SAVANNAH CONVENTION
State Medical Association
Hears Interesting Papers
and Reports
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH. Ga.. April 18—The Geor
gia Medical association today began a
three days’ convention in Savannah
with a meeting attended by doctors
from all over the state. The associa
tion has not met here before in several
years, and there is much interest in the
gathering in consequence. The ses
sions will probably prove very interest
ing from the viewpoint of the profes
sional, but to the layman the titles of
th© papers to be read do not offer
much encouragement for a jolly time.
The program is a very varied one,
the doctors say, and it is certain to be
followed with much interest by the
members of the medical fraternity whd
are here.
The visitors were welcomed to the
city this mornnig by Mayor R. J. Da-
vant and soon after the public exer
cises wer© over they began to discuss
■ seases and ailments with long latin
names. They will be at it until Fri
day fternoon with occasional interrup
tions for pleasure.
Last night there was a banquet at
the D. P. and T. club that was at
tended by a large number of physi
cians who were drawn here to attend
the annual meeting of the health offi
cers of the cities and counties of the
state. There were many bright mo
ments at this banquet and no one
seemed to fear indigestion as the food
was prepared by the chef of the club
of which Dr. t)aniel, of Savar. .h, is
president.
Dr. W. W. Pilcher, the president, of
the state, society, presided at the meet
ing of that organization this morning,
and did it with a grace and charm that
marked him as an ideal presiding offi-
Furniture Freak
Draws Fire From
Six Hundred Women
(By Associated Press.)
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 15.—
About 600 angry Little Rock women
confronted Frank Schubert, who' says
he is from St. Louis, when he was ar
raigned in Justice of the Peace San
ders’ court yesterday, charged with
swindling in connection with “furni
ture clubs’’ he is alleged to have oper
ated in Little -Rock. He is accused of
having victimized 480 local women out
of about $6,000.
It is charged that Schubert organized
eight clubs of sixty members each.
Each was allowed to select an article
of furniture represented to be worth
$15.50. It is alleged Schubert’s plan
was that each woman should pay 25
cents a week. At the end of each week
a name should be drawn by lot. This
woman was to receive the article she
had selected for 25 cents, and so on
until the names were drawn.
Justice Sanders placed Schubert un
der $5,000 bond and gave him until
Saturday to make restitution. However,
the prosecutor announced he would
prosecute Schubert for exhibiting lot
tery tickets, even if he recompensed all
the women. This was the signal for
a loud outburst of handclapping. The
dignity of the proceedings was some
what interrupted when two local poli
ticians paraded through the court room
bearing a banner inscribed: “Votes for
women,” and the lititgants joined in a
suffrage demonstration.

HILL UNO ECKSTORM ARE
INDICTED IN II. S. COURT
SUFFRAGETTES FIRE
IF OF
Baltimore Young Men Are
Charged With Robbery of
Coast Line Train
SAVANNAH, Ga.. April 16.—A special
t the Savannah Press from Columbia
says:
In the United States court, eastern
district of South Carolina, indictments
1 ave been returned agal-nst George H.
Hill and Henry Eckstorm, the two
young men of Baltimore, who were ar
rested for the alleged robbery of the
Atlanta Coast Line train at Hardee-
ville, S. C., In December two years ago.
The indictment of the two men at
Florence, where the court was in ses
sion when the case was presented, is
the second time that an effort has been
made to prosecute them in connection
'"ith the daring robbery. Shortly aft-
the hold-up, Hill and Eckstorm were
a rested at Hardeevllle, where they had
been visiting, taken to Savannah, Ga.,
and held in jail there. The case was
dismissed when the young men were
b.ought up for a preliminary hearing.
Bench warrants have been issued for
the men at Florence. An effort is
now being made to effect their arrest.
It is stated that the authorities have
located them-
The action of the court at Florence
in returning the indictments opens an
other chapter in a case which stirred
that section of this state, where the
robbery occurred and the adjacent ter
ritory for several weeks. The robbery
was one of the boldest ever perpettated
in that section, and the acquittal of
Hil land Eckstorm left the identity of
the robbers still clouded in mystery.
Shortly after the acquittal of the
young men at the preliminary hearing
i-. Savannah, suit was filed by them
the United States court against L.
Meldrim, deputy sheriff of Chatham
county, who, it is alleged, caused their
arrest. The sum of $20,000 was asked
by the two young men for false arrest.
Two suits for $10,000 each were filed.
These cases are now pending in the
United States court.

