NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
Developments at the meeting of the
Board of Education Thursda> after
noon indicated thaf the long-threat
ened readjustment of teachers’ mla-
ney may be near at hand.
The ’ioard found itself confronted
v* itn u ruling by City Attorney James
L. Mayson against giving teachers
credit for experience previous to their
employment in the Atlanta school
system and a resolution from the City
r ound! asking for a report on needed
changes in the salary system of the
schools. The members of the Board
of Education declared that a compli
ance with these measures would have
a radical effect on the school system.
The ten members present voted flvft
ugainst five on a motion to comply
with the city attorney’s ruling. Then
in reply to the Council resolution they
adopted a resolution asking Council
to give them authority to make the
adjustments.
Rules on Mayor's Protest.
The ruling of Attorney Mayson
came as a result of a recent protest
by Mayor Woodward against salary
Increase* for a number of teachers
because of experience in other cities.
The system long has been in practice
in Atlanta, enabling Atlanta, accord
ing to Superintendent Slaton, to get
many well-trained teachers from
other cities. As soon as they demon
strate their efficiency they are ad
vanced on the salary scale according
to the number of years they have
taught.
Attorney Mayson s ruling is that
their pay can not be Increased except
on a basis of the number of years
they have taught in Atlanta.
Tie Vote on Ruling.
On a motion by Harvey Hatcher to
comply with Mr Mayson’s ruling, the
vote was:
Aves—Hatcher, Key, Green. Eu
banks. Guinn—5.
Noes—Terrell, Pierce. Chambers,
Mfg&n, Armistead—5.
The opinion of members of the
board is that whatever action is taken
will depend upon the attitude of the
City Council on the request of the
Board of Education to readjust sala
ries rather than to recommend
changes to the Council.
Congressman Talks
To Retail Merchants
William .Schley Howard, member of
Congress fr »m the Fifth Georgia Dis
trict addressing the Retail Grocers’
snd Butchers Association Thursday
night at the Chamber of Commerce,
said that a great business organiza
tion representing all branches of re
tail trade can be of much help In plac
ing Georgia in the front rank of food
producing States of the country.
“A well-prepared home-grown prod
uct.” Mr Howard said, "will meet the
approval of the retail trade Just as
quickly as Imported stuff, and I do not
hesitate to say that If we work to tho
end of boosting Georgia products It
will be of the greatest aid to our agri
cultural development.”

Million Profit in

thority for saying J. Plerpont Mor
gan's profit on the sale of his porce
lain collection was SI,000,000. The sale
of all the Morgan collections, which
is thought to be certain, meets with
mixed feelings among dealers.
While It will paralyze their business

answer “yes” or "no" whe nposslb’e,
then amplify his answers.
The question was then repeated.
"I advised with Mr. Barnes,’’ said
the Colonel, "because I found Barnes
above the average of ordinary politi
cal leaders.’’
\ "I thought hi« morality at least
above the ordinary political and busi
ness morality and believed he had it
in him to become a valuable leader in
the State. I hoped to eliminate the
bad in Mr. Barnes and develop the
good."
Barnes a Jekyl-Hyde.
"Why did you want to reform Mr.
Barnes ?”
"I found him a Dr. Jekyl and. Mr.
Hyde,” replied the Colonel. "I
wanted to save Dr. Jekyl and kill Mr.
Hyde. Mr. Barnes was only one of
hundreds of political men through
out the country in whom I was in
terested trying to bring out the most
there wan in them—trying to make
them useful citizens.”
"When did Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde
separate?" asked Ivins. "When did It
become necessary to sever the liga
ment uniting these Barnes Siamese
twins?”
"I’d not say it was a severing of the
ligament," said the Colonel laughing,
"but rather a case of one absorbing
the other —Dr. Jekyl being swallowed
up by Mr. Hyde.”
Mr. Roosevelt admitted he twice
appointed Barnes to office and said he
entirely abandoned hie missionary
work in 1911.
Mr. Ivins read from the autobio
graphy that any phrases such as “in
visible government,” "invisible em
pire,” etc.
"Is it not a fact,” said Mr. Ivins,
"that you have used in your testimony
to-day exact phrases from your auto
biography?” ,
"1 do not remember."
Colonel Smiling at Start.
Colonel Roosevelt was recalled to
the stand for further cross-examina
tion when court reconvened. He was
smiling as he took his seat, but did
not glance In the direction of Mr.
Barnes.
The first questions put to the Colo
nel by Mr. Ivins dealt with the Al
bany Legislature while Roosevelt was
Governor.
"Who were the leaders in Albany
then?” asked Mr. Ivins.
"I do not know," said the Colonel.
"Who wus the chairman of the Fi
nance Committee and the Ways and
Means Committee?”
"1 remember Mr. Higgins (once
Governor) was chairman of the Fi
nance Committee.”
"Who was the chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee?”
"1 don’t remember.”
"Shall I consult the records?" asked
Ivins.
"1 do not need my memory re
freshed," said the Colonel with a
smile.
"Do you not remember that Mr.
Allds was that chairman?”
"No.”
"Did you veto any appropriation
bills prepared by these committees?”
Mr. Roosevelt did not remember,
but said the records would show.
"Who was the Democratic leader in
the State at that time?” asked Mr.
Ivins.
Goes Into Autobiography.
"The Democratic leadership was
held in commission. Mr. David B.
Hill was the up-State leader, with
Richard Croker as leader in New
York City, Croker’s power rapidly
growing at the expense of Hill,” an
swered the Colonel.
"What was the standing of Mr.
Hill?”
"He was not so influential as Mr.
Platt and Mr. Odell," said Mr. Roose
velt.
Mr. Ivins then produced the auto
biography written by Colonel Roose
velt In 1913, and asked the Colonel
about certain references to Senator
Platt. R. B. Odell, D. B. Hill, Richard
Croker and William Barnes.
I "I made no reference to Mr.
Barnes," was the answer
"Then your opinion of Mr. Barnes
was not the same in 1913 as. when
you wrote the statement in 1914 of
which we complain?” asked Ivins.
"It was." said the witness, "but I
purposely refrained from saving any
thing malicious about Mr. Barnes. I
was not writing my autobiography to
appeal to the voters of New York
State "
"I do not want that," interposed
Mr. Ivins.
"Let him finish his answer,” said
Mr. Bowers.
"You asked the question." said Jus
tice Andrews.
’Tie answered it,” said Ivins.
Court Lets Him Finish.
"I did not finish my answer,” de
clared the Colonel.
"Go ahead,” said the court.
! "If my autobiography had been
written as a political document I
might have mentioned Mr. Barnes,"
said the Colonel, facing the jury and
driving home each word. "But my
autobiography was written as a lit
erary work and was not an appeal to
the voters of New York. Therefore, I
refrained purposely from attacking
Mr. Barnes .”
The interrogation then Jumped to
Mr. Roosevelt’s attack on "invisible
government” mentioned in his auto
biography. Parts of the autobiogra
phy were read.
"Do you remember,” asked Ivins,
"leaving the autobiography for a
while, when Charles F. Murphy was
the nominal Democratic leader in New

