"Counsel for Dormancy" Is
Characterization of Presi
, dent’s Stand —Urges Bo
nus and Tax Reduction
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12.—Pr«si
dent Coolidge's message to congress
was labelled “a counsel for dor
a maficy” and his opposition to a
bonus for ex-service men charac
terized as a summary dismissal of
“just claims for consideration,” in
an address by William Gibbs Mc-
Adoo before the Democratic Lunch
icon club and Women’s Democratic
legaue here today. The former di
rector general of railroads derided
the president’s proposal for a volun
tary consolidation of these systems
. of transportatoin as a "seven-year
itch for reduced freight and passen
ger rates with no assurance of re
lief at the end of the trial,” telling
his hearers that ‘‘what is needed it
not seven years of delay, but ac
tion.”
“The president's message,” said
Mr. McAdoo, in part, “is largely <.
counsel of dormancy. The world is
in commotion and vital problems
press upon us for solution, but no
effective program is offered for the
alleviation or correction of domestic
ills, nor is encouragement given for
• invigorating international policies,
which will reopen world markets for
our surplus products, tend to pro
mote economic stability or encour
age peace and tranquillity between
nations. •
Tax Reduction Advocated
i * “The most affirmative part of the
X president’s message is the recom-
, mendation of tax reduction. The
whole country favors tax reduction.
The Democratic party has stood con
sistently for tx since the signing of
the armistice, and should co-operate,
without regard tc partisan consid
erations, in any effort to ease the
tax burden. This effort should be
directed, pot aione to a reduction in
♦ the gross sum of taxation, but to
an equitable distribution of the bur
den
“The president’s indorsement of
the proposal to put a lighter tax on
earned incomes, namely, those pro
duced by the sweat of the brow and
the toil of the brain, than upon un
earned incomes, namely, those which
come from invest men is, : s aommend
able.
"This propos. ion was first made
by the Democratic secretary of the
w treasury in 1918, and was offered in
1921 as an amendment to the reve
nue bill by Senator Harris, of Geor-
* gia. It was defeated by ti vote of
36 Republicans to 21 Democrats on
the ground as stated by Senator Pen
rose, then chairman of the finance
. committee of the senate, that:
“ ‘The question of earned and un
v earned incomes was most exhaustive
ly considered by the committee, by
*• the senate and by the treasury de
partment and the opinion was nearly
unanimous that any such provision
is impossible of administration.’
. Points Change of Position
“What.has produced this extraor
dinary reversal of opinion on the part
of the treasury department and the
administration? If this provision
was nearly impossible of administra
tion in 1921 why is it possible of ad
ministration in 1923?”
“The president opposes any in
fl crease in the pay of the soldiers who
fought the war of victory. Although
a great reduction in the tax burden
can be made and the reasonable
compensation proposed for the sol
diers and sailors can be provided
> at the same time, the president is
determinied that justice shall not
be done to the war veterans. Their
, just claims for consideration are
summarily dismissed, but the pres
ident is strong for the maintenance
of the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill,
which gives favored trusts, monopo
lies and combinations in restraint of
trade a subsidy estimated at more
than three billions pf dollars per an
i num, or twice as much as it will
take to pay the soldiers’ bonus in
cash. For privilege, everything; for
the defenders of the cjuntry, noth
ing.
Scores Veterans’ Bureau
“The president declared that no
more important duty rests on the
government thin the adequate care
of sick and disabled veterans, and
yet there is no word of reprehen
sion for the grafters who have dis
+ graced the veterans’ bureau and
• have stolen or misappropriated
funds which were set aside take
care of the men and women who
suffered the loss of health and be
came permanently Injured in the
service of the nation.
“The president offers no con-
j structive thought on the railroad
problem, perhaps the most important
* domestic problem confronting the
nation. He generalizes somewhat
vaguely about the value of consoli-
dations and suggests that the rail
roads be given authority to consol
idate voluntarily.”
Mr. McAdoo declared the consoli
dation proposal of President Coolidge
gives little promise of relief "for the
farmers particularly, and for the
people of the country as a whole,
from the present excessive cost of
railroad transportation.”
Reforms proposed by the execu
tive to overcome the confessed fail
ure. of the Esch-Cummins bill, Mr.
