declared to States Attorney Dawson
that even IL he is convicted he will

fendant, he said, would Snatch the
rope from my neck" The authorities
have been unable to figure out just
what Adams meant.
The trial today mustered crowd
that packed the courthouse almost to
suffocation, lined the corridors, and
congested courthouse square. The
physical appearance of the accused
created surprise in some quarters. In
stead of finding a distinctly hard
boiled" type of men, the hundreds OF
curious have found three well-dressed
men, one extremely dapper, but all
rather pale from long confinement.
The Beau Brummel OF the trio is
"Gunman Joe Pendergast Tall,
with high cheek bones, glossy black
hair. brushed back from high fore
head. and Immediately dressed, Pen
dergast commands much attention.
Mitchell comes nearer to any of the
trio to the popular conception OF a
gunman. He comes and leaves the
court room with contempt written on
his face. When he called A. B. Thom-
as, president OF the Sandy Springs
Bank, a '1iar." he betrayed hatred and
pent up emotion.

AWARD APPLIED i TO ALLIED DEBTS

Washington, July 27-Reduction of the allied debt to the United States by the application to the debts of the various governments of amounts , awarded them on claims against this country growing out of the war was considered today by the treasury.
 Payment of claims against the United States will not he made in cash or credit to debtor nations, ac- cording to present plans, but amounts recognized from this country will be charged off Americas bill.
 r Negotiations are under way with France to settle in this manner claims amounting to $19, 10000 awarded that country by war depart
 ment. France is anxious to receive
 the amount of the claims in cash so it may buy certain comm o dities in the United States, but the treasury takes the position that it cannot pay out if a greater sum is owed in return. Claims of the French and Italian governments against the shipping board for materials taken over at the outbreak of the war probably will be liquidated in this way. France is asking approximately $12,000,000 and Italy $2,000,00O.

who have purchased large stocks of goods at fancy prices in anticipation of quick and handsome profits, find themselves with white elephants on their hands and a non-buying public.
 The goods had to be disposed of frequently at a big loss.
 The recent bankruptcies included a number of demobilized men who started business with the proceeds of their gratuity and small savings. These men, for the most part, were inexperienced in the ways of trade and when a severe test came, they were forced to close their doors.
 A woman proprietor of a high class millinery shop in Bond street ex- plained recently that wealthy women who before the war bought gener- ously in such speciality shops as hers, were unable to do so now, because of the tremendous increase in the cost of living, wages for servants, etc. These women now are only purchasing the necessities, the business woman added.

ENGLISH FOLLOW
 ECONOMY>POLICY: MANY BANKRUPTS

London, July 27-English people have determined upon policy of strict economy resulting in a consid- erable increase in the number of bankruptcies during the last few months. These failures have occurred not only in London but also in the provinces. Business men, however, are confronted by the fact that the aggregate number is far below the total for pre-war years, figures for 1919 being 737 as against 2,s56> for 1914.
 While many reasons are advanced for this state of affairs, the most ac- ceptable one in business circles is the attitude of the buying public which has decided only to purchase absolute necessities. In consequence, traders

SATURDAY, JANUARY II, 1920.
col. ABEL DAVIS IDEAS
ON NEW CONSTITUTION

Col. Abel Davis, delegate to the con-
stitutional convention, has made pub.
lie his views on the work ahead. He
says:
"The constitutional convention is
not q legislative body. This state
ment will bear repetition. The appli.
cation of the principle involved will
have to be borne in mind in all OF the
deliberations and actions Of the con-
vention. II the convention adheres
to this principle 1t will produce a
basic law which will stand the test
of many years and meet with the mini.
mum Of objection at the hands Of the
people on the question Of ratification.
Lack Of elasticity and an excess
sive number OF limitations in the con-
stitut,on of 1870 brought about the
demand for change in that docu-
ment. The new document in Great
ing the machinery of our three de-
partments, executive, legislative, and
judicial, should have confidence in the
integrity and good judgment of the
people and their future representa-.
tives in the three departments Of our
state, county, and municipal govern.
ments and reduce the number OF limi.
tations to n minimum.
"Concretely, let me cite two illus.
trations:
Serious consideration should be
given to the proposal that the judicial
section of our new constitution be
framed along the lines Of our federal
constitution, which would mean that
the legislature would have the power
to create such courts with such juris.
diction as, in its judgment, may be
required from time to time. The
criticism of our judicial system is due
entirely to the fact that the many
limitations in our present constitu
tion have made 1t impossible for the
legislature to make such necessary al
terations as changed conditions re
quired.
"In the matter of taxation the legis
lature's power to pass the necessary
taxing laws should be subject only
to the limitations that they shall be
uniform as to all classes of persons
and property similarly situated, and
that exemptions should only be by
general law, repealable at the pleas
ure of the general assembly"

ALLEN WOULD PROTECT The PUBLIC

Gov. Henry J. Allen of Kansas
handled the coal strike situation In
his state in way that attracted ma.

principle that the public interest is
supreme, seized the mines and set
volunteers to work in getting out the
coal.
He now proposes to give per.
manency to this emergency policy.
The Kansas court of Industrial rela-
tions, planned by Governor Allen and
to be submitted to the special session
Of the legislature, is founded upon the
idea of giving the labor unions direct
legal entity and taking away the strike
privilege by giving the unions and the
employers something else. This court
can only be appealed to when efforts
