SENATE SPEECH WASHINGTON, April 24.—Prof iteers were denounced in the senate today by Senator Capper, Republican. Kansas, who presented statistics which he said showed that the earn ings of many American corporations represented profiteering "open, scan dalous and shameless.” Senator Capper attacked the de partment of justice’s cheaper meat campaign and said increased prices for sugar were “the most brazen challenge we have had in this satur nalia of greed.” Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wis consin, agreeing with the Kansas senator’s declaration that profiteer ing had become a national menace, said that Attorney General Palmer was "setting a few mouse traps around the country when he ought to be setting bear traps” to catch the big or millionaire profiteers. The administration was held responsible by Senator Lenroot for the increas ing sugar prices. Disagreement with the contentions of Senators Capper and Lenroot was expressed by Senator Thomas, Dem ocrat, Colorado, who said the sena tors were "complaining about condi tions instead of causes like a child who stumbles over a chair and then turns around and kicks Senator Capper said ample laws existed to check profiteering and that "if those charged with enforcement of these laws will see that profit hogs are sent to jail, prices will soon tumble.’ He added, that if law en forcement officers of the government could not enforce statutes they should resign and let men who could lake their places. Excessive margins of profit are proof of profiteering, Senator Cap per said, in presenting his list of corporations whose profits were placed at from 20 to 200 .per cent. The list of such corporations in cluded textile manufacturing con corns, steel companies, shoe and leather manufacturers and makers of nearly all of the staple commodi ties. .

Backing Closes in New Jersey NEW YORK, April 24.—The hard est-fought and most bitter pre-con vention battle in the presidential campaign to date was wound up in New Jersey tonight. The contest between Major Gen eral Leonard Wood and Senator Hi ram Johnson for the Republican in dorsement in the state’s primary Tuesday began several weeks ago and has daily gathered momentum, resulting in the most intensive po litical maneuvering that has yet de veloped. Senator Johnson’s friends regard New Jersey as the really "pivotal state” for him. They poiqt out that if he wins he will have gained an all important foothold in the east, breaking -General Wood’s hitherto seemingly impregnable front in this section, and go into the Chicago con vention as the "strongest” candidate because of population victories stra tegically distributed from a geo graphical standpoint. If he loses — they admit he will receive a set back that will require many future victories to offset. , New York Assembly Adopts Beer Bill ALBANY, N.

MINI SOUTHERNERS NOW PRAISE PURATOHE Superintendent John Hun gerford Relates Remark able Experience. Says Puratone Was Worth More to Him Than All Money on Earth. No medicine has ever accomplished such startling and magic-like results in the south as has Puratone during the pjist few weeks. J. E. Hungerford, superintendent of the service department of the Frigidaire Corp., and residing at 237 East North avenue, Atlanta, said: “For nine years my stomach had been giving me trouble. L had to be very careful what I ate—in fact, for a long time I was on a diet of soup. Gas formed on my stomach so bad it got as tight as a drum, and I would bloat and have awful smothering spells until I could hardly get my breath. I felt all stuffed up, and draggy, lazy and tired all the time. My so bad it seemed like there were iron bands tied about my head. “Then rheumatism set in, and nearly every muscle in my body ached. “I took all kinds of medicines and was treated by doctors in three dif ferent states, and spent hundreds of dollars, but nothing did me any good. I decided to give Puratone a trial, and it seemed to take hold right at once. It acted more like magic than medicine. I tell you, I feel like a brand new man, and am as strong as an ox. I sleep like a log every night and get up mornings feeling fine and ready for a big day’s work. I haven’t a rheumatic pain about me. In fact, am as well as any man in Georgia.

