Mrs. Harry *H. Oates, the young wom
an who on Saturday morning deserted
her husoand and two-year-old baby girl
to ^lope with Quintus Lelolons, a French
decorator-designer, was located Wednes
day morning at Marietta, where, it is
said, the couple had been living under
assumed names at a boarding house.
Early Wednesday morning W. A. Bish
op, of Marietta, read the description #f
the couple as contained in a notice sent
out by Police Chief Beavers, and ac
cording to a telephone message from
Bishop to W. T. Morris, secretary to
Chief Beavers, Mrs. Oates, when con
fronted with the police notice, broke
down and confessed that she was the
woman wanted. She also told Bishop,
he says, that she would rather die than
come back to Atlanta.
Secretary Morris immediately notified
Mr. Oates that his wife was in Marietta,
and the latter left for that city to bring
her back. Delolons, according to Bishop,
left Marietta Tuesday, saying that he
was coming to Atlanta. He has not been
heard from since. He went away with
out paying his board bill.
Oates and his wife reached Atlanta
‘Tom Marietta at noon, both apparent
ly reconciled. Oates said that he was
convinced there was no other man in
the case. He and she had had a mis
understanding Friday, he said, and she’
left to go to the home of her brother
in Chicago. She was waiting in Mari
etta tft Hear frofcn '-her brother, he
said.
Oates declared that his wife was pre
paring to telegraph him to come after
her when he reached Marietta.
“Everything is all right now,” he
said. “I don’t know who LaTour or
Delonons either is. She has never
spent a moment with either. She is ag-
solutely innocent.”
The Oates couple and their baby girl
have been living at the Peachtree Inn
for several months. Mr. Oates is a trav
elling man, and is a son of T. Harris
Oates, a prominent citizen of Augusta.
The couple were married in Birmingham
three years ago. when Mrs. Oates was
but eighteen years of age.
SHE LEFT A NOTE.
Mrs. Oates left the Peachtree Inn Sat
urday morning about 11:30 o’clock, say
ing she was going uptown to shop. She
handed to the hotel clerk a note for her
husband. The first paragraph of this
note—all that Mr. Oates will make public
—reads as follows:
“Dear Harry: I am sorry, but I am
going to Chicago to sing in a theater
there. ‘He’ has paid my railroad fare
and one week’s board.”
Beyond this brief note, nothing was
heard of Mrs. Oates until Wednesday
morning, when she was located in the
Marietta boarding house.
Mrs. Oates’ disappearance did not be
come public until Tuesday afternoon
when her husband, with the object of
locating her. inserted two advertise
ments in The Journal and caused Chief
Beavers to send out an alarm notice to
cities all over the country.
The Working Mans Friend
In Time of Sickness
I am a blacksmith by trade and would
like to say a word to all who have to
work hard and suffer with their kid
neys. I suffered for about ten years and
was treated by a Waynesboro, Va.,
Doctor. He said that I had Bright’s
Disease and that he had done all he
could-for me. I read about Dr. Kil
mer’s Swamp-Root and as I could hardly
do a .day’s work, was willing to try any
thing that would do me any good. After
taking Swamp-Root a few days ! felt
so much better that I continued until I
felt that I was cured and I was alto
gether a new man. That was elgnt
years ago and if I ever feel the least
pain about my kidneys I just take a few
doses of Swamp-Root and in a few days
I am all right. 1 feel today that I am a
well man and would say to all who suf
fer with their kidneys, take Dr. Kil
mer’s Swamp-Root, for it has done more
for me than all the doctors, and sav«»d
doctors’ bills.
I can further say that about two
years ago my son was sick in bed and
was taking medicine from doctors and
got worse all the time. I went in the
night and got a fifty-cent bottle of
Swamp-Root and told him to lay aside
all the doctors’ medicines and take
Swamp-Root. He took six bottles and I
am glad to say that he is well today and
has not had any trouble with his kid
neys since. It was Swamp-Root that
cured him. My son now thinks that
there is no medicine ^that a doctor can
give that can compare with Dr. Kil
mer’s Swamp-Root.
Very truly yours,
G. W. HARDING.

