GIVEN GREAT OPEN IN G
Exercises Are Attended by
Nearly 2,000, Many From
Other Cities
Between 1.500 and 2.000 pe«w>le at
tended the opening exercises of Emory
university' Wednesday morning at the
university site on the North Decatur
road.
Moot of them were Atlanta people, al
though there were a large numoer of
distinguished visitors from other parts
of Georgia and the south, including many
ladies. The exercises marked another
epoch.in the educational progress of the
south*, and none who attended them, but
were impressed with the solemnity of
the occasion and its meaning to the in
tellectual welfare of future generations.
The exercises were held in a big tent
which had been erected tn «« open space
between the law and theological build
ings. Bishop Warren A. Candler, chan
cellor of the university, presided.
• BEGAN YEARS AGO.
In his introductory speech. Bishop
Candle** explained that this could not be
called the actual opening of Emory uni
versity. as the school had its beginning
many years ago and since then had
grown and prospered like * century
plant. The school of liberal arts of
Emory, he said, opened in 1840. the med
ical school in 1854. the theological school
two years ago. Today, he said, really
marked the opening of the school of law,
named after a native Georgian. L. Q. C.
Tomer, who later moved to Mississippi,
from there went to the United states
senate and became one of the most prom
inent men that the south has ever pro
duced.
Dr. Robert Selby, of Mississippi, then
led the assembly in prayer, following
which Bishop Candler introduced Hon.
Cone Johnson, of Texas, solicitor to the
department of justice in Washington, de
scribing him as one of a number of na
tive Georgians who have helped to make
Texas the great state it is today.
Mr. Johnson began his address —the
only one of the day—with a tribute to
the women of Georgia. It was the hand
and needle of a Georgia girl, he said,
that made the first flag of Texas —the
flag of the lone star on a field of blue.
Texas today honors that woman with a
monument to her memory, he declared.
•CHRISTIAN EDUCATION."
. Mr. Johnson’s subject was “Christian
Edneatinn" He said that under th a
domination of the church, with its pow
ers and its Christian influences, one can
get a far better, more forceful and deep
er education than he can under the dom
ination of the state. Mr. Johnson said
that his one prayer for Emory is that
'no stress nor circumstance will ever in
duce its leaders to depart from the
homespun religion of their forefathers.
Atlanta and Georgia are digging the en
trenchments for a battle which will ul
timately exceed in value the battles of
history, he declared.
“Christian education is the proper
sort of preparedness. The question of
religion is as important in education
as the multiplication table.”
He concluded his address with a
glowing tribute to L Q. C. Lamar, as
a jurist whose equal has scarcely been
found in the south and has not been ex
celled by any man in the country. He
declared that in him were embodied the
highest ideals of American liberty.
Following the opening exercises, the
visitors were shown through the four
university buildings: the school of la*,
the Candler school of theology, the Sam
C. Dobbs hall and the Winehip hall, the
.last two being the dormitories.
At 1 o’clock Mr. Johnson and other
distinguished visitors motored to the
Druid Hills Golf club, where they were
guests at an elaborate luncheon

