Sparta, Ga., Sept. 11.—Governor Smith and his trousers cams to the parting of the ways at Sparta. In a less resourceful man It might have been a rather serious disaster, but to the man schooled to meet every emergency serenely, and. with the abil ity to overcome apparently Insur mountable difficulties, a little trouble like fractured trousers did not cause Georgia's governor a moment's worry. It all came of a misunderstanding. Under tho Idea that the governor would not leave for Sparta until Monday evening at 8 o'clock, all of his clothing was sent away to the pressing club. When It was learned that he would leave at 3:30 o'clock In the afternoon It was too late to get the clothes from the pressing club man. So the governor dug down In a closet and got out a pair of trousers that, on a hasty examina tion, appeared to be all right. So they were donned, and not until his arrival at Sparta was the discovery made that the trousers were sadly frac tured to the rearward. There was a hurried distress warning sent forth at Sparta and a scurrying here and there to find new ones. A new difficulty arose. The governor Is not built along sylph-ltke line*. In fact, his girth is something to make a tailor gape when he Is measuring for nether garments. At that late hour of the night It eeemed that no trousers of sufficient dimensions could be found to accommodate the portly frame of the chief executive. Another counsel of tho rear guard was called and an ambassador was sent forth in the suave personality of Con gressman Tom Hardwick. PEACE COURT PLAN Choate Believes That the KaiserV Agents Are Responsible. The Hague, Sept. 11.—There Is grow ing belief among the delegates to ,the International Peace Conference that there Is no hope of a permanent arbi tration court. The difficulty le attributed to Ger man opposition. Joseph H. Choate, the United States representative, Is said to be one of the firmest believers In Ger many's enmity to the plan. He held heart-to-heart talk with the landlady of the Drummers' Hotel, and she agreed to remedy with needle the gubernato rial distress. Long after midnight a musical voice floated out on the still night air, seek ing the whereabouts of the colored fac- t0 ''lBoi: oh, Sol! Go upstairs and bring mo Governor Smith's britehes.

"All hands on deck," and I at first thought that some one hod fallen overboard. “Women were screaming and men were running around over the deck and the greatest excitement prevailed. A* soon a* It wa* discovered that a man had entered Miss Naah's room the ■earch for the would-be thief began. ''Suspicion was directed at one of the negro cooks and an Italian who w-as found hiding behind some barrels. They were searched, but nothing was found on them, end after some talk of throw ing them overboard on general princi ple! they were allowed to go free. "Miss Naeh suspected the negro be- cause he had asked her a short tints before If she occupied the room alone, but aq there was no proof against him, nothing could be done. ■■After the excitement subsided the scene presented by the passengers wa« ludicrous In the extreme.

Judge Montgomery said this proced ure would not restrict the legal limits to which the Inspection could be car ried. He, however, affirmed hi* dealre to give both sides equal advantage and help In the Inquiry by ordering that: “The complainant have and produce before me at the office of A. H. Plant, comptroller of the complainant, all hooka and appurtenance bearing upon the laeue* raised In this proceeding, the said books, papers and document*, »o far a* they contain entries, or ref erence? to any and all matter* perti nent to tho Issues Involved in tho pro ceeding to be open to tho Inspection and examination of tho defendant* and their counsel, they, if they so desire, to have with them an accountant during the Inspection and examination, tho said Inspection and examination of such books, etc., to be made and had In the presence and under tho supervision of the Standing'matter, tho books, papers and document! to be In the care and the custody of tho said comptroller or other officer, whoso business It Is to keep these books of the company." Counsel Doesn't Comment. Judge Montgomery read bis order at the opening of tbe morning s'esslon and Immediately counsel for tho state with drew from the room to dismiss It. They remained away a short time, but upon their return made no comment on .tho order. The time for the Inspection of tho company's books wa* not set In Judge Montgomery's ruling and It Is not un likely that the state's attorneys may make some protest against the method adopted by the presiding master, al though no evidence of thoir attitude was given this morning. Tho original day set by Judge Pritchard for tho sub. mission of Judge Montgomery's report was September 26, but an appeal Is now pending before Judge Pritchard for appointment of that date. It is believed that tho hearing In Washington will be concluded today, an the last witness to be called, D. W. Lum, engineer of maintenance of way and construction, was called this morn, lng.

At a conservative estimate not lees than 3,600 people were fed with the bountiful feast of finely barbecued meats and the well-fllled ba*kets of the good wlvee of Hancock county. Governor Smith began hln apeech shortly after 11 o’clock. On the stand from which he .poke 'were John D. Walker. Rev. W. R. England, Repre sentative W. H. Burnell. Professor M. L. Duggan, Mayor R. W.

"My fellow citizens, you have highly honored me In permitting me to preside over thl* great gathering. "It give* me unfeigned pleasure to present to you a self-made man. a man who In hi* own life has exemplified and Illustrated all that Is best In American character, a man who accepted the people's banner and who has stood un flinchingly In the face of every foe. their champion for the right, a man who has climbed high and- who will climb higher, a man of the people and for the people, a brilliant lawyer, a successful man. the distinguished ex- secretary of the Interior and the future president of the United State*, the Hon. Hoke Bmlth. governor of Georgia.” Smith's speech covered a review of the new reforms passed, the establishment of the agricultural achools and their fu ture prospects. He stated that he had authority from the commlaaloner of agriculture to atate that the achools would receive, under present condi tions, within a few dollars of 86,000 each. Enforce Prohibition Law. Governor 8mlth gave telling empha sis to the statement that he expected to do everything In his power to see that the now prohibition law wa* en forced to the tetter. He was cheered most heartily In this sentiment. He said that the fact that he did not give the bill his support—frankly stating his adherence to local option as the so lution of the liquor problem—did not mean that he would not do everything to see that the law wa* properly en forced. In discussing the Candler bill and the work of that organization to regu late railroads In Georgia, he aald: "It's a new thing for anybody to be In the governor's office or around the capital lobbying for the people. And I hope to see a men put In my place when I retire who will continue to lob by for the people Instead of for the In terest*." Governor Smith again asserted hi* Intention of going Into counties to op pose men who were or should be against reforms advocated by the Ma con platform. He stated that he ex pected to go to the people of these counties and tell them the record* of the men who represented them at the state capital. He urged upon tbe peo ple great care In electing the next gen. ernl assembly, qnd particularly the sen. ate. Throughout hi* apeech of an hour and a half Governor Smith received the closest and most respectful atten tion. Once during hie speech he men tioned Tom Watson, and the applause was long and loud. Congressman Hardwick followed Governor Smith In a speech of little over an hour. It was devoted almost wholly to discussion of the disfran chisement law, and explaining to the people why they should ratify It at the next election. A Splendid Barbeeue, Dinner was served on long table* at 2 o'clock. The crowd seemed so great that the managers feared there would not be enough to feed every one. But the fear proved groundless, as there waa several carcasses of rout meat left after every man. woman and child had had all they desired. Credit le due for the perfection of the barbecue and of all the arrange ments to 8. D. Rogers, one of Han cock's best known and moat public- spirited citizens. Colonel Walker, May or Moore and Representative Burwell vied with each other In showering at tentions on the visitor*, as did every one, In fact. It waa a great day for Hancock county. The people at* united on tho agricultural school and will give it their hearty support. When It opens in January It la confidently expected that students will be In attendance from every county In the district. Governor Smith and ; Congressman Hardwick left at 6:20 o’clock for Thomson, where they took supper with Hon. Thonia* E. Wat Am. Governor THREATEN TO BURN CITY OF VANCOUVER Continued from Pag* On*.
