WILL BE DIVISION
Reorganization of Railway Mail
Service for Fourth Division
Completed—First Details of
Appointments
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, July 10.—The reor-
ganlzation of the railway mail service
for the fourth division, embracing the
states of Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
South Carolina and Tennessee, was
perfected yesterday afternoon by Post
master General Burleson, after a con
ference with General Superintendent
Alex H. Stephens and Second Assistant
Postmaster General Stewart.
Harry M. Robinson, a native Atlan-
tian, becomes superintendent of the
division, with headquarters in Atlanta,
vice George W. Pepper, transferred to
Cleveland, Ohio, as a chief clerk.
Edward P. King, of Atlanta, retains
his place as assistant superintendent.
George S. Cobb, of Cartersville, be
comes chief clerk at Atlanta, vice
Charles E. Rager, transferred to San
Francisco, as chief clerk of the eighth
division.
W. L. M. Austin, of Atlanta, is pro
moted to a chief clerkship and trans
ferred from the Atlanta-Charlotte run
to Jacksonville, Fla., vice Charles S.
Beavers, transferred to Pittsburg, Pa,,
as chief clerk.
CHANGES EFFECTICE SOON.
The official order making the changes
as outlined will be issued today or
Thursday, and becomes effective just as
soon as the transfers can be made. It
is understood that both Pepper and Ra
ger are ready to leave Atlanta on a
moment’s notifce, and it is believed that
Beavers will quit his post at Jackson
ville at the first opportunity, so that
the entire shift will be operative with
in a week or ten days.
Harry Robinson, the new superinten
dent at Atlanta, leaves a similar posi
tion in the twelfth division, with head
quarters at New Orleans. No one has
been selected to fill the vacancy thus
created, and the duties of the New Or
leans office will be performed by John
Day, the assistant superintendent of
the twelfth division.
It may be three months or more be
fore a superintendent is selected for
New Orleans. It is believed he will be
chosen from among King. Cobb and
Austin.
Mr. Robinson is one of the best
known men in the service, with which
he has been identified for years. He
was in charge of the United States
mails in Cuba during the Spanish-
American war, and made such a fine
record that he was sent to China by
the postoffice department during the
Boxer uprising. Later he established
the mail service in Alaska. When the
twelfth division was created some
years ago, he was given its superinten
dency in recognition of his ability.
He is very popular with the clerks of
the fourth division, among whom he
worked for many years.
George Cobb, the new chief clerk at
Atlanta, has worked for many >ears in
the railway mail service. He is at pres
ent a “clerk in charge” on the Atlanta-
Nashville railway postoffice. His record
for efficiency is without a blemish, and
the postoffice department believes that
he is the man of all men to handle the
Atlanta chief clerkship, which is the
most important in the division.
The announcement of Mr. Cobb’s se
lection for the Atlanta office will occa
sion considerable surprise. ITis name
has not been previously mentioned in
connection with the reorganization of
the division. He is naturally modest
and retiring, and it remained for Paul
B. Trammell, the Georgia railroad com
missioner, Thomas Lumpkin, of Bartow
county and other friends of Mr. Cobb
to present his name to the postoffice de
partment. Their recommendations
were more than substantiated by the
young man’s record, and his selection
followed as a matter of course.
W. L. M. Austin who goes to Jack
sonville as chief clerk was an active
applicant for the superintendency of the
division and was strongly indorsed for
the position by a number of senators
and congressmen. He has been in the
service fo many years and has a fine
record.
The reorganization of the railway
mail service in the fourth division has
been under consideration by Postmaster
General Burleson for several weeks. It
presented a difficult problem on its
face, which w r as aggravated by the riv
alry between Austin and Edward P.
King, of Atlanta, for the place of sup
erintendent. The department does not
consider it a reflection upon Mr. Austin
that he was transferred to Jacksonville,
with a promotion, nor upon Mr. King
that he was retained as assistant sup
erintendent at Atlanta. It is the belief
of postoffice officials that the changes
as agreed upon solve the problem of the
situation satisfactorily and will make
for an improved service.
New York's Efforts Commend-
ed-Recommend System for
All Public Schools
(By As ociated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 10.—Commenda
tion of the wopk of the vocational
guidance survey of New York City is
contained in a statement issued today
by the United States bureau of educa
tion. The bureau is in sympathy with
vocational training and has advocated
its adoption in the public schools of
the country. The bureau quotes from
a report just issued by the New York
organization and applauds its thorough
ness and the methods employed.
