PROSPERITY BOOM
BLOOD SOAKED"
Rep. Humphrey Declares War
Saved Panic in This Country

Washington, D. c., Jan. 6.-"Every
that is enjoying even a normal de-
gree of prosperity derives that pros
perity from the awful tragedy that is
now devastating the world" accord
ing to Representative Humphrey, q
Washington republican, who deliv-
cred speech in the house yesterday.
Mr. Humphrey described the present
boom in the United States as 'blood
soaked" and dependent to the full on
the fact that men are being slaugl-
tered by the millions in the war rid
den countries of Europe.
But of this war; cried Mr.
Humphrey, I'VE would today be suf-
fering industrially beyond ina gina
ton and description. We would be
in the midst of panic and poverty that
would make the days Of '93 to 81 look
like greatest prosperity by COMPARE
son.
Fattening on Misfortunes.
The orator from Washington, who
exclains "calanlity' every time he
thinks of the democratic party, said it
could be proved that the United States
is fattening on the misfortunes OF
Europe.
"Where do the products of our
prosperity go today?" he shouted
"Where are they used? Go to Europe,
visit the front where is being waged
the most costly and deadly struggle in
all human history and you will know.
You ride out in an American auto
mobile to the trenches dug with
American tools, lined with America n
New Britain herald., 1916-01-06

on all Gods footstooI but that regrets
the situation that has caused it,
Mr.. Humphrey paid his respects to
the secretary of commerce in this
wise:
Every time a new gun is sold to tn
warning nations of Europe or new
shell is manufactured for them the
secretary of commerce, the officia'
suave, prosperity 'thimblerigger' of
the administration, issues a cheerful
official bulletin that prosperity at last
is coming.
ITO boast of gains gained from cons
ditiOns such as l have described is
abhorrent to all right thinking men.
We might admire and applaud tl.o
physician who worked night and day
for humanity in time of some greilt
epidemic, even if he made money liz
so doing, but we would hate and d =
spise him if he were to boast of the
prosperity that he had coined from
human misery and would consider
him a sordid monster if he rejoiced~
at the calamity that brought him the
opportunity.
1--WE would have something of tho
same feeling of horror and disgust for
any one who would boast of this pros
perity that we would have for the re-
pulsive wretch who boosted of his
wealth when it consisted of the gol
that he had extracted from the teeth
of the grinning skeletons left as tile
grim relics of this awful destruction4
of human life"

ATLANTA REFUSES
TO RECALL MAYOR
Voters Defeat Proposal by to Il
About 5000 Ballots Cast in
Special Election.

Atlanta, Jan 6.-Atlanta voted
strongly yesterday against the recall
of Mayor James G. Woodward and
five m enbers of the police commission
who last September denoted Chief of
Police Beavers after he had closed
the red light district and had begun
a campaign against the locker clubs,
operating in violation of Georgia S
prohibition laws.
Complete returns are not yet in but
on the basis of those received it APP
pears that the recall has been beaten
about to l in a total vote of about
5000.
The demotion Of Beavers caused a
sensation and his friends circulated
recall petitions against the officials
who opposed him. In December the
IS per cent. of the registered votes
required to order a recall was OBJ
tanned and the election was ordered
for yesterday. :.
The campaign has been bitter. the
men and religion forward movement,
the ministers and the so-called moral
forces supporting the recall. Bitter
attacks were made on the chara cters
of the mon who denoted Beavers. The
removal Of the chief was styled
"lynching." The anti-recall was sup
ported by the three Atlanta newspa-
pers and large percentage of the
business element.
It was expected that the Jewish vote
would be cast against Mayor Wood
ward because he defended the lynch
ing of Leo Frank. but this seems not
to have been done.
The Atlanta papers fought the re-
call on the grounds that its success
would brand the city as vicious and
corrupt, claiming that city was be-
ing slandered by the recall forces
The anti-recall forces say the result
does not mean a wide open city The
Atlanta Constitution says:
There is going to be no turning
backward or lowering of the city's
moral Standard Should it be at
tempted, there is none who will be
more speedily or more determnedIy
on the job to stop it short. than the
Constitution. Atlantans must organ
ize for the election of councils and
city administrations which will here
after make a recall election for any
body IMPOSSIBLE

duke HAS BEST
CLAIM ON MARK
FOR 44O YARDS
How Old is Ann? and Who Holds
Record? Are Two Questions
That Must Be Answered

How old is Ann? is a question that
has Outlines been asked, but of late
the query is not strictly up to date
II you want to start something now
adays ask the next person you see
who is the record holder for the 40
yard swim in America. /,
The Official Athletic Almanac
shows that Ludy LANCER has the best
record for the 440 in open water with
time of 5:32 rs. 1t also shows that
Ludy LANCER holds the record for the
distance in a tank at 5:22h-5.
The Hawaiian record gives Duke
Kahanamoku credit for 5:23 40. This
record has not been recognized by the
A. A. U. and is not published in their
last almanac. When the record was
made Lorrin Andrews sent the time
to the secretary Of the A. A. U. The
record was lost, and finally when II
was discovered an error was found
in copying the time from one of the
official timers.
When w +. Rawlins was In New
York he called upon F. w. Ruben OF
the A. A. u, asking him about this
mark Ruben promised that he would
give it his attention, and complete
record OF the time has been forward.
ed to New York
Now Ludy's record of 5:32 1-5 was
broken in February by Duke Kahana-
moku, when the local champion fin
ished the distance in 5:3l 3-5, beat
ing LANCER to the finish. This record
has been recognized by the A. A. u.
and was published in their last state
|ment
Last month at Ocean Park Norman
Ross made the 440 in $40, which bet
tered the time made by Duke in the
February event. Ross made the time
while competing in a mile swim
against LANCER, and the officials
state that the record will be recog-
iiized by the A. A. U. In case the
mark made by the Olympic Club
swimmer is not recognized then Lang
er's mark made on Saturday night on
the harbor will be- the record. His
time was 5;25. But then again the
A. A u. officials may decide that the
error in copying time is allowable and
grant record to Duke. At the pres
emit time the A.. A. %. has not recog-
rized either the record made by Ross
or the mark made by LANCER, so Duke
has the best claim on the A.. A. u.
record. This question has been asked
many times, and the A. A q. officials
In. New York could simplify matters
by granting Dukes mark, and then all
would be well. He has one record
recognized, and another that is held
in allegiance.
