URGE VOTERS To
END J.P. COURTS
Members of Bar Association
Appeal for Adjustment of
Minor Tribunals.

The Atlanta bar today issued an an
peal to the voters Of Georgia. urging
reasons why the amendment to abolish
the present justice courts system in
large cities should be ratified at the
polls tomorrow. Here 1t is
The most important measure befora
the voters of Georgia tomorrow is the
ratification of the justice court amend
ment The candidates for state offices
have been determined. Their election
is mere Formally. But the system OF
courts for the larger cities to be de-
cided upon tomorrow will be that up-
DIRE which the people of those cities will
be governed for the next decade.
IF the voters are Indifferent. or If
they are satisfied with present condi-
tons, and if they fail by their votes to
rattfy the constitutional amendment
giving the Legislature the right to es-
tablish other courts in lieu of Justice
courts in the large cities. then the peo-
pie for the next ten years may count
upon continuation OF the gross abuses
which have been condemned by almost
every element OF our civic body.
Would End Many Evils.
But If, as we believe the people are
dissatisfied with the present system
and if they register that dissatisfsc
ton at the polls by ratification OF
this amendment then we can count
upon the establishment by the legisIa-
ture of a system of municipal courts
in such of the large cities as desire the
same, particularly In Atlanta. that will
wipe out most of the evils, put the
judges and constable on a salary ba-
sis, guarantee speedier trials and the
administration OF justice to all--that
justice which is now denied to rich
and poor alike under the present syx-
tenn of eXtortion and corruption.
Therefore, we ask you to 90 to the
polls and vote for the ratification of
this amendment. Let us take a step
forward and wipe out rather than per
petuate an iniquitous system. The
smaller towns are with us because thev
are neither afflicted by the disease nor
affected by our remedy. Remember
that this amendment is Endorsed by the
Georgia Federation Of Labor. Atlanta

Montenegro and Greece allied TO one
side against Turkey on the oeher. The

iractuaI warfare does not result.
The military movements in southern
Austria and Poland are in anticipation
Of an eyentuality involving the great
mowers. Both the Austro- Hungarian
and Russian governments are converg-
ing great masses Of troops near the
southern frontiers in proximity to the
Balkan border.
Reports received by the continental
governments today from their diplo-
matte representatives in ConstantinOple
and IN the capitols Of European Turkey
construed the situation as critical. An
actual declaration of war. however, is
n.- expected before the expiration of a
fortnight il ii comes at all. All the
European chancellories are working to
avert an outbreak Of hostilities.
The European bourses today reflected
the feverishness and tenseness of the
situation. Securities We're heavily de
pressed.

the war volcano of the Balkans is near
er to actual eruption than it has been
for years.
The great powers of Europe, in this
instance the International police, are
making every effort to avert an out
break of hostilities. In the capitals Of
the Balkan states, however, the efforts
are not being met with a receptive
spirit
Dispatches from Athens state that
Greece is sunmoning her war strength
by land and sea. All the battleships of
the Greek navy have been summoned
for "maneuvers.
All the officers Of the Greek army
