[ML MEET FDR
U.S.MERCHANT
MARINE
"Ship Subsidy” Term Elimi
nated From Resolution as
Objectionable.
The Panama canal conference has
adjourned, but echoes of “merchant
marine” still remain. It was the desire
of the convention to keep its maiden
session free from politics and factions,
but vigorous support and as vigorous
opposition developed when the question
.[’ moving American commerce through
the Panama canal was opened.
An issue was forced at the afternoon
session yesterday when Samuel G.
Douglas, of Nashville, introduced a res
olution which he had been trying to
introduce for 40 hours. This called for
n rehabilitation of the American mer
chant marine by congress. The resolu
tion was passed after it had been shorn
of the objectionable term “ship sub
sidy.”
Glass Objects to Move.
The Douglas resolution got a "rise"
out of Frank P. Glass, editor of The
Birmingham News and The Montgom
ery Advertiser, who declared that "the
Southern people as a whole are opposed
to this resolution, and Southern con
gressmen will pay no attention to It If It
is passed.”
Mr. Glass' remarks brought a retort
from D. M. Stewart, of Chattanooga,
representing large manufacturing in
terests in the Tennessee city.
‘T fail to see the argument In Mr.
Glass’ statement,” he asserted. "I
thought we came here to talk business
and not politics, and if I had known I
was to get into a political convention 1
should not have come.”
John W. Porch and M. B. Trezevant,
of New Orleans; Leland Hume, of
Nashville, and G. B. Weatherly, of
Brunswick, spoke for the resolution.
President W. W. Finley, of the Southern
railway, opposed it on the ground that
this was not the time nor the place for
ft. He always had favored a merchant
marine, he declared.
Railroads Oppose Marine.
The merchant marine question is a
widely discussed one throughout the
United States and always leads to sharp
controversies. It generally is believed
that the railroads oppose it because the
extensive transportation of commercial
products by water might cut seriously
into land transportation business. Low
er freight rates and better and more
varied routes are wanted, however, by
the advocates of a merchant marine.
One of the delegates pointed out that
the United States government owned 99
er cent of the merchantmen at the
•pening of he Civil war, but that Ad
miral Satnmes and others of the Con
federate navy destroyed so many ships
that the country never has fully recov
ered. '
England, Germany and-other nations,
h declared, took advantage of this
period of commercial depression to get
the business of this country, and have
’1 ' since. He declared that there
■-■re.., present only nine freight-carry
ing ships sailing under the Federal flag.

SICK MOTHER NOT
TOLD SONjS DEAD
Parent Still Prays for Child Fa
tally Burned While Playing
Near Stove.
Desperately praying for the recovery
of her little four-year-old son, William,
who was burned to death last night,
Mrs. William C, Hogan lies at her home
today in such delicate health that she
can not be told of the death of the
baby.
Mrs. Hogan had been across the
street at 6 o'clock last night, and was
returning home when she saw her son
running from the rear of the building.
hi s body wrapped in flames. She shriek
ed, and Mrs. Davis, a next-door neigh
bor. rushed into the yatfd and held him
away from the ill and frantic mother,
who probably would have been burned
severely also if she had reached the
flames. Other neighbors boat out the
Are, and Mrs. Hogan was carried into
the hopse, prostrated.
The baby was rushed to Grady hos
pital, and died there a few minutes
afterward. His mother was placed un
der the care of a physician, and has not
been told of his death. She believes he
will recover.
It is thought the child caught lire
from the stove, near which he was play
ing when she left the house. The body
was removed to Bloomfield’s chapel,
and the funeral will be held there this
afternoon at 2 o’clock. Interment will
be at Hollywood. Mr. Hogan is a mail
carrier.

MISS ANNIE L
Atlanta Awaits Lipton s Verdict on Its Beauties
SIR THOMAS IS IMPARTIAL
There are French dukes and Italian
counts and every now and then an Eng
lish lord several thousand pounds worse
than broke who come a wife-hunting In
America, first looking up the eligible
offerings in Dun's and Bradstreet s well
known social blue books.
It Isn’t so often that a bachelor with
a title and more real money In his bank
book than a steel magnate can show
comes visiting in the States, and when
he does there Is naturally considerable
speculation as to his intentions.
That’s one reason why Sir Thomas
Upton's swing around the country Is
causing so much speculation in society
circles from coast to coast, not to men
tion a few inland cities.
Not Barred From Marital Stakes.
And the mere detail that Sir Thomas
has passed the sixtieth lap on the giddy
whirl of life doesn’t bar him from the
matrimonial stakes. Even If he didn't
own a neat little tea business, a title
and the most famous yachts on earth,
he would be considered some catch, for
doesn’t he hob-nob with royalty and
entertain the very top of the pot In Eu
rope?
And. besides that, he’s just about as
fine and jolly a chap as anybody would
care to meet, as Atlanta has learned
since yesterday. And a fair share of
Atlanta goclety hns met him.
Os course, everybody is trying to
ma-ry off Str Thomas. It Is a tribute
to the civic pride of 'Erlsco. and Denver,
and Halt Dake, and New Orleans, and
New York, and Boston that each of
them would like to furnish a Body Lip
ton.
Everywhere Sir Thomas went the ru
mor was sure t<> Ro that at last li« had
come and seen and been conquuiod.

