Scientist Plans Hole in Earth Twelve
Miles Deep to Hidden Heat Reservoir

start to four inches when the hole is
completed. ,
The drill and cable would be lifted
bv pulley arrangement with a lift
ing power of 900 tons. The power for
drilling would be generated from d
plant on wheels. This plant would
be on a track IL miles long, allowing
the maneuvers of the cable at any
stage of the drilling. Brophy takes
into account the fusion of metal at
great depths, and when the heat be-
comes so great that the drill would
melt he would drop bars of steel into
the tubes. This steel would keep the
tubes open, would be so powerful that
they would crush through solid rock
and fall into the heat reservoir to be
consumed.
"The heat at the source would be
not less than 1900 to 1000 degrees"
said Mr.. Brophy in explaining his
plan. Heat units would decrease in
transit to the surface, but steady
flow would regulate that. Steam gen
Grated at the source of heat supply
would be used TO generate electricity
which could be metered out to great
distances"

WASHINGTON, D. &C. P.
Goree, of Atlanta, head of large ele-
ment of Georgia republication, had
an important conference with Presi-
dent Harding today on the party sit
uation in Georgia, including the prob
lens of patronage and reorganization.
1t has been said by the president
that the Georgians must get together
on the new basis if they expect to
have their reasons carry weight at the
white house.
Meeting Will Be Held.
Accordingly, plan is understood to
have been agreed upon whereby a
meeting will be held in Atlanta about
June 1st, composed of perhaps a hun
bred representative business men be-
longing to the republican party, who
will be selected by the national chair
man from lists submitted subsequent
ly by Goree, Adamson and Henry
Lincoln Johnson.
The Atlanta meeting 50 arranged
will work a reorganization OF the

JOB HOLDERS FEAR
ADMINISTRATION AK
MANY PLACES THREATENED.
STATE POLITICIANS SPEC
ULATE UPON CHANGES.

ATLANTA, Ga.-"Where will the
political ak fall after the third week
in June?" The question is one fruit
full of very large speculation, and at
this time is giving some concern
around the capitol Ever since the
late and memorable campaign there
have been rumors and more rumors
about the abolition of all kinds OF Of
fees and things about the seat OF state
government That half OF the talk will
materialize nobody believes, but still
all the talk is leaving everybody guess
ing and somewhat ''up in the air"
About the most concrete thing that
comes out of all the discussion so far
is the fact that the special tax inves-
tigators' are now occupying the po-
sition of orphans Commissioner Full
bright in his report has recommended
that they must stay right where they
out of his department. He believes
they ought to be in the department. OF
the controller general. Therefore, they
seem to have lost their present home.
General Wright says, in effect,
nothing doing" to the proposition to
put them in his department. He doesn't
want them, and expresses the belief
that they must tay right where they
are; that the Legislative by special
enactment put them in Mr.. Full
bright's office.
Then, out of the rumors comes the
undercurrent belief that they are go
ing to be chopped out" by the new
administration.
Another lot OF talk is that several
new departments which were created
during and since the war may be in
cluded on the slate OF things to 60"
But, nobody can tell, really, just
what will come out of all of it until
the legislature meets.

IDLE COTTON MILLS
SHOW WAR EFFECT
INDUSTRY IN EUROPE IS HIT
HARD BY TRADE SLUMP,
AS REPORTS SHOW.

LONDON, Eng.-War's ravages
trade depression and chaotic industrial
conditions have completely or partially
stopped 54,S7O0O0 cotton spindles in
Europe.
These figures indicate the serious
crisis into which the cotton trade has
entered and are taken from statistics
compiled by the International Cotton
Federation, which has just completed
inquiries in all the countries OF the
world as to the number OF splndles
idle during the last half year.
English Mills Idle.
The figures relating to England are
particularly interesting, because OF the
unprecedented mill buying boom OF
twelve months ago, when practically
every mill in Lancashire changed own
ership at six to seven times their act
ual value.
Out OF the 56,351,570 spinning spin
dies existing at the present time in
England returns of 51,382,892 have
been received, and of these 40,337, oZZ
are reported to be working short time
10 the o&lGill vi JOI'JO lIOdl D -
dicates that practically the whole in
dustry has been idle for a period OF
over six weeks, while more than 1000.
900 spindles have actually gone out OF
existence during the last six months.
Russia Now Fourth.
The French federation calculates
the total number OF spindles IN rance
is 100000, and that this figure IN
cludes 1,375,0OO completely stopped IN
consequence of the war. The French
figures show that 2,069,422 have stopp-
ed on an average about 409.87 hours;
There are in Germany 9,4OO,OUO
spindles and about 2,75O,O0O were
stopped.
Russia is now only the fourth larg-
est cotton spinning country OF En- En-
rope, possessing altogether a,lOoOoo
spindles. OF those only 10000 were
working at the beginning of this year

