famous Elgure in Georgia

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. Ex-senator
Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, who
died suddenly at his residence in
Washington early today, was one OF
the most famous figures in the his
tory of Georgia politics and during
the past four years was considered
bv observers as welding the strong
est political influence in the state.
During the recent state democratic
primary, his support was used In the
interest of Clifford W. Walker, sue
cessful candidate for the gubernato-
rial nomination. His position IN TINS
race followed differences with Govern
or Thomas w. Hardwick whom ne
supported two years ago when the
"two Toms" both were elected.
His career was one Of stormy poIlt-
icaI battles, dating back to- 1871,
when he was elected to the Sind con-
press. He ran for reelection on the
populist ticket but was defeated. In
1896. he was nominated for the vice
presidency of the United States by
the St. Louis populist convention ana
in 1904 was nominated for the presl-
deney by the peoples party.
1t was during this period that he
started his publications, which devei-
oped until they received national rec
opnition. His first paper was devoted
to the promulgation of the populist' S
nartv's views and in 1905 he estab-
iisbed the famous Tom Watson mag
azine in which he attacked the go
man Catholic Church for a number
of years. This publication first was
issued in New York.
The Jefersonian Magazine and the
weakly Jeffersonian followed as his
navt publications. During the war
4base two papers were ordered sus-
nended by the United States govern
ment owing to Watson's opposition to
The draft law and vigorous attacks
on other war policies of the govern
ment.
Senator Watson Was born in Co
h,nbia county, Georgia, September D.
1856. the son of John S. and Ann
Eliza Watson. He studied two years
at Mercer University and later taught
school. In 1875, he was admitted 70

PUTNAM COIJNTY'S MASS MEETING IS
FAIR SCHEDULED TO BE HELD NEXT
DECEMBER 4,TO g WEEK FOR SCHOOL
T Financial Situation Is to
Be Discussed and Plans
Perfected

Meeting to discuss the inadequacy
Of funds to operate Palatka's school
for an eight months period, a COM
mittee from local civil organizations
met at the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon. Recognition Of
the generous commentator given
Palatka's school system throughout
Florida was an outstanding feature
Of the meeting. H. 0. Hamm was
elected chairman of the committee,
and ]. W. Hart secretary of the com
mittee.
It was the sense Of the meeting, it
is said, that there was not COM
prehensive understanding of the con-
di5ions and causes that contribute to
the statewide school predicameAt,
ard with the object of explaining
the situation to the patrons of the
school, the committee accepted a
plan that was proposed which calls
for a meeting next week in the High
School auditorium to which all pa
irons Of the school and progressive
citizens will be invited. According to
the committee, the object Of the
meeting is not to solicit funds, but
rather to provide means of explain
ing the school situation, and to deter
.n,iue whether the patrons desire to
have the school kept in the front
ranks Of Florida's progressive school
system.
For the scheduled meeting at the
school auditorium, an interesting pro
gram is being arranged. A musical
program will be supplemented by
able speakers. Chairman Hamm
states that definite announcement Of
the meeting will be made during this
weel:. The committee is confident
according to the chairman, that Pa
latka's greatest asset is the public
school system.

COUNCIL BEGINS
STRENUOUS TASK
TAX EQUAL|IlNG
Books Show Valuation
Has Been Practically
Doubled
PLAN LOWER MILLAGE
Improved Business Prop
erty Shows Greatest
increases

Council began last night the task
Of equalizing the tax rolls submitted
by Assessor Walton, beginning the
most revolutionary revision of taxes
ever attempted here. In accordance
with his expressed intention to follow
out the law, Mr.. Walton made his asz
sessments as nearly on an actual val
uation basis as possible, and when
some Of the members of council saw
them last night they took deep
breaths.
The discussion early in the year as
to the advisability of making the as
sessmcnts on q full 100 per cent, ba-
sis and reduce the millage,seemed to
meet with general approval, the only
argument against it being that it
would be impossible to base such an
assessment. This was answered with
the statement that it could be done
as easily as finding a basis for 80
per cent assessment,
Council last Right went over to
fourteen pages of the new books
making seven changes, netting to-
tai reduction of $500, but it was
stated that these pages will be- gone
over again.
An indication of the relative ratio
of increases in the assessments is af-
forded in the items which council re-
duced, and applies to those which
were passed over without change.
The St. Johns lodge Knights of Pyth-
las lodge property, assessed in 1921
for $4,000, was assessed by Mr. Wal
ton a t$4,500. Council cut this to
$4,000. Others were:
Water lot of Mrs. A. Merryday, as
sessed in 1922 at $4,000, reduced to
i $4,000; assessed $1,000 in 1921. Stan
ton Foundry and Machine works as
sessed $4,000, reduced to $500; as
sessed $1,000 in 1921. R. L. Gibson's
boathouse property assessed $4,000
reduced to $4,000; was assessed $5,,
| 600 in 1921. H. A. Ford building
Lemon and Second streets, $4,000
reduced to $4,000; assessed $4,000
in 1921. Miss Margaret Anderson's
home, $4,000, reduced to $4,000; as
sessed $4,000 in 1921.
Property of some of the smaller
property owners in the colored sec.

lduced.

POUL|N N-TIERNAN
SCANDAL IS NOW
IN COURTS HAND
Judge Called on to De
eide Paternity of a
Child
(nv Assncinted pressl

South Bend, Ird., Sept. 26-The
Poulin--Tiernan case is expected to
come to an end today AMI it will be
left to Judge c. L. Ducomb 10 decide
whether the charges of Mrs. August.
Tiernan that Harry Poulin is the
father of lie" tel moutns old child
are to be upheld.
Following the examination of Pou-
lin yesterday the defense closed it's
case. The defendants testimony,
which was intended as a reinforce
ment Of that of other defense wit
nesses, was in eect n general denial
of previous testimony by the plaintiff.
The witness said he met Mrs. Tiernan
in the summer Of 1921 &c a dance to
which he was accompanied by his
wife, at no time had any improper
relations been carried on between
himself and his accuser, lie said, and
denial that he had ever accompanied
Mrs. Tiernan alone to places where
the latter had testified he had taken
her.
AS a forerunner of Poulin's testi-
mony, relatives and business associ-
ates of the defendant were placed on
the stand and told of seeing Poulin
at church and other places on occaa-
ions that the plaintiff alleges he was
in her company.
Equally staunch in her allegations
was Mrs. Tiernan and her testimony
was contributed by that of her hus-
band, Prof. John Tiernan, of Notre
Dame University. Mrs. Tiernan tes-
titled. that she met the defendant at
a dance here in the summer of 1921,
that later she and her husband became
acquainted with the Poulin family
and strong friendship grew up be-
| tween them. AS their meetings be-
came more frequent she testified she
| became infatuated with Poulin and
| her relations with her husband be-
came strained and were finally brok-
en- off. After this, at the suggestion
of Poulin, she said, meetings were ar
ranged between the two and the af-
fair was carried on for the better part
of year. Finally, she testified, she
told Poulin she was about to become
a mother and that he acknowledged
the paternity of the unborn child.
Following this, however, she asserted,
Poulin broke off relations with her
! and refused to speak to her when the
two met on the street. She decided
then, she said, to confess to her nus
band, and told him of her relations
with Poulin.
The hearing of the case was re-
plete with sensational incidents. Dur
ing the first part of the trial, the
| spectators were constantly in an up
rear and it fnally-became necessary
for the hearings to be held behind
closed doors.
There is possibility that Judge Du.
comb may reserve decision in the case
for several days and council fer botl
sides have indicated that an appea
will be taken to a higher court il
event the decision is against them.
