TEDDY IS BOOSTED
It Bryan Banquet by Editor
John Temple Graves.
STARTLING DENOUMENT
Asks Nebraskan to Nominate
fe£velt for Third Term at
fit Democratic National
Convention.
^features were developed at
Bryan Utah la Gta*
Tenn., Wednesday night in
! William Jennings Bryan,
John Temple Graves, of Atlanta,
a speech, in which he declared
that Mr. Bryan should nominate Theo¬
dore Roosevelt for the presidency.
It looked for a time as if Graves
would not be permitted to burn Ills
theatrical Roosevelt red Are, as those
in charge of the banquet thought
it out of place, but Mr. Bryan him¬
self settled the matter by saying:
“Oh, let Graves speak.’’
John Tomlinson, of Birmingham, one
of the speakers, and toastmaster, met
Graves on his arrival from Atlanti
at noon, - hnd requested omission of
the reference, arguing its impropriety
in view of Mr. Bryan’s presence at
the banquet. Graves declined to alter
his views or subject his speech to cen
sofstiip. He attended the banquet as
an invited guest, remaining but a
short while, when he left the banquet
hall for an Atlanta train.
At 11 o’clock, however, Graves was
induced to return to the hall, aud
delivered his address, in which ne
urged Mr. Bryan at the next Demo¬
cratic national convention to nonu
nate Theodore Roosevelt for the pres¬
idency.
Mn Graves declared that he yielded
to no one in his profound and affee
tionate regard for Mr. Bryan amT ferr
the Democratic party, but that he was
profoundly convinced that in this pe¬
riod of tremendous economic crisis
the only man who can carry to sue
cessful conclusion the reforms insti¬
tuted in behalf of the people was the
man who is already entrenched in
the power and prestige of dauntless
courage, and is a conspicuous success
in the executive office.
Senator J. B. Frazier of Tennes¬
see responded to this address, de¬
claring that the Democrats could not
afford to take such action.
Mr. Bryan spoke at considerable ex¬
tent, arraigning the Republican par¬
ty, though he declared that Roose¬
velt had adopted many Democratic
principles.
In beginning his address, the Ne¬
braskan paid his respects to Mr.
Graves, aud what he had said. Ho
said that when he had heard that
Mr. Graves had retired from the hail,
because there might be doubts about
the wisdom of what he hik’d to say,
ho had sent for the Georgian to re
turn, and insisted that the speech
should be delivered. Turning directiy
to the subject of Mr. Graves’ recom¬
mendation, Mr. Bryan said:
"As at present advised, I shall not
present the name of Theodore Roose¬
velt to the national Democratic con¬
vention. Bear in mind, I say ‘sis. at
present adv'sed.’”
Mr. Bryan continued that if after
mature consideration and reflection
and the presentation of the argu¬
ments iu the case he should be con¬
vinced that his duty lay in that dircc
he would present Mr. Roosevelt’s
e if it should prove the last act.

STEVENS TALKS CANAL
Former Chief Engineer Arrives Home
and Says Sea Level Waterway
Will Come in Time.
John F. Stevens, who recently re¬
signed as chief engineer of the Pana¬
ma canal, arrived at New York Sat¬
urday on the steamer Panama from
Colon. Mr. Stevens declined to talk
about the work on the isthmus. It
is lihr- present plan to take a long
rest, including a trip to Europe be
t®-? JigAin .engaging in active busi¬
ness. Mr. Stevens said he was great¬
ly flattered by the send-off given him
by 3,-tUltcaiial employes when he left
.^•lo^ ' i 'W «tired oh the ‘best ol
terms with my fellow employes,” he
said.
When Mr. Stevens was informed
that a story had Knu published to
the effect that his resignation was due
imn
would bo completed, 'nil i he replied:
"That’s nonsense. The canal will
.
be completed just as sure as you are
alive.”
Asked as to whether he thought
the canal eventually would be of the
sea level type, he replied:
‘’Undoubtedly, in time ”
Mr. Stevens said he resigned for
purely personal reasons. The report
that the cana’ will never be built
because there was no rock foundation
for it, Mr. Stevens said:
“It is all rot,” adding: “The founda¬
tions on the isthmus are as good as
iu New York city.”
“Will you see the president in
Washington?” he was asked.
"If he wants to see me, he will
know where to find me,” said the
chief engineer. "I have done my
share ot the work cn the canal and
1 am willing that some one else should
take a hand.
“The people of the United States
should get the idea out of their heads
that the canal work is not progress¬
ing. It is going on splendidly.”
COMBINE FACES HEAVY FINE.
Standard Oii Company Found Guilty
on 1,#3 Counts for Rebating.
The Standard Oil Company of In¬
diana, which has been on trial for
the past six weeks before Judge Lan¬
^court, dis, in the United States district
at Chicago, on a charge of hae-.
ing received rebates from the Chi¬
cago and Alton railroad on shipments
of oil from Whiting, Ind., to East St.
Louis, 111., was found guilty Saturday
night on^,463 counts out of the orig¬
inal 1,903 in the indictments. The re¬
maining 440 counts were dropped from
the indictment on account of errors.
The oil enmpany is liable to a fine of
$29,260,000, as the Elkins law, which
the indictment charges the company
with having violated, provides a fine
of $1,000 to $20,000 for each offense.
Pending the decision on a motion
for a new trial the court will not pass
sentence on the company.
ONLY SIXTEEN PASSED

