COTTON
NEW YORK. Nov. 29.—Notwithstanding
the 'Liverpool dock fires, which were said
to involve considerable cotton, tire Eng
Jish market made a very weak showing
today und there was continued selling by
bouses with British trade connections. The
opening was steady at an advance of 2
points on October, but generally 7 to 27
points net lower, with January selling
off to 14.53 or 32 points below Saturday’s
closing and into now low ground for the
reason. There was also southern selling, but
trade buying to fix prices on call cotton,
as well as a good deal of covering ab
sorbed the eaerly offerings and caused rallies
of several points before the end of the
first hour.
Liverpool trade advices estimated nt be
tween IS.OOO and 20.000 bales of evtton had
been destroyed in the fire of Saturday, but
the English market showed continued weak
ness and there were reports tb.it spots
were being offered on a lower basis in the
southwest without finding buyers. Offer
ings were vjry well taken during the early
trading, however, and there were mid-morn
ing rallies which carried January to 15.25
*nd March to 15.22, or 27 to 40 points net
higher. This improvement was not fully
maintained, later fluctuations being irreg
ular with the market quiet but fairly
Iteady around midday.
Trading was quiet but the market showed
rather a steadier tone during the middle of
the afternoon, particularly in the ease of
December, which sold up to 15.38, or 38
points net higher, on reports of better ex
port demand in Texas and covering.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 29.—Conditions tn
Liverpool dominated the early trading in
eotton today but the fire there did not have
the effect it naturally would because Liver-
K>ol refused to rise on it. Th meet the
luctnations in this market at the week-end
jverpool should have been 49 to 54 Eng
lish points down, but its declines were as
wide as 72 to 81 points at one time. This
caused a lower opening here and the ef
fect of the fire was further minimized
>y private cablegrams stating that only
20.000 bales had been destroyed out of a
lock of 574.000 bales, of which 507.000
>ales were American, according to the count
It the end of Inst week.
Prices here fell off Id to 22 pointe around
the opening .except that July at its lowest
was still 2 points over the close of Satur
day. After the first selling flurry there
was a reaction to net advances of 14 t 024
points. January traded down to 13.82 and
Hi to 14.18. Liverpool's only explanation
for its course was that sentiment was
bearish.
The market became firm and fairly active
•nd in the trading up to 11 o’clock went
5 to 35 points over the close of Saturday,
January advancing to 14.38.
The report that two large Carolina mills
Were resuming full time, and telegrams from
Houston noting a better spot demand gave
he mirket marked firmness for a while dur
ng the second half of the session, and in th?
trading up to 1:30 o'clock the net advance
Was widened to 35 to 55 points, January
eiitnhing to 14.47 c.

SHEPARD * GLUCK’S COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 29.—While the
Liverpool fire was slow in having its effect
on the price of cotton today, there were
fairly strong advances after the selling
flurry of around the opening was over,
this selling being merely the reflection of
the bearish sentiment on tap iu the Eng
lish market, where prices broke instead of
bulging: the hitter being the natural "thing
to expect following incendiarism which
wiped out from 20.000 to 30.000 bales of
eotton. to say nothing of the eotton dam
aged by water. This initial decline amount
ed to 16 to 22 points, except on July, which
at its lowest was still 2 points over the
close of Saturday. These losses were re
covered and replaced by net advances which
finally, late in the session, amounted to
85 to" 55 points.
January traded down to 13.82 and reacted
to 14.47. Reports that two large mills iu
the Carolinas had resumed full time after
Slaving run half time for several weeks, the
'claim by Waco. Texas, that some invest
ment buying was appearing in spots and the
Houston messages claiming n •'e-
mand for all grade sat n slightly higher
basis, all heelped the market at the ad
vance Liveerpool says that hedges against
the cotton lost in the fire have yet to be
covered The market unquestionably is
short and while bearish feeling is strong
technical conditions may dominate at any
time.
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
J. W Juv & Co.: Prices have reached a
point where' many conservative interests are
inclined to look for buying periods ami the
market shows that there is more disixisition
to moderately accumulate contracts than for
some time past.
