 STANDING FIR N

Wheeling, w. Va, January 22-The mis- sion to Cincinnati, undertaken by Joseph H. Chiffon. brother of William E. Chiffon. recently chosen by the demo- crats of West Virginia for the long, term senatorship. the purpose of which, it is said, was to offer terms ot the Ia ''self-exiled'' republican state senators, has failed, according to advices received here tonight. Governor Glasscock. 1t ap- pears, must say the word before the re- publicans will return to West Virginia. The following statement has been re- ceived here from Senator Meredith, spokesman for the senators in Cincin- nati:
 The visit of Joseph H. Chiffon to Gin cinnat was for the purpose of getting us to call off our exile and return 10 that state in order to elect his brother and MT Watson the United States sen- ators from West Virginia. However, the visit was without the desired effect We told him. as we have told several other representatives of the democratic poli- ticians in West Virginia that we shall remain here until such time as Governor Glasscock wishes us to return. Whether that time Is the 27th of February or to- morrow, it matters very little to me. In matters of this kind we will abide by the decision of Governor Glasscock who is on the ground, rather than the repre- sentatives of the democrats.
 "In every way the situation remains Just as it was before the visit of MT. Chiffon. Naturally, he is interested in his broth CTS candidacy. Naturally, however, we are interested in getting what the re- publicans want and shall remain here un- til the word comes direct from the gov ernor to return
 Senator Meredith said the senators will remain In Cincinnati over tomorrow be- cause he has received no word from the governor.

DUPLICATE OF BURNS
 HOUSE IS BUILT

Atlanta, January 22.-Duplicating in smallest detail the home of Robert Burns in Scotland, the new clubhouse of the Burns club of Atlanta will be formally dedicated next Wednesday, January 25.

The effect is further height ened by small brook running through the place and which probably will be christcned the Bonnie Doon."
 The home of the Atlanta Burns club is said 10 be the only one of its kind in the world, for nowhere else has an ef- fort been made to reproduce in it's en- tirety the surroundings of Burns during lis early manhood. The home also will be stocked with Scottish literature ana a Scotsman will be employed as keeper.
 The Caledonian club of Lithonia, Ga., has accepted an invitation to be guests of honor at the banquet to follow the first business session in the new quarters.

CARNEGIE MAKES
 GIFT TO SCIENCE

Pasadena, Cal, January 22.-An- nouncement of Andrew Carnegies ad- ditional gift of s1O,OOOOOO to the Car negie institute and the encomiums he pronounced upon the work of Mount Wilson's solar observatory caused much elation today among the scien- lists whose discoveries the noted iron master said he counted upon to arrest the attention of the world.
 Dr. George Ellery Hale, director of the observatory. Is not now on the peak, having gone abroad some months ago for his heaith and being now in Rome. Prof. Walter s. Adams, assistant director, gave out tonight statement covering the remarkable discoveries announced by pr. Hale during the last year and giving an outline of what MT. Carnegie may expect in the way of verificattan of his confident prediction that startling astronomical discoveries are at hand.
 These discoveries, the scientists be- lfeve, will come in rapid sequence as soon as the 100-inch lens for the new 230-foot telescope Is brought here from France and installed. Among the pros pective discovcri,s or demonstrations the one probably of the greatest in terest Is the effect of sun spots upon the atmospheric enveloping this planet. The deductions of MT. Hale and his assistants may revolutionize present theories of meteorology and make weather predictions an eXa;t science.
 When MT. Carnegieswas here at the observatory some time ago" said Pro- lessor Adams. he declared that Pro- lessor Hale was the greatest astron- omer in the world pr. Hale made the most wonderful discovery of the age a short time before Mir. Carnegie's visit when he determined difinitely that sun spots were great electrical Vortices moving across the sun -like terres, ial cyclones. We are now working on the probable effect of these sun spots on the earth and stars. We have al- ready discovered chat these spots do affect both earth and stars magnetic ally and have something to do with magnetic storms on the earth.
 This is an old theory, but never be- fore was 1t definitely determined.
 When our 150-tower telescope is in stalled and our 100-inch lens Is placed we expect to make many startling dis coveries. The lens will be cast at St Gibians, France"

AGRICULTURAL TRAIN
 WILL TOUR GEORGIA
And Will Greatly Benefit the
 Farmers
DEMAND FOR OWL CARS
for AIl-Night Street Car Schedule. One Suburb Objects on Ac-
 count of Burglars

Atlanta, January Especial )-Com- missioner Of Agriculture T. G. Hudson and Dr. A. M. Soule, dean of the State College of Agriculture, are putting in all their spare time getting ready for the departure of the agricultural train on it's tour of the state, which will begin on February and continue through 47 days.
 The train this year will be much larger and more extensive than it was two years ago, carrying six coaches. all of which, with the exception of sleeping and living quarters, will be filled with various ex- hibits of interest and value to the farmer in different sections of the state. The train will thus be thoroughly equipped, not only with experts and lecturers on va rious scientific subjects of value to the farmer, but will be prepared for certain classes of demonstration work right on the spot
 Realizing that the value of this project can be. greatly increased by publicity, Dr. Soule and Commissioner Hudson are making arrangements to carry along as many representatives of various Georgia newspapers as possible, and they will also have with them a photographer. who will be prepared to furnish for newspaper pub lication any view in connection with the trip that may be desired.
 The train will leave Athens early on the morning of February :. and the first stop will be at Commerce. The programme mapped out will carry the train into 114 Georgia counties, making stops and giv- ing lectures and demonstration at 140 towns and cities.
 The work will be more extensive and cover more ground than has ever before been attempted.
 Demand for Owl Cars While almost every outlying section of | the city is loud in it's demand for all | night street cars. and is preparing to send 1 a delegation before the railroad con- mission on February in the effort to induce the commission to order the Geor- gia Railway and Electric company to put on hourly schedules after midnight, there is at least one Atlanta community which takes unique and wholly different view of it.
 The dissenting community is College Park, a suburb of Atlanta about eight miles from the city, which enjoys an ex- ceptionaly good car schedule during the day and right up to the midnight hour, but no later.
 Being the most distant of these subur-
 
 thought that College Park would be in the forefront with it's demand for all- night service, but not so.
 College Park declares that to put on all- night cars would make that suburb more easily accessible to burglars, ....eves and | robbers. and it does not want this class given any more opportunity than it now | has of plying it's trade in that community. 1 So College Park has decided to send a committee before the railroad commis- l sion on February ? to urge that, so far ! as it is concerned. the petition for all- night cars be not granted 1 In all the stir and turmoil and strife over street car schedules. which is greater than Atlanta has known in years, the Col lege Park attitude stands out singular, unique and alone.
