel that I should be less
than loyal to you and to myself If I
did not challenge your self-respect and
your Individual and professional pride
In the magnificent advance which your
great representative organization has
made among the coherent forces of the
world. There Is not today In the re
public In which we live any one body
of men engaged In a single profession
whose motives are so clear, whose
plans are so coherent, whose unity Is
so perfect and Inspiring, and whose
numbers are so magnificent as the
Farmers’ Union of America.
"It Is utterly Impossible to believe
that such an organization could have
been founded out of such element, upon
any other basis than that of wisdom
and Justice and truth, and the fact
that we aro today, as we are, foremost
among tho organizations of the repub
lic In which xve live. Is a'Joint proof of
the wisdom and the forecasting Judg
ment of tho principles upon which we
are founded, and of tho Intelligent loy
alty and splendid fidelity of the great
body of the people whom we repre
sent."
In closing his address, Mr. Barrett
said:
'And In this great organization In
which all sections are.mingled on equal
terms, and In which there Is In fact
and In theory no North, no Soutl), no
East and no IVest, let us resolve that
we will In all the regions of country
from which we come preserve the Ideals
of good citizenship and the honor of
the government, and that we shall so
live and so labor and so legislate that
the time eholl never come when we
shall blush to look upon the flag of
our country or fall to realize that lie
stars and Its stripes wave above an
honest, a united and a patriotic peo
ple.
"We are today happily united with
no division In our ranks, but hero It
might be well to Inform you that In
effecting harmony and the organization
of four etate unloDs and starting the
work In several other states and terri
tories, that our expen.es have been
heavy, made so by circumstances over
which we had no control. To inustrate,
in effecting-this harmony and organi
sation. It was necessary for me to
(which I have) travel, more than thlr-
ty-flvejthousand miles. This, of Itself,
has cost money, but I am glad to say
that the expense Is but a small Item
when considered from the viewpoint of
the great good that hns been done In
effecting organization and bringing all
factions to terms of organic unity.
Therefore. I feel Justified In making
this prophecy, that henceforth, we will
have no reason for any more dlsscn-
lons among us, and that the condi
tions now will warrant a less expendl-
money In the future In effect
ing our work."

Commissioners Consider
Two Plans For Court

Two plans for raising the funds for
the county’s share In tho now city hall
and court house are being considered
by the county commissioners, who meet
Wednesday to fix tho county tax rate
for tne coming year.
Either the old tax rate of 50 cents

3300,000 for tho court house raised by
a bond Issue at n later date, or a
•*”“'«* centa on *100 fixed
and 3100,000 of tho court house money
raised by direct taxation, with like
sums the next two years, nl the end
of whloh time It la expected that the

The dying man Is said by the police
to be the head of one of the most des
perate gangs of kidnapers that ever
Invaded New York. There Is slight
chance for his recovery, the physicians
at Bellevuo Hospital say. The three
men had systematically blackmailed
Clro Arrobone, a Wealthy barber, and
he finally appealed to the police.
So great was the excitement and
fright In tho streot that the reserves
had to be called out before order was
restored. The other two prisoners

According to the police, they took

him.
be raised by a 50-cent tax on the to
tal taxable property, which, according
to the digest, nmounts to 373,164.863.
Another 3100,000 for the court house
would make the rate about 65 cents.
Tho act passed by the legislature en
ables the county to call a bond elec
tion for 3300,000 In bonds. However,
It Is hardly believed that- this would
carry, as the registration this year was
unusually large, owing to the prohibi
tion agitation, and It would be dlfil-
cult to bring out a two-thirds vote.
Then the county commissioners can
hardly wait until in election is called,
held and decided before fixing the tve
rate.
Direct taxation for a period of three
years seems to be the most likely
method, although the opinions of the
commissioners nro not known. One of
them stated that he had not Investi
gated the matter. This would Indicate
that thero will be several meetings
before the rate Is finally fixed.
