SENTENCED TO.GANG
FOR STEALING HOUSE
Atlanta, Ga., July 27.—Found guil
ty of stealing a two-story brick house
Ben Chapman, a negro, has been sen
tenced by Judge John D. Humphries
in Fulton superior court to serve 12
months on the chain-gang.
Chapman maintained that -ne had
not stolen the house, but the court
was shown that the building was gone
and many witnesses testified to the
fact that Chapmen was the man who
remo't ed it—“lock, stock a8d barrel'
—from its former location at 691
Whitehall street. The building prior
to the theft was the property of Ja
son Elsas.
Testimony Introduced at the trial
showed that Chapman had employed
a gang of laborers, and proceeded to
tear down thd building. As the ma
terials were taken away, they were
loaded in wagons, and, according to
the state's witnesses, sold in all parts
of the city. One witness testified that
a very good building already has beon
built from material taken from the
stolen building.
ChapmoXWas not molested during
the two months it required for him
to steal the house, said witnesses.
Those who watched the work thought
U was simply a gang from some home
wrecking concern, and did not sus
pect the workmen of being thieves.
A DREAM FOR BinUHNG'igx
AND RUNNING AUTOS ONg
PRODUCTS OF THE SOUTH !
We Are Not Playing
Atlanta, Ga., July 27.—'That auto
mobiles of the future will' be com
structed of cotton, formaldehyde and
glue la now practically assured, ac
cording to Atlanta automobile deal
ers. It has been found, It Is stated,
that ore which produces steel Is con
stantly diminishing, that steel is too
heavy and expensive for cars and the
versatility of cotton, as usual, comes
to the rescue.
Furthermore, it Is declared by one
of the leading automobile men of At
lanta.-the car-of the future will be
run to fuel other than gasoline. Al
readyit is said that the use of ,coal
dust, has pasted the experimental
stage and It is predicted that product
will be used for fuel extensively in a.-
short time. The coal dust, at explain
ed by'auto men here who have wit
nessed a demonstration, is driven into
the cylinder under high pressure and
is exploded by a spark and a slight
ash Is formed which fails out thru
the bottom—that Is the top of the
engine, since that machine is bottom
side up. ,
'The automotive factories ore said
to be preparing to manufacture light 1
oars for-the coming years, In order
to cut down the cost of manufacture
and maintenance,” said an Atlanta
dealer today. “Steel is not only too
heavy, they say to use in such con
struction, of cars, but it Is found that
aluminum la too costly. This
counts for experiments which to date
have resulted In a general verdict
(or a construction composition made
6t cotton, glne and formaldehyde. It
Is the belief that such a composition
has at once solved the problem of
cheaper construction of cars of all
kinds, and that It insures cheaper
fuel for the same.”
This tremendous industrial program
aocordlng to Atlanta business men
and manufacturers, is of great import
ance to the South. As pointed, out
here, Dixie'not only produces a great
part of the nation's coal, hut it pro
duces approximately 100 per cent o(
its cotton. Under the old plan, it is
slated here, practically all of the au
tomobiles nsed In the South are man
ufactured in other parts .of the court
try. About all the fuel to operate
them oomes from other parts of the
nation. "If the tide turns,” said
local dealer, “so that cars are made
rom our staple products and
operated by our coal mines Dixie will
assume a big place in tomorrow’s
world.”

