LEGISLATURE WILL
PROBE RACIAL ISSUE
SENATOR WATSON HAS AP-
PROVED PROPOSED IN
CURRY IN MATTER.

ATLANTA, Ga.-That there will
be a legislative probe of the negro
question in the state on the issue OF
the pamphlet, The Negro in Geor..
gia," and the numerous criticisms of
it, is now to be taken as foregone
conclusion.
Senator Watson has put his stamp
of approval on legislative investiga-
ton, which is in effect ordering it, and
there is now taken to be no further
doubt that the resolution for such an
investigation will be introduced.
Mr.. Watson, in a severe arraign-
ment of the incident, says: TO handy
epithets gets us nowhere; to examine
the official records does get us some
where, and the man who learns from
those passionless records how stealth
lily the negro have accumulated all
sorts of property since slavery days
will feel like giving to the tadd1sts
and fanactics of the inter-racial socie-
ty stern warning to mind their own
business, and not to inhan1e racial an
tagonism in Georgia.
"At the same time. | am heartily IN
accord with those who favor the FULL
est investigation by legislative COM
mittee of the whole question so untor-
ttnately handled by Gov. Dorsey"

HARDWICk is TO
INVITE QUESTIONS
NEW GOVERNOR TO ASK LEG
ISLATORS TO QUIZZ HIM
DURING ADDRESS.

ATLANTA, Ga.-That Governor
elect Hardwick not only will address
in person. the house and senate in joint
session concerning important problems
of the state, but will welcome and in
vite questions and criticisms from the
floor in the course of his addresses,
was made known today by him.
This plan of dealing with the gen
eral assembly, Mr.. Hardwick believes,
will go a step further than governors
have gone in any other state. 1t IS
not unusual for governors to address
their legislatures in person, but very
unusual and extraordinary to invite
questions and criticisms from the floor
in the course of their addresses.
Better Understanding.
Mr.. Hardwick believes this plan of
dealing with the legislature will bring
about a better understanding between
the executive and legislative branches
by informing each of the others view
point and problems and difficulties.
Mr.. Hardwiek also plans to hold
frequent conferences with the heads
of the departments of the state gov
eminent, forming them into an unof-
fetal cabinet
Mr.. Hardwick will be inaugurated
governor two weeks from next Satur-
day, and large crowd is expected to
attend the exercises.

TAX INVESTIGATORS OF
STATE In LAW SUIT
FALL OUT OVER $12,500 COM
MISSION ONE RECEIVED
FOR A COLLECTION.

ATLANTA, Ga. Two of the
states special tax investigators, en-
gagged in the collection of past due ad
valorem taxes on a commission basis,
are engaged in controversy involv-
ing $12,50O taken as commission on
tax collection of $37, 500 paid by one
estate in Camden county. Suit has
been filed in the Fulton superior court
by A. S. Allen, of Decatur, against
T. F. Roberts, of Greensboro, seeking
to collect from the latter the sum OF
$685. or half the original commits
sion of $l2,500.
Some time ago the policy was es-
tablshed by the state of appointing
several special tax Investigators to
ferret out past due inheritance taxes.
ad valorem taxes and special taxes OF
various kinds. Acting under the dl-
rection of Tax Commissioner H. J.
Fullbright these investigators, Blu ne
gotiation or legal process, secured the
Davment of such taxes, retaining. a
certain percentage as commission, this
being their method of compensation
The commission on special taxes was
originally 20 per cent, but was reduc
ed to IS per cent not long ago. It is
indicated in the suit brought by Allen
that the commission on past due ad
valorem taxes is 80 1-3 per cent. =.
1t appears that Allen was assigned
to territory which included Camden
county and in his official capacity be-
gan negotiations for the collection OF
past due ad valorem taxes on the es-
tate of a Mrs. Carnegie. Roberts is
alleged to have taken hand in the
proceedings, and, disregarding the
protests Of Allen, collected the taxes
and took $12,50O, or one-third of the
total collections, as his commission
claiming that Roberts "poached" on
his territory. The suit was filed by
the firm of Branch and Howard.

Modem Dress Gives
Mosquito an Appetite
Chicago Official Unable to Cope With
Pest Under Present Conditions.

CHICAGO, Ill.-River Forest is
one of Chicago's exclusive residential
suburbs. All had been quiet and Sc
rene in the village until a few weeks
ago, when swarns OF mosquitoes arm
ed with we'll whetted drills appeared
on the scene. ,
With one accord the residents - Ii"
on the village administration, charging
that failure to oil tract OF low ground
on the Des PLANES river resulted in
the coming OF the plague. Here is part
of what Arthur Pohlman, superin-
tendent of streets for the village, told
a delegation Of "kickers" today:
The oiling of the swamp isn't the
half of it. The mosquitoes aren't much
worse this year than before, but they
are receiving more encouragement. 1t
used to be that a mosquito with nor
mai set of tools would wear out his
drills in an hour or two and go back
to his swamp and die OF chagrin.
'Now. look at the styles. They're
wearing 'em higher and they're rolling
'en down and even a mosquito can
see the answer to that. The people
who are bowling the loudest are the
ones who are inviting the mosquitoes
TO free lunch every night.
pretty soon I'll be getting conf
olaints that the bugs don't sing in the
right key. You just can't please ev-
erybody."

