THE ATLANTA GEORGI AN AND NEWS. SATURDAY. MAY 10. 1913.
TIMS IN QUEST
OF i 914 COUNCIL
150 Leave Atlanta for Dallas Con
fident of Bringing Next An
nual Meeting Here.
Backed by the united support of
, u *tlzens of Atlanta, and with $76,000
pledged to entertain the 1914 Council,
, nearly lift members of the Yaarab
f Temple,-A. A. N. At. S., are Saturday
traversing the burping sands of the
Southern desert, en route to the oasis
of Dallas, Texas, where the Imperial
, Council of the Shriners will hold its
1 stnnuai conclave.
Not a man of the 160 will admit
there Is the slightest chance of At-
Inaita falling to get the big gathering
of Shriners in 1914 They formed the
j most optimistic party of men that
■ ever left eGorgta on a quest for fa
vors at the hands of any organisation,
‘every man has his head full of the
good things to be found in Atlanta,
« end he is prepared to back up his
s memory with charts, booklets and
•practical proof of the greatness of his
city.
The Atlanta Shriners plan to take
Dallas by storm, and if they do not
fall down on any of their arrange
ments, they will have no dfflleulty in
doing it. Potentate Forrest Adair,
ohe of the most enthusalstic boosters
for the city, cays the ovacl organs
of his followers are In first class shape
and the stunts pulled by the Atlan
tans. merely to show the other Shrin
ers that they are a live bunch from
a live city, will rival t|je Mexican
revolution in novelty and noise The
battle croy of ‘ Atlanta In 1914,” will
ring through Dallas from the time the
Atlantans arrive until they leave with
fhe promise of the Shriners to come
bore for the 1914 conclave.
“Good as Here Now.”
“There Is nothing to it,” declared
Mr. Adair, just before the special
train drew out.of the Terminal Sta
tion Friday night. “The 1914 coun
cil is as good as here now. We have
arguments (hat can not he met by
. Memphis or any other city in the
country. We will show a list of the
best hotels In the United States: we
will show railroad service second to
none; we will show invitations from
everything in Atlanta that is capable
of issuing an invitation; we have of
ficial requests from the State of
Georgia, from the City of Atlanta and
frorn every commercial organization
t In tl)e city, in short, we ‘have the
goods.' And when w.e get through
with these arguments we will lire
our biggest gun We'il tel! the Shrin
ers how we raised $76,000 in one
■day.''
An elaborate campaign to capture
the hearts of the Shriners has been
mapped out by the Atlanta nobles.
This campaign started Friday night
when the 135 Shriners, headed by
their crack Arab patrol and drum
corps, paraded through the streets of
fhe city from the Masonic Temple to
the,Terminal Station. Large crowds
cheered the Shrtnprs as they passed,
and at the station nearly 2,000 people
waited for a glimpse of the men who
are going to sound the praises of At
lanta into, the, ears.of men from all
parts of the country.
Go on Special Train.
At 10 o'clock the special train pull
ed' out of the station, with the drum
corps playing like mad and the crowd
cheering. The train made up for the
special accommodatirg) of the Atlan
ta nobles consists of six sleepers, a
buffet car and a dining and observa
tion car. ■ It will stop at Birming

The local men. headed bv the drum

Atlantans are not occupied with sere

train instead of living at the Dallas
hotels. A chef was taken along to

ers of other parts of the country will
be given a taste of genuine Georgia
cooking.

ALTOONA. PA.. May 10.—The im
modest fashions were blamed for th.;
declining moral standards in America
by Rev. J. H t Keller, a Lutheran min
ister. of PhHIlpsburg. Pa., speaking
before Northeast Synod of the Luth
eran Church. He said:
“If women want to wear trousers,
why do they not wear them with both
legs, instead of trying to stick both
feet into one leg.
“With the immodest dress of the
tfveragp girl of to-day it requires a
great deal of nerve for the minister
to look the ladies unblushingly in the
face and give them a warm hanJ-
shake at the door of the church.”

