Washington, July 11.—President
Harding in a proclamation issued at
the White House late tonight direct
ed “all persons to refrain from ail
interference with the lawful efforts
to maintain interstate transportation
and the carrying of the United
States mails.”
In the proclamation which was
issued after a day in which con
tinued reports had reached the post
office department of interference by
railroad strikers with mail trains,
Ithc president invited the co-opcra
’tion of all public authorities, state
' and municipal, and the “aid of all
good citizens” to uphold the laws
and to “facilitate those operations in
safety which are essential to life
and liberty, and the security of
property and our common public
welfare.'*
The president took the position
that the men willing to maintain
the operation of railroad trains in
order to transport mail have the
“same indisputable right to work
.that others have to decline to work.”
The peaceful settlement of contro
versies between shop crafts em
ployes and carriers, it was stated,
“in accordance with law and due re
ject for the established agencies
for such settlement are essential to
the security and well being of our
people.”
President Harding was occupied
throughout the evening with the pre
paration of the proclamation, de
laying his dinner one hour in order
to ‘go over the first transcript. He
returned to the executive offices
after dinner and remained there un
til the proclamation was made pub
lic about 10:40 p. in.

TELLS OF CHEMICAL
FOUNDATION AFFAIR
Former Alien Property Cus
todian Appears to Testify
as to Potent Rights and
Other Matters.
Washington.— Appearance today
of Francis I*. Garvan, former alien
properly custodian and now head of
the Chemical Foundation, Inc., be
fore the Special war frauds grand
jury was said in official circles to
have inaugurated a sweeping inquiry
into every act of the custodian’s of
fice from its inception.
it was emphasized by the same of
ficials that the investigation was de
signed primarily to establish finally
Ihc legality of the custodian's acts
and to remove any ground for con
tinued criticism levelled against the
office if such criticism has been un
justified.
A grand jury investigation was
declared by the officials to be the
only method provided for in the
American system of government, to
clear up definitely the controversy.
Formal assurance that “every
American interest” in the dye pat
ents sold hv the alien property cus
todian in 101!) to the Chemical Foun
dation, will he protected by the gov
ernment, was made today by Attor
ney General Daugherty.
Denying that any person connect
ed with the department of justice
had had any communication with
German interests or individuals re
garding recovery of the patents, Mr.
Daugherty’s statement reiterated
that in moving to recover them from
the foundation, the department was
merely carrying out instructions
( from President Harding.
The statement was interpreted as
having reference to charges made by
Francis P. Garvan who handled the
sale as the then custodian, subse
quently assuming the presidency of
the foundation- to the effect that
the demand for return of title to
the patents bad been actuated by
German influence.
Mr. Garvan turned over to the
jury he records of the foundation.
He said later arrangements had been
made to permit inspection of the
books by representatives of the de
partment of justice.
Prior to going before the grand
jury, Mr. Garvan said, he had re
fused a demand of Assistant Attor
ney General Grim for permission to
inspect the hooks on the ground that
be would not open them to “Ger
manic influence.”
Attorney General -Daugherty, ques
tioned concerning Mr. Garvan’s
charges that Gaston B. Means was
associated with the department of
justice in connection with the Chem
ical Foundation matter, said that he
would not discuss Mr. Means.
“Mr. Means,” he said, “seems to
have the ill-will of lots of people,
and I think I know the reason.”
In reply to further questions as
to whether Mr. Means had been sus
pended from the staff of the bureau
of investigation of the department,
Mr. Daugherty said. “I have not said
that I suspended Mr. Means.”
Fate of Hague
Parley Matter
of a Few Days
The Hague.—The developments
of the next few clays will determine
whether the conference on Russian
prohlnis will collapse this week or
continue for another month or so.
Such is the impression tonight
among all the delegates, including
the Russians.
The French and Belgian delegates
especially adhering to the policy of
their countries at Genoa, are con
vinced that unless the bolshevik at
titude on the restitution of prop
erty shows radical change no good
can be achieved by pursuing the dis
cussions with tlie Russians, who
will again he asked whether they in
tend to restore the confiscated prop
erty. If they admit the principle of
restoration, the details of a com
promise can then be negotiated,
ted.
Leonid Krassin is laboring inde
fatigable to save the conference.
Tlie European delegates appreciate
M. Krassin’s mediation and openly
admire his courage in trying to
moderate the firm position of his
more radical fellow communists on
tlie question of nationalized foreign
property, it is admitted that his ac
tivities may incur disfavor at Mos
cow.
it was agreed at a long meeting
of the chiefs of the European dele
gations today that they call upon
the Russians to make clear to what
extent and under what practical con
ditions they will return the seized
property in Russia to the former
owners. The questions embody a
virtual ultimatum.

