To sit back after a good meal and know there is not going to be sour risings, gas, drowsiness and discom fort is the logical result of using Stuabt’s Dyspepsia Tablets immedi ately after eating. Most people be- Heve they can trace each attack of indigestion to the something they ate and can still “taste.” And it sur prises them, invariably, to note how fuickly relief comes after using, one or two of these tablets. Whether it is highly seasoned food, rich pastry, the heavy, hearty foods or some one particular offender the relief comes just the same. Those who are sus ceptible to attacks of indigestion or dyspepsia should try Stuart’s Dys pepsia Tablets as they supply the stomach with an alkaline effect just as it does naturally when it is work ing in a perfectly healthy condition.

BIRTHS IN NATION SHOW INCREASE FOR TWO MONTHS / NEW YORK, March 11.—The cen sus bureau in Washington is pub lishing vital statistics for 1920 as fast as they can be compiled, but information gathered indicates that the enumerators will never catch up with th® population. Reports from cities throughout the country showed a general increase in births during the first two months of this year, compared with the cor responding period of last year. This increase was practically uniform in all sections. Milwaukee and Seat tle were the only places to report a decrease. Adoptions, wherever figures were available, generally showed even a greater ratio of increase than births. Many cities reported a commensu rate decrease in the nuniber of ba bies abandoned by their parents. The desire of mothers who cannot sup port their babies to assure a good hp'me for them, rather than trust to the comparative uncertainty of an institution, has been evinced through several instances of babies being “auctioned off” in some cases even before birth. Persons 'adopt ing babies generally want them ex tremely young. Girls appear to have a slightly better chance than boys of obtaining foster parents. New York reported 22,535 births this year, compared with 21,165 last year. Foster parents usually prefer girl babies one year of age or un ,der Negro Is Electrocuted In Kentucky Prison EDDYVILLE, Ky., March 11.—Pe trie Kimbrough, alias Will Lockett, convicted slayer of Geneva Hardman and confessed slayer of four other women, died in the electric chair at Eddyville prison at 4:32 a. m. this morning. Guards appeared at Kimbrough’s cell in death row at 4:14 a. m., and immediately escorted the negro to the chair house. There were slight signs of emotion in his face as he was placed in the electric chair and the black cap lowered over his head. Prisoner Electrician Collier turned on the current which killed Kim brough within fifteen seconds. Two brothers of the Hardman girl and seventeen Lexington citizens, to gether with eight soldiers and twelve prison guards, witnessed the execu tion, which apparently was carried out without a hitch in pre-arranged plans. The negro refused to make a state ment when he was taken from his cell. Continually, however, during the night he was heard praying aloud and singing religious hymns. He de clared yesterday that he wan ready to die and that he prayed for the lit tle ten-year-old Hardman girl wnom he killed, and the errtire Hardman family.

Chicago Chief of Police Promises to Rid City of Crime CHICAGO, March 11. —Entire con trol of the police department today passed into the hands of John J.

