V r.HE ATLANTA SESTtWEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1913. Trade and Crop Re ports from the South —FROM BRAD8TREETS, LUONAI CURRENCY ON WHITE SLAVE CHARGE Memphis—Trade is quiet and collections are slow. Cotton planting is in prog ress, and the acreage will be larger than last year. Montgomery.—Trade is unusually quiet. Collections are very poor. Cotton planters complain of poor stands and scarcity of seed. Jackson.—In sections not under | water cotton is up, and the plant is in fairly good shape. Trade is fair, but collections are slow. Charleston, ■ S. C—.Trade in all lines is very quiet and collections are slow. Cot ton planting is active, and the outlook is encouraging. Chattanooga.—Business is fair. Farmers | are well along with their field work, and the soil is in good condition. The strawberry season is just opening, and indications point to a bumper crop. Atlanta—Notwithstanding slow' sales and collections, there is a spirit of opti mism among merchants. Trade at whole sale shows a slight increase, and retail I dealers also report improvement. The crop outlook generally is favorable. San Antonio.—Wholesale dealers say trade is fair. Collections are only J fair. Retail trade is fair but collections are sliow. Cabbage and onions are mov- j ing in carload lots. Strawberries are plentiful at moderate prices. Cotton and oats are in better shape. Mobile—Farming is somewhat retarded. Though the cotton acreage will be about the same as last year, it is thought ; the yield will be 10 to 20 per cent, less on account of the boll weevil. Jobbers ■ in all lines report trade active, and re tail trade is good. Collections are fair. Birmingham—Conditions appear to be more favorable, *is a result of renewal of operations by two large mining com panies which heretofore were only partly engaged. Warm weather has stimulated trade with jobbers and retailers. Build- ! ing operations are not more than nor mal. Collections are slow. New Orleans.—Fair weather has prevailed, and farming conditions are 1 favorable, except in those localities immediately affected by high water. The levees so f&r are holding reasonably well, save for one break which occur red on the Louisiana side in the north ern part of the state. Retail merchants are buying conservative}'. Jobbing trade is fairly active and collections are moderately good. Planting of rice, sugar and cotton is moving forward, and the outlook for good crops appears to be favorable. Retail trade is active. ‘ THE CROPS.* Another week of good weather has enabled farmers to make good progress, and most of the lost time has now been made up. The greater part of the spring wheat and oats crops have been planted, and next w'eek should witness the finish of this seeding even in the ir.cst northern regions. Barley and flax seeding in the northwest has begun and southern corn is all planted and most of it up^ Plowing for corn in the more northern regions is making good progress. Winter wheat holds its excellent po sition. There were complaints of rain needed in Iowa and Kansas, but these have both had rainfall, and the general \outlook in those states was never bet ter. There is said to be a promise of great insect life this year, and chinch bugs are reported west of the Missouri river. Texas wheat, oats and corn promise well, despite cool w r eather for the latter. ^ Cotton planting has made ^ rapid progress and is well forward, except in sections where levee breaks have flooded some areas of the lower Missis sippi valley. It is rather too early yet to estimate cotton acreage, but there seems little reason to doubt that an area well in excess of last year will be planted Last year the area planted was 34,097,000 acres, while In 1911 the record area of 36,681,000 acres was seeded. Rice and sugar planting is active in the lower Mississippi valley. WOMAN BURGLAR IS ROUTED BY A GIRL PASADENA.

