The Report In Full.
The full report of the grand Jury Is:
We. the grand Jury empaneled and
morn for the 1911 term of the Fulton
county court beg leave to submit here
with, our report.
IVo have .understood that It was not
Incumbent upon us to make any general
presentments, so will report only on
matters that have come to our atten
tion In the administration of matters
brought before u».
Raffling.
Complaint was made to us that rat
tling, In direct violation of the state
laws, was being carried on In the coun
ty. We are pleased to report that
with the co-operation of Chief Rowan,
of the county police, and Chief Beav
ers, of the city police, each of whose
diligence In this matter we desire to
commend, this has baen entirely
•tupped so far as we can learn.
Wc investigated the practice most
thoroughly and found It ws# doing
great harm, especially among the boys,
and further, that it was working a se
rious hardship on the large number of
merchants who. had not resorted to such
devices to Increase tbelr trade
We recommend the rigid enforcement
Of this law In future without any ex
ception whatever. It Is gaming and
comes directly under the provision of
the state laws.
Prohibition and Sunday Tippling.
Tour honor charged us to look into
the observance of the prohibition law
and the Sunday tippling law by the
Imker clubs. We are of the opinion
that both of these are being violated
by many of the clubs. We are further
"f the opinion that our police authori
ties could reduco the violation to r
minimum by taking prompt steps to In
vestigate these clubs, and by making
such investigations at frequent Inter
vals.
Wc recommend to the .succeeding
xrand Jury a careful Investigation of
these, as we are convinced that It Is
an evil that Is growing rapidly, and
one that can be easily checked by the
proper authorities.
Crime
Wc have* been startled by the large,
and what seems to us growing, amount
of crime brought before the various
courts of this city and county We have
noticed the close relationship between
'he pawnbroker and thief and between
the "pistol toter" and the murderer.

-hiry that have been brought before

shops attached to them; Ik was made

Washington, Dao. 28.—The steel
schedule of the Payne tariff law prob
ably will be the first to be revised by
the Democratic houac, according lo
chairman Underwood, of the ways and
means committee, who returned to
Washington today. Underwood Indi
cated that the rate of the proposed re
vision would closely follow the steel
bill of last session, which reduced from
B0 to 40 per cent the present duties on
steel.
Chairman Underwood also said the
sugar and chemical schedules may be
revised before the house takes up the
wool bill.
"We will not get the report of the
tariff board from the government print
ing office until about January 10,” said
Underwood. “It will take several weeks
to check the report and I don't see how
we can report a wool bill before some
time In February. I predict the steel
schedule will be revised In the house
during the next month and we will
probably dispose of the sugar and
chemical schedules before the wool bill
Is ready.” . , _
Chairman Underwood said the Demo
crats are willing to go to the country on
a tariff for revenue bill. He was not In
clined, he said, to take stock in reports
that the free raw wool Democrats would
make a hard fight to take all the duty
off raw wool. It la understood the chair,
man still favors a duty on raw products
and he probably will have hla way.

Attorney* for Charles W. Morae de
dared Thursday morning that If further
denials were forthcoming from Super
intendent of Prisons Ladow and War
den Moyer, who -had taken it upon
themselves to deny stories of Morse's
treatment at the time hB was placed In
'Itary confinement In a dungeon and
i*r facta connected with Morse’s In
carceration, they believed It would be
necessary for the entire facta to be
mode public by congress thru an open,
public Investigation.
In this event a resolution asking for
this will be introduced in congress.
Attorney# for Morse and his friends
are non- convinced that false reports
have been made to the attorney gpnerul
and the president regarding Morse's
condition, and when Warden Moyer ami
Superintendent Ladow atteinpted to
deny things which were postlttvely
known In Atlanta to be true. It was
determined. If necessary, to have a con
gressional probe lay bare the facts.
Sent to Solitary Call.
At the time Morse was sent to soli
tary confinement on bread and water,
for giving a sick boy prisoner about
to be discharged a paltry sum of mon
ey, every effort was made by Warden
Moyer to keep the story from being
made public. The facts leaked out, and
then tlie warden gave out an "official"
statement of what had taken place.
This statement, however, coincided
practically with what had been printed
about It at the time.
Prisoners In solitary confinement are
fed on broad and water. Dispatches
from Washlggton quoto Warden Moyer
and Ladow as denying this.
At.the time he gave out ills "official
statement, Warden Moyer, while not
admitting that Morse—even then a sick
man—waa fed on bread and water, said
the noted prisoner did not get anything
but that “he could have had something
If he wanted It."
The Fact* in the Case.
■ Aa a matter of fact Morse wa* given
tha regulation diet of bread and water
and he did not have the "cenvenlence*
of all other prisoners,’ as declared
Wednesday In LaDow's denial. Hla bed
consisted of an Iron-slatted affulr
hinged on the walla nnd he had no bed
clothing. Moree slept on these iron
alata the best he could, with Ills coat
rolled- up under him. When he wus
finally taken out of this solitary dun
geon It waa upon the order of the prison
physician, and he was removed to the
hospital, passing blood from Ills kid
neys in an attack of Bright's disease.
Notwithstanding the fact that aur
scons have decided that Morse's condi
tion Is grave, It la believed that certain
officials have tried to counteratt these
reports, and It Is believed that these
efforts have b*en the result of personal
prejudice.

