INCENDIARY FIRES DOUBLED IN STATE Report Of State Fire Inspector Shows Big Increase In Georgia During The Past Vear NUMBER GF MEN ARRESTED Six Convicted Of Arson And Now In Penitentiary And Twenty-Five More To Da Tried Atlanta. State Fire Inspector W. R. Joyner, in his annual report to the insurance department, submitted, shows that, there has, during the year just ended, been almost twice as many incendi¬ ary fires in Georgia as during the pre¬ vious year. He says: “As stale fire inspector, I have, during the year 1915, made 101 investigations of suspicious tires as against 60 during 1914. 1 have had a number of persons arrested, charging them with arson, Six have been convicted on that charge and are now serving time in the penitenti¬ ary, and twenty-five other true bills have been returned by grand juries over the state, and are now in the hands of proper officials for trials in the near future. Most of the accused parties are out under bond, but sever¬ al are in jail.” Fulton Whiskey For May $21,600 During the month of May, the first month o4- strict prohibition in Atlanta, less than 8,000 packages of liquor were reported-to the office of the Ful¬ ton county ordinary as having been shipped^ into- the county from outside of the- state. "• ' The average cost 6f a quart of whis¬ key beifig $1.35, a total of about $21 600 was seftt out of the state to distill¬ ers elsewhere for those approximate 8,000 packages, assuming that each package contained the legal limit of two quarts; and should this importa¬ tion continue- J itr the same ratio throughout the twelve months, a total of approximately $259,200 would be sent out- Of Fulton county for liquor during the year. Victor Innes Found Guilty Victor InneS'was found guilty in an hour' and sentened to seven years in the penitentiary. His wife broke into tears; and the voice of the prisoner was husky with emotion as he rose to his feet and begged the leniency of the court. Seven years is the maxi- nVum sentence for larceny after trust, oh which the man was convicted in the Nelms case. He announced that whatever else he might have to say additional to his remarks to the court would he reserved for the appeal to the court of appeals. Mrs. Innes will probably not be ar¬ raigned until the fall of this year. Unable to obtain bond, she will re¬ main in jail until the hour of trial, it is reported. She is in a weakened condition in an advneed stage of tu¬ berculosis. Judge Russell Retires Judge Richard B. Russell, chief judge of the Georgia court of appeals, retired from the bench, June 5, in ac¬ cordance with the terms of his res¬ ignation submitted to and accepted by Governor Harris several months ago. brilliant term This closes a long and for Judge Russell upon the appellate bench. Something in the nature of an expression of his appreciation of his services to the state was his appoint¬ ment by Governor Harris as a trus¬ tee of the Georgia Normal and Indus¬ trial college at Milledgeville, and this appointment was particularly apropos in view of the fact that Judge Russell was the author and introducer of the first hill ever introduced in the Geor¬ gia legislature looking to the estab¬ lishment of school for girls similar to the Normal at Miledgeville. Judge Russell introduced this hill in the house in 1887 and, although the bill failed of passage at that time, it con¬ templated the establishment of just such a school ’as thh normal. “Peach” County Proposed The coming session of the legisla¬ ture will have a new county question to settle this year. This proposed county does not seek, in. its name, to honor any favorite son or historic event in Georgia, but some¬ thing which has spread the favorable fame of the state further, perhaps, than any other thing the state has produced, namely, the Georgia peach. It is proposed that this county, if created, shall be called “Peach coun- ty.” this county The plan is to carve from the territory of Houston and Ma- con counties, which are in the heart of the peach belt. The proposed coun¬ ty seat is Fort Valley, in Houston county, and the line in Macon county is proposed to run about two miles smith of Marshaliville, including Mar- gballville in the territory of the new county THE ECHO, STATENVILLE, GEORGIA. THOUSANDS THRONG GATE CITY TO SEE SHRINE PARADE Hosts Of Members Of Temples In Many Cities Arrive For Elab¬ orate Ceremonial Atlanta— For the second time in the brief space of two years Atlanta was host¬ ess to several thousand nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and, acting with a knowledge gained by previous expe¬ rience, she met her guests at the gates of the city with the glad hand and smile of welcome, and said: “The city is yours, do as you like,” and verily they proceeded to do so. The morning hours were taken up by the arrival of the various caravans, their reception and conducting the pilgrims to their tents within the city, so they could unloose their sandals, shake out the sands of the desert, spread their prayer rugs and thank Allah they had arrived safely in the oasis Of Atlanta.. The parade, which formed in the manner indicated in previous exposi¬ tions of this outpouring of Shrinedom, moved, as all other parades dor—about half an hour late. But that only served to make it the more interesing when it did come, and it served to carry out the wishes of Illustrious Potentate Walter Pharaoh Andrews as an event (o bring the Shriners of the south¬ eastern states closer together and cre¬ ating a closer bond of union and fel¬ lowship among them. Conspicuous figures in the parade were Illustrious Potentate Andrews of Yaarab Temple, and Past Potentate John A. llynds, with the guest of hon¬ or, W. Freeland Kendrick, illustrious potentate of Lulu temple, Philadel¬ phia, and high priest and prophet of the Imperial council; behind them rode in automobiles the party of no¬ bles who journeyed from Philadelphia to asisst, Yaarab in this great cere¬ monial. Georgian To File Claims Since the announcement that the house committee on claims, in the na¬ tional congress, has voted to allow the claim of John H. Christy, elected as a member of congress at that time, under section 2, and never allowed to take his seat, there is no .further ques¬ tion about six other claims for the same reason will be filed with con¬ gress. One of these will be the heirs of the late Philip Cook, father of the present secretary of state, who was elected at the same time from the Second district. As is recited in the commissions is¬ sued to