Junkers Still Plotting, Clemenceau Says
AILIES TO SEIZE EX-KAISER
A material increase in the city’s tax
rate to meet the shortage of next year's
funds resulting from the abnormal ex
penditures of the present year, was fore
cast by Alderman Harvey Hatcher,
chairman of the finance committee of
Council, and Councilman Walter Dillon
during the debate on the proposed salary
increases in different city departments
at Monday afternoon’s meeting of Coun
cil,
In one of the busiest sessions of the
present administration, Council voted its
approval of the telephone merger pro
viding for the absorptian of the Atlanta
Telephone Company by the Bell sys
tem; passed up untii a later meeting the
question of abolishing the City Marshal's
office, and added nearly SIOO,OOO to the
¢ity's yearly payroli through salary in
creases.
The increases are effective only in the
fire and police departments, all other re
quests for more salary being referred
to next year's Council. After defeating
amendments and substitute motions all
designed to reduce the amount of in
crease, Council finally adopted an ordi
nance by Alderman John S. McClelland
providing for a general irz:rqase of $lO
a month in Yhe pay of uniformed patrol
men and firemen, and of $5 a month
for detective sergeants in the police de
partment, and assistant chiefs and me
chanicians in the fire department,
Phone Merger Aprroved.
The approval of the telephone merger
was given by Council only, and it must
be approved by the aldermanic board
at its meeting next Thursday and then
by the Postmaster General and the Rail
road Commission before it can become
operative. However, it is not believed
there will be any hitch in the proceed
ings. The Bell Company already has
signified its willingness to meet all the
conditions imposed by the city, and it is
understood that the Railroad Commis
sion approves of merging the two com
panies
Action on the ordinance by Alderman
Jonas H. Ewing, to abolish th eoffice of
City Marshal, was deferred until a later
meeting automatically, with a motion by
the Alderman to place the ordinance on
its second reading before its final pas
sage, failed of a majority vote as is re
quired, the vote being fifteen for and
thirteen against further action. This
means that the office will be included in
the pallot at the general electon Wed
nesday, and a new incumbent elected to
succeed City Marshal James M. Fuller,
who died recently while serving his
eighth year in the office. There are five
candidates in the race, and all have in
structed the city clerk to put their names
on the ticket as the result of Council's
failure to declare the office abolished.
The tenure of office of the successful
candidate is likely to be exceedingly
short, in a 8 much as James l. Mayson,
in his ruling that the successor to Mr,
Fuller would have to be elected Wed
nesday, pointed out that Council could
abolish the office after the election of a
new incumbent as easily as before, and
a bare majopity glready exists in favor
of abolishing it,
Ewing Drops Bomb.
A mild sensation was created by Al
derman Ewing toward the close of the
session when he introduced an ordi
nance declaring the office of the city
urchasing agent to be illegal because it
fiud been provided for in an ordinance
voted nn‘!&d passed by General Coun
cil instead of by a separate vote of the
two divigions. The city code provides
that all legislation ,ooking towards the
expenditure of city funds must be pass
ed by the councilmen and aldermen vot.
ing separately. This provision has ham
pered Alderman Ewing in obtaining pas
sage of his ordinance to abolish the of
fiece of city marshal, the city attorney
having ruled that the ordinan;c adopt
ed recently to abolish the office was
void because both branches of Council
voted on it jointly.

Soldier and Wife
Of Italian ‘Bunkie’ ‘
Try to Flee U. 8.
AUGUSTA, Dec. 3.—Her warm
Ttaiian heart afire with love, Mrs. ‘
Angelicia Vito has not only got
herself into serious trouble with
the Federal authorities, but also |
has caused Frank E. Hulock, a
Camp Hancock soldier, to stand in |
the shadow of the _ peniientiary.
The woman is now in jail here and
will have a hearing before United
States Commisioner Skinner this
morning on a charge of persuad
ing a soldier to desert the colors.
Hulock is confined at Camp Han
cock on a charge of desertion.
It appears from the accusation
+filed that Mrs. Vito is the wife of
Roceco Delvito, also a soldier at
Camp Hancock, and came here
from her home in Brooklyn to see
her husband a few weeks ago. She
soon became infatuated with her
husband’s “bunkie,”” young Hu
lock, who is a handsome youth,
and they often met clandestinely
in Augusta, it is alleged.
Last week Mrs. Vito persuadel
the young soldier to fly with her
to Mexico, and they had reached
Del Ric, Texas, on their way, when
apprehended and brought back
here, Qflvmg in Augusta Sunday
night a late hour.
It is said that one of the pretty
Italian woman's arguments to per
suade Hulock to elope with her was
to threaten suicide in case he re
fused, gnd t% evidence her serious
Intentions in that respect, she even
bought it is alleged, a small vial
of carbolic acid.
The couple are presumed to have
left here ten days ago, shortly after
which time the husband put the

Slaying Boy Gives Bond
Judge Ben Hill, in the eriminal divi

the negro indicted Friday by the Ful
ton Grand Jury on a cahrge of murder
as a result of the slaying a saw weeks
ago of Abe Kingloff, 4, in front of the
little fellow’s home in Moore street.
This bond was allowed after a hearing
on an application by Attorney Tillou
Von Nunes, counsel for the negro.
The little Kingloff boy was shot and
killed during a pistol duel between two
negroes. He was said to have run out
into the street directly in the line of
shots. Both negroes escaped at the
time. A negro who dled a few days ago
in Grady Hospital of a mysterious pistol
wound was belleved to have been one of
the two men. Rice was said to have
been the other.