HALF MILLION DAMAGES
NORTH GEORGIA PEACHES
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CHATTANOOA, Tenn., April 15.—The
peach crop in the Chattanooga district
is damaged to the extent of more than
$600,000. This was the statement given
out today by C. A. Lyerly, owner of the
huge orchards at Lyerly, Ga., who is
probably the best posted man on peach
growing in the north Georgia and Ten
nessee district.
He said that in his opinion the frost
and wet weather had caused the crop
to be damaged more than it has been for
many years. The late frosts which fol
lowed a warm spell are to blame for the
heavy loss that has been sustained by
the growers in this section.
In the Fort Valley section, in North
Georgia, there has been a heavy loss.
One of the growers in that section said
yesterday that he thought approximate
ly 70 to 75 per cent of the crop was de
stroyed. The apple crop in this section
and throughout Tennessee has been un
harmed by the frosts, and a record year
is expected.

Government Admits 275,000
Are Out While Socialists
Claim Over 400,000
'By Associated Press.)
BRUSSELS, Belgium, April 16.—A
statement issued by the ministry of the
interior this morning admits that 257,-
000 men have joined the national polit
ical strike of the Belgian workers who
have chosen this means of forcing the
grant of “manhood suffrage” and the
abolition of the system by which the
welathy citizens are given plural voting
power.
The Socialist leaders today claimed
that the total number of strikers is
over 400,000.
It is stated that the Belgian govern
ment finds itself with a very small sup
ply of coal to run the state railroads.
This supply is likely to be exhausted
by the end of the week, thus crippling
transport facilities. Lack of fuel will
also cause the stoppage of many elec
tric and gas plants and prevents many
thousands non-strikers from working.
JEmile Vandevelde, the Socialist lead
er, today completed an automobile tour
of the provinces of Hainaut and Namur.
He summed Up his observations as
follows:
All business is stagnated throughout
the industrial district. Of the 208,000
workmen in the two provinces, 163,000
are striking.”
From various parts of the country
reports show that in some places the
movement has been very successful
while in others, more especially dis
tricts under the control of the Catholic
unions, the men are luke-warm.
Violence has been exceptional since
the order to quit work was given on
Monday, only a few cases of destruc
tion of property or interference witn
non-strikers having occurred.

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 15.—Postmas
ter General Burleson announced today
that it was the, administration’s policy
to continue all Republican postmasters

against their efficiency. The policy
applies to all classes of postmasters.
“My department will be run on busi
ness lines and not by politics,” sair Mr.
Burleson, in explaining the new policy.
He declared that there might be some
removals, but he believed that the ma
jority of the postmasters were efficient
and would not be disturbed.
“There will have to be specific charges
of inefficiency, however,” he added, “be
fore any one will be removed.”
Mr. Burleson said the decision had
been reached after conference with Pres
ident Wilson, who favors the merit sys
tem.
At present a plan is being wbrked out
to secure sufficient efficiency, under the
civil service fourth-class postmasters

tion on an executive order by Mr. Taft.

Georgia’s Senators Are Said
to Be Laboring Linder an
Avalanche of Applications -
The following news item relative to
the deluge of applications for offices,
which are said to be pouring in upon
Senators Bacon and Smith, was publish
ed in the Savannah Morning News:
A man who stands close enough to one
of Georgia’s United States senators to
see and confer with him practically
every day in Washington, makes the
statement that there are on file with
Senators A. O. Bacon and Hoke Smith
at least 12,000 applications for appoint
ments under the federal government
from true and tried Georgia Demo
crats.
“They have been counted,” he said,
“and I know for a fact that there are
around 12,000 Georgians who have ap
plied for federal jobs.
“What is puzzling Senators Smith and
Bacon is where they are going to get
even twelve jobs to satisfy .this demand.
This would mean only one in a thou
sand, but if they get that many, they
will be doing well.
“Of course, there are many minor
positions under the federal government
with which not a few of this 12,000
Georgia applicants would be satisfied;
but it must be remembered that prac
tically all of these positions are un
der civil service, and are filled only
from the classified service list made
up from those who have stood the re
quired examinations.
“I don’t refer to the court and post-
office. appointments within the state.
There are, of course, many of these,
and while some of them will be dis
tributed by the two senators, the ma
jority • of them will naturally be the
patronage of the congressmen in whose
districts they are located.
“If Senators Smith and Bacon suc
ceed in getting a dozen appointments
of this sort outside of the civil serv
ice, allotted to them, they will do
better than most of the other sena
tors.”
According to the foregoing state
ment there are going to be some
thing like 11.988 dissatisfied federal of
fice seekers in Georgia. Some of the
politicians in Georgia are already bas
ing hopes of political preferment upon
this widespread dissatisfaction.

“I Had been taking: different medicines
fer the past five years, without anv

Friends advised me try Cardui, th*

I was relieved of my nervousness, and
bad headaches, and could sleep soundly
all night,—something I hadn't done for
years.
I also gained 18 pounds In weight after
taking Cardui, and am in better spirits,
and feel better, than I have felt for five
years.
I cannot Say enough in behalf of Car

discovered, and a GoJ-send to all suf
