itiL ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS FRIDAY. JULY 12. IMI2,
SENATE FHOBE OF
FIGHT IS DELAYED
Committee Not Certain It Has
Jurisdiction to Conduct Still-
Byrd-Lyon Hearing,
The senate committee which arraigned
Luther H Still. Charles P Byrd and
Thomas Lyon this afternoon on a charge
of fighting in the senate chamber last
Wednesday, adjourned the hearing at 1:30
o’clock until next Monday afternoon, and
in the meantime will decide whether it has
jurisdiction in the case.
Still, president of ths Typographical
union, appeared in the senate chamber
with both eyes almost concealed under
swollen flesh, caused by the blows given
him by Lyon. He was represented by
Frank Hughes, attorney, who maintained
that the senate had no actual jurisdiction
in the matter, as the fight, had Occurred
after both senate and committee had ad
journed; that there was no contempt of
that august body shown, and it was a
matter for the state courts to decide.
Byrd and Lt on were represented by
Robert B. Blackburn, who insisted that
the senate committee hear the case, as
serting that the mere fact that one of
the defendants appeared before the com
mittee with brass knucks in his posses
sion constituted a breach of decorum and
courtesy toward the s£pate.
One Witness Testifies.
The committee. President John M. Sla
ton presiding, ruled that it would take
the question of its jurisdiction under ad
visement and reopen the hearing Monday,
upon the adjournment of the senate. It
consented to hear one witness, W O.
Foote, who could not. be, present next
week.
Foote said that Byrd had approached
Still and warned him not to make "any
more personal remarks." with the threat
to "knock his head off." He had heard
no profane or obscene remarks. He tes
tified that Still had the brass knucks.
which he dropped on the floor, and that
Lyon had picked them up and attacked
Still
The hearing was the outgrow’th of an
altercation among the three which arose
from Still's charges that the Byrd com
pany had robbed the state in its print
ing contracts. It occurred on the floor of
the senate chamber, just after the ad
journment of the committee had had con
sidered a new state printing bill.
MOONSHINE KING
OF NORTH GEORGIA
MIXES LAST MASH
CUMMING, GA.. July 12.—-Old La
fayette Larmon, the moonshine king of
the north Georgia mountains, has mixed
his last mash. Friends found his body
in Daves creek, six miles from Cum
ming. drowned in his wagon. A dozen
jugs of mountain dew in the wagon
bed told the story of old Lafe's last
running of the revenue blockade. He
had been caught, by the flood on the
way from his still to market.
Lase Larmon was 75 years old, but
his blue eyes, were just as keen as
when he followed the flag in the 60's,
and in his hands the six-foot squirrel
rifle held just as steady a bead. The
revenue officers were never anxious to
trail the old man into his' den, and
though his stills had been broken up
again and again old Lase retained his
freedom and kept on turning corn into
white liquor. He had the stern re
ligion of tlie Georgia mountaineer, de
scendents of the Roundheads, and was
a regular attendant at the church his
father had helped to build. But he
maintained the right of a free-born
citizen to use his own corn for meal or
whisky as he saw fit, and lie refused
to admit that the government had any
right to interfere. He had been
"moonshining" for 5o years.
Daves creek was swollen by the
heavy rains and old Lase must have
.misjudged the depth at the ford, for
he drove his mule into water six feet
deep. 1 'aught in the. harness, the. mule
was swept down stream and drowned,
and the old man evidently made no at
tempt to leave the wagon and swim out.
Friends found him and the mule dead
together, washed against the.bank, with
jugs of moonshine, tightly corked with
corncobs, floating by the old man's
side.
AMERICUS POWER CO.
REQUESTS CONTINUED
MONOPOLY OF TRADE
R L Maynard and A M Walker, at
torneys for the Americus Gas and Elec
tric Company, blandly requested the state
railroad commission today to give, their
company the lighting and power monopoly
in Americus.
The unusual request, which has been
taken under advisement by the commis
sion but doubtless will be denied, was
made when the lawyers appeared to pro
test against a petition of the Americus
Power Company asking the commission
for approval of a $50,000 stock Issue
The Americus Power Company is a re
cently formed organization growing out of
the fight between the municipal authori
ties of Americus and the Americus Gas
and Electric Company over the capitaliza
tion of the latter.
Tlie attorneys told the commission that
there was no necessity for such a plant
-as the gas-electric company was sup
plying the needs of the people of Amer
icus and vicinity without, trouble and

NEW YORK. July 12.—With strong-
Liverpool cables the cotton market start
ed the day off showing irregularity, with
near positions 2 to 9 points better, iatri
i positions were unchanged to 3 points,
lower. \fter the first few minutes cf
I trading large orders were thrown upon

| below rhe first figures. The weather map:
reported weather generally cloudy with
light showers over the eastern belt, with I
; indications, for increasing cloudiness in i
i west Texas with probable shower*.
I In the afternoon session the selling
i movement which prevailed upon the mar- '
I ket in the early hading seemed to check, ,
I sortie buying being done on the temper- '
Mature in Texas and. Oklahoma. There |
I was a fair demand for old crop positions I
:by some < the leading spot interests. -
■ with an absence of new crop offerings. ;
j This and th/* strong demand by spot peo- .
! pie had a stimulating effect upon the ••
market, later m th#- afternoon trading'
prices made au upward movement, carry- '
ing quotations back toward the opening. :
This turn in prices was believed to be i
caused by the bullish spinners’ takings j
for the week, which show an increase of j
92.000 bales over the same week last year. ■
Tn the last hour of trading the market ;
developed a firm tone, with prices making 1
a turn for higher levels, carrying quota-'

caused a firm tone in the stock market
at the opening today. Reading made
about the best gain, opening Lfe higher at

ber of stocks tliat made gains, however,
there were recessions which carried off
part of the early gains. This was nota
bly so in Steel.

CHICAGO. July 12.—Wheat was with
out much change. September ruling a.
shade better, while December was a small
fraction lower at the opening of the mar
ket this morning.
Corn was fractionally better on smaller
offerings in the pit, and a decrease in the
Argentine visible, although shipments
from there were more liberal.
Oats were steady, a shade lower.
Provisions were without change.
Wheat was strong throughout today's
session, final prices showing gains of l%c
all around. Reports of the rust in the
Northwest and disappointment in the
Southwest were the strengthening factors
Corn closed with prices ranging from
unchanged to %c better. The feature
was the strength in September and the
heavy buying of that option by a well
known bull.
Oats were sharply higher with prices
ranging from % to 2%c better. The mar
ket trailed the other grains.
Provisions were lower all around.
