new LAW TO
BEAR UPON
EXAMINATIONS

ATLANTA, August 15.-"T hope
the returning soldiers who have been
injured during their service will un-
derstand fully in Georgia as else
where, the vocational rehabilitation
act which congress has passed." said
United Safes Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia in communication from
Washington today to this news serv-
ice.
''In the original bill those were
eligible to vocational rehabilitation
only who had been examined by the
War Risk Bureau and found entitled
on account of their injuries to COM
pensation.
with the enormous amount of
work resting upon the War Risk Bu-
reau, there was delay and trouble
about obtaining recognition, and
many of the injured men did not
receive prompt decision that they
were entitled to compensation. This
being the case, the Federal Voca-
tional Board had no authority to
take charge of them.
1.-TWO or three weeks ago We pass
ed a new act on the subject and gave
the Federal Board authority to pass
upon injured soldiers and to deter
mine that their injuries entitled
them to compensation. We also ap-
priated the money to the Vocational
Board from which the compensation
is to be paid.
Nov there should be no delay in
reaching all men who have been in
pured and giving them careful ex-
animation to aid them in determining
upon lines of training which will fit
them again for profitable occupation.
The headquarters of the South
east are in Atlanta. A letter ad-
dressed to Federal Board of Voca-
tional Training, at Atlanta, will give
to any soldier who has been injured
information which will enable him at
once to get in touch with represent
tatives of the Vocational Board who
can classify him for compensation
and advise and assist him to reach
that character of instruction which
will best fit him for future work"
Senator Smith said the United
States appropriated fourteen million
| dollars to the Federal Board for the
rehabilitation work.

lows, in full:

in the general assembly.

The weekly newspaper fraternity
of the state, of which the speaker

to come in as Farmer Candidate"
With the close of the legislature
the race for governor began to take
added interest. The speaker re-
Trained from public canvassing, out
of respect for the proprietors of the
movement, but now announces that
he will begin visiting the different
counties at once and personally di-

 '"The Westminster Company, incor- porated under the laws of New Jersey, was organized to take over her active investments.

GUY HAWKES. DAY ONCE
 KEPT IN CONNECTICUT

The fifth day of November used to be kept by the colonists of Cennecti- cut. The celebration was intended to commemorate the conspiracy known as the Gunpowder Plot of 1895, when a plot was laid to blow up the hous- es of parliament in London, and to destroy the king. It was on this day in November that Guy Fawkes was arrested just as he was about to fire the gunpowder which had been placed understhe building. When Guy Fawkes day came around the celebration was made as regularly as if it was a re- ligious holiday
 The day was ushered in and kept in place in the calendar, by the ring Ling Of the church bells and the cow bells. sleigh bells and dinner bells. For proper accent to the standardization the roise of fish horns was added in full force and measure. With boot a~d howl. scream and yell. the re- l f~a'a was shouted

 much as we of this later century like to celebrate Independence day anc war days These were formed early il the forenoon, but might be repeated 1T the afternoon. Everything was mad, as grotesque as possible.
 Some of the towns were more often

 selectmen undertook to abolish tn

 Notwithstanding this. thesa celebra

 issued this order:

 been apprized of design for the oh t;ervance of the ridiculous and child !. fish custom of burning the effigy C the Pope. he cannot help expressin