BILL INTRODUCED FOR
STATE BONUS TO ALL
WORLD WAR VETERANS
Representative Bentley of Fulton County Would Raise
Bonus Money by Tax on Lubricating Oils —Fight Over
Highway Department Takes Most of Day In House.
Atlanta, July 11.—The House of
Representatives today spent its time
in committee of the whole, hearing
accusations against and defense of
the state highway department. The
business before the house w r as the
question of adoption of the resolu
tion offered by McMichacl of Mar
ion, the first day of the session,
that the report of the minority
members of last year’s investigat
ing committee be made the sense of
the house, and in committee of the
whole it came over from last Friday
as unfinished business.
Representative Carswell speaking
on the subject today for the first
time, suggested that the whole argu
ment was, to him, much like a dis
cussion between the Methodists and
Baptists over the question of bap
tism; that is “there is a whole lot
of talk by both sides and nobody
is being convinced of anything by
it.” He suggested that, in order to
prevent further waste of time, the
keeper of the building be asked to
turn on the lights at night and “let
the gentlemen conic up here and
make speeches among themselves
until they get their speeches out of
their system, and let the balance of
us proceed with the work of the
house in the daytime.”
The whole debate today developed
into form of factionulistic fighting
certain members strongly and at
times hotly defending the highway
department while others just as
heatedly and strongly fought
against any continuation of the
present system.
Mr. McMichael’s figures and cita
tions in reference to the waste of
money by the highway department
was strongly criticised, particularly
by Representatives Arnold and Mann
though a number of other members
attacked them. Mr. Mann declared
the charge by him that the majority
report of last year was unfair to
the minority, and the majority sup
pressed the rights of the minority in
the investigation of the highway* de
partment is incorrect and without
substantial foundation. He declared
both the minority report and the
attack on the highway department,
which Mr. McMichacl is leading, arc
woefully prejudiced and baised
and that Mr. McMiehaels fight is
injuring the state of Georgia in its
important road developmnt pro
gram. Mr. Mann entered into a
general defense of the highway de
partment and cautioned against any
partisan or prejudiced action on the
part ot the legislature which, he
said, would be capculated to further
injure the state.
Mr. Arnold especially attacked the
letter read last week by Mr. Mc-
Michael, charging that* Engineer
Crossland has received a fee of $15.-
000 on the matter of the deal where
by the state bought Klbcrton rock
quarry, and charged that the infor
mation came from an “ex-employee”
of the state highway department,
the ferencc clearly laid down bv Mr.
Arnold being that the gentle man
who wrote the letter Mr. McMichacl
read was seeking to injure members
ot the highway department because
the writer of the letter had been
dismissed from his job.
Representative Beckham of Dough
erty, seeking to bring the contest
to an end, offered a resolution that
both the majority and the minority
committee reports, as the basis o‘f
the McMichacl resolution, be re
ceived by the house as information,
and this later was substituted by a
much shorter resolution to the same
end by Representative Carswell, the
sens of which was simply that both
rports be received as information
and the committee of the whole be
discharged. Th house adopted that
resolution and the fight ended with
no point gained after the three days
which have been spent in consider
ation of the matter, and no advance
having been made on any form of
highway legislation.
It would appear, however, that the
net result of tell arguments pro and
can has been to somewhat clarify

Justice Seeger Rules for His
Release on Bond of $50,-
000.
White Plains, N. Y, July It.—Wal
ter S. Ward, who has been held in
the Westchester County jail for tlie
past 20 days on an indictment
charging him with first degree mur
der of Clarence Peters, a former
sailor, was released late today in
$50,000 bail by Supreme Court Jus
tice Seeger, although the court re
fused to dismiss the indictment.
Mrs. Willard Curtis, Ward’s moth
er-in-law. who was sought for weeks
in New Rochelle, by subpoena-serv
ers without success, sat through the
the hearing beside her daughter and
left witli Ward’s party without any
attempt being made to serve her.
According to Ralph I); Ward, broth
er of the defendant, Mrs. Curtis has
been living quietly in New Rochelle
with her daughter all the time.
Justice Seeger, in announcing his
decision to admit the wealthy de
fendant to hail said no evidence had
been submitted to prove that Ward
acted o'.her than in self-defense or
that the crime, had been one of de
liberation.
Though dirty milk is said to be

the sentiment in respect to the high
way department, but not to end the
fight on that department for the
session.
