mortal Day, at funerals and on similar

iutant General Nash today in a COM

The adjutant general submitted the
opinion that the Spanish War veterans
would come under the same provisions

lures, but spot sales are points lower.
Sales, 5000 bales.
cable said that the market was sus-
tanned by spinners calling at the end of
the month.
The fact that spinners delayed calling
until the very end of the month and that
spot sales are so small, does not speak
well for the urgency of needs.
Our market opened a few points better
and rallied to 1925 for May on buying,
based on the strength of Liverpool and
government forecast of unsettled weather
for the Western states.

LEE'S ATTORNEY
IS READY FOR
WRIT FIGHT
Habeas Corpus Move to Free
Negro in Phagan Case Due
to Start Monday,

Habea-s corpus proceedings in be-
half Of Newt Lee, negro night watch
man al the National Pencil Factory,
were promised Monday by the negro's
attorney, Bernard L. Chappell Set
Element Of this phase of the Phagan
murder mystery viii determine def
nitely the status Of the negro.
II is known that the State regards
Lee as a material witness in building
up its case against Frank The atti-
tude Of Mr. Chappell is that his client
knows no more about he crime than
he already has told, and should there
fore be freed. Lee has told the de-
tectivos nothing which links any man
directly with the crime BY the de-
Tense. his story Is held to point to the
guilt Of Leo Frank no more than to
the guilt of Conley
The State. however, will fight any
effort to give the negro his liberty.
Solicitor Dorsey fears that Lee will
get out Of the jurisdiction Of the
court once he is permitted his free
dom.
The battle over Lee is the only out
ward sign OF activity in the Phagan
case either by the defense or the
prosecution. but II is known that the
defense is busily engaged completing
it's case. one new witness was in
terviewed Saturday by Franks law
yers, and his affidavit taken before 4
notary public. A strong net is being
woven about Conley. The nature x
the testimony S being kept secret. but
II Is known that the defense expects
to free Frank by showing that it was
Conley who committed the crime. The
negro is said TO be enmeshed In the
testimony in the hands Of the defense
Despite rumors Of another post

and prosecution said Monday that they
would be ready to go ahead with the
case at the time set for trial July

The Legislature, even as a tenta-
tive proposition. already is finding the
matter Of tax reform a perplexing
problem, and one calculated to give it
much trouble before IT is adjusted
Particularly Is the question Of tax
equalization bothersome and full Of
difficulty
MI Lipscombe, Of Clarke, has an
equalization bill pending in the
House and Mr Cole, Of Barlow, and
Mr. Swift. Of Muscogee. have inheri-
lance tax bills.
The former was drawn by one Of
the most eminent lawyers in Georgia
an ex-Supreme Court Justice-and
is thought to be as nearly perfect as
such a measure can be made. Mem
beers are non committal with respect
to II. however
The latter two bills, both carefully
prepared seem to have attracted con-
siderable favorable attention, and
both have the backing Of the ad-
ministration, in a general way, but
whether either will pass is problemat-
icaI.
The Legislature plainly Is inclined
to reform the tax laws, but it just
as plainly does not know exactly how
to 20 about it or where to begin.
"One trouble in the situation" said
we'll known member Of the House
day, Is the real or imaginary OPP
position Of the farmers to board Of
tax equalizers.
AS a matter of fact, | do not be-
lieve the farmers, in any very large
proportion, anyway, oppose the tax
equalization idea. Perhaps a few Of
them do, but | fail to see where any
honest farmer-and the majority %
Georgia farmers are honest-should.
Instead OF putting up the farmers
taxes. an equalization act much more
likely would put them down. II as
sessments we're adjusted in Georgia
as they should be- the total would be
so much larger than 1t is now that
taxes in the average amount paid
would come down rather than 60 up
and the farmer would find himself i'm
mensely benefited by this. Instead Of
state rate of . mills. If taxes were
equallzed, We probably should be able
TO get along with rate OF 2l-2 or
mills.
SO. II a farmers lands were raised
they might not be, and would not
be in many cases, Of Course-a tritie,
the total Of his taxes likely would ne
less than now
The purpose of tax equalization
act is to catch the tax-dodgers, and
to catch them In the open. Such a
measure would catch them, too. And
If the dodgers we're made to come to
time. the present taxpayers Of the
state would find themselves charged
lup with less Of the public expense in
/ stead of more.
/ 1T is to be hoped that the present
I Legislature will pass some genuine
tax reform measures, even If It does
nothing else during the present ses-
| sion"

SALE Of A., B. IA.
ROAD AROUSES
ASSEMBLY
Rumor That Louisville & Nash
vile Seeks Line Rouses Inter
est in Fate Of W. & A.

The coming sale Of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad,
under foreclosure proceedings, and
the rumor that the Louisville and
Nashville has its eyes upon it, has
started something of a panic among
Georgia legislators, particularly as
the present Legislature likely will
consider seriously the problem of the
Western and Atlantic's release in
1919.
There are two parties in the pres
ent Legislature with respect to the
Western and Atlantic Railway. One
favors the release of the States
road as it now stands. the other the
extension Of the road to the Atlantic
seaboard.
II the L. & y. gobbles the A, B.
& A.. it is held by some that 1t
thereby will have strategic advantage
over the State road in the matter of
extension to the sea. Indeed, if the
L. & n gets the A. B. & A, II is
pr, iicted that the railroad map of
Georgia likely will be pretty well
changed within a short time.
There are those in the General As
sembly who are advocating the pur-
chase Of the A, r. q A. by the State,
thus extending the w. & A to the
sea. Others hold that the State should
keep its hands off the A, B. & A. road
and conf1ne itself to such railroad
property as it now possesses, with its
fine terminal facilities in Atlanta and
Chattanooga.
II the L. & n. gets the A. r. & A.,
Il is figured by some legislators that
II Immediately provide for entry into
Atlanta by some other way than that
over the State road. as IT now comes
in If this is done, it is contended that
the w & A. will will be pretty vel
put out Of bushes.
