THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1913. PLOT TO OVERTHROW VENEZUELA RULERS IN THE Assassination of President Juan Vincente Gomez Was Frustrated by Arrest of Gen, Delgado Chalbaud (By Associated Press.) WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, June 16.— Details of the recent political disturb ances in Venezuela, where a large num ber of prominent men were imprisoned or took to flight following accusations of conspiracy against the government, reached here today. It is stated that a plot to assassinate President Juan Vicente Gomez, was frustrated by the imprisonment of Gen eral Delgado Chalband and a number of his friends. The plot was to have been carried out at the inauguration of the Venezuelan Automobile club a few’ weeks ago. / An announcement of the government says: “The plot was uncovered through General Manuel Corao, who flatly refus ed to join in the conspiracy. When in vited to become a party to the plot he started tow’ard Miraflores palace to in form the president of his danger. On his way he was shot at, but escaped in jury. The information he gave to the president led to the imprisonment of the plotters.” In circles in which General Chalband is well known, it is said there was no plot of any kind against Gomez. The president is declared to have imprison ed General Chalband because of jealousy and fear that he might become a candi date for the presidency next April. In connection with the approaching campaign for the presidency, there is much speculation in Caracas. Many be lieve that Gomez will try to succeed himself, although such action is contrary to the constitution. If this is impossi ble, he will endeavor to secure the elec tion of one of his trusted friends. In either event, it is considered certain that some trouble will follow. Should disorder break out. General Gomez has a great many things in his favor. The army is in splendid condi tion. The officers are loyal to him and there is plenty of money in the govern ment treasury. Besides these advan tages on the side of the administration, merchants in Venezuela who are at pres ent enjoying great prosperity, are not inclined to support any movement which would interfere with their welfare. The recent trouble between President Gomez and the federal council (com posed of ten of the best known military leaders of Venezuela) arose over an agreement with France which was re jected by the council, although subse quently approved by congress. Presi dent Gomez resented the opposition of councillors and prevailed on congress to pass a law providing that the substitute of each councillor might be called upon to serve even during the presence in Caracas of the councillor himself. Sev eral of the councillors, scenting danger to themselves, in this move, took to flight, and the remainder of them em ployed men to guard their residences. GLOIK AND MARSHAL AT ICON UNDER PROBE, TOO Attorney General McReynolds Tells of Investigation of Judge Speer and Others (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 16.—In connec tion with reports that an agent of the department of justice was investigating the official conduct of United States Dis trict Judge Emory SpCer. of Macon, Ga., Attorney Genenal McReynolds todoy said that an examiner had been sent to Ma con to report on the operations of the entire court including the clerk’s and marshal’^ office.

MACON, Ga.. June 16.—Inspector J T. Lewis, personal repesentative of At torney General McReynolds, of tho department of justice at Washington, is In Macon investigating the judicial rec ords of Judge Emory Speer from the time he went to the federal bench, twenty-eight years ago, to the present. The knowledge of his presence here was not known until last night. Inspector Lewis has been here for a week probing newspaper court records, looking over court data that has been kept in the federal building here for the past twenty-eight years. He is making his investigation thorough. He is go ing after information in and out of Ma con, interviewing everybody that has had any connection whatever with the fed eral court in the last score of years. Wherever he gains information that he thinks will be of value to him, he gets an affidavit. His investigation will like ly continue for the next several weeks, if not longer. It was reported that Inspector Lewis was here for the purpose of probing the facts in the recent Huff bankruptcy case, which has been in the federal court for the past fourteen years, but this re port is denied. It was learned definitely today that the inspector is here investi gating the complete judicial records of Judge Speer. Just what information Inspector Lew is has gained since he began the investi gation is not known. Department of Justice Silent on Investigation BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13.