IN the meantime the legislative in
vestigating committee meets for or
ganization purposes in the Capitol
to- day.
There are signs that a spirit of re-
sentiment already is more or less ram
pant within that body, and some ex-
ceedingly lively proceedings are an
ticipated.
If the legislative committee and
the State Board of Education get at
cross purposes in the very beginning
of the adjustment of the schoolbook
question there is hardly a doubt that
by the time the Legislature meets
next summer a hot time will have
been mapped out for that body's con-
sideration and attention.
Conflict With Legislature.
Those who opposed the action of
the State board-Governor Slaton and
Superintendent Brittain-did so upon
the grounds that it would be unwise
and unseemly to take any action that
might be construed as a slap at the
Legislature, and that the wise thing
to do would be to extend the present
contracts until after the Legislature
had concluded its investigation-at
which time the contracts, If the Leg
stature thought At, might be abro-
gated. and new contracts made.
This, so they argued, would work to
best interests of the people, In that II
would save them money by warding
of possible unnecessary changes O,
books not to be made permanent and
thus avoid confusion in many direc-
items
Those who voted for the motion
that prevailed, howeVer-Dr. Glenn.
Professors Moon and Woofter and Mr.,
Steed-did so upon the theory that
there are some textbooks that should
be Immediately changed, and that it
would be unwise and unpatriotic to
put off such change. They declined,
moreover to see anything Ike a Sian
at the General Assembly in the ac-
ton taken.
The State Board has set October .25
as the day upon which new bids will
be received. contemplating a five
year contract, subject to the cancel
lation right of the State, as stated.
High School Books.
The matter of high school books
and the boards right to provide a
uniform use of the same, was put up
to the Attorney General, to be acted
upon later, as also was the question
of the boards right to make selec-
lions without submitting the same to
subcommittee of educators for ap-
prevail
Representative McCrory Of the
legislative committee, appeared be-
fore the State Board to talk about
State publication Of books. his pet
hobby, but he did not speak at length,
the board desiring him to reduce his
arguments to writing.
There are those who see in the
present book muddla evidences of
some big politics and political maneu-
vering. The relation of the State
School Board to the State admins
tration long has been a subject of
comment and criticism in Georgia,
there being two sharply differentiat-
ed schools of thought with respect to
the same,
So far, the arguments have been
confined rather cleveriy to apparent
patriotic purposes entirely. but the
politics of the row likely will break
out from under the lid sooner or
later, and the entire schoolbook mess
may be dumped upon the Legislature
eventually for a thorough ventila-

Slavery Accusation Against Contractor Who

Three important witnesses have

against j. L. Denton, the contractor,
when he appeared before Judge
Broyles Saturday afternoon to answer
the charge of KIDNAPPING Eunice
Dease, Is years old, and Elsie Elliot,
Is whom he accompanied to Birming
ham a week ago.
Two of the witnesses are ]. c. Carr,
As Mills street, and L. A Moon. a
barber for whom the girls are said
to have deserted Denton after their
arrival in Birmingham.
Carr, on Friday morning, told Chief
of Detectives Lanford he and Moon
were on the train with Denton and
the young women and later followed
them.
Carr said he had seen Denton buy
a long skirt for the Dease girl When
the girls deserted the contractor Carr
declared, Denton approached him in
the depot and asked him to refund
the money he had put up for the
tickets Carr said he refused to DO
this and that Denton then sold the
girls return tickets.

A third witness, Dewitt Mum, also
of IS Mills street, told Chief Lanford
he purchased the tickets used by Carr
and Moon, and had seen Denton get
three tickets at the time.
The probability of prosecution un-

tually was dissipated Friday when the
two young women underwent a
searching questioning by L. J. Bailey,
of the Bureau of Investigation, De-
partment of Justice.
Following the examination, Mr.

At their destination, however, Den

Government action. He stated that

WILSON WILL SIGN
 CIVIL SUNDAY ACT
Labor Unions and Farmers or qanizations Will be Free Of
 the Law.

Washington, D. G., June 2l.-- resident Wilson has stated that in the event of the passage by congress of the civil sundry Dill with it's rider preventing the De- partment of Justice from using any funds appropriated for the purpose of prosecuting labor or ganizations or farmers assocla- tions which violate the Sherman antitrust law, he will sign the bill.
 The bill was vetoed the last day of the session of the last con- eress by former President Taft, who objected to rider being add ed to an appropriation bill, and also because he insisted that 1t was class legislation and should notbe tolerated.
 No law can be passed making it a crime for one class of per- sons to do a certain act and all lowing another to do it. without punishment, so the members of congress added a rider to the ap- propriation bill, taking from the Department of Justice the money necessary for prosecution, thus exempting farmers and labor un- ions which violate the law, from punishment.
 If the bill is passed unions o1 farmers and laborers may com bine in violation of the law anC agree to sell their labor at cer- tain prices or their produce at a given rate and will not be pros ecuted by the Department of Jus tice, but the corporation which makes an agreement to maintain high prices must be prosecuted.

Chicago, June 21.--The build ings trades employers have or ganized and are determined to crush the unions by a tremendous lockout involving 20,O00 men.
 The employers have contracts for construction work which to- tai S3O,O00,OOO and all work on the buildings will be halted until a settlement of the strike is eff fected.
 The employers claim that as soon as a contractor is bound by contract to complete a building in a specified time the men de- mand higher wages or go out and he is compelled to pay a large forfeit, while on the other hand the men claim the big contract ors have been keeping wages down and have refused to give steady employment to the men, but divide the work so that none of them make a living.
 The men have appealed to the public for moral and financial as sistance.

Good Farmers Coming.

Congratulations are due the state of Michigan on account of
 the considerable flow of Dutch Immigration that has been com- ing in of late. Only a few days ago a party of 200 Dutch farm CTS arrived. These Dutch imml- grants are practical farmers,
 who, having sold their farms in
 Holland, have come to America to apply to the soil here the same intelligence and careful methods
 of cultivation and thrift which enabled them to succeed in their
 home land. That they will suc-
 ceed goes without saying. They fare careful, shrewd, industrious
 and domestic in their habits.
 They are scientific farmers and
 are always preserving the pro-
 ductive power of their land. Much
 can be learned from the Dutch
 farmers, therefore when any con-
 siderable number of them settle
 in any one state, that state Is
 fortunate.

Nome, June 2i.--A monster mass meeting was held last night at city hall to protest against the recent mining law passed by the territorial legislature.

 The effect of the law, Says the dispatch from the Nugget, will be to kill dredging on the Sew ard peninsula and in other di- visions of Alaska.
 Petitions to congress request ing the repeal of the act have been circulated in this division.
 The telegram winds up with g. request that the people of this division get busy and help the Nome operators to impress on congress the terrible wrong be- ing done by the new law.