1. M. EpWASDS, Prop.
Atlanta. Ga„ July 27.—Hon. Wm.
D. Upshaw, congressman of the Fifth
(Atlanta) district and other repre
sentative Southern congressmen look
upon tho proposed protective duty on
raw cotton as a joke, according* to
news received here today. But the
"joker" as they see it, Is a double-
endor. The tariff will not Berve to
procure nny additional market for
the Southern farmers’ cotton, but It
will serve as an excuse to Increase
the schedule lor - the manufactured
cotton goods.
Congressmen from the cotton states
i*. is reported here today, ore almost
solid In their opposition to the duty.
Outlining the position of the minor)
ty democratic representation from
the South, Georgia congressmen de
clared the “Iniquity of the proposal
was glaringly apparent,’ ’in view of
the statement of Representative
Green, of Iowa, ranking Republican
member of the ways and means com-
mitee, that It could not increase the
price paid the farmer for his prod
uct. According to Georgia congress
men, “the only excuse for the tax was
to enable Republicans to Increase the
duty on cotton goods."
Georgia congressmen, in discussing
the Fordney tariff bill, say that amidst
so many jokers in the measure, H la
well nigh Impossible to point
which is the superlative one, but cor
tainly tne proposition to put a duty
on raw cotton—when none la Import
ed and the treasury can derive no
duty thereby—Is at least as great as
any. p
“To bring it immediately home to
the. cotton farmer, a duty on raw cot
ton will give nothing by way of in
crease in price, but it will be made
the excuse for ralgjng the duty and
therefore the price upon everything
made of cotton which he has to buy,”
says one report given out here.
"XACT POSITION OF
AUSTRALIA ON WORLD
MAPS IS QUESTIONED
Sydney, N. & W., July 27.—Aus
tralia’s exact position on world maps,
orglnaliy determined by Captain
James Cook, the' early explorer, was
brought Into question recently when
wireless authorities, after direct check
ing by radio with standard time clocks
at Lyons, France, said they believed
there is an error of perhaps 100 yards
on all maps In Australia’s north-south
lines.
Seafarers who first sketched Aus
tralia's posltloq based their calcula
tions on the chronometer, the finely
made wctch which keeps Greenwich
time. Corrections were made from
time to. time, nntll final checking ity

The dally routine consists mostly of
building trays on which to lay the
cocoanuts, they related. These trays
are about 100 feet long and three feet
wide and day after day the nuts are
gathered, gouged and left open in the
•un to dry.
The little colony keeps a close
watch on the weather, for an hours -
shower may spoil a lot of copra,
rain and thunder storms appear to he
fairly regular visitors at Palmyra,
weather forecasting has become an im
portant factor in the work.
The Islands of the groups are so
close together that the Mings and

aqother, always, however, with a
wary eye out for sharks. |
Fish arc plentiful and furnish much:

bird dinner varies the monotony. ' 1
Shoes soon became a problem. They |
thought they had a plentiful supply,
but wet weather and heavy tramping
quickly wore down their stock and
the three Palmyrans have been
"building" their own footwear for
some time from the rough material
provided by nature.
Palmyra Islands, which have been
leased for their copra by a Honolulu
syndicate, are the property of Henry
E. Cooper, who is said to have bought
them from their English owners for
9750 and brought them under the
Americun flag.
Never In the history of the autotnobile business
has' the truth of this saying been proved so con
clusively as in the case of STUDEBAKER cars
in the six months ending June 0, 1921.
451 NEW STUDEBAKER CABS
sold retail in New York - City in the month of
June, 1921. An increase of 450 per cent over the
month of June J920.
The fact that this remarkable increase in sales
was made in A BUYERS' MARKET where a
most rigorous inspection and comparison of val
ues is made by prospective buyers, is positive
proof that STUDEBAKER CARS are the best
values to be had..

BERMUDA TO PREVENT
LIQUOR SMUGGLING TD
THE UNITED STATES
i
Hamilton, Bermuda, July' 12—.By |
Mail.)—The Colonial Parliament has
Just passed a special law to prevent
liquor smuggling from Bermuda to the
United States. Anyone putting Intoxi
cants aboard a vessel hound to Ameri
can ports Incurs a fine of £25 and
the penalty for a second offense is
£50. Local dealers who ore found
to be in connivanco with tho law
breakers are penalized and may be
deprived of their license.
This law, which is now In effect,
was brought about, thanks to the reck
less manner of carrying on illicit op
erations during the past year. Not
only were hiding places for "booze"
in all parts of the ships utilized, but
the smugglers went so far as to open
up barrels of potatoes In the bold and
Insert whiskey bottles.
Discovery of- this practice led to an
outcry from local produce shippers
who foresaw Interference with their
deliveries entailing delay and money
losses. The Berumdlans were con
cerned over the possibility of having
the liners held up at New York by
Federal ageuts to the peril of legiti
mate trade and the Interruption ot
tourist traffic, on which local prosperi
ty so largely depends.
The recent capture, off the Caroltua
coast, of a schooner with forty-flva
barrels of whiskey loaded here at St
Georges, also had Its effect In bason
ing legislation.