“On one point the New York report
is unusually explicit/’ the bureau offi
cials commend. "There are no jobs for
children under sixteen which they
ought to take,” it declares. Further
more it emphasizes the need for more
information about industrial conditions
before attempting to steer bdys and
girls into positions.’ /
Commissioner of Education Claxton
has preached the need of specialization
in educating the youth to officials of
his bureau, but the New York City or
ganization is the first of other civic
and state educational organizations
that will take up the question and ad
vocate it.
DETECTIVES BAFFLED IN
T FOB GIRL’S SLAYER
Two Suitors of Young Woman,
Questioned by Police, Pro
test Innocence
(By Associated Press.)
WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 10.—Detec
tives seeking to clear up the mystery
of the death of Alice Crispell, the eigh-
teen-year-old girl whose body was
found in Harvey’s lake Monday, were
no nearer their goal today. Friends of
the Crispell family now believe that the
young woman was not murdered, some
of them advancing the theory that she
might have fallen accidentally into the
lake.
While Herbert Johns was kept in jail
on suspicion, Harris Cann, of Wilkes-
barre, mentioned in a letter Johns re
cently wrote to Miss Crispell, was
questioned. He denied all knowledge
of the case and said he believed Johns
innocent.
One of the clues the police are fol
lowing is a report that Miss Crispell
was to have favored, between Cann and
Johns, the first one who swam the wid
est part of Harvey’s lake, a distance of
more than two miles.
“Ice Trust” in Queer
Role; Starts Fight
For. Cheaper Prices
NEW YORK. July* 10.—War between
wholesale ice dealers has created a sit
uation without precedent in New York,
that of the so-called ice trust fighting
for lower prices.
The company—the Knickerbocker—is
selling wholesale at $4 a ton; competi
tors are charging $5 and $6. As a re
sult the Knickerbocker is swamped by
demands and faces a shortage. It says
it will not raise the price and the presi
dent has issued a statement appealing
to the other companies to reduce their
prices to attract the business the Knick
erbocker cannot handle. The other deal
ers refused to come down.
TEMPERANCE BILL WILL
STRENGTHEN WEBB LAW
A temperance bill which will “gather
the friuts” of the Webb-Kenyon bill
against interstate shipments of liquor,
will be introduced in the legislature at
this session.
It has been decided not to introduce
the Tippins bill, or any measure like
it, at this session. This plan was agreed
on at a meeting of the legislative com
mittee of the Georgia Anti-Saloon league
which was held at the Weslay Memorial
church Tuesday night.

—Edmond Audemara. the Swiss flying
man, left the aerodrome here at 4
o’clock this morning on a flight to
Paris.
SUFFRAGISTS GIVEP
OF HOUSE HULL,
Mrs. Whiteside Criticises Mrs,
McLendon, and Latter Ex
presses Her Views of Mrs,
Whiteside and State Senate
Use of the hall of the house of rep
resentatives was granted to the Geor
gia Womans Suffrage association by the
members of the house Wednesday
morning.
Mrs. Frances S. Whiteside, chairman
of the educational committee of the At
lanta Civic league, issued a public
statement in which she declared that
the members of the civic league “most
heartily condemn the drastic measures
now being used by Mrs. Mary L. Mc
Lendon and her friends,” and added
“we know too well the ability of our
general assembly, to show such child
ish anger.”
The Georgia senate again refused to
allow to the women suffragists the use
of that hall.
The senate filibustered 45 minutes
with an invitation from the associa
tion to attend its meetngs, and final
ly laid the invitation on the table.
The leaders of the suffrage associa
tion planned for the first of their state
meetings Wednesday evening in the
house of representatives.
And members of the senate, who are
friendly to the cause of woman suffrage,
declared their purpose of hammering
away for recognition if not approval
of the cause, until success rewards
their efforts.
These were the interesting develop
ments Wednesday forenoon in the sen
sation which the Georgia senate preci
pitated the other day when it refused
flatly to allow the “votes for women”
advocates to meet there.
MRS. WHITESIDE’S CARD.
Following is Mrs. Whiteside’s card:
“Atlanta, Ga., July 9, 1913.
“Atlanta Journal: The Atlanta Civic
league, the only suffrage association in
the state that has been recognied by
the national, most heartily condemn the
drastic measures now being used by
Mrs. Mary L. McLendon and her friends.
We know to well the ability of our
general assembly to show such childish
anger, even if our self-respect permit
ted.
“One woman of Illinois secured the
co-operation of their legislature by dig
nified and statesmanlike measures.
When our legislature sees that our wom
en really want the ballot they will be
as magnanimous as Illinois.
“The Atlanta Civic league is adding
rapidly to its membership. The execu
tive committee have decided to unite
directly with the national. This matter
will be brought before the league this
afternoon for their indorsement. The na
tional are heartily in sympathy with
our progressive methods, and proffer
any assistance in their power.
