NEW TORK. Sept. 1.—FoRewin* the revelation that United States At torney General McReynolds had been counsel to the National Fuel Gas Company, a Standard Oil concern, in a scheme to circumvent the “seven sisters” act of the Sherman anti trust law, the New York Press to-day prints the following Washington, Aug. 31.—That Janies C. McReynolds soon will resign as Attorney General of the United States was a positive statement made to-day to the correspondent of the Press by a Senator to whom McReynolds ex- presHed this intention. Although he feels he has been subjected to unjust criticism, said McReynolds to this Senator, he also believes hf* presence in the Cabinet is a handicap to Presi dent Wilson’s administration and he Intends to retire from his of fice. “It is too much for me,” said McReynolds to his visitor, “and I feel that I must retire.” Says He Has Been “Goat.” As he further explained his po sition he ha* been worried by criticism of his conduct of the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific dissolution case, of the Dlggs- Caminettl case, of several of his recommendations for appoint ments and for his advocacy of certain pardons, to say nothing of minor affairs. ^ He maintained he has been right in every instance and he resents being made the “goat” of the administration. Attorney General McReynolds stands revealed afi counsel for the Standard Oil. He admits that while employed by the Government to break the iniquitous Anthracite Coal Trust, and while under consideration for the high of fice he now holds, he advised the Na tional Fuel (Jas Company how r to cir cumvent the “Seven Sisters’’ Anti- Trust law. This company is a $16,- 000,00 subsidiary of 26 Broadway. More amazing still, the very law that Mr. McReynolds was asked to circumvent is one formulated by his present chief, President Wilson, then Governor of New Jersey. Its express purpose Is to crush just such monop olies as the National Fuel Gas Com pany. * In the company John Rockefeller is chief stockholder. Ho owns 11,000 shares. William Rockefeller holds 3,195 shares; John D. Archbold, 1,275 shares. Rogers Once at Head. At one time its president was H. H. Rogers. Walter Jennings, a di rector in many Standard Oil subsid iaries, is now president. President Wilson has publicly stag ed that he would be glad to see a Fed eral statute similar to the “Seven Sisters” act take the place of the Sherman law. From the beginning of its career, in 1902, the National Gas Fuel Com pany went into the business of gob bling up gas companies in northern and eastern Pennsylvania and in northern New York State. Independent oil men, such as Pierce, of the Waters-Pierce Company, de clare It has assumed such formidable proportions as td completely control business in its territory. In fact, it had created such a mo nopoly that it feared to face the "Seven Sisters.” Then Mr. McRey nolds was called into consultation. When seen in Washington Mr. Mc Reynolds said: “1 do not recall going to the Stand ard Oil Building, at 26 Broadway, during the latter part of the winter to confer with the officers of the com pany, of which Mr. Walter Jennings is president. “It probably was the National Fuel Gas Company. They wanted to know what they could do and what they could not do under the ‘Seven Sisters’ law. Calls it “Muck-Raking.” ‘‘I am not sure whether the seven bills which constitute this law had been enacted or whether they were still before the Legislature. It is suf ficient to say the legislation had, in the opinion of the officers of the com pany, made It necessary to seek legal advice as K> future operation. “I was a practicing attorney at the time and did not see any wrong in giving legal advice where it was asked. "Just about this time I had been employed by the Government in t!** anthracite coal suits, but that had no possible connection with the ques tions presented to me or the New Jersey law. "I consider this only another effort at muck-raking. For the life of me I can not see how 1 can be criticised." "Will you give any of the details of the advice tendered Mr. Jennings and his associates?” was asked. “Further than that it related, as I recall, tb the transfer of certain stock. It would be unprofessional for me to ta'k about v.hat took place at the con- «’Tcnce.” replied the Atto nev General. "!