Pure Food Inspector.
The civil service commission at

ination of applicants: for the office of
inspector under the pure food law.

ed. There were 1.3S9 applicants for
the position of food and drug inspec¬
tor, but the examination proved to
be so rigid that only sixteen were
found to have met the requirements.

It is probable the man to whom
G. W. Bundrick, the Crisp county,
Ga.; murderer, surrendered in Califor¬

Georgia Cullings
Curtailed Items of Interest
Gathered at Random.
Quartermaster General West' Retired.
At his own request, Gen. Andrew J.
West of Atlanta has been placed on
the retired list as quartermaster gen¬
eral of Georgia. This retirement
gives him the right to participate on
all public occasions in full uniform
if he should desire. The record of
this officer has been brilliant, faith¬
ful and of long duration. He has
been in the service of lue state thir¬
ty-six years, .alid has held the posi¬
tion of quartermaster general under
six different governors, and has never
received a**doUar for his services.

Sumter County Convicts.
The prison commission will await
the action of the county commission¬
ers of Sumter county in the matter
of the local convict camp before giv¬
ing the situation any official consid¬
eration. The questions which the
Sumter county authorities are said
'to be investigating are alleged cruel
treatment of misdemeanor convicts,
and the frequent escapes which have
been reported. The state prison com¬
mission has authority to summon the
entire board of county commissioners
-to answer to the charges, but will
not do so, it is stated, if the investiga¬
tion aud action taken by that board
proves satisfactory.
Roster Commission Puzzled.
The Georgia roster commission is
up against rather a difficult proposi¬
tion iu the matter of the muster rolls
of some fifty or sixty Georgia com¬
mands which took part in the civil
war. The war department, or the
records bureau of that department,
having defeated Georgia's efforts to
get congressional consent for the
making of copies of these rolls, now
wants the state to deposit with it
$11,000 to pay for the work which is
then to be done by its employes. It
is unnecessary to say that such a de¬
mand is preposterous and out of the
question.
Many Were Disappointed.
Forty-nine applicants for- license to
practice pharmacy in this state failed
to pass the state pharmacy board in
session at Atlanta the past week.
Eight;! men and two/ women - faci
the board, and of this number on]
thirty-three passed, the remaining for¬
ty-nine ‘tasting the bitterness of dis¬
appointment.
There were nineteen given apothe¬
caries’ and fourteen druggists’ : . li¬
censes.
The two lady applicants passed
with flying colors. Miss Nellie Dill
as an apothecariim. and Miss Mary
Burton as a druggist.
Bundrick Anxious to Hang.
George W. Bundrick. the escaped,
murderer sentenced to hang for the
killing of John Schroeder, in Dooly
county, in 1902, and who gave himself
up to the authorities in California a
few days ago, will be returned to the
scene of his crime. According to ad¬
vices from Los Angeles, where Bund¬
rick is in jail, he broods constantly
over his crime. “1 am guilty; aild*
want to pay the penalty; I hope they
will come soon. I want to die. They
can’t hang me too quick.”
Sheriff Sheppard will not go fertile
prisoner, but has wired the Califor¬
nia officers to bring Bundrick to Cor
dele and get the reward of $^f>0.
Roswell Remains in Cobb County.
Under a state supreme court de¬
cision rendered a few days ago, the
town of Roswell will remain in Cobb
county, although the citizens of that
town, under the act of August 7,
1906, voted to go into Milton county.
The supreme court, in sustaining an
Injunction; which was granted by
Judge -Goher. bases its action princi¬
pally upon the act of 1854 creating
Milton county, in which act it is
clearly set forth that Roswell is in
Cobb county and a part of the
boundary line between the two coun¬
ties. It is held, in effect, that no
part of the town is in Milton county,
and that therefore the election held
under the act of 1906 is null aud
,
void..

