BIENNIAL SESSIONS WILL
BE URGED ON LEGISLATURE

The old and oft-proposed legislative
reform, biennial sessions instead Of
annual sessions, will be advanced in
the Georgia General Assembly when
it meets this month for it's first sit
ting.
Despite the widespread sentiment in
favor of this innovation throughout
the State, it never yet has been able
to muster sufficient votes to put it
through. 1t requires a two thirds
vote of both Houses, of course, being
a constitutional amendment, and this
always has been the stumbling block
in the way.
This year, however, friends of this
reform believe they will be able to
consummate it, especially as it will be
coupled with other propositions likely
to make it more acceptable to the
Legislature.
Besides providing that the Legisla-
ture shall meet only once every two
years instead of annually, the pro-
posed bill will seek to raise the limit
of sitting from SO to so days, and to
put members on a fiat salary basis,
rather than on a per diem system Of
compensation.
The total two years salary of a
member C the Legislature as it now
is, is : l00-$4 per day for a total of
lOO Gays, covering TWO SltJlnSS. Be
sides this, the members draw 10 cents
per mile in each direction travelled
coming and going to the sessions.
BY making the salary of the mem
bers $500 er annum fiat, with mile
age alloy ances and extending the
session to 60 days, it is figured that
the State can save money, the mem
bers be more adequately compensated,
and the reform of biennial sessions
effected in circumstances genuinely
acceptable all around.
A bill to enact the changes stated
will be introduced early in the session
by member of the House from South
Georgia

TO COMPLETE INQUEST
ON DEATH OF PAINTER

JACKSONVILLE. FLA. June G.
The analysis of E. o. Painters vital
organs has been completed in Balti-
more and the report is expected to
reach the Barnett National Bank on
Saturday. 1t will come under seal
and be delivered by the bank jointly
to Coroner c. ID. Abbott and Judge G.
G. Hamlin, who was Painters attor-
ney for 50 years.
Coroner Abbott said to-day he
would not open the report or take it
from the bank until he had sum
moned the jury to complete the in
quest on Painters death
DIR. j. E. Boyd and DR.. p. G. Perry
the physicians who performed the
autopsy on Painters body and went
to Baltimore to remain through the
analysis, left Baltimore last night and
are due in Jacksonville tonight Dr.
Boyd is the Painter family physician
and he and DR. Perry have been act
ing in this case for the family.
The explanation offered by Judge
HamIin for the hasty autopsy was
that because of the large amount of
insurance carried by Painter. it was
considered essential, from a legal
standpoint, to have the exact cause

lie said they wanted this evidence
before an opportunity was offered any
underling of an insurance company
to drug" the body and plant" evil
dence to indicate suicide.
Cecil Wilcox, general agent of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, in
Jacksonville, wrote the 1902, 900 in
surance Painter took out with that
company this year. He is president
of the Childrens Home Society, Pain
ter's favOrite charity, of which he was
secretary. They had been intimately
associated in this work and Wilcox
looked upon Painter as a man of I'M
questioned integrity. He did not sus-
pect any plot in Painters seeking SO
much insurance. He was not aware
of all the other policies being taken
out.
Painters premiums on his mutual
policies would have cost about $780,
600 a year There was a 20 per cent
discount allowed, netting about $21,-
600 annually. Painter figured out to
WilcoX's satisfaction how ne could
carry this much insurance. With q
salary of $4,000 a year as president
of the Il. o. Painter Fertilizer Com
pany and $4,000 a year income from
100 shares of the fertilizer stock,
there was left q margin of $4,000 an
nually for living expenses above the
$21 900 premiums.
But before the Mutual wrote these
policies an inspector and a medical
examiner were sent to Jacksonville
from the COmpany's home office and
they made the Investigations and eX-
animation that satisfied them.

RAISES LESS FEEDsTUFFs.

