WILSON: GETS
President's Demand for Currency
Act Means Republicans Will
Delay Vote on Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Senators
came to the Capitol to-day prepared
to remain on the job until November,
following: the indorsement by the
Democratic caucu? last night of Pres
ident Wilson's demand for curren^v
legislation at this session of Con
gress.
Republican Senators have publicly
refused to agree to a date on whicn
to vote on the tariff bill. The sole
condition on which they have agreed
heretofore, in cloakroom talk, to vote
on the tariff bill before September 1
has been that the specter of currency
legislation be driven away.
But the Senate majority has knuck
led down to Presf ent Wilson on this
question, and the Republicans will
be able to dictate the speed wl-h
which legislation will be handled.
Progressive Republicans will have
an inning, urging tha adoption of the
inheritance tax and tariff commis
sion amendments to the tariff bill. The
discussion of these wi n require i
week or more. Extended discussion
of the income tax section is promised
also.
The informal agreement to go ahead
with currency legislation means, it is
predicted, that the tariff bill will not
be disposed of b< 'ore October 1. Cur
rency legislation will require, accord
ing to Senate prophets, at least a
month after.

Doctor Gives Hope
To Childless Women
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, Aug. 15. — Hope for
childless women was held out in a
remarkable statement by Dr. Vero-
noff. of Nice, before the International
Medical Congress. He said that in
his experiments of transplanting vital
organs of one animal to another he
had enable a barren ewe to give birth
to a lamb. /
“I hold,” he asserted, "that my ex
periments can be applied to human
beings—indeed, it’s easier to graft
certain parts with human beings than
with animals. The only thing nec
essary Is affinity of the blood of the
two persons of the same race—or
better still, of one family.
Cleanest Faced Boy
Falls From Grace
GARY, 1ND., Aug 16.—“Andy” Hat
rack, the 13-year-old Italian boy why
won the red necktie and world-wide
fame in the clean-face contest in th*s
Gary schools, has fallen from' grace.
Neither “Andy’s” former shining fa*.*-
nor his bright necktie would be rec
ognized since school let out for the
summer vacation and Miss Laura
Knaggs. his teacher, left Gary.
He has played all summer with
other Italian boys, and his face and
necktie resemble theirs.
Notwithstanding the tact that sev
eral members- of the Atlanta bar
have committed themselves to “an
Atlanta lawyer,” unnamed, for the
newly created Atlanta Superior Court
Judgeship, and that this movement is
considered generally to be directed
against Judge L. S. Roan as the prob
able appointee, the impression pre
vails that Governor Slaton unques
tionably will name Judge Roan for
the place.
Judge Roan, although nominally the
judge of the Stone Mountain Circuit,
has presided for several years as
judge of the criminal division of the
Atlanta Circuit, and has given very
great satisfaction. Inasmuch as the
new judgeship is to be a criminal
judgeship, many members of the At
lanta bar think Judge Roan is the
logical man for the honor, and the>
are backing him according y.
During his service as judge of the
criminal division in Atlanta, he has
tried many noted criminal cases—the
Grace and the Appelbaum cases being
two of the most noted—and his rep
utation for fairness and justice is
well established.
Already a large number of Atlanta
attorneys have indorsed J ldge Roan
to Governor Slaton, and It is thought
more than likely that his appointment
will be announced within a few days.
Uncle Sam collected $344,424,453

32,764.155 packs of cards were sold,
an increase of 1,952,475. The tax was
$655,283.

FORMER COUNTY CLERK DEAD.
VIDALIA.—J. D. Collins is dead at
his home in Lyons, Toombs County.
He was a native of Tattnall County

65 years of age. Mr. Collins was the
father of Judge E. C. Collins, of
Reictaville, and leaves several other

