WILSON READY ID
 SIGN TARIFF BILL
Says Has Pen ShaPpened'-IncOme Tax and Cotton Futures Chief Points at Issue Between the
 House and Senate.

Washington, Sept 22.-Disputed points between the Senate and the House ill the tariff bill narrowed down 10 such chief features as the income tax, the tax on cotton fu- lures and the general administra- tive provision. Democratic man agers expected to send the confer ence report to the House by Thurs day.
 President Wilson told callers to- day that his conferences with lead CTS led him to believe all differences would be smoOthed out, and he would sign the bill this week.
 I've got my pen sharpened," said the president.
 Chairman Simmons of the Senate finance committee and Senator Hoke Smith assured President Wilson to- day that they expected the bill to be ready for his signature the end of the week. The last moment of the passage of a tariff measure, how ever, always offers opportunity for rejection of the conference report and further delfberation on points upon which each house may insist
 Democratic leaders from the South are said to be agreed upon the cotton future tax compromise promised by Representative Lever and endorsed by Burleson and Hoke Smith. Instead of the high Clarke tax, it proposes a smaller tax on cotton for which the government has fixed standards. The cotton eX- change men are protesting against it.
 Chairman Simmons said he had not discussed the cotton future tax with the president, but indicated the Senate managers would not yield to the House in this amendment Fur ther he refused to discuss the sub ject. With a consideration of the income tax section today, the Sen ate amendment lowering the mini mum exemption from 5000 to s. GOO, allowance for dependent wives and children, and larger taxes on great incomes came up for settle ment.
 Discount for American Bottoms.
 Chairman Alexander of the House merchant marine committee, with l Representative Jones of Virginia 1 and McGillicudy of Maine, asked l the president to favor an amend ment to the tariff bill giving a 5 per cent discount in duties to imports in vessels wholly built in the United States, no matter where owned.
 A House provision of a per cent discount for goods in American owned ships was struck out by the Senate on the protests of many for eign governments that it was a dis in violation of their treaties. The president did not | commit himself, but indicated that | if the amendment did not conflict | with treaty rights he would favor | it.

Atlanta the Reno of the South.

Atlanta, December S.-Atlanta IS
preparing to re-establish her title this
week as the Reno of the south, with
the heaviest superior court divorce
docket in her history.
With more than 500 divorces al
ready granted in 1913, the present
calendar has 179 more, and before
tonight it is believed the total will
run to nearly 200.
Only a small proportion of the
principals in the divorce cases are
lifelong Atlantians. The remainder
are made up of that floating popula-
ton that comes and goes from year
to year.
Atlanta is suffering apparently not
so much from the incompatability of
it's own married couples as from the
fact that Georgia is an extremely
easy state to get a divorce in.
There is an undefended divorce suit
law by which if the person sued can
not be found, the serving of the pa
pers can be made legal simply by
publication. Then the divorce can go
on, and wife who has husband in
indianapolis or Hong Kong can get a
divorce in Atlanta while the husband
perhaps may not know that the pro-
ceedings are going on at all.
Nearly all the divorces are based on
the stock charges of cruel treatment
and desertion, or non support in
some form or other. The ones which
charge infdelity are not nearly so
numerous as those which charge
cruel treatment. '

STUDENTS TOLD TO FIGHT.
Teacher Referees Fistic Duel While
Students Look On.

Before 400 students and number
of professors two freshmen of the
Georgia School of Technology met in
an improvised ring and settled their
quarrel with bare fists.
Prof. w. F. Herman acted as RET
cree, and the principals were his
brother. Frank Herman, from New
Orleans. and Bill Coney, of Columbus,
Ga. The fight was savage, and both
boys were terribly punished. Coney's
face was cut severely, and Herman
was so badly mauled that it took two
hours to put him on his feet.
Prof. Herman, who heads the de-
partment of modern languages, fore
ed the fight because of an epithet
nsed by his freshman brother. 1t
occurred in the class room, when
somebody threw an eraser and struck
young Herman on the head.
The man who threw that and
doesn't own up is - he shouted.
Coney demanded that Herman
apologize or fight. Herman refused
to apologize.
Then you will have to fight him,
Frank said Prof. Herman to his
brother
The student body and some of the
professors followed the principals
to the ring on the campus. After
the fight the contestants shook hands.

lane University and is an athlete

McLAURIN FOR SENATE.
Believed He, Smith and BleaSe Will
Make the Race.