McAdoo said he inaugurated in his
administration as director general of
railroads but that they were "thrown
away by the Esch-Cummins act.
which restored every wasteful and
* uneconomical practice which fed
j eral control had abolished.”
’ Kellogg Soon to Leave
For Post in London
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Frank
B. Kellogg, whose nomination as
ambassador to Great Britain was
confirmed yesterday by the senate,
probably will sail from New York
December 22 on the President Har
ding to take up the duties of his
new post at London. He had a brief
conference today with President
Coolidge and then went to the state
1 department to arrange for hisi com
mission and receive instructions.

Izzy’s always snooping around. On the left you see him hunting that trap-door up on the roof.
And in the center —oh, boy! Certainly no further explanation’s necessary. But Izzy won't give
you a drop. On the right, the elusive Einstein is giving a suspicious looking barrel a good once-over.
Dime and Dollar a Drink
Stuff All Out of Same Bot
tle, He Says—Traps High
and Low . y
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 12—Gold is
where you find it.
Any old-time miner will tell you
that.
And the same is true with boozq
according to Izzy Einstein, federal
prohibition sleuth de luxe.
"I go out’ and find it,” says Izzy.
“That’s how I get it.”
And his moon-like face creases in
an expansive grin showing every
gold tooth in his broad mouth.
Izzy, whose fame nearly rivals his
illustrious namesake who expounded
the theory of relativity, chuckles so
hard all his 200 and some odd pounds
quivers as he begins to teli-liow he
is “drying up New Orleans, wettest
of all American cities, by Christ
mas.”
Pete Hunts Fights
The story starts with Izzy drifting
quietly down from New York and
registering at an exclusive hetel
with “Battling Pete” Reagan, his
pugilistic protege.
Now, Pete really is somewhat of
a boxer. At least, he used to be, be
fore he went to fighting booze with
Izzy Einstein.
They were looking for a match.
They.got training quarters at a pri
vate gymnasium, conducted by a
former city detective.
And that was only the opening gun
in their bombardment of 2500-odd
liquor-dispensing emporiums in New
Orleans.
Ten Cents a Shot
After that, Izzy was everywhere.
His widely heralded disguises
changed with startling rapidity.
First day Izzy was in greasy over
alls on the river-front wharves, un
loading bananas. He bought “moon”
for ten cents a shot in water-front
saloons.
That night in "soup 'and fish”—
monocle included —he entered an ex
clusive club and bought whisky at
a dollar a drink. And Izzy swears it
wasn’t a bit better than the kind he
bought for a dime a throw down on
the river.
Next day, in flashy checkered suit,
he was the hot sport up and down
the Tango Belt. He. entertained fel
low sports, bought drinks lavishly
and made all sorts of friends.
But the Tango Belt is in mourning.
And Izzy’s to blame.
Then, all bedecked in costly look
ing clothes and massive jewelry, and
posing as a retired brewer, he
mingled with kindred spirits at an
exclusive luncheon 'club. He cursed
prohibition up and down and sat in
for a couple games of pinochle.
Bucktown Mourns, Too
Os course he wanted their ad
dresses. And down in his little note
book they went.
That night, all 'dolled up in fault
less tuxedo, with a young woman of
more than average beauty leaning
on his arm, he rolled out to the
West End. There by the shores of
Lake Ponchartrain gleam the lights
of Bucktown, with its suburban
cases.
Now the lights of said cases are
dimmed. Agian, Izzy’s to blame.
At three ' prominent restaurants
he applied for a job as a waiter. He
was from New York, he said.
Cleared out because that "damn
Iz/iy Einstein’s shuttin’ things up
too tight for good sports there.”
He did not land the jobs. But
two or three proprietors invited him
to return later.
He took them at their word. The
proprietors and waiters wish he
hadn’t.
“It's the funniest game in the
world,” muses Izzy.
High Power Gin
He even laughs about the time
the bartender in New York served
him kerosene . when he called for
gin. The barkeep had met him be
fore.
For amusement, Izzy plavs the
slide-trombone. That got him a job
in Brooklyn once when no other
government agent could get past
the doors. Tn the raid that followed,
a truckload of liquor was the prize.
He admits he has worked at every
job from bank clerk to peddler of
collar buttons in getting evidence.
“New Orleans is she wettest spot
I've struck,” he asserts. “But I’m
gonna make it dry by the time
Canta. Clause comes.”