AMERICAN COMPOUNDING CO., Box 587- L Jasper, Ala. Congress to Try to Put Government Business On Economical Basis (The Atlanta Journal Nows Bureau) 623 Riggs Building. BY THEODORE TILDEB WASHINGTON, April 24.—Con gress, or at least certain members of it. has at last begun a drive against waste in the executive departments, superfluous clerks, idling door keepers and messengers, army vet erans of the battle of the Potomac and several regiments of “war work ers” who know no armistice. Cutting through the entanglements of red tape, the outer defense of the bureaucrat and his battalion of pen cil-pushers and typewriters, congress will seek some way to put the United States government, with its war debts of more than twenty billions, on a businesslike basis. Jut now it is conceded the United States conducts the biggest business in the world on the most unbusyiesslike principles. Senator Reed Smoot, in the upper chamber, and Representatives Madden, of Illinois, and Blanton, of Texas, in the house, have been conspicuous in their attacks on governmental extrav agance and clerks who stick tena ciously to the federal payroll. According to the two house mem bers, they, seldom enter the govern ment departments without stumbling over idle messengers and doorkeepers and once inside the offices hundreds of clerks are found who try to ap pear busy, with one eye lifted toward the clock which records the time to quit. ‘‘"Wicketl Duplication” In offering a resolution in the sen ate for appointment of a joint in vestigating committee to inquire into duplication of work in the depart ments, and to devise means for cut ting the payrolls and bringing about economies, genator Smoot observed; “I do not intend now to consume time by calling attention to the dupli cation of work which is found in the different departments of the govern ment. I have a great deal of matter prepared—it is not complete, how ever—and at some future time I wish to direct the senate’s attention to 'he facts, showing that there must be some kind of readjustment to the ac tivities of the departments of oar government, if we ever intend to do away with the wicked duplication of work now going on in these depart ments.” , Representative Blanton recently obtained from Herbert D. Brown, chief of the United State# bureau ot efficiency, a statement that there are “literally thousands” of superfluous clerks in the executive departments. “Both Congressman Madden and myself,” wrote Representative Blan ton, “estimate that there are now in Washington forty thousand idle, un neccessary clerks still on the payroll, whose services could be dispensed with without crippling the service. Is this true or not?” Replying, Mr. Brown said; . “I do not know whether your fig ures are correct or not, because I have not had opportunity to find out. I know that there are a great many unnecessary clerks in Washington (literallv thousands), but whether t.ie number‘is 20,000, 40,000 or some oth er figure, I cannot say. Efficiency Bureau Short “I know that there are very many superfluous clerks dn Washington, be cause investigations made by the bu reau of efficiency in certain offices have disclosed that fact. Whether this condition is general throughout the departments I cannot say without making a comprehensive survey. With the limited force of investigators at TELLS REMARKABLE STORY - ■ wWMy SUPT. JNO. HUNGERFORD tlte you ever saw, and ’can eat any thing I want. Yesterday for dinner I ate blackeyed peas. Before I took Puratone, such a meal W’ould have nearly killed me. “If I had time, I would like to go from house to house and tell every body what this Puratone will do.” . The leading druggist in nearly ev ery town sells Puratone or Pome roy & Company, Atlanta, Ga., will fill orders at $1.04 per. bottle, post paid.—(Advt.) my disposal, I am unable to make such a survey at the present time.” Mr. Brown's letter apparerntly indicates a typical governmental per formance. The bureau of efficiency is presumed to study the methods of the government and bring about ad ministrative reforms and increased efficiency. Yet Mr. Brown says it has not sufficient investigators to do the work. There may be 20,000 or 40,000 surplus clerks here, Mr. Brown indicates, but he doesn’t ap pear to have any of them and the eficiency board of the government department hasn’t'sufficient force to ascertain what is going on. If there are 40,000 surplus em ployes here, it may occur to the av erage business man that it would be a good plan to transfer at least a dozen or so to the efficiency bureau so it may proceed with its weeding out of obsolete administrative meth ods and some thousands of clerks. But, apparently, this hasn’t occurred to congress or anybody else. Oratory and Reality Albeit, the average bureau chief will inform you there are two sides to economy schemes in so far as they effect the “firing" of government clerks. The member of congress who inveighs against extravagance while making a home-consumption speech on the floor is a different indi vidual when he appears next morning at a government departmet hunting a job for a constituent. “Fire out these needless, idle clerks; lift some of the burden from the bowed shoulders of the taxpayers of this country,” shouts the con gressman, amid , the plaudits of his colleagues. The speech is duly franked out and thrills the folks back home who are proud to have at the national capital such a watch dog of the treasury. But the next day the orator hears that a heartless chief clerk has dis charged Miss Mary Smith, a “war worker” from the little town of Hickory Knoll. Miss Smith thinks it’s an outrage and goes forthwith to her congressrfian. The congressman agrees it is an outrage and says he is going to take it up right away. And he does. Why didn’t the chief clerk fire somebody else; why pick on my constituent: why not get rid of some of these trifling janitors and doorkeepers that I see in the halls; why wasn’t Miss Smith transferred to another depart