D. c. HEADS TAKE UP
DATA ON THEATERS

The Commissioners have before
them for action this afternoon the
completed report of the committee of
experts which carefully inspected the
approximately seventy-five theaters
and motion picture houses of the
city.
Engineer Commissioner Keller
stated before going into conference
with the committee at 10 O'Clock
this morning that the Commissioners
| might have something to make pub
lie on the theater situation later in
the day.
Proposed "Ffrst STEP,
The first step of the city fathers
will be to adopt the new building
regulation drafted yesterday by Cor
poration Counsel Stephens, which
gives them the right to revoke i'm
mediately the license of any theater
found to be unsafe or a fire menace
until such conditions are corrected.
With this regulation to work under,
the Commissioners then will decide
whether any of the conditions found
by the investigating committee war
rant the closing Of any playhouse or
movie theater.
Realizing that it is in the interest
OF the public and the theater owners
to settle the question as quickly as
possible, the Commissioners will lose
no time in deciding what action is
necessary on the report of the inspec-
tion committee.

Large Cantaloupe
Acreage in Bibb

MACON, Ga, March 7.-Between
100 and $50 cars Of cantaloupes will
be shipped to eastern and western
markets from Bibb county this year,
providing an average yield is har-
vested from the acreage that is to be
planted. Last year only thirty-eight
cars were shipped, which brought
the farmers about 100000, to say
nothing Of the money they received
from the melons sold on the local
market.
Four shipping points have already
been established in different sections
of the county and the melons will be
graded, packed and moved to the sta
tions where they will be shipped on
carload lots. All the crates have al
ready been purchased through the
Bibb County Farm bureau. The
farmers also purchased their canta-
loupe seed through their bureau and
realized a neat saving in buying this
way.
Seventeen carloads of cabbage were
shipped by farmers of this county
last year, and not less than fifty
cars will be moved from Bibb this
year, according to conservative estl-
mates made by County Agent w. G.
Middlebrooks., Other vegetable crops
will be shipped this year but not in
such large quantities, as the farmers
are only experimenting with such
crops as beans, tomatoes and beets.

Two of Witnesses
For Fatty Arbuckle
Indicted for Perjury

SAN FRANCISCO, March s.
Mrs. Minnie Neighbors, Of Los An
geles, and Mrs. Frances S. Bates,
of Chicago, who testified for the de-
Tense in the trials Of Roscoe c.
c'Fatty') Arbuckle, were indicted on
perjury charges early Tuesday by
the county grand jury.
Mrs. Nei2hb testified at Ar
buckles trial that she saw Miss Wiz
ginia Rape, in connection with
whose death Arbuckle is accused of
manslaughter, at Wheeler Hot
Springs, Cal, in August, 1921, and
that Miss Rape had suffered two
sick spells while at the Hot Springs.
District Attorney Matthew Brady,
after the grand jury session, said
he had presented the jury with evil
dence to prove Miss Rape was not
at the springs at the time stated by
Mrs. Neighbors.
Mrs. Bates testified at the second
trial of Arhuckle. She said she
worked with Miss Rape in Chi
cago department store in 1913, where
the film actress had been employed
as a model.
Brady said he furnished the grand
jury with records from the Chicago
store to show that Mrs. Bates work
ed at the establishment in 1909, was
discharged in 1910, and had not been
re-employed by the store.

SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON
For March 12-Amos 6.
BY DR.. MARION NH. HULL

