Atlanta.—At a called meeting of the
local trustees of Tallulah Falls school
and officers fo the Fifth district club,
held at the Woman’s club, It was de
elded to urge the club women of Geor
gla to the Immediate beginning of s
campaign for $50,000 to be Invested It
an adequate building program for T&l-
lulah Falls school and to pledge a*d-
herence to this program.
This action, which will doubtless be
followed by the club women of the
rest of the state, was talten as the re
suit of over crowded conditions at the
federation’s school which are said tc
be offering a serious handicap to its
usefulness.
Representatives of the Fifth District
club, who recently spent a day at Tal
lulah Falls, came back enthused by
the work of the school and convinced
of the Inadequacy of its equipment.
A bigger, and better Tallulah Falls
school has been largely the subpecl
of discussion in club circles of late.
The officers of the district in vot
ing adherence to the enlarged pro
gram were carrying out the instruc
tions to that effect embodied in a
strong set of resolutions passed at the
full district meeting at the falls in
May.
The largest single item of the pro
posed plan of extension is an admin
istration building.
This will supply all the school fa>
cilities, with a library, an auditorium,
a gymnasium and work shops, and
leave the present school building free
to be converted into an additional cot
tage home.
Miss Davis, principal of the Tallu
lah school, who is en route to Chautau
qua, where she will attend the bien
nial as the guest of the Fifth District
club, fjjpoke with great earnestness oi
the need of the building program and
much enthusiasm was aroused by the
announcement that Miss Davis wished
to contribute the first $500 to the $50,-
000 fund.
Mrs. C. K. Ayer announced her own
gift of a live scholarship at Tallulah
and presented Miss Davis with some
elaborate hanebwowen specimens ot
South American work to be used aa
samples in weaving.

OFFICERS ELECTED
BY OIL MEN HERE
: Atlanta.—Tho selection of Atlanta
as a permanent convention city and
the election of officers for both asso
ciations for the ensuing year featured
the closing session of the joint con
vention of the Interstate Oil Mill Su
perintendents’ Exhibitors’ association
at the auditorium.
Following are the officers elected
for the Interstate Oil Mill Superintend
ents' association: F. It. Eisenmann,
of Chester, S s C., formerly vice presi
dent, elected president to succeed R.
F. Rogers, of Unadilla, Ga.; J, H. Mor
gan, of Ozark, Ala., elected vice pres
ident to succeed Mr. EiBenmann, and
O. C. Taylor, of York, S. C., elected
secretary to succeed J. W. Coon, ol
Sanford, N. C. ■
All of the officers of the Oil Mill
Superintendents’ Exhibitors associa
tion were re-elected for another year
They are W. H. Camp, of Atlanta,
president; A. D. Kennedy, of Atlanta,
vice president and W. Frank Dodd, ol
Atlanta, secretary-treasurer.
The annual reportB of the officers,
which were to have been read to the
two associations, were dispensed with
because of the absence of Mr. Rogers,
the president, and Mr. Coon, the secre
tary.
One of the most attractive features
of the joint convention was an ex
hibit of modern and up-to-date oil ma
chinery arranged in the arena of the
auditorium. Many people from various
sections of the country expressed
themselves as highly pleased with the
elaborateness of this exhibit. There
were forty-five booths, representing as
many manufacturers of oil mill mach
inery and supplies in all parts of the
.United States.-
Washington —The soldiers’ bonus
bill was made by a vote of 52 to S
the special order of business cf the
senate immediately after the final vote
on the tariff bill, unless it is dis
posed of before that time.
Adoption of a motion to this effect
caft* after an all day fight at the
outset of which an effort to get the
bonus before the senate failed. Sev
eral senators gave formal notice'that
they would continue to press for ac
tion on the bonus ahead of tho tariff.
A move to upset the program of the
Republican majority calling for action
first on the tariff was launched by
Senator Walsh (Democrat) of Massa
chusetts, who made a formal motion
that the tariff bill be displaced by the
bonus measure. Senator Watson (Re
publican) of Indiana moved to lay this
motion on the table, and his motion
prevailed 51 to 22. Eight Democrats
supported the Watson motion and two
Republicans voted against it. The roll
call follows;
For the motion—Republicans: Borah,
Bursum, Calder, Cameron, Capper,
Cummins, Curtis, Dillingham, Du
Pont, Edge, Ernst, Ferald, France,
Frelinghuysen, Gooding, Harreld, Jones
of Washington, Kellogg, Ladd, Len-
root, Lodge, McCormick, McCumber,
McKinley, McLean, McNary, Moses,
Nelson, Newberry, Nicholson, Norbeck,
Oddie, Phipps, Poindexter* Shortridge,
Smoot, Spencer, Sterling, Sutherland,
Townsend, Wadsworth, Watson of In
diana and Willis—43. Democrats:
Dial, Glass, King, Myers, Pomerene,
Swanson, Underwood and Williams—8.
Total for: 51.
Against the motion—Republicans :
LaFollette and Norris—2. Democrats:
Ashurst, Broussard, Caraway, Culber
son, Gerry, Heflin, Hitchcock, Jones of
New Mexico, Kendrick, McKellar,
Overman, Robinson, Sheppard, Sim
mons, Smith, Stanley, Trammell,
Walsh of Massachusetts, Walsh of
Montana and Watson of Georgia.—20.
Total against: 22.
With the announcement of the re
sult of this vote the bonus row began
in earnest and waged for five hours.
In the midst of it Senator Watson of
Indiana offered a motion that the bo
nus be made a special order of busi
ness immediately after the final vote
on the tariff, and thereafter it be held
continuously before the senate unless
two-thirds of the senate voted to dis
place it.
A point of order made by Senator
Underwood of Alabama, Democratic
leader and an opponents of the bonus,
was sustained and the two-thirds vote
provision was withdrawn.
After a long discussion the motion
was further modified so that a mo
tion to proceed to the consideration of
the bonus would be in order at any
time. Some opponents of thejionus
supported this motion, but eight of
them cast their votes against it. They
were Dial, King, Myers and Williams,
Democrats, and Edge, Pepper and
Wadsworth, Republicans. Several op
ponents were absent.
Charges flew thick and fast during
the debate. They included assertions
that the delay in acting on the bonus
was for the purpose .of killing it; that
those who made millions out of the
war behind aa organized and exten
sive propaganda to defeat the measure
and that the Republican majority was
planning to use the bonus as a club
over the head3 of opponents of the
tariff measure to shorten debate' on
that bill.
