EX-BLIND TIGER KING
OF MACON TO STAND
TRIAL IN OLD CASES

MACON, GA. Aug. 15.--Chauncey
Groves, the former blind tiger king of
Macon. who is now a prosperous busl-
ness man of Miami Fla, and whose
pardon by Governor Brown last year
stirred up so much feeling here, must
stand trial on two charges at the ap-
preaching term of the city court.
Groves came here this week and. to-
gether with his bondsman. Nick Block,
made an urgent appeal to Solicitor
General Matthews to recommend the
dismissal of the indictments against
him. The solicitor general refused to
do this, and Groves must be tried. He
is charged with violating the prohibi-
ton law and also with pointing a pistol
at another.
Groves pleaded his residence in an
other state and the fact that he has sold
all Of his Macon property and retired
from business here as reasons why he
should not be prosecuted.

SLAIN
BOY ON THE JURY
Relatives Will Probe Lynching
of Negro Who Killed
Cedron Land.

COLUMBUS. GA, Aug. 15.-With
two uncles Of Cedron Land members of
the grand jury, an investigation was
begun today of the lynching of T. H.
Cotton. alias T. Z. McElhenny. late
Tuesday afternoon, when the negro
youth was taken from officers in the
Muscogee county court house just after
he had been sentenced to three years
Imprisonment for killing the Land boy.
Judge Price Gilbert delivered strong
charge to the grand jury in superior
court today, denouncing the lynching
and ordering the jury to make a thor
ough investigation. Several witnesses
have been summoned before the in
quisitors.
There were eighteen men in the mob,
and ii is claimed that number of them
are known to the officials, but the in
vestigations of the grand jury are kept
quiet and nothing will be given out I'M
til it is ready to make its findings
known to the court. The men who en-
gagged in the lynching are not residents
of the city and those who know them
have refused to publicly divulge their
names up to the present time. The
lynchers were from the northern part
Of the county, where the Land family is
prominent.

Because he vetoed one general bill

Dozens of local measures, passed

CHILD LABOR BILL
AIDS HIT COPELAN
Secretary of State Commission
Says Measure Was Smoth-
cred by Cotton Men.

A. J McKelway. Southern secretary
OF the child labor committee and acting
secretary Of the Georgia child labor
commission, vigorously protests the ac-
ton of the Georgia legislature in chok-
ing to death, in the last days of its
session, the child labor bill
Mr.. McKelway says the bin was
passed in the shape it was because the
advocates of a child labor bill on the
one hand and the cotton mill men on the
other supposedly had reached a COM
promise agreement in the matter, and
the cotton mill men had given assur-
ance Of their approval of the bill in its
final form.
Notwithstanding this approval and
agreement. McKelway charges that the
bill was smothered and prevented from
coming to vote in the last Wednesday
night session of the senate, and that
/ The smothering was accomplished al
the hands of Senator Copelan, a mem
Der of the cotton manufacturers asso-
citation and a directly interested party.
"Relic of Barbarism."
Complaining some what bitterly Of
Senator Copelan's action in this matter
and the failure of his association 10
stand to its agreement. Mr.. Mckelway
said today:
"Mauifestly an agreement that binds
only one side is Of no avail The de-
feat of this bill leaves the Empire state
of the South occupying the bad emil
hence as the only state in the Union
allowing ten-year old children to work
in factories, and the 60-hour week ali
lows them to work eleven hours day,
Government statistics show that the
children of the cotton mills have a per-
centage of illiteracy four times as great
as the white children of the same ages,
from ten to fourteen years, in the stale
lat large Georgia can not present d
serene front to civilization while al
lowing this relic of barbarism to re-
main untouched by law"
MI McKelway says the death of the
child labor bill at the hands of Senator
Copelan reopens the fight all along the
line, and that now the friends of child
labor bill will not rest until the battle
is carried to an absolute finish.
He says the anti-Child labor advo-
Gates will go before the next legisla-
ture asking no quarter of the cotton
mill men and giving none.

Results Represent
Nothing Satisfactory.

ITO say that the results ~ the en-
forcement of the antitrust law against
the Standard Oil trust and the Tobacco
trust represent anything even moder-
ately satisfactory in the direction of
solving the trust question is too pre-
posterous to discuss
"One Of the most significant features
Of the present situation is the way in
which all the big trusts, all the Corpor-
alton lawyers representing big trusts,
and every public man who now repre-
sents or has represented the cause Of
reaction and privilege in public life,
should rally to the defense of the pres
ent administrations method of enforc-
ing the antitrust law and admiringly
approve of the position held by MI
Taft, Mr. Edmunds, Mr.. Rockefeller and
all other trust magnates and trust law
yers, that no further legislation is
needed.
Mr.. Edmunds proposal is in the In
terost OF every great corrupt organi2a-
tion and against the interest of every
honest business man. lie can not be
ignorant of the fact that the enforce
ment of the anti trust law by Messrs
Taft and Wickersham against the
Standard Oil and Tobacco trusts has
resulted in an enormous rise in the
value Of the stock held by Mr. Rookie
teller and his allies and the tobacco
people while the price Of the commodi-
ties TO the consumer has slightly gone
up and the competing concerns are left
