MUNICIPAL BILL
KILLED IN SENATE;
DEBATE IS BITTER
After an hour and ahalf of fervid
debate, in tvhich charges of “So
cialism” were bandied to and fro be
tween the speakers, the first of the
Municipal league bills, providing for
public ownership of public utilities,
■was killed by the senate Monday
afternoon. The second bill, which
provides for the creation of a state
hydro-electric commission to have
charge of the development of water
powers, is still in the hands of the
committee on constitutional amend
ments.
The advent on the floor of the sen
ate of the first of the Municipal
league bills was the signal for a
sharp fight. The constitutional
amendments committee reported it
favorably, and Senators Smith, of
the Seventh; Pittman, of the Forty
second. and Keafi of the Sixteenth,
immediately arose to champion the
measure. They were opposed in de
bate by Senators Glenn, of the
Forty-third, and Barrett, of the Thir
ty-first, both of whom insisted that
the measure was pernicious.
The bill provided that municipali
ties, counties and otner political di
visions should be authorized to ex
ceed the constitutional limit of in
debtedness in issuing bonds for the
purpose of acquiring by condemna
tion or otherwise all kinds of pub
lic utilities, such ag electric power
plants, street railways, gas plants
and similar enterprises. The consti
tution at present limits municipali
ties to 7 per cent of their assessed
valuations In issuing bonds for any
purpose whatsoever.
The advocates of the bill declared
that the proposal was in line with
< e most progressive thougne of the
age; that it followed out the theory
m. Democrocy in allowing the pub
lic to own and operate the utilities
on which it is most dependent for its
existence. They insisted that if this
measure was Socialistic, then pub
lic operation of schools is Socialistic,
as well as public operation of water
works and roads.
The opponents of the measure as
serted that the development of elec
tric power would be absolutely stop
ped by the provisions of the bill;
that municipalities would be allow
ed to increase their bonded debt to
the point where public securities
would be practically worthless and
that the whole tendency of the bill
was toward Socialism.
A wide divergence of opinion was
manifested when the roll was called
and many of the senators arose to
explain their votes. Possibly the
sharpest line of demarcation that has
yet been shown in the upper branch
of the legislature came to light as
the vote progressed. The chamber
was crowded with members of the
house who were interested in the dis
position of the bill and the progress
of the vote was watched with un
abated interest. The final vote was
27 to 16 to disagree to the report of
the committee, which was favorable
to the passage of the bill.
It is understood that the second
bill, authorizing the creation of a
state hydro-electric commission, will
not be pressed further at this ses
sion, although its advocates declare
that they will have it introduced in
1921.
Earlier in the afternoon’s session
a bill to provide for the appointment
of an agent in the department of
commerce and labor to direct the en
forcement of the labor immigration
laws, had been killed. A measure
by Representative Brown, of Clarke,
to provide for the designation of
three state depositories in cities of
more than 15,000 population, had
been passed.
Steel Plant Planned
For Walker County
By New Corporation
The International Steel and Motors
corporation has been licensed by S.
G. McLendon, as secretary of state,
to offer its securities to the invest
ing public of Georgia, should its pro
moters see fit; though they assert
that they intend the stock for a few
selected persons, preferably connect
ed with steel and iron manufactories
Plans for the corporation, it was
announced, include a great plant for
the manufacture of steel and iron in
Walker county, near Estelle, to de
velop the mineral resources of north
Georgia, northeastern Alabama and
east Tennessee.
Speaking of Georgia’s resources in
this respect Harry L. Brittain, of
New York, president of the new com
pany, said:
“Today Georgia is producing almost
as much Iron ore as Pennsylvania,
but where Pennsylvania has 132 blast
furnaces in operation, turning out
16,500,000 tons of pig iron a year,
Georgia produces none.
“Ohio, Indiana and Illinois do not
produce iron ore in any quantity, yet
these three states produce 15,000,000
tons of pig iron a year. Since their
local supply has been exhausted, the
blast furnaces of the north are com
pelled to haul their ore and lime
stone more than l,(f00 miles, and
their coal situation is nearly as bad.
