I I t THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1913. I ] I I | ■ The Half-God BY ALBERT DORRIHOTOIf. (Continuation of Chapter X.) There was nothing: to be dons except notify the police. Turning in the door way he cast a glance in the German’s direction. The two whispered for sev eral minutes in the passage, leaving Bernice staring dully at Engleheart’s quiet figure on the bed. She heard the doctor’s footsteps pass to the street door, and then the sound of the outer gate as he departed. Scholfer thrust his hot face inside the room and made a gesture. “Dees is a serious business for me, madame. 1 must ask you to stay ontil de bolice haf satisfied themselves about you you see it des very nasty!” He. stood in the doorway, breathing hard as one who discerned his own un enviable position. The affair might ruin him. He had other lodgers in the house. They would go the moment they learn ed of Engleheart’s mysterious death. One could not explain the effects of radium poisoning to them. The papers would be full of the affair. Crowds of people would gather round the house. It was a melancholy business—for him. He closed the door softly and retired to the adjoining room to rwait the com ing of the police. Bernice sat very still as one pressed between two iron walls of circumstance. Yet through her hope less Cogitations she still saw the scarlet, wheel-lUce rays emanating from the coat where the doctor had let it fall. If she wished to gain even temporary possession of the speck of super-radium she must move promptly and without scruples. Fabian must have a chance! With a hurried good night to the ob sequious Baxter, she returned to the house at the moment Coombes, the city solicitor, was adjusting his hat and gloves before the hall mirror. He shook hands cordially with Bernice, af fecting as he did so The paternal atti tude of his sixty years. Drawing her into a near ante-room he lowered his voice to a professional whisper. “I may say, in strict confidence, Mrs. Kromer, that—er we have just drawn up a very satisfactory document. Our very dear friend, Fabian, has vast in terests in England and America, as you may be aware,” he went 'on placidly. “Mr. Kromer is anxious that you should participate largely of his fortune; the amount mentioned in the will exceeds a clear half million pounds, ^ together with Holmwood and the adjoining es tates. I think, Mrs. Kromer, you will agree that this is a very munificent be quest?’’ Bernice scarcely heard his confiden tial utterances, the import of which suggested Fabian’s demise. She was not angry or sorry that Coombes had statement somewhat premature. His statemetn somewhat premature. His bland face and white whiskers seemed to fade in. a cloud of congratulatory murmurs in which she detected the firm of Coombes & Coombes pleading for further extension of her patronage, etc., etc. Author of THE RADIUM TERRORS.” “CHILDREN OF THE CLOVEN HOOF,” Etc. CALIFORNIA SPLIT OVER ANTI-ALIEN LEGISLATION Then a sudden wave of anger and hu miliation swept over her. It was as though recent events had shaken her self-control. The loss of Imry, together with Engleheart’s insane conduct, had destroyed her confidence in things hu man and spiritual. “You must not leave here until you have heard me!” she burst out. “I can not bear the strain a moment long er. I must tell some one!” I The old lawyer took her hand and patted it very gently. “My dear Mrs. Kromer, we must compose ourselves. You know that Fabian has long been given over by his medical advisers. We must, as Christian people, accept the in evitable.” She drew away with a stifled sob. “I have no right in this house. Mr. Coombs. An houi* ago I met my first husband, Maurice Engleheart, near the lodge, a man whom I thought dead five years ago!” “Stop! stop! My dear madame, you— you are' really not yourself to-night! Pray be calm! Tomorrow we may dis cuss the matter further.” A cold, bleak expression had come Into his shining face; the professional bonhomie of a moment before gave place to a frigid aloofness. He reached for his hat and gloves like one in haste to be gone. Bernice was first to the door, where she stayed, straight limbed and resolute, to bar his going. “You will listen very patiently to my story. Mr. Coombes. Now that I have begun you shall hear everything.” “I implore you, Mrs. Kromer, to post pone your confession in view of Fabi an’s delicate condition!” “There is no need to disturb Fabian. The question I must ask you now Is whether I have a .moral right to ac cept Fabian’s gifts,” Bernice insisted, “since he knows nothing of Maurice Engleheart’s return to life.” “Where is Engleheart?” came from fjrm tight-tipped lawyer. “Has he been iktfe to—to blackmail?” “He