that tha report was In the nature of a

"Our hands are tied.” he said. "We

unless It Is given out at Washington."

With the malls still clogged with en
try blanks, with none of Thuraday'a
mall In hand yet, and with none of the
Northern and Kuatern breeders hc-t: 1
from thus far, the entry list fc- the
Great Central' Poultry Show of the
South has already passed the high- •
water mark of laHt year. More^than
200 entrants have thua far been "heard
from nnd more than 2,1)00 birds en
tered. And ns yet the start haa hardly
been made. Before tho last scattering <
entries arc rounded up the entry Is
likely to everton all Southern records,
('. O. Harwell, secretary of the Geor
gia Poultry association, was out of tho
city Thursday, judging a poultry allow
at Winder, Ga., and for that reaaon the
entrlea received In Atlanta Thursday
have not yet been placed In the hangs
of Acting Secretary Reynolds. But
counting those which arrived up to the
time of the last delivery Wednesday, .
all old marks had been shattered.
It la only a question now of where on
earth all the birds are to be put.
The verdict or the members of t ■
Georgia Poultry association who gath
ered from time to time at the heud- .
quarter# of tha association Thursday
morning for a brief jubilation meeting
was that th# entry would be the most’
representative in the history of the as
sociation. It Is already certain that It
will number the very best of tho prize
winners at previous Southern shows.
But more than this, It will be notable
for the exhibits made by pouitrymro
who have never hitherto ahown In any
event. •
All the popular classes have alrr.idy
been well filled by the entries thua far -
received and recorded. There Is not a
well known variety of fowl but will ho
represented with u strong showing. And
more than that, there will be strong
exhibits of unusual breeds.
For Instance, J. W. Dalhouse, of At
lanta. has put In an entry of Jungln
Pit Games; Ml’S. (7. A. Blalock, of linl-
Inckvllle, Ga., has entered some Blue
Leghorns; the Buttercup Poultry Farm,
of Bedford City, Va., haa entered a
number of Sicilian Butercups. Thoso
are only a few of the odd and unum il
varieties that will be on exhibition.
The entry of J. C. Flshei & Son has
been received. These moat famous
breeders of White Wyandotte# hava
named ten single birds and one pen and
naturally they will be the very tin- <t
of the breed. The presence of the
Flshei birds, along with the very best
In the South, aaaures me moat ton:.I
sort of competition In this class.
The Mottled Ancona entry Is already
strong; In fact, an extremely surprising
number have already beep named and
the strength of this class In number#
will make it rank close to the White In
dian Runner duck entry, which wilt Im
the largest ever made at any allow.
The turkey division is filling well nnd
there will be a fine lot of Mammon. 1\
Bronzes on exhibit when the doors aro
thrown open.
The entry of'birds raised by children,
for S, B. Turman's Hexagon real estato
prize. Is especially large And this ex- SI
hlblt will be of particular interest. T 1
limited to.birds raised by children un
der fifteen. It will contain some bird*,
that could make a good showing In tho
open classes of any average show.
It Is expected that Secretary Harw . II
will be in Atlanta Friday and at that JJ
time the entries will be carefully check
ed thru and some authoritative line oh- •
talned on the exact number of entries.
In the meantime the members of th# '
Georgia Poultry association arc Jubilant m
In the knowledge that ail previous rec- ’
ords have been broken and that their
eighth annual show will be the best by .JH
far that they have ever held.
