FROM BOTTOM OF
POOL AND REVIVED

VALDOSTA, Ga, ug. 25.-It took
about thirty minutes of hard work
to bring life back into the body

was overcome in the swimming pool
at the Country club Monday. Young

Holmes came out. Goodwin played
awhile and started out, but seemed
to get confused and got into the
deep water, way over his head. He
sank to the bottom while his COM
panion ran off and got some golf
players to come to the scene. When
they reached the pool they could see
the lad lying on the bottom. under
seven feet Of water, apparently dead.
Robert Dusenbury dived in and pulled
him out. Then the work of resuscita-
ton began. The boy finally showed
signs of life and later on was all
right.

DORSEY CHALLENGED
To JOINT DEBATES
BY SENATOR SMITH
Governor Invited to Meet the
Senator in Macon Friday
Night for the First
Debate

Senator Hoke Smith has sent a
challenge to Governor Dorsey to
meet him in joint debate in the Ma
con auditorium next Friday night,
which is the date of the senator's
speaking in that city. The challenge
was sent Thursday night to Gov
ernor Dorsey at Americas. 1t was
sent by Felix Jackson and William
Schley Howard, the committee re-
Gently appointed by Senator Smith
to handle for him the arrangements
for any joint debates which might
be held between himself and Gov
ernor Dorsey or Thomas E. Watson.
The telegram was as follows:
Senator Smith requests us to
ask you to appoint two of your
friends to confer with us and ar
range debates. ne suggests Fri
day night at Macon as the first
debate. As you have claimed
Bibb county, YOU will certainly
agree to that place as fair
point for the first debate.
(S1gned)
FELIX JACKSON,
WILLIAM SCHLEY HOWARD.
No answer had been received from
Governor Dorsey, so far as could be
learned up to l o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. No telegram or letter
from the governor had been received
by William Schley Howard or by the
Hoke Smith campaign headquarters
in the-Piedmont hotel. If any answer
had been received by Mr.. Jackson,
at Gainesville, he had not notified
the Hoke Smith headquarters.
Governor Dorsey recently express
ed in an interview will
ingness to meet Senator Smith in
joint debate, qualified, however, with
the proviso that Thomas E. Watson
should also be invited to participate.
This was the same proviso made by
Mr.. Watson some weeks ago when
Senator Smith appointed the above
committee to arrange details.
There has been much interest in
Macon for several days, since the
Hoke Smith speaking date was an
nounced, to know whether Governor
Dorsey would accept an invitation to
divide time there with the senator.
His answer to the senator's direct
challenge is awaited throughout the
state with the keenest interest.

|. c. c. RATE RAISE
APPLIED To GEORGIA
BY Commission
New Rail Tariffs Are Effec-
tive September I, Four
Days Later Thar for Rest
of Country
No surprise was occasioned among

No surprise was occaSioned anon g
Georgia shippers by the announce
ment of the increase in freight and
passenger rates allowed by the rail-
road commission of Georgia in It's
decision handed down Tuesday after
noon.
The commission allows the rail
roads of this state to make the same
increases in Georgia intrastate rates
as were recently allowed by the IN
terstate commerce commission in In
terstate rates.
That is to say, an increase of %
per cent in freight rates, an increase
of 20 per cent in passenger rates a
surcharge of so per cent in Pullman
rates, all of which goes to the rail-
roads; an increase of 20 per cent in
excess baggage rates; an increase of
20 per cent in milk and cream rates.
These increases are allowed to be-
come effective on September /, which
is four days later than the effective
date of the interstate increases al
lowed by the interstate commerce
commission, the interstate increases
taking effect on August 26.
The act of congress returning the
railroads to private operation, other
wise known as the transportation
act, requires the interstate COM
merce commission to prescribe such
rates and fares as will yield the rail
roads Of the United States, for the
next two years. net income of not
less than 5 IL and not more than G
per cent. The act empowers the com
mission to lift intrastate rates tc
the level of interstate rates, a power
which had never before been vested
in the federal body, and a power
that practically took away the au-
thority of state commissions over
intrastate rates.
Interstate Increases
A few months ago the railroads Of
the United States filed "a joint and
general petition with the interstate
commerce commission for increased
rates in all departments. they show
ed that Increased wages, increa SEQ
cost Of fuel and heavy increases. in
maintenance and. renewal, made il
necessary for them to hay an in
crease in rates to yield them the
income guaranteed by the transpor-
tation act.
After hearing from shippers all
over over 5e, the United States, and after
the earnings Of the railroads, the
commission granted an increase of
20 per cent in freight rates, of 20
per cent in passenger rates, of &c
per cent in excess baggage rates, of
20 per cent in milk and cream rates
and a surcharge of 50 per cent in
Pullman rates, the same to apply
on interstate traffic and to become
effective on August 26.
Immediately following this decis-
ion, the railroads in each of the
several states presented to the sew
eral state commissions a joint and
general petition for the same in
creases in intrastate rates as the
interstate commerce commission had
allowed in interstate rates. They
showed that these increases were
necessary to bring intrastate rates
up TO the level of interstate rates.