These conditions, together with the
new increased freight rates, will en
able northwest Georgia to produce
pig iron sl4 to $lB a ton less than
Pittsburg, or any other market in the
north. This is hard to believe but
nevertheless true.
“Freight on steel products from
Pittsburg to Atlanta and other points
in Georgia, ranges from $17.70 to $l4O
a ton, so when you add together the
sl4 difference in production cost on
pig iron, and the minimum freight
charge $17.70, you will see that these
two items alone will enable north
west Georgia to produce steel al
ready delivered in the state S3O a ton
less than Pittsburg can, or Birming
ham, since Birmingham charges
Pittsburg rate, and must continue to
do so in accordance with the very
recent decision of United States su
preme court.
“Thirty dollars a ton on 200,000
tons amounts to $6,000,000 a year,
that is, freight alone, to say noth
ing of the manufacturer’s profit,
which amounts to more than the
freight. Six million will almost
build and finance a plant of that ca
pacity.”
Officers and directors are Henry
L. Brittain, New York: H. Abner
Dean, Rome; John Dowling, Chatta
nooga; R. A. Denny, of Georgia;
James M. Craig, Birmingham; K. L.
Jones, Atlanta, and Walter M. Mas

Gangs of N. Y. “Gunmen”
Stage Three Odd Raids
In One Busy Day’s Work
NEW YORK —Fourteen crap shoot
ers were held up by nine masked
men early yesterday morning in the
cellar of an apartment house on the
east side of Fifteenth avenue, be
tween Forty-second and Forty-third
streets, Brooklyn, and robbed of
about $4,500 in cash and jewelry
valued at $3,000. In making their
well-planned raid and escape, the
bandits practically put the whole
block of thickly populated apart
ment houses under martial law. The
victims were lined up against a wall
by five of the men while the others
guarded entrances of the cellar and
drove residents of the block indoors.
Louis Rubinowitz, a furrier, of No.
4216 Fifteenth avenue, directly op
posite the scene of the robbery, at
tempted to give the alarm when the
shouts of the gamblers attracetd his
attention. He was forced to retreat
into his house by one of the armed
robbers. Other residents of the
block . went to their windows and
were ordered back by the bandits’
sentries.
After the robbers had escaped into
the nearby entrance of the West End
subway on the cityward side, Pa
trolmen Joyce and Reiss, of the
Parkville station, were summoned.
Commandeering a passing automobile
they raced the subway train to the
Pacific street station, four miles
away. They lost the race and the
men presumably escaped into Man
hattan.
Bandits Interrupt Diners
Six gunmen held up Peter Men
edis’ restaurant at No. 2235 Eighth
avenue early yesterday morning and
fled with a cash register containing
SSOO. Thirty diners were lined up
against the wall at the point of auto
matics, but nothing was taken from
them.
Menedis’ brother, Thomas, told
them, the police say, that an hour
before the hold-up the gunmen ate a
meal in the place and, when paying
their check, asked them if the res
taurant was a paying proposition.
Thomas says he told them that the
Takes Nap on Telephone Wires;
Can’t Say How He Got There
NEW YORK. —Policeman Bush, of
the Newark police department heard
a hearty snore shortly before dawn
recently at Fleming avenue and
Providence street, Newark. . He
pinched himself to make certain he
hadn’t fallen asleep, and then he heard
it again, gathering volume as it pro
eeded and winding up in a tre
mendous, ear-shattering snort.
The policeman looked in all the
areaways, in all the doorways behind
the lampposts and searched carefully
all over the sidewalk. He even pried
up a manhole cover, but every time
he would tell himself there was no
one around who could possibly snore
the snore came again and always
louder than before.
“Spooks!” said the cop to himself.
He looked around, somewhat fear
fully, and finally his gaze turned up
ward. And there, forty feet from the
ground, he saw a man stretched
across the telephone wires, a few feet
away from one of the poles, sound
asleep. The cop was afraid to wake
him. so he sent for the reserves and
they came with a life net.
