GEORGIA AND HER POLITICS

The appropriations committee of the Fee, who has been appointed temporary
house, Tuesday afternoon, accepted the secretary of the association, to promote
recommendation, of its subcommittee
and accordingly appropriated $30,000 for
the establishment and maintenance of
a home for wayward girls under six
teen years of age.
Marion Jackson and other leaders of
the Men and Religoin Forward Move
ment, interested in prison reform were
present at the hearing which was called
for the purpose of considering the bill
of Representative Jones, of Coweta.
During the meting Chairman Craw
ford Wheatley, of Sumter, arose to a
point of. personal privilege in reply to
recent “bulletins” of the Forward
Movement leaders.
“I cswne here,” said Mr. Wheatley,
"with my mind maae up to champion
the cause for this home. My purpose
in tabling the bill was to save it
from being killed outright and not to
defeat the proposition. But I have this
*e i-y of the authors of the Men and
Religion Forward bulletins, that they
have done more to defeat their bill
than every one else put together. I can
only sfty that the words of Christ. ‘Fa
ther forgive them, for they know not
what they do,' is applicable to the au
thors of the bulletins.”
Mr. Metlivin, vice chairman, of the
committee, also paid his compliments
to the authors of the bulletin. “I fa

tactics used by some of its advocates
rather than because of them. I deny

Senator Sweet Would Change
System of Registering Titles.
Senator J. L. Sweat, of the Fifth, has
introduced a bill in the senate known
as the “Torrens land title system” bill,
indorsed last year by a commission ap
pointed to look into the matter of Geor
gia land titles by the legislature of 1904.
The bill, if passed, will not go into
effect in any county of the state until
first adopted by the people.. Even then
it is not compulsory. According to the
bill, a system or registering titles is
substituted for our present system of
registering deeds. The true title is as
certained and registered. Lands bonght
under the measure become a quick as
set to be sold, or pledged for a loan.
Under the present system any number
of different titles to the same land, in
cluding forged and fraudulent deeds,
may. be recorded, says Senator Sweat,
and from an examination of the records
it is impossible to tell who is the real
owner. The Torrens system will cre
ate one source of title and one only, and
that a responsible source, he declares.
House Members Grow Uneasy When
Filibuster Gains Impetus.
The filibuster precipitated in the
house Tuesday morning by the resolu
tion of Representative Kidd, of Baker,
in which he charged the temperance sioner
committee with usurpation of power
while taken as,more or less of a joke
during the morning, assumed alarming
proportions during the afternoon when
Representatives Shelby Myrick and
Herman C. Shuptrine, of Chatham, join
ed with the leader, Representative Ed
Wohlwender of Muscogee ,and succeeded
in holding the floor until 5 o’clock, the
set hour of adjournment.
When the house reconvened at 3
o'clock and the two members of the
Chatham delegation joined with Mr.
Wohlwender, thus giving the attack im
petus, the majority of the members
became uneasy in the fear that impor
tant matters already, set as special or
ders might be knocked into a cocked
hat.
JesUp Sentinel Fays Tribute to
Fish and Game Commissioner Mercer.
In its last issue the Jesup Sentinel
pays the following tribute to Jesse E.
Mercer, state game and fish commis-
"Hon. J. E. Mercer, state fish and
game warden, has certainly made good
ir. this position. He has been fearless
in dealing with offenders and thorough
in the handling of the affairs of this
office.
“It was a new position and one re
quiring a lot of diligence and insight to
handle. Since under its supervision
is the protection of all game and fish
from tin oyster beds of Glynn to the
birds of Georgia’s most northern moun
tain county. My. Mercer has just been
in this place long enough to know his
work and we think it would be decided
ly unwise to appoint a new warden
now.”
Representatives J. E. Sheppard, of
Sumter, and Barry Wright, of Floyd,
made an effort to take the floor from
the speaker who had held it for three
hours, but failed. And so the day was
effectually killed without the ghost of
a chance being given to matters of
vital interest to the state.
Representative Burney, of Morgan,
when the house was in a state of gen
eral disorder, said ,“Mr. Speaker, I
would like to know where we are?”
"I would advise the gentleman from
Morgan that we are in the midst of
debate,” answered Speaker Burwell.
Attack on Dr. Soule Both Unfortunate
And without Foundation—Exchange.
Among the many comipentaries in
Gcoigia newspapers relative to the re
cent attack on Dr. A. M. Soule, presi
dent of the State Agricultural college,
is the following from the Quitman Free
Press, which is in thorough accord with
the general sentiment throughout the
stale:
“The attack on Dr. Soule, dean of the
agricultural college, was extremely un
fortunate, and as was shown after
ward, entirely without foundation. It
seems that he was made the subject of
this attack by one political faction be
cause of his leanings to another fac

