EMERGENCY TAX
UNTIL DEC. 1915
PASSED 1Y HOUSE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
house last night by a vote of 205 to
1S9 passed the joint resolution extend
ing the emergency revenue tax until
December 81, 1916. The senate is ex-
pected to take like action in day or
two.
The law is expected by administra-
tion leaders to bring revenue into the
treasury at the rate of $S2,000.O 900 a
year.
The republicans, voting solidly
against the resolution, were ioined by,
the five progressives and five demo-
crats-Callaway, Texas; Hilliard and
Keating, Colorado; Buchanan, Illinois,
and Wingo, Arkansas. Several pro-
posed amendments to shorten the pc
riod of extension were voted down.
Representative Kitchin, of North
Carolina, in his first speech as major
ity leader, told the house that unless
the law was extended the treasury
would face a deficit of more than $751;.
100000 at the end of the next fiscal
year.
We democrats know that no tax is
popular in time of peace" he said
but we would be unworthy of the
record of the democratic party under
this administration and this congress
IL we did not have the courage and
patriotism to arrange sufficient rev
enues to meet the governments abso-
Lutte necessities"
Minority Leader Mann urged that
extension for shorter period was pre-
ferable and former Speaker Cannon
suggested an issue of Panama canal
bonds to meet the deficit.
1t is expected that a general pro-
gram of revenue legislation which may
involve revision of the emergency tax
law, will be worked out by demo-
cratic leaders soon after the holiday
recess, which probably will begin Sat
urday.

GEORGIA BUSINESS
MEN To HAVE CAMP

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 17.-Fort
Oglethorpe, Ca, has been selected as
the site for military training camp
similar to that conducted last summer
at Plattsburg, N. Y, under the direc-
ticn of officers of the regular army.
The Inauguration of this civilians
camp proved highly successful at
Plattsburg and attracted leading busi-
ness men from New York, Philadel-
phia and other eastern cities. Mayor
Mitchell, of New York city, was one of
the "privates." The camp at Fort
Oglethorpe will undoubtedly attract
many leading citizens of the south
east. 1t will be the only one held
this year in this territory.
Confirmation of this report could not
be obtained today at the war depart
1uent, but it is undeniably correct.
Accommodation are available at
Fort Oglethorpe for one full regiment,
if not for two. The volunteer sold
iers" will live in tents and undergo
rigid routine duties, including setting
VI exercises, drills and digging mill
tary trenches.

ANCONA REPLY IS
HERE AND LIKELY.
BEFORE CABINET

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
reply of Austria-Hungary to the note
from the United States on the sinking
of the Italian steamer Ancona, was
received by the state state department
during the night, and the translator
Immediately began work on it in ali
erdeavor to have it ready for the cab
met meeting at II o'clock Friday.
The note is about one. thousand
words long, and if the text is like the
press expects, it is virtually certain
that another note will be sent demand
ing an immediate compliance with the
provisions of the first note.
When the cabinet met this morning
the translators had not finished their
work on the note. While the cabinet
officials were in session the transla-
ton was prepared and Immediately
rushed to Secretary Lansing.
The cabinet discussed the note for
an hour. Secretary of State Lansing
said that he did not know when the
text would be made public. A few
minor points, probably due to errors
in transmission, will be cleared up be-
fore an answer is sent.
The situation will not keep the pres
ident from his honeymoon trip. He
will be married Saturday.

THOUSANDS HAVE
BEEN CAP TURED
OF TEUTON FORCE

One of the most striking features of
today's war news is the report from
Marseilles that when the Serbians
were being driven out of their coun-
try they captured more than forty
thousand invaders. The Marseilles dis
patch says that that number arrived
there en- route to the-~concentration
camp.
Further particulars regarding the
Italian force sent to Albania with the
presumed purpose of cooperating in
the Balkan operations state that a
number of troops have already landed
at Avlona, and that the army. numbers
thirty thousand The landing of these
forces presages operations on large
scale, the military correspondent be-
lieves.
Of the large force of Greek troops
stationed at Saloniki, only one regi-
ment Of engineers remain. The Greek
army headquarters have been movd to
Kozhana, fifty-five miles southeast of
Monistir.

