MIMS PLAN
STHATEGY TO BEAT
TAX Iff DEMOCRATS
- WASHINGTON, April 27.—The
” senate will launch into the income
tax rates, the crux of the controversy
on the revenue bill, on Monday un
-der a program announced today by
Chairman Smoot, of the finance com
mittee, in charge of the measure.
Most of the non-controversial com
mittee amendments have already
been disposed of.
The content is expected to precipi
tate the most bitter legislative ses- |
sion in which party lines will be
sharply drawn. A showdown will be
. demanded first on the Mellon rates, |
placed in the bill by finance commit- i
tee Republicans in place of the Long- ■
worth compromise adopted by the
house.
However, practically admitting the
futility of obtaining the adoption of
these rates, the Republican organiza
tion leaders maneuvered today to de
feat a practically solid Democratic ;
lineup for a schedule calling for a
higher surtaxes and lower normal
rales than the Mellon plan.
Chairman Smoot said, if the Mel
lon rates were rejected he would of
fer a succession of amendments, go
ing up step by step on the maxium
surtax rate. A schedule lower than
that prepared by the and
about the same as that adopted by
the house on surtax rates would be
adopted, he predicted.
Other Republican leaders are not
so optimistic, while Democrats pre
dict their plan, advanced by Sena
tor Simmons North Carolina, ranking
Democrat on the finance committee,
calling for a maxium surtax rate of
40 per cent on incomes of $500,000
and over and 38 per cent on in
comes of $200,000, will be adopted
with the support of Republican in
■urgents.
The Mellon plan would cut. the
present maxium surtax of fifty per
cent, applicable to Incomes of $200,-
000 and over, to 25 per cent on SIOO,-
000 and over.
Mr. Smoot said if the Mellon rates
were rejected, he would offer a max
imum surtax rate of 30 per cent.
The program, if this is turned down,
he said, had not been fixed. If t Is
were intimated, however, the next
proposal would be 32 per cent
then 35 per cent, and later, if nces
sary 37% per cent. The later is the
rate in the Longworth compromise
and this is expected by many Rep
ublicans 1o be lhe minimum which
the senate will accept.

Views Widely Divergent
' “There ore widely divergent views
among technical men as to the dis
position of Muscle Shoals, he said.
Senator Ralston. Democrat, In

’■'case one hundred years from now,
. and added the engineers’ committee
didn’t advise anything except that

Senator Heflin. Democrat, Ala

had been investigated for two and
one-half years.
"We are merely suggesting." Wal
lace resumed, “that this mass of tes
timony that has accumulated be di

any action is taken.”
Senator Ralston said he had not
made up his mind on M'uscle Shoals,
and that he was after information.
"It is a question of anaylzing and

Wallace said. "We believe this is
of such public moment that time

GEORGIA MARSHAL
HELD FDR SHOOTING
MINE SUPERVISOR
LOUISVILLE, Ga., April 28.
Town Marshal Ed B. Streetman, -of
Avera, was placed in jail here Satur
day night following a shooting affray
at Avera late Saturday in which
Streetman is charged with shooting
Superintendent A. G. Dean, of the
Hardson-Wplker chalk mines, lo
cated between Avera and Gibson on
the Georgia and Florida railway.
The affair is an aftermath of re
cent trouble at Avera. On last Sun- i
day morning, the town barracks, a
brick structure, was blown to pieces
with a heavy charge of dynamite,
throwing the town into a panic. Fred
May, an employe of the chalk mines,
was arrested as a suspect and placed
in jail here, where ha is being held
without bond pending a preliminary
hearing Tuesday before Justice J.
W. White.
Phillipps & Abbot, local attorneys,
employed by the town of Avera to
prosecute the case, in company with
Sheriff D. C. Thomas, went into that
section Saturday afternoon investi
gating certain evidence in connection
with the case, going to the chalk
mines where it is alleged the dyna
mite was secured for blasting the
jaii. Some one reported to Superin
tendent Dean, who was at Gibson,
that tibe visitors were breaking into
his office. He ‘rushed towards the
office and meeting the gentlemen
mentioned he stated to them that
they had been reported as trying to
break into his office. He was as
sured that such was not the case.
Dean then drove to Avera and,
meeting Marshal Streetman, began
cursing and abusing him, when
Streetman drew his pistol, it Is said,
and fired four shots, all of which took
effect. Dean was rushed to Sanders
ville for medical treatment in a
critical condition.
Streetman's incarceration was for
his own safety, officers said, on ac
count of feeling against him.

