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 city departments by only
$145 000, after $205,000 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 inl
the sheet 51'.500 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 pre !
ceedings, they would take no action
untii the issue was deciaed. A]dinel
Chambers, attorney for the Park
Poard, intimated to the committee !
'dat a compromise might be eft’ected!
should the committee appropriate the
fund for this year, and expressed the
belicf that should it fail te do so, it
would be in a more precarious posi
tion if the Supreme Courc should
hand "down a decision late in this
year.
Refuse Appropriation. i
The committee refused to make the
appropriation, and Mr. Chambers
then asked that they take a stand,
either for or against the matter. He |
asked ihat they either make the ap- |
propricion or refuse to do so, He was'
requesied to put this question before
Council, who makes all appropria
tions. i
The largest increase in the city's’
vevenue was $87,300 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, Comptrqller B. Graham
Wist reported. Q\
Yiher increased revenue items were
Dray and hack lcenses, $2,000; gen- |
era' city 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. i
All these sums made up a total un- !
‘articipated when the January budget |
was compiled by the finance commit
tee e
Ihe decrease in appropriatiofs for |
the entire city depirtments 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
~ 1t $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 Jentzeng appeared before |
the committee $3,000 was restored for !
z}he purchase of ten mules, $2,814.20 |
or a new truck and $2,500 to place |
a new roof on the crematory. The|
city garage was given $9,490 increased
funds on which to operate when it
was shown that they have already |
uzed more than half of the January |
appropriations. ‘

various departments over the entire
appropriations for last year: Con
tagions, $2,447; prisons, $4,640, and
schools, $41,000.
Under this appropriation the schools
will be short less than half a month’s
salary fund, as the total is estimated
at $70,000 per month under the sal
ary schedule adopted by the Board of
Education. If it is possible to raise
$30,000. now from any source for the
department, it will not be necessary
for) the schools to close down during
the fall on account of insufficient
funds. 2

Georgia has been given 205 auto
mobile trucks valued at approximate
ly $700,000, ag her initial allotment
of road building machinery and ac
cessories, which will be turned over
to the States free by the Government.
Notice to that effect was received
Monday morning by Judge T. E. Pat
terson, chairman of the State High
way Commission, from the director of
the office of public roads, which is
supervising the distribution of mil
lions of dollars’ worth of machinery
and materials for highway construc
tion.
The War Department turned over
to the United States Agricultural De
partment all the machinery, imple
ments and material that had been col
lected and manufactured for war pur
poses, and which are of no use to the
Government now,
Application for Georgia's share was
put in about a month ago through

Some scattered contributions (
rezched Chairman Edwin F. Johnson
Sunday and Monday, but they did not
aggregate enough to make any large
difference in the figuires reported at
the meeting Saturday night. \
The campaign, not in Atlanta alone
but all over the United States, is
dragging, and the time has been,of
ficially extended to Thursday night.
The need in Atlanta is for addition
al workers, to help the little band of
“faithrul who have turned in subscrip
tions every day, giving all the time
they can spare to the work,
It is plain that Atlanta is willing to
give to the Salvation Army, but al
-most everybody is waiting to be asked
in person. The canvassers find it easy
'to obtain subscriptions, but there have
i not been enough canvassers, Hundreds
of business men have not been asked
to contribute.
Chairman Johnson Monday urged
al; men who would work for a day to
communicate with him and obtain as
signments. He also urges all persons
who desire to contribute to mail him
their subscriptions or telephone his
office, Ivy 7063.
The executive committee will not
stcp work until the full sum is

WASHINGTON, May 26.—N0 Ger
man shipping now in possession of the
Urited States is to be relinquished.
Following reports that a large por
tion of the vessels taken over by and

go to Great Britain and other coun

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 partiullyj
destroyed. ‘
There are fourteen active volcanoes
in an area 25 by 35 miles in this
immediate vicinity. They have de
stroyved 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 Kkilled.
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
and extinct volcanoes in its mountain
chains. The best known volcanoes on
the island are Tengger and Galun
gung.. 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,
1140‘8].
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, enveloping
towns 150 to 250 miles distant, Killing
about 200 persons and destroying the
sugar crop of the entire western end
of the island.

Courthouse, and sign the dotted
line, and swear that equal suffrage
gives a thrill that's really fine.
The airplane has attractions (it
must be great to fly), but every
husky birdman must be prepared
to die; for wings curl up and
wither, and engines spout with
flame, and then there's one less
pilot in the luring, daring game.
Miss Sterling
First Nine
By JOE WILLIAMS.
COUNTRY CLUB COURSE, MEM
PHIS, TENN., May 26.—Play in the
qualifying round of the eighth annual
Woman's Southern Golf Champion
ship Tourney was started this morn
ing with 64 entries.
The course was soggy and slow and
an annoying drizzle set in as the first
players started out, dark, menacing
clouds presaging continued bad
weather,
Miss Alexa Stirling, of Atlanta, na
tional title holder, was paired with
Mrs. Dave Gaut in the qualifying
round. Mrs. Gaut is a Memphis star
and is conceded to be this city’s chief
reliance in the event. She was low
medalist in the 1918 Woman's West
ern, with 92,
Miss Stirling repeatedly outdrove
her opponent during the Ou{wal‘d
journey and finished the first " nine
holes in front, in spite of predictions
that the local star would take the
medalist honors away from the dis
tinguished visitor.
Mrs. (eorge Harrington was an
other Atlanta expert on the entry
list. She was late in being paired,
owing to a new arrangement in effect
which permits the women to select
their own partners on the first day of
play.
A representative field lls entered
and includes champions of Louisiana,
Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi,
Georgia and Kentucky.
Miss Stirling is an odds on favorite
and is expected to win without any
great effort. She gave the Memphis
golf enthusiasts a shock Sunday when
she completely outplayed two of the
low handicap male members of the
local club in a mixed foursome, out
driving both her partners and the
male member of the opposition by 10
to 20 yards from every tee.
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
assoeciation trophy event, and the final
1€ will have a chance to play for the
consolation.

Big Four Discusses
}Austrlan Reparation
i By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N, S.
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, 1.. P. Locheur and Dr. Keynes
sat in with the big four.
Arrangements for the presentation
of the Austrian treaty are expected
tc 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 tho reparation demanded.
However, despite its complexity, the
Austrian situation is not cauwsing any
serious worry.
The Austrian envoys at St. Germain
understand that everything possibie
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
so: Asia Minor to make an independ
ent investigation.
" The concession made by the big
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
the lines of the original Amgrican
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
rights.
That the concession was a material
one was recognized by Count von
Brockdorff-Rantzau, head of the Teu.
tonic delegation, and others.
President Wilson wil dedver @
speech on Memorial Day (Friday),
when he is expecetd to make sharp
er.ticism of the Socialists for thelr
propaganda nere. It was said to be
the Socialists who started the rumor
of wholesale resignations from the
American peace delegation because
of dissatisfaction over the treaty
terms. =
Armed Resistance Not
Possible, Say German
BY ALFRED G. ANDERSEN,
Staff Corerspondent of the 1. N. 8.
BERLIN, May 25 (via London, May
26).—“Armed resistance to the Allies
over the peace terms would be a
senseless 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 Defonse, and known as the
“gtrong 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?” L
Murder to Resist.
“Germany has no army in the
field,” continued the minister. *“We
have only a police force, having al
