W N. U, ATLANTA. NO. 22-1 U& STATE CONVENTION ELECTS DELEGATES SMITH AND WATSON MEN ARE SELECTED PALMERITES . ALSO NAME DELEGATES • » STATE NEWS 0F INTEREST 1 Condensed Statement of Interesting Events and Happenings Throughout State. Atlanta.. Although the business ! transacted by ihc presidential prefer | once convention was slow anti tedious i In its progress, when reduced to wrl ; ling It is not so very lengthy. It con | gist -of three main features, to-wit: ]. The election of William J. Ve !r< en of Moultrie, as Democratic na tional committeeman from Georgia to succeed (Turk Howell of Atlanta, who hit-, held the position twenty-five years. 2. The adoption of resolutions op posing tin- League of Nations brought back front Versailles, opposing a third lertti nomination for President Wlson and making other pertinent declara tion* 3. The election of a delegation to San Francisco composed of support er of Hoke Smith and Thomas K. Watson, after ati offer by the Hoke Smith floor leaders to divide the dele gation into three equal parts had been rejected by tin* Palmer leaders. The convention started at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. It finished just be fore midnight. A few minutes after adjournment, and after the Smith and Watson delegates had left the Atlanta theater, tile Painter delegates named by the Palmer caucus Monday night and voted down when presented to the convention, held a short confer ■nee in the theater and decided to go to San Francisco and contest the Iniilh Watson delegation. They also decided, if seated at Frisco, to re elect Clark Howell to the national committee. As everyone expected, the conven tion paid no attention to rule ten passed by the Democratic slate exec utive committee, providing tlial the delegates to San Francisco should lie selected from the supporters of the candidate receiving the highest coun ty unit vote In the primary. The con vention proceeded as a sovereign in all matters before It, und not as the crea lure of the state committee. Tt seat ed its own members, made its own of ficers, adopted its own platform, elect ed its own delegates to Shn Francisco and expressed its own voice in the matter < f the national committeeman. Contest Delegation. The net result of the whole mat ter Is just litis: There will go to San Francisco a delegation composed of Smith and Watson supporters, elected by majority vote of tin- convention and sent without Instructions as to the Democratic presidential nomina tion, and this delegation entitled to seats on the floor of the national con vention; while there will go as a rival delegation the one elected by the rump convention held in the aisle of the Atlanta theater after the main convention had adjourned. The convention delegates, elected Tuesday night will claim that they are the regular delegates, regularly elected m accordance witli custom, precedent and law; that the state committee was without authority to make any rule to govern a conven tion. because a convention is u sov ereign; that though rule ten attempt ed to direct the naming of delegates for tile plurality candidate, another rule provided that the convention should nutm* the delegates, and that Its authority was superior to the au thority of the state committee. Zeliulon Vance Peacock of llaw kinsvllle, a former slate senator and a prominent lawyer and business man. was. elected temporary chair man, and E. B. Moore, clerk of the Georgia house of representatives, was elected temporary secretary at the morning session. Robbers Grease Track Hold Up Train Atlanta. Southern freight train ! No. S 3. the Atlanta to Greenville. | known as the “short merchandise | train,“ was held up at Ottley station. ! near Buckhead. b> the time-honored ! method of greasing the rails on a grade When the big locomotive stall ed to a halt, a party of robbers broke into a In x car near the rear of tlie train, and. while the crew were trying to get the train started, looted the cai of a quantity of tobacco. The crew was absorbed in trying to discover and reiued) the cause of the cessation of traffic, and did not see what was com- I ing off near the rear of the train. But j Conductor Stovall, a Southern train official, living almost opposite the ; scene of the hold-up, saw several men | ha idy loading boxes into an uutotuo- I bile; which then departed in the direc ; tion of Chatublee. Mr. Stovall report ed the matter to the county police. 1 ■ - ' T-l Auditorium To Be Muscogee Memorial i Columbus. — A large auditorium to he erected at an expenditure of $25,- 000 has been decided upon as the most suitable memorial to the Mus cogee county fighters who made the supreme sacrifice in the World War.