BURLEsON WORKS.
GEORGIAN REL|EFs.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IT,
Postmaster General Burleson has
called on Senator Hardwick and at
tempted to convert him to the idea
that the consolidation of rural mail
delivery routes into motor vehicle
routes in Georgia is an Improvement
rather than detriment to the serv-
ice. Following the conference Sena-
tor Hardwick called on several Geor-
git members of the house and pre-
scented the postmaster generals
views. The house members, however,
expect both Senators Hardwick and
Smith to go with them to see the
postmaster general and demand that
the old routes be restored.
The postmaster generals arguments
SO far have not swerved the Georgians
from their intention of protesting Wig
orously against the new routes. Sena-
tor Hardwick, like the representa-
tjyes, is committed to course of op-
position to the motor service, having
contributed an article on the subject
to rural delivery publication.

PRISON BOARD IS
SLOW ON GODBEE
AND STRIPPING

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 17.-Mrs. Edna
Perkins Godbee will not be free wo-
man by Christmas. and it now appears
as If Thomas Edgar Stripping will not
have his case acted on before Chris
mas.
The state prison commission has an
nounced that 1t has postponed indef-
lnitely action upon the pardon petf-
ton Of Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbee.
serving life sentence at the stats
penitentiary for the killing Of her huIb-
banad. Walter s. Godbee and hin
youthful second wife, at Millen, Ga.
some time ago. This means that Mrx.
Godbee will get no pardon for Christ
mas.
A petition in Mrs. Goddess behar
was presented to the prison comnis-
sion about ten days ago, and at thsk
time Mrs. Sarah Griner, Of Kansas
City, Mo-, daughter of Mrs. Godbee.
asked the commission to release her
mother in time to spend Christmas af
her home. 1t had been intimated thar
the commission would likely do Ills.
In fact there was reason to believe
that the commission would send fav-
orable recommendation to the COVER
nor in her case before the end Of the
present week.
The Godbee petition will not now be
acted upon before the first meeting az
the commission next year, it is an
nounced, and definite action thereon
may not occur until a second indict-
met still pending against Mrs. Goddess
ad charging the murder Of Judges
Goddess second wife, Mrs. Florencs
Godbee, is disposed of, by noll pros
or otherwise.
There is also small hope of a par
don for Edgar Stripping in time for
Christmas, 1t appears. A recommen-
dation upon the Stripping pardon ne
t'tion had also been expected thix
week, but 1t was announced that this
decision from the commission will nox
re Forthcoming this week either.
Governor Harris, last summer, az
the state prison, promised the young
daughter of Stripping that he wouIa
pardon her father before his term an
governor expires. 1t is known that
Governor Harris had hoped that he
would receive recommendation in the
STRIPPING case in time to execute his
promise before Christmas, and the
governor anticipated several days ago
that there was strong likelihood that
he would receive the recommendation
this week. The development that
there would be no recommendation
this week came as surprise to the
governor.
Members of the prison commission
today stated that they did not know
whether the rush of business before
tie body would allow them to renders
decision in the Stripping case before
Christmas or not. The strong indica-
tions are that Stripping will not get
one way or the other
until after the first of the year, and
maybe not for a long while after the
first of the year.

Mesa News Notes

The experiment of eradicating the harvester ant with dynamite, which is to be made at the w. H. Allen ranch on the '30th of this month, is already an engaging topic among the farmers. And from the interest shown by them at present there will in all probability be a large number of them present when the experiment is made.
 It is understood that Farm Ad- visor James A. Armstrong is making the test by way of demonstrating the practicability of the method, and in case it is proven successful, the relative cost and other detail to be compared with the method now in use.
 The w. II. Allen rancE is located one-half mile west of the transmits sion line on the base line. The dem onstration is to be made Monday afternoon.

The Lion

The 'Unbroken Road' is the fea ture at the Lion today and tomorrow. It is an adaptation of the great stage success by Prof. Thomas W. Dick inson. Mary Nash, late star of the Belasco forces, supported by William H. Tookes and Alexander Gaden, present this wonderful story III d pleasing and appealing manner
 In the prologue the woman, buff feted by the heavy waves, is cast upon the Rock of Ages, exhausted and beaten. She finally sinks into the bosom of the ocean, signifying one possible end for a woman sunk into the depths of sin.
 The production itself deals with the intrigue of political bosses who seek to down Governor Radford, making capital out of the shattered reputa- ton of a woman, betrayed by the son of a political boss.
 In the epilogue the woman, strug- gling against temptation, follows the Unbroken Road to the Garden of Virtue, and there is received by the Vestal Virgins, who strip off her clothes SIS a woman of the streets and dress her in the garb of a virgin. In addition to a remarkable story remarkably presented, the production contains scenic and light effects of an unusual sort.
