Movement Now Has Struck
Chihuahua, Where Fight
ing Is Reported to Be in
Progress.
AGUA PRIETA, April 28.—The
revolutionary movement iniated in
Sonora has spread into Chihuahua,
where additional Carranza military
leaders were reported to have joined
, the rebels, according to press and
Sonora official advices available here
today. Sonora revolutionary lead
ers said it was indicated the Car
ranza government rapidly was los
ing ground in northern Mexico, with
out bloodshed, however.
General P. Elias Calles, command
er-in-chief of the rebelling forces in
the northwest, said today more de
fections from the Carranza' ranks
were imminent and that several Car
ranza leaders had agreed upon the
hour to join the revolution. He said
he expected all of northern Mexico
to turn to the Liberal constitution
'alisi. cause within a week or ten
i> days.
General Calles last night received
a report that General Ramon Iturbe,
h Carranza military commander in the
_ states of Sinaloa and Nayarit, and
who is preparing to resist troops un
der General Angel Flores in their
march on the port of Mazatlan. had
announced he would evacuate the
port unless Carranza reinforcements
reached there before the rebels.
’ The revolt of Colonel Francisco
del Arcb with his troops in Chihua
hua was parti of a “pre-arranged plan,
General Jcalles said. He also an
nounced he expected to have reports
of two other Carranza leaders in
the same state having joined cW
Arco with their men.
Cutting of raibvay communication
betweeii'-Jaarez and Chihuahua City,
it was said, would be serious for the
Carranza troops? being concentrated
about Casas Grandes for a projected
.attack on Scnora.

, to 5.000 men, might be forced to sur
render..
Meanwhile more troops are being
rushed here and to the mountain
passes east of here, through which
the federal government forces must

Delicate Question
While the British envoy coming
to the United States may formally
take no notice of it, the Irish inde
pendence movement in this country
is unquestionably in the minds of
President Wilson and Secretary
Colby as one of the most delicate
questions affecting the relations be
tween the British empire and t;>?
i United States.
I An authoritative outline of the
! British position as given the writer
j is therefore pertinent at this' time
j While the Irish question has gotten
■ into American politics, it is no less
: a disturbing .factor in' British pol
itics where the cry of all classes'is

UNIT VOTES OF
! RECENT PRIMARY
ARE ANNOUNCED
The subcommittee on rules of the
Democratic state executive commit
tee met Wednesday at 11 o’clock
in the Kimball house- for the purpose
of consolidating the returns and de
claring the result of tlie presidential
i primary held
According to the returns received
by Hiram L. Gardner, the secretary,
Palmer had a total ot' 1-18 county
! unit votes; Smith had it total of 106
[ county unit votes and Watson had a
I total of 130 county unit votes.
[ Notices of a contest were tiled by
[J. R. Smith in behalf of Senator
Hoke. Smith as to Atkihsoh and Mur
ray counties.’ which were awarded to
Balmer by the local county execu
tive committees, and which arc
claimed by Senator Hoke Smith On
the' of,t.he returns; and by Ben
jamin M. Blackburn, as to Chatham,
Echols. Elbert. Fulton and Lee coun
ties on behalf of Thomas E. Watson.
Os these counties Chatham. Elbert
and Fulton were awarded to Palmer;
Lee was awarded to Smith and the
official returns from Echols county
have not been received.'
The subcommittee spent nearly
two hours discussing the question as
to whmether it should-hear and de
cide* these contests or them to
the state convention vb be htld in
Atlanta on May 18. Messrs. Black
burn and Smith contended that the
subcommittee had no authority to
decide the contests inasmuch as the
credentials of the delegates would
have to' be passed upon finally by
the convention.
In the course of the discussion it
developed 'rom speeches made by
Colonel H. H. Dean, of Gainesville,
that the supporters of Palmer will
clai mthe right under rule 10 to
name all delegates to San Francisco
by virtue of Mr. Palmer plurality
of county unit votes in the conven
tion. and, if necessary, they will
appeal from the ' state convention
to the San Francisco convention to
sustain thfir contention.
When this edition of The Journal
went to press the subcommittee was
still discussing the question whether
it should hear and decide the contests
or refer them to the state conven
tion. Those present at the meeting
were Chairman James J. Flynt, of
Griffin; Secretary Hii;am L. Gardner,
of Eatonton; Fermor Barrett, of Toc

