WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 Ab»olute ♦•xdunlon of militant suffragist*, lever* in sabotage and all member* of revolutionary societies in Russia and other foreign countries, is pro vided under an amendment secretly adopted by the House Immigration Committee to the pending immigra tion b1H. When the adoption of this amend menf became known here Chi* after noon 1t caused the utmost surprise Tta aooeprtanoe by Congress would pr«- verrt the United States becoming a haven for political refugees The amendment debars from the TTnlted States all persons believing in the deafnicHon of property or be longing to revolutionary' organiza tion*. It 1* the most sweeping ever proposed by a committee of either honse. Representative .fames Manahnn, of Minnesota, Progressive Republican, led the fight against the amendment. Representative A. P. Gardner, recent ly a Republican candidate for Gov ernor of Massachusetts, is reported to have voted for it, along with the Democratic majority. Representative Burnett, of Alabama, is chairman of the committee. This attempt to abolish the tradi tional "right of asylum" for political radical* fleeing from foreign lands to the United States is expected to arouse Instant protest throughout the country. When the immigration bill was before the Senate last year. Sen ator La Follette attached Senator Root for having placed in the bill a mild provision which might exclude i evolutionists. ‘There are 1 suspect, many bun dled* of automobiles in Georgia that ar* not. properly licensed and num bered, and If the owners thereof knew they were guilty of a misdemeanor In this matter, I feel sure, they would apply and get their tags," said Sec retary of State Phil ‘ ’ook to-day.

I Burglars Get Little Iu 2 Peachtree Raids Proprietors of two Peachtree stores opened their places of busi ness Friday morning to find that bur glars had been there during the night. Nothing of value was taken. Burglars forced an entrance into the Yancey Hardware Company at No 134 Peachtree street and ran sacked the stock. They got four re volvers. They entered on the Forsyth street side of the building The L. W. Rogers store at No. 109 Peach tree street also was visited, pre sumably by the same persons The cash register was broken open, but the robers got nothing, because the day's receipts had been banked the night before Methodists Oppose Carnegie's Millions TALLAHASSEE, FI,A. Dec 12 Resolutions indorsing the action of the bishops in refusing the offer of 11,000,000 made by Andrew Carne gie to Vanderbilt University, were passed by the Florida Conference of the Methodist Church, In session here This follows similar action by con ferences In Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and other States do not think there should be a single 1 ui numbered • ar in the State, and a I few arrests would bring about such a I condition, I feel sure. "Wo have issued nearly 24,000 mini- | bers n>) far, and I guess we should have issued over 26,000. "There ia another very widespread | misapprehension about the automo bile law that 1* going to get some body Into trouble sooner or later, and J this should be regulated, too Many j people seetn to think that the State, gives a. courtesy of 30 days to all cars i brought into the State bearing the tag of another State The State does do that, provided the owner of the 1 car is h non-resident and Is simply | sojourning in Georgia temporarily., But If the owner of the car lives in Georgia he has no courtesy extended to him, 30 days or otherwise -he is immediately subject to tax. "Sometimes people buy cars in, say, Alabama, and they come Into Georgia bearing Alabama fags. These tag* are no good in Georgia If the owners of such cars live here. The 30 days' courtesy merely applies to outsiders visiting in Georgia, and if they re main more than 30 days they must get a Georgia number " Governor Blafon reached Atlanta Thursday afternoon from a ten days’ visit to New York. He is in the ex ecutive offices <>f tiie Capitol to-day. Miss Constance Schley, a. graduate of the Georgia Normal School and an authority on educational matters, rather severely arraigns the common school system of Georgia in a recent statement, and what she says, white it will not be agreed to in all quar ters, nevertheless will command re spect generally. There are a good many people who realize that there ’s much truth, In part, at lea-si, in what she says, In part Miss Bchle.v says "Almost the first indication that n people manifests of awakening in terest in children is their willingness to tax themselves locally and liberal ly for better schools, better srhooi- houses, better teachers and better teaching "The school of permanent influ- * i . pi d \ local Initiative, local self-sacrifice and local tax in behalf of good schools: and the problem can be solved in no other way. "Only two States in the Union at tempt to solve the common-school problem with great lumpsums appro priated out of the State Treasury. .Mississippi is one and Georgia is th*' other; and the rank of these two States in the column of Illiteracy is forty-fifth and forty-sixth. During the last twenty >ear» the common- school appropriation of Georgia ha* been nearly quadrupled, but Geor gia’s place in the illiteracy column remains exactly the same’ "Ours is a mistaken policy. Noth in Is clearer than this The rn^fj) mon school problem can not be solve I In this way. It never was solved this way n any State of the Union "Local taxation for schools has be gun In Georgia and local school sys tems are multiplying, but our reli ance is still mainly upon legislative appropriations. Ti e policy • fuftlla and foollah, and this ought to he said bravely and j| convincingly in every community in|| Georgia. "We shall never have country schools of permanent influence with out tin* local pride that is equal to a local school tax. Twenty-nine coun ties of the State have county-wide loeal-ta x school systems. There ought to he 148 such counties in Georgia, all of them under adequate, efficient su pervision.” The Governor has been requested j to Increase the Georgia committee on j next year’s world-tv Ida celebration of the peace pact of Ghent-—whereby war wjis concluded between England and the United‘ States, following the unpleasantness of 1812—from five to J llfly or a hundred, This committee was named origi- j nally several years ago by Governor \ Joseph M. Terrell, but since that time the scope of fh-e proposed celebration has Been very greotlv widened, and It . is the very earnest desire of its pro- . motors to make It of as great slgnlfl- I canoe as possible. . .. j 'Hie Governor w’lll comply with the request and will name two or more members from each Senatorial dls- | trlct in the State.
