MILLARD REESE
RESIGNS PLACE ON
BOARD EDUCATION
WELL KNOWN MEMBER INSISTS
ON SEVERING CONNECTION.—
OTHER MATTERS HANDLED
The Board of Education held a re
cessed session at plevent o’clock to
day and quite a number of matters of
a routine nature were handled.
Those present were A. V. Wood, ).
t. Colson, Millard Reese, J. K. Col -
nolius, Mrs. G. V. Cate, J. H. E. Di
mond, and Alex Livingston.
Millard Reese, for a number of
years one of the most active members
of the board, tendered his resignation
and insisted that it be accepted by
his fellow board members. Mr. Reenc
took the position that his personal
business matters required 'his whole
time and that lie finds it difficult to
continue to devote so much of it to the
school siuntion.
With the statement as final, the
members reluctantly accepted the
resignation.
The election of teachers was can
vassed and in many cases tentative
elections were made, which practical
ly serves to re-elect about ninety per
cent of the present staff of teachers.
HAULED A MILLION CARS OF
REVENUE FREIGHT EACH
WEEK IS FIGURE
Atlanta, April 1C.—(Statistics made!
publ.c here show that the railroads of j
the county loaded and hauled to des
tination within a period ol eight and |
a half months, an average freight of one each mil- j
lion cars oi revenue j
[ wc-ek. |
j A striking ^ methods of illustrating j
f this volume of traffic will be shown
by assuming that these cars could all |
i be made up into one train and that a I
locomotive and a caboose would be
added to each fifty cars.
This movement would thus call, it -
| is pointed out here, for 20,000 loco- i I
and 20,000 cabooses. If the
20.000 head 'head of of locomotives the the train train were with with placed the the forward forward at the | I
locomotive at Savannah, <3a., and the ;
train followed the route through I
Fla., to River Junction, |
these locomotives would extend
tinuously for 31 miles, or to (within 35 !
miles of River Junction. !
If the one million cars were placed !
behind these locomotives they would |
extend through River Junction to j
New Orleans; thence through El
Paso, Francisco, Tex., Cal., Los to Angeles Portland, and Ore., San |
:
thence to Seattle, to Spokane, to St.
Paul, to Chicago, on to New York, to
Washington and through Atlanta and,
Birmingham to a point 9(5 miles west
of tho latter point. i
If the 20,000 cabooses were
added to this train it would extend i
!:>2 miles further or to a point ten
miles north of Hattiesburg, Miss. In
; other words, the total length of the
: train would be 8,587 miles. This rep¬
[resents the work done every week for
[ many weeks in 1923 by the railways.

SHORTRIDGE AMENDMENT
ADOPTED; NO RECORD VOTE
General Opinion at the Capita! is
That President Coolidge Will
Hardly Dare to Veto the
Bill.
CAUSE OF SENATE ACTION
Thc principle clause that
aroused thc senate in the Jap¬
anese ambassador’s letter to Sec¬
retary Hughes said:
‘1 realize, as I believe you do,
the grave consequences which the
enactment of the measure retain¬
ing that particular provision (the
or.e forbidding the admission into
this country of all who are not
eligible to citizenship) would in¬
evitably bring upon thc other¬
wise happy and mutually advan¬
tageous relations between our
two countries.”
Washington. April 16.—Disregard
ing thc opposition of Secretary of
State Hughes, the senate has adopt
ed the amendment to the immigration
bill excluding Japanese, thereby c-re
ating- a delicate international situa
tiom ar.d adding to the differences be
.s een the administration and con
grers.
The amendment, introduced by Sen
a tor Shortridge, of California, was
..doptc-d without a record vote and
discussion. If acceptance
came suddenly at the end of Several
hours of heated debate on another
rnaUei—the V'-rcnt letter of i’resi
dent Coolidge on tne internal revenue
bureau investigation.
.Senator Shortridge. its author, had
consented to its consideration being
pos: coned until Wednesday. Late in
the afternoc-n Senator Reed, of Penn
syivania, in charge of the immigra
-Jon bill, hastily conferred with Sliort

sas, Democratic leader, and Repre¬
sentative Johnson, of Washington,
chairman of thc house immigration
committee.
He then presented thc amendment,
asking that it be given precedence
over pending amendments, which was
allowed. Senator Jones, of Washing
ton, asked what the amendment was.
Reed informed him. It was then
adopted without a roll-call, with less*
than half of the membership pres
cut.
Adoption of the amendment fol¬
lowed a. day of speculation around the
capitol as to the attitude President
'-' oo!id S e ,''’ oa > d * ak b and t« Ik a * ta
spokesmall for the president declined
to say whether Coolidge would veto
the immigration bill because of the
Japanese exclusion provision. The
Japanese embassy also is silent.
The president was fully informed
of the sentiment of the senate by
Senate:' Lodge, of Massachusetts, Re
leader, who told him in a
at the white house Tues
that the Japanese exclusion
amendment would he adopted because

General opinio:: at thc capitol is

to veto the bill on the basis of the
provision, because of the
majority polled in the house, and
a i most unanimous sentiment of
senate, v.diLh would practiaally
pas::age over a veto.
