The Weather, Forecast for Atlanta and Georgia: Fair Sun day and Monday. VOL. I. NO. 22. Copyright, 1913. by The Georgian Company. ★★★★ ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, AUGUST 31, 1913. ALL PLEDGES Of 181210 BE CARRIED OUT, SAYS CLARK Speaker Says GoodTariff Bill Will Be on Statute BooksWithinTwo Weeks, Reducing Cost of Living but Giving Enough Revenue. Democrats Will Live Up to Every Promise Made at Baltimore, He Asserts, While Affirming Belief That Owen-Glass Bill Will Help, SKOWHEGAN, MAINE. Aug. 30.— "We can not In few months redeem all the promisees at Baltimore, but with God’s blessing we will redeem them all. "We believe our tariff bill will re duce the cost of living, more fairly adjust taxation and at the same time raise an abundant revenue for the Government, economically and ef fectively administered. "Second in importance to the re vision to the tariff downward was the promise of currency reform. We are now in the first stages of the redemp tion of that promise.” These are striking excerpts from an address made here to-night by Speak er Champ Clark in behalf of the Dem ocratic candidate for Congress in a special election to fill a vacancy in the Third District. The Speaker devoted his entire time to a discussion of the Democratic tariff bill and the Glass- Owen currency measure. "Our tariff bill, in aH human prob ability, will be upon the statute books before the middle of September,” he declared "In my Judgment, it is a good tariff bill. It is not precisely as l would have written it if I had been given carte blanche. All Laws Compromises. "All legislation is the issue of com promise and concessions. Nobody can get everything he wants in this world. "We believe our tariff bill will re duce the cont of living, more fairly adjust taxation and at the same time raise an abundant revenue for the Government, economically and effect ively administered. I put in the word ‘effectively’ because no good Ameri can desires to see the Federal Gov ernment crippled in any of its legiti mate functions. “Our tariff bill would not raise enough money to pay the expenses of the Government were it not for the income tax feature* According to my way of thinking, a properly graded income tax, with reasonable excep tions. Is the Junteit and the fairest tax ever levied. Speaker Quotes Byron. "I never think of the long fight that has been made for tariff reduction that I do not recall the splendid lines of Byron : “ ‘For time at last sets all thing* even, And if we do hut watch the hour, There never yet waft human power That could evade* if un forgiven. The patient scorch and vigil long Of him who treasures up a wrong* "And the high protective tariff sys tem, beginning with the first Morrill bill 1n 1861 down to the present day, was one of the most monstrous wrongs ever inflicted upon a people. "I think it may be said without exaggeration or bad taste that we have at the present time the worst currency system of all the great peo ples on the globe. "Perfection is not claimed for the Glass-Owen currency bill. It is claimed, however, that it is a vast improvement on the present sys tem.” * Someone Must Control. Referring to the objection made to the Federal Reserve Board having too much power, Mr. Clark said: “Power must be lodged somewhere, and, in my judgment, it Is better to lodge it with t:*e President and his appointees than in the hands o^,pri- vate persons. The latter can do a great many things which a President, of the United States ca not afTord do.” In terminating the enumeration cf the important provisions of the bill, the Speaker said: "I have no disposition whatever to lamp bankers off as dishones' beyond the average. I simply say they are human, that they will work'for their own interests.'’ Two Hit by Autos; Both Seriously Hurt Arthur Pearce, 10 Years Old, and Unidentified Mute Victims of Night Accidents.

PARIS, Aug. 30.—The Cri de Paris prints the story of the dismissal of the pretty little laundress of the es tablishment of the Prince of Wales by the Prince's mother, for the reason that her pretty cheeks, bright eyes and striking figure impressed Queen Mary as being unsuitable for the im mediate environment of the future ruler.

