During Week 100 Witnesses

Coal Mine Conditions
At Least Three Bills Looking
to Repeal of Measure Will
Be Introduced as Result of
Augusta Strike Last Fall
If any one imagines that this year’s
session of the 1913-1914 general assem
bly of Georgia is going to be a fifty
days' vacation for Its members, that in
dividual should revise his dope. For
if indications can- be relied upon, stren
uous times are ahead, involving some
of the fiercest legislative fights ever
staged at the state capitol.
Perhaps the principal fight and the
most far-reach’ g, will be precipitated
when an effort is made to repeal the
military act passed last year. At least
three different bills, having this ob
ject in view, will be introduced, and it
' is more than probable that a joint com
mittee from the house and senate will
* be appointed to investigate the opera
tion of the present military law as
applied to the Augusta street car strike
last fall.
All three of the Richmond county rep
resentatives are determined upon the re
peal of the law and upon an investiga
tion of the part the militia played in
the Augusta strike. The shooting and
killing of three Augusta citizens who
crossed the military dead line, and the
subsequent exoneration by military
courtmartial of the soldiers who fired
upon these citizens, has led to a wide
spread demand for the repeal of thd
military law.
The Richmond representatives will
have strong support in their# fight from
the representatives of several other
counties. 1 Indeed it is likely that the
repealing bills will be 'introduced by
members from other counties. As far
as can be seen at this time, it appears
that the efforts to repeal the law will
will prove successful,, but not without
a long, hard fight, as the militia of the
state, championed by tome of the lead
ing members of the house and senate, is
opposed to any change.
Opponents of the law, however, will
not be satisfied with anything less than
an amendment which will restore to the
civil authorities the right and power to
control the enforcement of the law in
instances when troops are called out
to aid in preserving peace and prder.
SCHOOL BOOK FIGHT.
Another lively fight will revolve
around bills which will be Introduced
providing for the state to print and dis
tribute its own school bQoks. This con
test will be stimulated by reason of
the fact that in November the present
five-year book contract expires.
Considerable time and attention of the
legislature will be devoted to measures
providing for the creation of new coun
ties. About a half-dozen new counties
will be proposed and each will have
strong and persistent backing.
The new administration is pledged to
enact, if possible, a permanent registra
tion law, supplanting the law passed in
1007.
Other proposed laws which will bring
on fights of more or less magnitude
are: To abolish the sale of near-beer
and eliminate locker clubs, to provide
for complusory education; to create a
state banking department; to revise
the state’s tax system; to put county
officers on salaries instead of fees^ to
rotate judges from one circuit to an
other; to provide for an inheritance tax;
to create a state auditor; to abolish the
offices of solicitor generals and create
in their stead the offices of county prose
cutors.
A hundred or more bills of minor im
portance will be introduced.
. At this coming session the general
assembly must provide for the refunding
of maturing state bonds amounting to
13,600,000.

not sent back to the home he will be
sent to his mother in Fitzgerald at
the expense of the city. The affair has
created much comment here.