There are bua few prisoners here. SENATOR SMITH ' STILL HOPES FOR PACT ADOPTION (The Atlanta Jr.urnal News Bureau) 623 Riggs Building. BY THEODORE TILLER WASHINGTON, March 11.—Few Democratic senators were optimists today concerning ratification of the treaty. Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, was an exception, and an nounced that he would not abandon the fight for compromise until the senate had actually beaten the treaty once more. Senator Simmons, of North Caro lina, co-author of the so-called Wat son-Simmons compromise, which was finally rejected by the Republicans Tuesday after they had shown an ap parent willingness to accept it, was low spirited and gloomy. The Wat son-Simmons subsitute follows, with some slight changes in phraseology, a compromise reservation on article ten which Senator Smith suggested five months ago. “You may record me as still hope fil of treaty ratification,” said Sena tor Hoke Smith today. “I shall re fuse to abandon efforts until I know all opportunities have been lost and the senate actually votes to reject the treaty. It seems hard to believe that some agreement may not be reached on compromise reservations that will enlist sixty-four votes. In common with Senator Simmons and other Democrats, we have worked for several days on Republicans to get a satisfactory substitute. Per sonally I shall continue these efforts and I still remain hopeful, although the situation has been somewhat dis couraging.” t Senator Smith recalled that he and Senator Simmons and other Demo cratic negotiators, had been assured of twent-eight to thirty votes in fa vor of the substitute reservation to article ten, when the Republican leaders unexpectedly kicked over the traces and withdrew all offers to ne gotiate further. Republicans Back Out Republican leaders, after leading the administration forces up to the mountain tops and showing them the fields of promise lying below, un expectedly marched down the hill again and served notice on the Dem ocrats that the majority would not compromise. This notice stunned the hopeful Democrats who had been able to count as many as thirty Dem ocrats who would vote for the so called Watson-Simmons compromise reservation. Another ultimatum from the ir reconcilable Republicans, who sent word to Senator Lodge demanding that he be unyielding, and a final decision by Senator Lodge himself that he would not stand for the substitute reservation, were the un derlying causes of the Republican decision to call off the negotiations. Senator Overman saw no rift of sunshine in the treaty clouds. As a Democrat who has voted with the administration throuv’mut, and who, too, was hopeful of some agreement in the closing hours of the treaty debate, Mr. Overman regretfully said late today that the deadlock seemed more unbreakable than ever. “It looks hopeless to me,” said Senator Overman. “The Republicans have withdrawn all promises of a get-together and I see practically no promise of agreement.” Senator Glass, of Virginia, another administration Democrat, succinctly said: “If there has been any improve ment in the situation I have not no ticed it.” Average Man Mystified With the opposing factions so far apart the average man, in all prob ability, will wonder why after read ing and comparing the proposed sub stitute for the Lodge reservations, J and the Lodge reservation itself. | Texts published below, about; which there is such radical division J in the senate, doubtless will mean. about the same to the “milk man in I Omaha,” or Atlanta, or any other place. Why the Republicans should, kick over the Watson-Simmons sub stitute because it is alleged to be so different from the Lodge reser vations perhaps will remain a mys tery to him. Once before, the Republicans dash ed the hopes of the Democrats after almost agreeing to a compromise on' the Lodge reservations to article ten. This was in the bi-partisan confer ences. When the conference adjourn ed one night, Democrats believed agreement in sight. The next morn ing the Republican members, after lhe memorable conference between Senator Lodge and the irreconcil ables, gave notice that the confer ences were off. On a somewhat broadened scale, the latest notice from the Republican side was sen ate history repeating itself. The .Watson-Simmons compromise, so-called, was worked out by Sena tors Watson, Kellogg and McNary, (.publicans, and Senators SimmonJ, Overman, Hoke Smith 4 and other Democrats. In substantially the same form, it was sponsored by Sen ator Simmons as a member of the bi-partisan conference. The Compromiee Proposal The compromise, which had been tentatively accepted by the Repub licans, read as follows: “The United States assumes no obligations to employ its military or naval forces, its resources or any form of economic discrimination to preserve the territorial integrity or political independence of any other country, or to interfere in contro versies between nations, whether members of league or not, under the provisions of article ten, or to em ploy the military or naval forces of the United States under any article of the treaty for any purpose, unless in any particular case the congress, in exercise of full liberty of action, shall by act or joint resolution so declare.” The above is the reservation which the North Carolina senators told Senator Watson could receive twen ty-eight Democratic votes already polled. In addition, Senator Sim mons promised two unpolled votes, making thirty minority to join with the majority on ratification. War Claims Board to Be Dissolved in June WASHINGTON, March 11.—Hav ing disposed of 24,000 uncompleted contracts for munitions and supplies, the war department claims board, •reated for this work after the ar mistice, will be disbanded the end of next June, Secretary Baker an nounced today. To fulfill the 24,000 contracts would have cost the government nearly $2,500,000, Mr. Baker said, while the adjustment has been made for $304,000,000. Claims arising out of the contracts to the number of about 3,300 remain, but jt is be lieved these will have been settled by July. Pershing to Inspect Panama Defenses WASHINGTON, March 11.—Gener al Pershing will leave about March 25 for the Panama Canal Zoe to inspect the military defenses there. This will constitute the last lap of his inspection tour of the nation's military posts. He will bc> away two or three weeks. Ice Puts Hose Cart Out of Commish ■ M \.

