WILSON IS BRINGING EN- AROUND
Senators Are Changing Their Posi-
ton On the Canal Toll Question.
Calling Them Into Conference.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-President
Wilson tonight continued his confer
ences with democratic senators who
voted for the exemption of American
coastwise ships from the payment of
Panama canal tolls, talking for an
hour with Senator Smith of Georgia.
Senator Smith afterwards declined
to discuss the conference, but in the
last few days he has made his posi-
ton plain as favoring a repeal of the
exemption clause.
Information sent to the white
house lately from administration
senators has been to the effect that a
strong sentiment prevails for the re-
peal, and that comparatively little
difficulty will be experienced in
bringing it about.

1850 BANK NOTES MISSING.
More Than a Week Treasury Depart
ment Unable to Get a Balance.

Naturally the treasury department
is not satisfied when its books fail to
balance, even if the difference be-
tween the money and the bullion in
the vaults and that represented by
figures in the books is very small.
For more than week the controller
of the currency has been searching
for missing bank notes worth $3.50.
That is a very small sum when COM
pared with the bales and stacks Of
money in the treasury, but it is big
enough to cause worry. If there is
a little leak now, it is always asked,
may there not be a big leak some
day? There is said to be no suspi-
cion that the money has been stolen.

GAME FOR RICH ONLY
is THE STOCK EXCHANGE AC-
CORDING TO TESTIMONY.
tie Pikers" Being "Stung'' Is Not
Too Much to Pay.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-That the
price-the little 'pikers' being
"stung" by operations on the stock
exchange-though big one, is not
too big to pay for the benefit of an
extended market which would be
narrowed by the operation of the pro-
posed law for the regulation of stock
exchanges, today was the position
taken by Henry G. Emery, professor
of economics at Yale, before the sem
ate committee on banking and cur
rency. Prof. Emery insisted that the
benefits of a stock exchange would
be ruined by government regulation.
Oppose Government Regulation.
E. P. Page of New York, mem
Der of the Hughes commission, also
opposed government regulation, al
though he, as we'll as Prof Emery,
admitted some of the evils congress
is seeking to remedy. The real need
for regulation by congress, he said,
was the issuing of securities, and
public opinion was sufficient to keep
the stock exchange straight.
He said the New York Stock EX-
change had adopted twelve out of
sixteen recommendations made by
the Hughes commission, while the
New York legislature had not adopt
ed single one.
Employees Protected.
Young men of no means were pro-
tected from losing money on the
stock EXCHANGE Mr. Paige said he
cause those employed in financial in
stitutions would lose their positions
e their employers learned they were
circulating and because brokers
would not fill orders for such men.
Senator Nelson suggested that
30 per cent margin provision would
rotect young men by acting as a
deterrent, and when Mr.. Paige took
issue with him he replied:
Not For the Poor.
Then you rich men think you
ught to be permitted to handle gun
powder but the poor devils, who like
the game as well as you do, must not
touch it,"
Judge Milburn, counsel for the
New York Stock Exchange, said the
proposed law would be unconstitu-
;ional because it sought to regulate
by subterfuge something that could
lot otherwise be regulated. He OBJ
.lected to the incorporation require
nent, saying if the Stock Exchange
we're incorporated instead of being
merely an association it could not so
rigidly control the actions of mem
oers.

SHIPLOAD OF NEGROES FOR AFRICA
Are Now i'll New York HarbOr Pre-
paratory to Sailing For the
Gold Coast of Africa.

NEW YORK.-A shipload of ne
groes, from Oklahoma, Texas and
Mississippi, waited here today for the
arrival of Alfred C. Sam, who has
planned to lead them to the New Ne
gro Utopia, on the gold coast of At
RIGA.
The negroes have been induced to
como here, they said, by Sam. who
has been collecting colonists, chiefly
in the South, but he expects additions
from Boston and other cities.
Sam, according to the stories told
by the colonists, represents himself
as being an African chief. The col
onists expect to sail in an old ship
which was recently purchased by the
Akin Trading Company. Sam is sup
posed to be the moving spirit in this
concern.

BUILDING TWO BIPLANES
One For the Army and One For the

Factory in California.

LOS ANGELES.-Two bi-planes,
one for the army and another for the
navy, are under construction at a

propelled by an 80-horse power en-
CINE and embodies several new feat
ures of construction, including a
steel armor The machine is con-

SIXTY COWS ARE KILLED.
Infected With tuberculosis, Were
Condemned bY Veterinarian.

Sixty-two mich cows infected with
tuberculosis were put to death Fri
day morning at the Atlanta abat-
toir. These COWS had been condemn
ed by Peter F. Bashnsen, the state
veterinarian. They came from the
dairies in and around Atlanta and in
and around Greensboro.
The loss occasioned by the con-
domination of these cows falls upon
the owners, as the state has never
made provision for compromising
dairymen whose COWS are condemn
ed. One Greensboro dairyman lost
fourteen blooded cows, valued at
about $4,000.

AREPROPERLY TREATED
SAYS GOVERNOR SLATON OF
GEORGIA's 5000 CONVICTS.
Stern Methods Are Necessary to Con-
troll Lawless Men, Declares the
Chief Executive.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-That the con-
Wet camps in Georgia are not half so
bad as they are painted and that
harsh methods and stern men are
necessary in dealing with men who
murder, assault and steal is the
opinion of Hon. John NJ. Slaton,
governor of Georgia, who arrived in
Savannah this morning, the guest of
the Historical Society.
Necessary.
prisoners are a burden on the
taxpayers of the state" said Govern
or Slaton, "and my idea is to make
this burden as light as possible. To
do this it is necessary that they must
do some work, and the road work is
the best for them. Some one has to
do it or the roads will not be passa-
Bile. And certainly there should be
no objection to it being done by men
who owe the state and society debt.
Is Best.
Sunday school methods and Sun
day school men do not know how to
handle these men. They are viola
tors of the law, they have committed
some crime and they should be pun
ished, or the officers of the law will
not be able to control lawlessness.
They have to be dealt with harshly,
or they will take advantage of the
men who have the keeping of them.
1t is stern work and it requires stern
men. 1t is possible some of these
men have overstepped their author
ity, but in a greater number of in
stances the system in our state is
superior to that in any in the nation.
Look For 1t.
when one looks for trouble one
can find it, and that sens to be the
fact in this case. These people have
merely taken the exception and are
trying to make it the rule
Governor SlatOn stated emphati-
calIy that he had neither considered
running for the senate or reelection.
Il have, of course, heard the polit-
cal reports. | have spent a great deal
of time trying to make the best state
in the union a good governor. 1t
keeps me mighty busy at the office
fl ON 9 until 6vo'clock every day, and
l haven't seriously considered any
thing but the work l have q in hand.
Tax Laws.
Asked about the new tax equali-
cation laws he said it was too early
yet to state accurately how it was
being received over the state, but
that for the greater part the people
were inclined to feel kindly for it
and give it their support.
Georgians in Washington and
President Wilson, he said, had GER
tainly made good. 81 cannot think
of a Georgian not making good any
where you place him, but the men
who have been sent to Washington
are making excellent representatives
for the best state in the world"
