BO|FE|ULLET NAMED
COAL COMMISSIONER

The state railroad commission,
through its chairman. C. Murphey
Gambler, announced late Wednesday
afternoon that Commissioner John
T. Boifeuillet had been appointed by
the commission as coal commissioner
for the state, to have charge Of the
distribution Of all coal coming into
Georgia.
Mr.. Boifeuillet will start his work
Of supervision as soon as communi-
cation can be established with Her
bert Hoover and his organization in
Washington, working to the same
ends nationally.
The senate on Wednesday morning
passed the house resolution placing
the railroad commission in charge
of the distribution of coal in Geor-
gia during the coal strike.
Governor Hardwick at once sent
telegram to Secretary Hoover in
Washington, notifying him Of the
appointment of the commission sc
that the federal authorities operat.
ing under Mr.. Hoover's direction
may begin shipment of coal into
Georgia.
Governor Hardwick indicated that
he would not, as he first intended,
appoint an advisory committee OF
five, representing the coal dealers,
the public utilities. the manufacto-
ries, the railroads and the public, to
function with the railroad commits
sion, on account of the danger of
having the body too unweildy for
prompt transaction of business.

After Doing Time
For y Years Sumter
Convict Asks Freedom

AMERICUS, Ca, Aug. 10.-Twen-
ty-tWo years after he began serving
a life sentence on the. Georgia chain
gang, John T. Patrick Wednesday
began an effort to secure freedom
for himself. Never mefore during
the long term he has already served
has Patrick evidenced the slightest
desire to secure his release. During
the years he has worn cOnvtct's
stripes, it is said, Patrick has served
conscientiously and in useful ca
pacity in an effort to expiate his
crime.
He was convicted in Muscogee SUI
perior court in 1900 of murder, with
recommendation for mercy, and i'm
mediately began serving his SEN
tence. Since then all of the jurors
who convicted Patrick have gone to
their last reward, as has also the
judge who presided in the case.
Price Gilbert, at that time solicitor
general Of Muscogee circuit, who
conducted the prosecution against
Patrick, is now an associate JUS
tice of the Georgia supreme court.
The killing, Patrick asserts, was
done in self-defense, though he was
unable to convince the jury of this
fact. 1t is said by his friends here
that Patrick's term of service al
ready exceeds b. many years the
average served by life prisoners in
the Georgia gang, and that this,
coupled with his exemplary record
as prisoner, should move the Geor-
gia prison commission to grant the
old man either a pardon or parole.
When convicted and sentenced Pat,
rick was foreman Of large cotton
mill at Columbus, and an Atlanta
manufacturing concern has offered
him position should he again gain
his freedom. He has served on the
Sumter county gang several years,
being a truSty.

OUTLOOK IS DARK
FOR ALLIED FARLEY
BY HIRAM X. MODERWELL

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1929
LONDON, Aug. 10.-The confer
ence outlook is dark. The British
and French both appear to be un-
yielding concerning Premier Poin-
CARES Preparations program and de-
termined to make no essential COM
promise. What is really at stake is
the existence Of the entente. 1t is
probable that sham compromise
can be arranged, delaying the crisis
a few weeks, but it seems inevitable
that then France will attempt to ap-
ply her program alone.
If this course does not yield money,
as experts are convinced 1t will not,
the French objective Is liable to
change from the collection of repara-
tons to Gripping the German reich
politically. Sentiment in this direc-
ton is reported to be increasingly
strong in France.

Watermelon Season
To End This Week

MACON, Ga, Aug. 10.-The water
melon news bureau, which has been
in operation here since the melon
shipping season began, has been
closed, as the melon season will
come to an end the latter part of
the week. The bureau was oper-
ated in connection with the United
States department of agriculture.
Daily bulletins were furnished
growers and shippers of melons as
well as others, showing the melon
movement throughout the United
States and daily market quotations.
Farmers benefited greatly by the
service. Figures on the melon ship
ments this year are not yet avail
able, but it is known that the total
number of cars shipped did not equal
the movement Of last season.

DEBT NEGOTIATIONS
ARE RESUMED AGAIN
BY CONDO

WASHINGTON Aug. 10.-Nego-
tiations for the funding Of the
French war debt to this country
were resumed today at a meeting Of
the American debt commission with
Jean v. Parmentier, director Of H.
nance Of the French treasury.
Data presented by the French rep
resentatives covering the financial
conditions Of France, 1t was said
at the treasury, has been digested
and studied by the commission and
it was expected that the general
discussions so far carried on would
progress to point where definite
proposals Of methods Of payment of
the $500 900, 900 obligation would be
taken up.
To date, according to treasury Of
ficials, neither the Trench repre-
sentatives nor the American COM
mission have made any definite sug-
gcstions as to the time when liqui-
dation Of the Indebtedness might
begin.
Sufficient time has elapsed since
the last meeting of the. commission
with the French representatives to
allow M. Parmentier to hear from
his government.
Negotiations with the French rep
resentatives it was said at the treas
ury, would progress rapidly to a
point where a definite report could
be made to the French government.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK IN
LUMBER INDUSTRY