Senator Fred Kea, of the Sixteenth,
has a trick of gesture that is beginning
to acquire fame in the legislature. Sen
ator Kea is seldom on his feet, and gen
erally his voice is heard in a motion
for the “ayes and nays,” or for adjourn
ment.
But no matter what he says he pref
aces his remarks to the chair with his
right hand outstretched and his body
strained forward.
“The Senator of the Outstretched
Hand,” is what one fellow-member call
ed him the other day, and it looks like
the nickname is going to stick.
Perhaps the Senators Had
Eaten Too Many F e aches.
It is not always the merits of a bill
which decide its fate in the legislature,
but very often its fate hangs on the
rather uncertain humor of the assem
bly. At least this is true of the sen
ate. If the senate is in a jolly mood
all is well for the bill; but if the sen

You Couldn’t Get a Nickel
Extra Fast That Senate.
The only amendment Senator John T.
Allen offered to the appropriations bill
when it came to the senate was for $2,-
500, yet it was voted down. The amend
ment, as proposed by him, was to raise
the amount appropriated for printing
the records of the superior court.
“In the past,” said Senator Allen, “Jhe
amount for this purpose has always been
$10,000 or so much thereof as may be
necessary. In the present bill it is but
$7,500, which, I think, must be an in
advertent mistake.”
Senator McNeil told the senate that it
seemed only consistent to vote down
Senator Allen’s amendment in accord
ance with the others. When the roll
was called Senator Allen’s voice was the
only one heard in support of the amend
ment.
“I have to reconsider,” he shouted,
laughing, and the other senators joined
ir the merriment, but not in the vote.
Foremost Scientists to
Meet Here Next Winter.
State Geologist S. w. McCallie has
offered his aid in preparing the way
for the annual meeting of the Ameri
can Association for the Advancement of
Science, which meets here from Decem
ber 29, 1913, to January -3, 1914.
Mr. McCallie has received a letter in
General judiciary committee No. 1 of
the house was not long Monday after
noon in returning a favorable report on
the ta x discoverer bill of Representative
E. H. McMichael, of Marion. During
the debate on the question of tax equal
ization Mr. McMichael attemtped to
amend the Lipscomb bill by providing
for a tax discoverer, but was voted
down.
Mr. McMichael explained that his
measure was fashioned after the Ala
bama state law which had succeeded in
bringing in thousands of dollars in rev
enue that the state had never before
collected.
An attempt will be made to have the
bill set as a special order and come up
for passage at this session of the leg
islature.

When the senate adjourned Judge Al

vigorously when he announced the sen

As the judge advanced to the front of
the platform the applause grew tumult

deeply before the admiring senators
would stop.

