SHINGTON, Feb, 15—The lines
- of attack and defense of the league
"of nations constitution, read to the
. plenary session of the peace confer
. ence by President Wilson, were tak
t-"rt:rm ih the Sanate today. ‘
) liminary skirmishing was ex

of opinion ls not exppcted bo-‘
fore' the constitution draft is acted
wpon by the peace conference. |
~ Benators expect that many amend
fments to the proposed constitution
will be offered, especially by the mp-‘
resentatives of the smaller powers,
. Thege amendments, they he“ovod.‘
would be rejected for the most part,
and the constitution approved by the
corference practically as it was fe
- ported.
y Principal Objections.
The principal objections in the
Senate to the covenant as it was
drafted are:
- 1. That it does not make clear
what agency is to control the naval
and military forces that may be call
¢d upon to enforce the judgments of
the league,
2. That it leaves to the judgment
of an outside agency how great shall
be the reduction, in the armaments
of the several members of the league,
These will he the two maln points
nron which the atiack of opponents
_of the League of Nations idea in the
Senate will center. There are many
minor objections and at the same
time many of the general ideas con
: :&d in the constitution are com
even by those most bitterly
ler to any departure from the
ol of "no ontanillna alllances.*

' The most frequent eriticism, heard
among opponents of the ldea today,
was that the plan was “unconstitu

Husband Claims Alimony

Matt Hyden, an vmsloyee of the
Suw‘-r company, Saturday was before
udge Pendleton in Superior Court for
the second time on a contempt charge
growing out of his alleged Lnlurn- to
comply with a previous court order
to pay allmony to Mrs, Rosa Hyden.
Hyden escaped jail on the first trial
hsv making an limmediate payment ow
$36, as commanded by the court. After
hearing the evidence Saturday In the
second trial, Judge Pendleton reserved
his decision until next Saturday, to per
mit an investigation of statementse by
Hyden that he had malled money or
ders to his wife which, she declared,
she had not received. Hyden now Is

sum of s£ss, it was stated, Attorney
John H. Faniel appeared to prosecute
the case for Mrs. Hvden,
G. F. Kelly, of Lawrenceville, repre
sentative of Gwinnett County in the
State Legislature, has announced his in
tention of introducing a measure in the
next session to place charitable insti
tutions under a llcense system, and pro
vide for quarterly Investigations into
their operations.
Urder Mr. Kelly's purposed bill, all
institutions supported by charity will
be compelled to register with the Secre
tary of State, who will issue licenses for
their operation and certificates of regis
tration must be in the hands of every
person operating such an institution.
Before officials of any such institution
would be allowed to solicit alms, they
would be compelled to make l\ranr pre
sentations to the Sm‘n-lm'{ of State,
who will issue a fiu-rmit for the collection
of charitable donations. Sheriffs of
each county would be charged with the
duty of making investigations.
Mr. Kelly, in Atlanta, Friday, declared
that some measure containing the pro
visions he outlined should be offered to
prevent cruelty and irregularities as
disclosed at the Undenominational
Home in Marietta.
That the conditions at the institution
under probe were not uncovered long
before was due to lack of vigilance in
the application of the Veazy act, which
regulates all eleemosynary institutions,
sald Mr, Kelly. His presentments to the
Legislature, he said, will be an amend
ment to that act.

