£ljc Atlanta ©ri-WttWM 3o urnal ,VOL. XXVII. NO. 23 , CALL FOR EXTRA SESSION IS LIKELY ASCOIYGRESS OPENS i Little Chance Seen For i Passage of Any But Supply Measures WASHINGTON, Nov. 30—The turbulent Sixty-eighth congress, with its record already marked by the great investigations of last winter and by a regime of progressive-in- , surgent control, returned Monday for ' its final short session which bids fair to be as stormy as was its first. The unprecedented ousting of the f La Follette senators from party councils by the Republican senate caucus Friday was the first event of the session and the bitterness and dissension thus accentuated will very likely makes any but the most rou tine business impossible. In the deliberate opinion of house and senate leaders on the eve of the reconvepng of congress this term will accomplish nothing beyond the passing of the appropriation bills and possibly will dispose of Muscle Spoals. Other measures will no doubt be debated and discussed at length, especially in the senate, and no doubt may pass one or the other of the two houses, but there is no general expectation here that other important bills will be enacted into 1 laws. Supply Bills First The passage ot the appropriation bills to provide funds to run the gov ernment for the next fiscal year is a necessity. Unless they are enacted the government cannot go on. The result, of course, of the failure of any of the important supply bills to pass before this congress goes out of existence March 4 would be the calling of an extra session of the new congress immediately after March 1. President Coolidge has repeatedly stated he did not wish to call an ex . tra session next spring. And yet the A unsettled situation in this short ses sion may make the calling of a spe cial session necessary. If during the three months of this term the supply bills are delayed by the bickering and dissension which broke out even before the term got under way the end of next February may see a spe cial session inevitable. i Three of the outstanding Repub lican figures in the senate died dur ing the recess, Senator Lodge, Mas sachusetts, Republican floor leader; f Senator Colt, Rhode Island, chair man of the immigration committee, and Senator Brandegee, Connecticut, chairman of the judiciary committee, i Senator Curtis, Kansas, former Re- I publican whip, was elected Republic- | an leader at the caucus Friday to secceed Lodge. But the most impor- I tant change, in senate personnel dur- j >ng the recess probably was the ap- I pointraent of Republican National Chairman William M. Butler, to take Lodge's seat. The titular leader of > the Republican party, the close friend and confidant of President Coolidge, possessed of the prestige of having led the party through a tri umphant campaign, Butler, though the newest senator of the whole • body, will undoubtedly prove to be i one of the most influential. House Line-Up Unchanged There were practically no changes in the personnel of the house during e the recess. The same leaders an.d f the same line-up of Republicans, Democrats and Progressives will ap pear when the house reconvenes to morrow. Though leading Republic an congressmen, including the Re publican leader, Longworth, of Ohio, have expressed themselves in favor Os “disciplining” progressive Repub lican members who opposed Presi dent Coolidge x in the recent cam paign, it is not believed this discip line will »prove as severe as was 1 Dieted out in the senate. No plans j so far luWe been evident to bar ’ house Progressives from Republican ♦ committee assignments. Little will be done at the first day’s session tomorrow other than to swear in hew members, to pass resolutions of regret over the death of members during the recess, and to appoint committees to notify the president the congress is in session. , (Tuesday neither house plans to meet, the adjournment being taken out of respect to members who have died On Wednesday the president’s mes- 1 sage will be read to both houses In joint session, and on Thursday the president s budget recommendations y probably will be presented.

