Howard Succeeds in Incorporat
ing Them in General Deficiency
Bill—$41,250 Available.
By HUGH MILLER.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.—A second
attempt by Representative Howard,
of Atlanta, to have included in the
general deficiency <blll an item of $22,-
500 to be Immediately available for
completing the Atlanta postoffice was
successful. The item was incorpo
rated in the bill by an overwhelming
vote.
With $18,750 left over of the amount
originally appropriated, this makes a
total of $41,250 that will be available
for the work as soon as the bill final
ly is passed. In referring to Atlanta,
Mr. Howard spoke of the city as "the
second largest in the United States
outside of New York and Chicago,
and the most prosperous city in ho
world, without exception."
‘‘The congestion in that office is a
disgrace to the United States," he
added. "If you don’t make immedi
ately available the sum of $22,500, you
will compel the Federal officials in
Atlanta to go outside and rent addi
tional room. It’s a plain business
proposition."
Chairman Fitzgerald, of the Ap
propriations Committee, objected.
"If the Supervising Architect gets
the money, he won’t use it," said Mr.
Fitzgerald, "because he has said that
if Congress does not give him $180,-
000 to increase his force, he can not
undertake to do the work."
"I can promise the work will be
done if the money is made available,"
said Mr. Howard. “I’ll guarantee it
will be done. I’ll spend two-thirds of
my time in the Supervising Archi
tect’s office until it is done.”
Minority Leader Mann, of Illinois,
came to Mr. Howard’s support and
the amendment was adopted.
Wool Sales Small
Because of Holiday
BOSTON. Sept. 5.—With most of
the wool houses closed for the an
nual outing of the trade, a half holi
day Saturday and a full one on Mon
day, the past week has been broken.
The result is clearly seen in the re
duced sales reported by leading
houses. No particular change in the
market is noted. Worsted mills have
been the principal buyers. They re
port a fair amount of goods sold in
both staple and fancy lines. Fleeces
have been more quiet, but territories
continue to move white foreign wools
show some activity. Receipts in
pounds for the week ended and in
cluding Wednesday follow:

Varied Attractions Serving to
Make Coming Atlanta Event
Most Notable in South.
R. N. Reed, chairman of the show
committee for the Great Southern Au- 1
tomobile Show which will be held in *
the Auditorium-Armory November 8
to 15, inclusive, announced Friday
that at the first meeting of the com
mittee over half of the available ex
hibit space had been sold. Applica
tions were coming in daily, he said,
and it might be necessary to re
divide the space in order to accom
modate all the applicants.
Several of the features, of which
the magnificent decorations will not
be the least, will make the exhibi
tion one of the most notable in the
history of the South.
Sousa’s Band has been engaged to
play from November 11 to the close
of the show. Another attraction will
be the races, which will run from
November 11 to 13.
The contract for the decorations
has been awarded to V. W. Shepard.
The decorations will be the most
elaborate ever seen in the South. The
color scheme is electric blue and
white. The entire top of the Audi
torium is to be covered with one big
canopy, starting at the extreme top
of the building, which is 85 feet from
the floor.
This giant top will be fastened and
looped four times, reaching back to
a panel lattice work on the edge of
the balcony. This panel will reach
all around the Auditorium, and will
be covered with Southern wild smilax
and studded with California giant
poppies. Under this will go a heavy
fringed drapery of blue and white.
A handsome piece of scenery, to go
just under the balcony and all around 1
the Auditorium, will include a general I
view of all Georgia, showing its
mountains, lakes, rivers, farms, etc., |
all in the natural colors. There will
be over a million feet of lattice used
and over 5,000 pounds of Southern
wild smilax. All the signs used this
year will be furnished by the asso
ciation, and will conform to the deco
ration color scheme.

DENVER, Sept. 5.—That $40„000
