HOBOKEN, N. J Dec. 4.—The
peace ship Qscar 11, carrying Henry
Ford and his expedition of pacifists,
sailed for Christiania this afternoon.
Before he bhoarded the liner Mr. Ford
delivered a messaee to the American
people, in which he said he expected
great good to come of the mission
“l am saturated with the firm belief
that great good will come from this
mission,” he said, emphatically. “Del
egates to the peace conference have
indicated that there exists in them the
same spirit that reproaches this
wasteful war and the terrible and
unnecessary killing that I have
“There is a sentiment behind the
project, but there is also indication
that the powers want the thing
stopped, so that they may go on with
the work of construction. That is the
desire of the masses, excepting those
that are turning out guns, battleships
and other useless and costly imple
ments,
To Keep Peace Thought Alive.
“Little harm can come of this ven
ture, and great good may result, It
will keep alive the thought that peace
is possible
“I know little of the plans of the
peace conference, but I do know that
an effort an be made for an honor

and for that reason I have stood be

He knew that orders had been is

‘Cyclone’ Davis Gives
Congress Fresh Jar
Texas Statesman Puts Nickname in
Hcouse Directory—Second Case
on Record.
R .
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—When Rep
resentative William H. Murray, of Ok
lahoma, bracketed ‘‘Alfalfa Bill" after
his name in the Congressional Directory
a few vears ago, there was much erit
icism by members who are sticklers for
dignified”speech and conduct in the
House.
They predicted that it would be a
long time before any new member would
have the temerity to embalm his nick
name in the Congressional Directory.
These prophets were mistaken.
When the new directory appears in a
few days it will enroll as a member of
the House Represen‘ltlve J. H. Davis,
of Texas, who Is known as ‘“‘Cyclone’”
Davis in his State and who wants to be
known by that designation in Washing
ton. “Cyclone” Davis will appear in
parenthesis after the name of the new
member from Texas.
Mr. Davis is a striking looking man.
He stands more than 6 feet in his boots
and he is the possessor of a beard that
grows longer, wilder and more luxuriant
than any set of whiskers seen in Con
gress in many years.

New Concern Forming in Atlanta
to Market Staple From
This Point.
LIVERPOOL MAGNATE IN PLAN
Firm Said To Be Controlled by
A. 1. Buston Asks Court
for Charter.
Atlanta as a cotton center was
given a big boost yesterday through
the filing in the Superior Court of an
application for a charter for “The Liv
ingston Cotton (‘ompany"—-caplta!-
ized at $50,000, with the right to in
crease to s2oo,ooo—with A. J. Buston,
of Liverpool, regarded as one of the
greatest and wealthiest cotton mer
chants in the world, as one of the
chief stockholders.
The formation of the new cotton
company represents a reorganization
of J. K. Livingston & Co., of Atlanta,
¢n a broader scale of finance and
business. The other incorporators in
the new concern are J. K. Livingston,
of Savannah, and J. R. Ellis, manager
of J. K. Livingston & Co. in Atlanta.
Through th's reorganization, Atlan
ta will become a greater concentration
point for cotton. Mr. Buston, who
also is interested in J. K. Livingston
j& Co., was in Atlanta some time ago
and became favorably impressed with
Atlanta as a point of concentration
from which to supply the markets of
the world. Cotton that heretofore has{
been sent to Liverpool by Mr. Buston
and kept in his great warehouses
there in the future will be stored in
Atlanta warehouses until it is ship
yed to foreign markets,
It was pointed out that At}nma has
the advantage over Liverpool, for the
reason that this city furnishes an
opening into the markets of all the
’uurm. while cotton stored in Liver
pool finds but one market
| It was understood that t g
! ston company would utiliz ew
Candler warehouse and other local
warehouses
The new corporation will take over
the business of J. K. Livingston &
Co. and begin its enlarged business
Just as soon as its charter is granted,
which will be within the next 30 days

Playwright Says Every Human Soul Has Right
To Be Well Born or Not at All.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Action taken
by Commissioner of Licenses Bell to
prevent a performance of the ma
ternity problem play, “The Unborn,”
at the Princess Theater, was de
feated by an injunction obtained from
Supreme Court Justice Platzek, re
turnable before Supreme Court Jus
tice Whittaker. The play went on.
The order to stop the play was is
sued by George Bell, Commissioner of
Licenses, on complaint of Mgr. La
velle, rector of St. Patrick’'s Cathe
dral. In a letter to the commissioner,
Mgr. Lavelle said:
“His excellency, Cardinal Farley,
has heard of this play and Is anx
lous that everything possible be done
to prevent its public presentation.”
In the audience was Dr. Harry J.
Haiselden, the Chicago physician
whose part in the Baby Bollinger
case attracted wide attention.
At the end of the second act of “The
Unborn” Dr. Halselden addressed the
200 persons in the audience in warm
champlonship of his action and re

By MARY K. MAULE.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4 —"Every hu
man soul has a right to be born
clean and pure, or not to be born
at all.”
This is the message of Beulah
Poynter, playwright. Her new drama,
“The Unborn,"” was produced recently,
The story is of a young girl who
falls In love with a man and is mars
ried to him. She has been warned
by her mother that her father had
been an eplleptic. Her mother had
been a drink vietim. Passionately in
love and beloved in turn she could
not refuse herself the happiness of
marriage. She resolved never to have
a child.
But she faces motherhood. In her
agony and remorse she tries to avoid
bringing the child inte the world,
but fails. The boy becomes an epi
leptic. All his infancy and youth she
guards him. In his twenty-first year
his malady becomes pronounced,
Play Written Out of Pity.
He is engaged to be married to the
niece of his mother's former flance,
The play ends with the boy shooting
his aweetheart and himself. The long.
suffering mother loses her reason.

that it was deeply impressive, and
he sald the points It discussed were

“Let us not be hysterical,” said he,
“about this matter of taking the lives
of the unfit. Physicians and clergy

“The present tendency indicates
that we are becoming a nation of

agalnst any first-class nation in a war.
Dons anybody suppose that Germany
could stand againet the United na

had permitted herself to become a

As to Baby Bollinger, Dr. Halselden
sald that he would stake his life on

in their opinions by religious and
