BIC INCREASE IN
WHEAT EXPORTS

WASHINGTON u. c.. Nov 9G-Whcat OK
,orts from the United States in 1872,
will materially exceed those of recent
ears The record of the 10 months now
,vailable in the statistical division of the
,ureau of foreign and domestic commerce
indicates that the wheat exports of the
mll year will exceed 100 million bushels.
against 80 million in 1911 and GO million i'm
glo The total for the 10 months ended
With October is Cit million bushels.
against e. 81 million in the correspondents
months of last year. This increase oc-
urrcd chiefly in the new crop, the
september exports having been Il million
1ushes' against 10 81 million in Septcm-
Der of last year, and those of October
20 million bushels, against \ 81 million
in October of last year the total for the
two months of September and OCTOBER
thus being 81 million bushels, against
70 i-2 million in the sam" months of 1911.
Only about one fourth of the wheat
exported in October. 1912. went IN the
form Of flour, while nearly two-thirds
Of that exported in October of last
year had been transformed into flour
before expectation. This contrast in
the proportion of the wheat which
was turned into -four before exporta-
tion Is characteristic of the wheat
export trade of the United states. In
those months or years in which the
wheat export trade is heavy the pro-
portion which is turned into flour be-
fore expectation is small; in those
months or years in which the exporta
ton is light the share which is turned
into -four before expectation is large.
In the fiscal year 1911. when only 90
million bushels of wheat were export
ed. GO per cent thereof was In the
form of flour; while in 1908. when the
wheat exports aggregated 163 million
bushels. the share sent in the form
Of flour was but IS per cent
While the wheat exports Of 1912 will
show larger totals than in Immediately
preceding years, those of corn and
ments show a decline. Figures compiled
by the statistical division of bureau Of
foreign and domestic commerce indicate
that the exports of corn in 1912 will be
but about one-half those of 1911, the
total for the 10 months ended with Octo-
Der being &c million bushels. against 531s
million in the same months of last year.
Meat exports also show a marked de-
cline In 1912 compared With 1911 The
quantity of fresh beef exported in the
10 months ended with October was less
than eight million pounds. against ~ mil

ROAD FIGHTS TAX
ON LEASED LINES
Injunction Suit Involving More
Than 100000 State Reve-
nue. Heard in U. S. Court.

The first hearing on an injunction
which involves more than 100000 in
back taxes was begun in the Federal
court before Judge W. T. Newman this
morning and will commune for at least
two days
The Central of Georgia railway Is the
petitioner in the injunction while the
state Of Georgia and a number Of south
Georgia counties are opposing It. The
litigation is q result of the Central Of
Georgia obtaining perpetual leases on
the Augusta and Savannah railroad
and on the Southwestern Railroad Com
pany which formerly Sere independent
corporations.
The injunction, as brought before TIE
Federal court, Will cause the court to
pass upon a point never before decid<a
by any court OF law, the question o.
whether or not an exemption from taxes
is a personal equity. When the char
tiers of the two small roads were grant
ed by the state 1t was provided that
neither should ever pay taxes on any
thing except the income. The char
tiers were granted shortly after the Civil
war.
Seven years ago the Central Of Geor-
gia leased the two roads. Last year the
comptroller general of the state issued
fl. fas. for a years full taxes against
each of the two declaring that when
the Central obtained a perpetual lease
lease on them that the personal ex-
emption ended. The roads filed an in
junction in the United States court and
the first hearing began this morning.
Attorney General Fielder is appearing
for the state, being assisted by Judge
John c. Hart, who also represents
number Of counties, and by Judge Sib-
ley. The railroad is represented by
Lawton & Cunningham, of Savannah,
and Powell & Little, of Atlanta.

days, District Attorney Whitman be-
lieves the state can finish in three days.
All of the defendants, through their
counsel announced they would take the
stand
In addition to the witnesses used in
the Becker trial, it is understood that
the district attorney has some new ones.
He said today of his witnesses whose
veracity had been attacked:
IF they can prove that any witt
nesses for the people are testifying
falsely, l hope 1t will be done l DON'T
want the peoples case to benefit by
perjury, but at the same time 1 am
bound to use the evidence offered. 1t
will be very satisfactory to me if the
witnesses are allowed all the leeway
proper in testifying, because l hope
much interesting evidence may be re-
vealed at this trial"

such a crime, while they point to the

ARM|STEAD SAYS
F OES FALS|F| led
Declares Enemies of Cosmo-
politan Life Misrepresented
Facts, Causing Action.

