By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of the 1. N. S.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Follow
ing a lengthy eonference at the White
House last night between President
Wilson and leading Democratic lead
ers, it was learned today that the so
called ‘“reconstruction” program of
the Republicans will meet with stern
opposition,
The chief executive is understood
to have informed the conferees that
until the peace treaties are actually
completed any change in methods
might prove disastrous. As a result
it is expected an effort will be made
,to continue the war trade board and
agencies of that character as at pres
ient and that there will be no recon
| struction committee named to recom
| mend legislation changing existing
| methods,
The President will outline his rea
sons for such action in his annual
message to Congress which will be
i delivered at the opening of the short
session the first week in December.
At that time, on the eve of his
| departure for Europe, he will make
! plain the reasons that are compelling
i him to make the trip abroad and in
| cidentally he is expected to answer
| the criticism in his action in going.
i The belief was growing here today
. that the time consumed hy the chief
| executive abroad will be much great
‘er than had been anticipated when he
llet it be known that he was going
Administration officials, however, in
sisted again today that It will be in
no way necessary for him to delegate
any of his power to Vice President
Marshall. The arrangements that
are being made to keep the President
in complete touch with all that is
transpiring within the United States
all of the time he is away from
Washington are of the most elabo
rate character. The naval wireless
station will be in constant touch. In
addition a single eable line is to be
held entirely for executive business
There will be little need for the
President to Be in Washington during|
January or February, officials said. |
The short session of Congress will
be devoted entirely to the (‘ompletlon!
of the revenue bill and completion of
the regular revenue measures. |
There will be no opportunity for|
any radieal legislation. Consequently,|
it was pointed out, the President w-ry'
easi'y can remain in France as long
as it is necessary to complete the'
largest planks of the peace treaty and
then can delegate his powers to
gsomeone to remain behind to carry on
the work from the point where he lef!l
off. Then he can get back here in
time to handle the work passed on tol
him by Congress. |
It ia expected that a regular courier
gvstem will be maintained between |
Washington and France. What will!
practically amount to a ‘“foreign
White House" will be established !
wherever the Chief Executive is mmr-!
tered, and messengers will make (he]

Valor of His Boy
‘Over There' Brings
Happiness to Vet
Out at the Old Soldiers’ Home
there is a Confederate veteran who
saw the Stars and Bars lowered
over the last battlefield of the Civil
War, and bowed his head with
them. Along in the twilight of his
days, Andrew J. Hugzhes looks up
again and the blaze of victory is on
his face, and its fire is in his blood.
Mr. Hughes has a som, Private
Lewis C. Hugles, of the Rainbow
Division, which sailed for France
with General Pershing and got into
the game when the going was
rough. With Company A, Twenty
sixth Infantry, Private Hughes
fought through the dark period
which saw the Allied forces ham
mered slowly backward, and the
turning point when the Americans
cut in—and the crest of the final
great offensive that rolled back the
Hun to his finish.
It was in that tremendous en
gagement that Private Hughes was
wounded, in the right arm. It put
him out of business for the rest of
the war—but he had seen victory
on the wing.
And out at the Seldiers’ Home an
“Old Confed.” Private Hughes’ fa
ther, is waiting for his boy to come
back with his glory. Back in '65,
with General Joseph E. Johnston's
Western Army—the last of the
Confederate forces to surrender—
Andrew Hughes laid down his arms
and he thought that evervthing was
over. But now, in the dceds of his
son, the “Old Confed” has his palrt
in_the greatest victory the %;TSL.
ever knew, and once more, afi'c? et
ter than ever before, he can hear
the bunting crackle and the eagle
scream.

Express Rate Increase
Ordered by McAdoo
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Increases
in express rates in the territory north
of the Ohio and Potomac- Rivers and
east of the Mississippi River, ranging
from 16 to 17 cents per 100 pounds,
and inc.eases in the rates throughout
“the rest of the United States, ranging
from 10 to 12 cents per 100 pounds,
were ordered today by Railways Di
rector McAdoo.
The increased express rates were
fnaugurated in order to raise an ad
ditional revenue of $24,000,000, half
of which will go to railroad revenue
and half to express revenue. This
amount of additional revenue is made
necessary by the increase in wages,
aggregating $10,000,000, granted to
express company employees on July 1
last. This increase in wages entirely
exhausted the additional revenue de
rived from a 10-cent increase in ex
press rates authorized by Director
McAdoo on July 15, it was stated.
The increase granted today was au
thorized by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, after officials of the
commission had closely studied the
urgent recommendations of Director
McAdoo. When Mr, MecAdoo an
nounced Government control of the
express companies, he said he would
seek an increase In rates,
Officials of the railway administra
tion today said that they expected a
transfer of an enormous amount of
traffic from the express companies as
the result of the increased rates. That
was explained that the traffic, lost by
the express companies will undoubt
edly go to the motor truck and freight
service. A relief from an extremely
congested codition of the express ByS
tems is also expected to follow the
increase,
It was pointed out by officials that
the low express rates in many sec
tions of the country had induced peo
ple to overload the systems with thelr
shipments.

Issued daily and sntered as seeond-class matter at
the postofice at Atianta under act of March 3, 1879,
In Unique Ra,icicg on
Dawson County Still
According to W. Paul Carpenter,
Assistant United States District At
torney, J. A. (“Russ”) Hubbard, one
of the best known men of Dawson
County, and founder of Hubbards
ville, who was arrested several
weeks ago, charged with abetting
the sale of blockade whisky, will
be placed on trial before the end of
the present term of court.
Hubbard is a merchant and farm
er and is reputed to be very
wealthy. He was arrested following
a raid in which the revenue officers
under D. J. Gantt, revenue agent
for Atlanta, captured three Atlanta
men, Jim Thompson, Mangum Wil
son and E. J. McGill, the latter a
san of Detective McGill, of the At
lanta force.
The raid was one of the most pic
turesque ever staged In Dawson
County, famed as a rich hunting
ground for the revenue men. A
half dozen officers from Atlanta
stopped at Hubbard's store on the
afternoon of the raid long enough
to leave a false clew as to where
they intended to spend the night.
They then returned to the store and,
crawling beneath ({t, listened for
several hours to Hubbard dickering
with moonshine customers, they say.
From the conversation, the offi
cers say, they learned the location
of the still to be visited, and pre
pared an ambush. The three Atlan
ta men, a seven-passenger automo
bile and about 60 gallons of block
ade whisky were taken in the trap.
Following his arrest, Thompson
made an affidavit baring the whole
operation, All the men are under
indictment by the Federal Grand
Jury.
