QUIT HIE CABINET
Attorney General Called "A
Burden of Embarrassment
to the Administration " by
Big Democratic Newspaper
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 30.—Con
gressional circlesn were storred today
over an editorial in the New York World
demanding that Attorney General James
C. Reynolds resign his place in Presi
dent Wilson’s cabinet.
Following so closely upon the heels of
Congressman Sims’ speech in the house,
j.'®«tArday. in which he read correspond
ence indicating that McReynolds had
commended to his serious consideration
the views of a prominent railroad at
torney n drafting legislation for the
abolition of the commerce court, the
World editorial was regarded as highly
Significant. f
Tonght there are many persons in
Washington who predict that McRey
nolds will “not last six months longer
a cabinet officer."
£ A BURDEN SAYS “WORLD."
“Mr. McReynolds’s action in the so-
dalled “white slave” cases has made
61m a burden of embarrassment to the
administration," says the world edito-
rial. “It is now evident that he wll be
9- contnuing burden of embarrassment f
lie remains at the head of the depart
ment of pjustice. He has put both the
administration and the Democratic party
on the defensive, and bothn of them
Save infinitely mpre important business
tlian that of disappointing their enemies
h making unnecessary excuses.
“Mr. McReynolds has given to the
enemies of the Wilson administration
their first opening. He has proved to
be the weak spot in the president’s ar
mor.
“As long as he remains in the office
of the attorney genral, the department
of justice will be under suspiclan. It is
the point at which the Wilson admin
istration will be attacked at every turn,
and it is the point at which the admin
istration can not afford to be attacked.
The confidence that is imperative has
been forfeited, dt can be restored only
by the retirement of McReynolds and
the appointment of an attorney general
who will not reepat the blunders that
have destroyed McReynolds’ usefulness.”
The immediate basis of the World’s
editorial is the recent action of Mc-
Reyonlds with reference to the Cami-
netti-Diggs “white slave" prosecutions
in California, and the western "Fuel
cases." The World was not aware,
when the editorial was written, of
Congressman Sims’ disclosures with
reference to the attorney general and
the commerce court.
MR. M’REYNOLDS’ LETTER.
In the correspondence between Judge
Sims and the attorney general concern
ing the commerce court, the following
letter written by McReynolds to the
congressman has attracted much atten
tion among the house members, as pub
lished in the Record today:
“My dear congressman:
* “I am sending you herewith a copy
oi a letter from my friend, Mr. Hines,
who for a long time has been con
nected with interstate commerce litiga
tion as a representative of the railroads.
What he says is always worthy of very
serious consideration and I commend
his suggestions to you. Very truly
yours, J. C. McReynolds, Attorney Gen
eral.”
The “Mr. Hines” referred to by Mc
Reynolds is Walker D. Hines, of New
York, an official of the Santa Fe rail
road, and formerly general counsel for
the Louisville and Nashville railroad.
. The embarrassing situation in which
the attorney general has been placed
has not aroused much sympathy for
him among Democratic members of
congress. Comparatively, few Demo
crats have received much, if any con
sideration at the department of jus
tice since McReynolds’ appointment.
He paid practically no attention to poli
tics, and his failure to displace Repub
lican office holders with Democrats has
aroused much resentment. His reten
tion of his predecessor's private secre
tary and appointment of a Republican
assistant attorney general have been
criticised widely.
Mr, M 1 Reynolds Declares
Sims'- Note Misunderstood
WASHINGTON, June 28.—Attorney
General McReynolds favors the contin
uation of the commerce court. He
said so tonight, in a statement in re
ply to a speech by Representative
Sims, of Tennessee, in the house Fri
day, in which Mr. Sims read into the
record correspondence with the attor
ney general, which Mr. McReynolds be
lieves created the impression that he
favored abolishing the court.
SENATE CAUCUS HEARS
END DF TARIFF TALK
Administrative Features and
Income Tax Alone Remain,
Debate Due July 4
WASHINGTON .June 80.—Impatient
at delay in getting: the tariff bill be
fore the senate, administration leaders,
headed by Chairman Simmons, of the
finance committee, spurred the Demo
crats to action today in the tariff cau
cus, and tonight consideration of all the
schedules practically had been com
pleted.
During the day the caucus approved
the wool manufacturers, silk, paper and
flax, hemp and lute schedules, and to
night took up sundries and the free list,
to be followed Monday by consideration
of the administrative features and in-
come tax section. *
Surprising to many of the senators,
the caucus passed through the commit
tee amendments today without much
friction and no changes were made
in any of the schedules, although at the
request pf the committe a few items
of the wool schedule were referred
back. In the wool schedule the com
mittee suggested that combed tops and
noils, which are dutiable in the bill at
15 per cent, might be further reduced,
if not put on the free list, and this
was referred back for further recom
mendation, together with the item on
blankets valued at less than 40 cents,
which the committee probably will rec
ommend to be placed on the free list.
The action of the committee in trans
ferring raw hemp, flax and jute to the
free list was approved by the caucus
without discussion. The committee
changes in the silk schedule substi
tuting specific for ad valorem rates
also were approved and no changes
were made in the paper schedule, print
paper valued at not more than 2 1-2
cents a pound being left on the unre
stricted free list as in the bill which
passed the house.
Early in the day the only enlivening
discussion occurred upon an amend
ment by Senator Ashurst to put on
the free list all woolen goods in gen
eral use, such as cloth, women’s and
children’s dress goods; ready made
clothing, stockings and the like. It
was argued that the Democratic plat
form, in declaring for tariff reductions
which would lower the cost of living,
justified placing all clothing on, the
free list. Members of the finance com
mittee strenuously opposed such a wide
reduction, however, and the Ashurst
amendment was voted down by a large
majority.
Senator Simmons tonight declared the
caucus had at last shown a disposi
tion to hasten its work and he believed
the bill could be completed by Monday
night or Tuesday at the latest, al
though considerable difference of opin
ion is anticipated when the income
tax is reached. As amended by the
finance committee, reducing the normal
exemption from $4,000 to $3,000 for
single persons, the revenue to be de
rived is estimated to be about the
same as the estimated revenue under
the house bill—$80,000,000. Reduction
of the general exemption ,it was fig
ured, would be about equalized by the
additional exemptions for married men
or women and for children dependent
upon the income of a parent.
The duty on oil paintings was raised
from 16 per cent by the Democratic
senate tariff caucus tonight, and gun
powder and fulminating caps were trans
ferred to the free list. A vote on the
free list was not taken, but it will be
passed upon Monday.

