ATLANTA GOES
RIGHT AF TER
BANKERS
Georgia Delegation at Boston in
Determined Fight to Get 1914
Convention.

BOSTON. Oct. If the next con-
yartgon of the American Bankers
,sg,rfs-ion is not held in Atlantis it
--fr NOT be due to the fact that the
Atlanta delegates to the convention
5s.rg aeld in this city failed to do
their duty
The Atlanta men and also every
--Har Georgian delegate started a
GLORIOUS campaign to-day toward
landing the convention for Atlanta
nsy- year. Headed by w. P. Venable,
If Atlanta, and President L. B. Hill
rs~ NJ the Georgia Bankers Asso-
,is,fon. the Southerners went at their
..sb as though it was the biggest
thing on the program. which in It.
self is of fairly good dimensions.
Sa far. Atlanta is the only city
being doomed. Several other cities
have been mentioned, but no or
gsnized effort is being made other
han that waged by the Georgians.
Active in this work are w. V. Davis,
savannah, Edwin Sterne, Albany; z.
2 Sheffield. Americas; Joseph A.
ucCord. Haines McFadden, John x.
Ottlev and Robert F. Maddox. of At
rapts. Red lettered cards bearing
the legend. Atlanta 1914" and en-
ameI buttons with the picture Of big
watermelon are being circulated.
Toole Certain of Success.
John E. Toole, president of the
American Trust and Banking Com
pany of Albany said to-day:
I'VE are going to win in this
rampaign. Atlanta is the logical city
for the next convention. We have
every facility for holding big con-
ysnuon,"
And then Mr.. Toole gave these
reasons why Atlanta should he
chosen. atlanta is the New York
of the South. It is the financial and
industrial center of our section Of
the country. Atlanta is really grow
ing 50 fast that it is necessary that
these bankers should pay the city
visit and see for themselves just
what we are doing and again, these
boys must and will get a taste OF
zeal Southern cooking"
Tie Georgians are registered at the
Gopley Plaza Hotel.
Currency Bill Held Needless.
Edwin Sterne, of the Citizen First
National Bank Of Albany, said:
III is almost too early to say any,
thing because the general convention
will not be organized until Wednes-
day morning. There is a conference
this afternoon of the country bank
e-s TO discuss the currency question.
] IAN tell you more after that meet
ing.
Personally, 1 am Of the opinion
that the pending currency legislation
is advantageous We in South
ern Georgia do not feel the need of
it, There is plenty of money for
moving crops. Cotton has been NOV
ing for As days and the rush is over.
We can get along all right without
any government help. This whole
currency agitation is needless"

Because of some rules Of promotion
in the consular service of which he
was not aware when he made appli-
cation for the position at Shanghai,
it appears that Colonel ]. Lindsay
Johnson. of Rome, likely will not be
named to that post. a number OF
his friends, therefore, now are urging
him upon President Wilson as a tit
and proper man to be United States
Minister to Uruguay.
This is one of the most important
diplomatic assignments in South
America. and Colonel Johnson would
fill it most acceptably The Rome
editors tastes run to things agricul-
tural in large measure, and the agri-
cultural interests of South America
are vast. If Colonel Johnson is sent
to Uruguay, and it is thought he may
be he will be more or less in his
element and fully capacitated to rem
der great and material service to his
country.
Secretary Bryan is said to be heart
ilv in favor of Colonel Johnson fof
the South American post.

The rumor that Judge Pottle, of
the Court of Appeals, is thinking OF
resigning persists, Notwithstanding
the Judges most emphatic denial.
Judge Pottle was rendered a most
advantageous legal connection short
time ago and did talk that matter
over with a few friends. It is likely
that the resignation report found cur
rency through this. In addition to
this. too. he was mentioned for Con-
gress in succession to Mr.. Rodden-
berry. and that. also served to push
the rumor along.
Judge Pottle says, however,, that he
has no idea whatever of resigning
now nor any time soon. In fact, he Is
not thinking of resigning at all.

Governor Slaton probably has more
callers. for one reason and another
than any Governor Of Georgia since
Governor W. Y Atkinson, whose Of
fee generally was crowded with visi-
tors.
II has come to be rather a difficult
matter to get to the Governor, though
no fault whatever of his own. Callers,
among them many Who come from
purely friendly and social impulses,
are very numerous. and as the Gov
ernor is as good natured and friendly
as they make them, much of his time
is thus taken up.
He recently ordered clemency hear

and hereafter he will have more time
at his disposal by reason of that

State Senator and former Rep1c-
sentative w. l. Converse. of I.owndeS
one of the hes; known men in Geor-
gia. is being urged by numerous
friends IN South Georgia to enter the
Congressional race next year against
Representative Randall Walker. of the
Eleventh.
Senator Converse. who besides
being a statesman. is one of the very
busiest men in the commonwealth.
has taken the matter under serious
Amusement. and it is altogether likely
that he will enter the contest
At least, that is the persistent polit-
ical gossip one hears about the State
Capitol nowadays from the lips Of
observers who keep pretty close tab
on things in the Southwestern sec
ton.
If Senator Converse does get into
the Congressional race. it goes with
out saying that he will become imme-
and one to be reckoned with. His
services in the Legislature have made
him fine reputation, and it probably
is true that among the entire MEM
bership of both the House and the
Senate his race will be watched with
sympathy and good wishes He prob
ably did more fnAtlauta and at home
for the schools in his Congressional
district than any other one man hail
ing from that section. He is very
modest about that work. however, and
rarely mentions 1t himself.
Senator Converse is q well-balanced
man. He is an extremist in nothing.
He is tolerant and mindful OF the
opinions of others. The difficulty in
the way Of getting him to run for
Congress- perhaps, would be in con-
vincing him that he could spare the
time from his business.
There seem to be shape ups sched-
uled for several Congressional dis
tricts in Georgia next time, and If it
comes to a battle in the Eleventh be-
tween Converse and Walker, 1t is
going to be mighty interesting.
The race there last time, when Con-
gresham Walker won out. was very
close indeed. and MIR. Converse was
not in that race, either!