wanted money; I gave It!” Here- at Bernice recited the story of her un happy marriage with Maurice Engle heart, together with the history of the ill-fated Manhatttan which had foun dered with all hands in the Sea of For mosa. Of Engleheart’s duplicity and cowardice in leaving the vessel in the hands of a second officer while he made good his escape was told with clearness and precision. Bernice did not omit to mention the series of events which led to her marriage with Fabian Kromer, her meeting with Dr. Hammeraho and Imry, as well as -the loss of the Zeu tube. Mr. Coombes listened in spellbound wonderment until the conclusion. The sharp lines on his face contrasted acute ly with the smiling wrinkles of a mo ment before. “You have made a very damaging ad mission, Mrs Kromer. It is incredible, amazing, that Engleheart should have kept silent so long! If what $ou say is true concerning the Japanese doctor,” he continued under his breath, “1 may state frankly that you have mixed yourself unwittingly with a gang of criminal experts. That laboratory case, for instance!” His hands went up and out in a gesture of despair. Bernice breathed sharply, but made no answer. The old solicitor exhibited signs of mental distress as he paced the ante-room. “No good will be served if Fabian is advised of these things. We cannot strike a dying man! Tomorrow I will talk the matter over with you. Second thoughts are best. Mrs. Kro- rr.er.” •She did not bar his going. A sense of unutterable relief had come now that her secret was out. Another mind cculd judge her actions. In the hall the old solicitor paused, beckoning her softly. “If Fabian were in normal health I should be constrained to advise him of your confession, Mrs. Kromer. Let mo beg you. therefore, to withhold your story from Fabian. Stabbing a dying man is senseless brutality!” She heard his footsteps on the gravel walk outside and then the low* throb of his automobile as it sped from the grounds. Bernice was startled at breakfast by the entry of Dr. Rochwarne, the Swiss specialist. He had driven out from the city to see Fabian for the last time. Business at the Interlaken institute compelled his speedy return, ’he explain ed, and, as there could be no possible change in the patient’s condition, his prolonged stay in England would be a mere waste of time. Dr. Rochwarne was a tall, sharp-vis- aged man with projecting tyrows and studious movements. His fame as a surgeon had survived a generation of younger men. To him the science of radlumtherapy appeared inherent. A physician to roj’alty. he commanded un heard of fees; but it had been said that his gifts to science and his generosity to his struggling fellow-professionals, had left him almost a bankrupt. Bernicle studied him keenly as he entered her reception room, for she had decided to make a desperate appeal to his courage and faith. “A man entered my grounds last night,” she began, scarce daring to pause lest her courage might fail, “who held in his pocket the Zeu for which Prof. Caleret gave his life!” The specialist halted midway across the room, his hand extended. Her words took him with almost savage sudden ness; his lips pursed, while a look of appreciation crept into her eyes. “That man was my poor friend Cale- ret’s assassin!” he declared with a marked accent in his tones. “How did he show you the Zeu, Madame Kromer?” “It was in his tobacco pouch. I begged him to leave it in my care, Dr. Rochwarne. I thought it might have assisted you in”— She paused, because the surgeon’s cold gray eyes seemed to warn her not to proceed. His steely eyes seemed to burn be neath * r the great brows. He turned sharply half way across the room like a duellist about to confront his man. “You ask me to implicate myself in this very strange affair. Mme. Kromer. Why-—why.” he insisted, “do you ob ject to police intervention?” “Because I can only see my husband’s life trembling in the balance. I do not wish to shield any one, not even myself. All I ask is that you operate on Fabian the moment I place the Zeu in your hands. Will you?” “You must not presume to specify anything, Mme. Kromer,” he objected. “It ees so very awkward.” Bernice was at her wits’ end. She would not allow Rochwarne to set aside matters of life and death out of sheer professional pique. She must put her question more direct. “The man who has the Zeu was not responsible ' for Prof. Caleret’s death, Dr. Rochwarne. He came into its possession almost by accident.” “Thes why does he not offer it to the police, Mme. Kromer?” “Because I want you to operate on Tailoring Salesmen WANTED We want live, energetic hustlers, men who can make good; who are ambitious to start y! in abusines8 of their own.

