MACHINE GUNS OF
THE ALLIES TAKEN
OVER BY THE u. S.
Output of Factories Is Com
Wandered to Get Lewis
Weapon, Turned Down by
Officers When Offered Them
First
BY z. M. KERBY

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. June 30-After
turning down the Lewis machine gun. IN
vented by Col. Isaac n. Lewis, Uncle
Sam is now forced to commanders the
supply of Lewis guns being manufact-
ured for the allies in order TO supply the
troops going into Mexico
The scandal of the Lewis gun has been
hanging over the board of ordnance ana
fertilization for years. Col. Lewis was
unable to get the army officials to accept
his invention, and was forced to go
abroad.
Now. the Lewis gun is the main re-
lance of the allies in the European war.
Except for machine guns, the United
States army is equipped with SUFFICIENT
reserves of arms and ammunition, or
else has the requisite capacity for quick
ly manufacturing the needed munitions.
But of machine guns, less than half
the required number are available. The
war college specifications call for IL ma
chine guns for each regiment. The army
now has between LIDO and 200 machine
guns and needs $500.
In order to get them the ordnance bu-
reau of the war department has COM
Wandered the entire supply Of machine
guns being made by three manufacturers
for the allies.
They have been ordered to turn over
the entire product of their factories to
the army. These guns are of three types:
the Benet-Mercier, the Vickers-Maxim,
which are made by the Colt company at
Hartford Conn, and the Lewis gun made
by the Savage Arms company at Utica,
New York.

AGED VET WALKS
MANY MILES TO SEE
JAILED DAUGHTER
Jim SayIor Appeals to Atlanta
Tailor for Bed and Food and
Tells Pathetic Story of Inn
priSOned Child

His shoulders were broad; his chest
was sound and his walk was perfect.
He was a Confederate veteran; his
hair was solid gray.
He was seventy-five years old but he
didn't show it.
Walking into the office of the warden
at the Tower last night, this man, Jim
Saylor. of Rome, Ga, who enlisted with
the Thirty-fourth Georgia regiment in
1861, and served throughout conflict, told
a most pathetic story of the love of a
veteran for his only daughter and the
hardships to which he had submitted to
get her back home.
Some time back, his daughter. Lula
May, now fifteen years old, got into
trouble with some other girls at Rome.
A free-for-all fight resulted. The girl
was sentenced to the reformatory at
Milledgeville.
Feeling the need in his old age for
his daughter, this veteran made up hts
mind to see the officials at Milledge-
Vile. He had no funds to pay railroad
fare. What else was there to do but
to walk.
The veteran explained that he had
walked to Milledgeville from Rome
and had seen his daughter. He arrived
in Atlanta on his return from Milledge-
Vile. He had walked the entire dis
lance, something like 400 miles in lit
tie more than a week.
The heart of Deputy Warden Foster
Hunter went out to the aged veteran.
He prepared supper for him and pro-
vided a bed for the aged man to spend
the night. others who sympathized
made up a purse to pay the mans fare
back to Milledgevilie.
Saylor said before going to bed that
he intended to go before the pardon
board next week and plead for the re-
lease Of his daughter.

an interesting gathering of farmers in
years as today when strong resolu-
tions were passed and petitions circu-
lated concerning the copper fumes now
af1oat over the country.
Marked criticisms were heard from
many sources at the action Of Governor
Harris in reappointing ]. ]. Brown as
umpire in settlement of claims against
the copper company for damages.
Leading citizens assert that they

The annual fight on the tax equaliza-
ton law of 1913, considered one of the
most constructive pieces of legislation
that has been written on the statute
books in many years, has been renewed.
There seems little prospect. however,
that the law will be either weakened
or repealed.
The first bill aimed at the repeal OF
the statute was that introduced in the
house Thursday by Representative John
w. Bale of Floyd. In the senate a com
panion bill was introduced Friday by
senator Stovan of the Thirtieth.
Both measures are brief and provide
simply for the repeal. of the acts Great

fishing the office of state tax commits

The Joint committee from the house
and senate appointed to investigate the
controversy between the Tennessee Cop
per company and the citizens of north

and plans are under way for trip Of
inspection to the affected area
The house members of the commit
tee appointed by Speaker Burwen, are
Fullbright, Dart, Yeomans of Terrell,
Wohlwender, Redwine. Olive of Rich

