WILSON REMOVES NEGRO EROM FLORIDA OEEIGE "The Voice Is the Voice of Jacob but the Hand Is the Hand of Esau’-FormerPres- t ident Guides Gov, Johnson BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, April 24.—“The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hand is the hand of Esau,” asserted the administra tion men as they realizze the cordially, non-committal telegrams received by President Wilson from Governor John son and the two houses of the legisla ture of California regarding the visit of Secretary Bryan to Sacramento. That is to say, they believe Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt is directing the governor California and the Progressive majority in the legislature in their negotiations with the federal administration in the proposed land legislation. That Colonel Roosevelt has taken a hand in the matter is correct. The news has direct confirmation of that from the best authority. The country, therefore, is to see a battle of wits between two distinguished leaders of the Democratic and Progressive parties. Each is direct ing his side of the peculiar contest from his proper place on the Atlantic coast, and action is deferred until Secretary Bryan reaches the capftal of California. Each big chief will be working through his ablest lieutenant. While president, Colonel Roosevelt came to understand the Japanese prob lem in the Pacific coast and Rocky mountain states. Moreover, he is thor oughly informed as to the attitude of the Japanese government, the temper of the Japanese people and the limitations of the treaty between the Japanese gov ernment and the United States. It is doubtless correct that he has informed Governor Johnson how far he can go in anti-alien land legislation without giving the Japanese ground for protest. And at the same time he has scored in a political sense by forcing the Democrats to assume an attitude, or apparently assume it, which is repug nant to the generally accepted demo cratic doctrine of states rights. Also he has compelled the Democrats in the California legislature to join the in- bad club, as far as the people of their state are concerned, and this has made a noise that has Reverberated clear across the continent and echoed in the White House. • The colonel appears to be having a good time, but the affair is not con cluded, and it sways to the immediate futute to reveal the victor in the duel of wits. If Governor Johnson and his legisla ture hold matters in abeyance until Secretary Bryan reaches Sacramento, and the secretary succeeds in getting the e^r of the' California public with a pop ular compromise, the result eventually may not be all to the good for the Pro gressives and all to the fritz for the Democrats. HOUSE MEETS HOUR EARLIER EOR TARIFF Discussion of Underwood Bill Is Under Way in Both House and Senate (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, April 24.—Tariff dis cussion was under way again today on both the senate and. house sides of the capitol. There were informal confer ences among senators and the house met an hour earlier than usual. The house Republicans conferred regarding their caucus tonight when they purposed to settle upon their policy as to the cot ton schedule. The caucus already has voted in favor of the wool schedule, prepared by Rep resentative Payne, but the cotton sched ule has been delayed through what Rep resentative Gardner, of Massachusetts, has explained as inability of the sub committee of the ways and means minori ty to agree. Representative Gardner expected to be ready with the plan tonight. Representative Peters, of Massachu setts, a member of the ways and means committee majority which framed the Democratic bill, was among the speak ers of the Democratic side, presenting an elaborate argument in defense of the committee measure. Leaders of all three parties have been confronted with a disposition of their colleagues to delay speeches until the latter part of the time allotted to general debate, which will expire Mon day night. Joe Lee at Last Loses Scalp. Lewis Made Revenue Col lector for Florida B’ RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON. April 24.—The head of another negro office holder in the south fell in the basket today when President Wilson sent to the senate the nomination of Hayes B. Lewis to be in ternal revenue collector for the state of Florida. I^ewis is a prominent Demo crat of Marianna, and succeeds Joe Lee, •a negro politician, who has been a big factor in Republican politics of the south for many years. G. O. P. CAUCUS. By unanimous vote, the Republican senate caucus today agreed there should be no general reprisal upon President Wilson for the Democratic holdup of the Taft nominations, during the last session of congress. But that Repub lican opposition would be shown in the following cases: In appointments to the consular ser vice or to minor departments, diplo matic posts such as secretaries of em bassies or legations, where the merit system resorted to by former Presi dents Roosevelt and Taft was not fol lowed. Where vacancies were created by re movals of office which carry a fixed tenure, unless made for cause, and particularly where removals are made from* offices which require technical or specail knowledge. A statement issued after the caucus declared that .removals from offices of indeterminate tenure, “should ge made only for cause.” OTHER NOMINATIONS. President Wilson 'today nominated these postmasters .among