GOVERNOR DORSEY
To URGE FORMING
Of STATE POLICE

That Governor Hugh M. Dorsey. in
his farewell message to The general
assembly, when t ConvcheS on the
fourth Wednesday in June, will urge
the establishment of state cOnstab-
ulary, or state police force, became
known Thursday, when the gover-
nor expire ssed the opinion that con-
ditions throughout the state were
such as to necessitate such action.
The governor, while ref aiming
from airy wholesale charges of dis
order, pointed out that recent Incl
dents occurring in Newton, Pike,
jasper anG other counties, where
racial II doubles have occurred. indi-
cate the necessity for some state po-
lice organization under the direction
of the executive. Local authorities
are in many cases handicapped In
the governor. and a state police
force would be able to handle GER
tain situations with greater facility.
In his first message to the general
assembly Governor Dorsey suggested
the organization Of a state constabu-
larry That was in 1917. At that
time he said to the legislators:
"An alternative provision permits
siDIe for domestic protection of the
state Is that Of a state constabulary
Or police force. While [ recognize
that 1t is impossible at this session
TO undertake Lf6 enactment Ol a. law
creating a state police force. yet I
believe that a force patterned after
the Pennsylvania police force should
be provided for in Georgia at no dis
tant date"
The governor indicated Thursday
that in his opinion. two years or
more would be necessary to thor
oughly organize an efficient state
constabularv. but action should be
taken at this session Of the general

|. To BE MADE PUBLIC
by COURT MONDAY

French Canadian guide, whom James
A. StilIman charges is the father of
Mrs. Stillman's twoyear-old son,
Guy, it was learned authoritatively

These letters, it was said, refer

enthood." Together with another let
ter, which Mrs. Stillman Is alleged to
have written to her mu1timillionaire
husband in 1918, in which she is said
to have admitted her error in a fit
Of hysteria" they are understood to
form the main foundation for Still
mans suit to obtain a divorce and
establish the parentage Of little Guy
Stillman.

expected to be made public Monday,
when Justice Morschauser is sched-
uled to announce his decision on Mrs.
Stillman's application for increase

Bank of Ringgold
And Nearby Stores
Entered by Burglars

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. March "a.
The Bank of Ringgold, at Ringgold,
Ca, was broken into last night by
robbers, who, failing in an attempt
to blow open the vault doors, dug
through the thick brick wall, effect
ing an entrance. The amount of loot
secured had not been determined
early this morning. Bloodhounds
from Chattanooga were called for.
Securing their tools from black
smith snop the burglars went to the
bank, dug through the sidewalk into
the building and then directed their
attack on the vault. The crime was
not discovered until early this morn
! ing.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
to break into the general merchan-
disc store Ge w. o. Ransom at Fort
! Oglethorpe, but the store of Elmer
Chambers close by was entered and a
small amount of cash and merchan-
disc ken. 1t is believed the same

TARIFF FIGHT IN
CONGRESS TOLAST
THROUGH SUMMER
By THEoDoRE TILLER
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
62S Riggs Building.

