8 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA.. GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1913. Bardemau, of Jefferson, in Hace lor Congress in Tentli. Representative R. N. nardeman, ol Jefferson, who for the past several ^ears has beeen on of the leaders in the house, announced today that he woulu bo a candidate for congress in the Tenth district next fall. Mr. Hardeman will run to succeed Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick. He svill issue his formal announcement later. Judge Carl Vinson, of Mil ledgeville, has already let it be known that he will go alter Congressman riardwick's job, and friends of John T. West, of Thomson, are urging him to make the race. Congressman Hardwick has not yet stated whether he will seek re-election. He has served his district ably and well for eleven years and has a strong hold upon his constituents. Mr. Hardeman is quite popular throughout the Tenth district, and the Very excellent record which he has made as a member of the legislature has caused him to be looked upon as one of the strongest men in his section. Former Solon Pays Georgl6 Legislature a Short Visit. Jules McCury, of Hartwell, formerly a. member of the house of representa tives from Hart county and later a state senator, paid the capitol a visit Monday afternoon to see many of his old friends and former colleagues. State Senate Has Three Days of Easy Work Ah c ad. With the passage of the tax equali sation. bill the senate can look forward to three days of “taking life easy," for on recommendation of the rules committee the* senate has agreed not to accept any general house bills which may come to the senate for the first time. This will leave only local bill*! to pass and such measures of general in terest as are already on the senate cal endar. It will not exclude the appro priations budget, as the senate has handled it once before. Such bills as may be sent to the senate not admissible under the new rule will be returned and must wait until next year to come up for pass- age. Declare Injustice Was Done To Nunnally and Shuptine. Members of the rules committee of the house declare that an injustice has been done Representatives Nunnally, of Floyd, and Shuptrine, of Chatham, of that com mittee, by the statements that these two gentlemen tried to block the bill estatr- lishing a home for wayward girls. According to the other members of the committee, Messrs. Nunnally and Shup trine were both heartily in favor of the measure and aided materially, not only in obtaining its favorable consideration at the hands of the board, but in seeing it through the house. SWAYING THE JAPANESE? Such Intimation at Washing- ton—Mr. Wilson Pleased Over Mexic Outlook Committee Wants State to Pay for Silver Service. The appropriations committee of the house voted Tuesday afternoon to pay the debt of $1,300 which the state owes on the silver service which was presented to the battleship Georgia at the Jamestown ex position. Charels, W. Crankshaw, th jeweler w ho made the service at the request of the late Joseph M. Terrell, at that time gov ernor of the state, appeared before the committee.- He. told the committee that the donations to the gift made by the cit ies of the state, amounted to $6,215, haa been paid long ago, but that the state it self still owed a large sum. The sentiment of the majority of the committee appeared to be that a debt which involves the honor and integrity of the state as this does should be paid at whatever cost. They B®lieved ax Measure Would Hurt Rural Sections. Those senators who opposed the passage of the tax equalization bill on Monday did so in general on the ground that it would work a hardship on the rural communities of the state. Such senators as DuBose, McGregor and Oliff .spoke to this effect, while others who believed with them just as strongly, but who did not speak, did their best to down the measure with their vote. Senator He Pope, of the Forty- fourth, was- one of the latter. While Senator Pope is not fond of taking the senate floor and to sling oratory right and left, he is always on hand to cast his vote for or against a measure. Apparently he is not influenced by partisan politics, but thinks deeply on every question and votes as he believes Is right and best for the interests of the state. He is one of the few sena tors who have missed hardly- a single session this year, and who never fails to act one way or the other on a ques tion. They Say Reno Ruth Lobbied for the Bill. Not content with having a Washing ton, an Athens and a Rome, the state of Georgia must adopt the name of an other city famed in the world’s his tory, and create the town of Reno. Reno, Ga., will be a town just as soon as Governor Slaton affixes his signature to the bill passed by the sen ate Tuesday morning, already passed by the house. The bill was Introduced by Representative Collins, of Grady. It incorporates the town of Reno, in Grady county, south Georgia. While Reno, Nev., is notorious, the good peo ple of Reno, Ga., do not w r ant their town to be confused with the city of prize fights and divorces. No race