NIGHT SESSIONS OF
SENATE ON TREATY
IDE»HALE
Three Republicans Speak in
Opposition to Textual
Changes but Say They Will
Vote for Reservations
WASHINGTON, Oct 16— Demand
that the senate hold night sessions
to speed up action on the peace treaty
was made by Senator Hale, of Maine,
Republican, in a speech today.
“The country wants action and
wants It now,” he declared.
“I think that everybody in the sen
ate and in the country is sick and
tired of the whole debate. All of
us know exactly how we are going
to vote. If we really want to dis
pose of this treaty the way to do it
is to hold night sessions and force
the matter to a conclusion. I be
lieve the time has come when we
can and should take action.”
Senator Hale expressed warm dis
approval both of the Shantung pro
vision and of the voting arrangement
in the League of Nations but declared
he will oppose the Shantung and the
Johnson amendments. He will sup
port reservations covering them.
Senator Kellogg, Minnesota, speak
ing against the Shantung amend
ment, held that our “hands-off” plo
icy in Shantung for twenty years
during Germany's pessossion of it
should be continued. He favored
reservations withholding America’s
approval of Japan’s course.
“We cannot assume the full bur
den of Far Eastern adjustment,”
hes aid.
“I regret that so many hard things
have been said of Japan at a time
when we are seeking to compose
the affairs of the world,” said Sen
ator Townsend, Michigan. The
treaty is the best that can be ex
pected at present, he concluded, and
it will not bear such drastic changes
as the Shantung amendment. Sen
ator Townsend would be satisfied
with reservations, but unless they
clearly state America’s position on
the Shantung transfer he will vote
against the treaty.
An attack on the Shantung amend
ment by Senator Sterling, South Da
• kota, was based upon the senator’s
supposition that the treaty was now
an accomplished fact, until Senator
Lodge corrected him by reading a
newspaper report that ratification by
the chief allied powers had been
postponed. He continued to oppose
the amendment on what he called
moral grounds.
Disputing Senator Sterling’s state
ment- that the United States never
objected to Germany’s acquisition of
Shantung, Senator Watson, Indiana,
stated that our war with Spain was
the only reason for our failure to
intervene at that time in favor of
China.
Senator Hoke Smith announced he
would vote against the amendment,
“although I regret the disposition
made of Shantung by our
fives at Paris.”
Senator Smoot, Republican, de
clared that “under no condition” will
he vote for the treaty without reser
vations. He announced he wll vote
for a reservation covering the
Shantung amendment, but that he
will vote against the amendment
Senator Sherman, of Illinois, sup
ported the amendment as a practical
measure, because he said, Japan and
Britain are permanent allies and
China may be our only friend in the
east.
Army Is Ready to
Crush Disorder in
Nation, Says Baker
CLEVELAND,. Ohio, Oct. 16.—The
whole army is prepared to crush dis
order in the United States, Newton
D. Baker, secretary of war, tolcl the
convention of Ohio Federation ot
Woman’s Clubs here last night.
Baker said the aid of troops had
been pledged to every community at
the first outbreak of civil disorder.
Governors of all states have been
assured that it is not necessary to
go through the formality of apply
ing to Washington for aid, Baker
said. All department commanders
have been notified to reply instantly
with troops to all requests for as
sistance, he said.
"The army is on the side of order
as against disorder,” Baker told the
4 women.
Baker avoided any mention of
President Wilson’s condition; also the
Shantung controversy, and the near
est approach he made to the League
of Nations was In his peroration
when he said “When this world,
drawn so much closer together than
* the world ever was before, will in
fact be a world filled with co-oper
ating nations, with harmonious in
ternational relations among them,
and processes no longer of balance
of power, but a focusing arrange
ment established by Wiiich the opin
ion of mankind can be brought to
bear upon every international dispute
and justice made to reign among
nations. . . .”

World Cotton Conference
To Be Made Permanent;
To Meet Next in England
Growers - Spinners’ Confer
ence Feature of Meeting,
Shackelford’s Speech Is
Great Hit
BY ROGERS WINTER
(The Journal’s Staff Correspondent.)
NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 16.
That the great world cotton confer
ence now approaching the close of
its deliberations in this city is to
be continued as a permanent org i-
Ization with annual meetings in the
future was assured today by,the ac
ceptance of the report of the com
mittee appointed to draft a consti
tution and by-laws looking to that
end. For the past two days the mem
bers of the committee have been in
consultation with one another dur
ing practically every moment of their
leisure time, and last night they fin
ished their draft of the constitution
and by-laws to be presented to the
conference as the basis for forming
a permanent organization.
Their report provides that the
world cotton conference shall be
made ; rmanent for the mutual ben
efit of the various groups of the cot
ton • dustry represented here at the
Net ns conference, that the con
ference shall be composed of mem
bership by groups instead of by in
dividual memberships, that action
shr” be taken by a vote of the groups
comprising the conference, that no
resolution shall be adopted or pro
gram outlined unless by unanimous
vote of all eleven groups.
It is further provided that the next
ting of the world cotton i er
ence sholl be held in England in
1921. The committee would have
recommended that the next con
ference be held in 1920, but
tlie members of the British dele
gation were not quite certain that
conditions in their country would be
sufficiently settled within a wear to
permit the entertainment of a great
world gathering.
Whether the 1921 conference shall
be held in Liverpool, London, Man
chester, or some other city is a ques
tion to be determined later. It is
possible that the British spinners
will feel themselves prepared to en
tertain the conference in 1920, in
which evei|t a meeting will be called.
Groups In Conference
The eleven groups composing the
present conference are the same that
will compose the membership of the
permanent conference. These eleven
are as follows:
I—growers; 2—ginners; 3—seed
crushers and manufacturers of seed
products; 4—compressmen and ware
housemen; s—cotton merchants; 6
transportation and insurance; 7
banking; B—government aryd econom
ics; 9—American spinners and man
ufacturers; 10—European spinners
and manufacturers; 11—textile mer
chants, converters and finishers.
As will be seen from reading this
list, the eleven groups composing the
conference include everybody who
plays a part in the production of
cotton from the field to the delivery
of the finished product to the ulti
mate consumer.
What Spinners Want
The clearest statement of the
spinners’ side of the case was pre
sented by E. D. Orme, of Liverpool,
who said:
“Cost of production of cotton is a
variable quantity from year to year.
Cost of production of manufactured
goods is a variable quantity from
year to year. So far as the spinners
are concerned they do not want to
buy your cotton at less than the cost
of production plus a satisfactory
profit. I might go further and say
it makes very little difference what
price they pay for cotton, so long
as all spinners are able to buy at a
practical parity. In other words, so
long as the prices paid by all spin
ners are the same, it makes but
little difference what price they pay.
My advice, you gentle
men of the south, is to perfect the
strongest organization possible to
make arrangements for financing
your cotton and holding it in ware
houses, to fix your prices according
to production costs plus a reasonable
profit, and then to put it away and
let us have it as we need it. That
is the way for you to eliminate this
gambling business you speak of so
much. All of us are gamblers in
the future market for our protection.
Put your cotton in your warehouses.

BOLSHEVIK FORCES
FACING DISASTER
ON FOUR FRONTS
LONDON, Oct. 16. —Forced back by
the onslaughts of enemies on four
fronts, the armies of the soviet gov
ernment of Russia appear to be fac
ing a period pregnant with disaster.
General Denikine’s Cossacks from
the south, Polish forces from the
west, northwestern Russian legions on
the northwest and northern Russian
troops from the north, have during
the last few days forged ahead until
it seems the Bolshevik armies are
between the upper and nether mill
stones. y
Petrograd is doomed to capture, in
the opinion of observers, General
Yudenitch being at Gatchina, only
twenty-five miles south of the former
Russian capital. In the extreme
north, the northern Russian army has
broken the resistance of the Bol
shevik!, according to reports, and
are pursuing them toward Onega, a
village about 150 miles west of
Archangel. Further to the south it
has forced its way far along the
Dvina river. Polish forces have cap
tured Kovno, on the extreme north
ern end of their line. Denikine’s men
have driven a giant wedge into cen
tral Russia as far as Orel, and are
thought to be on their way toward
Tula, an important railway center
that is considered the key to Moscow
East of the Urals is Admiral Kol
chak’s army. It is seemingly too
far away to enter into consideration
as a vital factor in the situation
which is developing in Russia proper
Generals Denikine and Yudenitch and
Admiral Kolchak are said to be ope
rating in close co-ordination.