C0AST-T0-C0AST STRIKE
THREATENED BY BUILDERS
CHICAGO, June'21.—The prediction
of a coast to coast strike in sympathy
with the Chicago union men locked out
by the Building ConstructionEmployes'
association was made today by Simon
JO’Donnell, president of the Building
^Trades Council.
According .to O’Donnell, union men in
cities throughout the country are
awaiting his word to tie up the con
struction work of the nation. * “How-
jever,” said O’Donnell, “we will hold out
until the last minute before taking
suoh drastlo action."
(Special Dispatch to The' Journal.)
WASHINGTON, June 23.—Here s
what the administration currency bill
provides:
Twelve or more federal reserve banks,
which will be controlled by the govern
ment through a federal reserve board of
seven members, in which the banks will
have no representation.
The reserve board will be composed
of the secretary of the treasury, the sec
retary of agriculture, the comptroller
of the currency as members ex-offlcio;
four other members to be chosen by the
president’ and confirmed by the senate.
The provision of a means for redis
counting commercial paper of specified
types.
A basis for electric notes, properly
safeguarded.
An organization for transacting for
eign banking business.
That national banks and state banks
and trust companies which conform to a
certain standard be stockholders of the
reserve banks. The government will
not hold stock.
That the national bank note circula
tion remain undisturbed; that no plans
be made for retiring aproximately $700,-
000,000 of 2 per cent bonds, though a
separate bill may later be drafted to re
fund these bonds into those of 3 per
cent denominations.
The probable issuance of not more
than $500,000,000 federal reserve treas
ury notes at the discretion of the fed
eral reserve hoard, these notes to be is
sued to make advances to the federal
reserve banks,, which would do no busi
ness with the public, but dea,l only with
their member banks and receive deposits
only from the United States. These
notes would be secured by a gold re
serve of 33 1-3 per cent.
Stringent provisions are made against
counting any of these notes as a part
of bank reserves, and the system' is
guarded against inflation by lodging
power with the federal reserve board to
exact an interest charge upon the treas
ury notes in order to secure their
prompt redemption.
The federal reserve hoard would re
quire one federal reserve bank to re
discount the paper of another, and
would establish a rate of discount not
necessarily uniform for add reserve
banks, but made with a view to ac
commodating the commerce of the coun
try and promoting a stable price level.
For recasting the present batik re
serve system, the bill proposes to trans
fer the reserves from national banks
in the present reserve and central re
serve cities to federal reserve batflts,
carrying the process of transfer over
thirty-eight months to avqjd shock to
market conditions.
The bill proposes "ultimatfely the es
tablishment of a reserve system in
which country banks will have 15 per
cent of Reserve (i. e., 15 per cent of
total demand liabilities), such 15 per
cent to be held 5 per cent In the bank
vaults, 6 per cent with the national re
serve bank and 5 per cent either at
home or with the reserve bank, while
reserve and central reserve city banks
have reserves of 20 per cent of de
mand liabilities, of which 10 per cent
will be at home, 6 per cent with the
reserve bank of tbe district, and 5 per
cent either at home or with the re
serve bank,” the statement says.
“The presumed effect of this plan will
be to end the placing of reserves with
central reserve city banks for use in
stock market operations, to keep re
serves in some measure at home, and
to acquire speculators to get the funds
they need In their operations either by
directly borrowing them from persons
wJio hold them and want to lend the
cash for that purpose, or else by bor
rowing from the banks in the places
where the operations are to be carried
on.”
The Georgia corn show for 1913 was
indorsed in hearty resolutions by the
Fertilizer Dry Mixers’ Association of
Georgia at a luncheon in the M. and M.
club Thursday.
Present at the luncheon were three
members of the chamber of commerce,
who are especially interested in the corn
show. This trio presented the impor
tance of the corn show to the fertiizer
people and told them what had been
done to forward the show this year.
The fertilizer men listened with great
interest to the several speeches that
were made, ahd at their conclusion
unanimously indorsed the show and all
that the chamber of commerce has done
to aid. it. .
Some discussion also took place in
regard to the best methods of interest
ing the farmers of Georgia in modern
methods of corn growing. O. A. Stevens,
of Carlton, Ga., made a speech in which
he said that not only the boys of the
state should be Interested, but the men
as well, and especially the colored pop
ulation, which, he argued, oftentimes is
ready to (take up modern methods.

