Mob Violence Is Hit
By Epis copalians;
DR.. Wilmer Takes Part

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. IL
Sweeping denunciations of mob vi
olence Of secret organizations which
foster race and religious prejudice,
is made in a resolution unanimously
adopted by the house of dep
uties of the Protestant Episcopal
church in the United States, in gen
eral convention.
The resolution, approved by q
committee headed by the Rev. DR..
James r. Freeman, of Washington,
D. c., called on the ministry of the
church and school authorities to
teach the sanction of law and gov
eminent and appealed to officers Of
the law to uphold the law and sup.
press all forms of mob violence.
The resolutions as adopted were
combination of resolutions pro-
posed by the Rev. DR.. c. B. Will
mer, of Atlanta, Ga, and the Rev.
DR.. j. D. Wing, of Savannah, Ga.
After reciting that there has been
an increase in violence through mob
action, the resolutions continue:
There appears to be a very close
and intimate connection between
these acts of mob violence and the
recent rapid growth of religious
prejudices and racial apathy fav red
by certain elements in our country

Old-Time Fiddlers
Are Now Tuning Up
For September Meet

The entry lists of the Georgia Old
Time Fiddlers' convention, which
will be held in Atlanta September
20 and 80, are filling up even more
rapidly than ever before, according
to the announcement Saturday of
Virgil w. Shepard, secretary of the
Fiddlers' association.
"This year we expect more fid-
dlers and bigger crowds than at any
time in the past" declared Mr..
Shepard. 1.-THE opening performance
will be given in the city auditorium
on Friday evening, September 20,
and that will be followed by matt
nee on Saturday afternoon and the
championship f1ddling contest Of
Saturday, when the grand prize of a
500 fiddle, donated by the Gable Pr
ano company, and 500 in cash will
be distributed among the winners of
the contest.
"We expect some fierce competi-
ton this year for the grand prize,
the winner of which is officially the
champion fiddler of all Georgia, for
I do not know of a single fiddling
star in the entire state who will not
be present when the curtain rises
for the opening night. In fact, we
have found great difficulty this year
in getting judges for the contest,
since they realize how close it will
be and consequently expect to have
a hard time picking a winner from
so many almost evenly matched ex-
perts."
It is said that nearly a hundred
old.time fiddlers of Georgia are ex-
pected in Atlanta for the annual
contest.

HARRIS ANNULMENT SUIT
ONE OF STRANGEST CASES
EVER In NEW YORK COURTS
TIGER Of FRANCE"
READY FOR j. 6. TRIP

ST. VINCENT, Surjard, Vendee,
France, Sept. 16.-Americans, when
Georges Clemenceau visits them in
November, will find him bronzed,
vigorous, energetic, strenuous, an
her Roosevelt, despite his 81 years.
He greeted the correspondent
with Rooseveltian gestures today,
when asked what he was doing to
prepare himself for his trip to the
United States, where he will ask
Americans to join with the allies In
establishing permanent European
peace.
His course of training for this, his
second sensation. ! "comeback" his
first was when he seized the reins
Of government during the war-con-
sists of getting up before dawn,
tramping miles over muddy roads in
beating rains, receiving hordes Of
visitors, writing furiously at odd
hours on his new book, and indulg-
ing generally n "the strenuous life. !"
At an hour when respectable octo-
genarians ought to be abeC, he was
discovered plugging a muddy half
mile from his home to his garage in
q brisk shower. Living on the
heaths, swept by sea breezes,' has
made him even more tanned than
when he returned from India.
His attire. consisting of knicker-
book 3rs, natty puttees, ro"Sh gray
overcoat, is topped off by his famous
bait red hat, and he carries a stout
cane, apparently exclusively for
hra n6ic hing rl1rnnEnq
bah, it will pass" he exclaimed,
with a glance at the low, sweeping
clouds from which a steady rain
poured.
Then, h regard to r Ameri-
can trip:
''I'n be over there early in No
vember. But the itinerary has not
been fixed yet. I am in the hands of
friends"
"Why shouldn't look fine; I am
fine" he lhouted a moment later,
when some one complimented him
on his ruddy, brisk appearance.
His fellow villagers say they have
never seen tho Tiger so vigorous as
' is today. Even the rigors of an
American winter have no terror for
him, they sly.
In addition to his other labors,
Clemenceau writes scores Of tele.
grams and letters every day, to
friends all over France.
I'm brin~.ng lots of business"
he called to a girl telegrapher as he
charged into the postoffice, beating
several persons to the window.
II wish he go back to Paris"
remarked the overworked clerk to
nobC iy in particular, as Clemenceau
showed clutter of envelopes and
legraph blanks across the sill.
A moment later he us outside,
pushing along in the direction of his
house, talking enthusiastically of
his plans, illustrating with wide
sweeps O. his stick. His beetling
eyebrows shot up and down, as he
emphasized his points, and he
brought bits Of American slang into
his conversation with astonishing
effect.
If he keeps on in his present form
l. ought to be able to tackle Demp-
c = and Edison simultaneously when
he reaches "the states"

