BIRMINGHAM HAS
178.270 PDPUUTION;
GAINS JU PER CENT
Atlanta offers heartiest congratula
tions today to Birmingham, Ala.
At 9:30 o’clock Tuesday morning
the census bureau announced Bir
mingham’s population as 178.270, an
increase of 45.554, or 34.4 per cent.
With these figures the Alabama
metropolis again takes its rightful
place as the third city in the south—
a proud position which none among
her, sister cities begrudge her.
Njw Orleans comes first with 357.-
408, and Atlanta comes second with
200,41'6. Memphis is the fourth south
ern city With 162,351, not counting
Richmond, which has not yet been
announced. In 1910 the latter city’s
population was 127,628
A remarkable feature of Birming
ham’s census is the waj in which,
during the past ten years, she has
kept pace with the strides made by
Atlanta. In 1910 the population of
•r-a two cities was as follows:
Birmingham, with fifty-two square
miles, 132,655: Atlanta, with twenty
stX square miles, 154,839, or 22,154
mqre than Birmingham.
in the past ten years neither of
tne two cities has enlarged its terri
tory to amount to anything, but both
kar« added so numerously to their
population that, by the 1920 census,
Birmingham is seen to have gained
45.455 and Atlanta 45,777.
Thus, while Atlanta today has 22,-
346 more people than Birmingham, it
has gained only 192 more people than
Birmingham has gained since 1910.
In the friendly rivalry which has
long existed between Atlanta and
Birmingham and other southern
cities, the matter of population has
ever been a prime factor. Atlanta
has wished, naturally enough, to out
distance her sister cities whenever
possible and as far as possible. But.
in the census just announced, Bir
mingham proves again that she is a
Jgorthy antagonist. In keeping so
emse to Atlanta’s heels, she merits
the sincerest praise ms every Atlanta
citizen.
Wilson’s “Dead Ringer”
Creates Commotion in
Convention Crowds
SAN FRANCISCO. June 29.
“Look, there’s President Wilson!”
This information rippled through
the convention crowds today to an
accompaniment of gasps, gulps, arm
clutchings, excited finger pointings
and general excitement. A smiling,
_top-hatted individual in frock coat
’ and gray trousers was passing
• through the throngs bowing right
. and left. It certainly looked like
the president. But it was R. C.
Faulkner, famous as a “dead ringer
for Wilson, especially when he puts
on the high hat, glasses and flashes
a smile. . - -
Mr. Faulkner had a lot of fun to
day with the Democratic legions, but
at last he had to resort to a close
car to keep from creating too ihUCh
excitement. _ >