(B7 Associated Press.)
ST. PAUL. Minn., April 24.—Sugges
tions concerning the dissolution of the
Union Pacific-Southern Pacific railroad
merger, with regard to the plan infor
mally presented by Robert S. Lovett,
representing the Union Pacific, were
made by United States Circuit Judges
Walter H. Sanborn. William C. Hook
and Walter I. Smith to Mr. Lovett last
night and made public today. The state
ment says:
“Circuit Court Judges Sanborn, Hook
and Smith, are not concerning them
selves regarding the sale of Central Pa
cific stock as this phase of the situation
was not mentioned in tentative plan, but
are confining their intention to the dis
position of the $126,550,000 of Southern
Pacific stock which is now’ unlawfully
held by the Union Pacific railroad com
pany.
“In this connection, the following sug
gestions have been submitted by the
judges to counsel for the Union Pacific
and also to District Attorney Houpt, of
St. Paul, representing the government
for Attorney General McReynolds as a
guidance in future dissolution proceed
ings:
“1. Any plan of disposing of tfie
$126,650,000 of Southern Pacific stock
owned by the Union Pacific company
should have regard to the amount of
Southern Pacific stock already owned
by Union Pacific stockholders, so that
the present holdings of these stockhold
ers as a body shall not, by the affirma
tive action of this court, be increased to
the point of practical control of the com
peting company.
“2. In the memorandum of March 1,
1913, submitted by counsel for the Un
ion Pacific company to a very large ex
tent the 25,000 individual stockholders
of the Union Pacific are also included
among the 15,000 stockholders of the
Southern Pacific company.
“3. It was intimated at a time when
it W’as supposed that the Union Pacific
stockholders did not hold more than
$50,000,000 of the stock of the South
ern Pacific company, that not more than
$40,000,000 of the Southern Pacific stock
should be transferred to Union Pacific
stockholders. It now appears that the
stock books of the two companies of
February, 1913, show that 4,440 Union
Pacific stockholders also own $92,162,500
of Southern Pacific stock, exclusive of
the $126,650,000 of stock involved in this
suit. Among these 4,440 stockholders
are brokerage concerns, whose princi
pals are undisclosed, but if they were
excluded, the fact would sClll remain
that individual Union Pacific stockhold
ers own a very large amount of South
ern Pacific stock.
“In view of these facts, it seems that
the disposition of as much, as $40,000,-
000 of Southern Pacific with voting
power to the stockholders of the Union
Pacific company might give practical
control of that company to Union Pacific
stokholdera, and the question of what
amount, if any, of the Southern Pacific
may be safely transferred to them, is
suggested for an argument and consid
eration.”

WASHINGTON, April 24.—President
Wilson and his youngest daughter,
Elenore, were being congratulated to
day on a narrow’ escape from accident
while automobiling last night. Just as
the president's automobile turned a cor

passed the sundry civil appropriation
bill with privilege to prevent the use
of funds appropriated to carry out the
anti-trust law for the prosecution of

ESCAPING CONVICTS
FIGHT WITH OFFICERS
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ROME, Ga,, April 24.—Floyd county
officers had much trouble with convicts
yesterday. Sheriff Dunehoo was forced
to club W. S. Tracy into insensibility to
get possession of a knife which the
prisoner had. Jailer Barron discovered
the plot to escape on the patr of four
white prisoners who had filed through
the bars of the cell and were planning
to overpower the officers.
Two white convicts made a get
away yesterday afternoon- from the con
vict camps north of town, but were re
captured after half an hour’s search.
(By Associated Press.)
CETTINJE, April 24.—After a final
desperate attack, lasting twenty-four
hours, the Montenegrin troops forced,
their way into Scutari. The fortress
for six months? since the middle of Oc
tober, 1912, had offered a stubborn and
heroic defense.
Tlie fierce final assault which gave
the Montenegrins possession of the city
which has been the sole object of their
war against Turkey, began on Monday
night. The Montenegrin army took the
offensive along the entire front. They
completely surprised the Ottoman de
fenders by pushing righ up to the Turk
ish positions, where they engaged in
close bayonet fighting.
The Ottoman soldiers made a number
of counter attacks and tried with their
utmost energy to drive the attacking
force out of their works, but they were
finally compelled to fall back and leave
tlieir positions in the' hands of the
besiegers, who received constant rein
forcements.- - #
It was midnight last night when the
Montenegrins obtained their footing in
the fortress and detachments of the be
siegers entered the city at 4 o’clock this
morning.
According to one report, Essand
Pasha, the Turkish commander-in-chief,
recognized the uselessness of further
resistance after the outlying key posi
tion of Tarakosch had fallen. He is
said then to have ordered his troops to
cease their defense of the fortress.
Another report says that the Monte
negrin commander-in-chief had been ne
gotiating since Monday with Essand
Pasha for fihe surrender of the place.
Still another account says that the
Turkish troops defended the city until
the last. Although the Servian troops
did not participate in the final attack,
their artillery was used by the Monte
negrin gunners, and it was said that
to this fact their success was largely
due.
The act of capitulation was signed
by the Turkish commander sfiortly after
the Montenegrin troops had reached the
center of the city.
Under .-the conditions providing for
the surrender of Scutari to the Monte
negrins today, the Turkish garrison was
permitted to march out of the ctiy with
its arms.
Balkans Believe Powers •
Will Make Concessions
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, April 24.—While the cap
ture of Scutari by the Montenegrin
troops is believed in European capitals
to have complicated the situation crea-
a ted by the decision of the great pow
ers to include Scutari in the future
state of Albania, the opposite view is
held in Balkan circles.
There the opinion prevails that the
Montenegrins have accomplished the ob
ject they have aimed at since the be
ginning. of IhevVSav, -w*l. find It more
easy to accept ttife' deexsfott of the 4 great
powers and that the latter, on the other
hand, will be more ready to grant Mon
tenegro a rectification of her frontier,
which will satisfy her.
The long defense of Scutari under
Essaad Pasha was made by an array
estimated at about 10,000 men, who also
had to guard the outlying stronghold
of Tarakosch and other connecting
works surrounding the city. This they
did so well that the Montenegrins could
not make an impression until a few
weeks ago, when their Servian allies
brought up a large number of heavy
siege guns, which soon reduced the fire
of the Turkish artillery.
The Montenegrins are said to have
lost 3,000 killed and* the Turks 5,000
killed, during the siege.
Nothing has yet been decided as to
the continuance of the blockade of the
Montenegrin coast, which was instituted
on account of the refusal of the Monte
negrins to abandon the siege of Scutari
at the order of the powers. Only a
few days ago an ultimatum was sent
to King Nicholas, of Montenegro, by the
commander of the blockading fleet, in
forming him that landing parties would
be sent ashore unless the wishes of
the powers were carried out.. In the
meantime the Montenegrin army was
continuing its operations.
Most of the civilian, population re
mained in Scutari throughotu the siege.
The inhabitants Included about 27,000
Mohammedans and 8,000 Christians.
It was sgid at various times that
the people of Scutari were in a con
dition of , semi-starvation, but it now
appears that • there were considerable
quantities of grain and other stores
within the city and that the people
suffered most from lack of vegetables.

