STETTIN, Germany, June 9.—A battle
between police and strikers, in which
seventy persons were severely wounded,
was fought last night in the suourb
of Frauendorf as the sequel to the
killing of a striker by a non-striker.
Workers in a chicory factory went on
strike some time ago. Last evening
one of them molested a man who had
continued at work, and in the fight
which ensued the striker was stabbed
and killed.
The striker’s comrades later gath
ered in front of the factory and de
manded that the non-striker be handed
over to them. Their request was re
fused and they threatened to demolish
the factory.
The local police were unable to cope
with the angry strikers-and reinforce
ments were called for from Stettin.
Shortly afterward a body of 300 armed
policemen arrived in automobiles from
headquarters in Stettin and a pitched
battle between them and the strikers
occurred.
The police freely used their sabers and
revolvers. The strikers replied with
pistol shots, but were soon overcome
by the disciplined force. They were
finally dispersed, leaving many of their
number wounded on the ground.
The casualties were in some cases
of a severe nature. Ten policemen and
about sixty civilians were treated by
surgeons during the night.

RECALL CONSUL MORTIMER
(By Associated
LOS ANGELES, Cab, June 9.—British
residents of Southern California began
a movement yesterday for the recall of
C. Mortimer, British vice consul in Los
Angeles, as a sequel to the Empire day
disaster at Long Beach, which cost 38
Jives through the collapse of a pier.
A petition requesting the removal of
the vice consul was drafted at a meet
ing of the Empire day celebration com
mittee, and will be forwarded to Sir
Edward Grey, head of the foreign office
in London.
It.alleges general Inefficiency, but spe
cifically charges that the vice consul
“tdok no part in the celebration and
during, the inquest of the victims he was
not present, and took no part in the ef
forts to place the responsibility for the
accident.”
Mr. Mortimer declined to comment on
the effort to remove him.
Trade and Crop Re
ports from the South
—FROM BRADSTREET'S.
CHARLESTON, S. C.—Retail dealers
report that sales are not up to the aver
age and that collections -are slow.
Wholesale grocers are doing a fair busi
ness. but considerable dullness is noted
in other lines. Money is still tight.
Rain has been of considerable benefit
to cotton.
CHATTANOOGA—Wholesale mer
chants and jobbers report increased
sales, and retail trade is brisk. Crop
conditions are favorable and good
weather prevails.
KNOXVILLE—Retail trade Is fair.
Wholesale business for the spring sea
son is larger than last year. Marble
is\ in active demand, the supply being
inadequate. Iron is active. The textile
industry is somewhat apprehensive re
garding tariff changes. Crop prospects
are good. Demand for Industrial coal
is good, but business in domestic
grades is light.
MEMPHIS—Jobbers of groceries, dry
goods and hardware report business ac
tive. Retail trade is good. Collections
are only fair. Crop prospects are very
good, with an increased cotton acreage.
ATLANTA—Trade at wholesale shows
n slight improvement, though orders are
still small. Retail sales are fairly sat
isfactory. but collections are slow. Hot
sunshine and showers have benefited
cotton.
BIRMIXHAM—Business is favorable
for the season. The strike of building
hands has been settled and construction
work is again active. Building material
is more active than for the past three
weeks. Trade in jobbing lines contin

erage. A large acreage of cotton is
^ planted. Trade is dull and. collections
are slow. Developments of the oil and
. gas fields still is the leading feature
of activity.
BY RALPH SMITH
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 9.—Aim
ing to protect the cigar smokers of
America from fraud through the sale of
adulterated and mislabeled cigars, and
to increase the federal revenue from
the importation of Cuban tobaccos,
Senator Fletcher, of Florida, has pro
posed an amendment to the adminis
trative clause of the pending tariff bill
that will probably be accepted by the
finance committee. The senator pro
poses to accomplish Tor the cigar
smokers in a few words substantially
the same thing that was accomplished
by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley and the pure
food crusaders through the enactment
of the pure food law.
The Fletcher amendment provides
that the United States government shall
inspect and stamp all cigars manufac
tured in America of pure Havana to
bacco. The expense of the inspection
shall be borne entirely by the tobacco
manufacturers themselves. He believe®
the effect of this inspection and label
ing will be to increase the importa
tion of tobacco from Cuba in the same
proportion that the enforcement of the
law will clear the cigar market of
misbranded and fraudulent “imported”
cigars. He thinks that quite a tidy sum
o frevenue will be thus raised.
It has come to the attention of Sena
tor Fletcher, who represents large cigar
manufacturing interests situated at
Tampa arid Key West, that millions of
“imported" cigars, made of domestic,
filler and Porto Rican wrappers, are
sold to the unsuspecting smoking pub
lic every year. The average smoker
thinks he is getting a clear Havana, and
pays accordingly. He doesn’t get what
he pays for, ami the government doesn’t
get any revenue from the “imported”
tobacco.

