Former Manager of Govern
or Cox Declares That Man
Who Collected Fund Was
Disgusted and Quit
CHICAGO, Sept. 2. —The senate
committee investigating the cam
paign expenditures adjourned short
ly after noon without having heard
Edmund Moore of Ohio, Governor
Cox’s personal representative. Chair
man Kenyon announced that the com
mittee would meet in Chicago next
Tuesday, September 7, to hear Moore
and other witnesses,
cratic speakers’ bureau.
“Tile senate investigating commit
tee can either dig up the proof of
Gov, Cox’s charges or it can leaxe
matters so that Truman Newberry
will have a lot of distinguished I
company,” said Mr. Moore, while 1
waiting for the committee to de
cide whether it would hear nim.
“If the committee will call those |
regional directors they can find out
the real quotas, not only for states
but, for cities,” said Mr.’ Moore.
“Treasurer Upham testified that
Georgia’s quota was $25,300. I am
prepared to show that sum was the
quota of Atlanta alone and that it
was all raised by June 14. I can
name the man wno raised it. He
was so disgusted when Harding
was nominated that he quit and said
he would not support the ticket.”
Mr. Moore declared that the Re
publicans had corrupted Lincoln’s
“government by the people” into the
“government buy the people.”
Further investigation into the Re
publican year-book, being prepared
by William Barnes, of the Albany
Evening Journal, will be undertaken
by the committee next week in Pitts
burg, it was announced today by Sen.
ator Kenyon. The committee there
Will devote particular attention to
Charges that liquor interests have
contributed to various campaign
funds, Senator Kenyon said. Mr.
Barnes will be subpoenaed to appear
at Pittsburg meetings, it was an
nounced.
Miles J. Poindexter, of Washing
ton, recent candidate for the Repub
lican presidential nortiination, and
chairman of the Republican sena
torial committee, told the investiga
tors that the $3,000 which his com
mittee s£nt E. O. Weller, Republican
candidate for the senate from Mary
land, was not an example of the gen
eral practice of the committee;
"There is no fixed rule or system
by which candidates are helped.”
explained Senator Poindexter. “We
supply funds for campaign activi
ties upon which we have agreed with
the candidate or his campaign or
ganization.”
Senator Kenyon brought out that
the senatorial committee had an ar
rangement by which the former’s
maximum campaign fund of $200,000
was guaranteed by the national
committee. In return, all moneys
collected by the senatorial commit
tee are turned back to the national
treasury of the party, Senator Poin
dexter said. He added that Senator
Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, is
chairman of a subcommittee In
charge of collecting funds and that
he in turn had organized an auxil
iary committee headed by Elliot
Wadsworth, of New York.
“They have not raised any money
to speak of.” Senator Poindexter
said, and Senator Reed of the inves
ts. ting committee supplemented
this with the remark, “not yet.”
Senator fomerone had the witness
state that the $200,000, if divided
equally among the thirty-two states
in wKich senatorial elections are to
be held this fall, would average $6,-
250 to the state, and he then called
attention to the federal statute lim
iting campaign expenses of a sena
torial candidate to SIO,OOO except in
states where a lower limit had been
set bv statute.

Buford Post of Legion
Denounces Hardwick,
Watson in Resolutions
BUFORD, Ga., Sept. 2.—lvy Wood
ward post of the American Legion,
organized here by former service
men, has unanimously adopted the
following resolutions denouncing the
candidacies of Thomas E. Watson
and Thomas W. Hardwick:
“Whereas, Ivy Woodward post of
the American Legion, at its
meeting at Buford, Ga., August 31,
1920, desires to record itself on the
Issues not (Only confronting the peo
ple of Georgia, but which have re
cently confronted the citizens of Bu
ford.
“Therefore, be it resolved, that we
denounce the candidacies of Thomas
s E. Watson and Thomas W. Hardwick
and also condemn the recent per
sonal conduct of Thomas E. Watson
in our city on August 18 as being
v.nchivairous and indecent, and that
we resent the slander which both
Thomas E. Watson and Thomas W.
Hardwick have subsequently circu
lated as to the facts of that inci
dent, and further refute the state
ment made by Watson and echoed
' by Hardwick to the effect that Wat
son’s righteous arrest for public in
decency and disorderly conduct was
either a “frame-up” or an “out
rage,” and we publicly declare that
the action of the citizens of Buford
was impelled by motives of preserv
ing public order, and that the action
of the chief of police of Buford in
finally resorting to the arrest of Mr.
Watson after all persuasion had
failed was done only to avert a trag
edy and preserve the public peace
and decency.”
W. A. Plummer, an ex-enlisted
man, who served with distinction in
the Thirty-second division overseas,
, was elected temporary chairman of
the post and W. M. Adair, a private
in the Thirty-first division, overseas,
acted as secretary.

