HARDW|Ck IS NAMED
SHORT TERM SENATOR
Fielder Threw Strength to Him
On Fourteenth Ballot
at Macon

Congressman Thomas w. Hard
wick was nominated for Senator to
errc,ed Senator Bacon at the Demo
cratic Convention in Macon Wednes-
d2v after Hon. Thomas 5. Fielder
had withdrawn in his favor.
This accomplished the ov2rwhelm-
inc defeat Of Governor Slaton who
had received more direct votes and
more county unit votes than either
Hardwick or Fielder in the Primary.
The Convention met Tuesday
morning at ten o'clock and sat with
out adjournment until after seven
the next morning. The only real
fight was over the short term Sena-
torship, which ended as stated in
the nomination of Hardwick.
Hon. Frank Jenkins, of Putnum,
was elected Temporary Chairman
through the combined vote of Eel
der and Hardwick This was the
first blow for Slaton, as the Tenn
DOrary Chairman appointed the COM
mittee on credentials. Judge Nor
ris, of Cobb was a member of the
committee which decided in favor
of several delegations that were
friendly to the Hardwick factions.
Among these was the Gilmer county
Delegation of which Hon. Bart Cox
was the head. Tom Watson's friend.
Major Charlie McGregor, of Warren,
was among those turned down. He
had openly stated, it is said, that he
would vote for Slaton although War
ren Democrats had carried the coun-
ty for Hardwick. He did not get
a chance to vote for anybody.
Judge Nat Harris was nominated
for Governor without a contest, DR..
Hardman withdrawing in his favor.
Senator Hoke Smith was nominal
ed by acclamation and made a speech
Of acceptance which was de-
voted largely TO a discussion of plans
for financing the cotton crop.
With these matters out of the way
the fight over the Bacon vacancy
started. Between that time and Sc
ven o'clock Wednesday morning
thirteen ballots were taken and then
there was an adjournment until
noon.
When the convention reconvened
Mr.. Fielder withdrew in favor of
Hardwick and Hardwick was speedi-
" given the nomination. The ballot
ing was as follows;

RIVER ICE BREAKING UP.
Channel Is Expected to Be Open
Within a Few DAYS,

If the moderate weather continues for a
day or two longer it is the general opin-
ion along the river front that the light
ice now covering the river will all disap-
pear and navigation will be without OBJ
struction. Yesterday afternoon the river
between this city and Alexandria, and
for many miles down the river was full
of broken ice moving up and down with
the tides, but it was being worked ashore
by the winds and the channel Is expected
to clear up soon.
No ice made Thursday night or last
night, and though no sailing vessels have
arrived or departed under sail it is said
that those with power could easily come
or CO. Reports received from the creeks
tributary to the Potomac state that they
are still covered with ice varying from an
inch to two inches in thickness and no
vessels are going in or out of them. II
will require several days of high temper
ature to start the ice out of them. There
is no ice of consequence on Chesapeake
BAY, but the creeks emptying into the
bay are all closed and navigation on them
is suspended. Ice has also closed the ap-
proaches to the Delaware and Chesa-
peake canal and forced a suspension of
navigation through 1t.

KODAK TRUST DESIRES
TO AVOID PROSECUTION
Seeks Peaceful Settlement and Agree
ment With Government
Seems Likely.

The kodak trust now is seeking
peaceful settlement of troubles with the
Department of Justice to avoid further
prosecution of suit pending under the
Sherman antitrust laws. Agreement
seems probable within short time.
Suit was begun against the Eastman
Kodak Company of New jersey and the
Eastman Kodak Company of New York
a Buffalo last June. Answer was made
by the defendants. Taking of testimony
by the government is near completion
Settlement of the suit may be reached
either by an agreement out of court
similar to that with the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, or in the
form of 3. consent decree reg stored in
a federal court. The success of the
agreement plan so far has inclined Off
Gals to favor it in this case.

Market Hunters Object.

The market hunters all over the coun-
try are violently opposed to the law.
Many sportsmen take reasonable view
of 1t. but as a rule the man who shoots
in Massachusetts, thinks the game birds
need drastic protection from the hunt
ers in Louisiana, and the man who has
n chance to go after jacksnipe is willing
to see the law enforced as to ducks If
it will just let jacksnipe alone.
The hunters along the great inland
waterways as a rule do not see why the
rivers should be made protected highways
for the migratory birds. and the men who
have been used to night shooting do not
like the shutdown feature Of the law.
However. the regulations have worked
fairly well for the first season, and when
the 100 new guardians get on the job
the department feels 1t will be better in
touch with conditions all over the coun-
try.

Limiting the AREA of debatable ground

according to Representative Stanley, by
inserting in the second section of that act
the words. 'in any degree so that 1t
will read as follows:
Every person who shall monopolize. or
attempt to monopolize. or combine or
conspire with any other person or per
sons to monopolize in any degree any
part of the trade or commerce among

tons shall be deemed guilty of mis-
demeanor and, on conviction thereof.
shall be punished by fine not exceeding
s.. coo, or by imprisonment not exceeding
one year. or by both said punishments, in
the discretion of the court
The insertion of these words. in Mi.

interpretations which would soften the
effect of prosecution and will render all
restraints of trade Illegal.
