Difficult Task for Seminaries Savannah Chamber of Commerce I Starts Probe to Prove Insur ance Discrimination in Ga. BY JAMES B NEVIN. The City of Savannah through Its j chamber of Commerce, has started | an investigation into the question of file insurance rates that may termi nate in the State Insurance Depart ment, if not in the Legislature it self. The primary purpose of the inves tigation will be to determine whether the City of Savannah is being dis criminated against in the matter of rates now prescribed by the Southeas tern Tariff Association, which has its headquarters in Atlanta. In shap ing its conclusions, the Savannah trade body will employ statistics gathered from all over the nation. If rates in Savannah are found to be < xc. ssive in the judgment of the Savannah Chamber of Commerce, in quiry will be made as to excessive rates throughout all Georgia. And if the Chamber finds that Georgia is being unfairly treated in this matter, the case against the tariff body will be art-i d before the State Insurance Department, and ii may be that Leg islative relief will be sought. The Savannah Chamber will em ploy numerous insurance experts to investigate conditions, and expects to be put to considerable expense in making its probe thorough and com plete. The question Is a broad one, of course, and the Chamber of Com merce expresses its determination to be fair and equitable to the tariff association no less than to itself in getting at the facts involved. The investigation was brought about by reason of numerous com-j charge of churches. To be sure, many plaints of excessive fire insurance of these men are engaged in othei rates ( barged in Savannah, and once; forms of religious work, but the great Job of Supplying Ministers for Congregations Hardest of All—Each Wants Best. By REV. CHARLES STELZLE. The Presbyterian Church needs 1,000 additional ministers to man its churches, according to the report of the committee on Christian life and work, which reported at the North ern Assembly Friday. Among the many topics discussed at the Assembly meetings, few are of more importance than that of secur ing ministers—not mce ministers necessarily, but better ministers, for , the demand to-day is for the highest type of leadership in the church. There never was a time in the his tory of the church when the chances for making good a= a preacher were so great as it is to-day. The church is being asked to take the lead in th® important social problems of the day. as well as the religious questions of the period. For a real man's man, here's ih<» job of the twentieth cen tury. Many Men Needed. But while better men are needed, we can't get away from the proposi* lion that we need a good many of them. This is the problem which faces the church. Dr W. H Houston, of Columbus, secretary of the committee on va cancy and supply, which has charge of finding preachers for vacant churches, gave a stirring address. He made the startling statement that there are 3.000 ordained ministers in the Presbyterian Church who are not pastors—that is. they are not in lieves lie can make the demonstration with this amount. Here's good luck to him. For if he succeeds, he will render a great service not only for the Pres byterians. but for all other non-Epis- copal churches which must depend upon the wisdom of their sessions and other boards or find ministers.

Y„ May JU Bur- Mayor Woodward to-day admit ted that the dictograph record of his conversation in the room of the mys terious Colyar was correct. After reading the report in The Georgian, he said; "This is noi as strong as the con versation I told you I had before I knew they had a dictograph on me. "I did not oiler them any money, I but I will sav now that I will sub- j scribe to a fund that might unearth any graft in any city department. But i I haven't got any $1,000 to give. Denies Phagan Connection. "Another thing 1 want to make clear is that my dealing with those men had nothing whatever to do with the Phagan case. They told me they had evidence of the corruption of Beav ers and Lanford. 1 wanted to see what they had. "I don’t suppose anyone takes se riously the statement that Colonel Felder controls me.

Show He Has Been Con fined in Numerous Prisons and Twice in Asylum. Who is A. S. Colyar? The records show that Colyar was once confined in the Middle Tennes see Insane Asylum, and that more recently he was sent to Lyons View, the East Tennessee Asylum. Infor mation from Nashville is that he served time in prisons all over the State, as well as in Sing. Sing. New York, and a jail in Virginia. Tele grams from Chattanooga paint him as a w ild adventurer who spends con siderable time in prison and is al ways in trouble. In Prison Many Times. NASHVILLE. TENN May 24.- A. S. Colyar is a son of the late A. S. Colyar, of this city , one of the most brilliant lawyers and statesmen Ten nessee ever produced. When not vio lently' insane his mind works bril liantly. but always to the wrong end. He has been in prison time after time, but always evaded long sentences through influence of his father's friends. Young ColyaV’s most noted exploit, as it is understood here, consisted in connection with the famous Mollineux murder case in New York. He went from Nashville to New York, saw General Mollineux and offered to have his son acquitted for $20,000. "Your son Is innocent." Colyar is reported to have said. "One of my clients, now in the Tennessee peni tentiary, is guilty. He confessed 10 me. For $20,000 1 can get him out of McMinnville and stole a mule. Through interposition of friends he was sent to an insane asylum. He set fire to the institution and rode into Nashville to notify the fire de partment. Several persons were in cinerated in this tire. In Financial Trouble. For the past ten years A. S. Colyar has been out of one serious trouble into another, until his father’s friends have despaired of him. His last trouble in Tennessee was in the town of Lafollette, a wealthy mining center in East Tennessee He then became involved in serious finan cial difficulties which promised a pris on sentence. Nashville people who revered the name out of memory of an honored sire saved him. by con vincing a judge that young Colyar was unbalanced, and he was sent to Lyons View, Knoxville, the East Ten nessee asy lum for the insane Atlanta Printers To Honor Dead in 2 Services Sunday Union printers of Atlanta Sunday will hold annual memorial services in common with the union printers the country over.

