1 A THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1913. LITTLE ATTENTION PAID TO Statement That President Had Been Lobbying Will Not Be Made an Issue WASHINGTON, June 9.—Senators on the lobby investigating: committee were of the opinion today that Senator Townsend’s sensational charge that President Wilson himself virtually had been lobbying for the tariff bill would hot be taken up by the committee as an issue unless some specific charges were made. The committee was in recess today preparing for its next week’s work, which will not only finish the testi- ony of the' dozen senators yet un examined, but will begin questioning the score or more of men whose names have been brought out in testimony as having represented special interests in Washington. “President Wilson will be welcomed before the committee if he desires to appear.” said Acting Chairman Reed to day. “but I see no reason why he should deny charges that never have been made.’* Democratic members took the position that it remained for Republicans to persue inquiries on whether President Wilson had used “undue influence” with any Democratic senators, and insisted that the statements by Senators Towns end. Weeks and* Warren had been of a general character. Senators Nelson and Cummins, the Republican members of' the committee, had no plans today for following up that line of inquiry. “I intend, however, to insist before the hearings are over.” said Senator Cummins, “that President' Wilson fur nish the committee with the facts or in formation upon which he based his statements as to ‘insidious lobbying’ in Washington.” The list of witnesses for next week was enlarged today by the addition of ; R. D. Bowen, Paris, Tex. Circular let ters signed by Bowen as chairman of the "National Farmers’ Union commit tee,” wene furnished by Senators Rans- dell and Kern. These letters urged cot ton farmers to “use strong language” with their senators in favor of higher duties on cotton cloth. AIDES PROXY ABSENT President Wilson Has First Secretary of Each Depart ment Represent Absentees WASHINGTON, June 9.—President Wilson apparently has established a rule that in the absence from the city of heads of the departments, assistant sec retaries shall sit in their places at the cabinet table. f\ John Skelton Williams, assistant sec retary of the treasury, attended the last cabinet meeting, and on all oocassions upon which Secretary Bryan has been away, John Bassett Moore counselor of the state department, has joined the president’s advisers. It is said the rea son for the rule is that each cabinet offi cer may have a representative at the session, who will report to him any sub jects concerning his department, which may have come up for discussion during bis absenoe. Jury Frees President of Amer ican Woolen Company From Charge of Conspiring to "Plant" Dynamite CHESTERTON GUILTY OF CRIMINAL LIBEL ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS PRAISE WALTER PAGE THOMAS EXPOSES SUGAR LOBBY TO SENATE PROBE MOORE'S TWO AIDES Brother of Author Is Found Guilty of Libelling Godfrey Isaacs in London (By Associated Press.") BOSTON, June 9.—After deliberating throughout the night a jury today ac quitted President William W. Wood, of the American Woolen company of the charfge of conspiracy to injure the tex tile strikers at Lawrence by “planting’ dynamite. A disagreement In the case of Freder ick E. Atteaux was reported. Dennis J. Collins, who turned state’s evidence, was found guilty on two counts of the indictment. The first count charged conspiracy to Injure the textile strikers, and the second county conspiracy to injure un known persons. The other counts allege conspiracy against certain persons and. a plot to damage property. The case, one of the most sensational that has grown out of a dispute between capital and labor, was given to the jury at noon . yesterday. The jurors began their deliberations at 3 o’clock and when they had failed ot report at midnight they were locked up for the night. Court reconvened at 9:30 this morning and the jury came in at 10 o’clock. The foreman reported that Collins was guilty on the first two counts; Wood acquitted and that the Jury had been unable to agree in the case of Atteaux. The court ordered that bail for At teaux be renewed pending disposition of his case. Counsel for Wood asked the court to direct an investigation of the