UNCLE SAM PLANS MAIL
DELIVERY BY AEROPLANE
DEPARTMENT WILL OPEN BIDS
FOR CARRYING THE MAIL IN
AIR ON EIGHT ROUTES.

WASHINGTON.-The postoffice
department will on Friday open bids
for carrying the mails by aeroplane
on eight enumerated routes, one from
Bedford, Mass, to Nantucket, and
the other seven over mountains in
Alaska. 1t is expected that competi-
tive bids will be filed and that the
plan will go through unless the ex-
pense is prohibitive.
The postoffice chiefs are seeking a
way out of the dilemma of crossing
the treacherous waters between Nan
tucket and the mainland, and cross
ing the mountains of Alaska. Wind
velocities are high in all of the eight
routes for which the aeroplanes are
wanted. 1t appears that the wind and
cold are not feared by the experience
ed aviator of today. Extremely dense
fog. it is understood, might bring
some delay in the service.
Over the New Observation-Disclosures
route and the route from Valdez to
Fairbanks the maximum load is
placed at 5000 pounds. Upon the
other Alaska routes the maximum is
from 1000 to 1000 pounds. While a
ton and half appears to be a heavy
carrying weight it is shown by re-
ports from abroad that the war
planes are capable of carrying in ad-
dition to fuel and aviator an even
larger weight. In the past the Unit
ed States mails have been carried by
aeroplanes many times, but never
regularly over authorized mall

TO CHURCHES AND CHARITY
FRIENDLESS TO BENEFIT FROM
MISS CATCHINGS. LIFE IN
TEREST TO OVERSEER.

GEORGETOWN, Ga.-The Home

Remedies for the serious shortage

the annual convention of the Ameri-

The method advocated by the ma

size.
Besides the question of white paper
other matters regarding the rapidly
increasing cost of producing news
papers were brought up. Every APP
pliance which goes into the making
of newspapers, it is said, has been in

and all of these increases have added

POVERTY MOSTLY THE
CAUSE OF TUBERCULOSIS
Experts Show That a Large Part of
Those Having Disease Are Poor.

Those Having Disease Are Poor.
. WASHINGTON.-The close rela-
ton of poverty to tuberculosis is en-
phasized in a report made public to-
day by the public health service after
an extensive investigation in many
cities. One-sixth of all tuberculosis
cases, it declares, develop in cheap
lodging houses, and one-ffth are
traceable to exceptional hazards and
bad working conditions.
"The fatcor underlying the entire
problem" says the report, sis SEEM
ingly that of economic conditions. AS
examples of statistics gathered in
Cincinnati and Pittsburg are cited.
In the former city's tenement dis
trict tuberculosis morbidity was
found to be three times as great as
in the better sections and the aver
age monthly income of 1877 families
in which cases were found was COM
puted at $57. Much the same con-
dition was discovered in Pittsburg,
where nearly 10000 factory work
men submitted to physical examina-
tons.

WASHINGTON, D. Cotton IS

of the weather bureau today IN Its
review of the week just past says:
"Much cotton seed has failed to
terminate well, and a general poor
stand is reported because of cold
and dry weather. The warmer wealth
er of the latter part of the week has
improved the conditions somewhat,
but replanting has been delayed IN
fine Southeast because of the lack of
rainfall. Chopping is going on IN

SPEER'S JURISDICTION
WILL BE DECIDED
United States High Tribunal Places
Administrators Named by Ordi-
nary in Charge Smith Estate.

ATLANTA.-In an order issued
this morning by Judge Don Pardee,
in United States circuit court, that
tribunal granted the supersedeas APP
piled for by the administrators of the
James M. Smith estate, appointed by
the ordinary of Oglethorpe county.
The effect of the order by the federal
court to which the appeal was taken
is that the case stands in statu quo
pending the settlement of the con-
tention over Judge Emory Speer's
jurisdiction.
1t does not, as some seem to think,
put he case back in the jurisdiction
of the stat ecourt and take it away
from the United States court, but,
rather, leaves that a question to be
determined.
Removes Speer's Appointees.
1t does, however, remove, for the
time being, the receivers appointed
by Judge Speer and re-establishes IN
possession of the property the adj
ministrators appointed by the state
tribunal
Notice of appeal from the decision
by Judge Speer that he has jurisdic-
ton, which is the first principal point
of contention in the case fought in
Judge Speer's court, was given this
morning and the federal appellate
court allows thirty days in which to
prepare and file the grounds of APP
peal on that point. 1t is, therefore,
assumed that the appeal will be
heard before Judge Pardee about the
middle of October.
In the meantime the administra-
tors as originally appointed will have
control of the Smith estate.

HENDERSON WOULD
EXTEND THE STATE ROAD
PROPOSES TO BUILD A LINE
THROUGH TO JACKSONVILLE
AND LEASE 1T.

An offer to extend the state road
from Atlanta to st. Marys and Jack
sonville, and to back this proposal
with adequate bonds, has just been
made to the Western and Atlantic
railroad leasing commission by the
Ocilla Southern railroad, which runs
from Nashville to Perry, through j.
A. J. Henderson, its president. In
speaking of the plan Mr. Henderson
said:
"The state can build the road to
the sea without costing it one dollar.
Some have suggested that the state
take it's convicts and build it. l be-
lieve the convicts are doing the right
thing in building up the highways.
Let them stay at that work. So let's
meet the proposition squarely and
fairly. Let the free labor of our
state do it; giving them work at such
time as this would mean untold
benefit to the people throughout the
state. georgia can DulIu anu main
tain this road without any cost to it.
1t is worth from $16,000,00O to S25,-
100000 at present, and it will be
worth at least $75,000,000 when it is
extended"
Terms of Proposal.
In part, the proposal Of the Ocilla
Southern follows:
They propose to deliver first-class5
railroad to the state of Georgia and
to accept in payment for the same
S1O,O0O,0O0 of the bonds of the state
of Georgia bearing interest at the
rate of 4 Il per cent per annum ana
maturing in ten year periods OF
equal amounts. The road to be de-
livered to the state before Dec. l.
1919.
They offer to lease the road when
completed for period of fifty years,
and offer to pay for the annual rent
al of the same the sum of $7OO,OOO
for the first ten years; S75O,0O0
year for the second ten years; SSOO'-
600 for the third ten years; $780,,