Renew Now and Get Thirteen Months for The Price of Twelve POSSIBILITY OF TAX REVISION PUZZLES COHGRESSMEMOERS Depends on Unknown Fac tors of Business and Economy BY DAVID LAWRENCE • Special Leased Wire to The Journal—Copy right, 1924.) WASHINGTON, Dec. I.—Return ing members of congress are show ing a significant curiosity about the chances of another revision of taxes. And they will # ind that the an swer to their queries cannot be given them by the president or the secre tary of the treasury. For tax revi sion depends on two unknown fac tors. One is the business condition of the country —a better economic situation meaning increased reve nues—and the other is the spending proclivity of congress itself. The treasury estimated last time that there vould be a surplus of about $380,000,000, but it actually came to $505,000,000,- which goes to show that the forecasts cannot b-s exact and 'hat a favorable business situation nd rigid economy can change a. predictiori materially. Assuming that on the basis of the figures already published there is an indicated surplus of about ■ $70,000,- 000, this would not be enough to war rant a recommendation for a revj sion of taxes. But the experience of the past h • taught that treasury es timates can be exceeded. For this reason some people have gone so far as to say there will be a $350,000,000 surplus, notwithstanding the cut that has been made by the new tax law in the expected receipts. Can Bring Surplus Congress to some extent has it in its power to bring about a surplus of $350,000,000. Economy in expendi ture will do tl e trick. If a business map wanted to bring about a surplus at the '■rid of a year he not only would cut down his expenses of op eration, but he would look to in creased revenues by better business methods. The cov wnment and con gress can’t improve economic condi tions except by >mitting to disturb business and avoiding the imposition of uncertainties in one f orm or an other. But congress can do the oth er. It can fail to spend large sums, and it can even inquire closely into the estimates of expenditures made by the executive department. Pre sumably the budget director has done all the pruning possible, but congress has been known to slash appropria tions which emanate from the ad ministration since the budget came into being. The relationship between another horizontal cut in taxes, say 25 per cent on incomes earned this year, and economy in government expen diture never has been so easy to de termine nor so manifest to the naked eye of the taxijayer as it is today. Economy has always been something academic because the in come tax law has not'been well un derstood and the war upset all standards of expenditure. In the last few years, however, economy has become one of the paramount Is sues. and the election of President Coolidge is attributed by many of his friends to his efforts to effect economies in government operation. Sentiment Favors Cut Sentiment among those members of the house and senate who arc here for next week’s session is plain ly in favor of another tax cut. The argument that the executive branch of the government has been making namely that until after the pay ments made on March 15, next, th? Cxact jevenue producing capacity of the present law will not be known, is recognized as sound, but it usual ly leads to a discussion of what the administration will do if there is a surplus.

Cotton Equals Wool As Blanket Fabric, U. S. Experts Find WASHINGTON Nov. 29.—How warm is a blanket? The bureau of standards has. investigated this im portant, if homely, question, and tonight announced the result. First, as marly have suspected, closeness of weave rather titan thick ness controls blanket warmtn. That | is especially true when blankets are j for use indoors. Putting it scien- | tifically, the bureau announcement ! said that “the greatest resistance to ; heat flow (by a blanket) in still air : was given by a blanket having a j density of 0.0835 grams per cubic | centimeter.” A heavy, thick blan ket isn’t so warm, because, the buerau said, “heat escapes by con duction along the fibers,” while the looser weaves in blankets lost much heat through interstices. Since the warmth of aJjlankeet de pends upon how much and how long it can imprison and hold still in its texture the original air con tent, the bureau said that cotton and wool both-had advantages as textile material for making blankets. Cot ton with sheets, indoors, was likely to be better, it was said, and wool outdoors, but "no significant differ ence in heat resistance or resistance to passage of air Or moisture” was found between the two materials. CO-OP MARKETING IS BOON TO WORLD. 