WEATHER
By Wireless
Leßoy Pasley, of Manhattan, Kan.,
taking wireless weather forecast ser
vice.
MANHATTAN, Kan. Kansas
farmers will not have to squint at
the sky or wait for the paper here
after to know whether they had bet
ter hurry and get in the hay. They’ll
get the weather by wireless.
That is, they will if they care
enough about it to put in a receiv
ing set —cost probably about $35 —
and teach the hired man or the farm
er’s boy how to tune it in.
E. A. Stewart, of the physics de
partment of the Kansas State Agri
cultural college, has established a
wireless weather report service tor
farmers; the first, he believes, of its
kind. Every morning at 9:55 he
sends out the day’s forecast. All
the farmers have to do is to equip
themselves to receive it.
COX PROMISES
TO TAKE CARE OF
“DIRT FARMERS”
COLUMBUS, Oh Sept. 2 —Governor
Cox today declared that if elected
president he would appoint “dirt
to responsible government
positions, including the secretary of
agriculture and members of the fed
eral reserve, and I regional reserve
board, tariff commissions and the
interstate commerce commission.
The Democratic presidential candi
date discussed agricultural questions
and outlined his proposed policies in
an address at the executive office, to
about one hundred representatives of
the national board of farm organiza
tions holding a convention here.
Federal regulation of cold stor
age facilities, a fair test of private
railroad ownership and operation
and co-operative buying and sell
ing by farmers was advocated by
Governor Cox. He also declared that
business, labor and agricultural in
terests must have defined by law
limitations which they can under
stand and stay within in their future
conduct.
Advocating apointment of farm
ers to the federal reserve board and
also regional boards, Governor Cox
added:
“I wish there were more farmers
on them now. A great many inter
ests do not look with favor on my
election because they want to change
the law (the federal reserve act) by
making bankers only eligible for
membership. Nothing could b'e more
menacing to the farmer.”
Georgia Highway
Trucks Not Required
To Buy License Tags
Motor trucks donated to the state
of Georgia by the federal govern
ment after the war, and allotted by
the state highway board to the coun
ties for use in the construction of
highways, will not be required to
pay the motor vehicle license tax, but
will be required to have identifica
tion tags, and the same will be is
sued by the secretary of state.
This plan was formulated Wed
nesday by a conference held in Sec
retary McLendon’s office. Attorney
General Denny, Highway Engineer
Neel and various county commission
ers and sheriffs were present. Colo
nel Denny held that the motor trucks
were not subject to the payment of
tax. but must have tags of identifi
cation.
Previously the highway depart
ment had purchased 500 metal tags
of a special design to use on the
trucks, and it was decided to have
these issued by the secretary of
state.

