P. V. L* Smith, the secretary of the organiza tion and a manufacturers' agent like ly will be the most Important witness called Chambers Shows Hand. Attorney Chambers laul down his hand At the meeting Monday and showed Just what he intended trying to establish by the testimony of J. ,7. Peters, manager of the Cotton States Elecrlc Company. "1 am only seeking a fair deal,’* said Peters, "and since 1 withdrew from this association of contractors Mr. Turner hasn't given It to me I had to withdraw from the association because I wasn’t getting a square deal In It. “I was a member at the time of Mr. Turner’s last election. Practically all the contractors were against him, but when he was re-elected by such a large majority they decided to get on the good side of him so he wouldn’t cause any trouble." Peters then exhibited some type written sheets of paper which he said were financial statements of the Elektrori Company. One Item wan "R C. T.. $189." Another was "R. C. T., luncheon. $14 75." The date of the report was November, 1912. Tells of Paying Debts. "R C T stands for R O. Turner, city electrician,” said Peters. “The $180 was given to him cash. Many other times money was raised to pay debts for him Altogether I know the Association of Electrical Contractors raised $70 or $800: in fact, he got the biggest part of the money raised by the association.” Electrician Turner sat perfectly calm during this testimony His at- U, S, Likely to Bar Improper ‘Movies' J WASHINGTON.

L .1 Raley, special Investigator for the Department of Justice, has com pleted his preliminary Investigation of the "egg situation” in Atlanta and has forwarded bis report to Attorney General Mr Reynolds The investiga tion has so far covered the situation only in Atlanta, but it is probable that Mr Baley will be ordered to Tennessee, which is in his district, for an investigation of cold storage houses and egg dealers of that State. While Mr. Baley refused to make public the contents of his report, it is generally understood that it will not be followed by any prosecutions in Atlanta, unless it Is extended later to the charges that local dealers sell cold storage eggs under the guise of fresh eggs. “I found no corner in eggs in At lanta.” Mr. Baley said Tuesday morning, "and did not expect to when I started the investigation. There are not enough cold storage eggs in Atlanta to make a corner possible. All the cold storage eggs here could be cornered and the consumer would never he aware of it, because enough 9ggs can be obtained from the sur rounding country’ to supply the de mand.' torney, Carl Hutcheson, sought to discount Peters' statements on tlie grounds that Peters was a violator of the law and had a reason to conspire against Turner. J. F. Ryan. J. E. Sailing and sev eral other members of the Elektron Company were called to the stand. They were told that they had to an swer the questions asked or suffer the legal penalty. They said they had heard of money being given to Tur ner, but no one would admit personal knowledge of it. The tendency of the testimony of each was to designate the source of the correct information of the association to be the secre tary, Mr. Smith. It Is understood that Mr. Baley’s investigation dealt mainly with the possibility that there is some connec tion between Atlanta dealers and the dealers who manipulate the alleged RESINOL MAKES ECZEMA VANISH Stops Itching and Burning Instantly.