TO BANK BY DEFAULTER
PHILADELPHIA, June 9.—An indict
ment charging Walter S. Shourds, for
mer superintendent of the Safe Depos
it vaults of the Merchants’ Union Trust

guilty.” Counsel for the company ex
plained that full restitution had been

pany reported he was missing and that

addition to the cash $1,400,000 in secur
ities were missing from the strong box

ey and securities were surrendered he
returned.

TO TAX TOBACCO MEN
WASHINGTON, June 9—At the
W r hite House today it was said Presi
dent Wilson was still considering At
torney General McReynolds' plan to tax
manufacturers of tobacco on a sliding
scale and had com? to no decision.
TV plan is to Increase the rate of
tax aV the production goes over a cer
tain mark, with the view of curbing
monopoly.
White House officials said the pro
posal was still in the stage of a “sug
gestion," and took pains to explain that
it was not an adopted policy Of the ad
ministration.
It was added that neither the presi
dent nor Attorney General McReynolds
had reached a final decision as to possi
ble action relating to the efficacy of the
■dissolution decree o ft'ne Standard Oil
company and the tobacco trust. The
Impression was general that the White
House was disturbed by evidences that
news o fthe attorney general's plan had
been taken as bearing official indorse
ment.

way into town, climbed feebly up the
high steps to the court house and fell
Into a chair as he presented his proof
to the county clerk.
IMPOSSIBLE TO CRUSH
OTHERS, SAYS ROBERTS
NEW YORK, June 9.—It would be a
physical Impossibility for the United
States Steel corporation to drive its
competitors out of business, according
to Percival Roberts, Jr., one time pres
ident of the American Bridge companjf
and now a director in the corporation,
who testified today in the government’s
dissolution suit against the corpora
tion.
The nature of the steel business is
such, he added, that should trade war
be inaugurated, the corporation would
suffer as much as the small concerns.
He denied that the corporation had
ever attempted to crush a rival by cut
ting prices in the rival’s territory.
GRASSHOPPER PLAGUE
IS GROWING SERIOUS
WASHINGTON, June 9.—The grass
hopper problem in New Mexico is a se
rious one, according to Harrison B.
Smith, entomological expert of the de
partment of agriculture now stationed
at Elida, N. M., to help in the fight
against the pest. He telegraphed to
the department today that he had been
able to secure no aid from the farmers.
Mr. Smith also reported that attor
neys have decided that poison can be
tised in the fight against the grasshop
pers, although it was feared a few days
ago that the state law would prohibit
It.

