Georgia Senator De
clares Aldrich Bill Is
Wrong and Vicious.
THOS. E. WATSON’S
LETTER IS READ
Declares Measure Is Drawn
in Favor of the Rich
and Powerful.
WASHINGTON, Fob. 14.—Senator
Clay, nf Georgia, .poke for an hour and
a half today, dtacuaalng every phaae of
the financial queatlon. He analyzed
the Aldrich bill and declared It was
wrong and vldoua and* would give no
relief to the South and Weat. He con
tended that It simply enlarged the pow-
era of the national banka, and that con.
greaa waa relinquishing the sovereign
right to laaue and circulate money,
which It ought never to do. He favored
the minority plan for the govenitnent
to laaue 1500,000,000 of treaaury'notea,
and to uae them In paying the expenaea
nf the government, that they might
find their way Into all the fchannet, of
trade.
He a poke of the fact that now we
have 1350,000,000 of treaaury notea, not
mating the government anything and
performing all the functions of money,
and this amount could be eaally In-
creaaed to 1500,000,000 without In any
wav disturbing our flnancea and could
not result In a depreciated currency.
Drawn in Favor of Rich.
He contended that the atate bonda,
city bonda and municipal bonda of the
South and Weat were now being held
by Eaatem capitalists, and that tha
South and Eaat could not by thalr uae
secure any addltlonar circulation by
making these bonda a basis of circula
tion, as they had already been sold In
the East.
He declared that'the class of railroad
bonds mentioned In the Aldrich bill ap
plied solely to the railroads In the Eaat
and that the railroads In the South and
West had never paid dlvldendi as pro
vided in the Aldrich bill; he declared
(hat the bill was drawn In favor of the
rich and powerful, enabling them to
control our money iaaue. and not In the
Interest of the American people.
He declared he stood by the doctrine
once advocated by John C. Calhoun,
Thomas Benton and Andrew Jackson,
that our muhey ought to be gold and
silver and paper money Issued by the
government. He ridiculed the Idea that
additional treasury notes would depre
ciate because we did not have the gold
to redeem them.
Senator Clay said:
Guarantee Redemption in Gold.
“If the Aldrich bill becomes a law
the government guarantees the re
demption In gold of the additional notes
Issued by the national banka and would
not that be aa great a strain on the
gold reserve as treasury notes?"
Senator Clay contended that the pen
pie prefer paper money and that there
was no raid on the treasury now to
have the paper money redeemed In
fold; he did not maintain that we
could Issue an unlimited amount of
paper money, but the Issue should be
guarded and limited In amount to meet
the needs and actual demapda of the
course. He criticised severely the
flnnnclHl policy of the government In
the past In making our bonda and nit
of our obligations redeemable In gold.

MRS. ALFRED El DIETRICH.
NEW YORK,' Feb. 14.—"I win never
take her back. No man'with red’blo.oA
In his velhl Vo'uht. She has gone with
Brenchley. To me she Is aa dead.” said
Alfred E. Dietrich, the young Stand
ard OH millionaire whose wife left New
York for Paris on ^December 8. coln-
cldentnlly with Harry S. Brenchley,
formerly coachman for Alfred Vander
bilt. when he admitted for the first time
that It was a genuine elopement.
Mr. Dietrich was discussing a report
circulated In horse show circles that
the couple were preparing to returrt to
New York shortly. Until now Mr. Diet-
rich has expressed absolute faith In his
beautiful young wife, who Is said to be
worth 18,000,000 In her own right. In
his previous statements he has said
that stories of her having been In love
with Brenchley ware started by the
young horseman hltpself. .,, .
It was also' established'-Hhni the
young- mttllomrtre that Mrs. Dietrich
and Brenchley are now together In Par
is. The husband Insists that there Is
no possible chance nf a reconciliation
between himself and the formfb Vir
ginia belle, who, ax Mias Edna H.
Young." was one of the moat popular
girls of her set.
That this strangely romantic couple
have actually decided to return to New
York within the next few weeks Is said
by Brenchley's. friends to be a fact. The
coachman haa written that both him
self and Mrs. -Dietrich are very anxious
that a divorce be obtained by her hus
band which will permit them to be
married. They are willing to face their
frlenda and the young matron's rela
tives In order to hasten such a pro
ceeding, It Is believed.

Senator Clay said that It would be a

•hould absolutely surrender the aov-
vi'lgn right to reyulate our circulating
"tedium and leave It to Individuals and
corporations; for then gradually the
country ehould be owned by the bank
Ing associations.
. Hr. Clay criticised congrree severely
for allowing a surplus of 1100.000,000 to
accumulate In tbe treasury. If this
money waa not needed t> pay the ex
penses of/he grvernment. It ought to
have been left In the hands of the pen-
He He criticised the pod y if the
government In allowing dep-xlta to re
main In the banks without Interest; he
•«ld he did not blame the secretary " r
the treasury for placing the money In
the national banka, aa It was better
there than in the treasury, but hs con
tended that It would have been better
r,, r the money never to have been col
lected by the taxation. He said that a
"ell regulated government, city nnd
state, never collected from Its eltlsens
taxes that It did not need to pay the
expenses of the government.
Mr. flay commended In the highest
terms the manly fight made liy Andrew

vits from the Lanahans and others
contradicting Parker. Blease said;
“Why did Parker wait till Lanahan
was dead. I do not say that Parker- Is
a liar, but Lanahan says that Parker
Is a liar. If Lanahan said that I was
his agent he lied, and If Parker says
that I was Lanahan's agent he Is a

