member of the Athens European
tourist contingent returned home
Sunday-robbed by clever warfside
crooks in New York City. The vic
tim, r.. Scott Holland, professor in
the school Of Romance languages at
the University of Georgia, had his
pocket "picked" of some $500 in
cash and his ticket to Europe.
Mr.. Holland was en- route to
France, where he was planning to
spend the summer in studying the
French language and customs. He
was in New York ready to sail when
he became acquainted with a party
of men, one OF whom represented
himself as "Mr. Davis" from Savan
nah. He turned out to be pick

ship ticket was refunded Prof. Iol-

s CLAIM
Of LEAGUE DEATH
SCORED BY CLUB

NEW YORK, June 25.-The
League Of Nations Non-P Partisan as
ISOLATION last night addressed a tele-
gram to President Harding chaIleng-
ing the presidents statement in his
st. Louis speech that the League
or Nations is as dead as slavery"
i he message was signed by George
w. W1ckersham, president of the
organizations council, Everett Col
by, chairman of the executive com
mittee and William H. Short, eXecu-
tive director.
There are millions of people in
the United States who differ from
you" the message read. Some of
these are now members Of the
League of Nations Non-Partisan as
sociation and more are joining every
day.
In the few weeks that have
passed since our president, former
Justice John H. Clarke, made his
notable New York speech in favor
of joining the League of Nations,
those who believe the matter of
American membership to be still an
issIe have created organizations in
SO states and a large number of ad-
ditional branches in cities, counties
and towns"
The support given to American
membership in the league, the mes
sage states, makes the issue very
much alive.
you declared on October 2, 1920"
the telegram continues, that the
League of Nations was already
scrapped' and not worth paying any
attention to, and your administra-
ton began by trying to ignore its
existence. But the logic of events
has led our government, step by
step, to take part in the great
humanitarian work that the League
of Nations is doing and we are now
proposing to go into the permanent
court of international justice which
| the league alone was able to bring
| into existence after successive adj
ministrations had vainly tried ever
! since 1897 to do so.
eve applaud you for your en-
| lightened attitude on these questions
| and feel certain that the manifest
| impossibility of the United States
standing aloof from the rest of the
world, to which you have lately SO
| feelingly referred, will finally lead
our country into full association with
! the league.
I'VE are certain that you will not
allow YOUR concern for harmony
within your party to lead you in
the unfortunate position of forget
ting your party and personal
pledge"
The message includes also a quo
ltation from an address by Herbert
Hoover in Indianapolis, October 9,
1920. to the effect that the Republic
an party had pledged itself by lts
platform and the repeated state
ments of Senator Harding that they
| undertake the fundamental mission
to put into living being the prln'
ciple of an organized association OF
nations for the preservation OF
| peace.
nroper organized action of nations
| to prevent war will not down" Inc
telegram further quotes Mr.. Hoover,
ut belongs to no party and no
creed
believing that Mr.: HooVer's sentl-
nAnts express the opinion of a great
majority Of the people of this coun-
try.', the telegram conclues' we
can not allow your statements re-
earding the league to go unchal-
| lenged."

Whereas, wet politicians through
out the country have renewed their
attacks on the 18th amendment and
OliIcL laws, anu
Whereas, it has been publicly an
nounced that member of the house
would offer a bill TO repeal all state
prohibition laws; and
whereas, such attacks on our
constitutional and statutory laws in
evitably tend to encourage violations
of law and to bring federal and state
governments into contempt, thus in
ducing anarchy;
Therefore, we, the Baptist preach
ers of Atlanta, do most solemnly pro
test to the legislature of Georgia
against any modification of our state
prohibition laws, unless it be to
strengthen them;
''And we earnestly request the
committee on temperance to kill in
committee any wet bill that may be
directed against the fundamental
law, and by their action do their
part to encourage our Iaw-enforcing
officers and prevent the efforts to
bring back this greatest enemy of

liam Zinsmeister, egarded as a des-
perate character, created havoc

daughter, a girl companion, 16-years-
old and wounding another girl and

point of being captured, he turned

Georgia Law Calls for Rigid
Investigation Making More.
Officials Necessary Conn
miSSioner~ASSertS

William A. McRae, commissioner
of agriculture of Florida, was not
familiar with the Georgia oil inspec-
ton laws when he wrote Governor
Hardwick on June - that six in
spectors could inspect all the oil and
gasoline in Georgia, according to a
statement made Tuesday by j. J.
Brown, Georgia commissioner of ag-
riculture.
AS evidence of this fact. Commits
sioner Brown gave out for publica-
ton a letter written to him on June
Is, three days after the communiCa-
ton to. Governor HardWick, in which
Mr.. McRae declared that only very
small percentage of the oil shipped
to Florida is inspected at all. The
Georgia law requires that every car
sent to this state must be inspected.
But Few Inspections Made
The letter of Commissioner Nc
Rae to Commissioner Brown was as
follows:
answering your inquiry, this is
to advise that L estimate that we
inspect one-tenth of the oil tank
cars shipped into Florida.
There is no move being made in
this state to have local oil in
spectors. If, however, each and ev-
cry car of oil shipped in was in
spected the number of inspectors
would be greatly increased"
This department has favored q
distillation test for gasoline for four
years, and has recommended to the
agricultural committees of the gen
eral assembly that the distillation
test be added to the present tests, in
order to better protect the people OF
Georgia against low grade or dan
gerous oil and gas" Commissioner
Brown declared.

FLORIDA INSPECTS BUT SMALL
PORTION OF GAS, BROWN SAYS

ton test of gasoline is nothing new
in Georgia. This department. will
support any measure with that OBJ
ject in view that is introduced in
the coming legislature.
with the distillation test added
to our present inspection system, we
would have the very best oil inspec-
ton in the United States. But it
would defeat the very object of the
inspection laws if local inspectors
were done away with and the peo-
pie of Georgia exposed to the danger
of trying to burn gasoline or some
other explosive fluid in their lamps,
lanterns and stoves"
Local Inspection Endorsed
Commissioner Brown made public
letter from B. Harris, commits
sion of agriculture of South Caro-
lima, admitting that the system Of
local inspectors, as followed in Geor-
gia. is preferable to the state in
spector system, followed in South
Carolina.
Commissioner Harris letter was
as follows:
Replying to your question will
say that L know that a system of To-
cal oil inspectors, one in each town
where an oil tank is located, would
Unquestionably give the people great
err protection and render the oil in
spection service more efficient than
a system which provides only a few
travelling oil inspectors covering
the state. OF course, it is under
stood that all of the local inspectors
would be under the supervision
of a state inspector, who would
frequently visit all towns where
tanks were located and keep a
close check on all work done by
the inspector. In addition to the test
made by the local inspector, it, is
believed that if a sample were drawn
and forwarded to your laboratory to
be analyzed according to a standard,
it would be much greater protec-
ton tc the people. And, too, it
would enable the laboratory and
chief inspector to maintain a closer
check upon the work done by the
local inspector; that is, in checking
the specific gravity test"