Movse * Holmes: We look for lower prices
In the near future and would sell on bulges.
S. M. Weld & Co.: Although we see noth
ing in sight to cause a sustained rally, and
while u further decline seems more than
probable, nevertheless we believe that Hie
short sid is dnngerotis and prefer buying mod
erately on a scale down with the idea of
.bceepting moderate profits at least for the
■time being.
Gwathmey & Co.: We arc inclined to ad
vise conservative purchases on weak markets,
but this policy may result in temporary
losses, ns the market is still suffering from
the effect of an unprecedented collapse In
values. Sooner or later, however, we look
lor a substantial recovery in prices.
THE ATLANTA TBUVKEKLY JOURNAL.
Commodity Prices
Continue to Drop
The downward trend of commodity prices
was again pronounced this week. Dun's list
of wholesale quotations, for the twenty
ninth consecutive week, disclosing more re
cessions than advances, the former number
ing 103 and the latter only 10. Conspicuous
weakness prevailed in nil grains, reflecting
a disappointing demand from abroad, large
crops and more liberal marketing by farmers.
| Wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley sold down
to new low levels, while flour touched the
lowest point in several years. In live
meats, there was not much* change in beef,
but hogs were influenced by the fall in corn
prices, and Sheep were easier under pressure
of ratlir heavy receipts. Fresh butter de
clined about a cent, but dairy products, as
n whole, were extremely firm and the best
quality eggs brought the highest prices
ever recorded. The holding off policy of
buyers continues to have n more or less de
pressing effect on iron nnd steel prices, fur
ther concessions being reported, and trad
ing in the miscellaneous metals remains slow,
with the undertone of all products easy. Ef
forts to stimulate demand for cotton goods
are not meeting with succes in every in
stance. nnd the unsettlemcnt in the raw ma
terial market has an adverse bearing upon
conditions in merchandising channels. There
has been so essential improvement in the
footwear situation, and the demand for
leather is still restricted, with quotations
largely unestablished. A recent large clear
ance movement in sides, however. lias en
couragd a better feeling in that quarter.

Biggest Mail Robbery
Staged by Youths
In Just Four Minutes
OMAHA.—A tabloid chronological
history of the big events in the Coun
cil Bluffs man robery, the biggest
ever perpetrated in the United
States, iias been given by Chief In
spector Noah, who has charge of the
investigation. Here it is:
Robbery of mail car planned Oc
tober 26 by two Phillips boys and
Fred Poffcnbarger. They and others
met at home of T. A. Daly frequent
ly and rehearsed every detail. Also
rehearsed confessions to be made if
arrested. Planned to throw blame
on "mysterfous Oinahans.”
A week ago the chauffeur of a
“bandit car,” believed to be Keith
Collins, former captain in the air
service, took Phillips boys and Pof
fenbarger to Union Pacific transfer
in Council Bluffs.
Merle Phillips got in the engine,
telling the engineer he wanted to
ride to the station.
Orville Phillips and Poffenbarger
got on the step of the mail car. The
automobile followed the slowly-mov
ing train along the road.
Poffenbarger smashed the window
of the mail car door with a gun, un
fastened the door and he and Orville
got in. As rhe train slowed down by
the Rock Island crossing, they threw
out the first ten sacks they could get.
The chauffeur of the automobile
picked up the sacks. The boys
jumped out of the car and were
joined by Merle Phillips. The chauf
feur placed five of the sacks in the
automobile and drove away, leaving
the boys with the other five.
The Phillips boys hurried away
with three sacks. Poffenbarger
grabbed one sack, leaving the fifth.
The robbery was pulled in only
four minutes’ time.
Merle Phillips, arrested Monday,
confessed after twelve hours of
grilling. Others then arrested, in
cluding H. A. Reed, roomer at home
of Daly, who helped to hide the
money.
Hila Petersop gave the police in
formation involving Collins, her
f i a n c e.