SIMS’ CHARGES
AGAINST NAVY'
ARE REFUTED
WASHINGTON. April 28.—Charac
terizing as "monstrous" Read Ad
miral Sims’ charge that delays by
the navy department prolonged the
war four months and cost 500,000
lives. Rear Admiral J. S. McKean
told the senate investigating com
mittee Tuesday that “had it been
made by any foreign official, allied or
enemy, it would have aroused the in
dignation of the whole American
people."
“lied it been invented by the in
flamed, exaggerated, diseased ego of
a patient in St. Elizabeth’s, the gov
ernment hospital for the insane, no
one would have been surprised,” the
admiral said. "That it was made
under oath by a rear admiral of the
navy on the active list, president of
the naval war cllcge, in a hearing
befre a committee of the United
States senate is. in my opinion, an
insult to cv-ry officer and man now
in the navy, or who served in the
navy during the world v.ar. i
“1 do not believe that any one
short of the good God himself has
sufficient knowledge of the various
elements and factors entering into
the war and the causes of its con
clusion to justify him for one mo
ment in charging that the navy or
any of its officers were responsible
for the loss of any part of the 2.-
500,000 tons of allied shipping claim
ed to have been unnecessarily lost,
nor least «of all do I believe that
there j- : ny human being with suffi
cient i; lormatiofi and sufficient
Itnowledgo to justify him in charg
ing the i-nccess.-t>-,v loss of life ot.
of the 500.00 Q allied soldiers
"-■-rged to have' been due to the er-
as of the navy. This monstrous
charge has been or will os Gleycved
in every item.”
ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1920.
$4,000,000 MADE
ON COCA-COLA BY
TWO SYNDICATES
With W. C. Wardlaw, vice presi
dent of the Trust Company of Geor
gia on the stand, the taking of testi
mony before Commissioner Harvey
L. Parry, in the injunction proceed
ings of the parent bottlers against
the Coca-Cola Company of Delaware,
was resumed Wednesday morning.
Mr. Wardlaw’ was subjected to a
j lengthy examination by Ben Z. Phil
j lips, representing the bottlers, and
I to a cross-examination by General
i Clifford L. Anderson, of counsel for
' the defense.
j The acquirement by the Trust Com
pany of Georgia and certain asso
ciates of 83,000 shares in the Coca-
Cola Company-of Delaware at a cost
of $5 per share was the subject of
a sharp examination. It finally re
sulted in counsel for the Coca-Cola
company declining to produce the
original agreement relation to the
subscription to this stock, and the
judge of the Fulton superior court
himself will have to determine
whether the agreement is pertinent
to the issue and permissible as evi
dence.
S. C. Dobbs, president of the Coca-
Cola Company of Delaware, testi
fied last week that the Trust Com-
I pany of Georgia and certain asso
j ciate.s had taken 83,000 shares of the
j stock in the corporation at $5 per
i share. Attorney Phillips sought
i from Mr. Wardlaw, as vice presi-
I dent of the trust company, further
; information confirming this transac-
■ lion. He demanded production of the
subscription list for stock in the
new company. Harold HirsCh, of
counsel for the Coca-Cola company,
stated that the subscription list had
been furnished and was before the
commissioner.
35 Subscription Xdst
Mr. Phillips read from a book the
following subscriptions for stock in
! the Coca-Cola Company of Deleware
[ at $5 per share:
The Murlyn corporation, 10,000
' shares.
; The Sherman Investing Co., 1.4,-
i 000 shares.
Charles A. Sabin. 24,900 shares.
Trust Company of Georgia. 24.900.
Newmont corporation, 8.300.' „
As indicated, these 83.000 shares
! cost the subscribers $5 each, mak
! ing- the total subscription 8415,000 by
, this group to the capital stock of
■ 325,000,000 corporation.
Attorney insisted that the
mere entry onXhe book of these sub
scriptions did not illuminate the par
ticipation of this group sufficiently.
He demanded of counsel for the de
fense the original 'subscription
agreement. William Candler, treastir
; er of the Coca-Cola Company of Dela
i ware, indicated that perhaps this.
I agreement was at the offices of the
; company.
Some t4ine afterwards Mr. PbiHips
renewed his demand for the original
subscription, and General Anderson,
j speaking for the defendant, declined
to deliver, wheteupon Mr. Phillips
questioned Mr. Wardlaw concerning
the identity of the members of'th?;
group.
Explains Deal >
Mr. Wardlaw stated that the New
mont corporation has offices in the
Bankers' Trust building in New York
and has for its president a Mr.
Snultz, who deals in stocks an<7
bonds. He could give no further In
formation about it, he said.
The Sherman Investing corpora
tion and the Murlyn corporation, he j
believed, were enterprises in which i
individuals interested in the Chase
National bank had an interest.
After Mr. Wardlaw had been ex
amined in considerable length con
cerning other phases of the pur
chase and reorganization of the
Coca-Cola company, he was taken
in hand by counsel for the de
fense. Attorney Anderson de
v eloped that the stock subscription ;
at $5 a share by the group, including
the Trust Company of Georgia, the
Murlyn corporation and others, had
never resulted in any money return
to the subscribers. Mr. Wardlaw tes
tified that this $5 stock represented
.the profits and the return of- ex
penses incurred by this group in the
promotion of the enterprise.
Bumper Peach Crop
Predicted This Year
By Fruit Exchange
Predicting that the Georgia peach
crop this year will approximate 10,-
0(10 carloads, thus constituting the
largest yield in many years, the
Georgia Fruit Exchange, in confer
ence with officials of the Southern,
Central of Georgia and Pennsylvania ■
railroads have perfected arrange
ments for the transportation .of the
fruit to the northern markets. The
conference was held Tuesday after
noon at the Atlanta headquarters ot
the. Southern railway.
The schedule of rail transportation
calls for the delivery of peach ship
ments in New York in S 3 hours after
leaving Fort Valley, the center of the
peach belt. Shipments will be con- I
eentrated in Atlanta and the cars, I
after being _iced, will leave here not I
later than 7 a. m. on the morning ;
following - their arrival from the or-|
cliards. The fruit will be sent out in
full trains to Spencer. N. C.. and Po
tomac yards near Washington. D.
while some will go to Chattanooga.
Tenn., for shipment to western mar
kets.
The fruit intended for the western
centers will be distributed from Cin- '
cipnati, while the eastern markets '
will be served from New Pork. The'
Georgia Fruit exchange will maintain '
representatives at Potomac yards and :
other transportation centers to di- '
vert peach shipments to points where i
the demand is greatest, thus avoiding
congestion of markets and consequent
slump in the price of the fruit.