LACK OF BIDDERS
THREATENING AIR
MAIL EXTENSION
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
.623 Riggs Building.)
BY THEODORE TIEI.ER
Although only ten days remain for
the submission of bids, no bidders
have yet shown up at the postoffice
department with offers to carry the
mail by contract from New York to
Atlanta, and on several aerial routes
proposed through the west. The sec
ond Assistant Postmaster General
Praeger said today no bids had been
received but that he had been “prom
ised” bids before September 10.
About two months ago the post
office department advertised for bids
for carrying the mail by airplanes on
a number of routes which were to
supplement the routes now being
served by the department itself.
These bids were advertised for open
ing on September 10. There was just
one obstacle apparently in the way
and that was a “rider” inserted in
the postoffice appropriation bill
wherein congress stipulated that no
additional mail routes by air should
be established unless transportation
of the mail through the air could be
accomplished as cheaply as by train.
Congress made no concession because
of the rapidtiy of air delivery.
It developed today that bidders are
slow about coming forward, although
the postoffice department announce
ment gave them the privilege of bid
ding on one or more of several
routes.
Otto Praeger, nevertheless, refuses
to admit that he has lost hope re
garding extension of the air mail
service. He said today that he had
been promised bids by one or more
contractors and he confidently ex
pects their propositions before Sep
tember 10. Mr. Praeger is an en
thusiast about air mail deliveries and
wants to extend the system all over
the country.
Congress has stood in the way so
far and the best that could be ob
tained in the last apprppriation bill
was permission to extend the service
at a cost not exceeding what the
department is paying the railroads.
Along the Atlantic seaboard there
has been interest chiefly in the pro
posed air route from New York to
Atlanta, via Norfolk, Raleigh and
Columbia. Eventually the depart
ment expected to extend this route
to Key West. Various cities along
the route have been in competition
as "stopping places” or gasoline re
filling stations. Both Charlotte and
Greensboro, N. C., wanted to be in
cluded as stops, but so far the de
partment has not agreed to any stops
south of the Virginia line other than
Raleigh and Columbia, and it is said
that only local mail pouches are to
be left in these cities. The main
purpose of the proposed route is to
deliver mail rapidly in New York and
Atlanta, both great distributing cen
ters.
However, no bids have yet been re
ceived for this service, nor on any
of the other proposals offered by the
postoffice department, and there may
be no southern aerial route after all.
Mr. Praeger hopes there will be, be
cause he thinks the circuits now in
operation justify a country-wide ex
tension of air deliveries.
Asked today if he expected to get
any blds, Mr. Praeger said none had
been received but he expected them.
“Oh, yes, we will get bids, I am
confident,” he said. “You see, we
have ten days yet.”
‘‘But there has been no rush of
bidders during the past two months,”
it was suggested.
“We will get some bids before the
time is up. We have been promised
them,” said the enthusiastic Mr.
P ra e ger. ._
THOUSANDS HEAR
THOS. E. WATSON
SPEAK IN MACON
MACON, Ga., Sept. 2.—Macon
witnessed one of the greatest politi
cal events of its history last night
when Thomas E. Watson spoke to
a crowd estimated at 8,000 persons
at the new city auditorium. People
were standing in the aisles, standing
on ladders and sitting on the joists
of the unfinished building. Hun
dreds of women stood with the men
and fully 2,000 persons were turned
away,from the building.
When Mr. Watson entered the
building there was prolonged ap
plause and considerable cheering
greeted the speaker severd.l times
during his address. The applause,
however, was confined mostly to a
small group of Watson supporters
seated in front of the building.
Mr. Watson appeared to be well
pleased with his audience. He be
gan his address ‘with the events
of the war of '76 leading up to th6
war with Germany. He was severe
in his denunciation of President Wil
son. Mr. Watson criticized the gov
ernment for its manner of conduct
ing the war and was sarcastic in
his remarks regarding the stand the
Atlanta post of the American Legion
has taken against him.
U. S. Guarantee of Rail
Earnings Boosts Public
Debt $101,755,000
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. —Federal
guarantee of railroad earnings re
sulted in' an increase In the public
debt of $101,755,000 during August,
according to treasury figures issued
today showing the nation’s gross debt
to be $24,324,672,000.
Treasury records charge the In
crease in the public debt to an is
sue of certificates of indebtedness
offered August 16, sold to cover pay
ment to the railroads under the guar
antee provisions of the transporta
tion.
Advances to the carriers, against
probable deficits during the month,
were said by treasury officials to
have reached nearly $i60,000,000, and
on this basis they figured there
would have been a slight reduction
in the public debt had not the earn
ings guarantee been in effect.
Payments to the roads in August
do not correctly indicate the amount
to which they will be entitled when
a final accounting for the six months
period over which the guarantee ex
tended Is made, It was added. As
a result, the drain on the treasury
probably will continue for several
months, but officials believed it
would be possible to clear up all
transactions with the railroads with
the exception of the revolving fund
by the opening of the new year.
The figures made public today show
redemption of approximately $2,500,-
000 in Liberty bonds during the last
thirty days, about $1,500,000 of
which were of the third loan.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Sends Out Armored Cars
On Its Surface Lines
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—Armored
cars of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company were ordered sent out in
large numbers today, in defiance of
the strikers who were attempting to
tie up surface transportation in that
borough. These cars, sheathed in
wire screening as a safeguard
against the missiles of strikers,
moved through the streets at in
tervals, two policemen beside the
motorman, and one at the elbow of
the conductor. They carried but
very few passengers.
There was no prospect today of
an early settlement. Crowds of
strikers stood around the car barns,
which were heavily guarded by po
lice. A number of persons had been
injured in fights and by Hying stones,
but up to this morning there had
been no clashes approaching the di
mensions of riots.
John Kline, 17, was found lying
in the street in a dying condition
from a stab wound early this morn
ing. and the police theory was that
he had been mistaken for a strike
-1 breaker and attacked.

