OIL LETTERS
A nna PAVLOWA, noted
Russian dancer, who has
quarrel with her dancing part
ner on London stage,
Exposes by William Randolph
Hearst Responsible for Down
fall, Declares Former Senator
Before Senate Lobby Inquiry.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9— Former
Senator Foraker admitted to the
Senate Lobby Committee to-day pub
lication by William Randolph Hearst
of the famous Standard Oil letters
killed Foraker’s chances for re-elec
tion to the Senate in 1908.
After identifying a letter received
from Martin M. Mitchell, the con
fessed ex-lobbyist, making a report
of political activities in Ohio in For
aker’s behalf, the former Senator
said: 0
“It was the morning of the day Mr.
Hearst’s disclosure was made public.
An attack had been made on me oy
Mr. Hearst which destroyed my
chances of election, saying I had
acted as counsel for the Standard Oil
Company. This had created a senti
ment in our State very prejudicial to
me. I continued as a candidate in the
campaign only because to retire from
it after I had become a candidate
would look like an admission that
there was some justification for the
attack, whereas there wao not any.”
Senator Foraker said Muhall, whom
he had known thirty years, greatly
overestimated his own importance.
No itom N. A. M.
Foraker said he had never received
aid from the National Association .<f
Manufacturers and while he received
a fee of $500 lor the part he played
in the sale of the Union Pacific Rail
road in 1896, he was not in the em
ploy of either David Lamar or Ed •
ward Lauterbach in an injunction
case against lb'' Union Pacific in
1903.
The House Investigating Commit
tee opened its probe with introduction
of correspondence showing the activi
ties of the Nation-*: Association of
Manufacturers in fighting labor legis
lation in Congress and various at
tempts to have “conservative” men
named as members of House commit
tees.
Discussing the recent sundry civil
bill, with its provision prohibiting the
expenditure of certain funds for the
prosecution of farmers and labor
unions under the Sherman law', James
A. Emery, counsel of the N. A. M.,
wrote to President John Kirby, Jr.,
of the association, on March 7, 1913,
after President Taft had vetoed the
bill:
“I want to emphasize as hard as I
can the importance of lining up for
a tremendous demonstration when
this bill reaches President Wilson, as
it undoubtedly will, with the same
provision ii. it. You will then have
an early opportunity to decide wheth
er the glittering Democratic motto,
‘Equal right for all and special
privilege for none,' means anything
or whether the Administration has
surrendered completely or w r ill merely
turn over the Department of Labor.
Objection to Secretary Wilson.
“I note, by the way, your reference
to a letter from C. W. Post on the
question of a protest over the ap
pointment of Wilson (Secretary of
Labor). A protest on this subject
is a mere waste of breath, and on
the whole I am inclined to think
the whole purpose of this depart
ment will be shown up quicker with
the unions in control of it than in
any other way. Gompers will run it
characteristically with a high hand,
and if the whole thing does not smeil
to Heaven within a year I shall be
very much astonished.
“By that time Democrats simplic
ity will probably mean a onion label
on the White House stationery and
the President conferring with the
Waiters’ Union over the appointment
of his steward. At present we have
nothing more startling in Jeffersonian
simplicity than the news Mrs. Bry in
is making a new suit for the Secre
tary of State, and cakes and ginger
ale will b- served at the dinner for
the British Ambassador. Toothpicks
will, of course, be an after dinner
course at all Cabinet receptions, and
the demand for dress suits will be
confified to waiters in the hotels.”
In this same letter Emery advised
Kirby, “if you have any idea '"’aft
would have vetoed this bill of his own
motion, get over it. A list of public*
men who had ‘pie’ in this $113,000,000
appropriation bill included many
prominent men in both Houses.”

Pavlowa Strikes Her
Partner; Stops Dance
Quarrel With Novikoff on London
Stage Is Like Falling Out
With Mordkin.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 9.—Pavlowa caused
a sensation at the Palace Theater to
night by an open quarrel with her
dancing partner, Novikoff, the inci
dent being parallel with her rupture
with Mordkin last year.
While dancing Adagio, Pavlowa
suddenly hit Novikoff a smart blow
on the shoulder. Novikoff imme
diately left the stage while Pavlowa
walked off by the opposite side, the
orchestra finishing the piece to an
empty stage. Pavlowa afterward per
formed two solo dances, but Novikoff
did not appear again.
Organ Concert for

Charles A. Sheldon Has Arranged
Light Program Especially for
Benefit of Visitors.
Business men in attendance on the
Southern Merchants’ Convention will
be given a free organ concert at the
Auditorium by Charles A. Sheldon,
under the auspices of the Atlanta

inspired by the fact that a great
number of visitors are here for the
convention who might otherwise find
a long, hot Sunday afternoon rather
dull.
A program of light and popular
airs befitting a warm day has been
arranged, including a scries of varia
tions of the old melody, “Old Folks
at Home,” which, it is pronounced,
will be the feature. Marches, popu
lar interpretative bits, and but a sin
gle classical number, the prelude to
“Lohengrin,” will make up the pro
gram.