Big Increases Shown
By Fish and Game
In Alabama Counties
MONTGOMERY. Ala.—(Special. )
Game and fish have greatly in
creased in all counties during the
past year, according to reports re
ceived by the state department of
conservation. John H. Wallace, Jr.
commissioner of conservation, today
said noto a cunty has reprted a de
crease. He produced a letter from
Joel D. Jones, of Dixon's Mills, game
and fish warden for Marengo county
to show the results of the game and
fish laws.
Mr. Jones said squirrel and quail
are more abundant than ever before
doves are found in greater numbers
this year than in many years, while
wild turkey and deer have been lo
cated in the jungles and canebrake*
along the river.
Takes Rabbit Bone
For Her Souvenir
PARIS. —Sadi Lecointe, winner of
the Gordon Bennett cup race for avi
ators, was just ready to go up from
the Buc aviation field the other day
when an American woman stepped
up and asked:
“Won't you take me up?”
“Surely,” replied Sadi. “Where do
you want to go?’’
“To Gambais. I do wish to see
that Landru villa.”
Sadi obliged, landing within 100
feet of the villa made famous by the
disappearance of eleven women to
whom Landru had promised mar
riage. When she departed she car
ried away a souvenir in the shape of
a piece of rabbit bone found in the
yard.
“Nothing is sacred for these Amer
icans.” Dandru said when he heard
of the occurrence.
Today’s High Skirts
To Come Down Soon
ATLANTIC CITY. —The knee
length skirt for women is only a fad
and will not come into popular usage,
according to the manufacturers at
tending the second annual conven
tion of the Associated Dress Indus
tries of America at the Hotel Break
ers.
These manufacturers and design
ers predicted that skirts for the ex
clusive trade would be lengthened
for next spring and summer styles.
They also said silk would be used
more extensively because of the fall
ing off in the demand for men’s silk
shirts and the break in the silk mar
ket.
SALVAGE DIVISION
GREAT SAVING TO
U. S. IS CLAIM
■WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Saving
for the government of more than
$33,400,060 through operations of the
salvage division of the quartermaster
general’s department is claimed in
the annual report of Major General
Harry L. Roge*- the quartermaster
general, made public tonight. This
sum, General Rogers asserted, in
cludes $11,600,000 realized through
the sale of material classified as
“waste,” “junk,” and “unserviceable,”
while the remainder of the saving
was accomplished by making avail
able for army use large quantities of
condemned supplies and equipment.
Surplus army p/operty still to be
disposed of at the end of the fiscal
year was estimated by General Rog
ers to have had a value of approxi
mately $200,000,000. The quarter
master general placed the percentage
of recovery to the government on
surplus stocks, based on original
cost, at 82 per cent.
Brigadier General Frank T. Hines,
chief of the transportation service,
in his annual report, also made pub
lic tonight, declared that an elaborate
study of military transportation
problems now “certainly would be
repaid many times in both lives and
treasure” should a subsequent emer
gency find the United States less
fortunately situated than it was a s
the outbreak of the world jvar.
General Hines also recommended a
closer connection between the mili
tary transportation division, the ship
ping board and the navy depart
ment: creation of an emergency
transportation service from units of
the merchant marine; creation of an
adequate reserve of transportation
personnel; careful analysis of trans
portation data gained in the war;
permanent organization of a separate
transporition service in the war de
partment. co-ordinating all phases
of the subject: immediate st£ps to
formulate plans for the rapid ex
pansion of the fleet of army trans
ports and cargo carriers in time of
war. and definition of a program to
be followed hereafter in requisition
ing merchant vessels for government
use in time of war.
Cotton Picking Ended,
Farmers Holding, Says
Federal Reserve Bank
Cotton picking in the south is prac
tically completed, with Georgia and
Alabama farmers holding their pro
duct for better prices and gining de
layed in Florida, according to the
monthly business review of the At
lanta Federal Reserve bank for No
vember.
The review states that the total
yield of apples in Georgia is about
>BB,OOO barrels, or 72 per cent of a
full crop. Crops of corn, sweet po
tatoes, Irish potatoes, peanuts, to
bacco, rice and sugar were somewhat
above the same month last year, says
the review.