Bald Eagle Has Wild Ride on
Salmon’s Back, Sailors Say
SEATTLE. —Every man aboard
the schooner Roosevelt, from the
master to the cook, in from a recent
voyage, said they would take an
oath that they saw a huge bald eagle
take a wild ride on a salmon’s back
in the stretch of water between Cape
Mudge and Seymour Narrows, Gulf of
Georgia. And they brought the eagle
to Seattle to prove it.
The Roosevelt was on its way to
Seattle from the fishing banks in
Hecate Strait. Shortly after passing
Seymour Narrows members of the
crew said they noticed a bald eagle
flying close to the water near the
vessel. As they watched the bird
skimming near the surface a spring
salmon, estimated to weigh about
twenty pounds, leaped clear of the
swift-moving current. Quick as a
flash the eagle drove his sharp tal
ons into the fish’s back.
There was a great splash as the
fashioned way. The girls have been
doing his all summer for the sake
of coolness and comfort. At least,
they say that was the reason. But
now when skirts are to be further
abbreviated and it’s still necessary
to climb steps and board street cars
—well, bare knees would be inevit
able, and that wouldn’t do, you know.
So say the two pretty models from
a Whitehall street store, at any rate.
place had a great patronage and that
Sturday’s business had been unusual
ly good. The six bade him “good
morning” and departed. An hour
later, Thomas says, they returned
and, while three of them held him
and the thirty diners at bay, the oth
ers carried the cash register to a
limousine at the curb. Four hours
later the register, battered and emp
ty, was found at Broadway and six
tieth street.
Gunmen Visit Baths
Five smartly dressed young ban
dits drove up in an automobile to
the Lenox Baths, at One Hundred
and Fifteenth street and Seventh
avenue, at 5 o’clock yesterday morn
ing and stole eleven deposit boxes
in which patrons had stored their
valuables. In their hurry they left
more than 150 deposit boxes behind
and obtained an aggregate plunder
of between $2,000 and $3,000, where
as the total valuables on deposit was
estimated at about ten times that
amount.
Edward Handler, of 1154 Washing
ton avenue, the Bronx, the assistant
cashier, was on duty in the office
when the five men entered the place.
They ranged from 20 to 25 years in
age, according to Handler, and were
all unmasked and smooth shaven.
When he approached the window of
the office door, through which the
business of the establishment is
done,. Handler found several re
volvers pointing at him. He threw
up his hands when commanded, then
opened the door and was marched
with a revolver near the small of
his back to a large room on the
ground floor in which scores of pa
trons were asleep on couches.
Morris Hochman, an employe in
the dormitory, rose sleepily when the
assistant cashier and the two ban
dits entered. One of the bandits
struck him on the jaw and Hochman
rolled over on the floor. After this
incident all was quiet in the dormi
tory. The bandits escaped before the
alarm was spread among the 200
bathers.
Several of the cops held the net
under the wires and Bush climbed the
pole and poked the sleeper with his
club. The man stirred uneasily, and
muttered something about taking an
other cf the same. Bush prodded
him again and the sleeper turned an
uncertain eye upon him.
“How’d you get up there?” demand
ed the policeman.
“Darned if I know,” said the sleeper,
“got a drink?”
The man refused to come down, but
Bush prodded him long and vigorous
ly with the end of ms nightstick, and
at length the sleeper lost his hold
on the wires and fell with a roar
into the net. He was then transfer
red to an ambulance and taken to the
Newark City hospital, where he gave
his name as William Merkel, but re
fused to give his address. He had
no idea of. the circumstances under
which he dlimbed the pole and went
to sleep across the wires. He didn’t
care to discuss it, in fact; he would
only say he had been out “with the
boys” and he felt rotten.
I big springer dived, taking the eagle
beneath the surface. All hands
rushed to the rail to watch the
struggle. Three times, they said, the
fish and the bird disappeared in the
water while the Rooseveit steered
a course close behind them.