WASHINGTON, April 24.—Secretary
Bryan’s preliminary plans for a world
wide peace movement probably will be
laid informally before the senate for
eign committee tomorrow. Mr. Bryan
h.is been at work- for some time upon a
crystalization of his ideas for interna
tional peace and it is understood that
he is n w prepared to recommend a se
ries of world-wide treaties for the sub
mission of all disputes to arbitration
and a limitation upon armaments.
The unusual course of discussing his
peace plans first with members of the
senate committee has been chosen, it is
understood, to pave the way in the sen
ate for any subsequent treaties that
may be introduced.
While members of the senate gen
erally favored the arbitration treaties
negotiated with Great Britain and
France during former President Taft’s
administration, those conventions were
practically defeated because the senate
would not accept the provision for the
submission of all disputes to arbitra
tion.
It is understood that Mr. Bryan has
in mind the arbitration of all disputes.
The secretary’s suggestions as to the
limitation of armanent, it is said, will
include the proposal that when vital
Questions have been submitted to a com
mission of inquiry, neither country party
t.o the dispute shall in any way increase
its armament or make further prepa
ration for war until the commission has
reported its findings.
BURLESON TO CLEAN OUT

(By Associated Press.) *
WASHINGTON, April 24—Postmaster
General Burleson is said to be contem

(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, April 24.—Praise of the
militant suffragettes in England, and
prediction of serious trouble in Amer
ica if women do not get the ballot were
Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont's farewell
themes as she prepared today to sail
for Europe as a delegate from this
country to the woman’s suffrage con
vention in Budapest, opening June 15.
Mrs. Belmont said she approved of
everything the “English wild women”
have done, and that if woman suffrage
is not effected in New Y’ork in 1915,
militant methods may prevail here.”
“The English women will get the
vote before we do, and that will be a
disgrace,” she says. “People here do
not know it, but Mrs. Pankhurst was
told by Arthur Balfour and other big
men militant methods must be used if
the women would win. Men never won
their freedom without shedding blood,
and the women will not get theirs with
out fighting.”
Mrs. Belmont, who is president of
the Political Equality Association of
New York, will be only one of sixteen
delegates from the United States to
the international suffrage convention,
jyirs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president
of the international convention, and
others, sailed two weeks ago. Mrs.
Belmont will stop over in London, tak
ing time to see Mrs. Pankhurst, the
English suffragette leader, and give her
a check for several hundred pounds,
which she promised at the time of the
recent suffragette meeting in London,
when $75,000 was raised.
She W’ill also spend some time in
Paris with Christabel Pankhurst, “and
learn something of militant methods,
as she said, with a smile.