>< you Tx call who asked you to confer with the officers of the com pany ?” "1 do not remember.” "The conference did take place in the Standard Oil Building at No. 26 Broadway?” “Yes.” _ Annual Holiday Observed Quietly Without Parade—Hundreds Visit Parks and Picnics. Labor I>ay la being celebrated in Atlanta by a complete surcease from labor by the men who earn their bread by the toil of their hands— as well as a host of others. It Is a holiday, but quite different from many Labor Days of Atlanta’s history. No parade has served to draw huge crowds to the principal streets; no demonstrations of any kind were planned. But labor is en joying itself. Scores of picnics are being held, while ball games, theaters and amusement parks draw enormous crowds. For the first, time in fifteen years Jerome Jones, Southern organizer for the American Federation of Labor, editor of The Journal of Labor and president of the Southern Labor Con gress, is not scheduled for a Labor Day address, and instead of partlcl- f jating in any labor demonstration he a resting quietly at home. He has been 111 for some time. Thousands of other members of unions are also making a quiet home day of it. Many Picnics in Parka. With the approach of fall but a few weeks away, many of the workers took advantage of the holiday to give their last picnic of the season. Be fore 10 o’clock Grant Park was alive with a dozen picnic crowd*, and each car was bringing more. Piedmont Park, Lakewood, White City and the other amusement places have bee.i thronged with crowds a 11 day. The morning game at Ponce De Leon attracted a great crowd, while the afternoon game is expected to prove the record-breaker of the Southern League. The determination to show Birmingham up in baseball attendance has caused thousands to plan attending this game. Crowds Throng to Lakes. The cooling waters of Lake Clara Mere at Piedmont Park proved at tractive to a great throng all day. At 5 a. m. a large crowd of early morning bathers were .»ut while their numbers continued to increase as the hours grew. Out at Lakewood things began to liven up at an early hour. Many picnics were planned, many locals having arranged for social gatherings and a dance. While all of the theaters have sold out and the movies have done a rush ing business all day, the downtown section of the city has been compara tively,quiet. Suffragists in Parade. NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—Prosperity of working people caused the Labor Day parade to number less men and wom en in its line than last year. Of the 25,000 persons in line nearly 5,000 were women. As practically all the women are suffragists, they took advantage of the occasion to advertise the “cause.” They carried banners with such inscriptions as the following: "Equal work, equal pay, equal say and votes for women.” Three thousand members of the Women’s Trades Union marched In white dresses and straw hats. “Holy Day,” Says Gompers. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1—Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, to-day issued a Labor Day proclamation, in which he characterized the national holiday as "a holy day,” consecrated to the cause of labor. President Plays Golf. WINDSOR, VT., Sept. 1.—President Wilson is observing Labor Day by golfing on the links at Hanover. N. H., and by touring around the country side. Hundreds of people in thig vi cinity alone have stopped the use of dangerous calomel when their liver is acting slowly, and take Dodson's Liver Tone instead. Dodson's Liver Tone is always safe and has none of the bad aft' er-effects w r hich so often follow the use of calomel. It is a pleasant- tasting vegetable liquid that starts the liver gently and surely, and relieves constipation and bilious ness and causes no restriction of habit or diet. Many preparations have sprung up that imitate the claims made for Dodson's Liver Tone, but re member Dodson’s Liver Tone is the tried and tested remedy that has proven such a good medicine and is so satisfactory to every user—is the reason these imita tions are on the market. } Dodson’s Liver Tone can not hurt anyone, and if it fails to do all that is claimed of it, all drug gists who sell it will give your money back with a smile. * Mercer’s Trip Taken As Dismissal Omen The mysterious departure for Washington Monday morning of Fish and Game Commissioner Mercer was said to be a further indication that Mr. Mercer eventually will be dis placed by a new appointee by Gov ernor Slaton. Mr. Mercer Is a warm personal friend of Hoke Smith and those who are keeping in close touch with the affair say he may have gone to Wash ington to get a plum at the hands of the Georgia Senator. Should Mr. Mercer be relieved from the duties of Fish and Game Commis sioner he will retain office, probably, until October 1. when the new’ Com missioner will be sworn n.