MORE THAN EVER Increased Capacity for Mental Labor Since Leaving Off Coffee Many former coffee drinkers who have mental work to perform, day after day, have found a better capacity and greater endurance by using Postum in stead of coffee. An Ills, woman writes: "I had drank coffee for about twenty years, and finally had what the doctor called ‘coffee heart.’ I was ner vous and extremely despondent; had little mental or physical strength left, had kidney trouble and constipation. “The first noticeable benefit derived from 'the change from coffee to 'Postum was the natural action of the kidneys and boWels. Tn .two weeks my heart action was greatly improved and my nerves steady. "Then I became less despondent, and i the desire to be active again showed proof of renewed physical and mental strength. , “I am steadily gaining in physical strength and brain power. T formerly ! did mental work and had to give it up . on account of coffee, but since using Postum I am doing hard mental labor with less fatigue than ever before.” > Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum now comes in new, concen trated form called Instant Postum. It f Is regular Postum so processed at the factory that only the soluble portions are retained. A spoonful of Tnstant Postum with hot water, and sugar and cream to taste, produce Instantly a delicious bev erage. Write for the little book, "The Road to Wellville.” “There’s a Reason” for Postum, President Wants Bill Passed by Present Extra Session of Congress * (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 6.—President W ilson again today expressed the hope that members of congress had come to an early agreement on the details of currency legislation so that a bill could be passed before adjournment of the special session. The president told his callers he ex pected the currency committees of the house and senate to get together to formulate a measure, and his own views would be transmitted through whatever measures were finally agreed upon by them. The president hopes that if congress takes up the currency question at the extra session it will do so with expedi tion and get through a bill not later than August. He is planning to visit the Panama canal either in July or Au gust. Senators Owen and Gore and the en tire Oklahoma delegation urged the president to attend the twenty-fifth an niversary on April 9. 1914, of the open ing of Oklahoma territory to settlement. The president said he would try. President Wilson does not expect the tariff bill to be materially amended in the senate. He told callers he did not credit the report that wool would be taken from the free list. He heard views of many who wish duty reained on wool, but sees rto reason to change his position. Senator Sheppard and a delegation from Texas presented a petition asking the pardon of W. B. Walker, of Dal las, Tex., convicted of a violation of the national banking act. Senator Fletcher, of Florida, urged the appointment of N. J. Lillard, of Florida, as his first choice, and W. V. Truley, of Chattanooga, Tenn., his second choice, for public printer. Lawrence C. Woods and his brother, Edward A. Woods, of Pittsburg, both in timate friends of President Wilson, told him the provisions of the income tax bill relating to insurance companies did not altogether exempt insurance companies from double taxation. The president in dicated that he would further study the question. Sex of Woman Who Battled in Civil War Just Revealed George H, Bixby Arraigned and Makes Bond-Keeper of “The Jonquil" Indicted, Also (By Associated Press.) QUINCY, Ill., May 5.—The identity of the sex of "Albert” D. J. Cashier, Civil War veteran, and an inmate ot the Soldiers and Sailors’ home here, was today revealed by Colonel J. O. Anderson, superintendent of the home, to be feminine. The woman, whose real name prob ably never will be known, served three years in the union army. She was mustered out of the service in 1865, and a few years later was placed on the government pension roll. She entered the Soldiers’ home two years ago and at that time her sex was known only to Colonel Andrews, but he promised not to reveal her se cret. His promise has been fulfilled, in as much as the woman two weeks ago was adjudged insane and in a few days will be committed to the state hospital. The revelation of the identity of her sex was made two years ago in Liv ingston county, Illinois, where she was employed by ex-Senator I. M. Lish, as chauffeur. It is said by the ex-senator that one day his machine would not run and that the chauffeur crawled un der the car. While she was tampering with the mechanism the engine start ed and the wheels of the car passed over her, breaking her right leg. Physicians discovered her secret. POLICE INSPECTORS FAIL TO TAKE STAND (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, May 5.—None of the for mer police inspectors—Thompson, Hus sey, Murtha and Sweeney—took the stand today in the closing hours of their trial on charges of conspiracy to ob struct justice by buying the silence of informers against the graft “system.” Through the testimony of more than a dozen witnesses, counsel for Thompson and Sweeney endeavored to proxe alibis for the pair and to discredit the state ments of several chief prosecution wit nesses. The defense rested late this afternoon and court adjourned until Monday when the defense will begin summing up. The jury will get the case probably on Tuesday. The alibi for Thompson entered on his whereabouts at periods when Former Police Captain Walsh testified he paid graft money to Thompson, then his su perior officer. On Sweeney’s behalf, his wife, daughter, sister and niece testified In an effort to establish that Walsh did not visit Sweeney on December 29 1- st to confer about a bribe fund raised to keep George A. Sipp, a resort keeper, out of the court’s jurisdiction.

