GRAND JURY TO
PROBE CHARGES
OF INSURERS
The Fulton county grand jury, at
one of its sessions next week, will
consider evidence in support of
charges that certain Atlanta phys
icians have been implicated in con
spiracies to defraud health and ac
cident insurance companies out of
hundreds of thousands of dollars by
attesting fraudulent claims made by
dishonest policy holders.
These charges have been made to
Solicitor General John A. Boykin
by the insurance company officials
and at a conference held Wednes
day afternoon w’th Assistant So
licitor E. A. Stephens, the matter
was investigated with a view to
seeking indictments against tne
physicians involved and against tne
policy holders who are alleged to
have defrauded the various com
panies.
There are more than a dozen health
and accident insurance companies
operating in Atlanta and it is claim
ed that during 1920 more than sl,-
000,000 was paid out in claims. The
insurance officials declare that their
private investigations have shown
that 60 per cent of this sum was
paid on fraudulent claims,. so that
$600,000 was disbursed to dishonest
policy holders.
At Wednesday’s conference with
the assistant solicitor general, it was
charged by the insurance officials
that certain local physicians, both
white and colored, have been mak
ing a practice of signing fraudulent
insurance claims, receiving either
a share of the compensation paid
the policy holders, or taking a fee
of $2 or $3 for their signatures. They
told authorities that some doctors do
a lucrative business signing these
claims, making daily rounds through
the negro quarters for this purpose
alone. ..
R. R. Shropshire, attorney for the
insurance companies, stated to Mr.
Stephens that the investigation
made by the various companies show
ed that flagrant violations of the
law were frequent, resulting in
huge losses to the companies operat
ing here. •
“We have evidence to show that
many policyholders have used their
insurance to live in idleness and com
parative luxury,” said Mr. Shrop
shore. “In many instances persons
laid off from their employment have
immediately called in a physician
and secured his signature on an in
demnity claim when the doctor knew
absolutely that the person was in
perfect health. We have paid from
$5 to $25 weekly in some cases where
our investigations have shown there
was no ground for indemnity. The
period of business depression has
greatly augmented our flood of claims
although there is no epidemic of dis
ease in Atlanta.”
In presenting their case to the au
thorities, the insurance officials pro
duced oral and documentary evidence
in support of their charge that some
doctors have signed as many as
twenty claims In a single day; that
the same doctors would sign claims
fdr the same persons for weeks at a
time, but that investigation by the
companies revealed the fact that the
claimants were enjoying a life of
idleness, in perfect health. •
“It has got to the point where
three colored insurance companies
have refused to issue any more
health and accident policies in At
lanta,” said Mr. Shropshire, “and un
less the frauds are stopped, every
company will quit this field.”
The insurance men assured by
Mr. Stephens that the matter would
be given the most careful consider
ation by the grand jury and that ev
ery effort would be made to secure
indictments against physicians or
private individuals found to be im
plicated in the alleged frauds.
Tennessee Girl Is
Sought by Relatives
W. L. Boyd, of 121 Broyles street,
has requested the police to assist him
in locating his niece, Miss Marion
Witt, thirty-two years old, of Cop
perhill, Tenn., who, he says, came
here to visit him several days ago,
and who has mysteriously disap
peared.
The young woman, Mr. Boyd says,
came to Atlanta January 5. She spent
the night at the home of her uncle
and the next morning said she was
going to visit other relatives. It is
said that she has not been seen or
heard from by her relatives and
friends here or by her parents in
Copperhill since that night. She is
described as being five feet eight
inches tall, dark complexion, dark
hair nad dark eyes.

GEORGIA BANKERS
INDORSE MOVE
FOR LESS COTTON
Indorsement of the south-wide
proposal for a curtailment of the
1921 cotton crop, abandonment of
the April group meetings and the
formulating of preliminary arrange
ments for the annual state conven
tion of the Georgia Bankers’ asso
ciation featured the midwinter meet
ing of- the executive council of the
association at Augusta Wednesday.
The annual state convention will be
held at Augusta April 7 and 8, and
arrangements have been made with
the Bon Air hotel and the Partridge
inn to entertain the delegates.
The necessity of holding the an
nual convention earlier .than usual
moved the executive council to Sanc
tion an abandonment of the April
group meetings, which heretofore
have preceded the state convention.
It has been the custom in the past
for the several groups to «neet in.
consecutive succession. The annual
convention in April will make this
impossible, and it is the announced
hope of the executive council that
the group chairmen will arrange for
group conferences either before or
after the state convention.