Youth Confesses Mania to Own
Car Led Him to Murder
His Chum.
CHAMPAIGN, ILL., Aug, 15.—After
his first night's sleep since last Fri
day Gust Penman, son of a wealthy
farmer, to-day told the Champaign
County jail officials that he was ready
to make a sworn confession of the
murder of his chum, Harold A. Shaw.
Penman was brought here last night
from Danville, where he was caught
by Amos Milholland, 80, a veteran of
the Civil War and the Indian cam
paign in the West, who is a mail car
rier and justice of the peace at Ridge
Farm, near Danville.
After a weak denial of his identity
the young man, a nervous wreck,
flayed by conscience, starved to the
point of collapse and in high fever
from exposure and fatigue, broke
down and made a most extraordinary
confession of his crime.
He killed his friend in a drunken
delirium to get Shaw’s automobile, he
said.
Penman told how after he eluded
the vigilantes who swarmed the
countryside and had virtually made
good his escape from the environs of
the killing, his conscience would not
let him carry out, his plans to evade
justice in a flight to South America.
Gainesville Assists

State Board of Health to visit the
county in the fight being waged
against the hookworm.
This is the Rockefeller Hookworm

PILGRIM SHAFT UNVEILED.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
SOUTHAMPTON. ENG., Aug 15
—A monument to the memory of the
Pilgrim fathers, who settled in New
England, was unveiled here to-day by
United States Ambassador Page. A
number of Americans were present.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 15.—Bitter
protests were made here to-day by
prominent Mexicans following pub
lic allegations that President Huerta
is attempting to place the vast rail
way resources of Mexico virtually in
pawn to raise funds for the Govern
ment. Agents said to represent
Huerta nave approached foreign finan
cial groups for loans, the collateral
of which will be blanket mortgages
on Government railway lines.
That the present disagreeable rela
tions between Mexico and the United
States would be heightened by such
action is apparent, as Americans have
heavy financial holdings in railways
and other Mexican securities which
would be bound to be affected by the
mortgaging of railway properties.
Gets Rid of Popular Men.
There is a feeling that if the peace
misison of Special Envoy John Lind
fails the present condition of affairs
will be stretched out indefinitely
President Huerta has begun to pre
pare for the October election by tak
ing steps to secure his own re-elec
tion. He is sending the strong, popu
lar men out of the country.
fienor de la Barra, who has the
confidence of the people, is now In
New York en route for France, where
he will act as the Mexican Ambassa
dor; Colonel Felix Diaz, whose name
carries magic power and who has a
big following, is en route to Japan,
and can not possibly return here be
fore the election if it is held on sched
uled time.
Future Full of Menace.
As fast as one section of the coun
try is pacified Huerta fills it with sol
diers to control the election machin
ery. All the President’s appointees
are army men. It is believed here
that so long as Huerta is in the chair
the United States will not recognize
this Government. Thus the end is
probably far off and filled with men-
'e.
A Mexican newspaper printed the
tumor that Henry Lane Wilson, for
mer United States Ambassador to
Mexico, will probably return here and
engage in business.
Wilson Will Reply to
Censure by President.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—“I do not
know what the next step will be. I
do not expect to take any action to
day, hut I shall make an answer to
the President’s censure at the proper
time.”
This was the statement made to
day by Henry Lane \Vi\son, Ambas
sador to Mexico on leave.
Reports are current that Ambassa
dor Wilson will not submit tamely to
the rebuke administered to him last
night by the President; that he con
fidently expected to be dismissed
when he issued his statement, and
that he welcomed the opportunity to
sever his connection with the diplo
matic Service, so that he could air his
views regarding Mexico.
Millions Hinge on
Kodak Case Verdict
BUFFALO. N. Y.. Aug. 15.—Mil
lions of cTollars may hinge upon the
decision of Judge John R. Hazel here,
in which he finds the Eastman Kodak
Company guilty of having infringed
upon eleven out of the twelve claims
of the Goodwin Film and Came p .i
Company on a process for manufac
turing transparent, flexible photo
graphic film pellicles and declares
the complainant is “entitled to an av
counting."
As the kodak company is alleged
have been infringing upon this patent
for years, the “accounting” for th.
billions of film rolls it has sold will
be tremendous.
Don’t Poison Baby.
ET0RTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have
■ PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce
sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH
THERE IS HO WAKIHG. Many are the children who have been killed or
whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each
of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling
cither of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling
them M poison.” The definition of 11 narcotic ” is: “A medicine which relieves pain*
and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convul
sions and death. ” The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised,
and sold under the names of “ Drops,” “ Cordials,” “ Soothing Syrups,” etc. You.
should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or
your physician know of what it is composed. CAST0RIA DOES NOT CON
TAIN NARCOTICS, if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.