THREE BOYS ARE
BACK AFTER HIKE
OVER THE WORLD
Three Atlanta boys are seriously
considering the advisability of col
laborating on a descriptive work to
be entitled “The Impecunious Globe
Trotters, or Through Europe on
Thirty Cents.” They have just re
turned from a two months’ tour
which, they firmly aver, lays over the
famous pilgrimages of the well
known Mr. Cook like a country grid
dle cake over a restaurant steak.
And the whole trip cost them about
SIOO apiece.
The young gentlemen in question
are John Staton, who has won laurels
as the star athlete and all-round
scholarship man of Boys’ High;
Jimmy Calhoun, of 79 Highland View,
and Craig Mathews, of 172 Cypress
street, both of them prominent in
school affairs. With them on their
travels was Bob Gray, of Newport
News, Va., whom they annexed as
a companion just prior to their de ;
parture for the other side of the
big pond.
The trio of Atlanta boys left on
June 21, having decided to make the
most of their vacation by seeing a
little of the world. They wheedled
SSO apiece out of their parents, de
parted for Newport News and after
two weeks of waiting, during which
time they worked in the shipyards,
shipped on a tramp steamer bound
for Antwerp, Belgium. It so happen
ed that the vessel carried several
hundred head of cattle, so John and
Jimmy and Craig and Bob found
themselves in attendance upon the
more or less healthy bovine speci
mens going overseas to swell the
foodstock of our European neighbors.
They spent seventeen days on the
high seas and the boys insist that
the phrase is well chosen. Appetites
were decadent during most of the
trip across, but the quartet bore up
nobly under a menu consisting of
soup, spaghetti, doubtful bread, cod
fish, “spuds” and beef so tough it
could be bent, but not otherwise
port at Antwerp, they saw
the town, spent all their money for
souvenirs and passed on to Korsor,
Denmark, where, by dint of scratch
ing about and selling some of their
personal belongings, they scraped up
enough funds to visit the castle
where the Hamlet is supposed to
have starred in the original cast.
Copenhagen, Helsingfors, a place
with an unpronounceable name—
Brunsbuttelsboog, Ostend, Kiel, Cal
ais, Zeebrugge and Flushing were in
cluded in their itinerary, the quartet
of Americans managing to see all
the sights by dint of strategy or
plain, old-fashioned nerve in lieu of
ready cash.
They went along over to the mouth
of the Thames when ther cattle
boat finally bucked across the chan
nel and they spent a day or two in
London, calling on the king but find
ing him out, inspecting the British
museum and the various other points
of interest. Fourteen more days on
the old tub of a cattleboat brought
them to New York, where they
cleaned up as best they could, se
cured the expert attention of a dis
tracted barber and took in Ziegfeld’s
Follies, Chinatown, Broadway and
Forty-second street. Busted again,
they had purchased their tickets back
to Atlanta and the trio returned to
the bosoms of their respective fam
ilies on Tuesday, having left the
fourtr member of the party in New
port News.
“Denmark and Germany are the
cheapest places in the world to live
in,” said John Staton, describing his
travels with great gusto. “The rich
est man in Korsor is worth 3,000
Kronen, about S3OO and if I had a
case of plain old soap. I could buy
out three-fourths of Germany.”
Wannamaker Asks
Cotton Growers For
Acreage Reduction
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sent. 2.
Drastic reduction in acreage in the
cotton growing states and the for
mation of an export corporation for
the marketing of products were rec
ommended by President J. S. WanYia
maker, president of the American
Cotton association, in his address
delivered Wednesday to important
committees, at the annual meeting of
the Alabama division and southern
tommissioners of agriculture.
The president made the following
recommendations:
First, to secure the necessary ex
tensions of credits so as to permit
the economic handling of the cotton
crop.
Second, to recommend a minimum
price for cotton.
Third, to set aside 25 per cent of
the best grades from the growing
crop, removing that entirely from
the market until next May, June and
July, and the orderly marketing of
same.
Fourth, to put into force and ef
fect a drastic reduction in cotton
acreage and enormously increase the
production of food and feed crops.
Fifth, to form an export corpora
tion for the purpose of marketing
cotton, especially the lower grades,
,into Central Europe.