Program Will Carry.
LOS ANGELAS. Aur. 9—On Man-
day at 12 o’clock will commence the
ceremony of the placing of the cor
nerstone of the new Los Angeles Ex
aminer building at Eleventh and
Broadway.
Because the spirit of California has
made this building possible, part of
this ceremony will be the raising of
the California Bea flag over the
great edifice now already partically
completed. The event will marl; the
progress of a great newspaper in a
great city. Planned under the aus
pices of the Advertising Club of I -
Angeles, and representative business
men, the program for the cornerstone
laying reaches broad and comprehen
sive proportions.
Great Chorus to Sing,
The music of four great massed
bands will sound patriotically at the
appearance of the flag. Madame Es
ther Palliser, the famous prima donna
will sing the new song of Southland
progress written for the occasion by
Miles Overholt, and a chorus of lOfl
trained voices will mark the laying
of the cornerstone.
From the lips of one who has made
a great mark in America’s history
will come the final address of faith
in Los Angeles and its people—Wil
liam Randolph Hearst.
There will come, too, during this
ceremony a novel procedure calcu
lated to remind the younger genera
tion of the event. A motion picture
will be taken of the event, showing
the ceremony and surrounding trong.
Immediately after the picture has
been taken, the film will be developed
with all haste and within a few hours
a hermetically sealed canisder will be
placed in the cornerstone.
To William Randolph Hearst will
be presented by Mayor Rose the silver
trowel of the cornerstone laying. The
opening words of the ceremony will
be spoken by the Rev. Charles Ed
ward Locke, who will be presented by
Ernest Ingold. Then James R. H.
Wagner will come to the platform and
present to A. W. Kinney, president of
the Chamber of Commerce on behalf
of the people of Losi Angeles and the
Los Angeles Examiner, the Califor
nia Bear flag.
Mr. Hearst to Speak.
After Mr. Kinney’s reply to this, the
Rev. George Donahue, acting for
Bishop Conaly. will speak. The Rt?
Rev. Joseph H. Johnson, Episcopal
Bishop, of Los Angeles, will give an
address. After the speech of Mr
Hearst. Dr. Sigmund Hecht will say
the closing word.
Before the ceremony at the new
building, an escort with Chief of Po
lice Sebastian acting as grand mar
shal. will proceed from Central Park
to the old Examiner building at Fifth
and Broadway. Here ^ayor Rose,
the speakers and Mr. Hearst will join
the party and be escorted down
Broadway to The Examiner’s new
site and the scene of the cornerstone
laying.
Husband Says She
Kissed Counts Foot
Wife Brings Counter Charge That He
Is Unduly Friendly With
Stepmother.
NEW YORK, Aug 9.—Counter suits
have been instituted in divorce proceed
ings by Harold D. Johnson, of the Co- !
lonial Life Insurance Company, and his
wife, Mrs. Harriet L. Johnson, in the
Supreme Court at White Plains.
The husband alleges that his wife is
so infatuated with a certain Italian
count that she frequently kissed his
foot.
Mrs. Johnson alleges undue intimacy
on the part of her husband with her
stepmother, who is designated in the
complaint as "one Anna J. R.’’
Johnson has entered a general denial ;
to his wife’s charges, while the wife’s ;
attorney, Mirabeau Towns, ridiculed the
foot-kissing episodes complained of by i
Johnson.
Steamer’s Crew Deny
Sighting ‘Titanic’
Officers Say Wreckage They Saw
Was Sixty Miles South of
Disaster Scene.
Special Cable to The American.
SOUTH SHIELD. Aug. 9.—Officers*«f
the steamer Luciline, w’hich has arrived
here, deny the report that they saw the
Titanic wreck apparently resting on top
of a ledge of rocks. What they saw
during their trip from Bordeaux to Phil
adelphia was some wreckage consisting
of a part of a mast and some gear that I
was probably attached to a submerged \
object. Thfty were 60 miles south of the
scene of the Titanic disaster, although |
in the same longitude. They discredit j
the supposition ihat the Titanic rests
upon a submerged reef. I
Completely changing its attitude to
ward the reform measures advocated
by Governor Slaton, the Georgia Leg
islature is preparing to line up solid
ly behind him and put through a
portion, at least, of the program of
constructive legislation that he ad
vocated in his platform and in his
messages.
Adminstration bills that were de
feated last week, following the fight
ensuing on the attempt to bring out
the Hixon-Searcy liquor bill, and the
filibuster that frustrated it, again
will be placed on the House calendar
before the Legislature adjourns
Thursday.
The forces of the administration,
led by Speaker Burwell and the
members of the Ways and Means
Committee, will center their efforts on
three bills that were defeated last
week. These bills offer the people
of the State an opportunity to vote
upon constitutional amendments that