OF L. yjAILI
Introduces Resolution for the
Commerce Commission to
Investigate Its Control of
N, C, & St, L,
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—Sen.
ator Luke Lea, of Tennessee, introduced
today a resolution directing the inter
state commerce commission to invest-
gate and report to the senate all facts
pertaining to the alleged ownership, or
control, of the Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis railroad, and subsidiary
lines, by the Louisville & Nashville. The
purpose of the proposed investigation,
according to Senator Lea, is to obtain
information upon which the department
of justice may base a prosecution for
alleged violation of the Overman anti
trust law. He will call up his resolu
tion at the first opportunity and expects
it will pass without opposition. He
stated that the investigation would re
quire probably sixty days.
While Senator Lea’s motive is to pre
vent the absorption of the Tennessee
Central by the Louisville & Nashville,
it is admittedly true that his move in
the senate may have a very decided
bearing on the releasing of the Western
and Atlantic railroad by the state of
Georgia to the Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis company. It is true, also,
that tbe control of the Georgia railroad
by the Louisville & Nashville may be
affected by the inquiry.
WON’T HURT W. & A.
Senator Hoke Smith gave it as his
opinion, after reading the Lea resolu
tion, that the proposed inquiry would
not adversely affect the Western and
Atlantic railroad. He said:
“While I haven’t had time to study
the provisions of Senator Lea’s resolu
tion carefully, his evident purpose is
to force a dissolution of the Louisville
and Nashville and the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and St. Louis properties, if it
is found they are in combination.
“I do not see how the dissolution of
these properties can possibly injure the
Western and Atlantic. On the contrary,
a dissolution of the Louisville and
Nashville and the Nashville, Chatta
nooga and St. Louis might place these
two companies in competition for the
Western and Atlantic, and thereby en
able the state to drive even a better
bargain if the Western and Atlantic
is to be released. The Georgia railroad
does not come in competition with
either the Louisvile and Nashville or
the N., C. & St. L., and it does not seem
to me that it will be seriously affected
by the inquiry or any action by the
department of justice.”
WHAT LEA PROPOSES.
“I did not have the control of the
Western and Atlantic railroad by the
N., C. & St. L. in mind when I prepared
my resolution,” said Senator Lea to
day. “But if I understand the situa
tion, I am confident that the scope of
my resolution is broad enough to in
clude the control of the state road by
the N., C. & St. L.
“I drafted this ; resolution several
months ago, but I have been waiting be
fore introducing it to ascertain whether
it would be possible and practical for
the interstate commerce commission to
obtain the information sought for, and
only within the last few days have I
been advised that the proposed investi
gation and report were practicable.
“As soon as the information sought
for in the resolution is obtained I will
present it to the department of justice
for such action as it may desire to take.
There is much fear expressed that the
Tennessee Central railroad—the only in
dependent railway in middle Tennessee
—may be absorbed by the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, but the question is
not whether the Louisville and Nash
ville will be permitted to acquire the
Tennessee Central, but whether it will
be permitted to maintain its ownership
of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis railway and its lease of the Nash
ville and Decatur railroad.”
SUBSTANCE OF RESOLUTION.
The Lea resolution contains nine sec
tions, providing as follows:
First—Thei amount of stocks, bonds
and other securities of Jthe Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis owned or con
trolled by the Louisville and Nashville.
Second—What other railroad or rail
roads in the territory served by the L. &
N. and the N., C. & St. L. have been
purchased, leased, controlled or arrange
ments entered into for the purpose of
control, either by the L. t* N. or the
N., C. & St. L. 4
It is this section that contains the
provision whereby, in the opinion of
Senator Lea, the commission will inves
tigate not only the present lease of the
W. & A. by the N., C. & St. L., but
also the pending negotiations between
the state legislature and the lessee for
a release of the property.
Third. Whether the N., C. & St. L.
and the L. & N. serve the same terri
tory, in whole or in part, and whether,
ruder separate ownership, they would
bo competitive lines to various points in
their territories.
Fourth. Any and all fact or facts
tending to show that the present rela
tions between the L. & N. and the N.,
C. <& St. L. have a tendency to restrict
competition, and maintain fixed rates.
The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
sections relate to the terms of the lease
of the Nashville and Decatur road by
the L. & N.
J. J. Slade, of Muscogee, called the at
tention of the house to his two militia
bills that have been refererd to the
committee on military affairs, but have
not yet been reported, despite the fact,
that he has urged immediate action.
Mr. Slade declared .that Representative
Spence, chairman of the committee,
had promised a report, but that he ap
peared to be dodging the issue. He
insisted on having both bills reported ai
once whether sent back to the house
with a favorable recommendation or
not.
Both of Mr. Slade’s measures would
place the militia under the civil au
thorities in times of stress.
House Members Did Not Take
Kindly to 9 o’clock Convenement.
For the first time during this session
of the general assembly the house was
called to order at 9 o’clock Monday,
instead of at 11, the usual hour for be
ginning the week. Speaker Burwell
had called the members attention to
special orders of vital importance set
for Monday and had urged every one
to be in his seat that no time be lost.
Less than a hundred seats were occu
pied when the house was called to or
der. It so happened that the measures
before the house required a constitu
tional majority of two-thirds or 123
votes and there were not that many in
the hall had every one voted aye.
Accordingly the special orders, known
as the administration bills, amendatory
to the general tax act, were necessarily
postponed until Tuesday morning.
Trade and Crop Re
ports from the South
—From Bradatreet’s.
Richmond-—Midsummer quiet is evident
in most lines of trade particularly among
retailers. Wholesale dealers In shoes and
dry goods report good filllng-ln orders.
Salesmen in most lines are preparing
samples for the spring season. Moat In-
dutsires, with the exception of lumber,
continue fairly active, and labor is well
employed. Iron and metals are quiet. Na
val stores are firm at recently prevailing
prices. Very favorable reports from all
growing crops continue to come in, and a
record yield is expected. Tobacco is par
ticularly promising. Building is less ac
tive and real estate is depressed. Banks
are receiving a goodly demand for loans,
but have ample funds for legitimate
needs.
Charleston, S. C.—Trade and collections
in the Peedee section show some improve
ment, due to large sales of tobacco. Cot
ton, as well as fruit, is in fine shape. A
good corn crop has been made. Tightness
of money is still noted.
Atlanta.—Wholesale dealers in hats,
shoes, dry goods and notions report sales
fairly good. Retail trade has Increases.
Collections continue fair. The rainfall
