30 WOUNDED IN BAVARIAN CLASH
SALE OF FIELD IS AUTHORIZED
CRISP, HARRIS. GEORGE
SUCCEED lU ‘JAWING'
BILL THROUGH SENATE
Measure Sent To Harding For
Executive Approval Early
Today
PASSED HOUSE LAST NIGHT
Bill Gives Americus Valuable As
set To Induce Cotton Mills
To Locate Here
A wire from Congressman Charles
R. Crisp, received today just after
noon, states that the House and Sen
ate had passed a bill, which already
has gone to the president for his sig
nature, placing certain real estate be.
longing to the government in shape
for sale, among other parcels being
Souther Field, at Americus.
Congressman Crisp’s wire to The |
Times-Recorder is as follows;
Senate has just concurred in |
house amendment to government
real estate bill, which passes it
(the bill). The bill is being sent
to the president for his signature. i
, CHAS. R. CRISP.
This bill passed the senate two or
three days ago, was slightly amended
by the house last night, and the
amendment was ratiled by the sena'.e
today as stated above. t
v Congressman Crisp; with, the able
assistance of Senators Harris and
George, have literally “jammed” this
bill through the two houses of con
gress during the last days of the ses
sion, when the house and senate cal
endars were already crowded with im
portant legislation.
Th.e bill has lain in the hands of
the house military affairs committee
for some weeks. It is an administra.
toin meausre and could only be
brought out for action by the consent
of the Republican members of the
committee.
i Congressman Crisp’s inflhence with
j a number of leading Republicans
made It possible for him to get the
bill on its way to passage. But for
his untiring efforts, the bill undoubt
edly would have carried over for an
other year.
The passage of this bill places
Souther Field in shape for purchase
; for industrial purposes. The War
i Department soYne time ago decided to
close down the field here, largely, it
■ was said, because of its proximity to
' Camp Benning.
Undoubtedly congress will adjourn
coday or Monday, and but for the
actnn of Mr. Crisp and his colleagues
the field would have lain idle for an
other year or more.
Now that cotton mills are seeking
■ locations in the South, Americus has
■ a valuable asset in Souther Field, to
. induce industrial plants to locate in
i this immediate', neighborhood.

Os vital interest to farmers, rain :
insurers and the public generally, the
future state of the weather is always
in order.
From the third to the fifth will be
a storm period, according to the
weather prognosticator, which as
verified by our old almanac for
March, will be a storm period, sixth
to ninth, cold wave and more winds,
tenth to thirteenth warmer and
storms, fourteenth to sixteenth fair
and cold with heavy frosts, seven
teenth to nineteenth sudden change
to warmer and very stormy, twen
tieth to twenty-second fair and
much colde ? with more winds, twen
ty-third to twenty-fifth storm period,
twenty-sixth to twenty-eighth cold,
twenty-ninth to thirty-first warmer
and cloudy with showers in south
east.
Past rainfalls as obtained from
the local weather bureau man, J. M.
Bryan, is also of considerable inter
est as judging what we may expect
in the future. Mr. Bryan tells the
Times Recorder that the rainfall for
January and February this year Was
6.32 and 4.71 inches respectively.
The local weathe r man has gone
back over his records for last year
and has compiled by months the
rainfall in inches for each month,
totaling for the twelve months pe
riod 57.02 inches, which if it were
divided evenly throughout the

month would have been entitled to
4.75 inches of rainfall. The figures

Will Serve On Commission Fav
ors British Terms As Model,
Believed In Washington
■ WASHINGTON, March 3. For
i n appointment as a member of the
I foreign debt funding commission,
i Mr. Crisp was recommended to the
president by a Republican, Rep
i resentative Theodore Burton, of
; Ohio, anothe r member of the.com
i mission. He was also suggested by
Senator Harris. Mr. Crisp has stat-
led he would serve.
| The Georgia member will proceed
|to his home as. soon as congress ad
journ:; in accordance with his original
plans, and will return when inform
ed of a session of the commission to
consider funding the debts owed the *
United States by France, Italy, Bel
gium and other European countries. '
To the plan for the funding of the 1
English debt, Mr. Crisp gave ardent '
support, and in the opinion of his col- r
| leagues, rose above politics and en
tered the sphere of patriotism. Last
night, he declined to give an inter- !
view as to what he would do in at- 1
tempting to adjust other obligations, ■
but’ it may be stated confidently that '
he will favor giving- to other coun- !
tries terms as liberal as those given
to Great Britain, but no more lib
eral. 1
From what Mr. Crisp has said on <
the floor and in private conversa- i
tion it is understood that he will not
favor making any terms which would
permit any country to satisfy the |
debt it owes the United States by the ,
-pay-meai.«a£-any l®.ss than that repre- I
sented by the principal. Mr. Crisp
is an outstanding Democratic mem
ber of the ways and means com
mittee, and one of the ablest parlia
mentarians of the house.