Negro Must Pay Penalty.
Will Johnson, colored, must hang
for his assault on Mrs. Richard Hem¬
bree at Battle Hill, near Atlanta, on
August 15, 1906.
The supreme court lias affirmed
Judge Roan in denying Johnson a
new trial. The higher court held that
"the alleged newly discovered !eii
dence was not of such a character
as required the grant of a new Jxial ”
After Johnsons trial, conviction
and passing of the death sentence,
an attempt was made to prove* "ah
alibi. However, conflicting evidence
developed in this respect—in facj,^
much that the alibi theory was large¬
ly discredited.
. Evidently the supreme court did
not find the new evidence of suffi¬
cient merit to warrant a new trial.
Inspector’s Report Adopted.
In so far as the railroad commis¬
sion is concerned, the Georgia rail¬
road ease is closed on the Bowdre
Phinizy petition. The commission un
animoasly adopted the
elector Jackson.
“I can add nothing to my report,'”
said Mr. Jackson. “The inspection
was made carefully and conscientious¬
ly, and is absolutely my opinion. Th»
road is in as good condition as I indi¬
cate, and the management is appar¬
ently doing all it can to improve the
defects.’*'
Commissioner O. B. Stevens, whi
accompanied Mr. Jackson on the in¬
spection trip, holds practically the
same views as contained in the ex¬
pert’s report. Colonel Stevens thinks
the Georgia road is the third best in
the state in its general condition. He
places the Western and Atlantic first,
the West Point second and the Geor¬
gia third.

Bartow Not “Dry” County.
Indictments and convictions in Bar¬
tow county againo^F Randolph Rose,
W. F. ’’Baker and R. M. Rose Com¬
pany, of Atlanta, for sellin'g whiskey
in Cartefsville, were knocked out a
few days ago by a decision of the
appellate court at Atlanta.
The whiskey men were indicted by
the Bartow grand jury for violations
of the prohibition laws in shipping
and selling whiskey into that county
They were tried bet-ure Judge Fite
and convicted.
When the cases reached the appel¬
late court the reversal came on the
ground that Bartow county has no
“prohibition” law, but simply a law
that permits the sale under a license
granted by the proper authorities. In
other words the ouly law operative in
Bartow is high license, which is a
form of regulation and not a com¬
plete prohibition. •
The appellate court holds that the
indictments were invalid and the con¬
victions contrary to law.
Growing Crops Hard Hit.
Growing crops iu middle and south
Georgia, market gardens all over the
state and the fruit (Hilly eAp in some sec¬
tions, have been injured by
the cold and frost of the past few
days, according to Agricultural Com¬
missioner Hudson.
Colonel Hudson estimates the dam¬
age to cotton in south Georgia at
nearly 50 per cent. Of the cotton
that Is up he believes not less than
n 5 per cent is killed and that 25 per
cent not yet up will'not mature, or if
it does that the plant will die soon
after coming out of the ground.
“A larger per cent of cotton is
’limited in south Georgia than l ever

harm ’
great has been done. About
50 per cent of the crop down there
has been planted!
“Market and kitchen gardens have
been killed out; com nipped and put
back, but that will not seriously harm
it. as the plant will put out again;
oats and other grain is hurt; canta¬
loupes and watermelons have all been
killed, and replanting will be neces¬
sary.
“It is difficult to iTate how serious¬
ly tho fruit crop hift been damaged.
The high winds hove beaten the
limbs about until a great deal of the
fruit will fall off. I am afraid the

QUAKE STARTLES MEXICANS.
Earth Rocked for Four Minutes, But
no Damage Was Done.
An. earthquake lasting for lour and
a half minutes startled the City of
Mexico Sunday night. The earth
rocked in a long, swinging motion, ter¬
rifying the inhabitants, but doing no
damage so far as . can be learned.
Clocks in the city stopped and tele¬
graph wires were put out of commis¬
sion. For a short time Ihp city was
in darkness owing to the failure of
the electric lights.
BOLD WORK OF LONE BANDIT.
Stage Coach Held Up and Sum of
$28,COO Secured.
The stage running between Malta
and Zortman, Mont., was held up Sun¬
day night by a lone bandit, according
to a telephone message received in
Great Falls, and a sum estimated at
$28,000 is said to have been secured.
The robbery occurred just north of
Zortman; as the stage was entering
the Little . Rockies, with a consign
ment of money to pay the wages of
the miners at the Zortman mines.

