Committee will act as a unit in de manding that the Senate p.lsh a bill which will revolutionize the present taxing methods in Georgia. That the measure or measures will be pre pared, presented and passed before the close of the session is assured. This was Indicated strongly Mon day afternoon when the Senate con curred in every recommendation of the Appropriation Committee slash ing off $280,000 from the House gen eral appropriation bill. As was expected* some opposition developed and several drastic amend ments, including $30,000 to the Medi cal College at Augusta, were offered. The attempts were hopeless, how ever. for the well-oiled machinery of the Appropriations Committee was never in better running order. As a result one amendment after another was voted down. The committee’s work had received the indorsement of the majority long before the report was made in the Senate. Colleges Get Funds. Among the amendments defeated were those of Senator Tarver, of the Forty-third, providing for a Tech ap propriation of $70,000, instead of $74.- 400. as recommended by the commit tee. and the amendment of Senator Smith, of the Ninth, who proposed to strike out the entire appropriation of $30,000 to the Augusta Medical College. Senator Olliff, of the Fourth, made a flght on the committee amendments cutting the common school fund to $2,371,500. He proposed as a substi tute that the appropriation be raised to $2,500,000, or $50,000 less than the appropriation made by the House. When the vote wus taken, however, the committee amendment won by a good majority. Among the committee amendments adopted were the following: Unlver- sity of Georgia. *52,500 to $48,725; Tech. $80,000 to $74,400; Agricultural College at Dahlonega, $21,500 to $19,- 995, State Normal School at Athens, $47,500 to $44,175; State Agricultural College. $100,000 to $03,000; Georgia Medical College, $30,000 to $27,900; common school fund, $2,550,000 to $2,371,500.

Bill Sent Back to the House for Concurrence—Pension Fund Stumbling Block. After a fight on the cut in the pension appropriation the Georgia Senate Tuesday morning concurred in the complete report by the Senate Appropriations Commltt© slashing the House general appropriations bill approximately $280,000. The vote was 36 to 3. The bill passed by the Senate makes 'current disbursements balance ex actly. with current revenues and Is In line with the recommendations of Governor Slaton. The bill will be referred back to the House for ap proval. The flght on the pension cut was spicy at times, but the committee amendments went through by a vote of 29 to 10. Senator McNeill, of the Twenty- second, in supporting the cut, charged Senator Tarver, of the Forty-third, who opposed it, with inconsistency and intimated that Tarver was play ing politics. He made a vigorous defense of the cut on the ground that whereas the State to-day is paying more than $1,000,000 dollars for the support of the old soldiers, In 1876, just a few’ years after the war, she paid only $75,000. Bogus Claims Charged. Senator McNeill charged further that the increase was the result of "bogus claims" filed and approved by the Pension Department under the present inadequate law. Senator McGregor, of the Nine teenth, a commissioned of the Old Soldiers’ Home, declared he agreed with Senator McNeill because he knew that every Confederate soldier was ready and willing to help the State out of its financial difficulties to the extent of having his own al lowance cut. The t cut as adopted to tals $74,900. Senator Ollff, of the Fourth, also made an unsuccessful fight on the committee’s recommendation for a cattle tick eradication fund of $15,000. and on th P hog cholera serum fund of $5,000. The children of the State who attend the common schools, the Sen ator declared, should be provided for before the cattle.

Watts Bill Recommended. The Committee on Constitutional Amendments Tuesday recommended the passage of Senator Watts’ bill providing for the abolition by local option of the office of County Treas urer.

Another bill offered by Senator Kelley, of the Eighteenth, makes all free rural route* public highways.

