THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1913. s FLORIDA LEGISLATORS Lobbyists Are Knocked Cocked Hat—Assembly Progressive into (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 26.—The legislature begins upon its fourth week with the members settling down to the routine with an accustomedness that betokens good work for the balance of the session. Those who have observed legislative sessions know that it generally requires a period of flamboyaney on the part of some and quietude on the part of others before affairs reach their sane level. The first few days of the session are al ways taken up with debate on the number of committee clerks and the number of journals to he printed, ac companied with much speech-making and numerous resolutions that in the end amount to nothing, for legislatures, like human beings, are bound to be jusv about the same and no one is any great improvement on the other—though in terested parties may make claim that such is the case. The result of this session’s attempt at economy to begin with is that the usual number of clerks are being em ployed, and the usual number of jour nals are being printed and perhaps more bills than ever are being printed: The question is one that has two sides, as a matter of course. There are always some members who insist upon holding expenses down to a point that would forbid any sort of adequate service, and this is plainly contrary to public policy. In the matter of employing committee clerks there is without doubt the semblance, at least, of undue waste. There are many clerks who do nothing: they get on the pay roll for political reasons, and since they know that they have thus achiev ed their positions they are not unduly active or energetic. There is no certain criterion by which to measure the work of legislatures, but making a random guess it may be sta ted with some surety that this one is not worse than others have been and by the same token it may be some better. INTENSELY PROGRESSIVE. The house is intensely progressive, after the political idea of the day. The most of them are young fellows who are anxious to be in line with the run of promotions in the political vineyard, and since we have a progressive presi dent at Washington and the trend of public thought is in that direction they are losing no opportunity to put them selves on record as being thus aligned. One of the first things done, which, by the way, was one of the first blun ders made, was the criticism of the re ports -sent out from Tallahassee con cerning their daily doings. It is some what generally agreed among news paper men who are entitled to be judges of such |matters that the press service is generally better this year than has been the rule. The reason for this is obvious. Never before have so many papers been represented, and never before have they been organizd ufedr a system which makes it certain that all papers subscribing for the service shall re ceive the same. If some of them do not see proper to publish what is sent them that cannot be charged up to the representatives. Speaker Farris, who drew the resolu tion. and Representative Floyd, who in- . tr.od.uced it. v saw .their error and were quick to apologise. Floyd made no bones cf admitting that he had aligned hirhself with the progressives because he saw therein *a better chance for publicity than otherwise might have been his chance, and that the introduction of the resolution was merely in line with that policy. The point of the controversy was that the representative of the Times-Union, who was the one to receive the censure, had not appared on the floor of the house at the press table a single time when the offensive resolution was presented, and hence it followed that any con demnation of the Times-Union represen tative was a censure of the entire press crowd. This merely shows how far awry a political opinion may go. Seeking to punish a foe of progressive Democracy as they viewed it .they also leveled their censure upon the entire press of the state. When this matter was brought to the attention of the speaker, be was instant -in appearing upon the floor and making proper apol ogies. Y SHORT AND LUNDY TO FACE TRIAL SOON (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) ALBANY. Ga.. April 26.