FOREIGNERS BLAMED
FOR INCENDIARISM
DESTRUCTION LAST YEA r
WAS S1,370,000 A DAY, OR
1913 PER CAPITA.

To an undesirable foreign element"
in the population Of the United States
may be traced most of the incendiarism
which results in destructive fire losses,
according to J. F. Van Ripper, OF New
York. He spoke on fire prevention be-
fore the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association at its dinner and meeting
at the Southern Hotel. Mr., Van Ripper
is chairman OF the committee on water
sunDlv and fire department of the New
York Fire Underwriters Association,
and is one of the committee on legls-
lation of the National Fire Underwrlt-
ers' Association.
Foreigners, he said, are tricky in
their methods and give most trouble
in court actions. He charged that the
iurv system is at fault in protecting
these criminals in that the average
Juror is prejudiced against corpora
tions and gives the individual the bene-
fit of doubts that may result from
hearings.
The value OF property destroyed by
FIRE in this country in 1920, he said,
was estimated at $500000,OO0, or ST.
$40 900 day. For FIVE years, from 1915
to 1919. he said, fire losses amounted
to the staggering sum OF Sl,4l6,3I5,-
845. an average Of $283,275,l0 year
and $1,000 daily.
In 1919, said the speaker, the aver
age per capita losses by fire IN the
United States was 1913, as against oil
cents in Great Britain. This variance
he asscribed largely to laxity in build
ing regulations and to the fact that
frame construction has comprised
considerable proportion OF dwellings
erected. Deaths from fires in 1920 h
put at about $4,000

GOVERNOR HARDWICK
.PINCHED FOR SPEEDING
WAS ARRESTED IN SPALDING
COUNTY AND TAKEN TO
GRIFFIN BY OFFICERS.

GRIFFIN, Ga.-Governor Hard
wick was arrested in Griffin Thursday
morning for breaking the speed limit
and brought back to the city hall by
Speed Officer Weaver, accompanied
by Patrolman Huckaby on the tandem
machine. The governor was released
on his own recognizance.
The governor, accompanied by ne
gro driver, was making fast time on
the county road between Atlanta and
Griffin when the officers took up the
trail and captured the car after it had
left the business center OF the city and
was proceeding to GAINESVILLE, where
the governor was to make speech.
The governor protested he could not
be arrested. He thought he was out
side the city limits, but the officers
convinced him and returned with the
high official to headquarters, where he
was released. He promised to return
to Griffin any tine the case against
him is to be tried.
The governor and his chauffeur were

RUM FIGHT IS RAGING;

HARD TO ELIMINATE BOOT
LOGGER AND HIS STUFF.
BAHAMAS GROWING, WEALTHY
Supplying Atlantic Coast States With
Great Quantities, and Prices Have
Dropped. Bonded Warehouses Hold
100000 Gallons.

The government. and the bootlegger
after 20 months, are still waging &C
tive warfare, with each claiming the
victory over the other. Government
officials at Washington, however, are
certain that they are slowly but surely
winning and that less liquor is being
sold
The fact that the market price OF
contraband liquor has decreased sharp
1y has given many the impression that
the bootlegger at the moment has the
better of the battle, although Uncle
Sans booze hunters point with pride
to the fact that hundreds Of thousands
of gallons of liquor have been con-
fscated.
officials Want Heaviest Penalties.
Tens of thousands of convictions
have ben obtained in the courts, but
in almost every case the offender down
to the fourth and fifth offense has been
let off with a fine Enforcement Off
cials bemoan the fact that prison SEN
fences have been so few and fines so
light.
Intoxicating beverages in bonded
warehouses in the United States has
been drained from a large supply,
whose exact figures are not disclosed,
down to 100000 gallons during the
last 20 months. There now is less than
two quarts per capita thus stored.
Because they can get booze at home
the thirsty have ceased to look upon
Cuba as a mecca. The Bahamas, ooz-
ing liquor at almost every point, have
grown wealthy and are now supplying
the eastern states with tremendous
quantities. With the closing OF the
Florida season enforcement officials
turned their attention to Nova Scotia
as the logical base for operations.
Poor Quality Causes Price Drop.
Counterfeit labels in packs of hun
dreds of thousands have been turned
out in certain print shops. These labels
are exact duplicates of the originals.
They grace innumerable bottles OF just
plain water, alcohol and coloring. In
New York city 90 per cent Of what is
analysed as whisky consists of water
and alcohol and coloring matter.
In Minneapolis, where pure Cana
dian rye is supposed to be the only
thing on the market, what the boot
logger is selling is the same sort OF
poison that New York gets, except ii
is made in Chicago.