There was a debutante In San Fran
cisco and a society bud in Chicago and
there once was a widow in Narragan
sett, it 1b rumored —but. anyway noth
ing ever came of the rumors.
They do say that Lloyds of London,
who will Insure against anything from
twins in the family to a mcither-in
law’s visit, considers Sir Thomas’ bach
elorhood a nlne-to-one bet and no limit
on the game. When a man has gone 60
years without finding his way up the
middle aisle with the ’cello softly sob
bing “Oh, Promise Me,” he may fairly
be considered an immune. '
But that doesn’t hinder Sir Thomas’
hosts from taking pride in presenting
the very choicest array of personal
pulchritude possible whenever he comes
to town. There are no less than two
score maids and matrons in America
who still base their claim to being
Queen of the May on the strength of
Sir Thomas having pronounced' each,
separately, “the prettiest woman I ever
saw.”
Atlanta Holds Its Breath.
And just now all Atlanta Is holding
Its breath and wondering who will win
the apple from this modern Paris.
The program for the week will pre
sent a dozen or two of the prettiest
girls In the society set. Not that any
Atlanta girl would wed a foreigner: far
be It from, far be it from! But they
are all willing to prove that Atlanta can
furnish an glittering a galaxy of girl
hood as any other old town, from Dub
lin to Honolulu.
There were a hundred or so presented
at the reception given Sir Thomas by
Colonel Willis Hagan yesterday after
noon And just to show how Sir Thutn
h» twin about It he disappeared from
Miss Mary Helen Moody, above, and Miss Martha Phinizy,
of Athens, below.
the ball room where the receiving line
was greeting the guests, and a search
ing party located him in the drawing
room, where the younger set was pour
ing tea.
Tea Might Have Attracted Him.
There were Misses Katherine Ellis
Harriet Calhoun, Marjorie Brown, Sa
rah Rawson, Kathryn Gordon, Annie
Lee McKenzie, Mary Helen Moody, An
nie Orme and Martha Phinizy. Os
course, It may have been the tea which
attracted him.
And tonight Sir Thomas w’ill meet
another galaxy of girlish grace,. Colonel
Willis Ragan gives a dinner at his
home, to which twenty guests are in
vited. Some of the same girls who
poured tea will be there, with others.
The list includes Mrs. Albert Thornton,
Misses Annie Orme, Harriet Calhoun,
Martha Phinizy, Katherine Ellis, Mar
garet Hawkins. Marjorie Brown, Pas
ale May Ottley, Esther Smith and Helen
Payne.
Kir Thomas expects to leave Satur
day, and it Is probable he will say con
fldentlally to a friend that Is
iibsidutely the prettieat young woman
he ever met, and the friend will tell
somebody else in strict confidence, and
by tea time everybody will be discus
ing Sir Thomas’ idea of personal pul
chritude and disagreeing with him. And
then Sir Thomas will sail back to Lon
don, heart whole and fancy free—but
there’s many an old bird who falls into
a trap at last. You never can tell.

Flour and Fruits Are Cheaper,
However, as Cold Weather
Influences Markets.
The prediction by the weather man of
a long, hard winter already is causing
a sharp rise in the price of eggs, but
ter and other necessities of life,
A south Georgia concern has warned
one of the leading retail grocers of At
lanta that eggs will eost the grocer 45
cents a dosen, and the public will ac
cordingly pay 50 cents to 55 cents.
Hucksters who bring eggs straight
from the country to the housekeeper’s
door declare that each egg may cost
five cents before the winter is much
older. Cold storage eggs are being sold
for about what they will bring, hut dis
criminating tastes do not call for thesa
to any great extent.
A dairy on Peachtree street sereea
notice today of a raise of 25 per cent in
the price of cream, from 40 cents a
quart to 50 cents, 30 cents a half-quart
to 25 cents, 10 cents a half-pint to 15
cents.
"We find that we are unable to sup
ply the high quality cream that we have
at the present prices, and must either
cut the quality or raise the price,” says
the announcement. Cows, it is said,
are yielding less milk and many have
gone dry.
"As for the butter market." declared ,
a delicatessen man, "it Is controlled by
Interests hard to name. The best but
ter Is 45 cents a pound, and June but
ter 40 cents. Every day we get circu
lars from manufacturers pushing the
sale of oleomargarine. 'Olee* is better
than many grades of butter, and the
price of the latter would tumble if the
10 per cent a pound tax on colored
oleomargarine were removed by the
government.”
The dealer quoted above holds out
hope to housewives. He asserts that
flour is cheaper than last year, which
should encourage consumers to eat
more biscuits, even as they shave down
on eggs, butter and the cream, which
makes the cereals delictous at break
fast.
