GOVERNMENT FIGURE TOSSERS TO COMBINE IWAdoo Urges That Auditing Staffs Be Placed Under One Roof - (By Associated Press.) W ASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—Probably the greatest aggregation of arithmetical and mathematical geniuses ever gather ed under one roof will be assembled by Secretary McAdoo, who is urg ing upon congress a plan to combine in one building the auditing staffs of the several executive departments. He will utilize the big structure about to be vacated by the bureau of engraving and printing and while the cost of remodel ing would approximate $73,000, he de clares the government would save about $35,000 a year in rent now paid for the use of quarters in business blocks. Auditors for the interior and navy departments now share one building, while those for the state and other departments occupy another. The cleri cal forces are divided and a loss in ef ficiency is the result, according to Mr. McAdoo, Furthermore, the secretary of the treasury is looking forward to a decided increase in the treasury audit ing force on the passage of the new tar iff law with its income tax feature. The jugglers of figures and delvers into statistics, the secretary is urging on congress, will be much better off if given quarters of their own. He is ask ing that $40,000 be appropriated with which to begin the alterations in the building. erns.

He went to St. Louis during the street railway strike, remaining there a year, going thence to Chicago and working on the street railway. He was there nine years. The Cooks bad been married four years. Cook was arrested yesterday after noon at Smyrna. Tenn., aon a warrant sworn out by Sheriff Rhodes, of Ruth erford count)’. The crime was commit ted last Monday night at the Cook home, three miles from Smyrna. Cook, for fear of mob violence, was hurried to Nashville, and lodged in the Davidson county jail for safe keeping. The arrest followed four days of vig ilant search by Sheriff Rhodes and his deputies and other officers, as well as residents of the* neighborhood for the weapon which the deed was committed. This afternon shortly after 2 o’clock a hickory bludgeon, smeared with blood, was discovered in the Cook stable and the arrest followed immediately. Cook protested his innocence and at first de manded a preliminary hearing before the coroner’s jury, which was in ses sion. However, at the earnest request of Attorney General W. S. Faulkner, who was present and who feared ntob vio lence, he waived examination and was hurried away in a taxicab, which had been held in waiting. Shortly afterwards the coroner’s jury brought in a verdict in which they found that the two women had come to their death from the effects of blows ad ministered by a heavy blunt instrument under circumstances pointing to the guilt of William F. Cook. The crime was one of the bloodiest in the history of the state. The room in which the dead women were discov ered was stained with blood and bore evidences of a desperate struggle. Cook reported the tragedy at 6 o’clock Mon day morning, and claimed that he had attended church the night before and on awakening found his wife dead in the room adjoining the one in which he had slept, while her niece was dead on the porch, just outside the door.

AUSTELL CITIZENS IN BOND ELECTION (Special Dispa'tch to The Journal.) AUSTELL, Ga., Aug. 30.—A bond elec tion was held here August 27 for the following purposes: $12,000 for water works, $8,000 for sewers, $5,000 for street improvements. Every issue was carried by a large majority, there be ing only two votes against water bonds, four against street improvements and six against sewers. The mayor and council some time ago signed a contract, with the J. B. McCrary company, of Atlanta, for the installa tion of electric lights. According to contract the lights will be in operation November 1, this year. The electric power is being developed from Sweetwater creek, near the old fac tory shoals. The citizens of Austell are well pleased with the outcome of the election and it is believed the little city will now come to the front. I T is astonishing how few people realize how much in jury and loss comes from lice and mites on their fowls, and hundreds of people who have been accustom to dusting their fowls still continue to do so. While this was one of the proper things when it was discovered and the best way known at that time to get rid of live Insects on fowls it is only temporary, and in a week or ten days during hot weather has to be repeated as the nits on fowls hatch very rapidly and a short time after the fowls have been dusted they will be covered again. It seems natural for fowls to be plagued with In sects and you have to watch and fight them continually, and the only method I have found to thoroughly cleanse them and have It permanent for several months at least Is by dipping the fowls in a solution of either of the standard dips that are ad vertised in The Jorunal. There is but little difference In any of these dips so far as their doing the actual work. When mixed one part dip to five parts water It makes a dip solution and one that will not only kill the insects but the eggs that are deposited on the feathers. It is so easily done that anyone with the assistance of one helper can easily dip five hundred birds in .a day. And it the roosts are thoroughly paint ed the same day or soon after you will have your house and fowls thoroughly cleansed and in a con dition to lay eggs, or to convert a small amount of food into egg production and fiesh when otherwise if they were infested with insects the food could not be near so well utilized as if they were cleaned. During the past few years this method has been largely practiced and is undoubtedly saving thousands of dollars for the poultry breed ers ail over the country, and those who have learned to dip their hogs and cattle in a similar manner are also getting results from their work. These same dips that are used to rid chickens of insects will also rid c»ttle of ticks and hogs of lice, and the loss to the south from these terrible parasites runs into millions of dollars. A dipping vat for cattle and hogs is absolutely essential on every farm, and the people through out the entire south are fast learning this. By thoroughly dipping your chickens in April, again in July or Angus!!, and again in the early fall, you can keep them rid of all kinds of insects and get results from them as you could not get otherwise. Young chickens after they are feathered can stand to be dipped, but the solution should not be so strong as for old chickens. Any chicken that you desire to use for table purposes should not be dipped. The disin fectant will remain on the feathers and skin for four to six weeks after being dipped and the flesh will taste of the dips that are used. There fore, any chicken that you wish to use for eating purposes should be separated and not treated. Lice'as a rule stay on a chicken's body and live there. They do not inhabit the roosts and house like mites do, but to be sure that you make a good job when you are at it the roosts and nests should all be thoroughly painted with either of these same prep arations that are used for this purpose. If such can not be had cheaply on conveniently a preparation of one pound of moth balls, five gallons of kerosene oil and one gallon of crude carbolic acid makes a splendid spray or paint to use on the roosts and nests, and no insect will stay where this is used. A great many people will wonder why their chickens will not lay, and the young ones do not thrive and grow as they should; and in most cases you can trace the trouble to insects. They are the direct cause of a big loss to all poultry breeders and it takes eternal work and dili gence to keep these pests off your chickens so as to get best results from your fowls. Quite a number of dips and preparations are now being manufactured all over the entire south, and it has been a °reat help to the poultry breeders to have these preparations where they can be had conveniently as the saving by their use runs into thousands of dollars each year. If you have not looked after your chickens hogs and cattle and thoroughly cleansed them of all Insects it should be done at once as it means many dollars to, you.

