OPERATORS BLAME COAL SPECULATORS FORSOARINGPRICES WASHINGTON, Aug. I.—Blame for exorbitant coal prices was placed on speculators, In a formal statement issued by tne National Coal as sociation. Federal trade commission figures giving the average sales price at the bituminous mines during last April were $3.26. It said, “clearly in dicate the slender average of profit per ton realized by the industry as a whole." Mine cost was placed at $2.76 a ton by the commission, the state ment pointed out, adding that the 50 cents margin between the cost and selling price was not net profit, for from it must be deducted selling ex penses, interest on borrowed capital and other items of expense. “The blame for exorbitant prices lies in the activity of a coterie of speculators who have taken advan tage of an upset market,” declared the operators’ statement, which add ed that car shortage “paved the way for the play of speculative prices.” • Reconsignment of cars “for which the railroads are responsible,” it con tinued, “permitted exchange of coal In transit, sometimes resulting in a higher price to be tacked on” two or three times. The speculators have obtained only “a relatively small portion of the coal output, but their activity further disrupted a situation that for months has affected the nation’s coal output,” the operators said. “With the priority orders of the interstate commerce commission now stimulating the movement of coal to the Great Lakes and to New Eng land," concluded the statement, “the bituminous coal operators believe that the coal shortage crisis soon will be straightened out. The effective work ing of this program will depend upon full co-operation by the railroads, which has been assured, and, at the same time the faithful discharge by the mine workers of the obligation imposed upon them under the wage agreements made last spring to stick at their work and dig the coal the country needs. “Just as soon as the new program is in practical working operation, which will take some few days, ab normal market conditions will disap pear, high speculative prices in the open market will vanish, and the public will have no fear for a fuel less winter.” Pending formal word as to com pliance of Illinois and Indiana soft coal miners with orders of their na tional organization to return to work, no steps were taken at the White House today toward Inviting the bituminous Coal commission to take up the men’s grievances. President Wilson informed officials of the United Mine "Workers yester day in his telegram urging a resump tion of work that the commission, could not be asked to consider alleged inequalities in wage scales until the men had demonstrated their good faith. White House officials indicated that they expected no further action on the president’s part until it was clear that this condition has been met. In that event, they inticipated he would Immediately ask the com mission to begin its investigation. Hardwick Announces Speaking Engagements Campaign headquarters of Thomas W.

PROBE of Charles Ponsi, maker of millions through international post exchange, has but “scratched the surface ac cording to Edwin L. Pride, the audi tor in charge tonight. The examina tion was begun 24 hours ago andit is expected will not be completed much before the end of next week. Ponzi reiterated tonight had no apprehension as to the out come of the audit. "I shall never make public my methods of doing business,” he ada ed “at least for the present. I shall continue "to maintain my secret. Sometime, I may tell how I did bus iness, but it would be manifestly unfair to persons who have been associated with me to divulge tn, methods at present.’ In reply to a question whether he meant that he desired to protect his European associates, Ponzi said: “They are entitled to my confi dence, since they were largely re sponsible for the success of the ven ture ** Mr. Pride said that most of the books, papers and cards of the com pany were in a “chaotic condition, but that this was to be expected with a concern “that did such a tremen dous business In such a brief time. Ponzi, himself, when leaving his office today, said he did not know how many depositors he had. Hut ne estimated his total Payments at be tween $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. Business was not so brisk today as earlier in the week, there being not more than thirty-five depositors at the office at any one time. Indi cations pointed to the end of the “run,” which began early in the week, when it was announced that federal and state authorities were in vestigating the methods and the ac counts of the man who agreed to pay 50 per cent on investments in ninety days, and in almost every case stood ready to pay off in full at the end of half that time. Receivers Named for Big Canning Plant of Willingham Corporation MACON, Ga., July 31.—Jesse B. Hart, president of the Macon Na tional bank, and John A. Streyer, vice president of the R. F. Willing ham corporation, were appointed re ceivers of the Willingham corpora tion, which owned the big canning plant at Franklinton, formerly Camp Wheeler, Saturday afternoon. The hearing was before J. N. Talley, referee in bankruptcy, and was a pe tition filed by creditors of the can ning factory. None of the other con cerns of which Mr. Willingham was president are involved in the pro- C6€dii)g>s. At the meeting of the creditors it was said that the assets of the cor poration are $1,000,000, and the lia bilities $600,000. The receivers were authorized to continue operation of the large truck farm at Franklinton and the commissary there, but the plant, which was completed only a few months ago, and which is one of the largest in the south, will remain closed; it was run only during the peach season, which has just closed. The receivers were authorized to dis pose of $104,000 worth of peaches canned then. Three petitions In bankruptcy were filed against the corporation today. The first was by W. J. Marshall Com pany, and the Bateman Produce company, of Macon; L. O. Benton, of Jasper county, and the Slmpson-Doel er company, of Baltimore, Md. Their claims totaled $33,000. The second was by the O.