CHICAGO, Aug 30.—"I am what you might call ‘financially busted,’ but I am by no means ‘down and out’ said Col. William F. Cody, known all over the world as "Buffalo Bill,’’ at the hotel LaSalle, to-night "Right now, I am getting ready to take up the best work of my whole life. I will have made a replica of the final grand councils of the red men and tne whites, in which 1 will pose all w*ho are living, to show com ing generations Just how the treaty lias signed." fit REPULSED, I SHOT, MaddtJx Victim of Bullet Fired by Watchman at Interurban Station. TWO COMPANIONS ESCAPE C. G. Miller, Suffering From Beating Received in Fight, Sur renders Himself to the Police. Lee Maddox lies at the Grady Hos pital with a bullet in his head which will cause his death, and G. G. Miller, No. 136 East Georgia avenue, night watchman for the Georgia Railway and Power Company at the Gas and Electric Building on Walton street, is in the custody of the police as the result of a sensational hold-up and shooting there Saturday night at about 11:40 o’clock. According to Miller, the four men suddenly attacked him inside the de pot building while he was making his nightly rounds. In self-defense, he says, he pulled his pistol and shot one of the men, who proved later to be Lee Maddox. Miler gave himself up to the police after he had received a severe beat ing at the hands of four alleged rob bers who, he says, broke through the side door of the building. The arrest was made by Officer T. D. Shaw, to whom Miller declared that he had shot a man. Although Miller was badly beaten he was able to walk to the door, where he met the policeman, called to the scene by a passerby who had heard the shot. Miller handed the officer his pistol. Shortly after the shooting and the arrest of the night watchman a large crowd gathered. No trace of the other three men could be found up to a late hour Sunday morning. The purpose of the daring attack, it $s supposed, was robbery. Maddox, who was rushed to Grady Hospital, is desperately wounded and can not possibly recover, it is be lieved. The bullet entered the jaw and lodged within a half inch of the skull. Miller is 27 years old and has been considered one of the company’s trusties. Art of Moonshining Decadent in Georgia Fewer Stills Raided in August Than in Any Previous Month for Years. Georgia has fallen upon evil days. Its old-time supremacy in the man ufacture of moonshine whisky is threatened. To the grizzled veterans of the mountains, not a few of whom have played merry hide-and-seek with the revenue officers, this is an infallible sign of decadence. It is just another indication of the ef- femlnizing Influence of modern life. Georgia stills hold the leadership in the making of that whisky upon which no Government stamp finds a place. This is according to the offi cial reports. But the gentle art of moonshining gradually and certainly is passing away. This also is ac cording to the official reports. There were fewer raids on illicit stills in August than in any previous month for many years. This was njt due to any lack of vigilance on the part of the revenue officers, but rath er to the fact that there are fewer still* to raid. Shake-ups in the local revenue of fice have insured that there will be no let-down in the activity of the Gov ernment agents.

Boy Badly Mangled By Neighbor's Dog Lamar Eberhardt’s Screams Bring Assistance to Terrified Lad in Nick of Time. Blinders for X-Ray Gown Oglers Urged “The Man Who Stares, Not the Dress, Is at Fault,” De clares Pastor. Wild screams of 8-year-old Lamar Eberhardt brought neighbors to his aid while the little fellow was being savagely attacked by a dog belonging to Pack Evans, a neighbor, late Sat urday afternoon. Their timely ar rival in all probability saved the boy from being so cruelly' bitten that his leg would have to have been ampu tated. The child lives with his father, W. H. Eberhardt, at No. 126 Flora Ave nue. Just around the corner on La- France avenue Evans lives. According to Lamar’s father as the little fellow was passing the Evans gate, the dog leaped out and sank his fangs deep in the child’s ; leg. The boy’s screams and struggles only served to madden the animal and under his tearing attack young Lamar fell with the dog still snapping at him. Aid came just as the animal was about to seize a new and perhaps fatal hold. Family Finds Clew To Martin in Alps Brother-in-Law Expected to Locate Missing Memphie Man With in Few Hours. ROCKLAND, MASS., Aug. 30.—The Rev. Louis A. Walker of the First Unitarian church of Rockland is hailed as the champion of the X-ray gown and slit skirt. Says the Rock land minister: "To brand the w'earers of these fantastic gowns as vulgar is an in suit to a large portion of American womanhood. The immorality is with those who see the suggestive, rather than in those who wear novel gar ments." Mr. Walker is sincere In his own suggestion of blinders for the men who ogle women in modern garb. He declares the proper censor of styles would be "a prim and ancient maiden with ringlets.” No Babies Advocated At Suffragist Meet Lawyer Opposes Popujation Increase Until Life Is More Highly Prized.

Until then it Is better that no more children be born.” Wilson’s Rest Not Marred by Mexico T- President at Summer White House in New Hampshire for Three Days’ Vacation. WINDSOR, VT .