DAN HUGHES BILL BE
ASSISTANT TO PRICE
Son of Congressman From
Georgia to Be Named in
State Agricultural Dept.
FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of Coffee Troubles
“Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit ,and finally his stomach and
kidneys got in such a bad condition that
he was compelled to give up a good posi
tion that he had held for years. 1-Ie
wag too sick to work. His skin was
yellow, and there didn’t seem to be
an organ in his body that was not af
fected.
“I told him I felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
“It was a struggle, because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it
and then it was easy to leave off coffee.
“His fearful headaches grow less
frequent, his compexion began to clear,
kidneys grew better until at last he
was a new man altogether, as a result of
leaving off coffee and taking up Postum.
Then I began to drink it too.
“Although I was never as bad off as
my husband, I was always very nervous
and never at any time very strong, only
weighing 95 lbs. before- I began to use
Postum. Now I weigh 115*lbs. and can
do as much work as anyone my size,
I think."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, “The
Road to Wellville."
Postum oomes in two forms.
Begolar Postum (must be boiled.)
Instant Postum doesn’t require boil
ing, but is prepared instantly by stir
ring a level teaspoonful in an ordinary
cup of hot water, which makes it right
for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some
people who like strong things put in a
heaping spoonful and temper it with a
large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the amount
-that pleases your palate and have it
served that way in the future.
'There’s & Reason" for Postum.
MEXICAN REBELS ARE
BEGINNING TO GATHER
(By Associated Press.)
EL PASO, Tex., June 28.—Col. C. A
P. Hatfield, commanding the United
States border patrol west of El Paso,
reported today to Qeneral Hugh L.
Scott the arrival of Pancho Villa and
his force of rebels at Palomas, on the
border opposite Columbus, N. M.
Another band of rebels under Juan