suicide for Reno, Ga., they say. Tax Equalization Law Combines Features of Many House Bills. The senate tax equalization bill, which was passed by the house Tues day afternoon, is largely a composite measure, many of its essential features having been taken from bills introduced in the house early in the present ses sion. The idea of a state tax commis sioner in lieu of a state board of equal izers was adopted from the bill of Rep resentative Barry Wright, of Floyd. Representative E. H. McMichael, of Marion, introduced the bill providing for tax discoverers to be appointed by and work, under local or county boards of equalizers. This idea was adopted in the senate bill. Neither the house ways and means committee bill nor the Sheppard sub stitute provided for tax discoverers. The Wright bill did have such provi sion, but under its terms they were to be appointed by the state tax com missioner. The senate bill leaves the selection of tax discoverers to the local of coun ty boards. From the bill of Representative F. A. Lipscomb, of Clarke, were taken the ideas for local boards of assessors and state control of county returns. Governor Urged to Give Hew Judgeship to Atlanta Lawyer. Several well known members of the Atlanta bar met Tuesday afternoon in the office of Attorney Hollins Ran dolph and passed resolutions request ing Governor Slaton to appoint a mem ber of the Atlanta bar to the new Ful ton county superior court judgeship just created by the legislature. Judge L. S. Roan, of the Stone Moun tain circuit, has been persistently mentioned for this place, and the at torneys who memorialized the governor Tuesday declared that there was no objection whatever to Judge Roan, but they thought that inasmuch as the new court would be an Atlanta and Fulton county court the judge to preside over it should be a member of the Atlanta bar. The resolutions congratulate the Stone Mountain circuit on having such an able and distinguished judge as Judge Roan. Until the past few days it had been generally conceded that Judge Roan, who is now and has been for several months, a resident of At lanta, would get the new place. Governor Slaton is expected to make an appointment within the next few days. WOMEN USE REPORTERS FOR MAIDEN SPEECHES Female Voters Prepare to Go on Stamp, But They Are Nervous CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—Chicago women voters blossomed out today as stump speakers before an audience of report ers. For several weeks they have oeen holding classes in public speaking at headquarters of the women’s party, but no outsider has been permitted in the room. A group of newspaper men who had been refused admission to former classes were gathered outside the party headquarters, when Mrs. Charlotte Rhodus, president of the organization, invited them in. “The wopnen need practice and they might as well start in on you,” she said. “I guese everybody concerned can stand the ordeal.” She hustled the half dozen reporters into the small hall. “I wish there were more goats for these maiden speeches, but I guess you will have to do for the present,” said the president as she led ^the first speaker to the platform. Gaduates of the' class will be used to organize and arouse interest in the city wards. THIEF IN PULLMAN GETS JEWELS WORTH $1,000 CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 12.—A thief, disguised as a brakeman, entered a Pull man car in the Union station here to day and grabbing a chamois bag, con taining $1,000 worth of jewelry, belong ing to Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Beckham, of ShelbyviHe, Ky., ran out again. Mr. Beckham’s little daughter saw the fleeing thief and gave the alarm. A score of pasengers aided in a chase, but the robber escaped. WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS CURRENCY MEET TOPIC Democratic Caucus Hears Pro posed Amendments to Ad ministration Measure WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—Discussion of the administration currency bill at the Democratic house caucus today cen tered about proposed amendments to make warehouse receipts for farm crops legal security for the issuance of cir culating treasury notes. Representatives Neeley, of Kansas; Ragsdale, of South Carolina, and others were ready to offer their proposed amendments. Chairman Glass had rallied a strong administration support behind the bill and with the aid of the Democratic house leaders, hoped to carry it through the caucus with little change. ZEBRA-HORSE CROSS BETTER THAN MULES WASHINGTON, Aug. 13—Experts of the bureau of animal industry believe they have discovered a new crossed breed of horse that will prove as tough and utilitarian as the mule, and yet have the intelligence and speed of the purely bred horse. This belief followed experiments made by breeding "Dan" the Greavy Zebra, from the National Zoological garden, to a Morgan mare at the Maryland experi mental farm of the department of agri culture. The resultant foal has been highly praised by horsemen, and the breeders are urging that the government import as many more zebras of the same strain as can be procured.

