Offers Resolution in House to
Suspend Exemption Clause for
Two Years—Wilson Silent.
NEW YORK. Dec. 27 -A flood de-
I niand from spot house* for January and
I March, aselafed by fleneral week end
! mvcrlng bj short*, resulted In a steady
lone ht the opening of the cotton mar-
| kei to-<Ja\ and first price* acre at a
net advance of 1 to ft points front the
cloning quotation* of Frlda.t.
On the rail ttie list developed pro
nounced strenflth and seller* were very
* few and far between. However, there
were only a few broker* on the floor,
and It seemed to he a typical holiday
market. The liver pool exchange wa*
closed, but thi* had no effect on quo
tation* Instead of resting, as pre-
| dieted, the market rallied more than 50c
h Pair from the initial range and held
the advance There wa* tnore perslst-
| ent buying by lejwling spot interest*.
| while liquidation evidently had spent
its force before the holiday*.
NEW YORK COTTON.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2 7r— ( hair-
mnn Adamson, of the House Inter
state and Foreign Commerce Com
mitter has struck his first blow t
free Panama Canal tolls for Ameri
can t oast wise vessels.
In joint resolution lie propose* .t
suspension of the existing law r >r
free tolls to American ships for two
years that the cost of operation of
the Panama Canal may be ascer
tained During these two years
American ships, coastwise and ocean
'freighters, would pay the same tolls
as all foreign ships.
The President is given authority to
pass on the relative cost of using the
Panama Canal and its maintenance,
and at the end of two years may de
cide whether the tolls thus collected
will be more than sufficient for maln-
•enance of cost of operation of the
anal. In this event the President is
to enforce the law for free can i!
tods for American ships.
Beaten Twice Before.
Adamson has been beaten twice on
a like proposition, and the comm: -
tee membership has not been changed
in the last two years. Adamsons
resolution provides
“That the operation and enforce
ment of the following provision: ‘No
tolls shall he levied upon vessel* en
gaged in the coastwise trade of the
Cnited States,’ which provision 1* the
second sentence In section 5 of tie-
act entitled ‘an ad to provide f »n
the opening, maintenance, protection
and operation of the Panama Canal
and sanitation and government of
•he Canal Zone,’ approved August 24.
1912. shall he and hereby is sus
pended subject to the'following con-
di; ions :
At any time after the Panama
anal shall have been opened and
successfully operated for two year.*,
f. In the Judgment of the President,
the revenue derived from toll* of vea-
-els other than those engaged in the
oastwiae trade of the Cnited State*
•shall he sufficient to defray the cost
.f maintaining «.nd operating the ■ i-
rial and the expense of government
<nd sanitation of the Canal Zone, and
>.!1 diplomatic questions touching the
treatment of vessels as to conditions
r charges of traffic at he canal shill
have been adjusted, then the Presi
dent is authorized to issue an execu
tive order declaring such suspended
exemption of full force ..nd effect.
Plan Is Test, He Says.
From the date of such executive
■rder such exemption shall b<* allowed
and enforced, but until such execu
tive order shall have been issued the
\esnels engaged in the coastwise
trade of the Cnited Slates shall pay
the name tolls required of other ves
sels."
Explaining his resolution. Mr.
Adamson says:
This resolution proposes two
things -first, an experimental test to
demonstrate whether or not the tolls
will pay the expenses of operating j
the Canal exclusive of the tolls of j
the coastwise trade, and the other, to
afford opportunity to adjust all ques- j
ions of diplomacy touching the to' v
If it is demonstrated that the tolls j
ire sufficient to spare the tolls to the
oastwise trade. ; he Stale Depart
ment will he allowed time to pdjust
questions growing out of the treaty ]
stipulation*, and if the advocates of
exemption are founds to have been
correct in their contention as to a
sufficiency of revenue and the diplo
matic (questions are settled in their
favor, an executive order will then
put the exemption into force.”
Wilson Silent on Plan.
Representative Adamson intro
duced the resolution on his own re-
ooimlblHty, and It "ill not g-> before
Congress as an Administration meas
ure It was said in high official cir
cle*. however, that the silence of the
Administration did not mean that the
proposed step was disapproved. Any'
declaration of policy on the subject
of canal tolls has been avoided since
President Wilson assumed office last
Mai rh.
When Ambassador Bryce left |
Washington in April, it was vaguely
understood that he had some sort of
assurance that no effort would be
made by the Cnited States to execute
the free tolls provisions of the canal
act.
The weight of opinion in official
circles is that now that Sir Cecii
Spring-Rice, the present British Am
bassador. has regained his health, he
will be prepared to resume the nego
tiations at the noint where they wer^
suspended, though he probably will
wait a reasonah.e time to afford
Congress an opportunity to act upon
the Adamson bill.

mays: "Holiday markets would he dull

laugh came when the notice* of inten
tion to deliver cotton on contract began
to circulate. It seems there were two
December notices, along with 16 or more
January notice*, started on the wav to
ward final lodgment. A broker who ex
pected January notice* only mistook a
December notice for a January docu
ment and promptly liquidating one Jan
uary contract, panned the notice on to
the next broker, who followed in the
footstep* of the first. A third broker
did the *elf name thing, finally the error
wa* detected and the poor old Decem

Wainwright and Others Make Plea
for Four-Battleship Plan to
Insure Peace.
CHICAGO. Dec. 27.—A plea for four!
new battleships a year and praise for |
William Randolph Hearst. were the j
features of an address made here be-
for the Hamilton Club by Re^r Ad
miral Richard Wainwright.
Rear Admiral Wainwright was ex
ecutive officer on board the Maine
when that ship was blown up In
Havana harbor on February 15. 1898.
He sharply criticised the “inadequate
naval program” outlined by Con
gress. Colonel Robert M. Thompson,
president of the New York Athletic
Club and chairman of the Amerioan
Committee on Olympic Games, ably
seconded the rear admiral.
‘ Unless we have a strong navy for
coast defense it will be as easy for
foreign armies to capture Chicago as
New York and San Francisco.” said
Colonel Thompson. Rear Admiral
Wainwright said he was in favor of
peace, but that his methods were
different than those of the pacificists.
“Preachers of that false security
called peace think an international
court will decide questions of na
tional honor in the future." he said.
“They fail to understand that the
court must have a strong military
power at hand to enforce its de
cisions.
“We should build four battleships
each year, with the necessary auxil
iaries. Up to the present time we
owe everything we have accom
plished to William Randolph Hearst
for his untiring efforts in behalf of
a larger navy. He has aroused the
nation and will arouse it still fur
ther. we are sure, until we get some
action taken that will insure this
country against the attacks of its
possible enemies.
“As our navy stands to-day. it is
efficient as to officers, men and ships,
but we are hopelessly outnumbered
by the great military powers, and we
need a navy for defense. The coun
try is rich enough.
“You can’t get recruits on the eve of
war and get them into fighting trim
In a few weejes. By the time they are
ready to fight the war is over."

Here are figures that tell their own story of Georgia. While the won

nation, so rich is Georgia’s marvelous versatility of resources and such
has been her unquestioned leadership in progress, that she has worthily
won the undisputed title of the “Empire State of the South.” The figures
speak for themselves. /