ment? Are some of the indignant questions the "economical” member of congress is likely to fire at the hapless chief clerk. And in many cases the upshot is that Miss Smith goes back on the rolls, or is trans ferred to some other overcrowded bu reau. _ . „ Two Ways to Cut Down There are two ways In which con gress may go about affecting econ omies in the government depart ments. Everybody concedes that economy is most desirable, in fact, imperative. The present agitation, which might just as well have come ten years agOj is largely attributable to high taxes, which for once have arrested the attention of the tax payer and caused him to ask where the money is going. The more spectacular, but less sci entific way, the congress may pro ceed contemplates the slashing of es timates and the “paring to the bone of the many requests of the execu tive departments. SuCh methods might bring temporary results, but there is no assurance the reforms would be of permanent character and gradually extravagances would be likely to creep back Into the supply bills This method likewise presents the danger that the cuts may be made in the wrong direction; that a meritorius service may be crippled while a service of doubtful value slips by because of politics or rfavor- Conservative members of congress believe that the better plan would be a working from the ground up the establishment of a budget sys tem, a reorganization of the execu tive departments, a weeding out ot superfluous and everlapping bureaus and the systematic weeding out or every useless employe. < • Some Incongruities. Incongruities in the functions of the various executive departments and agencies are readily discovered, one cannot help stumbling over them. There is little co-ordination of work among the departments. Here are a fel illustrations of how different* agencies go about the same wort, ambling along over the same ground with loss of motion and efficiency: The state department and the de partment of commerce both are try ing to promote -foreign trade. The interweaving of diplomacy and com merce by the state departpient never appealed to former Secretary Red field, of the department of commerce, and now Secretary Alexander has come to the same conclusion. The treasury department houses the office of the supervising archi tect, yet most of the government buildings constructed are for the use of the postoffice department. Likewise, the treasury department has jurisdiction over the coast guard and its uniformed officers, including officers of aviation, engineering and construction and repair. Again, the treasury department has the bureau of war risk insurance, handling allotments and allowances for soldiers of the great war, while the interior department dispenses pensions resulting from the civil and Spanish-American wars. In addition to collecting billions in taxes, the bureau of internal revenue enforces the national prohibition lav*, but the department of justice and its district attorneys must obtain the convictions. •> Bureaus of engineering, whose work is not directly related to the functions of the several departments, are found in the war department the treasury department, the interior department and the department of agriculture. During the war the war depart ment had both a. construction divi sion nad an engineer corps, and now congress is talking about making the construction division permanent. There are medical branches in both the war and navy departments, but the public health service, with its captains, majors, colonels and gen erals, is under the treasury depart ment. The territory of the interior depart ment covers everything from the government hospital for the insane and the Howard university, in Wash ington, to the bureau of education or the care of elk herds in Wyoming. Three distinct government bureaus are said to include among their du ties preservation of species of po lar bears in Alaska. Readjustment Proposed. Representative R. Walton Moore, of Virginia, has pending a resolution for appointment of a congressional committee to recommend a readjust ment of the government service so that each department would handle only the questions naturally associat ed with that department. The plan would take from the treasury everything not related to the finances of the nation; from the war and navy department activities not connected with the upkeep of the military and naval establishments; from the commerce department things not related to foreign and domestic commerce, and so on. Such a plan would also embrace, if it is to be worth while, creation of independent departments or bureaus, such as one of education and science and another on public health, And still another on maritime affairs, to take jurisdiction over the widely scatter ed activities now tacked on to some department with which they have no direct sympathy. From the discharge of “war work ers” who hang on eighteen months after the armistice, to a amalgama tion of great bureaus now duplicating one another’s work, congress has a big job ahead of it—if it will only quit talking and tackle the job. America Will Ask For Financial Aid SAN REMO, April 24.