PRIVATE INTERESTS STOP
This Is the Charge Gifford
Pinchot Made Before Territo
ries Committee Tuesday
(By Associated Pross.)
WASHINGTON, May 8—Gifford Pin
chot charged before the senate terri
tories committee today that private in
terests had held up legislation to open
Alaskan coal fields under a leasing sys
tem and named former Senator Guggen
heim, of Colorado, as one of the men
who had exerted his influence to prevent
such legislation.
He told the committee that he could
get the names of other men in and out
of congress, who were in opposition to
the leasing system.
Mr. Pinchot had been called to give
his opinion of the bill for government
aid in construction of Alaskan railroads.
He was asked why, in his opinion, leg
islation to develop the Alaskan coal
fields had taken so many years to get
through congress.
“Do you mean that members of con
gress have been influenced by private
interests against such legislation?”
asked Senator Lippitt.
“I mean what you all know', that pri
vate interests have great influence in
congress,” returned Mr. Pinchot.
“There was strong opposition from Sen
ator Guggenheim to the passage of the
leasing bill, here were others. I can
get the names if you want them.”
The former forecaster declared that
in his judgment the government should
operate railroads in Alaska. He be
lieved in the leasing system -for mines.
He added that if the government had
tetained possession of the coal-fields of
Pennsylvania there never would have
♦been such “political corruption.” as he
said existed in that state.
Mr. Pinchot advocated the retention
in government possession of all “fac
tors of power,” coal, oil and water
power.
“Power.” he said, “is the greatest
tool of civilization. The curtailment of
sources of power is the main reason for
the high cost of living.”
Mr. Pinchot was the only witness to
day.

falling of the womb and it

scarcely stand on my feet.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-7After a con
ference with President Wilson today.
Postmaster General Burleson announced
that an executive order would be Is
sued requiring that all fourth-class post
masters now in office or candidates for
prospective appointments should be sub
jected to a competitive examination to
determine their fitness for the office.
The postmaster general issued a state
ment explaining the puopose of the new
executive order declaring that President
Taft’s action in putting the fourth-class
postmasters in the classified service was
not sufficient and that the mere placing
of a great horde of persons in the classi
fied service was not in conformity with
the spirit of the civil service as there
were no tests to determine the merits
of the applicants.
The new order which substantially
amends the Taft executive order, retains
in the classified service all fourth-class
postmasters In the service, but specific
ally requires a competiitve examination
and a selection by postofflee inspectors
from among the first three eligible ap
plicants. The order places the age lim
it for appointees at sixty-five years.
Mr. Burleson, in his discussion of the
situation, indicated that the Wilson ad
ministration wishes to take the fourth-
class postmasters out of politics but
points out that Democrats as well a»
Republicans will have an opportunity
under competitive examinations to show
their fitness.
Second and Third Class
Offices Under Order Soon
WASHINGTON, May 8.—Postmaster
General Burleson announced today that
it was the purpose of President Wilson
and himself to take into the classified
service probably during the next year
all postmasters of the second and third
classes. Fourth class offices already
have been covered by executive order.

MACON, Ga., May 8.—Judge W. I.
Grubb, of Birmingham, Ala., will prob
ably try Colonel W. A. Huff on Monday,
May 19, on charges of contempt of
| court, for sending two rather caustic
I letters to Judge Emory Speer last July.
I Colonel Huff will be represented by his
regular counsel. Attorneys Tom S.
j Felder and DuPont Guerry. The case,
| like all entempt of court cases, will be
; tried without a jury. District Attorney
i Akerman will conduct the prosecution,
j Colonel Huff has announced that the
approaching trial -will not hinder him
in the least in making another attack on
Judge Speer, which he has already
planned to do. He recently placed
“copy” of another attack he has written
on the federal ‘judge in the hands of
printers, and just as soon as the pam-
I phlets are completed he will distribute
! them over the county and send them to
I congress in * an 'effort to have Judge
j Speer impeached.
The trial of the case" has been pend-
i ing since last year, and it has created
much interest all over the state. Doubt
less the federal court will be unable to
accommodate the visitors the day of the
trial.

DR. M’NAUGHTON GIVEN
NEW LEASE ON LIFE
A respite was Monday granted Dr. W.
J. McNaughton, who was to have been
hanged Friday for the murder of Fred
Flanders. The hanging was to take
place in Emanuel county and was post
poned by order of the governor until
Friday, September 5.
The reason given for granting the re
spite was that the governor did not
think the law could be carried out’until
after the trial of Mrs. Flanders, who
is charged with being implicated in the
crime. Her case was called at Swains-
boro last week, and postponed until Sep
tember.
Flanders died under suspicious cir
cumstances, and Dr. McNaughton, who
lived with him at the time, was ac
cused of administering some kind of
poison.

