TWO TUGS WITH
PONTOONS ARE
ENROUTE HERE
Engineer Torras Advises That
Big Dredge Will Leave Char=
leston On Tuesday
BE NO DELAY IN STARTING
ST. SIMON HIGHWAY WORK
Local Engineer Says Bruns
wickians Will Be Employed
And Those Desiring Places
Should List Their Names Now
Engineer F J. Torras of the St.
Simon Highway Commission, yes¬
terday morning had telephone com¬
munication with officials of the At¬
lantic, Gulf and Pacific Dredging
company at Charleston, S. C., and
was informed -that two tugs had left
the South Carolina port for Bruns¬
wick having in tow pontoons to be
used here and that two large tugs
would leave on Tuesday morning
towing the mamouuth dredge which is
is to do the major work in this great
engineering feat.
It is likely that the dredge, al¬
though leaving three of four days af¬
ter the tug towing pontoons, will
reach here before the big craft does
as towing pontoons is not as easy as
that of a craft of any character and
the rate of speed will be anything
but fast.
With the dredge, Engineer Torras
said, it. was at first determined to
come here by the outside route, but
the fact that marine insurance rates
amounted to such a large figure it
wis concluded to come by the inland
waterway route and while this might
consume many hours more, it means
a big' saving to the dredging com¬
pany.
A fact that will be received with
gratification is that all the help which
can lie secured here will be put to
work on the very day operation be¬
gin. On the dredge alone and the
two steamers which will be used by
it, something like twenty-five or more
men are needed. Those who have ex¬
perience will be given the prefer¬
ence and such as oilers, mates, fire¬
men, deckhands, etc., will be placed
It is the intention of the contractors
not to board employees and these will
no doubt find quarters as near the
scene of operation as possible. For
1 lie purpose of listing any who desire
to work on the dredge or the boats,
Engineer Torras will be at his office
in the court house tomorrow and part
of every day during the present week
and those who desire employment
should list their names and state ex
actly their experience in various
places aboard of boats. This
does not mean that the man who has
never been on a craft will be over¬
looked as he will be given a chance as
well as these who have been previous¬
ly employed on such work.
Engineer Torras informed the
dredging company’s officials how
anxious all concerned were to have
the work start on the elate set, May
16, and he was informed that there
would be no delay and that unless
something of an unforeseen nature
occurred, dredge, tugs and pontoons
would be on the scene and ready for
beginning on the date selected.
The two large tugs which will tow
the dredge here, will return to Char¬
leston but the smaller crafts, two or
probably even three, will remain here
until the contract is completed. It
is stated that the Atlantic, Gulf and
Pacific Dredging company is among
the best in matter of equipment in
the United States and. some of the
largest projects ever handled in Am¬
erica have been successfully complet¬
ed by this great concern.

BUFFALO SWAMP
ROADWAY SOON TO
BE HARD-SURFACED
ROAD THROUGH SWAMP IIAS
BEEN BROADENED AND
MADE PASSABLE
The finishing touches will be placed
on the Jacksonville Highway within
the next few days, according to in¬
formation from an authoritative
source, ami the road that has been
a menace to autoists for years will
be made as passable as any in the
county.
Reference is made to the highway
from the thirteen mile post, at Old
Sterling, leading through Buffalo
Swamp, and thence to the Camden
county line. For months work has
been progressing on the road through
the swamp, which has been widened
and leveled by a large force of
hands, under the supervision of the
highway commission. The work of
grading and widening . the , roanway .
has practically been completed and
the surfacing of the road will soon
begin.
The highway project was con¬
structed by the county and the state
highway department, on a fifty-fifty
basis. The roadway is to be surfaced
with gravel and when completed will
be one of the best roads leading out
of Brunswick. The Buffalo Swamp
road has for years been a serious
problem with the county commission¬
ers and t.he fact that it is soon to be
traversed by a hard-surfaced high¬
way will be hailed with delight by
motorists from every section of the
country. It was one of the nnssmg
links in the Savannah-Brunswick
Jacksonvile Highway.
The placing of gravel on the high¬
way from Old Sterling, south, will
begin within the next ten days and
be pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible.
BUDGET DIRECTOR
PREDICTS LARGE
BALANCE FOR YEAR
DECLARES SURPLUS OF $60,000,
000 WILL BE CARRIED
OVER- IN 1923.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, May 5.—Prediction
that the Treasury would finish cur¬
rent calendar year with a surplus of
sixty million dollars was made today
by Director Lord of the Budget Corm
mission, on the basis of latest esti¬
mates of internal revenue and cus¬
toms receipts. Director Lord .placed
customs revenue at five hundred and
forty milion dollars for the year end¬
ing June 30, and internal r’evenue re¬
ceipts at two billion, five hundred and
fifteen million dollars. There is no
indication that there will be a falling
off in the remaining months of this
year. :• *
At the same time, Genera! Lord
said, he did not intend to allow the
lid of federal expenditures to be pried
loose as a result of the better
look.
A comparison of total
expenditures of operating the govern
ment departments for 1923 with
tual expenditure of last year shows a
reduction of more than two hundred
million dollars, but Budget Director
Lord hopes to make savings even
greater.

