zenS Back Action.

Motivated by civic pride the City of
Atlanta, Ga, today asked the District
Supreme Court to compel Census Di-
rector W. NJ Steuart to publish Allan
ta's population this year as 360,692 in
stead of 270,367.
The suit was filed by the city, three
of its newspapers, several business con-
Germs and prominent citizens through
Louis Titus of the Southern Building,
Washington.
Justice Frederick L. Siddons ordered
Mr.. Steuart to show cause on or before
September 10 why the writ should not
be issued.
The dispute between the municipality
and Mr.. Steuart arose over the ques-
ton of including the populations of six
suburban areas in the official census
figures for Atlanta. In official bulletins
published to date the census director
has credited Atlanta only with the
population of the city proper, whereas
the civic leaders of the town have de-
manded that the 90,325 residents of the
six adjacent boroughs be included.

railways BRAND yielded to German re-
quests.

lean countries are profoundly and IA
vorably interested in the success of a
scheme for economic cooperation
among European countries"
Pointing out that American states,
particularly those which provide raw
materials for commerce, depend upon
the prosperity of Europe for their own
economic betterment, the diplimat said.
America, therefore. welcomes q move
for European collaboration"
Such a union would not be regarded
by Americans as reaction against pan
Americanism, the Cuban asserted.

Americanism as the 'Synthesis of Amer
lean international political sentiment
and an absolute negation Of continental
egoism."

The District Commissioners today

year. The awards, which were given
for acts of great personal bravery done
at great personal risk, we're as follows

Rescued Boys From Sewer.
Davis and Walker won their medals
in the same instance. On April 10,
1890, their engine company responded
to a local alarm to the front of 1881
Warren street. When it reached the
spot it was found that four boys were
lying unconscious at the bottom of a
gas-filled sewer about Is feet below the
level of the street. without awaiting
orders and not even stopping to get a
gas mask, Davis hastily descended and
rescued one of the boys. He then
rescued a second by the use of rope
tossed down by the fellow members
of his company and made an effort to
rescue the third boy. BY this time the
gas had affected the fireman to such an
extent that his superior officer ordered
him out of the sewer. Walkre promptly
took Davis place and he also, without
losing the time for adjusting gas
mask, descended and rescued the third
boy.
Policemen Won HOn0rs Together.
The gold and silver medal policemen
also won their award in a joint Incl
dent. It occurred on the night of Janu-
airy while Bryant and Hughes were
patrolling their beat near First and L

WHEELER SEES WET
GRANDDAUGHTER
Senator Makes Prediction in
Commenting on Stand
of Roosevelt.

The next presidential nominee Of the
Democratic party will favor repeal Of
the eighteenth amendment or modifica-
ton Of the national prohibition laws,
Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Democrat,
Of Montana predicted today.
Senator Wheeler made this state
ment in connection with comments on
the stand just taken by Gov. Franklin
d. Roosevelt of New York in support
Of the repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment.
II have no doubt" said Senator
Wheeler. that when the next Demo-
cratic National Convention meets it
will nominate for President q man ia
vorable to repeal of Nationwide pro-
hibition. National prohibition has not
been a success"
Senator Wheeler said further:
Wheeler's Statement.
IT voted for prohibition in Montana
because felt that the old saloon was
a curse to the American people and /
wanted to do away with it. In the old
days the breweries, in many instances,
owned the fixtures, the buildings and
the license and in many instances con-
trolled local politics.
Il am no more in favor of the saloon,
no more in favor of the sale of liquor
today than was before, but under pro-
hibition you have in many cities more
dives and speakeasies where they are
openly selling rotten whisky than you
had in the old days.
To-day in many communities the
bootlegger Is becoming a greater politi-
cal power and has more influence than
the old-time saloonkeeper, as evidenced
by that fact that he is able to reach
many of our higher officials. He is gen.
orally much lower type of citizen.
He has had frightfully corrupting in
fluence upon our social, moral and
political life.
I'm view of the fact that this ad-
ministration and the previous admins
trations have apparently been helpless
in stamping out the evil, am reluc-
family forced to the opinion that ma
tional prohibition is a failure and that
each State should be left to regulate
the liquor traffic as majority OF its
citizens deem advisable"