The officers, five In number, escaped without injury, and two of the negroes, one of whom was slightly wounded, were captured. The officers participating in the fight were Lieutenants Lockhart and Oliver and Officers Haynie, Peacock and Jack- son, all of the county force. John Love, who received a bullet in tne hand, and Clem Wilson, were the negroes captured. They refuse to disclose the identity of their three companions who escaped. The fight occurred near the negroes’ still in a canebrake which was so thick that at 6 in the afternoon the officers could not see more than 10 paces ahead of them. In the midst of the exciting exchange of shots the negroes fled, and it was then that two of the men were captured. The officers confiscated the still. They will turn their prisoners over to the federal officials. REFORMED CHURCH WON’T MAKE TWO CLASSIS (By Associated Press.) GREENSBORO, N.

LOS ANGELES, May 5.—Demurrers and other means of legal defense were prepared in behalf of George H. Bixby, the Long Beach millionaire, when he was arraigned today in the superior court on two indictments, charging him with aiding the delinquency of two minor girls. The indictments were returned last night by the county grand jury, after a week's inquiry into allegations that wealthy men had an organized system of ensnaring young women for immoral purposes.

Mrs. Rosenberg, as keeper of “The Jonquil,” the r#sort at which it is al leged Bixby was known as “The Black Pearl,” is charged with having been chief procurer for the wealthy patrons of her place. 1 Shortly after Bixby yas arraigned, Kitty Phillips, the youthful motion pic ture actress, whose charges initiated the sensational white slavery investigation, was taken to the central police station to testify before the grand jury which will resume its inquiry Monday.

Sipp, a hotel keeper, who had paid the police “pro tection” money, out of the county so that he could not appear as a witness against a patrolman under arrest for collecting graft.

ALBANIAN INTERVENTION DISREGARDED BY RUSSIA Muscovites Will Not Regard Austro-ltaiian Intervention as Cause of War (By .Associated Press.) FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAIN, Ger many. May 5.—Russia Will not regard Austrian or Austro-Italian intervention in Albania as a cause for war. according to a dispatch from St. Petersburg to the Frankfort Gazette.

WASHINGTON, May 5 .--^-D ustless and cinder-proof railroad passenger coaches have been made possible by a Georgian’s invention for which a patent was is sued yesterday by the government. It is believer that the railroad and sleeping car companies will hasten to aavil them selves of the invention, but if there is unnecessary delay congress may con sider the passage of an act requiring all comon carriers engaged in interstate commerce to equip their passenger coaches with the "cinder deflector,” as it is called. Congressman Adamson, chairman, and Congressman Sims, of the interstate commerce committee, may take thd initiative. The cinder deflector was invented and patented by a Lutheran minister, Rev. D. A. Sox, of Carrollton, Ga., which is also the home of Judge Adamson. It is a simple device, triangular in shape, with a conical dome or top, made of thin steel. Mr. Sox declares that the device has been tried with success on a number of day coaches, and that already a num ber of railroads have contracted with him for a limited supply of the deflec tors. He is negotiating now for the sale of the patent right to a railroad equipment concern. NUTMEG STATE SENDS MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS (fy Associated Press.) HARTFORD.

President Mellen Says Appar ent Profits in Stocks Were Reimbursed to Him (By Associated Press.) BOSTON, May 5.—President Mellen, of the New Haven railroad, appearing in his own defense before the inter state commerce commision today, gave an unexpected explanation of some of the figures in the New Haven’s books. According to the government expert accountant, David E. Brown, there ap peared an apparent profit of $102,000, made by Mr. Mellen, personally, by trad ing in the stock of the railroad com pany. Mr. Mellen testified that the money in question had been used in, political contributions in 1904. Fifty thousand dollars went to the Republican national campaign fund, he said, and other amounts to aid Republi can state campaigns in New York, Con necticut and Rhode Island. Mr. Mellen advanced the money and the railroad company reimbursed him. He sarid in part: HOW CONTRIBUTION WAS GIVEN. "The transactions by which 1^,835 shares of New Haven stock were sold to me in March, 1904, and I gave my notes to the New England Navigation company, have been questioned. “This stock was treasury stock and had to be listed on the stock exchange in order to be sold to the public. "^In order to list it, it was sold to me and I gave my notes to the company which held the stock as collateral until sold. “AJ1 these shares were sold at the best obtainable prices and the entire proceeds, together with the dividends, paid to the company's treasury. "The company received approximately $102,000 more than the price at which the stock was sold.to me. "Between the time of the sale to me and the closing of the transaction I had personally given out of my own funds considerable amounts exceeding in the aggregate the sum of $102,000. GAVE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. "These expenditures I had made abso lutely because I was president of the New Haven railroad. "Cn 1904 I contributed $50,000 to the Republican national campaign fund and other sums for the Republican cam-- paigns in New York, Connecticut and, Rhode Island. “On the closing up of the sale of these stocks, it appearing that an un expected profit had been realized, my di rectors, who had been cognizant of my contributions for these purposes, thought«proper to make me this allow ance. N “I never personally received or re tained one dollar to my own profit or advantage. “All the transactions were fully ex plained to the auditing committee and, were satisfactory to them as expendi tures in furtherance of the company’s interest and protection of its property.” CLUB STANDING Clubs.

