Congressman Livingston Defeated for
Supporting Cannon Rules.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 25-Hoke Smith
of Atlanta probably will be the next
governor of Georgia.
Two of Georgia's Oldest congnass-
men in point of service, Leonides F.
Livingston and William NJ. Howard,
were defeated for denomination in
campaigns in which their alleged sup
port of the so called Cannon rules was
brought forward in the argument
against them.
These were the most notable results
of Georgia's Democratic primary.
Congressman Livingston has served
ten continuous terms and was the
ranking Democratic member on the
committee on appropriations The
fight against him was made on the is
sue that he supported the Cannon
rules at the organization of congress
last winter, The same argument was
effectively employed against Howard

NEW BASIS FOR
RATES DEMANDED
Shippers Will Ask for Physical
Valuation of Roads.

Washington, Aug. 25-A demand
for a physical valuation of railroads
operating east Of the Mississippi river
is to be made at the hearing of the
interstate commerce commission to be
held in Chicago on Aug 29. The ship
ping associations which protested in
May and June against proposed in
creased freight rates intend to raise
the issue. The fact became known
here through representatives of the
associations concerned. Under an or
der issued by the interstate commerce
commission some weeks ago an in
quiry is now being made to determine
the reasonableness of the proposed
advance in rates. AS an incident of
the inquiry representatives of the
commission will assemble in Chicago
on Aug. 20 to take testimony A hear
ing will also be held in New York in
due season.
The shippers have now at work in
the Offices of the interstate commerce
commission a corps of accountants
under the direction of the president
of leading audit company gathering
figures furnished by the carriers un-
der the law. These figures will be
used at the forthcoming hearings in
Chicago and New York.

MISSING MEN ESCAPE FIRES
Forest Rangers, Supposed to Have
Perished, Are Safe.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 25.-News
that comes from the burning forests
of Idaho, Montana and Washington
increases the seriousness of the situa-
tion so far as the destruction of tim
ber is concerned, but reduces the esti-
mate of loss of life. Only fifty-four
persons are known to have perished.
Many of the hundreds of national for
est rangers who were reported miss
ing and probably dead have turned up
safe. The fire swept country contains
many lakes and streams of water and
by taking refuge in these the skillful
rangers probably saved their lives.
Everywhere, except near the towns,
the fires are still spreading. Many
companies of United States and state
troops are on their way to the scene,
hoping to outmaneuver an enemy that
cannot be conquered by front attack.
The best hope of the threatened for
ests, however, is in the sky. Rain and
snow have fallen in Montana and light
rains in Idaho and the season of the
fall rains is near at hand. Stories of
the binding and burning of fire fight
ers have made 1t difficult to obtain
men to go into the blazing woods.
Reports from the forest fires on the
Middle Fork and in the Elk City re-
gion state that the wind has increased
to a gale and the ground gained by
the rangers and volunteers In the lull

BIG DECREASE IN
BIRTH RATE SHOWN
Census Returns Indicate Serl-
Gus State Of Affairs.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Startling con-
clusions spring from an examination
of the returns of the census of 1919,
as far as the returns have come in,
when compared with statistics Of nat
ural growth in former decades. The
coming race suicide casts its shadow
before; for the natural increase of
the native born American is falling
off to an alarming extent and another
decade at this rate would put us in
the class with France, whose decreas-
ing population has been the burning
question with the government there.
In spite of all our natural resources
and all the national and state aid to
encourage an increase keeping step
with former years the signs point to a
dropping away of 80 per cent in in
ternal increase of population from the
records Of former decades.
