30,000 FIREMEN READY
TO STRIKE ON 02 ROADS
Walk Out Seems Inevitable
’Unless Managers Agree to
Arbitrate
NEW YORK. Feb. 8.—With the au
thoritative statement that 30,000 rail
way firemen of the fifty-two eastern
railroads have voted in favor of a strike
unless the managers of the various lines
consent to arbitration under the Erd-
man act of their demands for increased
wages, the question tonight is just how
far either side would go in carrying out
the threats they have made.
It was reported today that the rail
roads, becoming convinced that the fire
men would vote in favor of a strike,
have already arranged for men to take
their places. Strike-breakers have been
tentatively& hired, it is said, and every
indication was that the railway mana
gers were prepared for a contest.
A statement issued by the managers
today declared:
“Advices received by the eastern rail
roads indicate that the 30,000 fireman
almost to a man have voted ‘yes’ on
the proposition to strike and tie up over
52,000 miles of railroads, rather than
accept the offer of the companies to
arbitrate through a commission of dis
interested men of sufficient numbers
adequately to consider the magnitude
of the question at issue.
“If the firemen announce that as the
result of their strike vote their com
mission will call out the men, the rail
roads will, of course, take steps imme
diately to prepare for the operation of
trains under strike conditions.”
President W. S. Carter, of the Broth
erhood of Firemen, will arrive in New
York Sunday. The ballots cast by the
men on the various roads, have been
arriving during the last week and the
count has practically been completed.
Next Tuesday is the date set for the
official announcement of the vote.
Then, the union officials say, the rail
roads will be given twenty-four to
forty-eight hours to agree to arbitration
under the Erdman act or face a strike.
If the railway managers stand out
against the Erdman act, the 30,000 fire
men will be prepared to .walk out the
minute the time limit has expired.
With Foot Caught
In Frog, He Waited
a Horrible Death
ORANGE N. J. Feb. 8.—His foot
caught in th frog of a switch, Thomas
G. Ryan, a hattfr, was cut down and
killed by an express locomotive on the
Lackawanna railroad near his home hefre
last night. Ryan had stepped/ from an
eastbound track to let a train pass,
only to be caught in the death trap of
the switch on the westbound track. He
saw the rays of a headlight piercing the
darkness?, but as he was on a short
curve, the light did not shine on him
and the engineer could not see him.
Ryap yelled hoarsely, waved his hat
and his arms frantically to no avail.
COLUMBUS POLICE MAY
HAVE BIG SHAKE-UP
COLUMBUS, Ga., Feb. 8.—A “shake-
up" in the Columbus police department
may result from an investigation now
under way by the police commissioners.
At a meeting of the board last night,
Patrolman Jackson, who for some time
has been assigned to the Broad street
district, was “fired” outright, the
charges being conduct unbecoming an
officer.
And the probe continues.
It is said that some of the officers
were derelict in duty to the extent of
“winking” at vice, which had become
quite ■ glaring right in the main busi-
. ness section Of the city, and other dis-
cnarges are expected before the inves-
tigatton ends.

Smoke of Herbs
Cures Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way and
It Costs Nothing to Try.
This' preparation of herbs, leaves,
flowers and berries (containing no to
bacco or habit-forming drugs! is eithes
smoked in an ordinary clean pipe or
smoking tube, and by drawing the med
icated smoke into the mouth and In
haling into the lungs or sending it out
through the nostrils in a perfectly nat
ural way, the worst case of Catarrh
can be eradicated.

ntAoe item
RCeiSTEKD
It is not unpleasant to use, and at
the same time it is entirely harmless,
and can be used by man, woman oi
child.
Just as Catarrh is contracted by
breathing cold or dust and germ-laden
air, just so this balmy antiseptic smok
ing remedy goes to all the affected
parts of the air passages of the head,
nose, throat and lungs. It can readily
be seen why the ordinary treatments
such as sprays, ointments, salves,
liquid 'or tablet medicines fall—they
do not and can not reach all the af
fected parts.
If you have catarrh of the nose,
throaty or lungs, choking, stopped-up
feeling,- co^ds, catarrhal headaches;
if you are given, to hawking and spit
ting, this simple yet scientific treat
ment should cure you.
An illustrated book which goes thor
oughly into the whole question of the
cause, cure and prevention of catarrh
will, upon request, be sent you by Dr.
J. W. Blosser, 51 Walton street, At
lanta, Ga.
He will, also, mail you five day*’
free treatment. You will at once see
tha-t it is awonderful remedy, and as
it only costs one dollar for the regular
treatment, it is within the reach of
everyone. It is not necessary to send
any money—simply send your name
and address and the booklet and free
trial package will be mailed you im
mediately.-— (Advt.)
Doctors Said He Had Dropsy
Some time ago I had an attack of
grippe which finally settled in my kid
neys and bladder. I doctored with the
doctors and they claimed I had dropsy.
I tried other remedies and got no relief
from any of them. My condition was
such that I was unable to work for about
two months and the annoying symptoms
caused me a great deal of trouble and
pain. I was hardly able to turn over in
bed. Seeing one of your Almanacs, I
decided to give Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root a trial and after taking several
bottles was able to resume my work
again. I cannot say too much in praise of
your Swamp-Root as the results in my
case were truly wonderful.
Yours very truly,

