EHRLICH ATTACKS
THE TIPPINGS BILL
Savannahian Reports on Hotel COndi-
tiOns to L p. A.

Richmond, Va. June lathe tipping
evil, designated as that "hydro-headed,
cobra-hooded monster" by Chairman
Albert Ehrlich of Savannah, Ga, was
given a thorough gruelling in his
hotel committee report, read before
the convention of the Travellers Pro-
tective Association today. Mr.. Ehrlich
said legislation will never stop it. AS
a possible solution of the problem, he
recommended that the travelling men
nledge themselves to "desist from
their share of the practice"
Disastrous and startling increase in
the fire perils of the country, despite
the building of "freproof" structures,
was also an interesting point presenc-
ed.
That a hotel fire occurred every
thirty-three hours during 1912 was
the startling statement made in the
report. This condition Chairman Ehr-
Itch attributed to either lack of proper
legislation or to failure to enforce the
existing laws. Inspectors, adequate
exists and escapes and other essen
tials to safety from hotel fires are
needed in many places, he said.
The Nebraska state law governing
hotels was cited as the model in this
class of legislation, and the hotel COM
mittee chairman recommended that
the national board secure the laws OF
that state in this regard and furnish
every division with copy.
The report was referred to the prop
er committee.

Los ANGELES Chief
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Will Meet Next Year at Grand
Rapids, Mich.

Washington, D. c., June 13.-Woman
suffrage as means of lessening crime
was advocated here yesterday by c. f.
Sebastian, chief of police of Los An
geles, Cal, in an address before the
closing session of the annual conven-
tion of the International Association
of Police Chiefs. Chief 5epasr.sn de-
clared that through suffrage, recog-
nition of police-women in Los angeles
had been obtained and crime had been
materially reduced" Suffrage, he add
ed, had helped to break down the
false modesty which had prevented
public discussion of sex problems.
The chiefs chose Grand Rapids,
Mich. as their next meeting place and
reelected Major Richard Sylvester,
superintendent of police of Washing
ten, as president.
Secret telephone devices as means
of helping in the detection of crime,
were approved in resolution adopted
during the final session.
John Vucetich, chief of the Buenos
Ayres, Argentina, bureau of dactylos-
copic Identification, explained to the
convention his system of finger print
registration and a committee was
named to study and report on his COM
pared with other system.

Announcement was made here yes
,terday that Mrs. Mary Harris Armouc.
the best known temperance lecturer
in Georgia, will speak here at the Pres
byterian church next Thursday nighs.

the people of Americus to need fur

on numerous occasions hitherto, having
been connected with every prohibition
campaign waged in Georgia the past
few years.
Mrs. Armour will have, as usual, a
live message for those who hear he-

FIRST NATERMELONS ON
DISPLAY in AMERICUS
But They Came From Farther
South

Americus was offered abundant
proof yesterday of the pleasing fact
that winter had passed in the display
here of sundry real watermelons- =
positively the first-and numerous
baskets of peaches from orchards IN
the Americus territory. The melons
were grown further down the state
and, while small and of rather infer
ior quality, they nevertheless caught
the eye and the dime of the blacS
brother whose weakness for watermel-
ons is proverbial.
These early habingers of the melon
patch will be followed in due time by
the really excellent ones produced on
Sumter farms-the acme of perfection
in watermelons. 1t was a remarkable
coincidence, however, that the first
melons came on the day following the
June frost, as melons and frost are
widely divergent things.
The peaches now being brought to
market are not of the very best quail
ity, being of the early and less choice
varieties. However there will be
good peaches a few days hence--and
good watermelons, too.

INJURY TO
COTTON IS
NOT GREAT
ACCORDING TO FARMERS here
Sun viii Soon Repair the
Damage

