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.

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.” THE PLAYS THIS WEEK "THE GIRL” AT THE ATLANTA. “The Girl From Out Yonder," the of fering by the Miss Billy Long company at the Atlanta Theater this week, will be presented at a matinee this after noon and again to-night.

White City Park Now Open PUNS ill STOP PLUCK WINS FOR GIRL STRANDED IN PARIS 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- That Father of Five Must Get $80 a Week. 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 ’the average When Miss Las Casas found l sold popcorn, fudge, taffy and cor is planning to return to her home lerself alone and penniless in Paris, she opened up a little shop whehe aha n cakes to American girl students. Her venture lias been a success and she must be accepted hs meaning the av erage* American family of five chil 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 of $4,000. I did not say a net 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 statement will take very clearly de fined issue wlTfi the contention as I 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 ! Flench style.
