THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. POLICE CONTROL Fredd i Candidates Noncommittal, but the Fight for Commissionerships Overshadows Aldermanic. That the control of Atlanta's Police Department :e playing a bigger part in the charter and couneilmanic cam- reigns than anything' else was re vealed Thursday by a story of one of the shrewdest games of inside poli tics ever played in Atlanta. It brings out again the law enforce ment policy of Police Chief J. L. Beavers as the crux of practically all politics in Atlanta at present, de spite the careful avoidance by all candidates of making a public declar ation of their positions The story that throws new light on the situation involves the Seventh Ward aldermanic race and the nam ing of a successor to Police Com missioner J. X. MoEachem. Its chief significance lies in the fact that Seventh Ward politicians are more concerned over the election of the Police Commissioner than they are , °ver the naming of an Alderman. Coup for Anderson Rumored. Dan W. Walraven and Jesse Armis- tead had announced for alderman to succeed F. J. Spratling. The race seemed clean-cut, despite rumors of complications by the entrance of Marcellus Anderson. But out at a Masonic barbecue at Battle Hill Wednesday it was openly stated that both Walraven and Armistead would withdraw in favor of Anderson. Persons who posed as speaking for Mr. Walraven let It be known that they had engineered the deal and that for giving up his chances to be alderman Mr. Walraven would be mad Police Commissioner. The only obstacle in the way of the plan seemed to be that Councilman Colcord. the only hold-over represen tative from the Seventh Ward, had pledged his support to Fred Hester for Police Commissioner. Mr. Lester was chairman of a recent charter reform campaign committee. E. L. Dallas, the candidate for the other couneilmanic seat from that ward, and Marcellirs Anderson, alderman- to-be, are strongly allied with the old charter crowd. Their support for Walraven was said to be assured. Incentive Not Revealed. Tt Was not made quite clear just what the incentive for Mr. Armistead to withdraw was to be, but it was said his withdrawal was in the hands of Alderman F. J. Spratling. The whole scheme was exploded* it would Fieem. while its creators still were hopefully at work. Hearing the report, Mr. Armstead paid his $75 campaign entrance fee and announced that he was in the race to stay. Close on this a report was cir culated that friends of Alderman Spratling claimed enough votes to elect him to the police commission. Mayor James G. Woodward, sup posed to be lending his aid to Mr. Walraven. let it be known that he would support Mr. Armstead for Council and Fred Lester for the police commission. This would lead to the natural conclusion that Armstead, if elected, will support Lester. Hard Fight for Lester. Tf Lester should be elected. It would be Mayor Woodward’s first victory over the Mason police regime. It is safe to say he won’t be elected with out a hard fight. It is generally ex pected that Alderman Spratling will he put forward as the Mason candi date. There is a fight going on for the Eighth Ward police commissionership that is just as spirited. Robert Clark’s term expires next year, and Alderman A. H. Van Dyke is out for the seat. Both of them are op posed to Chief Beavers. policy. Strange to say, it was made known Thursday that both of them are for W. A. Hancock for Alderman against John S. Owens. Mayor Woodward has been friendly to both. If Mr. Owens should be elected Alderman neither of them would be likely to get the place. Neither of them are particularly suitable to the anti-Woodward crowed in Council. Except in extreem cases, it has been the policy of Council to elect such board members as were nomi nated by a majority of their ward representatives. But the present fight has become so intense that precedent may be said to be obsolete. King and Johnson Up. A. R. King. Ninth Ward Police Commissioner, and George Johnson. Sixth Ward Commissioner, also will be up for re-election next year. Mr. King, as' the Couneilmanic represen tative from his %vahd, is a strong supporter of Chief Beavers. Mr. John son has shown signs of opposition to the Chief. His Couneilmanic rep resentatives are for Beavers. Mr. Johnson likely will prove strong op position. If the new’ charter is adopted the whole Police Commission is abolished and a new’ one elected. In ^hat event, there will be a merry scramble for every place. Under the present laws. Chairman Carlos H. Mason. First Ward Com missioner. can not be re-elected. The adoption of the new charter will give With Copyright. 1018, Interactional Nows B*rvte« Aw, What’s the Use? 9.

