It also is proposed to appoint a special finance committee, which Mr. Marsh will head in lieu of the office of di rector of finance created about a year ago and filled until recently by W D. Jamiesson. DRAGNET READY FOR 100,000 WAR SLACKERS IN U. S. WASHINGTON, July 22.—A na tionwide round-up of more than 100,000 draft deserters is to be started by the war department to bring justice to the men who failed to answer the call to arms In Ameri ca’s draft army during the war, Ad jutant General Peter C. Harris said today. For months the war department has been preparing a mammoth list of names of men who can be classed beyong question as actual and not theoretical draft deserters. This list expected to be completed soon and it is estimated that it will contain names of at least 100,000 “slackers.” The entire nation and operatives of the detection agencies of the federal, state and municipal government are to be called on by the war depart ment to assist in the round-up, it was said. When finished, the final list of draft deserters will be releas ed for publication as the first step In the round-up. Newspapers through out the country are to be asked to publish the names of she men on the list who are on records of the war department as living in their lo calities. Fifty dollars reward will be of fered anyone delivering one of the deserters to the nearest military sta tion.. Actively engaged in the round ’■p will be the militarv intelligence division of the war department, the bureau of investigation of the de partment of justice and local police of the country. Every man of the war depart ment’s “siacker list” will be subject to military court-martial. General Harns said. These men will be in the same category as Erwin R. Berg doll, brother of the more notorious deserter, Grover Cleveland Bergdoll. who surrendered himself to the army disciplinary barracks at Governor’s Island, N. Y., after being a fugitive since 1918. Erwin Eergdoll will soon be put on trial before court-martial on the charge of failure to answer a draft call. The men on the list now near ing completion are those who are shown by war department records to have disregarded draft calls after they had registered. The so-called draft evaders, or those men who fail ed to register, come under the juris diction of the department of justice. The utmost care is being taken by the war department to designate on its list only those men who actually deserted in the draft. Anti-Saloon League Is Urged by Upshaw to Take No Election Stand Urging that the Anti-Saloon league take no stand in the presidential race, Congressman William D. Up shaw, of the Fifth Georgia district, has wired the national attorney of the prohibition organization saying that if they do take a stand millions 'of the supporters of the organization will be alienated. His telegram fol lows: “Hon. Wayne B. Wheeler, National Attor ney, Anti-Saloon League, Bliss Building, Washington, D. C.: “As the long-time loyal friend of the Anti-Saloon League of America, allow me to earnestly urge the league as an organization to take no official stand as between the Bepublican and Democratic nominees. “With Harding voting for the district bill, which sought to bring on a liquor election in Washington, enfranchising the ‘wet’ voting element among a hundred thousand negroes, his prohibition record is not very savory’ especially among southern Democrats. And’ with the constitution dry, the supreme court decision dry and Governor Cox, declaring that failure to enforce the prohibition law would be a national crime, the league can well afford to let the presidency alone and turn its attention to the election of dry congress men and senators. “I frankly believe that any other course would alienate millions of your now loval friends and supporters, and hurt the league and the cause we love beyond all reparation “WILLIAM D.

RIOTERS WRECK POSTOFFICE AT WEST BELFAST BELFAST, July 22.—Rioting was renewed in the Falls area of West Belfast during the mill dinner hour today. The postoffice was wrecked and the police fired on the rioters. In the melee a soldier and several civilians were wounded. Casualties recorded last night are two men and one woman killed and twenty persons treated at hospitals for gunshot wounds. Many wounded did not report to hospitals. Fifty four arrests were made. The primary cause of the trouble is believed to be the recent murder of Colonel Smyth in Cork, as many men employed at Belfast come from Bainbridge, which was 'Smyth’s na tive town. This morning the workers returned to the shipyards as though nothing happened, although the trouble was started in the yards yesterday after a number of Sinn Fein employes had been attacked. The authorities be lieve they have the situation in hand. Unofficial estimates place the prop erty damage and looting done by the mob at 100,000 pounds. HEAVY DAMAGE DONE BY SINN FEIN RIOTS ONDON, July 22.—Speaking In the house of commons this afternoon, Sir Hamar Grenwod, secretary of state for Ireland, estimated the value of property in Ireland destroyed by the Sinn Fein at 2,005,772 pounds.

