DISCUSSES BOLL WEEVIL
Railroads’ Warnings to Farm
ers Doing Much to Prevent
Spread, He Says
(Special Cable to The Journal.)
WASHINGTON, July 21.—President
Finley, of the Southern Railway com
pany, speaking: today of conditions in
territory east of the Mississippi
river into which the Mexican cotton boll
weevil has spread, said:
‘•The bolt weevil has appeared in cot
ton fields along: the lines of the South
ern Railway company and its associated
companies in Mississippi and western
Alabama. With a view to obtaining
first-hand information as to conditions,
I have had one of my assistants visit
the infested territory in company with
the manager of our department of farm
improvement work, who is giving his
personal attention to directing the ef
forts we are making- to aid in controll
ing the weevil.
“Generally speaking, the weevil is
present in much of the territory west
of a line from Shelby county, Tennessee,
running diagonally across the states of
Mississippi and. Alabama to the south
east corner of Georgia. Probably owing
to the overflow followed by cold weath
er, the weevil has been found relative
ly few localities in that part of the
Mississippi delta traversed by our
lines.
“At every point visited In the infest
ed teritory a determined and intelligent
fight is being made against the weevil.
The farmers are being aided and ad
vised in this by the state agricultural
commissioners, the agents of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture, and
by our department of farm improvement
work. This fight was begun as soon as
the weevils which survived the winter
began to appear in the fields. While the
cotton w T as small it was possible to find
and destroy large numbers of the wee-
ils. With the growth of the plant it
has become increasingly difficult to find
the Insects and the fight is now being
carried on by gathering and burning
the squares in which the female weevil
has deposited eggs so as to reduce the
second generation to a minimum. These
squares are easily found as, soon after
an egg has been laid, the square flares
and turns yellow, later falling to the
ground. The object of this is to keep
down the number of weevils maturing
during the fruiting season. It is impor
tant that, at the same time, the crop
shall be pushed by rapid and shallow
cultivation.
“I am advised that it is the opinion
of men familiar with the weevil that
these methods of control are proving
fully as effective in Alabama and Mis
sissippi as they have been west of the
Mississippi river, wTiere, in many local
ities, more cotton is grown with the
weevil than before its appearance.
Present indications are that the de
struction of cotton by the boll weevil
will not be disastrous in any locality
along our lines; that where the advice
of the government agents and of our
department of farm improvement work
Is followed good crops will be made,
and that, where farmers are doing the
best work, production will be fairly up
to normal. Cotton acreage has been re
duced to some extent, the acreage in
corn and other crops being increased.
Increased attention is being given td
live stock, and our live stock agent is
receiving inquiries from farmers in the
boll weevil territory as to where regis
tered cattle of the beef breeds can be
bought. The eradication of the cattle
tick is being carried on actively in this
territory, and silos are being built on
some of the farms.
“Men familiar with the fight against
the-weevil west of the Mississippi be
lieve that' this season’s work will
demonstrate to the farmers east of the
river that, by the adoption of the
methods inaugurated by the late Dr.
Seaman A. Knapp" and advocated by our
department of farm improvement work,
cotton can be produced profitably east
of the river under boll weevil condi
tions, and that, with the impetus given
to diversified farming, crop rotation and,
live stock raising, the insect will not
seriously injure the farmers of the
southeastern states.
“It is gratifying to know that the
appearance of the weevil at points on
our lines has not brought about the
conditions of panic that followed its
spread into some other localities.- 1
believe that some credit for this may
be taken by the managements of the
Southern railway company and its asso
ciated companies for having inaugu
rated the work of advising farmers how
to deal with the weevil in advance of
its appearance. Our work in this re
spect has been made successful by the
helpful attitude of farmers, merchants,
bankers and professional men, and by
the cordial co-operation extended to us
by the state agricultural colleges and
by the United States department of
agricuture. The manager, the assistant
manager in the weevil territory, and
the field agents of our departments of
farm improvement work are doing their
utmost to meet -the requests of farmers
for assistance and advice. It is our
purpose, after this season’s crop has
been made, to continue to give special
attention to the territory in which the
weevil is present and to the territory
to which it may spread in order that
the farmers may be prepared to combat
It effectively.”
OF SEfl
LIKE THE ICEBERG
Captains of Revenue Cutters
Make Interesting Report
of Observations
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 21.—Icebergs
are the real terrors of the sea, giving
no warning of their' approach in thick
weather, and the only rational course
for a navigator to adopt when his ship
is in a fog in their vicinity is to stop
and wait for the haze to lift.
This, in effect, is the burden of the
reports Captains C. E. Johnston and A. S.
Gamble, of the cutters Se>rteca and Pllmt,
which from April to July patrolled the
trans-Atlantic lane of travel, to pre
vent a repetition of the Titanic disas
ter.
“The only safe way to navigate in
regions of icebergs,” warned Captain
Johnston, “is to stop during thick weath
er and to run very slowly on dark
nights.”
He refuted the prevalent theory that
a sudden drop in temperature means the
proximity of icebergs, and said little
or no changes in temperature is notice
able. Owing to the blinding effect of a
searchlight on the observer, Captain
Johnston said he would not recommend
its general use for a vessel under
way.
Icebergs cannot be detected with any
degree of certainty by attempting to
get an echo from a ship’s whistle or
bells, according to Captain Johnston. A
perpendicular berg may give an echo
from some directions, but a slanting
face deflects the sound. About 90 per
cent of the Seneca’s efforts to get echoes
were futile.
Captain Johnston advises placing the
lookout of a vessel at night and in
hazy weather as low down as possible.
In a very large ship, he said, a look
out posted high on the vessel might
have an obstructed view on a very dark
night and overlook an iceberg half a
mile away.
The presence of murres, the officer de
clared, indicated the presence of ice
berg, but he advised mariners to pay
no attention to other birds. In some in
stances he found the bergs literally cov
ered with birds, principally murres, but
on others there was not a bird in
sight.

