GEORGIAN'S RESOLUTION TO IN
VESTIGATE TRADE INTER
FERENCE STARTED 1T
LODGF ASKED FOR WIDER SCOPE
And Contended That Human Lives
Are More Important Than Dollars,
Said American Citizens Should B~
Protecied Fivst,
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The long
expectel siorm in congress over the
administrai-cn's conduct of the de
fense of Amer.can rights on the seas
broke today when Senator [Hoke
Smith, democrat, demanded an inves
tigation of Great Britain's inierfer
ence with neutral trade and Senator
Lodge, republican, replied with a de
mand that an investigation include
the loss of American lives.
“The body of an innocent child,
floating dead on the water, the victim
of destruction of an unarmed vessel
is to me a more poignant and a more
tragic spectacle than an unsold bale
of cotton,” declared the Massachu
setts senator.
To Senator Smith's resolution for
an investigation of trade interference
Senator lL.odge, who is the ranking
mniority member of the foreign re
lations committee, offered an amend
ment for investigation of the law and
the facts in the submarine attack on
the Lusitania, Falaba, Hesperian,
Arabie, Gulflight and Ancona and of
the plots and conspiracies against the
neutrality of the United States to
which President Wilson referred in
unmeasured terms in his address to
congress Tuesday. ‘
Referred to Committee, |
Both resolutions were referred to]
the foreign relations committee,
upon which further action will de-|
pend. Their introduction served to
bring out the first debate of the ses
sion on a subject to which all minds
had turned.
Senators on both sides of the cham
bher were drawn into the discussjon,
which was precipitated by a vigorous
speech by Senator Smith in support ot |
his resolution. |
“I wish to extend the scope of the
resolution by my amendment,’” said
Senator Lodge, as the Georgia senator
concluded, ‘‘because if we are to takei
up this question of the violation‘ot
our rights I want to put it not¥on
the lowest ground alone, but on the
highest ground as well. I think it is
of great importance that we should
vindicate our rights as a mneutral in
trade if those rights have been vio
lated, but I think it is far more im-{
portant that we should extend protec
tion and assure security to American
citizems wherever they rightfully are,
for 1 do not believe that any govern
ment can long retain the respect of
its own people if it does not give them
the protection to which they are en-f
titled. |
Should Be Protected. :
“1 think Americans should be pro
tected in their lives and in their lib
erty everywhere. [do not think they
ought to be murdered in detail and
obscurely in Mexice or openly or
wholesale on the high seas.
“Although I am anxious as any onhe
can be to care for rights of trade if
they are violated, to me American
lives are more importaat than Amer
ican dollars. If this investigotion is
to go on and especially if congress is
to take action 1 want it to take in all
the violations of our rights that way
have occurred. The most important
is the violation which has affected
American lives or the security of an
American citizen—man, woman or
child—and the next most important
are those pointed out by the presi
dent of the United States in his mes
sage the other day when he referred
to the destruction of property accom
panied by destruction of life in the
United States and states that con
spiracies in alien interests are going
on within our own borders.
Should Not Be Omitted.

Senator Hoke Smith, replying to
Senator lL.odge, intimated that an ef
fort had been made to bury all ob
jections to interference with Ameri

and that some of this effort at least
had been influenced by profits from
the sale of ammunition.

[SOUTH GEORGIA YOUTH GIVES
! ILLUSTRATION OF JACK AND
THE BEAN STALK STORY
MOULTRIE, Ga.—The fond pa
irents of Henry Connelly, a Colquitt
'count_v vouth of the tender age of 14,
would be thankful for a remedy to
stop their son’s growth.
Harry's longitude at this date is 6
feet and 5 inches, and local specu
lators are making a book on what he
will register at the next measurement
to be taken Saturday night.
| Harry’s parents are distressed
‘about ‘Harry's clothing, which ap
pears to draw up on him almost as
soon as he gets into it. They buy
Harry a suit on Monday, say, and by
the end of the week he looks as if he
was in knee pants again. In the last
two years Harry, who was a perfect
ly normal infant and young boy, has
been giving a startling illustration of
the performance of the bean stalk set
out by the well known Jack of the
story books.
Harry weighs 200 pounds, and is
well developed, with every prospect
of becoming more so. One of the prob
lems is how to get him in a bed. It
was evident that the bed would have
to be lengthened or Harry abbrevi
ated, and, in fact, a special bed had
to be constructed to keep Harry from
dreaming he was a telescope being
shut up.

Jack-Pot nad Stud Games Among
Their Favorite Pastimes, Has
Become Public Scandal.
ATLANTA.—The rapid increase in
gambling among women in Atlanta,
and particularly among women who
are members of the church, is becom
ing the scandal and despair of 2 num
ber of ministers whose eyes are open
to the true situation, and who admit
that it is apparently beyond their
power to cope with.
Not only, it is said, do the fair
ladies gamble for money at practicai
ly every afternoon bridge party, bul
both matrons and debutantes have al
so become adepts at poker and are
included as a matter of course in
jack-pot and stud games, which were
formerly regarded as the exclusive
prerogative of the males.
In fact, when it comes to poker
playing the men admic that a woman
who is expert at the game is more
ditficult to figure out than a man who
has been playing ten vears, and they
cite the cas® of a baby-faced, blue
eyed damsel in a reccht game on
Peachtree who passeg four quecns,
then raised the pot when it was open
eded, giving everybody the impres
sion she was drawing to a flush, and
then won a stack of blue chips as
high as a house from a poor misguid
ed mere man who had caught a third
jack to jacks and sixes. After that
the men are almost willing to agree
with the preachers that it is a very
wicked thing for an innocent young
lady to play poker.
400 HOUSES BURNED
AT HOPEWELL, VA.!
Town of Nearly 3,000 People Almost
as Bare as a Cornfield. Fire Start
ed by Oil Stove Toppling Over.
HOPEWELL, Va.-—The town of
Hopewell, swept by fire yesterday and
last night, was almost as bare today
as the cornfield in which its first
buildings were put up a year ago.
Four hundred houses, most of them
wood, constructed in feverish haste
to care for the influx of people who
‘were brought here by activities at the
;du Pont explosive plant, were licked
‘up by the flames. In the main part
of the town of 2,500 persons hardly
a building remained, though the
great explosive plant, nearby, and
company villages at either end of the
ltown escaped undamaged. The loss
gis put at nearly $2,000,000.
Although many people were injur
ed only one death was reported. A
negro caught looting was said to have
been strung up to a tree at the edge
of town.
I. The fire started in a restaurant
when an oil stove toppled over from
a box in the kitchen. A hotel caught
next and soon the flames, driven by
stiff winds, were eating their way
through banks, stores, hotels and
l dwellings.

