The arrival of W. E. Dowd, Jr., the

Company, of New' York, in Atlanta
j Tuesday, developed the fact that the
Destructor Company w'ould insist on the

Its readiness to build for $110,000 an

They will ask the new finance com

There was no criticism, one might
say no suggestion. In the calm, dia-
j passionate address of the famous ec-
j onornic expert. But he drew a dis
tinct picture of the probable reuslts
of partisanship In the matter of tar
iff tinkering, and especially stressed
the protective feature, “to prevent
our country from becoming the
dumping ground for tho surplus prod
ucts of nations competing with us in
foreign trade."
Foreign Trad© Figures.
"The total foreign trade of the
world for 1911," Mr. Hammond said,
"is estimated at $26,000,000,000. Great
Britain’s share was $5,615,000,000.
Germany was next, with $4,239,000,-
000. 'The United States was third,
with $3,540,000,000.
"While third In the importance of
foreign trade, our export trade. $2,-
013,000,000. was in excess of Germa
ny’* and almost equal to that of
Great Britain.
"In the year 19’ i the domestic com
merce of the I’nited States amount
ed to upward of $25,000,000,000 |
seven times as great as our foreign
trade, and nearly equal to the com
bined foreign trade of all the nations
of the world.
Look to Home Market, He Says.
"It is the home market which sus
tains tly prices of farm products by
developing a demand created in a
large measure by the requirements of
manufacturing industries. Then, too,
all manufacturing centers obtain a
reciprocal advantage by reason of the
accessibili* of sources of relatively
cheat) foodstuffs and raw material.
"The policy of preserving unim
paired the purchasing power of our
domestic, markets must be the key
note of our economic and fiscal legis
lation.
"The tariff problem, which so vi
tally affects the welfare of our na
tion, should be entirely dissociated
from our partisanship, and should be
regarded as purely an economic Is
sue In the revision of the tariff the
principle of protection should be
maintained, since by that policy we
would be^able to establish the prin
ciple of reciprocity in making com
mercial agreements with other na
tions and at the same time prevent
our country from becoming the dump
ing ground, as I have said, for the
surplus products of nations compet
ing with us in foreign trade.”
Mr. Hammond .spoke feelingly of
the "sentimental side” of foreign
trade.
"Sympathy and understanding ad
mittedly are essential to binding na
tions together,” he said, “and 1 can
not apprehend how they can be de
veloped without that intimate inter
course which results only from com
mercial relations. • * * In short, it
is a community of interests above all
else that «kes f*-»r the peace of the
world.”
Other Sections in Session.
While the economic section was
meeting at Tech the botanists and the
geologists were holding their session
at the State Capitol. The zoologists
and the entomologists were at the At
lanta Medical College; the mathemat
ics and astronomy sections were at
Tech, also the physicists, the chern
lets. the mechanical scientists and the
anthropologists.
Papers of from 10 to 30 minutes
were read, there was open discussion

possible ways of imparting informa

At a meeting between President
Arkwright, of the Georgia Railway
and Power Company, and a commit
tee of Howell Mill road citizens to
be held Tuesday in President Ark
wright's office the last points of dis
agreement are expected io be cleared
away fr<»m the proposition that the
Seaboard Air Line build a new bridge
over the Howell Mill road at the In
tersection a bridge lo take the place
of the present condemned structure
and strong enough to carry the heav
iest type of electric cars.
The only difference at present is In
regard to the flooring of the bridge
and its preparation to carry street cai
tracks. The railway company declines
to do this on the ground that it is
Strictly the work of the street rail- i
way company. It is expected an !
agreement will be reached.
The Georgia Anti-Saloon League,
through its executive chairman, the
Rev. H. M. Du Bos/, made another
protest Tuesday against the con
tinued existence of the locker clubs
which are claimed to be defying the
law as much by selling liquor to
members as by selling to non-mem
bers.
Dr. DuBose asserted that one of
jhe greatest evils of the locker clubs
was that young women were in the
practice of visiting the clubs with
escorts and becoming shamefully in
toxicated.
Here is his formal statement, in
part:
"Atlanta enjoyed this year some
thing of a '.sane* Christmas. Law
breaking and crime w’ere curtailed
one-half. The record is encouraging.
This record is encouraging. The
conclusion is inevitable that, had
ALL the locker clubs of Atlanta
been closed 6n Christmas Day, along
with their allies, the near-beer sa
loons. the record would have been
another 50 per cent better. Out of
experience comes judgment
Steal Mule, You'll
Get 4 Years-Auto,
12 Months Is Limit
An odd discrimination in law be-
< tween the theft of a mule and wagon
I and the theft of ari automobile was
- brought to light by Recorder Broyles
Tuesday in Police Court in the case
I of Henry Matthews, a negro, charged ■
with stealing a mule and wagon. He
was bound over on a $1,000 bond.
“You should have stoleh an auto
mobile,’’ said the Recorder. “The theft
of an $8,000 limousine is a misdemea
nor and punishable by a sentence of
not over twelve months while the
stealing of a $40 mule and wagon is
a felony and makes you liable to a
penitentiary sentence of four or five
years.”
The negro was charged with taking
the mule and wagon from before the
Temple Court Building to Jonesboro,
where he was arrested.

