TAX
BILL RECEIVES
FATAL WALL0P
House Refuses to Replace Meas
ure On Calendar; Highway
Probe Report Submitted

ATLANTA, Aug. 20.-After re-
fusing the calendar fixed by the
rules committee SO as to place the
income tax bill and the search and
seizure bill at the head Of the calen-
dar, the House proceeded to the
consideration of Senate bills. The
failure of the income tax bill sup
porters to get it on the calendar, is
considered as a final defeat of the
measure this session.
The senate committee which in
vestigated the Highway Department
will make its report to the Senate
this afternoon. Report says that
the committee finds no illegal or
wrongful use of the states money
by anyone, except in the case of
the minor employed who was con
victed of padding payrolls.
In an effort to curb the number
of indiscriminate arrests of motor
lists in Georgia, joint resolution
was introduced in the Senate this
morning, calling on the mayor and
chief of police of every town in the
state to Immediately communicate
to the Governor the names and the
addresses of any person arrested
and convicted on the charges of vio-
lating any anti-speed laws of the
state county or municipality.

Many Candidates Eyes
Turned Toward Office
Of President OF Senate

Hendrix has already said he will be
a candidate to succeed himself in
the senate and, elected, will be a
candidate for president of that
body. Senator PEBBLES isn't quite
decided whether he'll run for the
senate again. If he does and is
elected, it's probable, he said, he
will fight it out on the floor with
Senator Hendrix.
Then from across the way comes
the war-cry, shrill and clear, from
Representative Ed Dykes, of Dooly
county, who says he is going to sue
coed DIR. w. C. Williams, Jr., as SEN
ator from the 14th district. Then
he is going to try to make himself
get elected president of the senate.
There are several more represen-
tatives who are outspoken in their
candidacy for togas which, perforcei
must be laid aside by those who
now have them,

TARBUTTON Was
TO DEATH
Is Claim of State in Trial of C..
&. Rawlings, Dead Mans
Business Partner

WRlGHTSVILLE, Aug. 20-The
state attempted to show in the trial
of c. G. Rawlings, Wednesday, for
the murder of C. A. Tarbutton, that
samples of bauxite purported to
come from Ringjaw Bluff, where
Tarbutton was killed, actually came
from mines at Riley, Ga.
This was the strongest evidence
produced by the state during the
trial.
Experts at Riley, Ga, had pro-
nounced the ore from Ringjaw Bluff
worthless. according to A. d. Viii
son, mining engineer there. Rawl-
ings, the state charges, got samples
at Riley, Ga, and it is alleged BY
the state also that these samples
were sent to the state geologist for
examination and found to contain
from so to so per scent bauXite de-
post.
These alleged false reports. the
state alleges were used to lure Tar
button to his death,

FROM JOURNEY TO EAST

Declaring that southern Kansas and
Missouri and Northern Oklahoma are
practically unorganized as far as the
Teamsters' union is concerned, o. E.
Williams, secretary Of the Teamsters'
union here, has returned to Aberdeen
after a three weeks visit in the states
mentioned.
Mrs. Williams left for Salina, Kas.,
last May, and Mr.. Williams Joined her
there three weeks ago. Before leav-
ing for Grays Harbor, he visited sew
eral towns and cities in southern Kan
sas and Missouri, paying particular
attention to labor conditions.
II would have gladly given advice
as to organization of teamsters' un-
ions," Mr.. Williams said, "but l could
not find anyone to advise. In Kan
sas City, Mo-, one of the largest cities
in that section, ! found less than 70
union teamsters, whereas in a city Of
that size there should be 10000 union
teamsters."
Mr. Williams said that the heat in
those states was almost unbearable,
and the more the sun beamed down
upon him the more he longed for the
cooling breezes of Grays Harbor.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS TO
STUDY CHILD WELFARE
SAYS BUREAU CHIEF
By international Labor New. Service

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 49,
A worldwide study of child welfare
conditions, including the regulation
and restriction of child labor, is
planned under the direction Of the
League Of Nations.
A report on the child welfare study
has just been made by Grace Abbott,
chief Of the United States Children's
Bureau, who represented the United
States in consultative capacity at
the recent meeting in Geneva Of the
League Of Nations advisory commit
tee on traffic in women and children.
At this messing the commfttee vot4
ed to recommend that its title be
chaned to Advisory Commission for
the Protection and Welfare of Chill
dren and Young People, and that the
commission be divided into two COM
mittees, one called the Traffic in
Women and Children Committee" the
other the "Child Welfare Committee"
In telling Of the work of the COM
mission, Miss Abbot said:
1T was generally agreed by the
committee that the most useful func-
tion which the league can perform in
this is to assemble and make available
to experts in child welfare the facts
about present child welfare conditions
and about methods that have been
found possible mad practical in diff
ferent countries.
"The method of work, it was de-
cided, should be ~ the assembling
and analyzing Of laws and reports, ~
field studies by experts of new pieces
of work being done in the various
countries, and (3) discussion and con-
sultation by the members of the COM
mittee or by groups of experts as
sembled for that purpose.
"For the first year the committee
on child welfare will undertake the
following program: ~ A study Of the
laws relating to the protection of life
