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.

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.” LET US SHOW YOU HOWTO GET Here we go again, breaking all records for mt, , new. nobby, ahead-oftha jL J time style*.

'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. Billings Is Convicted in Bomb Explosion Trial By Associated Ptass.)

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.

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.

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.

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 Bank Pays Dividend WEST POINT.

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.)