EFFORT TO STOP
LABOR RECRUITING
NOW BEING MADE
STATE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
WILL REFUSE TO ISSUE
LICENSES
Albany, Ga., May 5.—At a confer
ence K between W. w E. „ Christie, assist¬
ant commissioner of commerce and
labor for Georgia, and citizen of Al¬
bany in the office of Mayor H. A. Pea¬
cock this morning, it was declared
that a serious condition exists in Al¬
bany and throughout this section in
reference to the emigration of labor.
It was the opinion of those present I
that emigration agents are responsi-j
should ble for be this activity and that they j
checked even if it is neces- j
sary to revoke licenses already issued [
to them and to refuse to issue fur- i
ther p.rniits. ;
Mr. Christie said that Commission- I
H. M. Stanley received a tele- ;
Tarver stating that W. S. Gibson had
made application for a state license
as an emigration agent, that he had
already secured a city license and a
county license and wanted to know
if it would be all right to allow him to i
send a shipment of labor out of Al- j
bany before the license was issued. |
“The commissioner informed him that j
it would not be all right and for him |
to such arrest Gibson if he Christie attempted any j j
shipment,” Mr. stated.
Mayor Peacock stated that as soon
as he learned that the license had
been issued, he instructed City Treas
urer J. W. Armstrong to revoke it and j
demand its return. The license was ;
returned to police headquarters this
morning, Mr. Peacock stated.
PILOTAGE RATE TO
BE CUT TO COMPETE
WITH OTHER PORTS
__ v j
COMMISSIONERS IN LENGTHY
MEET TO DECIDE ON NEW
RATES AND RULES
-
At a meeting of the board of pilot
commissioners held at the office of
Capt. Frank D. Aiken last night, it
was decided to reduce the rate of
pilotage at the port of Brunswick
and also to change a number of rules
now governing the pilots of this bar.
Fact of the. matter is, as stated by
a member of thfe board, this port can¬
not afford to have charges in excess
of competing ports and the new rate,
which goes into effect on June 1, will
be practically the same as the pres¬
ent rate at Savannah. While it is
true that Savannah is a fresh watqr
port an acknowledged fact that en¬
try there is more difficult than here
at Georgia’s greatest harbor, pilotage
rates have been less there and where
ships enter, a Harbor partly loaded
from another American port, having
already paid pilotage once, it placed
Brunswick at a disadvantage when
rate in excess of its competing port,
Savannah, was charged,
It is the opinion of members of
the board that meeting competition
will increase commerce and, in the
meantime, will cause no hardship to
come to the local pilots as a rate
which will meet the approval of all
parties will be reached.

Albany, N. Y„ May 5.—That Gov

of the action of both houses of the
legislature on prohibition
ment there is little doubt although no
intimiation has been given as to what
he will do.
The general assembly passed a bill,
which if signed by the governor will
make New York the only state res¬
cinding the legislation enacted sup¬
plementary to the Volstead act, which
was incorporated in the state Mul
lan-Gage act.
The governor’s approval of the li
quor legislation is expected because
he was elected nn a beer and wine

