Mime. Be-nhardt must have been I'M
mensely gratihed by the enthusiasm
which greeted her appearance on the
stage in the episode called The Death
Of Cleopatra written for her by Henri
Cain and Maurice Bernhard. since the
audience was made up almost entirely
of her colleagues OF the American stage.
When she arose from her divan to ac-
knowledge their applause many stood
simultaneously to greet their great mis-

ance was emphasized when Rose Coghlan
after the close o, the piece appeared on

NORWAY TO TAKE ACTION

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Sept s.
A bill prohibiting all workers on pub

and sailors of both the fighting and
merchant fleets from consuming in
toxicating liquors during their work
ing hours and also six hours before
they take up their duties has been in
troduced into the Norwegian parlia-
ment 1t is believed that as the ma
jority of the legislators are in favor
cf prohibition the bill will become law
il very short time and may possibly
lead to prohibition throughout the
country.
The measure provides for criminal
prosecution of ogenders against its
articles, the first offense being punish
able by fine and a repetition by i'm
prisonment for maximum term OF
three months and liability to dismissal
without possibility of return to public
service.
Employees on street cars, omnibuses,
taxicabs, railroads and passenger
boats are to be subject to the provis-
ions of the bill, as well as soldiers and
sailors, but the King has the power to
grant dispensation to the officers and
crews of warships visiting foreign
ports where they may be entertained
by the hosts or have to give entertain
ments in return.
Most of the Norwegian steamship
lines already make it a condition OF
their contract with their officers and
crews that they shall totally abstain
intoxicating liquors during their ser.

GERMAN ORGANIZES GREAT
INDUSTRIAL UNION OF MEN

BERLIN, Sept SIN the new Ger
man Union of Technical and Economic
Associations, with its $4,000 members
there has been organized the greatest
industrial body in any country in the
world The members include archi-
tects, engineers, electro-technica ex-
perts, marine engineers, coal and iron
men and chemists.
Planned many years ago, the COM
pletion Of the organization has been
FASTENED by the war, since one of it's
main objects is to prepare for the
great commercial battle which will be-
gin as soon as the military fighting is
at an end.
THIS German Union proposes to
werk in close relation with similar
bodies in Austria and Hungary, the
ultimate aim being to incorporate
them all into Great Central Euro
pean body of enormous extent and
power. 1t is argued that such force
will make itself heard in the settle
ment of the great industrial problems
which will come up after the war and
the governments will be forced to pay
attention to the commercial interests.
And it is also asserted that the mill
tary interests of the tsate will benefit
also from such powerful organiza-
ton as the technical sciences and
chemistry are all the time becoming
more important for the army and
navy and the general defense of the
country.

sentiment in Fulton county, and in
this connection it is interesting to note
that Mayor Woodward was among
teose who were strongly convinced of
the guilt of Leo NJ Frank. OF course,
the mayor did not go around express
ing his views for publication, but it can
be stated as an absolute fact that he
believed Frank guilty.
In declaring himself for Harris,
however, Uncle Jim" makes it plain
that he considers the Frank case en-
tirely irrelevant to the gubernatorial
race and considers it a matter which
shouldh ave absolutely no bearing on
the choosing of chief executive for
the state.
Another very pointed question which
is frequently heard expressed in At
lanta is thus:
Are the people going to turn the
state government over to Tom Wat

feet that the Thomson editor has not
confined himself to supporting Hugh
Dorsey as the standard bearer of our

mony, has been noted at 81 localities
in Alaska, but only few of these have
produced and marketed ore. In 1915
the production of anthony ores was
begun at four mines in the Fairbanks
and two in the Nome district. All the
operations were small and most of
them consisted of digging out the rich
ore near the surface by open cuts ana
of breaking and hand sorting it.
These deposits form the subject of a

volume of nearly 70 pages, entitled
Anthony Deposits of Alaska" by A.
II. Brooks.
According to this report, the Alas
kan anthony deposits may be divide
into three principal groups -siliceous
gold-bearing stibnite lodes, stibnite,
cinnabar lodes and stibnite- galena
lodes. Each of the first two of these
groups is further divided, according
to structure into fssure veins, shear
vein deposits, and stockworks. These
deposits seem to have been formed in
rather recent geologic age, probably
al the time of the intrusion of certain
Tertiary igneous rocks, though no
metalliferous lodes have been found in
the Tertiary sedimentary rocks.

FULTON CLAIMED IN
COLUMN OF HARRIS

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. S.-That Gov
ernor Nat E. Harris will carry Full
ton county against Hugh Dorsey is
now the prediction freely circulated in
political circles, and the Fulton coun-
ty Dorsey organization is making des-
perate efforts to stem the tide which
has been running against the young
solicitor since Governor Harris took
the stump.
1t had been planned to hold the
Dorsey rally in the Atlanta auditorium
next Saturday night, but after a care

eided by Dorsey's advisers to trans
fer the meeting to the Grand theatre,
which is nearer the center of the city

WHY CHANGE GOVERNORS?
Governor Harris: Confederate Sol
der; Jurist; Christian Gentle
man; Statesman.
Shall We Dishonor Such a
Man, a Man Who Has
Done His Duty, By Fail
ing to Reflect Him?

Your Governor, the Governor OF
every man, woman and child in
Georgia, is on trial and stands before
the people of state that he has loved
and served for half century. He
asks that they re-elect him to the
office Of Governor, one which for a
year now he has held honestly, fear
lessly and conscientiously; asks them
only to do for him what Democratic
precedent has made custom in
Georgia-to give to every Governor
four years and which is now advo-
Gated by the majority of the candl-
dates running.
VIII you reject a man whose eX-
Yerience and ability as an able jurist,
and whose long and valuable service
in the legislature amply qualify him
for the position?
Is it wise to substitute now an in
experienced man, one who has never
been tried as Governor, for one who
has consistently devoted every day
for over a year to the position?
Can you afford to neglect man
who has carried on a splendid bust
ness administration, and who, for the
FIRST time in history, had a thorough
audit made Of the states books, thus
establishing precedent for efficient
management of the states funds?
Can you conscientiously dispense
with the services of a man whose
work on the Western & Atlantic Rail-
road Commission makes him best
able to handle the present crisis that
has arisen with respect to this, the
states greatest asset?
Can you afford to help defeat a
man who has thus far successfully
fought the L. g. MS efforts to destroy
the w. & A. R. R. property? Don't
be deceived about the opposition to
your Governor.
Can you deliberately hurt the man
who established the Georgia School
of Technology and is still Chairman of
the Board of Trustees; who is Trustee
Of the University of Georgia (his alma
mater) and of the Wesleyan Female
College, and has always been leader
In Georgia's educational progress?

paid the school teachers of the state
promptly and is doing so now for the
