ed with trades unions m greater New
Tortt and Westchester county, would be
gin on Wednesday morning was made by
Hugh Frayne, state orsanlzer for the
American Federation of Labor, at the
close late today ofr •» conference of
about sixty union leaders.
NEW YORK. oept. 22.—Repeated
tnreats of a great general strike to help
tn* striking street car employes caused
all branches of the city government
charged with enforcing the laws to pre
pare today for outbreaxs ot mob vio
lence. Mayor Mitchel’s notice that he
stood ready to invoke all the civil and
military power at nts command to sup
press disorder was followed by greatei
police activity and a warning that per
sons convicted of engaging in strike
riots would receive heavy punishment.
The police department told the trac
tton companies that they could re-es’ab
bsh night service as soon as they were
ready under assurance of adequate pro
tection Thus far <.700 policemen have
been disposed at strategic points. This
police guard includes a patrol of tlfty
automobiles and 100 motorcyclists
along the most exposed car routes.
Trade union leaders, representing
about 700.000 workers, will meet this
afternoon to decide whether to issue a
tall for a general strike. Some of the
labor leaders said such a strike, if or
dered. would begin Monday or Tuesday.
The call, they said,' would be based
on the ground that organized wage
earners should not ride in cars manned
by strike-breakers.
''ros» town surface lines where cars
ran last night were not molested. The
lined were under heavy police guard.
The eary morning bombardments of
elevated trains were resumed however,
strike sympathizers lurking on roof
tops throwing bricks and bottles which ,
shattered car windows. Several pas
sengers were injured in sixteen attacks
reported by the police.

UNEQUILLEO. HJMLIN SAYS
Former Reserve Board Head
Says Wealth Gained $40,-
000,000,000 in Two Years
•By Associated Pteaa. I
NEW YORK. Sept. 22.—American
business men. aided by the federal re
serve bank system, will be able success-:
fully to withstand the shock of Euro-1
pean eompet.tion after the war. in the
opinion of Charles Hamlin, former gov
ernor. of the federal reserve board. His
views were expressed at the annual din-,
ner of the Institute of Accountants last
night. He said in part:
“I estimate that the wealth of the
Ulnted States baa increased during the
last two years by 240.000,000.000. Bank
deposits have increased between $0,000.-;
000.000 and $7,000,000,000 and the stock
of gold has increased more than $700.-
000.000. Since the first of the year the
importations of gold have amounted to
s<<o,ooo,ooo.
"Nc nation in the world has ever en->
joyed the prosperity that this country
now enjoys.” *
Mr. Hamlin said he felt that this
time was one in which American busi
ness men ought to be conservative in
order to prepare for the inevitable re
action. Commending rhe federal reserve
system he said that in the future no
business man who deserves credit will
fall to get it. “Never again will this
country s*e a collapse of credit such
as we have often seen in the past.” he
declared.
• “Never again will there be a currency
famine such as we experienced in 1907.
I am convlnceo, from a careful review
of the situation that the great prosper
ity of today' m only a forerunner of the
greater trosperity of the future.”

'EVERYTHING IT FUR TO
BE READY FOR OPENING
. i Race Track Only One in
America Built Around
a Lake
The work at Lakewood w ill be finished
for the Southeastern fair opening, Oc
tober 14.
A few visitors to the grounds recent
ly expressed the belief that the Grand
Circuit race track; the model’ cottage
and some of the paving could not be
completed on time. Everyone officially
connected with the fair—those who know
what's oing on—are sure that ev
ery visitor will find everything complet
ed by the first day.
Fulton county commissioners, under
whose direction the race track is being
built, have assured Ivan T. Allen, presi
dent of the association, this will be com
pleted ten days before the opening. The
track is a magnificent piece of work. It
will be a memorial to W. Tom Winn,
Oscar Mills. T. .1. Hightower, S. B. Tur
man and Dr. W. L. Gilbert, the commis
sioners who undertook the work at a
saving to the fair association of $50,000.
It is said by racing officials to be the
most unique track ip the world. These
same officials declared it .would be one
of the fastest, equalling any in Ken
tucky or any other great racing center.
It is a curiosity, in that it is probably
the only track in America built around
a lake and undoubtedly the only one
built among hills. Fulton county of
ficials have rendered the county and
city a service in accomplishing this feat
that will be beneficial for years to come.