BY THEODORE TILLEB WASHINGTON, July 31.—Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, chair man of the speakers of the Demo cratic national committee, has prom ised In behalf of the Democratic nominees “the most aggressive speak ing campaign in the history of Amer ican politics.” Governor Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt, the senator says, have no sympathy with “front porch cam paigns,” and “will submit their cause and themselves to the public for judgment.” The nominees will lead the many speakers who "will take to the hustings immediately after the acceptance speeches of the candi dates.” “Not a hamlet in disputed states will be overlooked in this determined effort to bring home to the people of the country the startling quali ties, the broad statesmanship and constructive ability of the Demo cratic standard bearers," says Sena tor Harrison. He adds that there will be Demo cratic speakers from coast to coast, “and every Democratic woman and man capable of carrying the Demo cratic message will be called on to do his or her share on platform and stump. With two such candidates and with the story of achievement we have to tell, we know our speak ers will have no difficulty in con vincing the men and women of the country that the continuance of the Democratic party in power is/ the better part of wisdom.” Senator Harrison says not only will speakers tell the story of pro gressive Democracy, “but they will lay bare the unjust criticism and misrepresentations of the Republican party and the reactionary record of its candidate." The chairman of the speakers’ bu reau asserts the Republican party is going to be on the defensive through out this campaign. The 1918 G. O. P. campaign was “piffle,” he adds, and the party has not made good its promises. “The Democratic party,” concludes Senator Harrison, “has fulfilled the trust imposed in it and seeks only the opportunity to give a truthful ac count of its stewardship. The Repub lican party cannot point with justi fiable pride to its record, and may only view with alarm what the elec torate will do in November.” The Democratic nominee believes in going direct to the people with ap peals for support and Senator Harri son promises the people will be ad vised of all campaign Issues, includ ing "the obstructive tactics of a re actionary senatorial oligarchy, but for which we would now have peace.* - Grain Prices Take Another Big Slump On Chicago ’Change CHICAGO, July 31.—Grain prices on the board of trade today suffered a big slump on account of July liqui dation and better weather reports for the crop.

There was heavy short cov ering in wheat on the break but wher this buying had been filed the mar ket slumped again and at the finish prices showed a net loss of 10 3-4 to 13 cents. A 15-cent break in cash wheat caused bear pressure late In the session. Corn and oats also suffered heavy declines, July corn dropping 6 1-4 to 6 5-Bc, to a range of $1.32 3-4 to $1.33. Other months were down from 2 3-4 to 3 5-Bc.

Birmingham Claims More Than 180,000 ‘lf Properly Counted’ BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 31. Commissioner John R.

