VOLUME XII.
ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1913.
NO. 87.
SENATE PISSES BILL 1010 ADDITIONAL
APPLYING WEBB VOTED TO TEACHERS
If TO GEORGIA
Measure Was Adopted by Vote
of 36 to 3 After Two Hours
of Heated Debate Wednesr
day Morning
The Georgia state senate Wednesday
morning passed the Hixon-Searcy bill
applying the provisions of the Webb
act against the importation of spirituous
liquors to Georgia.
The passage of the bill came only
after two hours of bitter argument and
only after four amendments to the
measure had been voted down. Yet the
final vote was 36 to 3 in favor of the
bill, as reported by the temperance com
mittee with one amendment, the com
mittee's own. »
The bill has but two important sec
tions. The first, which prohibits the
importation, of spirituous liquors into
the state for illegal use, was favored
almost unanimously by the senators.
This measure will not apply to near-
beer, to locker clubs lawfully conducted,
. nor to persons ordering liquor for. pri
vate use.
The second section was the bone of
contention. It fixes the burden of proof
in case the legality of a shipment is
questioned.
The committee’s amendment which
was adopted says that when the ques
tioned shipment is in excess of three
gallons (one case), the burden shall
be upon the carrier, or express com
pany, to show that it was ordered for
legal purposes. When less than ’three
gallons it shall be up to the state to
show that the shipment was for illegal
purposes.
DEBATE GROWS LIVELY.
The prohibitionists, led by Senators
llixon and Searcy, wished to strike out
the threeg-allon cla*use entirely, leaving
it to the carrier in every case to prove
the legality of the shipment. They be
gan their fight by offering an amend
ment to this effect.
Senator McNeil, in a fiery speech op
posed striking the amendment. He be
gan as every senator who took the
floor began by saying that personally
he was a prohibitionist. According to
Senator McNeil, he was a prohibitionist
in a restricted sense.
His speech was a vigorous arraign
ment of the present prohibition law.
That it allowed blind tigers to operate
and was thus the cause of murders,
burglaries and felonies which he said
had increased 66 2-3 per cent since the
law was passed. Senator McNeil defied
the* prohibitionists to deny.
r He characterized the first section as
a good law. The second, he claimed,
worked an illegal hardship on _th.a car-
rler .unless carrying the tnree-gallon
clause. Without this clause, he said, any
sheriff or deputy could indict any ship
per who might order one pint a month,
continued to hit the prohibition
law.
“Every one knows,” he cried, "that
every bottle of beer sold in Georgia is
alcoholic as well as intoxicating. You
start with near-beer and got ‘nigher’
and ‘nigher’ and ‘nigher.’ If the prohi
bitionists had their way they would
close up the state of Georgia tighter
than the tightest clam on the Atlantic
coast. That’s tjie very reason I don’t
favor absolute prohibition, because if
we had i*t, our very good friends, the
antis, would make an exodus once a
month.”
The -senator's point occasioned much
laughter.
President Anderson began to call on
the speakers by alternating from side
to side.
HE OPPOSED CLAUSE.
Senator Searcy spoke against the
three-gallon clause, declaring that he
“had never touched a drop of liquor or
bought a drop of liquor” in his life.
One who supported his view was Sena
tor McGregor, who made a ringing
speech.
Senator Sweat, Senator Smith and
Senator Harrell all were in favor of
putting the burden of proof on the
state and not the carrier.
Senator Dickey proposed to amend
the three-gallon clause by. changing It
to one-gallon, but was voted down by
the close count of 23 to 0.
Senator Hixon’s amendment striking
-out this clause entirely was voted down,
as were two amendments by Senator
Harrell, which provided for seizure of
liquor in the hands of the carrier.
The bill, as amended with the three-
gallon clause, will go to the house with
in the next few days.
TEXT OF BILL.
The text of the bill as amended and
passed by the senate follows:
Section 1. Be it enacted by the gen
eral assembly of the state of Georgia,
and it is hereby enacted by the authority