JAPAN IS DISAPPOINTED
OVER AMERICAN REPLY
Situation Strikes Deadlock,
Developments in China
Closely Watched
TOKYO, July 21.—Deep disappoint
ment is felt in Japan in connection
with the American reply to the last two
Japanese notes on the subject of the
California alien land ownership legisla
tion. This does not accept any of the
Japanese contentions that the bill vio
lates the Japanese-American treaty and
does not offer any suggestion to a solu
tion of the difficulty.
The situation here has reached a
deadlock. Japan has not yet decided op.
her next step, but is so desirous of.
maintaining friendly relations that it
is not believed she will adopt retalia-
iatory, measures.
The Japanese public has been led by
the press to the belief that Washington
would afford some relief to the situa
tion, and therefore the government’s
situation has been rendered more dif
ficult. The public generally, however,
is absorbed in the development of the
Chinese situation. Official advices
show that the rebellion in south China
has become grave.

BY ESTES DOREMTTS,
AUGUSTA, Ga., July 21.—The Geor
gia general assembly arrived here at
noon, after an uneventful trip. The
legislative special made record time,
consuming but four and a half hours
from Atlanta to Augusta.
Things were enlivened en route by
the quartet led by Agricultural Com
missioner J. D. Price. After serenading
the governor, the singers took in every
coach and w r ere received with more or
less cordiality as the morning wore on.
The special, according to program,
backed *into the state medical college
grounds shortly after noon. and the
legislators were taken in groups
through the new institution. That a
favorable impression was made is evi
dent from the expressions of surprise
at the advancement the city has made.
On every hand is heard comment ap
proving the action of the appropria
tions committee in giving the college
the $30,000 it asked for in lieu of the
$20,000 given it by the subcommittee
specially appointed to care for separate
state institutions. There is every evi
dence that both the house and senate
will favor the committee report in So
far as this school is concerned and vote
for the appropriation as it stands.
-The visitors left the college grounds
at 2 o’clock for Carmichael’s famous
fishing club, w T here a barbecue will be
served, and later will be taken for a
ride over the city and through the mag
nificent roads of Richmond county.

these were at their desks in the legis
lative halls for a short while Saturday
morning, engaged in writing letters to
the folks at home.
SHORTAGE SAID TO HAVE
CLOSED LAFAYETTE BANK
Sensational Developments Ex
pected to Follow Detailed
Report of Affair
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, July 21.—While ab
solute silence is being maintained by
Acting Comptroller of Currency Kane in
regard to the closing of the First Na
tional bank, of LaFayette, Ga., so far
as the details are concerned it is stated
that the direct cause of the troubles of
the institution is a large shortage. No
details have as yet been received from
Bank Examiner Thomas J. Dunlap, it
is asserted, and as soon a» his complete
report is received, it is intimated that
startling developments will follow. It
is said that the shortage will be at
least $30,000, also that the bank was
closed with the approval of the direc
tors, the shortage having made the in
stitution insolvent.
R. N. Dickerson is president, and
F. A. Hunt, Jr., cashier. Acting Comp
troller Kane said that the shortage was
believed to be due to embezzlement or
defalcation.
The last examination of the bank was
made May 23, and it was then all right.
The statement in answer to the comp
troller’s call of June 4 also showed the
bank to be in good condition and it is
believed that the shortage occurred
since that time. The bank had a capi
tal stock of $50,000 and a surplus of
$8,500.
Sensational developments are expect
ed to follow the filing of the detailed
report.

