Finance Committee Again Refuses
to Include $17,500 for Hous
ing Cyclorama at Park.
Confronted with the task of reduc
ing the January apportionments to
the various eity departments by only
$145,000, after $206,000 in unexpected
revenue had been found, the finance
committee of City Council adjourned
at 1 o’clock Monda yto have lunch at
the Grady Hospital as the guests of
Superintendent Steve R. Johnston
An afternoon session was called to
meet at 3 o’clock, when it was ex
pected that the June finance sheet
would be adopted and ready for sub
mission to Council at its next meet
ing.
The committee refused to place in
the sheet $17,600 as this year's appro
priation for the construction of a fire
proof building to house the cyclorama
at Grant Park. Several members of
the committee took the stand that the
Park Board having started court prc
ceedings, they would take no action
until the issue was decided. Aldine
Chambers, attorney for the Park
Board, intimated to the committee
that a compromise might be effected
should the committee appropriate the
fund for this year, and expressed the
belief that should it fail j’o do so, it
would be in a more precdrious posi
tion if the Supreme Court should
hand down a decision late in this
year.
. Refuse Appropriation.
The committee refused to make the
appropriation, and Mr. Chambers
then asked that they take a stand,
either for or against the maiter. He
asked that they either make the ap
propriaion or refuse to do xo. He was
requested to put this question betore
Council, who makes all appropria
tions.
The largest increase in the city’s
revenue was- $87,500 from the general
tax, $30,000 from the increased street
tax from $1 to $3, while SIB,OOO in
creased gross receipts tax from the
Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany and the Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph Company is already in
the tresaury, Comptroller B. Graham
West reported.
Other inereased revenue items were
Dray and hack llcenses, $2,000; gen
eral ®ity licenses, $5,000; insurance
returns, $5,000; Recorder's Court, $15,-
000; Battle Hill Sanitarium fees,
$1,000; water receipts, $5,000; Mar
shal’s fees, $1,000; interest from Lib
erty bonds, $6,175, and miscellaneous
receipts, $22,500.
All these sums made up a total un
anticipated when the January budget
was compiled by the finance commit
tee.
Th decrease in appropriations for
the entire city departments under the
new sheet are much smaller than was
expected after the sheet was worked
over in May. Notably among these is
the sanitary department, which was
cut $45,000 in May, but under the new
sheet will only lose $16,000. The cut
in+this department when first submit
ted was $21,500, but after Sanitary
Chief John Jentzen appeared before
the committee $3,000 was restored for
the purchase of ten mules, $2,814.20
for a new truck and $2,500 to place
a new roof on the crematory. The
citi* garage was given §9,490 increased
funds on which to operate when it
was shown that they have already
used more than half of the January |
appropriations. ; 1

y . Under this appropriation the schools

at $70,000 per month under the sal

The first of Atlanta’s newly enfranchised women voters to become qualified for voting in the
city white primaries. First at the window was Mrs. Amelia R. Woodall, followed by Mrs. Fran
ces Smith Whiteside, Mrs. George K. Horne, Mrs. W. 1. Baker, Mrs. Beatrice Eaglin and Mrs
Benjamin F. Bolton, shown here in order named.
An appropriation of $5,000 for spe
cial traffic policemen to stop speeding
in Atlanta was passed unanimousiy
by the‘finance committee of Council
Monday morning when the committee
met to make up the June finance
sheet.
The motion was introduced by Al
derman John S. McClelland, and while
there was some discussion, when sub
mitted to a vote, it was passed unan
imously.
Under Alderman McClelland’s res
olution, the present police forece will
not be depleted. Special officers will
be hired to police the boulecards and
principal streets of the city where so
many speeders abound. He stated
that he felt no doubt that should the
Recorder impose adequate fines the
amount appropriated will be back in
the city treasury within one weelk.
Detective Chief Lamar Poole, who
was present, stated that the fines im
posed now aré approximately SI,OOO
per day, and should a special force
for this purpose be put on, the city
treasury will greatly benefit until
reckless drivers have the lesson well
brought home to them,