Anderson, in addressing the thirty- first annual supreme convention of the Knights of Columbus here to-day, said in part: “It is well for us to learn from the experiences of Europe the dangers that threaten us here. We see how the enemies of religion fully realize the power of organization, and, profit ing by the apathy and indifference of Catholics, have managed to gain con trol in Europe of the reins of govern ment and ttye public press, with the result that they have been able to enact unjust laws and shape public opinion against her. The people have remained—through lack of or ganization and through long inac tivity and indifference to their condi tion—hopeless and helpless. Takes Up Social Question. "There is one great problem that perplexes the world to-day, in which the church is deeply interested be cause it affects not only the welfare of her own members, but the general welfare of society. It is the social question. "The desire and effort of men to improve their social conditions, so long ignored and abused by the pow erful and rich in every land, have so fired men with frenzied passion that they have been captivated with the program and principles of reform presented to them by Socialism and by the methods of physical force of fered by anarchy. "The material benefits to be de rived from these efforts of reform have caused them not only to ignore religion, but to consider it a hin drance to success. This hatred and contempt for the church and Christ has been due to the principles taught the struggling masses by such the ories as the descent of man from the ape and the materialistic conception of history. This pagan view of life holds sway in men’s minds. Urges Knights to Co-operate. "Fortunately there Is an awaken ing in this country to this danger that threatens the welfare and se curity of society and there is an ear nest desire on the part of all right- minded and public-spirited men to seek the solution of these social problems. "What, then, is your duty as Cath- . olic Knights in this great problem? It is to take your place in answer to the appeal of the Holy Father and in response to President Wilson’s ap peal to co-operate for a solution of these evils." The thirty-first annual convention of the Knights of Columbus was for mally called to order on the deck of the harbor steamer Ross Standish to day as that vessel, with several thous and knights aboard, was bearing the delegates and supreme officers across the harbor In the sunlight toward Nantasket, where the knights will spend the afternoon and evening. Mayor John F. Fitzgerald delivered the address of welcome and the re sponse was made by Supreme Knight James A. Flaherty, of Philadelphia.

First prices were unchanged to 2 points lower than Monday’s final. Later prices eased off sharply. There was an absence of spec ulative demand and the demand from spinners was also very light. English operators are again discuss ing the Clarke amendment. A conserva tive interest writes: "It seems absurd to think that the Clarke bill could be come a law. If it should, it would be a , strong bear card, probably the very J thing the South believes it will not be. We doubt If sales ahead are anything like w'hat they have been the past two or three days. We also hope that China gets settled soon, as the disturbances there have caused orders to be with drawn.” Scattered short covering developed in the forenoon, which seemed to come hfefly from recent sellers. Spot houses were also active buyers, but those In clined to the buying side find ready sales on any hard spots and sentiment against the market. Prices, how ever, rallied a few points frogi the in itial low point. The buying movement was probably based on a Texas wire which stated that unless Texas gets general soaking rains it will not help « bear any. Plant smallest ever known and shedding badly. The weekly weather report published at noon to-day was moderately bullish and brought out active buying from spot interests and a slight rally fol lowed. However, the selling was rather general with no special support. The volume of trading was small and the market again eased off under the pres sure. Wall street and the uptown crowd were the leading sellers. Liverpool also has been a seller in this market to-day. In the cotton belt, from Louisiana and Arkansas eastward, the weather was favorable during most of the week. Temperatures were near the normal and frequent showers afforded sufficient moisture over the greater portion of the States. In Oklahoma there was practi cally no rain and vegetation Is now suf fering in all parts of the State and se rious damage is threatened in many por tions. In Texas there were moderate showers over much of the State, but the amounts were insufficient and a se vere drouth still persists in portions of the South and East.

The sell ing indulged in was largely in the way of securing profits, but some corn woe sold in the belief that the long drawn- out drouth is to he broken, which will cause sharp losses in com values. While the wheat market showed some steadiness early losses of Vs to %c were recorded, the weakness In the corn mar ket serving to a large extent in bring ing out the recessions in w’heat. Liver pool reported the weakness in America as being offset by unfavorable harvest weather, and the delayed movement throughout Europe. The European visible supply decreased 2,488,000 bushels last week, against a decrease of 3,700,000 bushels for a cor responding time last year. The foreign crop summary for the week is generally favorable. Northwestern receipts were again light, but slightly in excess of last year. Receipts at Winnipeg were also light. Oats displayed more strength than did e other cereals, but there were de clines of % to %c in this market. The nght losses were caused by the weak ness in the cotton market. Pork sold slightly lower, but the bal ance of the provision list was stronger. Grain quotations: High. WHEAT— 7% 91% 96% 70% 67% 69 42% 44% Sept. Dec.. Mty. CORN— Sept. Dec., May. OATS— Sept. Dec. .
