should be enacted into law im medi
ately.
Chairman Hull, of the military af
fairs committee, was in conference
with him today over that lagialalien
and stated afterward that he believed
it would be passed.
It was recently reoornmeadad by the

Savannah, Ga., July 7.—A teat case
will be made here at once to determine
the right of the Southern Express

A number of members of the board

pelled to pay it.
A member of the board of trade will
