11 THE ATLANTA (HOIK;]AN AND NEWS. PRISON REFORM IMANFISBIC Aviator Quells Fire 4,000 Feet in the Air CHICAGO. 'Aug. 2.—“I thought I was a goner,” said W, C. Robinson, an aviator, as he related his feelings while he was fighting a fire that threatened to destroy his aeroplane 4.000 feet above Chicago’s business district. Crowds along Michigan Boulevard and aviators at Cicero flying field watching through glasses though* he was a “goner,” too. But Robinson, alone in the flaming aeroplane, fought the Are with a hand chemical while he made a perfect descent and landed Just as the planes collapsed. Help! Mother-in-Law! Judge Answers Call OMAHA, NEBR., Aug. 2.—Lester L. King, a wealthy business man here, secured an injunction enjoining his mother-in-law, Mrs. Levi Gard ner, of Harvard, Ill., to ketp out of his home. Mrs. Gardner has been visiting the King family several months, and ac cording to King caused trouble be tween him and his wife. Mother-in- law refused to leave when requested to do so, and King obtained the in junction. One Year Given to Abate Copper Fumes The Tennessee Copper Company, operating at Ducktown, Ga. f was noti fied Saturday of a one-year extension in which to eliminate the smoke nui sance that farmers in that section said had ruined the crops. The ex tension was secured by an amend ment to the Wright resolution by the Senate, which was concurred in by the House Friday. One Provides for Probation in Minor Cases — Other Allows Indeterminate Sentence. With the concurrence of the State Prison Board and of many Superior Court Judges of Georgia, the Senate has passed two measures designed to change greatly the methods of deal ing with convicts. They do not interfere with the sys tem of working convicts on the road. In fact. Chairman Davisson, of the Prison Board, believes the changes will increase the efficiency of the convicts in road building. But the acts change the attitude of the State toward the convict and give the lat ter a chance to work out his own sal vation. The first measure legalizes the right of the judge to suspend sentence and provides that an adult for whom sen- 1 tence has been suspended may be freed on probation. The second meas ure provides indeterminate sentence. The first act passed the Senate unanimously and the second by a vote of 27 to 3. Both have been recom mended for passage by the House committees. So far as is known no opposition has developed. The bills sound complicated be cause of the various safeguards and restrictions thrown around the pro posed changes, but their operation is simple. The probation bill means the trial court has a right to suspend sentence and yet exercise a supervision over the sentenced. For instance, when a man is sentenced for abandonment of family, the Judge, if he deems it wise, can sentence the man to the chain- gang, and then let him go free on pro bation on condition that he goes to work and supports his family. By the same method a first offender can be given a second chance, and yet can be kept under the restraining eye of the court. It is an application in a limited way of the children's court probation system to adults. The indeterminate sentence bill is equally simple. After excluding life- termers, persons previously convicted of felony or convicted for criminal asbauit or attempted criminal assault, it provides a sentence for an indeter minate period instead of a fixed num ber of years. Then the convict’s be havior determines whether he gets out at the end of the minimum time, ♦r stays in to the maximum. J. Ham Lewis Calls For ‘Fathers’ Day’ WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, has come to the conclusion that the “Old Man” of the family has not received proper recognition from a grateful country. He announced to-day his intention t6 introduce a bill setting aside July 29 as “Fathers’ Day.” Al ready there is a “Mothers’ Day” and a “Children’s Day.” “The Old Man,” said the Senator, “pays all the bills. On cold winter mornings he gets up to light the fire. In summer he works like a horse in mowing the lawn. His lot is not a happy one. He deserves recognition.” Expects to Pay for Hauling Away Shrubs and Gets Five Dol lars for It Instead. "No, there isn’t a thing I want that a want ad would bring me,” said a North Side woman to a Georgian want ad contestant as he chatted with her on her front veranda. “Un less I could get rid of that unsightly big shrub in the front yard. It cuts off my view and I’d like to pay a man to take it it up and haul it away.” “I believe you can do better than that,” said the contestant, who knew something of plants. “Let me sell it for you.” And next afternoon there came a couple just completing a new home who wanted to adorn their lawn, and they gladly paid $5 for the shrub and bore the expense of moving it. And that’s what a want ad will do. The contestants now at work are running across a world of human in terest stories. They find many strange “wants” and many queer situations. But they are rounding up the ads. Contestants who are not informing their friends about the race are over looking their best opportunity. They should tell every acquaintance, for everybody is using want ads and ev ery ad might mean a hundred or two votes for a friend just as well as not The Want Ad Man will show con testants how to secure the friends’ aid if you’ll ask him. And if ypu haven’t entered the con test now is the time. You still have an excellent chance to get a start. Miss Wilson Advises Fiance on His Career NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Francis B.

Texas Rains Cause Constant Flood of Long Cotton—Bulls Withdraw—No Support. NEW YORK, Aug. I.—Absence of Liverpool cables and general showers over the larger part pf itie Western belt resulted In the cotton market open ing weaker to-day, first prices at a net decline of 4 to 18 points from Friday’s closing quotations Good showers were reported over tne East and Central por tions of Texas. The market w'as long after yester day’s upturn and there* was much early pressure from room sources. Business was active. New crop positions were freely offered, but very little cotton changed hands and prices suffered f\n additional decline of 10 to 14 points in most active positions from the opening range. Liverpool cabled that Manches ter was practically idle, and that spin ners and manufacturers are cautious Throughout the short session low lev els were sustained, in response to ft con stant flow of Ion* cotton In addition to Texas rains, many of the more conservative element contend that the Government failed to give the crop as high percentage as it deserved. They also contend that the benefit of the recent rains should have been made up in the report, but the percentage given by the Bureau did not indicate such had been added. At the close the market was steady with prices at a net decline of 19 to 20 points from the final quotations of Friday.

