GEORGIA IS NEAR 5750,000 DEFICIT Extra Session of Legislature to Straighten the State’s Finan cial Tangles Is Probable. The probability of an extra session of the general assembly to straighten out Georgia’s finances is becoming more apparent each day. Unless the legis lators recognize the true condition of the state’s treasury Georgia shortly will be facing a deficit of three-quarters of a million. In the face of the fact that the legis lature is slashing the income to rib bons and at the same time piling up appropriations, county tax returns thus far received by the comptroller general are showing a decrease over the figures of 1912. Brooks county shows a decrease for the first time in eleven years, attribut ing the falling off in values to an epi demic of hog cholera which has swept the county. Johnson county indicates a falling in values for the first time In a decade, and fails to return a single dog for taxation. The same situation is true in a score of counties. The situation as ’summed up by Comptroller General Wright is: Cutting Down Revenues. “According to statements made on the floor of the house, the present de ficit is $350,000. The enactment of the Tippins bill will increase that deficit by $250,000, making the total $600,000. To this must be added the special ap propriations to be made by the legisla ture, amounting to $120,000, bringing the total to $720,000.” The comptroller general’s summary is made without consideration of the possibility of the repeal of the dog tax as contemplated by the Oliver bill or the senate’s approval of the farmers’ free list bill passed the house on Thurs day. Both of these measures will cut into revenue enormously. In the face of this the house has turned down the Ashley tax increase, intimating a magnificent disregard for school teachers, who thus far have re ceived but twelve per cent of their sal aries for 1912. Only by dint of careful expenditure has Treasurer Wright cor ralled enough cash to pay off the legis lators at adjournment. NOT THIS MITCHELL. Eugene M. Mitchell, attorney in the Peters building, asked The Georgian to .state today that he is not the E. M. Mitch el! who signed the call for the Bull Moose convention In Atlanta. Mr. Mitchell is still u rock-bound Democrat. Behind the bars in the police station pending arrangement of bond. GUARD PROTECTS WITNESS FROM GANGSTERS Threats Make Investigator?

The tightening of the chain of evi dence around the accused men Is said to have stirred their lawless associates to such a point of desperation that It Is believed there is very real cause to guard against another outbreak of vio lence. Two detectives are guarding Kreso today. They were detailed to watch over the witness by Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty. The arrest of “Sullivan,” whose real name Is J a ‘ cob A. Reich, and the final commitment of Webber were primarily due to Krese’s evidence before the coroner From information that has reached Dougherty he fears that an attempt will be made to kill Krese, so as to eliminate him as a witness.

These men will stay with Krese as long as ths witness' life is considered in danger, and will accompany him back and forth between his home, his work and polic< headquarters and the district attorney office.
