Editor Atlanta Georgian:

an ex-convict. Wood t'amplioll.
wherein you say:
“Campbell was pardoned by Gov

Statement Is Incorrect.
•This statement Is entirely Incor
rect. In my first term as governor
the prison commission tecommend
ed ihat Campbell be commuted to
present service.
I examined into the case, "and,
finding that Campbell had brutally
killed a fellow man, I declined to
approve the recommendation of the
prison commission.
After Governor Smith came into
office he commuted Campbell's sen
tence from twenty yetrrs to five.
The five years expired, I am in
f ’med, about a month ago. and
Campbell is now free through Gov
erne: Smith's action.
I will add that I have been re

abilities. so as to restore his citi

Inasmuch as lie had forfeited his

Education Board Head Calls
G. H. S. Building Unworthy
of Pupils Who Go There.
It's vacation time today for 132sw»et
girl graduates of the high School.
"We must outlive the narrow and
antiquated sentiment of woman's low
standing professionally. When women
do the same high-class work that men
do they should be paid equally well,'
said Colonel Walter R. Daley, presi
dent of the board of education, in de
livering diplomas to the graduates.
"The teachers in the city high schools
should be paid upon a basis of merit
and not of sex. I advocate an imme
diate readjustment of the scale of sal
ary, one that shall he fair to the teach
er who is doing the work and I intend
to work for this as long as I am con
nected with the board of education or
have any influence at all In school af
fairs.
“Today the faculty of the Girls High
school is receiving n most inadequate
compensation. The work they do in
.educating the young women of Atlanta
is certainly as hard and certainly as
important as that done by the male
teachers in the Boys High school, and
yet because the faculty of the Girls
High school is composed of women they
receive an average salary fai below
that of teachers in the Boys High
school, who arc men.
Urges New Building For Girls.
"The present building in which the
.voting women of Atlanta are educated
is n monstrosity and I advocate an im
mediate issue of bonds for schools alone
-o that we may holtse these girls in a
building that will be worthy of the pu
pils it contains."

TALLULAH FALLS
CAMPAIGN ISSDE
Conservation Advocates Plan
to Bring Out Candidate for
Governorship.
! There was a persistent and seeming
ly authoritative rumor abroad in At-
■ lanta today that the Tallulah Falls
•conservation advocates are seriously
considering the idea of bringing out a
candidate for governor upon a definite
platform’ of conservation, for the pur
pose of putting the question squarely
ami intelligently up to the people of
Georgia.
Already a petition for incorporation
has been filed in the superior court of
Hall county on behalf of the Tajlulah
Falls Conservation and Parking asso
cia t ion.
The petitioners, headed by Mrs. Hel
en Dortch Longstreet, number some
.1.00(1 people, representing every county
in the state.
That Mrs. Longstreet Is in deadly
earnest in this matter of conserving
Tallulah is not doubted by any one.
She says that her death alone can pre
vent suit being brought to test the
titles to the land and waterways noyv
held by the power company proposing
to develop them.
Mi,?. Longstreet and a number of her
associates are reported to have held
various consultations recently. In which
it was decided that the bringing of
suit alone will not be protest of suf
ficient magnitude to meet the desires of
the Tallulah enthusiasts, as the matter
now stands, and that nothing short of
referring the question to the entire
state, under cloak of a staunch Tallu
la hite's candidacy for the chief magis
traey. will do. It is said that definite
plans have been started to bring forth
such a candidate.
This interesting rumor, coming right
on the heels of Thomas G. Hudson's re
tirement from the governor's race, and
while the question of other candidates
is yet much in the air. has started a
good many politicians to speculating
a fid wondering If. after all, Georgia is to
have a hot gubernatorial campaign on
its bands this summer.

RAIL HATE RAISES
HELD UP SO DAYS
■ Shippers Fight for Four-Month
Suspension Despite Roads’
Peace Offering.
Southern shippers have drawn first
blood in their tight for the suspension
of the Southern Classification No. 39.
the new schedules ordered into effect on
June 17.
The railways' classification commit
tee today announced the roads would
. suspend voluntarily for 60 days the new
schedules.
The petition of Southern railroad
commissioners and Southern trade
bodies recently drawn at a meeting
here and presented to the interstate
commerce commission still is to be act
ed upon. This petition asks for sus
pension of 120 days until the new class
ification. said to contain numerous in
creases in freight rates can be exam
ined. j|
The action of the railtoads means
the docket for complaints on the new
schedules will be closed on June 22,
which gives only two weeks to study
the. classifications, not withstanding the
fact that the suspension on its face is
for 60 days.
For this reason it is likely the rail
road commissioners will continue to
fight for a 120-day suspension, with
every indication of success.
38 ALIENS TO BE MADE

sence of Judge W. T. Newman, who will

A special examiner from Washington
will be present to aid Clerk Robert C.
Fuller in the task of giving the final
rights of citizenship to the aliens, most

Councilmen Seeking Charter
Amendment Have Clayton
and Goldsmith in Mind.
That the real object of the movement'
to give city council power to remove
officials yvas the retirement on half pay
of Chief of Construction R. M. Clayton
and Comptroller J. H. Goldsmith, two
of the oldest officials of the city, was
definitely learned today.
Clayton and Goldsmith have served
in most important capacities for about
30 years and both are candidates for
re-election without, opposition. The
salary of Captain Clayton is $4,000 and
of Mr. Goldsmith $3,000.
The ordinance was framed b.' the or
dinance committer- of council and was
to have been passed at the last meet
ing. Rut it was too broad in its scope.
It gave council the authority to retire
the mayor or any other official, elective
or appointive, at any time by a two
thirds vote. Objections were imme
diately registered and It is now ,being
revised by the charier amendments
