St. Petersburg, Aug. 11.—The announcement irf made that an at' 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 inff. 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. COUNT HEYDEN GIVES LIE TO EMPEROR OF RU8SIA Special Cable—Copyright. 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.

STEMD TOOK SUM OF $100,00 WHEN JjEJSCAPED Warrants Are Out For the Arrest of His Son and Others. d a A By Private Leased Wire. Chicago, Aug. 11.—Mafrank Kowal ski, paying teller of the wrecked Mil waukee avenue elate bank, committed suicide last night by shooting himself In the head. The young man hail been subjected to criticism by depositors In the bank who had charged bint with 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. Bench warrants for the arrest Theodore Stensland, Paul O. Stensland, Cashier Hertng and divers others were 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 w 1th nltn when he died. Bank Exam iner Jones and Assistant State's Attor ney Olsen believe that the big forger Is Cashier Herlng. 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 20 per cent 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. rest on so many separate warrants that he will be unable to furnish the bonds required.

GENERAL IN HOME STRETCH Crowded Cars .Tump Track While Near the Windy City. Kr Private Leased Wire. Chicago, 111. Aug. 11.—Twelve per sons were Injured, some of them se- Hously, and many persons were shaken up and bruised early today In the "reck of a Monon train from Cincin nati hearing crowds returning from >he Hermann-Ysnger fight In Indian apolis.

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.

HOWELL GIVES BITTER REPLY TO HOKE SMITH Contlned from Bags One. ~—;—77 —•— 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. , Respectfully, ALBERT HOWELL, Jr. 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. . - , _. „ 24, Thin ri*it following the letter from Mr. Smith, which stated that he. Smith, would take the matter up again IS N0W_ Railroad Values Increase Over Six Million For 1906. Leaving out the returns of the Sea board Air Line, which will probably require an arbitration to finally aettle, the’.total return of fajlrood property In Georgia ehows an Increase of 86,748,892 over 1906. The touts tor 1906 were 313,017,994 and for 1906 388,768,886. If the in creaso of 3477,000 on the Seaboard's returns levied by the comptroller gen eral, is allowed, It will make the In crease for 1906 36,16,392. As yet no agreement has been reach od with the Seaboard regarding 1U re turns. Local. officials held a confer ence with Comptroller Wright Satur day morning, but no definite under standing was reached. General Wright notified the parties that further con ferences were unnecessary, and that It hod simply resolved Itself Into a ques tion as to whether the Seaboard would or would not accept hla assessment. One hundred and ten counties have reported to date a net Increase of 326,- 600,000. The others will probably add ten mflljon more to this, making total property valuations of all kinds In Georgia ihow an Increase of something over 340,000,000 for 1906. 0000000490O0000O00OO0000O00 O GRIGGS A8KS 30,000 O TO GIVE *1 EACH. 0 0 .

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.