Write for express terms House and Senate Race to Get Different Bill Through Ahead of Each Other (By Associated Press.) SACRAMENTO, Cal., Apri 1 15.—A sharp conflict between the two houses of the legislature over the proper word ing of the proposed anti-alien land law is in prospect as a result of the pro test raised in Japan against the meas ure during the past ten days. The senate bill, several times amend ed and now awaiting final passage in the upper house, was drawn with the objec tions of the Japanese government f in mind and is admittedly less drastic than the measure proposed in the assembly. It guarantees full treaty rights to ev ery alien, and classes all foreigners alike. The assembly bill, which likewise has reached the third reading, is more di rectly aimed at the Japanese. It was drawn up and recommended nearly two weeks ago before the agitation in Tokio reached its present stage, and makes no mention of treaty rights or obligations. By its terms an alien may hold title to real property for one year, whereupon the property shall escheut to the state. The senate, bill provides that at the ex piration o fthe year the property only becomes “subject to escheat’,’ which gives a longer period for the alien to qualify for ownership or to dispose of his holdings advantageously. The particular clause in the assembly bill, however, that is known to be ob jectionable to Japan is the section relat ing to corporations, which was designed to protect European syndicates while prohibiting Japanese corporations. It reads as follows: “Section 8. Every corporation, the ma jority of the issued capital stock of which is owned by aliens who are in eligible to become citizens of the United States under tthe naturalization laws thereof, shall be considered an alien within the meaning of this act.” Japanese are regarded as ineligible to become citizens. The senate bill, instead of barring such “ineligible3” draws the line upon “aliens who have not declared their intentions to become citizens” and prohibits even Europeans, unless they make such declarations. “We have drawn our bill with a view to preserving existing treaty rights of all foreigners” said Senator Thompson, author of the second bill last ni&ht, “and it affects them all alike. That seems to be the only way to check the Japanese without offending the government at Tokio. “The senate bill contains more elabor ate provisions than the assembly meas ure and undoubtedly will receive the ap proval of the upper house-. If the as sembly passes its bill, both will go to a free conference committee in which case I look for the senate bill to take precedence.” Strong influence is being brought upon Senator Thompson and his colleagues on the judiciary committee to offer an amendment to exempt properties that might come into the possession of the European syndicate who hold mortgages or deeds of trust in California. my husband! I feel that ... it is in my power to get this grain of Zeu today. No . . . will you promise to give Fabian a chance for his life?” Her lips were tight set as she watched the surgeon’s immovable fea tures. Something in her luminous eyes re vealed the faith of her womanhood. Then he remembered the old days at the institute. His tight clenched hands relaxed suddenly. “I shall ask no more questions, Mme. Kromer,” he re- ( sponded. “Tomorrow” you may expect me at this hour.” He paused in the doorway and looked back. “I shall re quire two nurses. Your husband shall have the chance you desire.” “You think that he will—?” “I cannot say, madame. Such ques tions are too premature. Good morn ing!” He was gone before she could speak, but in the silence of the great reception room she heard the loud beating of Fate’s wings. On her next venture everything de pended. One mistake added to her re cent indiscretions would bring irrepar able calamity. There must be no more failures. She drove from the house in her De Dion. About half a mile from the German boarding house -where Captain Engleheart had taken refuge she de scended from the car and spoke a few words to the chauffeur. If she did not appear within an hour he was instructed to return to Holmwood without her. A sharp walk through Chiltonhurst brought her to the German boarding house indicated by the lodgekeeper. Without glancing to right or left she opened the iron house gate and rang the bell. The squat servant, whom Baxter had mentioned, opened the door. Bernice nodded reasurringJ.y. “Mr. Engleheart is staying here,” she informed the round-eyed domestic. “I would like to see him.” Bernice used each moment now as though her life depended on the flying minutes. Pushing past the slow-minded girl, she stood in the passage, smiling affably, yet in her heart burned a sav age desire to be at grips with her destiny. The girl gaped in astonishment. “Herr Scholfers ees nod at home,” she de