Chinese President
Demands Power of
Absolute Dictator

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PEKIN, Oct. 24.--President Yuan
Shih Kai has issued proclamation
claiming the right to have repre-
sentative on the committee that is
drafting the constitution, the right to
appoint and dismiss cabinet mem
bers without the assembly's ratifica-
ton, and the right to promulgate all
laws, including the constitution. This
amounts to claiming an unrestricted
veto power
He asserts further that he has the
right to regulate the official system,
the right to appoint all high officials
without the assembly's concurrence,
the right to draw moneys from the
treasury when the assembly Is not in
session. and also the right TO issue
proclamations having the force of
laws when the assembly is not in SEES
sion.
As the people have more confidence
in President Yuan than in the assem-
bly,, II Is probable that he will re-
ceive the authority he asks, and will
thus become the worlds most power
full ruler

A United States census report re-
ceived by DR.. j. r. Kennedy, city
health officer, Friday shows Atlanta
to have the lowest death rate of any
city of its size and class in the South,
with the single exception of Nash
Vile, Nashville's death rate is 1871
per 1000 population, or twotenths
lower than the rate in Atlanta
[ The report gives the white and
negro death rates separate, the negro
being much higher in every case. and
raising the average for the total
population in every Southern city.
The rates of number of the larger
cities are here given, the ration being
the number of deaths to the 1000
population:
Atlanta, 1879, white SIS, negro 25.5;
New Orleans. 2i3, white 17.2. negro
327; Memphis, 21.4, white 1873, negro
2S.4; Richmond, 226. white 1871, ne
gro 1913; Nashville, 1877, white Is.
negro IS; Birmingham, 1875, white
14.9. negro 26.5; Montgomery, 2e.4,
white ia. negro S52; Charleston.
2S.7, white 1879, negro 39.3
The rate is based on the records
of 1910, but the report Is just now
being sent out. The Government Is
just that far behind with it's death
rate census reports. For 1912 DIR.
Kennedy shows Atlanta's death rate
to be even lower. The average rate
was 1886. with a rate Of 1889 for
white people and 21.2 for negroes.

OF the rescue parties William Poisa

into the mine. Rock and coal began
railing about them. Confused. they
removed their helmets Walter Kerr
and Roy Simpleman attempted to
reach them, and in the excitement the
oxygen helmets which they wore were
lost. Rock and coal was threatening
to envelop the four men Other
members of the Federal rescue crew
reached them and dragged them out
Of danger. Poisa and Lurdi had fled
TO remote and dark corner of the
mine where it was feared they per-
ished. Kerr and Simpleman were

Charles p, Light of Washington,
here for few days, figures that At
lanta has a good chance to land the
fourth American Road Congress next
year or two counts viz:
:. First, that Atlanta is a good place
of a congress.
Second, that the scriptural injunc-

who are sick will be carried out to
the letter.
Mr.. Light is field secretary of the
American Highway Association. He

whether the great congress, with its
5000 to 10000 delegates and visitors,
will come to Atlanta next fall. or will
go to- one of fifteen other cities also
seeking it,

Kansas City is another likely bid

That town bases its argument large
lY on the same thing that will help
Atlanta in the contest-the extreme
need of good roads In the surrounding
section"
Mr.. Light, accompanied by w. I.

Fred Houser of the Chamber of
commerce, spent the morning look
ing over Atlanta's. hostelries and the

with both
The facilities of Atlanta are ex-
ceptional." he said. I've been in all
the other cities seeking the congress,
except New Orleans. And Atlanta is
we'll fixed, by any comparison you
care to make.
"Atlantas hotel accumulation
are first-class in every way, and this
Auditorium is a wonder 1t is an
ideal place for a big convention"
And Mr. Winn and Mr.. Houser are
staying close by Mr.. Light, to see that
ne doesn't miss any of the points of
interest between now and the ending
of his visit, next Tuesday.
Congress Has Educative Value.
The first road congress brought out
about 1000 delegates. The last one
the third, in Observation-Disclosures nearly
5000. The next one. Mr.. Light is
sure, will be nearer 10000 than 5000.

Light said. the congress stands with

enormous benefit to any section in
which It meets. 1t has no AK to grind
nothing to sell, 1t brings together,