. The executive council received andl
indorsed the report of J. W. Vaughan,
of Cartersville, vice chairman of the
association’s agricultural committee
concerning the action of the Mem
phis cotton conference that devised
and agreed upon plans for curtailing
and regulating the cotton production.
Ihe indorsement of the executive
committee was expressed in the fol
lowing resolution;
fafan executive council of the Geor
gia Bankers assoiation, in session i
January 19, 1921, fully realizes and!
nhi P bn- e a C H ateS the most important ’
obligation and duty upon the bankers ,
of the state is to finance and assist I
the farmers and tenants of the state
io». the .v prod , uctio nos th e crops fori
1 a l“ at the extraordinary amount;
oi credit reourses heretofore required j
for the purchase of food for man and I
beast must be eliminated, by changed
methods in growing these as far as
possible, thereby sustaining our
selves.
“We believe it should be the motto
and plan of Georgia farmers and
bankers to ‘make Georgia a produc- -
ing, a selling state.’ While we recog
nize that cotton will always be the
chief cash crop of Georgia, we fully
appreciate there must be a radical
reduction of the cotton acreage for
1921, as the present world supply of
cotton Is enormous and the world’s
markets have been able to absorb
only a part of the 1920 rop at pries
far below the ost of produtlon. We
are in sympathy with the objets of
the various otton areage reJtution
movements, and urge hte Immediate
co-operation of the banks, merhants
and farmers of eah ounty, community
and section, that they get together
and devise such plans from these
various suggestions as will hastily
bring about permanent as well as
temporary relief.
“We recommend that eah commu
nity in the cotton section become
self-sustaining in the matter of food
and feed production—that there be
a uniform cotton acreage reduction
of as least ,50 per cent of that plantea
in 1920, or to one-third of the total
areage that is ot be in atual ultl
vation in 1921.”

GEORGIA G. 0. P.
PLANS TO OUST
CHAIRMAN GOREE
On Friday at 12 o’clock the Repub
lican state central committee for
Georgia will meet at the colored Odd
Fellows hall on Auburn avenue in
response to a call issued without the
authority of C. P. Goree, chairman of
the committee, for the purpose of de
manding Chairman Goree’s resigna
tion and an accounting by him for
the funds alleged to have been col
lected in Georgia for campaign pur
poses.
According to statements by va
rious members of the committee, the
meeting is the result of the fac
tional controversy that has been in
progress within the Republican party
in Georgia for many years. The ‘lily
whites” and the “black and tans,” as
they have been more or less face
tiously designated, have been at
swords points ever since the attempt
ed reorganization of the party in this
state, while the factions as original
ly constituted also have been torn by,
internal dissensions resulting in fur
ther sub-factional divisions.
John W. Martin, who opposed Con
gressman W. D. Upshaw for re-elec
tion in the last general election, is
treasurer of the state committee and
on Thursday he declared that Chair
man Goree and Vice Chairman M.
H. Karnes collected an unknown
amount of money for campaign pur
poses, but did not turn over a sin
gle penny to him as treasurer. The
meeting Friday will inquire into ‘‘he
disposition of these funds and will
demand that answer be made to
charges that Mr. Goree has failed t*i
perform his duty, it is asserted.
The call for the special meeting
was issued by Henry H. Pace, a
negro claiming Atlanta as his home,
but living in New York City. He is
secretary of the committee. It was
a matter of doubt Thursday whethei
Chairman Goree would preside at the
meeting, or whether he would attend
at all.
The specific charges again.it
Messrs Goree and Karnes are:
“Failure to comply with instruc
tions of the state convention; offi
cial misrepresentation; failure to
properly account for funds collected
in the name of the party; false pre
tense in soliciting funds.”
C. W. McClure, a member of the
ways and means committee of the
Republican party in Georgia, speak
ing for Chairman Goree, has assert
ed that the meeting Friday will be
a gathering of the “pie-hunters who
have become desperate.” He declares
that a certain faction within the
party is intent upon securing and
controlling all patronage in Georgia,
taking this method to eliminate all
opposition to their plans.

CAROLINA BUDGET
CARRIES TOTAL
OF $7,111,688.88
COLUMBIA, Jan. 20.—1 n the re
port of the state budget commission,
delivered to the general assembly by
Governor Cooper, he recommends a
total of $7,111,688.88 in appropria
tions to carry the departments, in
stitutions and activities of the state
government through the year 1921.
There were requests aggregating $9.-
806,806.59.
The general appropriation bill for
1920 carried a total of $6,097,141.39.