Columbia, December 3.-The be-
lief that Senator John L. MeLaurin
is going 10 enter the race !or the
enited States Senate next year is in
ereasing and speculation as to the
outcome of a triangular contest be-
tween Senator McLaurin, Governor
Blease and Senator E. D. Smith has
already begun. 1t is admitted that
better trio of sstump-speakers could
aet be found, and political circles are
quietly watching for Developments
in the fight for the junior Senator
ship.
Senator McLaurin is in Columbia,
but refuses to talk on politics for
publication or make any statement
rs to his plans 1t is known that
letters have been pouring in on him
from all sections of the State urging
him to enter the race for the Senate.
These letters come from Tillmanltes,
Bleaseites, Anti-Bleasites, Conserva-
tives and Reformers. The Marlboro
Senator is constantly receiving call
ers from every part of the State, and
nsny men have been in his room at
the Jefferson Hotel this week to shake
his hand and urge him to enter the
Senatorial ring.
Some Want Him for Governor.
There are still some people writing
the Marlboro Senator to enter the
race for Governor, but, it is believed,
they represent a small minority.
Pressure from strong quarters is be-
ing brought to bear on him to come
into the Senatorial light: this is
patent fact to anyone on the ground.
Close friends of Senator McLaur-
in have let drop the intimation that
his inclinations are to offer for the
Senate. but on this subject he him
self has refused to talk when inter-
viewed. He is pushing the cotton
warehouse bill and taking active part
in the fight to stamp out cotton gam
bling on the New York Cotton Ex-
change. Bue when the direct ques-
ton is put to him as to his entering
the Senatorial fight he smiles and
refuses to be questioned.
Senator McLaurin has been preach
ing peace and harmony between the
fighting factions of the Democratic
party in this State and he says that
this is what he wants to accomplish.
He states that he fears if the fac,
tienal fight is carried much further
that a split will be brought about
and white supremacy threatened. He
urges the people to stop and consider
where they are heading and warns
them against any break in the solid
ity of it's people. The Marlboro Sen
ator says that Office is secondary
consideration, that what he wants
to do is to bring the people together,
and if he can do this he will be salts
fed.
People are curious to know what
Senator McLaurin is going to do. He
is well known in South Carolina and
has many friends over the State.
He is in the prime of life, we'll versed
in matters of government, good
politician and one of thes best de-
baters and stump speakers OF the
day. With him in the race the COM
plexion would undoubtedly be chang
ed An entirely new element would
be injected, making it. in that event
all the more interesting.
1t is not thought that Senator Nc
Laurin will make any definite an
neuncement as to his plans until the
meeting of the General Assembly.

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.--pOssibflity OF
the sprinelng mp OF q new organiza-

New York, was presented today In the
discussion OF politicians endeavoring
TO determine the action that should
be taken as result OF the overwhelm-

election OF John Purroy Mitchell as
mayor.
A new deal Is certain. The COM
plete sweep Of the fusion forces left

the reform element ~ we'll a. giving
them the elective ofiices and control
In every borough. The same condf-
lions exist In the state at large, but
Just how the new masters will meet
the new situation Is problemstical.
One faction. headed by the younger
element, favors the financing OF new
ont and out anu-Tammany orgRniza-
ton. They desire a complete new
deal. not merely new cards In the old
game. This faction believes there are
enough young men Of wealth inter
ested In the. fight on Tammany to f.
nance the new organization in fight
to wrest control completely out OF
Tammany's hands and place II on a
reform basis.
On the other hand the more con-
servative forces believes complete
reorganization Of Tammany hall Will
be sufiicient. They point out that
with Murphy ousted and capable lead

powerful machinery of the famous or