Among the new legislation which
was offered today is a bill by Bent
ley, of Fulton, provide that the sen
ate pay a bonus of sl2 per month,
for each month or fraction of serv
ice, to all men of this state who en
tered the army, navy or marine serv
ice in the war against Germany and
Austria. He proposed to raise the
necessary money for the payment
of such a bonus by imposing a spe
cial license tax of 8 cents per gallon
on all lubricating oils used by au
tomobiles or other motor apparatus,
and 2 cents per pound on all lubri
cating greases used by them. The
I adjutant general of the state would
pass on the amount to he awarded
each man and the qualification of
the applicant, as well as to make
rules for the distribution of the
bonus fund. The entire fund would
he in the custody of the comp
troller general, the special tax to
be paid quarterly, as the gasoline
tax is now paid, and the payment
of tin* fund to he apportioned among
the service men the first day of
each January, beginning with Jan
uary. 1 !)23. The hill would become
effective upon passage and ap
proval.
Messrs. Brown, of Emanuel, and
Lankford, of Toombs, have offered
a bill to reduce the automobile tag
charges exactly 50 per cent, cutting
the basis of charge from til) to'2o
cents per house power, and mak
ing the charge for a tag for small
cars, up to 23 horse power $6 instead
of $11.50. Mr. Lankford also of
fers a bill to abolish the office of
special attorney to the state rail
road commission.
Messrs. Moey, Mundv, Mclntyre,
Ennis and Woodward jointly intro
duced a bill providing that a I ward
of control of five members, to be
appointed by the governor, with the
approval of the senate, substitute
the present lrtiards of trustees of
the University of Georgia and its
branches, to include the district A.
& M. Colleges as well.
Mr. Fowler, of Bibb, offered a bill
to authorize the governor to appoint
policemen on railroads when re-
j quested by the proper railroad au
thorities to do so.
In belli branches of the assem
! lily efforts will he made tomorrow
[ to expediate the capitol removal bill
reaching its final vote in both
branches by a movement to have
tile bill read tlie second time and
j recommitted to the committee. Con
ferences were held today to that
end and an amicable agreement was
reached between tlie liildi and Ful-
I ton delegations. That step does
[not change the status of the meas
ure in either house, except to place
!it in position, immediately I hat it
J has been handled by the senate and
house committees which have it in
charge, to lie placed up for imme
diate action when the report is
made, if the two contending sides
i decide that shall he done. I litis
I there appears to have been a spirit
of harmony and understanding be
tween both the delegations handl
ing tlie efforts for and against the
hill. While it was understood be
fore the session convened, and so
stated by Governor Hardwick, that
he would ask the legislature to dis
pose of the matter this year by
sending it to a tinal and conclusive
vote, no mention has yet been made
of it by the governor in any of his
legislative papers. Some of tlie
members have sought to make it ap
pear that the governor is especially
desirous that the measure be "killed
i nthe legislature,” in order that it
not be allowed lo get into the cam
paign this year, but at no time has
that been understood by leaders on
either side to be tile governor’s po
sition nor has he so stated it in
any of the several public utterances
oil the subject.
COFFEE AND WALNUTS
Mr. C. F. Wates, who lives six
miles from Louisville, has a Japan
ese walnut tree that is a curiosity.
It is 20 or 30 feet high and looks
much like a pecan tree, only that
the leave# are larger. The nuts are
as large as small hickory nuts and
grow, eight or ten in a cluster. The
nuts are hard and require a ham
mer to crack them. It is a hand
some tree, and looks well in a front
yard. It is only a few years old and
will evidently make a large tree.
Another thing that is interesting
is his crop of ceffee. It is a pe
culiar weed and makes a fruit that
is used for coffee. The pods that
hold the fruit are half a foot long.
Mr. Wates never buys any coffee,
hut uses what lie makes at home.
And we take this occasion to say
that hr. produces on his farm about
everything he needs which is a
mighty good plan. This is a pret
ty hard time on those who have to
live out', of paper sacks and tin
cans. If you do not believe it, try it.
A train on one of the roads run
ning out of Indianapolis struck an
old horse at a crossing and one of
the messengers became very much
excited. Someone finally remarked
on his nervousness and he replied.
“Sir, if you had $20,000 of stock in
this road you’d fed just as I do.”
“Why, wc only killed an old
horse.”
“Exactly but you don’t know on
what a mighty small affair divi
dends are passed nowadays.”
DOVER MIT!
BEING CONSIDERS)
BY THE PRESENT
Assistant Secretary of
Treasury Believed to Have
Resigned as Result of Con
troversy With David H.
Blair.
Washington, July 11. President
Harding was understood tonight to
have under consideration the resig
nation of Elmer Dover, of Tacoma,
Wash., and formerly of Ohio, as as
sistant secretary of the treasury in
charge of customs and internal rev
enue.
Information of the resignation of
Mr. Dover was received at the cap
itol today from treasury sources but
something of a mystery surrounded
the severance of the assistant secre
tary’s connection with the treasury
as official confirmation or denial
of the report was wholly lacking.
At the treasury it was said Secre
tary Mellon had no statement to
make and that the matter was one
for Mr. Dover and the president.