Attacks on Wilson Stir Senate
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Forget
ting all other tasks before/it, the
Senate centered its attention today on
two resolutions connected with Pres
ident Wilson's trip abroad.
- The first, the Cummins resolution,
would send a select Senate commit
tee to Paris to watch the peace con
iference and report on it to the Sen
ate.
The second, the Sherman resolu
tion, would declare the presidency
vacant and call upon the Vice Presi
dent to assume the office of the Chief
Executive for the remainder of Pres
ident Wilson’s term.
It was believed today that neither
of these resolutions would pass the
Senate, but both will prove vehicles
of debate that will allow Senators to
give expression to many sentiments
they have entertained, but not dis
‘cussvd, during the war period.
| Much Debate Likely.
~ Vice President Marshall refused to
jrovognize Senator Sherman when he
sought to introduce his resolution
yesterday. The resolution will be put
in today and will be sent off with a
'speech by the Illinois Senator. Sen
ator Knox is expected to seize the
opportunity to deliver a speech on the
responsibility of the Senate for
treaties entered into by the Govern
ment, which he has had in prepara
tion ever since the last session ad-
Journed.
The insistence of Democratic Sen
ators om adjournment immediately
after President Wilson read his mes
sage yesterday has given Republi
cans time to think over the Presi
dent’s statements, with the result
that some who were expected to speak
vesterday will not enter into the de
bate, Others wno wish to air parti
san views have come to the conclu
sion that not all the speech-making
should be done in one day. Today's
debate, therefore, will be only a
starter.
The Cummins resolution is before
the Senate foreign relations commit
tee today. Senator Hitchcock, chair
man of the committee, has promised
Senator Cummins that the committee
will make some kind of a report on
it, probably Wednesday.
Action Is Uncertain.
It is predicted that the foreign re
lations committee will simply put the
resolutions up to the Senate, report
ing on it neither favorably nor un
favorably., Senator Cummins said to
day he had not canvassed the com
mittee and was not prepared to pre
diet what the committee would do
“l believe, however, that you will
find a majority of the Senate for this
proposal,” he added. "“Some Senators
hold it would be undignified for a
Senate committee in Paris to wait at
the kitchen door of the peace com
missioners to find out what had oe¢-
curred at the conference, I:{owever,‘
I belleve 1 can convince thém that
there is nothing undignified about the
proceedings 1 propose, |
“It goes without saying that I con
ferred with many Republican IP:ld(‘l‘s‘
before I prepared my resolution. l‘
know that practically all prominent
Republicans are for it, and that a|
good many Democratic leaders will
favor it."
Administration leaders in the Sen
ate, who have not caught the fever
of rebellion that is in evidence in
some Democratic quarters at the
Capitol, are a little concerned over the
Cummins resolution, They believe it
will be voted down on its merits, but
at the game time they will go out and
work actively against it
Pittman's Amendment,
The amendment proposed by Sen
ator Pittman that the committee be
one of 96 members—the entire Senate
~18 not expected to receive serious
congideration, Senator Pittman will
urge it, however, in the hope of de
feating the whole proposition by mak
ing it appear ridiculous in the eyes
of the country.
The Sherman resolution Is drawn in
such form that it is evident its au
thor never expected it to receivt se
rious consideration by the Senate

Difference of Opinion
As to Ex-Kaiser’s Fate
By HENRY G. WALES,
Staff Correspondent of the |I. N. S.
PARIS, Dec. 3.—~Diplomatic circles
do not believe the Allies intend to
make a martyr of the ex-Kaiser, al
though extremists and international
lswyers are sending numerous arti
cles te the press supporting the de
mand for the extradition for trial and
execution of the one-time war lord.
“If the Allles undertook to punish
all of the malefactors it would mean
wholesale execution, probably a
eouple of thousand,” said ome high
ofMicial, “Besides the Kaiser there is
the ex-Crown Prince and cruel com
manding officers of prison camps, air
ralders and submarines, as well as
town mayors, regponsible for the de
portations and atrocities in Belgium
and northern France.
“Remember how the world shud
dered when the British executed Mad
Mullah's chieftains and a louder cry
would be ralsed if the guilty Huns
were shot, owing to their great
numbers, If the German penple are
really undergoing a change of heart,
they will deal with the Kaiser them
selves better than we could without
martyvring him., Holland will rid her
self of her visitor at the proper time.”
Belief was expressed that the ex-
Kalser may return to Germany vol
untarily-or otherwise-—when the
German people will have an oppor
