Washington, 9ace e. The high
way and Dlways of finance, as
ttaycrsed By operators on the New
York stock ExchaHs2, were mapped
out before the House tanking anu
currency committee, today in its
money trust" inquiry.
Frank X. SturSie. Of the brokerage
firm of Strong. Stug2iss and Co.,
former president and a momber of
the hoard OF governors Of the stock
exchange, told the committee at
length about the way CT the street. y
the testimony of Sturgiss brought
out the following points:
Tho membership of the stock eX-
change has not been Increased since
1850, when it was fixed at | 100.
Since then the business done and the
stocks listed on the exchange have
increased about fifty times over.
Sturgiss declared that an increase in
membership was not necessary for
the present membership was well
able to handle the business of the
public,
In d dozen recent failures Sturgiss
admitted stock exchanges had car
ried with them stock owned in part
by ;he partners but hypothicatcd by
tho brokers for more than the real
ownership Of the brokers In such
eases the proceeds of the sale Of the
bankrupt 'bfoker's sdat on the, cI-

Used As Collateral.
Sto2k exchange brokers usually
| used the stock owned in part by their
customers as collateral, to support
their own loans, Sturgiss said, re-
hypothicating the securities for a
greater amount than Is represented
in the debt of the customer on the
stocks
He added that the governors Of the
Exchange would welcome any sug-
gestons that would put stop to tho
practice lie disagreed with q
scheme proposed by Attorney Unter-
meyer that would force brokers tc
mark on loan envelopes contain.

which they were already held as Sc

DAWSON MAN TAKES ISSUE
WITH ATLANTA NEWSPAPER

l will not theorize concerning the
effect this law will have, but will
ask you to look to the records of
your files for what it could and
would do if given half chance. Go
back to that brief period just after
the passage of the prohi law and be-
fore liquor was relicensed under the
guise of near beer, If your files and
almost the entire press of Georgia
does not show that to be the most
sane and sober period of our state S
history then it's my treat to soda wa
ter. That was the only time ever
heard of when the guard houses and
jails had an opportunity of airing
and summing. Editor Rainey of The
Dawson News has offered what seems
to me fair suggestion. He says.
give the law fair trial, and if it
proves to be bad law repeal it,
Then, what would be a fair trial?
We have had whiskey at least 100
years; it would be fair to try prohi-
bitiOn (not nigh beer) for 100 years,
but | will not ask that of you; 25
years trial will do. Think of this
The liquor dealers don't want the
Tippins bill passed Who is it that
does?"

Wants the Tippins Beer Bill Passed,
and the State Prohibition Law
Given a Fair Trial.

The following is an extract from
communication written to the At
lanta Journal by Mr.. w. P. Hornady,
in which the Dawson man takes is
sue with that newspaper on the Tip
pins anti-beer bill:
II am little jealous of your edi-
torial ability and influence all lean
ing to and encouraging the whiskey
side in Ghis bill, which l think was
done when you suggested to the law
breakers that there are not enough
law-keepers in Georgia to enforce
that law. You are obliged to see
that this was and is encouragement
to the laWless class.
LAS a matter of fact, no one eX-
poets that the enforcement of this
law shall be made perfect at one
stroke, but if the people will give it
as fair trial as they have the law
against murder then if it has not
worked great good for the state
will be glad to help in having it re-
pealed.

ITS NOW UP TO GOVERNOR
BILL WENT TRIPPING THROUGH
THE GEORGIA SENATE.
Only Eight Measley Votes Were Mus
tered Against 1t. Every Amend
ment Was Voted Down.

Discarding five amendments sub
mitted by the opponents and near
opponents of the measure the thirty
two accredited prohibitionists in the
state senate rallied three more votes
to their standard Wednesday and
passed the Tippins-Alexander anti
near beer bill 35 to 8.
The vote on the bill as a whole
came after two hours of rather feat
ureless and incoherent debate, in
which the amendments were dispos-
ed of in jig time, none Of them re-
ceiving more than 10 votes.
Senator l.. C. Graham's assertion
that Hooper Alexander the prohibi-
ton leader in the house, had played
politics with the bill to vent his ha-
tired of Governor Brown and Presi-
dent Slaton's threat to arrest specta-
tors for disturbing the deliberations
by applause proved the only sensa-
tions.
The bill passed as if by program.
It's supporters moved according to a
preconceived plan. The opposition
was as spiritless as it was futile.
The amendments which went by
the boards in rapid succession were:
BY Senator w. S. Mann: To sub
nit the bill to a vote of the people.
BY Senator w. D. Crawford: To
strike out the clause calling every
beverage liquor"
By Senator J. B. Douglass: To
strike out the clause including pro-
prietary medicines and fiayoring ex-
tracts.
BY Senator Dickerson: To strike
the clause allowing beverages con-
tanning one-half OF one per cent Of
alcohol to be sold.
By Senator L. C. Graham: To
place the enforcement of the bill on
county sheriffs instead of the gov
ernor.