ner at the Druid Hills Golf club. The

WILSON INDORSED BY
CONVENTION PLATFORM
Platform of Dorsey Made Part
of Platform of Democrats
in Georgia
*BT XABX.X.EE bbanck.
(Jours*l Staff Correspondent.)
MACON, Sept. 26.—The Democrat io
state convention this afternoon adopted
a platform that carried four prominent
and vital features.
First—The administration of Woodrow
Wilson was unequivocally endorsed.
Second—The platform of Hugh Dorsey
upon which he ran for governor was
embodied in the platform of the party.
Third—A strong protest against the
effort to carry a citizen of the state
without the bounds of the state tor
trial.
Fourth, indorsed the Neill county unit
and second primary bill vetoed by Gov
ernor Harris and instructed the new
state executive committee to call future
primary elections under Its terms.
• The platform committee immediately
upon beginning its deliberations found
there was a strong sentiment among
some of the members of the committee
against the endorsement of President
Wilson.
W. E. Simmons, of Gwinnett county
protested vigorously against a platform
that did not carry an endorsement of
the national administration. He threat
ened to bring in a minority report un
less this was done. He was opposed to
any expression that committed the
party to Watson’s domination and for
a time vigorously objected to the sec
tion of the platform protesting against
taking of a citizen outside the state
for trial in the federal court. He said
this was nothing but a bone thrown
to Watson and he was opposed to of
fering Watson any "sop’’ whatever.
Mr. Simmons thought a break with
Watson was inevitable and that It
might as well come now as later. The
final agreement was to endorse Wilson
without equivocation and include the
“sop” to Watson.
Albert Howell, of Fulton, offered the
.resolution indorsing President Wilson
and at the same time introduced the
other resolution putting the convention
on record as denouncing any effort on
the part of the national government to
take any citizen of Georgia into another
•tate for trial in the federal courts.
THE PLATFORM.
In addition to embodying the cam
paign platform of Hugh M. Lorsey, the
platform adopted by the convention was
as follows:
The Democratic state convention,
representing the expression of the
white people of Georgia as pro
claimed in the recent primary, here
by adopts and affirms as its declara
tion of principles the platform
upon which the nominee of this con
vention for governor, Hon. Hugh
M. Dorsey, went before the people,
receiving a majority of all of the
votes cast in the primary.
In his nomination the people have
already adopted the platform, which
we hereby reiterate as our declara
tion of principle in all of the state
Issues involved In.
We hereby ratify and endorse the
action of the state presidential
convention held in the city of Ma
con May. 1914, in unqualifiedly en
dorsing the administration of Wood
row Wilson as president of the
United States and in instructing the
Georgia delegation to the national
convention to cast, its vote for his
renomination.
The importance of this endorse
ment is emphasized by the fact that
for Xhe first time in many years
the opposition has struck a keynote
of sectional animosity, and is mak
ing an appeal to sectional prejudice
unworthy of the spirit of national
fraternity. *
We deplore and condemn the tend
ency to outside interference with
such authority of the state, as by
law, custom and tradition, belong
to the state, and especially do w*j
condemn as dangerous and threat
ening to the liberties of the citizens,
and usurpation of authority that
would take from the jurisdiction of
the courts within the state for trial
in a foreign jurisdiction, any citi
zen of this or any other state. Buch
a policy is un-American and inqui
sitorial and is subservive of a fun
damental constitutional right guar
anteed to every citizen in the
United States.
We endorse the Neill county unit
measure passed by both houses of
the recent general assembly, which
was vetoed by the governor and wo
instruct the new executive commits
tee to call all primary elections un
der its terma
Recognizing the obligation of a
prosperous and happy people
through their government to insure
the proper protection and care for
those of their number who may,
all other resources failing, become
* dependent upon it, the legislature
should create a special department
or board for their benefit. Buch a
board should have visitorial and
investigatory powers respecting
dependents and defectives and
should also be charged with the
collection and dissemination of data
concerning the treatment and pre
vention of peverty and the devel
opment of public welfare.
In almost all of the other states
there are state boards for the per
formance of such duties. These
boards have proved of inestimable
value in assisting the legislature
and other branches of the govern
ment, such as counties and cities,
as well as private groups of citi
zens desiring information and guid
ance in their efforts to alleviate and
prevent distress.

Unqualified Praise of
Wilson Marks Keynote
Speech by J. R. Smith
President Has P-reserved Peace
and Given “Square Deal’’ to
the People, Asserts Tempo
rary Chairman in Address
BY XABX.X.EE Bit AN 08,
Journal Staff Correspondent.
MACON. Ga., Sept. 26.—J. R. Smith, of
Atlanta, temporary chairman of the state
Democratic convention, which met here
this morning, in h<s keynote speech, was
liberal and enthusiastic in his praise of
President Wilson and the Democratic ad
ministration. He met all expectations.
It had been expected that he would be
chairman of the resolutions and plat
form committee, and those who knfew
him were confident that if he were given
this place he would Introduce resolu
tions of unqualified indorsement of
President Wilson and his administra
tion.
Mr. Smith was not made cnairman of
the resolutions committee, but in his
speech as temporary chairman he sound
ed a thoroughly Democratic note, ant* as
a member of the resolutions committee
he stood for a platform which would be
an unlimited and unstinted indorsement
of the president.
Every mention of President Wilson
and his administration was vigorously
and enthusiastically applauded.
His first mention of Hugh M. Dor
sey’s name brought forth prolonged
cheers.
When the cheering of Mr. Dorsey’s
name had subsided, Gordon Saussy, of
Savannah, jumped to his feet, exclaim
ing: “We have waited three years for
Hugh Dorsey; now let’s give him three
cheers!" This call met a prompt re
sponse.
In part Mr. Smith s keynote speech
vzas as follows:
“My Friends and Fellow Democrats of
Georgia:
“At this hour and in this generation,
more history is being written in blood
than during any previous period in the
world’s history; almost one-half of the
civilized world is engaged in the most
gigantic struggle recorded in any age.
The distress that it brings to civilization
is that the end of that great horror is
not yet in sight. No prophet can yet