—In the absence of Attorney General McRey nolds in St. Paul Minn., the department of justice today declined to discuss the investigation of Judge Emory Speer, which is being conducted by J. L. Lewis, and which is understood to have been under consideration or in progress for several weeks. It is understood, however, that the attorney general is familiar with the complaints and charges against Judge Speer, and it is ^ie belief here that the investigation now under way was ord ered directly by McReynolds. The news that Judge Speer is under investigation and that the inquiry may be attended by serious results in so far as he himself is concerned will create widespread interest in Georgia. That the charges against Judge Speer, if established, will furnish the basis of proceedings in congress, is the belief of lawyers who are familiar with their na ture. f While it is not known definitely in Washington, there is a strong suspicion that Colonel W. A. Huff, of Macon, who has been a litigant before Speer for many years and who had written some salty cards about the judge, may furnish some damaging information relating di rectly to his prosecution for contempt of Judge Speer’s court. Judge Speer has been on the federal bench since March 4, 1885, when his nomination, by the then President Arthur was confirmed by a single vote in the United States senate. This vote was cast by Jdseph E. Brown, then a sena tor from Georgia, and was the only Democratic vote received by Speer. MOTHER AND EITHER SEE Explosion of Oil Stove Starts Fire-Parents Hurt in At tempt to Rescue (By Associated Press.) SHAWANO, Wis., June 16.—Three children met death, their father, Au gust Nebauer, was fatally burned and the mother seriously hurt as the re sult of a fire which destroyed the tem porary home of the farmer twenty miles east of here today. The parents, were working in a field when a kerosene stove exploded, set ting fire to the small house in which the children were sleeping. Before the father reached the burn ing building two of the children were dead. He matched the sixteen-months- ol# baby from its burning cradle,2but the child died in his arms. The father’s clothing became ignited. The mother rushed to the aid of her husband and she, too, was set on fire. Dying, hrom Wreck Injuries, Reporter Sends Big Story In (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, June 16.—Gregory T. Humes ,of this city, who died to day in the hospital at Stamford, Conri retained above all else, his sense of news when terribly crush ed yesterday in the wreck which caused the death of six persons and the injury of about twenty more on the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad near the Stamford sta tion. Humes, a reporter on the staff of the World, was returning from a visit to his mother at Pine Orchard, Conn., and •vyas a passenger in the Pullman car which was telescoped by the electric engine of a train behind. When Humes was carried out of the wreck, suffering from a crushed pel vis and compound fractures of both ankles, as well as painful internal in juries he said to those who were car rying him: “Call up my paper right away and tell them tmrte is a wreck here—a big story. Tell them I am sorry I won’t be able to work because I am smashed up. Call up my mother, too.” Having done his duty—the first thing that flashed into his newspaper mind—he collapsed and has been un conscious and in a critical condition ever since. $5,000 TAKEN FROM AMERICAN EXPRESS VAN (By Associated Press.) DETROIT, June 16.—Approximately $5,000 in currency disappeared in tran sit this afternoon between the Wyan dotte office of the American Express company and a Wyandotte manufactur ing concern where the money was to be used to meet the payroll. According to the express company, the money was in charge or Driver Edwin Rushlow. A search revealed Rushlow’s wagon but the young man was not found. A bag of silver coins was found in the wagon but a bag of bills, mak ing up the greater part of. the payroll, was missing. BENT THERE’S DISCORD BETWEEN Cl. SENATBRS THREE M INJURED IN Sensational Reports of Break Over Patronage Distribu tion Discredited BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, June 16.