Let Hoover's Name Go On the Ballot, Declares Editor Rowe, of Athens BY ROGERS WINTER, (Staff Correspondent of The Journal.) ATHENS, Ga., March 11.—Hoover supporterb are so numerous in Ath ens that all you have to do is to stand on a street corner in the down town district and stop them as they come by. Undoubtedly the former food administrator would carry Clarke county if his name were al lowed on the ballot of the prefer ential primary. The situation here furnishes an Interesting commehtary on the ac tion of the sub-committee in ruling him off the ballot on the ground that he is not a Democrat. Probably it will be conceded that no community in the state is more intelligent or patriotic than this. Here in the en virons of the University of Geor gia has been developing for genera tions an atmosphere of public spirit, of intelligent citizenship, of culture and refinement, of staunch democ racy. Certainly there is no local constituency in Georgia b.etter Qual ified to pass upon the democracy of Herbert Hoover than are the voters of this city and county. And against the.action of the sub-committee on rules of the Democratic state execu tive committee, barring Hoover from the ballot because, in effect, the Democrats of Georgia have no busi ness to vote for him, is ranged an overwhelming sentiment here that Hoover’s democracy is perfectly sound and that his availability is far superior to that of any other candidate the Democratic party’could nominate. One of Hoover’s staunchest sup porters here is Judge Andrew Cobb, whose father was the famous Howell Cobb, Democratic speaker of the national house of representa tives. Judge Cobb has served on the supreme court of Georgia with eminent distinction. During the war he was a clarion-voiced leader in every patriotic enterprise and the in veterate enemy of disloyalty and slackerism He is satisfied with Hoover’s democracy and is deeply aroused over the action of the sub committee in barring him from the primary. Hugh Bowe’s Position Editor Hugh Rowe, of the Athens Banner, who has had several edi torials criticizing the action of the subcommittee, was interviewed by The Journal correspondent. "I am for Palmer,” he said. “I came out for him before the sub committee ruled Hoover off the bal lot. But, nevertheless, I think the subcommittee’s action is an outrage ous piece of petty politics. What I have had to say about the subcom mittee’s action is in no way personal concerning the members of the sub committee. They are all nice fellows and friends of mine, but they made a serious mistake, and it has done the party no good. Hoover sentiment is very strong here, and the people •resent the action of the subcommit tee. We ought to have a meeting of the whole state executive commit tee, and let them h?ar from a dele gation of Democrats representing those who wish to place HOover’s name upon the ballot, and decide the question as it ought to be decided. Although, as I say, Palmer is my choice, I believe in fair play. If the Democrats of Georgia wish to choose Hoover as their preference, let them do it. They are entirely capable of exercising a sound political judg ment. If they are not. then we ought ! I . ■ I -If—S—— A .. -===■ 1 TH SUGAR 4ic A LB.

Shackleford, a promi nent Athens lawyer and one of the leaders in the American Cotton as sociation, is just ba6k from Arkansas and other western States in the in terest of the association. “I was astonished to find such a general sentiment for Hoover in that part of the country,” he told The Journal correspondent. His brother, Frank Shackleford, is one of the most enthusiastic Hoover supporters in the state, and one of the severest critics of the action of the sub-committee. Harry Hodgson’s Views Harry Hodgson is one of the lead ing business men of this section of the state. He is for Hoover, out spokenly and emphatically. He is outraged over the action of the committe, which, as he says, amounts to complete disfranchisement, so far as he Is concerned. “Do we want to elect a Democrat ic president?” said he, discussing the matter with The Journal correspond ent. “Do we want to keep the con trol of the government in Demo cratic hands? Do we want to put new life, new power and new en thusiasm in the Democratic party? Certainly we do. Then how shall we go about it? Is there any better way to do it than by electing a Demo cratic president? If there is, I would like for the sub-committee to tell me what it is. “No president, either Democratic or Republican, has ever been elected by a mere calling of the roll of the members of his party, and none ever will be. The independent vote is always? the deciding factor in a presidential election. This year that vote is a great deal more numerous and a great deal more independent than ever before. A strict party vote wille'not win this year for General Wood as the Republican nominee, or for anybody nominated by the Demo cratic party. “Certainly the Republicans haven’t any idea in the back