The first im pulse of President Taft after the senate Cad amended the treaty during last sea udon in spite of the protests of the ad ministration senators was to immediate ly abandon the convention and to de- Wine to undertake to induce the British (government to accept the amendments F Which struck at the very essence of the principle of unrestricted arbitration. K» v After more mature consideration, how saver, and frequent conferences between •Secretary Knox and Mr. Bryce, the was disposed to consider the Advisability of pressing the treaty to 4M conclusion, on the theory that it Iwould at least constitute a notice to the ■’world of the intentions of the two gov ernments to be guided by the principle of arbitration in further dealings. BRYCE HOPED FOR TREATY. It was urged also that with the treaty as a foundation it might be pos sible in the near future to bring the senate to the point of approving sup iplstnentary articles which in effect would amount to unlimited arbitration. Recently, however, the administration became convinced of the impracticabili ty of this plan, and it is believed that the final decision of the president to drop the treaty was the determining factor in bringing about Ambassador Bryce s decision to retire. The ambas sador had hoped he might round out his diplomatic career by signing a trea ty which would stand as a mile post in the history of the growth of internation al disputes. SIR ARTHUR SPRING-RICE TO COME. Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice. who probably will succeed Mr. Bryce, has "wad a long and distinguished service in the diplomatic field. He is well remem ,*ered here for his long service at the embassy during the days of Lord Y*anncefote.' At the foreign office in London he has held many important "posts and has been closely identified at various times with the earl of Grand ville. Lord Rosebery and more recently with Lord Curxon. while governor gen eral of India. Sir Arthur was at the British em bassy here at the time Lord Curxon ggame to marry Miss Leiter, and was one of the leading figures in that interna tional ceremony. Sir Arthur was at the British em bassy here at the time Lord Cursbn came *to marry Miss Leiter, and was .one of the leading figures in that in | teraatienal ceremony.

With the exception of the official Westminster Gazette the comments of the evening newspapers on Mr. Bryce's .term of office at Washington are most 'unfavorable.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Nov. 9.—A new wage schedule containing it is under stood, a demand for a 10 per cent In crease in the wages of conductors and trainmen on the fifty-two railroads east |of Chicago, north of the Ohio river, , will probably be presented to the com mute of general managers representing the roads at the first of next year, It was learned here today. Although W. G. Lee. president of the Brotherhood of Railway Tralmen, refuses to discuss the nature of the demands, it is said a vote of all the members on the submission of the demands has been taken. The trainmen and conductors were expected to be ready to submit their demands, which were formulated at a joint con ference of the officers at Rohcester, N. Y., recently, when tne result of the arbitration of the engineers demands is made public. This probably will be next week. The demand for the increase is said to be due to the fact that the trainmen In the eastern section receive an av erage 10 per cent less than the wages of those of the western and southern sec* tiona Standardization of wages upon all the fifty-two roads involved is also continued in the demands, it is said. “All men back of the engine, are af fected in the new schedule of the con ductors and trainmen, of whom there are about 176,000 on the fifty-two roads."

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1912 RDBT. L. CLIf SENTENCED TO KING DECEMBER 13 Only a Pardon by Governor Can Now Save Convicted 1 Man’s Life Robert L. Clay, convicted wife murderer wu sentenced by judge L. S. Roan, of the superior court, Saturday after noon. to hang on Friday, December 13, between 10 a. m. and 2 p. m. This is the second time that the court has fixed the date for the expiation of Clay's crime, and now only the gov ernor stands between him and death. Clay murdered his wife during the lat ter part of May and June 26 was found guilty and on the same date was sen tenced by Judge Roan to die on July 26. The execution was stayed by the filing of a plea for a new trial, which was overruled. It was then expected that the convicted man’s attorneys would make another effort to save his life by car rying the case to the supreme court on a bill of exceptions. The time of filing such a bill, however, expired this week, and Saturday Judge Roan ordered the convicted man before him and set the date for his execution. Wiliiam M. Smith, of counsel for Clay, announced during the day that he would take the case before the prison commis sion m an effort to have Clay's sentence commuted on the ground that he is in sane. A plea of insanity has been the de fense, since the very day of the crime. Not even the man’s attorneys have been able to get him to make a stace ment of any character. When he is spoken to he sits like he doesn't hear, holding his head in a peculiar manner and rolling his eyes about like a mad person. He is per fectly docile, however, and deputies who have had him in charge, have ex perienced litcle difficulty In handling him. After his silence had been unbroken for several days, his attorneys declared that he was insane, and the court ap pointed three alienists to make a report on his condition. The physicians were unanimous in their statement that the man was shamming Insanity and the jury found him guilty of murder in the first degree. . Clay shot and killed his wife, Mrs. Kate Hughes Clay, from whom he had been separated a short time, at the home of his sister, Mrs. W. W. Smith, of 201 Lee street, during May. He was arrested a few minutes later, apparently in a dazed condition. No motive for the crime, except his wife’s refusal to live with him, has been ad vanced.

