New Cotton Scheme Is Turned Down By Southern Governors Most of Them Won t Come to George Dole Wadley’s Congress, Although Invited by Brown. The Southern Cotton congress, sched uled for Atlanta on Friday and called by Governor Brown at the solicitation of James Dole Wadley, representing various Georgia cotton factors, has not provoked enthusiasm. Governor Brown said today that but one governor, William H. .Mann, of Vir ginia. out of the fourteen invited had signified his intention of attending. Governor Brown has received answers from eleven Southern governors, and out of that number only Governor Mann will be present. The states of Louisi ana and South Carolina have not an swered the invitations. The governor said today that he hesi tated for several weeks before calling the governors together to discuss a scheme to hold cotton for a better price. Ho told Wadley, who opport lined him to act, that he was not sure but that such a scheme would be in violation to the Sherman anti-trust law. Wadley informed the governor that this matter had been thrashed out by attorneys and the cotton factors had been informed that it was legitimate. DON’T GET CAUGHT IF YOU TAKE A SHOT AT GAME OUT OF SEASON According to the state court of ap peals, a hunter, under the provision of tihe game law of 1911, is not necessarily a person dressed in fashionable hunt ing garb and spending leisure time after game. Any person who tak> s a chance shot at game is hunting and is a hunter and if the chance shot be taken out <>f sea son this hunter is guilty of a violation of the game law. James Robinson was hauling cotton in a field in Worth county last summer and. having a shotgun with him. let fly at a covey of quail. Robinson was a poor shot and missed the birds, but he was fined for violating the game law just the same. Now, the court says that Robinson's fine must stick. CONG. BELL SAYS HE'LL RUN FOR RE-ELECTION WASHINGTON, July 1" - man Thomas M. Bell, of the Ninth Georgia district, announced here today that he is a candidate fur iu-vietliun. ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY. JULY 10, 1912. U.S.H LOSE TWO 810 TRACK EVENTS Englishman Takes the 1,500- Meter Race and Finn Wins 5.000-Meter Run. YANKEES TAKE ALL PLACES IN SHOT-PUT Stars Touted as Sure Winners Make Poor Showing—New Weight-Tossing Record. By MICHAEL J. MURPHY, (Trainer of the American Olympic Team.) STOCKHOLM, July 10.—-America to j 'lay lost two of the most important I running events of the international i Olympic games—the finals in the 1,500- l meter race and in the 5,000-meter run. I However, defeat was tempered by the I victory in the sixteen-pound shot put, I when P. J. McDonald, a New York po i’.iceman, b-oke the. Olympic record by : ’lulling the iron ball over 50 feet. All he Yankee athletes,taking part in the I 100-meter race qualified for the semi finals. A. N S. Jackson, of England, won the final in the 1,500-meter event. His time was 3 minutes 53 4-5 seconds, beating the Olympic record by 3 3-5 seconds. Abel Kiyiat, of Q. A. A. C.. who was second, ran a good race, but 'he could not overtake, the speedy 'Jackson. Norman S. Tabor, of Brown university, was third. The showing of John Paul Jones, of Cornell university, was a distinct disappointment. Jones had been touted as a winner. H. Kolehmainen, the speedy Finnish runner, captured the 5,000-meter final. His time was 14 minutes 36 3-5 sec onds. The Americans who cheered so lusti ly at the conclusion of the shot put were silent when the winners of the 1,500 and 5,000-meter finals were an nounced. Jackson is a young Oxford university student. He ran a steady race up to the stretch, where within 100 yards of the finish he made a spur' which carried him to the front. Sheppard, whose position was next to the pole, drew ahead at the start, but could not stand the terrific pace. At the second turn Von Siegel, a Ger man. took the lead away from the American. At this the wise ones in the stadium expressed the opinion that Sheppard was saving his strength for a spurt. On the third lap the German had to give way to Jones. A great cheer went up from the Americans as Jones flashed into first place, his- bared legs moving with the rapidity of pis tons. Four Americans Led Till Finish. At the third turn it looked as though the Americans had the race cinched. Abel Kiviat was running second to Jones, moving at an even, steady pave and apparently receiving his reserve force for the finish. Oscar Hedlund, mother American, was running well I the fron*. while Sheppard had dropped back to fourth place. Jackson and the 'balance were well bunched. Al the beginning of the first stretch the voting Englishman began to move 'up inch by inch. It was a splendid ■spectacle and one which thrilled the ■vast crowd. Running with set jaw and head thrown buck. Jackson maintained his gruelling pace. The Oxford man moved up among the leaders on the final turn. Jones spurted in an at tempt t<> forge ahead, Put Jackson siiot -ahead like a projectile and pushed over the tape Jackson's victory was clean-cut, but the fight for second and third places was so close that there was a squabble -among the judges. First it was an nounced that Norman S. Tabor, of ■Brown university, had finished second and John Paul Jones, of Cornell uni versity, third. Later this was re vel sod and Abel Kiviat. of America, ■was given second place and Tabor ■third. Some of the judges protested against this award, declaring that the confusion was too great to give a fair d eeision. it was then decided to wait until a photograph of the runners which had been taken as they flashed under thq W ire could be developed, fn the photo graph Tabor.

