Other State Institutions Get
Little If Any More Than Was
Appropriated Them Last
Year
Rigid economy characterizes the gen
eral appropriations bill recommended
Tuesday afternoon to the appropriations
committee of the house by the sub
committee appointed to make a tenta
tive draft of the bill.
All appropriations fixed by the state
constitution and by law, such as the
salaries for state officials, judges of
the supreme and appellate courts, the
per diem and mileage of members of
the general assembly, the salaries for
clerks, stenographers and employes of
these various departments, are carried
in the bill.
Appropriations for the various state
institutions are based in the main upon
the regular appropriations allowed them
by the last legislature. Very few in
creases are allowed to the maitenance
funds of these institutions.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE CUT.
The principal cut made by the sub
committee is in the appropriation to
the State College of Agriculture, at Ath
ens. The last regular appropriation to
this college amounted to $100,000 per
year, of which amount $40,000 was ap
propriated to be used exclusively for
extension work, such as the operation
of the agricultural train and other en
terprises. In the present bill, as drafted
by the sub-committee, the sum of $85,-
000 is set aside for the State College of
Agriculture, of which amount $25,000
must be expended for extension work.
* It will be seen that there is a cut
of $15,000, which is tacen altogether
from the extension work fund.
When this issue of The Journal went
to press, the tentative draft of the ap
propriation bill was being read to the
appropriations committee. Large delega
tions representing the various insti
tutions of the state and others inter
ested in obtaining state aid were pres
ent to lay their claims before the com
mittee.
There may be some slight amend
ments to the bill as drawn. The com
mittee, however, is apparently in accord
on the policy of economy and if there
are any amendments they will be few
and will not greatly increase the total
amount appropriated.
THE LEADING ITEMS.

priations carried in the tentative bill
are the following:
For the support and maintenance of
the academy for the blind at Macon,

BRYAN’S SALARY IS
DISCUSSED IN SENATE
Senator Bristow Introduces
Amendment Aimed at Secre
tary’s Lecture Statement
WASHINGTON, July 17.—Senator
Bristow introduced a resolution today
aimed at Secretary Bryan’s recent state
ment that he was obliged to go on a
lecture tour because of an insufficient
official salary calling on President Wii*
so nto report what salary would be suf
ficient to enable Mr. Bryan to remain
permanently at his post. Objection of
Democratic senators prevented its im
mediate consideration.
The Bristow resolution called atten
tion to Mr. Brj r an’s predessors, who
served with salaries ranging from $3,500
to $8,000 and declared that “no one of
them was compelled to neglect the
duties of his office because of the
meagerness of the salary."
It stated that the salary was increas
ed to $12,000 in 1911, but that- “the
great commoner, who now occupies that
office, has stated that the salary of
$1,000 a month is not sufficient to en
able him to live comfortably and that
he is compelled to neglect his duties
and go on the lectlure platform to earn
a living."
Attention was called further to the
Mexican, Japanese, British and other in
ternational ffuestions before the state
department which the resolution alleged
were not receiving full consideration.
It ended by requesting the president
to give prompt attention to the matter
and report to congress what salary
would be sufficient, so that congress
could “relieve the country of the sec
retary of state during the time he may
be on the lecture platform.
“In my weak way, I have tried tp
express my views of the existing situ
ation,” returned Mr. Bristow.

WIFE MOURNS BY BODY OF
MAN HER HUSBAND KILLED
S, Lathrop George Shoots
Henry McClellan, Claiming
He Destroyed His Home
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga., July 17.—Although
her husband is in jail charged with kill
ing Henry McClellan yesterday after
noon as he slept in her beds, Mrs. S.
Lathrop George prefers to remain be
side the dead man than to be with her
husband.
Mrs. George this morning appeared at
the undertaker’s where McClellan’s
body is laid out, and for hours mourned
beside the body. In the meantime her
husband, who admits the killing of Mc
Clellan, was in a cell at the barracks
awaiting preliminary hearing.
F. Lathrop George yesterday
afternoon shot and instantly kill
ed Henry McClellan, an em
ploye of the city, whom he found In the
house occupied by his wife, from whom
he is separated. After the shooting
George left the house and surrendered
to the first policemanhe met.
George entered the house and found
McClellan in bed. He told his victim
to get down on his knees and pray to
God, as he was going to kill him. Mc
Clellan did not get up, so George shot
him as he lay in bed. McClellan then
got out of bed, and falling on his
knees, begged George not to shoot again.
“I shot him once, then let him pray
awhile, and then shot him again,” said
George. “I shot him three times be
fore I finished him.”
McClellan was partly disrobed when
assistance reached him after the shoot
ing. He was rushed to a sanitarium,
where he died shortly afterwards. He
was shot in the right hide and through
the right arm. The third shot evidently
went wild. It was seen from the first
that he would have no chance for recov
ery.
After the shooting George left the
house and proceeded to the house of his
mother, where he left his revolver. He
then approached an officer on the street.
“I want to surrender to you,” he said.
“I have just killed a man.”
George and his wife have had trouble
for some time. Recently the husband
had made remarks to show that he was
suspicious of McClellan. He endeavored
to have a peace warrant sworn out for
McClellan, but was dissuaded. It is pre
sumed that he kept watch on the house
where his wife lives until he saw Mc
Clellan enter.
Mrs. George was in the yard in the
rear of the house when the shooting
occurred.
“A month ago I separated from my
wife because of McClelland” said George.
“I knew his habits, and was certain that
when I went to the house in the aft
ernoon I would find him in bed.”