DR. JOHN D. MELL
URGED EOR HEAD OF
SODTHERN BAPTISTS
BY FRANK E. BURKHALTER
NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 26. —
When the Southern Baptist conven
tion opens in the Atlanta city au
ditorium on Wednesday, May 14, the
Georgia messengers will present as
their candidate for presidency of the
body, Dr. John D. Mell, president of
the Georgia Baptist convention, who
lives at Athens.
Dr. Mell is a professor of law in
the University of Georgia at Athens,
and preaches at country churches
on Sundays. In the event he should
be elected, he will be the first coun
try pastor to fill the president’s
chair, and will also be the first man
to succeed his father in that capac
ity. Dr. Mell’s father, the late Dr.
p. H. Mell, holds the record on long
service as president, having presided
over the convention for fifteen years
—from 1863 to 1872 and again from I
1800 to 1887.
Dr. E. Y. Mullins, of Louisville, ,
the incumbent, has announced he ,
will retire at the Atlanta session, I
having served three years, which
has been recognized as the usual
term of service in recent years. It
is certain there will be a few can
didates from other states, but there
have been no announcements of
other candidates thus far.
Forward Strides Made
Since the convention met in At
lanta in 1919, the denomination has
gone forward at a rapid rate in prac
tically every line of endeavor. From
Dr. E. P. Alldredge, official statis
tician of the convention, who resides
here, word comes that his statisti
cal report this year will indicate |
gratifying advances since, the body I
assembled in Atlanta five years ago. I
Among these advances will he the i
increase in the number of district
associations from 925 to 983, in the
number of local churches from 24,851
to 27,093, and tn the number of bap
tisms per year from 113,833 to 195,-
864, a gain of 82,031.
The total membership of the
churches in 1919 was reported as I
2,887,428, while today it has grown
to 3,494,189, representing a net gain
in membership in the five years of
606,761. At the same time the num
ber of Sunday schools has grown
from .17,648 to 20,601, and the en
rollment has increased from 1,759,-
208 to 2,381,717, a net gain for the I
period of 622.509. In 1919 the value
of the local church property was
given at $69,794,092, while this year t
the figures have climbed to $127,-
121,096, representing an increase in ’
the five years of $57,147,004.
Big Gain in Contributions
Five years ago the annual contri- I
butions to local church expenses
amounted to $12,941,823.82, while j
this year this item is $25,045,818.09, '
a gain of nearly 100 per cent, while I
the contributions to missions and j
benevolences five years ago were |
$4,911,105.37, as contrasted this year
with $9,303,617.83, another advance :
of almost 100 per cent. Total con- 1
tributions five years ago were $17,-
852,929.19, while this year thev are
$34,439,435.92, a gain of $16,586,-
506.73.
From all indications, this year's
session will be the busiest in history
if every interest dewtanding atten
tion is given an adequate hearing.
In addition to the annual reports of
the various general boards, commis
sions and standing committees, the
convention will be called upon to lay
plans for completing the 75 million
campaign—the five-year program
for missions, education and benevo
lences which was projected here
five years ago. This matter will
come up for consideration on the
first afternoon and will be given the
right of way at that time.
Other important matters out of
the ordinary which will claim the at
tention of the body will be a pro
posed forward program to follow the
completion pf the 75 million cam
paign, the proposed reorganization
of several of the boards and other
agencies of the convention looking
to a closer correlation of the activi
ties of the body, the proposed plan
to reclaim George Washington uni
versity as a Baptist institution, the
taking over by the convention of
the Southwestern Baptist Theologi
cal seminary at Fort Worth, and an
effort to define more closely the hos
j pital policy of the convention,

