THE ATLANTA (GEORGIAN AND NEWS. *II1S PASSED DV SEBATE // 'j One Provides for Probation in (Expects to Pay for Hauling Away Minor Cases—Other Allows Intermediate Sentence. oncurrence of the State and of many Superior ctf Georgia, the Senate ;o measures designed to methods of deal- ) With the t Prison Boar< Court judges has passed two m change greatly tli ipg with convicts. They do not interfere with the sys tem of working convicts on the road. In fact, Chairman Davisson, <)f the Prison Board, believes the changes will increase the efficiency of >the convicts in road building. But the afct» change the attitude of the State toward- the convict and give the kil ter a chance to work out his own sal vation. The first measure legalizes the right of the judgo to suspend sentence and provides that an adult for whom sen tence has been suspended may bc^f freed on probation. The second meas ure * provides nideterminate sentence. The first act passed the Senate p 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 1s known no opposition has developed. Tim 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 sentence. 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 assault 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, or stays in to the maximum. J. Ham Lewis Galls 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 to 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.” 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 bis 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 thought he was a “goner.” too. But Robinson, alone in the flaming aeroplane, fought the tire with a hand chemical while he made a perfect descent and landed just as the planes collapsed. 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 Georgiap want ad contestant as he chatted with her on her front veranda*. "Un- less 1 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. “Lefc 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 $3 fpr 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 iiir terest stories. They find many strange “wants” and many queer situations. But they are roundin£ 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 you haven’t entered the con test now is the time. You still have an excellent chance to get a start. DRAINED RAPIDLY Lands Formerly Valueless Now Worth Large / Sum, Says W. E. Hall, Atlanta Geologist. Vital interest throughout the United States is being taken in the drainage of the Florida Everglades. Warrep E. Hall, district engineer of the Geo logical Survey stationed in . Atlanta, whose territory embraces the south eastern portion of the United States, made a two weeks' survey of the heart of the great swamps in company with M. O. Leighton, E. T, Perkins and Is ham Randolph, members of the Florida Everglades Commission. Mr. Hall declares great work is being done in regard to draining off the water, thus making thousands of acres of land formerly valueless now worth large sums. The Government is taking an active hand in furnishing information which will be of great assistance to the commission in figuring out the various cuts to be made for canals. Nine Government stations have been estab lished in the Everglades. “While in Florida assisting thq | Commission to determine the feasibil ity <jj^Jraining portions of tho Ever- gla. P" said Mr. Hall,” I saw only a small amount of the work previous ly done. It was most pleasing and satisfactory as far as I could deter mine from the reports and my per sonal observations.” CABLE NEWS Help! Mother-in-Law! Judge Answers Call OMAHA, NEBR.. Aug. 2.—Lester L.

New crop positions were freely ottered, but very little cotton changed bands an 1 prices sufferd an additional decline of 10 to 14 points ill 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 sutained. in response to a con- tant flow of long cotton. In addition to Texas rains, many of the more conservative element contend 'hat the Government failed to give the crop as high, percentage as it deserved. hy also contend that the benefit of the recent rains should have been made up 1 n 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. -0 points from the final quotations of Friday. Estimated cotton receipts: Monday. 1912.

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-averige. Because of the low Bu reau, bullr attached much importance to the dry weather In Texas and Ok lahoma since July 35, 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, bjg crop people dug into the record and found that be tween April 15 and July 25 the Tetri'? rainfall amounted in 1914 to 7.53 Inches, in 1912 to 7.59 inches, in 1911 to 7.56 inches From these figures they drew the deduet Ion 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 whoD is really excellent. However, (he consumer <>f 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 rear He is also slower to act Thus, to-day or Monday the market may show strength as the result of buying for consumer*’ account.” ' CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—The advancing tendency of porn prices Was unchecked at the opening to-day, there being noth ing in tho news coming forward to war rant lower prices for this cereal.

Shorts were the best buyers in the pit at the opening and prices were 1 l * to Die 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 corn. The strength and higher prices ruling in corn carried wheat % to %c higher, September selling at %c higher. There .was a holiday at Liverpool. Repdrts 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 hog prod ucts. and this, coupled with a weak hog market, caused provisions to sell lower. Grain quotations: Previous High. Low. Close.
