Mr Ferguson Ar rived in Mobile late Tuesday after noon. Mobile's reception to the pathfind er* wet only one more Indication of tha widespread intereat in the mon ster campaign for a transcontinental highway inaugurated in Atlanta on August 18 by Hearst'* Sunday Amer ican The Mobilean* carried out a pro gram which they planned weeks ago. Several miles north of the city a big delegation of boo at er*, including many women enthusiasts in automo biles, met the pathfinders and escort, ed them Into the city. Here a com mittee from the Chamber of Com merce, as well as prominent citizens and city official*, took the members of the party in hand and tendered to them a royal reception which the Mobile boosters *ay "surpassed the celebration* in Birmingham and Montgomery.” Immediately following the recep tion Mr Ferguson began complet ing hi* plans for the resumption of the Journey to New Orleans, which place he expects to reach on August 30. Dike the Mobile boosters, the New Orleans “live wire*" have hud their plans practically complete for several weeks, according to advance reports. Big Celebration Planned. A monster good roads and highway celebration will be held, it Is said, and a representative of The New Orleans Item, which Is co-operating with The Sunday American. The Bir mingham News, The Montgomery A i- vertiser and other leading Southern newspapers, will relieve the Mont gomery representative. The special man from The Item will accompany the party as far as Beaumont, Texas, where a representa tive of The Houston Post, which also is behind the movement, will Join the tourists, accompanying them us far as Dallas.

Texas, September Beaumont. September 7. and Houston on September 8 «»r 9. The party should reach its destination. San Francisco, in October Following out the policy maintained ;ill along the route from Atlanta to Mobile Mr Ferguson will spread the gospel of good road* and fine high way* through Louisiana. Texas, Ari zona, New Mexico and Southern Cali fornia Already the effort* of the pathfinder along this line have had marked result*. Beginning at Doug- lanvllle, (la.. 30 miles west of Atlanta, the official starting point, and contin uing through Tallapoosa. Heflin, Ala,, Anniston, Ashville. Birmingham. Clanton, Montgomery and Selma, a* well a* other progressive smaller town*, local good roads and highway campaign* have been inaugurated fol lowing Mr. Ferguson’s visit. The manifest enthusiasm with which the tourists were received all along the route ha* been directed Into channels for the actual Improvement of the roads and the development of high way*. Bad Roads Stories Disproved. Although Mr. Ferguson has com pleted less than a third of the long cross-country tour h? ha* already demonstrated beyond a doubt that the South afford* an Ideal route for an open-the-year-round highway. This claim was scouted by Northern tourists, who have declared repeated ly that the weather was too warm down in Georgia and Alabama and Louisiana to make such a trip in the summer time. It was to disprove thl* that Mr. Ferguson decided not only to make the trip In the very dead of summer, but also to take his wife and children with him. That he ha* al ready succeeded is indicated by the reports from Mrs. Ferguson, who ha* declared all along the route that she was delighted with the “ideal’’ cli mate. The South's reputation for had roads, loo, has been disproved by this tour At Anniston. Birmingham, Montgomery and Selma Mr. Ferguson declared to the boosters that he was surprised at the marvelous develop ment of the road*. “If the citizens along the way which I have traversed do as much for good roads during the next two years as they have done during the past two, conditions should be ideal,’ he sakl. That these citizens are going to do this and even more hus been indi cated repeatedly f*Am the time Mr. Ferguson left Atlanta until he arrived In Mobile Wednesday. Willard Exonerated j By Coroner's Jury LOS ANGELES. Aug. 2T.—After several hours of deliberation over the testimony presented by witnesses of last Friday's fight at Vernon between Jess Willard and "Bull" Young, which resulted in the death of the latter, the Coroner’s Jury returned a verdict ex onerating Willard.

The verdict of the Coroner s Jury will have no bearing upon the pros ecution of Willard. McCarey and the others charged with manslaughter, according to a statement of Prosecu tor W. J.

PLOT F Four Atlanta Boys On 15-Day Hike to New York on Bet Chairman of Committee Declares Mayor Easily Could Have Had Primary Deferred. Mayor Woodward* charge* that the setting of September 30 a* the date of holding Atlanta's Democratic primary was the result of a well-laid plot ha* brought a strong denial from Chairman John Y. Smith, of the city Democratic executive committee. There is absolutely no ground for the charg*, according to Mr. Smith. Also he is of the opinion that six weeks Is sufficient length of time for the men running for the office* of councilman and alderman to make their campaign. A charge that the date of Septem ber 30 wa* set a* the result of a con spiracy Is without foundation,” *ald Mr. Smith. “The meeting of the com mittee was attended by practically every member, while there had been no meeting or caucus of any kind prior to the meeting "It ha* been the custom for persons other than members to attend its meetings and to address them. Had the Mayor desired to have a later date set he could easily have appeared before the committee and have been accorded the courtesy of giving his views. I doubt if ther e would have been much trouble in having bad the date set beyond September 30. “There was considerably more than a quorum of the committee member ship present when the matter of set ting the date was taken up. There wa* practically no discussion of it and a resolution by Committeeman T. O. Poole naming September 30 was unanimously adopted. “! can not agree with Mayor Wood ward that the time it> too short for the candidates for alderman and councilman to make their campaigns. When a candidate has to stretch his campaign beyond a period of six weeks it works a hardship on him, while the people undoubtedly get tired of too much politics.” September 12 Closing Day, At n meeting held at noon Wednes day the sub-committee of the Ci*y Executive Committee set September 12 as the last day !n which candi dates in the primary of September 21 may nay their fee with the Treasurer and qualify. The assessments for the various offices were also fixed. Owing to the smaller number of offices to be contested for and the consequent smaller number of candi dates. the assessments are slightly higher than those of last year. The total amount which it Is esti mated will be derived from the as sessment is $1,320. Should any por tion be left over It will he pro rated among the candidates. In the event of a run-off between anv candidates the amount left over will be applied to the expense of the second election. An effort wav made to require candi dates in the event of a run-off to bear the entire expense of the second elec tion. but was defeated. Candidates must qualify bv noon of September 12. naying their as sessment to either Paul Toland or J. O. Cochran. The money will be han dled bv the treasurer of the commit tee who will make a bond of $1,500. The individual assessments are: General manager of waterworks, $150: Alderman, full term. $95; Al derman, unexpired term, $50; Coun cilman, $70. From Peachtree to Broadway is a ; long walk, but four Atlanta boys set out Wednesday to accomplish it in fifteen days, as the result of a bet of $500 made between them and George 1 Allen, of the Central Railroad. i The boys are Lloyd Snead, 19 years I old. No. 236 Cooper street; Clarence Burel, 18 years old, No. 79 West North avenue. Jack W, Lipscomb, 22 years old. No 232 East Hunter street, and F. J. Lipscomb, 18 years old. of tin same address The distance from Atlanta to New York atoot is more than 900 miles. The condition of the bet is that the boys walk it in fifteen days.

But owing to the splendid showing made in the prelim inary application, a special detail was obtained Major Hardaway was pleased with the location of Riverside, with its campus of 2,000 acres on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, two miles out of Gainesville, because of the many natural advantages offered by It for target practice, maneuvering, skirmish drills, bridge building, pon toon work and other military arts. The physical property at Riverside, with its well-ventilated barracks, mess halls and schoolrooms, did much to obtain this speedy detail. President Sandy Beaver, who was in the city Wednesday, announced the faculty has been strengthened and enlarged and the school will open with the largest attendance of Its history- W. F.