has been somewhat excessive, but crop
conditions in general continue favorable.
Chattanooga—General improvement is
noted in practically all lines of industry.
Wholesale dealers in dry goods and no
tions, as well as groceries and hardware,
report orders being booked for future
shipment. The vacation season seems to
have stimulated retail trade, and collec
tions show improvement. Textile manu
facturers are booking practically all the
orders they can fill, and have a large
amount on their books for future ship
ment. The furniture market appears
good, and lumber is about normal. Gener
al rains throughout this section have im
proved crop conditions, and prospects for
eotton are very favorable.
Savannah—Business is quiet and collec
tions are slow. Cotton and other crops in
this section are reported in excellent con
dition, and this is making for better traac.
sentiments.
Birmingham—A better feeling prevails
in the iron market, there being increased
firmness, and quotations range from $10.50
to $11, Birmingham, for No. 2 foundry.
Wholesale trade is fair. Retail trade is
fairly active, owing to special sales. Col
lections are fair. Cropconditions are good
Mobile—Jobbers in all lines report
that trade is fairly active, except mill
supply houses, which say trade is very
slow on account of dullness in and low
prices for lumber. Retail trade is fair
ly active, *but collections are slow.
Montgomery—Cotton is improving,
and crop conditions as a whole are more
encouraging.
Jacksofi—Trade is quiet and collec
tions are slow. Cotton crop in some sec
tions has suffered from excessive rain.
New Orleans—Good weather has pre
vailed over Louisiana, though some lit
tle excess of rain has fallen in a few
localities. The cotton crop is in a good
state of cultivation and beginning to
open. The boll weevil is more plenti
ful in some parishes this year than
last. The damage so far, however, has
hot been as much, planters having
fought the evil with more diligence,
and in consequence they have been part
ly successful in saving their crops. The
acreage is larger, and it is believed that
prices will be satisfactory. Rice farm
ers are commencing to harvest theii
crop, which is reported to be larger
than for 1912, and the overproduction
will probably cause lower prices. Sugar
cane is J in good condition, and the out
look for a fairly large yield is favorable,
barring no mishaps. Jobbers have most
of their men out, and an improvement
in sales is evident, but country mer
chants still have' a tendency toward
conservatism. Retail trade is quiet. Con
ditions are fair.
Fort Worth.—Scattering showers haVe
fallen over the state, which have been
very beneficial to growing crops, but
in most parts moisture came too late
to be of any aid to the corn crop.
Temperatures throughout the state
have been very high, and some late
corn has been destroyed. On the oth
er hand, the weather has been almost
perfect for cotton. On the present
stand of the cotton crop, a prediction
is made that this state will, if con
ditions continue, produce the largest
crop in its history. The ultimate yield,'
if favorable conditions continue, is ex
pected to run from 5,000,000 to 5,500,000
bales. Prevous reports as to the total
yield of corn, wheat and oats are con
firmed. There will be a tremendous
yield of milo maize, kaffir corn ana
large forage crops of every kind, and
with these conditions prevailing it looks
as though the state will be in a more
prosperous condition this fall than for
many years past. There continues a
good demand for lumber. Hardware
jobbers report activity, as do also job
bers in dry goods and overalls. There
is some improvement in the wholesale
grocery line, and collections with all are
reported very good. There is an in
creased supply of live stock at the local
yards, and the market is rising. Retail
business is uiet. Labor is well employed,
and in some instances it is difficult to
fnd hands.
THE CROPS.
With a continuance of the tendency to
advance wheat crop estimates noted
some weeks ago, winter wheat esti
mates now being up around 525,000,000
bushels and spring wheat at 250,000,-
000 bushels, or a record total of 775,-
000,000 bushels, crop estimators have
turned their attention to corn, and
some rather lugubrious reports have
come from the southwest this week.
The concurrence of a squeeze in old-
crop (July) corn may have added some
thing to the fervor of the crop killers,
though nradstreet’s reports from the
southwest show a widespread need of
rain in Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and
western Missouri. Estimates of dam
age range from 25 to 50 per cent, but
late advices are that the weather in the
southwest is cooler, and some heavy
showers are reported east of the Mis
sissippi river. The weakness of the
corn plant the country over is that
there is little reserve moisture in the
ground, but on the other hand, the re
ports of widespread damage need con
firmation, especially in view of the
fact that present wheat crop estimates
are nearly 100,000,000 bushels larger
than the frenzied estimates of early
July. In the northwest, which has
gone in for corn more than ever before,
reports are that the crop is in excellent
condition, and many southern states
also report corn in good shape, though
Texas reports a yield short of last
year’s.
irregular and late harvested oats are
turning out better than expected. Still,
there seems no doubt that the crop
will be considerably short of last year’s
record crop of 1,400,000,000 bushels,
though 1,000.000,000 bushels is confi
dently looked for.
Hay is a very irregular crop, but
shorter than last year’s crop in most
states. Pastures have been badly burn
ed, which may partly explain the re-
THREE BURGLAHS ARE
JAILED IN SAVANNAH
Members of Gang Which Has
Operated in Atlanta Are
Arrested
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 7.—Three of
a gang of four burglars who have been
operating in Atlanta recently were
placed under arrest yesterday by Chief
Detective Murphy and Detective Scully,
when they attempted to gain possession
of some of vj.be booty shipped by ex
press to Savannah.
The men under arrest are: Harry
Sharpton, Roy Nash and B. S. Trayn-
ham. The fourth member of the gang
was arrested in Atlanta. The three men
are being held at the police barracks
awaiting an officer from Atlanta.
With the arrest of the men two suit
oases containing several suits of
clothes, a number of ties, razors, per
fumery apd other articles were recover
ed. These cases are now bei pg held at
police headquarters.
The arrest of the men was made upon
information furnished the police by. a
letter from Atlanta. In this letter the
police were advised of the loss of an al
ligator skin 'suit case and the clothes.
The articles are alleged to be booty ta
ken from an Atlanta residence which
they burglarized.
The police learned that the property
had been forwarded to Savannah. One
of the suit cases w*as tagged as being
sent by Charles Nash to be delivered to
Roy Nash. This was recovered when
Sharpton was arrested by Chief of De
tectives Murphy and Detective Scully.
Late in the afternoon Detective Scully
learned of the whereabouts of the otjrier
two men who were associates of Sharp-
ton. They were apprehended by the de
tective later in the afternoon.
The men made an acknowledgment to
the detectives of their guilt of the
charge. They sent the property from
Atlanta expecting to recover here. They
stopped by Macon. They acknowledge
also to having burglarized a house in
Atlanta. -
The men are being held at the bar
racks awaiting advices from Atlanta. It
is likely that they will be taken back
to Atlanta within the next few days for
trial.

