Mr. Hale said he would lay a detailed report before President Wilson and Secretary Bryan., The death of John Sheedie at Vera Cruz, a British subject, is reported to have had no connection with political disturbances. Consul Alger reports from Topolo- bampo that Americans do not consider their lives in danger unless interven tion occurs, and are not desirous of leaving.

Presence of Mr, Wilson Not Needed in Washington (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Secretary Bryan was in communication with Pres ident Wilson at the summer White House today over the Mexican situa tion, but described it as unchanged and said no development required the presence of the president in Washing ton at this time.

It was said un officially, however, that Mr. Lind was planning to return home soon unless some move by the Huerta government changed his plans. oCnsul Hanna at Monterey was or dered today to inquire into the re ported execution of six Americans at Torreon, on order of Gederal General Bravo.

THE DOCTOR’S GIFT Food Worth Its Weight in Gold We usually expect the doctor to put imb on some kind of penance and give us bitter medicines. A Penn doctor brought a patient something entirely different and the re sults are truly interesting. “Two years ago,” writes this patient, “I was a frequent victim of acute indi gestion and biliousness, being allowed to eat very few things. One day our fam ily doctor brought me a small package, saying he had found something for me to eat. “He said it was a food called Grape- Nuts and even as its golden color might suggest it was worth its weight in gold, i was sick and tired, trying one thing after another to no avail, but consented to try this new food. “Well! It surprised my doctor’s fond est anticipation and every day since then I have blessed the good doctor and the inventor of Grape-Nuts. “I noticed improvement at once and in a month’s time my former spells of indigestion had disappeared. Iq two months I felt like a new man. My mind was much clearer and keener, my body took on the vitality of youth, arid this condition has continued.” “There’s a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.—The de fense began today its task of attempt ing to clear F. Drew Caminetta of the charge of having transported Lola Nor ris from Sacramento, Cal., to Reno, Nev., for immoral purposes. It sought to lay all responsibility for the fateful ex cursion on the shoulders of Maury I. Diggs, who has been characterized as the 'eader of the party and who has been convicted of having violated the Mann white slave traffic act in taking Marsha Warrington on that journey. When Diggs was on trial it was on the slight figure of the Warrington girl that his attorneys tried to place the burden. Caminetti, however, announced before his trial began that he would not pursue a similar course with Miss Nor ris; that he would make no effort to controvert her story of their relations. Throughout Miss Norris’ ordeal on the witness stand yesterday, she gave no hint of resentment toward the man whom she said had accomplished her downfall. She denied that she still cared for him, but her testimony indicated no desire for any reprisal. She even ad mitted that she had made this statement to a friend: “I do not see how any testimony I could give could hurt Drew, for he never did anything I asked him not to do, or that I did not want to do.” But previously sne had made what the prosecution regarded as a strong admission in the support of the govern ment. “Mr. Caminetti said, ‘All that Diggs has told is right. All four o£ us will have to go.’ ” The defense yesterday tried to empha- si ' Diggs* leadership in the escapade to make it appear that Caminetti was merely a pliant, passive figure in the incidents and discussions that led up to the trip. PRICE Of COTTON STILE GOING UPWARD RAPIDLY Weather Reports Brought Net Rise of From $2 to $2,50 a Bale Wednesday (By Associated Press.) NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 4.—The ad vance in cotton continued today, prices reaching new high levels for the year on all months. At the highest of the morning the January option touched 13.41. Less than ten trading days ago, on August 22, January sold at 11,42. This means that prices have advanced 2 cents a pound, or $10 a bale, in about a week of trading. Today’s rise was caused by good Liv erpool cables, a dry weather map, the forecast which predicted little change in weather conditions and the weekly weather reports, which were much more bullish than expected, as they stated that the crop in the east was not doing as well as it should because of lack of moisture. The market was strongest after this report and went to a level of 42 to 50 points over yesterday’s close, a net rise for the morning of from $2 to $2.50 a bale. STANDING SOUTHERN LEAGUE Clubs. Won.

