tempt was made to assassinate
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaie
vitch, at a blank cartridge firing
drill at the summer camp at Krae
noye-Solo, which he was conduct
ing in person. Details are lack

It seems to be a well established (act
that the attempt to murder the Orand
Puke Nicholas was made while troops
were drilling in extended order and
engaged In volley Are. The grand
duke, surrounded by hla officers and
aides, was stationed well to one side
and out of the direct line of fire, so
thnt the attempt must have been de
liberate. The open order of the troops
makes It quite Impossible to tell from
what regiment the bullet was shot.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 11.—A report
comos from Moscow that the Wllmans-
tram! and Morahank Infantry regl
ments recently sent Into the province of
Vologda to put down agrarian disturb
antes are In a state of mutiny.
The soldiers .summoned their of
ficers and a spokesman read to them
the following resolution:
"We are resolved not to shed the
blood of our brothers. We, ourselves
ore peasants, and we will not prevent
them from trying to obtain their
rights. We warn you not to tiro on
defenseless meii and women for not
only will we refuse to obey, but we
will make you suffer for any attempt
ed brutality." \ t
When the mfitlny became known
General Gfassofif, assistant commander
at .Moscow .was sent to subdue the mu
tineers. He did not succeed In his
mission.
The Novoe V^emya published a let
ter from Count Heyden which gives
the lie,, to, the czar. He charges the
war with attempting to make a
bureaucrat of him, and says he and
hla associates refused to enter the
Stolypin cabinet because their plana of
reform were rejected.
The appointment of M. Izvolsky,
brother of the minister of foreign af
fairs to the cabinet office of procura
tor of the holy, snyod has become a
matter of great rejoicing among the
lower classes of St. Petersburg. In
this appointment they see the downfall
Of Peter Pobledonostaeff. the present
Incumbent and the most hated Indi
vidual la all the czar’s domains.

suicide last night by shooting himself
In the head. The young man hail been

complicity in the frauds.
Kowalski's tragic death Is the third
following the closing of the doors of
the looted institution. Henry Keopke,
a depositor, shot himself, and John G.
Vlsslr, also a depositor, dropped dead
at heart failure after hearing of the
crash.

Issued today by Judge Smith, a'ape.
rial grand Jury Is to be summoned next
week to thrash out the condition of
the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State
Bank.
Several employees of the bank are to
be placed in custody. It Is Intimated
thnt outsiders other than the bank of
ficials themselves may become Involved
In the Indictments that necessarily will
follow. Traces of a conspiracy In which
an adviser of Stensland had a part
have been found.
Revelations from the report of the
state bank examiner convince the au
thorities that Stensland took 3100,000

iner Jones and Assistant State's Attor
ney Olsen believe that the big forger

Directors Get Loans.
Aside from the suicide of Kowalski,
the principal developments were:
Night meeting of the bank discloses
the fact that directors received loans
with little or no security and that
Stensland sent checks through signed
only "409," Detectives were unable to
find M. A. Labuy, whose testimony was
desired. Other directors were grilled.
Figures, which are official, place the
actual available assets at 11,342,000,
with questionable assets of 31,202,000;
the totnl of both classes showing a
prlma facie value of 12,064,000.
May Gst Dividends,
Receiver Fot, of the bank, announced
the dividend to depoeltors would be
declared within 80 days. It will not
exceed 25 per cent and may not roach

A large percentage of $1,118,000 of
deede of trust, hitherto regarded as of
unquestioned value. Is expectsd to
prove worthless as assets of the bank,
because of President Stensland'* ma.
nlpulatlons.
Cashier Henry TV. Herlng la virtually
Implicated In the bank forgertea, but
holds himself stolidly against a con.
fesston.
*800,000 Notts Forged,
The amount of money represented In
forged notes, now runs up to 3800,000.
The bank was yesterday designated by
Assistant State's Attorney Harry Olson
as "a forgers' nest." A mysterious ape.
cial account was found In the bank's
ledgers, containing names and cash
entries, and one theory Is that Stens.
land ordered it kept to offset forged
note withdrawals from the bank, cash
being entered fictitiously as well as
withdrawn.
Depositors, Incensed at the attitude
of Theodore Steneland, the eon of Pres.
Ident Stensland, plan to procure hie ar.