0. S. BOARD FINOS ________ WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—C0-op erative organizations through which groups of producers and consumers band themselves together to deal in commercial markets has become “one of the most prominent features of the economic structure of the world,” the federal trade commission declared Saturday in a special report. A description of the co-operative situation in fifteen foreign countries, prepared largely from data collected by Chairman Thompson and Dr. William Notz, chief of the commis sion's export trade division, was giv en in the document. There are 285.000 co operative or ganizations in the world, the com mission estimated, through which 120,000,000 persons carry on co-op erative selling or buying. In Europe, it was declared, the shock of the European war and post-war adjust ment found in the co-operative or ganizations "in many cases the strongest bases upon which recon struction” could be laid; "In some of the larger countries of Europe, like the United Kingdom, Germany and France,” the report continued, "the consumers’ co-opera tive societies rank among the larg est producers and distributors of nec essaries of life. In Englapd and Ger many nearly half the population is affiliated with the consumers’ whole-' sale and retail societies.” The net surplus of the English co operatives in 1922 amounted to $70.,- 000,000, it was declared, while the Union of Swiss consumers had a sur plus of 14.455,218 Swiss francs in 1921. Freedom from state interference and educational effort has served to allow the large scale development of the co-operative enterprises, the re port said. Some European methods might not be wholly compatible with the American conditions, it was pointed out, but room for develop ment along the same line with the United States was suggested and dis cussed. Farmers’ co-operatives, the report said, might profitably extend their efforts for more direct marketing of foodstuffs to consumers and whole sale co-operative associations for dealing in agricultural products might be encouraged. Co-operation in rural districts for the supply of credit, for the distribution of elec tric power, coal and retailing gen erally; and extension of co-operative enterprise for export of American products were among the possibili-’ ties seen. Mercy Plea in Vain; Confessed Wife Slayer Sentenced to Hang CARLINVILLE. 111., Dec. 1.- Pleading guilty to the murder of his bride of two weeks, and throwing himself on the mercy of the court, Lester Kahl, 24 years old, Saturday was sentenced by Circuit Court Judge Frank Burton to be hanged in the county jail December 22. Sentence was pronounced after •Vidge Burton had heard arguments in which Kahl’s lawyer pleaded for mercy, declaring the defendant had shot his wife while drunk. Judge 1 Burton, however, characterized the ' deed as ‘ cold-blooded murder,” and said that "the court feels it would j be sadly remiss in duty if the de- i fendant were let off with life sen- ' fence.” Kahl previously had pleaded not guilty, but changed his plea on the ' advice of counsel.

TRDTZKY 10 HOLD POSITION INF JOE DFPRESS ATTACK Commissar of War Branded Foe of Communisim by Party Newspaper MOSCOW, Dec. 1. —Despite the bitter attacks upon Trotzky in the soviet press, it is authoritatively stated that the commissar, of war will not be expelled from the Com munist party as a result of the pres ent controversy. Denunciation of Trotzky continues in the party press and in local meet ings throughout soviet Russia. Charging that Trotzky himself initi ated this new discussion within the party, the government organ- Izves tia asserts that the internal party strife brings "sunshine into the gray lives of the counter revolutionary emigres abroad and demoralizes the international proletariat as well as the new members of the Russian Communist party and their non-par tisan sympathizers.” * In spite of this; discussion is in creasing. Resolutions condemning Trotzky's book "1917’’ are being army. The Izvestia declares that nist groups and units of the red passed daily by provincial Commit ty congress have abandoned him and • are now indorsing the central com mittee of the party. Although Trctz ky is president of the revolutionary council which opened its plenary ses- | sion Saturday, Vice President Frunze acted as chairman at the opening meeting. Frunze belongs to the ma jority group of the central commit tee of the party which opposed Trotzky. The lengths to which the party conflict has drifted is disclosed in the declarations made by Leo Kame nev in addressing a trade union council. Kamenev, who is pres ident of the Moscow soviet, land a member of the central [ committee of the party—and inci dentally Trotzky's ‘ brother-in-law— I denied rumors of Trotzky’s arrest j and stated that his expulsion from I the party was not coptemplated. i strain Kamenev from denouncing ['party. This, however, did not re- I stran Kamenev from denouncing I Trotzky’s continued opposition to I the majority group in the party, I which, he said, “is calculated to ruin I the party’s authority, and consti tutes a danger which cannot pass unnoticed.” Kemenev declared that “Trotzky is an echo of bourgeois in fluence hostile to the proletariat. 