ton and support self proves always
to be-
These were the steps in IsraeTs
downfall. Success; dissatisfaction
with present possessions; desire for
more; selfishness; Indulgence; in
creasing demands to satisfy selfish
desires; forgetfulness Of others nj the
necessity for self satisfaction. Out of
this in Israel Amos saw there had
developed luxurious living, oppres-
sion of the poor, injustice, intern
perance, and immortality. And yet
withal Israel was deeply religious
they never neglected the perform
ance of every religious duty so far
as the outward life was concerned.
They observed the religious festi-
walls, they gave offerings, they went
through all the services, most pune
tiously.
To cap it all, they prided them
selves in being Gods people, and
felt secure in the thought that they
were the first families"-F. f. VS.!
And yet they were rotten to the core.
Like a basket Of summer fruit, full
ly ripe and spelling.
In the passage selected for the les
son today Amos denounces their
luxurious living, their false sense
of security, their Indifference to
the rapidly approaching destruction,
their jazz music and their drunken
ness, their profligacy and their in
difference to their nations condi-
ton. He foretells their utter de-
struction, so that an uncle will be
the nearest relative left to perform
the last rites for them, and that not
one of them shall be left to thank
God for his escape. He shows them
that it is as impossible to do any
thing with them as it would be to
ploW rocks, and that their trust in
their own strength will be the very
place where their downfall will be-
gin. for God will not stand for that.
Present Day Amos and Israel
AS we read this priceless literary
gem, the literature is forgotten in
the message it presents to America
Of 1922. The unwonted prosperity
Of 1888 has been followed by OPP
preston, by injustice, by luxurious
living, by Indifference to the afflic-
tons of the nation-the nations
deepest needs, by a sense Of security,
Indifference to the signs of the
times, by pride of position, by drunk
enness, by immortality such as the
world has never known. And withal,
there is religiousity that is appall-
ing-"a form of goodness, but deny
ing the power thereof" 1t means
nothing to be a church member to-
day-some Of the worst people are
church members, and so far as the
world goes are respectable. Save
the word! Respectable church mem
bers, men and women, old and
young, yet gamblers, and drunkards,
and immoral, and selfishly indulgent
and forgetful of others, even those in
their own homes so long as their own
ends are served!
Oh, God of Amos, save this people.
Make them realize their imminent
danger and turn their hearts to seek
Thee before it is too late. For Jesus
Christ's sake. Amen.

P ices Unchanged
In Wool Market

BOSTON, March 7.-Prices in the
wool market here remained about
unchanged today. There was no ac-
tivity on the buying side manifested
by large manufacturers. The tone
of the market, however, has been
improved by the activity of the
women's wear manufactures, who
are reported extremely busy. The
slightly easier tone of the London
sales on some grades of wool was
expected here. More interest was
manifested in pulled wnols in view
of the recent interstate commerce
commissions decisions that rates
from Chicago to New England are
unreasonable.

Hays Takes Up Duties
AS "Movie" Executive

NE WORK, March will II.
Hays, former postmaster general,
took up his duties yesterday as eX-
'ecutive president Of the motion pic
ture manufacturers and distributors
of America.
He spent most of the first day in
his sumptuous new offices receiving
best wishes of leading motion picture
producers, reading sheafs of con-
gratulatCry kilograms, and admiring
bouquets sent in by friends.
Mr.. Hays denied he had been en-
ployed to bolster the industry against
attacks on it's morality, asserting
the following two clauses from his
contract told the whole story of his
duties:
ITO obtain and then to maintain
the highest possible standards of
moving picture production.
ITO develop to the highest possible
degree the moral and educational
character of the industry"

COTTON

NEW YORK, March S.-The cotton mar
ket showed q renewed stead1ness at the
opening today owing to continued reports of
improved British trade conditions and re"
iterated complaints of delayed farm work
in the south. There scattered local
selling and some selling of October be-
lieved to be for japanese accounts, but
the offerings were quite readily taken at
the opening advance of to Is points and
active months sold about II to Is points
net higher shortly after the call, with May
selling at 1S.0S and July at 1877. The
weather map was better AID there was prob
ably some selling easier exchange rates,
but Liverpool made a firm showing and
private cables reported a better tone in
Manchester and improving trade demand
in the Liverpool market.
The market became quiet later and prices
sagged a few points under realizing or liqui-
dation by early buyers. Otherwise there
was no pressure. While southern spot adj
vices were bullish, the eastern belt fore
cast pointed to renewed rains tomorrow
and the weekly report of the weather bu-,
reau mentioned damage to cotton by the
cold snap in south Texas. These features
gave the market firmer tone with May
contracts selling up to 1913 and July to
17.45 on covering, or about 20 to "A points
net higher.