in that state by heat, but crops of
other forage are very large. There is
rather more thought of the theory that
the dry weather has arrested the growth
of the boll weeevil in th lower Missis
sippi valley. The farhiers are fighting
that pest with some success. In the
eastern half of the cotton belt the re
ports as to cotton and corn are very
good.
The Louisiana rice crop will be a
large one, as will also the sugarcane
yield.
Virginia will raise a large tobacco
crop, but burley tobacco in Kentucky
is reported to have been injured by dry
weather and succeeding storms.
There is general complaint the coun
try over of dry w T eather having hurt
small vegetables and fruit crops.

Here Was Man as Rich as Morgan
Yet the Public Hardly Knew Him
Anthony N, Brady, "Mole of
Wall Street," Who Died
Recently in London, Is Es
timated to Have Been Worth
$100,000,000, of Which
Several Millions Were In
vested in Georgia Water
Powers
(By Associated Press. 1
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Although the
provisions o fthe will of the late An
thony N. Brady have given no indication
of the size of his estate, unofficial es
timates published here today place
Mr. Brady’s wealth practically on a par
with that of the late J. P. Morgan.
A former financial adviser to Mr.
Brady is quoted as placing his estate
at $76,000,000 as a minimum estimate,
and as adding that it might prove to be
in excess of $100,000,000. A recent re
port by a state transfer tax attorney
estimated Mr. Morgan’s estate at $100,-
000.
Mr. Morgan occupied a so much more
conspicuous place in the public eye,
than Mr. Brady and many others ot
great wealth, that the reports of the
Brady fortune being on a par with that
of Mr. Morgan have occasioned surprise
even in Wall street, where he was best
know*n.
Mr. Brady^s investments lacked the
transient factor which made Mr. Mor
gan’s wealth so well known. It is said
that he had over $30,000,000 in tobacco
alone. His holdings in Brooklyn Rapid
Transit stock amounted to about $8,-
000,000. '
In Tennesee and Georgia power prop
erties he is said to have had investments
worth $10,000,000. and during the last
few years he had put between $6,000,000
and $7,000,000 in Japanese lighting
plants, especially in Tokio.
Mr. Brady died recently in London.
Though at an advanced age, his death
was rather unexpected, as he was ap
parently in good health when he sailed
from New York. He was known as “the
mole of Wall street.” because he kept
his movements largely under cover.