AUGUSTA. Ga„ Feb. 14— A negro,

Carolina authorities. Hs answers min

That a general walkout of employees
on the Southern railway will result If
the officials of the road attempt to re
duce the salaries nf the men belonging
to the variobs organisations holding
wage scale contracts, Is the belief of
labor leaders conversant with the site
uatlon.
Labor officials connected with the
various railway labor organizations
have been summoned to Washington
for a conference with President Finley
and other officials of the road, looking
toward a wage adjustment. In a dis
patch from Washington President Fin
ley Is quoted as admitting this to be
true:
These wage scale contracts provide
for cither perty terminating them on
thirty days' notice, and It Is generally
believed that If the employees do not
consent to a revision of the wage scsle
the Bouthern will give notice of termi
nating the contract and then reduce
wages.
On the other hand. It was pointed out
by a prominent railway official Friday
that the forces of organised tabor on
the Southern are receiving wages that
were agreed upon Ip the days of pros
perity. It was declared that when In
creases were asked for on the ground
of Increased business, they were grant
ed, and that It Is no more than proper
for the same men to agree to a reduc
tion now. It was intimated In some
railroad quarters that It the men did
not agree to a reduction to the former
scale, contracts would M terminated
and wages reduced.
This proposed readjustment will af
fect engineers, firemen, conductors, ma
chinists. railway trainmen, telegraphers
and others.
The to per cent cut announced by
the Western and Atlantic and .the
Nashville. Chattanooga and 8t. Louis,
affecting employees receiving over 154,
Is said by officials of those roads to
apply to those men who received a 10
per cent Increase In 1*07. 11 Is pointed
out that the new order only placee the
men In the same position as they were
In December, 1*04. and that It will »s-
maln in force until business Improves.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—That there
will be a reduction, or. at least, an at
tempt to make a reduction In the wages
of all the employee# of the Southern
Railway Company, was admitted yes
terday afternoon by President Finley.
"The company Is arranging for con
ferences with repressntotlves of Its
employees,” eald Mr. Finley, "for the
consideration of the present wage ad
justment. The purpose of the proposed
conferences Is to lay before the em
ployers the situation surrounding the
company and to secure their support In
the present conditions of trade depres
sion that are upon It and all the rail
ways of the booth.”
As the Southern employs altogether
between tt.000 and 41.(00 men. the ap
proximate-number of employ.--* whoj.
wagee may be reduced U 40,009.

Is now stated that seven of
the eleven district agricultural schools
established In Georgia are now In op-

assured. The four schools that have
not yet been opened are the Sixth dis
trict school, at Bamesvflle; the Elev
enth district school, at Douglas; the
Tenth district school, at Sparta, and
the Ninth district school, at Clarkes-

These schools are preparing for a
triumphant rail session this year.
Professor T. O. Scott, superintendent

there will open about September 1. The
educational train from the State Agri
cultural College at Athens, os It tours
the different districts. Is directing at
tention of ths people to their local
schools, where excellent preparatory
study la offered.
An Interesting meeting was held at
Juliette, the citizens listening with evi
dent appreciation to the lectures.
While making the noonday atop In
Macon quite a number of citizens, busi
ness men. professional men nnd farm
er* visited the train and viewed the
exhibits. There were visitors present
from counties adjoining nibb county,
thru which the train will tour later.
Among the prominent men present were
T. C. Parker, president of tbe Parker
Railway News Company; a hotel man,
farmer and dairyman. Mr. Parker was
highly pleased with the meeting an,I
arranged to correspond with the dairy
department of ths college.
At Cochran, the 4 o'clock stop for
Thursday, the town was crowded with

mendation waa heard from all aides.
Many well-known citizens were In at

was In the crowd.
Situated Ip a beautiful valley, at the
base of a high hfll at Juliette, In Mon
roe county. Ua.. la the largest corn mill
In the world, the capacity being 10,000
bushels or twelve car loads of corn per
day. It le here that the waters of the
usually psaceful Ocmulgee river rush
with terrific force on their course to the
sea.
The mill Is the property of Dr. W. P.
Glover, one of Monroe county’s most
progressive citizens, who some year*
a go decided that the water power at
this point was a valuable asset. The
harnessing of this great power and tho
subsequent construction of the mill re
sulted. The structure Is built of wood.
For years the water was allowed to
rush by In force sufficient to propel a
mill of Immense capacity, and It was
this that attracted the promoter's at
tention.
Tbe toll of a mill of this capacity
would be 1.240 bushels per day, or about
one car load of grain. There Is a ready
demand for the product of this mill at
a price of cents per bushels In ad
vance of any other.
While the educational train was side
tracked at this place Thursday, the mill
was thrown open for the Inspection of
tbe entire party.