lying in the various slips. After burn
!lm: neariy an hour, during which the
| fertilizer section was reduced to
|:,n~'ht:s, spectators belleved the situa
| tior was under control.
| About this time flames appeared In
!thc,- cotton section of the Seaboard
| wharves and before they couid be ex
[tmwulshml had gained rapid headway.
- Whether these occurred from sparks
‘{rum the fertilizer plant or from the
| Ascensun de Larrinaga, a British
Elramp steamer which was removed
from one of the Seaboard slips with
fire in her after crow’s nest, which
caught from the fertilizer plant, is
‘uncertain. Some spectators say the
flames leaped the wharf on which are
located the railroad offices to the
cotton pier, and others say the cotton
shed was ignited from the burning
crow’s nest,
‘ Spread to Lumber Pier,
~ After gaining headway on the cot
ton pier, the flames soon spread to
the lumber pier, whereon was several
million of feet of lumber awaiting
ships. From the lumber pier tocy
swept onto the naval stores pler and
reached several thousands of barrels
of rosin and spirits of turpentine,
~ On account of the loss of records,
railroad officials were unable to enum
erate accurately the losses of freight
on the wharves, They say the cotton
- wharf had about 16,000 bales of cot
ton, both sea island and upland. Cot
ton losses alone are estimated at be
tween $750,000 and $1,000,000. Na
f\'al stores included nearly 3,000 bar
irels of spirits of turpentine and of
rosin, divided anout evenly. Included
In the freighi loss were about 50,000
bags of sugar, which were consigned
to the French French Government.
| Besides these commodities there were
;tTolusands of tons of fertilizer mate
‘rial. |
| Three Ships in Peril,
~ Three valuable cargo ships were
Imperiled with the flames and had
to be removed, under emergency or
~ders, into the stream and floated down
the channel. Two of these were Brit
| ish tramp steamers, the Ascensun de
Larrinaga and the Kelvenbrae. The
other was a schooner.
\ Early in the conflagration the flames
reached 16,000 tons of high-grade ni
trate of soda, which were stored in
‘ the fertilizer plant where the fire
originated. For a quarter of an hour
)the city resounded with the explo
sions of this material. Firemen and
}the fireboats quickly abandoned the
fight to seek safety from its erup
" tions. ‘
Besides the losses of the fertilizer
plant and the three Seaboard Air Line
plers, a large quantity of railroad
equipment, about 30 freight cars, was
burned.
Every tug owner in the port volun
teered for service in fighting the
flames. Lady stenographers in the
Seaboard offices volunteered to save
the records and furniture of the office
and moved the stuff to safety.
The Seaboard wharves were re
garded among the finest on the South
Atlantic coast and represented an as-]
'set of approximately $5,000,000 to the|
company. They were the chief
wharves of the entire system, which
has valuable water terminals in Nor
folk, Charleston, Brunswick, Jackson
ville and Tam Pa.
| Port Will Lose Shipping.
Port and rallroad authorities esti
mate the terminal fire yesterday after
noon will cost Savannah many millions
of dollars’ worth of shlpplnf_ as the
8. A. L. wharves were the largest in
'the city. Other terminals already are
filled to overflowing with freight con
signed, both domestic and foreign.
‘ Railroad authorities estimate there
are 5,000 carloads of freight in port now
} awaiting disposition,
. _After being removed from the 8. A. L.
slip the fire in her crow's nest, caught
from the fertilizer plant, fire was dis
covered in cotton in the hold of the
Ascensun de I'Arrinaga, British tramp
steamer. She was berthed in the Cm-‘
tral of Georgia wharves at the time and
on account of the menace to hundreds
of thousands of bales of cotton stored
there was compelled to move to the
A. C. L. plers, where city nremenl;mmp- |
ed water into her hold all night, Fifteen
bales of cotton burned and more was
damaged by water. Lloyds’ agents are
making a survey today.

AMERICUS, Feb.| 15.—L. G. Council,

has small hope this can be accomplished

cusing the situation Friday, Mr. Council
said one man who now has 500 bales of
his 1918 crop unsold, had declared his in
tention to plant “even the fence corners,”
this year,
‘lt costs Southern farmers at least 30
cents a pound to hgn'omu:e the cotton they
now own,” said r. Council, ‘and cotton
would be selling for a great deal more
than it is today. if the Government would
get out of the way and let the world
have the Bouthern staple. The countries
that won out in the great war do not
want other ('t:‘untries to buy our cotton,
for that woul mean competition in the
world market, and that is what they are
trying to head off."
Mr. Counctl further deciared that South

that certain interests may grasp the com