BAND OF YEGGMEN
ARE, ROUNDED UP
CROOKS WHO ROBBED SASSER
BANK AND OTHERS PROB
ABLY AMONG NUMBER.

The roundup of a famous band OF
yeggmen, charged with robbing more
than a hundred banks and postofices
in every state from South Carolina to
New York over a period of two years
has been completed in Columbia, ).
c., by postofice inspectors.
Federal inspectors have been scour-
ing the country for these men fo1
eighteen months. Some of the defend
ants are wanted in as many as eight
states for robbery, the inspectors de-
clared.
The men, all of whom are held in
default of heavy bonds, are:
William Brawley, Dewey Dennis,
Alex CARTRIDGE, Lloyd Lorrick, Will
liam Norvell, Willis CARTRIDGE, J. M.
Golf. Watson Wallace, alleged by
inspectors to be the chief of the band,
is under arrest in Springfield, ILL., All
the others were arrested in or near
Columbia.
Long Chain of Robberies. 4
A long chain OF robberies in approx
imately one-third of the states in the
union is charged to the gang, and in
their capture the inspectors believe
they have the men who are response
Bile for the robbery from the banks
and postofices of tremendous sums.
According to inspectors who laid the
trap that finally caught the alleged
yeggmen the band had its southern
headquarters in Columbia, and its
eastern headquarters in New York.
Its members had been constantly en-
gagged in doing bank and postoffice
''jobs" for two years, and up to few
months ago they had completely BAT
fed the authorities who were seeking
to apprehend them, inspectors declar-
ed.
The yeggmen made speciality OF
ri1ing safe deposit vaults in banks and
their efforts in this direction netted
them countless thousands said the in
spectors.
They rifed postofices and blew
bank safes in a dozen or more Caro-
lima towns on an average of once a
year, and then proceeded eastward,
taking banks and postoffices almost
as they came to them, the inspectors
said. A large number of their efforts
were unsuccessful, but the hauls made
from the successful robberies made
their regular expeditions extremely
profitable, it was stated.
Among the number of crooks who
are in the tolls are probably the ones
who robbed the Bank of Sasser, the
Bank OF Morgan, the bank at Cole
man and others in this section.

Would Impeach Governor if Charges
Are Not True, or Punish Judges
If They Are True.

Macon, Ga. = Thorough investi-
cation OF alleged conditions in
Georgia. as published in the pamphlet
issued by Gov Dorsey with refer
ings, peonage and iawlessness will be
made by committee of the house of
representatives when the assembly
convenes in Atlanta next month, if a
resolution which will be introduced
by Representative Ben ]. Fowler, of
Bib county, is adopted.
In the preamble to the resolution,
Mr.. Fowler declares that the charges
of the governor should be investigat-
ed, and if found to be true that the
judges or peace officers guilty should
be punished and that adequate laws
should be enacted to prevent such con-
ditions. The representative also de-
clares that if the charges are not true
that the governor should be impeach-
ed.
The resolution calls for the appoint
ment of a committee of nine members

HARDWIGk WILL
DEFEND GEORGIA
GOVERNOR-ELECT GETS MANY
MISUNDERSTANDING HIS
M'DONOBGH SPEECH.

