8 THE ATLANTA SiSMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, HA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1913. GEORGIA AND HER POLITICS $30 000 Appropriated [answer to one he wrote to Dr. Robert for Home for Girls. IL. Ogden, of the University of Tennnes- 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 vor this bill.” he said, “in spite of the tactics used by some of its advocates rather than because of them. I deny the right of any society or individual from.” to question the motives of this com mittee. The question before us has not been whether or not we would like to support the measure, but one where the money for the purpose was coming Ogden for his the coming convention. Dr. wrote to thank Mr. McCallie proffered help. The scientific body which has chosen Atlanta for its next meeting is the largest, of its kind in the country. This is the second time in its history that it has met in the south, a convention taking place in New Orleans several years ago. It ie composed of a great many af filiate societies, and will bring to At lanta the greatest men of science in the United States today. 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 tion. “At this time agricultural develop . It’s Better Than Founding On the Desk, at Any Rate. 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 ate has a grouch, look out, Mr. Meas ure. *Ih6 senate was in a bad humor Thurs day. One of the members thought so anyway. It was just after the senaet h?d voted down his pet bill with sav age joy. The senator looked sulky and growled: ‘This senate would hang a man in ment is extremely important to this two seconds today, I believe,” he mut- state> Dr. Soule is recognized among tered to himself. those who really know as being one of ' the leading men in the country in his McMichael Says Tax Discoverer line of work.

It has now become one of the most important parts of the col lege and the extension work among the farmers has become a vital influence in practical farming. If onybody has to give way in this controversy between Dr. Soule and the politicians, let it be the politicians. We need Dr. Soule.” 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. Judge John T. Allen Ie Given “The Hand.” The state senate showed the love and esteem which its members bear to Judge John T. Allen, when he took the chair Monday morning fo ra few min utes in place oi? President Anderson. When the senate adjourned Judge Al len was still presiding, and in accord ance with the custom, was applauded vigorously when he announced the sen ate adjourned. As the judge advanced to the front of the platform the applause grew tumult uous, and the judge had to bow very deeply before the admiring senators would stop. It Sounded Dike the Umps Announcing His Batteries. Senator G. Y. Harrell, of the Twelfth, believes in doing things yourself if you want them done.

While Senator Smith was delivering a strong speech against appropriating money for the medical school at Au gusta he happened to be standing at Senator Converse’s seat, nothing unusu al, as senators are ‘in the habit of sit ting most any place in the senate cham ber. Senator Smith had reached a most el oquent part of his peroration, when Senator Converse emerged from the president’s room and shouted. “Mr. President, I rise to a point of order. The gentleman is using my seat to deliver a speech, to which I object very much.” Before the president could rule, Mr. Smith took another chair. The senate roared. Representative Slade Peeved Over His Military Bills Rising to a point of personal privi lege Monday morning, Representative LUKE LEA mm 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. SEVENTEEN ARE HURT IN WRECK ON CENTRAL-ROAD Defective Rail Causes Smash- up Near Savannah-None Fatally Injured SAVANNAH, Ga., ug. 7.—Seventeen persons ure reported to have been in jured, none of them, it is bellevea, fatally, when Central passenger train No. 4, running from Washington to Savannah, was derailed at Oliver, Ga.. fifty miles north of here today. A de fective rail is reported to have been the cause o fthe wreck. The most seriously injured are S. L. Stephens, Atlanta, express messenger, scalp wound;* Ernest Morrow, baggage- master, Atlanta, sprained back, and Mail Clerk Ashley, of Atlanta, whose right hand was smashed. Twelve colored passengers were cut by flying glass, but none of them were seriously injured. The wreck was caused by a defect in the running gear of the express car. This went off first and when the en gineer saw that there was trouble he applied the emergency brakes and this threw many people from their seats. All the passengers reached Savannah about 1 o’clock this afternoon on a special train. ported rusbing of cattle to market and the good demand for feed from flour mills west of the Missouri. Cotton crop conditions are good throughout practically the entire belt. Texas, despite the intense heat, sends optimistic reports regarding the crop, and 5,000,000 to 5,500,000 bales are the estimates of yield. Corn has 'been hurt 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. Be the best-dressed man In your town at our expense.

(15) REGAL TAILORING CO., ?11 Regal Bldg., Chicago, III. 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. WAITING ON NEW TARIFF Bonded Warehouses Hold Stuff Valued at $105,928,884, Two-Thirds in New York 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.

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.” $602Sa WEEK No matter what kind of a Job yog hold, bow much money you ark mak ing you simply oen’tebem touM up thla amazingly aonaaUcnal •ffar.