would, if passed, put the taxation
system of the State upon a solid busi
ness basis, and that would relieve the
unfortunate conditions that have
arisen since the State has found itself
unable to pay the country school
teachers.
Two of these amendments provide
that the school levy each year shall
be limited to 2 1-2 mills, and that the
pension levy shall not exceed 11-2
mills. The third provides for an addi
tional tax levy of 1 mill in 1915 an<J
1-2 mill in 1916, w'hich would not
materially increase the taxes of any
property owner in the State.
Introducion Ill-Timed.
Neither of the three bills was de
feated overwhelmingly, each lacking
only a few votes of receiving the
required two-thirds majority. The
bills were introduced at an unfortu
nate time, immediately after the de
feat of the Kidd resolution calling
the Hixon-Searcy bill out of com
mittee, and many of the extreme pro
hibitionists in the House allied them
selves with the opponents of any
kind of tax reform and voted against
the measures, through a mistaken
idea that Speaker Burwell had not
acted according to the rules in de
claring the Kidd resolution out of or
der.
Within the pa.st few days, however,
the warring factions have gotten to
gether. and now Mr. Kidd stands al
most alone in his desir e to get the
Hixon-Searcy bill out for action at
this session, it being a generally ac
cepted fact that the bill could not
by any chance pass the House, and
that its introduction would only re
sult in tying up the House and ren
dering impossible legislation of any
kind.
Representative Akin, of Glenn
County, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee and a member of
the Rules Committee, said Saturday
that the committee probably would
try to bring the school and pension
levies before the House Monday or
Tuesday. Leaders in the House de
clare that both the bills have an ex
cellent chance of passing, inasmuch
as there is nothing in them to of
fend the enemies of tax reform, as
they neither lower nor raise the
present rate of taxation. They merely
provide for a businesslike disposi
tion of the revenue.
Seek Reconsideration.
There is more opposition to the
proposal for an additional tax levy
than there is to the other two bills.
An effort probably will be nmd<- Mon
day or Tuesday to induce the House
to reconsider its action in defeating
this measure, and if this can be dope,
strenuous efforts will be made to se
cure its passage when it again is
brought before the House. The friends
of this bill, if they can secure its
reconsideration, probably will gain
many votes with the argument that
no action the House could take on it
would actually call for the additional
levy. Its passage by the House would
merely give the per pie of the State
an opportunity to vote whether they
wished to increase the taxes a small
amount in order to pay its teachers,
or continue to stand out as the only
State in the United that permits its
employees to remain unpaid for six
and eight months at a time.
The Senate has about cleaned up
its work, and is waiting for the action
of the House on important measures.
The Sheppard i'ubstitute to the
Lipscomb bill that recently passed
the House probably will be taken up
by th^ Senate within a day or two,
and indications are that it will be de
feated. The Senate committee that
considered the bill has prepared a
substitute to the Sheppard substitute
which provides for a State Tax Com
missioner and County Boards of
Equalization. This probably will be
passed by the Senate.

Members of the Certified Milk Com
mission during the past few days
have been approached by dairymen
from all parts of Fulton County who
are much interested in the move
ment to provide certified milk.
As outlined in the project, certified
milk will command possibly 15 cents
per quart. This price has been de
cided upon by the commission, which
was recently appointed by the local
medical association. At least three
certified milk depots will be opened
In Atlanta in a short time. The quali
fications of milk necessary to receive
certification are many and are based
on rigid hygienic conditions of milk
ers, cows, dairies and milk depots.
The cows will all bp examined by doc
tors to ascertain whether or not any
tuberculosis infection is present.
Certified milk, it is stated, will
keep in cold storage for a period
of 30 days. Dr. S. A. Visanska, who
has been active in the movement to
gain certified milk, stated Saturday
that Louisville now had a number of
certified milk depots which were do
ing a thriving business.
“Certified milk was introduced in
Louisville several years ago,” said
Dr. Visanska. “At that time there
were only two certified depots, but as
the number of certified depots grew,
disease of all nature has decreased,
especially as regards infants.
“On August 23 and 24 the State
Dairy Association will have aif ex
