THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1913.
Trade and Crop Re
ports irom the South
—FROM BRADSTREET’S.
Charleston, S. C.—Trade and collec
tions are very quiet. Very few future
orders are being placed, and buying is
..done to supply immediate needs. Cotton
"“'is progressing slowly . because of lack
of rain.
Chattanooga—The large number of
visitors here attending the Confederate
veterans’ reunion has greatly stimulated
retail trade. Jobbers of dry goods and
groceries report a brisk demand, and col
lections are fair. Feeling among manu
facturers regarding the tariff is opti
mistic.
Memphis—Wholesale trade shows
considerable activity, and many orders
are being booked for future delivery.
’“Retail trade is brisk. Collections are
' good. Farmers report a good stand of
“ cotton, with prospects much better than
last year.
Atlanta—Wholesale merchants report
increased sales, and house trade is good.
Retail trade is only fair. Cotton is in
."'good condition, and the outlook is fa-
, vorable.
Savannah—Trade in all lines is only
fair, and collections are very slow. Cot
ton is so far in good condition, rains
•^having materially aided growth, and
but little replanting will be required.
BIRMINGHAM—Inquiries for pig
iron are better than for several months,
and while some quotations are made at
7£$11.50, material for the second half of
‘the year is quoted at $12. It is esti
mated there are about 150,000 tons in
the yards of this district. The annual
output is aproximately 2.000,000 tons.
■Prices for lumber are still unsettled.
Wholesale trade in heavy hardware is
good, though business at retail is not
so active, owing to strikes of building
hands. Jobbers of groceries, dry goods,
produce and similar lines have not as
yet felt the effects of the strikes. Coal
and coke producers report a*very good
volume of business for the season.
Recent rains were very beneficial to cot-
._ton, and with good weather prevailing
.. the situation is very favorable. Collec-
,,tions in all lines are backward. The
.general outlook is promising, with a
good feeling in evidence.
: \ MOBILE—Hardware jobbers report
’'trade rather quiet for this season of
-vlthe year, but other lines are fairly ac-
tive. Collections are rather slow 7 .
»... MONTGOMERY—Rains have been
beneficial to growing crops. Poor stands
‘ of cotton, with the crops four weeks
late, are reported. Trade in all lines is
^>fair. Collections are poor.
JACKSON—Trade continues quiet,
,,.,with collections slow to fair. Farmers
..report favorable crop conditions.
THE CROPS.
m.. The crop report as a w 7 hole is a bet-
. ter one thi,s week than last. Some re-
^^luction of the high May 1 condition is
,i, noted as regards winter w 7 heat in
^-southwest Kansas, Oklahoma and por-
tions of the belt east of the Mississi
ppi, but there is still promise of more
than 100,000,000 bushels gain over last
~~ year’s short crop. The Pacific north
west reports good cryp prospects.
"Warmer growing weather lias, iarrived
in the northwest, and j spring' wheat is
reported in good to fine, shape, except
■parts or North Dakota where it is toe*
' 'dry. A - small decrease in spring wheat
area is probable, taking the crop as «*
' whole, but the combined yields of win
ter and spring wheat promise to heavily
» exceed last year.
The oats crop is the most spotted of
all the cereals, and crop accounts are
very conflicting. A decrease in area
• and a heavy decrease from last year s
large crop, which was probably over
estimated, seem probable at this writ
ing. Oats have been harvested in Tex
as with a good yield, and prices locally
have -dropped sharply.
Corn planting is rather late in the
west, and especially So in Iowa ana
Nebraska. East of the Mississippi rivet
planting is finished except in some lov.
spots. The plant has therefore had an
irregular s'tart, but warm growing
weather now following the rains will
push the plant.
Cotton reports are almost uniformly
goud, rains having broken the drought,
except in parts ofq South Carolina. Tex
as, the low r er Mississippi valley ana
Georgia send good reports. Some com
plaints still come from parts of Alaba
ma and the neighborhood of Charles
ton, S. C.
«r-~ Southern corn, sugar and rice reports
are good, and warm growing weather is
K-for the time being the only thing
JJ needed.

felony convict, sent to the county gang
from Fulton, was drowned and another

permitted a number to go in swimming
and Peak was drowned.
The negro was serving a seven-year
sentence.
MEMORY IMPROVED

E ________
gj Many persons suffer from poor mem-
2! ory who never suspect Coffee has any

tT The *drug—caffeine—in coffee, act»
C5 injuriously on the nerveS and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too mucn
£ blood in the brain at one time, too lit-
~ tie in another part. This often causes
22 a dullness which makes a good memory