The review notes a decrease in
wholesale business, attributed to a
reluctance of retailers to increase
their stocks until the public shows
a better disposition to buy. Depart
ment stores in many parts of the
Sixth district showed an increase
in business for the month of October,
1920, over October. 1919,, and a cor
responding increase of stocks. At
lanta is an exception.
The lumber market is expected to
remain quiet until buyers begin to
place orders for 1921 requirements,
says the review. Wage reductions ot
as much as 25 per cent have been
made by some mills and prices are
reported to have reached the cost or
production, resulting in a lengthen
ing list of mills closed, although pro
duction is still in excess of the de
mand.
Labor supply in all states of the.
district, except Louisiana., seems to
be adequate, says the review. Strikes
for higher wages in New Orleans
have resulted in a tie-up of con
struction operations.
BRIBERY CHARGED
IN GAMBLING PROBE;
POWERS’ WIFE HELD
(Continued from Page 1)
story at the police station, Solicitor
Boykin was springing his charges
of bribery at the courthouse.
Powers’ attorneys, Sam D. Hew
lett and John S. McClelland, of the
firm of Key, McClelland & McClel
land, moved for a continuance of
his trial on the ground that they
hadn’t had time to prepare their
case. The hearing was held in Judge
Humphries’ chambers.
Solicitor Boykin, opposing the mo
tion, declared that H. C. Holley and
Wade Lamar, his two principal wit
nesses against Powers, had been ap
proached with offers of “hush
money.”
He said that this had happened in
Augusta, Macon and Columbus,
where Holley and Lamar have been
pending Powers’ trial.
At Columbus, declared the solic
itor, Holley was approached by a
man who said he was a lawyer of
Macon. The solicitor said the man
offered to take SII,OOO to Holley’s
cousin, Roy Holley, in Augusta, if
Holley himself would refuse to tes
tify against Powers. The man told
Holley, said the solicitor, that the
money would be put up by men in
Atlanta. This is the sum Holley
claims Powers and his friends swin
dled him out of at the fake “rac
ing-horse” rooms at 25 West Peach
tree street.
Approached in Atlanta
Solicitor Boykin said Holley re
fused this offer and came on to At
lanta to attend the meeting of the
grand jury that idicted Powers. At
the Terminal station, declared the so
licitor. Holley and Lamar both were
approached by a man who introduced
himself bby a name well known in
Atlanta.
No mention was made of money at
the Terminal, said the solicitor, but
Holley’s suspicions were aroused be
cause the man asked him if he knew
“Texas.”
"No.” Holley replied, according to
the solicitor, “but I know ‘Kansas'.”
“Kansas,” said the solicitor, is a
nickname of Abe Powers.
The man’s actions were so peculiar,
said the solicitor, that after a short
conversation Holley left, but first de
tailed his brother, who was with him,
to follow the stranger.
The solicitor said that Holley’s
brother ond a companion trailed the
man, who was also accompanied by
a companion, to a Peachtree street
restaurant. There, said the solicitor,
Holley’s brother stationed himself at
the door and sent his companion for
a policemon; but when the police
man ariivea. the two suspects had
escaped by a rear door.
Other names were mentioned by
the solicitor as men who, he declar
ed, had approached Holley with of
fers of money for his silence. For
this reason, argued the solicitor, it
was highly important that the case
against Powers be pressed and no
delays permitted that would give
Powers’ friends the chance to crush
the investigation.
Trial Fixed for Tuesday
Judge Humphries asked the solic
itor if he could bring proofs that
bribes had been offered Holley or
Lamar in Fulotn county, in which
case indictments against the bribers
should be sought from the grand
jury. The solicitor replied that,
while bribes had been offered out
right in Columbus and Macon, the
conversations never reached the
point of money in Atlanta.
At this stage of the arguments,
it was so late in the morning that
Judge Humphries said it would be
impossible to begin the trial that
day. Accordingly, he fixed the case
for the first thing Tuesday morning
and refused the request of Powers’
attorneys for further postponement.
WIDOW, STEPSON
AND SISTER-IN-LAW
HELD ON WARRANTS
(Continued from Page 1)
caused by some strong corrosive,
probably bichloride of mercury.