MANY DIVORCE SUITS
IN MUSCOGEE COUNTY
COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 7.—The Mus-
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
cogee superior court is in session this
week with a very light calendar before
it, composed largely of divorce cases.
The grand Jury was organized yesterday
with the naming of G. O. Berry as^ fore
man and was charged by Judge Gilbert
along the usual statutory lines. Among
the numerous divorce cases to come up
is one of an unusual* nature, it being
that of Dr. W. L. Cooke, a prominent
physician, who is seeking a divorce* from
his wife, claiming in his petition Charles
D. Hunt, Jr., as corespondent. Owng
to the prominence of all parties to the
suit, the case is attracting widespread
interest. It is expected to be called
Wednesday morning.
FATAL INITIATION NOT
VIGOROUS, SAYS MOOSE
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 7.—
Among the several witnesses before the
coroner’s jury today in the investiga
tion of the deaths of Christopher Gus-
tin and Donald Kenny, who died during
initiation at the meeting of Birming
ham Lodge Loyal Order of Moose, July
24.. while receiving the “branding”
stunt, was David U. Williams, secre
tary of the lodge. He described the
initiation and denied that the “razor”
part of the stunt which gave the elec
trical shock was .placed near the heart
of the victims. He announced also that
the work that night was not rougher
than at any other time and that the
same mogneto which had been used be
fore and in other lodges was used that
night.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—Bonded
warehouses at various ports in the Unit
ed States are fairly bursting with the
great stocks of foodstuffs and merchan
dise, awaiting withdrawal by their own
ers. The fact is set forth in a state
ment today by the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, which declares
that goods to the value of $105,928,884
were in the warehouses June 30 last, as
against stocks to the value of $72,246,-
878 on June 30, 1912. Two-thirds of
the treasure is in the government’s pos
session in the port of New York.
Sugar, leaf tobacco and raw wool
make up a heavy part of the stores.
Chemicals, manufactures of fiber (chief
ly burlaps and linens), manufacturers
of silk, fruit and nuts and manufactur
ers of irpn and steel also are heavily
represented. The approaching enact
ment of tariff legislation by congress
is held responsible for th'* great stocks
on hand.
“The value, of imported merchandise
in bonded warehouses at the present
ti ie.” says the bureau’s statement, “is
more than double that in warehouses
immediately prior to the enactment of
the "tariff laws of 1890 and 1894, five
times greater than in 18.97 and about 20
per cent larger than in 1909.”

Tango and Turkey
Trot Frove Boon
ToChiropodists
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Clara S. Hous
ton, of Chicago, who is credited by the
national convention of chiropodists here
as having the only perfect feet in Ameri
ca, told the members at last night’s ses
sion that the turkey trot and tango
dancing craze was proving a great boon
to chiropodists.
“People are coming in droved,” she
said "complaining of their feet. The
trouble is that the tango is calling a
lot of muscles hitherto very little used,
into action and putting unaccustomed
strains on the toes.”
