SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION ON W. & A. : EXTENSION IS URGED - William Hurd Hillyer Gives Out I > Definite Details of Proposal: i to .Extend and Lease the State Road 1 William Hurd Hillyer. who heads the > syndicate which proposes to extend the t Western and Atlantic railroad from At -5 lanta to the sea at Savannah and then * to lease the road from the state at a rental sufficient to cover the interest i on the bonds and the sinking fund to re- - tire the same on maturity, gave out Sat- ■ urday more definite details of the pro ’ posal, and urged a special session of the legislature to considet the matter, Mr. Hillyer states that adequate ter minal facilities have been secured at Sa ' vannah on the Savannah river, which the , syndicate will turn over to the state as a part of the completed road, In the event th.ir proposition In accepted. These J properties, he stated, are conservatively valued at more than 11,200,000. >10.000,000 BOND GSSUE. 1 Again. Mr. Hillyer poipts out that in ’ order to finance the extension a $lO,- ’ 000,000 bond issue will have to be au thorized and that th«s must be first ■ sanctioned by the legislature in the 1 form of a constitutional amendment and then be submitted to the vote of the ’ people at a special election. 1 The only election to which the prop osition could be submitted to popular } vote this year is the election of justices 1 of the peace In December. This elec -1 tion is the only one, available for the ’ purpose owing to the fact that sixty ' days’ notice must be given after the 1 constitutional amendment has passed the 1 legislature. The election, according to 1 Mr. Hillyer. could be easily postponed by the legislature until December 30, the ' fourth Saturday in December. AMPLE FINANCIAL BACKING. ’ “Our plans have all been carefully worked out,” said Mr. Hillyer, “and we have ample financial backing. Our ! proposal will include terminal facili ties in and near Savannah conserva tively valued at more than $1,200,000. In this way the state road would not ' only be extended to deep water, but ’ would have the best possible terminals at that point. “As an evidence of good faith we are prepared to submit our bid as soon as the state is ready to consider bids and to attach thereto a certified check for such amount as the state may deem reasonable. We are further prepared, tn case our bid is accepted, to furnish such additional security as the state may reasonably require either in cash or in United States government or state of Georgia bonds to insure the faith ful performance of our undertakings. “We believe.” Mr. Hillyer contin ued. “that we have the most feasible and most logical plan for preserving the integrity of the state road that could possibly be proposed. The ad vantages of this route are obvious, as It is not only the shortest but it leads to Georgia’s largest seaport city. We welcome other bidders, however, and while we believe our bid will be accepted, what we are now after is chiefly to see the state put in a posi tion to trade on an extension proposal, either with us or with some other re sponsible interests. •'lt has already been pointed out that in order to finance the extension a $10,000,000 bond i‘ssue will have to be authorized and this must first be sanctioned by the legislature in the form of a constitutional amendment and then submit a vote of the people at a general election. The next general election after the one to be held No i vember 7 Is the election of justices of the peace in December. This election is the only one that would be available for such purpose owing to the fact that sixty days' notice must be given after the constitutional amendment has pass ed the legislature. The first Saturday in December is the usual time for such election, but if the legislature were called tn extra session for the purpose of considering these matters they could i easily postpone this election to the fourth Saturday, which would be De ' cember 30, and would give ample time. FOR EXTRA SESSION. “In other words, if the state wants to j ove the Western and Atlantic road by j i utting itself in a trading position it i can do so. The governor can call the I extra session Immediately. This session ran convene about the first of October, passing the necessary legislation Includ ing a postponement of the December” election, and adjourning by October 15. Notice of the constitutional amendment could then be posted cn October 14, and ester runniing sixty days there would still be nearly two weeks to spare be fore the postponed date of the general election on December SO. “If there was ever an emergency call ing for a special session of the legisla- . ture,” Mr. Hillyer continued, ' this is cer tainly one at the present moment. Un i less the special session is called and the , ':equislte legislation is enacted so as to place this financial machinery at the l<!:sposal of the Western and Atlantic ' leasing commission, the state can do ; nothing in this direction until the next ( general election in November, 1918. By 1 t then the time before the expiration of , [' the lease might be too short to admit of an advantageous trade and the state j ! will be confronted by the old problem . of having only one bidder for the West ern and Atlantic railroad—namely the ‘ piesent lessee. Prompt action is neces sary, otherwise the Western and Atlantic ’ railroad will never be extended, but on . the contrary the state's property will be in danger of being bottled up and de stroyed.” Savannah Would Foot Big Bill to Get W. & A.