clared, “und I tink der gentlemans you mention was ashleep.” Bernice beamed upon her. “It really does not matter, my child. I will wait in one of these rooms until Mr. Engle heart awakes. There is no hurry.” Bernice’s reposeful manner, together with her fashionable attire and address, swept aside any lingering scruples that may have existed in the servant's mind. “I tink der new lodger vas a long time ashleep. madame. I haf instruc tions, from Herr Scholfer. nod to dis turb him whatever. He ees in dot room!” She indicated a door to the left as she led her visitor to an unoccupied room almost opposite. An air of stuffi ness, combined with a smell of brandy and stale cigar smoke, pervaded the house. The passage was dark and hung with old coats and waterproofs. Leaving Bernice staring at the shut room occupied by Captain Engleheart, the servant withdrew. The onjy sound that reached her was the clatter of a broom upstairs, where the servant con tinued her desultory efforts to brighten the dingy apartments overhead. Bernice listened and waited until the broom and pail passed into the back regions, then swiftly, noiselessly she stole across the passage to Engleheart’s door. It was unlocked! Inside she paused at the sudden darkness until her vision adjusted itself to the murky atmosphere. Dimly she made out Engleheart’s unmistakable figure sprawling on a narrow bed. Be side him, on a table, was a long-stem med pipe resting against a smouldering opium lamp. His breathing was scare# audible as she leaned over whispering his name gently. (Continued in Next Issue.)

PHOT'S FOES «■« BOTTLE III CUPS ™ Ntl» l Opposition to Administration’s Free Raw Wool Program Make Fight Among Demo crats for 15 Per Cent Duty - b WASHINGTON? April 16.—“Fifteen per cent ad valoren duty on raw wool.” was the slogan of the opposition organ ization to the administration free wool bill when the Democratic caucus today resumed consideration of the new tar iff bill. With southern and New England Dem ocrats still fighting the cotton rates proposed in the new measure the anti free wool members were planning their attack on Schedule K which the caucus expected to reach before the close of the day. At an early ^morning conference of Democrats from Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and many of the western states it was determined to stand by their decision to fight for a 15 per cent duty which they claipi was the original judg ment of the ways and means commit tee before consultation with President Wilson. Representative Ashbrook, of Ohio, who has presided over the anti-wool forces, prepared to lead the fight on the caucus ’^loor. Though the opposi tion claims To have the sympathy ol’ more than fifty Democratic members, the administration leaders insist that they cannot muster that many votes on an amendment to change the bill as pre sented to the caucus. UNDERWOOD’S CONFIDENCE. Chairman Underwood, after an early conference with President Wilson, ex pressed confidence that the tariff bill would, be approved by the house caucus without important amendment within the next three or four days. Mr. Underwood declared that while the Democratic majority was sufficiently strong to put the measure through the house within a short time, the Demo crats would permit the minority to be fully heard. “Of course there will be many amend ments from our Republican friends,” he said, “but the bill will pass the house just as it is approved by the caucus, and with only a few minor changes. You can’t. • write a tariff bill of 4,000 items without forgetting to cross a ‘t’ and dot an T here and there. Inequalities always creep in, and these have to be adjusted.” Mr. Underwood said he had merely ex plained some details to the president to day and informed him of the ‘progress of the JDemocratic caucus. Representative Hull, of Tennessee, au thor of the- income tax law, declared today that complaints of life insurance companies against the provisions or the law as affecting them, were ground less. One contention o'f the companies is that dividends which would be taxed under the law, declared by mutual and participating companies, are not divi dends in the commercial sense of the word but are simply refunds of a por tion of an overcharge collected with the annual premium held in trust and at stated periods returned to the policy holder. The ways and means committee con tends an exhaustive investigation of books of insurance companies shows that in many cases the earnings of Companies from previous investments and holds are nearly as large as the amounts which are annually distrib uted as dividends and that it does not appear that a separation of sources of income is made for the purpose of as certaining the funds available for div idends. The committee holds that a policy holder is not promised a refund but a participating in the