SMITH AND HARRIS
HOPING TO SAVE
GORDON IN SENATE
Atlanta Journal News Bureau
623 Riggs Building,
BY THEODORE TILLER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1S.--
hopeful of saving Camp Gordon when
the special army appropriation bill
gets before the senate, it may as
we'll be realized that an uphill fight
is ahead for the army camp at At
lanta. Senator Hoke Smith is quoted
as confident that some way will be
found to retain the camp, but both
of the Georgia senators appreciate
that hard work is ahead of them.
The endorsement Of General Per-
shing will help, but even if the SEN
ate is converted, the house must
yet be persuaded to yield on it's pro-
visfn of the bill ordering that the
camp be salvaged.
Senator Spencer, of Missouri, is
chairman of the senate sub-commit-
tee in charge of the house bill. Gem
eral Pershipg. is also from Missouri,
and it may be that one Missourian
will be able to show the other and
pull Camp Gordon back from defeat.
General Pershing has strongly urged
the retention of the Atlanta post
his recent visit there convincing him
of it's value as a training center and
its possibilities of expansion for di-
Visional use.
The war department, which is
being attacked by republicans from
all sides, is hardly in position to
make a special fight for Camp Cor
don.
1t is believed the department would
dislike to see Camp Gordon aban-
doned, at least until congress decides
upon some definite program regard
ing the size of the army and uni
versal training, but the department
is not in position to take a deter
mined stand. The fight will have
to be waged by Senator Hoke Smith
and Senator Harris, with such as
sistance as General Pershing may
rende ras an expert military man
rather than as a spokesman for the
war department proper.
If a saving clause of some sort
can be put on the Gordon item in
the senate bill, the issue will be
thrown into conference between the
two houses and there will be chance
for compromise. Friends of Camp
Gordon here feel that if the camp
can be retained even for temporary
use, a victory will be won because
there is confidence that as soon as
the present political and sectional
agitation dies down, the military
value of the camp will be more ap-
preciated by its present enemies.

HITCHCOCK CALLS
CAUCUS To SELECT
DEMOCRATIC LEADER
Friends of Senator Under
> wood, Nebraskan's 0ppon-
ent, IncenSed by Call, May
Try to Secure Delay

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-A call
for a conference of Democratic sem
ators Saturday to select a leader to
| succeed the late Senator Martin, of
Virginia, was issued today by Sena-
tor Hitchcock, of Nebraska, who is
contesting with Senator Under
wood of Alabama, for the place.
Settlement of the contest between
Senators Hitchcock, the acting Demo-
cratic leader and chief spokesman
for the administration in the treaty
fight, and Senator Underwood, for
merly Democratic leader in the
house, is the only business to come
before the conference. The outcome
of the contest was said to be in
doubt.
May Try to Delay Vote
Friends of Senator Underwood in
timated today they might endeavor
to postpone a vote until after the
holidays when the full Democratic
membership, including Senator Glass
as the successor to Senator Martin,
is expected to be present. The Ala
bama senator's supporters also were
said to desire disposition of the
treaty before the leadership election
so that the question of indorsing
Hitchcock management of the treaty
might not be an issue.
The action of Senator Hitchcock,
who is vice chairman fthe Demo-
cratic conference, in issuing the call
indicated to his friends that he felt
confident of winning.
Some senators said the leadership
contest might have considerable
bearing on the immediate outcome Of
the treaty controversy. Senators
Hitchcock and Underwood have diff
fered regarding future procedure, the
former opposing and the latter agree
ing to accept as last alternative
the plan of Senator Knox, Republic
can, Pennsylvania, to ratify the peace
tearms of the treaty except the
League Of Nations covenant which
would be left for future considera-
ton. .

House that irrespective of the out

Hitchcock forces have been urging
that the conference be postponed

TOQUIT
SIDE LINES UNDER
DECREE OF COURT

CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-A dozen or
more important side line industries
Of the Chicago meat packers involv-
ing investments of many millions Of
the stipulated decree soon to be en-
tered in the United States court az
Washington on motion of Attorney
General Palmer.
While representatives of the pack
ers today declined to discuss the de-
tails of the decree under which the
packers in the future will be re-
quired to cont1ne the business ac-
tivities to the production of meat,
poultry, butter, eggs and cheese, 1t
was learned from an authoritative
source the outline of the plan HAD
been agreed upon.
Among the lines of business from
which it is said the packers will be
ordered to withdraw under the st1p-
ulated court decree are the follow
ing:
Leather, canned fruits and vege-
tables, soap, cleansing powders,
groceries, fertilizers, cold storage,
fish, refrigerator car lines, cereals,
glue, sporting goods and the control
of stockyards.
One purpose of the proposed reor-
ganization, it is said, is to prevent
the packers from engaging in the
wholesale grocery business.
Swift & Co. already has segregated
its South American and Australian
meat business, it's fruit and vegeta-
BILE, canning industry and its manu-
facture of leather. Wilson & Co. re-
Gently disposed of it's wholesale gro
Gerry lines to a New York firm.
J. Odgen Armour, president of
Armour & Co., said:
81 can make no statement. Any
thing on this subject must come from
the authorities at Washington"
Another official of Armour e Co,
said the reported dissolution twas
purely speculation and that it arose
from the refinancing plans under
considera ton by. the corporations.
Armour & Co. are considering
the annual refinancing of the cor
poration," he said. For several
months this subject has been given
unusual thought due to the immense
sums necessary to finance the COM
ing year. One of these plans consid-
cred, according to the customary ar
rangement, has been segregation. of
the various subsidiary companies.
But up to this time nothing definite
has been decided. Whether Armour
& Co. will look to segregation of its
various branches as the best plan
of financing for 1920 depends on
the money market"

