LATEST MURDER FARM
STORY is PREMATURE
GREAT HARM IS BEING DONE
GEORGIA BY SENSATIONAL
PUBLICATIONS.

. ATLANTA, Ga.-According to Vim
cent Hughes, head of the federal bu
reau of investigation, the story of AN
other murder farm in South Georgia"
carried in an Atlanta newspaper and
sent broadcast throughout this and
other states, with the statement that
"a high state official had expressed
the view that the federal government
at Washington should take charge Of
the enforcement OF law in Georgia,
was woefully exaggerated, and alleged
statement of the high official has been
the subject of much unfavorable COM
ment and criticism. Mr.. Hughes makes
the statement that he was quoted with
out authority, and made to say things
he had never thought of.
Certain reports have been furnished
his department by District Attorney
Hooper Alexander, he says, carrying
information given Mr.. Alexander that
three negroes held in peonage now
are believed to have been killed on a
farm in South Gorgia, which Mr..
Hughes declined to name tor the OBJ
vious reason that his department has
to make an investigation of all such
reports.
District Attorney Alexander, when
asked about the report, said: Il dc
not know that what was printed in the
papers this morning was at all war
ranted. In fact, don't know that the
report is true at all, | have made nc
investigation OF it. nor do l expect tC
do so. However, | do not make those
investigations, but refer all matters O
that kind to the bureau of investiga
ton"
A new and very important angle o.
the peonage crusade, it is alleged, i;
just now beginning to come to the
surface. In the last several days there
have been a number of complaints
from substantial and unquestionable
farmers of the state that the agitation
is running the farm labor in Georgia.

U, S. WEATHER NOT
"MADE IN AMERICA"
MOST CLIMATIC PHENOMENA
OF FOREIGN ORIGIN, OFF,
CIAL EXPERTS SAY.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-People
who complain about the weather, who
kick because it is too cold, too hot, or
too windy as the case might be, are
reminded by the National Geographic
Society that the weather is not home
brewed.
Most OF it comes sweeping in from
other countries, blowing up beyond
the three miles limit without passport
or tariff restrictions. Some of it might
bear the brand, Made in the u. S.
A." but as general thing it is inn
ported.
Most Storms Foreign.
For the most part the American
supply of rain, SHOWS, Billiards, cold
waves and hot waves, tornadoes and
tempests come tunbling in from the
northwest and the west. A smaller per
centage, the society reports, come
from the north and southwest, but
now and then the wind in the gulf OF
Mexico and the south Atlantic kicks
up its heels, and there is trouble.
But, say the learned men OF the
society, it is worth noting that none
of the weather enters the country
through the stretch of the Atlantic
coast north OF Cape Hatteras, the sec
ton into which pours the vast bulk
of material imports and which iccurs
majority Of the main disasters on
American shores.
Many From Pacific.
There is some consolation to en-
thusiasts for the Made in America
movement, the society says, in the
fact that the great majority of dis
turbances that enter the states orig
mate in Alaska, or in the great warm
cauldron of the north Pacific between
the Aleutian islands and Hawaii, which
is almost United States sea.
So the weather is not subject to
regulation. There is no way of sup
pressing high and low disturbances.
Atmospheric pressure is boss of its
own whims The grounding is not
nearly so accurate a prophet as lit
tie vane at the edge of the sea.
The areas of disttrbance-'loWs'
and 'highs'-made familiar to large
numbers OF people by the rough cir
cIes and ellipses that indicate them on
the daily weather maps of the weather
bureau" says the society bulletin,
"cross the continent usually in three
or four days Usually rain or snow
falls in the low areas or slightly i'll
advance of them. The rains that oc-
cur in the arid parts of the west, how
ever, usually follow the passage of
the lows.

Would Do Sporty Thing by Uncle Sam.

The fact that gambling is lille
gal does not affect the obligation. As
for bootleggers' profits there 81 still
less question in their case.
THE big puzzle is how to get the
man who makes a profit illegally to
declare it in his income tax return.
This would mean his immediate. arrest
and certain conviction because income
tax returns are made under cath which

bureau officials call the matter joke,
pointing ort that it would be as reas-
enable to expect burglars and second
story men to pay taxes on their loot.
Other officials, however. have at times
given consideration to the problem OF
how to tax the national kitty.
"One new proposal has been made
that appeal be addressed TO all men to
declare their gambling winnings by
simply adding them in with their le-
gal earnings and salaries. If the APP
peal were couched in sporting spirit
many real sports. it is argued, would

Flying Bootlegger Caught
By the Savannah Police
Eighty Quarts Found in Craft, But
Owner of Flyer Was Not Caught.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Call the Geor-
gia legislature and amend the state
prohibition law.
Savannah police have captured a
flying bootlegger, and now it is found
there is no law under which the aero
plane can be conhscated and sold. The
state law applies to vehicles that go on
the ground or in the water, but it is
silent when it comes to flying ma
chimes.
Early last night the police caught
80 quarts of booze in an aeroplane in
Dafin Park. The owner OF the car has
not yet been found. The state and gov
eminent authorities are comforting to
know what to do with the car. 1t is
not expected anyone is going to vol
unfairly claim the liquor at this stage
of the proceedings.
