CUTS DEMOCRATIC
TARIFF MAJORITY
Administration Leaders Believe. How.
ever. That Measure Will Go
Through-In Event OF Tie, Thew DE-
pend on Vice Plesident's Vote.

Washington. Aug. s-eenator Joseph
F. Johnston Of Birmingham, Ala. died
in his apartments here today.
Johnston was in poor health and
had not attended the sessions of the
senate for week. He had been con-
fined to his apartments most Of the
time. but the trouble was not diagnos-
ed as pneumonia until a few days ago.
although the senator's son. Forney
Johnston. was summoned. 1t was be-
lieved last night that the senator was
in no immediate danger.
Johnston was 20 years old and
served through the war between the
states in the confederate army. He
was governor of Alabama for two
terms and had been a member Of the
senate since 1907. He was unanimous
ly elected to succeed the late Senator
Pettus, and was reelected in 1909.
His death weakens the democratic
majority on the administration tariff
bill in the senate. although the party
leaders still assert there Will be no
serious difficulty in passing the meas
ures. On the basis Of the caucus
alignment the democratic leaders fig-
ured the vote on the tariff without de-
Elections from either side will be ~
to AZ for passage. The death Of
Johnston leaves a margin Of but one.
In case any democratic senators vote
against the bill, the democrats count
on the vice presidents vote to break
the tie.

MILLIONS SAVED
j. 8. BY MONEY
TRUST QUIZ
NeeIey Says 1t Ended Coffee Com
bine, Benefting Consumers
$2O,OOO,OOO a Year.

WASHINGTON. June 20.-DecIar-
ing that the money trust investiga-
ton. at an expense Of $4,000, had
accomplished an annual saving to the
people of the United States of S2O,-
0OO, 600 by reducing the price Of cof-
fee more than 2 cents pound, Rep
resentative Medley, of Kansas, Demo
crat. to-day urged the House to con-
tinue the inquiry.
Medley asserted the inquiry had de-
veloped evidence which resulted in
crushing the Brazilian coffee combine,
which had been exacting tribute from
every coffee consumer in the country.
This, in Neeley's opinion, was only
one Of the many benefits arising from
the inquiry.
He declared the recommendations
of the Pujo committee for a Federal
embargo on speculation in Wall
Street and a restriction OF the "pi-
rates" who operate through the clear
ing house would be enacted into law
at the earliest possible opportunity.
Neeley also asserted greater pub
Lefty should be given to the findings
of the committee, saying press agents
who drew a salary Of S25, 900 a year
from ]. P. Morgan G. Co. have con-
Quoted a systematic campaign to
bring the committee into disrepute.
Medley denounced the dissemination
of an alleged letter from J. p Morgan
& Co. to the money trust committee.
This letter contained many reck-
less statements" said Medley. yet
$4,000 copies of this libel were sent
broadcast throughout the United
States to poison the puDic against
the honest and good Intentions Of this
committee in an attempt to bolster
up a system that is ndefensible"
Neeley criticised the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee for its
inactivity.
More than $50 members Of the
House are killing time with nothing
TO do" he asserted. He declared they
were willing to work and should be
given an opportunity to make better
use of their time.

METHODISTS To
HEAR 100000
CHURCH PLAN
Noted Speakers to Advance Cause
of Representative Institution
in Washington.

DR.. George S. Sexton, of Dallas,
Tex, is in Atlanta to-day planning
for a campaign toward the attain
ment of the long cherished dream of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South-the erection of a $500, 600 rep
resentatiye church in Washington,
D. C.
Dr. Sexton announces plans for spe-
cial services in most of the Methodist
churches of Atlanta Sunday, in each
of which the pulpit will be occupied
by one Of the most vigorous clergy
men Of Southern Methodism.
The array of notable Methodists
who will be heard in the city is i'm
posing, including Bishop John c. Kill
go, Rev. John A. Moore, of Nashville,
Bishop Gambler, DR.. Sexton himself,
and others, all Of whom will talk on
the subject, The South in the Build
ing of the Nation" and all of whom
will plead the cause of the represen-
tative church.
At none Of the churches, however,
will there be the high pressure col
lection that in most instances mark
an evangelistic campaign for devot-
ed funds.
The representative church is plan
to typify the South in its highest
and best, to stand for the ideals and
-consecrat ed purposes Of the section.
1t will serve, too as an intersectional
church, according to the announced
plans, and as a means toward the
evangelization of the nations CAPT
tai
The plan of the representative
church first was preached at the Cen
eral Conference Of 1858 when a res
olutiOn to that end was introduced by
DIR. John c. Cranberry and DR.. David
S. Daugette, both Of whom subse-
quently became bishops of the South
ern church, DR. Andrew Hunter, and
w. W. Bennett. The war between
the States came soon, however, i'm
poverishing the South, and necessi-
tating a REIMBURSEMENT of the plans.
Forty eight years later at the Biz
mingham General Conference of 1906,
the question was reviewed, and the
action Of the 1858 conference was re-
affirmed In 1910. at the Asheville
General Conference, definite action
was taken in delegating to the Cen
eral Conference Board of Church Elk
tension the power to act in the mat
ter, in the appointment of a national
building committee, and in the sub
seQuent appointment of a represen-
rative Church Commission, consisting
of Bishop w. A. Gambler, chairman;

Thinks Poor House
Head Hotel Keeper

DALTON, June 20.-Before he dis
covered his error, a prominent local
business man perfected all arrange
ments for his family to go to the
poor house. The error came as a re-
suit of the striking resemblance of the
Donaldson brothers. one IN charge Of
the county poor farm and the other
Springs.
The business man asked the poor
farm keeper for a room for his fami-
ly. Mr.. Donaldson promised to have
the room ready and to send his hack
for his prospective "boarders." The
mistake was discovered later and the
hotel reservation was properly made.
