THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1913. 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. DR. MORGENSTEIN WILL LECTURE IN ATLANTA Dr. Julian Morgenstein, professor of Bible and Semitics at the Hebrew Union college, Cincinnati, and one of the coun try’s best known educators, will give a free course of five lectures in Atlanta • at the temple, corner of South Pryor and Richardson streets.

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. CONTAINS NO TOOACCO 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, ROBERT BALLARD. Mansfield, Pa.

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.” Stops Tobacco Habit In One Say Sanitarium Publishes Free Book Show ing How Tobacco Habit Can Be Banished in From One to Five Days at Home.

(Advt.) 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.

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.

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 existed for years in that cit yin connec tion with the work of the dispensary constables,” says the committee ap pointed At the last general assembly to investigate the charges made by Gover nor Blease against the Ansel winding up commission and former Attorney General Lyon, In their report filed with the sen- ate^this morning and ordered printed In the journal. The majority report is 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 tion from the testimony adduced all of which is made a part of the report. A message from the Governor contain ing a letter he had received from Gen eral Mills, one of the Marshalls of the parade at Washington for the inaugural, containing a statement that negro troops from the District of Columbit and from Maryland would be in the parade of the South Carolina troops was read and or dered printed in the journal. The gover nor will not* let the South Craolina mil itia attend becauseithey would be placed behind the negro troops in the parade. In the senate today a favorable report was made in tlje bill providing for med ical inspection in the schools and col leges, and on the Rittenberg bill allow ing high license to Charleston in reg ulating the liquor traffic provided the liquor is sold only in original packages. The senate adopted the house resolution requesting the officials of the Corn Ex position to keep the Corn show open for an additional week. Senator Nicholson’s bills regulating the admission of foreign life insurance companies in the state and providing for a lincense for same was continued until ’the next session on motion of the Edge- field senator. The warehouse bill was made a special order for Tuesday imme diately after third reading bills. Sen ator Patterson’s bill requiring male ap plicants for marriage license certificates to present certificates from some reputa ble physicians that they were free from any infectious or contagious diseases was continued until next session. 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.
