and the sealed note which he later
sent to Circuit Judge Whitney.
1t was stated at the hearing the 9TH

Judge Whitney committed the youth

Court Asks Grand Jury to Urge
Law Making Pistol Carry

ATLANTA WELL GOVERNED

Remedy for Deadly Weapon
Evil Seen in Measure Prohib-
iting PaWning of Arms.

While declaring that recent reforms
had made Fulton county and Atlanta
the best governed and most law -abid-
ing community he could think of, Su-
perior Judge Bell today told the Full
ton grand jury that pistol toting should
be made a felonious crime.
This senseless, foolhardy and cow
ardly habit of carrying deadly weapons
should be made a penitentiary offense,
punishable by a term of years on Geor-
gia roads, said the jurist in conclud-
ing his charge to the January grand
jury in first division of superior court.
The case with which pistols are
obtained comes about through the
pawning of weapons. / advise this
jury to look into the matter and recon-
mend the passage Of law which will
prohibit the loaning of money on pis-
tolls

NAVAL SUPPLY SHIP
"PANTHER" MISSING
SINCE HEAVY STORM

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.--Every vessel
along the middle Atlantic coast was no
titled by wireless today to search for the
United States naval supply ship Panther
carrying a crew of twelve officers and
men, which has not been heard of since
she was caught by the full fury of Fri
days hurricane off Cape May.
For three days the shore stations from
New Jersey to the Carolinas have been
trying to get in touch with the Panther
by wireless, but no answer was received
TO any Of the queries.
Whether the Panthers wireless ceased
working and other wireless masts were
crippled or whether the disaster overlook
the ship has not been learned.
It was expected that if no word was re-
ceived from the ship soon the navy de-
partment would order warships to steam
out from Hampton Roads in search of the
Panther. The Panther left this port with
naval supplies for the United States sta
ton at Guantanamo, Cuba.
The supply ship was in communication
with land when the storm overlook her
and her wireless operator said she was
still standing the storm strain well. Then
communication was suddenly broken off.

PATTEN COTTON
CORNER ILLEGAL
Supreme Court 0verruleS Cir.
cult Court and Defendants
Must Now Stand Trial.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-In deci-
sion in the cotton corner" case the
suit brought against James A. Patten
and others, the supreme court today re-
versed the decision of the circuit court,
dismissing the governments charges,
and ruled that the corner violates the
antitrust Law.
The court held it was not at liberty
under its jurisdiction, to take up the
counts of the indictments separately,
and had to conine its consideration to
the question of the correctness of the
lower courts Interpretation Of the stat
utes.
Justice Vandeventer. who delivered
the opinion. called attention to the fact
that in their deals on the cotton ex-
change the alleged conspirators agreed
to buy amounts largely in excess of the
available supply. The parties differed.
according to the opinion, as to the
methods of carrying out the corner but
the court, which declared that the sofu-
ton Of this question was in the counts
Of the Indictment which it could not
discuss. left this phase OF the controver-
sy to the circuit court
As to the main question whether a
corner constitutes a violation of the
antitrust law, the court declared that
the corner or conspiracy brings about
the exact conditions which the anti
trust law is designed to prevent.
Although there might have been tenn
porary stimulation, in the end there
could be no sale except as the conspira-
tors desired. 1t was held, therefore
that the charges in the indictment as
interpreted by the lower court, came
within the prohibition Of the law. and
the case was remanded with instruc-
lions to the lower court to act ac-
cordingly This means that the de-
PENDANTS must stand trial on the indict-
meuts
The list Of men who will have to stand
trial as result Of the decision are

Army Canteen Would

Of Posts--Gen. Evans
Commander of Department Of
Gulf Upholds Contentious of
General Leonard Wood.

Commenting today on General Major
Leonard Woods commentator of the
army canteen as it used to be, Briga-
der General Robert X. Evans, of the
Department of the Gulf, declared that
the re-esta blishment of the institution
would tend greatly toward raising the
moral tone at Fort Mcpherson, as well
as elsewhere.
1T has been shown cOnclusively," as
serted General Evans, that where the
open bar exists in the army neighbour

whisky is sold and the troops spend all
their money when the ghost walks,
Formerly, the post trader ran the CO.
operative store inside the barracks, and
sold beer and light wines, and the post
lieutenant stood by to warn the soldiers
when they got enough to drink. Drunk
enness was almost unknown and the
men spent less of their earnings than
they do under the present system"
General Evans left this afternoon for
Washington, where he goes to confer
with General Wood, Secretary Slim
son and a host of army heads on the
reorganization Of the army.
General Wood commended the army
canteen in his annual report. He also
favors ousting unfit officers from the