Finally the eagle loosened its hold
on the salmon and flopped over on
the surface of the water completely
exhausted. It had put up a game
fight, but had lost its prey. The
crew of the Roosevelt pulled the
bird aboard with a bait hook. The
eagle was nearly drowned, but on
deck it soon recovered and showed
fight.
While the battle between the bird
and the fish was in progress two
other eagles, the Roosevelt’s men
said, flew around the vicinity scream
ing loudly. Captain Barney Peder
sa npresented the captured eagle to
one of the local public parks.
RACE NARROWS
TO SMITH AND
•WATSON ISSUE
As the senatorial campaign pro
gresses and Senator Hoke Smith
makes satisfactory headway with the
detailed organization of his forces
throughout the state in his canvass
for re-election,,, it is his purpose to
devote more and more time to stump
speaking. His visit to Conyers and
Covington Tuesday is in line with
this policy, and it may be stated that
his out-of-town appointments will be
increased as the date of the primary
draws near.
The Smith headquarters, in the
Piedm.ont hotel, have received scores
and scores of letters, sugesting
speeches by the senator. It will be,
impossible for him to accept all these
invitations, but he expects to accept
as many of them as possible.
In addition to the speeches at Con
yers and Covington Tuesday, Sen
ator Smith will deliver tw r o other ad
dresses during the week. He will
speak at Vienna, Dooly county,
Thursday morning, and at Cordele,
Crisp county, Thursday afternoon.
He will return to Atlanta Friday
morning and remain throughout the
remainder of the week in Atlanta.
Next Monday, August 16, Senator
Smith will visit Dawson, Terrell
county, and Shellman and Cuthbert.
Randolph county. His speech at
Dawson will be made at 11 o’clock
in the morning; at 2:30 o’clock he
will speak at Shellman, and at 4:30
o’clock in Cuthbert. »
The evidence is abundantly cumu
lative that the senatorial campaign,
notwithstanding the candidacy of
three aspirants, is in fact a race be
tween Senator Smith and Mr. Wat
son. In these circumstances, the
Smith leaders are gratified but not
surprised that Democrats all over
Georgia, without regard to past fac
tional affiliations, are aligning them
selves behind the candidacy of the
senator. They point to mountains
of mail from practically every coun
ty in' the state in confirmation of
their analysis of the situation.
There are scores and scores of let
ters and telegrams, strengthened by
word of mouth reports, that the en
trance of Governor Dorsey has not
aroused the response that his advis
ers had anticipated. Indeed, accord
ing to Smith headquarters, they have
received direct and first hand ad
vices from hundreds of Democrats
who supported Attorney General
Palmer in the presidential primary,
but who will vote and work for
Senator Smith in the current cam
paign. There have been as many, or
more, letters from men who hereto
fore have supported Governor Dor
sey who In the present race are not
disposed to follow him because they
realize that a vote for him is cal
culated only to help Mr. Watson.
The Dorsey men, in many counties,
it appears from reports received by
the senator’s leaders, have united
with the Smith men in order to - make
doubly certain the redemption, of
their counties or to certainly insure
the defeat of Mr. Watson.
As an evidence of the failure of
Governor Dorsey’s candidacy to
make headway, it is pointed out that
his formal announcement created
even less excitement than did the
preliminary announcement of his
purpose to be a candidate.
It was an open secret among mem
bers of the legislature yesterday and
again Tuesday that the governor’s
platform had occasioned no comment
even among the men in the legisla
ture counted as his closest friends
and most ardent supporters—net
that these friends and supporters
were displeased with the platform,
but rather that <hey have awakened
to the fact that the governor’s can
didacy is doomed to failure. They
have realized that the people
throughout the state regard the gov
ernor’s candidacy as calculated only
to strengthen Democracy’s ancient
enemy—a realization resting on re
ports that have come to them from
their homes. They deplore the situa
tion, and many of them, it is stated,
are privately hoping that Governor
Dorsey will retire from the race.
Old Gold Brick Game
Is Worked in Kansas
WICHITA, Kan.—The old gold j
brick game recently was revived
here, successfully, from the view
point of the swindlers, according to
a story told local police by the vic
tim, a pawnbroker.