Again.
A New York special says: Hope¬
lessly divided—seven for a verdict of
guilty of murder in tho first degree

January 23 has been trying Ilarry
K. Thaw reported Friday afternoon
after forty-seven hours and eight
minutes of deliberation that it could
not possibly agree. The twelve men
were promptly discharged by Justice
Fitzgerald, who declared that he, too
believed their task hopeless. Thaw
was remanded to the Tombs with¬
out bail to await a second trial on
the charge of having murdered Stan¬
ford White.
When this new trial will take place
no one connected with tho case could
express an opinion. District Attor¬
ney Jerome declared that there were
many other persons accused of homi¬
cide awaitiug trial and that Thaw
would have to take his turn.
As to a possible change of venue
both the district attorney and counsel
for Thaw deoiared they would make
no such move. Thaw’s attorneys
will have a conference with the
prisoner to decide upon their next
step. They may make an early appli¬
cation for bail. Mr. Jcromo said
that he will strenuously oppose it*
He added that as seven of the jurors
had voted for “guilty,” his opposition
probably would be successful. In
that event, Thaw has another long
summer before him in the city pris¬
on, for his case on the already crowd¬
ed crimlmJ calendar cannot possi¬
bly be react fcJ until fall.

and Josiah Thaw, the brothers, re¬
ceived the new's iu absolute silence.
Thaw’s wife gripped her husband’s
hands tightly as the jury foreman
spoke, and then when he sank down
by her side, she tried to cheer hiA
as best she could by saying that she*
believed he would now be admitted
to bail, and that a second jury would
surely set -him free.
• The mother, the sisters and the
brothers, pale and well-nigh exhaust¬
ed by their tedious, nerve-racking
iwait for a verdict; smiled weakly at
Thaw as he was led away again to
the Tombs. They were permitted to
speak with him for a few moments
to bifi him be of good cheer before
he crossed the "bridge of sighs” to
the ceil, which until a few minutes
before he had hoped he was about to
quit forever.
Outside the big sqiuare criminal
courts building only a few hundred
persons were gathered. Thousands
had been there earlier in the day,
but the police had instructions to
keep every one moving, and this
soon fired the idly curious.
Thaw, when he had returned to
the Tombs, gave out the following
statement:
“I believed that every man in the
jury possessing average intelligence,
excepting possibly Mr. Bolton, com¬
prehended the weight of evidence and
balanced it; for acquittal. All of my
family bid me goodby with courage.

GAS FAVORITE SUICIDE ROUTE.
The PiStol Is a Close Second—Accord¬
ing to the Annual Report.
Asphyxiation by gas is still the
favorite method of suicide in Manhat¬
tan. There were, according to the
report of the coroners of New York
County, 398 suicides in 1906, and of
these 124 by gas. However, tho pis¬
tol route followed the gas method in
a close second. There were 110 who
died by shooting.
Here is the remainder of the list,
as the coroners present it, showing
how the people of Manhattan end
their lives when they decide to
“schuffle off this mortal coll:" Cut¬

however, mean that there have been

ROMANTIC DEVONSHIRE
The I-ar.d Made Famous by Phllpotts*
Novels.
Philpotts has made us familiar
with romantic Devonshire, in his fas¬
cinating novels, “The River,” "Chil¬
dren of the Mist, ’ etc. The charac¬
ters are very human; the people there
drink coffee with the same results a3
elsewhere. A writer at Rock House,
Orchard Hill, Btdeford, North Devon,
states:
“For 30 years I drank coffee for
breakfast, and dinner but some 5
years ago I found that it was produc¬
ing indigestion and heart-burn, and
was making me restless ■ at night.
These symptoms were followed by
brain fag and a sluggish mental con¬
dition.
"When I realized this, 1 made up
my mind that to quit drinking coffee
and having read of Postum, I con¬
cluded to try it. I had it carefully
made, according to directions, and
found to my agreeable surprise at the
end of-a w’eek, that I no longer suf¬
fered from either indigestion, heart-
burn, or brain fag, and that I could
drink it at night and se.cure restful
and refreshing sleep.
“Since that time we have entirely
discontinued the use of the old kind
of coffee, growing fonder and fonder
of Postum as time goes on. My di¬
gestive organs certainly do their work
much better now than before, a re¬