actual boll weevil line, and the line |
‘ha.s been fixed as follows: It enters!
the state Newsville, Haralson c-ounl_\',l
;pa»:,ses through Tallapoosa and Bre
{meu, then through Bill Arp and
' Chapel Hill, in Douglas county;
'slightly north of Red Oak, in Camp
‘bell county; tunen turns southward’
and passes througn Brooks in Fay

and east of thunder in Upson; slight- |
ly east of Junction City, in Talboti
county, and a few miles east of Ella
ville, in Schley; slightly west of
Americus, in Sumter county, through
Philema, in Lee, through Shingler |
and east of Sumner, in Worth county, '
thence through Dosia, in Tift, just;
east of Valdosta, in Lowndes, and on
to the Florida line.
The 20-miles safety line will run
20 miles north and east on a parallel!
with the actual boll weevil line. ,
Transportation companies are noti- |
fied that under the ruling of the state ]
board of entomology on Nov. 26th, |
all uninfested territory placed under |
quarantine in October, and not in-!
cluded in the 20-mile safety zone, de-i
seribed above, will be released from |
the quarantine until further direc-|
tions from the department. |
Cotton seed, seed cotton, (‘-otton’v
seed hulls (except from January 1 to}
August 1), sacks used for seed cot
ton or cotton seed within the eightl
months, Spanish moss, corn in the |
shuck, or household goods containing'
any of the foregoing will not be per
mitted to move east or north from
the boll weevil territory or any point
within 20 miles from the boll weevill
line.
Oil mills out of infested territory,
but located within 20 miles of the
boll weevil line, will be permitted to
draw seed for crushing purposes from
all points, including territory infested
by the weevil in Georgia, Florida, Al
abama and Tennessee, but those mills
will not be permitted to ship cotton
seed hulls to any point more than 26
miles north or east of the actual boll
weevil line except between January
Ist and August Ist.

Grand Jury Refused to Indict Owners
Drug Stores and Restaurants.
| AMERlCUS.—Americus will prob
ably have the “lid off” on Sunday
hereafter, due to the fact that the
grand jury which adjourned this af
‘ternoon failed to return indictments
‘against Sunday sellers of soft drinks
and cigars.
.~ One prominent retail drug store
’kept open last Sunday and indict
'ments against the proprietors as well
‘as against the Greek restaurants sell
ing soft drinks were confidently ex
pected, but failed to materialize.
| In consequence a general opening
of the eight drug stores next Sunday
is rather expected.

COL. J M. SWIH DEAD;
' ' ’
WAS WORTH $4.000,000
WAS BACHELOR AND NEXT TO
RICHEST MAN IN GEORGIA.
A CONSPICUOUS FIGURE
SMITHSONIA, Ga.—Col. J. M.
Smith, the largest land owner in
Georgia and whose vast plantation in
Oglethorpe county was unique for its
manner of operation, died suddenly
'while seated at his dining iuble here
‘Saturday. He was 70 years of age,
‘and his wealth was reputed to be
‘about $4,000,000.
His idea was to make his estate as
free from the necessity of outside
‘purchase as possible. To gain this
‘end he erected fertilizer plants, grist
and oil mills and otherwise made his
plantation almost independent. Colo
nel Smith was a bachelor, and his
only near relative is a brother.
Colonel Smith's death was sudden.
Just as he was about to sit down to
his morning meal he was suddenly
|seized with an attack and passed
away with scarecly a word in a few
moments. Apoplexy caused his death.
i He was for some time past in bad
' health; a few weeks ago he returned
‘from Johns Hopkins hospital at Bal
"timore. where he was operated upon
'and received treatment for several
weeks. He reccvered gradually, and
‘was in average ‘health for the few
' weeks he had been at home since his
‘return.
' He is said to have been the second
' richest man in Georgia, and leaves an
'estate valued at four million dollars.
; He took a contract to furnish ties
for the old Georgia railroad and ac
'cumulated money, investing it in
‘lands, usually adjoining tracts he al
'ready had. From his first little farm
. bought in Oglethorpe county in 1866
' he accumulated lands till he owned
'more than 25,000 acres of as fine land
'as this section of the state affords;
later adding tracts in other sections
'of north and middle Georgia. In re
‘cent years he owned many valuable
| pieces of town property also, among
the lot many blocks in the business
section of the city of Athens. He
had mortgages to the extent of more
Ithan $lOO,OOO, it is said, on the Tab
ernacle property in Atlanta, on the
hospital and on Bessie Tift college.