others: B. M. .Burgher, Dallas, Tex.; John D. Kilbourne. Pine teluff. Ark.; H. P. Brewer, Muskogee, Okla.; Norman H. Martin, Weatherford, Tex. Among the other nominations today were: Secretary of legation at Copen hagen, Alexander R. Magruder, of Maryland. Assistant attorney general. Samuel J. Graham, of Pittsburg, Pa.; United States judge fourth circuit, Charles J. Wood, of South Carolina. Commissioner of labor statistics, Charles P. Neill, Washington, D. C. Collector of internal revenue for Flor ida, Hayes H. Lewis; commissioner of fish and fisheries, Hugh M. Smith, of Washington. D. C. Auditor/or the navy department, Ed win Luckow, of Winsconsin. Auditor for state and other depart ments, Ed D. Hearne, Delaware. Political influences directing at the war department for promotion of army officers will react against the men in whose behalf it is brought if they have any part in it. Secretary Garrison, through the general staff, today issued, an odrer renewing former President Roosevelt’s prohibition of the practice and announced that in each case he would call upon the officer in question to explain hie part in it. The order will affect many influential government officials. IE LEAD ANOTHER TORNADO COMING By H. T.

April 24.—Miss Annie King, a young “woman aged twen ty-three, was run over by an automobile driven by J. L. Houston, in front of the Dilworth power station Wednesday afternoon, and died on the operating ta ble at a local hospital, where she was taken immediately after the accident. Her skull w.as fractured, arm broken mnA aha vui iniurad intarnallv. By Associated Press.) PITTSBURG, April 24.—With the com ing of dawn, fresh crews took the places of tired workers who had toiled unceas ingly throughout the night in an effort to penetrate the recesses of the Cincinnati mine of the Pittsburg Coal company at Finleyvilie, Pa., where an explosion of fire damp yesterday killed, it is estimat ed, 100 men and wrecked the mine. Eighteen bodies had been removed from the mine to a morgue this morn ing, and it was reported that about seventy-five bodies in all had been found. That the mine contains many more dead, even officers of the company ad mit, while leaders of the rescure parties and some of the men who escaped from the workings are of the opinion that the fatalities will number close to 100. However, it will be impossible to deter mine the exact extent of the catastrophe until the mines of main and cross entries have been explored. Many men working with feverish haste are building brattices to carry the fresh air through the gas filled galleries. Crews from the Pittsburg station of the United States bureau of mines were hurried to the mining town to recover the bodies of the dead and rescue such as might have survived the explosion and the dreaded "after damp.” Child’s Expression Of Horror at Trial Acquits His Mother MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 24.—Her lit tle son’s expression of horror and fear at the Sslght of the pistol with which she shot and killed her husband, was the prime factor in the acquittal late yesterday of Mrs. Ora. D. Cargill, on trial for the murder of Bailey Cargill a few months ago. Mrs. Cargill claimed she shot in self- defense and tnat her husband had oft en threatened herself and children with the pistol. One of the theories of the prosecution was that Cargill was mur dered while he was asleep. William, the six-year-old son of the couple, was not put on the stand, but when the pistol was displayed as evi dence his cry of horror, while not a portion of the written record of the case, did not pass unnoticed by the jury. A verdict of acquittal was returned within a half hour after the case was given to the jury. DICKENS’ LITTLE DORRIT DIES AT AGE OF 100 LONDON. April 24.—Mrs. Mary Ann Cooper, of Southgate, the original of Dickens’ “Little Dorrit,” died yesterday in her hundredth year. She and Dickens,were boy and girl to gether when they lived in the same jit raat in Somerstown. BY BALPK SMITH. WASHINGTON, April 24.—the good old county of Burke^ for many years the banner cotton county of Georgia, is gradually losing its place .accord ing to a bulletin Issued by the census bureau today, showing the number of bales of cotton ginned in every county in Georgia in the years 1910, 1911 and 1912. Laurens county heads the list, Sum ter is second and Burke a close third. Four years ago Burke ranked first, and until last year was firmly fixed in sec ond place. Local climatic conditions are believed to be in large part responsi ble for the face that Burke county slipped back a notch last year. The chances are that with her unrivaled soil she may win her proud place once more. Here are the figures for the three counties for the past three years: 1912 1911. 1910. Laurens 37,921 60.920 38,400 Sumter 34,453 48.207 26,827 Burke 34,282 57,086 38,948 The bulletin shows that last year— 1912—Georgia’s total crop amounted to 1,812,107 bales, counting round bales as half bales and excluding ltnters. The counties of the state are ar ranged alphabetically in the appended list, and the crop for the past three years is shown: County 1012 1011 1010 The State 1,812,107 2,704,2^5 1,812,178 Appling 5,668 0,178 5,373 Baker 6,080 1 0,303 6,470 Baldwin 11,175 16,322 10,843 Banka 0,122 15,204 11,300 Bartow ., .. .. 38,043 27.413 18,833 Ben Hill .. .. 8,177 12,555 7,351 Berrien 13,283 20,291 12,652 Bibb .J .. .. 0,357 17,161 11,076 Bleckley (1) .... 8,007 .... ....

