blood would quickly have absorbed
Intense congestion found in the
lungs, he said, points to either
strangulation or suffocation.

more moderate proportions, but ac
tivity still was maintained at the
rate of 2,000,000 shares a day, to
tal sales In the two-hour period

Vigorous bullish demonstrations
which turned the course of the mar
ket upward In the last hour again

not recorded until 12 minutes after
the usual closing time.
Reactionary tendencies which
had dominated the market at th*
outset of trading today were
abruptly checked when buying or
ders for the Rock Island shares be
gan pouring Into the market In

borne the brunt of heavy selling In
the first hour, were J)U°y e, J U P by
the raly In rails, and net gains of
1 to 4 points- replaced losses of 1
to 6 points which had been general
throughout the list In the early
trading.

Rock Island common and two pre
ferred Issues, St. Louis-South
western, Colorado & Eouthern sec

bushels brought a rally of 2 1-2 to
4 cents a bushel In wheat prices,
while corn advanced 1 1-2 to 1 7-8

Hugh H. Saxon to Head
Board of Commerce’s
Membership Drive Here
Prominent Young Augustan
to be “Colonel” of Army
of Workers President
Sylvester is Optimistic
Great Impetus was given to the
Augusta Board of Commerce mem
bership expansion campaign Satur
day when it was announced from
headquarters that Hugh H. Saxon
had consented to act as ‘‘colonel"
of the army of workers which will
begin work the week of December
Bth.
For some time past, it has been
the desire of tho Board of Commis
sioners to undertake a movement
that would place the local Board
of Commerce on a more effective
plane. After a careful investigation
it was decided to secure the serv
ices of the American City Bureau
of Chicago to supervise and direct
a campaign to increase the Income
of the organization and make sug
gestions as to how the Board of
Commerce could render a broader
and bettor civic service.
The American City Bureau is the
foremost organization of its kind
in the country nnd has a record
of successful undertakings in Sa
vannah, Valdosta, Marietta, and
many other cities in the state as
well as over five hundred cities and
communities of various sizes across
the continent, both in this country
and in Canada.
A recent campaign conducted by
the bureau was the Chamber of
Commerce expansion movement
run in Columbia last month. There,
in a city with less population than
Augusta, a membership of 1,400
was secured, giving the organiza
tion an income of over $35,000 per
year.
PRESIDENT SYLVEBTER
IS OPTIMISTIC.
After a commute meeting with
the staff men of the American City
Bureau, who have been on the
ground for a week and have made
a preliminary survey of the local'
situation, John Sylvester, president
of the Board of Commerce, express
ed himself as being very optimistic
as to the final outcomo of the cam
paign for more members.
"With a very limited Income,”
said Mr. Sylvester, “and with a very
inadequate membership, the Board
of Commerce has done some really
valuable things for Augusta. Work
ing under a great handicap we have
accomplished many projects. If the
business men and people of Augus
ta generally can only be told of the
activities In our program, If they
could only learn of the host of
things that have been undertaken
without fuss and furore, I am sure
we would be swamped with appli
cations for memberships by the
public-spirited citizens who would
Insist on having a part In the up
building and development of our
community."
Mr. Sylvester made It plain that
the forthcoming appeal would be
based entirely on the straight-for
ward plea for community co-opera
tion from a more representative
group of citizens.
“We do not plan any drastic re
organization,” he said. "We are en
tirely satlfled with the quality of
our members, hut to assure ex
pansion of our facilities to meet
changing and more Insistent de
mands on our resources, we must
greatly Increase our man-power."
CHAIRMAN ACCEPTS

Impressed with the Importance of
the undertaking and feel that If I
can be of any assistance, I should
not hestltate to do what I can.”
NEEDS WELL
EQUIPPED BOARD.
“All citizens will agree with me
that Augusta ought to have a well
equipped, efficient working Board
of Commerce, a civic-commercial
organization that can attack prob
lems with hope of success because
of the confidence of the community
In It and because It will have so
large and so representative a mem-.

population.”
"The setting-up of the sale H-force
will be undertaken at once and
should he well in hand before the
end of the week. I am counting on
the active co-operation of my fel
low citizens in this worthy move
ment."
Mr. Saxon stated that he will
organize a teams organization of
approximately 200 representative
cltzens to help him put the cam
paign over. He Is giving attention
now to the selection of the six
majors who will act as assistants
to him. each major to bo In com

Against Case Is Continued

itentiary, contained in a federal
warrant sworn out by Consul W.

to show cause why Case should be
extradited to England or present
legal grqunris for the continuance

spoke of the "tardiness" of the
British government In handling the
case.
"I feel that the British govern
ment has acted negligently in this
matter," he said. "They have had
sufficient time to get witness hero
and I feel that unless something
tangible Is done by Monday that
the man should he released and
that Is the action I will take."

“His majesty’s government con

“Your excellency was warned hv