Where They Will Witness the Inauguration and Be Shown the Wonders of America’s M ost Beautiful City-This Great Opportunity Will Be Accorde d and Every Cent of Expense Borne by The Journal One hundred and twenty-five southern school boys will attend the inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson, as the special guests of The Atlanta Journal. An opportunity to become a member of this party is offered to every school and college boy in the south, over fourteen years of age. The Journal will transport these boys to Washington and return on a spe cial train of luxuriously-equipped Pullman and dining cars. Every cent of expense for this trip, including meals on the train, board and hotel accommodations in Washington, and various sight seeing expeditions will be borne by this paper. From the moment the 125 school boys get aboard this train in Atlanta until they leave it In this city five days later, they will be The Journal’s guests. Not often is such a trip as this offered to the average school boy. It will only prove immensely entertaining, but the sights which the boys will see and the information which they will gain, is beyond es timate. \ WIIX SEE WILSON INAUGURATED. The southern boys who go on this trip, will witness the inaugura tion of the first president which the south has given to the United States since 1845. They will be present when this great southerner, who spent his boyhood and young manhood in Georgia, and who married a Georgia girl, and two of whose children were born in this state, takes up his official residence in the White House. This will be a most au spicious occasion and hundreds of thousands of visitors from all sections of this and foreign countries, will be in Washington for the event. The Journal’s guests will be provided a special vantage point from which to view the inaugural parade in which both President Taft and President-elect Wilson will ride. This magnificent' pageant is alone worth going hundreds of miles to see. However, It will be only one of the many features which The Journal’s party will enjoy. WASHINGTON IS MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY. Washington, the most beautiful city on the American continent, provides innumerable sights to challenge the wonder and admiration of all visitors, and The Journal’s guests will be given opportunity to see and admire them all. The capitol, crowning Capitol HIH and costing $13,000,000 is one of the most beautiful public edifices in the world. The new Congressional Library, affording accommodations for 6,000,000 volumes and costing $6,347,000, is a marvekof architecture. The United States treasury building, constructed of granite in the Io ilc style, and costing $6,000,000, is three-stories high, 468 feet long, by 264 wide. There is in all about 200 rooms in this budding, including the cash room, which is finished with rich marble and occupies two stories; the gold room, containing millions of dollars in gold coins; the redemption division, counterfeit room, etc. All of the United States notes, bonds, etc., are made here. OTHER INTERESTING STRUCTURES. The building of the state, war and navy departments is one of the largest public edifices in Washington. It is built of granite in the Roman Doric style, four stories high, covers four and one-half acres and cost $11,000,000. There are various other magnificent government build ings, including the patent office building, the land office building, the pen sion building, the bureau of education, department of agriculture build ing, Army Medical Museum and Library luilding, United States Naval observatory, the building of the Commission of Fish and Fisheries, and the National Soldiers’ Home. Especial interest attaches to the Smithsonian Institute which con tains a wonderful museum, library and cabinets of natural history, etc. The library of 150,000 carefully collected volumes is unsurpassed in the United States, as a resource for scientific reference, while in its museum are collected the rich acquisitions of many exploring expeditions. Then there is the world-famous Washington monument, erected by the American people in honor of George Washington. The corner stone of this building was laid in 1848, by President Polk, the last southerner to occupy the White House. This monument is 555 feet high and is the highest monument in the world. It cost $1,500,000. The White House and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and many other buildings afford national interest to visitors. Arlington, the national soldiers’ cemetery, spreads over a range of hills in Fairfax county, Va., on the Potomac river, opposite Washington. At one time, General Robert E. Lee, the great southern chieftain, had a residence here. WILL VISIT WASHINGTON’S OLD HOMri. One of the sight-seeing tours, which has been arranged for the south ern school boys, lead- to Mt. Vernon, the original estate of George Washington. It is located in Fairfax county, Va., on the right bank of the Potomac river, 15 miles south of Washington. There is found the tomb of Washington. The old Washington home, which is kept as near as possible in its original condition, contains an abundance of interesting relics. The coach house shelters Washington’s carriage and in the gar dens are trees planted by his hands. The places mentioned are only a few of the many attractions which will enlist the interest of The Joural’s guests. Similar trips to that arranged for southern boys next March, have been conducted in the past with great success by The Journal) In March, 1901, this paper took twenty-five school . boys and twenty-five college boys to Washington to witness the inauguration of President McKinley. During that same year, fifty young women were The Journal’s guests on a trip to the Mammoth Cave, and the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, N. Y. In 1907, The Journal carried 100 school teachers and pupils, on a special train, to the Jamestown Exposition. Forty persons visited the World’s Fair at St. Louis, in 1904, at the expense of The Journal. JOURNAL OFFICIALS WILL ESCORT PARTY. Properly escorted by responsible representatives of The Journal, the special Pullman train, which is to carry the 125 southern boys to the inauguration of President Wilson, will leave Atlanta on the morning of March 3, next. It will arrive in Washington early on the following day. Three days will be spent in and around the Capital City. Fifty-five of The Journal’s guests on this occasion will be school boys from Atlanta ■ and Fulton county. The remaining seventy will come from the state outside of Fultop county and from other southern states. The fortunate "inyonths will be selected through the medium of an inauguration campaign «’• Which The Journal will begin on Tuesday afternoon, November 12. This campaign will continue until February 1, 1913. Each day during this period, The Journal will carry an inauguration trip coupon. The 125 school boys securing the greatest number of these coupons, will compose the party. Full details of the campaign will be printed in Tuesday afternoon’s paper. Every ambitious, industrious and wide-awake boy is invited to compete for the trip. Get ready to get busy. The prise is worth striving for and equal opportunities will be offered to all. Bullet Strikes Robber Only Few Inches From Nitro-Glycerin Flask DELTA, Cal., Nov. 9.—When the un identified bandit who held up the Shas ta limited here last night, pitched head long from the engine cab, he carried in his pocket a pint flask of nitroglycerine. If the bullet that killed him had struck the flask the resultant explosion would have killed the engineer and fire man, and possibly have blown upu the locomotive. Details of the robbery obtained today show that Jim Yokum,, the head brake man train, not Thorb Sanford, as first reported, shot the robber. Charged With Theft WAYCROSS.

