VUE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1913. 3 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. -Principal among the annual appro priations carried in the tentative bill are the following: For the support and maintenance of the academy for the blind at Macon, and for the salaries of its officers and attaches, $30,000. For the support and maintenance of the Georgia School for the Deaf and Dumb at Cave Spring and for the pay of its officers and attaches, $45,000.

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.” Tl Insistent Inquiries of Foreign Powers as to U, S.

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. The Army of the Cumberland faces the important matter of selecting a com mander to succeed General Gates P. Thurston, who died at his home in Nash ville in January. 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. Star Trusty Pitcher Of Crack Convict Nine "Jumps His Contract" (By Associated Press.)

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.” GERMAN COTTON BUYER SUICIDES AT AUGUSTA (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) AUGUSTA, Ga., July 17.—Mr. Joseph! Settegast, aged fifty years, a native of Coh(lentzo-n-Rhlnel Germany, and a cotton buyer of Augusta and Montezu ma, Ga., committed suicide at the home of his niece, Mrs. Victor D. Barbot, of The Hill, Tuesday morning. ESTATE'OF JOHN WALSH ‘WORTH ONLY $45,000 (By Associated Press.) CHICAGO, July 17.—The estate of John R.