WASHINGTON. June 23.- Three tired
United States senators came back to
Washington today, after a week of
strenuous investigation in the coal
‘strike district of West Virginia. Sen
ators Swanson, Kenyon and Martine re
turned to the senate to take up their
legislative duties.
During a week in Charleston the com
mittee examined nearly a hundred wit
nesses, worked ten or twelve hours a
day, often sitting until after midnight
and took about 1,000,000 words of testi
mony.
The committee will resuYne hearings
in Washington in a few weeks, and will
take up the charge of the West Virginia
coal operators that the Miners’ union
is In league with operators In the com
petitive fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois to ruin the West Vir
ginia industry. *
When the committee resumes, the
coal operators will press their complaint
that Senator Martine has prejudged the
case against them. They will ask to be
allowed to place in the record written
statements by Senator Martine criticis
ing the operators.
The attitude of sJflator Martine will
be taken up by the sub-committee and
probably will be presented to the full
committee on education and labor.
Trade and Crop Re- -
ports from the South
—FROM BRADSTREET’S.
CHARLESTON, S. C.—Jobbing trade
remains quiet but retail trade is good
owing to clearance sale*. Collections are
slow. Cotton prospects look good.
CHATTANOOGA—Warm weather is
retarding business in all lines and few
orders are being placed. Collections are
slow.
MEMPHIS—Wholesale trade in dry
goods, groceries, hardware and shoes is
active. Manufacturers of furniture re
port sales ahead of last year. Collections
are only fair. The cotton crop is in
excellent condition and prospects are
good.
ATLANTA—Wholesale trade shows a
slight improvement but collections con
tinue slow. Retail trade is fair. Good
weather prevails and the crop outlook
is bright.
BIRMINGHAM—A better Reeling pre
vails in steel and iron. It is expected that
a buying movement will have started by
the end of June. Steel mills are active.
Fabricated steel is in demand at steady
prices. Though lumber is quiet and
lower, there is no interruption in mill
work. Stocks are accumulating, but
dealers say that before summer is over
there will be a decided change for the
better. Cool weather recently had little
effect on trad. Both wholesale and re
tail trade for the month of June is show
ing up fine, and traveling men report
that the smaller merchants are manifest
ing confidence in the future. One of the
biggest of cotton crops is expected.
MOBILE—Jobbers of hardware report
that trade is fairly active, but other
lines are rather quiet. Retail trade is
fairly good. Collections are slow.
MONTGOMERY—Recent cold weather
did very little damage to crops and the
outlook at this time is good. Boll weevil
is reported in many sections, and some
uneasiness is felt. Business in all lines
is quiet and collections are poor.
JACKSON—Crop conditions are good.
Trade, wholesale and retail, is quiet.
Collections are slow.
NEW ORLEANS—A spell of cool
weather retarded crop growth, but good
weather now prevails and all crops are
doing well. Many localities are report
ing the appearance of boll weevil on
young cotton, but strenuous efforts are
being m^de to save the crop. General
trade conditions are rather quiet, but
prospects for good returns from this
year’s crops are favorable. Business
with jobbers is quiet and collections are
only fair.
DALLAS—For the season jobbing
trade is fairly good, but retail dealers
complain that business is quiet. Col
lections are fair. Wheat and oats are
harvested. Yields are good and the
quality is excellent. Good rains
throughout this section have made the
corn crop, which promises to be the
best we have had for years. Cotton,
while late, is in excellent condition.
SAN ANTCL.-J—Wholesale lines re
port that sales are fair. Collections
are poor, but prospects are good. Heavy
rains restrict sales of merchandise, but
enhance crop prospects. Good rains in
southwestern Texas improve growing
corn. Cotton is doing well.
THE CROPS.
Crop reports to Bradstreet’s are, in
the main, good, owing to the occurrence
of much needed, rains in the northwest,
the southwest and the Ohio valley and
the prospect that the moisture may ex
tend eastward to the very dry crop
growing regions of the north Atlantic
states.
Widespread showers are reported to
have fallen in the spring wheat north
west and to have checked deterioratiori
in North Dakota. Parts of South Dako
ta, however, report rain badly needed.
Rains have also fallen in the southwest
along the lines of the Atchison and in
Texas, thus helping corn. Further
east, rain is needed in the corn produc
ing regions of Missouri and Illinois. In
the latter states oats and hay have
been badly hurt. The same condition
holds true in parts of New York, Penn
sylvania and Maryland, where vegetable
growth has been arrested by long con
tinued dry weather.
• Two states of the west, Iowa and
Nebraska, are conspicuous for the good
crop reports sent, and in these wheat,
corn and oats all sent good reports.
Eastern Kentucky and southern Ohio
note good conditions, but western Ken
tucky needs rain badly.
Winter wheat harvesting is now gen
eral as far north as Kansas, and in Illi
nois and Indiana it will be general next
week. The crop generally is a large
one of good quality. Texas wheat and
oats yields have been large and fine In
quality, but Oklahoma acreage yields
of wheat have been light.
The wheat crop in Montana, Wash
ington and Oregon looks very promis
ing, and large yields are reported prob
able.
Exdept for threatened boll weevil
damage in the lower Mississippi valley
and in Alabama, cotton crop reports
are good. Very general rains have fall
en in Texas, and warm weather has
succeeded the recent cool spell in Lou
isiana, Mississippi and Alabama. In
southwest Tennessee and in South Car
olina cotton crop reports are good.
In Virginia tobacco, corn and wheat
all look well, and large yields are prob
able. It has been too dry in Maryland,
and damage to grain and vegetables is
reported. In parts of New York the
weather is too dry, and the hay crop in
the Hudson valley will be short.