The senate members, appointed by

The committee was authorized by
Joint resolution Of the two houses after
Governor Harris, who had been asked
to settle the dispute, put the matter up
to the legislature.
Comptroller General William A.
Wright announced Friday afternoon
that the insurance tax was coming in
rapidly and that by Monday there will
be on hand approximately $4,000 from
that source. This, he says, will be suf-
ficient to pay the expenses of the gen.
eral assembly, amounting to about $70,-
900, and leave enough surplus to take
care Of the July payment of interest on
the bonded debt of the state.
A Joint mass meeting of the Georgia
Farmers union, the railroad brother
hoods, comprising the four big railroad
unions, and the Georgia Federation Of
Labor, will be held at the Fraternity

purchases of gas. their names, residence,
license tag number and date of sale,
meets with the approval OF both houses
of the general assembly, 1t will be a
difficult matter for automobile thieves
to get far with stolen cars
Under the provisions of the bill, the
register will be kept up to date and will
be available for examination by officers
at any time. Thieves. points out SEN

the register system will keep up with
their movements so long as the car is

Two bills for the abolition of pistol
"toting'' in Georgia have been introduced
this session in the house. They are
companion bills. offered by Representa-
tive Dorsett of Carroll county.
There were .fifty-five homicides in
Georgia last year said Dorsett.
Something has got to be done to stop
this"
one of the bills makes il unlawful to
manufacture or carry. whether conceal
ed or not. a pistol less than twenty
inches long and three pounds in weight.
The other bill prohibits the sale of all
pistols.
After adjournment of the legislature
Friday afternoon. the committee on
counties and county matters met and
passed upon a number of bills. Two of
these bills will be recommended for
passage. Both refer TO Appling county
and were introduced by Representative
Johnson. One Of them abolishes the
office of the county treasurer, while the
other amends the act creating the board
OF roads and revenues.
The right of citizens in this state to
vote shall not be denied or abridged
on account Of sex"
This is the woman suffrage amend
posed in the bill introduced in the house
by Representative wohlwender of Mus
cogee. Passage of the act by the gener-
al assembly would put the question to
a popular vote.
The most eloquent speech thus far
delivered in the house was that of Rep
resentative ]. II. Ennis of Baldwin coun-
ty. when he told his colleagues good-by
to go with his company to the border.
As captain of the Baldwin Blues" Mr..
Ennis came TO Atlanta on a forty-eight-
hour furlough to bid farewell to the
other members of the house. His speech
brought forth prolonged applause.

railroad from Atlanta TO the sea is pro-
vided in two bills introduced in the
house One Of the bills gives the w. &
A lease commission power to authorize
the extension; the other provides for a
constitutional amendment authorizing
the state to issue not more than $4,000
900 in bonds to finance the project.
The bill giving the commission the
power to make the extension provides
for the road to go to Savannah, Bruins
wick Jacksonville. or any or all of these
ports. The legislation is designed to
carry out the plans of ]. A. J. Hender-
son, of the Ocilla Southern railroad. The
amount set in the bond issue is that
mentioned by Mr. Henderson in his pro-
posaI to the W. &. A. commission to
finance the extension of the road.
The two bills were introduced by Rep
resentatives Clements of Irwin, McRae
of Wilcox. Stewart of Coffee. Young of
Tiff, Walker of Ben Hill. Sumner of
Worth, and others.
Senator Dewitt Pickett, of the Elev-
enth district, who was in Columbus on
business a few days ago, amused his
colleagues in the senate Friday with
a ditty which he says has become quite
popular In Columbus since the famous
Girard. Ala, liquor raids. 1t ran about
like this:
It's long way to Pensacola,
It's a long way to go;
It's long way 10 Pensacola,