Dr. Everhardt on Stand
Asked how long it would take bi
chloride to produce death. Dr. Funke
replied that a person might live a
week after swallowing this deadly
corrosive poison. Mr. Shepard was
taken sick on May 27 and died on
June 1.
Di. Everhardt. the second witness,
declared that he had made two sep
arate and distinct chemical analyses
of the viscera, the first about two
weeks ago. when the body was ex
humed for the first time at the in
stance of Solicitor General Garrett.
The first analysis, said Dr. Ever
hardt. showed the presence of mer
cury in the vital organs, but as a
person taking calomel in treatment
would have a certain amount of mer
cury in his system, this first ex
amination did not furnish absolute
proof of the presence of a corrosive
poison.
The second chemical examination,
made after the second exhumation
of the body on November 17, showed
positive e idence that bichloride of
mercury was present In the viscera,
declared Dr. Everhardt. Further
more, he said, it was evident that
the poison had been administered
through the mouth, since white
spots, caused by the action of the
strong corrosive, were found along
the inner lining of the esophagus,
stomach and. in fact, the entire
course of the alimentary canal. The
fact that Mr. Shepard had been giv
en considerable quantities of calomel
made it necessary to take more time
in the chemical analysis than would
otherwise have been necessary, said
Dr. Everhardt.
Dr. Brown Testifies
The third witness was Dr. Brown,
the physician who attended Mr.
Shepard during his fatal illness. He
testified that when he was first
called, the patient showed some
symptoms of dysentery, and the ini
tial treatment was the administra
tion of calomel in an effort to purge
his system. This treatment failed
to produce results, said Dr. Brown,
and he decided that Mr. Shepard was
suffering from intestinal obstruc
tion. An operation performed June
1 showed that this condition did
not exist, the physician declared, al
though it was found that the pa
tient’s intestines were terribly in
flamed. There was no evidence of
disease, he said, but, on the con
trary, there were symptoms to indi
cate that Mr. Shepard was suffering
from poisoning.
It was after Dr. Brown had re
ported the case to Solicitor General
Garrett that the investigation was
begun and the first chemical exami
nation of the viscera made by Dr.
Everhardt.
The hearing before the coroner’s
jury was conducted by Solicitor Gen
eral Garrett, while Harris Neal, may
or of Fort Valley, was foreman of
the jury. After-deliberating briefly
upon the evidence submitted, trie
jury returned a verdict declaring
that Mr. Shepard came to his death
by poisoning caused by bichloride of
mercury administered by unknown
persons.
Hearing Held in Movie Theater
The hearing was held in a motion
picture theater to accommodate the
curious and interested throng that
flocked into Fort Valley to witness
what they expected to be one of the
most sensational developments of a
sensational case. The jury had seats
on the cramped little stage, close to
the witness chair and that of the so
licitor general.
Mrs. Elmer, with her attorney,
Charles Durrance, also of Jackson
ville, Fla., had arrived here at noon
and had taken rooms at a hotel near
the theater. Bringing a stenographer
with them, Mrs. Elmer and Attorney
Durrance left the hotel unobserved,
eluded several photographers, and,
gaining admission to the theater by
a rear entrance, located themselves
in the wings on the stage, where they
remained throughout tfce hearing.
The stenographer took down ev
ery scrap of evidence in shorthand,
and when the jury had rendered jts
verdict, Mrs. Elmer, her attorney and
the stenographer made their appear
ance from behind the curtain, creat
ing a mild sensation among the spec
tators.
As Mrs. Elmer left the theater she
was placed under arrest by Sheriff
Robinson on a bail trover warrant
sworn out by Frederick Crandall,
nephew of Mr. Shepard. She was
taken at once to the office of Attor
ney Louis L. Brown, now executor of
the Shepard estate, where she made
bond in the sum of $120,000 and
signed an agreement instructing her
attorney, Eldridge Cutts, to turn over
to the executor everything she pos
sessed that .was a part of the Shep
ard estate. This property, it is un
derstood, included $52,000 worth of
stock in the Nicholls-Shepard com
pany, of Battle Creek, Mich.; a $3,-
000 mortgage on property in Georgia;
one Peerless automobile; five notes
of SSOO each of the Nicholls-Shepard
company; one municipal bond of the
city of Hogansville, Ga„ value, SSOO,
and deeds to SIO,OOO worth of prop
erty in Portland, Ore.
