► RESERVE BOARD’S POLICY SCORED BY SENATOR HARRIS The Atlanta Journal News Bureau, 623 Riggs Building. BY THEODORE TILLER WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—Sharp Criticism of the federal reserve board’s policy regarding agricultural loans and price depression, together ■With the suggestion that he would not be averse to it if some of the members of the board should resign, was voiced in the senate late Mon day afternoon by Senator William J. Harris, of Georgia. • Senator Harris spoke in connection With house amendments to the senate bill restoring the war finance corpor ation. He said he would vote for the house amendment so as to hurry action on the farmers’ relief legis lation. Saying he would accept the house amendment which struck out the senate .proviso virtually directing the reserve board to “loosen up” on agricultural credits. Senator Harris expressed doubt that the board would pay attention to such an expression, anyway. The Georgia senator said: “I am going to vote to concur in the house amendment for two rea sons. In the first place, the distressed condition of the farmers of the coun try is such that if we are going to give them help, we ought to do it without delay. In the second place, the second section suggests to the federal reserve board that they help the farmers in a certain way. The record of the federal reserve board, as made in the past few months, in regard to the farmers, shows that they are not going to help the farmers in the exercise of their pow ers, but they are going to do every thing in their power to hurt the farmers. “The other day when this joint resolution was before the senate. I offered an amendment making the rate of rediscount 5 per cent on agri cultural paper, but the senate saw fit to vote that down. I had previ ously introduced in the senate a bill to reduce the rediscount rate on agri cultural paper to 5 per cent. “Since that time it seems that the federal reserve board has inspired two statements which have been ■given to the papers and have gone all over the country. One was that if congress made any suggestions like this, the members of the fed eral reserve board would resign, and the other was that the rediscount rate had nothing to do with helping the farmers of the country at this time. “Now, so far as I am concerned, if some of the members of that board who have been giving statements to the press that depressed the price of cotton and wheat and doing every thing they could to injure the farm ers of this country, would resign, I would be very thankful. I will go beyond that, and say that if the friends of the farmers in this body will join with me, we will not allow to be confirmed any member of that board who has been against helping the farming interests of the country in times of such distress, and we will not wait for their resignations. “The federal reserve bank act is one of the greatest in our history. There is nothing that has accom plished greater good. The New York bankers, the international bankers, as the senior senator from Idaho (Mr. Borah), said the other day, seem to have the ear of some of the fed eral reserve bank officials more than the farmers of this country, and I agree with him fully in that. The bankers who are opposed to the leg islation can destroy it by getting the ear of men on that board who will listen to them instead of the appeals of the representatives of the farmers of this country. That is the best way for the international bankers of this country to have the federal re serve act repealed or amended so as to destroy its usefulness to the peo ple of the country and to the agri cultural masses who are so much in need of assistance at this time.” r=£= n] AVarming relief* for rheumatic aches.

Sweet Potatoes Can Be Kept Easily; Here’s One Method Editor of The Journal: In two re cent issues of your paper you spoke of the difficulty confronting the farmers who have grown the sweet potato for commercial purposes Unless a ready and profitable mar ket can be obtained for perishable crops like fruit and vegetables, someone looses and discouragement is sure to be experienced. To bank the sweet potato for preservation is a mere subterfuge and often results in disappointment. The curing houses are better, but if they are not managed scientifically or cor rectly, serious loss follows. Sweet potatoes can be preserved in perfect condition if you will in voke the aid of nature. What is that you say? Leave rfie potatoes un disturbed in the row in which they are grown and just before winter sets in take a large two horse plow and throw enough earth on the row to prevent freezing and the potatoes will keep perfectly through the win ter. It is necessary to grow them in wide rows or dig every other row if grown in the usual width rows. This will give you enough earth to cover perfectly the remaining rows. When the warm trade winds of March begin to blow dig your po tatoes, assort and place in crates, have your market ready and move them out. Just keep from freezing and hogs and you will be delighted with the cheap and perfect manner in which the potatoes are kept. S. A. WOOTTEN. Tignall, Ga. P.

