Senator Terrel! gave out a statement Sunday night reaf firming his purpose to leave the state only parttally represented in the United States senate. He declares that his pair with a Republican senator is broken, and adds that Senator Bacon will be Geor gia's sole representative in the United States senate if Mr. Smith persists in holding the governor’s office Referring to the governor's letter to him. the senator declares that Mr. Smith mistakes indignation for bitterness. Senator Torrell’s statement follows: “Further correspondence with Gov ernor Smith would only obscure this fact: P I am no longer senator, and unless he qualifies Hon. A. O. Bacon is the only representative of Georgia in the United States sedate My pair is canceled and fe the vice president has been notified. Hence, it is with Governor Smith whether he will rem Un in Georgia to Intermeddle In state politics, or go to Washington "Governor Smith uses the wrong word when he attributes to me ‘bitterness.’ He should have said Indignation.’ My first letter to him was courteous and imper sonal Hts reply bade me observe bis bidding and yield compliance to his polit ical necessities It further demanded con currence in the necessity for hie remain ing governor for the benefit of the state. ‘-This tetter brought to memory the > action of the Convention that nomi nated him and proclaimed the necessity of his serving as governor and which re h fused to permit the presentation of Gov- ■ ernor Brown’s name. GAG LAW IN CONVENTION, f ’lt refreshed my recollection of the | gag law the convention adopted and its suppression of free speech. It brought to mind that two congressional districts were not permitted representation on the executive committee. It made fresh the action of his executive committee in re fusing a primary for the election of a L United States senator by the people, in conformity with the demand of the peo ,« pie. all upon the plea that that they did not wish the trouble of an election. -Such position was advocated by Gov- I ernor Smith's organ. The Atlanta Jour nal, which is now condemning the city council of Atlanta for refusing to sub mit to the people commission govern ment. which provides for innumerable elections “Governor Smith's letter further re minds me that such conduct on the part of his ’executive committee’ in stifling |j. popular expressions was to secure an election to the senatorship which the peo ple would not have granted. They would I not have listened to the statement that Governor Smith was not now needed as | governor, while he had announced to them that the state could only be saved |.» by him tn that position. They would not g have ratified his claim of being the only citizen in Georgia to save it at the ex * pense of countless money and agitation in numerous elections followed by a special session of the legislature. The people | foresaw the elections and cost to follow the situation produced by his avarice for power. They would have been advised of the confusion, dissension and wrangling now existing. “I was further reminded of the hordes of officeeeekers besieging the legislature and ear-wigging the legislators and en deavoring to secure their votes. Governor L Smith is now doing gross injustice to | his friends in the leislature by placing on them the impossible burden of explaining his present action. TO DISPENSE PATRONAGE. “The letter of Governor Smith brought it more clearly to view that he Intended to remain governor for the ostensible purpose of carrying out policies, when it was for the real purpose of dispensing patronage as a politician. Many support ed him on the theory that it would dis pense with him in Georgia politics, but his conduct is a prophecy of his intended interference. "I was further Impressed with that habitual arrogance and domination and disregard of principles which has charac r terixed him. under the banner of exalted patriotism, and yet with hts announced determination to leave the people of Georgia only partially represented in the national capitol. when he has the op portunity of rendering them the greatest service ever offered to man “J further thought that this high-hand edness and despotic conduct were al! re flected in his arrogant letter to me. an ex governor and ex-United States senator, | when be bade me obey his direction. It * occurred to me that he did it all in de- I fiance of the people's right, and the X - pectation that Georgians, free, indepen dent and self-reliant, would forget, be fore the next eleceion. his unpardonable course, and re-elect him to a position which calls for unselfishness, self-sacrifice and pure patriotism. ‘These things produced Indignation, not E-» •bitterness.’ "If Governor Smith can postpone his I performance of senatorial duties for a week, he may do so for a year, or during the entire gubernatorial term. What he does is dependent upon his wilL" RUSSIA WILL SEND ~ NEW AMBASSADOR ST.