SUBJECT OF QUIZ Republican Senators Say Govern ment Has Created, Not Destroy ed, Rail Monopoly in West. WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—It is re- ported here that a group of the most influential Republican Senators have combined for the urpose of securing an investigation of the “surrender” of the Department of Justice to the railroads in the Union Pacific-South ern Pacific dissolution rase, while the Administration is to take unusual steps to block the inquiry and formu late its defense. As a first move in an attack upm the Department of Justice a resolu tion soon will be introduced calling on the Attorney General*to inform the Senate why the case should not be thrown into the courts to have the decree of the Supreme Court executed and receivers appointed for the rail roads concerned. The fight will be based on the charges that the Department of Jus tice really constructed a monopoly in stead- of destroying it; that not only are the Union Pacific and the South ern Pacific sti ’ left in possession »f their property, but also they are ex empted from paying debts amounting to millions which they owe the Gov ernment, and that this being prac tically a subsidy f. m the Govern ment, they will be able to defeat com • petition in all States on the Pacifl Coast eastward to Chicago by the simple expedient of cutting rates. SCARED DEAD BY THUNDER. SEABR1GHT, N. J.. Aug. 30.—Mrs. B. A. McGough, an aged resident of New York, here on a visit, was scared to death by a clap of thunder dur ing a severe electrical storm which swept the northern New Jersey coast early to-day. malice aforethought. A railroad ac cident had a good part in transform ing the radiant society girl into a coal dealer. An ability on her part to re member that Christmas is coming while the thermometers hover about the 100 mark also entered into the little business venture, while her un tiring love for the old soldiers of the Confederacy was probably the most potent factor of all. But the fact remains that Miss Rambo is to-day an honest-to-good ness coal dealer in her home town of Marietta, and it’s needless to say that she is the most popular person selling fuel in the Cobb County town. Hard to Conceive New Feat. It is difficult to convince Georgians who know Miss Rambo—and she num bers her friends by the hundreds— that it is possible for her to enter a new field of actiivty. For in her young life she has done a lot of things, and she has done them all well. It is difficult to conceive how she has added another to her list of accomplishments. She hardly had reached her teens before she was regarded as the most daring and accomplished horsewoman in Georgia. It was worth.the walk from Atlanta to Marietta to see her afield on one of her splendid mounts. But then motor cars became the rage, and when they did Miss Rambo was as much at home behind the steering wheel as in the saddle. She entered and drove her own cars in a number of Georgia and national tours, and there were plenty of men drivers to envy her skill and marvel at her resourcefulness. She didn’t stop with these accom plishments. Well, hardly. Miss Ram bo is regarded as graceful a dancer a* has ever appeared on an Atlanta ballroom floor. Any society man in Georgia will testify that the regard has been worthily bestowed. Star in Water Sports. No less skillful is she is aquatic sports.

State Department Proposes Inter* national Commission to-Fix Loss to American Property During Rebellion's Three-Year Reign# Huerta’s Plea to Foreigners t® Stay Believed To Be Ruse to Escape Responsibility for De preciation in Value of Holdings, Possible That the Southern Re public May Be Forced to Hy pothecate Revenues to Settle the Fast Accumulating Claims, WASHINGTON. Aug 3f0.—Mexico will have to settle to the last cent, millions of dollar* damage done t« property owned bv Americans in tfw» Southern republic when the reign of! rebellion, begun three years ago. ends. During the present lull in the nego tiations between the United Stated) and the Huerta government, the State Department is turning its attention to the immense Indebtedness that Huer ta is piling up to be settled by his successors. An international com mission would ascertain this indebt-; edness, it was definitely stated to The Sunday American to-day. Officials of the State Department said to-day that, by reason of the Madero rebellion and the present dis turbance, Americans already had sus- talned a loss of $500,000,000. The international commission w1?f> be charged with ascertaining First, the original value of th* property. Second, its depreciation. Third, what would have been its; present value. Assert Mexico Had Chance. The same officials say that a faidi international commission, in deter mining a claim, would take thesd three items at their full value fowl the reason that Madero and Huerta were given full opportunity to rnak* some move for the arrest of depre ciation by the restoration of peace. There is now a so-called commis-*, sion sitting at Mexico City, but it id ! composed entirely of Mexican offi-j ciala. Few claims have been settled, and a settlement, except on a prom-! lssory note, appears to be an impose, slbility with the Huerta, government. The commission which the Statwj Department has in mind would, how ever, be composed of Mexican and' American officials, and its decision!! would be final, because both the Con-' gress of Mexico and the Congress of' the United States would give it powew to act. Revenues May Be Claimed. It might be that Mexico would be enabled by the flotation of bonds guar*! anteed by a friendly United State.*; government to pay off its enormous claims. The most disagreeable 1 means is one that sometimes has to be enforced—compelling Mexico ter hypothecate her revenue* for the pay ment of the claims.