LIND LEGISLATION Secretary Bryan, in Making Farewell Address to Legis lators, Says He Expects Vot ers to Use Referendum MAESURE PASSES HOUSE; BEADY FOR GOVERNOR (By Associated Press.) SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 3.— The alien land ownership bill previously passed by the senate, was passed by the assembly late tonight and awaits only the sig nature of the governor to bo- come a-law. (By Associated Press.) SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 3.—De feated finally in his diplomatic effort to dissuade the California legislature from enacting an alien land law affect ing th,. Japanese, Secretary of State Bryan declared this afternoon that he looked to th e people of the state to ex press a final judgment through the ref erendum before the act shall go into effect. ivir. Bryan’s statement was made be fore an open joint meeting of the sen ate and assembly, immediately before his departure for Washington. The assembly which was even then -n the midst of its debate on the land bill, passed late last night by the senate, paused for half an hour to hear him and then 4 ,ok up- its work of follow ing the senate’s lead. The procedure in the lower house to day was almost identical with that which the administration leaders in the senate adopted yesterday. On the one side the Democrats offered substitute resolutions and amendments, all seek ing to delay action, and on the other side the Progressive majority stood firm in voting down every suggestion. That the bill would pass tonight was predicted by both sides. It will then oe in the hands of Governor Johnson awaiting the signature that shall make it a law. Apparently the only contingently that can arise to pre.vent the carrying out of the bill’s provisions within ap proximately ninety days is the threat ened referendum petition which would require 20,000 signatures before the law could be temporarily nullified, pending an election. The matter could not d „ submitted to (he people until the fall of 191*—a delay of nineteen months, in case the proposed referen dum petition gains enough signers Early in the session representatives of the board of directors of the Panama Pacific exposition at San Francisco intimated to the legislature that the board would foster a movement to in voke the referendum against any anti alien bill that might be passed. Re cently the exposition company has been joined by several commercial and trade bodies in the larger cities who fear Japan wil levy reprisals upon Califor nia by abrogating present business re lationships Secretary Bryan concluded his mis sion to the governor and legislature of California this afternoon with a mes sage of farewell. To an open joint session of the two houses,, attended by the governor, he gave renewed as surances of the friendly interests and co-operative attitude of the national administration toward the peculiar problems of California, transmitting the president’s latest criticism of the alien land act passed last night by the Cures Blood Poison Wonderful New Vegetable Discovery, as Proved by Wasserman Test, Cures at Home the Blood Poison That Causes Ulcers, Coppsr Spots, Mucous Patches, etc. Pree to You How to Cure Yourself Quickly, Absolutely, Safely, With out Mercury, Iodide or Other Mineral Poisons.