publish ed. statement that an attempt had been made to influence Morris Shuman, one of the jurors. Yesterday Shuman was questioned by Judge John C. Crosby re garding a statement which he was said to have made recently to the district attorney. \ This was to the effect that a man, unnamed, had intimated to him that he might have a business position for life and $200 in cash if he voted “right.” Upon assuring the court that he would not be influenced by the alleged attempt at bribery, Shuman was permitted to continue in the jury box. Judge Crosby stated that an inquiry would be begun before him next Wed nesday and he instructed all the jurors to be present. In asking for the investigation Coun sel Hurlburt said: “The newspapers of Boston have been filled with the statement that a jtiror was approached. While the name of the attorney to whom it was said this juror was to go to get $200 was not mentioned, it was generally known through rumors circulated about the court that the atorney was myself. I am an officer of this court. The charge of attempting to bribe a juror is of the gravest character. The jurors are here and I ask that hey be kept while these charges are publicly in vestigated.” (By Associated Press.) LONDON, June 9.—A verdict of guil ty was returned against Cecil Chester ton, a brother of G. K. Chesterton the author, at the Central criminal court to day on a charge of criminal libel. He had charged Godfrey Isaacs, man aging director of the Marconi company, with corruption in connection with the British government’s wireless contract. Some of the most prominent lawyers in England were engaged in the case. Chesterton was fined $f>00 and all the costs of the prosecution which will be exceedingly heavy as the trial lasted ten days. He is to be kept in prison until his fine has been paid. On sentencing the defendant the judge said that when he considered the cruel ty of Chesterton’s conduct and how he might have rendered Mr. Isaac a beggar by driving him from his employment, It was extremely difficult to refrain from sending Chesterton to prison. The Judy’s verdict, thfe pudge added, was a coplete vindication of the prosecutor’s honor. LONDON MILITANTS LOSE 11,1140 IN CIVIL SUIT TO GIVE OLD HEN A BEAUTIFUL PLUMAGE WASHINGTON, June 9.—Fowl fan ciers and experts in the bureau of ani mal industry are seeking some method of breeding whereby the unattractive but useful hen can sprout plumage as variegated as Joseph’s coat of many colors. The activity of the experts is inspired by the fact that many states are passing stringent laws against the destruction of birds for their plumage, while several federal laws prohibiting the traffic in such plumage already ara in effect. The bird division of the National 'museum also h$is the matter under consideration, but it is inclined to be lieve that the evolution of the com mon hen along the lines desired is scarcely practicable. “I> might be accomplished.” said one of the museum scientists facetiously, “by hatching the eggs in a dye house. It might also be accomplished by feed ing the chickabiddies ochre, Prussian blue and othfcr vari-colored paint powders instead of corn or other grain. One, you know, never can tell what might happen in such a truly scientific experiment.” SENT BLACXHAND NOTE TO PRESIDENT Giuzphe Pomaro, It Is Said, Admits Demanding $5,000, and Is Arrested (By Aasooiatod Press.' YOUNGSTOWN, O., June 9.—Giuzphe Pomaro, thirty-five years old, was ar rested here today on the charge of sending a blackhand letter to President Wilson demanding $5,00Q. It is said Pomaro admits his guilt, giving as a reason that he “just wanted the money.” The letter demanding the money was mailed on May 20 and was immediately turned over to the secret service de partment. Captain Washer arrived in Youngstown two days ago and found Pomaro at 1050 North Watt street. It is said that Pomaro is of a blackhand band operating in this section. Test Case Made by Shopkeep ers Whose Windows Were Smashed LONDON, June 9.—Mr. and Mrs- Pethick Lawrence, Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, Miss Christabel Pankhurst and Mrs. Mabel Tiike, representing the Woman’s Social and Political union, were today condemned by the king’s bench court to pay $1,840 damages in a suit brought by a number of West End London shopkeepers for damage done in smashing windows during suffragette raids.