—Sheriff Potts, of WdOrth county, was in the city Friday morning. He came to sum mons witnesses' for a case to be tried in Worth superior court, which con venes at Sylvester next Monday. Asked whether any trials of unusual importance were to be held during the coming term of that court. Sheriff Potts stated that there were none out of the ordinary except that of Alva F. Short * and Linwood Lundy, the former ac cused of killing Douglas Bass at Syl vester on the 19th of the present month, and the latter of being an accessory to the killing. PEEPLES AND REMBERT WANT PALMETTO OFFICE Two Candidates Have For mally Entered Contest for Governorship (Special Disptach \o The Journal.) Columbia, S. C., April 26.—George R. Reinbert, leader of the Blease forces iu the house of represen tatives, and Attorney Generaly Thos. H. Peeples are candidates for Gover nor in 1914 and both are bidding for the mantle of Governor Cole. L. Blease, who will that year be in the race for the seat in the United States senate now held by E, D. Smith. Mi. Rembert came to the front in the legislative session ofl912 when the anti-Blease forces were arrayeiL in bit ter antagonism to the administration. He stood for his chief through thick and thin and lead the faithful little band of less than a score who lined up behind the administration of Gov ernor'; Blease. Last summer the opponents of Bleaseism centered their flght in Rich land county on Mr. Rembert. But in spite of a well organized and master ful campaign against him Mr. Rem bert was re-elected on the first ballot. LEADER IN HOUSE. \ In the last session of the present house Mr. Rembert again assumed the leadership of the administration forces, although a break between himself and his chief came near being perfected in the closing hours of the session. With the prestige of successful pol itical battles behind him, and having become widely known over the state through his closeness to Governor Blease Mr. Rembert, it is well known, is an avowed candidate for Governor in 1914 and looks to inherit the greater part, if not the entire, political follow ing of the Governor. When he was making a speech at Fort Mill in York county last week several of the prom inent Bleasites in that section came to Mr. Rembert and told him they looked to him to run for governor in 1914. ‘We are going to send Coley to the Senate and we want you to run and we will sure elect you,” they said. PEEPLES WON HIS RACE. Thos. H. Peeples, the present at torney General, who defeated J. Fraser Lyon last summer largely because he had the support of Governor Blease, is also a candidate for Governor and expects to fall heir to the administra tion vote. Before entering the office of Attorney General Mr. Peeples served a term in the lower House from Barn well county. “I am the people’s can didate just as my name is Peeples.' he often said on the stump last sum mer. and he made a good impression for he avoided all partsionship and bit terness. However others are bidding for the Blease influence. Former United States Senator John L. McLaurin, at present the State Senator from Marl boro county, is looked upoji as a cer tain candidate for Governor and he is said to be feeling out the strength which he can hope to command from the administration leaders. He is an old campaigner and one who is capable of sizing up political, omens. His friends think that this is the log ical time for him to come forward as a candidate and vindicate himself, he having been driven from public life by Senator B. R. Tillman, after he went into the “Commercial Dem ocracy.” There are nearly a dozen candidates already who have entered the lists to contend for the seat of Governor Blease and more are expected to throw their hats into the ring. Poor Boy in Hovel Dying of Consumption Visited by Mrs. Wilson (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, April 26.—The sym pathy and charity of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was demonstrated, it leaked out today, by an unannounced and unos tentatious visit a few days ago by the “first lady of the land” direct from the White House to the bedside of a poor boy dying of tuberculosis. Dr. Cary Grayson, naval surgeon, and aide to the president, who spends spare moments caring for the sick of the poor, told the president’s wife of a particularly distressing case while discussing the remedy which Dr. F. F. Friedmann claims he has discovered for the cure of tuberculosis. Dr. Gray son said he knew the little fellow was in the last stages of consumption and though there was little hope he was trying to prolong his life. Mrs. Wilson was touched. Collecting a bunch of spring flowers from the garden of the president, she accompa nied Dr. Grayson in a White House automobile to the home of the unfor tunate boy in the poor district of the national capital. Neighbors today spread the news of the visit.

