WASHINGTON, Sept, 6—Senator Hoke Smith to-day Introduced In the Senate and Congressman I-ever in troduced in the House their bill for agricultural college extension work along the lines of the bill which lack ed only one vote of passing at the laat session of Congress. Senator Smith and Mr. Lever have been in conference with Secretary No Little Indignation Also Shown by State and City Officials Over Latest "Crusade.” State House and city officials com mented Saturday with mixed indigna tion and amusement on the practice of arresting couples who happen to be spooning on the Capitol steps in the evening. While the plight of an affectionate couple who are startled from their osculatory bliss is not without its humorous aspects, it appealed to the Carlos H. Mason, chairman of At lanta’s Police Commission, Just home from New York, Saturday declared Atlanta far better morally than Gotham. Mr. Mason said that as he strolled up and down the Great White Way he was impressed with Atlanta’s in finitely better moral atmosphere. "By comparison the old home town was inviting with a shining purity,” he said. Upon Mr. Mason’s return to the city one of the first matters to come to his attention concerning the police was the arrest of a young couple for spooning on the Capitol steps. "I don't approve of that arrest,” he declared with emphasis. “That's a universal, time-honored method of courtship, and a policy of arresting people for yielding to that indulgence doesn’t get my support.” Houston, of the Department of Ag- j majority of those who discussed the riculture, and the executive commit- | ar tion of the police as nothing short tee of the colleges of agriculture, and .. . . , , . the new bllHs the result of their com- | of an ou,ra ** ,ha < P-rxone should he bined judgment.

Worsham, State Ento mologist, will accompany Dr. Phil Campbell and agitits of the Georgia State College of Agriculture next week on a tour of Louisiana, Missis sippi and Alabama, where the boll weevil, which is expected to enter Georgia next year, will be studied at close range. Dr. Worsham and these agents are going to bend every effort to have those counties which are sure to be visited first by the boll weevil for tified against this pest as strongly as possible. Early maturing varieties of cotton seed are now being raised on experi ment farms throughout Georgia which will be distributed in these counties in which the, boll weevil is expected to appear, for through early maturity the boll weevil is beat com bated.

Her crimes, Mr. Doherty said, do not involve moral turpitude. ly devoid of sentiment, spooners had come to the disheartening conclusion that that little line about all the world loving a lover was piffle. But comes one as their champion. He is John O. Cochran, chairman of the City Park Board. Just as it ap pears that the smitten youths and maids must seek tho depressing fast nesses of the family parlor, or the front porch, where they are the ob served of all observers, Mr. Cochran rushes forward and tells them that they may spoon in the city’s parks to their hearts’ content, and that if any surly, misanthropic policeman inter rupts* them he will now the reason why. Mr. Cochran’s pronunciamento was spread abroad Friday night just after a young woman, blushing with mortification, and her companion, sullen at the humiliation that was theirs, had been haled into Record er's Court charged with disorderly conduct. What h^d they been doing? Why. their terrible offense, accord ing to Policemen Clack and Whelchel, who arrested them, was “spooning'’ on the Capitol steps. The officers of the law, waiting for a propitious mo ment, had come upon the twain Just as their lips had met in a long, lin gering soul kiss. “Break away, youse!” was the gruff command that startled them from their embrace.

Recorder Broyles promptly dis missed the case, as he did that of Miss Dollle Johnson No. 158 East Fair street, and W. C. Williamson, No. 474 Woodward avenue, who were arrested on a similar charge. The Recorder admonished them, however, that it were better to do their spooning at homo on the porches and in the hammocks.