YEAR'S EFFORTS TO GET HIM PROVE SUCCESSFUL Pinkertons Start Tomorrow, and Extradition Papers Will Be Honored by Madero. After a year in prison in Mexico, defying extradition successfully be cause of the revolution that prevailed in the southern republic, J. Wylie Smith, the man who wrecked the Com mercial Loan and Trust Company of Atlanta by embezzling over $200,000, is to be brought back here for trial within the week. Ambassador Wilson in Mexico City notified the authorities today that the Madero government had given its con sent to the extradition. Pinkerton de tectives will leave this city tomorrow morning to bring Smith back from the frontier line at Juarez, where he is now confined. Trying For Year To Get Him Back. Ever since Smith fled the city last June he has been pursued by United States authorities and private detec tives representing the depositors in the bank he wrecked. When he was first arrested on the strength of an indict ment found against him here, the Mex ican government sent him to the prison at t. hihuahua, but they refused to rec ognize the extradition papers that offi cers took down there to return him for trial, because just about that time the Mexican government was very much broken up by the revolution. Since August the man was kept there in spite of every effort to bring about his extradition. The authorities at Washington were powerless; the best that could be done was an agreemejit with the Mexican government to hold the man in prison. Lately, since the Madero government has gotten the re volt under control, the case was taken up again by Ambassador Wilson. Mexico Finally Agrees to Give Him Up. Smith was removed from his first prison to Juarez, just across the line from El Paso, Texas, and negotiations for the honoring of the extradition pa pers were renewed. Ambassador Wil son announced the final success of his efforts in a telegram w hich reached At lanta today. It says that the requistion will not only be honored, but that the Mexicans will bring Smith to the bor der line prepared to turn him over to the American authorities as soon as the legal papers are presented. It is expected that Smith will be in Atlanta and jailed here awaiting trial within two weeks.

She is for women policemen, dance hall super vision, and the establishment of social centers in school houses. Miss Margaret Laing, Assist ant Probation Officer, Pro poses Radical Reforms. "The dance halls are perhaps our greatest trouble. They are part of the, girl problem.’ Dance hall inspectors are needed. * "A woman policeman or two would be a great thing for At lanta. They would find their field principally around some of the picture shows. "What to do with the girls Is the greatest puzzle. We have a county reformatory for bad boys, but there is no place for the girls. We need a reformatory for girls, and we must have it. "Converting the school houses into social centers would help a great deal. Why shouldn’t the people whose taxes build them en joy dances and games and enter tainments in them at night? Why should they remain Idle and dark except for a few hours every day?” Proposing women police for duty around picture shows and other places where young girls go and a super vision of Atlanta dance halls by city authorities, urging the use of public school buildings as social centers for dances and amusements of the neigh borhood. and stressing the need of a reformatory for wayward girls, Miss Margaret Laing, assistant probation officer of the juvenile court, told a re porter for The Georgian today that the girl problem was the most difficult of all those faced tiy the new tribunal. Miss Laing is no new-comer in the field of sociological work. For several years she was one of rhe skilled work ers of the Associated Charities, and she Joined the juvenile court more than a year ago. W. W. Tindall, chief proba tion officer, places great dependence upon her knowledge of human nature. Young Girls the Greatest Problem. "Yes. I think this work Is fine for a woman,” said Miss Laing, with a smile. "That is, if she is the right woman, of course it wouldn’t suit every woman But I like it. “You ask what's the great problem before us. it is 'girls.' Young girls around fourteen years old. We can't tell what to do with them when they’re wayward. We have no reformatory, you know, so we must turn them loose or send them to Milledgeville -the two extremes. "These dance halls are causing us a great deal of worry No. I can't sav they are conducted in a