HERR|CK DECLARES
SULZER IS NOT At
ODDS WITH COUNSEL
Chief of Staff Brands Ru-
NOR That Attorneys Will
Leave the Governor
as False

Albany. n. Y, October s.-Rumors
that Governor Sulzer and his counsel
were at the parting of the ways were
denied emphatically tonight by d. cady
Herrick chief of staff. Herrick brc2e
his silence" only after a story had
gone broadcast that several of the at
torneys would Withdraw from the case
Monday.
There is not a word of truth in the
Stories" Herrick said. He may be hay
ing trouble with other attorneys with
whom he is reported to have consulted
but not with those who have appeared
in court for him. We will be on hand
Monday and in so far as ] know, every
other day until the trial ends"
Herrick also denied that counsel and
the governor are at loggerheads over
the story Sulzer insists he will tell from
the witness stand. 1t was reported that
the governors plan of throwing down
the bars and laying bare mis- whole
political career was distasteful to his
attorneys.
Want the Truth
I'VE want only one thing-the
truth" Herrick said
That the governors counsel is none
too well pleased with his consulting
attorneys other than those appearing
at the counsel table is weell known.
but he has permitted the latter to have
their way on all points of great i'm
port and so no serious break is ex-
pected.
This was a quiet day for both the
governor and his lawyers Sulzer went
motoring and rested while Attorneys
Hinman and Herrick went into seclu-
sion to map out their case. Hinman
worked all day on his opening address
but did not finish 1t.
How long it will require the de-
fense to complete its case not even
Judge Herrick is willing to guess Much
depends on how far the presiding Judge
permits the governor to go with his
starry If he tells it in full, as he would
prefer to do, he may be on the stand
two days. Also If he tells everything"
as he expresses it, the cross examina-
tion will be lengthy. Subpoenaes have
been issued for so witnesses for the de-
fense and If all of them are called the
governors side of the case will not be
completed during the next court week
Rebuttal testimony and the final argu-
ment will require several more days

NOW UNDER CONSIDERATION
Would Be An Enjoyable Trip

The Americus Light Infantry may

the Inauguration of President Wilson
on March 4th, should the company de-
eide to go to Washington with othar
commands of the Second regiment
which will leave Macon by a special
train over the Central railway on
March 2nd.
The soldier boys had the subject
under consideration yesterday, and the
attractive terms upon whicB the trip
can be made, to say nothing of the at

company to march upon Washingt ou.
The Light Infantry is offered the
rate of $3.50, Americas to Washing

of "a for the trip, or a total of only
$3.50 for transportation. In Wash

per right The trip could be made
on S15 each.
The Light Infantry has participated
in many prominent functions but never

COMPOSITION
LIKELY FOR
WARLICk CASE
HEARING WAS COMPLETED
Report TO Be Submitted to
Judge SpGGF

That the settlement of forty cents
on the dollar to the creditors of the
Warlick Brothers Company, which the
concern recently offered to its cred
itors before a trustee in bankruptcy
was appointed, is very likely now since
the hearing here has been completed.
1t was understood yesterday that
when the matter came up for disposi-
ton that probably a majority of the
creditors voted for composition. This
will not be determined upon in its
legal status, however, until later. The
report of the hearing here, conducted
before Referee Hollis Fort. is to be
submitted to Judge Speer in Macon,
before any further action can be taken
in the matter.
In this particular it has been point
ed out that though the creditors may
agree on composition, no money can
be paid to them by the trustee until
Judge Speer issues an order to that ef-
feet. This he will not do before he
examines the stenographic report IF
the preliminary hearing conducted here
which will be forwarded to him soon.
The hearing came to an end yester-
day, after all the principal witnesses
in the matter had been heard. Judge
Speer's opinion on the report will be
the next development in the proceed
ings.