Shows Effect of Strain
While in the office of Attorney
Brown, she was aken into custody
on a warrant charging murder sworn
out by Solicitor General Garrett. Mrs.
Elmer had maintained her composure
throughout the afternoon and han
manifested no emotion during the
hearing before the coroner’s jury, but
when arrested on the murder war
rant, she became very much excited
and was removed to the Winona
hotel, where she developed hysteria
and showed the effects of the ner
vous strain under which she had
been laboring.
She refused to make any statement
whatever, saying that her attorney.
Mr. Durrance, would nvi.ke whatever
statements were necessary. He de
clined to say anything regarding the
case. Mrs. Elmer remained at the
hotel in the custody of Sheriff Rob
inson until the arrival of the Ma
con train at midnight.
The arrest of Mrs. Henry anci
Ernest Hopson at Perry occurred
within an hour after Mrs. Elmer's
arrest in this city. At first it was
planned to remove Mrs. Henry to the
Bibb county jail at Macon, but her
husband came to Fort Valley, made
a plea to Judge H. A. Matthews
and secured permission for Mrs
Henry to remain at her home ii.
Perry under guard to be furnished b
the sheriff. This order will remain
in effect until the preliminary hear
ing. the date of which has not been
fixed.
Upon the death of Mr. Shepard,
his wife took charge of the estate
as administratrix, no will having
been found. She gave bond as re
quired by law. with Frederick Cran
dall. nephew of the deceased, as se
curity. . - Mr. Crandall this afternoon
took out a bail trover warrant to
secure release from his liability on
the bond and on this warrant Mrs.
Elmer was arrested, obtaining hei
release by turning over the propertj
of Mr. Shepard, only to be re-arrest
ed on the murder charge,
Fate of Passengers
Is Still Undetermined
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 27.—Fate
of eighteen persons aboard the steel
barge W. J. Pirrie, reported driven

Next Big Industrial Tour,
Now Being Planned, to Be
Through State of Georgia
Members Determine to See,
Home Resources That!
Eastern People Reminded
Them of on Recent Visit
BY JOHN PASCHALL
Get ready for the next big indus
trial tour. Plans are already being
made by officials of the Greater
Georgia Tech campaign, who so suc
cessfully piloted 127 leading busi
ness men, bankers, manufacturers
and educators through the industrial
centers of the middle west and the
east, to conduct another tour, but
this time it will be through the state
of. Georgia.
Having shown leading Georgians
what the middle west and the east
have accomplished in the way of
technical education and manufac
turing, it is proposed early nert year
to conduct these same Georgians
and as many others as have caught
the vision of Georgia’s industrial op
portunity, on a journey through their
own state that they may lea-rn of
the wonderful natural resources
which development. That
practically every man who was a
member of the Greater Georgia Tech
Industrial special will make an ef
fort to participate in this tour ot
their home state is a certainty and
it is believed that scores of others
will join them.
Wickes Wambolt, financial director
of the Greater Georgia Tech move
ment, announced to the Georgians
during their meeting at. the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology, that
a tour of Georgia was planned and
the proposal was received with en
thusiasm. That Mr. Wambolt had
sensed the true feeling of the Geor
gians became more and more evi
dent as the Tech special moved back
toward Atlanta, for in spite of all
the wonders they had seen and the
stupid blindness to the industrial
possibilities of Georgia of which the
trip had convinced and convicted
them, there was not. a man aboard
who was not mighty glad to be back
on Georgia soil. While our ambition
to see a greater Tech and a greater
industrial Georgia was stirred, no
Georgian returned home less proud of
the Empire State than when he left.