The more than $2,600,000 pruned from
the requests by the governor repre
sents mostly new buildings and re
quests for other permanent improve
ments.
In his letter submitting-the budget,
the governor said, among other
things:
“In 1919 the legislature enacted
our budget law, providing for the
preparation and review of estimates
for expenditure and revenue and a
budget system for all state expendi
tures. This act is undoubtedly prov
ing itself to be one of the wisest
pieces of financial legislation that
has ever been placed upon our stat
ues, and I believe that the members
of the general assembly will be in
terested to know the extent to which
we have developed the budget sys
tem and how it is regarded by the
authorities on budget making. In
1919 the Detriot bureau of govern
ment research made a survey of
our budget system and reported that
‘the investigation discloses that in
every respect in the present stage
of completion of the budget, the
procedure is in accord with the
terms of the budget act and the best
practice in budget making.’ Griffen
hagen and Associates, Ltd., efficiency
engineers and accountants, of Chi
cago, in a special on our sys
tem, dated October 15. 1920, states
that ‘South Carolina is far in ad
vance of most states in its acceptance
of the budget idea and the state of
development to which it has brought
its budget procedure.’ The law puts
into effective operation the practical
intent of that section of the consti
tution which requires that ‘the gov
ernor shall give the general assem
bly information of the condition of
the state and recommend for its con
sideration such measures as he shall
deem necessary or expedient.’ While
the budget system has been in opera
tion only one year, the fiscal year
1920 has been closed with the result
of an unusually satisfactory condi
tion of the treasury. The 1921 bud
get does not contain a single request
for a deficit appropriation, whereas,
last year the legislature was called
upon to appropriate for deficiencies
in a sum e*xceeding one-fourth of a
million dollars.”
EMMETT SMITH
BEGINS SENTENCE
AT STATE FARM
MACON, Ga., Jan. 20. —Emmett I.
Smith, world war hero, today began
serving a sentence of from five to
twelve years at the state farm at
Milledgeville. He was taken to the
farm yesterday afternoon. Smith
pleaded guilty to a charge of killing
Ethel I'ally last January. Martha
Phillips, daughter of the slain wom
an, was shot at the same time and
later died of pneumonia. A charge
of assault with intent to murder is
pending against Smith for shooting
her. During the world war Smith
was a motorcycle dispatch rider with
the American forces in France. He
had several narrow escapes from
death and once was struck by a frag
ment of a shell. When his trial was
called his attorneys set up a plea
of insanity.
The birthday of General Robert
E. Lee was celebrated here yester
day with business partly suspended.
Exercises were held in the auditorium
of Lanier High school at which Dr;
W F. Quillian, president of Wesleyan
college, delivered an eloquent eulogy
of the Confederate chieftain. The
public schools observed the day as
a half holiday and banks and a num
ber of other business houses were
closed throughout the day. The
celebration here was under the aus
pices of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy who presented crosses
of honor to a number of veterans and
their descendants.
The city league will be reorganiz
ed Tuesday night when officials of

last year was very close between the
teams representing the Luther Wil
liams Banking company and the
Fourth National bank, and there is
considerable interest in the reorgan
ization of the league.
An association of retail grocers In
Macon will be organized as a result
of a meeting at the chamber of com

the preliminary meeting and John
Bratton, of Atlanta, editor of the
Southeastern Grocer, made the prin
cipal address.
H. T. Conner was elected president
of the Macon Credit Men’s associa
tion at the annual meeting yester
day. H. T. Harris was re-elected
secretary and treasurer.
Discussing service and its rela
tion to fraternal orders, L. S. Solo
mon, a high official of the B Nai
B’rith, addressed the Kiwanis club,
of Macon, Wednesday afternoon. He
made a strong plea for contributions
to save children starving in Europe.
Reduced Mill Wages
Higher Than in 1918
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20—A de
partment of labor table pu dished to
day said that if the maximum wage
cut of 22 1-2 per cent so far reported
from any cotton mill were applied
generally in the Industry to 1920
scales, it would leave an hourly
wage 2.5 times as high as prevailed
in 1913 or 1.4 times as high as in
1918.
The 1920 figures, the table showed,
were 3.6 times as high as in 1907;
3.2 times as high as 1913, and 1.8
times as high as in 1918. At the
same time the average full time
week for male frame spinners in
1920 was 50.7 hours as compared to
59.4 in 1907 and 56.9 in 1913, and
for female frame spinners, 51.8
hours in 1920 as compared to 61.0
in 1907 and 57.8 in 1913.

