3 TTTT: ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS UX JUTS TO Bt CAMERA MEN SCRAP FOR CHANCE TO PHOTOGRAPH ATLANTA BEAUTIES Appropriations Bill, as Framed Pleases Governor—Needed Revenue To Be Provided. The one disturbing element- * the program of financial legislation as mapped out by Governor Slaton just prior to the # assembling of the Leg islature, and as outlined by him In his inaugural address, seems more than likely to be removed, thus avoid ing either an Executive veto of the general appropriations bill or an ex tra session of the General Assem bly. The general appropriations bill, as / -med up in the House and as like- Jy to be amended in the Senate, will be entirely satisfactory to the Gov ernor, provided sensible and neces sary tax acts are passed to produce the revenue called for. And it may be stated as a fact that the legislative skies have been stead ily clearing for the past few days with respect to that. Tax Acts Also Expected, Not only does it now seem likely that the big appropriations bill will go to the Governor ten days ahead of adjournment as he has requested, but the tax acts will accompany it. in order that he may consider all at the same time and in their exact vital relations to one another. The tax acts will provide the nec essary increase in revenue to cover the appropriations called for, and this increased revenue will be distributed as equitably and as justly as possi ble. Chairman Aiken, Vice Chair man Cole and every member of the Ways and Moans Committee, has been constantly at work upon the tax acts of late, to the exclusion of all other business. May Raise Tax Limit. No attempt will be made in the general legislative tax acts, however, to cover the deficit now existing in the State treasury. The Legislature seemingly inclines to propose a con stitutional amendment of limited du ration, providing for an increase in the tax limit of one mill for one year and one-half a mill for a second year, as recommended by th e Governor. This increase will raise something over $1,000,000, which will wipe out the deficit and leave something to spare for further necessities between this time and the date upon which the amendment, if ratified, can be put in operation. • The money thus extraordinarily raised will* of course, pay the com mon school teachers in full and start them oIT again with a clean slate against the State, and with no dan- , ger (if a future situation of indebt- % edness such as now exists. Expect Bill to Pass. The bill providing for tax equaliza tion will pass the Legislature. There is no doubt whatever of that in the minds of those members who have closely observed the trend of events lately. It will not be the hill the Governor hoped for, but it will be a bill pro viding a plan of tax equalization that can be expanded and perfected by later Legislatures, if it seems to work to the people’s satisfaction. It will carry provisions for coun ty boards of tax equalizers with a State board of limited powers to su pervise the entire work. The State board will not be permitted to equal ize the assessment of taxpayers, but it will have power to equalize the counties. Measure To Be Compromise. This measure will he a decided compromise between those who are advocating a State board of far- reaching authority and those who ob ject to any State'board at all. Without some sort of State boa.d it generally is agreed, however, that tax equalization would he a complete farce, and not worth while in any particular. The Legislature has eighteen days of life to its credit after to-day. Com pared with other Legislatures, the present one really has worked rapid ly, particularly with respect to the appropriations bill and the tax acts Inasmuch, also, as there is no like lihood that it will lose any more time whatever from Monday forward, it looks as if its labors for the first session of its life will prove to be very satisfactory.

Conference on Mexican Situation Kept Secret — Ambassador Denies Interviews. WASHINGTON. Jn'-- 28.—Ambas- sador Henry Lane Wilson reached the office of Secretary of State Bryan to-day and expressed his views on the Mexican situation. The interview with Bryan was preliminary to the one which the envoy will hold with President Wilson. The Ambassador’s first act on his arrival here to-day was to repudiate almost entirely the interviews sent out from New York last night. “Most of the statements attributed to me this morning are absolutely false,” he said. “I did not call Gen eral Carranza a bandit or refer to the revolutionary movement as a cami>aign of bandits, nor did 1 say that all talk of mediation was rot. No Chance for Mediation. ‘T did say that a board of media tors going into Mexico at the present time would have as much chance as a board of arbitrators in the midst of strike conditions that prevailed in West Virginia some months ago. I am not to be placed In the attitud- of being a mere press agent for Huerta.” The conference between Secretary Bryan and Ambassador Wilson last ed about 45 minutes. It will be re sumed at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Mr., Bryan was forced to suspend the in terview at 11 o’clock to keep an en- I gagement with the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate to discuss the proposed Nicaraguan treaty and the Mexican situation. Bryan stated that Ambassador Wil son would not see President Wilson before Monday. He declined to dis cuss the interview with the Ambas sador. Only One Real Revolt. “There is only one bona fide rev olution with high ideals in Mexico,” continued th e Ambassador. “That is the revolution in the State of So nora, headed by Governor Pasquiera. They are fighting for states’ rights and doing no looting.” The Ambassador said the Huerta The dinner dance at the Piedmont Driving Club Saturday evening will be one of the most interesting in the series <»f week-end dinner dances en joyed by the club members through out the summer.