Bahnsen’s Fine Only Testimony Offered in Probe A brief session was held Wednes day afternoon by the joint commit tee of the house and the senate au thorized to investigate the office of the state veteranian, Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, who is charged by Repre sentative Williams, of Worth, with illegal conduct in office, with viola tion of his oath, and with operating his department for his own personal financial gain. The only evidence submitted to the committee was in support of the charge that Dr. Bahnsen several months ago was fined sll in the At lanta police court for violating the city ordinance, as to adulterated milk. Dr. Bahnsen operates a dairy at Americus, Ga„ and it was charged that samples of milk shipped by him to Atlanta showed adulteration. The court record showed that Dr. Bahn sen was fined sll by Recorder George M. Johnson. Although there are several specific charges in the bill of allegation, the police court incident was the only one brought out before the commit tee. It was announced that another session of the committee will be held on Tuesday afternoon of next week. GAUSTOVE TROUBLES A new booklet written by Dr. E. E.

As the boat docked the little maid was met by Mrs. S. C. Gobez of the Travelers’ Aid Society and by her grandmother, Mrs. M. A. Whitaker, of Sabinal. But Mary cried when sfie met her new grandmother, for on the Logan she had learned to call Mrs. Charles Clemens, in whose charge she traveled. Mary is a pretty child with dark bobbed hair and dusky brown eyes, and on the boat became such a fav orite with officers and passengers that a collection of $53 was taken up for her.

July 22.—The allies have decided to take measures preparatory to giving military aid to Poland, if that should prove necessary, it was learned here today. BOLSHEVIKI REFUSE TO DISCONTINUE WAR LONDON. July 22.—(8y the Asso ciated Press.) —The refusal of Lhe Russian soviet government to cease war against Poland at the behest of Grdat Britain is contained in a Moscow wire dispatch received here today. The refusal also constitutes an appeal to the workers and peas ants of soviet Russia and the Ukraine. It is signed by Premier Lenine, Minister of War Trotzky. Foreign Minister Tchitcherin and Commissioner of Justice Kurski. “If England bad not desired war,” the note said, “she would have .stop ped supplying Poland with muni tions and money. England is carry ing on negotiations with us as a con cession to her working masses.” “If the Polish people,” the commu nication declares, “desires to receive an honest peace and an honest fron tier and find in the person of Russia a brotherly neighbor, it is necessary that the Polish people itself should seek it." Premier Lloyd George, addressing the house of commons today, said the soviet answer to the allies re garding peace with Poland was in coherent. ambiguous and propaganda largely intended for home consump tion. So far as he could understand, however, the soviet indicated its will ingness to negotiate directly with Po land. A French mission headed by Jules J. Jusserand. French ambassador to the United States who is home on leave with General Weygand, right hand man of Marshal Foch, and M. Vignon, a close collaborator with Premier Millerand, will leave tonight for Warsaw to arrange for prompt succor to the Poles. On the same train and with the same object there will be a British mission headed by Lord Abernon. British ambassador at Berlin, Gen eral Radcliffe and Sir Maurice Han key. These missions, it is learned, leave with full authority to say to the Poles that whatever aid is needed, whether military or financial or in the nature of supplies, will be forth coming if the bolshevik! persist in a design to march into distinctively Polish territory. It is stated unofficially, but on high authority, that this means help for Poland in the form of troops, if they are required. Already a large number of allied officers and subalterns are with the Polish army, which, it is declared, will be increased according to cir cumstances with as many divisions of infantry, tank detachments, air forces and artillery as many be transported in due time. QUARANTINE TO HALT PINK BOLL WORM ORDERED WASHINGTON, July 22.