Want To Take Power
From Woodward.

The members of council VINO are
standing as sponsors to the board sys-
tenn and the petty politicians ','snt to
forestall any recommendations for rad
ical charter changes. With the ap-
pointment of the committee out of the
hands of Mayor Woodward and made
up of councilmen, they feel that they
can control the matter.
II this program is attempted on the
floor of council, vigorous fight will
follow. After hearing of the effort,
Mayor Woodward was more positive
than ever in urging sweeping reforms
A report of the plan is that Mayor
Pro Tenn Warren will be selected to
appoint the committee. Mayor Pro
Tenn Warren said today that he was as
much in favor Of charter reforms as
any man in Atlanta, and that he not
only would not join in any move to OBJ
struct. but that he would do all in his
power to aid the people to get what
they want.

Chief Beavers announced after tbs

Beavers Foes
Are Helpless.

The gossip of the wisest politicians Is
that practically every member of the
police commission is opposed to Police
Chief Beavers stand. So far. though.
no obstacle has been placed in the way
Of Chief Beavers by the officials above
him.
The fact is, the opponents OF Chief
Beavers program are helpless at pres
ent to make any move. On account Of
the civil service rules, they can't re-
move him without a trial. and they
have no charge on which to try him
That Mayor Woodward disapproved
Of an open tight on tho chief at present
was shown by his failure to appoint
Alderman A. II. VanDyke as chairman
of the police committee, after the al
derman had declared war on the chief.
The first impression Of his appoint
ment of Councilman CoIcord. a prom
inent church worker was that the fight
on Chief Beavers plan had collapsed.
Instead, later developments show that
the opposition to the chiefs policy is
just as determined as ever.

FARMERS AND PRESIDENTS.

The chief magistry of the nation has
swung away from the farms. John
Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, Fill
more, Pierce. Lincoln, Garfield and
Benjamin Harrison were all sons of
farmers, and Washington, jefferson,
Madison, Monroe and Taylor were
sons of planters. Washington was a
planter; William Henry Harrison was
a farmer, and Lincoln in his youth was
a farm hand. Every president since
Grant has been lawyer, even In.
Guiding Roosevelt, who was admitted
to the bar. In the United States there
are about 125,0O0 lawyers. Few OF
them are producers; the large ma
jority are not property owners their
average income is less than 81 200 a
year. The figures of the recent CEN
sus show that $50, ,74s American farm
ers own their farms, and that 1927, 1897
own them free of all debt. We have
more than 100000 voters, represent
ing more than $4,000 ,OOO, 900 and the
basis of our national prosperity, with
comparatively little direct representa-
ton in high office. More than half
of the senate are lawyers, and more
than half of the house of representa-
tives. To cap the climax, final de-
cision about our most vital legislation
has been usurped by the courts.--Col-

arrived.
OF the 64,73s Jewish immigrants
1906 were married, 2,017 widowed,
A divorced, 1929 were children un-
der the age Of IA, and the girls num-
bered STA.
Two thousand five hundred and six
ty-eight Of these immigrants have
been in the country before.
The 64,73s immigrants brought with
them the sum of s1,75O, ,952.7S, frac-
tion over $27.04 per soul. To the
$3.50, ,925.73 must be added s25S,952.
This by no means completes the
financial part of Jewish immigration.
A conservative estimate of the amount
which each immigrant spends for ship
and railroad transportation is $75, CIV
ing for the 64,738 Jewish immigrants,
1886, $50, one-third of which flows
into the treasury of railroad compa-
pies in America. Added to this
amount the moneys paid to the Ameri-
can express companies for the trans
poration Of baggage and the commits
sion on steamship tickets earned by
American steamship agents, the none
tary value of these 64,739 Jewish i'm
migrants during 1912 may well be es-
timated at at least s7,000,000.
The number of deportations were
$40 (of these 103 only were for loath-
some and contagious diseases) against
787 deportations out of total number
Of Jewish arrivals of 81 500 the pre-
vious year.
Fourteen thousand nine hundred and
ninety-two men, women and children
were looked after by the department
of distribution. They were met by a
representative of the society on the
dock at Ellis island and brought to
the home at 229-231 East Broadway.
From thence they were distributed to
the various destinations or sheltered
until called for by relatives.
No charge is made to the immi-
grant except his car fare, Special
care is taken of girl immigrants and
before they are discharged the place
to which they are destined is care
fully investigated.