The inquiry will b* started imme diately with an idea of getting it through in time to go before the summer session of the Legislature for relief, if necessary. It seems to be generally agreed that John P. Cheney, of Cobb, is to be the speaker pro tem of the next House of Representatives. He Is one of the veteran members’^ of the House as veterans go nowa days. and is an experienced parlia mentarian. Moreover, he is genuine ly popular with Ills fellow members, and i- sure to be acceptable as a presiding officer. Besides being a member of the Legislature. h*> is t member of the city Council of Marietta, and a trus tee of the Georgia Agricultural Col lege, at Dahlonega. Since Mr. Adams, of Hall, definite ly announced that he not only would not be in the race for speaker pro tem but would sup port Mr. Cheney, there have been no other announcements, and the pre sumption is that .Mr. Cheney is to be elected without opposition.

This means that Dr. Houston will have about $7.- 000 to spend this year for the purpose in question, as there are nearly 1.400,- 000 members in the church.

He had just finished another audience equally iong. “The Pope always takes the keen est interest in the Catholic Church in America, and I was able to give him very cheering news of our progress there.” Fear of Oysters to Be v. Few men can srive us Effectually Allayed and he stays just as long the bishop says so. Now the democ racy of the Presbyterian Church Is a tint' thing It gives each church the right to "call” just the preacher It wishes. But the system also holds some very serious disadvantages. However, men have always paid dear ly for the benefits of democracy, and if they want it, they must pay the price. Work for Seminaries. Dr. A. H. Barr, of Baltimore, re ported on theological seminaries. To many people here’s the crux of the entire situation: If the seminaries can make good in training men and training them in the right way. so as to'gixe their* students the right kind of an outlook upon their tasks, it will help immensely. Dr. Barr said it was quite a popu lar thing to criticise theological sem inaries for That’s easy. Few men can give us a program and a curriculum which will not only develop men of superior type—this they can do without much difficulty—but to take the ordinary man who comes to the seminary to become a preacher and really make a great preacher of him—there's the rub. Usually, the $1,000 church wants a $10,000 preacher; so the job of sup plying preachers i9 difficult at best. Dr. Barr reported that the enrollment in the junior classes in all Presby terian theological seminaries this year is 30 less than it was a year ago, although there are 60 more men in the senior classes than there were last year. This proves that either students are holding on better in the upper classes or else some men are coming back to the seminaries and finishing their courses. No doubt, the seminaries are improving their cur- VALDOSTA riculums. This will help in inducing year-old son more men to take the course. Pay for Students. Dr. William McKibbin offered a res olution that the Board of Education pay ordained ministers who wish to return to the seminary for additional work the same amount of money that is paid the regular student for the Gospel ministry Dr. McKibbin is himself the president of a theological seminary—Lane, of Cincinnati—and he knows something of the difficulties in the way of securing men and train ing them. The discussion of the day with ref erence to the entire subject revealed a decided interest in the matter, many of the commissioners speaking to it. WASHINGTON.

His record speaks, and Lee has sense ' nough to know It will do all the talking that Is necessary.” One hears this talk of Lee for Gov ernor around and about the hotel lob bies and the capitol corridors fre quently. Whether Mr. Lee has a gubernatorial ambition and has ex- piv-sed it himself, it is a fact that he has many friends who view the suggestion with genuine approval. A member of the Legislature who will seek to have a dog muzzling law- passed by the incoming General As- sembly has gathered -ome striking figures for the Legislature’s consider ation with respect to the hydrophobia situation in Georgia. Between the first of January and the first of May. this year. 392 cases of hydrophobia have been treated in Georgia. in 1912 there were 673 cases treated. So fa.* this year th;>re have been L? cases in Savannah. 84 in Atlanta. 3 in Americus. 4 in Columbus and 2 in Douglas.