—1 n an effort to curb the spread of the pink boll worm in the cotton belt, the de partment of agriculture has author ized a quarantine, effective August 1, which will be applicable to areas in Louisiana and Texas known to be infested or suspected of possible infestation. State authorities will co oprate in enforcing the quarantine, it was stated. "The growing crop must be under the full control of state authorities,” the department of agriculture’s an nouncement said, "in co-operation with federal authorities, who may inspect fields as often as necessary and may require prompt destruction of any cotton in fields that are found to be infested.” Enforcement of the quarantine regulations will include, the depart ment said, control over all cotton seed grown in the quarantine areas. State and federal authorities are in struted to forbid the use or plant ing of seed from such districts, and to require its prompt milling within the state and, if possible, within the infested or regulated area where it is grown. All cotton seed mills are to be dis infected at the mills, quarantine reg ulations provide. AH forms of lint cotton also are placed under joint control of state and federal author ities. Cotton from the quarantine area of Louisiana must go out through the port of New Orleans, and that from Texas districts must pass through the ports of either Galveston, Hous ton. Texas City or Port Arthur. The new regulations provide that shipments of these states can be made only through these ports. Re quirement also is made that such shipments, if they re-enter the United States, must come by all water route through New York, Bos ton or some other northern port', des ignated in permits and on entering such ports must be treated as foreign cotton. Disinfection of cars and boats used for shipment of cotton from infested areas also is required. The agriculture department has or dered that all volunteer or other cot ton growing In a non-cotton zone must be promptly destroyed. * Hardwick Discusses Issues in Hawkinsville Before Large Crowd HAWKINSVILLE, Ga., July 22. Regardless of the tremendous down pour of rain, the largest crowd gath ered at the city auditorium here Wed nesday to hear Thomas W. Hardwick, candidate for governor, that has gathered at any political gathering here since the joint debate of Gen eral Evans and W. Y Atkinson a number of years ago. E. W. Goode, of this city, introduced the speaker, and touched on several issues of the Hardwick campaign. Mr. Hardwick stated how he stood on all of the public questions of the day, and talked quite a bit of the achievements of the San Francisco convention. He challenged his op ponents to come out openly on pub lic questions as he had done. The senator fired several hot shots at Clifford W. Walker, an opposing can didate, and stated that he knew that Walker would have never defended Martens as he had done, for the rea son there was a $30,000 fee in it. and he would never nave tne oppor tunity of defending such a client, intimating that it was too big for him to handle. Mr. Hardwick used much humor throughout the entire address. People from Dooley, Laurens, Dodge, Telfair, Bleckley, Wilcox and Houston counties came to hear the speaker. Hardwick supporters here claimed that this was a regular Hard wick crowd. The three candidates for governor had been requested to meet here in a joint debate, but Hardwick was the only candidate present. Six Injured at G. 0. P.

Not only did initial offerings of Georgia leaf bring consistently high prices everywhere, but the high qual tiy and satisfactory size of this year’s crop indicate a huge profit for the season and a threefold increase in acreage next year. Fifteen mil lion pounds of bright tobacco, as good as or better than that of the Carolinas and Virginia for cigarette and pipe mixtures, will be gathered and sold in Georgia this season at prices that will probably increase the state’s agricultural income by close to $6,000,000. If the prospect ahead is fulfilled, it is expected that Georgia’s perma nent and important place on the to bacco map will be assured in 1921 with a crop of fifty million pounds— an output more than sufficient to ac celerate further the investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars in stemmeries, re-drying plants an<J warehouses by leading manufacturing and export tobacco concerns of the world. Three .such plants—one in operation at Fitzgerald and two more practically completed at Tifton and Douglas—already stand as proof of the unrivaled suitability of south Georgia’s loamy soil as tobacco coun try extraordinary. Solves 801 l Weevil Problem With Sea Island and short staple cotton seriously curtailed by* the in vasion of the boll weevil, the s-weep of the tobacco movement over the region means little short of salvation to this part of the state. Yielding a far higher return ppr acre than cotton, requiring less than three-quarters the same acreage, han dled in seven months as against thir teen for the staple, and yielding the planter a quick cash return at a heretofore stagnant period of the agricultural year, tobacco deserves a high place as a rival to cotton as Georgia’s money crop. The unanimity with which buyers, factory representatives, warehouse men, auctioneers and other newcom ers from the old tobacco belts de clare that South Georgia’s cheap lands are mechanically and climati cally qualified to produce better leaf