this afternoon appeared before the
Reserve Bank Committee and pro-
tested against any such plan and pre-
sented additional data in behalf of
Atlanta, Senator Hoke Smith could
not appear because of illness.
The Georgia Congressman told Sec
retaries McAdoo and Houston and
Comptroller John SHELTON Williams
who constitute the Reserve Commit
tee, that such plan would be unjust
to every Southern State and to At
lanta in particular.
The additional data which they pre-
sented set out the bank clearings
and commercial receipts Of Atlanta
and showed conclusively that At
lanta should have the regional bank
and furthermore that there was an
accepted sentiment throughout the
South for Atlanta. The Reserve
Committee stated it would be so days
before any agreement was reached.

ADELAIDE. AUSTRALIA, Feb. 27.
Discoveries OF immense commercial
value were made in the Antarctic by
DR. Douglas Mawson. the explorer.
who has just returned from the south.
DR.. Mawson, who is still suffering
from the severe hardships through
which he and his men passed, said
to-day that enormous beds of coal
and copper lie in the Antarctic re-
gions
"On account OF the ice fields, we
were unable to make complete sur
vey and don't know exactly how big
the ore and coal fields are" he said.
They are very extensive, however. It
would be difficult task to produce
coal or ores because of the intense
cold and the difficulties in transpor-
tation. hut perhaps some day science
VIII overcome these handicaps"

Another legal battle for the possess

tain Circuit Court, between Mr.. and
Mrs. a. McHan, of Jasper, Pickens
County, the grandfather and grand
other, and John r. Richards, Jr.. IA
ther of the boy. Judge Reid sat in
the old City Hall Building in Atlanta,
by consent of the parties to the suit.
John B. Richards, Jr., is the man
who was arrested in the vestibule IF
the Jones Avenue Baptist Church
about a month ago in company with a
woman with whom it was charged
he was flirting and spooning.
Case Dates Far Back.
Publicity given this affair caused
the grandfather to make the effort
Friday to get possession of the boy
Richards Jr.'s character repeatedly
has been attacked and defended; the
boy has been shuttled back and forth
between father and grandfather and
the legal fight has swept through the
lower courts to the Supreme Court
back again since August, 1905,
with no settlement yet made.
Fridays hearing before Judge Reid
was precipitated by a writ of habeas
corpus sued out by Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Han praying the court to take the
child from his father and place him
MIR. McHan's care. Mr. McHan's
reason for this request is the alleged
bad character of Richards Jr., which
Richards denies.
Says Mother Gave Him Son.
Mr.. McHan's petition, truth of the
contents of which are denied by Rich

when his daughter, Mrs. Richards,