NEW SYSTEM OF GRADING
COTTON SEED OIL SOUGHT
(By Associated Press.)
, CHICAGO, June 21.—A uniform sys
tem of grading cottonseed oil is being
sought by the government bureau of
standards according to I. G. Priest, of
the bureau, who addressed the conven
tion of the Society of Cotton Producers
tion of the Society of Cotton Products
Analysts here today.
At present cottonseed oil is graded
according to its color by -matching it
with pieces of yellow glass. This
method is degarded as unsatisfactory
because the color of the glass varies.
About 75 members of the society
from all parts of the south attended
the meeting.
SOUTH AMERICA IS
A HEAVY PURCHASER
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 21.—South

bureau of foreign and domestic com
merce. This increase has amounted dur
ing the last decade to 440 per cent,
whereas the entire world growth of ma
chinery export has been only 173 per

MORGAN’S WILL UPHELD
AS MODEL FOR OTHERS
Daniel S, Remsen Declares
That Wills of Harriman and
Mrs, Eddy Were Not Ideal
(By Associated Press.)
PITTSBURG, June 23.—Daniel S.
Remsen, of the New York bar, an au
thority on the post-mortem administra
tion of wealth, told the members of the
Pennsylvania Bankers’ association today
that the wills of the late Edward H.
Harriman, Albert C. Bostwick, Charles T.
Yerkes, Henry B. Plant, Mrs. Mary Ba
ker G. Eddy, Robert Mather, and other
prominent persons he mentioned, were
unsafe models to follow. As a type of
the “safe and sound” will he cited the
will of J. Pierpont Morgan. Mr. Rem-
sen’s address, delivered at the annual
meeting of the association, was entitled,
“A Plea for the Scientific Preparation
of Wills.”
The way to get better wills, £aid* Mr.
Remsen, was to “make them.” Lawyers
were able and willing if that service was
demanded. The client, he said, “must
give his lawyer a fair chance and de
mand his best service. When his will is
complete he must demand that it be
tested while he is alive and able to re
pair any defects or ambiguities that may
be discovered.” This method, he added,
produced the will of Mr. Morgan.
A “safe” will Mr. Remsen defined as
one free from danger. The word
“sound,” he said, meant “without a
flaw.” The safe will was one s? written
as to insure the fulfillment of the mak
er’s wishes. The sound will was one
that could be enforced even though it
might not insure the result the maker
wished. The Harriman will, he assert
ed, was clearly sound but must be class
ed as unsafe. The will of the late Sam
uel J. Tilden was cited as a conspicuous
example of the will that was both unsafe
and unsound.
“For Mr. Harriman’s purpose,” he
said, “his will is not open to criticism.
When, however, it becomes the subject
of great praise in the public press as
a model for the preparation of other
wills I cannot, in justice to the thou
sands of innocent people all over this
country who have copied this will as
their own, let this opportunity pass
without sounding a note of warning. Do
not misunderstand me. Mr. Harriman
and his lawyers knew the conditions
with which they were dealing. They
were preparing Mr. Harriman’s will,
not a precedent for other wills. It Is
only when this will is viewed as a
precedent, when people copy It, when it
is used to fit quite different financial
and family circumstances that it pre
sents objectionable features. Indeed, all
wills may be said to present objection
able features when used as precedents
without competent legal advice.
SETH LOW URGES ERDMAN
ACT BROADENING
WASHINGTON, June 20.—-Seth Low,
of the national civic federation, Judge
Martin A. Knapp, of the commerce
court, and representatives of leading
bothehoodsr of railway employes, urged
the proposed amendment to broaden tbe
Erdman arbitration act at a hearing to
day by a joint congressional commit
tee. '
“Unless the law is revised in the
near future,” said Mr. Low, “this coun
try in all probability will face the most
serious railroad labor difficulties in
its history.”

Arrives

arrival of the federal commander, Gen

he will have the railroad running be
fore the end of this month.
To the north of Monterey the rail
road is open to Golonorinas, ninety
miles south of Nuevo Laredo. North of
San Luis Potoai It is open almost to
Venegas. Between them and Saltillo
in the state of Coahuila, however, many
bridges have been cut.
Gustavo Maas, with a column of fed
eral troops recently sent from the capi
tal, has reached Venegas and is operat
ing from there.
General Joaquin Tellez reported #today
that he has had seven fights witn the
rebels between Villa Lama, in the state
of Nuevo Leon and Nuevo Laredo, in
the state of Tan\aulipas.
The heaviest engagement took place
two days ago when the federal troops
succeeded in recapturing the town of
Lampazos, in Nuevo Leon, after inflict
ing great losses on the rebels. #
Three boat loads of troops are ex
pected to leave Tampico and Vera Cruz
tomorrow. They are to disembark near
the mouth of the Rio Grande for Carta
Matamoras.