GAINESVILLE SHAKEN
AS STORE-GARAGE IS
DYNAMITED MONDAY
GAINESVILLE, Ga., April 28.
Gainesville was shaken this morning
at 3 o’clock when a store on the
outskirts of the city was damaged
by a blast of dynamite. The build
ing belongs to Leman Ralston, wjjo
runs the store and garage, which is
opposite the Alta Vista cemetery.
The front of the building, including
a shed, was 'blown away, and all
window glass was broken. The same
was true of a building located 40 feet
away.
There was no one at the store at
the time, and officers have as yet
been unable to establish the identity
of the> dynamiters. It was at Rals
ton’s garage that a young man by
the name of Whitmire was killed a
few days ago as the result of a
practical joke. Three young men,
Rich Edwards, George Fester and
-W. A. Sigman, were given a pre
liminary hearing Saturday and held
under bonds of SBOO each in connec
tion with the case.
Whitmire was a native of Forsyth
county. Officers think that possibly
some of his friends may have dyna
: mited the place in a spirit of
I revenge. Ralston is well known to
officers, having had several auto
. mobiles seized in whisky cases.
Woman Art Student,
Found Dead in Lake,
Joins Spirit Affianced
CHICAGO. April 27.—The body of
i a woman, identified later as Miss
Janet Stedman, Chicago artist, who
: formerly lived at Peoria, and who
I disappeared last February, was taken
from Lake Michigan. Friends
expressed the opinion that she had
voluntary gone to join her spiritual
I sweetheart.
Years ago, when the attractive
44-j’ear-old painter studied music
abroad, injury caused a deformity
which left her lame.
Her sensitive nature barred a pub
lic career, and she turned to paint
ing. While in Paris she and a
young Frenchman, said to have been
a scion of the nobility, fell in love.
He died and left her wedded to her
art alone.
After her return to Chicago, he
told friends she had been able to
meet and converse with the spirt
of her French affianced. She kept
trysts with the spirit at the rt
institute and elsewhere, and these
visits seemed to bring her happiness.
The spiritual courtship was the
only manifestation of any abnormal
condition, according to her friends.
A day or two after her disappear
ance two of her paintings were de
livered from a picture-framing shop
to the studio of her friend; Miss
Laura Abrams. The latter recalled
that Miss Stedman had said to her;
i "When I am gone I want you to
I have these two works.”
A few days later, Mrs. A. W. Al
len. of Peoria, a sister, asked the
Chicago police tu search for the
missing artist.
Airs. Ellen Hill, director of dra-
I matic arts at a music school, told
lof an eight year acquaintanceship
with the dead woman and of her
loxe affair many years ago.

SCHOOLS DF GEORGIA
SPENT 17 MILLIONS
ONIH23DPERATIONS
/
The total receipts of Georgia
schools for 1923 were $17,580,177.34
and the total expenditures were $17,-
291,646.98, according to the annual
report of the state department of
education, made public Saturday.
The report gives details on the re
ceipts and expenditures of each
city and county school system in
the state.
“This is indeed a splendid show
ing,” Superintendent Ballard de
clared. "We cannot help but feel
proud of what Georgia is doing in
supporting heY common schools. Yet
the question arises, did we get this
much real educational value for the
money expended? Judge Covington,
upon the floor of the house of rep
resentatives, stated that the loss of
motion and- wastage in the common
schools was tragic. To what extent
this loss and wastage has affected
the results, behooves us to study
carefully, and we may find it bet
ter not to ask for more money, but
to. expend more wisely that which
we are now receiving.
"There is a great loss due to the
faulty administrative system in
Georgia. This cannot be estimated
so much in dollars and cents as it
can be in the loss to the children
in obtaining that education and that
equipment for life that the state is
expecting and really paying for.
"There is another great loss that
is entirely financial, due to the
methods and the time of payments
of the school fund. This ought to
be —and I believe will be —corrected
as soon as it is called to the atten
tion of the general assembly, and
they understand what this great
loss means to the children of Geor
gia. Let us put forward every ef
fort to see that this money that we
now receive is wisely and correctly
spent.”
Discounted Warrants
Dr. Ballard had particular refer
ence to $260,000 interest on dis
counted warrants that is charged to
the school department, and paid in
directly by the school children. He
stated that he receives many let
ters from children begging that
their schools be kept open longer
than the appropriations permit.
The balance in the consolidated
school fund on January 1, 1923, was
$3,528,147.20, of which $2,835,281.65
was represented by bond money of
the Atlanta city schools. The receipts

IMMIGRATION BILL
WILL BEDIICE LIST
FULLY 50PER CENT
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, April 26.—Immi
gration legislation has progressed to
a point where it can be determined
roughly what the quota of each
country will be under the proposed
law as compared with quotas under
the present law, .which expires
June 30. !
The quotas of the new law will
be based on 2 per cent of the num
ber of foreign-born individuals of
the various nationalities resident in
the United States as determined by
the census of 1890, plus 100, Quotas
under the existing law are 3 per
cent with the 1910 census as a base.
The number of quota immigrants
admissible annually under the pres
ent law is 357,803. Under the pro
posed law it will be, roughly, 161-
184', according to calculations made
for the congressional immigration
committees.
However, in additiori to the 161,-
184 who would be allowed to come
in under the quota regulations, there
would be an undetermined number
who might come in under the ex
emption clauses of the. law.
The exemption clauses of the sen
ate and house oills are not in com
plete accord and will have to be
worked out in a conference commit
tee. How many nnngvants might
come in under whatever exemptions
from quota are agreed to, there is
no way of ascertaining.
But, so far as quotas go, the statis
ticians have figured that the immi
gration under the new law would
compare with that under the pres
ent law something like this:

Armenia (Russian)... 230 117