BY RALPH SMITH
WASHINGTON, June 9.*-— Alexander
H. Stephens, the organizer of the rail
way mail service in Alaska and the man
who brought order out of chaos in the
postal service in San Francisco follow
ing the earthquake and fire, today took
the oath of office as general superin
tendent of the railway mail service,
vice Theodore Ingalls of Kentucky, de
moted and transferred to Cleveland as
division superintendent.
Stephens' assumption of the office will
be hailed with delight throughout the
country, long suffering from a demoral
ized inefficient service-. Nowhere more
than in the south will the announcement
be received with pleasure, alike by the
public and by thousands of railway mail
clerks. It will be accepted correctly
as a forerunner of a disposition on the
part of Postmaster General Burleson
and his subordinates to place the rail
way mail service on an efficient basis.
This service is the keystone of the arch
upon which rests the whole postal sys
tem Of the United States.
It is believed that Stephens, who,
besides being a thoroughgoing efficient
mail expert Is also a strong Democrat,
will reorganize the entire railway mall
service. It is practically assured that
a. number of division superintendents
will be transferred or demoted. It is
equally certain that some of the chief
clerks—the office men—who have made
themselves thoroughly objectionable and
established their incompetency, will be
demoted or removed.
Reporters Are “Muckers"
Shun 'Em, Warns Speer
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MACON, Ga., June 9.—In his ad
dress to the Mercer law class
Judffe Emory Sper made an at
tack on newspaper reporters and law
yers by saying the reporters were sub
sidized by lawyers. He also referred to
newspaper men as “muckers’ ’and he de
fined a “mucker” as a “liar.”
Among other things he warned the
young lawyers against avertising them
selves and their cases in the newspa
pers.
“I have looked with growing misap
prehension upon the tendency of the
lawyers of today to subsidize the news
paper reporters,” he said. “In the
end, young gentlemen, you will find that
a lawyer must stand on his own mer
its.
“Don’t be afraid of the ‘mucker,’ ” he
warned them. “Do you know what a
mucker is? He is a newspaper liar.”
He stated that a ‘mucker’ may attack
a lawyer or a judge from every point
of view, but that the man with back
bone will not be frightened, and will
not bend to the dictates of such one.
WILSON REFUSES TO
SAVE NEGRO’S NECK
WASHINGTON, June 9.—President

WESTCHESTER, Pa.. June 9.—Mrs.
Daisy Ulrich Opie Grace, who was ac
quitted several months ago at Atlanta,
Ga,, after being tried on an accusation
that she shot her husband, is sought by
officers upon a warrant issued by Justice
of the Peace S. M. Paxton. Charles H.
Oldham, manager of the Chester Valley
Electric Light company, also is wanted
on a similar warrant. ,
Both warrants charge statutory offens
es and are based upon alleged actions of
Mrs. Grace and Oldham at the Swan ho
tel at Downingtown, where they are said
to have lived as “Mr. and Mrs. Old
ham” for several months, until last
Tuesday, when the proprietor of the ho
tel is said to have requested them to va
cate their apartments. The warrants
calling for the arrest of the couple were
made at the instance of Mrs. Ida Plum
mer, who followed Mrs. Grace to Down
ingtown and became very friendly with
her. fter Mrs. Plummer had obtained
all the information she desired, sne told
the hotel proprietor, it Is said, that “Mrs.
Oldham” and Daisy Ulrich Opie Grace
were the same individual. Following her
revelations, Mrs. Plummer came here
and was closeted for several hours with
District Attorney Sproat and County De
tective Jerrerys. This conference ended
in the issuance of the warrants for the
arrest of the couple.
Professor W. H. Taft
Visits Washington
As Private Citizen
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 9.—Prof. Wil
liam H. Taft, private citizen, arrived
today for a visit in the capital in which
he once ruled as the first citizen of
fhe land. He will spend several days
as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Boardman and Miss Mabel Boardman
and several entertainments already have
been planned In his honor, although
it is understood Mr. Taft has expressed
the wish that no formalities mark his
visit.
ADMINISTRATION STRONG
FOR PURE FOOD LAWS
(By Associated Press.)
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 9.—
There has been and will bo no step
backward in the enforcement of the pure
food laws under the new administration.
Dr. Carl Alsberg, chief cf the bureau
of chemistry, today told the National
Wholesale Grocers’ association In an
nual session here. He- added, however,
“that the administration of the law will
gain In effectiveness if coupled with a
policy^ of education and instruction.”
Dr. Alsberg said he hoped to make
the chemistry bureau as valuable to
the consumer as the department of ag
riculture as a whole had been to the
farmer.
“One of the great needs of the times,”
he continued, “is more science in the
manufacture of goods. Here in the Unit
ed States the business of food manu
facture has advanced with extraordinary
rapidity. We no longer ‘live at home,’
as they say in the south. Our tatxle
is dependent on the distant grocer, the
distant manufacturer. The food problem
is not a problem of the home or even
of the locality. It is a problem nation
wide.
SUNDRY APPROPRIATION
BILL MAY DIE IN SENATE
*
TVAjJHINGTON, June 9.—Democratic
senators declared today they would let
the illfated sundry civil appropriation
bill die before yielding to the demand
of the house that the membership of
beards of governors of soldiers’ homes
be reduced.
Vetoed by former President Taft and
left unacted upon by the last congress,
the apparently “hoodooed” bill has left
President Wilson in a quandary as to
whether to approve its much discussed
provision to exempt farmers’ organiza
tions and labor unions from prosecu
tion under the Sherman law.
/ The bill arries $116,000,000 and pro
vides for the customs service, life sav
ing, immigration and public health serv
ices, interstate commerce commission,
mine rescue work and many other im
portant branches of the government.
ii it is not passed by July I emergency
appropriations will be necessary.

