'he would do every lawful thing to

Presentation by the state attorney

MERGER FAVORED
BY COMMISSION
OF METHODISTS

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 21.-Mer-
ger of the northern and southern
branches under a new constitution
and assuming the name Of the Meth
odist church was agreed upon by the
commission of unification of the
Methodist Episcopal churches in
joint session here last night. The
recommendations, If adopted by the
general conference, would eliminate
the breach which came about nearly
seventy-fve years ago over the slav-
cry question and which has kept the
approximately six million members
Of the northern and southern
churches at different differentials.
Included among the recommended
tons of the joint commission was a
proposal that the reunited church
have a supreme general council OF
500 members chosen from the seven
regional conferences. Six of the re-
gional bodies would have approxi-
mately 100000 members each. while
the seventh would comprise the ne
gro membership of 100000. In three
of these conferences the northern
branch would predominant and
southern congregations would con-
troll three others.
The northern church will vote on
the merger next May, it was said,
and if the merger is approved the
southern church will call a special
session to act on the proposal.

Seek Reds Engaged
In Bomb Conspiracy

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Search was
being made today by the police bomb
squad and department of justice for
a half dozen radicals believed to
have been leaders in bomb plot
which is declared to have been nip
ped yesterday by the arrest of eight
cen REDS" Two of the men sought,
it was said, were members of the
Russian Red Guard when Lenine
and Trotzky seized the Russian gov
eminent.
Capture of the eighteen men yes
terday was made possible by revela-
lions made to federal agents by an
alien who had been scheduled to sail
on the soviet ark" Buford, with
249 other radicals. This mans de-
portatfon was held up because of the
fact that he had failed to pay his
income tax and he divulged the ter
rorist plot. federal officials say, in
an effort to obtain consideration from
government agents.
The eighteen men arrested, it IS
charged, were reorganizing the Fed
GRAFTON of Russian Workers, which
had been badly crippled by the Bu-
ford deportations. Evidence to show
that plans were on foot for a bomb
campaign against government Off
Gals was obtained in the raids, it
was stated.

APPORTIONMENT
OF CONVICTS TO
DEPEND ON ROADS

Complete road mileage returns
from the counties of Georgia were
received Wednesday by the state
prison commission, and will be used
as the basis of apportioning con-
victs.
Under a decision rendered by
Judge Pendleton, of Fulton superior
court, the counties have a right to
use the mileage of j streets within
the limits of cities and towns as
part of their aggregate road mile
age, but apparently some of the large
counties Of the state omitted their
city street mileage in making re-
turns.
Fulton county returns 5000 miles,
which includes the streets of At
lanta, while Bibb county returns only
400 miles and Chatham county only
419 miles, which manifestly does not
include the city streets of Macon and
Savannah. Judge Pendleton's deci-
sion was rendered in a suit brought
by the Fulton county commissioners
to test the constitutionality of the
act of the Legislature providing for
apportionmer1t on a basis Of rural
roal mileage and exclusive Of streets
in towns and cities.
The total mileage shown by. the
returns is 95,035, but a revision by
counties which failed to count their
city streets will run the total to 1OO,-
900. The total convicts are 1900.
Hence the apportionment will figure
about twenty-three convicts to each
1000 miles of roads. On this basis
Fulton county would get lis con-
victs, which is a reduction of about
thirty

what he wanted, and refused to dig
in. When our American boys start
ed their advance they never stopped,
and the Germans were forced into
the open and beaten. That one
achievement, of winning the war
twelve months ahead of schedule
more than compensates for the al
legged extravaganza and waste in the
financial conduct of the war. 1t was
a marvellous victory for our boys, and
it convinced the nations of the world
that we are about the last on earth
they want to provoke.
Our trade balance is the greatest
in history. Our shipping has vastly
increased. Our navy is bigger and
stronger. Our banking system is the
best in the world. Our southeast is
the section where the greatest de-
velopment is coming. Our ports have
fair freight rates and fair ocean
rates. Our agriculture is springing
forward. Our waterpower is almost
unlimited. The eyes of the nation
are upon us. Investment is more
ready to come here than to any other
section, for here it finds no l. W.
W.-ism, no red-ism, no Bolshevism."
