K wwnm VOLUME XII. ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1913. NO. 77. ! Journal Is Able to Give an Out line of Measure Which Pres ident Will Insist Be Passed at This Session LEADERS ASSIGNED TO WORK FOR CORN SHOW President Moore of Commerce Chamber Names Commit tees to Raise Fund BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, June 19.—The * op timism of President Wilson concern ing: the enactment of currency legisla tion at this session of congress has not been shaken by the persistent ru mors of an impending break between the president and his party on this Question. It is unquestionably true that the situation is clearer today than it was forty-eight hours ago, although there are many details of the aamlnistration currency bill in dispute as between leaders in both houses of congress. It Is believed, however, that the presi dent has succeeded in * bringing the leaders into agreement as regards the frame work of the measure on which he will rest his case, and these are grounds -for reassurance. The opposition to tackling the cur rency at this session is gradually abat ing in congress as it becomes more ap parent that the president will be able to offer a bill that will be acceptable to practically every element of the party. " The general scheme of this bill has not been divulged, but enough is known of its important features to make it practically certain that it will meet most every objection that could be offered. Leaders who wield influence in con gress and who enjoy the* confidence of the president do not regard as sinister the fact that financial experts in the two houses are evolving a temporary makeshift to relieve the present finan cial stringency. They accept this as a good indica tion, as they believe it Js evidence of an awakening as to the importance of dealing with the currency question at this session. They do not believe that the administration bill, notwithstanding its comprehensive scope, will appeal so strongly to the practical view of these men that they will abandon their “tem porary expedients” and line up square ly behind the Wilson program of cur rency reform. While no authoritive setatement con cerning the provisions of the adminis tration bill has been given out, a num ber of the Important features which it embraces have been obtained by The Journal. The sub-division of the United States into a number of banking zones and the creation *bf a board oX control, to 5*!. cre !! ry „ .. tre . as ; Fo^rbuiW*; £• ury, the secretary of agriculture and the attorney general, furnish the basis on which the administration bill will rest. In each of the banking zones there will be a regional bank, to be located by the board of control. The stock holders Iri these regional banks must have a capital stock of not less than $5,000,000. The stockholders of regional banks will not elect their directors. These will be appointed by the board of control, and it is provided that the stockholders’ representation in the di rectorates shall be limited to one- third of their entire membership. Another third of the directors of the regional banks shall be representative of and chosen from the Industrial, ag ricultural and commercial interests of the zone in which the regional bank is located. Another third shall be named by the board of control without re spect to either of the other require ments. The regional bank will Issue treas ury notes, to be supplied by the United States government, to the banks of the zone, upon such security as may be approved by the directors of the re gional bank, subject to the inspection and approval of the board of control. The plan provides that profits of re gional banks in excess of five per cent shall be turned into the national treas ury. A liberal opportunity and induce ment to nil state banks to avail them selves oi the benefits of the regional banks Is provided in the plan, as It is also a more liberal governmental pol icy toward security other than stocks and bonds.

Head of Bureau of Chemistry Declares Pure Food Labels No Assurance of Purity (By Associated Fresd.) MOBILE, Ala., June 19.—The words “guaranteed under the food and drugs act” on a label ace no assurance that contents of a package are pure, accord ing to Dr. Carl L. Alsberg, chief of the bureau of chemistry, who spoke here today before the Association of Amer ican Food, Dairy and Drug Officials. Dr. Alsberg was speaking of the lim itations of the federal bureau under the federal pure food law, appealing for closer co-operation between federal and state authorities and for uniformi ty of laws of states based on the na tional laws. ^ The food and drugs act, Dr. Alsberg asserted, “not only does not give the department of agriculture power to act in many vitally important matters, but actually prohibits its Intervention in many things that call aloud for imme diate remedy. The people at large do not understand the limitations under which we act.” Dr. Alsberg explained that the word “guaranteed on a can of soup or on a bottle of nerve tonic did not mean that the bureau of chemistry had seen and analyzed it, but that * the manufac turers put it on simply with the idea of protecting the jobber or retailer. “A?l that the guarantee legend does is to make it possible to prosecute the manufacturers if the goods are found to be in violation of the food and drugs act. “Constructive operation and practical collaboration with all agencies inter ested In securing for the people a larger supply of better and purer foods and drugs,” said Dr. Alsberg, “was the policy of the department in enforcing the law. Under this policy,” he de clared, “we are pushing many impor tant cases which will establish far- reaching precedents.” Teaching the Young Idea How to Btcome Famous Politician Eighty Women Burned to Death Villagers Enraged Over Importation of Cheap Girl Labor Nall Victims Up in Barn and Apply Torch in Southern Russia MILITIA MOBILIZING LOR GETTYSBURG Y (By Associated Press,) ST. 1 - PETERSBURG, June 19.—Eighty women were burned to death today by villagers enraged at the importation of aheap girl labor to work on a sugar es tate In the district of Piriatin, In the province of Poltava, Southern Russia, according to the Kiev newspaper, Lia- mln.

