MANY SECRET WAR PACTS BARED BY PFACE BRFAK
Mandamus Will Demand Council
Appropriate SIO,OOO a Year
' '
Provided by Legislature.
Along with other troubles more or
less acute, incident to the failure of |
the bond election, is the prospect otl
mandamus proceedings against the
city of Atlanta to compel it to build
a suitable structure for housing the
historic Cyclorama at Grant Park, now
in a shabby frame building exposed to
perils from fires. ‘
The State Legislature of four years
@go revised the Atlanta charter, re-l
quiring Council to appropriate 81(),000!
@ year until SIOO,OOO had been set
aside for the erection of a proper
building to shelter and display the
historic painting that is of inesti
*mable value to Atlantans of this and
coming generations. . None of this
money has been set aside, it is
charged.
The huge cycloramic painting of the
battlie of Atlanta cost originally
about SIOO,OOO, and was first exhibited
in Atlanta by Paul Atkinson in a
sort of gallery on Edgewood avenue,
between Courtland street and Pied
mont avenue. Financial difficulties
arose and Mr. Atkinson sold the pic
ture at public action, G. V. Gress
purchasing it for $38,000. Mr. Gress,
one of Atlanta’s mest philanthropic
citizens, presented the Cyclorama to
the city in 1891,
The defeat of the bonds has
aroused a large number of people
who treasure the grand old painting
and earnestly desire to see it pre-
N‘T"ed.—m&b.-\‘g,\‘loMtion by the
city of the legislative mandate as a.
basis, they are planning to institute
legal proceedings to force the ecity to
put up the moneéy needed to house the
painting properly.

Thirty-five States Join Hands in
Fight Against Increase in Phone
and Telegraph Tolls.
(By International News Service.)
CHICAGO, April 26.—Judge Landis,
in the Federal Court here today, dis
solved the' injunction granted Post
master General Burleson two weeks
ago restraining the Attorney General
of Illinois from interfering with the
operation of the new telegraph rates
Isoheduled. which became effective
April 1. The court then granted the
State an injunction which restrains
the Postmaster General from putting
the new rates into effect.
’ The ruling reverses the whole tele
graph rate ‘tontroversy in Illinois. The
police powers of the State were up
held by Judge Landis on the ground
that when Congress took over the
telegraph lines it did so puvrely as a
war measure and that it specifically
stated that the Government would not
[interfere with the State’'s rights in
the matter of rates.
I Plan Concerted Fight, |
| Thirty-five States, through their
public utilities commissions, are p!an‘T
ning a concerted fight to challenge
\\he right of the Federal Government
to fix telephone and telegraph rates
’und intrastate railroad rates, it be
ivume known here today. Represen
tatives of eleven States are in ses
’sion here to\lay plans for the fight. }
The States represented at the meet-‘
ing are Oklahoma, Missouri, Vermont,
Indiana, lowa, Georgia, lilinois, Ne-‘
braska, Minnesota, Kansas and Ala
bama. Most of those in attendance
are attorneys, who will aid in the
preparation of briefs to be presented
to the United States Supreme Court
on May 6, when three important test
suits will be heard. (

Rate Increase
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, April 26.—That he|
had a legal right to increase intra~l
state telephone rates under the reso
lution of Congress, giving him con-}
trol of the nation’s wire communica
tion, was the contention given by
Postmaster General Burleson today in
a brief filed by him in the Supreme
Court of t.ar United States. The brief
asks that the case of the Kansag pub- |
lic service commission, questioning
his right to increase telephone rates
|
in that State, be dismissed. |
1
The commission also filed a request
with the court that argument on its
case be heard May 5, the date fixed
for argument on the Massachusetts
and North and South Dakota tele
phone cases, which are expected to
develop a final test of the Postmaster
(General's authority. \

That khaki-clad soldiers, as dear
as they are, have not supplanted
gray-uniformed heroes in the hearts
of Atlantans was very evident Satur
day afternoor when the thin line of
Confederate veterans marched proud
ly but with & Ilimp and a halt ‘)ex‘e

their former comrades now.
Atlantans love the Confederate vet«

about the wonderful warfare they
waged against insuperable odds. At
lantans also know of the desperate
fight they waged to save this city
from destruction and to keep Sher
man’s hordes from marching along
the vetx streets they were parading.
It required a very little stretch of the
imagination to change the uniforms
in line and clothe the brisk-stepping
heroes of the Argonne and Chateau
Thierry in the gray of the old men
they were escorting, and then At
lantans could really see the men who
fought for their beloved Southland.
Because America has never produced
a braver or higher type of soldiery
than those Confederates were in
their youth.
Old ?unrd Present,
Of course the center of interest in
the parade was the marching line of
Confederate veterans, accompanied
by a number of vehicles containing
those who have advanced beyvond
their marching days. Then thera was

Among the units in line were
wounded soldiers from Fort McPher

Camp Gordon, camouflaged trucks in
charge of members of the motor
transport corps from Camp Jesup,
and cadet military battalions from
Georgla Military, Academy and the
Atlanta high schools. Thus there
were in line young men from every
section of the country, perhaps many

PARIS, April 26.—The Fiume prob
lem still was hanging fire when the
big three—President Wilson, PI'IWQ
Lloyd George and Premier w,
ceau—met today to continue discus
sions of matters to be included in the
treaty that will be presenetd to ti »
Germans at Versailles next week.
Practically every detail of the
treaty is now complete, but it has
not yet been deflnitely declded b
what day the terms will be placed
before the Germans. This 11 de~
pend to some extent upon elop
ments in the Italian situation during
the next 72 hours, B
The American, British and ch
delegations are watching closely for
the next move that Italy makes.
Rome advices show that the deep
est feeling prevails throughout Italy,
but it can not be determined yet how
far the demonstrations will influence
official action. It is realized that the
Itallans are extremely temperamental
and that he “blowing off of st .
may be followed by counsels ich
will lead to a compromise satisfac«
tory to both sides.
Italy Needs Economic Relief.
At the same time it is pointdd out
that Italy is dependent upon the Als
lles, and chiefly the United States,
for economic relief. ”-fi
In any. event the three p G
America, Great Britain and”
are| lined up side by side and ° i

ble over the treaty or take advans

caused by the withdrawal 0(‘,
Italian delegates. 5t
The greatest obstacle to equitable
understandings has been the crop h;
out of secret agreements and pk
made during the course of the
Later developments have made it im
possible to stand by the terms of
some of these treaties, ¥
(The most notable case of a “se
cret treaty” was the pact of London,
entered into hetween Great Britain,
France and Italy. Italy is b L

terms, Another secret paet in d
making economic and terrh
claims based upon that agreement.)
Chinese Trouble Seen, R
It i« now reported that there wn ';ifi
an agreement between Japan 1
Great Britain concerning China. e
detalls are avallable, but it bids flz‘
to interfere with the settlement H
the Shantung Peninsula dispute. v
Whether this reported agreement
will effectually prevent the United *
States from enforcing its indo b
of the Chinese claims and thus ‘
venting Japah from getting terri P
on the Shantung Peninsula can not °
be foreseen, Wi
No member of the American dels
gation would make anyl: edictions
in that direction today. However, it
is admitted that secret treaties coms
tinue to be the greatest menace tos
ward the carrying out of Pre "o
Wilson's fourteen principles, which
the Amerfoans insist shall be the &
foundation and backbone of the p e
terms. R
