Peace Conference
To Begin Thursday

PARIS, Jan (Tuesday)-( -(By As
sociated Pres.) The informal confer
ences between the Entente statesmen
which will lay the real ground work
for the world peace conference VIII
begin Thursday. These probably will
be President Wilson's only official ac-
titles prior to the beginning of the
peace congress proper, as it will be
necessary for him to get some rest af-
ter the strenuous weeks he has spent
since his arrival in Europe.
There seems to be excellent author
ity for saying that plans for the set
tlement Of the league Of nations ques-
ton freedom of the seas and disarm
ament are still very indefinite. Presi-
dent Wilson's conferences with Brit
ish and Italian statesmen, however, de-
veloped no differences of principles,
according TO the best information.

MAYOR TELLS
PUBLICFRANKLY
OF CITY DEBTS
FACING COUNCIL
About $1,000 "In Hole, y He Shows
Due to Old System of
Taxation.

Mayor Sheppard, addressing the
city council last night at the first
regular meeting of the new year and
first session in which it had actually
gotten down to business took the pub
lie into his confidence by making a
clean breast of the city's rather EN-
barrassing financial condition. His
statement, taken from the city's. re-
cords showed that the city is lin the
hole in the neighborhood of $100,000' >
and he asked the members of the body
to give the problem careful consider
alton in order that the problem might
be met in the best possible way Mayor
Sheppard said:
Gentlemen, l wish to make you a
brief statement on the financial con-
dition of the city On January l there
were outstanding against the city notes
amounting to $62,909 Tonight's audits
of bills which have been passed and
for which vouchers will be drawn to-
tai $10,5S515, giving a total of $73,-
444.15 outstanding against the city
The city is also due the Americus
Lighting company $500, making a to-
tai of over $4,000 Indebtedness.
"In addition to all that, of the
school payroll some $4,000 to $4,000
is still unpaid Also $4,000 in bonds
will mature the coming spring
April /.
You can get from these figures a
general idea of the financial condition
of the city. OF the $62, 2,909 which
mentioned as owed by the city on
notes, $1,000 was paid Dec Is. An
other $1,000 was paid on December IS,
and $4,000 was forwarded to New
York While these amounts have been
paid, they have been paid out of the
funds that should be used for 1919 eX-
penses, money collected in the last
few days mostly from license taxes for

am informed that there is generally
rot much difference between the fixed
expenditures and the revenue in sight.
Therefore, we are in the neighborhood

CHANGE AWAITS
OFFICIAL ORDER
BY INTERSTATE
COMMERCEBODY
Clocks to Be Moved Hour Ahead on
February lst, if Order is
Issued.

Americus officially adopted Eastern
time last night when the city council
passed resolution, fatherer by the
Chamber of Commerce, asking the In
terstate Commerce commission to is
sue an order. effective February l,
establishing Eastern time as official
time for the city
The resolution was passed to meet
the requirement of the Interstate Com
merce commission, which in recent
correspondence with the Chamber of
Commerce, expressed its readiness to
comply with the wishes of the city
demanding only that the request come
from the official representative body
of the city signed by the mayor. The
resolution was passed unanimously
and copy of it, properly certified by
the city clerk, was forwarded this aft
ernoon by SECRETARY Perkins, of the
Chamber of Commerce, to the Inter
ington. 1t is believed an order will
be issued without delay
The text of the resolution passed by
the council follows:
Whereas, the Interstate Commerce
commission, acting under authority
granted by act of Congress, has pro-
mulgated an order effective January
1, 1919, re-establishing the dividing
lines between the several time zones
in the United States, and the city of
Americus being directly on the line
between Eastern Tor Standard time,
and Central time, has been place din
the Central time zone; and
Whereas, it appears that the peo-
pie of Americus are overwhelmingly in
favor of Eastern Tor Standard time,
therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Mayor and Coun-
Gil of the City of Americus, that the
Interstate Commerce commission be
and is hereby requested to formulate
an order designating Eastern Tor
Standard time as the official time OF
the city of Americus, to become
effective on the first day of February,
1919"
The matter was brought before the
council by Secretary Perkins, of the
Chamber who briefly outlined the
proposal. He showed that Macon, AL
bany and number Of other cities on
the Central of Georgia railroad in this
section had adopted Eastern time, and
stated that an informal poll which he
had conducted among the business in
terests of Americus showed them 10 be
practically unanimous for the change,
only out of 200 who had expressed
themselves on the proposal having de-
clared for a continuation of Central
time He stated that he had been in
formed by the Interstate Commerce
commission that the popular daylight
saving plan which was put into effect
last summer by act of congress as a
war measure would not be repeated
this year, it having been found imprac-
tical to make the change forward and
backward. and the commission having
been given all authority governing Of
fetal time throughout the country
The proposal was acted upon favor
ably by council without discussion.
A similar proposal brought before
the old city council just before it ex-
pired in December was not acted upon,
Mayor L. G. Council asking that body
not to take hasty action, and the new
council coming into Office before the
measure could be acted upon at a sub
sequent meeting.

 The organization is now at work upon drafts of proposals which will be submitted to the first sitting of the council at Washington. An effort is being made to secure support for the next attempt from both the Chi nese and the people of India by circu- lation of propaganda in those coun- tries.

WHlTEWAsH SEASON AT NOME

The following extracts from Nome paper of May conclusively prove that woman, lovely woman, is carefully shielded from embarrassment and gently assisted over rough places in the pathway of life by the male gal lants of that most northerly of all Alaska cities:
 United States Commissioner Hugh O'Neill, in his capacity of coroner, commenced yesterday an inquiry into the causes leading to the death of AL bert J. Peterson, whose demise oc- cured in the Maynard Columbus hos pital early Monday morning as re- suit of injuries contracted March 2, allegedly through his being struck on the head by a piece of firewood he was splitting. As the testimony taken was of character to suggest that death may have been due to other fireWOOd, the hearing was carried over until this afternoon at the request of Attorney o. D. Cochran, who appeared on behalf of one of the witnesses whose relations with the decease have cast an atmosphere of mystery over the case
 "The bulk of the testimony tended to show that death was induced by blow from some blunt instrument which penetrated the brain cavity near the corner of the left eye. This, together with resultant complications, was described by the two physicians as the primary cause of death. A stove poker was introduced in evidence by District Attorney G. J. Lomen after one of the witnesses had stated that a Mrs. Bessie Baker, who was appar- ently an intimate friend of the de ceased, had acknowledged that she had struck Peterson with that instru- ment on the night he was injured, when he attacked her in her home during an altercatiOn.
 The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death as a result of falling on a blunt instrument held in the hands of Mrs. Baker.
 ''All is we'll that ends we'll"
 The moral to the above is that men should be careful about where they fall when women are standing round with blunt instruments" in their hands. Also women should see that blunt instruments in their hands point downward when men who are liable to fall are lowering near-Juneau Elm pire.