Westcott, game warden, is in a delimma. He has been out to the Ogeechee river to see if he could find any violators of the law against shoot ing summer ducks. The Ogeechee river separates Bryan county from Chatham. Mr. Westcott has no jurisdiction in Bryan county and he says he saw a man shooting summer ducks on the Bryan • county side of the river In plain view of him. But the warden could only remonstrate with the alleged law breaker and his remonstrance did not go far. [DENECHAUD HEADS CATHOLIC SOCIETIES (By Associated Press.) MILWAUKEE, Aug. 13.—Charles I. Denechaud, of New Orleans, was re elected president of the American Fed eration of Catholic societies, and Balti more was named for host to the next conventio ntoday. Secretary Matref, St. Louis, and Treasurer Hesenkamp, of Quincy, Ill., were re-elected. " BY BALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—Intimation is given by the unofficial remarks of some of the responsible members of the administration that the public attitude of Japan toward the mission of General Diaz, of Mexico, to Japan, is due to the coaching or influence of Great* Britain. It certainly Is a fact that there is an air of joy about the White House over both British explanations of how that government came to recognize the Huerta government of Mexico and over the declination of the Japanese emperor to receive General Diaz. The hint is given that other foreign governments are expected to assume a similar public attitude as soon as the Wilson Mexican policy is given out officially. The statement is made at the White House that no foreign government has been granted official information of the proposed policy. But, the only inter pretation to be placed on th£ attitude or the administration, as unofficially ex- presed, is that some of the foreign gov ernments have received private infor mation as to President Wilson’s inten tions toward Mexico. Otherwise it would be unlikely these governments would assume the public position they do. President Wilsofi yesterday was open in his expressions of pleasure at the pi/ogress made by John Lind on his deli cate errand. The president today ap parently feels more hopeful than at any previous time of ultimate success in quieting Mexico, without the necessity of intervention and without being com pelled to recognize any government founded on such crimes as that upon which the Huerta government rests. If other governments presently follow the example of Great Britain and Japan, Huerta will be segregated from any show of outside sympathy. This, it is thought, will go far toward discourag ing fhorfe who have been acting as his financial supporters for the hope of such returns in the way of concessions as he, once firmly established, could give them. It is clear from the attitude of the administration that it has been working along this line. HOUSE EMASCULATES PURE ELECTION LAWS Passes Bill Repealing Law for Primaries Sixty Days Be fore General Elections <n !ISC0 WHITE SLAVE CSSE IS PROCHESSINC Martha Warrington Continues Story of How Men Lured Two to Reno SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.—Martha Warrington was the state’s first wit ness today in the trial of Maury , L. Diggs, charged with violation of the Mann act. She continued her story of yesterday of how she, in company with 1 Lola Morris, Drew Caminetti and Diggs slipped away from Sacramento to Reno, in hope of avoiding local notoriety and stirred up a scandal which developed into an affair of nationwide interest and entered the halls of congress. It was not alone for Miss Warring ton that a crowd took its slender chance of admission to the small court room. The next witness ready to be called was Lola Morris, whose school girl hair rib bons and smoothly moulded face gave the impression that she was consider ably the younger of the two. Her story in essentials, it was expected, would be much like that of Miss Warrington, al though the latter testified that Diggs was the more active in some of the quartet’s preparations which she de scribed, than Caminetti, with whom the Moris girl fled. “What did Caminetti say?” asked an attorney once when Miss Warrington was explaining how t.he men had labored to persuade the girls to leave home. “He didn’t say much,” she replied. “He just agreed.” A new registration bill, which It la declared by'some of the best thinkers in both tl*e hou.se and senate, will re sult in nullifying the pure elections . statutes enacted in 1908, was passed by the house Tuesday morning during | the rush of latter day bills and with out, it is said, the members knowing just what was being voted upon. This bill provides that slate prima- i ries shall not be held later than June 115, preceding the general elections in the fall, and thereby repeals the law which prescribes that primaries shall be held at a date not later than sixty days before the regular general elec-; tions. It was introduced by Represen- \ tatives Cooper and Crawley;, of Ware. j A hot fight will doubtless be made upon this bill in the senate, as many of the house members. W'ho did not' know it was being voted upon Tues- day, will personally urge the senators! to defeat It. Opponents of the meas-1 ure point out that the constitution of’ the state rquires that tlie tax books shall be closed six months before the general elections and that this being. true the» registrars would not have sufficient time to properly purge thei registration lists if the primaries are j to be held Jun© 15 or earlier. WRIGHT CRITICISES LAW. Representative Barry Wright, of Floyd, is one of the strong