CHATTANOOGA RAISES FUND
TO ENTERTAIN G. A. R. VETS
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., July 17.—
John Stagmaier, chairman of the finance
committee of the G. A. R. .encampment
association, reports that more'than $33,-
000 of the $50,000 necessary to entertain
the union veterans in their annual en-
campement here in September has al
ready been raised. In all "$60,000 will
be needed, but $10,000 of this amount
has already been subscribed by the city
and the county, each giving $5,000.
After deliberations covering several
weeks it has been decided by the local
committee of the Army of the Cumber
land that the annual encampment of
that body will be held here during the
time of the G. A. R. encampment. The
annual address will be delivered by Gen
eral Anson Mills, of Washington, D. C.

Capt. H. S. Chamberlain, of the exe
cutive committee, who has just return
ed from Washington states that both
the Eleventh Cavalry and the Seven
teenth Infantry will be scattered at Fort
Oglethorpe during the encampment. As
surance to this effect has been received
from the secretary of war.
(By Associated Press.)
WSHINGTON, July 16.—President
Wilson today, after an early conference
with Secretary Bryan over the latest
aspects of the Mexican situation, pre
sented by inquiries of foreign powers
as to the attitude of the United States,
ordered Ambassador Henry Lane Wil
son at Mexico City to proceed to Wash
ington immediately for a conference.
Ambassador Wilson will hurry north
on either the battleship Michigan or
Louisiana from Vera Cruz if any delay
would be entailed by waiting for a
commercial steamer. Officials here be
lieve the the almost total interruption
of railroad traffic between Mexico City
and the United States will force the
ambassador to make his trip by water.
He is not expected here before July 23
at the earliest.
It is believed in official and diplo
matic circles that an important an
nouncement of the attitude of the
United States in the pending situation
will be made after the ambassador’s
conference with the president and Sec
retary Bryan. The president’s action
today, coming closely after the uno-
oflicial announcement that some of the
foreign powers which already have
recognized the Huerta government were
pressing for some indication of this
government’s attitude toward the con
tinued disorders in Mexico, leads to
that belief.
BRYAN REFUSES TO TALK.
Secretary Bryan positively declined to
add any information to his brief an
nouncement of Ambassador Wilson’s
call to Washington.
However, it is assumed that the ad
ministration desires to Jearn from the
ambassador directly what influences
actuated the foreign diplomatic reports
in Mexico when they jointly agreed to
address their governments with what
amounted to a formal complaint against
the attitude of the United States in its
relations with the Huerta regime.
President Wilson has kept an open
mind on the subject and is thought to
feel himself bound to adhere to the
policy he announced early in his admin
istration of lending moral encourage
ment only to such governments in
Latin-America as were founded upon
constitutional law and practice.
However, it is understood that he is
ready to give due weight to any repre
sentations Ambassador Wilson may
care to make.
The president has had the benefit of
private reports from several of his per
sonal friends, who have travelled in
Mexico recently, bt those were unofficial
and not sufficient to form the basis of
formal attitude if there was to be any
change in policy.
Secretary Bryan was asked if the com
ing of Ambassador Wilson to Washing
ton wauld change his projected lecture
tour. He replied:
“The newspaper men might have as
sumed that my lecture dates would not
interfere with business instead of as
suming that they would. All my lecture
dates were made subject to cancella
tion.”
Senator Fall has informally notified
the foreign relations committee that he
intends to ask the senate to discharge
it from further consideration of his
bill to repeal the neutrality statute of
1912, under which the Huerta govern
ment now is importing munitions of
war. while they are denied to the con
stitutionalists. He will ask the senate
to pass it.