than the choicest and most famous growing districts elsewhere, is noth ing less than remarkable. Veterans who have spent their lives in the to bacco business—most of them totally disinterested, save as to securing good tobacco and more tobacco as cheaply as possible—are all emphati cally of the same favorable opinion. More knowledge and experience in planting, cultivating and curing the crop are all that is needed, they say. Optimism is rampant throughout Georgia’s belt today. Last year, be cause of an unprecedented unfriend ly season, brought disappointment and failure to growers who were fighting hard to master a new phase of agriculture. Yet, undismayed by reverses, Georgia farmers planted nearly as large an acreage as in 1919, and seem certain to be rewarded with a much heavier poundage and a dou bled price. Last year’s crop was about 9,500,000 pounds, and it sold at an average of less than 18 cents per pound. This year’s crop of about 15,000,000 pounds should bring from 35 to 40 cents, the experts be lieve. Competitive Markets Flourishing, well-cultivated fields of the broad-leafed weed, with bat teries of little cubicle curing houses —one for six to eight acres—now dot the countryside in something like fifteen wiregrass counties, while twenty other counties are beginning to devote more and more land to to bacco. One or more competently op erated warehouses in Douglas, Tif ton, Abbeville, Fitzgerald, Blackshear, Nicholls, Lyons, Vidalia, Asburn and Nashville furnish enough competitive markets that stimulate planters to ward increased production. Auctions —themselves an institution worthy of a column of description—are con ducted every day in the week except Saturday throughout the marketing season, which begins in July and ends in September, providing a cash outlet for the crop Coffee Leails State Coffee, the pioneer county of Geor gia in tobacco production, will lead the state in acreage and crop, while Douglas, the county seat and the site of the state’s first market, will handle probably 4,000,000 pounds of the leaf before fall. Georgia’s or iginal curing house was built seven years ago by S. J. Brown, a former Carolina tobacco grower, on his farm at Nicholls, a Coffee county town on the A. B. & A. railroad, and an im portant tobacco market despite its population of only a few hundred. Georgia’s first auction was staged at Douglas four seasons ago in the warehouse of the McLain-Koss com pany. J. N. McDonald, J. P. Ross, and J. H. McLain, prominent Douglas citizens who conduct the warehouse, have contributed immensely to the cause, as have Messrs. Lea, Pegram and Motley, of the second Douglas warehouse. The China-American Tobacco com pany, a big concern exporting an ever increasing tonnage of leaf to the Orient since China banned opium, I introduced in the busy downtown sec . tion. One striking sign reads: “A Fatal Accident Occurred Here Last ’ Year.” During the first week of the i campaign not one fatal accident oc . curred and there were no really se i rious smash-ups. selected Douglas for building a big stemmery apd re-drying plant, which will soon be in operation under the direction of Arthur Barbour, a vet eran in the tobacco game. This firm buys something like twenty-five per cent of the Georgia crop and will clear its purchases through Douglas Tift Forging Ahead At Tifton, the well-organized and efficiently directed activity backed by the entire citizenry of Tift county, led by Irvine Myers, prominent bus iness'man and planter; W. E. Algee. secretary of the Tifton board of trade; H. H. Tift, Sr., millionaire lumberman, planter and capitalist: Frank Lorry, president of the Tif ton Trade Expansion board; W. E. Fenner, progressive warehouseman with interests in all tobacco sections; and others, have resulted in bringing the county in line for place as one of the first markets of Georgia. The Imperial Tobacco comnany, an Eng lish concern with millions of cppi-< tai, which buys about half of Geor gia’s tobacco, has, a magnificent plant almost finished at Tifton and will clear its tonnage there, export ing to Liverpool via Brunswick. Opening day last Tuesday at all the towns maintaining- tobacco mar kets was made a semi-holidajr everywhere, with barbecues, chicken dinners, speaking programs and oth er features. While planters as a rule were cautious in putting their first gathering on the market-bringing in cnly the low-grade leaves known as “prinjings” and “sand-lugs” in lim ited quantities—reports of splendid early prices have put the whole wiregrass county in a confidently opaimistic frame of njind. The bus tle and activity apparent in all the market towns, resulting directly from the influx of thousands of dol lars in cash at an off-season, is a welcome and significant testimonial to the vast possibilities tobacco means for South Georgia.

