GARBAGE PERFUMES THE AIR
WHILE MEN WAIT FOR RAISE
Still garbage perfumes the air and
the germs continue their frOIic. Eight
hundred city garbage teamsters went
on strike yesterday with the demand
Of 81 more per day in wages.
Aid. MichaelsOn submitted a resO-
luton to the council authorizing this
increase of near One-qUarter of a mil
lion dollars a year. 1t was referred
to finance committee.
Health COm'r Robertson says the
solution of the garbage question is
reduction of garbage.
In Paris, he said, "the amount of
garbage averages One-quaTter pound
per family. In Chicago it amounts
to one pound per person each day.
This amount could easily be reduced
to half and garbage could then be
burned"

ELECT sTEDMAN! is CRY OF
VOTERS LEAGUE

The Legislative Voters league has
issued a special statement to the
voters of the 18th senatorial district
urging the breaking down Of parti-
san lines and the election Of Seymour
Stedman as state senator.
In its report the league says:
Seymour Stedman, Soc. candi-
date, lawyer; Stedman was member
of the 4Sth general assembly and
during his single term became one
of the leaders of the lower branch.
He has been a close student of leg
islative affairs for years. He is a man
of high character and has attained
success in his profession. All class
es of citizens should support, regard
less of party lines.
albert c. Clark, former senator,
who is the Republican candidate, is
branded as a 'standpatter' During
his three former terms he lined up
against civil service and advanced
governmental ideas, according to the
league.
John NJ. Berg, the Democrat, is
a young man of no experience in leg
islative affairs"

TEACHERS TO KEEP CONTROL
OF OLD-AGE MONEY
The Chicago teachers pension
fund, now close to 100000, is still
under the control of the 5000 public
school teachers of Chicago. The at
tempt Of the Jake Loeb majority of
the school board to wrest this con-
troll from the teachers was defeated
yesterday before the house munich
paities committee. The vote was II
to 10 If it had got by and become a
law it would virtually have placed the
investment of pension funds in the
hands of appointees of the school
board, which is itself appointed by
the mayor. The teachers ballot once
a year and elect six members to the
pension board. The school board
appoints three members.

$4,000 IN NOTES
RETURNED|NNEN.
RAILROAD DEAL.

Notes aggregating $4,000 given in
payment of stock subscriptions for the
new Americus & Atlantic railroad,
which is to be built into this city from
Games, Ca, on the line of the A, B.
a. A. railroad, have been returned to
Americus citizens who supported the
campaign inaugurated several months
ago to bring the road to Americus.
The road is to be constructed through
to Americus as soon as material can
be secured, and other necessary de-
tails perfected. The grade has al
ready been completed as far as the
Methvin store in the 2Sth district, and
the trestle across Flint river at Cop
peras Bluff has been finished for sons
time. Trains are now operated from
Games as far as the Sumter county
bank of the river, and watermelon
shipments will be moved from the 2Stf
district this season.
The return of the stock subscrip.
tion notes is made possible from the
fact that the directors of the road
who comprise some of the best known
business men of this city, have taker
up the amount of stock required by
the promoters in order to bring th'
road to Americus.
This is, perhaps, the first time in th'
history of railroad construction in th'
South, or possibly the entire country
that stock pledges have been volunta
rily returned by the promoters.
Negotiations for the construction o
the Americus & Atlantic as far as thi
city have been in progress for man,
months, the Chamber of Commerc
taking the proposition up and handling
the various phases of the matter. Th
final conclusion OF the arrangement
for the new road was brought abou
only few days ago, and it was foun
that the return of the $4,000 in stool
subscription notes would be possible
without affecting the success of thu
deal.

CENTRAL MAY CUT
COLUMBUS SERVICE

The discontinuance of trains No. )
and No 6 on the Central of Georgia
railway, operating between Americus
and Columbus, is aimed at in the pc
tjtion now before the railroad commits
sjcn to permit such a reduction in the
passenger service of the road.
The train designated arrives here at
IL a. m. and leaves at p. M, and
since the elimination of the mail SER
vice on this schedule the officials OF
the road have considered discontinu-
ing the run. The present campaign
started by practically all roads in the
country to cut down passenger service
in order that better facilities may be
available for the transportation o.
t, oops. war material and shipments OF
this character, brought the matter of
passenger service between Americus
and Columbus once more into the lime
light.
1t is possible that the train will no.
be discontinued, and that the road Will
withdraw its request now before the
railroad commission, but indications
are that an effort will be made to Gu.
down the service TO this degree.

Internal Situation Discussed.

PARIS, June 1S.-Some light is
thrown on the present situation in
Spain, which has been the cause OF
misgivings recently, by special cor
respondent of the Petit Parisien, who
has been making an investigation here
He wires the following summary OF
the situation, which made the position
of the late cabinet untenable, and pre-
sents an acute problem for the new
ministry.
First of all the situation in Catalonia
is critical The inhabitants are arous-
ed against the government and are agi-
tating insistently for complete inde
pendence. One faction openly declares
in Barcelona newspaper that it will
obey no law not passed by Catalonia
fer Catalonians and demands independ
ence at any price.
Aside from this local situation, tbs
correspondent finds that the economic
state of affairs in general demand:
speedy action by the cabinet. Strike
are imminent, especially in the Astur
las and may break out tomorrow
Strikes are under discussion by al
railroad employees and most of the in
dustrial workers. The cost of living
has advanced Is to % per cent in the
last three months and now the poor
can no longer endure the strain.
The supply of coal is so scanty thai
it is almost impossible to operate
trains. Stagnation of export trade, ow-
ing to the submarine warfare, is re-
sulting inegrowing irritation.
Finally there is the external situa-
ton, which everywhere is recognized
as grave for Spain, and which. thu
correspondent says. is made infinitely
more troublesome by German espion-
age, German intimidation and the Ger
manophile press, which has wounded
and antagonized Spanish pride.
Notwithstanding these difficulties, the
correspondent wires, Spain believes
confidently the new premier will be
able to find a solution