ARE TO VOTE FOR ISSUE OF
BONDS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Election For That Purpose viii Be Held Here Next Tues
day-NGGd Of Bonds For This Purpose is Impera-
tive Sentiment Appears Strongly in Favor Of Issue

Tuesday the voters of Americas will
turn out in force to vote on the mat
ter of whether the city will issue bonds
for the purpose of lettering the pub
lie school system and of paying for
additional sewer improvements that
have been made. The issue for the
schools is placed at $4,000, while that
for the sewer Improvements is $4,000.
making total of $4,000.
The ballots are prepared so that a
voter may vote either for one or both
O; these issues, as, of course, he may
vote for neither. The ballot forms
h+ve been published time and again
in The Times Recorder at each time the
rc tice of the bond election occurred.
For this reason the form should ha
familiar to all. If it is not SO, It
should be consulted.
In the election notice there is given
slso the conditions of the disposition
of the bonds. They are to be used for
the specific purposes named and for
no other. A reading of the election
notice will show that the money that
nay be secured by the issuance of tke
bonds cannot be used for any other
purpose. Voters need have no doub
in this. particular.
Sentiment here as we'll as it may be
gagged is strongly in favor of the
bond issues. The need of these inn-.
pr vements is so manifest that the
VI cters will hardly fail to give shs
city this much money for use in suc1
Wcrthy causes.

MUST MAKE
GOOD ON The
BALL FUND
Meeting MONDAY AFTERNOON
To Make the Final ARRANGE
TnentS

Americus baseball enthusiasts are
expected to take such definite action
this week as will insure the permanent
organization of the local association,
the raising of the remainder of the
fund required to insure admission TO
the league, and general outlining of
preparatory work, prior to the opening
of the season. While considerable en-
thusiasm has been manifested here re-
Gently and good subscription secur-
ed already, the fund still lacks a
pat, which must be in hand witolI
the next few days.
A local organization must be effect
ed, and officers elected for the man
agement of the home team in the En-
pire State league. Affairs must now
assume definite shape, as it is essential
that much preliminary work be done
without delay. 1t is time now to talk
less and get to business.
The matter of securing the park for
the next season is still open; it will
require time in which to erect a
grandstand and bleachers; to put the
grounds in condition, to say nothing
of the selection and organization Of
players upon the team
Other towns in the new league have
been busy for some time with mat
ters Of this kind, and several have Sc
lected team managers, and even some
of the players. Americus fans must
get busy likewise if the local team IS
to be permanent winner, as all here
will surely want it to be.
A meeting of subscribers to the stock
and all interested in league ball, will
be held Monday afternoon at o'clock
at the city hall Let every fan who
wants to see the team a success at
tend this meeting to morrow and start
the ball rolling.

CLASS DAYS
POPULAR At
HIGH SCHOOL
SENIOR CLASSES ON FRIDAY
The OthGr. Glasses viii Have
Days Also

Students at the High School had 4
pleasant diversion from the regular
routine of work Friday afternoon when
they participated in senior exercises
This is a new plan of varying the eX-
ercises for Friday afternoons at the
High School, and each of the classes
is to have day for its exercises.
Next Friday the Junior class will
have it's day, following which will
come the Sophomore and Freshman
class days, in order. The exercises on
Friday afternoon consisted of debate,
the subject of which was, Resolved,
That women should be eligible to pub
lie Office in Georgia" This was in
the nature of an impromptu argument,
but the students acquitted themselves
admirably In addition there were re-
citations, essays and stories.
This method of spending the after
noon on Fridays at the High School
should prove pleasing to the students,
as 1t affords each class an opportunity
to participate in the exercises and also
gives variety that is excellent.

Florida possesses many attractions
and it is a great place in which 20

son. 1--WE carried along our overcoats,
but found the people there in straw
hats and summer attire, playing lawn
tennis and going fishing and surf bath
ing.
Strawberries, Mr., Dodson said, as
well as all varieties of vegetables, were
plentiful, while the weather was the
same as we have in Americus in

DEBATE FOR

This Spring
PROBABLY EARLY IN APRIL
The Subjects and Sides Have
Been Assigned

Arrangements for the debate to be
held between the local High School

now, and most of the plans have al.
ready been completed for this inter-
school debate. 1t will probably take
place early in April, and it will be

the negative side of the question which
is to be debated The question is RE-
solved, That the United States gov

such ships are owned by Americans"
This is what is known as the ship
subsidy question.
There will be three speakers to eaeh.
side. Each speaker will be allowed
ten minutes for argument and five.
minutes for rebuttal With these ar
rangements it would seem that the de-
bate will be lively one. Thorough
and excellent training will be given
to each team Of debaters, none Of
which have yet been chosen by either

A DETERMINED RALLY WILL
Be HELD FOR Y. M. C. A.
Services for That Purpose to be Conducted at Each Of
the Churches in the City TO-day-A Cordial Invita-
tOn is Extended to Every Resident Of the City to
Attend These Important Services.