he will be unable to furnish the bonds

TRY A WANT AD
IN THE GEORGIAN
With only three more working days
ahead of It the general assembly will
do some tall hustling Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday to clsar the hoards
of all pending and Important matters.
Already It looks like some rather Im
portant measures are doomed to death.
The Hall antl-paes bill Is evidently In
cold storage, and from present pros
pects even the Carswell anti-pose
measure, which afreets only members
of the general assembly. Is to meet a
similar fate.
Senator .Wheatley Is making heroic
efforts to get his lieutenant governor
bill through the house, but so far has
met with fierce opposition. It may be
brought forward within the final wind
up and paas, as It Is understood that
there has been some change of front
among certain hitherto hot opponents.
The senate has yet to act on the
state auditor measure, and the Hall tax
assessor bill Is on the table ready to
be taken up at any time. In light of
the fact that the house haa held back
on senate matters and the senate haa
reciprocated In part by passing little
recently but local house messures. a
mass of semi-local and general mens
ures are pending In both branches.
Probably a ton of local matters of
last session and this are doomed to
slumber tranquilly until '.he end. The
rest of the way It Is going to be work
from the word go. The house may
have night sessions the final two days,
while the senate will probably back
Into the usual all-night seance Wed
nesday.

related to-, one' of. his opponents ' In a
political campaign., (
Patience has ceased to be a virtue
and my self-reepect makes further for
bearance Impossible. I feel sure that
In the course of his’cowardly crusade
I have had the good will of every good
citizen of this state who Is personally
well acquainted with either Mr. Smith
or myself.
Those who do not know either of us
should be Informed as to tho real
character of the blatant bully who has,
through no fault of my own, made me
the constant target, of hie malicious In
nuendoes.
The first time I. ever heard of him,
his name was reeking with the slime of
so foul a scandal that fond mothers
Stopped their daughters' ears when his
name was uttered and Idia schoolboys,
vying with one another In vulgarity
wrote that name on back fences and
outbuildings.
From that day to this his name has
been the synonym of selfishness, du
plicity, hypocrisy and cowardice. ,
He has not hesitated to slander his
superiors whenever that course could
be made to serve his purposes, and in
every case has evaded responsibility by
recourse to shameless subterfuges.
Today he stande branded In the col
umns of the public press and In private
letters, by eminent cltfsens of Geor-
a who have exhausted the range of
_ngt!sh adjectives from rasor-back to
hypocrite, and from character assassin
to common liar, In their efforts to cor
rectly characterize this swaggsring
swashbuckler with whom no man's
reputation Is considered sacred.
There la not a member of his own
profession, who Is familiar with his
methods, who does not. In hts heart,
hold him responsible for unfortunate
conditions that have followed hie per
nicious example, and few men' In hla
own community would trust his loyalty
or fidelity with his own selfish Interest
at stake.
I am Indeed sorry to tire the patience
of the public In presenting this picture
of the miserable mountebank who has
sought to Impose upon their credulity
by sowing secret poison and broadcast
ing whispered threats against me,
among the people with whom I have
sought to lead a peaceful life for forty
years. No pen can paint the pitiful
picture of this captious charlatan who
has never In his life been consistent
save In the dlecord he has sown and
the- ruin he has wrought. 1 will not
further pursue the effort of portrayal.
Those of the public who continue to
hold Interest In the Dempsey case can
read the sworn allegations of Mr.
Dempsey which are on file In the office
of the clerk of the city court of At
lanta.
If these .sworn statements are true,
as the affidavit of Mr. Dempsey seems
to assure, then the apparition of shack
les and stripes 'conjured up by the
seared conscience of Mr. Smith Is easi
ly to be accounted for, and there la
substance In the phantom formed from
his frantic fancy. ,