TRIBUTE TO MR. WILSON.
“History will say that the guiding
genius who heads our national organi
zation, of which we are a part, has done
more for the preservation of civilization
than any man who has yet lived.
“We have met here chiefly for the pur
pose of ratifying the nomination of the
Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, whom the Demo
crats of Georgia have chosen as their
standard-bearer and leader, and by this
act we are adding to the strength of the
Democratic organization of the nation.
The Democratic party, under the pow
erful leadership of the Hon. Woodrow
Wilson, the most fearless statesman yet
appearing upon the political horizon
since the days of Washington and Jef
ferson, has given to the country, in ad
dition to peace and prosperity, the most
wholesome laws ever written upon our
statute books; laws that the enemies of
the party dare nor challenge in their
canvass of the country for support;
laws which they, for forty years, stead
fastly refused to give to the country;
laws that have released the country
financially, and made it possible for
every man in every line of endeavor to
pursue his business without the slight
est chance of being ‘squelched’ by the
financial sharks who controlled the
money market of this country before the
Democratic party wrenched it from
them.
“ ‘SQUARE) DEAL’ FOR PEOPLE.
“The enemies of our party, in the face
of all the facts, will find it difficult to
convince American people that they have
not been given a ’square deal,’ and
given the highest degree of representa
tion at home and abroad by the Demo-,
cratic party. #
“Reinforced’in this state by the elec
tion of one of her most fearless and
loyal Democrats, Hugh Dorsey, as our
leader, Georgia will stand, as she has
always stood, resting squarely upon the
principles of the Democracy that has
preserved her and brought her through
the fights and given her the position
she now occupies in the hearts of the
American people.”

Andrews and that the woman had not
been living with her husband recently.
Graveur, she also told the police, was
a widower and had been very friendly
with Mrs. Belzer.

SR IP WINS IN THRILLING
GUTTLE WITH SUBMARINE
British Steamer Badly Batter
ed, but Her Guns Hold Off
Undersea Craft
(By Associated Press.)
NEWPORT NEWS. Va., Sept. 27. —Tne
British steamer Antinous, which left
here early today after taking on bunker
coal, had a narrow escape from destruc
tion by a German submarine when off
Algiers, en route to New York, via Gi
braltar and Newport News. The Anti
nous was badly battered up by shell
fire from the U-boat and only the Vvvo
guns carried by the steamer, by keeping
the undersea craft at a distance too
great to fire a torpedo, enabled her to
escape. A large portion of the Antinous’
bridge was shot away, one ’shell pene
trated the bunkers and another struck
just over the boilers. Minor damage
was done to several other parts of the
vessel.
Captain Fishwick said his two guns
had a range of three miles, as against
the five-mile range of the submarine's
guns, and this difference allowed the
U-boat to fire on him without his be
ing able to successfully return it. The
three-mile range, however, was sufficient
according to Captain Fishwick, to pre
vent the successful discharge of a tor
pedo at the Antinous.
The submarine finally gave up the
chase of its own accord, said the cap
tain.
En route to Gibraltar to Baltimore on
the outward voyage, said Captain Fish
wick, an enraged sailor stabbed the
boatswain to death. The sailor was sen
tenced to five months in jail when tried
at Gibraltar, and the captain was severe
ly reprimanded by the court for giving
the sailor an opiate to quiet him down
after the killing.
Dodge County Fair Will
Be an Important Event
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
EASTMAN, Ga.. Sept. 27. —Indica-
tions are that the Dodge County fair,
October 17 to 21, will be the largest
event of the kind ever held in south or
middle Georgia. Work has just been
finished on buildings of the latest and
most approved designs and a race track,
one-half miles in length which repre
sents an expenditure of J 15,000, giving
one of the most completely equipped
fair plants in the state.
Applications have been received from
prospective exhibitors sufficient to take
up every foot of space in the seven big
fair buildings. The showing of agricul
tural products and live stock will be
most comprehensive and thoroughly
representative of this section. There
will also be exhibitions of the latest
improved farm machinery, woman’s
work, girls’ canning clubs, boys’ corn
and pig clubs and boys’ and girls’ poul
try clubs.
FARMERBADLY lURT
WHEN STRUCK BY TRAIN
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
FAIRBURN, Ga., Sept. 26.—0. C.
Howard, a farmer near here, was badly
injured Tuesday morning when he was
struck by a Central of Georgia train
entering this city. Mr. Howard was
driving his wagon into the city and it
is presumed he miscalculated his
chance of crossing the tracks ahead of
the train. The train was stopped and
members of the crew placed Mr. How
ard aboard and drove him to Newnan,
where he was placed in the hospital.
His leg was crushed below the knee,
his hip was injured and his left arm
badly bruised. He will recover.

Lamar Loses in Move
To Secure Release From
Prison at End of Year
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 26. —An ineffectual
effort to clear the way for his release
from the federal penitentiary at Atlanta
before the end of. the* present year was
made in the United States district court
here today by David Lamar, known as
the “Woff of Wall Street.” who is serv
ing a 'sentence of .two years for imper
sonating A. Mitchell Palmer, formerly
a congressman, with intent to defraud
the United States Steel corporation and
J. P. Morgan & Co.
Lamar did not begin to serve his
sentence when it was imposed and was
at liberty under bail from December,
1914 to June, 1916, when he surrendered
and was taken to Atlanta. His counsel
today contended that Lamar really was
serving his sentence while under bail
but the court held that the period La
mar was out on bail should not be sub
tracted from the two years.