And the 2,500-odd bootleggers are
beginning to think he is darned near
right.
Four Children Die

BAPTISTS VOTE TO DIVIDE
FUNDS ON FIFTY-FIFTY BASIS
Great Debate Precedes De
cision at Macon Conven
tion —Educational Institu
tions Ask for More Money
\
BY LOUIE D. NEWTON
(Editor of The Christian Index)
MACON, C:., Dec. 12. —The Geor
gia Baptist convention voted at
12:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon
to adopt the amendment offered to
the report of the executive board
committing the convention to a ba
isis of fifty-fifty division of funds in
the next general campaign of the de
nomination. This means that by the
decisive vote of 240 to 6i, Georgia
Baptists will continue to give as
much to causes outside of Georgia
as thev keep at home for the inter
ests of the Georgia Baptist conven
tion. The vote came after one of
the most intense debates ever wit
nessed on the floor of the conven
tion. The closing address of the de
bate was by Dr. K. C. McConnell,
of Atlanta, who favored the fifty
fifty percentage.
The convention resumed its work
in the afternoon with a further dis
cussion of the exact amount of the
funds kept within Georgia, to be dis
tributed to the various institutions
of the Georgia Baptist convention.
Mercer university and Bessie Tift
college along- with the other Baptist
schools and colleges of the state
were to make a strong appeal for
increased budgets with which to
carry on their expanding programs.
It was expected that the convention
will reach a vote on these, matters
during the afternoon.
Another matter to be taken up
during the afternoon session is the
report of the holding commission
about which thererfias been keen an
ticipation on the part of the con
vention. This report will be read
by Willis Evans, chairman, of San
dersville.
At the opening session Tuesday
afternoon, Dr. John D. Mell, of
Athens, Ga., was unanimously re
elected president of the convention’
to serve his thirteenth consecutive
term. Dr. B. D. Ragsdale, of Ma
con, was re-elected secretary to
serve his twenty-eighth consecutive
year in this office. Both were elect
ed by acclamation.
The vice presidents elected were:
Rev. N. G. Christopher, Rev. J. B.
Rabun Rev. John Davison. Rev. W.
R. Owens; the latter of Macon.
Etheridge Speaks
Frank S. Etheridge, of Atlanta,
who recently gave SIOO,OOO to Mer
cer university, addressed the second
session of the pastor-laymen’s con
ference held at the First Baptist
church Tuesday. He said that he
believed God had a purpose for each
of the inhabitants of the world to
fulfill, and that when he gave the
money to Mercer he did it in order
to feel the rapture that one feels
when he serves God’s purpose.
“All my life I have felt that God
was leading me, and all my life I
have felt the need of an education.
‘You have not chosen me, but I have
chosen you,’ ” he quoted. He stress
ed the need of Christian education,
pointing out the dangers of non-
Christian education.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and adopted, and all min
isters who have been ordained since
the last meeting and who have
moved to Georgia since the last
meeting w’ere introduced and wel
comed.
Dr. Ham Upholds Bible
The principal sermon was preach
ed by Rev. John W. Ham, of At
lanta. He stressed the need of
spiritual religion, and said that Bap
tists have a great opportunity to
bring spiritual religion to the
world.
He deplored the worship of the
great American God, “Success.” In
answer to those who have made
known their fears for the future of
the Bible, he said that the only de
fense the Bible needs is an open
book. “When the Mayflower an
chored on the coast of America, the
greatest thing in her cargo was the
burden of principles. Those people
brought with them soul liberty, and
they stood for an open book,” he
said.
Rev. Ham then touched on the
Baptist 75-million-dollar campaign.
“This campaign is a challenge to
even greater things,” he said. “The
campaign is the miracle of what
people can do when they set their
hearts to it. Babies of all nations
and races speak the same language.
They have the same cry. The world
also has the same cry. The cry of
human needs. Regeneration as well
as education is needed. Witness
Germany, a nation educated and
without God.”
Most favorable comment has been
heard among the messengers con
cerning the progress of Mercer uni
versity as shown in the annual re
port to the convention.
Mercer Report
The report shows that Mercer’s
assets for the year ending June 30,
1918. were $738,311.25; that the ex
penditures for that year were $71,-
433.83, while tbe income was $61.-
367.86, a loss of $10,065.97. The as
sets for Juno 30, 1923, wera sl,-
571,344.28. To this, however, should
be added funds derived from the W.