INFLUENCE OF DRY
CHAMP is LESSENED
WAYNE B. WHEELER NOT IN
GOOD FAVOR WITH SECRE-
TARY MELONS, FRIENDS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Wayne B.
Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti
Saloon League, is not to have as much
to say in the issuance of regulations
for the manufacture, sale or use of in
toxicating liquors for medicinal pur-
poses, according to reports around
the treasury department.
Friends of Mr.. Mellon charge
Wheeler with digging up the story
that he (Mellon) was interested in
large quantities of whisky manufac-
tured and held by the Overholt Com
pany and launching a fight against
his confirmation For that and other
reasons the Anti-Saloon League lead
err is not as popular at the treasury
department as he used to be.
1t is the general understanding that
a new deal throughout the dry section
of the prohibition enforcement service
of the treasury department is desired
by Mr.. Mellon. 1t was explained to-
day that this does not mean an anti
prohibition administration, but fair
and lust enforcement of the law as
interpreted by the department Of JUS
tice and the courts. If decisions are
in favor of those who use whisky,
beer. wine and other intoxicants for
medicine they will get the benefit of
the law.
Many Slated for AK.
Some of those who will go as soon
as Mellon and Blair can make ar
rangements to fill their places are Jno.
F. Kramer, prohibition commissioner;
Capt. D. Spencer Bliss, assistant pro-
hihtion commissioner, and all deputy
commissioners now on duty. Solicitor
Carl A. Mapes and Chief Chemist
Adams.
The purpose OF this jostling up pro-
gram is to get clean slate for new
start. Republicans will take the places
of democrats wherever it is possible,
for the demand for jobs is SO great
that every one available is being used.
1t was explained today that the white
house is going on the theory that the
overthrow of democrats last year in
dicated that the people wanted diff
ferent sort of administration, and the
only way to give it is to GUST those
who were in and substitute for them
those who were out.
This rule does not reach into the
civil service positions, but in cases
where democrats promoted persons in
the classified service the republicans
will succeed them.

War Secrets Book Stirs
Official Washington on
The Eve of Publication
Inside History of Lansing's Dismissal
Will Be Told. Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson in Narrative.

The name of the writer of Mirrors
of Washington" the book of war Sc
crets which is worrying some OF the
most important figures in the national
capital, is to remain a secret, if the
publishers succeed in their plan.
Around the clubs, in the embassies
and at the capital the guessing is on
in earnest. 1t is coming to be a pas
time and it is expected that it will con-
tinue for some time. Those expected
to be discussed in the book include
President Harding, Woodrow Wilson,
William G. McAdoo, Newton D. Ba-
ker, Josephus Daniels, William J.
BRYAN, Senators Hiram Johnson, Hen
nv Cabot Lodge and others.
One of the features of the book, is
said to be an inside story of the dis
missal by Mr.. Wilson of Robert Lam
sing, former secretary of state. There
is mention, too, of Rear Admiral Gray
son. who was the white house physi-
clan under Mr.. Wilson. There are
some interesting things to be said
about Mrs. Wilson and what part she
had to play in politics.
The question OF who wrote the book
narrows down to the few who were
in position to know what happened
and vet were not responsible for any
of the work which was done. All ques-
ton as to whether the book is au-
thentic and was prepared by some such
person is dismissed by the fact that
the firm, which has attempted the
publication is long established and re-
liable

EVERY PAPER READ
BY FOUR PERSONS
DAILY SALES IN THE UNITED
STATES IS TWENTY-EIGHT
MILLION COPIES.

ATLANTA, Ga.-About $4,000, 00C
copies of newspapers are now sold
daily in the United States, according
to local publishers who have been
furnished with statistics on circula-
ton. Practically everybody reads
newspaper.
Hence the average paper is read by
four persons. In many communities IN
Georgia, as circulation managers
know, the average paper has an aver
age of FIVE readers for every copy sold.
That should interest advertisers, de-
clares an Atlanta advertising man.
incidentally, one may wonder how
many times a paper is read after it IS
thrown into the waste basket and be-
fore it reaches the machine that makes
it into pulp that, in turn, becomes
strawboard or wrapping paper.
For who, except a rag-picker, it is
pointed out, can resist glancing at the
headlines of a newspaper, no matter
how old it may be or where it is dis
covered?
Housewives, who in changing news
papers on pantry shelves stop to read
the headlines or look at the pictures,
will vouch for that.
The correspondent OF this news, ser
vice has pointed out to news sources
that one million people in Georgia
alone reads what he writes. The COM
bined circulation OF newspapers which
he represents in his home state alone,
to say nothing of outside territory,
estimating that four persons read each
newspaper, easily approximates a mil
lion or more of the friendliest OF
friends, THE Gentle Reader"

HONEYMOON SPECIAL
TO UNITED STATES
SOON TO LEAVE COBLENZ TO
BRING AMERICANS WHO
MARRIED IN EUROPE.

COBLENZs-Married soldiers of
the American forces of occupation
have been ordered to report with their
families for immediate transportation
to the United States on honeymoon
special. At a casual depot today can
be seen the result of the order, long
anticipated by members of the Rhine
forces who have taken flyers in matri-
mony during their sojourn in Europe.
There are 168 wives and 70 children
housed in wooden barracks built es-
pecially for the purpose and even
equipped with emergency cradles.
But the authorities are not willing
to take chances of family rows, SO the
husbands are quartered IN another
part of the camp, separated by high
wire fence, and they are only permitted
to call at certain hours during the day.
This, however, raised one difficulty,
for the wives are of many nationali-
ties and a number cannot speak Eng
lish and officials charge they are hav-
ing difficult time making their in
structions understood.
AS far as the privates are concerned
the Rhine army now is one hundred
per cent bachelors, as the stock o.
married men gradually accommodating
in the last few months now is entirely
depleted, but, unless the supply Of
willing frauleins is exhausted and
there is no indication that this is the
csae, other married mems detach-
ments will be sent periodically to
America, according to the strict army
ruling, as long as the forces remain
in Germany

As game, according to an Atlanta
