Brady. the American fin ancier, who diec in London, was placed aboard the Baltic, which sailed for America to-day. PRESIDENT IS CROWD SEES DICTATOR STIRRED Works Charges Executive With Usurping Legislative Power. Scores Tariff ‘Influence.’ Swimming, Rambles in Woods, Auto-Rides and Sleeping Outdoors Give New Lease on Life. If'you do not believe the simple life 1s conducive to better work, ask some of the heads of departments of the Bell Telephone Company. They’ll tell you that since the establishment of Camp Wyanoke at Lakewood Heights, where the young women employees of the company spend their vacations and their week-ends, the work of the “hello girls,” the stenographers and the other young women who work in the big building at Mitchell and Pryor streets, has greatly improved. “The idea we had in mind when Camp Wyanoke was established,” Miss Katherine Tatum, who is* in charge of the camp, said, Thursday morning, “is working out splendidly. The girls come back to Atlanta after a few days or a week’s stay at tne camp invigorated and almost with a new lease on life. They have breathed pure, fresh air; they have worked about the camp, and they return to their work with a vim and a determi nation that is usually lacking during the hot summer months.” Simple Life Throughout. The simple life is lived in all its phases at Camp Wyanoke. With the exception of the harder and unfa miliar work of cooking all the work is done by the girls. They wash dishes. wash their own clothing—or most of it—keep house, sew and dtfa hundred and one other tasks. When work is done they go swim ming and wading, or take long rides in the automobiles the company sends out to them several times a week. Every "Wednesday and Saturday nights there are dances and games of various kinds. The practice of sleeping in the open air is considered by Miss Tatum one of the best features of the camp. It gives many girls who heretofore have been cooped up in tiny city rooms* a chance to recuperate. Sunday School in Camp. Every girl employed by the com pany is given a chance to taste the joys of camp life. Those who had taken their vacations before the camp was installed have been given a leave of absence of three or four days, that they might visit the camp. Others spend their entire vacation there. There are always about twenty girls at the camp, and on Saturday and Sunday this number is sometimes swelled to a hundred, by the girls who come out to spend Sunday. Sunday school is held in the open air under the trees, and is usually attended by about a hundred young women. Factory Supplants Farm as Exporter WASHINGTON, July 24.—How the United States is changing from great exporter in foodstuffs to manu factures is shown in every report is sued nowadays by the Bureau of For eign and Domestic Commerce. The bureau’s latent figures show growth in exports of manufactures from $468,00,000 in 1903 to $1,200,000,- 000 in the fiscal year just closed and in manufacturers’ materials from $409,000,000 to $740,000,000. while the exports of foodstuffs remained at * standstill, $510,000,000 having been the value of the exports in that line both in 1913 and 1903. Headless Body of Girl Found at Sea BOSTON, July 24.—The finding of the headless body of an apparently well -to-do young woman at sea, 35 miles east of the Georges Bank by Captain Charles White, of the Glou cester fishing schooner Jennie H. Gil bert, is believed to reveal a death by violence at sea, possibly on a trans- Atlantic liner. The body was found ten miles south of the southerly track of trans- Atlantic steamers, about 170 miles out from Boston. Corsets of apparently expensive make, a black shirtwaist, portions of a dark green silk skirt and high button boots were on the body. phoes, clothing and like articles are made. The fire was extinguished by the prison fire department after It had swept the shoeshop. The entire penal population IS be ing kept under lock in fear of further outbreaks. Fire Laid to Trusties. The attempt to burn the prison building came early to-day after a night of wild excitement ip the prison. When the warden, James H. Clan- cey, was told of the threats, he di rected that no prisoners, excepting the trusties, should be allowed out of their cells. It is believed that some of the trusties, acting under orders f their imprisoned fellows, applied the match to the clothing factory build ing. As the fire raged the criminals be hind locked doors set up a terrific din. They shouted “fire,’’ called vile names, beat their doors and made the prison hideous with noise. “We want Kennedy,” came the constant chant above the din. Protest Warden’s Removal. This protest against the removal of the former warden, who was indicted by the Westchester County Grand Jury, was the keynote of the entire rebellion that for 36 hours has had the State’s largest penal institution in a state of mutiny. All night long the convicts kept up their riotous demonstration. They made the food the first basis of com plaint. They contemptuously tossed away bits of food and went to their cells surly and disobedient. Guards are on duty to-day all along the prison walls, the officers fearing that the sullen convicts may make a concerted effort to escape. Seeking to relieve the perilous sit uation at the prison, Warden Clancey this afternoon made* arrangements with the railroad to take 200 second and third term prisoners to Auburn to-morrow. With these riotous pris oners out of the way, the warden be lieves he can restore order in the in stitution. WASHINGTON, July 24.