The Atlanta Constitution and
Journal will not publish nay letters
, correcting their statements in re-
gard to House Bill No. IA, and i
take this method to correct the same.
House Bill "a provides for publ
cation Of school books by COMPETE
tive bids and to be sold to school
children at actual cost Of production
after our State Board Of Education
procures the text on a royalty basis,
or by purchase. All texts are sold
ON q royalty basis Of 5 per cent ana
the author is paid when the book is
sold. Should an author go to the
American Book Company to sell the
text, the Company would not have
single book engaged for sale and
the overhead cost of putting the
text on the market would be at least
% per cent to be added to cost of
publication, Should the author go
to our State Board of Education to
sell to the Board, representing our
one million school children, there
would be no overhead cost what
ever; thus saving 25 per cent Of
the cost alone.
State publication of law books for
lawyers has obtained in Georgia
since 1880. When the Supreme
Court was organized, the Reporter
was given the copyright to the
volume upon the agreement that the
Reporter furnish to each County in
the State two volumes. This law
was in effect until 1880, when the
Legislature passed q law creating q
Printing Commission. What was the
effect of this law? Every lawyer
in Georgia paid $500 per volume
up to the 65th Ga Report. The
Goth Ga. was sold to every lawyer
in Georgia at $1.00 per volume, and
last year the Supreme Court Re
ports and the Court of Appeals Re
ports were published in Missouri,
because the lowest bid for printing
them came from Missouri. The
Code of 1878 cost $1,000, and the
Code Of 1882, containing 400 more
pages and published by competitive
bids, sold to every lawyer at $500

MT. M'kINLEY HAS BEEN
 IN ERUPTION BEFORE

Councilman John Helm, talking of the reported eruption of Mt Mckinley said this morning that in 1906 the mountain belched forth smoke on the north side for considerable period. He was in the vicinity at the time and believes the report of the present eruption to be true.
 A dispatch from Nenana reports ashes falling in the streets of the town.
 Trainmen arriving in Seward last evening from the Interior are author ity for the statement that the reputed eruption of Mt Mckinley was but a publicity stunt and that he alleged smoke pouring from he side of the mountain is nothing but a heavy fog. Euch is the power of the press that today throughout the entire United States editors are eagerly awaiting news from the reported eruption.

 CRUSHED BY ICE

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Dec. 31 (PD- Following the breaking of two ice floes in the upper Ohio river yester- day, fishermen are preparing to pro- tect their craft when the ice goes out.
 At Utica, Indiana, the ice demol- ished a towboat and carried away a river packet. At Madison, Indiana, numerous small craft were crushed by the ice. The gorge broke with deaf ening roar and filled the river from bank to bank.
 A report was received last night from Utica that a floe had jammed above Louisville, which is expected to hold until the Madison flue adds to the pressure.
 Inhabitants on the low grounds are preparing to flee to the hills in case the jam backs the water up.

 IN EVIDENCE
ALLEGED DISTURBANCE iNVESTI- GATED AND FOUND UNTRUE
 SAYS RESIDENT

ANCHORAGE, Dec. 31 (P)-Henry Karstens, superintendent of Mt. Me- Kinley National Park said today. 'I have made an investigation and find no evidence of disturbance of any description. There is no smoke or steam arising from the mountain that we have been able to find. There is no possibility of an eruption for the mountain is of solid rock and ice. Black clouds are common occurrence in the vicinity of the mountain and are of no special significance. The weather is calm and cold with no in- dication of impending storms locally"
 Others familiar with the mountain said the phenomena was probably due to vapor caused by the suns rays on the snow.

Burial of German
President Today
In Heidelberg Lot

Berlin, Mar. (By A. P.)-Sorrow-
ing Germany turned it's eyes toward
Heidelberg when the funeral train
bearing the body of the late Presi-
dent, Friedrich Ebert. left Berlin at
GAO o'clock this evening. On the
train also were members Of the fam
lily. the German cabinet and repre-
sentatives of all the various states
making up the new republic.
The train should reach Heidelberg
at o'clock tomorrow morning and
the burial will be in Berg cemetery
two hours later. The funeral here
was largely national affair, but at
Heidelberg the interment will be in
charge of the officials of the city
where Ebert was born.
Because of the French occupation,
the escort must be civil rather than
military, in the Badenese city. Thee
late presidents gray will be on a
hillside of the cemetery which COM
mands a view of the Rhine.
1t is estimated that a million per-
sons in the Berlin streets today
watched the funeral procession, but
the crowds Were orderly. At places
the crush became so great that the
cordons of police wer brokn through
temporarily, but the police never
lost permanent control and aside
from few minor accidents there
were no unpleasant incidents.

SIMPLE CEREMONY

Washington, March 4.-(By A. P.)
President Coolidge was inaugurated
today with one of the simplest cere-
monies of hundred years. Almost
at the same time Vice-President
Dawes took the oath of office.
For the first time not only the
thousands who gathered in Washing
ton heard president deliver his
inaugural address, but millions
throughout the United States and
probably many elsewhere, heard the
address by radio. President Coolidge
spoke to probably the greatest audi
once, seen and unseen, that ever has
been addressed by any man in the
history Of the world.
With all it's studied simplicity and
lack of display, which was at the ex-
press direction of the President, the
ceremony was in marked contrast
with the event Of 10 months ago,
when reused from sleep by news of
the sudden death of President Hard
ing, Mr.. Coolidge took the oath OF
office administered by his father in
the glow Of an oil lamp in a YER
mont farm house.
The only vice president since
Roosevelt to succeed to the Office by
popular election, President Coolidge
renewed his oath before Chief Justice
Taft, the only president to take it
before former president. The
ceremony was the traditional one, and
was carried out on a platform built
at the East front of the Capitol. be-
fore the great steps leading tho the
entrance at the middle Of the build