Crops in New Mexico and
Idaho Damaged by
sions of Pests
Inva-
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 2.—Two grass
hopper invasions, one in New Mexico the
other in Idaho, already have been re
ported to the department of agriculture
this year. Nothing official has been
heard, however^ of the rumored appear
ance of the pests near Chico, Cal., al
though the government has a 180-acre ex
periment station there.
“Every year we receive reports of
grasshopper plagues from ten to twenty-
five sections of the country,” said Prof.
F. \V. Webster, in charge of the work
today. “Many of these are local and
soon die out; others do considerable dam
age before they are checked. It has nev
er been possibzle even to estimatee the
amount of damage.”
Damage in New Mexico
Restricted to "Dry Claim"
(By Associated Press.)
ROSWEL, N. M., June 2.—The dam
age done so far by the grasshoppers in
northeastern New’ Mexico has been re
stricted exclusively to the “'dry claim”
region around. Elida, but there are no
indications as to what destruction the
hoppers may bring when they have de
veloped wings, is the way Prof. A. G.
Hammar, government entomologist sta
tioned here, described the situation. He
based his observations on personal In
vestigation of the hopper-infested area.
“The damage done so' far,” said the
expert, “is very slight, and only gracing
land in the dry belt near Elida has been
injured. An area of possibly 125 square
miles .has been infested, And‘to this all
the damage to date has been restricted,
due to the fact that the hopeprs have
not yet developed wings. They are com
pelled to march and forage as they go.
and they have progressed les sthan ten
mile sin more than three weeks.
“They probably will develop wings in
a month and may migrate a hundred
miles or more and *do much damage.
“Those V I examined are of the migra
tory species, and not the differential, as
has been reported. No great pest, like
this country knew in the ’80s is expect
ed from this species.”

legislation and I think we are in a sense
bound in loyalty to the countr y to

atrifioial disturbances after the tariffs
shall have become a law may be offset
by a free system of credit which will
aihke it possible for men, big and little
to take care of themselves in business.”

Every Member of Senate to Be
Put on Oath-Probe Will Be
Sweeping and Searching in
Its Character
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, June 2.—President
Wilson’s attendance upon and partici
pation in the senate lobbying investiga
tion will be welcomed by members of
the senate committee. Senator Overman,
chairman, stated tonight that he would
confer with the president Monday
morning and indicate to him the com
mittee’s desire to co-operate with him
in making its probe. He will tell Mr.
Wilson that the committee will gladly
accept any suggestions he may make,
and will welcome his prestige at its
session.
The whole inquiry, it is conceded,
turns largely upon the definition of
what is a lobbyist and what is lobby
ing. The president is expected to fur
nish the answer, since he started the
inquiry. He is entirely willing to as
sume the responsibility, and he may
•be relied upon to lend the probers his
hearty support; also, it may be stated
that the president has pretty clear and
well established ideas -Concerning lob
bying and lobbyists.
Senator Overman declared tonight
that, in his opinion, the inquiry would
cover a vast scope of ground. The busi
ness and professional relations of every
member of the senate with industries
and products affected directly or indi
rectly by the pending tariff will be dis
closed by the inquiry. It is believed that
a large number of senators will be
£pund to be interested in some way with
some of the manufacturing industries
whose products are affected by the bill.
Senator Overman says that he him
self is the owner of five shares of cot
ton mill stock. He added that he had
never received a dividend on the stock
and would gladly sell it for one-fifth of
what It cost. Senator Bryan, of Flor
ida, says he owns lion-ds on an orange
grove in his state - and the products
of this grove will be affected by the
tariff.
Leader Underwood is. interested in
some pig iron properties in Alabama.
The most searching Investigation
and business connections of members
ever undertaken int<S the private afafirs
o fthe United States senate will be the
outgrowth of this investigation which is
to open Monday morning before a sub
committee o’f the senate judiciary com
mittee.
While President. Wilson’s recent dec
laration that a powerful lobby is at
work to influence adtion on the tariff
bill forms the basis for the investiga
tion. questions prepared tonight by the
committee to be asked of each member
of the senate are such as to carry the
investigation far outside of tariff mat
ters.
JAPS TO SEND ANOTHER
PROTEST TO UNO Li
Second Note on California
Anti-Alien Land Law to Go
Forward Soon
(By Associated Press.)
rOKIO, June 2—Another note from the
Japanese government dealing with ques
tions arising out of the recent California
land-owning legislation is soon to be
forwarded to Washington.
The idea that the Ujiited States has not
said her final word is prevalent here amd
it is predicted in government circles, by
inference, that no official action is to be
initiated yet by Japan.
The formal organization of a Japanese
association in the United States to co
operate with the Japanese government is
greatly favored here and the object of
the members of this association when it
is formed, will be. to reach a permanent
solution of the difficulty by means of a
new treaty or by a change in naturaliza
tion laws.