State Currents Are To Be Connected Atlanta. Hydroelectric current j generated In Alabama and that gen 1 i rated in Georgia an- to be connected, according to announcement made in ■ Atlanta. The power of both states wii Ithus become electrically service-1 able in either state and in such quanti- j ties at given points in either state"as , is required for operation of i*dusthry. j Tin Alabama Power company and ! the Georgia Railway and Power com pany have entered into a contract by ; which a transmission line fifty-two miles in length wll connect the two : systems. This line will run from Gads den, Ala., to i,indale, Ga. Tlie current over this line will reach the system of the Alabama Power company at Gadsden, from which it will he transmitted to uther parts of the state as may be needed. The Alabama generated power will be transmitted to the Georgia system through connections at Lindale. Tlie combined hydro-electric power of the two states will thus become of service to each. When Alabama in dustries need more current than is I generated in Alabama, Georgia cur- : rent will he furnished. When the 1 Georgia watershed supplying Georgia ' water power supplies a small volume of water to turn the Georgia hydro- j electric turbines, Alabama’s Coosa I plan: may have a full head of water and be enabled to serve Georgia in dustries out of the surplus. Hydro-electric power may he shifted anywhere in tlie two systems through this combination. The connection I will tend to insure stabilization of hydroelectric current in the two states by a constant shifting the toad to points requiring it. Poor Children Healthier Than Rich Atlanta. Atlanta's children of the rich are not as healthy as. Atlanta’s lioor children brought up at a cost of less than ,‘!u cents a day, is the in ference drawn from a report of the American Red Cross, that out of six groups of Atlanta children examined for a Red Cross dietetics institute the children of the House for the Friend less were the healthiest of all and, ac cording to Dr. W. R. Emerson, noted Boston physician conducting the in stitute, are as healthy as any children he hds examined in the United Slates. Technically stated, the Home of the Friendless children showed only 18 per cent malnutrition, which was low er than any of the other five groups. One group -selected at random from j one of the city high schools—was as j high as 55 per cent. While another i group, ;ilso very high, was made up of children from a public school pa tronized almost exclusively of tlio well-to-do people of Atlanta. Par Clearance Rule Is Now Postponed Macbn. There will be no inter ference with the collection of ex change on bank checks cleared through non-member banks of the federal reserve system for months to come. That was made known at the closing session of tlie Georgia Coun try Bankers’ association here, when a telegram was read from Alexander W. King, counsel for the association, stating that Judge Beverly D. Evans, of the United States district court, had granted a continuance of a super sedeas in order that tlie question of | jurisdiction may be decided by the United States circuit court of appeals. The reading of the telegram was greet ed by cheers from the country bank; ers. Over 500 banks in Georgia, Ala bama, Florida, Mississippi. Louisiana! und Tennessee are parties to the ac tion which lias been brought for a per-' inanent injunction to restrain the fed-1 oral reserve bank from enforcing it#* par clearance order. Double Shooting Excites Columbus Columbus. As a result of two shoot ing affairs here. Patrolman Charles B. Harvey is dead and Willie Lee, an eight-year-old boy. is lying at the city ! hospital in a dangerous condition. I Patrolman Harvey was shot by Wil liam Maddox, u negro, shortly after the officer had arrested another ne gro on the charge of violating the pro hihtion law Both negroes escaped,; and Mayor J. L. Crouch authorized a j reward of SSOO for tlie cupture of Maddox. Miss Augustus Howard, a woman residing on the Talhottou road, fired on the little Lee boy. when she found him in tier magnolia tree. Dan ! Lee. two years the senior of Willie, | was also fired upon, according to the ! statement of the two brothers. Miss , Howard was sent to the jail, where she will be held pending the outcome of the little fellow's injuries which, the hospital attaches believe, will prove fatal.

S. Mexico City.—The deail and. reports f-ay, mutilated bodies of Venustiano I and those of his faithful followers as . s:«ssinated with him, have cast a pall i of worry and uncertainty over the cap ital. Vigorously gesticulating, the revo lutionary leaders disclaim any and all : responsibility for the brutal act that | resulted in the first chief’s death at i Tlaxacalantongo. The most detailed | information is being prepared for dis ! patch to tho American state depart- I merit, showing that revolutionary j forces were nowhere near the Car j runza fugitives when the slaying oc | curred. And it is likely that Gen : erals Gonzales and Obregon will deal J summarily with Gen. Rodolpo Herre | ro, who, according to present advices, : was the man responsible for the whole sale assassinations. While details of the assassination are still lacking, the dispatches, in cluding an apparently authoritative version telegraphed to El Universal from lieristan, would indicate that the first chief and his faithful followers w*ere murdered while they slept, and, followin gthe killings, the bodies of the dead were slashed with machetes. As to the whereabouts of Herrero, reports differ. One report says he is unmolested at Villa Juarez, under sur veillance until the revolutionary gov ernment has completed an inquiry in to the murders. A second declares he is in full flight with the revolutionary forces in pursuit. Gencs-al Aguilar, another of the Car ranza followers, is reported to have surrendered at Vera Cruz and receiv ed permission to embark on a ship for Europe. Evidences of sorrow in many quar ters at the death of the first chief ! were manifested by flags at half mast ! and people calling at the Carranza home during the day. The foreign diplomats, including those at the Amer ican embassy, paid their respects to j the dead chieftain both in calls and in i j lowered flags over the embassies.

The temple, whose halls it decked, was christened the Purple Sand temple and is now restored and called the Merciful Light hall. At that time, says the North China Herald, hundreds of priests came to I the mountains, and there was a period of Buddhist prosperity.