House as a Committee of the
Whole Increases Appropria

$2,550,000

OE STATESENATORS
Seventeen Votes Were Cast
Against the Constitutional
Amendment, When Only 15
Were Needed to Kill It
Further provision for
of the school teachers’
the payment
salaries was
Barrow' county failed to receive the
constitutional majority of two-thirds
, r m, i j vote in the senate Thursday afternoon
made in the house Thursday morning and was killed. The vote stood at the
conclusion of the roll call 25 for and
when the body as a committee on the
whole voted to increase the appropria
tion for their payment from $2,500,000
as set forth in the ••general appropria
tions bill, to $2,550,000 per year. The
vote In favor of the amendment which
was introduced by Dr. Stovall, of El
bert, was SO to 45.
In accordance with this action on the
part of the committee of the house the*
paragraph in section five of the bud
get is amended and stands as follows:
“For the support and maintenance of
the common schools of the state, the
sum of $2,550,000 for each of the years
191-1 and 1915; said sum including poll
tax, one-half of the rental of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad, show taxes,
dividends from the Georgia railroad,
stocks -and funds realized from the taxa
tion of dogs and other funds set aside
by law to the common school fund.”
A resolution which would authorize
Governor Slaton to bororw $500,000 for
the purpose of paying the state’s school
teachers their overdue salaries, was in
troduced in the house Thursrday morn
ing by Representative Slater, of Bryan
county.
This resolution would put to a prac
tical application the opinion rendered
to the governor the other day by At
torney General T. S. Felder. The at
torney general construed the recent con
stitutional amendment to mean that the
governor can borrow as much as
$500,000 to cover temporary deficits oc
casioned by delay in the collection of
the state’s revenues.
The resolution will need the concur
rence of the senate, if the house pass
es it.
Other resolutions of a similar nature,
to empower the governor to borrow to
meet other obligations, have been read
in the legislature and now are pend
ing before committees.
But six sections of the appropriation
bill have been read up to adjournment
of the house Thursday at 1 p. m., and it
is a noteworthy fact that but one other
item in the budget has received an in
crease. That was the soldiers’ home in
Atlanta, which was given $30,000, or
$5,000 more than allowed in the bill.
It was seen at the outset, however,
that the house was determined to come
to the rescue of Georgia’s teachers tj,nd
despite arguments that the state was
too much in debt to make this advance
a big majority in favor of the increas
ing amendment was shown in the count.
The expected fight on the appropria
tion of $100,000 to the State Agricul
tural college from Mr. Connor, of Spald
ing, came when he introduced an amend
ment providing that the amount be cut
to $91,000. There was less debate on
this question than any other, and no di
vision was necessary after the viva
voce vote which was almost unanimous
against the proposed cut.
With adjournment in sight at this
juncture the committee reported prog
ress and asked leave to sit again for
further consideration of the bill on
Friday.
The house adjourned at 1 o’clock to
meet again Friday at 9 a. m.
17 against the new county. But fif
teen votes were necessary to defeat the
constitutional amendment for the crea
tion of the new county with Winder
as the county seat.
When the result was announced a
great cheer broke out in the chamber.
Senator DuBose immediately an
nounced, that at the proper time, he
would move for a reconsideration.
The entire morning session of the
senate Thursday was occupied in de
bate upon the first of the so-called
“new cpunty” propositions to come be
fore that body for decision—the prop
osition to create Barrow county, passed
by the house, and reported favorably
by the senate committee with a minor
ity committee report against it.
Hot arguments for and against th
measure were passed. Everything else
was sidetracked for the day—measures
of general Interest, important measures
of local interest—in order that the sen
ate might get an earful of talk on
both sides of the question as to wheth
er or not Barrow county should become
a fact.
Senators DuBose, Sweat, McNeil and
Elkins spoke in favor of the measure.
Senators Longino, Burtz, McrGegor and
Foster spoke against it. The chairman
of the committee majority, and the
chairman of the colnmittee minority
each was to be allowed twenty minutes
more of argument. The senate extend
ed its session, which would have ter
minated automaticaly at 1 o’clock, to
last until the bill had been voted
upon.
The galleries and anterooms of the
senate chamber were crowded with in
terested citizens from the neighborhood
of the proposed new county. The sen
ate rules were enforced, prohibiting all
unofficial visitors from entering the
hall. This was done in order that the
senators might not be overwhelmed by
lobbyists for or against the proposed
new county.
The vote on the bill follows:
Ayes—Allen, Bulloch, Bush, Chen-
nault, Converse, Dickey, DuBose, El
kins, Ford, Irwin, Jones of the Twenty-
first, Jones of the Thirty-ninth, Kea,
Kelly, McNeill, Miller, Moore, Rushin,
Searsey, Smith, Sweat, Tarver, Tayor,
Turner and Watts—25.
Nays—Blown, Burtz, Foster, Harrell.
Hlxon. iHuie, Johnson, Longino, Mc
Gregor. Oiff, Parrish, Perry, Peyton,
Pope, Spinks, Stark and Tyson—17.