The engineer suffered fatal injuries, and the fireman and a passenger were severely hurt. Two other passen gers were less severely injured. The engine and two cars were thrown from the rails, causing a detour of several miles by all trains. Frank Gray, the engineer, died of his injuries. Daniel Bailey, the fire man, has a compound fracture of the left leg. Henry V. Borden, of Plain field, N. J., the passenger who was most seriously hurt, has two fractur ed ribs. Judge George Hilly er and JV. L. Smith Say Factions Should Unite for Smith Letters urging the re-election of Senator Hoke Smith continue to be received by The Journal from people in various sections of Georgia wlu> are in agreement with the views re cited by J. K. Orr and other prom inent persons who have given expres sion to the hope that the senior sen ator will be returned by the voters of Georgia. Judge George Hillyer, one of the best, known citizens of Atlanta, a former member of the state railroad commission, and a Democratic war horse whose services to the party have extended over many years, de precates the factional strife that would defeat Senator Smith, and urges that his re-election transcends petty jealousies and factional rival ries. R. N. Fickett, a pioneer citizen and prominent Baptist of Atlanta, pays a high tribute to Senator Smith’s Democracy, and citizenship, recalling reconstruction days, when the senator led the fight for white supremacy at the polls. W. L. Smith, a well known travel ing salesman, who resides at 109 Lawton street, declares that the ring leaders of the opposition to Sena tor Smith willingly would sacrifice Atlanta’s federal reserve bank in or der to accomplish his defeat. The cards of Judge Hillyer, Mr. Fickett and Mr. Smith are among the interesting contributions that have been made to the campaign. Judge Hlllyer’s card follows; Judge Hillyer’s Card Editor Atlanta Journal: Permit me to add a word, to what has been so well said by J. K. Orr and others urging the re election of Hon. Hoke Smith as United States Senator, i have known Senator Smith long and well, and my testimony is that for a generation or more there has been or is no man in Georgia whose practical wisdom and de votion to duty has enabled him to accomplish more by reform and public measures for the good of all our people than Sen ator Smith, especially the farm ers, the schools and the public peace. The problem does not turn on mere personal quarrels and riv alries. what our people want is wisdom and safety in adminis tration of the government. There has been no time in the world’s history for the last five hun dred years when the publio safe ty and blessings of civilization were in more danger than in the present world crisis. Liberty regulated by law which has de veloped so much for happiness for all the people here in ou r own much loved America, is menaced by the world-wide ex citement and dangers. We should all stand together and united for Georgia. It is painful to see the mere personal hostility and riv alry which are menacing the public safety right here in our own state. The question is not which of any two political rivals can ob tain victory over his adversary ■ but the real question and only question that ought to be con sidered by the voter is which of more candidates will if elected, best promote and con serve the public interest and safety. The motto of ou r own Btate °t Georgia is “Wisdom, Justice and Modera- Sen ator Smith possesses all three of these qualities, and kas been singularly successful and is armed with broad knowl edge and great experience. Leav ing out all sentiments that at all smack of hatred or strife the question is, what is best for Georgia? it seems plain that a correct and only true answer to that question is, the re-election of Senator Hoke Smith; and thus continue him in that position th ®, best qualified; and where he will do the most good for Geor gia. ™ GEORGE HILL YEH. Mr. Fickett has sent the follow ng card to The Journal: Mir. Fickett’s Card Editor The Journal: i have known Hoke Smith for nearly fifty years. He and I lived in the Fifth ward of the city of Atlanta in 1874, when we elected him at nineteen years of age, chairman 'of the Fifth Ward Democratic club. In those days we had to fight to save our city and county from a combination of negroes and carpet baggers. Two years later we made him chairman of the Democratic executive committee of Fulton county. I remember well the fight we had that fall. There were 200 United States deputy marshals around the polls, each with a Colt’s revolver buckled around his waist. They were being used to carry the county Republican by the use of the negroes. We did not have ' the registration system we now have, and it was a terrible fight. We had to be ready to fight physically, as well as with bal lots. Hoke Smith stood at the polls from the time they opened until they closed. He had organized a force of men who were ready to die if necessary, to save white