MACON, Aug. 14.—H. D. Pollard,
general manager of the Central/ of
Georgia Railway; E. J. Roth, gen
eral manager of the Fruit Growers
Express, Washington, D. ~ and F.
B. Parrish, general southeastern man
ager of the Truit Growers Express,
made a tour of the biggest shipping
points of the peach belt yesterday
nfternoon to determine what s
necessary to give the growers more
efficient service next season,
" Just what will come out of the
tour could not be ascertained last
night, but it was hinted that more
ice storage houses and more track
age facilities may be expected for
the coming season.
That there will be no ice famine
in Midle Georgia, as experienced this
vear, was indicated hy members of
the party, which would lead to the
belief that a big ice storage pro
ject is on foot in addition to the big
ice storage plants of the Atlanic Ice
and Coal Corpration here, at Fort
Valley and other points.
While the peach season wias at
its height this season the ice supply
gave out and the Fruit Growers Ex
press had tQ comb the Sountheast for
ice. Shipments were received from
points as far away as Memphis and
Evansville, Ind.,, these requiring
special trains. 5
Plans Not Divulged... .. _.
Mr. Polard would not discuss the
Idans for the fruit trade, but he ip
dicated that the needs of the ship
vers would receive every attention
from the Central of Georgia Railway.
“There isn't anything radically
wrong with the peach orchards,’”’
said, Mr. Pollard. “‘lt’s a money crop
for Gergians and will continue to be,
thorgh the growers did not make
money out of it this year, A better
system of distribution has got to bhe
worked out. There is something
wrong when peaches are selling at
$1.25 a crate in New York and the
consumer has to pay $1 for one-sixth
of that crate. I know of such in
stances,
“That is a matter for the growers
to work ont, and I believe that they
will work it out in time. More ad

THE CORDELE DISPATCH
RUHR DEADLOCKS
- LONDON DELEGATES
TWO 'CONFERENCES FAIL TO
FIND SOLUTION AND PRE
MIERS WILL MEET AGAIN TO
DAY. .
LONDON Aug. 14.—After two con
ferences lasting five hours, the
French and German delegates to the
international conference tonight still
were deadlocked on the question of
the time to be alloted for the military
exacuation of the Ruhr, and it was
decided that Premier Herriot of,
France; Chancellor Marx, of Ger
many; Premier Theunis, of Belguim,
and their associates would meet a
gain tomorrow morning in another
effort to reach an agreement.
Louis Loucheur and several other
French political leaders are in Lon
don conferring with M. Herriot, and
the German delegation is of the opin
ion that these men have induced the
French preminer to stiffen up his pol
icy as he seems more adamant in his
contention that a year‘s time must
be left for the evacuation, than when
he reurned from Paris on Monday.
During today’s conference, the
French and Belgians waived their
claim to maintain their nationals on
the German railways. Agreements
also were reached on the amnesty
question and on other minor matters.
At the conclusion of the confer
ence this afternoon, M. Herriot said:
“We are in the midst of negotia
tions Which are progresing normal
ly and which will be continved to
morrow,
The Germans were not so calm in
their estimate of the negotiations,
which Foreign Minister Stresemann
regards as being in a critical state.
Prime Minister McDonald, of Eng
land, and the other conference lead--
ers are standing ready to lend any
assistance possible to the three ne
gotiating powers, or rather to the two
contending powers, as the Belgian
rezlly are not a party to the bitter
controversy.
The Americans have let it be
known that they are anxious to ren
der any possible assistance if the
rrincipals in the controversy desire
outside intervention of any sort.