Detroit, Mich, in connection with
sthe murder of a woman supposed to
be his wife, was arrested on board
the British freighter Dryden, which

LONDON, Aug. 25.-Whether most
of Europe again will be involved in
war was to be decided within forty
eight hours.
Russia has until Friday evening to
reply to the Anglo-Italian note de-
handing modification Of her peace
terms to Poland. Premier Lloyd
George has informed the Bolsheviki,
through Arthur Balfour, lord presi-
dent of the council, that unless a
satisfactory reply is Forthcoming
within the time limit Great Britain
will change its policy toward Russia.
Committed to the same action as
Great Britain are Italy, France and
possibly Belgium. In the event of
a resumption of hositilities on a
major scale, the Germans may be-
come partially involved, since the
sentiment of the German populations
bordering on Poland is frankly pro-
Russian. Officials Of East Prussia
are reported to have asked for vol
unteers to aid the Reds and, accord
ing to some advices, no steps have
been taken to intern the thousands
of Russians who fled into east Prus-
STA to escape capture.
1t was predicted in well Informed
circles this afternoon that the Poles
and Russians would abandon the eX-
IRENE terms they were trying to
enforce upon each other and adopt a
more moderate tone. The reds, it
was reported, had already given up
their demand for creation of a pro-
letariat militia in Poland, but this
was unconfirmed. 1t was also re-
ported that the armistice conference

Russians Ask for Passports
The Bolshevik representatives
Kameneff and Krassin, have already

the event their, government fails to

AS word was awaited from Mos

Herald telegraphed that the Polish
armistice delegates had definitely re-
jected the Russian terms.
Unconfirmed reports were received
from anti-Bolshevik sources that sew
eral serious outbreaks have occurred
against the Soviets in various parts
Of Russia, particularly the southern

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Applica-
ton for an injunction to restrain
Secretary Colby, of the state depart
ment. from promulgating ratification
of the federal suffrage amendment
was filed in the district supreme
court today by counsel for the Amer
lean Constitutional league. Associate
Justice Siddons. required that au-
thority for such procedure be cited
and agreed to hear counsel on the
point during the day.
Application was made by Attorney
A. D. Smith in behalf of Charles s.
Fairchild, of New York, president of
the league. Justice Siddons said he
could not consider the matter until
counsel had presented authority un-
der which he contended the court
might act to restrain the secretary
of state from issuing a proclamation
announcing ratification son receipt of
certification of the action of Ten
nessee as thrty-sixth state. He sug-
gested that counsel present such ci.
tatfons tomorrow, but Mr. Smith
said this might be too late and JUS
tice Siddons agreed to remain II
his chambers during the day to con-
slider the authorities which counse'
might present later.
This was the second attempt bE
the league to otain from the distric'
court an injunction restraining Mr.
| Coly from proclaiming- the vratifica-
ton. The first effort was made last
month before Tennessee had acted.
Justice Bailey in dismissing the pro-
ceedings held that the court was
without authority to inquire into the
action of the state legislatures in
ratifying the suffrage amendment,
and that it had no authority to pass
on the validity of such an amend
ment. An appeal to the supreme
court of the United States was noted
by counsel for the league.
Official notification that the
amendment had ben ratified by the
to reach Secre AIRY Colby during the
day, dispatches from Nashville hav-
ing reported that Governor Roberts
mailed the certification notice to
Washington at noon yesterday. Sec
rotary Colby recently announced he
was prepared to issue the suffrage
proclamation as soon as he received