"Sumter's cotton crop promising,
despite the appearance of frost on the
twelfth of June and the generally un-
favorable weather recently" said for
mer Commissioner of Agriculture T.
G.. Hudson yesterday. "One week OF
sunshine, such as this today, will pull.
the crop out of the kinks, while the
farmers will whip the grass fight now
being waged in the cotton fields"
Mr. Hudson has just returned from
a trip to Atlanta, and North Georgia,
and declares that crop conditions Ia
this section are far better than further
up the state, where recent heavy rains
wrought great injury to the cotton and
corn, and to the lands.
CAS- for the cold weather, it will do
little injury, and already the effect Of
it is disappearing" continued Mr.. Hud-
son. "I recall very well another cold
spell in June, twelve years ago, when
it was cold enough for overcoats to De
worn June 22nd We thought then
that the cotton crop would be ruined,
but it was not, and Sumter made plen-
ty of cotton"
It was the opinion of other farmers
here yesterday that a week of sun
shine would put the crop in good
growing condition. Mr. Edward Tim.
norman stated that in the vicinity of
Plains the crops were looking very
well, considering the unpropitioIs
weather of the past few days. Sunshine
is the great tonic that is needed now.
The rains this week have greatly
benefited the corn fields here and
put the crop in a condition for rapid
maturity. While probably not as
large as in other years, the corn crop
this year will be sufficient for all de-
mands upon it if conditions remain
favorable

BRINGS IN
NAME OF THE PRESIDENT

Washington, D. c., June 13.-Presi-
dent Wilson's name in connection with
white House influence" for the
tariff bill was brought before the
senate lobby investigating committee
again today by Senator Gallinger,
who declared the president had come
"perilously near lobbying" in some
of the things he had done in connec-
ton with the tariff bill Democratic
senators subjected him to a long
cross examination on the subject of
White House influence.
Senator Gallinger's statement
came as a profound sensation. He
was about to leave the stand when
Senator Reed asked final que5-
ton.
When a man says that he would
hang some one as high as Haman" J.;
that person didn't do certain things"
said Senator Gallinger, "and that an
industry which proposed reduction Of
wages and did so, would be investi-
gated | think that is about the very

son.

Would you regard it as species

From my own inability to define
the term to my own satisfaction, per-
haps | would not like to say it was

at was an intimation that men are
afraid to use their own judgment lest
the people suspect them of lobbying :
persisted Senator Nelson.

ator Gallinger.
You think then that members of
congress can be intimidated?" asked
Chairman Overman.
IL have no disposition to criticise
you officials for cheap partisan pur-
poses," returned Senator Gallinger.

came off next day, and while II was
tactically a defeat for the Ameri-

Sive victory for them. CORVALLIS
was so badly handled that he dared
not seek another fight. He did not
dare to march back TO South Caro-
lima, so, abandoning his wounded,
he headed for Wilmington, the
nearest seaport. But upon reach
ing Wilmington he found himself
in a quandary. To transport his
army by sea TO Charleston and be-
gin all his work over again would
be a confession of defeat, He could
not do that, so he resolved to march
into Virginia.
After following CORVALLIS for 80
or so miles, Greene turned back to
begin the work of redeeming South
Carolina, while CORVALLIS kept on
toward Yorktown, where he was
to end the struggle by surrendering
his sword to Washington.

Next, Bradley cut a hole through
the .parlor floor, and then one
through the bedroom floor, and
finally one through the roof itself.
The telescope stretched itself longer
as the holes we're made for it, un-
til at last its object end was on the
roof, and it's eye end in the cellar;
and never during the whole course
of this devastation did the Widow
Pounds sweet temper show any
variation.
Although she was compelled to
attend to her household affairs, her
mind was capable of rising above
them, and of judging the relative
values of things. She saw that the
inconvenience to which she was
put was absolutely nothing in COM
parison with the satisfaction she
would derive from seeing her en-
thusiastic nephew make a great
discovery by getting a long tele-
scope securely pointed at those
stars above the roof, of which he
was perpetually talking.
Mrs. Pounds confidence was well
placed, and one day she felt amply
rewarded when all Europe rang
with the news that James Bradley
had made one of the most signal
discoveries that any man ever did
that of the alteration of light.
in explaining what alteration of
light is we shall see why Bradley
treated his aunt's house so uncere-
moniously.
If you stand in rainstorm on a
MINDLESS day, you see the rain de-
scending in vertical lines, and your
hat brim protects your face. Now,
if you start to walk or run in any
direction, the raindrops strike you
in the face, because you meet them
sideways as they are falling, and
your motion is compounded with
theirs so that they appear to come
in slanting lines. The ratio of your

Without a single murmur, with

mitted her nephew, a young man
named James Bradley, to take pos
