In preparation for the inspection, they had been ordered to clip their wool to one inch length, and they all did it. from General Harris to the cook. General Harris went in to a Macon shop to get his hair cut. but most of the men were too broke. Many of them got razors and shears and did their own trimming. Others got barbers among the enlisted men to do the job. One Macon barber signed a contract to cut the entire brigade for 5690. but he (wanted a week to do it in, and they turned him down.

Dr Eichelberger made the following points in his statement: - irut. that the law enforcement com niittee did not withdraw irom the league, but was cut Oft. Second, that Dr. Eichelberger took Thomas B Felder, formerly attorney for the league, on several tup* over the state, “but was compelled to discontinue taking him tor reasons which the churches will understand." Third, that the headquarters commit tee of the league recently considered a resolution declaring it to be for the best interests of the league to discon tinue Mr. Felder's services as attorney; that Mr. Felder was present when the ‘resolution was considered; that repotts were stated as to Mr- Felder's alleged drinking In locker clubs; that some members of the headquarters committee said they "had investigated these re ports to their satisfaction;” that reports satisfied the members that Mr. Felder bad given the Atlanta brewery and promised the Acme brewery a written statement agreeing not to prosecute them for manufacturing malt drinks containing one-half of 1 per cent of al cohol; that Mr. Felder, after the resolu tion was discussed, resigned as attorney, and the resolution was withdrawn and a substitute adopted accepting his res ignation. Fourth, that the law enforcement committee, under the order of the league creating it. is due to the league money, instead of the league being due money to the committee. Fifth, that Dr. Eichelberger under stands atveral hundred dollars was paid into Mr. Felder’s office, and he doesn’t know how it was spent. DR. EICHELBERGER’S STATEMENT. The statement of Dr. Eichelberger, just as he gave it out, follows in full. The headquarters committee of ths Anti Saloon League of Georgia met in the leagues office. Flatiron building. At lanta. yesterday and passed the follow ing resolutions* unanimously: “Atlanta, Ga., July 7, 1916 We. the members of the headquarters committee of the Anti-Saloon League of Georgia, now assembled, desire to express our appreciation of the faithful services of Dr. G. W. Eichelberger, the superintendent of the Georgia Anti-Ga looi league, during the past year, and want to assure him that we will stand bv him in his work in the future as we have in the past. We desire to say that the work of the Anti-Saloon League of Georgia was never in better condition than at present.” Dr. Eichelberger gave to The Jour nal the following statements In regard to the work for the Antl-Saloon League l as it stands today, in addition to the headquarters committee and the state board of trustees, consisting of eighty well known men. First, Legal Department—Walter Mc- Elreath. chairman. Second. Department of Law Enforce ment-Judge W H. Preston, chairman, with one member in each county. Third, Department of Legislation—J.

The headquarters committee adopted the following resolutions yesterday. • Resolved. That the Anti-Saloon l* a K«« of Georgia, puts itself on r * c ® rd ar ±!"' as it has been on record. that E tl ' e p f°' hibition laws, enacted in 1916 by the legislature of Georgia, be enforced, all of them, to the letter as far as pos- That th* headquarters com mittee of the Antl-Saloon league of Georgia declares any agreement or quasi agreement by which the brewers of Georgia, or any others, may violate any part of any one of those laws, and any agreement tacit, or otherwise, pur porting to be made with them by which any part of those laws may be violated, is hereby disclaimed, protested against, declared to be without the knowledge or consent of the headquarters committee of the Anti-Saloon league of Georgia, and If made, to have been so made with out authority.” When asked about Mr. Felder's con nections with the Antl-Saloon league. Dr. Eichelberger stated that Mr. Felder asked him last fall three times to make him a member of the headquarters com mittee. which request was silently ig nored. That Mr. Felder asked him two or three times to make him attorney for the Antl-Saloon league of Georgia, and that this request was also ignored upon the advice of friends. Last fall the superintendent asked Mr. Felder to accompany him to five or six places and speak on the temperance question. He did, until the superin tendent was compelled to cease such re quests for reasons known to the churches. Recently at a meeting of the board of the headquarters committee two resolutions were introduced! One was rescinding the order creating the law enforcement committee and dis charging the committee tn toto. The law enforcement committee did not with draw. the league cut it off. FELDER RESIGNS. The other resolution was as follows; "Whereas. It appears upon sufficient showing that the best interests of the enforcement of the prohibition laws in Georgia, as well as harmony and satis faction among prohibition workers in the state, and the interests of the Geor gia Antl-Saloon league and Its work, advise the discontinuance and cancelling of the appointment of Mr. T. B. Felder as legal counsel for the Anti-Saloon league of Georgia, which appointment was made November 27, 1915. “Resolved, that the oraer made No vember 27. 1915. by this headquarters cc.nmittee, appointing T. B. Felder as <eunsel for the Anti-Saloon League of Georgia, without reference to time, be and the same is. hereby rescinded, said appointment terminated, and his official relations with this headquarters com mittee ended." This motion was almost ready to be voted on and would have passed in a few minutes. Mr. Felder, being present, listened to statements of reasons for the introduc tion of the above resolution These were statements of reports concerning his drinking at locker clubs and other matter.