Otherwise, Austria declares, she and her allies will take steps to protect her political interests. There are many indications here to day that the German government offi cials regard the European situation as critical. A high diplomatic official said today: “Europe has entered another crisis as grave as that which preceded the Aus- tro-Russian demobilization.” The press bureau of the German for eign office, contrary to its usual cus tom. was not prepared today with a statement either in regard to the ulti matum to Montenegro or to the general situation. An official, however, be lieved it probable that fbree would be employed to expel the Montenegrins from Scutari. The’ official view here is that all the European powers will work together until the problem has been solved. A feeling of consternation and "help lessness was displayed at yesterday’s conference of the ambassadors in Lon don. The imperial chancellor and the for eign minister visited the budget com mittee of the imperial parliament today in order to make a considerable com munication to its members in regard to the international situation. The abandonment of the trip by Em peror William of his proposed journey on the steamship Imperator, and his de termination to return to Berlin from Hamburg on April 28, are attributed in well informed quarters to the crisis brought about by the fall of Scutari. The stock market was demoralized today by the fears of grave political complications. BARTOW BEGINS WORK FOR COUNTY FAIR CARTERSVILLE, Ga., April 24.— Work on the fair grounds is proceeding rapidly and will be vigorously pushed to completion. A large force of labor is at work and the race track which is to be one Of the best and fastest in the state is beginning to look as if ev erything will be ready on time. The directors of the Fair association are the county’s best business men, and they have ample funds to make the Bartow County fair in October next the most extensive and important ever attempt ed in the state, and that’s what they say they propose to. do. A large and important list of prizes has already been offered, and the man agement proposes to bring here next fall some of the best race horses in the bus iness. Mr. George Stiles and H. E. F. Jones, two prominent race horse men, are going to see to it that the best racing meet ever held at a county fair in Georgia will be secured for this fair. WILSON CONFERS WITH SENATORS BEFORE OPEN DOOR AT CAPITOL President Makes Third Trip to Capitol Building and Hutts Conferences in President’s Room With the Door Stand ing Open-Holds One Conference in Auto on Way to Capitol 22.957 2.442 4.380 (2) 5.817 686 5.012 18,361 22,634 0,684 17,367 37.C86 5,603 7,161 1,112 6.032 25,074 *4,990 10,179 31.469 2*253 BY BALFH SMITH. WASHINGTON, April 24.—One hour in his office before an open efuor at the capitol this afternoon afforded Presi dent Wilson an oportunity to receive and confer with thirteen representatives and sixteen senators concerning the bus- iess of the public. Senators Bacon and Smith and three Georgia congressmen. Bell of the Ninth, Hughes of the Twelfth and Howard of the Fifth, were among those who saw Mr. Wilsun, the congressmen urged him to consider with favor the name of W. V. Turley of Chattanuoga, for public printer. The senators called simply to pay their re spects. Congressman Bell explained that th* interest of the Georgia congressmen in the appointment of Turley was due to the fact that he was a practical printer qualified in every essential for the du ties of the office and comes from the south. President Wilson.s visit to the capitol today—the third in his eight weeks of office—was a precedent-breaking trip so far as the capitol historian could say. Other presidents had gone to the cap itol to read their addresses or mes sages as President Wilson did on April 8, but there was no Record of any other jires.'dent going there to have time in talking about appointments. President Wilson arranged his visit so he would reach the president’s room in ample time for conferences before the senate convened at 2 o’clock. The talk, it was announced, was to be about ap pointments in which the president want ed to make the usual inquiries of court esy from the senators concerned. The president told friends that the arrangement of waiting for the sena tors to come to the White House involv ed a great loss of time, so he proposed to go to his room in the capitol, where he might confer with senators quickly. President Wilson had a long list of engagements for today