ATLANTA, ESsGa. = Governor-elect
Hardwick has received invitations
from all paris OF the state to
deliver the address he delivered at
McDonough oh2 the occasion of the
centennial celebration of the found
ing of Henry county, in which he Sc
verelv criticisedg Governor Dorsey for
issuing the now famous pamphlet on
race RELATIONSHIP Georgia.
Mr.. Hardwick began preparing
three weeks ago statement denounc-
ing the pamphlet as an outrageous
SANDER upon the state and its people
and institutions. He was working on
the information. to be contained in that
statement when the storm of protest
broke loose from other quarters. In
his speech at McDonough the gov
ernor-elect took occasion to denounce
the pamphlet in general terms with
out particularizAng as to the cases
mentioned by Governor Dorsey.
Over twenty kilograms and letters
reached me in one day requesting me
to make the same speech, and most
of them came from different places, "
said Governor-eleCt HardWick.
Caustic Comment on the Inter Racial
Committee.
Mr.. Hardwick, of course, is not the
only political antagonist OF Governor
Dorsey who is rather elated over the
governors discontinue. In practically
every quarter where politics and poll
ticians are discussed the storm OF pro-
test over the governors pamphlet is
the principal topic of conversation.
Most of those discussing the sub
iect are disposed to give the governor
credit for sincere and worthy motives
in publishing the pamphlet, but they
fail to understand the process of reas-
oning by which he reached the con-
clusion that such publication would
accomplish good results. The gist OF
the comment being heard here might
be summed UP in this expression:
THE governor was handling a
stick OF dynamite He ought to have
known that it would explode and blow
his head off"
Members of the inter-racial com
mittee, self-appointed body OF which
Marion NJ. Jackson is secretary, are
coming in for no small share of rather
caustic comment i'll connection with
the storm which RACES around the
governor.
1t is known that the governors in
terest in race relations in the state
has been prompted to greater or
less extent by the active solicitations
of this committee. They have conduct
ed on their own account somewhat
extensive investigation OF alleged cases
of peonage, night-riding and lynching,
and have kept the governor supplied
with a more or less constant stream
Of information.

IS LIKELY TO ORDER
INQUIRY INTO FARMING
RULES COMMITTEE TO PASS
UPON REQUEST OF AGRI-
CULTURAL INTERESTS.
JOINT INVESTIGATION SOUGHT

Probe Will Cover Six Points Design
ed to Bring Out Causes of Depres-
sion, Including the Federal Reserve
Bank System.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The house
committee on rules is scheduled to
take action tomorrow that will bring
on a congressional inquiry to deter
mine what is the matter with agri-
culture"
After years agitation, in which
representatives of various farmers or
CARNATIONS have appealed to the fed
eral reserve board, the war finance
corporation, other government agen-
cies and private capital, such pressure
has now been eXerted upon house
leaders that a congressional investlga-
ton seems in immediate prospect.
The house committee has before it
resolution introduced by Senator
Lenroot and Representative Strong,
of Kansas, proposing that there shall
be created a "joint combination of
agricultural inquiry" This commission
will comprise five senators and five
representatives, appointed by the pre-
siding officers OF the respective hous-
eS.
Rules Committee Approves.
A subcommittee OF the rules COM
mittee has given tentative approval to
the proposed investigation and indi-
cations today were that the full COM
mittee and the house would authorize
it. The Joint commission will be di-
rected to investigate and report to
congress within 90 days on the follow
ing subjects:
The causes OF the present condi-
ton of agriculture.
The cause OF the difference be-
tween the prices OF agricultural
products paid to the producer and
the ultimate cost to the consumer.
The comparative condition OF in
dustries other than agriculture.
The relation of prices of commod-
tiles other than agricultural prod
ucts to such products.
The banking and financial re-
sources and credits of the country,
especially as affecting agricultural
credits.
The marketing and transporta-
ton facilities of the country.
Cunning For Reserve System.
1t is proposed that the joint com
mission shall have full power to com.
pei the attendances OF witnesses, who
shall testify under oath, and also tc
compel the production of books and
papers.
Hearings on the resolution at which
farmer representatives appeared indi-
Gated that the committee would be
asked specially to prove whether the
federal reserve system has rendered
proper aid to the industrial industry
claims being advanced that the reserve
system had been negligent in its ex-
tension of credit to farming while IA
voring other industries.
