youngest daughter of Mrs. Ada Jane

charming young woman, who though
well fitted to grace society, has tastes
for work that counts and has been
actively interested in war relief work,

though a very modest unassuming
young man. has been for some time
chairman OF the board of directors of
the Thomas A. Edison interests.
While his tendencies are not exactly
similar to his illustrious father, he
has many of his fathers mental hab-
its and there is good reason to ex-
pect career for him equal to the
elder Edison. Experienced business
men have said he has the oldest bus
mess head Of any man Of his age to-
day. Mr.. and Mrs. Edison leave next
Monday for the north, accompanied
by Mrs. Thomas A. Edison, and will

American Soldiers Killed in Bloody Trench F1gh
JUDGE NEWMAN DENIES
COURTS JURISDICTION
State Courts He Says, Can
Only Handle SheriffS Grove
and Galloway

Judge William T. Newman, in the
United States district court decided
Thursday morning that he has no juris-
diction in the cases against Sheriff w.
A. Grove, of Hall county, and Sheriff
w. W. Galloway of Barlow county.
The cases were taken under advise
ment by Judge Newman last Saturday,
following a hearing on the petition fill
ed by United States Attorney Hooper
Alexander, asking that the sheriffs be
cited for contempt of court for allow
ing proisoners held in their custody to
be at large frequently when they should
have been serving their sentences
During the trial evidence was intro
duced by attorneys for the sherlfts to
show that some of the prisoners were
allowed to leave the jails by permission
granted by Judge Newman. In one case
prisoners wife was about to undergo
an operation and her husband was al
lowed to visit her at the hospital.
Il have no authority under the law
to hold Sheriff Grove or Sheriff Gala
way for contempt and it is my opinion
that the cases can be handled only by
state officials said Judge Newman, IN
announcing his decision.
Judge Newman said, however, that he
would grant an order to remove all fed
eral prisoners from the Hall county
and Barlow county jails to the Fulton
county Jail.

100000 INCREASE IN
COTTONSEED PRODUCTS
Prof. RaSt Tells Agricultural
Workers. Convention of
1917 Progress

The increase in the value OF cotton
seed crushed in Georgia is expected to
amount to $4,000, 900, according to Prof.
10y f. Rast, of the State College of
Agriculture, speaking Wednesday be-
fore the Southern Agricultural Workers
in session at the Piedmont.
Prof Rast said that the oil mills
of the state had agreed to purchase all
high oil-producing cotton seed at pre-
MUM if grown in sufficient quantities
to market it in carload lots. This means,
Prof. Rast continued, that seed market
ed in such quantities next fall will be
bought on analysis of oil content. This
will be the means, he said. of eliminat-
ing inferior varieties and that it will
SIS per ton. Since, he pointed out, Geor-
gia brushes 500, 900 tons of seed annual
ly, this will result in the addition Of
$4,000, 900 to the value of the cotton
crop. much of which amount, he con-
tinued, will he paid directly to the
farmers.
Other speakers at the meeting
Wednesday afternoon were o. NJ. Shedd,
of Lexington, KY, who described the
relation of sulphur to soil fertility; r.
Y Winters, of Raleigh, n. c., who told

700, 900 Go on Strike

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-(Summary of

many, and especially in the industrial
sections of the north, the strike move
ment is spreading and more than 700,-
900 workmen are reported idle. Strikers
and soldiers are reported to have col

were lost. In several instances the
troops are said to have refused to fire
on the strikers.
Hamburg and Berlin appear to be the
most seriously affected. The workers
in government and private do ekyards
at Kiel have Joined the movement as
have more workers in the industrial
cities and towns along the Rhine andA

British newspaper correspondents in
Holland are uncertain whether the

DR., Hartman Places This In
depreciation Thursday Aft
ernoon on the Ruling of Mr.,
Garfield

State Fuel Administrator L. G. Hard
man Thursday afternoon interpreted the
ruling of the national administration to
order merely forbids use of fuel" to
mean that any and all industries may
operate on fuelless Mondays provided
no fuel is burned
With this Interpretation DR.. Hardman
expressed the hope, that various mer-
chants would close as an evidence of
patrio tism.
All stores may sell whatever they
please provided they do not burn fuel.
Dr. Hardman said The Garfield order,
however, had called for a series of "holi-
days" and he hoped these would be OBJ
served.
The Garfield order, he said. states
that drug stores can remain open, burn
ing fuel, for the sale of drugs and med
ical supplies only, and food stores for
food only, DR.. Hardman said
Asked whether drug stores, soda foun-
tains and restaurant cigar stores. whose
operation would require no extra
amount of fuel, could continue theiy
business, DR.. Hardman said: 1T looks
that way"
No fountain or cigar stand so operat-
ing, he said, would be prosecuted. al
though he had suggested that they close
as evidence of patriotism.
Hydro Plants to Run
The question as to whether hydro
electric plants should operate on fuel
les Mondays, along with allied prob
lens as to the operation of various bus
inesses when no fuel is used, were con-
coded Thursday by all concerned to be
definitely settled following official word
from Washington that the order of Ma
tional Fuel Administrator Garfield mere
ly forbids the use of fuel.
DR.. L. G. Hartman, state fuel admin
istrator, was formally notified to this
effect and made announcement of re-
ceipt of the ruling from Washington
At the same time DR.. Hardman issued
a statement replying to his critics who
have charged that he erred in his ruiz
ing of last week that hydro-electric
plants must close
The statement of DR.. Hardman in
sisted that the administrator took just
the steps that kilograms from National
Garfield indicated ne
should take. In support of this the
messages from the national administra-
ton were submitted.
Orders of the fuel administration, DR..
Hardman stated, are issued from Wash
ington and the various state admins
traitors issue rulings on them.
Original Ruling
Immediately after the original order
of DR.. Garfield was issued. DR.. Hard
man was called upon, he said, TO rule as
to the effect of the order on hydro-elc-
trically operated plants and ruled that
they could operate under water or ,hy-
power alone, using only
enough steam to prevent damage to
their plants by freezing.
Washington wired him on January II,
DR.. Hardman says, confirming this rul-
ing, but on January %, after mills had
been operating in Georgia under hydro
electric power. Washington wired him
to use your best efforts through public
sentiment and through the press to have