—The situa tion with reference to federal patronage to Georgia is far less aggravating and a crisis far more remote than some of the sensational newspaper stories from Washington would seem to indi cate. There is reason to believe that there will be no break between Senators Ba con and Smith, and that A. O. Blalock will be nominated for internal revenue collector, as previously forecasted in these dispatches. It is confidently believed that Sen ator Bacon will not continue to object to Mr. Blalock, and it is known that Senator Smith will continue to co operate with his colleague in an at tempt to secure a desirable govern ment post for Calvin M. Hitch, of At lanta. The internal revenue collectorship at Atlanta, it is pointed out, is no more “state-wide” patronage than is the custom collectorship at Savannah, the control of which has been claimed by Senator Bacon. Under the proposed reorganization of the customs service the district of Georgia will be consolidated and head quarters established at Savannah just as internal revenue headquarters are located at Atlanta. If Senator Smith’s right to control the internal revenue collectorship should be seriously ques tioned, because it is “state-wide” pat ronage, it is believed possible that he would then claim a voice in the Savan nah collectorship, on the same grounds. He might object to the nomination of David C. Barrow, Senator Bacon’s choice, and submit the name of some person more acceptable to himself. But, as indicated, there is small chance that the matter will take this course, and the nomination of Mr. Bla lock is confidently expected to be made by tbe president in due course of time. If the Blalock nomination goes through, there will remain then only one piece of senatorial patronage to be finally and definitely settled. That will be the district attorneyship for southern Georgia. The contest for this place will con tinue to be an open fight. This state ment is predicated upon the assump tion that A. Pratt Adams will not be nominated for the office. That Mr. Adams will not be nominated is re garded by many as more than an as sumption. The issue will be not decid ed for some months yet. as Alex Akerman, of Macon, has been requested by the attorney general to hold on until the first of the year. Robert M. Hitch apd Fred Saussy, of Savannah, are applicants for the dis trict attorneyship. So are Robert L. Berner, of Macon; John F. West, of Thomson, and J. Thomas Hill, of Cor- dele. Mr. Saussy, who is a Princeton graduate, has the indorsement of Na tional Chairman William F. McCombs. It is not knbwn what weight, if any, this indorsement will carry. In view of the fact that his posi tion has been considered senatorial pat ronage, and subject to the control of Senator Bacon, the names of none of the applicants r have .been pressed at the department of justice, pending defi nite action of Mr. Bacon’s purpose to recommend Mr. Adams. If the senator stands pat on Mr. Adams and the departmtnt declines to name him, as is believed, the contract for the attorneyship may assume lively proportions. Several of the south Georgia congressmen may take a hand in the contest, urging the nomination of an applicant from among their con stituents. Of course, if Mr. Adams should with draw his name and decline to allow Senator Bacon to present it, the whole matter might be adjusted through the recommendation of another man by the senator. SPEER SENDS GEORGIAN , TO ATLANTA PRISON Thomas Mims Given Four Years for Sending Threaten ing Letter to Mother MACON, Ga., June 16.—Thomas H. Mims, of Elko, Ga., was today sentenced by Judge Emory Speer In the United States court to serve four years in the Atlanta federal prison for sending a threatening letter to his mother. Mims demanded a sum of money and the de mand was accompanied by a threat. His mother placed the letter In the hands of the postal authorities and Mims’ ar rest and conviction followed. T Speeding Machine Sweeps From "Dead Man’s Curve" in Peachtree Road Straight Into Street Car’s Path A flying automobile crashed into a trolley car on Peachtree road Satur day night. One autoist, George M. Murphey, aged forty years, of 347 West Third street, owner and driver of the car, is dead, and its three other occupants, August W. Wofford, of 199 Hampton street. J. A.