surplus of prof its, and the plea that the dividend is a refund of a portion of the premium, rather than a distribution of the actual surplus of the company derived from all sources, is not consistent. Upon that iasis, -it is .held the insurance compa nies are in a position to declare divi dends which will conform to the com mercial definition of dividends. Chairman Underwood declared today that no protests against provision of the tariff bill from foreign govern ments had yet been forwarded to the committee. He has heard indirectly that such portests had been filed with the state department. When the caucus resumed considera tion of the bill, Chairman Underwood, whose physical condition evidently was much improved, took charge and work was begun on the cotton schedule. Sev eral attempts to alter the proposed re ductions of duty on collars and cuffs were defeated. “I wish there were some way of vo ting at steam laundries through thy iff,” said Speaker Clark. “They can ^fain a perfectly good collar with the greatest ease. There may be some combination between them and the collar manufac turers.” An amendment to place cotton stock ings on the free list and another to re duce the proposed rate of 40 and 50 per cent ad valorem were voted down. An amendment to increase the duty on cot ton gloves also was lost. Tumulty Casts Vote For a Commission for Jersey City, N. J. BY RALPH SMITH. WAHSINGTON, April 17.—So deeply interested is President Wilson in the fight for a commission form of govern ment in Jersey City that he encouraged Secretary Tumulty to return to Jersey City this evening to vote for commis sion government. Tumulty left Washington at noon. He will cast his vote in Jersey City at 5 o’clock and return to Washington to night. The commission form of government for Jersey City was submitted to the voters under the Walsh act, which Pres ident Wilson forced through the New Jersey legislature. -While Tumulty is in Jersey he will probably make ar rangements for the president's visit to Jersey two weeks hence, when he will take the stump in the interest of his jury refofm bill. WHEAT IS SEIZED BY U. S. OFFICERS TAMPA, Fla.. April 17.—United States authorities seized here this morning 500 baks of wheat that had been shipped to a local brokerage firm by F. M. Frisch and company, of Bal timore. The seizure was made at the instance of Government Pure Food In spector McManus, of Savannah, who had examined the sacks while en route to this city. It is claimed by the government that while the sacks are labeled ‘TOO pounds of wheat,” the sacks contain 48.4 per cent of rye and .3 per cent trash and weed seed. The sacks had been dis tributed among three concerns before the seizure was made by the United States marshal here. AMBASSADOR PAGE TO ADDRESS CONFERENCE Conference for Education Gets Under Full Swing in Rich mond, Virginia (By Associated Press.) RICHMOND, Va., April 16.—Adjunct bodies of tne conference for education have been meeting here since Monday but the formal opening session of the conference was begun this morning with the farmers’ conference, business men’s conference, the conference of Virginia preachers, the interestate con-, ference of school superintendents and the league of sotuhern women writers. Tonight Walter H. Page, ambassador to Great Britain and vice president of the organization, will preside in place of President Ogden who is 111 in New York. Governor Mann and Mayor Ainsley •will welcome the convention and the new ambassador will respond and read the animal address. After this meeting Governor and Mrs. Mann will receive the deleagtes at the executive man sion. Jones County Couple Will Be Tried for Murder of James King (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON - , Ga., April 15.—It is more than likely that Mrs. Kate King and J Nick Wilburn, accused of the murder I of James King, of Jones county, will go to trial in the Jones county superior court next Monday morning. Attorney j W. D. McNeil, who is to represent Mrs, King, states that he will be ready for trial next Monday and Attorney John It. Cooper, who is to represent Wilburn is also of the opinion that he will be ready to proceed. Whether the two defendants will be tried together is not yet known, although it is believed that their attorneys will demand separate trials. Wilburn is still in the Bibb county jail. He has expressed his fear of being carried back to Grays for trial without military protection, but it is net likely that any grave trouble will be created. He claims that threats of taking his life if he ever returns to Jones county have been heard indirectly while Sheriff 'Roberts, of Jones, says that he antici pates no trouble whatever. Within the past week, Wilburn has changed in his demeanor greatly, according to his fel- low-prisoners, and seems to have a painful dread of going to trial.