Made M istake in Choice Of Historical Spot (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) DALTON, Ga., June 9.—The resi dence of Mrs. W- C. Huff, on Selvidge street, and not the old Tibbs home on North Hamilton street, was headquar ters of General Joseph E. Johnston while his army was in winter quarters here, according to a statement made by Dr. J. E. Wright, of McAlester, Okla., on a visit here this week. Dr. Wright is dean of the Oklahoma State Dental association. His statement, which he is willing to back with an affidavit, again raises the question 'hich is of great interest to the Daughters cf the Confederacy, veterans and others, who had accepted the Tibbs nouse as Johnston’s headquarters. Dr. Wright was, during the winter of 1863-64, special messenger to General Johnston, carrying telegrams to him night and day, and is positive in his statement as to where Johnston had headquarters. He states that the house was then known as the the Dr. Black place. New American Ambassador to England Is Complimented Highly on Speech (By Associated Press.) LONDON, June 9.—Walter Hines Page, American ambassador to the court of St. James, is complimented in - editori als appearing in the evening papers today on his first speech in England, made last night at the banquet given in his honor by the Pilgrims’ society. The writers express pleasure that he devoted his speech to cementing the bonds of friendship between the two countries. The Westminster Gazette says: “Ambasador Page’p speech showed that the United States have succeeded in securing an ambassador who is more than capable of maintaining the tradi tional reputation of his office for public speaking. Nothing could have been hap pier than the note he struck in this first public utterance.” The Pall Mall Gazette says; “We cannot too cordially reciprocate Ambasador Page’s pleasant words.” The Evening Standard says: “It is good to see the power of the friendly feeling existing betwen the two nations thus recognized.” GOV.

WASHINGTON, June 9.—Former President Taft made his first visit to the White House today since he left on March 4 to become a private citi zen. Mr. Taft was the luncheon guest of the president and Mrs. Wilson, but before he sat down to the White House table again he made a brief visit to the executive offices and shook hands with all the old employes he knew. Before his White House call, Mr. Taft motored to the capitoi and got lost. He went to the house wing and looked for Speaker Clark In the chamber. The house was not in session and only empty benches greeted him. He strolled through the lobby and stepped confi dently up to the door of Representative Underwood’s private office to find It locked. “I’m looking for Speaker Clark,” said Mr. Taft. * “That’s not his office,” suggested a bystander, who pointed out the proper door. “I’m looking for a gentleman named Champ Clark,” said Mr. Taft as he en tered. Speaker Clark jumped from behind a newspaper and shouted: “How are you?” The former president and the speaker conferred for some time. Both are members of the Lincoln Memorial asso ciation which will meet here next Mon day. “I am the happiest man in the United States,” declared Mr. Taft as he left the speaker’s 1 office. Pointing to Mr. Clark, he observed: “The speaker hasn’t changed any, I find.” “I haven’t been on this side in more than four years,” added Mr. Taft. “I used to come up and lobby as secretary of war.” GIRL OF EIGHT DYING OF RABIES AT WAYCROSS WAYCROSS, Ga., June 9.—From a dog bite inflicted early' in March Susie Lloyd, an eight-year-old girl, is dying today.

Va., confessed in the fed eral court here today that he * killed John J. Reardon, a detective, of Pitts burg, at Steubenville, O., in 1910. The tragedy occurred during a period of labor trouble. Cage was tried at Steubenville more than a year ago on a charge of having murdered Reardon, but he was ac quitted, having refused to take the witness stand. Cage’s confession to day was made in connection with a civil hearing. He cannot be tried again on the same charge, having once been in jeopardy. Cage’s confession resulted in the speedy dismissal of proceedings pend ing involving the disposition of $5,000 reward money offered by the commis sioners of Jefferson county, and anoth er suit by Reardon’s administrator to collect $5,000 damages from Jefferson county because of Reardon’s death. After Cage’s admission that he fired the shots, an agreed order was entered allowing Reardon’s heirs $1,500, Cage declared that ho had come into court valuntarily.

C.—Mrs. Emma Bazemore, of this place, says: “Words fail to express my appreciation and gratitude for the benefit I received from Cardui, the woman’s tonic. I suffered agonies from womanly trou bles. I tried different doctors, but they* didn't help. The last one I went to said I needed an operation, so I agreed to it and bore those terrible pains.