MAYBE JACK JOHNSON
HAS GONE FOR GOOD
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 27.—rJack John
son, the negro pugilist, has made
good his escape from the United States
for the time being at least, and can
neither be extradited nor deported from
Canada, according to the latest official
view here.
If the United States circuit court of
appeals sustains the negro’s conviction
his one-year sentence for violating the
white slave law will be enforced any
time he returns to the United States.
NEW Y0RK-MEMPHIS
LIMITED WRECKED
(By Associated Press.)
BRISTOL, Va.-Tenn., June 28.—New
York and Memphis limited, No. 25 was
wrecked near Greenevilie, Tenn., on the
Southern Railway at 6:30 o’clock this
afternoon. Three coacfhes left the rails,
but no one was injured seriously. The
train was delayed until late tonight.
Dan G. Hughes, of Danville, Twiggs
county, son of Congressman Dudley M.
Hughes, of the Twelfth district, is to
be the new assistant commissioner of
agriculture. His appointment will be
announced by Commissioner J. D. Price,
of Farmington, on Monday, immediate
ly after that official takes his oath of
office before Governor Slaton.
Mr. Hughes will succeed J. J. Brown,
of Bowman, who has been the assist
ant under J. J. Conner, the retiring
commissioner. It is not believed that
there will be any other immediate
changes in the forces of the agricul
tural department.
The new assistant is a member of the
State Agricultural society, and through
that connection he has been an active
and effective supporter of the Georgia
State fair, which is held annually un
der the auspices of the society.
He has also been closely associated
with the officials of the rarmers’ union,
the farm demonstration work, the boys’
corn club movement and other progres
sive factors, ahd the indorsements of
his candidacy by the leading spirits of
these organizations testify in flattering
terms to the regard in which he is held
by them.
Mr. Hughes has been a farming farm
er ever since leaving college, and there
is nothing of the theorist about him.
His only ventures into print have been
articles in the daily and farm press dis
cussing the conditions surrounding the
tenant former in southern states and
the best means of making them farm
owners.
He has been a close student of farm
problems, and his hobby has been the
development of a system of keeping
accurate records of farm operations
which will show the exact cost of grow
ing each crop.
In his opinion, instead of preaching
diversification or stock-raising as ab
stract principles, demanding a change in'
our farming system, it will be much
more efficacious to develop a method
that will show the profit or the loss in
the one-crop plan in plain figures that
will convince the most conservative
farmer.
The same fundamental fact applies
to the use of antiquated farming tools
as against modern implements and cul
tural methods. He has worked out
his system by actual observation and
daily records for several years on his
plantation and also on a one-horse
farm.

SAN DIEGO, Cal., June 30.—With
accommodations for fifty passengers,
the Mexican steamer, Benito Juarez,
arirved here today from Mazatlan and
Guaymas, Mexico, with 115 refugees.
Small pox was raging in Guaymas,
the price of food was prohibitive and
the Mexican troops made life unbear
able for Americans, the refugees de
clared.
Five members of a party of thirty-
five Americans who walked 250 miles
to Guaymas through the war zone ar
rived on the steamer. They asserted
they were escorted into Guaymas by
troops, robbed of all their money and
left to shift for themselves. According
to their count there were about 3,500
rebels in the territory through which
they passed.
Thirteen women and children of the
Yberri family of Guaymas, said to be
the wealthiest on the west Mexican

BlflLOCK FOR COLLECTOR
Fayetteville Man's Name Sent
to Senate for Big Federal
Job in Atlanta
WASHINGTON ,June 30.—The presi
dent today sent the following nomina-
tloss to the senate:
Colector of customs for the district
of Florida, James F. G. Griggs, of
Florida.
Collector of internal revenue, district
of Georgia, Aaron O. Blalock, Georgia
United States attorney eastern dis
trict or Louisiana, Walter L. Guion,
Louisiana.
Davis and Barrow
Nominations Delayed
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON. D. C., June 27.-—As
predicted exclusively in these dispatch
es a week or ten days ago, A. O. Bla
lock ,of Fayetteville, today was nomi
nated by President Wilson as internal
revenue collector for the state of Geor
gia, vice Henry S. Jackson. Blalock
was nominated on the recommendation
of Senator Hoke Smith.
The nominations of Joseph S. Davis,
of Albany for United States marshal,
for south Georgia, and David C. Bar-
row for customs collector at Savan
nah, did not come in today. Their ap
pointments were recommended by Sen
ator- Bacon some days ago. It is un
derstood there is no objection to the
appointment of Barrow, but the an
nouncement of Davis' selection by Mr.
Bacon has aroused a storm of protest
that has reached the White House.
/ When Senator Smith recommended
the nomination of Blalock, it was an
nounced through the press that Senator
aBcon had called at the White House
to voice his opposition to th,e nomina
tion unless a place was found for Cal
vin M. Hitch ,of Atlanta, whom Bacon
wanted for this place.
Senator Smith was unyielding in his
support of Blalock for the position,
however, and it is believed that Mr.
Bacon did not press his opposition to
the appointment.
It may be stated that a place will be
probably found for Hitch, as both of
the senators are anxious that he shall
receive recognition from the adminis
tration. Senator Bacon is no more
anxious to have Hitch rewarded than
is his colleague, and it is understood
that Senator Smith has assurances
from a cabinet office that Hitch will
be given a desirable appointment in
due course of time.
BATTLE AGAIN ON TO
EXTEND IN. ft A. TD SEA
Senate and House Resolutions
Ask Purchase of Atlantic,
Waycross & Northern
The ancient proposition of extending
the Western and Atlantic railroad to
the sea was revived in new guise in
the state senate Friday by a resolution
from Senator J. L. Sweat, of the Fifth
district, asking the appointment of a
commission to investigate St. Marys us
a. water terminal, by way of the South
ern and the Atlantic, Waycross and
Northern railroads.
The scheme was advanced some time
ago by owners of the Atlantic, Way-
cross and Northern, a short road now
operating from St. Marys on tide wa
ter to Kingsland. It is proposed that
the state buy that strip of the South
ern railroad running from Atlanta to
Fort Valley, build a road already sur
veyed from Fort Valley to Kingsland
by way of Wacross and there unite with
the Atlantic, Waycross and Northern.
Senator* Sweat’s ' resolution provides
for the appointment of a commission
named by the governor to look into the
advisability of the purchase.
This commission, according to the
provision of the resolution, is to be
composed of one lawyer, two expert rail
road men and two business men and is
to be named by the governor as soon
as the resolution is approved.
This route was recently under dis
cussion in and around the offices of*
the state railroad commission when it
was proposed by S. Guyt McLendon, at
torney for the owners of the Atlantic,
Waycross and *Northern railroad.
A resolution to the same effect was
Introduced in the house.

