ihtj ijjAJsrrA LIN AND NEWS MB’I Oil ipaign to Place Atlantan on iNew Circuit Bench Joined by Lawyers. movement inaugurated among awyers of the Atlanta bar to have Df their number appointed to the ► judgeship of the Atlanta Circuit jhtly created by the Legislature Mins to be gaining weight and im portance. if Already more than a majority of the active members of the bar have "signed a request to the Governor to ftliat effect, and others are joining the I movement daily. The signers want Ian Atlanta man for an Atlanta judge- i ship, and their contention is ap- 1 parently growing in popularity. Hollins N. Randolph, chairman of the committee of 25 members of the Atlanta bar, when seen Saturday by . a Georgian reporter, said: New Law Misinterpreted. •••*: •• “There seems to be a,rather gen eral impression that they act creating the Fourth Division f the Superior Court of Fulton terminates the right of the, judge of the Stone Mountain CjflMmt to preside in the Superior Cmirt of the Atlanta Cir cuit, Jwfftr^tnis is not true. act recently passed creating tne new judgeship is almost identi cal with the act providing for the third judge of the Superior Court of the Atlanta Circuit, and neither in terms nor by implication does it re peal the act of 1885 creating the Stone Mountain Circuit. The result will be that the judge of the Stone Mountain Circuit will continue to preside in the criminal division of the Superior Court of Fulton County (or such other division as he may be assigned to), even after the appointment of the fourth judge of the Atlanta Cir cuit. No Reflection on Roan. P' “It should be steadily borne in *mind that this movement is in no ■sense whatever an attack upon the •^present able and conscientious judge ■ of the Stone Mountain Circuit, Hon. ■ L. S. Roan. We all entertain for him ■ sentiments of high regard and es- I teem, and the fact that w r e are irre- I vorably committed to the principle of 1 Jpft.me rule for judges—an Atlanta man vfor an Atlanta judge—does not in ■ any way militate against the esteem * in which we hold Judge Roan.” The committee in charge of the ^matter is as follow’s: H.

Smith over the question of a postponement of the case of Mrs. B. E. Carroll, of No. 15 Houston street, charged with conducting a boarding house without a license, Mrs. Carroll again will be arraigned before Judge Preston Sat urday afternoon. Smith declared he would move to disqualify the Recorder Pro Tem on the ground that he has assumed the role of prosecuting attorney in the case of Mrs. Carroll.

L. Worsham, State Entomologist. ;*.,t the Capitol Saturday. According to Dr. Worsham the boll weevil, which has been making such great ravages on the cotton crop in Alabama is w’ithin 30 miles of the Georgia line and the department ex pects the boll weevil to Invade three counties in Georgia before the first frost. The Legislature, which has just adjourned, placed in the hands of the State Entomologist the question of quarantining. The Entomologist lifted the quarantine against cotton lint and cotton seed hulls, which it has been proven do not transmit the boll weevil, but he will enforce a strict quarantine against seed cot ton and cotton seed from all infected points. Members of the Cotton Seed Cru^h- ertf Association of Georgia are co operating in every way possible to aid the Department of Entomology and the faripers to keep the boll wee vil out of the State. The cotton oil mills of Georgia are beginning their fall rush and the out look is good for a splendid season. England to Play ‘Big Brother’ to Turkey Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.

The success of the first monthly luncheon of the Atlanta Real Estate Board under President Harris G. White has led to the suggestion that the real estate men should gather every two weeks. Fifty land brokers attended the function at the Hotel Ansley Friday, and enthusiasm ran high. The luncheon was held in the convention hall, on the eleventh floor of the hotel, because additional ac commodations were needed for the crowd. Charles P.

STEADIES COTTON Firm Cables and Week-End Cov ering Stimulates Wheat, but Change Is Sinai L NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—Reports or half an inch of rainfall over the Okla homa belt lessened the strong influence of Liverpool cables to-day, and the cot ton market opened only 2 to 6 points higher than Friday’s final, whereas Liv erpool was 4 to 6 points fcigher. Ordi narily such strength in Liverpool would have caused much higher prices here. There was some unloading on weather reports, but prices were only lowered 2 to 4 points from the opening range. The ring, however, were inclined to sell rather freely on rains in Oklahoma and predictions by Kofler, of New Orleans, for more rain in Oklahoma and better prospects for Texas. Offerings were readily absorbed by the leaders who bought yesterday. A sudden short covering movement prevailed during the last hour, based on the Government forecast of fair weather in Oklahoma and Texas over Sunday, resulting in prices recovering the early decline and advancing some 4 to 8 points higher than the initial level. At the close the market was steady with prices at a net adance of 3 to 6 oints from the closing quotations of Government loses in suit to dissolve magazine trust.