West of General Denikine’s army
are forces of Ukrainians, who while
supposed to be hostile to the Bol
shviki, have declared War on Deni
kine because of alleged atrocities per
petrated by the latter’s soldiers on
their advance toward Moscow. Re
ports have been received, however,
that part of the Ukrainian army has
joined Denikine, having been assured
the latter will wrest eastern Galicia
and the province of Chelm from Po
land.
Ad .dees from Russia state Colonel
Avaloff?Bermondt, whose sudden at
tack on Riga last week caused a sen
sation, has declared he began his
campaign only for the purpose of
“securing the Duna river front
against Moscow.”
This front is between the sectors
held by General Yudenitch and the
Polish army. So far as known, fight
ing is still in progress in Riga, but
the exact situation there is not
known. Germano-Russian troops un
der command of Colonel Avaloff-
Bermondt, however, seem to have
gained ground north of Riga, having
captured the town of Dunamunde.
according to report.

CURED HER FITS
Mrs. Patil Gram, residing at 916
Fourth Street, Milwaukee, Wis., re
cently gave out the following state
ment: ”1 had suffered with Fits
(Epilepsy) for over 14 years. Doc
tors and medicine did me no good. It
seemed that I was beyond all hope
of relief, when at last I secured a
preparation that cured me sound and
well. Over 10 years have passed
and the attacks have not returned.
I wish every one who suffers from
this terrible disease would write R.
P. N. Lepso, 13 Island Avenue, Mil
waukee, Wis., and ask for a bottle
of the same kind of medicine which
he gave me. He has generously
promised to send it prepaid, free to
any one who writes him.” —(Advt.)

TRADE BOARD SEES
PACKERS* CONTROL
OF NATION'S FOOD
Section of Report Declares
That Whole Grocery Busi
ness Is About to Be Ab
sorbed by Them
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Reltera
tio" of the claim that the five big
packing companies of Chicago bid
fair to dominate the wholesale gro
cery trade and already handle more
than 200 foods unrelated to the meat
packing industry, many of them di
rectly competitive as meat substi
tutes, is made in part IV of the fed
eral trade commission’s report on
the industry, published here today.
"The extent to which the packer
should be permitted to enter unre
lated food lines (even assuming le
gitimate competitive methods),” the
report said, “is a matter which the
public interest alone hhould deter
mine.
“Two questions, primarily eco
nomic, are involved:
"Does this widening of activity re
sult in additional economies, of pro
duction and distribution?
“Dpes it result and wih it continue
to result to the public in lower
prices . better quality of product,
and service?
“A third question, not here dis
cussed, related to the ultimate ef
fect of such vast and powerful or
ganizations on the political and so
cial fabric of American institutions.”
Included in the list of commodities
said to be falling under control of
the “Big Five" are poultry and game,
dairy products, lard and butter sub
stitutes, canned and dried vegeta
bles and fruit, canned, cured and fro
zen fish, cocoa, coffee, molasses and
cane, corn and maple syrups. In ad
dition, Armour & Co., one of the five,
is said to be handling extensively
soda fountain preparations and uten
sils.
Control Varies
The extent of packer control va
ries with the locality and commodity
“and the dealer whose business is
being absorbed,” the report asserts.
"Owing to the maze and secrecy
of the packers’ methods of conduct
ing much of its business,” it adds,
“exact statistics on many of these
commodities are not available for the
country -s a whole, which will show
just how far the packers’ control
has reached.
“Many companies manufacturing
or handling these commodities are
controlled by packer interests, no
hint of which i disclosed by the
names under which they operate and
even a thorough-going examination
may fail to uncover the packer con
nection in every case.”
