WOMEN TO HELP
GOVERN PARKS
Cochran Plans for Visiting
Board, as Club Federation
Asks City Improvements.
The Atlanta City Federation of Wo
men’s clubs presented to the council
today the set of resolutions it has pass
ed with the object of beautifying the
city by law, and of furnishing Atlanta
children recreation parks second to
none in the country.
The resolutions take the form of a
petition calling up the council to pass
many new ordinances in order to bring
about the improvements without de
lay. Simultaneously President J. O.
Cochran will introduce a resolution at
the next meeting of the park board
creating a board of lady visitors to the
city parks and playgrounds. His plan
Is to further the influence of Atlanta
women in the improvement of parks
and playgrounds. The double action
means that hereafter the women will
almost surely become more prominent
factors in that part of the city govern
ment than in any other “unequal suf
frage” municipality in the country.
Call For New Playground.
In their resolutions sent to the coun
"cil today the Federation of Women's
clubs asked that the council authorize
the park board to sod and otherv’ise.
equip vacant lots throughout the city
for use as playgrounds by the chil
dren of the neighborhoods who are
now forced to romp in the streets.
The petition points out that the city
would gain much by this plan because,
unless the property owners allow the
use of these otherwise unsightly, unim
proved spots, council itself must soon
buy land for playgrounds for the lit
tle ones. When the owner becomes
ready to improve the property for his
own use, they add, the city can easily
remove the swings and other equip
ment to some other playground.
Want Crematory at Once.
The resolutions also urge council to
lose no time in the installation of a
crematory for the disposal of the city’s
garbage and call upon the body, fur
ther. to enforce the law against ex
pectoration in the streets.
Declaring that tile beauty of the
city is greatly marred by the lack of a
restrictive building line, so that vis
itors criticise caustically the un
sightliness of the streets the federa
tion asks the passage of an ordinance
regulating the. building line throughout
Atlanta.
Want Sanitary Fountains.
To suppress the “mosquito nuisance"
the resolutions request council to have
oil poured upon every lake and pond
ir. the city ami they cTll for an ordi
nance that will prohibit the hitching
of horses near shade trees.
Sanitary drinking fountains are urg
ed for the convenience of strangers at
the various railroad stations.
The resolutions, signed by Mrs. l-'red
1.. Seely. Mrs. William L. Percy and
Mrs. James Jackson, as the officials
of the federation, were transmitted not
only to council' directly, but to the park
board and the chamber of commerce.
WAITERS’ STRIKE
HITS N. T. HARD
NEW YORK, May 31.—Hotel men
who expected to crush easily the wai
ters strike in this city admitted today
their employees had gained the upper
hand and appealed to the police for
protection of their hostelries.
The situation has become much more
serious during the last 24 hours and
the strike leaders, encouraged by their
success here, asserted that they would
make the walkout country wide. This,
it is declared, embodied a threat that
a strike would be called in Chicago
during the Republican convention and
in Baltimore while the Democrats are
meeting there. Hundreds of cooks hav
struck in sympathy with the waiters.
Over 2.000 employees are now out.
Hotel managers are making frenzied
efforts to get strike-breakers and 225
negroes already have been imported
from the South, coming from Hot
Springs, Va-., and Palm Beach Fla.
Bell boys and porters have been press
ed into service and all of the affected
hotels are maintaining a dining room
service, though badly crippled..
The strike was in full swing today
at ten of the most luxurious hotels of
the city. The number of men out were:
Hotel Astor, 350: Plaza, 200; St. Regis,
150; Gotham, 150; Belmont. 125: Bres
lin. 75; Waldorf-Astoria, 350; Knick
erbocker, 225; Imperial, 225: Prince
George. 250. Waiters and cooks were
out also at Rector's, Louis Martin's
and the Elks club.
Edward Blochlinger. financial secre
tary of the Internationa] Hotel Work
ers union, today threatened to call out
all the waiters in the cheaper restau
rants as well.
“We are fighting the hotel men to
the last ditch and we are going to win
if we call out every waiter in tlie

The Journal of Commerce says condi- ;
lions during the past month have been '