(Signed)
“MRS .FRANCES S. WHITESIDE,
“Chairman Educational Committee, At
lanta- Civic League,”
SENATORS INVITED.
While the house of representatives
was granting to the Georgia Woman’s
Suffrage association the use of that
hall, the senate, right across the capi-
tol, was arguing for the same question.
The wrangle began immediately after
the senate convened, when a message
was read inviting the senate to attend
the meetings of the suffrage associa
tion. The mere question as to whether
or not this invitation should be ac
cepted aroused at once a veritable
“mountain out of a mole hill” discus
sion.
It was moved that the invitation be
accepted, but hardly had the roll call
for. the ayes and nays had been started
when Senator B. S. Miller, of the Twen
ty-fourth, proposed that the resolution
accepting the invitation be laid on the
table.
The vote on Senator Miller’s motion
had almost reached its conclusion and
those in favor and against it were run
ning neck and neck when Senator John
T Allen, of the Twentieth, moved that
Senator Miller be allowed to withdraw
his motion tabling the resolution of ac
ceptance. The senate voted 17 to 16 in
favor of withdrawal.
AGAIN MOVES TO TABLE.
Hardly had this vote been concluded
when Senator Stark, of the Thirty-third,
renewed the motion tabling the resolu
tion. Again the roll was called. Sen
ators arose right and left to explain
their vote. The old arguments for and
against woman’s suffrage were aired
once more. Yet the final count showed
that the senators were in favor of ta
bling the resolution of acceptance by a
vote of 22 to 18.
1ANIELS DECIDES FATE
OF HAWAII NAVAL BASE
Future of-Pearl Harbor, Near
Honolulu, to Be Fixed by
Naval Experts
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 10.—Secretary
Daniels today will decide whether the
great naval dock at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, shall be completed according to
the original plans or work on it aban
doned.
Much of the secretary’s decision will
depend on the recommendation of Rear
Admiral Homer B. Stanford, head of the
bureau of yards and docks, who has
been investigating the recent accident in
which the bottom of the great work
collapsed when the water was with
drawn. F. R. Harris, an engineer of
the department has made a report on
conditions existing at the work. Ad
miral Stanford has had this before him
for some days and upon it his recom
mendation largely will be used.
When the work at Pearl Harbor was
undertaken it was expected that the
docks would eventually afford a virtual
ly impregnable rendezvous for the fleet.
The desire of the navy department to
have the work completed in time for
the opening of the Panama canal, ac
counts for the department’s desire for
an early determination of the matter.
RAILROADS AND TRAINMEN
BREAK OFF NEGOTIATIONS
Eastern Labor Situation Un-
settled—Erie Ry. Declines to
Treat With Men
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, July 10.—Preliminary to
a general meeting of the so-called com
mittee of 1.000 on Saturday, at which
the strike vote recently taken will be
ratified, minor committees of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen and the
Order of Railway Conductors held a
conference In New York today to dis
cuss the situation relative to the wage
dispute with forty-five eastern rail
roads.
Negotiations with the roads were
practically broken off yesterday with
the refusal of the managers’ committee
to consider the men’s demand for a 20
per cent wage increase, and the situa
tion was further complicated by the
withdrawal from the proceedings of the
Erie railroad and subsidiaries on the
ground that they could not afford, to be
party to any conferences looking to
wage increases.
President Garretson, of the conduc
tors, said today there was little new
in the situation, and that the unions
probably would have nothing to an
nounce until after Saturday’s meeting.
Burglar Picks Court
House, Churches and
Morgues for Forays
Suffragettes Can’t
Decide on Uniform
For Women Coppers
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO. July 10.—It is the opinion
of Chicago suffragists that a woman
policeman—Mayor Harrison has asked
that ten of them be appointed—should
have the following qualifications;
She must be “husky.”
She must have nerve.
She must have had experience in so
cial service.
She must understand young people.
She must have common sense.
She must have ideals.
The demand for a corps of police
women has created considerable excite
ment among the many thousands of
new women voters. The suffragists
were keen in their discussion of what
uniform the policewoman should wear.
All agreed she should have a star. The
more militant believed that she should
carry a revolver, but none took kindly
to the idea of a policewoman swinging
a club.
Mrs. Gertrude Howe Britton, of the
Juvenile Protective league, who was
chiefly influential in persuading the
mayor that Chicago needs policewomen,
asserted that the women officers should
not be armed, but “should make their
way with women’s weapons, the chief
of which is common sense.”