DESTRUCTION WROUGHT BY HOT SPRINGS FIRE. $10,000,000 of property. 2,000 persons are homeless. An area a mile long and ten block wide is a waste of smol dering ruins. 500 residences are burned. The courthouse, light, water and power plants, high school, Iron Mountain depot and shops, three hotels, a theater and other public or semi-public buildings are destroyed. HOT SPRINGS. ARK.. Sept. S.— With 2,000 persons homeless, many of them penniless, and a property loss estimated at $10,000,000, the greater part of Hot Springs to-day is a mass of smoking ruins from fire that for nine hours swept an area from seven to ten blocks in width, in the eastern portion of the city. No fatalities have been reported. But few of those whose homes were destroyed saved any valuables. The fire originated in a negro house about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and spent itself only when it reached the foot of West Mountain, the Southern extremity of Hot Springs, at mid night. Hotels, manufacturing plants and many fine residences were destroyed, and for a time it appeared as if the entire city was doofned. The hard est fight was to prevent the flames from gaining a headway on Central avenue, the principal business street. In this fight dynamite was used to wreck buildings. Militia on Duty. State militia are to-day patrolling the burned district. United States soldiers may he sent here from Little Rock to protect property In the Gov ernment reservation. Governor Hays arrived about midnight and ordered the State military patrol. In addi tion, 250 men were sworn In as po- Ucenlen to patrol the district. Thus far there has been no disorder. Ail the homeless have been cared for temporarily, and the many offers of assistance from the outside will probably not be necessary, as the citizens of Hot Springs declare they can handle the situation. The Little Rock fire department re sponded to a call for assistance on board a special train, and did good work in the fight, but it was several hours before the ‘‘forts of the fire fighters made any impression, and then only in preventing the spread to Central avenue. Public Buildings Burn. Among the buildings destroyed were the city light, water and power plants, the county courthouse, the Park, Princess and Moody Hotels, City High School, Iron Mountain Railroad sta tion and shops, Ozark Sanitarium. People's Laundry, Crystal Theater and Bijou Rink, besides 100 or more smaller business buildings. During the fire a gale was blowing, at times reaching a velocity of 40 miles an hour, thus making the fight more difficult. As the firemen were dynamiting a house the flames, forced by the gale, would leap over them and ignite a dozen other houses. After the destruction of a number of build ings in an attempt to turn the fire toward South Hot SprlngR, the course was changed to such an extent that it finally spent itself against West Mountain, and the business section was saved.

Pollock, president of the company. The trust organization was formed only last February and has been do ing a business in farm and city loans | since then, specializing in the former. The increase in the. capitalization was decided upon Friday at a meet ing of the stockholders, among whom are a number of men well known in the financial circles of the State. The purpose was to afford a wider scope for the operations of the com pany and to enable it to get cheaper money from financial interests in America and Europe. Important connections have been made with Chicago and New York houses by which the Union Trust Company will be enabled to make loans of two or three million dollars in addition to what it would be able to do on its own capital. The offi cials of the company have decided upon an aggressive policy with the determination to make the company one of the strongest and most power ful in the South. President Pollock is an experienced banker, being the organizer of two banks in Rome, Ga.. one of which he resigned the presidency to take charge of the Union Trust Company.

Former Mayor Robert F. Maddox believes the committee of seven mem- bers of the American Bankers’ Asso ciation succeeded in convincing the United States Senate Committee on Banking and Currency that changes are advisable in the Owen-Glass cur rency bill before it is made law. Further, he thinks the signs are that the bill will not be passed at the present session of Congress. Sen ator Weeks, of Massachusetts, has introduced a resolution asking for a report of the Banking and Currency Committee to be presented December 2. This will postpone final action un til another session. Mr. Maddox, vice president of the American National Bank, returned to his office Saturday morning. With the bankers' committee he was in Washington Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Each day's session, ne says, was long, and he left the de liberators still at work late Thursday night, with prospects that they would be “at it” until Saturday night. Puts His Faith in Senate. "We were particularly impressed," says Mr. Maddox, “with the courte ous and attentive hearing we were given. The Senate seems intent upon producing a currency and banking system which shall be the best pos sible for the country. It seems to feel that our assurances of frankness and patriotism were sincere, and to be ready to give weight to our sug. gestions. I believe when the Senate is through with the currency bill It will be a good law. “The bankers from all over tile United States who made up the com mittee seemed unanimous in their opinion that business conditions in the United States are sound, and thet there will be no further stringency of money this fall. They do not think, however, that any material reduction in Interest rates will be seen because of the heavy demand for money. "Since there is no emergency at hand and because the subject is jL, such vital importance, I believe Con gress should not pass the measure nastily, but should give the fullest study to the subject, and hear not only the bankers, but also the busi ness men of the country.” Assigned Savings Clause. Each banker was assigned certain features of the currency bill to dis cuss. Mr. Maddox was assigned the savings deposits clause, and the por tion which virtually inhibits country banks from charging exchange on checks. The Senate now seems inclined to kill the latter and the House the for mer, Mr. Maddox says. A charge for the collection of checks, small on each but large in the aggregate, is an important item in the earning# of 4,700 small na tional banks, 63 per cent of the total number of 7,393. Mr. Maddox argued to show the unfairness of eliminat ing this source of revenue, and to show that many banks would not Join the new regional banks if this feature remained. Segregation of savings deposits and restrictions forcing investment of these funds In long-term mortgages and bonds would result, Mr. Maddox argued, lu withdrawing $760,000,000 from the channels of local trade and commerce. Under the present sys tem the money the workingman saves Is loaned back to his employer, thus enabling the employer to continue his business, possibly to enlarge It and employ more labor. To upset this system, he believes, would disturb conditions seriously and result In higher rates of interest.