'Trotzky has become a symbol for ; the hopes of the petty bourgeoisie." I said Kamenev, arguing that, while the former moderate Menshevism | was an open enemy of Bolshevism, Trotzky conceals his opposition to .Communism u-nder the most radical phrases. Reviewing extensively Trotzky’s antagonism to the Bolshe vists before the revolution, h? cited the theoretical differences existing I between Lenin- and Trotzky in the I pre-revolutionary days, when Trotz ' ky belonged to the Menshevik wing |of the party. Referring to Trotz ikv s recent attacks upon himself, i Rykov and Zinoviev, Kamenev said ! these were in reality directed against I Lenin. ■ Kamenev « speech was supported by his colleague in the central ex- [ecutive committee, Stalin, who is widely regarded as one of the most influential lenders in Russia. Stalin said that th a danger of Trotzky.ism hes in the likelihood that it may be come the center for non proletarian elements, tending to undermine the proletarian dictatorship. "The Trotzky movement.” said Sta lin, aims to dethrone Bolshevism. Our party is strong enough to pre vent a split. We are not resorting to repressions but are carrying the struggle into the open for the pur pose of burying Trotzky's ideas.” Ever since the revival of the party j discussion Trotzky has maintained j <3n unbroken silence.

Atlanta, Ga., Tuesday, December 2, 1924 NOAH’S ARK IS A “BARGE” IN MOFFAT’S TRANSLATION OF BIBLE TO 1924 TERMS Glasgow Educator . Advo cates New Version of Scriptures for Understand-; ing of Each Generation NEW YORK, Dee. I.—Noah’s Ark is a "barge,” the Garden of Eden, a “park,” the city of David, "Davidsburg,” in the new transla tion of the Old Testament, just com pleted by Dr. James Moffat, of Glas gow, Scotland. The announced effort of Dr. Mof fat is to reduce the, Old Testament to a languge that will be understood In 1924. The author, who has many titles from leading societies, is of the opinion that the Old the King James version, couched in the language of 1611 is not clear In 1924. He advocates a ietranslation of the Bible for every generation in the languge of 1611, is not clear in The latest Moffat work is not, the preface states, a revision of the ac cepted King James revision of t’ e Scriptures, but a new translation from the orginal manuscripts. It is an interpretation, both exact and idiomatic, intended for the twentieth century, he says. The orginal trans lation, Dr, Moffat holds, was made from various sources —Judabite and northern Israel—neither of which was compiled earlier than the ninth century. Reconciles Versions The first volume, as presented in the United States by the George H. Doran company, carries through the book of Esther. Dr. Moffat, in his preface, explains that the Old Testament is for the niost part made from a collection of books, Oriental in form and in thought. They have, he says, been edited drastically by other' hands. He has tried to reconcile them and bring them up to date, in translating rhe language into modern English. He admits that the original Hebrew text has in many cases no exact translation into 1924 English. Dr. Moffat discards the word “Jehovah” and replaces it with “The Eternal” as more nearly represent ing the meaning of the ancient Hebrew word to modern thought. The new translation in dealing with the creation says: "Then God the ternal molded man from the dust of the ground, breathing into his nostrils the breath HOEBITEOH SHOALS ISSUE IN COM SEEN WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—When the Muscle Shoals issued is called ; up on the senate calendar Wednes day it probably will be referred back to the senate agriculture committee. Administration leaders are known to favor such a course, and are willing to accede to demands of southern senators that a time limit be fixed for the committee to report. Since the adjournment of congress last June the Muscle Shoals situa tion has become complicated by the withdrawal of Henry Ford’s offer, : the preparation of new proposalrt and revision of some of the other bids. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, the Republican leader, said today it Would be difficult to consider the question properly on the senate floor and he thought it should go back to the committee. Senator Underwood, Democrat, Alabama, who led the fight for the acceptance of Ford’s bid, will in troduce his new bill, which has the support of the southern senators. This bill provides for government ownership and either government or private operation of the property for the production of nitrogen for fertilizer and explosives. It is planned to offer the Under wood bill as a substitute to the Nor ris bill, which is now on the senate calendar. In many respects the two bills ere alike, but it is understood Senator Norris, Republican, Ne braska, prefers his measure, and will seek its passage. An entirely new offer appeared today from Howard Sutherland, i loi-mer senator from West Virginia, ; who, as a representative of Hamble- I ton & Co., bankers, of New York, I proposes to organize a $50,000,000 ; corporation to lease the property at ] a yearly rental of 4 per cent of the I government’s investment ur> to May i 31, 1922. The corporation would | operate under government supervi | sion, and produce fertilizer, chemi . cals and distribute power. Southern Baptists Will Be Canvassed For 15 Million Fund NASHVILLE.