BE RESUMED IN CHICAGO
SIMMONS OPENS
DEBATE ON TARIFF
.S.
Chairman of Finance Commit
tee Declares That Democrats
Are Carrying Out Pledge
Made to the People
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 21.—Tariff de
bate opened in the senate today when
Chairman Simmons, of the finance com
mittee, began his explanation of the
bill. He reviewed what he termed the
failure of the Republicans to redeem
their 19081 pledges to revise the tariff
downward. The Democratic party in
herited thisujluty, he said, when it came
into powerF'
“The *bill now presented to the sen
ate, it is confidently believed,” said he,
“is a fair interpretation of the bill of
the people, and is an honest compliance
with pledges of the Democratic party.
"Amendments offered by the com
mittee are not proposed in a spirit of
disagreement with the house or to the
theory of tariff revision upon which
that body acted. They are offered with
a view to further carrying out and per
fecting me principles of a revenue-
produeing tariff upon the basis of com-
petative rates enunciated by the ways
and means committee of the house as a
just and fair interpretation in the light
of existing conditions of the platform
pledges of the Democratic party upon
tariff.
“Like the house, we have sought to
find a* basis of action which would un
tax the necessaries of life as far as is
consistent with the revenue needs of
the government; which would lay the
heaviest burdens upon luxuries of the
rich; and which would impose upon
those things which were neither prime
necessities nor luxuries, and which
were proper subjects of tariff taxation,
a rate sufficiently competitive to yield
revenues adequate to meet the needs of
the government on the one hand, and
on the other hand to operate as a reg
ulation of domestic prices, by making
outside competition at all times pos
sible.”
Charges that the bill dealt unfairly
with the farmer, Senator Simmons de
clared to be without foundation. He
enumerated many things on the free
list especially for the farmers’ bene
fit, and said:
• “No class of our people have reapeu
as little benefit from the Republican
tariff system and suffered as heavily
from Its exactions as the farmer. He
knows that under the Republican sys
tem he has had to Duy in a highly
protected market and sell most of
his products on a basis of free competi
tion with the world. There is in my
mind no doubt that his verdict will be
one of approval, especially in view of
the fact that he will be among the
NEW NICARAGUAN POLICY
OUTLINED OY MR. BRYAN
Suggests Virtual Control of
Affairs by U„ S,, as in the
Case of Cuba
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 21.—A new pol
icy toward Nicaragua involving the vir
tual control of the affairs of that re
public by the United States through a
protectorate similar to that exercised
over Cuba, was outlined today by Sec
retary Bryan, at a private conference
with members of the senate foreign re
lations committee.
Mr. Byan’s proposal, coming as a com
plete surprise to most of the members
of the committee, has oeen taken by
many senators, as the first pronounce
ment of a general policy on the part of
the administration to extend American
control over the countries surrounding
the Panama canal, and to assure that
stability of central American republics
and the domination by the United States
of their relations with other great pow-
interest of the masses.”
The income section of the bill, Sen
ator Simmons said, was not framed
upon the theory that the chief object
of an income tax is to supply deficit
in revenue, “but it is based upon the
theory that property should bear its
just share of federal as well as state
taxation, and that, therefore, the rate
of this bill should be fixed with a view
to requiring the wealth of the country
as reflected in the incomes of the well-
to-do to contribute equitably to these
expenses.”
Senator Simmons analyzed the vari
ous charges in the schedules at length.
The total schedules of the house bill
carried an average advance of 21.22
per cent, which the senate reduced to
18.38 per cent.
Iron ore, he said, was placed on the
free list in the house bill to aid inde
pendent producers of iron and steel and
for like reasons the senate committee
free-listed ferro-manganese and pig
iron.
Of the wool schedule, in which th*.
senate retained raw wool on the freo
list and cut rates on manufactures.
Senator Simmons said:
“For more than a third of a century
the duties on wool and woolens have re
mained practically unchanged. That
these duties are not only excessive, but
indefensible, is generally admitted,
even by the advocates of protection.”
MR. BRYAN PREPARES FOR