The building of this race track neces
sitated the erection of five additional
race horse barns of twenty stalls each,
approved by the Grand Circuit. These
have been finished and are ready to
house the aristocrats of the turf. They
are equipped with accommodation for
attendants who will remain with their
horses night and day.
UNDERGROUND WORK.
Much of the work that has been going
on at the fair grounds for the pasti
twelve months has not been entirely vis-1
ible. Water, lights and drainage had to I
be supplied. Much of this work was un
der ground. The fair officials directed
these improvements without aid from
the city or county. The improvements
necessitated a large expense and some
what reduced the capital of the associa
tion. But it was the determination of
the executive council to have every
building, And every pavilion equipped
with modern conveniences. They have [
done it. Gravel walks have also been
laid to every part of the grounds.
The cattle pavilion, 180 by 300 feet,
is ready. The swine pavilion, 182 by
200 feet, with 560 pens, is finished. The
former has 576 stalls. Both are built
I upon the most modern lines and have
been approved by the national cattle
and swine associations. They are sit
uated in a beautiful grove of trees op-|
posite the Liberal Arts and Agricultural)
buildings. The horse pavilion, 102 feet I
by 170 feet, containing 96 stalls, is
ready. It will be used for the horse,
mule and jack exhibits and auction
sales.- It is situated near the live stock
' division.
The street railway company has a
' force of 200 men building the double
track to the grounds. An extra siding
I is being built on two sides of the proper
ty. Assurances have been given the fair
officials that this work will be complet
' ed well in advance of the opening. With
I the loop for storage of cars near the
' entrance facilities will be furnished for
I handling from 5,000 to 7,000 people an
I hour.
The county has already begun work
on paving the approaches to the grounds
, from the gate to Lakewood avenue. It
will also surface the fair park drive
from Lakewood avenue to the gates.
This work will be finished in time for
opening.
IN FOR LIFE, NEGRO
GOES TO COURT IN
ANOTHER’S PLACE
I I _
Walter Hill No, 1 Pleads Guilty
for Walter Hill No, 2 and
Brings Him Back Two-Year
Sentence
1 1 —_—
In keeping with the passion for “dual
• roles" that are the fad in movies nowa
days. there's a negro, or, in fact, two
negroes, at the Fulton county Tower
who are named Walter Hill.
Both negroes rejoice in the name of
Walter, both share equally in the name
of Hill. Both are of medium height,
1 beth are men of weight, but there the
' resemblance ceases.
Alas! the Walter Hill that plays the
role of villain in this story is appeal
-1 Inga life sentence for murder. The
1 other is only slightly discomforted l-y a
measly two-year sentence at-hard labor,
for burglary.
The other day two-year Walter was
tcld by authorities to make his toilet and
’ get ready. Walter. Hill was going to
face Judge Hill on the charge of bur
glary, along with two other Afro-Amen
• can defendants.
Life-long Walter decided that he
should be the one to receive the sen
tence for burglary. He made an agree
ment that he would substitute for two
year Walter, thinking that It would be
pleasant to take a trip up town, and be
sides. he afterwards said, he might effect
an escape on the way.
Walter will always remember last •
W ednesday as a perfect day. He went up I
to the court house, saw the crowds,
w inked at two or three old cronies pres
ent on the other side of the rail, and
v. hen his case (or the other Walter's
easel was called, he stood before the
tribunal and pleaded guilty to the charge
of burglary. After a few more things
were said about the crime that Walter
had not done, he stood up and took a
two-year sentence.
Walter, who was already sentenced to
I rve the rest of his life in jail, cared
rot a straw about two years more.
He was unable to find an opportunity
it escape on the way back to the Tower.
When he gor there, be informed his col
league that he had brought a two-year
sentence. He also told him that in the
merest of his client, as it were, he had
seen fit to plead guilty.
The authorities at the jail were in
formed by two-year Walter of his mis
fertune. The other Walter had a very
"t.-i.-.’.nt day.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1916.
Emory University, New
$500,000 Institution, Will
Open Formally Wednesday
Opening Will Chronicle New
Epoch in Educational His
tory of South—Description
of Buildings
Just off the North Decatur road, five
miles from Atlanta, a half-million-dollar
university has “grown up” m the last
eight months.
It is the new Emory university which
will be opened next Wednesday morn
ing with tormal ceremonies to be pre
sided over by Bishop Warren A. Can
dler, chancellor of the university. Its
opening will chronicle a new epoch in
the south s educational history, lot* Em
ory is expected to grow into one of the
nation's leading universities.