Sept. 12.—“Rouge i? growing in popularity because women are losing the ability to blush,” de clared the Rt. Rev. J. S. Johnson Bishop of Western Texas, a guest of the Rev. Dr. Richard W. Hogue, of this city. “Women dress in these modern cos tume." designed by men tailors of Paris, who meet six months ahead of the season. Women in our land should rise up and throw off their bondage." .. B. & A. SALE HELD UP BY DEBT By B. C. FORBES. Your household expenses are apt to rise rather than fall during the next tw’elve months. * • • That is the discouraging fact writ ten across the face of the Govern ment’s report on crops, issued yes terday. • • • Whatever reductions in the cost of clothing and other necessaries may be brought about by the lower tariff duties will be offset, unfortunately, by higher prices for beef, pork, mut ton anU other foodstuffs, for the 1913 harvests are to be very light— the corn crop has fallen fully 775,- 000.000 bushels below’ last year, and nearly as much below the calcula tions of a month or tw r o ago. House holders will not be allowed to reap the full advantages of tariff reduc tions — the manufacturers, the im porters. the wholesalers and all sorts of dealers will see to that. By-and- by co-operative movements, munici pal markets and the like will bring some relief, buf for the immediate future the outlook Is not particularly cheerful. • • • You may not know that America’s corn crop is not only the most val uable one raised in this country, but i6 worth more than any single crop of any other country on the face of the earth. Therefore, the condition of corn is of prime importance. Whit are the facts to-day? • • • The government yesterday reported that corn is in a poorer state now than in any season since the disas trous year 1901. Last year corn filled 3,125,000,000 bushels. This year the outlook is for only 2,251,000,000 bushels, or the smallest in a decade. The need for heavier instead of lighter crops has become urgent, of course, through the enormous growth in population during recent years, to say nothing of the multiplicity of purposes for which corn In one form or another is now used. • • • The loss in corn will not fall short of half a billion dollars—equal to $5 ; for every man, woman and child in j the country. • • • You begin to see now, don’t you, I why the damage to corn is a serious matter for all of us? • • • Wheat has done excellently. A j total yield of over 750,000,000 bush- [ els Is promised for the year, or 25,- j 000,000 bushels above 1912 and the best in our history. * • * Every other crop, how’ever, has done w’orse than last year—and some of the so-called '‘minor" crops are of major importance to consumers, whose butchers’ and bakers’ bills are a serious matter. Take hay, for ex ample. It enters very largely Into the feeding of animals that furnish our tables. The 1913 yield of it is* pur by the Government at only 63,000,000 tons, against 73,000,000 tons Iasi year. Potatoes enter into the diet of all normal mortals here. Well, this year’s production is only 325,000,000 bushels, In contrast with 421,000,000 bushels in 1912, a shrinkage of nearly 100,000,000 bushels, or a whole bushel per capita. • • • All this is rather serious, isn’t it? • • • The effect upon general trade can not but be considerable. • • • Business throughout the country is still of large volume, although latest advices are less optimistic. The West persists in scoffing at the East’s conservatism—I talked with numbers of Western businesg men I met abroad and on the ocean, and a'.l bubbled over with confidence and en thusiasm. Bankers, however, are now urging caution. Profits have not been in harmony w ith the volume of busi ness done. There has been much trading on borrowed capital despite the lightness of stocks of merchan dise carried U.v most firms. • • • Did you notice the detailed state ment issued by the Comptroller of the Currency this week? National • bank loans ane the heaviest ever recorded—$6,164,000,000 — but depos its are far below’ those of a year ago and cash snows no appreciable gain over either 1912 or 1911. Chicago re ports more extended loans than a year ago despite a loss of cash and a heavy decline in deposits. New York banks have gained cash and cut down loans a little, but their de posits have dwindled no less than $130,000,000 • • • The Treasury’s plan to distribute money among banks is not working well. One New York bank has out standing more loans to banks than the Treasury is likely to make at any time this year. • • • To-morrow I intend giving public- I ity to a hidden chapter of national finance that will arouse nation-wide interest and force several gentlemen in high places to try to save their taoeg. Eleanor Wilson Is Denied Lower Berth NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—When Miss Eleanor Wilson, daughter of the Pres ident. learned on her train ride from New York to Cornish. N.

The receivers have assumed $5.- 000,000 indebtedness, for which they have issued certificates. The A. B. & A. consists of three parcels of property, the railroad proper and two terminal corporations, the Georgia Terminal Company and the Alabama Terminal Company. What proportion of the $5,000,000 debt should be assumed by each of the.-*e three was to have been decided by the master this w’eek, but, after two days of hearings, at which at torneys for the Old Colony Trust Company, of Boston, representing the bondholders, and attorneys for the holders of the receivers’ certificates were present, it was found that vital data were lacking. The auditors’ office has been given until October 7 to prepare these nec essary figures. Woman Near Death From Hunger Strike CLEVELAND. Sept. 12.—Mrs. Mar garet Carter, of Elyria.