York? Was he a leader at all before
he became head of Tammany?”
"I would not say so, but I do not
remember much about Mr. Murphy
before that. I think Mr. Murphy had
to do battle with Mr. McCarren, of
Brooklyn, before he could become
Democratic boss. There was also a
battle with William J. Connors, of
Buffalo, but I can not remember
which side he was on.”
Colonel Happy Man.
Colonel Roosevelt was the hap
piest man in Syracuse to-day.
He told his friends that his case
had been clinched and that the props
had been knocked out from under the
complaint of Barnes.
The Colonel was particularly jubi
lant over the outcome of the duel of
witness and counsel in which he had
engaged Thursday with William M.
Ivins, chief counsel for the plaintiff.
"Mr. Ivins is the best friend I have
in the world,” said the Colonel to one
of his lawyers. When the remark
was repeated to Mr. Ivins he made no
comment, unless a grunt *of scorn
could be taken for comment.
Colonel Roosevelt has grinned like
a happy boy ever since his testimony
of yesterday. Whatever may be
the opinion of the public, the Colonel
is ‘‘atlsfled he has scored heavily
against the man he accused as a cor
rupt boss—that he has "drawn first
blood.”
Grateful to Ivins.
His remark about Ivins being his
friend meant that he thanked the op
posing lawver for laying the platform
that allowed the ex-President to set
forth his view’s from the stand.
The throng that flocked to the
Onondaga courthouse to-day hours
before they could get in showed that
the Colonel is the hero of the town.
The man who could knock the war
from the front page of every news
paper, regardless of its politics, has
won the admiration of the people
here.
Roosevelt adherents to-day de
clared he had "come back” and that
William Barnes, the Colonel’s accuser
in this sensational lawsuit, has done
for Mr. Roosevelt what he never
could have done for himself.
On the other hand, Mr. Barnes ami
his advisers appear confident the case
is just begun, they say.

hoped by both sides that the Colonel’s
cross-examination would be finished
to-day. If It Is. there will be no ses
sion of the court to-morrow and the
lawyers ;n the case will he the guests
of Judge W. 8. Andrews on his farm
for the week-end.
This may not be a political trial, as
Mr. Ivins declared, and there has > ,
been no important politics In the tes- I ( lArn 1T| G fl fi PV fit Hi O’
tlmony. but the up-8tate politician . U Will III Cl JiU. Cl Ui
who can get to Syracuse Is here and |
nothing but politics Is talked In the j
courthouse corridors and the lobbies
of the hotels.
The tremendous Interest of the peo- |
pie and the near riots for admission
to the courtroom before the session
opened indicated this would be an
other "Roosevelt day"—with the gal
lery, If not with the jury.

About the first thing a visitor notices In a
city new to him is that city’s street railroad.
He can’t help seeing it. It’s before his eyes.
Consciously or unconsciously he forme from
it one of his very first impressions of the city
it’s serving.
If it’s shabby, dilapidated, dejected, discour
aged, inefficient, the newcomer's impression's
sure to be unfavorable.
If the street railroad’s efficient, if its vehicles
are neat and attractive, if its employes are
polite and courteous as contented men must
[be, the visitor's impression’s certain to bet
i favorable.
And first impressions count. They make or
mar anything, anybody, unless later impres
sions are tremendously powerful. They’re never
entirely erased from a neivcomer's mind.
Atlanta Is a prideful city today because she's
made good first-impressions on strangers
through many years back. Thousands of ’em
have stayed or returned.
A prosperous street railroad has incentive to
give good service, pay good wages, keep Us
cars and other equipment neat and efficient, ex
tend existing lines, build new ones, enlarge Its
plants, contribute to the promotion of pubMc
enterprises.
Therefore you're bound to be interested in
our part in the city's great works.
Aren't you?