Park Is Planted “In the land of Eden, in the Far East, God the eternal then planted I a park, where he put the man whom ' he hads molded. ‘And from the ground God the [ eternal made all sorts of trees to ! grow that were delightful to see and j good to eat, with the tree of life and ( the tree that yields knowledge of I good and evil in the center of the | p; rk. "From Eden a river flowed to i water the park, which, on leaving | the park branched into four I streams.” The story of the flood is told as follows: “So God said to Noah: 'I have re solved to put an end to every human being, for they have filled the earth with insolence and outrage.

Sends Deluge to Earth \ “ ‘For 1 am sending a deluge ot water on the earth to destroy every living creature under heaven; every thing on earth shall The story of the destruction of So dum and Gomorrah is explained' by the statement that the cities were surrounded by oil wells, which is a solution which modern science has frequently offered, heretofore with out direct Biblical authority, to ex plain their fate. Dr. Moffat does not hesitate to use modern English to denominate social aspects of the Biblical age and calls a. spade a spade with modern abandon. At times he verges close to American slang, but the product is extremely interesting. For in stance, in the story of Isaac, Dr. Moffat translates a remark of Re bekah to Isaac: "These Hittite wom en tire me to death.” Two years ago Dr. Moffat brought put a New Testament translation into modern English. Since 1915 he has held the chair of church his tory, in the United Free Church col lege, Glasgow, prior to which he was at Oxford, England. JUDGE SUMMEfIALL DROPS DEAD WHILE SPEAKING IN CHURCH WAYCROSS, Ga., Dee. 1 —Judge J. I. Summerall, of the superoir court of Ware county, dropped'dead Sunday while speaking at Newborn church, Telmore. Ga. In the midst of the speech, the judge asked for a glass of water, and ds the water was handed him he fell to the floor. Appoplexy is said to have been the cause of his death. He was 60 years old, and is sur vived by a widow and three chil dren. He had been a resident of Waycross for the past eleven years and was one of the most prominent citizens in the section. Funeral services will be held from the First Baptist church here at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Fol lowing the services here tlie body will taken to Blackshear, Judge Summerall’s former home for in terment. The Waycross lodge of Masons win conduct the services at the grave and active pallbearers .will be selected from the board of deacons of the First Baptist church. Hon orary pallbearers will be named from members of the bar associations of Waycross and Blackshear. Judge Summerall was completing his ninth year as judge, being elect ed to this office first in 1915, suc ceeding Judge Quinney, of Douglas, who was filling out the unexpired term of the Ware county superior court this morning. A hard student of law, Judge Summerall prepared his decisions with the greatest of care, and the fact that he had sel dom been reversed by the supreme court was a source of pride to him self and to his friends. Judge Summerall moved to War cross from Pierce county, anh be fore. his election to the office of judge practiced in Blackshear and Waycroas. Recognized as a suc cessful “■actitioner, he was urged to make the race for judge when the office became vacant in 1915. Fol lowing an active campaign he was elected by a large majority.