WEST POINT CALLS
HALT III FUND DRIVE;
100000 SUFFICIENT
AtIantians Urged to Pay Up
Pledges at Once-Approx-
imateIy $4,000 Raised
Here for Sufferers

That the courageous city of West
Point will take no more in its dis
tress than it actually needs, was
proven Wednesday when its citizens
committee in charge of flood relief
notified the state that enough money
had been raised to meet the emer-
gency and that West Point wanted
no more.
A total of 100000 in subscriptions
and pledges had been received, stated
the chairman, Phil Lanier, in a tele-
gram sent broadcast, and it was felt
that this was entirely sufficient to
take care Of the situation.
The 100000 includes more than
$4,000 from Atlanta citizens, a sum
that was quickly raised with initial
donations of $4,000 at a mass meet
ing last Sunday afternoon, followed
by generous subscriptions from all
classes of people.
When West Points telegram end
ing the campaign in its behalf was
received Wednesday afternoon, Cen
directing the Atlanta fund, conferred
with Mayor Key and the Chamber
of Commerce and announced that the
campaign for West Point was closed.
However, said Mr.. Hermance,

Atlanta's pledges are counted in the

them is fulfilled Atlanta will fall

included these pledges, and they were
counted in the 100000. We want to
urge every one to send in his check
at once to Henry W. Davis, treas
urer, at the Chamber of Commerce.
I want to thank every person VINO
contributed, regardless of the size of
his subscription. Atlanta certainly
did her share and was prevented
from raising $4,000 only by the tele-
gram from West Point calling off
the campaign"
The telegram from West Point
follows:
WEST POINT, Ga, Dec. IL
1t is believed that, with the sub
scriptions now in hand, togeth-
er with those already pledged,
but not received, the fund for
WEST FONTS 1000 sufferers
will reach 100000.
It is the opinion of the COM
mittee. on fapily relief that this 4.
amount will amply take care Of
all cases of restitution, as a
systematic survey has been
made of all those in distress and
their wants determined.
Therefore, the general relief
committee considers that it will
be unnecessary for further eff
forts to be extended in behalf of
this cause. The generous re-
Spouse on the part of the people
from all parts of the state has
been spontaneous and it is with
with deep gratitude hat the
citizens of this community Of
fer their heartfelt thanks.
The committee also hopes to
personally acknowledge each in
dividual subscription at an early
date.

Agreement Reached for
Senate Vote on House
Sugar Bill Amendments

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Under
an agreement reached by the senate,
an effort was to be made when the
McNary sugar bill came up today
to get the concurrence of the sem
ate to the bill as amended by the
house. Should the senate fail to
concur, the measure would be forced
to conference, and this practically
would eliminate the possibility of
it's enactment before the holiday re-
cess.
Opponents of the measure have an
nounced their intention of prolong-
ing the discussion and leaders eX-
pressed the belief there was little
prospect of a final vote on the bill
today.
The bill, drafted to relieve condi-
tions arising over the sugar short
age, previously was passed by the
senate with a provision repeating
the wartime powers of the govern
ment over sugar prices and distri-
button. The house amended the
measure to continue the government
control,

Georgia house of representatives
from Jenkins county, and a promi-
pent lawyer of Millen, on Thursday
came to Atlanta to urge Governor

victed her; by all of the grand jurors
who indicted her; by a number of
the nearest living relatives of

city officials and the Jenkins county
officials; by a majority of the pres
ent and last preceding legislatures;
by DR.. Eugene Murphey, a prominent
Augusta physician, who recently ex-
amined Mrs Godbee and informed
the governor that she was threat
ened with a malady which might emo
her life.
Governor Dorsey in discussing the
case Thursday with the newspaper
men would give no Indication as to
whether he would make his decision
before Christmas. He said he was
trying to dispose of clemency cases
in chronological order, and there
were several cases ahead of Mrs.
GOdbeo vet to be decided.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