FROM EUROPE, SEES STATE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WOULD HELP GEORGIA FARMS Atlanta Capitalist Declares the South Stands on Thresh old of Era of Unprecedented Good Times Asa G. Candler, president of the Coca- Cola company, president of the Central Bank and Trust corporation, sees noth ing- but signs of prosperity. He recently returned from an extend ed trip through Europe, where he studied general business conditions, and has now bben home long enough to size up the situation in Georgia and the country at large; He says; “I haven't seen anything this year except prosperous indications. I am surprised that some people should have been anxious, especially so far as this part of the country is concerned. Perhaps it was accounted for by the wars and mutterings of war in Europe, and the rather delicate Mexicr-n situa tion in America. “While from a humanitarian stand point it isn’t nice to seem to 1 yjoice in the misfortunes of other people, still from a business standpoint it is the plain fact that this country, and espe cially the south, is in a position to de rive peculiar benefits this year from condititions abroad. “A large part of Europe has been on what you might call a war basis for upwards of a year, which means that their food supply is running low and their money prices are running high. Money is now higher in Europe than in America, which is a very unusual condi tion. With Europe’s food supply short, and our crops big, it means not only that we will find a market for our ducts, but get a good price. “What we need in this country is to get in a position where we are not de*r pendent on the banks of the east for our money supply. But we’re getting bet ter off all the time, some pessimists to the contrary notwithstanding. “You recall a year or’ so ago they tried to show by statistics that the peo ple were mortgaging their homes to buy automobiles and other luxuries. Maybe they were—some of them. But the percentage of foolish people In this generation, I think, is no larger than it ever was, and. the people who mort gage their homes to buy fine things don’t represent the general run of American people. “Land can’t be bought anywhere to day, whether it be city land or rural land, for the same price that would have bought it a year ago. That means people are in a comfortable fix, able to hold their lands, with something saved for a rainy day. “I believe Georgia's prospects are the best of all the states in the cotton belt.” Arouses the Liver and Purifies the Blood The Old Standard general strengthening tonic, GROVE’S TASTELESS chill TONIC, arouses the liver to action, drives Malaria ont of the blood and builds up the system, ror adults and children. 50c.

She was of 898 tonnage. CHINAMAN STABBED; WIFE ALSO WOUNDED CHICAGO, Sept. 4. After Charles Sing, a Chinaman, proprietor of a South Side restaurant, had been mortal ly stabbed, and his wife, Alice, serious ly wounded today, the police expressed the opinion that the couple had been at tacked by white men because Sing took an American woman for his wife.

