INTEREST PAID ON SAVINGS. 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 ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: EK ID AY, MAY 31, 1912.

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. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS. WASHINGTON.

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.

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.

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 MOB SEEKS FARMER; DROVE INTO BAND IN MEMORIAL PARADE MASSILLON, OHIO, May 31. —Because of lynch threats.
