Japanese to Prohibit
Expectation of Cotton

TOKIO.-The Japanese government
has decided to prohibit the eXporta-
ton of cotton yarns and cotton it's
sues in order to check the advance
in prices. Owing to the shortage
of supply against the ever-increas-
ing demand, the price of raw cot
ton has gone UP 1877 per cent.
1t is alleged that this is in part
due also to speculative dealings of
cotton yarn brokers, who have taken
advantage of the bouyant market and
the fast falling supply to deal in
futures.
The government has decided also
to exempt from customs duty cotton
yarn and cotton tissue imported from
abroad. Several large spinners in
Osaka and elsewhere have ordered
cotton yarns from the United States
and China and many Japanese cot
ton mills will augment their manu-
featuring capacity with spindles and
other machines imported from the
United States.

GIVES
MANKIND PRESENT
Of S100.000,000
NEW YORK.-John D. Rockefeller

NEW YORk.-John D. Rockefeller
Wednesday gave to mankind q
Christmas present of 100000, 900
half to the general education board
to raise the salaries of college pro-
fessors, and half to the Rockefeller
foundation, to aid in it's work of
combating disease through improve
ment of medical education, public
health administrations and scien-
tific research. 1t is estimated that
Mr.. Rockefeller's public gifts now
approximate $3.50, 100000.
While leaving to the general edu-
cation board the task of selecting
the colleges which shall receive
awards for their teaching staffs and
the amount each is to receive, Mr..
Rockefeller urged that the principal
as we'll as the income be used "as
promptly and largely as may seem
wise"
The trustees Of the Rockefeller
foundation also are authorized to
utilize both the principal and income
of their gift, in connection with
which Mr.. Rockefeller added that if
the board should see fit to use
any part of this new gift in promot-
ing medical, education in Canada,
such action would meet with my
cordial approval" Such action will
be taken, according to DIR. George
E. Vincent, president of the founda-
ton, who stated that the trustees
would be asked to set aside 100000
for this purpose.
1t is known that for long time
Mr.. Rockefeller has been interested
in the problem of aiding teachers in
the country's higher institutions of
learning in meeting the increasing
cost of living. Among the 900 col
leges in the United States campaigns
are under way to raise approximate
ly S150,000,000 for this purpose, and
while making his gifts Mr.. Rookie
Teller does not specify institutions
receiving a share shall contribute q
sum themselves, this has been the
general practice of the general edu-
cation board.
Certain officers of the general edu-
cation board are about to start on
a trip south, when they will inspect
colleges and universities which al
ready have applied for assistance
Trevor Arnett, trustee of the Uni
Versity of Chicago, has been elected
an additional secretary of the board
and will make the trip. The board
will hold it's next meeting February
26, and it is expected that at that
time a policy for distribution of the
fund will be adopted.

cult. After serving four terms he
was defeated in 1916 by Malcolm {.
Tarver, OF Dalton, who is judge OF

In the death of Judge Fite ther-
was lost to north Georgia a most
remarkable personality. His ruggen

Plans to Prevent
Liquor Smuggling
Along Florida Coast

JACkSONN1LLE, Fla. - With a
record of thousands of quarts of
contraband liquor struggled into
Florida during the last few months,
booze runners from the West Indies,
who are reaping a rich harvest, are
soon due for a come-down, accord
ing to Judge Q. P. Hilburn, of Tampa,
prohibition enforcement officer under
government appointment. Judge Hill
burn has recently completed Il
lengthy visit to points on the Florida
East coast, where he investigated the
smuggling traffic, and declares that
he is about to put into force meas"
ures calculated to bring it to a sud-
den stop.
The smuggling business has reach
ed enormous proportions along the
Florida coast during the last few
months, according to Judge Hilburn,
and is highly organized and sys
tematized. Regular shipments OF
liquor are being made to several
Florida ports from Bimini and other
islands of the British West Indies
anu, as IL COUSCQ uSICe, plOlllDlllOn III
Florida is more a myth than fact
at the present time, according to
Judge 'Hilburn.
Not only is Florida being flooded
with contraband liquor, the prohibl
ton officer declares, but Georgia ana
other southern states are oeing well
supplied with liquor from this
source. Scotch and Irish Whistles In
great quantity are being shipped To
Bimini and Nassau from Canada by
steamships, one ship with 10000
cases of dozen quarts each having
discharged it's liquid cargo at Biminl
last month. A large portion of this
liquor already has reached this. coast,
Judge Hilburn declares, and much or
it has found it's way into Georgia.
In order to bring an end to this
traffic, Judge Hilburn is working III
conjunction with the Florida Educa-
tional and Temperance league, when
has been organized in ever county
to aid in prohibition enforcement.