URGE DHL ARBITRATION Maintain That United States Is Morally and Legally Bound to Arbitrate Tolls (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, April 26.—Both In set speeches and discussions, speakers at today’s meeting of the American So ciety of International Law maintained that the United States was under moral ;.u well as international obligation to submit the ranama canal tolls contro versy to arbitration. It also was held by several of the speakers that congress should at once repeal the tolls exemp tion act and submit the subject to a diplomatic negotiation. I-Iannis Taylor, former minister to Spain, declared that upon the settle ment of the controversy hinged the century-old friendship between the United States and Great Britain, and voiced an earnest plea to congress to repeal the tolls act to permit diplo matic negotiations for an amicable ad justment of the question. Amos S. Hershey, professor of inter national law at the University of In diana, was another speaker who desired to see the question submitted tq arbi tration. “In view of the long and honorable history of the United States,” declared Thomas Raeburn White, of Philadel phia, “as a leader in the movement for the substitution of a system of interna tional judicature for the present United States methods of settling international disputes, it is particularly appropriate ‘that the opportunity should have been presented the nation to establish a, pre cedent. Tt would be unworthy of the United States to rely upon what must be deemed a technical reason for de clining to arbitrate, and it is to be hoped that the state department will not persist in the attitude which has been assumed and will embrace he op portunity of creating a precedent sus taining the proposition that it is not necessary in international law that in jury should actually be suffered before a justiciable action arises.” A letter of similar tenor from the late Prof. John Westlake, of London, was read, but he maintained that it was necessarjf “that an injury be actually sustained before a justiciable action arises.” The discussion that followed was participated in by Edmund F. TraV>ue, of Louisville, Ky; Prof. N. B. Harris, of Chicago, and General Peter C. Haynes, U. S. A., retired. The following officers for next year were elected: President, Senator Elihu Root. oT New York; vice presidents. Chief Jus tice White. Justice William R Day, George C. Knox, Andrew Carnegie, Jo- septf I-I. Choate, John W. Foster, George Gray, William H. Taft, William W. Marrow, Richard Olney, Horace Porter, Oscar S. Strauss, Jacob M. Dickinson and William J. . Bryan. James Brown Scott was re-elected secretary and Chandler P. Anderson, treasurer. Tonight a banquet closed the meeting. Secretary Lane Will Again Try to Persuade Georgian to Accept Place BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 26.—Ful ler E. Callaway, of LaGrange, is in Washington for an interview with Sec retary of Interior Franklin K. Lane, who wants him to be Indian commissioner, Mr. Callaway stopped heer tonight en route to Georgia from a tour of Europe and Egypt. The trip did him a vast amount of good, and he is in the best of health. It is unlikely that Secretary Lane will be able to induce Mr. Callaway to accept the Indian commissionership. The Geor gian stated tonight that his business interests demand all of his time, and he cannot make the -sacrifice that his ac ceptance of the position would entail. Secretary Lane today, discussing Mr. Callaway, declared that he still had hopes of inducing him to enter govern ment service. He regards Mr. Callaway as admirably fitted to discharge the du ties of Indian commissioner. PRAYERS THROUGHOUT U. S. FOR NEW CHINA L ALL -PROGRESSIVES Although Sec, Redfield En dorsed Evans,' of Illinois, President Wont’ Appoint BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, April 25.—Indicative of President Wilson’s unyielding deter mination to have progressives only in this administration was the disclosure today that former Representative Lin- don Evans, of Chicago? has been re jected as a fit appointee for commis sioner of corporations. Mr. Evans had the support of no less a person than Secretary Redfield, oi the department of commerce, to which the bureau is attached. Mr Redfield was a colleageu of Evans in th > last congress, and one of the first recommendations that Secretary Red field sent along was that of his friend. Now, the bureau of corporations can be made an institution of much good, or it can be rendered inoccuous, all de pending onthe caliber of the eommis- siner. It is a place that requires a live wire. The president, it is understood, set inquiries afoot about Mr. Evans and in consequence informed his cabinet ad viser t’.at he was convinced his man was not progressive enough for the job. Mr. Evans came to town some weeks ago, expecting to go to work, he even severed his law office connections in Chicago according to his friends. Last night he packed up and went back to Chicago. There is another case in the depart ment of commerce similar to the fore going. It involves, as has already been stated, the appointment of Allan L Thurman, grandson of Senator Thur man ai.:T brother-in-law of Representa tive Underwood, as solicitor of the de partment. The recommendation that Mr. Thur man be appointed originated in the de partment of justice, and Secretary Red field concurred. Mr. Thurman gave u? his connection in Columbus and came on to Washifigton. Some alleged statements of his, show ing that he preferred the good old ways in preference to the progressive i methods, were called to the attention of the White House, and a stop order was puon his appointment. Since then the Ohio representation here has gone to the front for Mr. Thurman and is in a fair way of re moving the objections of his appoint ment. It is explained that the utter ances attributed to him were really spoken by his faher. JustPa rol ed This Prisoner Dodges Officer (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) COLUMBIA, S. C.. April 26.—While a United States .marshal Was waiting in the outer office with a warrant for his arrest, James Johnson, alias Portland Ned, who was yesterday paroled by the governor, walked out of the inner office and vanished. The governor had the prisoner brought from the penitentiary, and he was waiting in his inner office while the governor was communicating with t'iio federal authorities. The governor stepped out in the outer office, and while he was away Portland Ned politely walked out of the door in the private office and vanished. M’REYNOLDS FAVOR EXTENSION JO U. P.-S. P. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, April 26.—Attorney General McRevnolds today told the su preme court that an extension of time to July 1, for dissolving the Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific merger might be to the public’s interest, but he “em phatically” opposed an extension beyqnd that date or the granting of discre tionary power to the loA r er court to extend the time. The attorney general’s position was stated in a brief in reply to the request of th*e Union Pacific attorneys for mod ification of the mandate so as to use the lower court to extend the time for sub mission of a plan of dissolution. “This cause has been before the courts for more than five years and the public is entitled to early relief in har mony with the provision of the statute which declares that such cases shall be given precedent over others and in ev ery way expedited,” the brief states. NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 26—To have a prayer offered for the new re public of China tomorrow in every pul- p.t in this country is the aim'of Dr. S. H.