but nevertheless planned to attend the Boston-Washing ton baseball game. Democratic National Chairman Mc Combs was the first caller, followed by Senator Newlands, chief among the senators opposing free wool. The British ambasasdor, James Bryce, the American minister to Co lombia, James Dubois, and .the Amer ican commission which will go abroad to study agricultural credit, were to see the president early «in the after noon. CONFERENCE IN AUTO The president closed up his morning engagements just before noon and start ed for*the capitol with Secretary Tu multy in one of the White House mo tors. Representative Jones, of Virgin ia, one of the leading advocates of Independence for the Philippines, had a short engagement with the president and so that he might arrive at the capitol promptly, Mr. Wilson invited M. Jones into the car to talk on the way. At the capitol the president went directly to his room and began his conferences with senators. Senator Gore was the president’s first caller. Senators Sheppard and Fletcher followed. Representatives Oldfield and Goodwin of Arkansas, Hughes, Howard and Bell of Georgia, and Sisson, Collier and Stev ens of Mississippi asked the president to appoint William L. Turley, of Chatta nooga, Tenn., as public printer. “What did the president say?” they were asked. “He listened very politely and smil ed,” said the spokesman. HOKE SMITH CALLS. The door to the president's room was left wide open and the small group which gathered in the corridor could see the president in conversation with those who came to call upon him. Senator Hoke Smith and Senator Shields conferred briefly. Senator La- Follette came for a short talk and had an earnest conversation with the pres ident. He said it concerned appoint ments only. Senator Tillman was the president’s last caller, and after having been at the capitol an hour to the minute and after having conferred with sixteen sen ators and thirteen representatives, the president rode back to the White House. He shook hands with several admirers as he passed out of the senate corridor. APPELUM CASE 10 DEFENSE ‘‘SUICIDE’’ Trial Resumed at 1:45 p, m. Tuesday - State Finished Evidence Early in oMrning Session of Trial STRINGER BREAKS DOWN AS HE GOES TO PRISON Confessed Thief of $5,000 Express Package Gets 18 Months (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) JESUP, Ga., April 24.—J. Dillard Stringer, the young messenger who con fessed on Saturday to the theft of $5,000 from the express company on Wednes day of last week, pleaded guilty in the superior court of Wayne county Wednes day. He was sentenced to the peniten tiary for eighteen months. Stringer, who came into court with his father, was much affected, as were others in the court room by his recital. His father accompanied him back to jail after his sentence and the boy broke down again at the door of the jail, where his parent left him. The case has been very speedily dis posed of. It was only one week ago that the money was stolen. DIES IN CELL; FOUND DRUNK ON STREET Mrs, Dougherty, of Macon, Found Dead Several Hours After Her Arrest (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., April 24—Mrs. Margaret Dougherty, arrested late Tuesday on the streets for drunkenness, was found dead in her cell Tuesday night just before midnight, when a call officer entered the barracks to attend to the wants of sev eral prisoners. From appearances, she had been dead several hours. A coroner’s jury investigated her death Wednesday morning and found that she died from acute alcoholism. Mrs. Dougherty was from Ireland and was without a living relative here. Since the death of her husband two years ago she became addicted to drink. She was frequently seen on the streets partly intoxicated. The body will be buried by friends here. With Indication that the trial will be continued without further intermission to Its conclusion, and that perhaps it will be some time Thursday evening or night before the case goes to the jury, the hearing of the murder charge against Mrs. Callie Scott Appelbaum, charged with the death of her supposed husband, Jerome A. Appelbaum, in the Dakota hotel in v Atlanta on February 25, was resumed at 1:45 o’clock Thurs day afternoon following a forty-five*» min- recess for lunch. During the day’s session that far, the state h a d finished its evidence and the defense had advanced considerably upon its own testimony. The state concluded twenty-five minutes after court convened Thursday morning* T.iat was unexpected. The state had