EUROPE CAN BUY
LITTLE COTTON
So Says Burleson, Until
Countries Check
Money Presses
BERLIN, July 16.—(8y Associat
ed Press.) —A. S. Burleson, former
United States postmaster general,
who has returned to Berlin after in
vestigating the commercial, industrial
and financial conditions of Poland,
Austria and Czecho-Slovakia, is of
the opinion that there is little hope
of selling Europe large quantities of
cotton and other raw materials un
til Germany and other countries of
Central Europe balance their bud
gets and make definite arrangements
to discontinue the issuance of paper
money and to retire that currency
until its volume is only three times
that of their gold reserves.
"I can’t see any indication that the
statesmen of Central Europe are fac
ing their problems frankly and try
ing to formulate plans which get at
the fundamental problems and might
insure the resumption of the indus
tries and the renewal of the export
trade,” said Mr. Burleson. “It is not
reasonable to talk about foreign
loans to Central Europe as long as
printing presses ; continue to
pour out papep. money without any
gold guarantee or any prospect that
it will be retired.
“Germany is in far better condi
tion than the other countries of Cen
tral Europe, and I personally believe
Germany would improve its exchange
situation very speedily if it would
stop issuing paper money and levy a
tax over a period of 10 years to
guarantee its retirement of and the I
creation of a larger gold reserve. I
Foreign bankers want to see definite
plans before they take a chance on
the countries of Central Europe.”

FIGHT PICTURES CROSS U.S.
IN 48 HRS.-HERE’S THRILLER
One of the marvels of the age is
the speed with which news and news
pictures are transmitted. One of the
: greatest feats in newspaper history
was that accomplished by the News
paper Enterprise Association, with
which tlie Timer-Recorder is affiliat
ed, in supplying photos of the prize
fight of Dempsey and Carpentier
July 2 to its nearly 40 J members
ncwspapt rs.
The quick time in which these
pictures were printed by the Times-
Kecorder was a local marvel. The
fight began Saturday afternoon at
3:16 o'clock at Jersey City, N. J., a
short distance from New York City.
The result was published in the
Times-Recorder’s Saturday afternoon
editions. In its next regular edition
Monday afternoon four different
views of the fight were printed.
Real speed was required to accom
plish this feat, both in New York and
in Americus. But the real marvel oc
curred when the same pictures were
printed the same afternoon in San
Francisco. The pictures were trans
ported by a combination of motor
cycle, special trains and airplanes.
H<re is the story, furnished by a
staff man of the N. E. A., which
reads, like a chapter in the thrilling
est thriller on the screen ever con
ceived.
Jack Dempsey knocked out Geor- i
g.'s Carpentier at 3:31 Saturday af
ternoon, July 2, in the great arena
at Jersey City.
And at 12:16 Monday afternoon,
about 48 3-4 hours later, the News
paper Enterprise Association, by
means of special airplanes, a special
train and the United States air mail
service, delivered pictures of the
knockout in San Francisco.
Four N. E. A. camera men, under
Bob Dorman, chief N. E. A. pho
tographer, snapped shutters, while the
referee was counting the the toll ov
er the prostrate body of Carpentier.
Four couriers carried t.he plate hold
ers to four waiting motor cyclists
outside the arena. These machines
rushed the plates to the airplane land
ing field a mile away, where they
were packed in wooden boxes and bur
ried aboard three Curtiss Oriole air
planes. one piloted by R. IL Depew,
Jr., manager of the Curtiss ’Flying
Field at Garden City, Long Island,
another by John M. Miller and a
third by \V esl< y L. Smith, a United
States airmail pilot. Miller wa.- to
carry his plates to Bellefonte, Pa.,
where they were to be transferred
to another Curtiss Oriole piloted by
E. M. Ronne, manager of the Cur
tiss field at Buffalo.
POWER BILLS i
TO BE POSHED
i
To Go To Floors Os As-'
sembly, Despite Com
mittee.
ATLANTA, July 15.—That the
waterpower bills, sponsored by the
Municipal League of Georgia, will be
pressed in both branches of the gen
eral assembly, despite the fa-t that
the house committee on constitutional
amendments has adversely reported
both measures, is the statement made 1
by Marion Jackson, attorney for the
league, and one of its most active .
members. These two measures, in
troduced simultaneously in both 1
houses, would permit municipalities
to construct, acquire and operate hy
dro-electric power plants, issuing
bonds of not more than 7 per cent of
their tax valuations.
The house committee on constitu- ■
tional amendments acted on the bills
Wednesday afternoon at a hearing
during the course of which several
speakers appeared on both sides. The
vote of the "committee was not an
nounced, as the adverse action was
taken in executive session.
The opening argument before the
committee was made by Mr. Jackson,
who pointed out that 179 municipali
ties in Georgia have asked for the
enactment of the Municipal League
bills. He declared that in the Prov
ince of Ontario, Canada, the munici
pally-owned and operated hydro-elec
tric plants have wrought a revolution
in economic affairs and have done
much to develop the rural as well as
the urban sections.
Judge W. A. Covington, of Moul
trie, made the point that the Muni
cipal League bills cannot be consid- ’
ered as “bolshevistic,” since they are
based on the principle that enables
the state of Georgia to own the West
ern and Atlantic railroad.
Discussing the objection that the
state constitution of 1877 prohibits
the issuance of municipal bonds to
more than 5 per cent of tax valuation,
Judge Covington declared that this
limitation was imposed at a time
when carpet-baggers from the north,
together with negro legislators then
in power in Georgia, had impoverish
ed the state by prodigal expenditure
of state and municipal funds. This
danger is now eliminated, said
Judge Covington.
Sneaking against the bills, Preston
Arkwright, of th.e Georgia Railway
and Power Co., discussed the techni
cal difficulties in the way of munici
pal ownership of public utilities and
declared that the Ontario system af
fords results inferior to those obtain
ed under private ownership in Geor
gia.