Bibb County Representative De- Palmer Sticks to His Assertion
signs Bill to Do Away With
Present Exemption Allowed.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Representative Minter Wimberly, of 1
Bibb County, one of the few' veterans j
to return to the Legislature, will in- j
troduee early in the forthcoming se-
■ion a bill to abolish jury exemptions
Primarily, this measure will be de- \
signed to stop the sale of Jury ex- |
emptions to members of the military}
companies of the State, but it hIho
will cover, some other forms of ex
emptions now permitted by law.
The State now* allows evqry mili
tary company regularly enlisted in
the State's service a certain number
of Jury exemptions, and these may be !
used by members of the organizations. I
or sold to outsiders, as the company !
may elect. The practice has been to j
sell these, exemptions for $25 per an
num, the revenue resulting to the j
oompany to be applied to armory rent
and other company expenses.
The result has been that the ex
emptions generally have operated to
relieve well-to-do citizens in various
cities, bankers, business men of large
Interests, and the like % from jury
service* who otherwise ‘would be re
quired to do jury duty the same as
the common or garden variety of
to\ ktt:
Representative Wimberly thinks
these citizens come from u class that I
should pot be exempt from Jury duty 1
any more, than others are exempt, and
he particularly believds that tlfere are j
many jurtfcs that need the services
of hankers and business men of large ,
interests, in order to insure fair and'
•intelligent verdicts in matters involv
ing the adjustment of financial af
fairs'.
'There has been a disposition in i
Georgia for a good many years to do
away with these jury exemptions, and
there is no doubt whatever that Mr.
Wimberly’s bill will receive hearty
support in many quarters.
A great many people will sympa
th4ze with the Bibb County man s idea
that all classes of citizens should per
form their share of jury duty, unless
prevented by illness, physical defect,
extreme old age or positive disquali
fication for cause or interest in the
persons or issues involved.
Believing that Georgia should have
another United States District Court,
and that Savannali should be the
headquarters of the new district, a
party of Savannah attorneys is now
in Washington for a conference with
ihe Department of Justice on the
subject.
% Those in the delegation are Judge
Samuel B. Adaqis. ,.W. W. Osborne, J.
Terris Cann. Anton P. Wright and T
Mayhew Cunningham. It is under- j
stood that General P. W. Meldrim
will Join the party in Washington i
Monday.
At various times in the last sev- 1
eral years efforts have been made to
have another District Court estab- I
lished in Southern Georgia, but noth j
ing ever came of these efforts. At the
time of the election of President Wil
son, the old agitation was revived,
and despite the fact that various
grand juries in the United States
Court have recently passed resolu
tions deploring such action as is now
being taken by the Savannah law
yers. It was determined to make the
effort to have the new court estab
lished there.
The presence of Joseph H. Davis, of
Albany, in Washington just now has
revived a lot of interesting talk as to
the United States marshal9hIp for
South Georgia.
It is understood that Senator Ba
con has considered Mr. Davis, but
that Senator Smith has lodged an ob
jection against him. Senator Bacon
has not “indorsed" the Albany man. it
is explained, but lie has had him “fa
vorably in mind." Whether the ob
jection of Senator Smith will operate
to eliminate Davis is the question.
Mr. Davis, it appeal*, is charged
with not being "progressive enough"
in his politics to suit the Junior Sen
ator—at least, that is the way The
Savannah Press hands out the “dope,”
and. presumably, it speaks by the
card.
And. anyway. Davis is in Washing
ton looking into things for himself,
and the outcome of his visit Is being
watched with genuine interest
throughout the State.
Georgia politicians have been
greatly interested in the development
of the Gainesville and Rome post-
mastership situations, and now that
both have been settled, further devel
opments are being watched with even
greater interest.
President Wilson in disregarding
Congressman Bell’s recommendation
as to the Gainesville office--Mr. Bell’s
home office—has set aside a prece
dent very few' expected to see broken
From time immemorial it has be«n
customary for the President to nam
without question the man nominated
by a Representative for his home of
fice. Bell’s recommendation of Mr.
Hardy in Gainesville, however, was
passed over, even before Bell goi
through talking to the President about
Hardy.
In Rome the matter was different,
for Horae is not Congressman Lee's
home town; but Mrs. Wilson, and not
Congressman Lee. named the Rome
postmaster.
It is very well known that Mr. Lee
had former Postmaster John M. Van
diver in mind for the Rome postraas-
tership. . However, he deferred, with-

WASHINGTON, May 10 Repre
senatlve A. Mitchell Palmer, of Penn
sylvania. a member of the majority
of the Committee on Ways and Means
is standing firmly by the statement
made by him m the House that $4,000
is the minimum annual income at
which, under modern conditions of
living, the American head of a fami
ly can properly i*ear, support, and
educate the average American family,
Mr. Palmer made this statement in
defense of the $4,000 exemption fixeJ
by the framer* of the income tax bill.
Mr. Palmer amplifies his statement
ns follows:
“There were three points which, in
analyzing my statement, must be tak
en together. In the first place I sail

dren.
“The legislation must presuppose
that the American family is not a
childless family, and the general av
erage of rich end poor, high and lov -
ly, must bo taken regardless of the
general presumption that the families
of the rich are smaller than those . >f
the moderately well to do and the
poor. We ‘are legislating for the av
erage.
“In the second place 1 said a groa*

Income, and therefore, taking the
gross income as the basis as the. law
takes it. there are numerous corol
laries to the problem as to* just what
naturally unavoidable expenses of the
individual are taken from his income
and enter into his cost of living, so
that the net income of $4,000 might
represent .the net on a gross of twen
ty tlmea €lie amount mentioned.
“Third. I said: ‘Support the family
according to the proper American
standard and send his children
through the. high schools and colleges
of the land.’ 1 do not believe it will
be possible to find any one who will
attempt to deny that no modern
American can live under modern
American standards, feed, clothe and
educate a family of five with due pro
vision for their education and the
maintenance of their health, send all
of his children through college or
give them technical or business train
ing of equivalent value to a Universi
ty course and keep much inside the
expenditure of his income of $4,000
a year. 1 do not think that readers
of the newspapers who analyze guy

there express it."
PARIS, May 10.—American pluck
has solved a difficult problem for Miss
Lillian Las Casas.
Some time ago Miss l^as Casas
found herself in a strange city with
out money and without friends. She
did not send despairing cables to her
relatives on the other side of the
ocean, but, having determined to suc
ceed through her own efforts, opened
up a modest little shop where she
sold popcorn balls, taffy, fudge, corn
cake and other delicacies which are
about as necessary to the average i
American schoolgirl as are her books. ^
There are always a number of
American students in Paris and they j
flocked to Miss Las . Casas’ shop, i
From the start her venture was a
success. 8he has added to her Mock
and. jn the language of the country '
frorn which she comes, is “making
good."
Miss Las Casas is a remarkably at
tractive girl and, with the money
which her shop earns at her disposal,
she dresses in the height of fashion.
The picture shows her in the simple
dress she wear* while waiting on
her customers. She has on a plaited
skirl and a fish wife's blouse. Her
hair is done up in tfie most approved !