WASHINGTON, July 24.—Aroused by
the growing criticism of present day
educational methods in the public
schools, the Untied States bureau of
education today came to the defense
of tse present system in a vigorous
statement. It declared that not only
are the “three r’s” being taught as
taoroughly as in the “Little Red
school house,” but that they are being
taught more scientifically and with a
modern view to the needs of the indi
vidual child.
“We frequently hear that there are
‘too many subjects and too many fads
and frills,’ ” says the report, “and hence
neglect of the three r’s. The critics
who utter this sort of criticism seldom
agree on exactly what the ‘fads and
frills’ are, but they invariably look
back to a golden past when the so-call
ed ‘fundamentals’—reading, writing and
arithmetir—were taught in such a way as
never to be forgotten.
“As a matter of fact, the system of
today is unmeasurably ahead of the
school system of the past. The growth
has been steady. Whatever may be said
against the enrichment of the course
of study by its ‘fads and frills,’ the
contention that the essentials, so-called,
have suffered in comparison with the
past, falls flat.”
The report declares that the edu
cational system of today seeks to edu
cate the children for the kind of life,
economic and social, which they will
lead, when they leave the public schools.
The bureau bases its defense of the
present system principally upon this
ground.
Michigan Copper Miners At
tack Deputies and Strike-
Breakers
(By Associated Press.)
CALUMET, Mich., July 24.—Strike vi
olence, occasioned by yesterday's walk
out of the copper miners in this dis
trict, grew beyond control of Sheriff
Crune today and he wired to Governor
Ferris, asking that state troops be dis
patched to maintain order. The local
militia companies were ordered to hold
themselves in readiness for service.
The chief attack of strikers today
was directed against the Calumet and
Hecla properties. Three hundred men
armed with steel drills, clubs and
stones and with a few of them dis
playing and firing revolvers, divested
of their stars all the deputies sta
tioned at No. 2 Conglomerate shaft
of the company. The strikers then
moved over to the Hecla branch mine
and repeated their tactics. Several
men were badly beaten and sent to
hospitals.
The strikers visited all surface plants
of the companies affected and closed
them.
Mining Captain Thomas Matthews,
of the Calumet and Hecla mines, was
attacked by strikers last night and
knocked unconscious. A large body of
strikers went from one shaft to an
other at the Calumet and Hecla and
Tamarack, and several employes were
attacked with stones and severly hurt.
This morning strikers gathered about
the shafts to keep the men with dinner
pails away. A large number of depu
ties have been sworn in and it is be
lieved that they can control the sit
uation for the present at least.
SOUTHERN SENATORS GET
TIPS ON BOLL WEEVILS
They Confer With Experts
on Best Methods of Fight
ing Cotton's Enemy
(BY BAIPH SMITH.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 24.—A
number of senators and representatives
from the cotton belt conferred this
morning with Secretary of Agriculture
Houston concerning a plan of campaign
to combat the spread of the boll wee
vil. Among the senators attending the
conference were Hoke Smith, Williams
and Vardaman, of Mississippi; Rans-
dell, of Louisiana; Sheppard, of Tex
as; Gore, of Oklahoma, and Smith, of
South Carolina.
Secretary Houston called into the
conference a number of experts in the
department, who outlined a comprehen
sive campaign against the weevil, which
is expected to invade Georgia next
year. The government now provides
$300,0b0 annually to fight the weevil.
As a result of the conference today,
congress will extend further aid to the
department of agriculture.
Senator Ransdell, in opening the dis
cussion, declared there was urgent need
for an immediately more aggressive
fight against the boll weevil instead of
the indirect methods now employed by
the department. In reply it was point
ed out that these methods thus far
had proven effective and that they
could be made more so through the ex
tension of the work.
E. F. Evans, an expert of the depart
ment, declared that there was only a
small section in Mississippi and Louis
iana where the boll weevil could not be
checked through proper agricultural
methods. He said there were not
enough men in the. work to reach the
vast territory involved and urged that
the demonstration work be extended.

OF
15 LATEST PROPOSAL
Discussion at Washington
Takes Turn of Popular Elec
tions and Establishment of
Constitutional Government
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 24.—The dis
cussion of the Mexican situation to
day turned toward proposals that the
United States act as a mediator while
elections are held and a constitutional
government established.
Although such suggestions have at
various times been made to Presi
dent Wilson, Secretary Bryan and mem
bers of congress by persons in this
country and Mexico, the proposition
never has reached the stage of seri
ous consideration because of the in
sistent attitude of the constitutional
ists that they would not entertain me
diation under any circumstances.
NOT FAVORED BY REBELS.
“Who will guarantee the honesty of
an election? The only guarantee we can
have is to take possession of the gov
ernment by arms, put in a provisional
president, and hold elections when the
country is pacified. Elections with
most of the country up in arms will,
be impossible.”
, This was the answer of the constitu
tionalist representatives in Washnig-
ton today to the reports that mediation
was about to be undertaken through
t..o offices of the United States.
The constitutionalists profess to see!
in such a proposal an effort on the
part of the Huerta government to se
cure a suspension of hostilities during j
which it would take retaliatory meas
ures to suppress the constitutionalists'
cause.
The constitutionalists point out that i
the same kind of proposals repeatedly
were made in the declining days of the
Diaz administration.
SENATOR BACON’S VIEWS.
”1 have had many letters," said Sena
tor Bacon, as he left the White House, ,
“and there has been much talk among
senators about the possibility of media
tion, but we recognize that it all de
pends on the attitude of the factions
in Mexico. We would have to be in
vited to mediate; we could not exer
cise any authority. I don’t know how
practical it would he.
"Perhaps the best thing would be
if both sides could get together with
out mediation by any one else and name
a provisional president, who would be
satisfactory to both, and hold an elec
tion. But the chief point about all the
discussion is that it shows how anx
ious the American people are for a
peaceful solution of the trouble in Mex
ico, and that we are not thinking otV
anything like intervention. The value
of these suggestions is that wo test
out public opinion both in this country
and in Mexico."
NO ACTION AS YET.
Senator Bacon said that so far as
he knew, no formal recommendation for
mediation was being considered by the
president, and that the matter had
reached only the state of discussion.
A number of senators, in discussing
the Mexican situation wtih President
Wilson today, learned that he was hope
ful that the senate would refrain from
debate about Mexico at this time, or at
any rate until after Ambassador Wilson
returned and a definite policy was for
mulated. It was said the president
pointed out that expressions by sena
tors might arouse ill feeling in Mex
ico.

