HOUSE PUTS CRIMP
IN "PEEPING TOMS
FOLLOWING MUCH LAUGHTER
BILL PASSES MAKING EAVES-
DROPPING MISDEMEANOR.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Amidst a great
deal of laughter and levity the house
of representatives Saturday after
noon passed as the closing item on
the afternoon bill of fare a bill by
Representative Johns, of Barrow
county. to make it a misdemeanor to
eavesdrop the private premises of a
citizen or to play the ''Peeping Tom.
A gale of laughter greeted the
reading of the. bill, but Representa-
tive Johns was not disturbed by this
outburst of merriment, nor did he
allow himself to be frustrated or an
gered when Representative Barnes,
of Bibb county, asked him the ques-
ton whether his bill prescribed the
dimensions of the hole through which
a "peeping Tom" should not peer or
an eavesdropper should not cast pry-
ing eyes.
Taking the levity in good nature
Representative Johns explained that
the trainers of Georgia's laws made
a real oversight in failing to prohibit
this particular kind of offense. He
cited an instance occurring IN his
home town of Winder, where a negro
was found spying upon the boudolr
of two young ladies, and there was
nc law under which to prosecute the
miscreant, who was sent to the city
stockade for 80 days on the blank
ct charge of disorderly conduct,
which covers multitude of crimes;
After many hearty laughs ana

Johns the house passed the bill.

SOUTHERN VIEWS OF
PRESIDENTIAL CHANCES
CANVASS OF OPINIONS SHOWS
EDITORS BELIEVE WILSON
COULD WIN NOMINATION.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-With a view
of determining the trend of southern
opinion regarding the wisdom of the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson fol-
a third term, the Nashville Tennes-
seean addressed the following ques.
tons to leading newspapers of the
South:
81. In your opinion should Presi-
dent Wilson be nominated in 1920?
"2. Could President Wilson be
nominated if he became candidate?
SO. Could President Wilson be re-
elected if nominated?"
Only 20 per cent. of the newspa-
pers express the belief that the pres
ident should be renominated,' about
5 per cent. basing their opinion on
the general antipathy to third term
for any president. Yet 60 per. cent.
believe that he could be nominated
if a candidate. Only 80 per cent. be-
lieve he could be elected if nominal
ed.
Opinions as to the most eligible
candidate for democrats in the event
that Wilson should be eliminated
were much divided. McAdoo was the
favorite, 40 per cent. giving him
preference above all others.
The next highest were Baker and
Palmer, who tied with 20 per cent.
each. William ]. Bryan came fourth,
with Is per cent. of the vote.
In expressing their belief as to the
strongest republican candidate the
editors are as much divided as on the
eligible democrats. Former President
Taft received 35 per cent. of the
votes, 20 per cent. went to General
Wood and the rest were divided
among Johnson, Cummins, Watson of
Indiana, Harding of Ohio, Calder of
New York and Lowden of Illinois.

Licensed aviators of any national

trans-Pacifc flight. The contest will
be open September, 1919 to January,
1920. The flight must be completed
within twelve days. If the flight
across the Pacific is not completed,

DEMOCRATIC CHIEF
RIDICULES AIR QUIZ

ON INVESTIGATORS OF ARMY
PLANE FIASCo. FREAR MAD.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Homer S
Cummings, chairman of the national
democratic committee, was called be.
fore the house subcommittee inves-
tigating aviation to give an explana-
ton of why a democratic committee
publicity sheet recently called the
committee "a smelling committee"
and said it's proposed trip to the Pa
cific coast to investigate the spruce
situation was only "junket." Chair
man Frear, republican, of the sub
committee was manifestly angry. Mr..
Cummings did not apologize for the
statment, smilingly saying, cts not
circumstance to what we are going
to do"
The examination of Mr.. Cummings
continued for an hour. Mr.. Frear and
Mr.. Magee, of New York, the other
republican member, accused Mr..
Cummings of not making direct an
swers, but Mr.. Cummings only smil-
ed. Mr.. Lea, of California, the dem
ocratic member of the subcommittee
kept silent.
Secretary Baker appeared before
the subcommittee and many ques-
tions were asked him about aviation
program of the army during the war.
The house and senate committee re-
ports were reviewed. The sub-commit-
tee said afterwards they were merely
laying a foundation for an inquiry
that would reopen the whole matter
of aviation, with the reported ex-
penditures of more than $1,000,000,-

EDITOR GOES TO JAIL

Edward T. Leech, editor of the Mem
phis Press, an afternoon newspaper,
entered the Shelby county jail today
to begin serving a sentence of ten
DAYS imposed for alleged contempt
of Chancellor Israel Peres' court.
The contempt charges grew out OF
an editorial written by Leech during
a local political campaign last year:
The editorial, it is claimed, referred
directly to no individual, nor group
of individuals, but Leech was tried
for contempt of Chancellor Peres'
court and sentenced to pay a fine OF
$50 and serve ten days in jail. An APP
peal to the state supreme court was
taken, but the verdict Of the lower
court was sustained.

