[HAW CAUGHT: TRIES SUICIDE
Arkwright and Jackson Clash Over Bond Issue
WAR BETTER THAN PEACE NOW,
~ LLOYD-GEORGE SAYS
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, Jan. 11.—In a ringing
speech at Guild Hall this afternoon
Promier Lloyd-George declared that
war is better than peace “at the price
of Prussian domination.”
This, declared the Premier, was
made plain in the Allies’ note to Ger
many and still clearer in the En
tentes’ answer to President Wilson.
The German proposal last month
was not a genuine peace offer, the
Premier declared.
“The Germans did not offer terms,”
sald the Premier. “They offered a
trap balted with- falr words This
might have tempted us once, but now
the British lilon has his eyes open.”
The Premier reiterated his former
declaration that Prussian militarism
shall not dominate Europe. That is
one of the big aims of the allled
powers, he sald,
Mr. Lloyd-George sald that the
Kaiser is telling his people that Eng
land rejected his peace offer.
“But,” he cried, “that is only to
drug those whom he can not dra
goon.”
The Premlier's speech was recelved
with rounds of cheers.
It was delivered at the “war loan”
mass meeting to arouse public inter
est in the new British war loan.
The meeting was called to
arouse national Interest in the
new war loan, the terma of which
will be made public tomorrow. A call
was made for universal subscriptions
and every Briton was asked to give
what he could in order that the war
might be presecuted more vigorously
than ever
Inspiring spesaches were made, and
the speakers made it plain that Eng
land will need all the money she can
raise
Among those who took part in the
meeting were Premier Lloyd-George,
A. Bonar Law, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and Mr. Asquith, the for
mer Premler,
The amount of the loan s unlim-.
ited and the Government hopes to
make the subscription list the biggest
in the history of the world,

Uist of Allies’ Repl
To Wilson Is Told b
Manchester Guardia,
(By International News Service.) .
LONDON, Jan. 11.—The Manchester Guardian today states,
regarding the Allies’ reply to President Wilson :
Restitution, reparation and securities are demanded, and
the note gives some indications of the aims of the Allies in
redrawing the map of Europe. The principle governing this
must be the question of nationalities.
Certain formulas are mentioned.
Belgium must regain her independence and be indemni
fied for her losses.
The boundaries of France must be redrawn in a spirit
of restitution.
Italy must be redeemed for her provinces and the bound
aries of the Balkans must be redrawn in conformity with
nationality and history.
Russia must have access to a warm sea.
Great Britain is not mentioned, nor is the question of
the colonies.
The reply also deals with America’s proposals for a
league to enforce peace, which it approves in principle, but
questions how such a league can be brought about.

ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1917.
Head of Street Car System De
clares Committee Is Trying to
Embarrass Company.
An effort by a citizens’ committes
to block the $742,000 bond issue pro
posed by the Georgia Railway and
Power Company and the Georgia
Rallway and RBlectric Company re
llulted In a clash between Preston
Arkwright, president of the power
company, and Marion Jackson, repre
senting the committde, when the peti.
tion came up for a hearing before the
Georgia Rallroad Commission Thurs
day.
- The committee also asked that an
‘audit of the affairs of both companies
'be ordered.
. Sweeping charges were made by
‘Mr. Arkwright against the motives of
'the committee. He declared it was
‘merely an attempt to harass a'nd em
;barrass the company for the purpose
of gaining the points contended by the
strikers. Mr. Jackson resented the
assertion with the statement that the
committee was merely seeking to pro
tect the interests of the publie.
The clash came when Mr. Jackson
moved for a postponement on the
ground that Thomas B. Felder, coun
sel for the committee, was absent
from the city. Mr. Arkwright strenu
ously opposed a continuation. The
commission conferred on the motion
after both sides had entered into a
‘llenmhy argument on the petition, in
volving the question of rates, rervice,
Imunk‘nml ownership and dividends
' Why Felder Is Absent.
| Chairman C. Murphy Candler asked
‘when Mr. Felder wouid return. Mr.
Jackson replied, “Tuesday week.”
- Mr. Arkwright arose:
‘ “Why has Mr. Felder gone to Wash-
Ington?" hd asked, directing his re-
Imarku to Mr. Jackson.
I “To appear before a congressional
committee,” replied Mr. Jackson.
I “What for? asked Mr. Arkwright,
. “In the interest of prohibition leg
| islation.”
| “Prohibition in the District of Co
lumbia?”
' “No; prohidbition in the United
States,” replled Mr. Jackson, warmly.
I The commission allowed a contin
qu\ca until next Tuesday, and put
'Mr. Jackson on notice that the appli
cation surely would be heard at that
Ume, as there were other important
matiers 10 be taken up by the com
mission immediately afterward which
would occupy several days
The motion for a postponement was
made when the petition of the Geor
gla Rallway and Power Kompany to
issue $420,000 of scrip was taken up,
The bond Issue petitions never were
reached.
Seak to Embarrass.
During the argument Mr. Arkwn:ml
Asserted that the purpose of the peti.
tion was apparent. If the nnm"ll!“n;
can force a delay until after January
15, the date when the stockholders
are sxpecting the deferred dlflvtun:h,l
it would Inconvenlence and embarrass ;
the company. They would gain just
as much by doing that as by having
the petition for the fssue denled, he
anserted
The petition represented by Jackson
was for a denial of the application |
of the power and lght companies
and asking for the appointment of

Candler Tells Committee Money
'
Can’'t Be Saved on Pencils
and Stamps,
I ‘When the Council Finance Commit
tee Thursday had struggled another
morning in its efforts to maka the
city budget balance and had come to
& stone wall of a deficit of $125,000, a
motion was passed to Invite Mayor
Candler to come before the body and
offer such suggestions on the situa
‘ufln a 8 he might choose,
Mayor Candler came, and the fiist
of his advice was taat the commlittee
must make the city's expenses bal
ance with the year's income, without
anticlpating any income of future
years.
“There’'s no use fooling around try
ing to save money on pencils and sta
tionery,” he said. “You must hit the
expense side of the finance sheet
where it will mount up to thousands
“You are under no obligation to
provide new school buildings, swim
ming pools and the like if the people
don’t give you the money to deg it
with."
Revives Water Rate Raise.
Councilman J. R, Nutting, immedi
ately preceding Mayor Candler, had
revived the proposition to raise water
rates,
The city tax assessors, earller in the
morning, had been before the com
mittee, and, in response to questions,
said that approximately 50 per cent
of the parents of pupils in the public
schools paid no taxes,
Alderman Nutting referred to this
and urged the raising of water rates
In a way that would affect everybody.
Mayor Candler, referring to the SUg
gestion, said that the Water Commis
sion was unwilling to increase rutes
a penny
“l want to make myself clear right
now as being opposed to denying the
public schools to the poor. That's
what the free schools are for,” he
said.
“Certain things like this we must
provide. Other things, maybe in the
school department, can be dispensed
with. These are the things vou must
look to. Perhaps some d¢ partments
can do on less employees than it has,
Anyway, the code requires that our
expenses must balance with our in
come, and that {s your duty here”
No Improvement Likely,
Somae improvements have been
writien into the sheot. They all prob
ably will be eliminated, Pay rolls in
some departments undoubtedly will
be cut further. The logic of the sit
uation is that If the people want im
provements they will have to consent
to pay the city more Income,
