WILSON BLOCKS AWARD
In FAVOR OF Rail WAY

Washington, March 19. - On the
ground that the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad would receive 100000 more
than it deserved for its property near
the union station here, President Will
son has refused to approve wards
made by condemnation jury for ac-
QUESTION of land between the capitol
and the union station to be used for a
plaza.
The president acted on the recon-
mendation of a special investigator,
who reported that the Baltimore and
Ohio, which owned much of the prop
erty condemned, would get an exces-
sive figure. New legislation By col
gress must precede new awards.

SMITHVILLE ROAD DRAGGED
Roads Cut By NarrOW-TirGd
Wagons

The county roads, particularly the
main highways leading out of Ameri-
Gus, are very much in need of re-suf-
facing and dragging, following the re-
cent freeze and heavy winter rains,
and this attention will be given them
as rapidly as possible. The Americas
Smithyille road of fourteen miles was
dragged yesterday and other main
highways will be looked after sue
cessively as rapidly as it can be dono.
Since the rainy season ended the
roads have been considerably cut up
by wagons with narrow tires hauling
heavy loads Of fertilizer over them.
Broad tired wagons, no matter how
heavily laden, are good roads build
ers" in that they pack the roadbeds,
while wagons with narrow tires are
always a destructive agency.

CONMITTEE WILL
REPORT HEARING
IN SPEER CASE

Washington, D. c., March 10. - A
report on the charges against Judge
Emory Speer, probably recommend
ing Impeachment, will be returned to
the house judiciary committee by the
special subcommittee which investi-
gated the charges, within the next ten
days or two weeks. 1t is believed that
the report will be submitted before
the first Of April.
The opinion is growing here that
the committee will probably make a
unanimous report, though there has
been some talk that possibly Mr.. Vol
stead, the republican member, might
submit a minority report to the effect
that the charges had not been fully
sustained
1t is believed that some of the
charges brought against Judge Speer
will be dismissed by the committee,
as mot proven" or "unwarranted
Probably the charge of arbitrary
and oppressive conduct will be giyel
especial consideration.
The subcommittee report will not
be made to the house direct, but to the
whole committee, which will present
a report to the house, possibly recon-
mending that articles Of Impeachment
be drawn up.
However, there is absolutely moth
ing of definite nature given out by
the committee as to whether the re-
port will be for or against Judge
Speer.

Paris, France, March 19.-Shades #

First to introduce the new fad in
Paris where fads often originate, was

is said that the sandal bids fair to be-
come very popular, although just now
il considered eccentric.
The most popular sandal is of white
with Greek ornaments in colors. The
buckle and aRklet are richly Of
namented with jewels. The sandals
are said to look particularly well when
worn with long silk pantaloons of the
same color as the dress.

CRISP IMPROVES;
is NOW WHOLLY
FREE OF FEVER
DURING STAY IN COLORADO
Friends Are Encouraged at
Reports

The many friends of Representative
Charles R. Crisp, of the Third Georgia
district, who during several weeks has
bsen sojourning at Colorado Springs
will be very much gratified to learn
that his general health shows marked
improvement since going these. For
some time past he has been entirely
free of fever, and though still confined
to his room largely, he feels much bet
ter.
Judge Crisp went to Colorado
Springs at the suggestion of his ply
sician in Washington, who assured him
that complete rest and relaxation n
his case was very essential and would
insure against any physical breakdown
as the result of continued overwork.
The result has been entirely sat
isfactory and considerable improve
ment has been brought about al
though Judge Crisp is not yet well
man. Careful nursing and the brac-
! ing atmosphere of the Colorado noun
tains, has wrought a decided change,
however, and he hopes to return to
Washington in the summer season,
again in form for his duties there.
The International Typographical
union maintains a splendid sanitarium
at Colorado Springs where its mem
bers are privileged to go when in i'll
health, and the local members of that
Organization, all of whom are personal
friends of Mr. Crisp, have invited him
to visit their home as the guest IF

DAILY, of the Union Printers Home, has
also been requested to extend to Judge

ton during his expected visit, and that
official has replied that he will be
very glad indeed to entertain such a
distinguished visitor as the able repre-
sentative in congress from the Third
Georgia district.

HOKE SMITH TO
wage Fight ON
BULL And BEAR
TO Fight COTTON EXCHANGE
Other Senator's viii FiQht
The Exchange

Washington, D. c., March 19.-The
opening gun of a fight to a finish
against the pernicious practices of the
New York cotton exchange was fired
in the United States senate today by
Senator Hoke Smith, who gave notice
that he would insist upon the passage
os the bill for the reformation of cot
ton option contracts. The Georgia
was supprted in his declaration by
Senator Overman, of North Carolina,
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
Senator Williams, of Mississippi, and
other senators from the cotton states.
1t is quite likely that the senator's
from the western wheat belt will join
forces with the southern contingents,
and that the legislation will aim to
correct abuses in the grain exchanges
also.
1--WE are in the fight against the
pernicious practices of the New York
cotton exchange to the fnish," said
Senator Smith to a press representa-
tive after starting the ball rolling
in the senate. THE recent action
of the board of governors of the ex-
change, in adopting the government
standard effective one year hence will
not silence the agitation. The senate
will be urged to compel an immediate
revision of the rules and contracts o.
the exchange and l believe that the
facts are sufficient to warrant thy
speedy passage of legislation by con
gress."
After the Georgia senator haC
opened up the subject in the senate
today, Senator Smith, of South Carroll.
ma, author of the bill to regulate the
cotton exchanges, gave notice that o.
tomorrow he would seek to have his
measure placed on it's passage II,
invited the senator's from the wheat
belt to join in the fight and received
assurances from Senator McCumber
of North Dakota, that the westerne"s
would gladly enlist in the movement
provided that the legislation regulates
also the grain exchange.
In calling the subject to the atten-
ton of the senate, Senator Smith
presented letters from John B. King
Manufacturing company, of Augusta,
and the Bibb Manufacturing company.
of Macon, urging legislation to cor
rect the evils of the New York ex-
change. He presented also the reso-
