Note of Politics Creeps Into Scientific Address Before Economic Section. Politics is conspicuously lacking in ! the addresses delivered before the va rious sessions of the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science* held this week in Atlanta. But the vice presidential address of John Hays Hammond, of the eco nomic section, delivered Tuesday morning at the Georgia School of Technology, progressed from majestic figures on the volume of trade to a distinct statement that the "principle of protection should be maintained in the revision of the tariff." There was no criticism* one might say no suggestion, in the calm, dis passionate address of the famous ec onomic 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 oflr country from becoming the dumping ground for the surplus prod ucts of nations competing with us in foreign trade." Foreign Trade Figure*. "The total foreign trade of the world for 1911," Mr. Hammond said, "is estimated at $26,000,000,000. Great Britain’s share was $5,515,000,000. Germany was next, with $4,239,000,- 000. Tlie ('tilted States was third, with $3.540,000,000. "While third In the importance of foreign trade, our export trade, $2,- 013,000,Otto was in excess of Germa ny's and almost equal to that of Great Britain. ‘In the year 1?ti the domestic com merce of the United 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 Say*. "It Is the home market which sus tains the prices of farm products by developing a demand created in a large measure by the requirements of manufacturing industries. Then, top, all manufacturing centers obtain a reciprocal advantage by reason of the accessible of sources of relatively cheap foodstuffs and raw material. "The policy of preserving unim paired the purchasing power of our domestic markets must he 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 he able to establish the prin ciple of reciprocity in making com mercial agreements with other na tions and at tlie same time prevent our country from becoming the dump ing ground, as 1 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 r they can be de veloped without that intimate Inter course which results only from com mercial relations. * • * In short, it Is a community of in* rests above all else that fop the peace of the world." Other Section* 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, nlf*> the physicists, the chem ists, the mechanical scientists and the anthropologists.

Destructor Concern To Insist That City Test New Plant Now The arrival of W. E. Dowd. Jr., the sales representative of the Destructor Company, of New York, Ir. Atlanta Tuesday, developed the fact that the Destructor Company would Insist on the city making a test or the new crema tory. In addition the company will announce Its readiness to build for $110,000 an electric power plant In conjunction with the crematory capable of generating 1.600 kilowats of electricity.

Conference Likely To Clear Way for Howell Mill Bridge At a meeting between President Arkwright, of the Georgia Railway cmd 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 to be cleared LOCKER CLUBS ALL OUTLAWS. away from the proposition that the! Seaboard Air Line build a new bridge ; over the Howell Mill road at the in- ( tersertlon — a bridge to 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 car tracks, 'fhe railway company declines | to do this on the ground that it is strictly the work of the street rail way company. It is expected an agreement will be reached. East Atlanta to Demand Share of Citylmprovements Fast Atlanta came out Tuesday with the announcement that It had a brand-new improvement association, 1 and that it proposed to gets its share of the appropriations doled out by !

For i this trip please register with Secre- ; tarv, American Association for the Advancement of Science, at Piedmont i Hotel.—Advt. The Georgia Anti-Saloon League, through its executive chairman, the Rev. H. M. DuBose, 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 the 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 were 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 on 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. Atlanta does not need locker clubs (as 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 two young women as they emerged from a locker club in a skyscraper and entered the elevator. So heavy were the fumes of liquor on their breath that doubt was impossible. A young woman, late a servitress in a locker club, is now reported in a, 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 hut a few of the dozens of stories of like tenor. Shame burn to cinder the cheeks of men when 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 !n a recent high court decision 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 well being, and for Its name abroad,’ is the bold and factitious answer. Locker clubs have wrought irrepar able moral and commercial hurt to several cities of Georgia. 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 ore might he justified in appraising as good the festering, polluting, damning work of the average Georgn looker dub. “The demand made by the Chris tian public of this city is distinct: I*et 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.” 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 and the theft of an automobile was brought to light by Recorder Broyles Tuesday in Police Court in the case of Henry Matthews, a negro, charged with stealing a mule and wagon. Hr was bound over on a $1,000 bond. "You should have stolen 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 lie was arrested.

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, Edgewood, and also with kidnaping his two youngest children. In her petition Mrs. Aikens charges her husband with having an ungov ernable temper, with aause 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 with the revolver, lined them up and "marched them 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 deed giving him her interest in the property hi No 8 Nfelt avenue; that she received no consideration for this, but tii.it he forced her to do it by playing on her feelings 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. Solution of Rosier Mystery Near; Victim Of Hold-up Revives City detectives declared Tuesday they were near a solution of the Ro sier mystery. The confectioner who was attacked and robbed Saturday was conscious Tuesday. He could not talk, but wrote a question for the de tectives: “Did you get that cabman?’' Rosier had written the number of a cab before, and the detectives ar rested the negro driver, Ed Bowen. Chances for Rosier’s recovery were brighter Tuesday following opera tions. His left eye was removed and u broken jaw bone set. HoosiersFormSociety And Will Feast Jan.20 The first annual dinner of the Hoosier Society will be held at Hotel Ansley, January 20. More than 100 Indianians answered the call for the formation of the society Monday night. The executive committee is composed of W. L. Halstead, chairman; F. W. Greene, J. J. Lautey. J. R. MacEachern, Frank B. Jameson, Byron Saunders. W. H Harris. Joseph Brown, W. S. Kin caid. Jr., Charles F. Reno. C. E. Shep herd. George M Ryan and M. H. Swain. These will meet at noon, January 12, in Hotel Ansley. 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 chairman of the Board of Fi’-e Masters; Ashley will be reappointed chairman of the Sanitary Committee; Colcord will be renamed chairman of the Police Com mittee, and Smith chairman of the Tax Committee—that is, if the gossip can be relied upon. Mayor Woodward is leaving all of his friends more or less in the dark about his appointments. He discusses the matter with them and listens to w hat 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 Woodw’ard 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 his appointments, the members of Coun cil would not be left much more in the dark than they are at present.