WATERMELONS AND OATS ARE HURT BY WINDS Corn Is Also Given Backset and Farmers Are Despondent (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) QUITMAN, Ga.. April 16.—The high winds from the north which struck Quit- man and Brooks county last Saturday, still continue with unabated withering blast and Tuesday at noon had reached its greatest velocity up to the present, and although the sun is shining today there is nothing to indicate the resump tion of spring weather. Farmers from various sections of the county who have deserted their plows and come into town to see what it all ! means are full of anxiety over the situa tion. They bring reports indicating the total loss of the oat crop, which will run far into the thousands of dollars. Brooks county annually ships away more than two hundred cars of oats in addition to using much more than this for home consumption. The loss will be very heavy this year, because of an increased acreage. It is believed thousands of dollars will be lost in the blight of the watermelon crop from the cold wind of the present week. The plants were in their tenderest state and the cold came at the most critical time for them. The leaves, which were two or three inches high, has been beaten into frag ments against the ground, and in many fields the total crop is already beyond rescue, even though the wind should cease at once and the weather returns to warm sunshine and favorable condi tions. Cotton and corn will be greatly de layed and the farmers seriously injured. The cotton plants are turning white un der the blight of the wind and many fields has been withered. The corn will not suffer any damage further than a backset of ten days or two weeks. The fruit, to which little attention is given, is a marketable value in this county has not suffered any appreciable harm. The pecan industry has not been injured in the slightest yet, since it is regarded as one of the hardiest and most certain crops of the section.

EX-CONVICT CAN’T VOTE BUT MUST PAY TAXES Prison Board Secretary Makes it Plain to Inquirer From Jones County Because a man has served a term in state’s prison does not, undqr the Georgia law, entitle him to exemption from taxation or other obligations of ci-izenship. Such a person is not, by any means, entitled to the immunities enjoyed by Confederate veterans and others whom the state seeks to reward. These facts are made plain in a It* ter written Tuesday morning by Secre tary Goodloe Yancey, of the state prison commission, to Frank Smith, of Haddocks, Ga., a former convict, who is evidently laboring under the idea that he should not be required to pay taxes or do road duty. Smith’s letter to the prison commis sion follows: “Gentlemen:—I am living in Jones county, Ga. I was sentenced from Co lumbus, Ga., on the charge of larceny. I have already served out my sentence of three years. “I desire to know whether I am com pelled to pay taxes. If so, please let me know so I can get my money back. - understand that in the rule book ot the state it is provided that a man sen tenced is exempted from all public du ties. “FRANK SMITH, “Haddocks, Ga.” Secretary Yancey replied as follows; “Atlanta, Ga., April 15, 1913. “Frank Smith, Haddocks, Ga.— “I have yours of the 13th Inst. Yes, you have to pay taxes and do road du ty. There Is no law that exempts an ex-convict from any obligation to the state He is on the same foooting with any self-respecting, law-abiding citizen.