To Hold Cattle Show
Here in Conjunction
With October Fair
The National Hog and Cattle show |
will be held in Atlanta this fall jn |
conjunction with the Sotuheastern!
fair. October 16-26. according to an-!
nouncement just made by H. G. <
Hastings, president of the fair as- j
sociatiom The decision to hold the
national exhibition in Atlanta was
made at a joint meeting held by!
committees from the Southern Cat-!
association and the South-;
ern Swine Growers’ association. R. !
M. Stripling, secretary and general i
manager ot the Southeastern -fair.!
presented Atlanta's claims.
“It is not the purpose of the pro-j
moters of the National Hog and Cat- ;
tie show to conflict with or detract j
from any of the national or inter- !
national shows now established, but i
to lay the foundation for an annual!
show in the south which will stini- '
ulate the wonderful development now I
under way,” said Mr. Hastings, in
annuncing the exhibit.
”V\ e can hardly expect an increase
in the number of breeding entries;
this year, but the new connection;
and tiie increased premiums will ;
raise tiie standard of exhibits until >
we have a show with our fat stock |
equal to any in the world. Georgia I
is already the home of the last in- |
ternational winner of the prize for j
the best Hereford bull and Duroc!
Jersey board, and this enterprise will I
do more to stimulate all southern!
breeders to greater effort than any-!
thing that could have been under- I
taken.”

:i PEACE MOTION
: UP FOR REPORT
BY COMMITTEE
1 . ,
WASHINGTON, April 28.—The
. | senate foreign relations committee
- i met today in another effort to re
| port out • tire peace resolution and
, get il on the floor for debate. Mean-
■ j while, a new move to revive the
■ I treaty of Versailles was being start
’ ; ed by a number of senators in both
parties. Both the peace resolution
and the effort to get the treaty back
' to the senate are political maneuvers,
. in the opinion of many senators.
s Senator Underwood, the newly
. chosen Democratic leader, is counted
• on to help -work up sentiment for a
t treaty agreement, and then to go
1 to President Wilson and urge him
i to re-submit the pact. Senator Un
t derwood hasn’t made any promises
i about it. The treaty movement is so
far rather nebulous but if its spon-
. sors get any encouragement, it will
take form rapidly, they said. If they
: are rebuffed in preliminary soundings
■ of sentiment, they probably will do
nothing more.
When the foreign relations com
mittee met to take up the peace res-
• olution, Senator Knox was prepared
to submit a new draft, a combination
of the house resolution and ■ earlier
Knox resolutions.
Senator Knox’s resolution contains
five provisions. The first repeals the
war declaration and restores the pre
war status between the United
States and Germany.
The second requests the president
to negotiate a treaty of amity and
commerce with Germany or any ar
rangement Which would have the
same effect as such a treaty.
, The third protests the claims of
I American nationals against Germany
| by requiring satisfaction iti full of
I all American claims before money
! and property of Germans held by U.
; S. officials or* agencies can be turn
i ed back to its owners.
The fourth retains to the United
States all rights and advantages
guaranteed by the armistice terms
[or the treaty of peace. The fifth re-
■ peals all war legislation.
I Senator Knox expects the Republi-
I cans on the committee to accept the
j new resolution. He hopes for action
I today.
It has not been decided whether to
treat Austria in a separate resolu
i tion or include it in the one relating
' to Germany.