Seventeen Other Towns Are Par
tially Destroyed, Says Report
Received in London.
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, May 26 —Fifteen thou
sand persons were killed and twenty
villages were completely wiped out
by an eruption of the volcano Kloct,
on the Island of Java, in the Dutch
East Indies, said a Central News dis
patch from Amsterdam today. Sev
enteen other villages were partially
destroyed.
There are fourteen active volcanoes
in an area 26 by 35 miles in this
immediate vicinity. They have de
stroyed hundreds of thousands of
lives. In 1686 the Ringghit, one of
the loftiest of the group, blew off
most of its peak and in a series of
internal explosions that followed more
than 10,000 persons were killed.
The Island of Java, with a popula
tion of about 30,000,000, has frequent
ly been visited by disastrous erup
tions, there being numerous active
ta.m‘l extinet voleanoes in its mountain
'»-tns. The best known volcanoes on
the island are Tengger and Galun
gungs In Galungung’'s eruption in
1822 many thousands lost their lives.
There are about 65,000 Europeans on’
the island. The casualties from this
latest disaster probably were largely
among the natives inhabiting moun
tain villages.
The London reports indicate that
this latest disaster may rival the
ones caused by the eruption of Minot
Pelee, which destroyed St. Pierre,
Martinique, with a death list of 30,-
000, May 8, 1902, and the volcanic
earthquake which virtually wiped
Messina off the may December 28,
1908. ;
Kloct is one of the smaller volca
noes in the western end of the Island
of Java. In May, 1901, it broke into
eruption after a period of inactivity
lasting several years, enveloplng;
towns 150 to 2560 miles distant, killing
about 200 persons and destroying the
sugar crop of the entire western end
of ‘the island. ‘
Three Men Are Killed |
When Engine Blows Up
(By International News Service.) |
CANTON, OHIO, May 26.—Three
men were Killed near East Palestine
tcday when the engine of a freight
train, sdietracked to allow a,troop
train to pass bearing soldiers
to Chicago, blew up with a terrific
explosion. The men killed were the
engineer, fireman and <onductor of
the freight train. |
The explosion awakened soldiers in
the troop train, but none was injured.
The tracks were so badly torn up,
however, that the troop train was de- |
layed two hours. |

WASHINGTON, May 26.—N0 Ger

MEMPHIS, TENN, May 26—
(Cloudy skies greeted the fair partici
pants in the eighth annual women’s
Southern golf championship tourna
ment, which got under way this
morning at 9 o'clock at the Memphis
Country Club, when the qualifying
round was played. About 100 golfers
from all over Dixie are here to par
ticipate, among them being Miss
Alexa Stirling, of Atlanta, national
champion. Miss Stirling is the fa-|
vorite, and her past great perform
ances on the links, coupled with the
fact that she is playing the finest golr‘
of her brilliant career, make her the
choice over all other participants to
win the championship.
However, there is plenty of chance
that Miss Stirling will find an abun
dance of opposition before she has
again copped the crown, for Memphis
boasts of several high-class women
golfers, all of whom will be in the
thickest of the fight in an effort to
dethrone the fair young Atlantan.
The best 32 scores today will quali
fy for championship play, while the
next 16 will play for the president’s
cup. The third 16 will play in the
association trophy event, and the final
1¢ will have a chance to play for the
consolation.
Miss Alexa Stirling, the champion,
was out on the links of the Country
Club Saturday and Sunday, taking a
95 on Saturday and a 90 Sunday, but
she was familiarizing herself with
the course, and today she expects to
go out and play the same high-class
golf that made her national cham
pion.
The qualifying round, which started
this morning, found Miss Stirling
paired with Mrs. Dave Gaut, one of
the Country Club’s leading golfers.
This should prove a hard-fought
meteh, for Mrs. Gaut is at present on
her game strong, and Miss Stir
ling is certain to have to extend her

Big Four Discusses
Austrian Reparation
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N, 8.
PARIS, May 26,—With representa
tives of Roumania, Poland and
Czecho-Slovakia and Jugo-Slavia
| present, the big four today discussed
at length the reparation clause to be
inserted in the Austrian treaty.
General J. C. Smuts, Andre Tar
dieu, L. P. Locheur and Dr. Keynes
sat in with the big four.
Arrangements for the presentation
of the Austrian treaty are expected
to be completed by Wednesday.
The greatest question is whether
the Austrian population of the states
created from former Austrian terri
tory shall make good a proportionate
share of the reparation demanded.
However, despite its complexity, the
Austrian situation is not causing any
serious worry.
The Austrian envoys at St. Germain
understand that everything possible
is being arranged for their benefit,
and they will undoubtedly accept the
terms, but under protest,
The problem of Asia Minor has now
resolved itself into a question of
agreement between the British and
French. .
An American commission is leaving

[four regarding the Saar basin will be
of benefit to Germany, but it was
pointed out today by American ex
perts that it would not be proper to
interpret the concession as a pro
(German one. The actual facts are
that the modification was made along
’thw lines of the original American
viewpoint which provided that the
question of redemption should be de
cided by ‘the economic experts and
the league of nations. If Germany
becomes a member of the league of
nations within five years, she would
be in a position to argue her own

Armed Resistance Not
Possible, Say German
BY ALFRED G. ANDERSEN,
Staff Corerspondent of the I. N. 8.
BERLIN, May 25 (via London, May
26).—“Armed resistance to the Allies
over the peace terms would be a
senseleds sacrifice of human life.
Some foolhardy Germans may doubt
less take up arms, but the Govern
ment will not support them.”
This declaration was made to me
today by Gustave Noske, Minister of
Public Defense, and known as the
“strong man of the German cabinet.”
Herr Noske's statement was made
in reply to my question:
“Could Germany resist in a mili
tary way if the peace negotiations
should fail?”
Murder to Resist.
“Germany has no army in the
field,” continued the minister. “We
have only a police force, having al
