School Work Begun.

up to the present time the Salem
school board has authorized the fol.
lowing expenditures for improvements
and for the benefit of the city
schools; Improvements, $500; repairs,
$500; heating plants, $4,000, and for
fire escapes $4,000. While much of
this improvement is let by contract,
the labor is being performed by local
people and the money expended thus is
kept right in this city. Even the
company which succeeded in securing
the contract for the installation of the
heating plants will engage local labor
to assist in the work, and the fire es.
capes will be set up by Salem work.
men.
These items alone are deserving of
more than passing notice, in view of
the fact that they require the labor of
local people, and local people will keep
the money in the city.
The total amount of money to be ex.
pended for the improvements to the
public schools this summer is 81, 800.
With even a portion of this amount re.
naming in Salem, the annual building
program will be largely beneficial to
this city directly.

NEW YORK, March 13.-Influenced by
firm cables and covering by shorts the
cotton market here opened barely steady
TODAY, at to points advance from last
nights close. Trading was of a light
character. attributed chiefly to local oper-
atoms. Liverpool was a buyer here.
While sentiment continues beartsh, the
uncertainty of weather conditions is
causing some hesitancy. After the call
the only feature of Importance was the
selling of March and buying of later po-
sitlOns. March deCline3 points, while
distant months were steady around the
initial figures.
During the forenoon the market was
featureless, with the exception of scat
tered buying on heavy rains in certain
sections Of the belt, with indications
pointing for more; also, reports OF storm
warnings in the Northwest and Gulf
coast, Mobile to Cedar Keys. This in

with other positions displaying strength,
and at midday prices were / to points
advanced from the opening.
Further advices from the belt report
ed Improvement in the spot situation,
with sales fairly good. This, coupled with
apprehension that weekend figures to-
feature but did not influence any ag-
gressive buying of consequence.
The general belief prevails that further
rallies would encourage further selling
from conservative shorts, who have Gov
cred a large percentage of their short
lines. This. probably. is the main factor
for the narrow range of late months IN
face of extremely bearsh sentiment.
At the close the market was very
steady with prices showing net gain 6

JURY TAKES SON FROM
MRS. MIRIAM CRAIG

Mrs. Miriam Craig lost the custody
Of her four FOLD boy and her suit
for alimony in the remarkable divorce
proceedings instituted against her by
her husband, R. H. Craig. The case
came to an end in the superior court
today after Ave days of a sensational
trial. The case has been in the courts
Of three states.
Evidence was introduced this morn
ing, just before the case went to a
Jury. that Mrs. Craig, since coming TO
Atlanta, had been seen in clubs drink
ing with other men.
About six months ago Craig got his
first decree. which was won by default
In the final proceedings Craig not only
fought his suit for divorce and the
custody of his son. but fought the
counter suit of Mrs. Craig for the Gus
rodv Of the child and alimony.
The fact that the jury not only de-
MED the woman alimony, but the Gus
tody of the boy, will make it one OF
the most remarkable in the annals OF
the Fulton county courts.
The jury deliberated the matter an
hour before returning a verdict.

BERLIN HUBIN Bic
FINANCIAL STORM
Credit Strained and Condition
Tense, But There Are Hope
full Signs.

The financial outlook is far from en-
couraging American bankers still regard
he European situation with apprehen-
sion. The storm center is Berlin.
A New York Frankfurt house of the
highest standing has issued a reasonable
statement intended 20 allay overalarmins
apprehension. At the same time the
Reichsbank made a weekly report show
ing a decrease in loans Of 81, OOO, 900 marks
and a fair increase in cash. Nevertheless.
one must go back of these returns.
The tremendous crop in loans is itself
a confession Of extreme prudence on the
part of Germany's chief financial institu-
ton; the increase of SO, ia, 900 marks in
discounts-a most extraordinary amount
is a plain evidence of what the Imperial
bank is doing on the constructive side
doing to relieve the tension. Moreover,
the gold engaged was for German &C
count. To contend, as we have contend
ed, that 4 per cent government loan had
failed here at this time. as it failed last
week in Germany, is a gratuitous as
sumption. Although all the world is at
present seeking financial succor here,
enough money would come forth to alb
q
Uncle Sam on the low terms Of the Prus-
sian emission.
German Credit Stra ned.
The brutal fact is that not only have
German f1nanciers strained German cred
It's but the government, in unwisely and
precipitously emulating frances arma-
ment move, has terrified German invest
ors. Had France cunningly devised a
StrataRem to embarraSs Germany fnan-
cially she could not have caught her
hereditary enemy" more effectually.
Germany is celebrating the one hun
dredth anniversary Of her emancipation
from French military rules, from the
regime that made of Louise a most pa
thetic figure as a helpless and insulted
queen. But Germany is today under far
more insldious thralldom. She Is subject

France to "can" Germany suddenly and
imperatively the strain would end in a
collapse.
steel Dividend Good Sign.
Mr.. Schwabs dividend declaration of
; per cent on Bethlehem steel preferred
the first in FIVE years, is a favorable
symptom.
Schwab is an excellent judge Of steel
and iron conditions. Were he not conf

dered the payment. He stated recently
that this testimony in Washington was
given with certain professional reserva-

Progress Hits Old School Lot.

Progress HltS Old ocnool LOT.
The old Marietta Street school lot is
soon TO be no more That is it is being
reduced in cubic yards to such an eX-
tent that IT will be hard to recognize
as the same place that held for so
many years the Marietta Street school
building. This lot was once elevated
about 90 feet. A steam shovel is fast
digging into it, however and will soon
bring ii to a level with Marietta and
Lucllie streets. Then it viii probably
be sold by the city. The lot has a
frontage of about $50 feet on Marietta
and Luckie streets, and has depth Of
about $50 feet. 1t is just north of En-
NETT street. The school building was
torn away and She new school build
ing erected several blocks to the north
on Luckie street. There are about 25,-
600 cubic yards of earth in the part of
the lot which is being removed.
The county is doing this work with
its steam shovel. purchased last fall for
about $4,000, and the city is furnishing
the teams.
The county is also improving extern
sively the athletic grounds of the Geor-
gia School of Technology Czech Flats).
About IS convicts are working there,
and they are making the dirt fly.
Grandstands and bleachers formerly
were located on a great bank to the
west of the field. but these are now on
the east and the bank is being cut
away. 1t contains about $4,000 cubic
yards of dirt. This work will be COM
pleted in about four weeks.