Sept. 4.—Already attracting nation-wide attention because of the aggressive and successful char acter of its organization, the LaGrange chamber of commerce, as individuals and as a body, was quick to recbgnize the importance and value of state cham ber of commerce work in Georgia. At the first meeting of its board of direc tors, following announcements regard ing the proposed state chamber, resolu tions of indorsement and hearty co-op eration were passed and wired in to the promoters of the movement. The action of the LaGrange body was a great encouragament to those be hind the movement, and their attitude and action was followed quickly by the Albany chamber of commerce, an other of the livest and most success ful organizations in the south. In a very short time the committee appoint ed by the Atlanta chamber of com merce to investigate the matter of a state organization, was flooded with letters from all parts of the state, from individuals and commercial bodies, of fering moral support and financial aid. STATE-WIDE ENCOURAGEMENT. Never in the history of similar mover ments has there been such a unanimous and all round approval as has been re ceived by those fostering the plan for 1 the state chamber. From the mountains to. the seacoast and from the Alabama line to the South Carolina boundary, have come words of praise and offers of help. Having received such hearty indorse ment from all parts of the state, a meeting was called for the 23d of July to meet in Atlanta and perfect plans for the organization of the state cham ber of commerce. Prominent and repre sentative citizens from all over Geor gia were on hand and a temporary or ganization was effected, the final organ isation to be completed at a meeting to be held in Macon on September 16. The enthusiasm manifested at this first meeting was inspiring and led all those present to become convinced that Georgia is on the eve of a wave of prosperity and growth unparalleled in her history. GREAT WORK PLANNED. At the meeting held in Atlanta in July mention was made of the fact that there seemed to be very general recognition of the fact that If the re sources of Georgia together with its general inducements and attractions were properly exploited to the world, that Georgia would receive not less than $10,000,000 of annual benefit there from, which she is now losing to other states more active in presentation of their attractions to the people of the nation. « In addition to the outside work to be done for the advancement of the in terests of the state, there is an “in terior” work, within the boundary lines of the state, which is much needed, and which will prove every whit as valuable to the state as that to be done outside its borders. The state at large has been quick to recognize that the tieing to gether of all the commercial organiza tions in the state in a concrete whole, and the linking together of all the ag gressive forces for one united purpose, would inevitably result in untold good and unusual development for every part of the state. The old adage that in union there is strength, it is claimed, could never be better demonstrated than through the uniting of all the aggressive and pro gressive forces of the state looking to the fostering and development of cer tain great and w$ll known needs of the commonwealth. Gunby Jordan, in indorsing the prop osition, says; “The idea of a state chamber of com merce in Georgia meets my approval. The reason is self-evident, as I would like to see Georgia grow and prosper. “A state chamber of commerce, han dled properly by competent people, will certainly do the state as much good as the city organizations of similar char acter do the respective cities. “This does not seem to be a new idea. California, other Pacific states and Can ada have for a good many years been leaving us far behind in this idea. “They have persistently advertised, and so glorified their lands, that far less desirable land than is in Georgia has, by this hypnotism, caused thousands of our own people to leave this, the best state in the union, for these west ern lands. 1 “If we really received no new-com ers and invited no foreigners to settle among us, we would still do a great and valuable work for the state by teaching Georgians to know and to value this state at her true worth, and delight in remaining citizens of it and to be proud that they live in the land of peaches, peace and plenty.” SAYS FARMERS NEED IT. Dan G. Hughes, assistant commission er agriculture for Georgia, in a letter discussing the matter, says: “I most heartily approve the plan for organizing a state chamber of com merce. In my opinion it would be bene ficial to all of the towns in the state, but the greatest good which would re sult to the state at large would be that through such an organization the differ ent state or national agricultural agen cies have a direct avenue through which they can reach each and every farmer of every community in Georgia. In our state we have a great many agencies which are capable of rendering valuable service to the farming class of people, but for the lack of organized local bodies it has been almost a matter of impos sibility for these agencies to work in telligently. “I could sight you to towns in the state where good chambers of com merce are doing excellent work for the farmers of the county. A conspicu ous example of such a chamber of com merce is that of Macon, Ga., where they maintain a county agent to carry on demonstration work, girls’ canning club and boys’ canning club. The people of Macon are as much interested in this organization as the people of the coun try, and the people of the country are as much interested as are the people of Macon. “I think that Madison, Morgan coun ty, contemplates perfecting its organ ization on a county-wide plan. “All of this goes to prove that the main thing that we need in the state of Georgai is intelligent, concerted ac tion. Georgia is an agricultural state. The development of Georgia Is, there fore, dependent upon the agricultural development. Therefore, the agricultural development is not a matter in which the country pebple are alone interest ed, but is a matter which every Geor gian should take a hand in. “If I can be of service in promoting this movement I shall be very glad to have you call on me.” TO ADVERTISE GEORGIA. It has long been recognized that one of the greatest needs of the s*tate is the proper advertising of its possessions to the world. The w.est has been made to flourish like a bay tree planted by crys tal waters, under a systematic plan of advertising. Georgia needs and must have just such a systematic advertising of her resources as has made the west famous and brought