CORPORAL KIFFEN ROCK j WELL, of Atlanta, member of the I American division of the French aviation corps, who met death Sat- I urday in an air battle with Ger ; man airmen in France. KIFFEN ROCKWELL ' IS KILLED IN AIR BATTLE IN FRANCE f , ———— Atlanta Boy With American Division of French Aviation Corps Had Won High Honor for His Courage Kiffen Rockwell Is dead. The Atlanta boy whose exploits as an aviator with the flying corps of the French foreign leg'ion won him renown the world over, was killed in action Sat urday morning. News of iiis death was contained in the following Associated Press dispatch received by The Journal last night: "Winston-Salem, N. C-, Sept. 23.—Kif fen Yates Rockwell, formerly of Ashe ville and Atlanta, who had served in the French aero corps with distinction dur ing the long months of fighting around Verdun, was killed in action this morn ing. Announcement of his death was made by the French government in a cablegram received today by his mother, Mrs. L. A. RockwelL of this city. "The message announcing the aviat or’s death came from a friend of the family in Paris and read as follows: “Kiffen killed this morning In aerial battle in Alsace.” Young Rockwell served at Verdun during the long months of fighting there and succeeded in bringing down four German aeroplanes unassisted. For this feat he recently received a war cross and military medal from the hands of General Joffre, who referred to him as “a bold and courageous pilot.” He had been mentioned frequently for bravery in official reports. “Mrs. Rockwell received a letter from her son only a few hours before the ca blegram came telling her of his death. In the letter he stated that he had been granted a leave of absence of eight days and had spent it in Paris with his brother, Paul Rockwell, who had been severely wounded earlier in the war and discharged from the French army. On the day that the letter was mailed in Paris, Rockwell left for the front. He wrote that he had been transferred from Verdun to a more active sector. “When the war began Kiffen Rockwell was connected with an advertising agency in Atlanta. With his brother, Paul, who was a reporter on several At lanta papers, he went to France. They enlisted in the foreign legion and began service on September 30, 1914. Paul later was wounded, but Kiffen remained with the legion until it was wiped out after seven months of fighting in the trenclies. He then asked for a trans fer to the aero corps and began train ing. In the meantime his brother had decided to remain in Paris and he began as a special correspondent there for several American newspapers, which he now is serving. “Kiffen Rockwell was born on Sep tember 20, 1892, at Newport, Tenn. His father was a Baptist minister of North Carolina. His mother was Miss Lula Ayers, a member of a prominent South Carolina family. Rockwell’s father died when the boy was two years old, and later Mrs. Rockwell moved with her two sons to Asheville, N. C., where they lived for many years. Kiffen was a graduate of Washington and Lee uni versity and also attended the Virginia Military institute for a time.” It was only last Sunday that The Journal printed a letter from Kiffen Rockwell to his friend and former em ployer, St. Elmo Massengale, head of the Massengale Advertising Agency, of At lanta. In this letter young Rockwell laid his success as an aviator to “fuck,” the very luck which deserted him in the end. CALLED HIMSELF LUCKY. Writing under date of August 23 from Paris, where he was on furlough, he said: “I have worked very hard in the avia tion corps this summer and have had a great number of air fights in which I have so far been very lucky. I am spend ing this week in Paris on permission, and am enjoying it very much, as Paris Is the liveliest now since the beginning of the war.” That letter is the last word that was received in Atlanta from Kiffen Rock well. He must have returned to the front soon afterward and the fate which was waiting for him in the sinister skies. Kiffen Rockwell’s death brings the deepest sorrow to his friends in At lanta. He and his brother, Paul Rock well, came to this city from Asheville about three years ago. Paul was a re porter on a local newspaper, Kiffen worked for some time for the Massen gale agency. They were both brilliant boys and made many friends. Being of French extraction, Paul and I Kiffen decided to enlist with the French I arms soon after war broke out. Paul went wtih the infantry and saw hard ! service In the trenches along the French I front before he was wounded and sent to ' a Paris hospital. Kiffen broke into the war game bril liantly. In the aviation corps with him were many other Americans, including Thaw, of Pittsburg, a relative of Harry K. Thaw; but none of these eclipsed the southern boy in daring and reckless ex ploits. His name has been mentioned time and again in Associated Press | dispatches from Paris as bringing down j many German aviators. He was promot ed to a corporal and received the war decoration from the French government. Atlanta—and in fact, the entire nation— watched his career with interest, and its tragic termination will be learned with ■ the most heart-felt grief. Kiffen Rockwell is the second Atlanta boy to n.eet death under a foreign flag 1 in the war. Meredith Gray, of Atlanta, I was recently killed In action. He was with the British army is FPA’no*. ZEPPELIN IS BROUGHT DOWN IN FUMES IN AIR RAID OVER LONDON Second Airship Reported to I Have Fallen on Coast. Brit ish Register More Gains North of Somme WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—Another! attempt by German airships to attack London has resulted in the loss of at least one raider. A second airship is reported to have fallen on the coast of Essex, but the official statement from London says the report is not confirmed. The raider brought to grief fell in flames in the southern part of the coun ty of Essex and probably not far front London. This is the second attempted raid on London within three