INFANT PARALYSIS EPIDEMIC SPREADS BEYOND NEW YORK I <r Cost in New York Already Has Totaled 205 Lives—No Con stant Decrease in Cases Yet, Says Health Commissioner (By Aaa*oi*ted Preaa.) NEW YORK, July 9.—Following a conference of federal, state and city health officials here today to discuss plans to check the epidemic of infan tile paralysis which already has cost 205 lives here. Dr. Haven Emerson, health commissioner, stated that while the rate of increase of patients had been lowered, there had been no con stant decrease thus far and that it could not be said the epidemic was un der control. Dr. W. C. Rucker, assist ; ant surgeon general of the federal pub lic health service, returned to Wash ington tonight to expedite the importa tion of monkeys for experimental pur. ' poses. The chief problem now confronting ; the health department, officials said, is the danger to the general public of tho , • carrier," a child or adult who may have the disease and without being 1 aware of the fact, or showing symp -1 toms of it. can communicate it to others. At the conference today, attended by Dr. C. H. Lavinder of the federal pub. ’ lie health service; Assistant Surgeon General Rucker, Dr. Hermann M. Biggs. ’ state health commissioner; Dr. William H. Park, of the city laboratory, and Dr. ’ L. L. Lumsden, of the public health service, it was decided, Commissioner Emerson said, that the government ex ’ perts will start next Monday to study exhaustively cases in New York City ’ and the surrounding territory. Six new cases were reported today in Newark, N. J., and the disease has ap ' peared in many other nearby places. The ' health department today reported eigh ‘ teen more deaths and ninety-five new ’ cases during the twenty-four hours end ing at 10 oclock this morning. There j was a decrease of four deaths compared with the day previous and an increase of eight cases. (By Associated Preu.) s CHICAGO, July B.—One new case of ! infantile paralysis was reported here to ! day with two others in a suburb. 1 were true or not, some members of the 1 league Investigated to their satisfac tion. The reports and circumstances point ed to the fact that he had given the At- i lanta brewery and promised the Acme » brewery a written statement, officially 1 signed by himself for the law enforce- • ment committee, that he would recom- ■ r.iend no prosecution if they manufac tured a malt drink containing less than one-half per cent alcohol. Dr. Eichel- ’ berger reported to the headquarters s committee the visit to Mr. Felder's of ’ flee and meeting the brewers and attor ' ney. 5 Mr. Felder was asked for a statement J after‘the above resolution had been in troduced. After speaking for some length, he asked If any charges had been formerly “filed” against him. When in- P formed there had been nothing filed, ex ' cept the resolution above named, sup -1 ported by the statements made in his presence, he resigned, and a substitute I was offered for the resolution accept ’ ing his resignation. LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMITTEE. The following order made by the ’ headquarters committee November 20, 1915, explains the financial situation: "A law enforcement department was created. W. W. White, T. B. Felder and E. C. Callaway were chosen th* com mittee on said department and to report ’ to the league. “One-fourth of all funds collected by ’ said law enforcement department shall . be paid to the Antl-Saloon league for its use, three-quarters to be used by the law enforcement committee. Any surplus will belong to the Antl-Saloon league. The above one-fourth does not ' refer to personal contributions of the members named.” Dr. J. L. White drew this order sec onded by Mr. W. S. Witham. The public can see that instead of the league using funds of the law en forcement committee, the law enforce ment committeee is, according to this ! order creating it, due the leagite money. 1 Nothing was ever paid or reported to the league by the enforcement com , mittee- Another order was made on February 9, 1916, on motion of Rev. Dr. J. L. White, and unanimously made, as fol lows: • (1) “That the law enforcement de partment of the Georgia Antl-Saloon i league be required to make a written re- > port to this headquarters committee at I its monthly meetings. . (2) “That no money be paid from the i league to the law enforcement commit tee unless authorized by this headquar ters committee.” , No financial report was ever made in i response to this order, and the league has no knowledge of the financial status . of collections and expenditures of the law enforcement committee. The super