$106,625,000 Yearly
As Corporation and
Income Tax Revenue
WASHINGTON, July 8.—Total yearly
revenues of the corporation tax and
the income tax section of the new tariff
bill as revised by the senate were esti
mated today at $106,625,000 by the com
missioner of internal revenue in sta
tistics prepared for Chairman Simmons,
of the finance committee.
The corporation tax is expected to
yield $37,000,000 and the income tax
$69,626,000. As the income tax cannot
operate for the first two months of
this year, the total revenue for 1913 will
be decreased to $95,000,000. These es
timates are higher than those for the
bill as it passed the house.
fSoeMal Dispatch to The Journal.!
COLUMBUS, July 10.—Will Smith,
a burly negro, weighing 250 pounds, and
55 years old, is believed to be the mys
terious burglar who has been operat
ing in Columbus during the past month,
breaking into the temple of justice, the
Church of the Holy Family and local
undertaking establishments.
Smith is behind the bars and has al
ready confessed to burglarizing the
church. He was arrested by the police
department last night on suspicion of
robbing the high school building, which
was entered and ransacked a few nights
ago.
The negro admits that he is an ex
convict, having served a long term be
fore for burglary. He appears to be a
professional and the police believe him
to be the mysterious thief who has been
operating here so long.

Hill, his summer home, John D. Rocke
feller t^ill celebrate today his seventy
fourth birthday. With only one or two
of his Cleveland friends present, the
day will be passed quietly. His broth
er-in-law, George A. Rudd, and family
are absent from the city, and there will

TIFT0N YOUTH TAKEN TO
PHILA. ON FELONY CHARGE
TIFTON, Ga,, July 10.—Detective
Frank K. Lowry, of the Philadelphia
Bureau of Police, left here Monday
night for Philadelphia with Harry L.
Kramer, who was arrested by Chief of
Police Thrasher on a warrant from
Philadelphia charging embezzlement.
It is alleged that Kramer collected
for a wholesale shirt manufactory and
Instead of turning the money over to
the manufacturer, charged the amount
to the merchant from whom he collect
ed. His shortage is said to be about
$900. t
Kramer has been living in Tifton for
about two years and has been connect
ed with the mercantile establishment
of D. Weinstein.
Canning Demonstrations
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MACON, Ga., July 9.-—Mrs. C. J.
Rolston, county agent for the Girls'
Canning club of Bibb county, has open
ed a series of demonstrations of can
ning at different places throughout the
county. The first demonstration was
given yesterday at McCrary’s school.
More than fifty members of the club
besides their mothers, brothers and sis
ters were on hand to familiarize them
selves with the finer points about can
ning work. Several different kinds of
vegetables and fruits were canned dur
ing the day, all of which will be placed
on exhibition at the State fair this

BIRMINGHAM GROCERS '
FIGHT CONTEMPT CASES
Testimony Taken in Federal
Court From’Officers and
Many Members
(By Associated Press.)
BIRMIGHAM, Ala., July 9.—Taking
of testimony is being pushed in the
federal court here this afternoon in
the hearing of the citation against the
Southern Wholesale Grocers’ associa
tion, its president and officers and its
many members to show cause why they
should not be held for contempt in
not carrying out the defree rendered in
1911. This forbids certain practices.
The government has a wide coterie
alleegd i continuation of practices in
tending to show that members of the as
sociation whose names were published
in what is termed a green book have
no trouble in purchasing from manu
facturers, while those whose names do
not appear in said book could hardly
transact business.
L. Lassiter, who was a wholesale
grocer at Montgomery, but now in bank
ruptcy court, gave testimony that his
name was not in the “green book” and
that he could not buy direct from the
manufacturers, and therefore had no
chance of thriving. He held the asso
ciation responsible for his indirect fail
ure.

WASHINGTON. July 10.—While both
the officers of the president’s ^acht,
Mayflower, and officials of the navy de-,
partment were reticent today concern
ing the “near accident” to iht> vessel
last week when a shell from the proving
grounds at Indian Head. Md., was said
to have narrowly missed the shi£ with
President Wilson aboard, it is believed
an investigation of the affair will be or
dered.
It was declared today that the shell
itself passed over the Mayflower at a
safe height but that the danger was
caused by the dislodgment from the
shell of the rotating band, a circlet of
steel twelve inches wide which fell close
to the vessel. So loud was the screech
of the shot that the Mayflower’s crew,
it was said, rushed on deck to ascer
tain ahe trouble.
At the time President Wilson was said
to have been sitting on the after deck
with Dr. Grayson, his physician. So
far as is known the president made no
comment or complaint on his return to
the White House.