weeks. In the previous raid on the night of September 2-3 a Zeppelin was brought down near Enfield, on the outskirts of London. The official report mentions no casualties or damage caused by the raiders, the number of whom is not stated. British forces north of the Somme in France continue to make progress to ward Bapaume. Following up their suc cess Friday in advancing along a mile front between Flers and Martinpuich the .roops of General Haig have gained ground east of Courcelette on the other side of the Pozieres-Bapaume road from Martinpuich. GERMANS BEATEN OFF. A strongly fortified German trench system on a front of half a mile east of Courcelette and in the direction of Sars, on the Pozieres-Bapaume road, was carried by the British. The troops of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria attempted to penetrate the British line near the Mouquet farm between Cour celette and Thiepval, but were beaten off, London says. Berlin denies the British were successful in the attack east of Courcelette. The repulse of a French attack on the Combles-Rancourt line is recorded by Berlin. The French, Paris says, continue their tactics of harassing the garrison defending the German salient around Combles. Raids by French pa trols near the edge of the town result ed in the capture of some prisoners. The battle of Dobrudja hae broken out anew. Berlin reports that the Russians and Rumanians took the offensive, but failed to make headway. One attack was made on the right wing of the forces, of the central powers southwest of Toprai Sari and the other was on the left wing near the Danube. An unconfirmed report byway of Rome says that Field Marshal von Macken sen continues to retreat and that the fortress of Silistria has been abandon ed by his troops. RUMANIANS ATTACKING. Rumanian attacks in Transylvania continue, and Berlin reports the repulse of two Rumanian divisions on both sides of Hermannstadt. The Austro- Gertrans also have recaptured Vulcan pass from the Russians. There has been little activity on the eastern front and in the Carpathians. Petrograd records the repulse of in fantry assaults. after gas attacks, southwest of Lake Narocz, and Berlin reports that Russian attacks near Kory nltza, in Volhynia, failed. The tide in Macedonia appears to have turned in favor of the German-Bulga rian forces. The Bulgarians have taken entente trenches between Florina and Lake Presba and have repulsed attacks in the Vardar region. On the Belasica Planina, between the Struma and Strumnitza rivers, the entente forces,' according to Berlin, have evacuated the territory southward to Krusa-Balkan, directly behind the Struma. Austrian attacks in the Carso region on the lower Isonzo were checked by the Italians, Rome reports. Italian trenches on hill 208, south of Novavas. were penetrated, but the attackers were driven out later. Austrian attempts against hill 144, northeast of Monfal cone, also were repulsed. Mill Boiler Explodes; Boy Seriously Injured (Special Dispatch to The Journal.

OORSEYPAPER SMS [Constitution Editorial Indi cates Tom Watson's Ultima tum to Govrenor-Elect Will Not Be Heeded The state Democratic convention at Macon next Tuesday will disregard the peremptory demands of Tom Watson and pass resolutions indorsing Presi dent Wilson and the Democratic admin istration. This assumption is based upon an edi torial declaration published in Friday’s Atlanta Constitution, of which newspa per Albert Howell, the law partner of Hugh M. Dorsey and guiding genius of the Dorsey gubernatorial campaign, is president and his brother, Clark Howell, national Democratic committeeman from Georgia is the editor. In its leading editorial Friday morn ing the Constitution says: “The Macon convention is going to in dorse Wilson, of course. It couldn't do anything else.” This is acepted as an authoritative ut terance and as expressing the intentions of those who will be in charge of the Macon convention. It is also accepted as an official reply to Watson's peremp tory demand that the convention must not indorse President Wilson. ATTITUDE OF WATSON. Whether Watson will back down or seek to foment a fight in the convention remains to be seen. It is not consider ed possible that any one, no matter how adroit and skillful, can so word a reso lution that it will satisfy the Demo crats who demand an indorsement of President Wilson and at the same time satisfy Mr. Watson, who says no in dorsement of any kind will be approved by him. Those familiar with the Watsonian mind' and policies believe that if the con vention adopts any kind *of commenda tory resolutions Watson will break with Mr. Dorsey, whom he has personally put on notice that he will not tolerate any sort of indorsement of President Wilson by the Macon convention. While Mr. Dorsey, as the Democratic party’s chosen nominee for governor, will have the final say on all matters to be handled By the convention, it is conceded that Albert Howell will be the director-general of that affair, and it is expected that Mr. Dorsey will defer to his advice and counsel. In which event he will, of necessity, be compelled to ignore the demand of Watson.

Read about one prediction which saved $15,000,000 worth of property and many human lives. About another forecast, covering a small’section, which saved SIOO,OOO worth of property in a few hours. About the thermometer which will measure the heat of a candle 5 miles away. About the tiny pen suspended by a woman’s hair, which registers the minutest atmospheric changes. The chapter on the Weather Bureau, like the entire book, is as entertaining as a novel, yet is absolutely accurate in its facts. Every branch of your Government is packed with interest for the man with the eye to see it. Mr. Haskin has the eye, and what is better, the ability to write as he sees. You haven’t read a book in a year, not even barring “best sellers,” that held your interest as this book will. raffia ß y a special arrangement with the author k/llCl* o f this great book, Mr. Frederic J.