COLUMBUS, Ga., May 5.—One of the boldest robbteries of the season oc curred last night when the clothing establishment of C. W. Mizell, chair man of the police committee of the city council, located in the heart of Columbus and within a very short dis tance of police headquarters, was broken into from ttye rear and all the money in the cash drawer, amounting to about $25, was taken, together with a lot of jewelry, such as collar and cuff buttons and a lot of small articles of underwear, etc. state senate and rehearsing again those objections already made public. In reply, Senator Gates, speaking for the state, said: "This legislature appreciates the honor that h^.s been done to this state by the visit of the secretary of state. “We realize that his coming to co operate with us marks an era in Amer ican politics. It brings the federal government into close touch with the individual states. “On the part of the legislature I wish to express our profound appreciation and gratitude for the interest taken by the national government in a problem confronting the state of California and to assure the president that, even if we may differ with him, we do it with the profoundest respect for his opinions and those of the secretary of / state. And if we feel impelled to depart from that advice, we do it with respect for that advice. “I purpose and desire, on the part of this legislature, to thank the president and his secretary for their assistance, and I express the hope that this visit may be a forerunner of further activity by the national government in assisting the states in their work.” DISCRIMINATING TERMS. Secretary Bryan, in his address, voiced the president’s opinion that the words “eligible to citizenship,” substi tuted in the California attorney gen eral’s redraft of the alien land measure for the words "ineligible to citizenship,” are equally discriminatory and there fore eqtially objectionable to Japan. “If a law must pass, he urged that it be limited in its operation to two years, that meanwhile diplomacy might so im prove the international situation that reenactment by the next legislature would be unnecessary. This suggestion which had not yet reached the president, he said, was made ‘for the consideration of those who have yet to act upon the subject:’ ” Secretary Bryan said in part: "As I am departing this afternoon for Washington, I deem it proper that I should say a final word to you. My coming, at the president’s request, upon the mission that brought me, was un usual and yet in the president’s opinion, not only right in principle, but wise in policy. It was in keeping with his own course in appearing in person to deliver a message to congress. “I need not recount the experiences through which we have passed. The legislature, insofar as it has acted, has found it inconsistent with its view of its responsibility to follow the presi dent’s advice in the wording of the law which it regards as its duty to enact. While I shall not attempt to form a judgment as to the action of the as sembly on this subject, I have so fully presented the president’s views that I do not deem a longer stay necessary. On the contrary, I feel that I can be more useful at Washington when the president has before him the bill as it reaches the governor, if it shall finally pass the assembly. I cannot, however, take my departure without giving ex pression to my appreciation of the sipirt in which, as a representative of the president, I have been received, and of the courtesies that liave been shown me at all times. PRESIDENT’S POSITION. “The amity that has characterized our intercourse is in keeping, I think, with the course that should be pursued by those who, acting under a sense of re sponsibility about matters in which they are jointly concerned, are unable to agree upon the means to be employed for reaching .the end in view. The president has impressed upon me at all times that 1 should emphasize the fact that his only purpose is to confer with the legisla ture as to the national and international phases of the question under considera tion and that he confers as a not un sympathetic friend who desires to aid to the extent of his ability in a matter where he has not only a constitutional duty to perform but where he may be assumed to be able to judge of the effect of legislation upon our relations with other countries. "He has pointed out the things which seem to him unwise in the bill that has passed the senate. ‘The first words to which he calls attention are ‘eligible to citizenship’ which are as clerly dls- to citizenship’ which are as 'clearly dis- citizenship,’ against which he so earn estly .advises. In the second* paragraph the property right? of those therein de scribed art defined as they are defined in the treaty.

PRESIDENT BF HAITI DIED FRIDAY NIGHT General Tancrev Auguste Had Been III Only a Short While Before Death (Ry Associate! I*iy.b.) PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, May 5.— The president of the republic of Haiti, General Tancrer Auguste, died at 9 o'clock last night, after a brief illness. The national assembly was convoked to elect a successor as chief executive. Four candidates were prepared to present their claims—Judge Luxen- bourg Cauvin, former minister of the interior; Mi^jiel Oreste, a prominent senator; General Beaufosse . Laroche, minister of war, and General Beliard. In official circles and among the gen eral public the opinion prevailed that General Beliard would secure the ination. ^ President Tancrer has occupied his office only since Ail^ust 9, last year. He succeeded General Cincinnatus Le conte, who met a tragic death together with 400 officers and soldiers in a fire which destroyed the palace on August 8. It was reported that at that time he had been the victim of intrigue, but nothing was officially revealed to confirm the theory. Afflicted People Take Notice.