And well might we feel a pride, for
did we not hear from the lips of
the greatest manufacturers and the
leading scientists and techinal men
of the nation that Georgia is a state
blessed of God in a plenitude of
natural resources? We heard it in
Cincinnati, where Georgia oil is man
ufactured into Crisco and other culi
nary necessities and where Georgia
clay is turned into miracles of pot
tery. We heard it in Pittsburg from
the distinguished head of Mellon in
stitute, Dr. Raymond F. Bacon, and
from the great business genius. E.
M. Herr, president of the Westing
house Electric company. We heard
it in Buffalo from the engineers of
the Pierce-Arrow Automobile com
pany, the Dunlop Rubber company
and the Lackawanna Steel, company.
We heard it again at Niagara Falls
from John L. Harper, who conceived,
planned and built the world’s great
est hydro-electric plant.
Coolidge Stressed It
If there.were any in the Georgia
delegation, unconvinced of the
state’s resources, tirey must have
lost their doubt at Cambridge, Mass.,
the seat of classical and technical
education in this country, if not in
the world. In that famed city of
erudition, no less a personage than
the vice president-elect of the
United States, Governor Calvin Cool
idge, once more reminded the Geor
gians of their resources and sug
gested that it would be well for
New England to send her business
men to Georgia to learn more about
them.
Finally in the great metropolis of
the world. New Y’ork City, the Geor
gians had living demonstrations of
Georgia’s finest products in the
presence of her sucessful native
sons who had come to New York
and matched their brains, their en
ergy and their skill aginst the best
that could be found in that mael
strom of human endeavor, and prov
ed that a Georgia man is the equal
of any two-footed animal that trods
the earth.

BRITISH FIRE LOSS
OF SATURDAY NIGHT
RUNS INTO MILLIONS
(Continued from Page 1>
a congested factory district and a
fire once started would have created
a sufficient diversion to permit out
breaks in other parts of the city.
Half a dozen men who were pre
paring to set fire to a large lumber
yard in the district of Finsbury, an
important section of the city of Lon
don less than a mile north of Lon
don bridge, were surprised by a po
liceman Saturday night. This at
tempt was almost coincident with the
breaking out of incendiary fires in
Liverpool.
The policeman challenged a loiter
er, who immediately attacked the offi
cer and shouted for help. Five men,
with revolvers, answered his call,
emerging from behind some empty
wagons and rushing the policeman,
who was compelled to liberate the
man he had seen. All the men es
caped. Searching behind the wagons
the policeman found cotton waste
soaked with gazoline, which had been
pushed through a gateway of a lum
ber yard, and he also discovered two
revolvers and 100 cartridges. One
of the supposed incendiaries was
later arrested.
Plans for the defense of England
against sinn fein attacks were for
mulated today at a meeting of the
British cabinet.
Full reports of the dock fires in
Liverpool Saturday night and the
alleged incendiary effort here were
laid before the ministers.
Indications that the officials are
concerned over the possibility of
further efforts in London was given
in the attendance of General Hor
wood, commissioner of police and
Sir Basil Thompson, of Scotland
Yard.
It was presumed the matter of
extra patrols was discussed togeth
er with the need of greater protec
tion for some of the government
buildings and public officials.
The Irish office made no official
statement, but the attitude of nigh
authorities was that the sinn fein
movement was dissipating itself in a
final effort. .
The Liverpool docks were visited
by thousands of curious persons to
day despite the stringent rules of
the sentries. The visitors pressed
as closely as possible to the smoul
dering ruins along the docks, all
that was left of millions of dol
lars worth of buildings and goods.
Man Makes Valuable
Find Among Savages
Natives of the Cook Islands in the
Pacific Ocean are reported by a trav
eler returning from a voyage there to
be taking a vegetable oil for rheu
matism which is said to accomplish
amazing results. He says he saw
badly crippled natives completely
cured by swallowing a little of this
oil twice a day. Hundreds of letters
from rheumatic sufferers have been
answered and oil sent them free after
he returned to America. Mr. P. E.
Wilkes, now at the Georgian Terrace
Hotel in Atlanta, Ga„ can supply
those interested with further infor
mation and a sample of the oil free.