College Boys and Town Citi
zens Will Honor Him on
Departure
(By Associated Press.)
PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 7.—Residents
of Princeton—students, members of the
faculty, neighbors and townfolk gener
ally—will say good-by to Woodrow Wil
son on the evening of Saturday, March
1, two days before he leaves for Wash
ington to assume the presidency.
Plans for a big farewell demonstra
tion to the president-elect, who has lived
here for more than twenty-seven years,
were announced today by Joseph Hoff,
a member of the Democratic state com
mittee and an intimate friend of the
governor.
“We want to show Governor Wilson
that while we regret to lose him as a
neighbor,” said Hoff, “we are glad that
a resident of the town should be go
ing to the White House.
The farewell probably will take the
form of a reception at the Wilson bun
galow. Citizens of the town will co
operate with the students in making the
celebration orte of great enthusiasm.
A big parade will start from the cen
ter of town and march down Cleve
land lane to the Wilson home. The stu
dents who have just organized a brass
band to lead them in the inaugural
parade, expect to give the band its first
tryout on that occasion.
The stuaents are busy with plans for
escorting the governor to Washington.
They will travel in a long string of
coaches and have engaged for the pres
ident-elect and his family the same pri
vate car from which the governor made
most of his campaign speeches.
The president-elect went to Philadel
phia today for another visit to his den
tist.
WARM WEATHER HURTS
BROOKS’ PORKERS
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
QUITMAN, Ga., Feb. 7.—The con
tinued warm weather after the down
pouring rains and thunderstorms of the
first of the week is not only a source
of disappointment to the Brooks county
farmers, but is getting them worried as
well. These warm spring days are all
right for the fields and the spring crops,
but all wrong for the porkers that are
still roaming the fields instead of be
ing all nicely cured and in their proper
places—the smokehouse.
A great many farmers took advantage
of the one cold day last week and kill
ed their hogs and the* problem now con-*
fronting them is to save the meat. Mr.
J. H. Livingston, who has a farm near
town, has been very auccesful with a
method he has adopted and has not lost
a piece of meat this year.
All the farmers use ice, with the
warm weather it is necessary, but he
says he gets the ^best results from
standing two blocks of ice on end in
the smokehouse on the dirt floor, tying
a piece of wire around them to keep
them from toppling over.
Then he gets some green pine tops and
places them around the ice and the meat
upon this to keep it off the ground
and also give it ventilation from be
low. He lays the meat as close to
the ice as possible, with the bone parts
next to the ice.
Care should be taken to make the
piles of meat uniform so as the ice melts
it leaves space between it and the meat,
thus leaving the meat dry and also
space for the vapors and gas to pass
off.
ANOTHER GAMBLER
TELLS OF POLICE GRAFT
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—Another gam
bler has come to the aid of the dis
trict attorney, it was announced today,
to continue the disclosures of police
graft begun With the murder of Herman
Rosenthal last summer.
He is James Purcelle, erstwhile
gambling house proprietor. Through him
Assistant District Attorney Moss ex
pects to unfold to the aldermanic com
mittee a story of many thousands of
dollars paid over a long period for police
protection.
Police Commissioner Waldo said today
that notwithstanding the refusal of Dis
trict Attorney Whitman to permit Po
lice Captain Walsh to disclose his con
fession to the police, the investigation
by the police of his story would con
tinue. It was more important, Mr.
Waldo said, immediately to get grafters
off the police force than the result of
their trials in the courts.
Mrs, A, L, Lynn Tells Circum
stances Leading to Slay
ing of Hightower
fSoecial Dispatch to The Journal.)
DUBLIN, Ga., Feb. 8.—Declaring that
she had killed F. M. Hightower, be
cause he insulted-her, Mrs. A. L. Lynn,
who is on trial with her husband, joint
ly charged with Hightower’s death, gave
her testimony Saturday. v Mrs. Lynn’s
testimony followed the evidence given
by her husband, which was that his
wife told him she had shot and killed
Hightower. Mrs. Lynn’s statement fol
lows:
“Mr. Hightower came to our home.
He drove to the front of the house
and called, and asked where my hus
band was. I told him in the field pick
ing cotton.. He then drove to the barn
and put up his horse and came to the
house.
“When he came in I gave him a
rocker and went to the kitcheri and he
called me. When I came back he caught
my hand. I tried to free my hand and
he insulted me. In the excitement I
caught the pistol from a table and
fired.
“I can only explain the bullet holes
back.of where I was standing by hav
ing moved my position. I was excited,
and do not remember what I did.”
Mr. Lynn made a lengthy statement,
saying he had known Mr. Hightower
for years and considered him a warm
friend.
“There has never been a time when
I would not do anything for him,” he
said. “We had never had a dispute in
our lives. I loved him almost as *a fa
ther.
“In December I spoke of going to
Wilkes county and my wife said, ‘Let’s
write Uncle Frank and ask him to come
and stay with me and the children
while you are away.’ My wife started
the letter and I finished it.
When Water Reached
^Metallic Sodium
Ship Began to Burn
' (By Associated Press.)
LONDON, Feb. 8.»—The story of the
“demon cargo” of the steamship Hardy,
was written into the records of the
King’s bench yesterday, through the
testimony of her captain. On a voyage
from report with a large cargo of min
eral waters, consigned to a London
firm, water reached a quantity of me
tallic sodium, which was also a part of
the cargo, setting it afire.
The captain, not being aware of the
nature of the sodium, played the hose
on it with the result that two tons of
it were set afire and there was a se
ries of explosions. Nonplussed, the
captain ordered all the sodium heaved
overboard. When this was done the
force of the explosion of the sodium in
contact with the water, caused several
of the cases to jump back again aboard
the ship, and the vessel itself caught
fire. There was another explosion in
the cargo which caused the vessel to
break amidships and sing. The mate
was drowned, but the captain and -crew
were saved.
The story came out in an action for
damages against the steamship compa
ny for the loss of the mineral, water.
The court awarded the plaintiff $5,000
damages with costs, and remarked to
the captain that he seemed to have had
the “devil amdng the tailors when the
water got in.”
Gov. Sulzer Believes
As Did Sancho Panza
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—With but one-
twenty-fourth of his two year term
served, Governor Sulzer at the Lotus
club dinner tonight gave notice that he
would seek no other public office, but
intended to retire to “a little farm by
the side of the road, and be a friend
of man.”
The governor said a number of things
that indicated he had already felt the
sting of adverse criticism. After say
ing that he had worked an average of
eighteen hours out of every twenty-four
since he went to Albany, he remarked:
“Ybu are familiar with the advice of
Don Quixote to his faithful follower
about being a good governor and the
subtle reply of that diplomatic indi
vidual: ‘I would rather be Sanco Panza
and go to ’‘heaven than be governor and
go to hell.’ Many people, I am re
minded daily, take thq same view
concerning the destiny' of the governor
of the empire state.”