That Georgia is each year raising
less feedStuff for domestic animals
than it consumes and becoming more
dependent on other parts of the coun-
try. is shown by reports of the state
Agricultural Department. At the
present rate at which feedstutf
stamps are being sold, more than TO-
600 tons of feed will be shipped into
Georgia from outside States than was
received last year.
Stamp sales from January / to May
81, 1913, amounted to $17,392.OS,
against 81 ,331S0 for the same period
of 1912. The total stamp sales for
1912 were $26,55020 At this rate the
total for 1913 will amount to S40,-
621.S0, an increase of $14,071.60
Stamps are placed on concentrated
commercial feedstuffs shipped into
the State. The present rate of in
crease will make the increase more
than 10000 tons for this year.
Practically all of this feedstuff
could be raised in Georgia" said ]. j.
Brown, Assistant Commissioner of
Agriculture. The increase over last
year will be more than 10000 tons.
This is regrettable and the farmers of
Georgia should busy themselves.
There is no reason why all of this
feedStuff should not be raised in this
State; and there is no doubt about the
farmer being able to dispose of every
bit which he raises. 1t would take
many years for Georgia to raise crops
equal to the demand right here at
home"

POET SAYS WIFE REFUSED

Haven, Conn, on the mutual agree
ment-according to Mr.. Susman-that
they dwelt in the gentle distant re-

ing a novel to-day concerning his
unique matrimonial venture.
In a remarkable letter to friends
in this city the poet has given, under
his own hand, a detailed statement
of his unprecedented marriage
In his letter he says he met Mrs.
Coe in Newport. She had received
$250,000 from her late husband. He
writes as follows:
Although Mrs. Coe was then 81
(She is now $50 and l was %, she
impressed me as being a gentle and
kindly old lady. She was consider
ably older than my mother had snow
white hair and wore spectacles."
He visited her in New Haven, and
says she finally urged him to make
his permanent home with her. AT
first she was going to adopt him, but
they agreed marriage would be bet
ter. so they were welded in City Hall,
New York on November s. The let
ter continues:
"She showed me the new will she
had had her lawyer draw up leaving
me $4,000, her house and furniture
and fine jewelry. But at the same
time she put such an unusual con-
structiOn upon the latent maternal
instinct that l felt impelled to leave
her.

NEWS OF FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1913
WILSON PUTS JAP PROTEST
UP TO HIS OWN CABINET

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Fresh
from his conference with Ambassador
Chinda, who placed before him in the
clearest possible manner Japan's rea-
sons for protesting against the Cali
fornia alien land law, President Will
son to-day put the matter up to his
Cabinet.
Secretary of State Bryan was the
first of the Presidents official family
to reach the White House He ar
rived at 10 o'clock and was closeted
with the Chief Executive for half an
hour before being Joined by Attorney
General McReynoldS. The two Cabi-
net officers then went over the diplo-
matte and judicial phases of the ques-
ton with the President before the re-
mainder of the Cabinet made their
appearance.
Only one thing was decided def
nitely tO-day-to leave the drafting OF
the second American reply, which
probably will be filed within a fort
night, in the hands of John Bassett
Moore, counselor of the State De-
partment and official mOuthpiece OF
the administration in all matters in
vOlving complex questions of interna-
tiOnal law.
Because the Secretary of State had
planned to take an early train for
PittSburg, where he will attend
banquet in honor of Ambassador
Guthrie, who will soon leave to take
up his duties in Toxic, tO-day's dis
cussion of the Japanese problem was
elementary.
1t is expected the American reply
will be drafted next week and will be
ready for submission to the Cabinet
June II.
Ambassador Guthrie will be asked
to pass judgment on the note before
it is sent to Toxic, and it is probable
that the advice of Lars Anderson, re-
cent Ambassador to Japan, also will
be requested.

Rich SENATOR TEsTIEIEs.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-SenatOr
Oliver, of Pennsylvania, testified at
the lobby investigation to-day that he
had holdings representing about $5,-
100000 which would be affected by the

of this sum were represented by
Pittsburg newspaper stock. The rest
is in coal mines. Next to Uncle Ike"
Stephenson, of Wisconsin. oliver is
the richest Senator.
Oliver said that a number of men
had called on him in regard to
tariff matters, but there was nothing
improper in the interviews.
The witness did not know of any
money being used either directly or
indirectly to influence legislation.
Senator Walsh, a member of the
investigating committee, showed a
disposition to pry further into divers
wealth.
Have you any further holdings af-
fected by the tariff bill which have
not been mentioned" inquired Walsh
"Mr Chairman" responded oliver,
Il object to having my personal af-
fairs pried into by this committee,
and believe this investigation should
be confined strictly to the subjects
outlined by the resolution under
which it was authorized"
Il think you are dead right" ex-
claimed Senator Knute Nelson.
Oliver went on to explain that he had
holdings other than those mentioned
among them copper property in Mich
igan.