RIVER OF LAVA RUNS
THROUGH A TOWN
LOSS OF LIFE ESTIMATED AT
$4,000 IN JAVA. PITCH DARK
DURING THE ERUPTION.

SINGAPORE.-The awful scenes
which prevailed when the volcano of
Kalut in Java burst into eruption on
May 20, destroyed twenty-siX villages
and caused a loss of life estimated
by some at $4,000 are wildly de-
scribed by Miss E. W. Cranen, who
has arrived here from Sourabaya.
A river of boiling mud and lava
which overwhelmed the village of Bill
tar, where Miss Cranen was staying,
she saws, was ten miles wide and four
feet deep.
Thunder First symptom.
The first symptoms of the coming
eruption, Miss Cranen said, were
sounds like thunder and vivid flashes
in the sky. Enormous powders were
flung from the volcano into the low
lands around it for immense dis
tances. There was pitchy darkness
owing to a rain of ashes.
Then came warning to the occu-
pants of the hotel at Blitar that the
river of lava and mud was approach
ing. eve were almost beside our
selves as to what to do to avoid a
hideous end" she said. Twenty-foqr
of those staying at the hotel escaped
death in the boiling mud by fleeing
aboard a motor car driven by the
wife of the assistant resident COM
missioner.
According to Miss Cranen the riv-
err of mud ran for three hours, and
wrought fearful damage to life and
property. 1t covered the railway sta
ton, buried the locomotives and cars
and destroyed virtually every house
in Blitar, Wingi and Srengat.
Sees Little Ones Perish.
A Mr.. Boekhont managed to rescue
his wife and some of his. children,
but owing to the velocity of the mud
river was unable to save two of his
little ones, who persisted before his
eyes. One European, while in bed in
his house, was carried away and de-
posted miles distant.
A Sourabaya paper, which places
the total loss of life at $4,000, says
that fifteen Europeans persisted, and
that after the volcano subsidized the
arms and legs of the victims were
seen protruding through the mud all
over the Kediri district, in the vicin-
ity of Kalut. Many thousands of per-
sons are reported missing.
1t is learned that three lava
! streams flowed from the volcano, all
taking the same course as in the
eruption of 1901. One of these de-
stroyed Blitar. Government geolo-
gists who assembled to the crater of
Kalut after the eruption found it
empty.

CAMPAIGN FOR RELIEF
FROM HIGH FOOD PRICES
Officials at Washington at Last
Awaken to the. Situation.
More Laws ArelProposed to
Curb Greed of Dealers.

At last Uncle Sam has asked the
officials of this nation-federal, state
and city-to lend their aid in con-
certed move for cheaper food and
lower prices ON other necessities of
life. The economic cricis has been
reached. How to check the soaring
cost of living is the nations gravest
problem now.
Higher wage demands and great
strikes make it imperative that Off
cial action no longer be delayed. The
threatened walkout of 100000 men
and 100000 already on a strike, at
last has caused President Wilson and
cabinet members to "sit up and take
notice"
The peak point in the high cost of
living agitation, which has been surg
ing in on the nations capital for
days, was reached with dramatic and
impelling force when the president
sent hasty request to the house of
representatives asking that body to
forego it's recess and remain in
session to consider new legislation
bearing on the cost of necessities.
The house, with many members al
ready on trains and started home
ward, after a short consultation of
leaders promptly rescinded its adj
journment resolution.
The president has appeared before
congress and delivered an address in
which he made recommendations in
regard to proposed new laws.
Wheat may be sold at $3.50 bush
ell, the government making good the
difference between this price and the
1926 guaranteed the farmer. Prof
iteers and hoarders of foodstuffs are
to be hunted down without mercy
and given the strongest penalty the
law provides. The food and fuel adj
which functioned DUR
ing the war, may be revived to es-
tablish maximum prices on necessi-
ties. Investigations galore are prom
ised into alleged combines of corpo-
rations for excessive profit taking.
Congress may even be asked to limit
profits on necessities.
Government Drops All Other Work,
Congress has dropped all other
work to consider measures looking
to relief from high prices. The house,
which had planned to recess during
the month of August, will continue
in session. The senate has laid aside
the long drawn out league\of nations
debate for the more pressing prob
lens of living costs. President Will
son has postponed indefinitely his
proposed tour of the nation in sup
port of the peace treaty and has laid
aside all foreign problems for the
consideration of domestic ones With
the task of forcing down prices fair
ly under way the next two or three
weeks should witness important de-
Rail Mems Demand Staggering.
In emphasizing the grave crisis
that faced the nation on its transport
tation problem it was pointed out
that the increase in wages that would
be sought if living conditions were
not bettered would total S800,000,-
900 a year, and that when the rail-
roads are piling up deficit of hum
dreds of millions annually already.
