CUT ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS
ON NEW AUSTRALIAN SHIP

MELBOURNE. Australia, Feb. 81
The Minister for the Navy J. A. Jen-
sen, in an address before Parliament
has just disclosed the fact that some
persons unknown, but presumably
members of the Industrial Workers OF
the World" cut all the electric con-
nection on board the newest Aus
tralian warship, the cruiser Brisbane,
while she was in the navy shipyard at
Coekatoo Island, Sydney, last fall. Mr..
Jensen said THE persons who did II
are not known but | instructed the
manager that any members Of the ].
w. w. found working at the island
should be dismissed. In addition to
the cost of repairing the serious dam
age done the department has been put
to a great deal of expense in provid-
ing special detectives at the yard"
Special interest attaches to the Bris-
ban because she is the first armored
cruiser to have been constructed en-
tirely by Australian labor.

JUDGE SPEER DOES
NOT ALLOW PLEA Of
BANKS DIRECTORS

MACON, Ca, Feb. 3.-That the
charges and prayers of the stockhold-
ers of the Americas National bank are
significant and apparently meritor-
ious." was the opinion of Judge Emory
Speer today in overruling the motion
Of the directors to dismiss the stock
holders bill in equity for $372,651.75.
The directors sought to have the bill
dismissed on the grounds of lack OF
equity, contending a complete and ad-
equate remedy is provided by law;
that the stockholders failed to set forth
specific incidents of negligence against
the directors, and on other grounds.
The bill was dismissed as to Pres
ident l.. A. Lowery, resident of Chi
cago, as the district court is without
jurisdiction.
Nj. M. Lowery, cashier of the bank,
was convicted of misappropriation OF
funds in the United States court here
in 1915, but has never served any OF
his sentence of five years. A motion
for a new trial in his case was pending
Before Judge w. W. Lambdin at the
time of his death.
Judge Speer's opinion reads in part
THE president selected was resi-
dent of distant state; no bond was
required of the cashier; the assistant
cashier was VIGOROUSLY profigate; he
was the principal agent of the bank.
The officers and directors approved
loans to iraolvents. The cashier and as
sistant cashier were allowed to pay
cverdrafts to irresponsible persons to
the amount of $8O,716.47. Large loans
were authorized In excess of the 10
per cent limit of the capital stock. A
number of those were to director. IL
legal dividends were declared at meet
ings of the directors where defendants
we're present. There is much else in the
bill indicating such reckless misman-
agement that inquiry whether the dt.
rectors are chargeable with resulting
loss seems demanded by equity. This
is not an action by individual stock
holders to redress individual injuries.
Ii is brought, and the suit is prop
erly filed, in equity. For the purpose
Of this motion, all the averments of
the bill must be held to be true"

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
At WORK FOR DAY
Of BIC EFFORTS

Local Sunday school workers are
preparing 10 make Go-to-Sunday
School Day. February II, the greatest
day in the history of local Sunday
schools. Every Sunday school worker
in the city is working for the attend
ance record. Every Sunday school in

erage attendance February 18th.
February II will be Go-to-Sunday

cry Sunday school in the state is work
ing to establish new attendance rec
ord.
]. H. Therrell, field secretary for
Georgia, is leading in the Go-to-Sun-
day School Day campaign. He has

gram printed and is distributing these
to all the Sunday schools in the state.
He is also sending out other literature
urging the Sunday schools wor work
for a record attendance on February
18th, next Sunday.
Recognizing the Importance of the
Go-to- Sunday-School Day plan, Gov
ernor Nat E. Harris has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation:
Whereas, The supreme need in our
state today is that the forces which
make for character and Christianity
shall control the forces which make for
Intelligence and patriotism; and
Whereas, No study is more import
ant to the people than the study If the
Bible and the truths which it teaches;
and,
Whereas, In an effort to produce
such Christian character through the
study of Gods word, the Georgia uSn-
day School association has appointed
February II. 1917, as the third annual
Georgia o-Sunday-School Day;
and,
Whereas, All denominations which
have Sunday schools will observe this
day with appropriate exercises and are
issuing invitations to all our citizens
to attend Sunday school; and,
Whereas, All those who desire a
Christian citizenship for our state are
invited to join in hearty support II
the movement which it is believed
makes for character and Christianity
Therefore, l, Nat E. Harris, Gov
ernor of the Commonwealth of Georgia,
call upon all Georgians who unite In
that belief, as well as visitors within
our borders, TO attend Sunday school
n the church of their choice on Feb
cary II, 1917.

gency, the class of 1913 is now under