New Endurance Record In Flight Attempted By Two Aviators MINEOLA, L. 1., Dec. 21.—An at tempt was made at Mitchel field to day by Lieutenant Ross C. Kirkpat rick and Max Goodnough, a mechani cian, to break the world endurance flight record. The army men started their flight at 7:30 a. m., in a ten-passenger Cur tiss Eagle airplane. They hoped to remain in the air 35 hours. The present record, 24 hours and ten minutes, was made in England, in 1914. The aviators, who were to alter nate in driving through a system of dual control, planned to maintain an average of 2,000 feet. Should repairs become necessary they proposed to as cend to 5,000 feet and start a glide. From this height it would ordinari ly requ're 15 or 20 minutes to reach the ground, and it was believed re pairs could be made in that time. Kirkpatrick participated in the re cent flight to Nome, Alaska, and re turn. L. & N. Shop Unit Burned at Etowah; Loss Is SIOO,OOO ETOWAH. Tenn., Dec. 21.—Fire of undetermined origin totally destroyed the machinery department of the Louisville and Nashville railroad shops here between 1 and 2 o’clock this morning. The loss is estimated at more than SIOO,OO. Included in this are two large locomotives which workmen were unable to get out of building. The building was of wooden struc ture. All the repair work on engines and cars was done in this plant. While it was a unit of the entire shops, all other units depend upon it for progress in their own work. The work of the entire shops will be greatly handicapped by the loss. By 2 o’clock this morning the fire was under control. No casualties resulted.

More than 2,000 persons are affect ed, and the new scale was acceptable to the workers, it was said, who pre ferred full time at lower wages to half time at higher wages. Chicago Starts War on Naughty ‘Smokers” BY EDWARD M. THIERY CHICAGO.—Has hubby been tak ing an occasional night out lately, with the innocent excuse that he was attending a "smoker” or a “stag?” If he hasn’t—he either isn’t alive or the possibilities of this, increas ingly popular form of entertainment —or he doesn’t care for that sort of thing. It has come as an aftermath of prohibition—a tremendous revival of Oriental dances, naughty shows that make the Arabian Nights sound tame. It’s the new relaxation for the tired business man. The committee of fifteen, led by Superintendent Samuel P. Thrasher, Chicago’s indefatigable /*/ o Win hi foe of things immoral, has declared war on the “smoker” and the “stag.” Chicago mirrors the rapidly in creasing popularity of the surrepti tious shows all over the country, re formers say. Sliding Scale of Bates Booking agencies exist where a society, union, club, lodge or an as sociation—legitimtae or otherwise— may book every risque act on the calendar at a sliding scale of rates, adjusted according to naughtiness desired. “Mercedes” and “Gypsy Marie” are the high-priced stars in Chicago “stag” theatrics. “Mercedes” dances so alluringly in such few, if any, clothes that she has to keep a taxicab busy six nights a week to carry her from one secret, well-guarded hall to another. She “goes the limit.” So does “Gypsy Marie,” according to Superintendent Thrasher. The committee of fifteen recently took one smoker by surprise. In the raid six men and the star performer —“Lucile”—were arrested and haled into Morals court. Several hundred spectators were driven from the hall. She Goes the Limit The program was like this: A Rabelaisian monologist. An innocuous song and dance act. A fat lady monologist who made her predecessor sound like a Sunday school teacher. “Lucile”—A dancer in few clothes. Speech by master of ceremonies. “Now, boys, ‘Lucile’ has gone out to change her costume —if you’d call it a costume. You can try tossing a little.coin on the stage and I think she’ll go the limit!” (Jingling of much coin tossed on the stage). “Lucile”—ln less clothes. “Lucile”—ln no clothes. At this point the unscheduled act on the program—the raid. “These smokers are getting to be regular institutions,” said Superin tendent Thrasher. Incredibly Vicious “They are largely attended by boys under 20 and are incredibly vicious. The whole industry must be broken up. Many smokers are legitimate, but too often they are mere excuses for improper dances and immoral motion picture films.” The committee of fifteen was or ganized in 1909 and is maintained by private subscription. It is given chief credit for wiping out Chicago’s segregated vice district and now car ries on a campaign against isolated places of commercialized vice and the exploitation of women.