A more beautiful spot for a university
hardly could be found. The campus lies
within a picturesque grove of trees
broken here and there by gullies and
brooks. Its natural beauty is almost
incomparable.
Four massive buildings, constfucted
along the Mosaic style, await the stu
dents. These buildings present an ex
terior of Georgia marble, mostly white
with a tinge of pink and gray to make
It' distinctive. The buildings are of
steel and concrete construction. The
windows are of heavy plate glass.
The first of the buildings approached
from the southwestern entrance to the
groudns is the L. Q. C. Lamar law
school building. This building is named
in honor of the late L. Q. C. Lamar, a
native Georgian, who later moved to
Mississippi and served that state in the
United States senate. The other build
ings are the Candler school of theology;
the Sam C. Dobbs hall, to be used as a
dormitory, and the George Winship
hall, another dormitory. Two buildings
of the medical department of the school
will be constructed within the next year.
The medical school will be conducted, as
at present, from the downtown quarters
of the Atlanta Medical college.
111. 11. KNDTT WINS COURT
FIGHT FOR NOMINATION
Wins Democratic Nomination
for Governor of Florida—
Catts Runs Independently
(By Associated Frets.)
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Sept. 22.—1 n
compliance with an order from the
state supreme court, the state canvass,
ing board, comprising the secretary of
state, as chairman, attorney general,
and state treasurer, met this morning
and canvassed the amended returns for
governor, declaring W. V. Knott the
nominee over Sidney J. Catts, the nom
inee by the first count following the
June 6 Democratic primary. Knott’s
lead over Catts after the vote in many
precincts in twenty or more counties
had been recounted by order of the
court on petition by Knott, was only 21
votes.
Sidney J. Catts, who relinquished the
certificate of nomination for governor
with today's action of the state can
vassing board, will immediately seek to
have the Alachua county canvassing
board include In Its returns for gov
ernor the Lacress precinct, which gave
Catts a majority of 69 votes. This pre
cinct was not counted for governor be
cause the election officials of the pre
cinct failed to sign the returns. The
vote for al] other offies In the precinct,
howeevr, was counted. It Is alleged.
Should the court direct that the vote
in this precinct be certified to, Catts
will demand that the state board recon
vene and award him the certificate of
nomination again. He would then have
a lead of 38 votes. The contestants
have been fifteen more days In which
to fight in the courts. Whoever has
the certificate on October 6 will be the
nominee of the party.
In a statement following the notifi
cation of his nomination, W. V. Knott
declared that during the next seven
weeks he would make an active cam
paign for governor. He stated that he
had been unable to do so heretofore be
cause he did not hold the certificate of
nomination. It will be the first time
in many years thata Democratic nom
inee for governor will have to make a
campaign preceding the general elec
tion.
Sidney J. Catts has announced that
he will be a candidate regardless of
whether or not he holds the Democratic
certificate of nomination. He has re
ceived the endorsement of the prohibi
tion committee and will run as the
nominee of the prohibitionists If unable
to secure again the certificate which
was taken from him this morning: He
has been campaigning the state for two
months.
SOLDIERS WHO DESIRE
MAY STAY ON BORDER
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Sept. 22.—The
request of 300 members of the Second
New York Infantry to remain on border
duty after they had been ordered home
resulted today In an annnouncement by
General Funston that guardsmen who
wished to stay could transfer to other
regiments.
Three Pennsylvania regiments soon
will be released by the arrival of a simi
lar number of North Carolina regi
ments.
The Second New York began leavlnv

of the south. Writ* for particulars: all correspondence confidential. Price, 12.00 per Jar.
Address Mary Kraunoa Co., bqpU 104 Ji. Pryor st., Atlanta, Ga.
The Sam C. Dobbs hall contains 150
rooms and a large living room or "lob
by,” as the students will probably refer
to it. This building is named in honor
of Sam C. Dobbs, of Atlanta, who do
nated the amount for its construction.
The law building has on the first floor
a mock court room, a law library, and
executive offices. On the second floor
there are four large class rooms and
several private offices for members of
the faculty.
The school of theology has a large
chapel, a lecture room and a library on
the first floor with four big class rooms
on the second floor and several private
offices for the faculty.
