f L >, * 4 ATI,A' 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.” LOS ANGELES TO|LEEISUTUHE TO IF J V.

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.

Johnson, of the Co- ! lonial Life Insurance Company, and his wife, Mrs. Harriet L. Johnson, in the Supreme Court at White Plains.

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. DEPDTS TB BL OPENED SOON Dairymen Eager to Learn Details of Plan of Commission of Medical Association. Special Cable to^The American.

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 hibit in Atlanta. The exhibit is call ed the Southern Railroad Dairy In struction Association. Farmers and dairymen attending will be fully in structed as to just what constitutes ideal conditions which promote health.” War on Jacksonville Restricted District Court Complaint Is Filed Against Property Owners Who Rent Houses to Women.