Rattlesnake Kills Three Children;
While Mother Looks for Them
Her Fourth, an Infant, Drowns
(By Associated Press.)
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 24.—Three
children of Mr. and Mrs. John Cooper,
near Townsend, Tenn., were fatally bit
ten by rattlesnakes and were found dead
yesterday afternoon. While the mother
was searching for this trio, her eigh-
teen-months-old infant fell into a
stream, on the banks of which sho had
left it, and was drowned.
The three children had been sent to
a barn for hen eggs. The mother was
near the river washing colthes. The long
absence of the children caused motherly
anxiety and she went in search of the
children, leaving her infant near the
river bank. The four tragedies were
soon revealed.

NEW YORK, July 24.—The study of
bombs is proving exciting to the New
York police and amusing to many on
lookers. Patrolman John Weisenreider,
hearing a mysterious explosion in front
of a boarding house on the East Side
early today ran to the place and picked
up a package covered with black silk.
It had been partly torn open by a small
explosion and the officer and a detective
ventured to rip off the cover.
‘‘Its corned beef,’ they exclaimed
when they saw what looked like two
thick slices of meat, between which lay
a powerful fire cracker. They recalled
the recent “cheese bomb” sent to An
drew Carnegie which had deceived at
first even the experts at the bureau of
combsutibles. Weisenreider and the de
tective were making a still closer ex
amination of the supposed corned beef
when Inspector Egan of the bureau of
combustibles arrived. He declared with
a certainty that the two pieces of meat
like substance were two sticks of dyna
mite softened by some process.

BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, July 24.—The Con
gressional Record today shows that Wil
liam J. Webb, and not Joseph M. Mc
Afee, was nominated yesterday by Pres
ident Wilson for postmaster at Canton,
Cherokee county, vice William T. Ed
wards, whose term expired last Janu
ary. Judge Webb’s nomination was
recommended by Senator Hoke Smith,
while Captain McAfee was supported by
Congressman Thomas M. Bell. The ac
curacy of the Congressional Record with
reference to the nomination is support
ed by the original list of nominations
sent to the senate by the president and
bearing his name.
The publication of McAfee’s name
as the nominee at Canton was due to
an honest and unavoidable mistake on
part of the newspaper correspondents.
It appears that the “flimsies” of the
nominations, which were distributed for
the information of the correspondents,
bore the name of McAfee, whereas the
original list of nominations contained
the name of Webb. The correspondents
accepted the “flimsies” as correct, and
based their stories of the nomination on
‘his misinformation.
Senator Smith will urge the confirma
tion .of Judge Webb, whose nomination
is now’ pending in the postoffice commit
tee. of which the-senator is a member.
Mr. Webb is Mr. McAfee’s son-in-law.

CLAIMS DISCOVERY OF
PERPETUAL MOTION
(Ey Associated Press.)
TURIN, Italy, July 24.—Tests have
been made before scientists here of a
machine invented by a mechanician
named Florio, by which, it is claimed,
perpetual motion is demonstrated. The
basic -principle underlying the method
employed is the contraction and expan
sion of gas.
The'mechine collects the caloric en
ergy of the air and transforms it into
mechanical energy. The air is supplied
automatically and the apparatus is in
continuous motion by reason of the
passage of the gas from the warmer to
the cooler atmosphere.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y„ July 24.—
Two men risked going over the Ameri

dog which was clinging to some rocks
only a short distance above the cataract
late last evening.
The animal had been running along
the river bank and slipped into the
water about 100 feet above the falls.
It was quickly swept down the river but
finally managed to get a slight foot-*

Park Constable Alexander and Frank
Glassbrook went to the rescue. Glass-

A woman who saw the rescue asked
for the dog as a souvenir and it was
given to her.