intendent of the league, being a mem ber of the law enforcement committee ■ for several months, knows that several » hundreds dollars per month was su»- . scribed to the law enforcement commit- ■ tee for Mr. Felder’s office. Some mem- > bers said they wanted to raise sixty or seventy thousand dollars this year. Mr Felder stated to the committee that he I wanted 8600 a month. Mr. Felder told the superintendent that he had been . paid 1350 in November and 1100 ad : ditional before Christmas. The commit » tee, it is reliably reported, paid into • Mr. Felder's office during February and - March 8450 and $460. One member paid > to the committee S3OO at one time to ! my knowledge. Since April we lost all » trace. What was done witn any money paid in I have no knowledge, except r what was told me. Mr. Felder admitted before the head ’ quarters committee that he did give the ■ Atlanta brewers' attorney a signed agreement not to prosecute them if their brew drink contained less than one- : half per cent alcohol, and If anybodv t else did he would recommend dismissal > of the warrants. He was asked If he 1 did not know he could not bind the An ' ti-Saloon league. 1 Concerning Mr. Brandon's note, or ' notes, his and Mr. Felder's offices are ■ In the same building. I do not know when the law enforcement committee agreed to Mr. Felder's request, but the fact that the brewers wanted an agree ment not to be prosecuted shows the law was feared. Mr. Felder admitted before the head quarters committee Wednesday night 1 that he promised to recommend a "dis missal of any warrant sworn out any where In the state against these two breweries.” '“Why, if it be not against the law?" was asked him. Dr. Eichelberger at once reported it to the league, and the faithful, brave board at once called a bait. The league has all along and does now carry on law enforcement from the superintendent's office all over the state. Dr. Eichelberger feels confident the league’s office has seized and destroyed many times .more liquor than the law enforcement committee. For this work and others money is paid to the league. MEXICO MAY SEND PEACE COMMISSION TO UNITED STATES Prominent Members of De Facto Government Discuss Plans Whereby Breach May Be Healed (By Associated Frees.) MEXICO CITY, July 9. —It is official ly declared that the American troops, who have been on Mexican soil follow ing the raid on Columbus, N. M., by bandits, will continue to retire toward the border. (By Associated Press.? MEXICO CITY, July 9.—Several prom inent leaders of the de facto govern ment met at the national ualace today and it is understood preliminary con sideration was given to the suggestion in the latest note from Secretary Lan sing that the Mexican government pro pose some practical plan through which the difficulties now existing between the two governments might be solved. While the greatest secrecy concerning the meeting was maintained, it became known that two plans were considered. One plan called for a telegraphic con ference with direct wires leading from the conference rooms in Washington and Mexico City. The other plan was that the delegates of the two govern ments meet at some isolated town in the United States, preferrably a summer resort, to discuss plans for joint ac tion. It was said that none of the confer ees expressed any objection to holding the conference in the United States, and it is believed that when a decision is finally reached, probably within the next forty-eight hours, the plan of a direct meeting will be adopted. At the foreign office it was said that abso lutely nothing had yet been decided upon. It was admitted, however, that in view of Secretary Lansing's sug gestion, some plan for a conference would be proposed very shortly. Newspapers here are enthusiastic over the new project, and are unani mous in the opinion that war between Mexico and the United States has been averted. There are no indications as to the • probable personnel of the Mexican com mission, nor have the specific points to be discussed been decided upon defi nitely. THE TBUTH ABOUT CANCER.

There’s a lady in Valdosta, Ga., who is wondering why her clothes don’t come home from the laundry, and there’s a bunch of soldier boys at Camp Harris who feel that they have been cheated out of a feed. It happened this way. Private R. M. Seville, of Company E. Second infantry, got a large package from Valdosta the other morning. The home folks had been promising to send him all kind of goodies, so he picked the package for the promise, shouldered it from the postofflee and invited all the lads in E company to come around and feast.