WOOD To BE GIVEN
ADDITIONAL LEAVE
BY WALTER j. ROBB

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright 1929
MANILA, P. L., Sept. 16.-J. W.
Ziegler, unofficial representative OF
the University of Pennsylvania
alumni, who has been studying Cen
eral Leonard Woods work as COVER
nor general for several months, and
reporting to Philadelphia, says that
the regents at their next meeting
will grant the general further ex-
tension of leave.
"All MISUNDERSTANDING, said Mr..
Ziegler, "have been Strengthened out
and although several extensions
have been granted additional exten
sions if necessary to enable General
Wood to carry out his work here
will not meet with objection. The
main point is that a mutual under
standing has been reached, and the
university regents know definitely
that he will take up the duties of
provost as soon as possible.
at was reported here that the re-
quests for extending the leave of alb
sence had aroused misgivings main
ly because the regents did not COM
prehend the Importance of General
Woods work in the Philippines.
This I find to be wonderful. The
university selected General Wood be-.
cause he was one of the big men
Of the country; after seeing his work
here I can say without qualification
that he is even greater than We have
realized heretofore. He has wonder
full ability to reach the center Of a
problem without delay or deviation
and arrive at practical solution"
Governor Wood is inspecting the
southern provinces at present, and
is completing his address to the
Philippine assembly which opens DC
tober Is. 1t will relate to the pro-
gram for the next four years. The
governor is still making headway

Middle Class
Appears to Be on Wane
Statisticians Assert

LONDON, Sept. 16.-England is
threatened with the extinction Of
what are loosely termed the middle
classes, the backbone of the enl-
pire." From this stratum have come
the majority Of famous English
statesmen, poets, philosophers, scion
lists and leaders of every branch OF
thought and activity for centuries.
Recently published birth and mar
riage statistics have caused a sen.
sation throughout England and
Wales. They reveal that for years
children had been multiplying in
the slum areas Of London, Liver
geSted centerS at two or three times
the middle-class rate. Most experts
attribute this condition to the heavy
burden of taxation on the ave age
citizen.
Marriages in England and Wales
during the first quarter Of this yea,
show a startling decrease. The cost
of living and abnormal conditions
arising from the war have had a
marked effect on the number Of
LIldIIldSeS.
The government has undertaken
to compile a census showing com
parative birth-rates in various occu-
pations and professions. According
to an official in the office of the
register-general, it will be the most
comprehensive report of it's kind in
existence.
An official government statement
said: This census will bring home
to the public as a whole, the immi.
nent danger Of the passing Of the
middle classes. The disproportion
in the fertility of the comfortable
classes and the slum areas is stag
gering. Population is increasing
rapidly in sections unfit for the
growth Of healthy, useful children,
while it is declining with alarming
rap.dity in the thrifty and wealthy
sections"
The two factors which are steadi-
ly destroying the middle classes"
are:
1. Late marriage and the conse.
quent tendency to limit families.
2. The marked selfishness Of the
younger and pleasure-loving genera
ton. who founder in the morass
of birth control and mailthusian doc

NEW IRISH LEADERS.
SHOWING FIRM HAND
BY WILLIAM III. BRAYDEN
Ieased Wire Service to The Journal.)
Copyright. 1929