Slang; Is‘Crazy About America BY I-AY STEVENSON Copyright, 1920. NEW YORK —Captain George Dunagin, U. S. A., is twenty-eight years old, and his son is eighteen, which means, of course, that his son is a son by adoption, Henri Bezinian Dunagin. And this is one of the strange products of the World war, which produced so many strange things. The boy, a fine, manly little French man of the sort that fairly wor shipped the American army when it came to the rescue of European civilization, is staying with the man he has learned to call father at the McAlpin hotel. Presently they will be at home on Captain Dunagin’s plantation at Laurel, Miss. “Henri is strong for the Ameri cans,” said his adopted father, “and he is an excellent example of what the American doughboy did for the youth of France. I met Henri when I first arrived at St. Denis with the A. E. F. He was then fourteen and I took a great fancy to him. His father was dead and his moth er is a woman of just moderate means. I taught him English and took him all about with me. After the armistice I was assigned to the peace commission, but when it came time for me to part from my little pal—well, I had made such an American.out of him that I de cided to make him my son.” Very Happy “And I am just about the happiest man on earth,” said young Henri as he drew himself up to his full height and looked down with pride upon his brand-new Ameri can clothes. “I see those boys didn’t teach you the words ‘pep,’ ‘punch’ and ‘live wire’ in vain,” I said to Henri. "We French boys didn't know we were alive until we met your red blooded Americans,” mused Henri. “I was just a schoolboy with no particular aims, no particular am bitions, but when I saw those big fellows hustling about, something new woke up in me. I wanted to be like them —‘full of pep.’ I learned English, I studied German so 1 could become an interpreter, then I Beavers and Poole Are Exonerated by Committee Os Inefficiency in Office After conductingf a six-day probe into the activities and morale of the police and detective departments city council Monday afternoon, adopting the report of the special committee appointed two weeks ago, gave com plete exoneration to Chief of Police James L. Beavers, and Chief of De tectives A. Lamar Poole, and declar ed t 1 --*- any charges of ‘‘wholesale rottenness in the police department is entirely unjustified and wholly outrageous.” The committee submitted a lengthy report of its investigation and this report was adopted by council in toto. White citing no specific instances the report recommended that the po lice board further investigate the charges made against Detectives Howell, Hornsby and Terry, and de termine if the allegations made as to their misconduct are supported by fact. The principal features of the re port, in addition to the exoneration, of the chiefs, and the recommenda tions that the conduct of the three detectives be further investigated, were as follows: .First, that there exists among the police generally a high morale, and a keen sense of duty. That the men studied bookkeeping and mechanical engineering. Captain Dunagin, or rather my father (here Henri sent a beaming glance toward his bene factor) helped me and I was as-' signed to the American Army Service corps and headquarters of the gen eral staff of the American army, where I served in every capacity from Interpreter, timekeeper, book keeper, file clerk, chauffeur, typist and transportation manager of the motor service.” Studies Business “In other words, you received a complete business course,” I said. “Yes; and without that American spirit of ‘punch’ and energy I should not have been able to have acquired so much in so short a time,” said Henri. ‘Every French boy who came in contact with the American soldier caught that spirit just as he might catch the measles or any other germ. “Today,” continued the enthusias tic Henri, “every French boy wants to come to America. The word New York sounds like a second heaven. You might tell the American students who are worrying over their French verbs and adjectives to lay down their grammars in peace. The French kids are all learning English! “And it wasn’t only the French youth which benefited by the Ameri can .doughboys’ stay in France,” con cluded Henri. “Today all France has changed. We have adopted the Amer ican traffic system. We play Ameri can jazz and rag. We have estab lished ice cream parlors (a thing we never had before the doughboy de scribed them). All the hotel now have baths and telephones in each room. We dance American, dances and, say—we like American styles— both for men and women. French women are just crazy about American clothes!” “And your plans for the future?” “To make my living in America, have a home here and send for my widowed mother,” said Henri. “The war was a terrible experience for France, but the youth of France has been awakened and stimulated. We have been born again.” are zealous, and in the main honest and efficient. Second, that any member of the department found guilty of being drunk, be immediately dismissed, without suspension. Third, that Detective Shaw Is ex onerated of charges of accepting hush money, as Insinuated by the of ficials of the Southeastern fair, since all evidence Introduced to this ef fect i. hearsay, ’nd was not sup ported by corroborative facts. Fourth, that the so-called clash between Solicitor General John A. Boykin and Chief Poole has been ex aggerated, and that no real misun derstanding has occurred. There was no reference made to the anticipated recommendation that the fee system in county offices be ed, and that violators of the prohibition law be given chaingang sentences. An amendment to the report, In corporating the latter recommenda tion, that is: Chaingang sentences for bootleggers, was introduced by Councilman Nutting, a member of the investigating committee, but was defeated by a vote of 13 to 9. Reference was also made to the gambling evil and the difficulty faced by the officers in proving that the persons were actually engaged in gaming. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1920. “POP-GUN” TARIFF BILL BARRAGE IS STARTED BY G.O.P. BY DAVID LAWRENCE (Leased Wire Service to The Journal.) (Copyright, 1920.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. The days of the “pop gun” tariff bill are here again, but this time the Republi cans instead of the Democrats are planning to bombard the White House with tariff measures they know cannot possibly get executive approval. Unquestionably there is a clamor for tariff revision and it comes from scattered sections of the country where economic theory and economic fact are at odds and the producers feel that a tariff will help them against foreign competition. But the Republican party which controls both houses of congress always has been the part yof tariff protection and it has been impossible to answer the demand for tariff legislation by simply saying President Wilson would not permit tariff proposals to become law. So the Republicans have about decided to square them selves with their constituents and demonstrate that the White House is the real obstacle after all. Not Viewed Seriously Some of the tariff measures being proposed have been so hastily con ceived that if President Wilson did sign some of them, there would be a shock on capitol hil Ithat would be heard round the country. For the Republicans frankly do not expect Mr. Wilson to sign protectionist measures any more than the Demo crats expected Mr. Taft to approve them in the fall of 1911 when the Democrats had obtained possession of the house and began to fire “pop gun” tariff bills at Mr. faft with tariff duties reduced to some unwork able minimums. Indeed, it is in teresting to recall that when the Democrats obtained full possession in 1912 of all branches of the gov ernment, including the executive, they didn’t offer the same set of tariffs bills upon which they had forced Mr. Taft’s veto, but an en tirely new set, much more carefully considered and carrying a higher scale of duties. Another interesting sidelight on the situation is that the people wlvt really have sponsored most of the protective measures in recent years do not regard the present tariff dis cussion seriously. Their lobbyists aren’t even on the job. The truth is the Republicans had a genuine un derstanding that nothing would be attempted in the present session of congress and notification to that ef fect was conveyed to all the Inter ests affected. Agitation Started However, the farmers came to Washington and througjj their nu merous organizations started the present tariff agitation in the hope that something immediate might be done to cure the financial crisis in the agricultural world. Manufactur ing interests of the east are not a bit pleased over the invasion by the farmers and secretly hope the whole tariff effort will be blocked at this session of congress. It is pointed out, for Instance, by manufacturers who don’t want kind of tariff proposed, that the farmers are inconsistent in demand ing the revival of the war finance corporation to finance the export of farm products while at the same time they would impose a tariff amounting to an embargo on the im portation of farm products. It is insisted that by reciprocity alone can foreign trade be stimulated and that the rates of exchange will not im prove until America manifests more of a give and take spirit in making tariff duties. The whole question of reciprocal trade measures is expected to be revived as a consequence of the ab normal trade conditions. Otherwise the foreign countries, it is suggest ed, will impose retaliatory tariffs and America will not be able to sell abroad, in free competition with oth ter countries which do not impose high tariffs. New Alignment Seen Moreover a new alignment may be looked for when the Fordney tariff bill just reported in the house of representatives gets over to the sen ate. Instead of finding a natural Democratic and Republican division, the prospects are that the eastern Republicans, representing large man ufacturing and banking communities, will have a different viewpoint from that of the agricultural west and south. There is no certainty that any tariff measure could be passed in the present senate, where the Re publican majority is slender, but a coalition of west and south, such as passed the recent resolution reviv ing the war finance corporation, of course, is possible. But the south ern senators are divided on the tar iff question and the Fordney measure may remain the pop-gun effort of only One house instead of congress as a whole. In any event, the pub lic can rest assured that nothing vi tal on the subject of tariff revision will be done until a special session of congress is convened by Presi dent-elect Harding. Conditions in Ireland . Are Reported on by League of Women WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—Two rep resentatives of the British branch of the Women’s International league today laid before the commission on conditions l>n Ireland a formal report of their survey in several Irish cities. The report, signed by ten mem bers of the British branch, spoke of “innumerable outrages by govern ment forces which have left ‘devas tated areas’ resembling those of Bel gium. “The regular raids by police and military are conducted in such away as to strike terror as widely as pos sible,” the report said. Favorable Action on Bill Granting Tax Grace Os 50 Days Withdrawn WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—Favor able action recently taken on the bill of Representative Edmonds, Penn sylvania, to allow fifty days’ grace in tax payments due December 15 was withdrawn today by house ways and means committee. Members said the bill Is dangerous and that the committee had made a mistake in reporting it. Sentences Shortened As Christmas Gifts M’ALESTER, Okla., Dec. 31. Twenty-eight prisoners In the state penitentiary here will spend Christ mas as free men, thanks to Governor Robertson. Nearly all of them had but a few days or weeks more to serve after Christmas and the Okla homa executive granted them par dons. Textile Workers’ Pay Will Be Reduced PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21.