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 10.-Grade
marking Of lumber to protect the
public against deception and fraud,
Standardization and naming of sizes
and grades of lumber as recommend
ed by Secretary Hoover, cooperation
with federal agencies in experiment
tai work, forestry and transportation
are among the subjects scheduled for
discussion at a special meeting Of
the Southern Pine association, which
opened here today.
More than 200 southern pine manu-
facturers from ten states were pre-.
scented at the opening session, over
which John H. Kirby. Houston, Tex,
presided. Methods of grade mark
ing lumber were discussed at the ses-
sions today and plans for immediate
ly putting such marking into oper-
alton at the mills were considered.
In opening the convention, John
H. Kirby, the president declared the
outlook in the lumber industry was
most favorable.
j. E. Rhodes. secretary, in pre-
senting the statistical situation Of
the industry, said that after review
ing all factors, we cannot but come
to the conclusion that the southern
pine industry is in a strong posi-
tion." Continuing his report, Mr..
Rhodes declared that stocks on hand
at the mills and in the retail yards
are considerably below normal,
despite the fact that we are now
faced with a great demand from the
building boom, from the prosperity
of the farmers who will be able
to proceed with improvements long
delayed and from the railroad and
industrial trade which only awaits
the word Of labor peace to go ahead
in full blast"
The probable lumber demand DUR
ing the fall months was discussed by
B. F. Bonner, Houston, Tex. and
E. A. Frost. Shreveport. La, outlined
various transportation questions now
confronting the lumber manufactur-
ers.

FREE TEXT BOOKS
LAW |SEFFECT|VE

City Attorney James L. Mayson
ruled Thursday that the charter
amendments passed by the legisla-
ture recently became effective last
Monday when Governor Hardwick
signed the bill, He declared that he
saw no reason why the provision
calling upon the city to furnish free
text books in the public schools
should not become effective immedi-
ately.
The amendment referring to the
text books provides for their being
furnished Atlanta school children on
a graduated basis; the pupils in the
first two grammar grades to be
given the books the first year, the
following two grades the next, and
so on until the high schools have
been supplied.
The board Of education at its meet
ing last Monday voted to ask City
Attorney Mayson whether the char
ter amendments affecting school
books becomes effective with the
opening of school in September or
at the first Of January. President
w. w. Gaines. of the board Of edu.
cation, was expected to call spe-
cial meeting this week to consider
the school book proposition.
School Commissioner w. L. Nc
Galley, Jr., chairman Of the finance
and building committee Of the school
board, stated at the meeting Monday
afternoon that it probably would re-
quire $4,000 at the maximum to in
stall free school books in the first
two grammar grades and that the in
itial outlay for the whole system
would probably be around 100000.
The initial outlay he said would
be heavy because the school board
would lave to provide separate ma
chinery for distributing the books to
the white and colored pupils. He
pointed out that it will be neces-
sary to maintain separate sets of
books for both the white and colored
pupils. ~,
He also stated that average life
of school book was around three
years and that before the upper
grades had been provided with
books, it would be necessary to pur-
chase additional books for the lower
grades.

Federal Dry Agent
Warns Of Dangers
In Synthetic LIQUORS

Declaring that persons who drink
bootleg whisky are taking long
chances on their health, if not their
lives, Fred D. Dismuke, federal
prohibition enforcement officer for
Georgia, has issued warning to
patrons of synthetic liquor manu-
facturers.
Mr.. Dismuke's warning follows
receipt Of a report from r. A.
Haynes, commissioner Of prohibi-
ton enforcement of Washington,
containing the results of analyses
Of various Intoxicating" mixtures.
Mr.. Dismuke's warning follows:
commissioner Haynes advises
that analyses made of 'moonshine'
revealed that liquor penetrating
under the porcelain caps of Mason
jars, corrodes the zinc lining, with
the result that the liquor contains
poisonous zinc, which, though in
quantities, can not be detected by
taste alone.
"In relation to home BREW a
fast-dying fad, experiments reveal
that poor materials, unclean uten.
sils, unsanitary, damp, dark sur.
roundings, mostly cellars, base
ments, sheds and stables, result in
a Notwithstanding connection, the
kick in most instances being due
to the off-products Of fermentation
or ptomaines.
Analyses Of synthetic whisky
the present source of bootleggers
supply, show the favorite mixture
to contain acetone and isopropyI
alcohol, added to pure ethyl al
cohol, the first of which lacerates
the stomach and the other paralyzes
the Nerve centers. Various methods
of coloring are employed, iodine in
some instances being used, and
while the resultant fake whisky
does not necessarily kill, blind OF
paralyze, the tissues of the stom
ach are destroyed and organs gen

certain to ensue. In view of the
fact that the process Of denatur
ing alcohol requires either bichlo
ride Of mercury, lysol, formalde
hyde, carbolic acid or similar disin
fectant, and that the process OF
compromising bootleg whisky con
templates the use of lead, copper
and zinc poisons, to say nothing OF
fusel oil, it naturally follows that
drinkers of it are taking lone
chances on their health, if not their
lives -
