FARMERS UNION
MEETS At CAPITOL
FEDERATION OF ALL COTTON
WAREHOUSES; OF THE STATE
is PLAN OF MEETING WHICH
is LARGELY ATTENDED.

The Farmers union of Georgia con-
vened here Monday morning for the pur-
pose of federating all the cotton ware
houses Of the state and thereby enabling
the planter to hold his crop until he is
offered what he considers a reasonable
price for IL.
The meeting is being held at the capt.
toll in the hail of the house of represen-
tatives. Between 800 and 400 members of
the union are in attendance, President
Barrett presiding. The session will con-
tinue through Monday and possibly into
Tuesday.
1t is believed by the promoters of this
movement that an adequate and cooper
alive warehouse system would mean a
much larger measure of independence for
the farmer. If the planter has con-
venient and dependable place where he
and his neighbors can store their cotton.
then, they say, he will be in a position
TO await a rise in price.
The union is said to own already more
than 100 warehouses in Georgia. All OF
these will be united under single direc-
ton and operated for the common good
Of the members. Meetings similar to that
now in session have already been held
in other states or will be held in the
immediate future. The movement is ma
ssonal in its scope. In this same connec-
ton the farmer will be urged to raise his
own supplies in order that his indepen-
dence may be still further reinforced.

RARE OLD LACE COST
WOMEN inANY DOLLARS

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-'Rare old
lace" as retailed by a mysterious
woman. from Paris, representing her
self as a countess, cost several New
York women more than $4,000. The
countess" who arrived at the St. Re
gis hotel in this city about a month
ago, armed with apparently unquestion-
ed letters of introduction from Paris,
accompanied by a maid. toy dog and
followed byAninc trunks, is missing.
She announced before her departure
that a friend had invited her to visit
her home and that she would temporar-
lily give up her apartments in the
hotel. 1t is said that she is by now
either in France or on her way there.
The rare old lace" which the woman
said had been handed down to her from
the courts Of Louis XIV ana Louis XIV,
are declared by lace experts here to be
practically valueless. This is the YER
dict of one importer, VINO examined
some of the samples:
II can hardly see how you were so
easily duped. This lace is a cheap imi-
tation and was, made in this country.
Not a piece you have with you was
made outside of New YORK, and it is
all machine-made at that"

HARTMAN WANTS TO
BUY !c1E SEAB0ARD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The visit OF
E. II. Hartman to Washington is said
to bear upon his long cherished wish 10
gain control of the eaboard Air Line. IL
is reported that he came TO Washington
to confer with certain of the stockhoid-
ers who are southern men. He returned
to New York last night. So far as can
be ascertained he did not call at the
/ white house.
The road has for some time been Joper-
ated under q joint receivership, represent
ing the John Shelton Williams and the
Thomas f. Ryan interests. 1t is said
now that Ryan, who recently announced
his retirement from active business, IS
willing TO, consider a fair proposition TO
dispose of his holdings in the ,seaboard,
and that Hartman wants to buy.
Several years ago Mr.. Hartman Joined
the Southern Pacific and Illinois Central,
and later acquired an interest in the Cen
trail of Georgia 1t is said now that he
desires TO extend his activities and hold
.ngs in the southern field and that the
opportunity to do, so. he thinks, lies in
the acquisition of the Seaboard.
The Seaboard, running from Richmond
to Tampa through the eastern section OF
J Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia and
through central Florida to Jacksonville
and thence TO the west coast to Tampa
traverses a section rich in tonnage pos
sbilities.
1t would give Hartman another COM
peting line of the Louisville and Nash
willie, which is the Illinois Centrals most
formidable competitor, and which Is !
part of the Atlantic Coast Line system
whose chief competitor for the traffic OF
the eastern shore from Virginia to Flor
ida is the Seaboard.

ed after-dinner speakers in the south,

BOAT GOES DOWN;
ENTIRE CREW LOST

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Although life
savers worked practically all night and
resumed their endeavors early today, a
sailors REFER which was cast up a quar-
ter of a mile down the coast from the
scene of the wreck, was the only trace
found of the crew of the Inflated little
fishing schooner Swallow, of st, Johns,
n. F., which was driven into the break
ers on Long Island and torn to pieces
during the storm which ragged Saturday
night.
The victims, thought to be twelve in
number, consequently are as yet I'M
named and the story of the disaster will
probably never be told, as there appears
to be little doubt that every man on
board persisted.
AS there are two schooners registered
under the name of Swallow, there was adj
ditional mystery when the wreck was
first discovered, but investigation seems
to ascertain definitely that it was the
little two-masted fishing boat from New
foundland. Life savers will continue their
vigil along the beach throughout the day,
hoping that some bodies may be washed
ashore.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Thornton Jen-

plicity in the murder of William E. An
mis-, will spend today in rest at local
hotel with his father and mother, Gen
eral and Mrs. Peter c. Hams. AS short
story writing is his profession, Hams
says he will get to work Immediately.
that is, just as soon as he has COM
pletely recovered from the effects of the
trial and his Imprisonment. His
trial, it is said. he will make the basis
of a novel on the "unwritten law" con-
corning which he is quoted as follows:
DO you know what stands out fore
most in my mind from the background
of my trial? This That the jury by ac-
quitting me of criminal responsibility
for the death of Annis has placed the
'unwritten law high above the written
law of the state of New York.
81 purpose to devote much of my time
in the immediate future to writing Sc
ries of articles embodying that thought.
l intend also to write a novel having for
its theme the 'unwritten law
Clearly the jury indicated the right
eousness of the unwritten law by find
ing me not guilty. That must be OBJ
vious to every mind that has followed
the testimony and grasped the signifi-
canoe of the verdict in correlation with
the judges charge.
Clearly, also If L am guiltless, my
brother is guiltless. Should he now be
tried, there is no doubt in my mind that
he will be acquitted"

KNOX BILL LOOKS
SURE OF PASSAGE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.sThe impress
sion is general that the Knox bill. which
aims to restrict the shipment of whisky
from wet to dry states. will become a
law at this session of congress.
It's success in the senate is said to be
assured and prohibition members of the
house entertain the belief that the meas
ure will also succeed there.
The Knox bill. which is a compromise
of all the proposed anti-hquor legislation.
provides that all packages of whisky
shipped into prohibition territory must
be plainly and conspicuously labeled
whisky on the outside Of the box or
package, so that the public may inform
itself as to the contents.
IL provides also that it shall be a mis-
demeanor for a man in prohibition terri
tory to receive such shipments under an
assumed name or have wet goods shipped
in servants or employees name.
The theory Of the measure is that such
publicity will curtail in large meas
ure the shipments of whisky into prohibit
ton territory