Georgia Oil and Gasoline
Law Is Held Halid by
United StatesDistri ct Co urt
The validity of the Georgia oil ahd
gasoline inspection law, which is in
effect a revenue statute bringing the
state a large annual income, was
upheld Monday by the United
States district court in a decision
declining to grant the injunction
sought by the Texas company. Two
of the three judges who passed on
the case joined in the view that the
law Violated neither the federal nor
tlie state constitution. The third
judge filed a dissenting opinion. The
decision will be appealed to the
United States supreme court on con
stitutional grounds.
The litigation by which the Texas
company tried to enjoin J- J. Brown,
commissioner of agriculture, and
f>ther Officials from collecting the in
spection fee of one-half cent a gal
lon was instituted this spring and
was argued at length before Judge
R. D. \\ alker, of the United States
circuit court of appeals; Judge Sam
uel H. Sibley, of the United States
court for the northern district of
Georgia; and Judge Beverely D.
Evans, of the United States court
for the southern district of Georgia.
Judge Walker dissented from the de
cision of Judge Sibley and Judge
EVans. Judge Sibley wrote the ma
jority decision.
Albert Howell, Jr., Mark Bolding
and former Attorney General Clif
ford Walker represented the state.
John M. Slaton and Luther Z. Ros
ser, of the firm of Rosser, Slaton,
Phillips & Hopkins, were counsel
tor the Texas company.
View of Court
A majority of the judges concur
red in an opinion which was against
the two cardinal contentions on
which the complaining corporation
based its plea. Counsel for the Texas
company argued that the fees were,
first, a tax on interstate commerce,
which is a violation of the federal
constitution, and, second, that they
violated the state constitution be
cause they were not uniform and ad
valorem.
In holding that the law is valid
the decision expressed the view that
the fees did not apply on consign
ments shipped direct to the con
sumer, which represent a negligible
percentage of oils and gasoline ship
ped into Georgia. The judges consid
ered, however, that importations
stored in Georgia, or which are re
sold after the original package is
broken, are subject to the inspection
fee and to a tax, inasmuch as inter
state commerce has ceased. As to the
bearing of the state constitution, the
judges took the view that the assess
ment of fees in excess of the value of
the service constituted a long-con
tinued and unquestioned practice tn
the state.
The revenue derived from the oil
and gasoline inspection law has in
creased enormously from year to
year in proportion to the hugely in
creased consumption of automobile
fuel. In 1919, the state realized about
$400,000 from this source. The total
this year is expected to reach $600.-
000 as the decision indirectly upholds
the statute governing the sale of
fertilizer tags.
How Fees Are Used
The fees paid by oil and gasoline
producers is used in maintain the
state’s district agricultural and me
chanical schools. In view of the de
pletion of the state treasury at
present and the necessity for the
legislature to consider emergency
tactics in meeting the situation, the
decision in the oil inspection case,
with its consequent loss or retention
of a big item of revenue, was await
ed with keen interest.
Following are pOstions of the ma
jority decision written by Judge Sib
ley which apply to the main points
at issue: .
“In the New Mexico ease, ns to the por
tion of the plaintiff’s business that con
sisted in selling gasoline at retail, though
brought into the state of New Mexico from
another state, it was said: So long as
there is no discrimination against the pro
ducers of another state and none is shown
from the mere fact that the gasoline is pro
duced in another state, the gasoline thus
stored and dealt in is not beyond the tax
ing power of the state. Sales of the class
mentioned would be a subject of taxation
within the legitimate power of the state.
“We accordingly hold that the importa-
tions of the petitioner which are definitely
stored within the state, or are resold there
after breaking the original ptickagges. are
subject not only to inspection, but to the
tnx imposed s<> soon as the interstate trans
portation of them is ended.
“The fact that such oils must Inevitably
meet the tax before they cun be used oth
erwise than for sale in original packages is
not material. This is true of all taxation.
If there is no discrimination because of
their being imported, they pass under the
taxing power of the state, as under its pro
tection, so soon as they pass out of inter
state commerce by a sale or breaking of the
original package, or by indefinite storage.”
Order of Court
“Tlie Georgia constitution forbids no
form or mode of taxation generally per
missible, but only requires specified uni
formities. The form of taxation by ex
cessive fees or so-callOd inspection of many
articles has lang been resorted to for reve
nue. Many public officers have been put on
salaries and their fees which exceed theii;
salaries turned into the treasury. This
long-continued and unquestioned practice in
tlie absence of any decision by the state
courts, would make us reluctant to declare
the act in question contrary to the state
constitution.
“It will, accordingly, be adjudged that
the collection Os inspection fees, so called,
be enjoined and restrained in respect to
oils imported by tlie petitioner for sale in
original packages and so sold, ftnd that an
injunction Will be refused as to oils imported
for indefinite storage or for sale after break
ing the original package.”
In dissenting, Judge Walker said, in part:
“I am unable to find any basis in the pro
visions of the statute in questions to con
clude that it is anything but an inspection
measure. The fees prescribed cannot well
be considered as exacted for anything
but inspection where nothing is required
but inspection and payment for it. The
statute is materially different from that
passed upon in the New Mexico case. The
statute there in question Was held to im
pose a tax on the privilege of dealing tn
gasoline in New Mexico. It did not require
any. inspection of gasoline. To sustain the
statute to the extent in the foregoing opin
ion requires the affirmance of the proposi
tion that, as to Imported goods, which, with
intent to use or sell them, have been re;
moved from the original containers in which
they were brought into a state, a charge of
inspection grossly in excess of the expenses
involved may be exacted as the price of
such goods becoming the subject of lawful
use and disposition in the state.”
The tax charged in Georgia is ohe-holf of
one per cent per gallon for lots exceeding
400 gallons and a larger fee for smaller
lots.
Bradshaw Calls Reed’s
Ejectment an Outrage;
Refuses to Take Seat
AUDITORIUM, SAN FRANCISCO,
JUne 29.—James Bradshaw, alternate
from the Fifth Missouri district,
Monday sent a telegram from his
home iri Kansas City declaring he
would not take the seat from which
Senator Jas. A. Reed was ejected by
the Mlcsouri state convention, the ac
tion of which was ratified Saturday
by the national committee here. He
characterized the ousting of Senator
Reed as a “damnable outrage."
When the convention opened the
Missouri delegation was consequent
ly minus one of its quota of dele
gates.
The telegrtyn from Mr. Bradshaw
said: 1
"Please say to the Democratic na
tional committee and the national
convention that Senator Reed is the
duly elected delegate from the Fifth
Missouri district. 1 claim fio rights
except as his alternate and repudiate
any attempt to give, me his seat. 1
most emphatically decline to sit in
the convention in a seat that right
fully belongs to Senator Reed. The
Democracy of the Fifth district ana
of the entire state demands that Sen
ator Reed be seated as its repre
sentative. I protest against my
name being used in any other way
than as his alternate. His rejection
would be a damnable outrage or ail
decency, fairness and justice that
would be resented by thousands of
Democrats in Missouri and the party
would suffer seriously from such un
justifiable and indefensible action.”
Elberton Policeman
Kills Two Negroes
On Midnight Train
ELBERTON, Ga., June 29.—Night
Policeman Loften Jones in trying
to arrest a negro, Will Peloat, on
the northbound Seaboard air line
midnight train here Monday night
was shot in the arm by the negro.
The policeman then pulled his pissto'.
and fired two shots, killing Peloat
and also another negro sitting in the
same seat with him by the name of
Will Harris.
When the train arrived In Elber
ton, it appears, the negro Peloat was
cursing and raising quite a disturb
ance. The conductor of the train
asked the policeman to take him oft,
as he said he was drinking and had
been very disorderly all the way
from Atlanta. He said that he tried
to get a policeman in Athens to take
charge of him. The policeman hero
entered the train and as he ap
proached, the negro drew his pisto!
and fired. Jone s did not intend shoot
ing Harris, but it is understood Har r
ris had been drinking with Peloat
and was unruly.
Mr. Jones has only a flesh' wound..
but eye witnesses seem to think he
had a verj r narrow escape from
death. From passes removed from
the bodies of the dead negroes, it
was learned Will Harris was a Sea
board porter who lived at Abbeville.
S. C., and Will Peloat was a brake
man who lived at 717 S. Parker
street, Monroe, N. C. The bodies
have been forwarded to their respec
tive families.