GENTRAL RESERVE SSS’N
Claims This Plan Far Superior
to Proposed Reginal
Reserve *
(By Associated Press.)
YOUNGSTOWN, O., June 2.—Senator
Burton, a member of the national mone
tary commission, in an address totnight
to the Youngstown Association of Credit
Men, came to the defense of the Central
Reserve association, proposed by the
commission in its plan for financial re
form, and critticised as inadequate the
regional reserve associations favored
by Democrats in congress. Senator Bur
ton declared that all the benefits that
might lie in the regional reserve plan
could be found in the central reserve
plan and insisted that only through
some such central, autthorltative agency
could stability be assured in times of
financial storms.
“The objections to the regional plan
in the first place that it is not truly
national.” said the senator. “All our
ban-vinsr business, ‘like transportation
and many other commercial and indus
trial operations, is more and-more be
coming national, and this applies with
special emphasis to the utilization of
banking reserve. Separate and unrelated
organizations would seek to maintain
their own credit and supply their cwn
customers wituout regard to the needs
to others. There would be no effective
unity of action in facing a financial
storm.
TRAD THOMPSON NAMED
MINISTER TO COLOMBIA
Prominent Texas Democrat
Succeeds James T, Dubois
at Post
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. June 2.—That A.
Thompson, a wealthy and prominent
business man of Austin, Tex., has been
selected for United States minister to
Colombia, to succeed James T. Dubois. 1
Mr. Thompson was a delegate to the
Baltimore convention and has been ac
tive worker in the Democratic ranks.
He is a personal friend of Postmaster
General Burleson.
The controversy betwen the United
States and Colombia over the partition
of Panama from the latter country will
be a problem Mr. Thompson will have
to handle. Secretary Bryan declared
a few days ago, after having had sev
eral conferences with Senor Betan
court, Colombian minister here, that ne
gotiations looking to an agreement with
the South American republic would not
be begun until a minister had been
selected.

Italian Authorities Declare
Flint Stone in Colloidal So
lution Causes Disease
(By Associated Press.)
ROME, June 2—Pellagra, the mysteri
ous skin disease prevalent in semi-trop
ical climates which has baffled medical
authorities for nearly 200 years, is caused
by infected water, according to Profs.
Scala and Alessandri, of the Institute of
Hygiene in Rome.
The scourge has long been ascribed to
the consumption of bad corn, but ac
cording to the professors’ announcement
they have found that in the districts of
Italy, where the disease is most preva
lent, the water is infected with flint
stone in collodial solution.
The professors declare that the theory
of the maize ptomaine is altogether
groundless. Th^y are endeavoring to in
duce the authorities to proceed with a
thorough examination of all the waters
of the infected districts and rid Italy
of a plague which claims 60*000 cases an
nually.
The professors have found that the in
fected water may easily be made safe
for drinking purposes by putting into it
a quantity of carbonated chalk.

fer with Mayor Grace and Chief of Po
lice Cantwell looking toward the as
phyxiation of dogs impounded by the
police for running at large on the
streets.
This means of killing the dogs has
been urged for a long time, but now it
is proposed to take active steps to
carry it out, and asphyxiation may
take the place of drowning and shoot
ing of the stray and worthless canines.

MUTILATED BODY OF
YOUNG WOMAN FOUND
(By Associated Press.)
BLOOMFIELD, N. J., June 2.—The
body of a young v. oman from which the
head had been severed and replaced was |
found in a vacant lot here today. By
means of a handkerchief upon which !
her name was written, she was idenified 1
Mrs. Alvira Cercieflo, wife of a i
Newark storekeeper.
Two hundred dollars which the hus-
oand said she carried in her stockings
was missing. Her fingers had been
s..rvered from her hands and the ground
in the : nmediate vicinity gave indica
tion of a terrific fight for life.
Provisional President Gives No
Intimation as to When Suc
cessor Will Be Chosen
(±»y Associated rres*.)
MEXICO CITY, June 2— No intima
tion has yet been given by Provisional
President Huerta as to when he will
issue the decree calling a presidential
election.
It is considered certain that he will
not delay for long the formality of is
suing an official call, as both houses of
congress have passed a measure fixing
October 26 as the ^ate.
General Felix Diaz is the only candi
date who has frankly entered his name
for the election, but it is regarded as
probable that he will be met by the
oposition perhaps of Manuel Calero.
former Mexican ambassador at Wash
ington. and possibly of Francisco de la
Barra, minister for foreign affairl, as
the representative of the Catholic party.
fTne tone of a large part of the press
and the expressions of opinion of many
people, including numerous friends of
Felix Diaz, indicate that his popularity
has waned and that there is little chance
of his election.
