SENATE IGNORES |
ML PROTEST!
Defies England and Refuses to
Strike From Bilil Right of
Free Toll to Americans.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 8. —The United
States senate defi d Great Britain in
her Panama canal protest when, by a
vote of 44 to 11, about midnight last
night it refused to strike from the Pan
ama canal bill the provision exempting!
American ships from payment of tolls!
for passage through the Panama canal. ,
The defeat of the Button amendment '
to strike out the discrimination in fa- i
■o'- of American ships was the senate’s
answer tn the protest of Great Britain
against the legislation. It was this:
clause of the bill which led Great I
Britain to send a formal protest to the !
state department.
The failure of the amendment means i
that th- piovision wiU be kept in the
bill. The only senators to vote for the j
Burton amendment were Brandegee. I
Burton, Crane, Pall. Gronna. Lodge,
Nelson, Oliver. Penrose, Root and Wet-|
more.
The vote was reached at 11:30 p. m.. i
following eleven and a half hours of i
debate.
Hoke Smith's Amendment Accepted.
The senate also adopted an amend-!
ment offered by Senator Hake Smith, i
of Georgia, providing that the only '
ships to he exempted from tolls were !
those engaged "exclusively" in the |
coastwise trade. This would bar ships |
which engage partly in the foreign
trade and arb thus brought ih competi
tion with foreign ships.
He added a provision that such ships
when exempted fiom the payment of
tolls should relieve the government
from all liability for damage to ship,
passengers and crew while passing
through the canal.
As first introduced, the amendmen
would have required American coast
wise ships to pay the actual expense <»f
this passage, but Senator Bristow ob
jected that if the cost of operating the
■ anal was $3,500,000 a ycal . and on|y >
one ship went through, its tolls would
be $3,500,000.

Legislators Are Overfed. But Happy
500 AT SLATON'S 'CUE
Members of the senate and house
walked slowly and painfully into their
halls today and sank heavily into their
seats. They wore an air of placid sat
isfaction. of absolute indifference to
whether taxes were raised or lowered,
whether their pet bills were passed or
not. They didn't have spunk enough to
rise to a point of order. They wouldn't
rise to anything.
For it was the day after the barbecue
given by John M. Slaton, president of
the senate: “Jack” Slaton, lawmaker for
17 years; J. M. Slaton, Atlanta citi
zen: but NOT John Marshall Slaton,
candidate for governor. That was clear
ly understood.
It is appalling to reflect upon what a
terrific chance Mr Slaton took, now
that all is safely over. The average
consumption of barbecue per membei
was one and three-quarters pounds,
with a pound <>f Brunswick stew and a
loaf of bread as side fixings. Then there
were lemonade and things. Suppose
there had been permitted to creep into
that barbecue an ingredient not just
right; suppose some crafty foeman had
inserted into that savory sauce a pow
der calculated to produce cholera mor
bus, cholera infantum or kindred af
fections of the department of the inte
rior! Suppose those s<lo men of influ
ence had awakened in the night with

HOUSTON COUNTY SHOWS
LOSSES IN TAX RETURNS
PERRY. GA., Aug. B.—Tax Receiver
J. F. Scarborough has completed the
Houston county tax digest for 1912.
There are returned for taxation 344.746
acres of land, valued at $1,863,725. being
a loss in valuation from 1911 of $18,433.
The total value of all property re
turned is $3,947,037, this being a loss of
$83,610 from 1911. There is returned
2.975 polls, against 3,270 in 1911: and
948 dogs, against 1.245 in 1911.
wild cries for doctors and ambulances
and favorite pastors! They would have
blamed it all on Jack Slaton's barbe
cue, and the whole state would have
arisen in arms against him. He would
have polled only the doctors' votes.
But every thing's all right. The feast
ers of yesterday have that happiness to
day which comes only after a feast
where too much was a plenty and no
more. They may be lacking in appe
tite. but they are full of appreciation.
Surely bread and beef was never cast
upon the waters with greater certainty
of return in the form of ballots.
But Mr. Slaton was careful to say he
didn't give his 'cue as a campaign prop
osition. When Mr. Upshaw, of Doug
las county, was lifted to a barrel by
his friends to thank the host' for the
feast, hij pledged to the candidate the
votes of all present. But Mr. Slaton
smiling upon the assemblage, absolved
them from the promise of their spokes
man. and said the pledge needn't count.
"I’ve been giving these barbecues for
seventeen years," he said. "This will
be my last year in the legislature, and
Mrs. Slaton said 1 just mustn’t cut it
out this summer. If I can feel that
you and 1 are just personal friends, Ir
respective of politics, the purpose of
this barbecue is more than accom
plished.”