VARIOUS GROUPS IN
SENATE DISSATISFIED
OPPONENTS OF DIFFERENT
PROVISIONS OF TAX BILL
UNABLE TO UNITE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Inability
of the various groups who are dissat-
listed with different provisions of the
pending tax bill to find a common
ground is the one factor which may
enable the measure to escape serious
mutilation in the senate during the
coming week.
While the majority OF the senate
probably is displeased with important
features of the bill, there seems no con-
crete program for further revision
which can command majority vote.
The one important provision IN the
| bill which seems most certain to be
eliminated is that for the continuance
of one more year of the transportation
taxes on a modified basis. There is no
unaninity of opinion, however, as to
the most feasible manner in which to
make up for a loss OF considerably
more than $100,000,000 in revenue.
Farm Bloc" to Confer.
The senators of the agricultural
bloc" probably will be called together
early this week in an effort to agree
upon a program. 1t was intended to
hold the meeting last week, but owing
to a wide difference OF opinion among
members of the group it was consid-
cred wise to give further time Tor dis
cussion of the matter.
Supporters of the Smoot 3 per cent
production, or manufacturers sales tax,
have been trying to bring about 4
coalition which would make possible
the substitution of this tax for both
the excess profits tax and the miscel-
laneous taxes Democratic leaders have
| limited that in case some OF their
amendments were accepted, eliminating
objectionable features IN the bill, they
might support the Smoot amendment.
Nothing definite has developed from
| this.
Excess Profits Tax.
| Senator Snoot is not only Tor the
repeal of the excess profits tax, but
wants to make the repeal retroactive
on income of the calendar year, l9Il,
Senators of the agricultural bloc,
many of whom are against the repeal
of the excess profits tax, would con-
slider it more Objectionable to make
the repeal retroactive than, to have it
apply on income of the calendar year
! 1922, as in the present bill. In view
of this situation the farm group cannot
readily support the production tax as
substitute for the excess profits tax
The most active support for the pro-
duction tax comes from industries
which are affected by present miscella-
neous taxes, such as automobile man
ufacturers, jewelers. and others. The
agricultural senators are not specially
concerned over the miscellaneous taxes.

u. S. BE AT PEACE
BY ARMISTICE DAY
THE ARMY OF OCCUPATION
HAS COST THIS GOVERN
MENT 100000.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Ratihca-
ton of the peace treaties with Ger
many, Hungary and Austria by the
middle of October is assured by unan-
imous consent agreement reached in
the senate to limit debate to one hour
for each on the resolution of ratifca-
ton and not more than ten minutes
on each reservation. This will provide
a vote about October 18th.
The agreement entered into provides
that the treaties shall be kept contin-
uously before the senate, but the sem
ate may proceed with the consideration
of the tax bill if no senator is prepared
to discuss the treaties.
Leaders say that this agreement and
the ratification of the German treaty
by the reichstag few days ago, which
completes the ratification at Berlin, as
sured the actual contamination OF
peace between Germany and the Unit
ed States before the assembling here
of the conference on the limitation OF
ornaments on Nov. IL.
The agreement on the treaties was
not reached until the dry forces had
the assurance of the republican lead
ers that the conference report on the
Willis Campbell bill would come to a
vote before adjournment OF the special
session.
Will Discuss Rhine Armies.
The United States will participate
with the allies in consideration of
measures to reduce the total cost OF all
IL Car1,an nrrnO;ad feTr1-
tory to 240,000,000 gold marks per an
mum, it is stated in American circles
here. The question is to be discussed
at the forthcoming financial conference
in Brussels.
Another question to come before the
conference will be the methods by
which the United States is to be paid
for the accumulated cost OF the up
keep of her army on the Rhine. This
problem is giving the allied experts
concern, inasmuch as Germany con-
tends that her first indemnity payment
covered fully her obligations to date
for the maintenance of all the armies
of occupation. Germany bases her con-
tention upon the treaty of Versailles,
which stipulates that the cost of the
armies shall have priority over all 9th
er charges and should have been taken
out of the first indemnity instalment.
U. S. Spent $3.50, 100000.
The United States has expended
nearly $3.50, 100000 for the mainte-
nance of her forces of occupation,
Should the allies accept the German
position, as American circles here re-
gard as probable, the United States
would have to collect the cost from
the allied governments, among whom
the first indemnity payment is expect
ed to be divided.
1t had been unoficially suggested
that Anierlca accept German indemnity
bonds, class A, in payment for the
army's upkeep, These bonds mature in
forty years and pay 5 per cent.