B. Hardman fund, from Mrs. L. E.
Gay, of Cuthbert, • Ga., the Dodd
fund, a bequest from Governor Ter
rell and the recent gift of F. S.
Ethridge, of Atlanta, of SIOO,OOO,
of which increases the total assets
of the institution to $1,783,834.28.
Dr. Weaver reported that Mercer
is now doing all work required by
the Southern Baptist Theological
seminary for the Master of Theology
degree, which covers three years of
theological work. It is tlie plan, he
said, to establish a special course for
the training of religious work direc
tors, pastors’ assistants and other
church workers. The plan also con
templates the addition of new pro
fessors and post-graduate degrees.
The university has an endowment
fund for SIOO,OOO for theological in
struction.
A recommendation was made
that the School of Journalism and
the School of Theology be opened to
women without entering into com
petition with the regular colleges for
women. The addition of another
man to the faculty of the School of
Commerce will make the school the
equal of any in the south, he said.
Enrollment at the institution, Dr.
Weaver reported, since the close of
the colelge year, has been 961, of
which 757 are now on the campus.
More Dormitories Needed
"We are not able to provide dor
mitory space for our first-year men,”
said Dr. Weaver, "although we are
using seven buildings. We need im
mediately dormitories for 400 more
students. The income of the institu
tion would be greatly increased by
this investment. We need to double
the floor space of our present library
building, to erect a science build
ing, to provide another building for
the School of Theology, another for
the School of Law an dto construct
twenty cottages for the housing of
married ministerial students. If
Mercer university had at the present*
time $1,000,000 every cent could be
profitably expended in new build
ings alone.”
Besides an increase in the num
ber of faculty members of tha
School of Commerce, Dr. Weaver
also recommended an increase in the
number of faculty members of oth
er departments of the university.
The total income for the institution,
Dr. Weaver reported, for the year
1922-23, was $260,393.78, an increase
of nearly $200,000 over the year
1917-18.
High tribute was paid Dr. Weaver
to the Mercer university faculty
members. “Thirteen of our profes
sors have a national reputation £or
scholarship; there are now five for
mer college presidents and three
former deans teaching in the uni
versity.”
Dr. .Mell's .Address
The address of President Mell
Tuesday afternoon was the feature
of the opening day’s session. Char
acterized by his usupal sense of hu
mor and sagacity, he swept the con
vention in an appeal for sane optim
ism at this time.
“I doubt if any group of people in
Georgia have a higher responsibility
than the Baptists of the state in
the welfare of our people. There
are lots of us and we owe a great
deal to our neighbors. I trust that
we shall be earnestly concerned to
meet our responsibilities in the spirit
of Chirst,” said Dr. Mell.
Dr. Arch C. Cree, executive sec
retary of the convention, gave a re
view of the year in which lie aroused
the convention to a renewed sense
of privilege in service both to the
people of this state and also to the
world. His report revealed the fact
that Georgia Baptists gave $28,000
more this year than»last year. The
■total receipts for the year were $827,
512.84.
Education
Last night’s session was devoted to
a discussion of education with Mer
cer university and Bessie Tift col
lege having the full time. President
Chamlee, of Bessie Tift, addressed
the convention concerning the work
of his institution. * The following
men made speeches favoring a
larger support of Bessie Tift: F. C.
McConnei, ip., Tifton; G. J. Davis,
Hartwell; R. L. Robinson, Wood
ville; C. J. Lowe, Macon; K. O. Mar
tin, Omega; H. L. Batts, Atlanta;
W. J. Barton, Edison; W. H. Moody,
Canton; D. A. Howard, Fort Valley;
Mrs. John Spalding, Atlanta, and C.
A. London, Atlanta.
Dr. Rufus W. Weaver, president
of Mercer, made the main address
of the evening. He gave an inclu
sive survey of educational condi
tions in Georgia and stirred the con
vention in an appeal for greatly in
creased funds for public education
in this state.
It is expected that Columbus will
get the 1924 session.
Committees
The following committees were an
nounced Tuesday:
On Foreign Missions—O. P. Gil
bert. R. L. Gilbert. G. F. Tyner. W.