Packers Speculators
The report declares the meat pack
ers “are large speculators” and that
their control of capital and credit
enables them to buy in such away
as to re-sell “upon a market in
which their purchases have forced up
the price.” It also asserts that the
packers “have extraordinary buying
and marketing power due to certain
advantages, perhaps not always un
lawful but certainly often unjusti
fiable.”
Among these advantages are enu
merated packer control of 44.8 per
cent of all cold storage facilities,
their refrigerator car service, the
“highly favorable rules” obtain''' by
the packers for mixed carloads
fresh meats and packing house prod
ucts, permitting them to include a
great variety of goods “foreign to
their slaughtering business” with re
sulting discriminations not alone in
service, but also in rates.
“Until the packers are shorn of
the transportation advant'' ~~~ grant
ed them by the carr/ers,” the re
port says, “there is no way of meas
uring their true industrial efficiency.”
WILSON HAS GOOD
NIGHT; HIS PULSE
REPORTEDNORMAL
"WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Pres
idnet Wilson, relieved from the
glandular swelling from -which he
suffered for two days, had a good
night’s rest last night, said the bul
letin Issued at 11:55 a. m. today by
his physicians. The bulletin fol
lows:
“The discom'fort which the Pres
ident suffered for two days has
been relieved to a very great extent.
He had a good night. His tempera
ture, pulse, respiration and kidney
functions continue normal.”
The statement was signed by Doc
tors Grayson, Ruffin and Stitt. Dr.
Grayson said Dr. A. J. Fowler,
Washington physician, called in to
treat the president for a gland swell
ing, would visit the White House
again today. *
It has not yet been determined
whether the president will be able
to see the king and queen, of the
Belgians, when they visit Washing
ton, it was stated at the White
House.
Last night the doctor was able to
report that a rather persistent head
ache that had bothered the presi
dent, had disappeared.
During the day also the president
was able to demonstrate his remem
brance of Mrs. Wilson's birthday, and
presented her with a gift which he
had a member of the White House
staff p. base several days ago.
New Story Series Begins Today
The first story in the new fiction series is published today
elsewhere in The Semi-Weekly Journal. It is “Ben Hur, a Tale
of the Christ,” by Lew Wallace. It gives in summarized form the
story that has stirred the imagination of story lovers since 1880,
telling, largely through the lives of others, the story of the Christ.
The main character used to bring out figure of the Christ is Bea
Hur, a prince of Jerusalem, rich, happy and ambitious in the be
ginning of the story, unjustly condemned to the galleys, and later
again rich and powerful through unforeseen circumstances. The
story is full of color and life of old Roman days, and intensely
intaresting from beginning to end.
On Tuesday Margaret Wilde’s new serial, “The Story of
Marian Swann” will begin.
LEGION INDORSES
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
BYVDTEOF34TOI3
Resolution to Investigate
Federal Board in This Sec
tion and at Washington
and Others Adopted
The state convention of the Amer
ican Legion in session at the Hotel
Ansley Thursday morning indorsed
the covenant of the League of Na
tions unqualifiedly by a vote of 34
to 13.
The passage of the resolution was
assured on the vote on a motion to
table, which was lost by the vote
of 34 to 14 in passing the resolu
tion the convention adopted the ma
jority report of the resolutions com
mittee and adversed the minority re
port.
The announcement of the vote by
State Secretary C. Baxter Jones, of
Macon, was cheered to the echo, the
demonstration lasting for some time.
Debate on the question was not
long or as heated as was expected
as the convention voted a three-min
ute limit on all speeches. Speak
ing for the resolution were J. B.
Conyers, of Cartersville, who declar
ed that the United States would not
be bound for generations; that it
had a right to withdraw if it saw
fit, and argued that the league
should be given a fair trial.
“It is a step in the right direc
tion.” he said.
Landon A. Thomas, of Augusta,
commander of the Louis L. Battey
post, who submitted a minority re
port as a member of the resolu
tions committee, recommending that
the resolutions be passed -with reser
vations, spoke against the original
resolution. He said that the sov
ereignty of the United States should
be preserved by reservation, and that
the covenant would be more effective
with reservations than without them.
