2 rHE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1913. 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. TAKE ALLEGED OUTLAW TO NASHVILLE JAIL (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) VALDOSTA, Ga., July 10.—Randall Solomon, the alleged outlaw who was shot last week when he was arrested by the officers and citizens near Kirk land, has been taken from Douglas to Nashville for confinement in jail there.

On Flight to Paris .1 OH ANN I ST HAL, Germany, July 10.— —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.!

SHELL SCREECHES E Mr, Wilson Sat on After Deck With His Physician When Big Circlet of Steel From Shell Fell Near Vessel 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. (By Associated Press.) 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. IRON WITHOUT A FIRE i Cut out the drudgery. Save time—labor— fuel.