OVERMAN IN CONFERENCE
WITH PRESIDENT WILSON
Head of Lobby Committee De
clines to Talk—M-jIhall
Again Takes Stand
WASHINGTON, July 17.—Before the
senate lobby committee resumed taking
testimony today, Chairman Overman
went to the White House to confer with
President Wilson. It was said the con
ference had been arranged at the sena
tor’s request. He declined to say what
he had discussed with the president.
Senator Reed started Martin M. Mul-
hall’s testimony today on letters written
in 1907 to the late James W. Van
’Cleave, as president of the National As
sociation of Manufacturers. One from
the late Vice President Sherman, then
a member of the house, arranged for a
meeting with Van Cleave and Mulhall
in New York on July 18, 1^07. In a
letter to Mr. Sherman on* July 16, Mul
hall wrote:
“I have just returned from the west,
and I feel that I have put the ball a-
rolling in Indiana so that it will help
Mr. Watson to renomination.”
BELIEVES CONFESSION.
Senator Reed read a letter to Mulhall
from Dr. G. Langtry Crockett, of Thom-
aston, Maine, datey July 4, 1913. Crock
ett was one of the men who worked
with Mulhall in the fight to re-elect
former 'Congressman Littlefield. The
doctor’s letter was in part:
“I have just read your confession in
the New York World. I believe it all
excepting your statement that you are
doing it for the good of humanity. This
humanity business of yours I cannot
swallow. Whether you do any good or
not, time alone can tell; but you surely
have kicked up a stink in this neck of
the woods. Now I want the whol ( e story.
Will you send it to me? I hope you ar£
getting a good thing out of this, for you
surely have bedaubed yourself.
“On the whole people down here be
lieve it. I know it is true. Oliver Otis
is clamoring for me to be taken to
Washington, D. C., and there be pumped
dry. I am ready to go. I hope you
are getting a good thing out of it or
are putting the knife into some of the
pirates that did not like you. You and
I know they were an ungrateful bunch.
‘Now, don’t back down! Stand by
your colors! If you need me, just call
on me. I don’t care If you sold my
letters, but if you just gave them away
it is mean of you. If you get enough
out of it and need the price, why all
right. Anyway, we will not quarrel.”
FROM VAN CLEAVE’S SECRETARY.
Fred C. Schwedtman, secretary to
President Van Cleave, wrote Mulhall on
August 9, 1907:
‘There are some large things brewing
and there is every indication that in our
tariff campaign we have with us the ma
jority of the Republican leading con
gressmen and senators and men higher
up than that, too.”
IN SENSATIONAL SERMON
COLUMBUS, GA., PREACHER
ATTACKS THE TURKEY TROT!
Rev, A, M, Williams Declares
Modern Animal Dances Con
tribute to Vice, White Slav
ery and Divorce
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBUS, Ga., July 17.—The publi
cation Monday afternoon of a sermon
by Rev. A. M. Williams, D. D., pastor
of St. Luke Methodist church, on “Sum
mer Sins and the Turkey Trot to Hell,”
has stirred the society set of this city,
aroused the society matrons, and re-
suled in an ovation for the preacher by
the older people of the community.
The sermon was heard by a congre
gation which filled the church to over
flowing, the subject having been an
nounced in advance, and Dr. Williams’
plain language at times brought blushes
to the cheeks of young people in the
audience.
Dr. Williams said the turkey trot
and other animal dances are low, vulgar,
disgraceful and unfit for white people
making any pretentions to decency.
And he further declared that such
dances have a direct relation to vice
and the divorce evil, in this connection
his remarks being in part as follows;
“The most investigated subject of
this day of investigation is the subject
of vice. Theories that suit the conven
ience of each investigator are advanced
as to the cause, such as low wages,
tenements, etc. But our leading inves
tigators are afraid of society and will
not inquire into the social institutions
and amusements of the higher classes,
to find a cause.
“The modern dance Is a double fac
tor in contributing to the lnlquitious
white slave traffic. It contributes the
man who demands the slave, and the |
girl or woman who loses in the struggle
to maintain her purity because of the j
ever-present and persistent violation of >
God’s holy laws all around her. There j
is a logical and undeniable connection j
between the modern dance and the social I
evil. The dance promotes the rendez- j
vous. The rendezvous leads to the down- !
ward path of vice.”
Speaking of the livorce evil. Dr. Wil
liams said:
“Men lament the increase in -divorce,
yet do they stop to ask if it be not the
natural outcome of the dance? You
would be surprised to know the number
or marriages where scriptural ground
for divorce exists, but where divorce ’
proceedings are not brought on account
of the children. The dance must bear
the responsibility for exciting the ten
dencies which inevitably lead to such an
end. Another reason for divorce is the
restlessness and discontent of the mar
ried. Many who never fell, but who
loved the promiscuous dance, destroyed j
the loving faculty by handing them j
selves for so many years from one to
another in the dance that their con-
stney was destroyed. God’s ideal is
one woman and one man. That and that
alone is the safe habor of happiness.”