—The su preme council has decided to ask the American government to assist the new republic of Armenia* financially by a loan in which other countries may join. STATEMENT ON CONVENTION IS ISSUED BY HARIS (The Atlanta Journal News Bureau) 623 Riggs Building. BY THEODORE TILLER WASHINGTON, April 24. —Urging Georgia Democrats to lay aside their differences and save their criticisms to be used against the Republican party, Senator William J. Harris is sued a statement late today regard ing the approaching state convention in Atlanta on May 18. Senator Harris expressed the hope that Georgia never will have another campaign as bitter as that through which the state recently passed. ' He urges also that the state con vention indorse the League of Na tions with suph reservations as were approved by the bi-partisan confer ence committee of the senate and that it also indorse the Wilson administra tion. Senator Harris further advises that the convention ought not to condemn any Democrat who has dif fered with the administration on any question, and that the time has come for .party harmony in Georgia. Text of Statement The statement issued by Senator Harris reads as follows: “The Democrats of Georgia have signified their preference as to the presidential candidates. Let us Rope that we never will again have so much bitterness in a campaign. I sincerely hope that the Georgia Dem ocratic convention, which meets May IS. will not condemn any Democrats who has differed with the administra tion on any question. Any such pol icy would be detrimental for the party in our state and the nation, and it is time that all Democrats lay aside their differences and save their criticism for the Repunblican party. “The Georgia convention will elect the delegates to the national conven tion, which will adopt the platform and name the candidates to make the race against the Republican nominees on the platform adopted by the Re publican convention. “The Democratic platform will in dorse the record of a Democratic president and a Democratic house and senate; will criticize the record of a ‘do-nothing’ Republican congress; will indorse the League of Nations with reservations which were ap proved by a bi-partisan committee pf Republicans and Democrats who really favored the treaty, and these reservations were supported by all Democratic senators except Senators Reed. Shields and Gore. “The Republican platform will crit icize the Democratic record; will try to explain their utter failure to ac complish anything for the people since they have been in control of both houses of congress; will make many false promises; will indorse the Lodge reservations to the treaty, which were supported by practically all the Republican senators. The record already has been made on the treaty by both parties. The Demo crats who voted for the Lodge res ervations did so in most instances not as an original preference, but only after having voted for the res ervations which nearly all the Demo crats supported. “The people of Georgia and the south owe their present prosperin' largely to the high price of cotton. Had a Republican administration been in power the price of cottton would have been fixed at about 10 cents a pound# and the farmers o Georgia and all of the people would have been in no better financial con dition than they were under the Re publican administration. “I hare no apologies to offer for urging the county Democratic execu tive committee of Georgia to select good Democrats trom among the friends of the-successful presidential candidate in their county, to attend the state Democratic convention to pass resolutions on the Democratic party and the Democratic administra tion, and elect delegates to a national Democratic convention to adopt a platform and name candidates on which the Democratic party will go to the country in November to defeat the Republican party.” Armenia Recognized as Independent Republic By the United States WASHINGTON. April 24.—Ar menia was formally recognized today as an indepenent republic by the United States. Similar action has been decided upon by the allied conference at San Remo. The American recognition was in the form of a note addressed by Secretary Colby to Mr. Pasder madjian, Washington representative of the Armenian republic. Notice of the recognition also was communicated formally to the dip lomatic corps abroad and to the al lied conference in Italy. This recognition makes no attempt to establish boundaries for the new republic. That is left to be deter mined later by international action. Secretary Colby today said no de cision nad a oeen made regarding a United States diplomatic representa tive to be sent to Armenia. Columbus to Plan for Commission Government COLUMBUS, Ga„ April 24. —An important step toward commission government for Columbus is to be taken at a meeting of a special com mittee representing the Chamber of Commerce and other interests, in cluding the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, early in the coming week and it is stated that some definite plans will be determined on at that time.

The premiers also have agreed privately to re fuse Berlin’s request for an army of 200,000 men—double the num ber permitted by the treaty of Ver sailles. She will .foot be allowed to retain her “einwofinerwehr” (civil guards), it was said. The allies also have decided to insist that* disarmament, as provded in the treaty, be car ried out at once. French officials here regarded these matters, discussed by the premiers in an informal meeting to day, as the most important matter yet taken up at San Remo. From France’s viewpoint, they said, the German question was all-important. No government could recede from the position announced when French occupied the German Rhine cities’ and remain in power. The early differences-- between the alliesc—and there was no disposition here to deny that differences had ex isted—were understood to pivot on the question of the strength of the Bolshevist movement in Germany. Prime Minister Lloyd George, of Great Britain, and Premier Nitti, of Italy, took the position the Bolshev ist bogey, which. constantly has been flaunted in the face of the allies by the Berlin authorities, was a real menace. They favored a sufficient force to enable the Ebert government to put down any outbreak.* Premier Millerand and Marshal Foch insisted there was no Bolshev ism worthy of the name in Germany and hence argued there was no ne cessity for an increase in the sifce of the Teuton army. Such an increase, the French said, would inevitably perpetuate Prus sian militarism and restore the Ger man menace to Europe’s peace. The questions of indemnities to be paid by the defeated teutons, and coal deliveries provided for their de struction of French mines, was still under discussion, it was understood.