the Georgia members of con¬ gress at that time, under section 2 of article 1 of the Constitution of the United States, an election was held on November 15, 1865, to select a member from each of the seven Geor¬ gia districts, to serve for two years from the third of the preceding March. Several of the congressmen-eleet had previously been officers in the Confederate army and at least two of them bore the rank of general. When they went to Washington to take their seats they were confronted with the fact that congress had not removed disabilities of former officers in the Confederate army, and they were re¬ fused admission to congress, and were allowed no pay. Now, under the : con¬ clusion reached in the case of Chris¬ tie, a year’s pay and milege and ex¬ penses is to be allowed, and further claims will be filed on the same ba- sis. Alabama Troops Want To Come in A Mexican border situation has de¬ veloped in Georgia. Formal request has been made on the adjutant gen¬ eral of Georgia by the adjutant gen- eral of Alabama for permission under which armed troops of Alabama may cross the Georgia border and enter the city of Columbus. General Nash referred the request to Governor Har¬ ris for directions. The petition as it is put up to the Georgia military and executive de¬ partments is that the state of Alabama desires entry of its troops into Geor¬ gia for purchasing supplies Jackson Delegates Seated Sixteen prospective votes for Jus¬ tice Charles E. Hughes in the Repub¬ lican convention in Chicago went by the board when the national commit¬ tee voted to seat the Henry S. Jack- son delegation of Georgia. The ac¬ tion was taken after a lively contest, which lasted more than six hours, and at which it was necessary to de¬ termine the personnel of the Georgia state committee. Urges Protection Of Capitol The report of State Fire Marshal W. R. Joyner of his investigation of fire conditions at the state capital building, following recent fires in the building, which has been in the hands of Gov. Nat E. Harris for several weeks, will be forwarded by the gov¬ ernor to the coming sessions of the general assembly with recommenda¬ tions which he has not yet formu¬ lated. The report states that conditions in the basement were such that if a fire there gained headway the entire build¬ ing would be liable to be destroye'' The (M® KlTCflm ATTRACTIVE EGG DISHES. No man is useless while he has a friend. What an absurd thing it is to pass over all the valuable parts of a man, and fix our attention on his Infirmities. —Addison. Eggs are reasonable in price and this is the time to enjoy many of the dishes which are prohi¬ bitive many months of the year. 1 Escalloped Eggs.—Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter and when bub¬ bling hot add two table¬ II spoonfuls of dour; add a cupful and a half of milk, and cook slowly until thick. Butter a baking dish and place in the bottom a layer of buttered crumbs, over these lay three thinly sliced eggs; cover with half of a fourth of a cupful of chopped olives and repeat with crumbs and three more eggs, olives and then the white sauce. Cover with buttered crumbs. Salt and pepper should be used to season the white sauce and a cupful and a half of crumbs will be needed. Bake until nicely browned. Jam Omelet. —Beat the yolks of five eggs until light and lemon colored; add a tablespoonful of powdered su¬ gar, and three tablespoonfuls of milk mixed with a teaspoonful of corn¬ starch. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites of eggs and cook in a buttered frying pan until set, then spread with jam and fold; serve as a dessert. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and garnish with jam. Coffee Custard.—Scald two cupfuls of milk with two tablespoonfuls of ground coffee; strain after it is well steeped, add three beaten eggs, a fourth of a cupful of sugar, a pinch Of salt. Strain into cups and set in hot water to bake until firm. Flavor with a few drops of vanilla or cbffee extract. Lacto.—Beat two eggs, add two cup¬ fuls of sugar and four and a half -cup¬ fuls of sour milk, a half cupful each of any desired fruit (such as cherry, grape, strawberry, raspberry) and lemon juice. Mix in the order given and freeze as iee cream. This is one of the most refreshing and wholesome of frozen dishes. Buttermilk is often used in place of sour milk, making a richer ice than with plain milk. Chopped hard cooked eggs added to a white sauce and served on buttered toast makes a most satisfying dish for luncheon or supper. fireless cookstove. The original cooker, the hay box, was most useful for all cooking, by H steam, or hot water, as the heat was supplied by a large body of water or liquid in which the mm food was placed, and brought to the boiling ^ point, the hay acting as insulation to keep the heat from dissipating. As there are many foods that can¬ not be properly cooked in water, the modern caloric cookstove was invent¬ ed, so that now baking and roasting may be done as well as stewing and boiling. The metal compartments with the steatites or stones for heat¬ ing hold the heat for the desired baking or roasting. The following dishes may be pre¬ pared and cooked in the flreless cook¬ er. You may go to town and do your shopping, make a call or spend the af¬ ternoon with a friend, or go to church on Sunday and your meal will go right on cooking as well as if you were there. Irish Stew. —Take a pound and a half of mutton, cut in small pieces, brown two onions, sliced, in two ta¬ blespoonfuls of butter. Add the meat, one carrot, eight small potatoes, one stalk of celery, pepper and salt to taste. Add boiling water to cover. Put into the cooker with one hot ra¬ diator; cook four hours. Beef a la Mode.— Take five pounds from the uhder portion of the round, the toughest part; wipe and trim off all rough edges. Put Into an earthen dish and pour over it a spiced vinegar, using pepper, cloves, allspice, three teaspoonfuls of salt, one cupful of vinegar, one chopped onion and a half a teaspoonful of mustard; the same amount of the other spices. Let the meat stand overnight or all day, turn¬ ing it occasionally to season evenly. Then drain, wipe and lard It with ten or 12 strips of salt pork. Remove it to a kettle and brown it in hot fat in which two onions and a half a car¬ rot have been fried. Add enough boil¬ ing water to cover, put in a bag of herbs, place In the cooker with one radiator and cook six hours. Serve with a thickened gravy and potato balls and small onions.