The season is very late, with considerable I
replanting necessary. Excessive rains I

m Arkansas estimates of percentage con
dition run rather low, but the weal her

ble weather has greatly improved pros
peets, but many localities report low per

age reductions range from 5 to 10 per
cent.
NEW ORLEANS. May 31. —Hayward &

"We have never seen the crop looking
better at this season of the year, and the

the agricultural department will issue its
cotton crop condition report. Under the
circumstances, the volume of contract
trading has shrunk almost to an irreduci
ble level. Ixically the May position showed
no strength. It was traded In at the
opening at a decline of 14 points under
Wednesday’s close, whereas July opened
unchanged. Liverpool reflected more con
fidence in the future of the market than
low price men on this side expected.
The weather continues good, and the
trade is more inclined than ever to look
for a relatively high condition figure on
Tuesday next. Nobody expects the gov
ernment bulletin to show as high a. con
dition as last year or as low a condition
as appeared probable several weeks ago.
As yet.opinion has not crystallized, though
the figure 80 is heard mentioned most
often.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, May 31.—The Journal
of Commerce gives an unfavorable report
on Arkansas and Tennessee. The word
ing of the report clearly shows the pes
simism which existed during the wet
spell. The reports wind up by saying
that there has been a great improve
ment during the recent good weather.
Liverpool Is closed today and tomor
row
The weather map continues to show
perfect conditions. No excessive temper
atures anywhere. Cloudy In west Texas
and Oklahoma; partly cloudy in east Tex
as; fair in the rest of the belt. No rain.
Prospects are for cloudy and cooler
weather, probably unsettled, with show
ers in the northwestern quarter, increas
ing cloudiness in east Texas and central
states, and fair In the Atlantics.
Norden & Co. make condition 78, with
a decrease in acreage of 7 per cent.
Our market opened about unchanged,
and held well around these prices, with
trading small. Anticipation of a low bu
reau condition publication on Tuesday
next Is the cause of the steadiness in
face of the good weather and still better
prospects. .
The unfavorable.reports of The Journal
of Commerce show that the first condi
tion reports were made during a period
of general pessimism, and the trade
looks for a bureau around 75. some fear
ing that it may be as low as around 70.
We compare with 87.8 last year, 79.7 in
1908 and a ten-year average of 81.5.

CHICAGO, May 31. —Wheat showed
some strength at the opening and was
about %c higher, which, drew out liberal
offerings, and a decline of % to l%c was
soon in evidence. Threatening rains in
sections of Kansas, where most needed, a
collapse of the May deal in Liverpool and
increased offerings in all the markets
were the leading influences.
Corn was %c lower to unchanged.
Oats unchanged to %c lower.
There was little excitement in any of
tlie pits during the morning and the like
lihood is that there will be an absence of
fireworks in any of the May grain fu
tures.
Provisions were slow and a shade
easier, although hogs were 5c higher at
the yards.
While May wheat closed time and
showed a loss of 2%c for the day, there
was wild excitement in the May corn
market, yet ft sold between 78%c and
80%c, and closed %c lower at 80c. There
was a big trade in the May corn with
shorts rushing around to cover even after
the tap of the bell. July wheat closed
nearly %c lower at sl.lO to $1.10%, and
September was off about. %c to $1.06.
May oats weer off 2%c and July lost
%c and September was %c lower.
Provisions closed irregular.

R. R. COMMISSION TO
DECIDE IF IT CAN ACT
ON CREDITOR’S CLAIM
The state railroad commission has
been called upon to decide whether or
not it has power to act as judge be
tween creditor and debtor, wheh both
creditor and debtor are corporations
bonded under the commission’s ap
proval.
The case, the first of its kind ever ap
pealed to the commission, was brought
by the American Bank Note Company
and involves an old prtining debt of
$7,000 said to have been contracted by
the old North Georgia Electric Com
pany, lately absorbed by the Georgia
Bower Company and later by the Geor
gia Railway and Power Company.
When the Blue Ridge Electric Com
pany took over the North Georgia Elec
tric Company the debt was assumed
and later when bonds were approved
by the railroad commission it was spe
cifically stated that $7,000 in bonds
were to be used to liquidate the debt.
This arrangement followed dqwn
through the various mergers.
The American Bank Note Company
maintained that the debt has not been
paid and has called upon the commis
sion to enforce its payment on tht
ground that the commission approvec
certain bonds for that specific purpose
