[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.

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.

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. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1912.

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.

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. Robert H. Troy. Robert H.

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.
