Campaign to Place Atlantan on
New Circuit Bench Joined
by Lawyers.
The movement inaugurated among
the lawyers of the Atlanta bar to have
one of their number appointed to the
new judgeship of the Atlanta Circuit
recently created by the Legislature
seems to be gaining weight and im
portance.
Already more than a majority of
the active members of the bar have
signed a request to the Governor to
that effect, and others are joining the
movement daily. The signers want
an Atlanta man for an Atlanta judge-
ship, and their contention is ap
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 the act creating
the Fourth Division of the Superior
Court of Fulton County terminates
• the right of the judge of the Stone
Mountain Circuit to preside in the
Superior Court of the Atlanta Cir
cuit, but this is not true.
“The act recently passed creating
the 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.
“It should be steadily borne in
mind that this movement is in no
sense whatever an attack unt>n 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
teem. and the fact that we are irre
vocably committed to the principle of
home rqle for judges—an Atlanta man
for 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 follows: H. N. Ran
dolph. chairman; Albert Howell. Jr.,
Clifford L. Anderson, Shepard Bryan,
Eugene Dodd, Victor Lamar Smith,
George Westmoreland, F. V. Carter,
Samuel D. Hewlett, Samuel Nesbit
Fvins, William A. Wimbish, Robert
P. Jones, Jfcssee M. Wood, Paul E.
Johnson, W. Carroll Latimer, Lee M.
Jordan, W. ,T. Tilson, Philip H. Als
ton. Harrison Jones, Hudson Mooi^e,
John A. Hynds, Van Astor Batchelor,
Thomas H. Goodwin, W. H. Terrell,
Winfield Jones and H. M. Patty.
Following a spirited clash in Police
Court between Recorder Pro Tern
Preston and Attorney W. M. 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
license, Mrs. Carroll again will be
arraigned before Judge Preston Sat
urday afternoon.
Smith declared he would move to
disqualify the Recorder Pro Tern on
the ground that he has assumed the
role of prosecuting attorney in the
case of Mrs. Carroll. Judge Preston
accused the attorney of bluffing, and
declared that he “didn't intend to al
low bluffs to interfere with justice.”
Sergeant Barefleld explained that
City Attorney Mayson could not be
present until Saturday afternoon. At
torney Smith insisted on an imme
diate hearing, but was overruled.
Alabama Weevil
Nears State Line
Contest Now On and Several Live
Organizations in Race for
$1,000 First Prize.
“We will have to quarantine three
counties in Georgia for boll weevil
against the rest of the State before
the end of the present season, we
are afraid,” said E. L. Worsham,
State Entomologist, at the Capitol
Saturday.
According to Dr. Worsham the boll
weevil, which has been quaking such
great ravages on the cotton crop in
Alabama is within 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 jusL
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 Crush
er^ Association of Georgia are co
operating in every way possible to
aid the Department of Entomology
and the farmers 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.

Brother’ to Turkey

ROME, Aug. 16.—England, to save the
remnants of the Turkish Empire, is
about to put into shape an undertaking
which will be presented to the Powers

An English adviser to the Turkish
Government probably will be appointed.
SCUTARI, Aug. 16.—The chieftains of
of a number of Albanian tribes, dissat
isfied with the frontier limitations of
Albania to-day told the English admiral
who is'in charge of the international
military forces here that if England
does not give assurances before Thurs
day that the old frontier lines will be
restored the Albanians will go to war.
Fifty Realty Men
Gather at Dinner
Chas. P. Glover Gets Gold Watch
Charm—Ponce DeLeon Residence
Sale—Other Notes.
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. Glover, former president
of the board, was presented with a
handsome gold watch charm, with the
inscription "Our President, 1913, At
lanta Real Estate Board.” The pres
entation speech was made by M. F.
Ramsey, and Mr. Glover responded.
R. L. Turman was elected a mem
ber of the appraisal committee of
the board to succeed Walker Dunson,
who resigned at the July meeting.
S. B. Turman presided, and introduc
ed Mr. Glover and Harris G. White,
who told briefly of their trip to the
convention at Winnipeg. Both de
clared that they expected to win the
1916 convention for Atlanta Mr.
Glover is now vice president of the
national association, and his fellow
real estate men ar e expected to vote

