WASHINGTON. July 20.—Extrava gance, waste and possible fraud are the points of criticism made in the report of the house committee on expendi tures hi public buildings which has jus’ been submitted to the house. The lonimittec says it went into the build ing department probe without any plan to fli'iover any scandal.

"there will, be 1,520 public build ings inside of fifteen years." The cost of maintenance alone will be $11,000,000 annually. Ihe office of the supervising archi tect of the treasury is criticised. This "thee is maintained at an annual cost "f $3,000,000. It has had no definite folicy, the committee finds, and blame is attached to former Supervising Ar chitect James Knox Taylor for some mistakes discovered. I he committee urges congressmen be zealous in efforts to get public buildings for their districts and reeom ""-nds legislation making it illegal to erect a public building in any city less ran 5.000 inhabitants or whose post effiee takes in less than SIO,OOO annual ' Ihe practice of employing outside 1' hitects is condemned.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY. JULY 20. 1912. COTTON MEN ffl REFORMS ABROAD Changes in Methods of Arbi trating Claims Urged in Res olutions at Conference. NEW YORK. July 20.—At a meeting of representatives of 41 cotton ex changes of the country at the New Yoik Cotton Exchange here a change in present methods tu=ed by foreign cotton exchanges in aroitrating claims growing out of cotton shipments abroad, looking to more equitable treatment of American interests, was strongly rec ommended. Resolutions were adopted setting forth the i eforms desired by the Ameri can cotton exchanges, and these reso lutions were sent to the Liverpool Cot ton association and to the Bremen anti Havre cotton exchanges for considera tion. George W. Neville, president of the New York Cotton Exchange, who is to sail for Europe next week, was au thorized to use his efforts while abroad to bring about a conference of all Eu ropean and American exchanges early in 1913 in an endeavor to arrive at some working agreement in time for the crop of 1913-14. The resolutions regarding the pro posed reforms in arbitration follow: Want Experts on Committees. That Liverpool, Bremen and Havre arbitration appeal committees, to be composed of salaried employees of such exchanges, who shall be expert cotton classers. shall give their entire time to such work and have no other interest in any way connected with cotton. Unless otherwise stipulated in the contract, arbitration on quality should be conducted on the basis of official differences ruling in the respective re ceiving markets on the dates of sale. Application for arbitration to be dated and sealed, arbitration samples sent to arbitration committee within ten days of last date of landing. An arbitration must be held within twenty days of the date of application. That Havre be requested to adopt the Liverpool and Bremen method of du plicate sealed samples. That present ruling of allowing three points for dif ferences between American uncom pressed samples and foreign redrawn compressed samples be changed to an allowance of one-quarter of middling and above, and one-half grade on grades below middling: same to be de ducted from any award made and not tb be considered in making the award. Standardization Asked. We recommend that all cotton in terests work toward the standardiza tion of classification Os American cot ton of ail growths, which shall be world-wide. That in all cases when any ship ments are tared by the receiver, if uo excess tare is established, all taring charges must he paid by the receiver, including the seller's supervision ex penses. That examination of bales for excess tare must be conducted at the time of weighing said bales, and that in weighing the tare allowance must he made for any moisture therein That where cotton is armttated arc’ penalties assessed in addition to the grade differences the seller shall have the option of accepting rejection and replacing in receiving markets within markets which quality sold. The shipper shall not be required to pay any arbitration fees except where ihe allowances exceed double th' amount of such fees. Up and Doion Peachtree Recorder Broyles Does Hat Marathon. These summer blasts, like time, tide and ticket takers, are no respecters of persons, as was well proven when Judge Broyles lost his lid in a gust that swept the street yesterday after noon. The new had scarcely worn from the hat when he fared forth Into the ele ments. It was firmly thatched of Cu ban straw and was surrounded by a lavender hand wjiich, while not loud, was not the judge's usual judicial col or. No doubt the fanciful breeze after blowing through flower beds ami scented parlors was taken with this gentle, appealing color. In any event, the hat was caught and swept up Peachtree, dancing here and there with an intelligence that seemed almost human. The broad sweep.of a blue dress almost stopped it. but it dodged to one side and continued its wild career. Meanwhile the judge was in hot pursuit, making frantic stabs with his umbrella. Leaving, the sidewalk, the lavender lid swept into the street. A burly ne gro was standing in the gutter. The hat i-olled against his feet and stopped. The negro looked down, and then looked back. Upon seeing Judge Broyles and the haste he was making, the ne gro let out a whoop and started up the street himself. He evidently was mis taken in the object of the judge’s chase. This and the memory of sev eral unpunished peccadillos gave him the legs of the wind—and. once more the lavender lid merrily rolled away. There is no telling what would have happened had not a small newsboy joined the chase. His arms being a lit tle nearer the ground than the judge's, he was able by means of a swift de tour and a sudden dip to rescue the hat just as it was going into the side entrance of the Piedmont hotel. The ,bat today looks chipper as ever and the same appealing lavender is there un faded. There is some talk, however, of hav ing charges preferred against the judge for exceeding the speed limit.