1 q-Year-Old Bride Flees
From F\er Husband of 50
T3 ATHER than li^e with her 50-year-
^ old husband, who she alleged was
“jealous, and too old to understand,”
Mrs. S. J. Bell, aged nineteen, fled from
her home one mile from Marietta three
weeks ago and sought refuge at the
home of Mrs. William Butler, of 25
Hightower street, a friend.
Wednesday morning the youthful wife
and Mrs. Butler quarreled, and the run
away asked the aid of Chief of Piflice
Beavers in returning to the home of
her mother at Waco, Tex. Her case is
being investigated.
Mrs. Bell, while on the verge of tears,
told the police chief a remarkable story
of the wooing by Bell and of their mar
riage.
Mrs. Bell was formerly Miss Jenks
and lived in Waco. One day last win
ter she was Introduced to Bell, who was
visiting friends there. Five days after
the meeting, she said, Bell proposed mar
riage.
“He said I was the only girl in the
world for him, and told glowing tales
of his home at Marietta. He was a wid
ower and had three children by a for
mer wife. He said he wanted a mother
for them, too.
“I didn’t want to marry him then, and
I told him so. He wouldn’t take ‘no’ for
an answer, though, and told me that he
would send for me. I laughed at him
then. I told him I liked him, but
couldn’t love him.
“Then one day I got a letter from
him after he had returned home. That
was in February. He wanted me to come
and I went. I don’t know now why 1
did it, and I regretted it soon afterward.
But it ~7as too late. We were married
on February 15.”
Mrs. Bell, when in Waco, lived with
her adopted mother, Mrs. Mary Dowd.
Her mother, Mrs. Violet K. Jenks, how
ever, is living and it is to the latter,
that she wants to go. She told detec
tives that her mother is an invalid and
unable to care for her in early life, and
that Mrs. Dowd adopted her when she
was but three years old.

SAVANNAH ASKS FOR AN
ADDITIONAL U. S. JUDGE
Lawyers in Washington Con
fer With Georgia Delega- •
tion Over New District
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, May 8.—At a confer
ence today between the members of the
Georgia congressional delegation and a
committee of Savannah lawyers, the cre
ation of an additional federal judge in
Georgia was considered.
As a result of the discussion, the dele
gation passed a resolution requesting
the Savannah lawyers to submit In writ
ing a bill and facts to sustain their con
tention that an additional Judge is
needed.
Senator Bacon and Congressman
Howard were the only members of the
delegation absent from the conference.
They were unavoidably detained. Sena
tor Smith stated to the meeting that
after a conference with Senator Bacon
they had agreed to support whatever
federal court legislation the house mem
bers may agree upon.
The conference was enlivened by the
unavoidable discussion of Judge Emory
Speer’s popularity and unpopularity in
the southern district.
The Savannah committee came to
Washington in the hope of interesting
the Georgia congressmen and senators
in the creation of an additional district.
Divergent view expressed In the confer
ence, however, developed the Impossi
bility of an agreement along this line,
whereupon, as a basis of compromise,
the suggestion was made that an addi
tional judge with headquarters at Sa
vannah, would relieve conditions.
“I gather that you gentlemen are af
flicted with a disease and want local re
lief, yet are willing that other setcions
may continue to suffer,” said Congress
man Tribble, who declared that he
would not agree to such a proposition.
The Savannahians disclaimed that
such was the case, and asserted that
the popularity or unpopularity of
Judge Speer should not be considered.
Congressman Roddenbery declared
that before he acquiesced in any ar
rangement to relieve Savannah from
Judge Speer he expected to hear from
the constituents In his district. He
added that he did not feel like voting
for the creation of additional federal
jobs in Georgia unless there Is a tenta
tive understanding as to how the
patronage is to be controlled.
Judge Adamson declared that “if the
judge of the southern district is a poor
judge that is all the more reason why
there should be another federal judge
In Georgia, and that if he Is a good
judge, then another judge is needed
just the same.”
Discussing the creation of another
district, there seemed to be a general
objection to any positive agreement as
to geographical lines at this time.
Senator Smith declared that he felt
sure that the people of the northern
district, who are in love with Judge
Newman, would object seriously to be
ing placed In another jurisdiction.
The lawyers in the Savannah commit
tee declared that the admiralty practice
in the federal court had dwindled to
nothing, because the federal judge is
rarely accessible to give it his atten
tion.
The Savannahians were:
Judge Sam Adams, General Peter W.
Meldrim, W. W. Osborne, Ferris Cann,
Anton Wright and Mayhew Cunning