The hallways of the buildings will
be constructed of marble. Quartered oak
will be used in the finish to the floors
and woodwork.
Atlanta may feel justly proud of
Emory university, for it was through
the Atlanta spirit that this city was se
lected as the site. At the conference ot
the Methodist Episcopal church, south,
held at Oklahoma City in November of
1914, it was decided to build two uni
versities. One was to be east of the
Mississippi river and the other west of
the river. Rivalry among southeastern
cities was intense and Birmingham, espe
cially, made a hard fight. The public
spiritedness of Atlanta citizens, and
their liberal donations won for this
city the honor.
Emory college at Oxford, Ga.. of which
the new Emory university is a part, is
about seventy-five years old. It was
named in honor of Bishop Emory, of
Baltimore, a close friend of Bishop An
drew. of North Carolina, perhaps the
most noted bishop of the MJthodtst
church, south.
Bishop Emory met a tragic death, sev
eral years before the outbreak of the
war between the states, when he wts
thrown from a carriage. At this time,
the new college which is now named
Emory college had just been proposed.
Bishop Andrew suggested it be namtd
in honor of Bishop Emory. The Metho
dist conference adopted his suggestion.
HO ACCURATE REPORTS
ON ACTIVITY OF IIILLI
I
General Bell's Account of the
Raid Believed Based on
Border Rumors
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Secretary
Baker let it be known today that the
war department was not disposed to ac
cept as accurate the report of Villa’s
raid on Chihuahua City last Saturday
transmitted by Brigadier General Bell
yesterday on the strength of information
that had reached him in El Paso.
“We have no military information as
to renewed Villista activities.” Mr. Bak
er said, indicating that it was assumed
that General Bell’s account was based
upon rumors and reports current in
border towns, and no facts obtained
through any channels in Mexico. He
declined to discess in any way what ef
fect the reappearance of Villa, if It
were confirmed, might have on the
movements of American trops in Mex
ico.
So far as is known the war depart
ment has made no effort to learn from
General Bell the sources of his Informa
tion. General Funston Is expected to
transmit promptly without additional in
structions any authentic news of activi
ties of the bandits which may reach
him and upon which any change in plan
involving General Pershing's expedition
might be founded.
Two British Subjects
Killed by Villa Bandits
GALVESTON, Tex., Sept. 22.—Two
British subjects were taken from their
home and shot and thirty-six of a party
of thirty-eight Carranza soldiers were
killed in a raid September 16 on an
Aquila Oil tamp near Tuxpam by ban
dits calling themselves Villistas, ac
cording to a report brought here today
by the steamer Topila from Tampico.
The Carranzistas put up a hard fight,
it was said, but were outnumbered and
overpowered. Two of their numbers
took refuge in the house of the English
men. They were discovered and put to
death and the Englishmen killed for
having given them shelter, the report
adds.
ABANDON HOPE OF
CATCHING BANK ROBBERS
MIAMI, Fla., Sept. 23.—Members of
the posse which for a week has been
chasing the four bandits who robbed
the Homestead, Fla., bank of $6,000 and
killed three of their pursuers in one of
two pistol battles, returned here today
and stated that they believed the robbers
would not be caught.
The last seen of any of them was at
Large Key, where they had taken refuge
alter leading their pursuers through al
most impassable swamps and motor-boat
dashes between the many small islands
along the coast below here.

wore off. Finally after great search I
found a combination ot medicines which
completely freed me from this distressing,
dangerous disease and it has never returned.

TO ENTERTAIN CANNING
AND CORN CLUB VISITORS
Homes Are Needed for Boys
and Girls Who Will Be Here
During Fair
Plans are on foot as usual, for the
entertainment in the homes of Atlanta of
the hundreds of corn club boys and can
ning club girls, who will be here for
two days in connection with their an
nual exhibition, which will be given this
year at the Southeastern fair grounds
at Lakewood, October 14 to 21, inclu
sive.
Atlanta has never failed in the mat
ter of entertaining these boys and
girls when they come here for their brief
annual recreation after a year’s well
directed effort and hard work. It is
i the reward they look forward to for
' the service rendered, and it is a big
service they are rendering Georgia.
Assistant Secretary Harvey Johnson,
of the Atlanta chamber of commerce,
will have charge this year of the work
of securing homes for these boys and
girls. Last year brought to Atlanta be
tw en 800 and 1.000 of them altogether,
and practically every one of them was
well taken care of and provided for by
the hospitable* people of Atlanta, who
were glad to contAbute their part in the
encouragement of the great work the»e
energetic producers are doing.