Wife of Heir to Duke of West
minster Finds Comfort and
Rest in Roaming Life.
LONDON. Aug. 8. -Lady Arthur Gros
venor. in whose remote ancestors Ro
many hioed must have coursed, has gone
a-gypsying again, this time far afield.
And many aristocratic and wealthy
omen are following her admirable ex
ample. “Caravanning” has become more
than a fa<l and, which is rare, a most
healthy fad.
Almost certainly the fad will spread
to America, where so man\ women de
light in the charms of the open country,
feel the enticement of green lanes and
by-ways and yearn to lose themselves and
their arduous social duties away from
the beaten paths.
Lady Arthur Grosvenor, whose husband
is heir presumptive to the duchy of West
minster. has started a-gypsying from her
home. Broxton Hall. Cheshire. A Leeds
firm built for her two light caravans,
which her horses can draw twenty miles
a day. Her three children accompany her,
Robert Arthur, seventeen 'ears old; Con-
■ stance, twelve, and Barbara, eleven.
Journeying as she pleases, halting
• where she likes, free from all care
■ about hotels and luggage, Lady Arthur
I will ship her “land yachts" to Bordeaux.
( and with hei children will proceed in
I them at a most leisurely nace through the
south of France. There they will visit
tlve hunting chateau which the Puke of
Westminster maintains.
So the aristocratic gypsy will have
new opportunity to indulge her fondness
for gathering the legends and folklore
of the regions through which she trav
els. Naturally musical, possessing .a good
voice, Lady Arthur illumines and vivifies
gypsy songs which she learned direct
I from those to whom they have come down
from generations of wandering country
men.
As everybody knows. Lady Arthur, call
ing herself “Syeira Lee. licensed hawker.’’
has passed several seasons in caravan
ning where she pleased in England, while
she peddled baskets and collected songs,
Romany legends and old pewter, copper
and brass.

ATLANTA POLICE HAVE
NO CHANCE FOR GRAFT
SYSTEM, SAYS CHIEF
"Could the Rosenthal murder happen
in Atlanta?"
Chief J. L. Beavers, of the Atlanta
police force, leaned back in his ehair
and smiled.
"It s of course possible for a band of
assassins to organize, lay in wait for a
man, shoot him and even obtain tem
porary freedom, but if you mean to ask
whether the series of circumstances
which led to the Rosenthal murder
■ ould exist in Atlanta—l say no. em
phatically.”
The chief gave several reasons.
"In the New York department, if my
information is correct, the system of
protection to criminals which brought
about the Rosenthal shooting was able
to live on account of three things- a
false idea of loyalty which made honest
officers protect those who were not
honest; secrecy of police records, and
the extension of favors to criminals
who might be useful. None of these
exists or could exist in the Atlanta po
lice force."
Protection Couldn’t Exist Here.
The Rosenthal sensation grows big
ger with each passing day. After the
gambler's death In front of the Metro
pole revelations came thick and fast.
Finally Lieutenant Becker, of thq po
lice department, was arrested and then
came to light the story of the "system’
which had enabled a man only l«o de
grees removed from an ordinary police
man to build up a graft institution
feudal in its power.
“I should say." declared Chief Beav
ers. "that protection could not exist in
Atlanta primarily because there Is
nothing to protect. There is no gam
bling here to speak of but if there
should be and an officer would attempt