part of their heads of nominating Hoover. Why, because his identification is very de cidedly with the Democratic admin istration. He is in away a member of President Wilson’s cabinet. He came out of the war with the most brilliant reputation of any ihan in any country. If his political princi ples were in accord with the Republi can party, I have no doubt they would nominate him. But they are not in accord with what the Republicans stand for. They embody the very essence of democracy. It is gen erally conceded everywhere that Hoover will command a larger sup port among the independent vote than afiy other candidate we could nomi nate. If we want to win, let’s nom inate him. If we want to lose, let’s put up a politician who represents nothing but partisanship, and kiss the presidency good-bye.” Petition For Hoover Mr. Hodgson is preparing to launch a petition addressed to the subcommltee requesting them to rescind their action with reference to Hoover and permit the Democrats of Georgia a free and untrammeled expression. It was his intention to start the petition two weeks ago, but he had to go to New York on busi ness and has just got back. “I am satisfied- I can get a thousand names signed to it without any difficulty,” said he. SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1020. CLARK DECLINES USE OF NAME IN PRIMARIES HERE (The Atlanta Journal News Bureau) 623 Riggs Building. BY. THEODORE TILLER WASHINGTON, March 11.—One more candidate is dropped from the presidential primary ballot in Geor gia by the letter sent to Secretary Gardner, of the state commitee, by former Speaker diamp Clark, of Mis souri. It is known that Mr. Clark feels .that if he should enter the Georgia primaries he wtttld be under a sort of obligation to ®nter other states, and Mr. iClark wants uninstructed delegations to San Francisco. He is also averse to having his name go on the Georgia ballot when he is unable to go to that state and make a cam paign. In other words, Mr. Clark does not want his name on the Geor gia ballot unless he gets actually into the running and makes a fight for the delegation from Georgia and this he is not inclined to do. Letter to Gardner Mr. Clark’s views were expressed in the following' letter to Hiram L. Gardner, of Eatonton, secretary of the Georgia Democratic committee: “I am profoundly grateful to my Georgia friends who have suggested that my name should be placed on the ticket at the preferential presi dential primary. ! “My own opinion is that it is best ■ not to do that. In my judgment the ■ San Francisco convention should be absolutely a consulting body to do two things: t “1st —Adopt a thoroughly Demo cratic platform made of time-tried and fundamental Democratic prin ciples progressive and up-to-date; “2d—On such Democratic platform nominate the ablest and most thor ough-going Democrat that can be found. “No man will decline a presiden tial nomination tendered freely by a great party, for the presidency of the United States is not only the most powerful office known to our political system, but the greatest ever devised by the wit of man. It should not be bestowed on any man to grati fy his personal ambition but solely for the good of the country; for the only reason for a political party is to-promote the prosperity, the hap piness and glory of the American people; so believing, I think it -would be fortunate for both the party and the country if all the delegates to San Francisco should go uninstruct ed so as to be free after consulta tion to agree on the best men pos sible for president and vice presi dent on a platform thoroughly Demo cratic in every plank. “The record of the Democratic ad ministration and the Democratic con gress is beyond all praise. On it we stand and on it we should win to the end that the national and state governments shall be maintained in their full constitutional vigor and that law and order may prevail every where under our flag. But even if we should fail with such a plat form and such candidates, our party would emerge from the contest in splendid fighting trim for future con flicts.” Alexandria, Virginia, Shows Population of 18,060 in New Census WASHINGTON, March 11.—Popu lation statistics for 1920 issued to day by the census bureau included: Alexandria, Va., 18,060, an increase of 2,731, or 17.8 per cent over 1910. Alexandria is one of the cities which was among the country’s fifty principal cities when the first census was taken in 1790. In that year it had 2,748 inhabitants. Its largest growth was in the following decade when the increase was 80.9 per cent. Say Two Boys Are Guilty of 30 Thefts LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 11.—In the arrest of ten young boys, Louis ville police believed today that they have the perpetrators of more than thirty robberies in this city in the last few weeks. The boys with their “captain,” Glenn Hammond, ten years old, were taken into custody on a charge of stealing articles from an automobile.
