2 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. _ > New Cases of Plague in Vera Cruz VERA CRUZ, June 29.— Senitary authorities today announced that two deaths from bubonic plague had oc curred and two new cases developed, despite medical attention and precau tions against infection.

Dolls, Balloons Go a Walking |A I M \ 4 s'" w • - >—« ww I BERLIN.—Young women of Germany have started a new fad —the carrying of a doll fashioned after the old-time puppet. The modern doll is made of cloth with the long spindled arms and legs being shellacked to harden them. Some are very manly in appearance with cigarettes In their mouths. Toy balloons are often attached to the puppets. Evening promenade brings the new fad forth, $28,497.86 Check For Premium \Tax Breaks Record Here A check for $28,497.86, paying the New York Life Insurance company’s premium tax for 1919, believed to be the largest single insurance tax payment ever made to the state of Georgia, has been forwarded to Gen eral William A. Wright, state insur ance commissioner, by the Atlanta office of the company. The check represents the state tax of 1% per cent on the total premiums collected during the year 1919, which Were $1,899,857. During the year a total of $15,931,255 in hew business was written by agents over the state, bringing the total amount of insur ance the company had in force Jan uary L 1920, up to $56,359,034. 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.

Eager Swains Sail Out to Meet Cargo of Brides From Greece When the Greek liner Megalihellas, from Athens and Greek ports, drew alongside of her berth at Pier 44, South Brooklyn, N. Y., there were 100 Grecian girls lined along the rails and every one of them trying to pick a husband out of about fifty men in four little boats bobbing alongside the liner. Some o!f the girls had seen their prospective husbands before, and rec ognized them. They shouted greet ings at each other across the water. Some of the meh had only leters. These shouted the first names of the fiancees. Difficulties arose in this procedure because it happened that two or more of the girls pos sessed the same first name. Then they -Would call both names. Photographs helped on both sides. With the name and the photograph, and a little concentrated business' of glancing at a picture and then peer ing at the row of faces, a man with a loud voice could become acquainted with his choice before she was taken to Ellis Island. It was all Very noisy and interest ing, but the customs officials feared that the swains in their impetuous might bd rUn over by the ship HE GETS $3,500 VERDICT FOR “TOUGHEST KID” LABEL William McCue, twenty, a resident of Tenth avenue. New York, was awarded a verdict of $3,500 recently by a Jury in Justice Ford’s part of the supreme court against the Rus- Sell Sage foundation, the Survey As sociates, Inc., and Pauline Goldman for printing his picture taken at the age of twelve, over the caption, “The Toughest Kid on the Street.” The photograph was made eight years ago during a survey under taken by the foundation under the direction of Miss Goldman to show th'e necessity of reform in the treat ment of the boy problem by the juve nile court and other institutions. The results were incorporated hi a book entitled “Boyhood and Lawlessness.” McCue Succeeded in convincing the jury that the boy in the photograph described as “the toughest kid” ivas himself and also that he w T as In a group in another picture referred to as “delinquents." He testified that the photographer had persuaded him 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 Miss Kihn Is Modest About Perkins’ Legacy; Gets $6,000 Annuity Miss Mary Kihm, private secre tary to whom the late George W. 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 have been, very busy and too upset by the death of Mr. Perkins to give thought to mtich else.

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 Droppers, wife of the United States minister to Greece, and her daughter, Geraldine. Mrs. Claire Eliasco, wife of an Italian banker, was another passenger. She is here to raise funds for Greek orphans. to pose by telling him it was for a Boy Scout publication. He denied ever being arrested and told of servifig as afi altar boy in St. Ambrose’s church. Several other witnesses testified to his exemplary character. "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. children -might be degenerates from 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 tion, and their marriage would be prevented. This percentage is grow ing, Dr. Rollnick said. As another step In cutting down disease, Dr. Rollnick believes in im proved living conditions for those forced to live In congested city tene ments. Mahy of these places are breeding places for immorality and disease, he states. “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 man species.” Education of children in matters relating to their health and the wel fare of their bodies is Urged by Dr. Rollnick. Much of this education should come through frank discus sion between children and parents, he believes.—Washington Evening Star. about ten years.

Bryan Gives Scotland’s Dry Forces a Motto SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.—Wil liam Jennings Bryan today gave the “dry” forces of Scotland a slogan that will be used in the campaign to make that country dry. In answer to a request for a slogan, made by a Scotch visitor to the convention, one who is direct ing the drys in Scotland, Bryan said. “Better the gratitude of one soul saved from drink than the applause of a drunken world.” THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1920. 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 selected themselves. “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 gerous for the white people of Geor gia to separate, and there should be no effort to divide them.” Eight Indicted for Alleged Conspiracy In Case of Bergdoll PHILADELPHIA, June 29.—The special federal grand jury which in vestigated the escape of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll from his military guards here May 21, today returned eight indictments.

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. Get a package of Thedford’s Black- 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.