Yin Tang, minister to the United States
from China, will he asked to take steps
to end Tong warfare on the Pacific
coast, according to announcement made
here today. Wealthy merchants of
Chinatown will send a delegation to

Chang Yin Tang will be asked to lay

The Body of Lost
Confederate Found
After Fifty Years
(By Associated Press.)
GETTYSBURG, Pa., April 24.—What
may be mute testimony to the fall of a
victim of union bullets in the battle of
Gettysburg was found yesterday in the
mountain region eight miles west of
here, when what is believed to be the
skeleton of a Confederate soldier was
discovered under a foot of leafmold,
the accumulation perhaps of half a
century.
The find was made by Clarence A.
Wills while surveying a tract of land
seldom traversed save by hunters. I^e
was first attracted to it when he
stepped on the end of the barrel of
an old musket. Digging away the
leaves, he found the hammer and lock
and the trademarks showing the Eng
lish made gun which was much used
in the Confederate army.
A belt buckle, a canteen, several
Confederate minie balls and other
equipment were found, and finally a
shoe. All were close together between
two huge rocks. A flattened bullet
bore testimony as to the manner in
which the soldier met death.
NOTED SCIENTISTS MEET
IN WASHINGTON, D. C.
(Chicago Recora-Herald.)
WASHINGTON, April 24.—From all
parts of the United States and Europe
noted scientists gathered here today to
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the
National Academy of Sciences. The con
vention will continue throughout tomor
row and Thursday. A feature of the
meeting will be the award of medals for
special scientific research during the last
year.
The meeting will close with a ban
quet Thursday evening.
There is a host of pills, powders, tab
lets and what-not for rheumatism, but
they all lack the first essential to being
a natural medicine. To begin with, rheu
matism is simply a name given to desig
nate a variety of pains, and can only be
reached by irrigating the entire blood sup
ply with a naturally assimilative anti
dote. True, the pains may be eased with
narcotics or the acids may be neutralized
for the time being with other acids. But
these merely temporize and do not even
lead to a cure. There is but one stand-'
ard rheumatism remedy, and it reflects
the best thought of the day. It is pre
pared in the great Swift Laboratory in
Atlanta, Ga., and sold in all drug stores
under the name of S. S. S. at $1.00 a
bottle.
Starvation has been advocated by many
as a cure for rheumatism, and yet S. 8. S.
accomplishes in fact what faddists pro
claim in theory and without the punish
ment of starvation. Hot springs and
sweating are often recommended, but
S. S. S. does all that is expected of these
expensive and weakening methods.
It is conceded by the closest students
of the subject that rheumatism is caused
In most cases by an acid condition of the
blood and aggravated by the remedies
commonly used for relief. In other cases
rheumatism is the result of nerve depres-
*sion; in still others it is the effect of
some scrofulous blood condition, having
been treated with mercury, iodides, arse
nic and other poisonous mineral drugs.
The recoveries of all these types of
rheumatism by the use of S. S. S. is a
wonderful tribute to the natural efficacy
of this remarkable medicine, for it is as
similated just as naturally, just as spe
cifically, and just as well ordained as the
most acceptable, most palatable and most
readily digested food. Do not fall to
get a bottle of S. S. S. to-day. You will
be astonished at the results. If your
rheumatism is of such a nature that you
would like to consult a great specialist
confidentially, write to The Swift Speciflo
Co., 127 Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.

CHARLESTON, S. C., April 24.—The
plant of the Atlantic Coast Lumber
corporation at Georgetown, S. C., was
almost entirely destroyed by fire Mon

WOULD REGULATE RATES
OF GEORGIA HOTELS
i(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ROME), Ga., April 24.—W. J.
Nunnally. one of Floyd county’s
three representatives in the state
legislature, will introduce several
general bills at the approaching ses
sion, and among them one that will
have for its object the regulation
of hotel rates and accommodations.
Judge Nunnally holds- that hotels
are in the nature of public utilities,
and his bill will require all hotels
to keep on public display a plan
or map of their rooms, together with
a schedule of the rates for each
room on the American or European
plan, or both, as the hotel may he
operated.
He would make It unlawful for
these rates to be changed without
publication of intention to do so 60
days before the proposed change
goes into effect. Judge Nunnally
believes that this measure would
prevent overcharge at times of con
ventions, and would assure every
man paying the same price for equal
accommodation.
Mr. Nunnally was formerly so
licitor general and judge of the
Floyd city court, and will favor
several reforms in court procedure.
One of the bills that he will intro
duce is an amendment placing in the
hands of the grand jury the power to
fix compensation for jurors in
justice courts, ordinary’s court and
coroner’s jury. He believes these
jurors should be paid as much as
those in a ebunty and superior
courts.