UNRIPE CITRUS CAN’T
BE SENT FROM FLORIDA
(By Associated Press.)
TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 8.—The supreme
court of Florida upheld as constitutional
the anti-green fruit shipments law
placed on the statute books by the legis
lature of 1911 in a decision rendered
yesterday.
The purpose of the law is to prevent
shipping of unripe or impure citus’
fruits out of the state. Such shipments
by growers anxious to get the early
market prices have in former years de
moralized the market because the fruit
was unfit to eat.
Some of the shippers violated the
law and when arrested made a test case,
carrying it to the highest state court
and contending the law was unconsti
tutional.

Senator Stephenson
Displays Draft for
Million and a Half
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—Senator Isaac
Stephenson, of Wisconsin, the oldest and
reputed the wealthiest senator, aroused
interest among some of the senate em
ployes today by displaying a draft for
$1,500,.000.
The 'draft had been given to the sen
ator in payment for lumber and timber
lands sold to a Louisiana company. One
of the employes asked Senator Stephen
son if he were not afraid he might lose
the draft if he carried it around and
displayed it so carelessly.
“If I did lose it,” remarked the sena
tor, “it would make little difference, be
cause nobody who would find it could
get it cashed today. You know -the
banks closed at noon,” sai dthe senator
with a twinkle of his eye.
This is the largest denomination of
exchange that has been seen around the
senate since the memorable day, many
years ago, when Henry G. /Davis, of
West Virginia, then a senatoi% called one
of his colleagues into the cloak room and
displayed a draft, for $7,000,000 which
he had just received as the purchase
price of a railroad.