to pick a husband out of about fifty
men in four little boats bobbing

Some o!f the girls had seen their
prospective husbands before, and rec

Some of the meh had only leters.
These shouted the first names of

HE GETS $3,500 VERDICT
FOR “TOUGHEST KID” LABEL
William McCue, twenty, a resident
of Tenth avenue. New York, was

the supreme court against the Rus-

for printing his picture taken at the
age of twelve, over the caption, “The

The photograph was made eight
years ago during a survey under

direction of Miss Goldman to show
th'e necessity of reform in the treat

results were incorporated hi a book

DEFECTIVE BABIES SHOULD DIE;
ADVOCATES EUGENIC MARRIAGE
Children born deformed and suffer-,
ing from inherited diseases of a cer
tain nature should be allowed to die
and operations prolonging their lives
forbidden, according to Dr. Arthur
H. Rollnick, a physician, some time
of Cape Town, South Africa, and
now of Chicago, speaking in Wash
ington oh engenic marriage laws.
Dr. Rollnick is a disciple of Dr.
Harry J. Haiseivan, of Chicago, who
before his death, in June, 1919, at
tracted wide attention by his refusal
to perform an operation on a baby
deformed at birth. Dr. Rollnick,
while admitting his beliefs radical in
the medical world, cites statistics to
strengthen his prediction that unless
concerted effort is made tow’ard
standardized eugenic legislation the
world will be “insane within 200
years.”
Prevention is better than cure, Dr.
Rollnick states, and his first step
would be to rid the world, at their
birth, of children xvho will grow up
mentally and physically defective,
and, in many instances, transmit
their afflictions to posterity.
There is at present a movement on
foot to obtain national legislation by
congress for eugenic marriage laws,
based on a similar law in effect in
Alabama, preventing those whose