Roy Dorsey, chairman of the gen
eral convention committee, who in
troduced the resolution, declared
that it was up to the people of the
United States to express themslves
on all great policies. He described
the covenant as the most humane
and divine document the world has
ever known, and declared that the
argument presented against the
League of Nations was camouflage
and worthless.
The convention was prolonged and
forced to hold an afternoon session
when an amendment o the consti
tution regarding the number of votes
was brought up. The matter will
be disposed of Thursday afternoon,
as will the election of officers and
the naming of delegates to the na
tional convention.
The convention also passed reso
lutions urging that November 11, “Ar
mistice day,” be made a national
holiday, and a resolution by Mr.
Thomas indorsing universal military
training for the United States.
A resolution to investigate the
methods of the federal bard for vo
cational training, especiallj r as to
wounded men, was passed. The resq
lution recommended that the sum
paid these men be made adequate, if
found inadequate after the investiga
tion. The resolution also provided
for the appointment of a commit
tee to investigate the -work of the
vocational board in this section.
Other resolutions passed were to
allow each state to settle the ques
tion as to negro membership in the
legion; a resolution instructing dele
gates as to how to vote in the na
tional convention. This means that
the Georgia delegation will vote for
the League of Nations covenant if
it comes up in the natioanl conven
tion.

Says No One Can Buy
Cuban Sugar Crop

ing to a letter from President
Alejo E. Carreno, of the Cuban
Sugar Manufacturers’ and Planters’

From Poverty to ITCealth
Outrivals Cinderella’s
Dilapidated Suitcase, Old
Clothes and Snuff Box.
-Discarded for Jewels and
Furs When “Uncle Jack”
Appears
Mrs. Catherine Bradstreet, one of
the principals in the sensational
Fairburn bank robbery case, made
her appearance in Atlanta at least
a year ago and a man answering the
description of William B.* Green, vice
president of the bank and now
charged with embezzlement of the
bank’s funds, was lavishing money
and presents upon her at that time,
according to information secured* at
a fashionable boarding house on
Peachtree street
Persons at the boarding house de
clare that in October 1918 Mrs.
Bradstreet and her husband engaged
a room there, saying that they wished
to obtain quarters located conven
ient to Camp Gordon, where Brad
street was stationed at the time.
Mrs. Bradstreet, they say, made
the statement that she was from New
York City. One of the members of
the family operating the boarding
house told the story of Mrs. Brad
street’s activities something as fol
lows:
“Mrs. Bradstreet told us she had
married against her parents’ wishes
and had left home with very little
personal apparel. She wore a blue
coat suit and carried a rather di
lapidated suit case. I had occasion
to go with Her to her room the day
she came and was astonished to
see her produce a pistol, a razor and
a box of snuff, which she placed on
the mantel-piece.
“Within a few days a strange man
appeared with her and was intro
duced as ‘Uncle Jack.’ Mrs. Brad
street said he was a druggist of
Fairburn, Ga., and was very wealthy.
About the same time she discarded
the blue coat suit and appeared in
a very stylish and expensive cos
tume, with a big picture hat and
costly trinkets of various kinds.
Gave Her a Car
“She had been wearing a cheap
little ring, but this was discarded
and she began to wear a beautiful
solitaire diamond ring, also display
ing several other articles of jewelry
which were undoubtedly very valua
ble. ‘Uncle Jack’ would come to
the house every few days driving a
big automobile and one day Mrs.
Bradstreet told us that ‘Uncle Jack’
was going to give her a car just like
NUTGROWERSOF
SOUTH ATTENDING'
ALBANY MEETING!
ALBANY, Ga., Oct. 16.—Nut grow
ers from all over the south, and many
from other sections of the country,
are in attendance at the annual con
vention of the National Nut Growers’
association which opened a three
day convention here Wednesday.
It was planned orginally for the
Northern Nut Growers’ association
to hold its annual convention jointly
with the Southern Nut Growers’ or
ganization, but this plan was
changed. The joint convention was
to have been held here last year,
but was called off on account of in
fluenza conditions. This year it was
deemed best by the northern grow
ers to hold a meeting of their own,
so much time having elapsed since
their last convention. Many repre
sentatives of the northern growers
are here for the convention, however.