CHIEFISANISSUESLUMMERS ARE' IF CHARTER IS Continued from Page 1. Police Commission and the controlling spirit in the body, is for It, though it hazards a continuation of hls undis puted sway. Mayor James G. Woodward has been bitterly opposed to It, but the fact that its passage would give him and his supporters an opportunity to get control of the police department, a department in which they have been an insignificant minority, is said to be working a reversal of attitude. Aids Chance for Passage. These two conditions, the fact that Council wants the charter to pass to stave off radical charter reforms and the fact that the Woodward element may support it In an effort to get con trol of the police department, greatly strengthen the chances of the char ter to pass. A vigorous opposition to it by the Men and Religion Forward Movement is expected. The present Board of Health, the Park Board, the Smoke Board and the Cemetery Commission are abol ished by the charter and their author ity transferred to new commissions. But little significance is attached to these changes. In the councilmanic races the old crowd will endeavor to get men fa vorable to them elected. If the new charter passes, practically all of the present membership of the Police Commission will ask for re-election. It’s a fight, more or less, of the "outs” against the “ins.” Real Test in Election®. After all, the real test will come in the election of the five aldermen and ten councilmen, for should the char ter pass the new Council will decide who shall compose the Board of Pub lic Safety. The requirements for election to this board will b? the at titude of the Chief of Police. The list of candidates so far is: C. B. Alverton, for First Ward councilman; C. D. Knight, Second Ward councilman; C. H. Kelley, Sec ond Ward alderman; James E. War ren and J. C. Harrison, Third Ward alderman: Orville Hall, Third Ward councilman; R. E. George and A. W. Farlinger. Fourth Ward councilman, Albert Thomson, Fourth Ward aider- man; Jesse B. Lee and Dr. W. M. Ethridge. Fifth Ward councilman; Jesse M. Wood, Sixth Ward council man; Dan Walraven &nd Jesse Armi- stead. Seventh Ward alderman; Frank Reynolds, Eighth Ward councilman; John S. Owens and W. A. Hancock, Eighth Ward alderman; Charles W. Smith, Ninth Ward councilman, and Claude C. Mason, Tenth Ward coun cilman Him Declaring that the men behind the Federal prison bars are so imperfect- ly trained as “animal curiosities” is to positively shrink when gazed upon as monstrosities, Julian Hawthorne, prison poet and philosopher, ln Good Words, the official prison organ, sa tirically criticises the so-called “slum- mers” who invade the secret clois ters of the unfortunate convicts. No doubt the science of penology advances by leaps and bounds as a result of such methods, the noted prisoner declares sarcastically, and the resemblance to the zoo is notable, but, he adds, there is one difference between the two, ln that some of the criminals have retained some of their uirregenerate human sensibilities and can’t stand public stares. The world, he says, having in its wisdom and profound understanding of the needs of human nature^ cre ated these populous hermitages wher« crime and vice may be miraculously extracted from the body corporate of the community—the world, having ac complished this signal act of sagaci ty and benevolence, is presently be set by the curiosity to see how the charm works. How Visiting Parties Act. "Even as slumming parties,” he de clares further, “are organized in the cities to observe the peculiarities of crime In its making and effervescence, so does the solicitous citizen, with family and friends, betake himself cheerfully to the penitentiary to mark its aspect and conduct when under constraint. The men don their come ly afternoon attire, the ladies enhance their native attraction* with the chromatic charms of fashionable toi lets. and in groups of from two to twenty they storm our battlements, invade our secret cloisters, cells, hos pitals and studios, peer curiously into our factories and workrooms, where the happy operatives warble at their tasks; stream through the portals at the dining salon while the animals file in to their provender, keeping time to the stately strains of the band, and finally stray out in the grounds sur rounding the mansion, where they in spect the tuberculosis camp and watch those of us who ire agricul turally Inclined disporting themselves among the melon patches or the hen neries.” Prisoners Want Solitude. Instead of rejoicing, in short, as the zoo animals doubtless do, he says in closing, the men behind the bars actuallj r incline to shrink out of sight and wish that, while they are objects of ignominy, they might be left to deal with it under no other supervision than that of their masters and of one another. t There Are al Least 1000 Men in Atlanta Earning Perhaps $1500 Per Year Who can easily make S5.000 or more solid ling life insurance.