WASHINGTON. D. c., March "a
Appointment by Chairman Fordney,
Of the ways and means committee,
of sub committees to frame the sew
eral tariff and taxation bills for
consideration al the extra session
means the actual beginning Of an all
summer tariff fight in congress. Only
Republicans are named on these sub
committees, indicating that the only
part Democratic members of the
committee will have in shaping the
bills will be the privilege of COM
ing in and voting against them when
the Republican majority presents the
completed measures.
Beginning with the emergency
farmer tariff and ending with re-
vision of taxation laws, with anti
dumping legislation, American valua-
tion on invoices, and general tariff
legislation sandWiched in between,
the Republican congress has cut out
enough work to run through until
December. A renewal Of the mi
nority filibuster against the emer-
gency agricultural tariff bill was
predicted in Democratic circles at the
capitol building today. Senator Sim
mons, of North Carolina, ranking
Democrat of the finance committee,
who led the filibuster in the clos
ing weeks Of the sixty-sixth con-
gress, is expected again to take UP
tariff. Mr.. Simmons is now at his
home in North Carolina, but has
been advised by telegraph Of the
latest Republican plans for tariff
revision.
1t was said by Persons close to
Senator Simmons today that the
Democrats would be willing to have
a general tariff bill, sponsored by
the party in power, take it's course
but that the minority cannot swal-
low the emergency agricultural tariff
vetoed by President Wilson.
It is the contention of the minority
that the farmer tariff is a virtual
embargo, inviting retaliations by 9TH
er nations; that it is an imperfect,
carelessly considered bit Of. legisla-
ton, and that its chief effect will
be an increase in the cost Of living
and not material aid to the American
producer.
How long the prospective Demo
cratic filibuster will run is profile
NAUTICAL. Indications are that at
least it will be continued until the
Democrats are convinced that the
country fully understands the theory
of the opposition and its claim that
the alleged "sop to the farmers" is
a measure born of politics.
1t is considered impossible to OBJ
tain a cloture rule in the senate.
When the Republicans last session
attempted cloture on the agricultural
tariff the motion received ma
jority of only one, whereas a two
thirds majority was required. Even
with the increased Republican vote
Democrats claim a cloture rule wsll
again fail
On the house side the emergency
tariff bill will be in charge of a
subcommittee comprising Represep-
tatives Young, of North Dakota; Had
ley, of Washington, and Timber
lake, of Colorado. All belong to the
western group Of members who
threatened to "insurge' against the
administration if tariff Legislation
was sidetracked for the prior consid-
GRAFTON of taxation.

Officials Non-Committal
On Possibility Of Trade
Relations With Soviet

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Gov-
eminent officials remained nom
cornmital today regarding the pos
sibl'ity Of a resumption Of trade re-
lations between the United States
and Russia as proposed in the mes
sage from the soviet government to
President Harding and the Ameri-
can congress offering to send a
delegation to this country to ne
gotiate an agreement to that end.
Belief that the Russian appeal,
the text of which was received and
given out by the state department
yesterday was at least being re-
garded with interest by officials as
based primarily on indications that
they have given closest scrutiny to
the recently negotiated British
Russian trade agreement. At the
same time there has been an evil
dent tendency on the part Of the
new administration to interpret with
greater latitude the regulations de-
filming the policy of the Wilson-ad-
ministration in dealing with the
bolshevik government.

Georgia Cowpeas
Are in Demand in
Neighboring State:

That Georgia-raised cowpeas are
in demand in other states to be used
as seed, was demonstrated Thursday
when r. A. Kelley, president of the
Georgia Farm Bureau Federation ex
hibited an order he had just re-
ceived from farm extension agent
in a nearby state urging that the
Georgia Farm Bureau Federation
ship at once seventy-f1ve carloads of
peas.
Mr.. Kelley said that the county
farm bureau agents throughout the
state would be communicated with
at once, and that as quickly as the
peas could be loaded, the order
would be filed.
One hundred and ten thousand
acres of cowpeas were planted by the
farmers of Georgia last year, &C
cording to the government report,
and the total yield was 100000 bush
els. In order to supply the quantity
ordered. it will be necessary to Sc

Russians May Pay
Tax With Produce

LONDON, March 24.-Russian
peasants will be required to pay
taxes in produce under the terms Of
a bill passed unanimously by the
all-Russian central executive COM
mittee, says a wireless dispatch from
Moscow. This will give them the
right to dispose of their surplus
produce under a free trade bill, which
is being elaborated.
This measure is only temporary,
the dispatch declares, and Soviet
authorities hope this method Of pay
ing taxes to the government will
make for closer union between work
ers and peasants. The extreme eco
nomic distress of the country, it is
asserted, compels the Soviet govern
ment to take part of the peasants
produce as a tax, but as industries
develop and foreign trade increases
the amount Of the tax gradually will
be reduced.
The dispatch says that progress in
the development of administrative
machinery will enable the govern
ment to give the peasants other
goods equivalent in value to the
amount of their taxes.
