CHILLY DRIZZLE TO
CONTINUE; w HOLE
SOUTHRAIN- SOAKED

mo relief is in sight" says the wealth
err man. THE cold, misty drizzie which
has hung over the city for the past few
days is still coming and the weather
will get colder with the falling rain.
1t is the first cold snap of the autumn
season, and while not really cold enough
to be noticed during the winter, it is
making its presence felt after the hot
days of August and early September.
All through the South the same con-
ditions prevail, and more or less heavy
rains have fallen from Knoxville to Mo-
bile In the Gulf coast cities wind
storm, which became gale, blew for
many hours early today, but it did not
serve to drive any moisture away from
this section.

No CARS RUNNING
ON AUGUSTA LINE

AUGUSTA, GA, Sept. 24.-Not a
wheel has turned on the city lines or
the Aiken division Of the Augusta
Aiken electric railway system since II
O'Clock yesterday morning, when con-
ductors and motormen went on strike,
but it is expected that an attempt will
be made to operate cars today. Strike
breakers will be used and a carload of
them are said to be here this morning.
Trouble win likely occur when an at
tempt is made to operate the cars by
outside help Mayor Barrett has prom
Used the company protection.
There is absolutely no chance for
any of the Aiken cars 10 rum for Gov
ernor Cole l.. Blease will give no pro-
lection and the line passes through a
South Carolina cotton mill district be-
tween here and Aiken where all Of the
sympathy Is with the men.
Sentiment here is divided but All
agree that it will be a duel to the finish
between the strikers and the company.
Ties Up 40 Miles of Road.
The strike has tied up about 40 miles
OF trolley lines The Aikcn-Augusta
road, 20 miles long runs through North
Augusta, Bath, Langley and Granite
Vile, 5. g.. to Aiken. These are all
cotton mill towns. The Summerville
and Monte Sano loop, Turpin Hill.
Lakeview and other city lines have
about 20 miles of trackage and cover
all the city and suburban territory on
the Georgia side Of the river The
street railway system employs about
400 men, Including car crews, electri-
clans linemen and construction men
The conductors and motormen have
been organized for some time in a local
union, which, they claim, is under the
domination Of the management of the
company. The strike is the result of
the refusal of the company to permit
its men to affiliate with the national
organization Of street railway en-
ployees.

Can See Any Chance
For Serious Clash.

Il do not see how any serious COM
plications with Great Britain can grow
out of the Panama canal bill as it final
ly passed. The original bill as it came
from the house was largely the crea-
ton of Congressman Adamson, of our
own state, and he is entitled to great
credit for his admirable work upon this
measure.
THE bill requires all vessels engaged
in foreign trade, whether American
owned or owned by citizens of other
countries. to pay tolls for passing
through the canal. 1t only permits
United States coastwise vessels to pass
through the canal free. Conceding that
our treaty with Great Britain and with
other countries required the same treat
ment to citizens of other countries
which is accorded to citizens of the
United States owning vessels passing
through the canal, l consider that the
bill meets the requirements of our
treaties
The coastwise trade of the United
states is limited to vessels made in the
United States and owned by citizens Of
the United States. In this respect the
policv of the United States does not
differ from that Of nearly all other
countries Coastwise trade is usually
regarded as a domestic proposition
from which citizens of foreign Coun-
tries owning vessels are excluded.
The supreme court of the United
States in case known as the Gal
weston pilotage case, held that pilotage
rules extending special privileges to
coastwise vessels did not conflict with
the treaty Of the United States with
Great Britain, which required the same
treatment extended to citizens of Great
Britain and of the United States own
ing vessels and entering American har-
bors. The reason of the decision is that
such a treaty provision would not be
applicable to coastwise vessels, as citi-
zens of Great Britain could not own
coastwise vessels, and. therefore, spe-
cial privileges to coastwise vessels
created no discrimination against citi-
zens of Great Britain.
There are many valuable features
in the act which was passed providing
for the control of the Panama canal.
"One provision excludes any trans
continental railroad in the United
States from owning vessel which
passes through the canal, This pro-
vision win help to maintain competi-
ton between water and rail routes and
should be most beneficial to our inter-
state commerce.
Another provision forbids any rail-
road company in the United States
from owning vessels engaged in trans
portation on water competing with the
line Of the railroad company
Another provision permits an Amer
lean citizen to buy anywhere in the
world vessel and operate it under the
American flag in foreign commerce
Another admits free of duty every
thing used by United States ship build
ers for the manufacture Of vessels to
be used in coastwise trade. or other
wise.
These provisions will be great step
forward toward the establishment Of a
merchant marine floating the Stars and
Stripes"

Had Asked Home to
Take Her Girls.

Mrs Reed told a reporter that her
daughters received $12 a week each as
chorus girls and were provided an es-
cort from the theater to their homes
every night But f. H. Peacock, agent
of the Harriet Hawkes. Industrial Home
for Girls, not yet completed. testified
that Mrs. Reed had asked him some
time ago to take charge of her two
daughters and place them in the home.
He did not look upon the theater COM
pany as a desirable substitute for the
home and regretted that the institution
was not yet open. He said Rev. j. l..
Bostwick father of Vessie, had also
asked him to look after his daughter.
The GeOrgian's story yesterday of
the cheap theatrical companies and the
ends to which many of them lead at
tracted wide attention Several per-
sons stated that they had seen young
girls from these places driving away in
cabs and automobiles with young men
after the shows.

Bass island seventeen years ago, and
who had not been heard from in that

Bretz was divorced from his wife be-
fore he left. Two sons brought suit to
recover certain valuable property which
their father once had held and which
their sisters had decided away.
1t was argued that Bretz was dead
and, therefore, the property should re