Outrageous misrepresentation of the
facts in the case was declared today by
Joel F. Armistead to be the cause of
Comptroller General Wright's recon-
mendation that the state take over the
administration of the affairs of the
Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Company.
He asserts that the comptroller acted
on the best of motives, but that he had
listened to a flagrantly false represen-
tation Of the case.
Mr. Armistead said:
LAS the company and myself prompt
ly and willingly have removed the only
objection which the insurance depart
ment ever has urged against the Cos
mopolitan, the present proceedings are
regarded as being entirely unnecessary
Aside from the contract, there has
never been anything whatever in the
condition of the company or its man
agement which justified intervention
from any source.
The Cosmopolitan Is not insolvent
and no one can truthfully make the
assertion that it is. The Cosmopolitan
has something over S1,000,000 of quick
assets that can be converted into ca sh
in few hours. Applications for in
surance aggregating over $4,000 900
have been received by the company
/ since it began business, and about
$2,250.000 has been accepted and is now
on the books of the company. The
affairs of the company are being eco
nomically administered in the utmost
good faith.
BIames Foes of Company"
Il believe the action OF General
Wright in intervening was actuated by
the best OF motives, but both the off,
GERS of the Cosmopolitan and myself
are equally confident that his action is
predicated upon Misrepresentation of
facts of the most outrageous character,
the source of which are the same peo-
pie who have so diligently and persist
emily endeavored to wreck the COM
pany.
Should this action of the insurance
commissioner or the one of Sudderth
and his allies succeed, lrretrievable and
inexcusable wrong will result not only
to the body of Cosmopolitan stockhold-
CT ., bul 10 Nle HOiuFIS VI lnt securities
of every other Southern life and fire
insurance institution. The fight is be-
ing made 10 preserve not only the in
tegrity of the Cosmopolitan, but in a
measure TO preserve every other home
institution of a fiduciary character.
The insurance act of 1912, if obeyed
strictly, prohibits the formation of any
new insurance Organization in Georgia
and leaves the field for life insurance In
this state open only to such Southern
companies as those already organized
There is absolutely no reason for the
dissolution of the Cosmopolitan. It can
be, and 1t will be, if freed from persecu-
ton, a superb success"

'DRYS' NAP WAR
ON LOCKERCLUBS
Anti Saloon Leader Says Near
Beer Will Be Banned by
Next Legislature.

More bumps are scheduled for At
lanta's locker clubs.
The Anti Saloon league has its eagle
eye trained on these various social
combines" and will closely scrutiuize
their conduct during the next few
weeks. And If the clubs fail to walk
the "chalk line"-in other words. if
they don't comply strictly with the
terms Of the state prohibition law
there's going to be q mighty effort to
touch off destructive explosive.
That the Anti Saloon league is right
on the job and already has a definite
plan OF warfare against the clubs map
ped out was indicated by j. B. Rich
ards, the secretary and one Of the most
active workers In the league in the
South, in a talk last night at the Jones
Avenue Baptist church on the prohi
bition situation.
Watch Clubs Closely.
Were watching these clubs closely
to ascertain whether they intend to con-
form to the state prohibition law" said
Mr.. Richards. "Of course, we have no
idea that they will--they haven't done
so in the past-and it is highly possible
that they may be closed, or else the
present liquor feature extracted from
them, by the first Of January.
"The prohibition law provides that
each member Of the club must drink
from his own private stock of liquor in
his own private locker and we want
this law enforced" he said. 1--WE want
to eliminate these regular borrooms.
And when this is done, we won't have
so many clubs In Atlanta"
Mr.. Richards went no further into de-
tails as to the plans of the league, but
his remarks indicated that a systemat-
ic and persistent fight will be prose-
cuted and that without much delay.
Sees Passage of AntI-5eer Law.
As to the Tippins bill, prohibiting the
sale of near-b beer in Georgia, and which
failed of passage at the last session Of
the legislature, Mr. Richards declared
this bill will be passed by an over
whelming majority at the coming ses-
sion next summer.
1--WE already have enough votes pledg-
ed TO insure the passage Of this meas
ure-the fate of near-beer in Geogia is
sealed" he asserted.
"And Governor Slaton will sign the
bill, too There's no fear as to that"
he added.
Mr. Richards warned all church peo-
pie of the city against apathy declar-
ing this to be the only danger that con
fronts the success OF prohibition in
Georgia