WASHINGTON, June 9.—Through the :

moving picture business on a big
scale. The enterprise is being carried
on by the reclamation service in its

MALLARY A TAYLOR IRON WORKS. Box 15 MACON, GA
Bigrt. of Engines, Boilers, Shingle Machines, Cut-off Saws, Etc
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, June 9.—The way is
being prepared for the enactment of
Alaskan railroad legislation at this
session of congress. The preliminaries
have all been attended to, and the bill
on which the senate will practically be
agreed, will be reported back from the
territories committee in a few days.
President Wilson has said that he is
anxious for Alaskan legislation at the
earliest available moment.
Two bills providing that the govern
ment itself should construct a railroad
system in Alaska, and guarantee the
bonds necessary to pay for it, were
introduced in the senate early in the
present session, and referred to the ter
ritories committee, one by Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon, and the other
by Senator Jones, of Washington.
After considering these bills for several
weeks, and holding extended hearings,
the committee appointed a sub-commit
tee of five, the senators named being a
part of it, to draft a new bill, in the
light of the testimony taken at the
hearings, and of criticisms and sugges
tions from other sources.
That sub-committee, after conferring
with President Wilson, has at last con
cluded its work, and will report to the
full committee, at which time the bill
agreed upon, it is expected, will be or
dered reported favorably to the senate.
The plan is to give that bill right of
way, by making it the unfinished busi
ness of the senate, thus insuring debate
on its provisions continuously until dis
posed of. The hope is that the debate,
which it is believed will not be pro
tracted, will exhaust itself by the time
the finance committee is ready to take
up the tariff, and that the bill will
pass the senate with almost no opposi
tion. This being the case, Chairman
Underwood will be expected, at White
House suggestion, to place the bill be
fore the house caucus, where approval
will be certain. It would then be a
matter of but a few days to pass it
through that body, and send it to the
president for his approval.
RELIES ON SECRETARY LANE.
Having given this legislation his ap
proval, the president has intimated that
he will be too busy to follow it in
detail, but that Secretary Lane, of the
interior department, will be his repre
sentative in seeing to details. Mr. Lane
will confer with house and senate lead
ers from time to time, as occasion may
require, and will make suggestions
subject to the president’s approval. Al
ready the secretary has given his full
approval to the scheme of federal con
struction of railways in Alaska, and to
the compromise bill which is to go be
fore the territories committee.

lishers’ association.
Print paper costing not more than
2 1-2 cents a pound was put on the
free list in the Underwood bill, but
representatives of the paper manufac
turers appearing before the senate sub
committee urged a contervailing duty
because of Canadian restrictions on pulp
woods. The sub-committee has not yet
acted on that proposal. Senators John
son. of Maine; Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
and Hughes, of New Jersey, constitute
the committee.
WASHINGTON, June 9.—Two of the
senate finance subcommittees working
on the tariff hill failed to complete
their work today, and Senator Sim
mons, chairman of the finance commit
tee. has been compelled to withhold
d call for the full committee meeting.
Senator Johnson’s subcommittee^ is
still considering the paper and sun
dries schedules, and Senator Williams’
subcommittee has not settled upon the
administrative features or the income
tax section of the bill. These commit
tees may be able to complete their
work Tuesday.
Senator Williams’ committee is con*
sidering eliminating the anti-dumping
clause of the Underwood bill on the
ground that it might precipitate retalia
tory tariffs by foreign nations.
