OMi 2 » THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA„ TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1913. I SOUTHERNERS NAMED TO FOREIGN POSTS MILITARY LAW TO BE HERE flflE THE PROVISIONS IE STiTF I FRIRIIITIIRF ^ ew Administration Bill Will UIHIL LLUIULHIUIIL Make Many Changes in System MINE PROBERS RETURN TO CAPITAL FOR REST During Week 100 Witnesses Were Examined on W, Va, 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. (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., June 21.—Because he 'is said to have remained away from ;the Georgia Industrial home longer than he should, while out picking blackber ries, Marvin Williford, ten years old Tand an inmate at the home, is alleged 5to have been whipped yesterday after- jnodn by W.

If he is 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. AUTO TRUCK CRUSHES MACON LAD TO DEATH MAC0N, Ga., June 20.—Garard Hall "Waller, son of Mr. dnd Mrs. G. II. Wal ler, of 855 Walnut street, died last night from injuries sustained yesterday after noon. when he was run down on Mul berry street by a heavy automobile truck. The lad was plajing fn the streets when the truck came by, and thinking that he might enjoy a ride, he boarded the side of the machine. hWen he was being assisted from his position to the street at Mulberry and Second streets, tie fell directly In the path of the ma- 'chine and was run over.

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.

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.

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.

BOY OF TEN CHARGES OVERSEER WHIPPED HIM Officials Investigating Allega tions Against Georgia In- * dustrial Home Supervisor FERTILIZER MEN HAVE INDORSED CORN SHOW Resolutions Approving Work Chamber of Commerce Is Doing 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.” Club Standing SOUTHERN SOUTH ATLANTIC.

HUERTA’S SOLDIERS REACH NUEVO LAREDO After Seven Firece Battles With Rebels, General Teiiez Arrives (By Associated Press.) MEXICO CITY, Jur*> 23.—News of the arrival of the federal commander, Gen eral Joaquin Tellez, at Nuevo Laredo, has caused great satisfaction here. Gov ernment supporters profess to believe that this means early opening of traffic on the National railway. The report has been unofficially cir culated that the opening of the line would bring recognition of the Mexican administration by the United States. General Urelio Blanquet, the minister of war, has promised the cabinet that 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.
