THE ATLANTA SEMI- WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., Tuesday, December 23, 1913. HARRIS, GENSRS HEAD, ISSUES ANNUAL REPORT Contemplates Many Improve ments, Especially in Distrib uting Cotton Information (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 22.—Wil liam J. Harris, of Georgia, director of the census office, has issued his first annual report, for the fiscal year end ed June 30, 1913. Mr. Harris did not assume the duties of the office until July 1, so that the report which he has transmitted to Commerce Secretary Redfield deals entirly with the operation of the census bureau under the direc tion cf his predecessor, E. Dana Du rant, of Michigan. After discussing the financial aspect of the census bureau, with reference to expenditures contracted under former Director Durant, Mr. Harris discusses interestingly some of the improvements he contemplates making in the service during the current fiscal year. It is his purpose to broaden the field relat ing to agricultural statistics, and, In this connection, he will gather-lots of valuable data concerning the cotton crop of the south. With reference to this, Director Harris says: GINNING REPORTS. ‘ During the fiscal year beginninfg July 1, 1913, there will be issued, ten reports showing the quantity of cotton ginned up to specified dates during the ginning season: twelve—one for each month—showing the quantity of cotton consumed, stocks of cotton hand, and number of active spindles; three giving statistics of cotton seed crushed and linters obtained; one summarizing the statistics for the production of cotton as reported by the ginners; and one summarizing the statistics for the con sumption of cotton, stocks on hand, and spindles. These 27 reports will consti tute a complete statistical presentation of the production and consumption of cotton in the United States during the year. “The bureau has made arrangements for the more frequent publication of county statistics of cotton ginned. It had been the practice to publish county figures only for December 13 of each year and at the end of the season, the state totals alone being given at other times. There was, however, a great de mand for information as to the quan tity of cotton ginned in the individual counties up to the date of each gfnnmg report, and the census bureau, accord ingly, gave the local special agents permission to plblish this information in the county newspapers jtast as soon as their reports could be received at the office in Washington and the data verified. The local papers throughout tne southern states have been greatly pleased by this action, and many of them have written the bureau express ing their appreciation of it. Requests have been, made of ginners for sugges tions in regard to improving the meth od of collecting and publishing statis tics of the quantity of cotton ginned, and almost invariably the replies have indicated complete satisfaction with the way in which the work is now being doe. MORE INFORMATION. “The bureau of the census has also arranged for an additional report on cotton seed and linters, which Will show the quantity of seed crushed and linters obtained frqm the crop prior to December 1 of each year. Heretofer there have been only two reports is sued annually on this important sub ject, one showing the quantity of seed crushed prior to January 1, and the other, published at the end of the crushing season, showing statistics of the total quantity treated; and prior to January, 1913, only one euch report, is sued at the end of the cotton season, had been made annually.” PERPETUATE AMERICAN HISTORY IN STATUARY ’ (By Associated Press.) PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.—A row of statuary, representing the history of America from its discovery by Colum bus until the present day, will soon be placed along the east bank of the Schuylkill river in Fairmount Park. This symbolic representation of the nation’s history was made possible by a pro vision in the will of Mrs. J. Bunford Samuel, who left $500,000 for the work. The Fairmount Art association an nounced yesterday it had accepted the gift and that arrangements with the park commission had been made to per mit the erection of statues.

Bids submitted today were for supply ship No. 1 and transport No. 1, both of which were specially planned by the general board of the navy to meet new conditions and are the first of their types. The transport will be 460 feet long, 61 feet beam and 20 feet draft with a speed of 14 knots. She must accommo date 100 officers, 2,000 enlisted men and 32' horses. Large cargo holds will pro vide transportation for all of the mili tary supplies needed for the equipment of the marines, when they are called on to establish an advance base to af ford a foothold for military operations in a foreign country in case .of war. The transport will be. fitted to burn either oil or coal and will carry eight five-inch guns. The supply will be in effect a gigantic “bum boat,” as she is designed to ac company a fleet of eight battleships and supply them v with fuel oil by pumps from her own tanks. This vesesl will be 400 feet long, 55 feet beam and 21 feet draft and can burij either coal or oil. She also will carry four five-inch guns, a substantial protection against anything less than an armored vessel. MONA LISA WILL TRAVEL BEFORE HER RETURN HOME ROME.

AVIATOR’S DREAMS STILL FAR FROM REALIZATION NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—The trans formation of a universal stabilizer, the dream' of many aviators, is still far from accomplishment, according to Or ville Wright, who spoke last night at a reception given in his honor by the Aeronautical society. Mr. Wright’s statement, while encour aging, holds out no hopes of a perfect stabilizer in the near future. He said: "It is premature to talk at present about a stabilizer. We have worked for years to take the work of managing the machine out of the hands of man and let the operator attend to the steer ing alone. We think we have a device which will accomplish this. It will take care of the collateral and. fore and aft planes, k but it still has a few mechanical troubled to overcome."