These measures propose to amend the state constitution so as to create a state hydro-electric commission, which shall have control of water power development, with authority to incur debt necessary to purchase, construct and operate plants for the development of electrify current from water power. The bills also propose to allow municipalities, or other poli tical divisions, to incur debt in ex cess of the present constitutional limit of 7 per cent for the purpose of acquiring water powers by nego tiations or condemnation, of develop ing and operating power plants. The committee voted, 10 to 7, for a favorable report on both bills. As the measures are constitutional amendments, a two-thirds majority of both the house and senate will be necessary for their approval before they can be submitted to the people for ratification. The speakers for the measures were Marion M. Jackson and Repre sentative Covington, of Colquitt county, one of the authors of the bills, while the speakers for the op position were H. M. Atkinson, chair man of the board of directors of the Georgia Railway and Power com pany; Attorney Joe Hill Hall, of Macon, and Roby Robinson, well known Atlanta bond and stock dealer. Each side was given one hour for argument. The opening argument for the measures was made by Marion Jack son, a member of the Municipal League of Georgia. He declared that the ownership of water powers by municipalities has worked out to the advantage of the public in every in stance where it has been attempted, calling attention to the situation in Ontario, Can., where, he said, the hydro-electric commisison is now-de veloping hundreds of thousands of horse power at a low Cleveland Situation Compared Mr. Jackson compared the situa tion in Atlanta with that in Cleve land, where, he alleged, a 3-cent per kilowatt rate as against 8 cents per kilowatt in this city. Rates in Seat tle, Wash., said Mr. Jackson, are half those in Columbus and Savannah, where the water powers have been developed by the same company. Ex panding his views, Mr. Jackson de clared that between 1,850,000 and 2,500,000 horsepower is now going to waste in Georgia for lack of facilities to develop the waterpowers of the state and he urged the committee to approve the two-measures, which, he asserted, would mean the emarftipa tion of Georgia cities. Concluding his argument, Mr. Jack son compared the present hydro electric situation in Georgia to the days of the carpet-baggers, saying that the capital engaged in water power development in Georgia today comes from the same section of the country that sent the carpet-baggers to Georgia in the reconstruction days. Opening the argument against the bills, Harry M. Atkinson, chairman of the board of directors of the Georgia Railway and Power com pany, deplored the remarks of Mr. Jackson concerning the carpet-bag gers, asserting that no capital is available in Georgia for the develop ment of waterpowers and that ot necessity the capitalists of the east had to be called on to furnish finan cial resources. Mr. Atkinson charac terized the purpose of the two bills as socialistic and spoke facetiously of the similarity between the princi ples they involve and those enun ciated by the recent convention of the “third party” in Chicago. Citing the railroad situation as a fair example of what public owner ship of public utilities means, Mr. Atkinson declared that the policy of the Municipal League is to “confis cate and wreck property and then recoup by taxation of the public.” In conclusion, Mr. Atkinson re counted the achievements of the Georgia Railway & Power company in developing waterpower in Geor gia, but stated that his interest in that company was merely incidental to his concern over the threatened catastrophe to be expected as the re sult of such legislation as the two bills under consideration. Effect on Credit Roby Robinson, speaking as a deal er in. bonds and municipal securities, declared that the credit of Georgia municipalities would be ruined if the proposed bills were passed, taking off the constitutional limit for ,the in curring of debt. He asserted that the credit of Georgia cities and towns is now the highest in any sec tion of the country, due to the con stitutional limitation on contracting debt. He insisted that very few municipalities in this state now have any considerable margin on which to issue bonds. Amplification of this phase of the argument was offered by Joe Hill Hall, veteran legislator and attorney. He urged the committee not to place the stamp of approval on bills that would ck'.stroy the credit of Georgia cities and towns and plunge the state into a socialistic scheme that was sponsored by “dreamers and theor ists.” Marion Jackson, taking the floor SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1920.

PARKS Although no official announcement has been made it was learned Thurs day that Dr. M. M. Parks, president of the Georgia Normal and Indus trial College at Milledgeville and one of the south’s foremost educators, has been tendered the presidency of Emory university. Dr. Franklin N. Parker 1s now serving as president of Emory, having accepted the position with the understandin gthat he would fill the post only temporarily. It is understood that Dr. Parks has not yet resigned from the G. N. and I. C.. nor has he accepted the Emory offer, although close friends state that he considers the Emory post one of the greatest educational opportunities in the south. Dr. Parks has been president of the Georgia Normal and Industrial college for many "ears and his ad ministration has been Highly suc cessful. He is a first honor grad uate of Emory and had three years of post graduate work at Harvard and Chicago universities in addition to extensive travels and studies again to conclude his argument, quoted extensively from printed statements concerning the rates for electric power paid in Ontario, Seat tle and Cleveland, comparing them with the rates paid in Georgia. He •was followed by Representative Cov ington, who made an impassioned plea for the two bills, ridiculing the attitude of Mr. Atkinson, who had stated that he came back to Georgia for this hearing after having left to enjoy a vacation. The speaker re ferred sarcastically to Mr. Atkin son’s hurried return to Georgia “to save the state.” He denied that the legislation is socialistic and insisted that it is in line "with the modern idea of progress. There was some discusison among the members of the committee as to whether Preston S. Arkwright, pres ident of the Georgia Railway & Power company, should be given an opportunity to speak, but it was finally decided that the original agreement of an hour to each side should be adhered to and Mrs. Ark wright was not allowed to address the committee. At the conclusion of the arguments, the committee went into executive session and within a few minutes adjourned, announcing that the bills had been approved by a 10 to 7 vote.
