DISSOL Letter to Dr. Kilmer. & Co., Bingrhamton, N. Y. MONTENEGRO IMS TURK CITY DESPITE ORYAN OUTLINES PLANS FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE MRS. BELMONT PREDICTS TROUBLE BY MILITANTS U. S. Circuit Judges Declare They're Not Concerned About Central Pacific 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. Covington, Va. Personalliy appeared before me this 8th day of March, 1912, G. TV. Harding, who subscribed the above statement and made oath that same is true in sub stance and in fact. Given under my hand this 8th day of March, 1912. B. H. PATTON, Justice of the Peace. (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.” THREATS OF POWERS of f ste i e VS" 1 ' nary Plans for World-Wide in a Final Desperate Attack Peace Before Senate Lasting Twenty-Four Hours, Montenegrins Conquer and Enter Scutari Suffrage Leader Says if Wom en Fail to Get Vote Amer ica Will Have Trouble President and His Youngest Daughter Have Narrow Escape (By Associated Press.) 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 ner at peace monument near the capi- tol, a street car was brought to a sud den stop within a few inches of, the president’s automobile. The president was somewhat disturb ed by the incident, but did not stop. The motorcycle men trailing the presi dent took the name of the motorman, but the subject was dropped today by the White House. HOUSE PASSES BIG APPROPRIATION BILL WASHINGTON, April 24.—By an overwhelming vote, the house today 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 labor unions a'nd farmers’ co-operative organizations.

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. (By Associated Press.) 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 RAILWAY POSTAL SERVICE Shake-Up Will Affect 17,500 Railway Postal Clerks Now in Service (By Associated Press.) * WASHINGTON, April 24—Postmaster General Burleson is said to be contem plating: in the near future a general shake-up in the railway mail service, and the heads of divisions in that branch of the postoffice department to day arenervously awaiting the depart- metnal earthquake. The changes, it is intimated, will not affect the 17,500 railway postal clerks who travel over the various railroads throughout the country. Members of the congressional commit tee having to do with the department have recommended to the postmaster geenral the appointment of James T. Canfield, of New York, as geenral super intendent of the railway mail service to succeed the present incumbent, The odore Ingalls. Mr. Canfield was a work ing mail clerk for a quarter of a cen tury and was recently president of the Railway Mail Clerks’ association. "While Mr. Burleson has made no promises he is said to have intimated he would undertake a- sweeping change In the railway mail .personnel “as soon as he could get around to it.” Rheumatic Blood is Whole Story Wonderful Specific for Sci atica, Lumbago, and a Cure for Dreaded Ar ticular Rheuma tism. (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. CHINESE MINISTER TO BE ASKED TO END TONG WAR (By Associated Press.) SAN FRANCISCO.

Wealthy merchants of Chinatown will send a delegation to AVashington to confer with the diplomat.

DALTON, Ga., April 24.—Refusing to license an athletic club, which is be ing promoted for the purpose of giv ing fight fans of this city the thrills experienced by the fast footwork and hard wallops of the disciples of the “square” ring, city council and admirers of the manly art of self-defense are at loggerheads. Dave Stewart, who is promoting the club, informed council at its meeting last night that he intened to start jhis club anyway, and merely wanted a busi ness license for running it. 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.

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.