POLES ADVANCE
! 50 MILES ALONG
180-MILE FRONT
WARSAW, April 28.—(8y the As
sociated Press.) —A general advance
by Polish forces along a 180-mile
front into the Ukraine was announc
ed in today’s communique by the
Polish general staff. The movement,
[it is set forth, is for the expulsion
of .the “foreign invaders.” (Russian
Bolshevik!.)
The Poles covered about fifty miles
the first day of their forward move
ment, their advanced line taking
them within sixty miles of Kiev.
The advance was explained in a
proclamation issued in the name of
General Pilsudski, head of the Polish
state, and posted in cities and vil
lages through which the Polish
forces marched. The document an-
I nounced that after the expulsion of
the foreign elements, the Poles
would remain in the Ukraine only
until an authorized Ukrainian gov
ernment should take control.
The document expresses the hope
that the Ukrainians will concentrate
their forces to aid in attaining their
freedom, which also <will be of aid
to Poland. . Protection is guaranteed
to all inhabitants who are asked to
bear patiently the burdens of the
war. /

COURT S POSITION IS
Him IB BRIEF
OF SOLICITOR KINS
Corporation Is Indirectly
Classed as Criminal, and
Jeopardizing of Other Sim
ilar Cases Is Pointed Out
WASHINGTON, April 28.—The
gvernment today asked the supreme
court for a rehearihg of the anti
trust case against the’United States
Steel corporation, recently decided
adversely to the government.
The request for the reopening of
the case was made by Solicitor Gen
eral King, representing the depart
ment of justice, shortly after the
court convened at noon.
The action will reopen the long
fight the federal has
made to dissolve the steel
tion and have ft A’j-S-jPAjjia CMinDlna
tion in restraint of trade. The court
absolved the corporation from the
charges of illegal combination made
by the government by a 4-to-3 vote.
The brief of the government in
asking the rehearing sharply attacks
the position of the court taken in its
opinion of the steel case that mere
size does not constitute a. violation
of laws prohibiting commissions in
restraint of trade.
Position Attacked
“No criminal is exonerated from
punishment because he makes a wise
use of property so acquired, and no
criminal commission should bs
empted from the pains and penalties
of the Sherman act, because after
having achieved its lawful ends it
merely maintains the fruits of ’ its
illegal acts without seeking- daily to
commit new ones,” the rehearing
brief of the government states
The.court probably will announce
before adjournment in June whether
H will grant the government's re
quest for the reopening O s the caset
Another point made by th e gov
ernment was that the decision was tc
be rendered b ya majority of th ‘
court, as, due to disqqualitications o'
Justices! Brandeis and Mcßeynolds
only four justices joined in absolv
ing the corporation from charges ui
'.olating the Sherman anti-trust law
4 T'iie brief further declared:
iP the United States Steel cor
f)oratmn was a criminal combination
in 1901 and the brief apparently con
cedes that; it was a criminal combi
nation in 1911. and itl is a criminal
combination now.
“While this case has been argued
twice, yet a sense of official duty, a
belief that the principal point in
volved is really not decided by the
maj'ority opinion and would require
a reversal, coupled with the belief
of counsel that the effect of the de
cision is materially to change and
restrict a number of recent opinions
of this court construing tire anti
trust statutes and may seriously af
fect other cLses still pending as well
as the future enforcement of those
acts, has convinced counsel for the
United States that their duty re
quire them most earnestly to ask for
a. rehearing.
Failure to Discuss Point.
“It is respectfully insisted that the
opinion fails to discuss the ques
tion pressed most Strongly by coun
sel, i. e., that the corporation is a
combination in restraint of trade.
“Apparently, therefore, the opin
ion conceded that a crime was com
mitted by the pjrepetrators of the
steel corporation. The criminal com
bination is permitted to continue,
however, because,
“(t) Mere size is not a violation
of law.
“(b) Because it did not achieve a
100 per cent, monopoly...
((c) Because it dod not oppress
competitors.
“((d) Several attorneys general
failed to file suit.
“(e) Dissolution involves a risk of
injury to the public interest."
“Criminal Combination
“Notwithstanding these considera
tions we earnestly insist that a crim
inal combination should be not per-'
mitted to continue its suppression of
competition between the constituent
members of the combination."
“The steei corporation,” the gov
ernment further charged, “is a com
bination of combinations, by which
directly or indirectly, approximately
180 independent concerns were
brought under one business control,
thereby giving it no only the assets
and business of that number of pro
ducers, but the advantage of their
elimination from the field of com
petition. The control ackquired over
the branches of the industry to
which the combinations practically
related measured by the amount of
production, extended in some in
stances from 80 per cent, to 995 per
cent, of the entire output of the
country, resulting in the immediate
increase of prices, in some cases
double and in others treble what
they were before, yielding large div
idends upon greatly inflated capital.
