A new phase of the light on the com bine may be taken up—the charge that the packer* control tho wheat and hay markets and have put the screws on the farmers by sending them prices of those commodities.

It Is a common f tracllce to take poultry that has been n cold storage from one to two years, and by the use of chemicals and the smearing of blood from recently killed chickens, to give It the look of fresh ness.

Y„ Feb. 22.—The lid was hoisted off the mess that hoe stirred the Republicans of the state over since the Allds scandal started today, when SenAtor Benn Conger wan ordered to name thr bribe-takers. The namo of Assemblyman Doughty, of Queens, waa brought Into the case and then Colonel Dunn, chairman of tho Repub lican state committee, was natped' os the man to whom was handed a tS.noo fund raised In 1908 by the bridge com panies to prevent Inimical examina tion. Conger wan not allowed to make these revelations without a sharp con flict In the senate. Senator -Brackett, objecting to the decision of the chairman on the nam ing of tho men Involved, said he appro- elated tho fact thnt there were many on the verge of hysteria on the sub ject of Investigation, but he wanted to be recorded against the pmponltlon that a witness should be compelled to tell of hearsay evidence. Senator Grady, rending from the rec ord, showed that tho question was not hearsay evidence, but was on whether Burnett hud told him he was to divide the money with other*. Conger said. In answer to the ques tion, that his brother had told him Burnett was to divide It. Senator Walnwright: "What did he say?" Senator Conger: "He suld Mr. Bur nett claimed he would have to have considerable money and that he (Bur nett) would have to take care of the chairman of the internal nfrnJrs com mittee and olhera on Ihe floor." Chairman Wants Facts. Senator Brackett moved to atrike out tha question and answer, still holding that the queatlon and answer waa henrsay evidence. Th# chairman de nied the motion. The chairman of the cominltteo on Internal affairs at that tlmo Was Aesemblyman Doughty, of Queens. Senator Conger said that Fred W. Sage, of the Beaver Falls Bridgo Com pany. told a conference of bridge men. of whom Conger waa tine. In Albany that a member of the legislature was demanding money. The bridge com panies raised a fund which wu.< placed In the hands of George Newell. Thl* fund waa returned.

PRESIDENT BARRETT ADDRESSES GATHERING More Than 1,200 Delegates Attend Convention in Hall of the House of Rep resentatives. His Condition Is Improved (Copyright by Underwood A Understood. New Turk.) BENJAMIN RYAN TILLMAN. The senior senator from South Carolina, who was stricken suddt at Washington several days ago, has partially recovered hi* speech shows considerable improvement. This is a late photograph. “Increase tho acreage of food-pro ducing crops." This was the keynote of the speech of President J. W. Lee, before one of tho largest nnd moat enthuslastlo meetings of - the Formers * union tn Georgia Tuesday morning In the hall of tho house of representatives at the state capitol. ‘ The spacious hall was jammed and It was estimated that fully 1,200 dele gates, representing nearly all the coun ty and local lodge* In the state, were present. National President C. 8. Bar rett also spoke. This was the semi-annual meeting of the atnte organization, and coming midway between the - two regular meetings, the program was devoted ex clusively to th* transaction of hu«l- ncss, the appointing of new commit tees and the discussion of matters of Interest to the members of the union. Present conditions nnd preparation for the coming crops were tho chief topics of Interest '• President Lee’s Addreit. President l-ee took up the light for tho farmers of the country against tha present abuse of the cotton "tare." Ho urged tho members to keep up an ac tive campaign. lie said the farmers were willing for the actual weight of the tics nnd bagging to be deducted, hut no more. Tho ivelght of the tare Is usunlly about eighteen pounds, hut the dealers tnke off about thirty.(lx pound*. President Leo’* remarks were re garded with much Importance when he referred to tho production of food crops because of the recent boycott on meat and Investigations In congress as to the high price* of foodstufTs. i President Lee told his hearers that the farmer should bo the most Inde pendent of all the people In the coun try. He told them that with an ade quate acreage of food crops that would produce enough for his own consump tion njid a little more, would prevent the high prices, nnd If prices did go high, he would not bo worried, be cause Ids own smokehouse and larder should be full nil the time. President Barrett wan the next speaker, and his flrat remarks were about the campaign In Washington. I,. <'■• against the gambling features c in - nacted with the hlg cotton exchanges. "The farmers can eliminate the gam bling features from the cotton ex changes." said he. "|f they would go at It right. They could get these abuses abolished If they went at the matter lit a systematic manner. •The farmer can get any legislation he wants. There Is no need for him to organist a new party to enable hint to secure legislation he needs. He can get tills legislation without being ac cused of being for or ngalnst anylH,d>’s political party If he will only g|\e his congressman to understand that lie must have such legislation as d-mand- I.ct him understand that he will he left at home at the next election unless he gives tho farmer the Just laws he needs."

Councilman From Ninth Ward Says He’ll Quit If Appropri ation Is Diverted. I’LL NOT BE MEMBER OF ANY ANANIAS CLUB” Says That If Money Is Used to Pay Interest on Bonds, He’ll Retire to Pri vate Life. Councilman Aldine Chambers, of the Ninth ward, declines to become a mem- btr of the Ananias club. And the councilman la out on the warpath with his scalp knife sharpened for those who seek to place him In that historic and flourishing organization. And. furthermore, the councilman from Ihe Ninth Is dead serious and he stated Tuesday that he will renlgn hie position unless he 1* relieved from tho embarrassing situation. Here's the why: , ... The city of Atlanta needs this year $100,000 with which to make the flrst annual payment on the $3,000,000 bond Issue. No provision was made for It In ihe January apportionment sheet and In order to secure the necessary sum It must b* made up from appropriations made In that sheet for other purpose*. Where the Trouble I*. After a stormy debate Monday after noon council voted to take the fund zpproprlated for street and chert work and contingent upon the passage of the bond* and refer It to the finance com mittee for the purpo*e of assisting In miking up tha S 100,040. There's the rub. Councilman Chambers la chairman of ihe streeti committee. He has prom ised ihe people, he says, In speeches for the bond Issue that thl» money waa sppmpriated for (treat work contingent upon the bond Issue. Th# bond# passed, and now. If the finance committee, aid 'd and abetted by council, takes thl* money from the street fund Mr. Cham bers will be placed In the category of Hi subjects for the Ananla* club. So toys the councilman himself. If tho present plan Is followed, ac cording to Mr. Chambers, here are the «um» that will be taken from him: From street# ordinary. $20,000; from ■treet repair*. $3,000; from street pay rolls, 18.000; from chert fund, $28,000; from belglan block repair*. $2,000; from Harletta-at. paving from Tabernacle ■'lace to Norih-ave., $13,000, making a otal of $88,000. "But not only that," say* Mr Cham bers, "Ihoy propose to take from my sard, the Ninth, the $12,000 which was tpproprlated for a Are engine house, hus making the streets committee and iy ward pay $80,000 on thl* $100,000. "If* outrageous,” he declared. -I limply win not stand for It. nnd If •ounoll and the finance committee In- H»t on It I will resign. I can not be ilsred in the attitude of having prom eed the people this street work, condl- loned on the bond Issue, and then be dared in the attitude of deceiving them liter the bonds have passed.” It Is stated that the finance commlt- 'e propose* to secure an additional 110.000 from the amount appropriated o the sanitary department.
