INSECT EXPERTS
TO DELVE INTO
EE
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
Cornell University Scientists Wil
Study Winter Habits of Bugs
in Great Swamp.
The entomological mysteries of the
Great Okefenokee Swamp are to be
explored again and possibly revealed
within the next three weeks, unless
an expedition setting out from Cor
nell University, and aided by F. L.
Worsham, State Entomologist, shad
go astray.
'The expedition is going after in
sects; mainly water insects not avail
able In summer," Mr. Worsham said
Monday. "Dr. J. C. Bradley and Dr.
i. G. Needham, of the Cornell facul
ty, will head the expedition, and there
will be a number of students along.”
Dr. Bradley in the summer months
is a most valued assistant of Mr.
M orsham s, and his chief gives him
credit for supplying Georgia with one
of the finest State collections in
America.
And here s another and very spe
cial feature of the expedition;
Hardy Ulm, executive secretary to
the Governor and known in his news
paper days as "Slippery Ulm,” is go
ing to delve into the buggish mys
teries of the big swamp to the extent
of three days, anyway.
Mr. Ulm is not exactly "strong” on
the bugs, but he is keen on adven
ture, and the reverberant echoes of a
large bear, slain by Mr. Worsham on
a t former excursion, have raised Mr.
Ulm's sporting blood to several de
crees above the fever mark.
"We will join the expedition on
Thursday morning at Fargo, Ga..”
said Mr. Worsham. “And the excur
sion will start at once from that
point, which is right on the edge of
the big swamp. We will have to walk
and wade about twenty miles, to be
gin with and that is no work for
moll.,codales, f can tell you. East
-tme I was in the great realm of the
'Trembling Earth’—that’s what the
Indian name mfans—it took us two
hours to struggle along three-quar
ters of one mile.”
Mr. Worsham added that the expe
dition was one of the preliminary' re
searches in advance of the big meet
ing In Atlanta December 29 to Janu
ary 3, when delegates to the conven-
1 ion of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science wall
gather here. The association has a
membership of nearly 10,000, and
there is sure to be a large attendance
at the meeting here.

Suffragist of Far
West Visits Dalton
DALTON, Dec. 15.—Mrs. Anna Mc-
Croskv, not only a suffragette, but one
of the voting kind, is here on a visit
to relatives, her home being in Colfax,
Wash.
Although believing firmly in woman's
right to vote, Mrs McCrosky is far
from being a militant suffragette, be

In the United States and the deadly

than in rural districts, due no doubt
to the increased number of indooi

their lack of sunshine
Tubercular germs always attack when

Railroad officials in Atlanta said
Monday that the Christmas traffic has
borne out the statement of Fairfax
Harrison, new president of the
Southern, that the Southeast is ex
periencing the greatest prosperity era
in its history and that the outlook is
unusually good.
While other sections of the coun
try suffered from a long drouth this
ear. which t ut the total corn yield
down 661,000,000 bushels,” said Mr.
Harrison, “the South was but 21,000,-
000 bushels short, and most of this
shortage was experienced in Ken
tucky and Tennessee. In the other
Southeastern States the production
has been nearly normal.
“In addition to this, the great cot
ton crop, which has moved fast and
brought a good figure, has served to
make it a wonderful year for the
Southern farmer. The territory trav
ersed by the Souhtern Railway has
been wonderfully prosperous and the
retail and wholesale trade in it has
been healthy.
“Other crops, including forage, have
turned out splendidly and, taking the
territory on the whole, I doubt wheth
er the farmers of the Southeast have
ever had a more favorable year. The
reports of cotton mill and knitting
mill development are particularly
noteworthy, while manufacturers in
most lines are finding their product
in great demand. Just at this time
there is a slight slackening in their
line on account of the Christmas holD
days, but this is a natural condition,
and in a short while everything will
be in good shape again. Undoubt
edly the South is facing its greatest
business outlook.”

CommerceCommission Delays De
cision on Change of Rates
Vital to Business.
By B. C. FORBES.
Will President Wilson please ask
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion to expedite its decision on rail
road rates?
* * *
Uncertainty kills.
* * *
I hear that a tremendously oner
ous demand for an entirely new
mass—mountain—of statistics has
been made at the suggestion of Mr.
Brandeis, whese attitude toward the
railroads is ivell known.
* * *
Here are the facts as I understand
them:
At a cost of more than a million
dollars the railroads have prepared
statistics of every conceivable kind
covering the last ten years.
This was thought sufficient in all
conscience.
Then the commission engaged Mr
Brandeis.
Not content with full records ex
tending back a whole decade. MR.
BRANDEIS. I AM TOLD, INDUCED
TIIE COMMISSION TO ORDER
THE RAILROADS TO COMPILE
SIMILARLY EXHAUSTIVE DATA
FOR FIVE YEARS FARTHER
RACK—BACK FIFTEEN YEARS
ALTOGETHER.
* * •
Now, railway accounts were not
always kept fifteen years ago as they
are prepared now, *nd in order to
have proper comparisons an appalling
amount of expert labor will have* to
be spent—and paid for.
* * *
YOU must pay for all these fifteen -
year-old statistics. Do YOU think
they are absolutely necessary? Have
YOU no objection to the whole ques
tion being held up indefinitely and ar
additional expense in
volved?
• • *
To thos»e of us who are neither law
yers nor experts records covering a |
full decade would seem to he suffi
cient on which to base an intelligent
decision. Why pile on the agony?
Why entail inordinate work and ex
pense. for which every one of us must
pay, sirnplv because the commission j
has it in its power to put the rail- |
roads through any paces it sees fit?
* * *
The delay involved is even more I
serious than tlie expense—much more j
serious. Mr. Brandeis, I understand,
was not prepared to go on with his |
case. As his engagement was appar
ently an afterthought, this is not as
tonishing. Presumably, the commis- I
sion reckoned that the shippers
would, if they had objections, hire |
counsel to present these objections,
as was done last time, and as every
body believed would be the natural j
thing to do again.
* * *
Last week the hearing was ad
journed “until some time after the |
holidays.”
Gentlemen of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, are you close I
enough to the affairs of the country to
realize that dawdling is dangerous?
Are you aware of the urgency for
prompt action? Can you not forego
a little holidaying at such a time as |
this, and. if necessary, put in a few
extra hours lo "expedite a matter sol
important? Even the United States |
Congress does not shut its eyes to j
such considerations.
Why not brush utterly inconse
quential cases to one side, buckle |
down to a. spell of hard work, and re
lieve the tension without one hour's |
unnecessary delay?
* • *
Let the business world know
where it is ar. Let ihe railroads know
whether they may resume placing j
orders, and thus stem the rising tide I
of unemployment, or whether they
must adjust themselves to conditions |
they complain have become well nigii
intolerable. Let investors have an |
idea of where they are to stand.
• • *
Everybody just now is in the dark. I
Everybody is guessing—and fretting.
• * *
My belief—very strongly held— >s [
that the whole course of industry and
prosperity in the United States wil'
be vitally affected by the Interstate
Commerce Commission's verdict. I
believe that a decision favorable t<»
Beggars’ Trust and
School for Teaching
Trade Tricks Found
j CHICAGO, Dec. 15.—The police to
day discovered a "panhandlers' trust”
I and a school for begging. It is said to

The Gay Cats” is the official name.
In one of the poorest neighborhoods of
Chicago the members gather every
night in a building rented with mone>

cruits are taught all the “trick* of the
trade.” illustrated by competent In
structors who “make up'' as cripples