Prisons Are Popular
In Distressed Moscow;
A Meal Costs a Fortune
TERIJOKI, Finland, Russian Fron
tier, Aug. 20 (By the Associated
Press.) —A first-hand view of Petro
grad and Moscow, those two centers
of soviet rule which are hermetically
sealed against outside observers, was
obtained by the Associated Press cor
respondent just prior to his deporta
tion to this point.
Moscow is a city teeming with ac
tivity, its streets, squares and ba
zaars crowded with people, and with
little outward evidence of distress,
except the daily struggle of people
seeking their allotted quota, of food.
But Petrograd, once one of the bus
iest and gayest capitals in the world,
is a city of deserted streets, with
only scattered groups of people in
those centers which were formerly
the scenes of greatest activity.
Traversing the entire length of
the Nevski Prospect, formerly the
grand boulevard running from the
Nova river, one passes fewer than a
hundred people. Along the banks
of the Neva, from the winter palace
down to the Alexandrovsky bridge,
cordwood is piled high along the
beautiful marble and stone balus
trades and throughout the streets.
Conscripts Provide Fuel
It is being unloaded from barges
by enforced labor. After the con
script labor finishes its day’s work,
groups of men and women gather
through the night to carry away
stray bits of wood remaining for
their winter supply of fuel. Women
are among the workers on the barges,
standing waist deep in the water
logged craft and handling big cross
cut saws.
The food prices at Petrograd are
generally about 15 per cent higher
than at Moscow, where at the end of
July beets sold for 4,000 rubles a
pound. (The American dollar is worth
about two or three thousand depre
ciated rubles.) Pork then was sell
ing for-5,000 rubles; sugar, 4,000 ru
bles: salt, 1,000 rubles; black bread,
1.000 rubles; small white brea rolls,
200 rubles each; potatoes, 700 rubles,
and eggs. 300 rubles each.
Air of Military Rule
An atmosphere of military rule
permeates Moscow more than any
of the other cities. The population
is under a constant nervous strain
and few are able to avoid arrest by
the supreme counter revolutionary
committee. Persons disappear into
prisons and no charges are preferred
against them. If they are finally set
free, they encounter the greatest dif
ficulties in living. The popular say
ing in the city now is that Moscow’s
population is divided into three class
es: Those who have been imprisoned,
those in prison and those who will
be.
At present Moscow is in a gala new
red dress entertaining delegates to

PEANUT GROWERS j
URGED TO HOLD
YEAR’S HARVEST'
ALBANY, Ga., Sept. I.—Georgia
peanut growers were advised to hold
their crop of this year’s harvest un
til December 1> or such time as u.
profitable price may be obtained, and
to retain at least one-third of their
cotton seed on their farms to be
used as fertilizer and hold tne re
mainder for a fair price, by the exec
utive committee of the Georgia Pea
nut Growers’ association, which met
here Tuesday.
W. W. Webb, of Hahira, president
of the association, presided at the
meeting. W. J. Lyons, of Atlanta,
secretary, read a report of his in
vestigations during a visit to Wash
ington, showing that while the im
portation of vegetable oil actually
decreased during the season of 1919-
20 under the importations of 1918-
1919, the price of the product has
decreased 62 1-2 per cent in the face
of a steadily increasing demand.
While the stocks on hand August 1
of this year were slightly greater
than on the same date last year, the
report stated, the increased con
sumption will more than dissipate
this supply before this year’s crop
is on the market in the shape of
refined oil.
In addition to the' resolution ad
vising farmers to hold their peanuts
and cotton seed, the committee also
decided to look up the work of the
Georgia Peanut Growers’ association
with that in Virginia and Teslas, al
ready organized, and Alabama, soon
to organize, and to take steps to as

been promoted recently to this
agency. With the same road, how
ever. This job pays me $l5O a
month, with JJxpress and Western
Union commisffon. I never will re
gret the time I spent in Newnan
learning telegraphy. I like the work
fine. There is a big demand for
telegraphers—all the railroads need
them bad. Write me real soon.
Yours very truly,
EWELL GARRISON.
Our graduates are in great de
mand at all times, and we guaran
tee every student a position paying
not less than $87.50 to $l3O a month,
when qualified. They are rapidly
advanced to the higher-salaried posi

month.
Our course embraces telegraphy,
railway accounting (station agency),
typewriting and penmanship. The
dispatcher’s wire of the Central of

room. We pay student’s railroad
fare to Newnan in excess of $12.00.
Since the first day of January We
have received more calls from rail
road officials for graduates to fill
good paying positions than we could
possibly fill. The demand for teleg