FLYER’S ILLNESS
CALLS HALT IN
BALLOON PROBE
ROCKAWAY, N. Y., Jan. 20.—Ill
ness of Lieutenant Stephen A. Far
rell, one of the three naval balloon
ists whose recent flight into north
ern Canada is being investigated by
a naval board of inquiry, today halt
ed the board’s hearing on their per
sonal adventures. Farrell’s physician
said his patient, who is suffering
from tonsillitis, may be able to tes
tify tomorrow.
The board today planned to ques
tion Lieutenants Louis A. Kloor and
Walter Hinton, the other members
of the expedition, regarding the bal
loon’s equipment and the technical
detail of the flight.
Hinton’s Story
Hinton gave the following testi
mony to the court of inquiry regard
ing the struggle for existence waged
by Farrel, Kloor and himself after
they had been dumped on the shores
of Hudson Bay In a wild flight from
Rockaway:
“At 12:20 on December 16, Lieu
tenant Farrell fell from exhaustion.
It would’be unfair for me to state
in this exhausted and fainting con
dition the remarks that were passed,
but I called Lieutenant Kloor and
consulted him as to the advisability
of taking the knife from Lieutenant
Farrell and going on as signified by
him—only with the hope that we
would find assistance.
“My conviction was that we were
on the stream that emptied into the
river upon which was the house
that we had seen from the air just
after hearing a dog bark. I fully
believed that the house was just
around the corner.”
Hinton continued:
“Lieutenant Farrell gave me his
money—s94—and said: ‘You keep it.
If anyone gets through, you will.’
“I suggested that Lieutenant Far
rell come with us to where we could
build a fire. This he did.
“In talking over what could be
done, I suggested that Farrell take
off his flying suit, as this had con
siderable to do with hi§ exhausted
condition. He took off the flying suit
and I flung it over my shoulders and
fastened it by the legs under my
arms.”
Os the quarrel at Mattlce, Hinton
said: ’
“After Lieutenant Kloor received
the telegram from Secretary Daniels
telling us not to talk, I went from
our car to the house where Farrell
was.”
“On entering, I requested that 'he
go with me to the car, as we had re
ceived a very important telegram that
concerned him. He flew into a rage
and made statements which I do not
consider fair.”
At this point, Hinton’s testimony
was interrupted by Rear Admiral
Kline, presiding officer, who conferred
with the other members of the court.
When Hinton was directed to pro
ceed, he said:
“Due to his overwrought nerves and
condition, I do not consider that he
was responsible for what he said or
did.
“I left the house and went to the
car. Lieutenant Farrell came over
in about fifteen minutes and all of
our differences were settled.’’.
In describing the trip from Moose
Factory to Mattice, Hinton detailed
the work done by Kloor and himself,
but made no mention of Farrell or
his condition, except when he said
that breaking wood at night was “an
all hands job.”
Doctor’s Testimony
Lieutenant J. F. Newberger, senior
medical officer at the station, who
followed Lieutenant Hinton, testified
that he had found Lieutenant Farrell
suffering from “an extreme psycho
motor excitation, a symptom of ex
haustive psychosis making the pa
tient very active and inclined to vio
lence.”
He described this condition - as akin
to shell shock, brought on by exhaus
tion, worry and exposure. Farrell,
he said, also was suffering from ton
solitis and would not be able to tes
tify before tomorrow or Friday.
He said Hinton had lost 21 pounds
and Farrell 11, while Kloor had not
I lost an ounce.
Man Is Bound Over
For Attempted Arson,
Waving Preliminary
A. Abraham, proprietor of a shoe
store at 307 Peachtree street, waived
examination in the recorder’s court
Wednesday afternoon and was bound
over to the superior court in $3,000
bond on a charge of attempted ar
son. Attorney Claude D. Rowe,
counsel for the defendant, told the
court that his client was a tool of
■ others. “There were brains behind
I his actions,” Mr. Rowe said.
i Abraham was charged with having
■ poured a quantity of gasoline over
the stock of his store and was
about to set fire to the stock when
he was stopped by detectives who
; had been given a “tip” of the pro
i posed action and had secreted them-
I selves in the store. Fire Chief Cody
I said that many people were living
in the building over the store and
had the man carried out his inten
tions, he said, the entire block would
have been wrapped in flames and
many lives would have been endan
gered.
Abraham is a foreigner and speaks
with a foreign accent. He made no
statement to the court. At the time
he leased the building for a shoe
sore it was said he gave his name
as Abraham Amelch. He was ar
rested last Friday night.