WASHINGTON, June 9.—Further evi dence of organized efforts of anti-free sugar forces to bring pressure to bear upon western Democratic senators and congressmen to align them against President Wilson’s free sugar plan were given the senate “lobby” committee to day by Senator Thomas, of Colorado, a member of the finance committee. He produced hundreds of telegrams and scores of documents, letters, pamphlets and newspaper clippings which he believed showed an organized attempt to manufacture public senti ment in Colorado which would affect the action of its senators and rere- sentatives. He gave the names of many Colorado towns from which scores of similar tele grams and letters had come and said he had been informed by some of the signers that they were practically forced to attach their names because of finan cial obligations to persons directing the movement. The invevstigating committee showed a disposition to go to the bottom of some newspaper articles that Senator Thomas furnished and learn wha forces were at work circulating newspapers on the sugar fight. Senator Thomas said he knew the beet sugar interests long had maintain ed headquarters at Washington. The campaign from Colorado, he de clared, was evidently directed and fi nanced by interests that would be af fected by the tariff bill, but had been conducted in an anonymous matter, so he dtd not know the real forces behind it. Although 24 senators were yet to be twenty-four senators were yet to be heard when the senate lobby investiga tion got under way today, Acting Chair man Reed was of the opinion that the investigators would be able to turn the light upon some of the so-called lob byists subpenaed before adjournment tonight. With the scent of the lobby already strong, Senator Reed was convinced that the committee is on the right trail at last and that from some of the scores of men who have been summoned it will be able to extract information confirming President Wilson’s lobby statement. Senator Reed announced he would ask the senate for an indefinite extension of time for the holding of the hear ings. Objection by Senator Jones yes*- terday prevented the consideration of a similar request, but the Missouri sena tor expected to obtain approval today. Senator Oliver, owner of 1,000 shares of preferred stock in the United StateS Steel corporation, told the committee he did not expect the tariff in any way to affect ,its value. “I have always held that so far as the iron and steel schedule of the tar iff ic concerned, the United States Steel corporation is very much less subject to menace than would small manufacturers be to a change In the rates,” said he. In addition to the steel stock. Senator Oliver said he had an investment of $1,500,000 in two Pittsburg newspapers and coal shares. “I never sought to influence any senator in regard to the tariff on any of the articles in which I am con cerned,” said he, ‘“nor has anyone sought to influence me improperly.” Mr. Oliver declined to give his In- vestfents in copper or in other lines that he said were not affected by the tariff or other legislation before con gress. “I am perfectly willing to give the public an inventory of everything I own,” he said, “but I do not think the purpose of this, investigation is to se cure an inventory of every senator’s property.” « Senator Walsh insisted that it was pertinent to ask how much Oliver had invested in copper properties. “I cannot concede your right to ask that,” returned Senator Oliver. “You’re dead right,” interjected Sen ator Nelson, a Republican member of the committee. Senator Reed agreed with Senator Walsh and Senator Cummins with Sen ator Nelson. Chairman Overman was absent. It was a tie. Senator Oliver said he knew of no steel lobby and no representatives of the steel Interests maintained in Washington on tariff or other questions. Senator Dupont, of Delaware, said he owned several farms, 1,000 shares in the Pennsylvania Steel company, 1,000 shares in the Cambria Steel company, 1,000 shares in the National Biscuit com pany and no powder stock. “When I came to the senate I had a small amount of stock in the Dupont Powder company, but I disposed of that long ago,” said he. “I have never felt it proper, however, for me to take part in any debates in the senate involving powder questions or to talk with sen ators about the subject.” Senator Dupont said that although he was a member of the senate mili tary committee, the committee had acted without his co-operation upon legislation concerning powder. Senator Thomas said he had declined to take part in consideration of the lead and zinc provisions because of his mining interests which include $3,700 worth of stock in the Del Monte Leas ing company; $80,000 worth of the Vol unteer Mining company, and $100,000 in the Creed Mines company, limited. Senator Thomas said the only remark to him that might be considered ‘im proper” came from Henry Oxford, who represented beet sugar interests. There had been a persistent effort to influence his action on sugar, wool and lead, Senator Thomas said, through a great number of letters and tele grams from Colorado and the Rocky Mountain states. Senator Thomas said the anti-free sugar campaign of the beet sugar forces was the only one of* an anony mous character, while the wool and other interests had worked openly, he said. General Shake-Up in Weather Bureau Follows Firing of Chief Forecaster Willis L. Moore by Wilson (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 9.