GAS FUMES KILL GOPHERS
Novel Plan Is Adopted by "A Farmer
Near White.

White, June 11.-While the news
papers are printing columns of advice
to farms as TO how to get rid of go
piers, which do untold injury TO
crops, and some counties are paying
bounties for the killing of these ami
mails, a farmer living near White has
adopted an effective and simple meth
cd of Kidding his farm of these little
crop %destroyers. He carries a bottle
of gasoline and a supply of cotton
batting around with him when he
works in one of his fields. When he
observes a gopher run into its hole
he saturates some of the batting with
gasoline and places it in the hole, COW
ering it over with earth. The gas
fumes penetrate the hole and invar-
iably kill the gophers.

BEAVERS Is REDUCED.
Atlanta Police Chief Disciplined by
Commissioners.

Atlanta, Aug. 3.--James L. Beavers
chief of police of the Atlanta police
department, was found guilty of in
subordination and reduced to the rank
of captain by the board of police com
missioners late today. 1t was an
nounced that tie charge Of ineff1ciency,
also brought against the police head,
had not been sustained.
Disregard OF the boards instructions
and failure to suppress crime were al
legged against Beavers. He had been
head of the police department since
1911 and attracted wide attention in
1912 when he abolished Atlanta's seq
regated vice district and established
"vice squads" to patrol the city.
After Beavers had been deposed, W.
N. Mayo, a captain, was elected to
succeed him.
Beavers announced late tonight that
he would submit a formal refusal of
the captaincy to the police board to-
morrow, but would not indicate what,
if any, otner action would be taken.

female, has no rattles, thus giving no
warning of its deadly strike.

snake it put up a fierce fight, and two
men were required to kill it, and then

teal blockade of the Bahamas to cut
off supplies from tie Confederate
States, are revived to support this as
sertion of right There also are cita-
tions of decisions by the United States
supreme court.
The note was intended to meet the
objection of the united States that
previous British notes had dealt only
with special cases tSat seemed to JUS
tify the British action, failing to an
swer the American contentious that
the whole process of interference with
neutral commerce violates interna-
tional law. After it had been dis
patched to Washington new conditions
arose that determined the British
government to amplify its arguments.
One of the conditions was strong
protest against seizure of the Amer
lean ship Neches Rotteran for New
York with Belgian and German goods.
This made necessary a defense of the
allies right to cut off Germany's ex-
port trade to neutral countries.
The second note deals with tnis is
sue, and it is understood it contends
that an actual blockade of North Sea
ports exists and that, regardless OF
British orders in council, there is an
inherent right in the bIockading pow
ers under international law to sup
press traffic of this kind. While the
controversy is proceeding, unofficial
efforts are being made to release for
the American markets goods now
awaiting export at Rotterdam by prov
ing Belgian origin and American own
ership
The last note of the series replied
to the American caveat Of July II,
saving the United States would be gov
erned only by the principles OF in
ternational law in dealing with de-
tenaions. the British foreign Office
holds that the orders in council COM
ply with the spirit of international
law. though it is admitted that new
application of these principles has
been made.
British prize court proceedings pro-
voked the American communication.
The British contend that where inter
national issues were pending before
the United States courts that fact has
been recognized by the London gov
ernment as reason for deferring
Diplomatic protests. 1t is held that
the United States government can not
assume that it's merchandise has SUI
fered permanent injury since there
is always the right Of diplomatic re-
view of prize court decisions and even
of arbitration under special treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain.
The German note, continuing the
discussion over the sinking of the
American ship William P. Frye by a
German commerce raider, deals with
the American contention that not only
! international law, but also the treaty
of 1928 between the United States and
Prussia, has been violated. The note
contends that, while the treaty does
confer special privileges and exemp-
tons upon American shipping, these
can be met and the right still reserved
to sink merchant ships on the under
standing to compensate owners there
for.
An answer to the British notes soon
will be forthcoming, but predictions
are lacking as to the course to be
taken in regard to the German note.

THREE ARRESTS FOR
 ASSAULT ON GRAHAM
w. M. Hanson, Albert Key and Robert Key Put Under Bond By Detec-
 tives Williams and Taylor

Detectives Williams and Taylor yester- day arrested three men in connection with the assault on Charles Graham last Sunday at East Lake, and put the charge of assault and battery against two of them, while the third was charged with assault and battery and assault with a weapon.
 Those arrested are w. M Hanson, Fifth avenue and Thirty-ninth street Albert Key, Thirteenth avenue and Twenty ninth street; Robert Key, Thirty-first ave- nue and Twenty-ninth street. Hanson was the man arrested on the two charges by the detectives, it being alleged that he is the one who dealt the blow which fractured the skull of Graham.
 All of those under arrest said that they would have surrendered to the authori- ties had it not been for the publicity given the assault by the newspapers. They deny that they were in fault and say that the whole affair was provoked by Graham and that they acted in self defense.
 Graham is still confined in McAdory s infirmary although he is expected to re cover. The men under arrest will prob ably be given a trial as soon as Graham is released from the hospital.

THINK THE PRESENT
 Is BEST TIME ID BUY WATERWORKS PLANT
James Weatherly Explains Why City Notified Com pany of Intention to
 Purchase Plant

Because advice of business men was to the effect that the present was an ideal time to purchase the plants of the Bir- mingham Waterworks company under the option of the recent contract made be- tween that company and the city, is the reason the city commission decided to notify the water company of it's intention to buy. according to statements made yes- terday by City Commissioner James Weatherly.
 Business men of Birmingham who had every reason to know what they were talking about advised us that under pres ent conditions the waterworks company could be purchased at a lower figure than probably at any time ever again, ' said MT. Weatherly. For that reason we decided to notify the company. as required in the contract. of our inten- ton. The company now has four months time in which to prepare for the pur- chase, at the end of which time they must either submit to us a price or ask for a board of appraisers. Should the price they submit to us not be satisfactory, we could also ask for board of appraisers.
 There is no bluff about it; we mean business. Sale of $4,5O0.OO0 or 5000, 600 worth of bonds to buy the water plants will be an easy matter at this time. l believe that authorization of the bonds by the people will be just as easy.
 "It will take 12 months at the least to consummate the negotiations of the pur- chase. We want the waterworks-I mean the people when I say we-that's why the commission decided to waste no more time in getting the process started
 The contract recently signed by repre- sentatives of both the waterworks com pany and the city provides that any time m until 1921 the city has the right to exercise an option to buy the plant. II the price cannot be agreed upon and the work of a board of appraisers fails to bring the two parties together, then the city cannot buy the plant until after 1921, when the franchises of the company be- gin to expire.