Several hundred visitors will be
here during the convention and elab
orate preparations have been made
for entertaining them. In addition
to the nut growers who will attend
the convention, there will be numer
ous distinguished visitors represent
ing the national government. These
will include, besides experts from
the department of culture, such men
as United States Senators Duncan U.
Fletcher, of Florida; James E. Rans
dell, of Louisiana, and J. E. Watson,
of Indiana.
25.000 Permanent Penisons
LONDON. —The pensions minister
states that approximately 25,000 per
manent pensions have been granted
for partial disability.
it. Sure enough, in a day or two
she came driving up in a big Hudson
Super-six, saying that ‘Uncle Jack’
had given it to her. The negro
chauffeur, Robert, had been driving
around to the house in a big car and
taking her to ride, but after she got
her own automobile she employed
him and he drove her every day.
“The most beautiful flowers came
to Mrs. Bradstreet every day and
just quantities of fruit of all kinds.
“I went up to her room several
times and saw great piles of money
lying around. On two or three oc
casions I have seen packages of cur
rency sealed up as they do at banks,
lying on the mantel-piece. Once I
counted it and it was more than
$1,200. There were packages of tens,
twenties and fifties. She just left it
lying around as though she didn’t
know the value of it. I have seen
her pay the butler $5 to cook her
breakfast when she got up late in
the morning.
Green is charged with 'embezzle
ment. Mrs. Bradstreet, Bradstreet and
Ellison are also charged with em
bezzlement. Mrs. Bradstreet and the
negro are also held as material wit
nesses, and Mrs. Bradstreet further
more is held under a bail trover suit
for her wedding ring. Her total bond
in the three cases is fixed at $7,900;
Bradstreet's bond is fixed at $5,000.
and Ellison’s bond in the two cases
totals $7,500. Green is the only one
of the four who has made bond. His
bond is for $15,000.
The commitment hearing whenever
it takes place, will be the first step
in the legal procedure. It will prob
ably be brief, attorneys for the prose
cution being required to produce only
evidence to justify the
holding of Green, the Bradstreets and
Ellison for action by the grand jury.
The grand jury of Campbell county
does not hold its next regular ses
sion until February, it was stated
Thursday at Fairburn, but in case
the prisoners are bound over at the
commitment hearing, a special ses
sion of the grand jury to act on
their cases will probably be called.
The commitment hearing and all
other legal steps in the case will
take place in Campbell county at
Fairburn, the county seat, since the
embezzlement warrants are all re
turnable to Campbell county./ If the
four are bound over to the grand
jury and are then indicted by the
grand jury, it is said that the trial
of each will take place separately
in the courthouse at Fairburn.
In the meantime, attorneys for
both sides, city detectives and Pink
ertons retained by the American
Bankers’ association, will be busy
gathering evidence.
PLANREADYFOR
CONFERENCE ON
MINERS’ STRIKE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Deter
mined to prevent the threatened coal
strike by bringing about an agree
ment between the miners and opera
tors, Secretary of Labor Wilson to
day prepared a plan of settlement for
submission to the representatives of
both sid°s in the dispute when they
meet here tomorrow.
John L. Lewis acting president of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, is on his way to Washington,
and is expected here late this after
noon. He has just called a strike
of approximately 400,0 J ) coal miners
for November 1. The labor secre
tary, Mi Lewis and Thomas T.
Brewster, president of the Coal
Operators association, will confer
Friday in an effort to reach a basis
of settlement.
Industries throughout the United
States will be paralyzed a month
after the coal strike goes into effect
November 1, government experts
estimated today.
Most of the country will feel the
strike seriously long before a month
expires, it was said, even in case of
good weather. With cold weather,
two weeks was given as the minimum
before the public feels the strike.
Railroad reserve coal is variously
estimated. Figures submitted to the
senate recently show a ten days’
supply on hand. Other figures, also
given to the senate, show a month’s
supply in reserve. The latter figures
show 12,500.000 tons on hand and an
average yearly Consumption of 130,-
000,000 tons.