details of his itinerary. He expects to
return to Washington next Friday, to

Bankruptcy Petition
Horace T. Bell, an air-brake inspector,
has filed a petition in bankruptcy. His
liabilities are $188.19 and his assets
$150.
Secretary Bryan went before a com
mittee with a revised draft of the pro
posed Nicaraguan trety, negotiated first
in the Taft administration, by which the
United States would secure exclusive
canal rights across Nicaragua and a
new naval base, in exchange for a $3,-
000,000 gold payment.
NEW FEATURE OF TREATY.
As a new feature of the treaty, how
ever, the secretary of state proposed
that language similar if not identical
with the so-called “Platt amendment,”
relating to Cuba, be injected in the
treaty, giving the United States sweep
ing control of Nicaraguan affairs and
the power to regulate her foreign rela
tions and her finances.
Under the proposed plan, Nicaragua
would agree in substance:
That war should not be declared with
out the consent of the United States. ^
That no treaties would be made with
foreign governments that would tend
to destroy her independence, or that
would give those governments a foot
hold in the republic.
That no public debt would be con
tracted beyond the ordinary resources
of the government, as indicated by the
ordinary revenues.
That the United States should have
the right to intervene at any time to
preserve Nicaraguan independence, or
to protect life or property.
That the United States should have
the exclusive light to build a canal
across Nicaragua and should* have a
ninety-nine-year lease to a naval base
in the Bay of Fonseca and to the Grea
Corn and Little Corn islands in the Car
ibbean, with the privilege of removing
the lease.
The United States in return should
pay Nicaragua $3,000,000 to be used in
public works and education.

LIGHTHOUSE SERVICE
TO GROW OWN TIMBER
Forest Service Prepares to
Plant Timber Trees for Gov
ernment Use
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 21.—The light
house service, so far as the Great
Lakes are concerned, purposes to grow
its own timber for the manufacture of
spar buoys, piling and the other wood
essentials to the service. In this the
service will be assisted by the forest
service, and expert foresters are pre
paring to make an investigation of the
reservations on which the light-houses
stand with a view to their forest sta
tion.
An investigation already made by the
forest service has disclosed that the
light-house reservations in the lumber
states of Michigan and Wisconsin alone
total nearly 5,500 acres. On several of
these reservations white and Norway
pine will be planted, and cedar and pine
on the others.
The work involves co-operation of the
two services of the government, for the
planting of trees in positions where
they might obscure the beacon lights
would prove a serious menace to navi
gation. It is believed two or three of
the reservations will have to be left en
tirely bare, as at present.

WASHINGTON, July 21.—Marion T.
Klinkscales, an attorney, sat in his cell
in the district jail today, conviced that
he was the worst treated practitioner
who ever appeared before the local
courts. His last appearance was dra
matic and uncomfortable in the extreme.
As the result of It he is waiting for
some one with a $1,000 bail bond.
Klinkscales already was under bond
for $500 in one case when he was in
dicted in a second case on a charge of
embezzlement. His surety in the first
case, Frank Johnson, learned of the sec
ond Indictment and started on a hunt
for him. The two men met in the cor
ridors of the city hall. Heated language
was followed by blows and Johnson, a
big man, threw the lawyer .over his
shoulders and carried him into‘the crim
inal court, where Justice Gould was
hearing an important case.
“I Just thought I’d tote him in,
judge,” said Johnson, as he deposited
his indignant and ruffled burden, none
too gently before the bar.
Justice Gould demanded a $1,000 bond
which Klinkscales could not produce.

Give Several Georgia
Cities All-Water Route to
Panama Canal
COLUMBUS, Ga., July 21.—The gov
ernment canal, costing a half million
dollErrs, which is to connect the Chatta
hoochee and lower rivers with St. An
drews bay, is to be completed in less
than tweive months from date, accord
ing to Captain J. W. Singleton, the spe
cial government engineer in charge of
the work, who states that there is only
ten miles more of the canal to cut.
The canal when completed will be
about thirty miles in length, all of
which the enginefers have been forced to
cut, and in some sections work has been
quite slow owing to the mat of cypress
roots and other obstructions. It had
been expected that the canal would be
completed and ready for use early in
the coming year, but the delay is due to
the above causes.
The completion of this canal means
much for the shippers of Columbus an<^
all of this section of Georgia and Ala
bama, as it "will open up an all-water
route to the gulf, Panama and Oriental
ports. Widespread interests centers in
the progress of the work and its com
pletion will be anxiously awaited by tho
business men of the Columbus district.
At the monthly session of the board
of trade last evening, the proposed cele
bration to mark the formal opening of
the canal was discussed, and it was
agred that plans for the big event shall
proceed at once, but no date for tho
celebration was determined upon. It is
proposed to have a big celebration *n
Columbus and similar (events in all tho
cities along the banks of the Chatta
hoochee and lower rivers to the gulf,
as has been stated.