WAR ON 'SQUITO WITH FISH
ILLINOIS CENTRAL ROAD WILL
STOCK PONDS WITH MINNOWS.
Will Hound the Pest to Their De-
struCtiOn by Placing Young Gold
Fish in Every Stagnant Pool.

Will Hound the Pest to Their De-
struction by Placing Young Gold
Fish in Every Stagnant Pool.
Ever since it's two lonesome ances-
tors fitted out of the ark the mos
quito has done the greater share of
it's housekeeping about the stagnant
pools of green-scummed water. But
this haven of rest for the insect is to
be abolished, and the instrument of
abolition is the dainty minnow of the
goldfish.
The Illinois Central railroad,
which owns the Central of Georgia,
has announced that it will lead the
work of bounding the mosquito to its
end by stocking every stagnant pool
on it's lines with the minnows of the
goldfish. The idea was conceived by
DR.. G. G. Dowdall, chief surgeon OF
the road, and will be the first expert
ment of it's kind ever made.
"All minnows eat the larvae of the
mosquito" DR.. Dowdall explained,
but no minnoW except that of the
GOLDFISH Is dDlG W SuIflf6 Ill oldS mani
water. 1t never has been thought of
before, but we believe that by stock
ing these hardy minnows we shall be
able in short time to do away en-
TREY with the malaria and other dis
ease carrying mosquito"
Already the road has oiled many
of the larger bodies of water along
it's lines, and this has brought splen-
did results in doing away with the
harmful insects. But it is the small
er pools, especially those that are
stagnant, that serve as the chief
breeding places for the mosquito,
and these the minnow system alone,
DR.. Dowdall believes, will remedy.
Just what is to become of the gold
fish when they have outgrown their
minnowhood and have become pa
rents of voracious children has not
been the cause of great worry to the
sanitary officials of the road. DR..
Dowdau pointed out that the larger
of the goldfish, too, thriVed on the
larvae of the insects, and that full
grown goldfish can live there i'll hap
piness.

SENATOR BACON COMMENDED
FOR REMAINING AT HIS POST
Georgia Senator Stays on His JOB at
Washington Even Though He Has
Opposition for Reelection.

Georgia politicians are comment
ing widely on the patriotism and
sense of duty which keeps Senator
Bacon at his post in Washington IN
spite OF the fact that he has opposi-
ton bitterly fighting him back here
at home.
AS the real democratic leader OF
the senate, for so he is regarded
Georgia's senior senator feels his
presence is essential to the protec-
ton of the party's interests and those
of his state, and consequently he re-
mains at Washington instead of COM
ing home to wage campaign for re-
election.
What the senator has not the time
to do for himself his friends are DO
ing for him. They are calling atten-
ton to his splendid record, and re-
calling that his yea vote was the nrst
to be recorded on the farmers free
list bill.

gust 21st, the same date as for the
staote primary.
There is considerable difference OF
opinion as to the district-wlde
and the county unit plans Of nomlna-

the merits and dement's of the TWO

discussion at the committee meet

SMITH TO FORCE INQUIRY
GEORGIA SENATOR WILL COME
TO AID OF THE HOUSE.
Wants Senate Committee on Finance
to Act on House Resolution to In
vestigate the Money Trust.


vestigate the Money Trust.
WASHINGTON.-The senate COM
ttee on finance is to be attacked
by Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia
and other democrats who are coming
to the aid of the house committee
charged with the duty of investigat-
ing the Money Trust"
The refusal of the national banks
to report to this committee or to sub
NIT their books to its inspection
threatened this inquiry, so the house
passed bill giving the committee as
full inquisitoral powers as are lodged
IN the office Of tine comptroller of the
currency.
Until the senate agrees to this bill
the hands of the house committee
are practically tied so far as the ma
tional banks are concerned. The
bill was passed in the house May IS
and sent to the senate and referred
to the finance committee, by which
it was tucked away in pigeon hole.
EuJISdLIOo, CdJOlluS anu IA4 Cc1I9
have been without effect on Chair
man Penrose, who refuses to give
the measure consideration.
1t is believed enough progressive
republicans will vote with the demo-
Gratis to put it through and drag the
bill from the committee. If that
is done the investigation of the
Money Trust" will proceed.
