Successor to Late President
of Southern.
WILL CONTINUE HIS POLICY

Paying tribute to the memory of WILL
lam Wilson Finley, former president OF
the Southern Railway Company. and
Iauding the wisdom of the board Of direc-
tors in selecting for his successor Fair
fax Harrison, the first number OF the
Southern News Bulletin, issued by the
Southern. the Mobile and Ohio, the Gin
cinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific,
the Alabama Great Southern, the Georgia,
Southern and Florida the Virginia and
Southwestern, the Southern Railway, and
Mississippi Railway companies, yesterday
made its appearance in railroad and COM
mercial Offices here.
MIR. Harrison was one of Mr.. Finley 5
closest and most trusted advisors" says
the Bulletin, regarding the new president,
land he is thoroughly in sympathy with
the policy which made Mr.. Finley's ad-
ministration so successful both for the
Southern Railway and the territory
served by its lines. Though Mr.. Harrison
entered the service of the Southern in the
legal department, his experience has not
been confined to that branch. He has
given much study to financial, traffic and
operating problems and is intimately ac-
quainted with conditions on the Southern
Railway and throughout the section
which it traverses.
He is peculiarly identified with the
South, as his father was private secre-

MORE MEN OR fewer
Officers FOR Militia
Garrison Turns Down Objection Made
BY State Troops 10 Federal
Regulation.
GEN. cROwDER MAKES RULING

Objections offered by officers of the Ma
tional Guard Association to the policy of
the War Department. in insisting that the
State militia organizations conform to the
requirements of Federal law, are not sus-
tanned by Secretary of War Garrison.
He caused to be issued yesterday a
circular, containing an opinion by Judge
Advocate Gen. Crowder ruling that the
War Department has authority for in
sisting that State organizations conform
to the requirements set forth in the law
or relinquish their right to receive Fed
eral funds for the militia support
1t has been found in many States that
the militia organizations had too many
brigadier and major generals in proper
ton to the number of enlisted militia
men. The War Department has directed
that the State troops be organized into
brigades and divisions. with only such
general officers as might be then needed.
The proper organization of brigades and
divisions has been laid down by the de-
partment.
The National Guard Association claimed
that there is not sufficient authority in
law for defining the organization Of
brigades and divisions and that mas
much as 1t has been physically impos-
sible to secure these organizations in
tne united states ARMY anu as hhe Col-
ditions in many States make 1t physically
impossible for these States to comply
with the provisions of the circular the
circular ought to be withdrawn and re-
voked.
Gen. Crowder concludes that the State
would be warranted in mus
tering out OF their service a major gen.
eral and brigadier general and their
stats IL there did not exist the proper
number of enlisted militiamen to COM
pose a division or a brigade.

WATCH IS kept
FORLEWD CARDS
Work for Posto6ce Depart
ment Told in Annual
Report.
FRAUDS ARE RUN DOWN
More Than 1000 Cases Investigated
in Year-Orders Isued Against
Lottery Concerns.

When does perfectly decent" post
card become Indecent" and to be
counted among obscene and indecent
matter not be sent through Uncle
SANS mails?
This question is well answered In
the annual report of Assistant Attor-
ney General W. II. Lamar TO Postmas-
ter General Burleson, and given out
last night.
Every day of the year there are
numerous post cards sent through the
United States mail bearing pictures
which in themselves are not at all OBJ
jectionable, but the cards are brought
within the inhibition of the law by the
nature of the messages added by the
senders, according to the report.
''Fraud-order work.. the sending or
advertising through the mails of lottery
paraphernalia. fraudulent devices. and
obscene and indecent matter, is the
principal thing that keeps the Assistant
Attorney General busy in his co-opera-
tive work with the Postmaster General.
The following is a summary Of the facts
contained in the annual statement:
More Than 900 Arrests.
During the year more than 1000 cases
Involving schemes to defraud were in
vestigated by postoffice inspectors; in two
years more than 1000 persons were ar
rested for swindling through the mails,
the estimated losses to the public through
the fraudulent operations represented by
these arrests amounting to more than
S29, 900, O60
II is proposed to enforce the statutes
concerning these violations of the law
vigorously and with impartiality, with
a view of ultimately stamping out the
use of the mails for fraudulent purposes.
During the last year orders were issued
against seventy-fOur concerns abroad,
prohibiting the use of the mails of the
United States for advertisements in this
country of foreign lotteries An equally
vigorous prosecution was undertaken
against offenders located in this country
Efforts to sell or advertise through the
mails rattle cards" punch boards"
sIo: machines and similar devices used
for gambling purposes, are still being
made in all parts OF the country, and
much has been done and is being done
by the authorities to curb these efforts
and to prosecute the offenders.
statute%Is Enforced.
Highly beneficial results have been ac-
compIished by the vigorous enforcement
of the statute prohibiting the transmits
sion in the mails OF publications or other
matter containing indecent, obscene lewd
or filthy publications, &c. As a result
the quantity of such Objectionable mat
ter in the mails during the past year
flas been materially reduced.
A In closing, the report states that the
work of the Assistant Attorney Generals
fott1ce has more than doubled since the
5incoming of the present administration,
and by the postal regulations of 1913, the
duties of the office also have been greatly
4 increased.