DUBLIN, Sept. 1.-the new
Irish government has a stiff back.
In contracting it's membership from
Is ministers to nine, it shows
disposition to attend strictly to bust
ness rather than to debate, and in
parliament it maintained reserve
which no criticism could provoke
Speeches in the dali which, in the
past, would have brought Griffith
and Collins to their feet in retort,
left Cosgrav eand Mulcahy I'M
moved.
What was expected to be an ex-
citing day when the first meeting
of a legally effective Irish parlia-
ment in Dublin since 1900, proved
to be the dullest assembly ever
held in Ireland. The government
made it plain that they would an
swer at the proper time the at
tacks on it's policy, but that it
would ignore such dialectical points
as mainly occupied the dali.
Laurence Ginnell who, alone of
De Valera's, attended to ventilate
these abstract theories and refused
to sign the roll unless he got Il
satisfactory answer, got no answer
at all, and was gently but firmly
thrown out without protest by any
body.
William Cosgrave laid down the
government policy in a few short
sentences. 1t will follow the treaty
enact the free state constitution and
put down disorder. The abolition of
newspaper censorship is an excel
lent move. Censorship really harm
ed the govel nment, had no effect
on military operations and left the
public mind under the impression
that it was kept in the dark.
Secret propaganda vigorously
maintained all along, was more eff
fective from this feeling. The more
people know of the facts the more
certain is their support. Michae!
Collins realized this, and it was
only his absorption in work and his
death which proposed the abolition
Of the censorship until now.
The labor party, the members of
which are the only serious critics
of the government in parliament
ersent this attitude strongly, espe-
cially as many wage reductions in
various trades are foreseen, and thu
government action is taken as set
ting an example for private en-
ployers. Though public opinion is
divided on the merits of the postal
dispute the government relies upon
the urgent desire of most people
that there be a cessation Of the
present disturbed conditions which
the postal strike aggravates. The
public would rather see misplaced
stiffness than policy Of further
uncertainty and drift.

PARENTS SEPARATE
AUGUSTA COUPLE

AIKEN, s. c., Sept. ia tale Of
blasted romance, of a secret mar
rage and a near court fight, with
a wealthy, charming young society
girl of Augusta and young bust
ness men Of Alabama and Kentucky
as the principals has just been re-
vealed here by the disappointed
groom.
The story-parts Of which are
proven by local records and the rest
broadcast by the young man himself
began November last in Augusta,
when Julian A. Pearsons, of Ala
bana, met Miss Margaret G. Nixon,
of Augusta and Grovetown, Ga.
Pearson, who told Judge Of Probate
George R. Webb, of this place, that
he had an annual income Of $4,000,
was introduced to the girl by her
brother at the family home.
Love at first sight is said to have
come to both.
On the seventh day of that month
Miss Nixon told her parents she was
going to visit friends in the country
and took as her passenger Pearsons.
But instead Of visiting the friends III
the country the young people headeo
for Aiken. Arrived they found the
probate office closed and so sought
Judge Webb at his country nome
nine miles fro mtown. At shutdown
they reached the Webb farm, &C
costed Judge Webb and said the girl:
eve want to get married right now"
After questioning the young people
Judge Webb and his wife accompan-
led them back to Aiken where he TIED
the knot with his wife as witness.
The newlyweds asked as a most
special favor that the marriage De
kept secret, as Mrs. Pearsons hao
some few years Of schooling aheao.
The couple left and Judge Webb and
his wife thought no more or the
matter and neither breathed it.
A day or so ago, however, the LOT
mer happy groom appeared In the
office of Judge Webb, low-splrlteo
and crushed, ne told the sequel OF
the marriage.
After the marriage the couple mo-
tored to Augusta, there they sepa'
rated, Pearsons saying he had prom
ised his wife that they would not
live together until she had gotten
her mother and family reconciled to
the marriage.
The groom says he placed large
amount Of money to the credit OF
the bride and went west, and tha1
during his absence she spent $4,000.
He returned at Christmas ana
dined with the Nlxons. At the din
ner, he says, while testing with his
secret wife, she suddenly jumped up,
threw up her hands and screamed
to all at the table, "This is my hus-
band!'
Pearsons declares he then con-
firmed the girls statement and that
after much begging by the family
he signed a paper stating that the
marriage was only trial marriage
and that it was understood that eltE-
err party could back out. He ADDS
that he signed the statement With
out reading it.
Since then, he AYERS, he has learned
that the Nixon family will try tn
prove the marriage illegal and that
the case will be heard i'll an Augusta
court September 10.
Pearsons further alleges that while
stopping at hotel in Augusta his
room was searched, his baggage pilf'
cred and his wico's love letters and
other articles concerning the love
affair and marriage taken.
Probate Judge Webb and his wife
are the only witnesses to the mar
riage and will appear at the hear

Again there is to be a new issue Of
Russian banknotes. The govern
ment has decided to issue small
money tokens to the aggregate
amount Of $4,000 roubles gold. The
commercial classes are alarmed as
they will be the hardest hit. 1t
will be obligatory for them to accept
these money tokens at their face
value, and as it appears the people
at large have little faith in their
value, the first thing expected will
be to convert it into goods.