men of the house who has foreseen the dangers which lie in the registration bill. He has give nout the following interview of his position on it: “House bill No. 641 was passed by the house without debate this morning, and in my judgment destroys the value of the registration laws of Georgia so j far as the purity of the primary is con- j cerned. “It provides that all primary elec- j tions for state house officers and oth- j ers shall be held not later than June 15 before the general election in Oc tober. “This practically destroys the value of the law requiring taxes to be paid and the registration books closed six months in advance of the general elec tion because a necessary companion piece of legislation was the law re quiring the primary to be held not earlier than sixty days before the October election. “This primary law with the sixty- day limit did three things. “First, it allowed the board of reg istrars ample time to purge the regis tration lists of all unqualified voters. “Second, it gave the farmers of the state a chance to get their crops laid by so that they could turn out and vote at the election as an early spring elec tion would find them at work in their fields. t “Thi-d, it pervented corruptionists of primary elections from holding the pri mary immediately after the registration books were closed getting interest aroused to white heat while the regis tration books were stil lopen and pay ing the taxes of and registering venal voters during the heat of a primary election, and confined the registration list to those voters who quietly reg istered without excitement under their conscientious duty as citizens. “Under the law as pased by the house the primary election may be called for the day after the registration books areclosed without giving the registrars a chance to purge the list and while the farmers are in their busiest season of the year and when the venal floating vote is aroused to white heat and may be registered by the ‘healers’ without fear of'purging and with the knowledge that they can be kept under control un til after the primary is held. “Debate was shut off oh this bill before its opponents had an oportunity to be heard and in my opinion before a majority of the house knew what they were voting on.” Team on Way to Camp Perry Match in Wreck in Kentucky, None Injured and Many Show Great Heroism Side Door Sets Diners Free While Cops Watch (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—The thirty guests who were locked up in Healy’s restaurant shortly after 1 o’clock this morning, when police surrounded the place under Mayor Gaynor’s curfew or der that all liquor selling establishments should close at 1 o’clock, escaped through a side door shortly after 3 o’clock this morning.

BY LIEUT. J. C. ADOLPHUS. CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. 12.—The Georgia rifle team en route to the Camp Perry shoot)* arrived in Cincinnati this morning at 6 o’clock, just eight hours late. We were fortunate to get hefe at all, as we had one of the worst wrecks for no one to be killed we ever saw. The monstrous big Louisville and Nashville engine left the track right opposite a little station called Hazel- patch, Ky., and a few yards fartlier turned completely over. This wreck developed two heroes who are deserving of Mr. Carnegie’s hero medals. When the engineer saw that his engine was going over he called to his fireman to jump. The fireman’s re ply was: T will stay with her till she stops.” Many lives were saved by the master ly handling of this big engine. There was scarcely a shock when the train cam© to a standstill, and it was run ning about 25 to 30 miles an hour. The best of fellowship exists among the team members. We are anticipating some records to be broken in our class. We arrive at Camp Perry about 6 p. m., provided no accidents prevent. We are looking forward to the^good eating that will be waiting for as General Nash is a great believer in a rifle team having plenty of good food. Mr. H. H. Milner, city passenger agent of the Louisville and Nashville rail road, Atlanta, is to be congratulated upon the way he handled the passenger at the wreck. He is the railroad’s rep resentative with the Georgia team. Cocoanut Raid Came Very Near Stirring Up Diplomatic Row (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—Fourteen cocoanut-hungry sailors on the United States ship Hannibal came near to caus-* ing a diplomatic incident, according to advices reaching the state department today, and it was only through the good offices of Commander George N.

In conjunction with the charge d'affaires at Panama, and Gover nor Arcia, of Colon, the naval officer ex plained the raid, of his men on the co coanut grove of the Panamanian. “Owing to the skilled diplomacy and the courteous manner in which Com mander Heyward handled the matter,” said the report received today from the legation at Panama, “the complaint was withdrawn.” The complainant, Senor Aguilar, was thoroughly indignant because of the ac tion of some of the men from the Han nibal, who were on shore leave. They took several of the planter’s best speci mens of fruit, “Caramba!” the planter, ejaculated when he discovered his loss. ' “I will de mand satisfaction!” When Commander Heyward, accom panied by‘ Governor Arcia and the resi dent American diplomat, had explained in quiet terms the dereliction of his men, Senor Aguilar insisted that the men of the Hannibal come to his planta tion again “to eat as many cocoanuts as they desired.” Italian's Shirt Starts Commotion on Big Ship (By Associated Press.)