HAYWARD A CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2.—Weather velopments overnight were distinctly favorable. Indications are for precipi tation in the southern half of Texas, cooler generally over the western and northern half of the belt. Partly cloudy with showers in southeastern quarter and the Carolinas Liverpool is closed to-day and will be closed on Monday. The market de clined nearly 20 poipts in the early trading on liquidation of long cotton taken on the drouth in Texas and the Bureau report which is released now owing to rains in Texas. New York re ported McFadden heavy seller through various brokers. The tendency was to buy on the break on the fear of bullish efforts sug gested by Mr. Price’s circular and ilso on account of delay to the crop in *he Eastern States and possibly complains of too much rain. A spell rt{ fair weather is desirable in the Central and Eastern States. The market -was steady at the decline, with new crops around’ 11.20.

A multitude admitted bad Judg ment. Many accepted the showing as bullish. A few expressed the belief the Government had erred. But the market is so restricted by the fear of adverse legislation that very little trad ing was generated by the Government’s figure of 79.6, which is .4 below the ten- year-average Because of the low Bu reau, bulls attached much importance to the dry weather in Texas and Ok lahoma since July 25, and exploited the claim that further deterioration has taken place in those States since the compilation of the Bureau’s data. “On the other hand, big crop people dug into the record and found that be tween April 15 and July 25 the Texas rainfall amounted in 1913 to 7.63 inches, in 1912 to 7.59 inches, in 1911 to 7.56 inches. From these figures they drew the deduction that the western plant, which they say has a good tap root, can not now be suffering more than nor mally. and that the crop outlook on the Whole is really excellent. However, the consumer of cotton these days seems to pin greater faith to the significance of Government utterances on the condi tion of the crop than does the middle man. He is also slower to act. Thus, to-day or Monday the market may show strength as the result of buying for consumers’ account.” THE WEATHER. General Conditions.

Several loads of Tennessee cattle were on the market; one car of 1.200-pound steers shipped from Wart race. These were in a class to themselves and were sold promptly to the Atlanta packer at bet ter than 7c, the top price of the week. These were two-year-old steers and fat, and the price was not considered too high for the quality. This only goes to show that Atlanta is like other markets; they will pay good prices for good stuff. Tennessee cows and heifers were fairly plentiful and prices ruled steady. There are not so many half fat and ragged bunches In the pens, although enough to supply the demand for this • lass.

M’CULLOUGH BROS.’ WEEKLY FRUIT AND PRODUCE LETTER Although It is quiet, as Is usual at this season of the year, in the fruit and produce line, the prospects for a heavy fall and winter’s business were never brighter. The local gardeners are at this time supplying to a large extent vegetables and fruit to meet the present limited de mand. L Virginia cabbage are moving, but In a small way as yet. with high prices ap plying. The market is also active on onions and Irish potatoes. The few California oranges in the market are selling slowly, but at high prices. The lemon market is about at a standstill at present. Values are rang ing from $1.50 to $2 per box lower t^jan applied two weeks ago. It is yet too early for California fruit or Eastern or Western grapes. The latest reports are that these sections will be moving their crop during the next ten days or two w'eeks at values sufficiently low to authorize a general and liberal consumption. Fancy cantaloupes, also peaches, are in good demand at satisfactory prices. 'ineapples high, with the demand lim ited. „ The market is and has been over stocked on live poultry, especially small ard medium fries, for some days. Hens in fair demand at quotation prices. The egg market is looking up, showing a lc to 2c per dozen advance over last week s prices. A fair demand prevails for fancy ta ble and cooking butter. ' As usual, there Is very little demand for dressed poultry at this season of the year. A fair demand prevails for sweet notatoes. Bailed Out, All Right, But by Stomach Pump CHICAGO, Aug. There was no chance for Max Rubin, in Jail, to be bailed out in the usual way. Still he wanted to get out, even if his next summer resort had to be the county hospital. He pretended to have swallowed bi chloride of mercury tablets and was baled out with a stomach pump. In deed, he was baled out so many times that ‘he finally admitted that he had not taken the poison at all. Drug Store Changes Hands. Tiie Hopkins Drug Company of De catur h?.s been sold by Edwin Davis to Henry C. Jordan, of Tucker, Ga. Mr. Jordan has a dairy near Tucker. CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—The advancing tendency of com prices was unchecked at the opening to-day, there being noth ing in the news coming forward to war rant lower prices for this cereal. Con tinued dry weather prevails over the corn belt, although temperatures are more seasonable than for several days past Shorts were the best buyers in the pit at the opening and prices were 1% to l%c higher than ruled at yester day’s close. Reports received here stated that farmers in many instances were feeding wheat because of the scarcity of com. The strength and higher prices ruling in corn carried wheat % to %c higher, September selling at %c higher. There was a holiday at Liverpool. Reports showed weather in the Northwest clear and favorable for maturing the crop. Receipts at both Northwestern points, as well as Winnipeg, were light. Oats gained % to %c on poor thrash ing returns, although the strength in. corn also proved a help in this market. Bearish construction was placed on the semi-monthly reports on nog prod ucts, and this, coupled with a weak hog market, caused provisions to sell lower. Some of the best posted men in the corn trade are impressed with the idea that this grains will be in the 70s next week and that It will continue to ad vance until checked by rains. The gains to-day were l%c to l%c, and there was noly a slight reaction and decline from the best prices reached. Only 90,000 bushels of com were sold here and 46,000 bushels of oats. Wh«at was up Zc to %c and ruled; strong. Cash sales were 46,000 bushels. Oats gained %c to lc. Hog products were lower all around. Grain quotations: Previous High. Low. Close. Close.