—The wages of more than 200,000 workers in the textile industry of this city are to be reduced from ten to thirty per cent in the near future, officers of a number of manufacturers’ asso ciations included in the trade, said today. Notices of a ten per cent cut were posted in the Turkish toweling mills, and the manufacturers of Wilton and Brussels rugs announced they would notify the union representatives to day that a twenty-five per cent re duction would be put in effect on January 17. Hosiery workers are to be reduced from fifteen to twenty-five per cent and coarse yarn spinners, sweater knitters and other knit fabric em ployes from ten to thirty per cent. “Chink” Cabin Boy Was With Farragut 118 J < * * pill ♦> JbFurv Earle SAN FRANCISCO.—Eighty-three years old, 73 of which have been spent on the sea, part of them as cabin-boy with Farragut, in the old Ironsides, back in the youth of the United States navy, John Earle, American born Chinese, Is in the Emergency hospital here after an arduous wandering through the city because he didn’t like things at the Marine hospital where he has been for 18 months. Born in 1836, the young Chinese boy ran away from home at 11, and at Boston shipped with Farragut. The battles of New Orleans and Mo bile might have been yesterday to the weazoned old sailor whose ship of life is so near its last port. His reminiscences include seven years service with the revenue cutter Bear. He has made countless trips to Point Barrow, the farthest stop north. . Queer sights and experiences in far lands, the growth of his loved San Francisco from sand hills to a “velly fine city,” an acquaintnce which runs the gamut from ad mirals to newsboys—these are what make his last days endurable. He escaped from the hospital, among other reasons, that he might vote the Republican ticket, which he has always voted “straight,” He does not want to go back to China. “Melli ca good enough born, good enough die. Mebbe not So Ing die nw. Joha pay bills, be kind evlybody. John not ’flaid now,” he says. Pittsburg Negro, Bold and Versatile, Is Freed From Pen William Maxwell, a Pittsburg ne gro,' after spending five years and thirty days in the Atlanta federal prison for counterfeiting, was giv en his release Tuesday, and was start ed happily on his way home in a new suit of clothes, with a railroad tick et to Pitt, and ten dollars in real money. At the penitentiary Maxwell was regarded as the boldest and most versatile prisoner ever confined here. He demonstrated both when he set up a small distillery in the prison last summer and began to manufac ture moonshine at a rapid rate. This was disclosed Tuesday when a depu ty marshal went to the prison to es cort Maxwell to the United States commissioner to complete his dis charge papers. Maxwell smiled and admitted he would have been set at liberty thir ty days earlier if he had not taken a crack at the dry law during his term of imprisonment. “It looks mighty queer on the out side,” said Maxwell at the federal building Tuesday, one hour after he had discarded the prison garb of con vict No. 6888 and donned the dull gray suit of civilian clothing pre sented to him by Warden Zerbst. “I’m going to Pittsburg and have a real Christmas for the first time in five years, and I’m going to be gin life anew on the first of the new year and lay off this counterfeiting business —and distilling, too,” he as serted. Cotton Warehouse Burns REBECCA, Ga.. Dec. 21.—The C. S. McCall cotton warehouse at this place was totally destroyed by fire about 4 o’clock Saturday morning. About 180 bales of cotton in the warehouse were a total loss with the exception of one bale. The cotton and warehouse were fully insured.

J: BROWN URGES FARMERSTOSTORE COTTON CROP Speaking Tuesday at the first day’.- session of the annual meeting of th< Georgia Farmers’ union, J. J. Brown commissioner of agriculture tOc: his stand squarely on the pqymeni of all obligations by the farmers. “I stand for the honest paymeni of every honest debt by the farmers of Georgia,” said Cornmissionei Brown. “I do not and would not approve the repudiation of a single ] obligation by the farmers. My ad vice to farmers now, as it was lasi y fall when they began to pick theii 1 cotton, is to store it in bonded ware houses, insure it and have it graded, use their bonded warehouse receipts , as security for bank loans, and use the money to pay all or part of their pressing obligations. “I believe a farmer storing his cotton in a bonded warehouse, insur ing it and having it graded, wil not find it hard to obtain a ban 1 loan on his warehouse receipt as col lateral. There is not any shortag< of currency, and we have been re peatedly assured that there is to b< no curtailment of agricultural ored its.” Commissioner Brown expressed th< view that the government shp*j’< meet the farmers half-way, a'fte they have followed the above plan by extending them every reasonabh credit accommodation, and further by aiding exports of farm product: to Europe.