Dr. Weaver Pleads for
Adequate Education of
Children of Georgia
MACON, Ga., Dec. 12.—Dr. Rufus
W. Weaver, president of Mercer uni
versity, told the delegates to the
Georgia Baptist convention fast
night that he was interested in the
children of the country more than
the college. He was discussing the
educational system in Georgia. One
tenth of the people of Georgia are
unable to read and interpret the Bi
ble, he sa-id.
He deplored the fact that only one
student out of 200 finishes college.
Thirty per cent of the population of
the country lives in the south, he
said, and 36 per cent of all the chil
dren of school ages in the country
live in the south, and three-fourths
of all children in schools in the
south, he said, are in the first three
grades.
“The most important educational
problem facing the Georgia Baptist
convention,” said Dr. Weaver, “is
not the building of Mercer or Bessie
Tift but the building of public
schools in the rural districts.
“We have a right to demand of
the state that z the children of the
state be given the opportunities to
which they are entitled.”
Dr. Weaver declared that there
should be an equalization board in
distributing the $4,250,000 annually
paid on state public schools.
lhe equalization board should
give the poor counties on condition
that the poor counties raise an equal
amount by taxation.” he said.

T SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1923.
Dr. John Hammond,
Leader in Religious
Education, Is Dead
Dr. John D. Hammond, former
Georgian and for many years leader
in educational and religious work in
this state, died Tuesday at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Bradford Roul
stone, at Islip, N. Y., according to
advices received Wednesday by rela
tives and friends here.
Dr. Hammond, who had been re
tired from the Methodist conference,
was a recent visitor here, stopping
with his nephew, A. D. Adair. The
illness which caused his death be
came evident shortly after his re
turn north, where he had been mak
ing his home for several years.
He was known as one of the fore
most workers in the cause of reli
gious education during past years,
and had been indefatigable in his
efforts for the betterment of the
various church institutions with
which he was connected.
Dr. Hammond was at one time
president of Wesleyan Female col
lege, at Macon, going from that in
stitution to the presidency of Cen
tia! college, Fayette, Mo. He was
also secretary of the Methodist edu
cational board ten years, residing in
Nashville. Tenn. For many years
he was one of the leaders of the
North Georgia Methodist conference.
Dr. Hammond came of a notable
Georgia family. He was the son of
the late Judge Dennis F. Hammond,
mayor o fAtlanta during the seven
ths, and brother of the late Wil
liam R. Hammond, who died recent
ly'. His education was received at
the University of Georgia, where he
graduated in 1871.
He is survived by his wife; one
son, Henry Hammond, o fPittsburg,
Pa.; two daughters, Mrs. Bradford
Roulstone, of Islip, N. Y., and'Miss
Frances Hammond, of New York
City; his nephew, A. D. Adair, of
Atlanta and a niece, Mrs. Julian
Field, of Atlanta. The funeral will be
held Thursday, at Islip.

cloths and vestments make impossi
ble their repair or even handling.
Three weeks was required to unpack
one small box to enable experts to
note the general appearance of its
objects and the schemes of decora
tion so that copies could be made
and the original gold and jeweled
decorations placed with accuracy.
Wooden parts of chariots buried
with the king were in good condi
tion, but the leather harness had
been reduced to powder. One robe
was decorated with 50,000 beads
whichXnust be sewed one by one to
a copy. Replicas of ancient sandals
must be made and covered with gold
trappings.

Captain Hobson Safe;
Role of Missing Man
Played Unwittingly
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12.—Cap
tain Richmond Pearson Hobson.
Spanish-American war hero and
prohibition crusader, was safe at
home today after an experience
which, like his adventure in San
tiago bay, left him surrounded with
publicity but unscathed.
A windstorm and brush fire set
the stage on which Captain Hobson
unwittingly played the role of miss
ing husband and father. He had
gone into the hills with his brother,
Major J. M. Hobson, and. an inves
tigator from the district attorney’s
office, in search of the major's son
and his own, who had failed to re
turn from a hiking trip when ex
pected.
After the three men were well
out of reach of telephones, the
missing boys came home. Then
Major Hobson became separated
from his two companions, and when
he could not find them again,
launched another search of the hills.
High winds and a dangerous brush
fire lent substance to the rumor
that all was not well with Captain
Hobson and his companion, but re
ports were proved unfounded when
the two men returned to their homes
not knowing that a search had been
started so? them.