Today will mark the effort of the min
listers of Americus to arouse the peo-
pie of the city to immediate action 10
save the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation. In every church in the city
today the minister will speak to the
congregation on this vital topic, this
plan having been agreed upon some
time ago.
A vigorous effort will be made by
the ministers today to gain some def
mite action from their congregations
on this important matter After plac-
ing the needs of the Y NJ. c. A. be-
fore their hearers, the ministers will
ask for a vote to be taken upon the
matter at once, or within a very short
time anyway.
For this reason the services in the
various churches this morning will be
of special interest. There are five
churches in Americus, and in each of
these the services for the Y, M. c. A.
will be conducted today. The pastors
and the churches at which they will
preach today are as follows: Rev. J..
w Stokes, Presbyterian; Rev. J. A.
Thomas, First Methodist; Rev. Lans-
ing Burrows, First Baptist; Rev. R.
L. Bivins, Furlow Lawn Baptist; Rev.
j. B. Lawrence, Calvary Episcopal.
This determined and final effort in
behalf of the Y M. c. A. here was
decided upon about two weeks ago.
The matter of the salvation of the Y
NJ. c. A had been kept out of the
hands of the ministers of the city as
a specific board of workers prior to
the recent decision, as it was consid-
cred better to make every effort pos
sible to secure the cooperation Of
the people of the city on basis of civic
patriotism and enterprise rather than
appeal to them in their church rela =
tionship. But it has become neces-
sary to make use of this last resort,
so that the meetings for today were
arranged.
1t is now incumbent upon the Christ
ian people of Americus as they are
constituted in the various churches to
come to the relief of the Y. NJ c. A.
if that institution is to be saved. 9th
erwise the hope of it's salvation for
the benefit of the cause to which it
was originally dedicated must be aban-
doned. This, in brief, is the story of
the meetings to be held at the vari-
GUS churches today. A cordial invita-
ton is extended to every young man
and to every man, woman and child
in the city to attend the services at
the various churches today.

.SEABOARD IS
INDICTED BY
Federal COURT
INTERSTATE LAW VIOLATED
According to the Indictment
Returned

Macon, Ga, Jan 1S-The Seaboard
Air Line has been indicted by the
United States grand jury for the Ma
con division of the Southern district
of Georgia, for an alleged violation of
the interstate commerce laws. There
are thirteen counts specified in the in
dictment. 1t is charged that the Sea-
board Air Line conceived and execut-
ed a plan whereby it could obtain the
transportation of coal from Oliver
Springs and Briceville, Tenn, at a
rate less than the regular published
rate. The government charges that
this was done as follows:
From the two Tennessee shipping
points to Helena, the rate is $40 per
ton, and shipments are made over the
Sothern connects with the Seaboard,
Southern connects wit hthe Seaboard,
which goes to Williams, station Z
miles this side of Savannah The
rate from Tennessee. to Williams is
$2.45, it being in another tariff
group" from Helena. The Seaboard,
ordering coal for its personal use,
would have it consigned to Williams,
at the rate of $2.45 per ton.
The Southern would bring the coal
as far as Helena, and receive therefor
as its proportionate share of the haul
the sum of $1.36 per ton. The coal
would then be delivered to the Sea
board for transportation over it's own
line to Williams. However, the gov
ernment claims that the coal would
never reach Williams, but would be
distributed at Helena, Abbeville and
Americus. Thus the rate of $2.40 per
ton from Tennessee to Helena was
evaded, and the Seaboard was enabled
to get the coal shipped to it for $135
per tom This is in violation of the in
terstate commerce laws, according to
the governments contention, mas
much as it enabled the Seaboard to
obtain rate less than the published
tariff and a rate less than that which
could be obtained by any other per-
son or corporation.
If the coal shipped from Tennessee
and consigned to Williams at the
regular rate of $245 per ton, had
been delivered at Williams as the re-
suit of the joint haul of the Southern
and the Seaboard the latter road
would necessarily have paid itself the
sum of $1O5 for its share of the
transportation.
By accepting the coal at Helena,
where its line connected with the
Southern, ostensibly for carrying the
coal on to Williams, it paid only $13G
for the transportation of the commod-
ity from Tennessee to Telfair county,
whereas the regulate rate was $249
per ton. Had the coal been carried OIL
to Williams, the Seaboard would have
been privileged to pay itself $1O5 per
ton, it's proportionate share of the
charge for the haul, and the law
would not have been violated.
That, as stated, is the govern
ment's contention. The railroads side
of the case will be made known at the
trial which will probably take place
in Macon this year.
