United States Ambassador Thomp son Is openly charged with endeavoring to shield Hunt, but he denies any con nection with the case and says the charges against him are absurd.

BANK CLEArThGSSHO W SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE The bank clearings for the week Just ended show a substantial Increase over the clearings for the corresponding week last year. This week the clearings were $5, 279,993.63. The corresponding week last year the clearings were $4,488,569.32, The Increase of this week is $831,424.31 Between Saturday of this week and the corresponding day of lost year a substantial increase In favor of the former is shown. The increase in clearings Is $101,597.68. The clearings for last week estab lished a record for Atlanta. They were $6,043,591.16. ‘Thirty per cent of my clerical force has resigned within the* past year,” •aid Postmaster Blodgett to a repre sentative- of The Georgian Saturday morning. “What four or five years ago was considered ample compensation for services to the government is now not sufficient to hold the men I employ. This is because of the great, unprece dented prosperity which is evident everywhere In the country. “On account of this prosperity, the salaries in the commercial walks of life have steadily* grown higher, until now they top, by a considerable mar gin, the pay of the government for positions in the postoffice departments. Salaries Going Up. “Not only this, but on account of this great prosperity, a dollar has not the value it used to have. There is more money now, and, consequently, the units have smaller value.' The cost of everything has gone up; of fuel, provisions, clothing and labor. A man who could live comfortably ob a salary of $1,000 annually five years ago would Arid considerable trouble living as well on $1,500 now. “While the salaries in the business world have been going up, with the in creasing prosperity, those of the post- office department have remained prac tically the same. My men are sever ing their connection with the postoffice all the time, because they are offered better pay In other walks. “As a result, I And I am -running a regular training school here at the postoffice.” The interview with Atlanta's post master was brought on by his being shown a dispatch to The Georgian to the effect that First Assistant Post master General Hitchcock would pre sent to congress a recommendation for a general increase of salaries for post- office clerks throughout the United States. The Increase asked for by Mr. Hitch cock will affect 75 per cent of the clerks Jn the grade below $900, about 50 per cent of the clerks receiving $900 and $1,000, nbout 40 per cent of those receiving from $1,000 to $1,200, and about 30 per cent of those receiving over $1,200. Want Big Increase. An appropriation of $25,700,000 will be asked for the clerks" of the first ahd second class postoffices. This will be an Increase of $2,300,000 over the current year. The postoffice depart ment is also considering ways and means for the payment o{ a higher compensation to letter carriers. “Of course this will affect the At lanta poslofflce. clerks," st&tejl Post master Blodgett. ■ • V "The department realizes the fact that the increase in salaries .by the government has not kept pace with the increase in the commercial walks of life. The department also .realizes that If any men In the service should receive higher compensations they are the clerks. "Thero are the most overworked and underpaid men in the service of the government, I verily believe. Where men In most every other department of the government service start In at salaries of $800 1 and $900, the clerks begin with a salary of $600. “Where the law says the mall car riers shall not bo worked more than eight hours a day, there is no limit to the amount of work nor the number of hours in a work-day for tl^e clerk.

If they have any grievances or are forced to suffer any hardships, the people know it, and the sympathy of all is crystal lized for them. “If they are underpaid or overwork ed, public sympathy, more or less, forces a change. The postal clerks, on the other hand, are not seen at work. They labor In confinement, and their Ills are known only to themselves and their confreres. They don't even get sympathy."

FATHER AND MOTHER BOTH ASK DAMAGES OLDKNOW IS CLEARED AFTER INVESTIGATION Evidence Against Him Fails to Be Ver ified. Captain Z. B. Moon called fit the office of The Georgian Saturday and. In defense his statement before-the committee, reiterated hla testimony re garding Madison Bell's alleged state ment to him. "Bell positively told me that he had paid Oldknow $100 for hla vote to elect Jett,” said Captain Moon. "I could not have misunderstood him. Madison Bell Is, and has been, one of my best friends, and I didn't want to get him In trouble. But these are the facts." After a searching Investigation, the special committee which has been In vestigating the rumors of corruption In the general council, especially on the part of Councilman W. L. Oldknow, Friday afternoon rendered a decision completely exonerating Mr. Oldknow and other members of the council. During the examination of the sixty- seven witnesses no evidence whatever was brought out which would reflect upon the official act of any council man. The committee which did the probing, with the assistance of City Attorney Mayson. was composed of Al derman Harwell, chairman; Alderman 81ms and Counclimen Glass, Martin and Patterson. The counsel for Mr. Oldknow, T. M. Rucker and Reuben Arnold, waived all legal rights, excluding rumors, and the committee went after all testimony which could throw any light whatever on the darker side of municipal poli tics. The Investigation was free from any tendency to "white-wash," but save for unfounded—or at least unsubstan Bated—rumors, the city attorney was unable to unearth any sign of Improper conduct. No Importance was attached by those who heard the testimony to the conflict In testimony offered by former Police Captain Z. B. Moon and Attorney Mad. Ison Bell. Captain Moon’a Statement. Captain Moon swore that Mr. Bell had told him on the night of July 4 that he (Bell) had given Mr. Oldknow $100 to vote for Ewell Jett for the po lice captaincy to succeed Moon, who had been discharged after an Investiga tion. Captain Moon said that possi bly Special Officer J. W. White had overheard tho conversation. Mr. Bell swore that what Captain Moon had Just testified to'was “abso lutely false;'' that he had never told Captain Moon such a thing; and that he had done nothing more for Captain Jett than to use his Influence with the committee and pollce'commlsslon to get him elected. I Bell said he did have a vague remembrance of having spoken to Cap tain Moon at the time of bribery ru mors which he hod heard, but that he had placed no credence In' them, and had absolute faith In Mr. Oldknow's Integrity. Captain Moon reaffirmed his version of the Interview, but Mr. White confirmed 'Mr. Bell's statement, and their statement waa believed by the members of tho committee. GRAND JURY MUST BE WITNESSES EOI DEFENSE IN SUIT The machinery of Justice has a nail In the cogs. The twenty-odd lawyers retained, to defend the negroes alleged to have been implicated In the killing of Coun ty Policeman Jim Heard In Browns ville on the night of, September 24, met Saturday morning and decided to resort to tho unusual procedure of summoning every' member of the grand Jury and every one of the state's wit nesses as witnesses for the' defendants. They furthermore practically agreed to try separately {he forty-odd alleged participants who have been arrested. This will result In stringing the cases out over several weeks. The reason for tho summoning of the grand Jurors and the state's witnesses, It Is said. Is that one of the grounds of defense will be that none of the wit nesses before the grand Jury' Were sworn. The limit of tho life of 'the present grand Jury Is Tuesday, oil which day It will be very busy attend ing to presentments having to do with the condition of tho Jail and other county property.