to such a measure as this one which

j
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL
PUT IN LARGE FORCE
OF AGENTS
--
Washington, May 5—Coming in the
midst of a renewed effort to cut off
New York’s liquor supply' at sea, the
action of the New York legislature in
repealing* the state enforcement law
which heretofore has aided toward
federal enforcement within the bor¬
ders of the state is looked upon here
as increasing many-fold the difficul¬
ties of the federal prohibition forces
assigned to that territory. Most offi
| c ials concerned with the prohibition
enforcement took the attitude today
that they could not comment on the
legislature’s action until they
better informed as to its full scope,
Among all of them, however, there
was a disposition to view the step
with disappointment and alarm.
Speaking for the Anti-Saloon
League, Wayne B. Wheeler charac¬
terized the enforcement law repeal
as the “only legislative consolation
prize the wets have won this year,”
and added that “New York is in a
class by itself and furnishes no cri¬
terion for lawabiding states on the
question of prohibition.”
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
declared there would be no let-down
in prohibition enforcement in New
York state as a result of the with
drawal of the state forces.
“This action only means,” said the
commissioner, “that the federal or
ganization in New York will have to
assume more responsibility and in the
largest measure possible provide fed¬
eral agencies to make up the loss of i j
whatever cooperation may have been
provided by the state forces.”
Mr. Haynes added that the enforce¬
ment bureau had sufficient funds to ■
increase its field workers in the state.
The action of the legislature, he said, I
however, did not relieve the state of- 1
fleers of the responsibility they had j
assumed in guaranteeing in their oath
of office to enforce the constitution
of the United States. I

ON INTERNATIONAL LAW
Prosecution Attempted to Bring
Out Menacing Attitude of
German Workers Prior to
Firing By French Soldiers,
(By Associated Press.)
Werden, Germany, May 5.—Ger¬
man directors of the Krupp works
plan to carry their case to the high¬
est court of appeals of France if they
are convicted by the present court
martial, it was announced tonight by
M. Moriaud, chief counsel for the de
; fense.
The appeal, the counsel sai.d, would
be based on international law and
would raise the question of legality
of the French commander’s order
which the Germans are charged with
violating.
The court martial’s progress on
the second day of the trial indicated
that the case would be continued un¬
til Wednesday. The .prosecution at¬
tempted to bring out the menacing
attitude of German workmen prior
to the firing by French soldiers.
The defense sprang a surprise at
the resumption of the eourtmartial
of Dr. Gustav Krupp von Boehlen and
Hulbaeh and the 'other defendants
who are charged with the responsibil
i ity for the disturbance at the Krupp
plant on March 31. Counsel announc
, ed that twenty-two additional defense
witnesses have been summoned,
bringing the total to forty-tnree.
The court heard the testimony of
four French soldiers who were part
of the squad whiementered the Krupp
plant. They gave evidence to show
that the defendant Mueller, chairman
of one of t.he workingmen’s council’s,
was responsible for inciting the work¬
ers to attack the French troops. These
• witnesses gave no testimony against
Dr. Krupp von Boehlen and other di¬
rectors, as they did not come into
contact with the officials in question.
BRUNSWICK’S FUTURE
IS GREAT, DECLARES
ATLANTA CAPITALIST
After spending a short time in
Florida, and returning to his home
in Atlanta, T. R. Sawtell arrived in
Brunswick yesterday for a visit of
gevera j days
The Atlanta capitalist came here
for the purpose of looking over the
properties at the picric acid plant,
which he recently purchased and
which he intends to develop into a
manufacturing site, in the event cer
tain negotiations which are now pend
ing materialize. ' i
“I came to Brunswick on a pleas¬
ure trip,” said Mr. Sawtell yesterday,
“and had no idea of investing a dollar
here when I arrived. Being impress
ed with the future of this thriving
and progressive city, I decided to
make an investment which I did not
contemplate. I am so much interest-:
ed in Brunswick that I expect'- to
make further investments. There is
no doubt in my mind but that this city
is coming to the front. It is the prin
cipal seaport of Georgia, and is go¬
ing to be developed and that means
that it is inevitably bound to be one of
the leading cities on the South Atlam
tic coast.”
Mr. Sawtel stated that he is, going
to show his faith in this city’s future
by becoming a citizen here as well as
a citizen of Atlanta. “In fact,” said
he,' “I expect to spend much of my
time in this, my newly adopted home.”