Retail Merchants Propose
Amendment of Law Gov
erning Women Workers
TAKE CARE OF HOLIDAY TRADE

As a result of efforts made by retail
merchants in the state led by the or
CARNATIONS in Racine, Kenosha and
Milwaukee, Secretary Slattery of the
state labor commission, will present to
the legislature an amendment to the
labor laws which will give wider lati-
tude in the employment Of women and
girls in the stores in the various cities
of the state. The amendment provides
for change in the schedule of work
ing hours for women during certain
seasons of the year.
This amendment, if adopted, will ex-
tend the girls working hours during
the week before Easter and the week
before Christmas, and probably few
days before the Fourth of July, from
8 O'Clock in the evening until 10
o clock. To make up for these extra
hours, the girls will be given time off
during the day The matter has been
fully discussed among the retailers
and it meets with the sanction of all
of them.
One of the principal employers of
young women in Kenosha said today:
!" We have lived up to the law to the
very letter in Kenosha and it has been
observed generally by merchants in all
parts of the state. We recognize that
the change that is being asked is one
that will greatly benefit the service
that we can give to the people who
patronize the stores. Holiday business
is a harvest for the retail merchant
and the law has badly interfered with
the carrying on of this business. 1t is
not the intention Of the merchants to
seek longer hours for women. Not one
in ten would be in favor of such a
proposition, but we believe that a
change in the schedule would be ac-
ceptable to the merchants and to the
general public. The young women who
work in the retail stores are loyal to
their employers and they will make no
objection to working later hours dur
ing these holiday rushes so long as
they are not expected to work extra
hours.
1t is declared that Kenosha retail
merchants to man will be in favor
of the passage of the amendent. It
is probable that a formal petition to
the legislature asking for the change
win be circulated in Kenosha within
short time.

MUST SETTLE IN MARCH.
Division of Income Tax Must be Made
When County Settlement is Made.

Division Of Income Tax Must be Made
When County Settlement is Made.
County Clerk Jones this morning re
ceived a letter from the state tax com
mission clearing up some Of the d.s-
putcd points in regard to the payment
Of the income tax but there arr still
a number of points to be decided by
the commission. It is held by the com
mission that at the time the city and
town treasurers settle with the county
tseasurer for county taxes that they
must turn over thirty per cent of the
income tax. 1t is not known whether
tits is held 80 pc recent Of the total or
30 per cent of the amount collected.
The county treasurer, is IT, settle with
tx state treasurer, but the time Of the
settlement has not been as yet made
public. One thing is certain and that
is that city treasurers throughout the
state will turn over to the counties
thirty per cent Of the amount collected
and the state and county will have to
wait with the city for their shares
of such taxes as are not paid by the
time set by the law 1t is expected
that a large amount Of the income tax
will be slow in coming in and the city
officials hold that it would be unfair
to pay over thirty per cent of the levy
before all of it is collected.

KEEP TAB on MILK SUPPLY.
Health Commissioner Watching Farms
From Which Milk is Sold in City.

Commissioner of Public Health John
j. MeShane in an effort to prevent any
further spread Of scarlet fever in the
city is making an examination Of ey-
cry farm in the county from which
milk is being supplied to the city. On
account of the development of the dis
ease among small children the depart
ment thinks possible that some milk
tainted with fever germs may be sold
in the city. All milk dealers supply
ing milk to families where the disease
has originated have BEEN directed to
give to the Health Department the
sources of their milk supply and per-
sonal examination of these sources is
being made by the Commissioner. AS
yet nothing has been found which
would indicate that any case of the
fever could be attributed to milk sup
ply.
Eighteen cases of fever were report
ed under quarantine at the Office Of
the Commissioner this morning. 1t
was stated that while some of the pa
tients Were very i'll that there was rea
son to believe that all would recover.

ARE WOMEN DISHONESTY

AXE WOMEN DlS1ONES
The Law society, which controls the
discipline Of the British legal profess
zion, has voted not to admit women
as solicitors, after a debate in which
the argument was advanced that "the
average English woman has not yet
learned to be honest" This is sin
gular charge to make in the face of
woman's proved fidelity to practically
every kind of trust in business and
public life. There is in this country
at least virtually no difference OF
opinion as to her honesty, while the
view even obtains that as between the
sexes women are the honester, if any
thing. How many women default or
run away with embezzled funds? AS
respects womans intellectual honesty,
masculine opinion of it Is evidenced
by the growing employment of women
as confidential secretaries of bankers,
corporation presidents and men at the
head Of large business enterprises,
says the New York World. If there
BIS a case on record Of their betrayal
of an employers interests it does not
occur to mind If the average Eng
llsh woman" has not yet learned to be
honest she must be thought to have
Jagged behind the American woman in
moral development, unless, indeed, the
charge is dismissed as a libel pro-
needing from masculine bias.