The pawnbroker said a stranger
called at his store and said he would
open a tailor shop here. His visits
were repeated and he and the pawn
broker became friends. Then, one
day while the stranger was present,
a man came in who said he had some
gold he wanted to sell. Stranger No.
1 said he knew a broker in Hutch
inson w’ho would buy it and proceed
ed to call up the Hutchinson broker
by phone. Later the broker from
Hutchinson, representing himself as
Max Cohen, appeared.
The brick of gold, contained in a
black box, was produced. It was
tested and found to be gold. The
pawnbroker and Cohen agreed to buy
it for $6,500, the pawnbroker putting
up $4,500 and Cohen $2,000. Upon
opening the box during the absence
of Cohen and the man who sold the
brick, the pawnbroker found it con
tained a brass gold-colored brick, but
not the one he had tested.
Cohen, who invested $2,000 in the
brick, never has called since. Search
at Hutchinson showed there was no
licensed broker there by the name of
Max Cohen.
More Money Needed
To Combat Smugglers
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. — (By the
Associated Press.) —Liquor smuggl
ing into the United States has
reached such proprotions that it has
brought In its wake a large illegal
traffic in other commodities, it was
learned today at the treasury de
partment. Officials have become so
concerned that they are considering
a rearrangement of the government’s
coastal criminal chasing arms, with
a view’ to concentrating on what they
described as a menacing situation.
The customs service, charged with
protecting the country from smug
glers, has found itself “wholly in
adequate” to meet the situation, ac
cording to Assistant Secretary
Shouse, of the treasury, who is head
of that government branch. He de
clared the custom officials are handi
capped “both in men and in money
because of a refusal by the last con
gress to appropriate additional
funds with which the service could
be expanded.” »
Russian Crown Jewels
Smuggled Into England
LONDON, Aug. 9. —The Russian
crown jewels, worth fabulous sums,
have been smuggled into England by
the bolsheviki, and British dealers
have been warned about them, ac
cording to a report circulated to
day: The jewels include the czar’s
crown and the wonderful diamonds
and necklaces worn by the czarina.
It is said that all the court jewels
w’ere placed in the hands of bolshevik
agents, who sent them to Amsterdam,
London, Constantinople and New
York, with orders to sell them and
return the money to the soviet war
chest. The British learned of the
plan through a dealer who had long
been a resident of Petrograd and
who had been approached by a bol
shevik agent.
In the czar’s scepter was the fa
mous Orloff diamond, weighing
194 3-4 carats. The czar's collection
of rubies is said to have been the
finest in the world.

An ordinance prohibiting the danc

He’s Tobacco King,
But Doesn’t Smoke

When asked whether he pre

manufacturing marts have made
him many millions, replied:
“I have never used tobacco in
any form in my life And have

CROP MARKETING
IS FACILITATED
BY SENATE BILL
Officials of the state and national
farmers’ union are rejoicing over the
passage by the house, on Monday
afternoon, of the senate bill authoriz
ing the formation of co-operative
organizations for the purpose of mar
keting farm crops.
The bill was backed by the farmers’
union, the federal bureau of mar
kets, the state bureau of markets,
the pecan growers, the fruit grow
ers, the melon growers and the farm
ing interests generally. It passed
the house without a single opposing
vote, though a few senators fought
it in the senate.
The bill authorizes the Incorpora
tion without paid-in capital stock of
co-operative marketing concerns, pro
vided the same are to be conducted
without profit. It authorizes the
payment of patronage dividends to
farmers marketing their crops
through a co-operative concern. It
places restrictions upon tne voting
power of majority stockholders in
such concerns, and likewise restric
tions upon the amount of profits
which may be set aside for the bene
fit of stockholders.
In addition to this bill, the house on
Monday afternoon 1 passed the sen
ate bill known as ”the money-shark
bill, placing lenders of money in
amounts up to S3OO under the juris
diction of the state bank superinten
dent and imposing drastic regulations
upon the conduct of their business.