That she was not allowed to tell her story of the shooting before the military court-martial, and that sol diers shot at her brother-in-law after he had called to them not to fire again was the testimony given by Mrs. B. S. Dunbar before the Military Com mittee of the House Friday after noon when the investigation into the Augusta killings of several months ago was taken up. The investigation is being held un der a resolution introduced by Repre sentative Beck, of Carroll County. The other witnesses were Mrs. Rob ert Christie, widow of one of the men killed; Sheriff John W. Clark, of Richmond County; Palmer Christie and L. M. Dohme, of Augusta. They were represented by Clem E. Dunbar, former member of the House. Mrs. Dunbar charged that one of the officers told her he had become ex cited during the shooting and or dered his men to shoot promiscuous ly, but that Major Claude Smith had refused to allow her to testify to this effect. When she asked Major Levy why she had not been allowed to tell her story correctly before the court- martial, she said he replied that the military must he protected. “For God's sake, don’t shoot. Don’t you see I am trying to stop my ma chine?” are the words which she as serted Christie told her he said to the soldiers. "He was on his way to my home in his automobile to get his wife. He saw the soldiers, but thought nothing of it. They fired at him and he attempted to stop and called to them not to shoot again, but they fired another volley and wounded him in one of his lungs, which caused his death a short while afterward.” When the hearing is resumed Tues day it probably will continue each afternoon through the week. Practi cally every military officer who was on duty in Augusta, as well as many privates, will be summoned to ap pear before the committee.

No Eligible List of Assistants to Recently Named Atlanta Inter nal Revenue Collector. An unusual situation will arise upon the transfer of the office of Internal Revenue Collector, when a special agent arrives in Atlanta August 1. The retiring Collector, Henry S. Jackson, fears hsl successor, A. O. Blalock, of Fayetteville, will be placed in an embarrassing position. “The Collector of Internal Revenue is the only office,” said Mr. Jackson, “which really has no fixed term. All other appointive offices in the Gov ernment service are for four years, but the Collector’s term is subject to the will of the President alone. “When a Collector of Internal Reve nue goes out of office, the terms of his <!toptitle* expire fcutomatlc&lly, for they are appointed by him,” said Mr. Jackson. “At present there is no eligible list, and when I go out >f office, there will, therefore, be no deputies “If my successor, Mr. Blalock, sees fit, lie may appoint my deputies, but after appointing them he ran not dis charge them without good cause, for a man is nevoT dismissed from the Government service, after he qualifies by civil service examination, except for some disdemeanor. “No civil service examination for deputies will be held until Auerust 15, and it will be September before the results are known. In the meantime, I am sure the Government will not be content to let the Atlanta office run without deputies. 1 am sorry for Mr. Blalock and hope the matter ran in some way be adjusted so his friends will *not be disappointed.” Pared a “perfectly detlnlte.' co'mpLte 1 thp - flay ,,arty - f ° r her Tuesday, .and policy, lined in memorandum form, which the United States should pur sue in Mexican affairs."

"The President and Secretary of State have given me no indication of such a situation, and they have shown me the greatest con sideration, except in one thing—-the sending to Mexico, on behalf of the President, it is said, of William Bay ard Hale, the magazine writer, and of Mrs Robert Bruce Morrison enter tnined informally in her honor Wed nesday evening.