to her millions of population and hundreds of millions of dollars. The plan of the state chamber pro moters is to conduct an advertising campaign for Georgia to extend over several years, that will wake up the na tion to the wonderful resources and op portunities which are offered within the borders of the state. The state will be advertised in news papers. magazines, through booklets and by sending men all over the country to tell the story of the Empire State of the South. And it will be easy to get the eye of the nation upon the state, be cause there is no state in the union which has so much to offer, and which has made such remarkable strides, as j Georgia within the past few years. % MANY INDORSE MOVEMENT. It would be impossible to give even a brief outline of the hundreds of letters of indorsement which have come to the promoters of the state chamber of com merce. Here are a few, which will serve to show how widespread is the interest in the movement: “It will encourage the agricultural re generation of the state.”—Joseph D. Da vis. Albany, Ga. “A campaign such as you propose is the best way to get the state of Georgia before the public with its wonderful op portunities.”—G. L. Williams, St. Louis, Mo. “The concerted effort of resourceful men for the purpose of establishing fa cilities for analysis, research and study of all agencies for the state’s good .should be met with success.”—Marcus A. | Bier man, New Jersey state chamber of commerce. • “I congratulate the citizens of Geor gia on what I know will be a success ful movement.”—Herrendon, Geneva chamber of commerce, Geneva, N. Y. “You can count on the Waycross board of trade to assist you in every move ment.”—W. Sirman, president. “This plan under consideration should be effective and very successful.”—High G. Keegan, Fort Wayne Ind. “Morgan county chamber has evolv ed into the one flexible tool by which the true cohesive progress of the state to its God given destiny can be ac complished, the county chamber' fitted to be joined to like organization.^ in a state-wide federation.”-rG. C. Bradley, general secretary of Morgan county chamber of commerce. R. J. Nelson, a prominent operator of Chicago, wrote to Mr. Haden: “You people of Georgia have taken hold of the problem of development on the right track; there is a rich future for the state chamber of commerce.” The citizens of south Georgia have especially rallied to the call, replies by hundreds offering co-operation have poured in, and when the meeting of ebunty representatives was held on tne 23d of this July, the success of Geor gia state chamber bf comerce was as sured so far as south Georgia was concerned. THE GENERAL PLAN. 1. To induce each town of sufficient population, not already organized, to form a local trade body. Wherever it is the consensus of opinion of the local organization, then to have the people of the county, or rural sections adjacent, co-operate either through full or asso ciate membership as may be best. 2. The details of each body thus for mulated to he fixed by such body to meet its particular needs. A general plan based on experience to be submitted to each town at its first meeting, for its suggestive value. 3. In addition to the development of manufacturing, city improvement and other duties within the scope of trade organization, there are other things to be accomplished and among them the following: 4. To encourage road building of permanent kind. Friendly rivalries be tween counties as to the greatest mile age of good roads constructed in a cer tain time in ratiofi to population; challenge from one county to adjacent counties that if the one will construct new roads to its county boundary, the challenger will meet at the county line with a road of equal quality; to agi tate road building to be paid for in bonds, or by immediate taxation, or in part by both. Otherwise simulating road building. 5. To encourage development of schools; friendly rivalries as to which ebunty would have the largest number of school children in actual attendance in proportion to population; the lowest record of illiteracy after a given time; the largest number and finest character of scholarships between schools in the same county and between county and county; otherwise stimulating the schools. 6. To encourage better health condi tions; the physical examination of | school children; teach rudiments of health and its care in the schools; estab lish county and local sanitary regula tions; otherwise better the public health. 7. j To encourage diversity of crops, promote live stock and dairy industry; to induce business men of the towns to provide public hay-presses, warehouses, cold storage for perishable products; to establish creameries, to develop a ready cash market in the towns for hay, corn, butter and eggs, truck crops and like rural industries that bring in ready money throughout the year, and at the same time, fortify against the approach of the boU weevil. 8. To provide for the publication un der the supervision of the state agri cultural department, of a booklet giving all the material facts of Georgia which an incoming settler would desire to know, giving it county by county, hav ing this printed ill large quantities and in verry attractive form and furnish at cost to every local member of the or ganization. 9. To create a fund to keep the name of Georgia in the large northern and northwestern periodicals, inviting- the readers to write for literature, all in quiries to be classified according to the wishes of the inquirers and furnished to the local board of each section which is thus concerned and such local boards may take up with the inquirer direct with a view to securing him as an In vestor. or settler, or both.

HAMILTON Judge Reserves Decision in Case of Trion Man Held for Embezzlement (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) ROME, Ga., Sept. 4.—Attorneys for the state and for Alfred S. Hamilton have just argued before Judge Price Edwards at Trion the motion for a new trial in the case of Mr. Hamilton, who was convicted in Chattooga superior court of embezzlement. Judge Edwards has reserved his decision. Hamilton has been sentenced to three years in the penitentiary, but it out, on bond pend ing the result of the motion for a new trial. If it is denied, it will be carried to the supreme court. The matterfc which resulted in Hamil ton's conviction were in connection with his presidency of the Trion Manufactur ing company, which operated large cot ton mills at Trion, Ga. The mills were put into bankruptcy about two years ago with debts aggregating $1,000,000. The assets were practically an equal amount, and by careful management the creditors were paid 95 per cent.