BLEASE PIDDLES LIST BF E Green, the Affinity of Mrs, Carson, and Paige, His Ac complice in Crime, Freed (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) COLUMBIA, S. C., Apri 26.—E. D. Green and John L. Paige, two young "Whit^ men, of Spartanburg county, who murdered Ben Carson while he was lying asleep because of the love which Green bore Mrs. Fannie Carson, wife of Ben Carson, were today paroled by Governor Blease, on the condition of good behavior. Mrs. Fannie Carson, who engineered the plot by which her husband was foully put out of the way, was pardoned by former Governor Ansel. The crime happened in Spartanburg county eighteen years ago and was one of the most cold-blooded ever perpe trated in South Carolina. Ben Carson, with his wife, was living on his farm in upper Spartanburg county. He was a young and respected farmer and his wife was a pretty and attractive wom an. With them boarded E. D. Green, a young school teacher, and John L. Paige, another young white man, lived on the Carson place. Green was a handsome young man, polished and with courtly manners, and he and Mrs. Carson were much in each other’s company, their friendship soon ripening into love. Ben Carson, all un suspecting, was going about his daily tasks unmindful of the plot which was hatching in his own house. Mrs. Car- son and young Green soon became so enamored of each other that they began plotting how to get rid of Ben Car- son. Once Mrs. Carson tried to poison her husband, but failed. It was then that she resorted to sterner and more cer tain methods. Consulting with Green, her paramour, and calling in the aid of Paige, the plot was hatched. One quiet moonlight night Mrs. Carson arose from her bed, left her husband, Ben Carson, sleeping peacefully by her side, and went out into the yard. A window had been left open, and when Mrs. Carson was safely outside Green and Paige silently stole through the window and into the room where the sleeping husband lay. While one brained the innocent man with an axe, the other cut his throat with a razor to make assurance doubly certain, and Ben Carson was foully done to death.

Over-Night Relief for Constipation A Small Dose on Retiring and You Are Well and Happy by Morning It is only natural that the simplest of ailments should be the most general, and so we have a whole nation suffer ing from constipation and indigestion, for they are closely allied. But com mon as constipation is many people do not seem to know they have it. They will complain of headache, drow siness or biliousness, all unconscious of the cause, of the trouble. You should have a full and free movement at least once a day. If you pass a day you are constipated, and the result will be that you will catch a cold easily or have a more serious ailment. To cure the constipation and forestall still graver trouble take a dose of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at night before retiring and by morning relief will come, without disturbance from sleep or any inconvenience. Legions of people use it regularly in such emergencies, some of them for merly chronic invalids who have suf fered from constipation all their lives. Mr. A. B. Danner, 326 Riley St., Har risburg, Pa., says: “Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant relief from stomach and bowel trouble. I now eat anything I want and sleep well.” Many others will tell you that they have tried most things recom mended for this purpose but have found Syrup Pepsin the only one al ways reliable.