supremacy. He led us with perfect coolness and courage. Captain Jim English, Captain (later judge) Newman and Sam Hoyle, all old Confederate sol diers, were there fighting. At one time during the day the ne groes and deputy marshals, In a long line, had complete control of the polls, and something had to be done. A bogus fight was gotten pp between Hoyle and Newman. One had his arm gone and one a foot gone, as a result of service In the Confederate army. They took their places on opposite sides of the line of marshals and negroes. They first began abusing each other and then shooting at each other, or rather shooting over the heads of everybody. They emptied their revolvers and when the smoke cleared away no deputy marshals or ne groes were around, and the white people took charge of the polls. Hoke Smith was there marshal ing the white voters. No truer ‘ Democrat ever lived in the state. He made a governor devoted to the interests of the people. In his administration we got the disfranchisement laws, helping free us from negro votes and got the convict system broken up and the convicts put on the roads. i He has made Us a good United States senator. He has fought for us there just as he has al ways fought for the people of Georgia. We are going to have an ef fort to give us trouble again in our elections and in our negro questions. We are going to have the good legislation that helps us in our business attacked. No new man can take Hoke Smith’s place in the senate, and I call upon the people of the state to consider their own In terests, laying aside all preju dice and support Hoke Smith for re-election. Very truly yours, R. N. FICKETT. Atlanta, Ga., July 30. The card of Mr. Smith appears below: Mr. Smith’s Card Editor The Journal: I have read with much Interest the let ters of Mr. J. K. Orr, Mr. J. E. Sheppard and Mr. W. A. Barker, giving their reasons, and telling of why it is to the best interest of the state of Georgia to send Senator Hoke Smith hack to the senate. These gentlemen, Mr. . Editor, evidently forget two things. First, they look at this matter from the viewpoint as to what is best for the state of Georgia. The leaders of the op position to Senator Smith only have the defeat of the senator at heart. When we speak of the opposition or the leaders of the opposition we mean little Al bert and Clark Howell. These HOLDER DECLARES FOR DEMOCRATIC PARTY PLATFORM BYRON, Ga., July 31. —Addressing an audience which included citizens not only from this immediate vicin ity, but from several counties in this section of the state, John N. Holder, speaker of tlfe house of representa tives and candidate for governor, de clared for the principles enunciated in the platform of the Democratic party as formulated at the San Francisco convention, outlined his policies if elected to the governor ship and paid his respects to his two opponents Thomas W. Hardwick and Clifford Walker. Praising the achievements of the Democratic administration during its eight years of power, Mr. Holder call ed attention to the advantages gained through the enactment of the federal reserve act, which places at the disposal of the people the great financial resources of the nation. He also pointed out the benefits to farm ers under the rural credits act, the parcel post system and other pieces of constructive legislation, declaring that to insure a continuance of this beneficial policy, it is imperative that the Democratic party be re turned to power in November. "I am anxious to contribute my little bit,” said Mr. Holder, "and in order to do so I stand ready, not only to support the candidates, but to defend the principles upon which they have gone before the people of the country asking for their suf frage. “But in the great progress of constructive legislation did Mr. Hardwick do anything to help achieve this result? Instead of be ing noted for constructive' states manship, he is noted for his opposi tion to much of the great legislation enacted during his incumbency of the highest office within the gift of the people of Georgia. He sought to defeat the big things that others were attempting to do in the public Interest, rather than to construct anything for our country’s welfare. He offered nothing better than that which was offered by others. He is not a builder, but a critic and a de stroyer. What has he proposed or offered to do that will be of any benefit to the state? “In one of his speeches he asks where I stand W national ques tions. My reply is that on notion al questions I stand for the Demo cratic ticket and the Democratic principles enunciated by the patriotic men gathered from every part of our country, who have given us a decla ration that is far superior to that given by its opponents. “The democracy of Georgia must stand with the democracy of the na tion in battling for the restoration and the perpetuation of the great fundamental principles of the party as enunciated in the San Francisco platform, and as represented by the standard bearer of the party, James M. Cox, all working together for the great purpose as outlined by George White, the new head of the national Democratic committee for the es tablishment of peace, the continua tion of progress and the perpetua tion of prosperity.” GALLSTONE TROUBLES A new booklet written by Dr. E. E. Pad dock, Box 55201, Kansas City, Mo., tells of improved method of treating catarrhal inflammation of the Gall Blad der and Bile Ducts associated with Gall Stones, from which remarkable results are reported. Write for booklet and free trial plan.