Among other things, the bill cuts
the maximum monthly interest rate
on salary assignments and other
forms of money-shark loans from 5
to 3% per cent.
Other senate bills which were
passed by the house at the Monday
afternoon session were as follows:
To provide for the appointment of
alumni trustees on the board of the
Georgia School of Technology.
To allow six months for the valida
tion of county bond issues, in place
of the present requirement that they
be validated in twenty days after the

U. S. IS PROBING
THE CLOSING OF
COTTON MILLS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—The de
partment of justice is conducting an
Investigation Into the textile indus
try to determine whether closing of
cotton and woolen mills is due to a
conspiracy by manufacturers to con
tinue high prices, it was learned to
day at the office of Attorney General
Palmer.
Mr. Palmer, a week ago, sent into
New England an agent who now is
directing the investigation. District
attorneys have been instructed
give him all assistance.
Information reaching <#rtiy the
justice department but also experts
in the bureau of markets and the
commerce department, officials said,
indicates that manufactures now are
closing their mills to prevent stocks
of cotton and woolen cloths from pil
ing up. This would create a short
age and higher prices when the fall
demand begins.
Officials here today were studying
the closing of cotton mills at Fall
River, Mass. Cotton mills in Geor
gia and North and South Carolina
are planning to reduce working hours
next week, according to reports
reaching officals of the bureau of
markets.
The closing down process seems
to be striking textile mills in all
parts of the country. Thousands of
workmen are being laid off or dis
charged.
Idle w’oolen spindles July 1 num
bered 949,066, according to commerce
department reports. Idle worsted
spindles totaled 757,973.
The number of idle spindles has
been increasing for more than a
year. July 1 showed 42 per cent
idle; June 1, 23.1 per cent, and May
1, 11.5 per cent. Manufacturers say
they are forced to close for lack
of orders.
A Rochester, N. Y., ready-to-wear
clothing maker recently sent a cir
cular to all retail dealers stating he
would be unable this fall to supply
certain kinds of clothing. This, he
said, was because he was unable to
obtain cloth. This manufacturer
named a big ■woolen manufacturing
concern which recently closed its
doors for “lack of orders.”
The clothing manufacturer said he
previously placed large orders with
this same wool cloth manufacturer.
Cotton cloth manufacturers in the
past year paid .enormous dividends.
Several Fall River mills paid more
than 10 per cent for the four-month
period just ended, according to re
ports reaching officials here. During
the preceding nine months the same
mills paid a total of 25 per cent.
NO INFORMATION RECEIVED
ON GOVERNMENT PROBE
No Information bearing on the in
vestigation now being conducted by
the department of justice into the
alleged arbitrary closing down of cot
ton and woolen mills in order to
shorten the supply and Induce high
er prices hhad been received Tues
day at the office of L. J. Baley, chief
of the department of justice for the
southeastern states.
“This office,” said Mr. Bailey, "will
take prompt action In all cases were
there appears to be a violation of
the Lever act.”
Ask Higher Valuation
For Cotton Cargoes
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—Repre
sentatives of southern cotton ex
changes conferred today with the
shipping board in an effort to obtain
a higher valuation for cotton ship
ments on government vessels in the
event of loss and injury. At present,
it was stated, SIOO is the highest
valuation permitted and shippers are
seeking to value bales of cotton as
high as $250.
The question of providing for a
waiver of demurrage charges when
vessels cannot be unloaded because
of congestion or other circumstances
not the fault, of the consignee was
also considered.
Adoption of a uniform cotton bill
of lading was discussed at the con
ference and it is understood that
cotton exchanges will be asked to
submit suggestions for a model bill
of lading. /
Spokesmen for the cotton ex
changes declared that the board
promised immediate consideration for
their problems and indicated a will
ingness to help them In every pos
sible way.
Among the representatives from
the south were R. C. Fulbright, of
the Houston Cotton Exchange; F. G.
Riordan, of the Savannah Cotton Ex
change; R. C. Dickerson, Texas Cot
ton Exchange, and A. M. Mayne, New’
Orleans Cotton Exchange.