GRAFT IN DISPENSARY WORK,
SAYS LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
COLUMBIA, S. C., Feb. 7.—“‘Your com
mittee also hod a meeting in Charleston
and as a result of that testimony and
other testimony along the same line
'taken in Columbia we are convinced that
a regular system of groft exists and has

Lyon, In their report filed with the sen-
ate^this morning and ordered printed In

signed by Senators Carlisle, Sullivan and
Clifton, and Representtatives J. J. Evans
and W. L. Daniel, while a minority re
port signed by Representative Cary
agrees in the findings of the majority
with the exception of the testimony
taken at Augusta, and afterwards in
Columbia, which Mr. Cary does not think
is relevant. The report with the excep
tion that B. F. Arthqr, when a member
of Ansel commission overcharger the
state says of the charges made by Gov
ernor Blease that they are wholly unsur-
supported by the testimony and there
fore withoift foundation in fact. Attor-
noy General Lyon and the members of
the Ansel commission, Dr. W. J. Murray,
chairman, J. S. -Brice, Avery Patton,
John McSween, A. H. Wood, are exoner
ated of all charges made against them.
The committee thinks that Thomas B.
Felder misled! them in his statements
about what Tys testimony would show
when the committee went to Augusta,
Ga., last summer to take his testimony.
They however went to Augusta as they
thought something would be gotten from
Felder and as he would not come to the
state because he feared arrest and possi
ble assissination. But his testimony es
tablished nothing in the report of the
committee.
The majority of the report is a repeti
tion of charges made by the governor
and* the refuting them section by sec

which is made a part of the report.
A message from the Governor contain

JUDGE LETS LIFE
TIME NEGRO GO
' HOME FOR VISIT
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga., Feb. 8.—An unusual
order was given in the superior court
today when Judge Walter G. Charlton,
of that tribunal, granted permission to
Jack O’Brien, a negro convicted of mur
der and sentenced to the penitentiary for
life to g-o to his home seven miles in the
country and settle his affairs before
departing probably forever.
O-Brien killed tV. M. Henry, another
negro, several months ago and was
convicted of murder with a recommen
dation to mercy. When he found he
was to be sent away for life 'O’Brien
asked permission to go to his home
guarded, that he could sell off his grow--
ing crops, his household effects and his
livestock. He is unmarried but has
been a provident negro and is in com
fortable circumstances. Judge Charlton
granted the order and Deputy Sheriff
Conner will carry him out to his home
for this purpose.
BETS PLACED ON ORDER
OF CABINET’S ARRIVAL
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—When Thom
as Brahany, chief clerk at the White
House executive office, reached his desk
today he found a slip bearing In Irregu
lar order the names of the members of
the cabinet. He was mystified, until on
investigation he discovered that the
slip was a record of a “cabinet day
gamble,” indulged in by the newspaper
correspondents who, on Tuesdays and
Fridays, it developed, make wagers
among themselves on the order in which
the cabinet members will arrive.
Mr. Brahany’s find indicated that the
cabinet members arrived yesterday in
the following order:
Wilson 1, Nagel 2, Wickersham 3,
MacVeagh 4, Hitchcock 5, Fisher 6,
Stimson 7 and Meyer 8. Secretary Knox
was missing.
The hour of meeting for the cabinet is
fixed at 11 o’clock on Tuesdays and
Fridays, but President Taft very sel
dom appears on time to open the con
ference with his official family. It is
generally twenty \ or thirty minutes
after the hour when he takes his place
at the head of the table in the confer
ence room. As a result, the hard-,
worked cabinet members take their time
in getting there and their arrival is ir
regular. This makes the betting all
the more interesting.

this city on February 12. The conven
tion has been caled for the purpose of
perfecting plans for the construction of
a highway from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coasts, far enough south to per
mit all the year-round travel.
It is planned to make it available for
motorists who are now unable to use
the roads situated farther north, dur
ing the winter months. It is said that a
committee will be appointed to ask
congress to make an appropriation of
$25,000,000 to aid in the work of con
structing the highway.

MISTRIAL RESULTS
IN WISNER CASE
NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—The govern
ment’s case against A. D. Wiener and
John J. Meyers, indicted for misuse
of the malls to promote oil and mining
properties, resulted today in no verdict.
The jury was discharged after vainly
trying for forty-six hours to agree.
Wisner and Meyers were accused of
defrauding investors all over the coun
try of more than $2,000,000. Their main
defense was that a partner, who wenl
to Europe, but later returned to become'
a government witness, got most of the
money.