attempted to show a motive—jealousy -•by introducing the letters which Ap pelbaum had received from other wom en and which the accused woman had in her possession; and had endeavored to establish that Appelbaum could not have killed himself, and that no one else than she could have killed him. The defense, on the other hand, had attempted to show that Appelbaum waa of the type of men from whom suicides come most frequently, and that he could have killed himself, and that very probably he did kill himself; and that Mrs. Appelbaum was under the influ ence of a narcotic, administered the pre vious evening by a physician, and that the influence held her in a sub-con scious state until hotel attendants threw cold water on her face to revive her when she fainted at the foot of the ho tel stairs, immediately after the trag edy. DEFENSE BEGINS EVIDENCE. E. F. Bond, undertaker who prepared Appelbaum’s body for burial, adminis trator of the dead man’s estate, W’as the first witness of the defense. He swore that he found powder burns around the wound in the arm also. As administrator, said he, he had not been able to find anything considerable that belonged to the dead man. He has had much opportunity to observe the effect of shot wounds upon people, said he. G. Cohen, tarveling salesman for the Celluloid Starch company, occupied the room immediately adjoining that of the Appelbaums in the hotel. Only a thin door intervened, he swore. His bed was 1 nearly against that door. He had left a call for 7 o’clock a. m., and was awake and had just commenced to dress when he heard a shot in the Appelbuums’ room. He obeyed his first impulse to, dive back into the bed and pull the covers over his head, said he. Then he thought better of it, and started to call the clerk by telephone. As he took down the earpiece, said he. he heard an other shot; then the sound of feet run ning past his door in the hall; then another shot, muffled. A few moments later he entered the room with the clerk. He described the position in which they found Appelbaum dying. As he detailed this, Mrs. Appelbaum cried, showing the first emotion that she manifested during the trial. THAT THIRD SHOT. Under cross examination by the state, Cohen admitted that at the coroner’s inquest he had not been certain that the third sound he heard was a shot; but later he pondered the matter, said he; and his present conclusion is that it was certainly a shot. Solicitor Dor sey spent some time endeavoring to make the witness admit he was badly frightened and was very much excited. Cohen declared he vfas excited when he heard the first shot, but that then he calmed down. Harry Silverman, whose delicatessen store and restaurant are on the ground floor of .the Dakota hotel, swore that he heard three shots. There was an Interval of five seconds between the first and second shots, said 1 he. The third followed immediately after the second. Simultaneously with the third shot he heard some one run past his room. He heard that person bump against the wall of his room. It seemed as if his room was near the stairway, inasmuch as he had sworn already that it was on the floor below the Appelbaums room. The person ran with a light tread, said he. This detail corroborated Cohen’s description. Mr. Silverman could not swear that Appelbaum was left-handed but he did remember, he said, that Appelbaum once lifted a plats with his left hand. He knew the couple,! said the witness. They had been cus tomers in his shop. DR. LIEBMAN TESTIFIES. Dr. J. S. Liebman, called by the de- . fense, said he had a subpena from the j state. He had known Appelbaum for about three weeks prior to the targedy, he swore. Appelbaum had described himself as a French Jew by birth. The physician described Appelbaum as being about five feet eight inches high, of slight build, with a narrow chest. Dr. Liebman testified that he found powder marks around the wound in Ap pelbaum’s chest. He found other marks near the wound on the arm. said he. Appelbaum could have inflicted both wounds, swore the physician. Dr. Liebman broached the theory of the defense that Mrs. Appelbaum waa subconscious from the effect of a drug, at the time of the tragedy. At 4:30 o’clock on the afternoon before the tragedy, said the physician, he attended Mrs. Appelbaum. She was very nerv ous. Dr. Liebman’s testimony was inter rupted to allow Dr. E. H Waggoner to go upon the stand, Dr. Waggoner re porting that he had a hurry call. But Solicitor Dorsey objected, and Dr. Wag goner was excused, to testify later.