Ben- net, of Albany, will, it is said, be ap pointed by Governor Slaton to succeed him on the appellate court. Neither Judge Pottle 1 nor Governor Slaton have made any public announce ment of the former’s intention to leave the court of appeals and only a very few Individuals have been apprised of the fact. Governor Slaton, is said to have had under consideration for Judge Pottle's successor S. S. Bennet, of Albany, Pey ton Wade, of Dublin, and Warren Grice, of Hawkinsville. Those who are in on the secret, however, are of the opinion that the place has been tendered to Mr. Bennet or very soon will be. There have been humors for several months that Judge Pottle intended to resign, but upon each occasion when ne was asked concerning these rumors he has replied by saying that he had the matter under consideration but had not reached any definite decision. A recent rumor had it that Judge Pottle would resign on January 1, but from reliable authority comes the infor mation that he will probably file his resignation with the governor early in January to become effective February 1. HAS SERVED THREE YEARS. Judge Pottle was engaged in the prac tice of law at Blakely when he was appointed to the court of appeals about three years ago. Governor Slaton was then acting governor and W'hen Judge Arthur G. Powell resigned from the ap pellate bench he named Judge Pottle to succeed him.

Judge Pottle’s successor will be given an appointment by Governor Slaton only until the vot ers have an opportunity to ratify same at the next succeeding general elec tion. PREPARE WHITE MAN FOR OCCUPYING TROPICS WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Postmaster white man for his coming occupation ,of the tropics by teaching him how to live there, is the substance of a suggestion made to the Pan-American union by Prof. Nathan A. Cobb, of the department of agriculture. The estab lishment on the Panama canal zone of an international bureau of research is the recommendation he makes. He would have this bureau make a careful scien tific study of how the white man will have to adapt himself to conditions, food, climate, etc., that he may inhabit tropics and work there without injury to his health. Because of the wonderful possibili ties of production in the tropics, Prof. Cobb says he has no doubt the white man must go in and live there and make the yields much greater than they are. He holds proper study will give the information needed to make the tropics not only a possibility but a happy and healthful home for the white man. MODERN WOODMEN GIVE UP FIGHT FOR INCREASE ROCK ISLAND. Ill., Dec. 22.—An nouncement was made today by the ex ecutive council of the Modern Wood men of America that the council through its administrative officers had abandoned its fight for increased in surance rates and that the question would not be proposed at the national head camp meeting to be held in June at Toledo, unless it originated from the membership.

Neither is his “I am glad I am an American,” said mamma, who was Miss Langhorne, who Mrs. Astor, whan she reached the Unit- many years ago was noted as one of e< * States the other day. “Bill is such an American that he is just crazy to play baseball.” Mrs. Astor is the wife of young Wal dorf Astor, member of parliament, and son of William Waldorf Astor, who many years ago expatriated himself. He was the first of the wealthy expatriates, and he has been treated on that basis by the American press ever since. But that is not the spirit of the Langhornes, who were real Virginians. So the for mer Miss Langhorne has brought up her son to believe that the United States is home, despite the fact that he wafc born in England and did not see American soil till he was six years old.

LONDON, Dec. 22.—The British press generally expressed regret today at the cabinet’s decision not to provide an offi cial British pavilion at the Panama-Pa cific exposition. The Unionist Evening Standard says: “The question of expense should not have stood in the way of assisting in the celebration of the completion of a great commercial enterprise by a friendly power.” The Westminster Gazette says: “We should be sorry for* the .

FOREIGN POTATOES MAY BE BARRED FROM PORTS Federal Board Fears Diseased Stock May Cause Trouble If Admitted WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Whether common Irish potatoes from Canada, Newfoundland, Great Britain, Ireland and Continental Europe should be barred from the United States because of the danger of importation of dan gerous plant diseases, or should be ad mitted under the same restrictions as apply to nursery stock, was the subject of a hearing today before the federal horticultural board. T. P. Gill, secretary of agriculture for Ireland; Dr. H. T. Gussow, an ex pert of the Canadian department of ag riculture, and G. F. Molloran, deputy minister of agriculture of Canada, were among those who spoke in favor of the admission of foreign potatoes. Representations have been made to the American department of agricul ture that in view of the short domes tic potato crop, the exclusion of for eign potatoes would go far toward rais ing prices in the United States. Secretary Houston said the question was not the lifting of an embargo against potatoes, but whether a quar antine should be absolute or adminis tered so to admit entry of potatoes properly passed upon by government experts. Senators and representatives pro tested against any policy whereby dis eased potatoes might get into the coun try. A few members, however, urged that it would be wise to permit the en try of foreign potatoes in the hope of reducing high prices of food. Dr. Gussow declared that federal ex perts had not made a sufficient inves tigation of the Canadian potato crop upon which to base a recommendation that the whole crop should be barred because of disease. He said American agents had gone into Canada to inves tigate potato disease conditions with out co-operating with him. CARDINAL RAMP0LLA PAID FINAL TRIBUTE AT ROME (By Associated Press.)
