We have examined its surface pretty

Volcanoes from time to time throw
up great quantities of stuff out of
the bowels of the earth. But there

Noiseless Revolvers
Are Latest Fashion
With Gotham Bandits

! NEW YORK.-The use of revolv-
ers equipped with Maxim silencers
seems to have been recently adopted
by gunner operating in New York
city and northern New Jersey.
The noiseless revolver made its
appearance in Bergen county, New
Jersey, Saturday night, December A,
and has been used in series Of
hold-ups in different parts of Ber-
gen and other Jersey counties.
Since December 4, bandits armed
with Maxim silencer revolvers have
committed crimes in three Jersey
towns-Peetzburg Hackensack, Oak
land, Ridgewood, Fairburn, Midland
Park and Bergenfield. Two clubs,
the Ridgewood Country club and the
Palisades Township Community
club, were held up by noiseless gun
gangs. The authorities have been
unable to say positively whether or
not these robberies have been COM
mitted nv the same band.

DORSEY NOT TO
c ALL ASSEMBLY
INEXTRA SESSION

That Governor Dorsey has recon
sidered his views in regard to an
extra session of the legislature, and
is not now inclined to issue call
was the information obtained Tues
day from reliable sources at the state
capitol.
The governor himself practically
confirmed this information by stat
ing that the attorney general and
the tax commissioner had altered
their original opinions concerning
the effect Of the United States su-
preme court decision upon the tax
equalization law of Georgia, and
were now of the belief that the law
could be made to function with rea-
sonable effectiveness without an i'm
mediate amendment to make it com
ply with the constitutional defects
found in it by the supreme court.
If this be true, the governors
principal reason for considering a
call for an extra session no longer
obtains. There is some room for
question, of course, as to the future
effect of the court decision upon the
enforceability of the law, and there
Lore upon the revenues OIL the SCaCe.
but the disposition of the attorney
general and tax commissioner is to
believe that substantial enforcement
can be had without immediate
amendment.
1t was the doubt as to whether
1921 revenues of the state would be
undermined by the supreme court
decision that caused the governor to
consider an extra session. Tax re-
turns are made in the early spring,
while the legislature meets in regu-
lar session in midsummer. Hence If
it was necessary to amend the law
at all, the amendment should have
been made prior to the tax returns
All that, however, is disposed of bv
the later diagnosis Of the attorney
general and tax commissioner con
corning the effect of the decision.
Another factor influencing the gov
ernor's views in the matter was a
strong expression of sentiment from
the business interests Of the state
against an extra session. He has
received, 1t is learned, large num-
Der of letters on the subject, ami

M'FADDEN WILL
DIRECT CAMPAIGN
FOR EXPORTBANK

The campaign for additional sub
scriptions to the capital stock of the
Federal International Banking COM
pany, organization of which was per-
fected last Friday at New Orleans,
will be directed by an Atlanta man.
Haynes McFadden. secretary of the
Georgia Bankers association and
publisher of the Southern Banker,
was called to New Orleans Monday
night to assume active charge of
the campaign for the additional SUBJ
scriptions that will increase the cap
ital Of the big export bank to S10,-
5000, 900.
The selection Of Mr.. McFadden to
direct the campaign was made by a
committee of New Orleans bankers,
to which has been delegated the duty
of raising the additional 100000 in
stock subscriptions. The committee
was Influenced in it's choice by recog-
milton Of Mr.. McFadden's work in
putting Georgia over the top in the
original campaign. In cooperation
with Robert E. Harvey, who acted as
field agent, Mr.. McFadden was large
~ responsible for the remarkable
showing made by the banks of Geor-
gia-a showing that astonished the
bankers attending the permanent or
ganization meeting at New Orleans
last week.
The decision of the New Orleans
meeting to increase the capital Of
the Federal International Banking
company TO $1O,000,000 was influence
ed largely by the success of the stock
subscription campaign in Georgia. In
proportion to it's quota or allotment,
Georgia far outstripped the nine 9TH
er southern states in subscribing to
the stock of the export bank.
The original purpose of it's or
ganizers was to launch the bank with
capital of $6,0O0,000. This idea was
abandoned and the bank Incorporate
ed for $1,000 900 at the New Orleans
meeting last week, when it develop
ed that the stock had been over
subscribed by $1,000,000. Georgia's
stock subscription of $1,40O,O0O ex-

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.--One hun
bred and thirty-eight fire insurance
companies are suspending their busi-
ness in Mississippi, where their ag-
gregate covering policies amount to
approximately $1,250,000, 900.
This action is an outgrowth of a
suit filed against them by the state
revenue agent of Mississippi, charg-
ing that in collecting the same rates
the companies have created COM
bine in restraint of trade.
Announcement of the suspension
was made here today by the National
Board Of Underwriters.
1t was explained that the state
revenue agent contends that the al

All congressional opponents of the