disorderly manner. But the city should provide an inspector for them and see that they are kept straight. “I believe a woman policeman could do a great deal to improve matters around the picture shows and dance halls. She could reach girls where a man couldn’t; could show them their dangers and persuade them to guard themselves. Poorer Girls Need ' More Amusement. "I don’t say the dance halls should be closed. The girls of the poorer classes have little enough to amuse them now. They need more pleasure not to be robbed of what they have. Oh, I wish the city itself could open a great amusement hall, with dancing and other pleasures, carefully super vised and kept under control. “The city will never do that, per haps, but it could open a dozen neigh borhood social centers in the school houses. Why couldn’t every' one of those schools in the suburbs and the poorer districts be brightly lighted at night and thrown open for dances among the boys and girls, the grown men and women of their neighborhood, with good chaperonage by the older persons? Don't you think the girls would rather dance there, wdth their friend®, than uptown at a public dance hall, w ith strangers? What chance has the. working girl to find amusement'’ She must go to the public dances and the picture shows. There’s nothing else for her.” THE RENT’PROBLEM’ IS AT LAST SOLVED Each one of you fully realize the trouble, worry and loss of time you have to contend with in trying to find the places and people you desire to get in touch with either to rent or the places you desire yourself.

PASSES BILL ■ > Referendum Clause Defeated by 92 to 81 After Hooper Alexander Explains. / ——•? AMENDMENTS KILLED IN QUICK SUCCESSION House Refuses to Grant Recess and the Measure Is Put Through With a Rush. The Tippins-Alexander bill to prohibit the sale of near-beer in Georgia was passed by the house of representatives this afternoon by the vote of 129 to 42. Every amendment was voted down, even 'he formidable referendum amend ment, designed to place the pro posed law before the people, I and thereby prevent Governor Brown’s keeping his campaign promise to veto any change in the prohibition law not first sub mitted to public vote. The bill now goes to the senate, which will very likely pass it, and Governor Brown is then expected to veto it. Bent on reaching a final yote, the house voted down a motion to take a recess, and proceeded to defeat every change urged in the antl-near-bear measure. The amendment to refer the law t« the people—the famous “referendum’ 1 amendment and the most formidable— was defeated late in the day by a vote of 92 to 81. It was evident that the house wae resolved to pass the Alexander substi tute to the bill and would have nc changes made In it. Randolph Anderson, of Chatham county, the principal opponent of the WU, led the debate in the house today, speaking vigorously for nearly an hoax The vote on the main question, the' bill itself, was begun shortly after f o’clock. Amendments Lost In Quick Succession. The voting began at 12:40 p. m. First up was the Pickett amendment, includ ing locker clubs in the terms of the bill. It was lost by a viva voce vote. The Taylor and Ault amendment, ex cepting medicines containing alcohol from the prohibitions of the measure, came next to ballot and this was also lost. Then the house began voting on the Brown amendment providing that the Tippins bill should not apply to towns of more than 5,000 inhabitants. This amendment went down to defeat with the rest. Finally the real fight began in the vote on the Adams amendment pro viding for a referendum. Hooper Alex ander, the champion of the original Tippins bill, explained his vote of "no” upon the referendum amendment, Alexander Would Like to Call a Bluff. "It’s a great temptation to me to call this referendum bluff that the op ponents of the bill are making," he said, "But the responsibility for this matter rests with the house. I don't believe that the house should shirk it and so I vote against the referendum clause.” Wilson, of Gwinnett, Opens Fight on Bill. The fight over the Tippins bill opened promptly after the disposition of a lot of routine matter in the house of rep resentatives this morning. At 10:30 o'clock Mr. Wilson, of Gwinnett, took up the cudgels in op position to the Tippins bill. Mr. Wilson said he hoped the gal leries would listen to him, as most of the spee< hes on the Tippins bill seemed to be addressed to the galleries. The gentleman from Gwinnett sajd he was