—(Advt. I two men have never done any big thing for Georgia and they never will, except to stir np strife. In order to defeat Mr. Smith they would be willing to give up our Reserve Bank, elect Tom Watson, or have the state make any other sacrifice. They do not care anything about what the state loses, all they care for is to gratify their hatred for Senator Hoke Smith. If Clark or Albert is so posi tive that Mr. Smith does not represent this state intelligent ly in the United States senate, why Is it that neither of these brothers will run for the office? It is because they have not for gotten Clark’s campaign of 1906. Yours very truly, W. L. SMITH. 109 Lawton street, city.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1920 BAPTIST BOARD WILL RECOMMEND GREAT HOSPITAL That the construction of a great general hospital at New Orleans by the Baptists of the south will be recommended to the Baptist Home Mission board at Its regular meet ing in September was indicated as a probability Saturday by Dr. B. D. dray, corresponding secretary of the board, who, with Dr. John F. Pur-« eer, of Atlanta, president of the board, has just returned from a visit to New Orleans for the purpose of Investigating the project. At the 1920 meeting of the Southern Baptist convention in Washington, D. C., a resolution was adopted requesting the Home Mis sion board to investigate the advis ability of establishing a great hos pital in New Orleans to be main tained by the denomination. Repre sentations had been made to the con vention by a committee of New Or leans citizens and officials of the New Orleans Association of Com merce,’ offering to furnish a sutt uable site, two blocks in extent, tion and to co-operate to the fullest extent. The home board therefore sent Dr. Gray and Dr. Purser to New Or leans to survey the situation ana report on the project. The report to be made to the board in Septem ber will announce the fact that the New Orleans Association of Com merce stands ready to donate a val uable site, two blocks in extent, about one and a half miles from the heart of the city in a location that is deemed ideal for the purpose In tended. The special committee is expected to recommend to the board that the offer be accepted and that preparations be made at the earliest possible date to begin actual con struction operations. Although the •meeting in September will be that of the local members of the board, al; the state members will be notified of the findings of the committee and asked to indicate their desires. The plan of the convention, if car ried to completion, contemplates the expenditure of from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 for the construction and maintenance of such a hospital as Johns Hopkins at Baltimore, an in stitution that will be a distinct as set and advantage to the people of the south. Nashville Man Is Still Puzzled by Peculiar Train Swap NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 31.—Two trains, one from Texarkana, Ark., bearing John Thompson, Jr., wealthy Nashville construction engineer, whose mysterious disappearance Thursday night en route from Mem phis to Nashville, caused a statewide search, and the other bearing Mrs. John Thompson with “a full suit of clothing” for her husband, were speeding toward Memphis tonight, where tne once missing husband ana overjoyed wife will meet after thirty six hours of suspense. According to latest information Thompson was still unable to account for his transfer from the eastbound Memphis-Nashville train to the west bound Iron Mountain train, but it was thought that he made the trans fer while his sleeping car was in the trainshed at the Memphis sta tion. Thompson was ill at the time of his disappearance and as he was subject to delirium when feverish it was thought he boarded the wrong train after leaving his berth in the drawing room for a breath of fresh air. When found on the Iron Mountain train the engineer was clothed only in his underwear, the rest of his clothing was brought to Nashville by J. W. Cochran and Horace Har well, who occupied the drawing room with him Thursday night. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson will re turn home Monday night. It is not thought that the reward of SSOO offered by Mr. Thompson’s brother for news of the missing man will be claimed. Americans Win Rifle Matches at Olympics BEVERLOO, Belgium, July 31.