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.
COTTON GOSSIP
ering Stimulates Wheat, but
Change Is Small.
NEW YORK, Ajjg. 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 higher. 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 lost 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
points from the closing quotations of
Friday.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—The ring crowd

to clear weather over Oklahoma and

an active buying movement generally.

to extend from Block Island to the
Virginia capes, and appears to be
30 miles or more in width.
Arkansan Loses
Extradition Fight
Extradition papers for David J.
Steinburg, 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.
Steinburg, 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. Steinburg retained coun
sel to fight the extradition. He was
represented by the firm of Napier,
Wright & 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.
Receiver for Local

ruptcy was filed Saturday in the

$40,000.
Governor to Work
Late Signing Bills
Governor Slaton’s desk Saturday
was still piled high with legislative
bills, which he is looking over pre
paratory to affixing his official signa
ture.
The Governor declared Saturday
that he probably would work until
midnight Saturday in order to get off
as many bills as possible. He signed
only local bills Saturday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 16.—Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows part
ly cloudy in Texas. Fair in Arkansas
and Oklahoma. Part cloudy to cloudy
in the central and eastern States, rain
in Oklahoma. The south central Gulf
States and Alabama and scattered show
ers in Atlantics. Indications are for
unsettled showers over the entire belt
with good prospects of precipitation ip
west becoming more general.
Texas weather: Galveston 85, Hous
ton 78. Waco 80, Dallas 86, Fort Worth
87, Sherman 82, Denison 81, Paris 81,
Texarkana 80. Litle Rock 78, Fort Smith
Helena 86, Muscogee 84, light show
ers last night; Chickasha 79, McAlester
88, all clear.
• • *
West Texas reports generally fine
crops and south and central Texas show
cotton as good as last year.
* * *
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
has the following from Oklahoma City:
“A drouth of over a month's duration
during which time the temperature
throughout the State hovered at the
100 degree mark, was broken to-day by
scattered rains, which to-night threat
ened to be general. The fall in tem
perature is from 10 to 20 degrees. The
central and east oentral 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, Potawatomle,
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 hts
or a few 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.”
• * •
MEMPHIS, TENN., Aug. 16.—J. B
Turner crop summary for week ending
August 16: “Quite favorable weather
for cotton prevailed In the two Caro-
llnas 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 heln-
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, as
great as those usually occurring at
this period when the plant approaches
maturity. Shedding is reported, due in
most Instances to lack of 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,
however, just begun, except in un
favored localities, and if rain comes
during next week in general and heavy
fall, great good v III he done. Greatest
loss has occurred .n Oklahoma, but over
a large area in these three States the
plant shows arrested development and
is raphiiy 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,
3,000 bales.
Anticipation of a bullish Times-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 are 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 weatner developments In the
West. Without rains of consequence de
mand is expected to broaden, with a
consequentbullish effect.

The Chicago Inter Ocean say a:
“Selling pressure Jn wheat yesterday
was larger than expected, but they
believe that with com and oats ad
vancing it will be difficult to keep wheat
down, and that ultimately, when the ad
vance does start, it will tie rapid.
There are very few bears around, and
commission houses are mostly bearish*
Ail of the largest bulls in corn appear
confident of their position, and are said
to be buying in outside markets as welt
i In Chicago.
"It is the general belief of trader*
here that the continued drouth and ex
cessive heat in Kansas and Oklahoma
has practically eliminated their corn
crop as a factor, and unless Nebraska
gets relief at once the crop north of the
.Matte will be greatly damaged on top
of that already done, which is estimated
at more than 25 per cent.”
• * •
Bartlett, Frazier & Co. says: "Wheat
•We continue to favor long sides on
weak spots, and, while it seems difficult
to bring about any sustained advance,
we believe, however, it will come.
“Corn—The weather map shows prac*
tlcally no rain in the belt with a contin
uation of high temperatures. Can see
nothing to stop the upward trend.
'Oats—Look for a very much higher
market.
“Provisions^—Packing interests are
buying near deliveries of provisions.”
• • •
B. W. Snow* says: “My local reports
show no plowing done for winter wheat
in the drouth-stricken area, and as this
covers much more than half the winter
wheat belt, it is rapidly getting to a
point where it is a serious matter.
There is no surplus of farm labor or
power, and work must be accomplished
at the time regularly allotted to it. The
present delay may result in a failure to
irepare the usual acreage for fall seed-
ng.”
