WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The flow Of
CAB" at this session of congress sur
passed all records. Never in the his
tory OF this legislative body has such a
volume of oratory been produced.
The figures demonstrate that during the
session just closed approximately $4,000,

Congressional Record. The size of that
volume has grown to 1908 pages The
session has continued 265 days

many have considered matters of more
Importance, but none has shown such a
reckless use of the printing power.

act, is the nearest approach to the rec
ord of this session. That session existed
@04 days and The Record grew TO II ,5SS
pages.
The second session of the fifty third
congress, which enacted the Wilson Cor

JOHN D. 'SFARM|N
REIGN Of TERROR
Employees WayIaid and Shot.
Detective Burns to Solve
the Mystery.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27-Following an
extended conference with John D.
Rockefeller Jr., William ]. Burns, the
detective, today took personal charge
of the hunt being made for the des-
peradoes who, during the past few
weeks, have held the estate of John D.
Rockefeller, the oil magnate, at Pecan
tico Hills, in a state of terror.
Efforts on the part of the local police
to round up the men, who within the
past few days have shot two of the
employees of the Rockefeller estate.

and spread terror throughout the entire
section in which the great estate lies.
have been unsuccessful.
The trouble which has held the Po-
cantico home of the oil magnate in a
state of terror began about three weeks
ago when several employees were dis
charged, following complaint lodged
with the superintendent The dis
charged men, it was said began send
ing threats to the men retained. warn
ing them that unless they quit they
would be severely dealt with.
No attention was paid to the warn
ings. A few days later an employee on
the way to the estate was wayIaid and
seriously injured. Others were held up
at night on the roads and robbed. The
trouble eliminated toward the end of
last week when an employee was shot
and seriously wounded.
For the past ten days the estate had
been guarded by armed men and all in
truders or suspicious persons warned

Fraud Charged in
Gilmer and Fannin

Attorney Carl Hutcheson, Of Atlanta,
will go before the state convention in
Macon tomorrow and file charges of
corruption in Gilmer and Fannin coun-
ties, whereby the nomination of Judge
Newt Morris was made possible over
Judge H. l.. Patterson in the recent
Blue Ridge circuit primary.
Mr.. HutchesOn returned from Gilmer
and Fannin counties late Monday after
noon, loaded with afidavits and allega-
lions of fraud, which he proposes to air
before the convention. Luther Z. Ros-
ser, another we'll known Atlanta attor-
ney, will represent Judge Morris in the
hearing.
The charges to be brought by Attor-
ney Hutchinson involve fraud Of a most
Migrant character, intimidation and
denial of suffrage to qualified but anti
Morris Democrats.
The Morris attorneys under the d.
recting hand of Mr.. Rosser, will enter
sweeping denial to the allegations
brought by the Patterson attorney. and
VIII demand of the convention a full in
Vestigatton and petition il to throw out
both Gilmer and Fannin counties en-
tirely, If 1t believes they should go out.
1t Will be insisted, however, that if
the judgeship vote is thrown out, the
entire returns must go along with them
SN'N ~''o''SS OAllG ! ICs
This would bring on a lot more talk.
for the throwing out of either Gilmer
or t'annin, the one without the other
would seriously affect the court of APP
peals race, as Broyles carried one Coun-
~ and Pottle the other-and both are
two-vote counties.
To throw out Fannin and not Gilmer
would give the court of appeals nomi-
nation to Pottle; to throw out GilmeI
and not Fannin would throw the court
of appeals race to Broyles
1t is thought that neither the Broyles
nor the Pottle forces would agree tC
any such settlement of their race. as
either action might make possible
The convention might. if it saw fit

but that a deplorable state of thing!

ties. particularly with respect to tn,

cal trckery, bald faced thievery and
general rottenness.
The Gilmer county row is ancient but
it never has been kept in cold storage
Maybe that is why 1t is so odoriferous!
Anyway the convention will have to
face it, for lawyers are here loaded
down with atiidaWts and allegations,
while other lawyers are here prepared
to defy the "allegaters" to the very
death
Everybody wishes Gilmer county
could, or would, come into state con-
vention sometime without a lot of dirty
linen to wash. But it looks as if that
day never will dawn.

will hear the Gilmer county indict-
ment, listen to arguments, and do moth

Suicide Among German Children.

y Why do SO many German children
commit suicide No one seems to
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact Indeed 1t has been said that
the majority of suicides are those of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the well'' has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind of
the child seeks relief In suicide from
the disbursement Of failure. It
would be interesting to know If any of
the so-called heather countries OF the
world have ever experienced such a
horrid social phenomena as thai Of
child suicide.