Os course it takes a good many homes
to take care of about a thousand boys
and girls, but Atlanta has them and
I of course will open them as usual. There
! will be some 700 or 800 boys, and ap
proximately 150 to 200 girls. Noth
ing that -Atlanta has ever done has been
more appreciated by the people through
out the country sections of the state
than this hospitality shown these
young Georgians.
The hostesses of Atlanta who are will
ing to take care of some of these boys
and girls are requested as promptly as
possible to send in their names and ad
dresses to Secretary Walter G. Cooper,
of the chamber of commerce, stating
the number they are willing to enter
tain. They will be listed and the young
visitors will be assigned to homes in
the usual manner on their arrival in
the city somewhere about October 18 or
17.
QUESTION IS RAISED OVER
CANDIOATES' STATEMENTS
Shall Candidates Who Haven’t
Filed Reports Be De
clared Nominees?
A somewhat mooted question has been
raised as to whether the state Demo
cratic convention which meets at Macon
Tuesday can legally declare as nominees
of the recent state primary those suc
cessful candidates who have not up to
that time filed sworn itemized state
ments of their campaign expenditures.
The state law allows twenty days af
ter the primary for the filing of these
statements with the comptroller general
However, it also provides that any candl
date who has not complied with the law
and filed his statement shall not be de
declared the nominee of his party.
The conflict comes about by reason of
the fact that the state executive com
mittee fixed the date for the convention
before the expiration of the twenty days
allowed by law for filing statements,
which period does not expire until Octo
ber 2.
Some of those who have discussed th®
point raised take the position that no
nominees can be declared by the con
vention who have not previously filed
their statements, while others contend
that it is not contrary to law for the
convention to go ahead and declare the
nominees Tuesday, regardless of wheth •
er they have their statements, but
that should any of the nominees fail to
file their statements within the time pre
scribed by Jaw then another convention
would have to be called to declare other
nominees

WARM BATTLE FOR
PRESIDENT SEEN BY
NEW YORK HERALD
Political Poll Taken by News
paper Shows Nothing to
Warrant Assertions o f
Sweeping Republican Victory
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—The New York
Herald will tomorrow print the first in
stallment of its political poll forecasting
the November vote. The forecast is
copyrighted by the Herald and says:
"Copyright 1916, by the New York
Herald company, all rights reserved.
“Charles E. Hughes has a slight ad
vantage in the first straw vote tabula
tion in the Herald's national presidential
canvass.
"It is by no means sufficient to justi
fy a prediction at this time regarding
the outcome of the election on November
7.
"The vote to date is too small to per
mit a definite calculation. Neither is it
sufficiently representative to be infalli
ble. It is, however, extremely illuminat
ing. Altogether 26,997 votes have
been gathered. Hughy received 1,649
more than Wilson.
“But it is the drifts from the stand
ards of four years ago which represent
the most significance. It is these drifts
in which giust be sought the key to the
puzzle which will confront the statisti
cians.
“From all that can be learned at thia
time from the straw votes and the ob
servations of correspondents who have
travelled the country, no one is going to
"walk away" with the presidency this
year. There is nothing now to warrant
the assertions of some of the Republi
cans that Hughes and Fairbanks will
sweep the country. There is nothing to
bear out the declaration of some Demo
crats that for keeping the nation at
peace the president has won the support
of all the middle Vestern states, all the
rural .communities and all the women of
the equal suffrage states. •
“On the other hand, there is every in
dication that the battle for the presi
dency which is just beginning to reach
its interesting stages will be one worth
watching.”
TENNESSEE LOCKER LAW
HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Indictments Against Two Clubs
Are Quashed by Supreme
Court
(By Associated Press.)
KNOXVILLE, Tena., Sept. 23.—The
state supreme court today held to be
unconstitutional the so-called "locker
law” which prohibits the maintenance
of lockers for bars or buffets in clubs in
Tennessee.
In concluding its opinion the court
held "the act under which the two in
dictments were framed having been
found unconstitutional and void on the
grounds stated, it necessarily results
that the judgment of the trial court
quashing these indictments must be af
firmed.
trie indictments referred to were those
against the Elks’ club in Chattanooga
and the Cumberland club in Knoxville.