EDUCATIONAL TALK No. 3 WHEN I assumed management of the busi ness founded by my father, I gave my word that his high-minded, honorable methods would be continued—that I would expose jraud in every quarter —fight decertion and dishonesty with all my might—keep my business above reproach. This advertisement is in fulfillment of that promise. By reason of the continual emphasis of “Proof** in the advertisements of mail order whiskey concerns, the public has almost come to accept “proof* as an indication of Quality. To correct this error, and protect the public from impo sition, I want to tell you, in the strongest language at my com mand, that proof does not indicate quality— and show you why. Most people know that “proof* means alcoholic strength —that whiskey containing 50 per cent, alcohol is “100 proof* —what they don*t know is that whiskey may be “100 Proof* and still be so raw, impure, fiery and dangerous as to be absolutely unfit for use. I ■ The reason is this: An unreliable distiller can (and does) use spoiled or “sweated” grain in making his whiskey, because he can buy it at a fraction of what No. 1 grain would cost. He then proceeds to “graft” his mash by means of chemicals —a process that abstracts the last lingering drop of alcohol from the grain—and allows him to advertise his pro duct as “100 proof* BUT WHAT ABOUT THE QUALITYf You know as well as I do that good whiskey can*t be made from that kind of grain—it is bound to be musty, moul dy and impure, because the materials were bad. Quality in whiskey is secured only by the use of selected ripe grain—grain that grades No. 1 and brings top price— carefully and scientifically distilled without “squeezing” or “grafting” the mash, and thorough aging in charred oak casks in Government Bonded Warehouses. Whiskey made in this manner is medicinally and chem ically Pure — rich, mellow, palatable and beneficial. Don*t permit yourself to be fooled by this cry of “proof* —better send your order to a house with a reputation to sustain—a house that is known to sell only goods of high qual* ity —a house that never attempts to sidestep an obligation, and that conducts its business in an honorable, straightfor ward manner.

OKDEH FltOM NEAKBST EOINT NATIONAL COMMITTEE MIY NOT DISBAND IT All Democratic Leaders Are Pro posing Several Reforms, McCombs Interested (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—Democratic leaders propose to introduce several po litical novelties now that they are as sured of control of the federal govern ment for the next four years, accord ing to authoritative reports here tbday. A feature proposed is the maintenance of the Democratic national committee as a continuous working institution. The committee could serve a good purpose, it is set forth, in the education of the people in Democratic principles and in the enlightenment of the people as to what the party is doing. In *this connection the establishment of a “gov ernment suggestion box,” to which citi sens through the country might submit ideas on governmental affairs, has been suggested. The novelties are said to have been given serious thought by Chairman Wil liam F. McCombs, who conducted the Wilson campaign. From a source close to the chairman it was said that he was so enthusiastic over the ideas that he would like to carry them out, if pos sible, even to the exclusion of any other position. Mr. McCombs was out of town this morning, having gone to Princeton to congratulate Mr. Wilson. It is believed that he has laid the plans before Gov ernor Wilson. QUITMAN POSTOFFICE HAS MANY APPLICANTS QUITMAN. Ga., Nov. 9. —Following the Democratic victory an amaxlng number of active and alleged applicants so” the Quitman postmaster's place have sprung up, this being about the only local slice of pie prospective of ficeholders can look forward to. It is understood several of the clerks in th* postoffice are ambitious to succeed Postmaster Griffin and a number ot outsiders are apparently canvassing the situation. Postmaster Griffin's term of office does not expire until December, 1913, so it would be over a year before a new appointee would take the office. Postmaster Griffin succeeded his fa ther, S. M. Griffin, in the office about ten years ago upon the latter’s death. He had received training in the office as a clerk and has made a splendid of ficial in every way, giving entire sat isfaction. There has never been any trouble in the office, and the eagerness to oust the postmaster is not due to any spirt of complaint, but to the time-honored political precept that to the victor be longs the spoils. Aside from those who may be applicants for the Job. however, it is probable that a majority of the public would be entirely willing to see the present incumbent continue in the office.
