Several Women Found
Among Irish Prisoners
CBy Associated Press.


HOLY HEAD, Wales (Via London),
May S.-Three hundred more prisoners
from Ireland. of whom 90 were wound
ed. were landed here early today. The
prisoners include a considerable number
of persons evidently of somewhat high
er station that those landed two days
ago. Some Of them were intellectuals
who heretofore have been identified
mainly with the Irish literary move
ment. Others were clerks, sportsmen,
tradesmen or farmers. Most of them
appeared to be greatly exhausted.
Although the prisoners wore mems
clothing, it was reported that several
were women, thirty or forty of whom
have been made prisoner. Only about
per cent OF the prisoners wore the Sim
Fein uniform. There are undoubtedly
many prisoners who are truthful in say
ing they knew nothing Of the impend-
ing revolt when they were mobilized.
whether that will in any way mitigate
their treatment by the government is
not known.
A number of the prisoners indicated
their willingness to turn states evil
dence and it is stated some startling in
formation will come to the government

N0Vy Order Calls
For Granite From
Stone Mountain
(BY RALPH sH1IrH1

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Thanks
largely to the efforts of Congressman
William Schley Howard, the navy de-
partment this morning awarded to the
Stone Mountain Granite company a con-
tract for $4,000 worm of granite to
be used in the construction of the
marine barracks at Norfolk, Va.
The Atlanta congressman was forced
to overcome prejudice and disprove
unfair reports concerning the Stone
Mountain product. The engineer In
charge of the construction at Norfolk
was opposed to the use of the Stone
Mountain granite because he cOntended
it contained too much mica and was an
inferior product. Mr.. Howard disproved
this to the navy department, as he did
recently to the District of Columbia
commissioners, and the engineers re-
port was reversed.
Mr.. Howard showed by bureau stand
ard tests that the Georgia granite is
far superior to the competing stone, and
as a matter of fact that mica is more
evenly distributed and the granite much
stronger in resisting power.
With the reversal Of the engineer the
contract was awarded to the Stone
Mountain company, as it had submitted
the lowest bid.

ApproDes Plan
For Deepening
ChaHahoochee
River and HarborS Board of
Engineers Orders Survey of
Project Which viii Be Begun
at Once
By RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The efforts
of Senator Hoke Smith and Congress-
men Adamson and Howard, cooperating
with the Atlanta chamber OF commerce,
to make the Chattahoochee river naviga-
BILE from Columbus to Atlanta were re-
warded today when Senator Smith was
informed officially that the board of en-
gineers for rivers and harbors has ap-
proved the preliminary report of Major
Brown. L. S. A, and has ordered a de-
tailed survey of the project. Major
Browns preliminary report was favor
able to the project.
THE detailed survey will be made
during the low water period in the
summer months and be begun at once"
1t was explained to The Journal today,
by the board of engineers. Probably
six months will be required to COM
plete the work, following which the
board will take final action with a
view to making its recommendations 10
congress-"
1t was added that the detailed sur
vey would tentatively locate the locks
and dams along the waterway, make
preliminary estimates as to their cost
and the nature of their construction,
and. in fact, cover every material item
respecting the feasibility and cost Of
the entire project, with the ultimate end
in view of making the river navigable
and incidentally developing and conserv-
ing the water power that is now going
to waste.
While the favorable action of the
board of engineers on Major Browns
report Of the preliminary survey,
which was authorized by congress at
the instance of Judge Adamson of the
fourth district, is a long step toward
the ultimate development of the Chat
tahoochee to Atlanta, it does not mean
undertaken. After the board of en-
gineers finally works out the details
of the project, submits it's estimates as
to cost and makes it's recommendations,
it will still remain for congress to
authorize the appropriations necessary
to carry on the work. Upon the Georgia
and Alabama senators and congressman
will devolve the duty of getting the
appropriation through congress.
1t may be assumed confidently that
the project Will not want for support
in this direction. The Georgia and Ala
bama senators and congressman already
have evidenced deep interest in the
project. Congressman Adamson, patron
of the scheme, today was mucn en-
couraged over the PROGRESSES that has
been made and Congressman Schley
Howard, in common with Senator Smith,
entertained strong hopes for the ulti-
mate success of the movement which
will mean so much to the developments
of Atlanta and the territory between
Atlanta and Columbus on either side
of the Chattahoochee river.

WHEAT CROP
BIG FREIGHT PROBLEM
iBy Associated Press. }

LONDON, May The problem OF
transporting the Australian wheat crop
is just now occupying the attention of
the government and the shipOwners.
The eXportable wheat surplus of
Australia is about 100000 tons of
which only about 500, 900 tons have so
far been brought to Europe. To bring
the remainder this year would require
about 700 voyages, and it is difficult
for the owners to find sufficient ships
owing to the general scarcity of ton
mage. The distance from Australia is
about $4,000 miles. as compared with
the 5000 miles which separate Canada
from this country.
The difficulty in transporting the
wheat crop is particularly disappoint-
ing to the Australian growers who in
creased their wheat area over that OF
the previous season by about so per
cent, in spite of the fact that they had
to pay much higher rates for seed, fod-
der and labor.