—Thirty-one employes of the weather bureau have been reduced for connection with the alleged political activity which resulted in the recent dismissal of Chief Willis L. Moore. Henry L. Heiskell, professor of mete orology, and D. J. Carroll, chief clerk, have been suspended without pay, pend ing an investigation. BALKAN DEMOBILIZATION To Insure Peace, Great Pow ers May Make Turks and Others Lay Down Arms (By Associated Press.) LONDON, June 9.—King George en tertained the peace delegates of the Bal kan states and of Turkey at luncheon at Buckingham palace today to cele brate the signing of the treaty of peace. Other guests included the Duke of Connaught, Premier Asquith, Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey and Viscount Morley, of Blackburn, lord president of the council. • t While peace is being celebrated in London the situation in the Near East continues threatening. The report comes from Constantinople, but lacks official confirmation, that the European powers have decided to demand the demobiliza tion of the Turkish and the Balkan arm ies in order to secure peace. It is be lieved that the initiative In this action was due in great measure to Russia. The position of the Servian cabinet is said to be unsafe but the resignation of the ministers had not been announced up to*noon today. MONEY IN ONION CROP FOR PUTNAM FARMER EATONTON, Ga., June 9.---A former Floridian, Captain J. M. Boone, for many years a conductor on the Florida East Coast railway, with headquar ters at Fernandina, who has made Mb home in Putnam for several years past, has proven t£at there is money in un ions for Georgia farmers, the cost of production comparing favorably with that of other market crops. On his farm two miles out from the city, Mr. Bqone has a patch of Bermuda onions from which he is gathering this year an average of 400 bushels to the acre, with a market value of $1 per bushel. Several specimens were on exhibition in town this week ranging from four to six inches in diameter. JAPAN NOTE U. S. State Department Is Making Careful Study of Protest on California Law WASHINGTON, June 9.—Secretary* Bryan returned from Pittsburg today and prepared to take up with Counsellor Moore, Japan’s latest note on the Cali fornia alien land question. In the verbal exchanges between the secretary and Ambassador Chlnda and between the ambassador and President Wilson, the state department has been to some extent prepared for the newest points made by the Tokio foreign office. But because of their novelty, such as that relating to the. fourteenth amend ment and fine distinctions sought to be drawn between the relative functions of the national and state governments, the rejoinder must be most carefully analyz ed before any serious effort can be made to draft a reply. The administration, however, has no disposition to lay Itself open to the charge of procrastination, so Secretary Bryan and President Wilson will almost immediately devote themselves to prepa ration of a legal argument to cover the Japanese rejoinder as far as that may be done. Except for the possible adverse effect upon general relations between the United States and Japan, which might follow a refusal by the senate to sanc tion renewal of the special arbitration treaty which expires in August, yester day’s proceedings in the executive ses sion of the senate are not likely to di rectly affect the present negotiations.

HEAVIER TAX TO BE LEVIED ON THE TOBACCO TRUST WASHINGTON, June 9.—Legislation to carry out Attorney General McNey- nolds’ plan plan to levy an additional excise tax on the production of the larger tobacco factories with the pur pose of preventing control of the field by the former dominating factors of the “tobacco trust” was introduced to day by Senator Hitchcock as an amend ment to the tariff bill. It would levy a heavy tax o nmanu- facturers producing more than 80,000,- 000 pounds of tobacco or four million pounds of snuff annually. Seantor Hitchcock estimated that the tax would affect only three tobacco companies, two or three cigarette companies and two cigar companies. It would begin as soon as a manufacturer controlled ap proximately 25 per cent of the total production and probably bring the gov ernment $15,000,000 a year. —' NEW BUILDING, NEW PAY, FOR MILLEDGEVILLE P.