BENOA, Aug. 30.—Porter Chariton, under escort of Lieutenant Franchini and Carabineer Rizze, of the tlalian military police, was brought ashore here today from the steamship Re d’ltalia. After a few hours in prison he was hurried to Como, where he is to stand trial for the murder of his wife three years ago. The strictest measures of precaution were adopted t Q guard Charlton by a strategem. The newspaper correspond ents and photographers were prevented from approaching him. The head of the police invited the newspaper men aboard his launch. The invitation was eagerly accepted in the belief that this would be a good means to reach the prisoner. The launch set out for the Re d’ltalia but suddenly stopped in midstream. All protests were unavail ing, even when some of the American reporters threatened to take up the matter with the American authorities. Charlton appeared on the gangway supported on either side by Franchina and Rizze. He was handcuffed for the first time but tried to conceal the fact by the use of a waterproof folded over his hands. Instead of the Mar&sni prison, where a great crowd had gathered, he was taken to the barracks of the carabi neers. The crowd then rushed to the barracks but the gates were closed and guarded. After a short interrogation by the captain of carabineers, Charlton was put on the 7:45 train for Como. Franchina and Rizze still acted as his guard.

House Falls on Man; He's £o Bruised He'll Be A-bed Till Monday FLINT, Mich., Aug. 30.—Alderman Fred Behrendt had a house fall on him yesterday. u . be confined to his home until Monday. He sustained several bruises. The alderman’s two-story home, sup ported on one side by cedar posts, is located on a hillside. Recent heavy rains undermined the posts and Thurs day the house began to slide slightly downward. Yesterday it moved again, so Mr. Behrendt decided to anchor it more securely. Armed with jack- screws, he crawled under the building, placed the screws in position and turn ed one—then it happened. The house slid forward and Behrendt was pinned against a pile of debris. He screamed. His wife rushed out, seized a shovel and tried to extricate her hus band. Failing, she called the police and sounded a general alarm . It took an hour and a half to dig out Behrendt. His rescuers said his escape from instant death was miraculous. After Behrendt was turned over to a physician the hquse was pushed back to where it belonged. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—Federal and state judges from every state will confer tomorrow night at Montreal, Can ada, at the American Bar association meeting to formulate plans for a com plete reform of the rules of pleading and practice on the law side of the supreme court of the United States, all federal district courts, and eventually make uniform the practice in all courts in the United States. It is the aim to eliminate delay and reduce the ex pense of all litigation. The method to be discussed will be to obtain legislation from congress to per mit the supreme court of the United States of its own motion to reform its law rules just as it already has its equity rules and soon will make uni form the admiralty and bankruptcy rules. It also is hoped to obtain legis lation to give the supreme court super intendence over the rules of pleading and practice in all federal and state courts, as is the methed in England, and thus gradually make uniform court procedure in every court in this coun try. A memorandum embodying the pro posed changes, prepared by W. R. Hughes, of the, department of justice, i3 to be the basis for the reform pro posed at the Montreal meeting at which Attorney General McReynolds will be present. It is understood that the pro posed amendments have the indorsement of the American Bar association. UK A DETECTIVE—Bam from $150 to $300 per month; travel over the world. Writ* •. C. T.

Rainey, a young attorney, at present solicitor . of the Gadsden city court, will make the race against Mr. Burnett.