FREES HETTY GREEN
 ESTATE FROM TAX

Surrogate Fowler of New York has decided that Mrs. Hetty H. R. Green was not doing business" in New York state at the time of her death, although she had millions of dollars invested there in various enterprises and that the investment of her fortune did not come within the meaning of the stat ute permitting the bulk of her property to be taxed at the time of her death.
 In an opinion on the efforts of auth critics to subject the fortunes of the rich to the inheritance tax law when persons leaving property in the state are non-residents, the surrogate said:
 Tn democratic republic the growing danger, of injustice is not to the poor, bns to people of property.
 That the modern processes of taxa ton are being subtlyl misapplied to the end of the socialistic movement is generally admitted by professional economists. Some, indeed, profess that political and social strife has already been declared in the regions Of taxation. and people of property are beginning to claim that taxation in aid of social reform is a clear usurp- alton and unconstitutional, It is in such a moral and political atmosphere that this simple case, and hundreds like it,, come on to be heard by the courts.
 The deceased happened to have been a woman of large estate. Had Mrs. Greens estate in her lifetime been managed by agents or attorneys the present contention of the state comp troiier-that she was engaged in bus mess in this city-would in all prob- ability not have been made.
 The surrogate said Mrs. Green kept no open shop or place of resort for the public. She made no transactions but
 her own. and in a legal sense. such l transaction were not her fbusiness,' but
 her private affairs The opinion adds: The appraisers report shows that

HARDSH|PS IN VIENNA DURING STRIKE

Vienna, Oct. 5 (By the A. P.).-Order was maintained in the Austrian capi- tai during the recent general railway strike and suspension for eight days of street car service. To save electric light. and gas. apartment houses. eof- fee houses and restaurants were rs- quired to close early. This increased the food shortage and put the public to great inconveniences. as during the eight days the strike lasted the doors of the apartment houses were closed at p m.
 The only profiteers were the porters of apartment houses and the drivers of public carriages. The carriage drivers charged exorbitantly. There are only 300 of these vehicles in the city and virtually no taxicabs. One physician wrote to a, newspaper that he. was compelled to pay 1000 crowns to be driven mile to a dying patient.
 One anti-Jewish demonstration was checked by the police before it had reached the riot ostage.
 As the government now is. with the workmen's and soldiers council play ing such a strong part. there seems no attempt to regulate public trans portation charges and the drivers ex- act what they can.

"GRAFT TRAILS" LEAD TO
 THE NEW YORK POLICE

New York. Nov 6.-Investigatfon of New Ycrk's police department with in- timations that 1t might result in sensa- tional revelations of an alliance with the underworld, WAS begun today by the extraordinary grand jury originally impannelled to consider radical actiyi- ties.
 James E. Smith, an assistant of Dis- trict Attorney Swann. who cohducted q series of Spectacular raids last win ter to put an end to gambling and vice. was the chief witness today. He as- serted, 1t was learned, that he, could show graft trails leading from the police to the gambling ring and vice trust"
 As the first step in establishing his contention, Smith delivered ito the grand jurors his celebrated police blue book" naming officers he asserts have been involved in corrupt prac- tices. --,.'f
 He was closeted in conference with Foreman Raymond F. Alnirall before entering the july room. He is under stoed to nave told him that he had been so fatnpei ed ry the police in his efforts to break up gambling and vice that he resorted to almost nightly raids with his own forces because the police failed to give him proper sup port. @a
 Politicians. gamblers and "even law yers" wese. involved lin the graft Smith asserted. He said he was will ing to tell of a meeting in Atlantic City of two men in the service of New York citY and one man formerly in it's employ, where 1t was agreed to throw the city wide open"
 Of1cers of the police department, in- cluding department officials. are ex- pected to be summoned as witnesses because of Smiths testimony Officials l from other city departments also will ! be called. Smith will be witness again tomorrow.
 The grand jury was diverted from its inquiry into radicalisnA at the request of Listrict Attorney Swann to the task l of Investigating Mayor Hylan's s | charges of conspiracy against the h. etrborough officials and employees.
 Later 1t broke with District Attorney
 Swann and requested Governor Smith
 to replace the prosecutor with special counsel
 | The jury now apparently has widen
 ed the scope of it's inquiry to include
 a general Investigation of the whole
 city administration from the mayor $
 office down. When the grand jury l sought the appointment of special
 counsel to aid it in it's investigation
 it reported to Governor Smith that ii
 had come upon evidence of "a crime
 completely overshadowing" the may or's allegations of conspiracy.