Legacy; Gets $6,000 Annuity

Perkins left $50,000 and an annuity
of $6,000 for life, lives at Summit,
N. J., in a pretty little home on
the top of a knoll at No. 21 Essex
Road. Living with her is an elderly
companion.
Miss Kihm is very attractive, and
judging from appearance, must have
begun her business career at a very
early age to have served as Mr.
Perkin’s secretary for twenty-seven
years. She is about five feet eight
inches tall, of the brunette type,
with brown eyes, black hair and a
pleasant manner. She was dressed
in black and wore a magnificent
string of pearls when a reporter for
The World saw h ir at her home last
night. She had just returned from
New York and was tired and nervous.
When asked about her inheritance
she said:
“I am sorry to disappoint you,
but I cannot discuss this maHcr. 1

by the death of Mr. Perkins to give
thought to mtich else. Besffles, I

off their fiancees before the immi
gration authorities had a chance to
make their acquaintance. So the lit
tle boats filled with hopeful husbands
w.ere shooed away.
Nearly 200 other men expecting
brides waited outside the pier. Their
fiancees were not supposed to be on
this ship, but they were taking no
chances.
Also on board with his wife and
daughter was George Horton, one
time newspaperman and attached to
the United States consular service
for twenty-nine years. Fie was con
sul at Smyrna for six years and look
ed after the interests of the allies
from 1917 to 1919. He was also in
charge of the allied bureau of com
munications at Salonica.
It was he who managed the evacua
tion of American citizens from Tur
key. He is on his vacation and is
here for the first, time in six years.
Also on board were Mrs. Garrett

minister to Greece, and her daughter,

of an Italian banker, was another

"she attorneys for the defense
argued that there was no malice, in
the publication of the pictures. Jus
tice Ford, in denying a motion to
set aside the verdict, declared care
had not been shown by those con
ducting the survey.
“They seemed to have hired a pho
tographer to gd* out into the street
and take pictures of any one he
could find, and then they inserted
the picture in their book as ‘the
toughest boy in the streets,’ ” he
said. “There is not a scintilla of
evidence that he was tough at all.
In the light of the text accompany
ing the picture the boy is put in the
category of juvenile criminals.”
McCue sued for $30,000.

marrying. Such a law is needed be
cause 60 per cent of the population
of the country at present probably
would fail to pass a strict examina

As another step In cutting down
disease, Dr. Rollnick believes in im

breeding places for immorality and

“Our government spends thousands
of dollars preventing hog cholera and
diseases of live stock,” he said.
“Comparatively little is spent safe
guarding the health of our citizens.
The department of agriculture con
ducts costly experiments on the
propagation of animals. Nothing is
spent on the propagation of the hu

SENATOR SMITH
URGES DELEGATES
TO BACK TICKET
United States Senator Hoke Smith
issued a statement Tuesday, deplor
ing the failure of the national Demo
cratic convention to recognize the
delegates elected by the Georgia state
Democratic convention, but urging
Democrats, in spite of this action,
to stay inside the Democratic organi
zation. Vote in the primary and sup
port the Democratic nominees.
His statement follows:
“Os course I regret that the na
tional convention did not seat the reg
ular delegation elected by the Geor
gia state convention.
“The Palmer delegates .were not
elected at he primary ; they were not
selected by the state comimttee and
they were beaten at the convention.
Even under the rules of the commit
tee the state coiiveiition alone could
have selected delegates, and the Pal
mer men were beaten in the State
convention. The Palmer men simply