Stone, general manager of the Asso ciated Presffe, testified, at his own re quest, today before the senate lobby committee, regarding olaims contained In some of the correspondence of Clar ence S. Hamlin as to publicity beet sugar men had hoped to obtain through! the Associated Press. Hamlin's letters had been read Into! the oommlttee’s* record two days ago' after having been subpenaed from the files of the United States beet sugar In dustry. Before Mr. Stone testified Senator! Newland,s took the witness chair to, make a brief statement concerning the use of his name In some of the corre spondence Introduced yesterday. Mr. Stone presented all his letters and records bearing on the demands of the I beet sugar interests for publicity 1 through the news association. He testified that October 12,' 1911,1 John Arbuekle, a sugar refiner, when I leaving for Europe, had given out an I statement favoring free raw sugar. That! intevlew was carried by the Associate^' Press, he said. On October 15 a short statement given 1 out by Clarence C. Hamlin at Colorado! Springs, answering the Arbuekle state-! ment, was also carried by the Associated Press. The Arbuekle statement, he said, j contained about 1,000 words; the Ham lin statement about 150 words.

Mr. Hamlin’s letter was: “I am writing you as chairman of the United States Beet Sugar Industry, anl organization which Included practloally’ all of the beet sugar Interests of this! country, and If anything further ls| necessary to give that what I have to I say credit, I would refer you to any of! the papers In Denver as well as to Sen ator Guggenheim and Senators Clark and 1 Warren, of Wyoming. Also to Mr. Ches ter W. Morey, of Denver, president of the Great Western Sugar company, the largest beet sugar producer.In the Unit-: ed States, with whom you are personally acquainted. I might add I am a njem-i JS! gjLijJJ Associated Press, representl lng the Herald-Telegraph of this city. “Publicity Is the last thing I wish! to seek personally, but In Justice to th$j great industry which I represent, I fee? justified nl taking up with you In per son a matter which to us is of the gray- 1 est importance. On October 12 Mr. John Arbuekle, of Arbuekle Brothers,' gave out a statement which was print ed In full In every Associated Press' newspaper of the United States, con- : cernlng the sugar situation. A copy of this statement is attached hereto. "The matters contained in this state-, ment were of such great Importance and some of the misrepresentations so gross that I did not feel that these statements should go unchallenged. “I took the matter up with the lo cal representatives of the Associated Press who followed It through the or dinary channels and was assured that the Associated Press would handle six hundred and fifty words representing the beet sugar men's position upon these questions. This statement I pre pared and you will find a copy hereto: attached. This Is from the Denver Re publican, the Colorado papers having handled It In full. The manner In which It was handled will be disclosed; by the attached clipping from the Wash- lngton Post of Oot. 16. "Your long experience In newspaper work will cause you to see Immediately that we would have been much bet ter satisfied had the Associated Press refused to handle It entirely rather than to have It published In this ab breviated and wholly unsatisfactory manner. "Of course, I understand the Asso ciated Press Is In no sense partisan and alms to be wholly fair to all of the great Interests of the country, and all that the beet sugar Interests ask Is that they receive the same treatment at the hands of your association as Is accorded to certain refineries In New York who are pushing the free sugar propaganda with the avowed purpose of at least putting a stop to the growth of the beet sugar Industry. "We certainly have no desire to bur den the Associated Press with matter put out for the purpose of ‘boosting’ our industry, but when attacked, feel that we should be given as much pub licity as is given to our opponents. At least we would like to know what our status is so far as your association Is concerned. Of course, there may be something in the character of the statement given out by me which would prevent Its acceptance In full, and if so you will be doing me a distinct favor by advising me In what respect this is true. “Trusting you will give this serious personal consideration, and thanking you In advance for anything you may bs able to do In the direction of according Justice to so large an industry, I am, "Very truly yours, < "C.