—On the floor of the Senate to-day Senator Works, of California, denounced Pres ident Wilson for influencing tariff leg islation in the summing up of a speech on the tariff bill pending be fore the Senate. “The tendency of latter-day poli tics is to exalt the executive at the expense of the legislative and judicial power of the Government, and make the President the master and ruler of them all. and the master and not the servant of the whole people,” said the Senator. “It is an unwarranted and danger ous tendency. Every public official, however exalted, is only the servant of the people, and should at all times be subject to their control and sub servient to their will in conformity to the Constitution and laws of the coun try, and each department of the Gov ernment, if Us institutions are to be preserved, must be kept within the limitations of its powers as fixed >y the Constitution. He Charges Tariff Coercion. “If this bill is passed, it will not be by the willing and voluntary consent of a majority of this body. It will be the result, In, part, of outside influ ence that should never enter into the deliberations or acts of Congress. The Constitution provides: All legislative powers herein grafted shall be vested in a Con gress of the United States, which . shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. “The President is also made Com mander-In-Chief of the army and navy. That instrument further pro vides that ‘the executive power shall be vested in the President of the United States of America.’ It is fur ther provided: ‘He shall from time to time give to the Congress informa tion of the state of the Union and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.’ No Warrant for Influence. “This is the only power vested in the President in respect of the making of laws. There is no warrant in the MACON, July 24.—W. M.

In concluding his speech, Senator Works said: “I have approached this subject with reluctance and purely from a sense of duty. I expressed similar views during the last administration. I have the greatest respect and es teem for the incumbent of the great office of President of the United States, as I had also for his predeces sor. Explains Causes of Alarm. “I believe In the integrity and sin cerity of his purpose to serve the people and the country to their very best interests. But, sir, this can not deter me from expressing my views on a question so serious and far- reaching in its consequences. “It makes the situation only the more alarming that one of such high ideals and patriotic purposes should do anything that can reasonably be construed to be a usurpation of power or an infringement of the Constitu tion that may some time be appealed to as a precedent by one less con scientious and patriotic.” While hundreds* of pedestrians, many of them women and children, looked on. two men engaged in a stabbing affray on Peachtree street across from the Candler Building Thursday morning. One of the men received serious injuries. The wounded man gave his name »s« Burnett Goodman. He said he was manager of the gum company and lived at No. 36 Moore street.

Ware, who voluntarily surrendered to Policeman Bostwick, declared that “he had cut him because he wanted to cut him." Other than that, he re fused to give an explanation of his action. Ware used a pocket knife as his weapon. According to Obodman, Ware at tacked him without provocation. “I was walking down the street with a friend, when Ware came up to me and without a word began striking at me with a knife. I dodged his blows as well as I could and tried to run, but the knife caught me twice across the face. Then I got away and ran, hut Ware followed me. If it had not been for someone stopping him he would have killed me, I believe.” Bet Given as Cause of Fight. The affair is said to have been the result of an argument over a “book” on a baseball game. According to In formation given the police, Ware on Wednesday made a bet with Good man of $125 on the game played that afternoon. It was said that Goodman was ac customed to making “books” on base ball games, and that Ware, in lieu of the cash to put up, posted a $20 for feit to cover his bet. Acording to the report, Ware failed to put up the remaining $105 before the game was played, and when the team which he bet on won, and he at tempted to collect the bet from Good man. the bookmaker refused to pay. The two are declared to have had some difficulty at that time, but re frained from violence. Thursday morning, however, when they met, the stabbing ensued.