“Regardless, however, of the action
by the Sah Francisco convention, I
am still pleased that the Georgia
state Democratic convention refused
to concede to less than one-third of
the votes cast the right to misrepre
sent the Democrats of Georgia in a
Democratic national convention.
“I still think the delegates to the
national convention should have been
distributed to the three candidates ac
cording to the votes they received,
and I shall never regret that my
friends in the convention declined to
ignore fifty 7 two thousand Georgians
who voted against me in the primary.
“There was very much more in it
than the candiadtes in the primary.
It was the position of the Democratic
voters on the covenant of the League
of Nations. With more than two
thirds of the voters in our primary
declaring against the covenant of the
League of Nations, without at least
substantial reservations, to let the
Palmer delegation go to San Fran
cisco and present as the view of the
people of Georgia indorsement of the
League of Nations with nothing but
interpretative reservations, was to
permit through machine rule the ut
ter misrepresentation of the views of
Georgia expressed at the ballot box.
“But even if we do not like the ac
tion at San. Francisco upon all sub
jects, we Georgia Democrats must
support the ticket. We must stay in
side the Democratic organization,
vote in the primary and support the
nominees
“If any think they have grievances
the white primary is the place to
right them.
“There has not been In fifty years
a time when it would be more dan

no effort to divide them.”

Huns Not to Insist
On Army of 200,000
PARIS, June 29. —German dele
gates at the Spa conference will not
insist upon the maintenance of an
army of 200,000 men, according to
th© Echo de Paris which quotes an
unarmed diplomat who asserts the
German representatives will ask the
allibs to reconsider indemnity du
mands. The Spa meeting, therefore,
would thus be a mere formality, the
newspaper says, and on the other
hand, the financial conference to be
held in Brussels, will be most im
portant, as it is possible a financial
agreement will be reached there.

ALL WRONG '
WAS HER LIVER
Before Taking Black-
Draught, Missouri Lad?
Was Troubled With Con
stipation, Headache
and Bad Taste in
Mouth
Grandin, Mo. —Mrs. Susa Brooks, of
this place, writes: “Some time ago I
was in a bad fix, with stomach and
liver trouble. I did not feel good at
any time. I was very constipated,
and had headaches from this condi
tion, and had a continual hurting in
my stomach, and bad taste in the
mouth. Could tell my liver was all
wrong.
“I had known of Black-Draught, s»
decided to try it myself. I began
with a large dose or doses, gradually
getting to smaller doses. It regulat
ed my bowels, relieved me of the
hurting in my . stomach, cleaned off
my liver and made me feel like a new
person.”
If you get up in the morning feel
ing as tired as you did when you
went to bed—achy, coated tongue,
bad taste in mouth, sallow coirplex
ion—then your liver has not done its
full duty, and your system has ab
sorbed the poisons which your liver
should have taken away.
An occasional dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught will help this impor
tant organ to function properly.

Draught liver medicine today.

Acts On The Liver,
Regulates Kidneys,
Purifies the Blood
The liver is the largest and most
important organ in the body, and
when the liver refuses to act, it
causes constipation, biliousness,
headaches, indigestion, gas, sour
stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in back and Under
shoulder blades and under ribs on
right side. These symptoms lead to
colds, influenza or other serious
troubles unless corrected immedi-
An Inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood
to absorb and carry into the sys
tem the impurities that the liver
and kidneys have failed to elirnin-
When you treat the liver alone,
you treat only a third of your
trouble, and that is why you have
to take purgatives every few
nights. Calomel or other ordinary
laxatives do not go far enough. If
you would treat your kidneys and
blood while treating the liver, you
would put your entire system in
order and frequent purgatives would
then be unnecessary.
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years
ago. recognized these important
facts, and after much study and
research, compounded what is now
known as Dr; Hitchcock’s Liver,
Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in one. This
was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip
tion for many years, being used by
his patients with marked success.
It is a harmless vegetable remedy
that will not make you sick, and
you may eat anything you like
while taking it. >
Get a large tin box from your
druggist or dealer for 25c, under his
personal guarantee that it will give
relief, tone up the liver, stimulate
the kidneys to healthy action and
thereby purify the blood. Keep it in
the home for ready use whenever
any member of the family begins
to feel “out of sorts.” It will
prove a household friend and a val
uable remedy.—(Advt.)

BEWARE!
| That case of malaria may be
come chronic. Many people
think they are free from it, and.
attribute their low state of
I health to various other reasons.
The chronic effects are Anaemia,
yellow skin, enlargement of the
spleen and liver, together with
a general low state of health.
Stop trying to cure the effects.
Get rid of the cause by taking
Oxidine, a preparation that
j drives malaria out of your blood.
It is also an excellent tonic, and
will make your system strong
enough to resist any further