DEMPSEY FILES SUIT
AGAINST HONE SMITH
Suit was filed In the office of the
clerk of the superior court Friday af
ternoon by Sam D. Dempsey against
Hon. Hoke Smith. In this suit Mr.
Dempsey seeks to recover the sum of
8800, with Interest from June 4, 1908,
alleged to be due from a settlement Mr.
Smith elfectefl for him with the West
ern and Atlantic railway as the reeult
of a damage suit.
October, 1902, he employed Hoke Smith
ns attorney to collect a claim for dam-
ages'againnt the W. A A. railroad, the
agreement being that he was to give
up 20 per cent of the eettlement as at-
torney’a
About June 1, 1902, he sets forth, he
was summoned by Mr. Smith and told
that he could get a settlement of 32,600,
but no more, and Mr. Smith advised
him to accept It. Thereupon he agreed.
Later, he eays, Mr. Smith had him
execute a voucher of the W. A A. rail
road for 32,600 In consummation of the
settlement.
Theq, he aets forth, Mr. Smith took
possession of the vouoher and endeav
ored to settle with Dempeey by paying
him two-thirds of the amount, retain,
lng one-third as tee.
But after a lengthy argument, ho
says, agreed that be was entitled to
only one-fifth and gave Dempeey a
check for 31,419.16.
Then, he says, he afterwards learned
that his attorney had proposed to set
tle for 66,600 and not for any sum less
until after he had come to terms of
agreement with Dempsey as to fee,
* Then the petition sets forth:
16. Your petitioner shows that his at
torney, In offering to the representa
tive* of said railroad company to set
tle his claim for tho sum of 31,600 at
tached the condition that two other
claims against said company In favor
of parties represented by the said Hoke
Smith should also be settled at the
same time, so that ths aggregate sum
to be paid by the railroad company In
eettlement of the three claims would
amount to approximately 66,000.
17. Your petitioner says that his at
torney did not at any time communicate
or Intimate to him that this proposition
had been made to the railroad company
nr accepted by Its representatives or
that the rights of your petitioner were,
In any way, connected with, or. depend
ent upon, the righte nr Interests of any
other client represented by said attor
ney.
18. Your petitioner alleges that said
railroad company, through Its repre
sentatives, finally agreed to eald propo
sition of settlement, whereupon your
petitioner's attorney endeavored to In
duce said railroad company to issue one
voucher for the approximate sum of
86,000, the proceeds to be distributed
by said attorney, but that said compa
ny 'refused to consolidate said settle
ments In the manner proposed and re
quired eald attorney to obtain the ex
ecution of reparate vouchers In favor
of each of said clients.
12. Your petitioner says that his at
torney, thereupon, directed the repre
sentatives of said railroad company to
prepare a voucher for 32,500 In favor of
your petitioner and separate vouchers
for his other two clients for the re
maining sum Involved In the settle
ment. Your petitioner says that this
afforded to the representatives of said
railroad company their flrat Intimation
that It was the purpose and Intention
of said attorney to apportion to your
petitioner the sum of only 62,500 In set
tlement of his claim for damages.
The petitioner then sets forth that
"when he discovered the true condi
tion" ho' wrote a letter to Hoke Smith
asking about It, but that Mr. Smith,
instead of replying, caused an attache
of the office to seek a personal Inter
view. . ..
Another letter, he sets forth, drew
the response that on January 21, 1906,
Mr. Smith would leave the city to be
gone a week and would, upon bis re
turn, take up the matter again,
2*. Since lhat time, the petition
goes on, your petitioner haa received no
further direct communication from Mr.
Smith as promised In his letter, hut
shortly afterwards one Frank M.
Hughes, an attorney at law. called upon
your petitioner at his brother’s resi
dence, stating that he was a warm per-
sonel friend of petitioner's attorney,
Hoke Smith, and lhat he to get
all of the facts with reference to your
B - • rner's claim against the said Hoke
, stating that he could get your
petitioner'* money from the said Hoke
Smith. . - , _. „

Railroad Values Increase

Leaving out the returns of the Sea

the’.total return of fajlrood property In

Abdul Hamid Said to
Have Gone Un

By Private Leased Wire.
Constantinople, August 11.—*
Tho cancellation of the Sclnnilik
yesterday haa led to rumors thnt
Sultan Abdul Hamid has under
gone a surgical operation and is
dying.
Abdul Hamid II Is a frail lUtle man
or 64 years, possesses more power than
any of the monarchs, and has lived for
years guarded by 10,000 soldiers In
momentary fear of violent death.
Abdul Hamid II was fated to die be
fore he was born, tor, by law. It was
decreed that only one heir to the throne
wus to be iiermltted to live. This we.
tho most effective way of avoiding anv
questions as to the succession. The
sultan became ruler when his brother.
Murad V was deposed after having
been declared Insane. It Is populnriv
supposed that the ruling characteristic
of Abdul llamld Is cowardice. As a
youth he was courageous, even to
recklessness, but constant fear of as
sassination has chunged him.
The sultaln maintains ths most ax-
pensive personal establishment in the
world 330,000,000 being expended upon
It annually. The harem expenses
amount to about 38,000,000 encli year.
This Includes the money spent by the
women themselves. About t7,0ti0,u0o
are expended In gifts and nearly ns
much Is bestowed upon favorites ..r
paid to private spies. The sultan's per
sonal expenses amount to about a mil
lion and a half.