FRIENDS OF TRAMMELL URGE HIM FOR GOVERNOR Silence of Dalton Man Will Probably Result in Mass Meeting of Supporters (Special Dispatch to'The Journal.) DALTON, Ga., July 17.—The publicity given the plan to indorse Paul B. Tram mell for governor. In mass meeting here, has set the entire city *o talking; and it’s a noticeable fact thac practically the entire section is united in thv opinon that he would prove one of the strongest can didates that could be put in the field. Sunday the plan was discussed by inter ested groups on the street, and those who had. up to then, given the matter ’no thought, stated that their opinion was Mayor Trammell could swing practically the entire vote of the progressive wing of the party. Mayor Trammel! is still reticent, re fusing to discuss the matter even to his most intimate friends and supporters. If he maintains this attitude. It is practical ly certain that a mass meeting will be called and he will be placed in the field by his friends—his active opposition to the meeting and his positive refusal to became a candidate being considered the only thing which can put a check to his boom for governor. The sentiment here is undoubtedly strongly in favor of his offering for the office; this plan to put him in the race is general and not confined to an enthusi astic few. That he is fit timber for the office is also known, and it is also cer tain that he deserves the honor. While Mayor Trammell is intensely popular in this section of the state, his popularity and prominence extend to all sections, being increased by hs active work In carrying through successfully Governor Smith's last campaign for gov ernor. Mayor Trammell has received assur ances of support from prominent men all over the state, should he decide to be come a candidate. Up to a few years ago. Mayor Tram mell had retired from public life, after having served as internal revenue col lector for Georgia during the second ad ministration of President Cleveland, and having been an active and prominent member of both branches of the general assembly, being speaker pro tem. of the house during one of his terms. In 1909 the people of Dalton united In getting him to offer for mayor, which office he re ceived without opposition, being the only mayor ever elected here In that way. During his two years in office he has done more for the improvement of Dal ton than has been done in any other ten years. Mayor Trammell is a college man, hav ing graduated from the state university, where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fiatemity. FRENCHMAN FINDS NEW YORK “AMAZING” HOBOKEN. N. J-, July - 17.— ur. Charles Pranard, deputy chief of the bu reau of social providence of France, who is here to look over this city’s housing methods, finds conditions in New York ’•amasing." He started off with an ex amination of East Side tenements, ■ hop • ing to get some hints for improving housing conditions in France, but hts first glimpse led him to think that this city had better send to Paris for instruc tion. “I inspected several tenements in lower Manhattan," he said on his re turn. “and found the tenants paying $5 a month rent per room. Many of these rooms are so dark that they should be vacated al cnce as unfit for human be ings to live in. Taey are also veritable death traps. "Five hundred dollars is the average earning of unskilled laborers in New York, out of which they have to pay 818 U a year for their small rooms. This is about one-third of their total income in Paris unskilled workmen earn $450 a year on the average, but their rents are only S9O for throe or four rooms, that is only a fifth of their earnings. We feel in France that the rent should not take more than one-fifth of the earnings.” SHALL UNIONS~USE~ NON UNION BOATS?

The new treaty of commerce and navigation be tween the United States and Japan went into operation today, replacing the old treaty negotiated during Secretary Gres ham’s administration. The Important point of difference be tween the two conventions lies in ths omission from the new convention of the paragraph in the old. relating to immigration restrictions which was ob jectionable to the Japanese, the United States relying upon the honor of Japan to carry out the spirit of existing un dertakings which prevent the departure of Japanese coolies to America. There is also provision for the sub stitution of the new Japanese customs taiff for the existing general conven tional rates.

It is estimated that there are some thing like 20,000 persons scattered throughout the United States and Can ada who are entitled to moneys and lands now tied up in the English High Court of Chancery and elsewhere ow ing to the inability of lawyers to lo cate them. The great trouble is that foreign lawyers, when searching for lost heirs, almost invariably advertise for them in London and Edinburgh news papers. As these papers are seldom seen in this country, of course the missing heir never knows of the good fortune that is awaiting him or her, and thus the case drags along In the courts for an indefinite time. As an aid to those interested in Chancery cases, and who believe they are entitled to an inheri tance, an enterprising publisher has pre pared an authentic list of persons who have been advertised for during the past 150 years, including the famous Bo gardus. Sir Frances Draxe, Page, Spring er, Townley, Jennings and Harlem es tates, and unsettled estates in England, Germany, France, Ireland, Scotland and other countries. The list is a very long one, and not only gives the full name of the heir that Is being searched for, but also the name and address of the attorney having charge of the estate in Chancery. Any person can secure de tails of this list by sending a 2-cent stamp to the ROyal Register, 151 Met. Life Bldg., New York City. EIGHT ARE KILLED IN RAILWAY WRECK MULLHEIM. Germany.

Trusses like tboee xbown above—tbe belt and leg-strap, elastic and spring contraptions —sold by drugstore* and many self-styled “Hernia Specialists”—make life miserable for everybody who wears them. Moreover, they often do Immense harm — they squeeze the rupture, often causing strang ulation—dig into the pelvic bone in frront— press Against tbe sensitive spinal column at the back. The Plain Truth is This. Rupture—as in our free book— can't be relieved or cured—ean’t even be kept from growing worse—unless constantly held in pl sot. Just as a bandage nr splint is the only way a broken bone can be held—the right kind of truss is the only thing in the world that can keep a rupture from coming out. What a difference it will make when you get that kind of truss. And you can get exactly that kind of truss— without risking a cent of your money. It's the famous Cluthe Truss or Cluths Au tomatic Masaager. Far more than a truss —far more than merely a device for holding the rupture >n place. Self-regulating, self-adjusting. No belt, elastic band or springs around your waist, and no leg-straps—nothing to pinch, chafe, squeeze or bind. Try It Without Bisking a Fanny. We have so pinch faith in the duthe Truss —we have seen it work wonders for so many others—that we want to make one especially for your case and let you wear it at our risk. We’ll give you plenty of time to test it—if it doesn’t keep your rupture from coming out. when you are working and at all other times —if it doesn’t put an end to the trouble you've heretofore had with your rupture—if you don’t get better right away—then the truss won’t cost you a cent.