Death Was Accident, Grubb Family Says; Suicide Story Denied That Andrew J. Grubb’s death was not a suicide is the statement made by members of his family, who assert that it resulted from an overdose of strych nine, which the deceased had taken on account of heart trouble. Mr. Grubb died Thursday morning at the family home on DeKalb avenue. North Decatur, while the other mem bers of his family were attending the funeral of his favorite sister, Mrs. So phia Smith. Owing to the condition of his heart, Mr. Grubb had remained at home, fearful lest he be overcome at the funeral. At home with him was his 19-year-old son, Harvey Grubb. According to his family, Mr. Grubb had suffered with heart trouble for many eyars and had been compelled to take strychnine to get relief. The only way In which he could get the strych nine without a doctor’s prescription was to tell the pharmacist that he wanted it for the purpose of killing a dog. Thurs day morning he obtained the strychnine in this manner, which his family says started the suicide rumor.

Stelnburg, wanted in Arkansas on charges of embezzlement, were hon ored by Governor Slaton late Friday, following a stubbornly contested hear ing. Sheriff Sam D. Crawford, of an Arkansas county, left with the prisoner at midnight to forestall ha beas corpus proceedings. Stelnburg, who is just 22 years of age, was released last Wednesday from the Federal Prison, where he was confined nine months upon con viction in New York. Hardly had he stepped from the prison door when he was arrested by a local deputy, who served a warrant sworn out in Arkansas. Stelnburg retained coun sel to fight the extradition. He was represented by .the firm of Napier, Wright A Wood. In rendering his opinion, Governor Slaton declared he had no option in the matter, as the defendant was clearly a fugitive from justice. Ac cording to Sheriff Crawford, Stein- burg is wanted badly In Arkansas, and probably will get something like ten years on four separate charges.

The fall in tem perature is from 10 to 20 degrees. The central and east central part of the State reported rain, while cloudiness was reported from all of the western half of the State, with the exception of the extreme southwestern counties. Oklahoma, Cleveland, Potawatomie, Tulsa. Muskogee, Payne. Creek and Ok mulgee Counties each reported a half inch of rain. Light showers fell at Cleveland.’’ • • • Times-Democrat has following from Dallas: “Crops have not been injured seriously by dry weather, but rains within the next week In most sections of the State to prevent crop losses, accord ing to reports to-day from every section of Texas. The weather has played a trick this year by an unusual amount of local rains, which has given one farmer an abundance of rain and his Di a few r miles away scarcely a drop. Many localities in north and northeast Texas and along Oklahoma border predict 20 per cent deterioration in cotton unless rains come quickly.” • t • MEMPHIS, TENN.. Aug. 16.—J. B. Turner crop summary for week ending August 16: “Quite favorable weather for cotton prevailed in the two Caro lina* and Georgia during the week and excellent results were secured in field growth and general development. Show ers at the end of the week were help ful and another favorable week is fore casted from the present moisture sup ply In Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Louisiana ome small deterioration is noted, though it is doubtful if the losses are any greater. If, indeed, great, as those usually occurring at this period when the plant approaches maturity. Shedding is reported, due in most instances to lack or moisture and in Louisiana considerably Increased boll weevil damage In Texas and Okla homa and over about one-half of Arkan sas heavy losses occurred, and the plant Is fast running into a state of decline that can not be recovered ever with fa vorable weather and abundant rainfall. Permanent and irreparable loss has, h-wever, just begun, except In un favored localities, and if rain comes during next week, in general and heavy fall, great good will he done. Greatest loss has occurred in Oklahoma, but over a large area in these three States the f >Iant shows arrested development and s rapidly losing vitality, and thus can not properly mature the fruit that has been set.” NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 16.—Efforts to ward a short scare were evidently made in Liverpool, also where futures ad vanced 5 points more than due, while spots are quoted 10 points higher; sales, 8,000 bales. Anticipation of a bullish Tlmes-Dem- ocrat report Monday on the western States with the usual weevil apprehen* sion for the central States, was instru mental to the advance in Liverpool and here. Private reports show precipitation over a large area of Oklahoma over night. The map shows none in Texas, but indications ore in favor of precipi tation becoming more general over the western States over Sunday, followed by cooler weather. Precipitation is also indicated for Arkansas and showery weather for the rest of the belt. First trades here were at unchanged figures, but the market soon gained 6 points on the Government forecast of fair weather in the West over Sunday. Selling pressure was also held in sus pense by anticipation of a bullish Times-Democrat report, and less favor able crop reports next week from promi nent crop inspectors who left yesterday for the West to investigate. Market prospects for next week de pend on weather developments in the West. Without rains of consequence de mand is expected to broaden, with a consequentbullish effect.