Record Shipment
Of 17 Carloads of
Autos to Pass Here
A record shipment of ai^fcomobiles
of one make to a Southern city—sev
enteen carloads—will pas* through
Atlanta Tuesday night at 10 o’clock
en route to Jacksonville, Fla.
The local offices of the Georgia
Southern and Florida Railroad re
ceived advices of the Rhloment Tues
day and were requested to assist in
making it a record shipment also in
point of time. The seventeen cars
are filled with Fords from the Detroit
factory for L. O. Oliver, a Jackson
ville agent. They are moving by
way of the Miciiigan Central and Big
Four to Cincinnati, the Louisville and
Nashville Cincinnati to Atlanta, the
Georgia Railroad from here to Ma
con, and the G. S. & F. the remainder
of the trip.
This is said to be the largest ship
ment of automobiles to any Individual
in the South.
Atlanta
does not need locker clubs fas she
does not need near-beer saloons).
They are the fly in her social oint
ment, and this I propose to make
plain.
Testimony Damning.
"The locker clubs have persistently
flouted the law of the sovereign State
of Georgia. Testimony as damning
as It is dismal may be had first hand.
A business man recently observed
j two young women as they emerged
! /rom a locker club in a skyscraper
i arid entered the elevator. So heavy
w’ere the fumes of liquor on their
I breath that doubt was impossible. A
j young woman, late a servitress in a
locker club, is now reported in a
I house of rescue. Another place is
alleged to be constantly frequented
by young women. Who are they?
They are daughters and sisters—and
there’s the pity of it! These are but
a few’ of the dozens of stories of like
tenor. Shame burn to cinder the
cheeks of men w hen such things can
be!
"The law of Georgia forbids the
sale of intoxicating liquors, absolute
ly. Judge Russell, whom nobody will
accuse of being a prohibitionist, de
clared in a recent high court decision 1 deed giving
that IT IS AS UNLAWFUL FOR A
LOCKER) CLUB TO SELL To ITS
MEMBERS AS IT IS TO-SELL TO
NON-MEMBERS. Yet every locker
club in Atlanta is selling whisky, and
there are those who would have these
conditions perpetuated.
Likened to Plague.
"There is no mistaking the voice
of the street. And to what end? ‘For
the city’s good—for its commercial
w’ell being, and for its name abroad,’
is the bold and factitious answer.
Locker clubs have wrought irrepar
able moral and commercial hurt to
i several cities of fteorgia. Every
where they have been a moral infec
tion and a commercial reproach. Good
for the city! If a shower of plague
germs or a simoon of Chagres fever
could be counted good, then or.e might
be justified in appraising as good the
festering, polluting, damning work of
tlie average Georgrt locker club.
"The demand made by the Chris
tian public of this city is distinct:
Let the City Council provide for the
automatic and irrevocable cancella
tion of the licenses of every near-
beer saloon and every locker club
whose managers or responsible agents
are convicted of violating the law.
Evidence of such violation is plen
tiful.”
The filing of a petition for divorce
in the Atlanta Superior Court Tues
day by Mrs. Ella L. Aikens against
Samuel C. Aikens formed a sequel to
the appearance of the latter at police
headquarters Monday afternoon, bad
ly disfigured, and charging two of his
sons with assaulting him near his
wife’s home at No. 8 Mell avenue,
Kdgew’ood, and also with kidnaping
his two youngest children.
In her petition Mrs. Aikens charges
her husband with having an ungov
ernable temper, with aouse of her
and her children, and with having
shot at one of his sons.
On July 12, 1908, the petition
charges, he went to Mrs. Aiken’s
home and with a loaded revolver took
possession of the house, while the
family fled to the house of a neigh
bor; that he followed them, and,
threatening them w
lined them up and
back home like so many prisoners.'
Shortly afterward he packed his suit
case and left home.
He returned January 1, 1909, and
“after a violent outbreak of temper
shot at one son.”
Mrs. Aikens also charges that he
coerced her into signing a warranty
him her interest in the
property at No. 8 Mell avenue; that
she received no consideration for this,
but that he forced her to do It by
playing on her feeling* and by creat
ing anxiety for her children.
Aikens is said to possess property
worth from $5,000 to $7,000 and to
earn a salary of $200 per month. An
order was granted by Judge George
L. Bell restraining him from dispos
ing of any of his property or molest
ing Mrs. Aikens. A hearing on this
temporary injunction will be given
January 6.
Mayor Woodward Tuesday threat
ened to hide out until he could write
his annual message and make up his
committees for the new Council be
cause of constant interruptions.
He held a conference Tuesday with
Alderman J. H. Harwell, Councilman
Claude L. Ashley, Councilman Charles
W. Smith and Councilman A. R. Col-
cord. Committee appointments were
discussed. It was pretty well under
stood what these men would get,
Harwell likely will be chainnan of
the Board of Fire Masters; Ashley
will be reappointed chairman of the
Sanitary Committee: Colcord will be
lenamed chairman of the Police Com
mittee, and Smith chairman of the
Tax Committee—that is, if the gossip
can be relied upon.
Mayor Woodw’ard is leaving all of
bis friends more or less in the dark
about his appointments. He discusses
the matter with them and listens to
what they have to say, but what he
is going to do he keeps to himself.
Doubt has arisen over the appoint
ment of the chairman of the Finance
Committee. A few days ago it was a
foregone conclusion that Councilman
W. G. Humphrey would be renamed.
Now’ it is uncertain. The chances are
Mr. Humphrey will get the place, but
Alderman C. H. Kelley and Alderman
Harwell are being considered.
The fact is, if Mayor Woodward
should carry out his threat of going
into seclusion until the meeting of
the City Council Monday, when he
will deliver his message and make hi?
appointments, the members of Coun
cil would not be left much more in
the dark than they are at present.