At the White House it was made
known that President Harding had
no comment to make at Ibis time.
Mr. Dover himself would neither
confirm nor deny the report.
The resignation of Mr. Dover, it
was indicated, could be regarded as
the culmination of bis controversy
with David H. Blair, commissioner
of internal revenue, which has raged
for several mouths over the pro
posed reorganization of the internal
revenue bureau.
According to the accepted opin
ion in administration circles, Mr.
Dover was named assistant secre
tary of the treasury by President
Harding last December to reorganize
the customs service and the revenue
bureau. Reorganization of the cus
toms service was effected by Mr.
Dover early in the year but his
plans for changes in the personnel
of the revenue bureau ran counter
ot the administrative ideas of Com
missioner Blair and Secretary Mel
lon. Friction, officially described
as “disagreements as to policy,” wax
ed warmer with the occurrence of a
number of incidents, including the
removal of Dover appointees, and
the issuance of an order by Mr.
Blair centralizing all discussion of
| appointments in the offices of the
j commissioner and the appointment
division.
Reduce Amount
German Payment
On Reparations
Paris—Tlie reparation commission
decided today to relieve the German
financial crisis to the extent of re
ducing tlu* monthly installment of
50,000,000 gold marks due next Sat
urday on the schedule of payment
to 112,000,000 gold marks. Germany
had announced her willingness to
pay the whole amount but the com
mission ruled that in view of the
crisis the smaller figure was all that
would he required.
Credit to the amount of 18,000,000
gold marks was given Germany on
her reparations account for deliver
ies of dyestuffs made during the
last few months to the textile al
liance lo America for all the allies
and also for deliveries of coal which
had been made to Luxembourg at
the request of the allied govern
ments. These credits were due Ger
many for sometime, and the of
ficials thought that this time was
opportune to allow them, in view of
the German difficulties.
The members of the reparations
commission spent all day discussing
the German crisis. Dr. Fischer and
Herr Schroeder eonfered* with the
members and had another talk with
M. Dubois, president of the com
mission, in the course of which the
German representatives reiterated
their country’s inability to meet
cash payments after July.
The commission is expecting to r n
ceive a formal request from Ger
many for a moratorium in some
form tomorrow; Roland W. Hoyden
is keeping in closest touch with the
developments so as to he able to ad
vise Washington, hut as yet has not
changed his plans for sailing for
New York on the steamship France
on Saturday.
It said this evening in cer
tain reparations circles that there
was a disposition to take no action
on the German request for a mor
atorium, hut rather await possible
political developments in Germany.
Those who take this view say that
the fall of the present German
government would make any de
cision reached now of little or no
value.

Refuses to Grant Extradition
Papers for Dr, Schreibers
Return to Massachusetts.
Atlanta, Ga., July 11.—Governor
Hardwick today refused the request
of the Massachusetts authorities
for the extradition of I)r. Eugene
Schreiber, of Macon, whom it was
charged deserted his wife and chil
dren in Boston, more than a year
ago. The physician contended that
the effect to have him returned to
Boston was merely a move to make
him pay alimony, and that he sep
arated from his wife under an agree
ment in Florida. ’flic Bay Slate
was represented at the hearing be
fore the governor by an inspector

REPUBLICAN TARIFF BLOC
SENATE REVERSED AGAIN ]S
TRIP DOWN OGEECHE
RIVER IN CANOE
Young Men Having Good
Fishing—Trip Broken by
Heavy Rains and Slight Ac
cident to One Member of
Party.
Two young men of Louisville,
Messrs. Robert and James Little ca
noed down the Ogeechee River from
Louisville to a point below Milieu.
The party left here Monday, tak
ing food supplies and equipment
for camping. The river was very
high and muddy after the recent
downpours but tlie young men re
port very good fishing and a fine
trip. The distance traveled was ap
proximately ninety river miles,
though as the crow flies Milieu is
only about thirty miles from Louis
ville. By drifting with the cur
rent the boat would probably have
traveled only twenty miles a day
but the young men paddled con
stantly and were able to cover the
ninety miles in two days.
The boat was pulled in at night
and a quick camp was made near
the water. The meals were eaten
in the boat or on the shore when
coffee, bacon and eggs were cook
ed.
Mr. Robert Little lias previous to
this trip gone down the Ogeechee
River by boat from Finn's Bridge
to Lowert s Bridge. The riser is
said to be navigable from Louisville
to the Savannah, and this party re
ports that the stream is fairly free
of snags and logs. The party
would probably have gone further
but the heavy rains continued, the
food supply got low as it is hard
to gauge an appetite on water by a
land capacity, we suppose, and on
the first day out one of the party
was hurt by an axe while chopping
wood. The wound on the hand
grew more painful and so it was
thought best to return home. This
they did on Thursday.
