NEW DECATUR COUNCIL REFUSES INVITATION TO DISCUSS CONSOLE DAYTON WITH DECATUR COUNCIL. PREPARE TO FIGHT

Decatur, February S.-(Special)-At regular meeting of the. city council of Decatur last night the question of the consolidation of the two Decaturs was taken up Previous to this meeting Mayor Henry A. Skeggs of Decatur addressed a letter to Mayor John Patterson of New Decatur, inviting him. and members of his council to come to the meeting last night and take part in the discussion of mat ters pertaining to the consolidation of the two cities. A letter was received from the mayor and council of New Decatur declining the invitation. Therefore, many of the citizens of the two cities who favor consolidation are of the firm opinion that consolidation is not what Is wanted by either of the city councils of the two Decaturs, but that 1t is merely matter of play for time, in order that the stafe legislature may perhaps adjourn before the Walden Greater Decatur bill is taken up in the legislature.
 Believing thus, many of the citizens here who favor the Walden bill and who are desirous of seeing the two cities consoli- date, will work for and make a strong appeal 10 the state leSlSldture tndl tHe Walden bill be passed by the legislature now in session. Many citizens of both Decatur and New Decatur claim that the city councils of each of the Decaturs have been merely playing to the gal leries.

SENATOR MONEY SAYS CANAL MUST
 BE FORTIFIED

Washington. February S.-senator Mon ey of Mississippi today delivered an elab- crate speech in support of his resolution. declaring for the fortification of the Pan anna canal. The speech was an exhaus- tive argument and attracted especial at tention because, while delivered by democrat. in effect it was in support of an administration policy.
 The Senator took the broad ground that the United States is under obligation to keep the canal open. He asserted it would be impossible to do so in case of war unless the canal should be protected by every device known to modern science against military attack. The contention was made that no nation could take ex- oeption to a policy of fortification and it was argued that Great Britain had given her asesnt to that course when her repre- sentative struck out of the HayPauntte' fote treaty the non-fortifcation clause which had been appropriated from the Suez agreement.
 Admitting that the expense of adequate fertilization would be large, MT. Money said that even then it would not be worth considering when compared to the sense of security it would give.
 As going to show the attitude of Great Britain, MT. Money said that nation had demolished most of her Caribbean forts.
 "As far as Great Britain is concerned we have free hand to do what we think best,' he said.
 That nation the only one except Pan anna especially interested, is relying upon us to take care of her interest"
 The cost of one battleship, said MT. Money, would pay for all the fortifica- tions necessary
 When MT. Money concluded Secretary Root expressed his hearty concurrence in all that the Mississippi senator had said and added that when the time came he would unhestatingly vote for fortifica- tion.