eral.

SENATOR SMITH APPEALS
FOR E. POKING AS SUPT.
Presented to Postal Officials.
Austin oNt Made Chief
Clerk as Reported
BT BALFH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, June 27.—Edward P.
King - , of Atlanta, who is an applicant
for superintendent of the railway mail
service of the fourth division, was
presented to postal officials by Senator
Hoke Smith this morning. The sena
tor made a strong appeal for Mr. King’s
promotion to the superintendency and
feels that the character of indorse
ments presented by Mr. King entitle
him to the office.
W. L. M. Austin, also of Atlanta, is
King’s chief rival for the position and
it is believed by Austin's friends that
his appointment as chief clerk of ex
aminations of the division presages his
early promotion to the superintedeney
over the head of Mr. King, who is
r.ow hi ssuperior in rank.
The statement that Mr. Austn had
been appointed chief clerk of the di
vision, vice Charles Ragert was erro
neous, and due to the fact that the two
chief clerkships were confused. It is
understood, however, that Rager will
be relieved as chief clerk of the di
vision at Atlanta, but this may not be
done until the reorganization of the
fourth division is definitely decided
upon.

RESINOL STOPS
ITCHING INSTANTLY
It is a fact that the moment Resinol
Ointment touches itching skins the itch
ing stops and healing begins. With the
aid of Resinol Soap, it almost always
clears away all trace of eczema, ring
worm, pimples, blackheads or other tor
menting, unsightly eruption quickly,
leaving the skin clear and healthy.
And the best of it is you need never
hesitate to use Resinol Soap and Resi
nol Ointment. There is nothing in them
to injure the tenderest surface. Resi
nol is a doctor’s prescription which for
eighteen years has been used by care
ful physicians for all kinds of skin af
fections. They prescribe Resinol freely,
confident that its soothing, healing
action is brought about by medication
so bland and gentle as to be suited to
the most delicate or irritated skin—
even of a tiny baby.
Practically every druggist sells Resi
nol Ointment (50c and $1) and Resinol
Soap (26c). Prescribed for eighteen
years for itching, burning skin troubles,
sunburn, pimples, blackheads, dandruff,
ulcers, boils, stubborn sores, and piles.

I have in my possesion a prescription for
nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened man
hood, failing memory and Tame back, brought
on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the fol
lies of youth, that has cured so many worn
and nervous men right in their own homes—
without any additional help or medicine—that
I think every man who wishes to regain his
manly power and virility, quickly and quietly
should have a copy. So I have determined to
send a copy of the preparation free of charge
in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope, to any
man who will write us for it.
This prescription comes from a physician who
has made a special study of men, and I am
convinced it is the surest-acting combination
for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor
failure ever put together.
I think I owe it to my fellowman to aend
them a copy in confidence so that any man
anywhere who is weak and discouraged with
repeated failures may stop drugging himself
with harmful patent medicines, secure what I
believe Is the quickest acting restorative, up
building, SPOT-TOUCHING? remedy ever de
vised, and so cure himself at home quietly
and quickly. Just drop me a line like this:
Dr. A. E. Robinson, 3771 Luck Bulding, De
troit, Mich., and I will send you a copy of
this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary en
velope, free of charge. A great many doctors
would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing
out a prescription like this—but 1 send it en
tirely free.— (Advt.)