Evi dently the driver was blinded by the glare of the trolley’s searchlight for he ran his machine, a light Ford, al most directly into the heavy street car There was a crash heard for blocks around The machine was transformed into a tangled mass of splintered wood and twisted machinery and under this wreckage Murphey was pinned. He died of a fracture of the skull at the Atlanta hospital a half hour later without regaining consciousness. The other three occupants of the car were thrown out and were picked up unconscious by the passengers on the trolley and occupants of passing ma chines, which rushed to the rescue. WOULD RENEW TREATY Viscount Chinda Asks That Renewal Period Cover Five Years , (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 14.—Discount Chinda, the Japanese ambassador, has advised Secretary Bryan that Japan is willing to renew for another period of five years, her arbitration treaty With the United States, which expires by lim itation August 24. Secretary Bryan, making the an nouncement today, said he expected the senate would ratify the new arbitra tion treaties already signed with Great Britain and other countries, despite the opposition against them. No date for signing the Japanese renewal has been determined. The senatorial opposition originally was voiced by Senator Chamberlain, who insisted that in renewing a treaty with Great Britain specific acceptions should be made to remove the Panama canal tolls controversy from the field of ar bitration. The question of arbitrating with Japan the issue of the California alien land law also has been a subject of discussion among senators opposed to renewing that arbitration treaty. President Wilson has had frequent conferences over the arbitration trea ties with senators. Members of the for eign relations committee have been frequent callers at Secretary Bryan’s office. CURE FOUND FOR GUM DISEASE OF CITRUS SACRAMENTO, Cal., June 16.—The discovery of a cure for gum disease, a fungoid growth which does hundreds of thousands of dollars damage annually to California citrus crops was announced today by State Horticulturist Cook. Mr. Cook says it has been demonstrated beyond a doubt that a paste made of a mixture of lime, copper sulphate and water exterminates the pest if applied to the trees and the ground surround ing them. Mr. Cook asserts also that the gray rot and, brown rot fungus, which makes its appearance in the packing houses, is a variety of the gum disease and can be exterminated by the use of the paste. TELLS FRIENDS GOOD-BYE AND THEN ENDS LIFE (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) DALTON, Ga., June 13.—'That the sui cide of Charley Gunz, in Calhoun, was premeditated is evidenced by a letter re- ceivel here by Clayton Ault, written by Gunz and forwarded here after his death.

At 10:30 o’clock six bodies had been recovered and five were reported still buried under many tons of rock and earth. Two injured men were rescued, but one of them probably will die. Five hundred laborers were quckly assembled at the scene in an effort to dig out the buried men. According to the police and fire authorities, it may be hours before some of the bodies are reached. There appears to be no hope that any of the men have escaped death. There is a conflict of opinion as to whether the cave-in was due to a blast or the collapse of timbering. There aro two levels to the subway construction at this point, the upper one for local trains and the lower one for express trains. It was the ceiling of the latter tunnel which caved in. A policeman who gave the first alarm following the accident stated that he heard a loud blast and it was at once succeeded by the cries of wounded and dying. Robert Ridgeway, engineer in charge of the public service commission, after an investigation, announced that the cave-in was directly traceable to a blast. The rock at this point is faulty, he said, and the shoring timbers gave away for a distance of 20 to 25 feet. Firemen early on the scene discovered that a rock weighing several tons had fallen on some of the buried men. It could not be moved by the means at hand and probably will have to be blast ed before the bodies underneath it can be recovered. Three priests descended into the tunnel in excavation buckets to administer the last rites of the church if any of the men were rescued still alive. Most of the dead whose bodies have been recovered were foreigners and their identification awaits the tallying of the numbered brass checks found in their clothing.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.) DALTON, Ga., June 16.—A govern ment pike road, costing $30,000, and ex tending from Ringgold, in Catoosa coun ty, through Dalton and probably several miles into Gordon county, is more than a possibility—In fact, it is practically a certainty. Friday a meeting of representative citizens, among whom were a majority of the board of county commissioners, was held at the court house, where Con gressman Gordon Lee outlined the plan. He stated that while he couldn’t make a definite promise, he was confident he could secure, within two days after the board took action favorably, an appro priation of $10,000 from the government; this, combined with a similar amount from Whitfield county and a like amount from Catoosa county, would be used in the construction, under government supervision, of an excellent pike through the two counties, joining the govern ment pike at Ringgold, and extending south and into Gordon county. Present at the meeting were L. R. Wiggins, ordinary of Catoosa county, and W. E. Biggers, a member of the board of commissioners, who positively guaranteed that Catoosa would appro priate its part. Now it’s up to Whit field county as to whether or not the road will be built, and the people here are confident the board will take favor able action at its first meeting in the future. T}ie pike would follow the line of the proposed Johnston-Sherman highway connecting Chattanooga and Atlanta, and traversing the routes taken by the Confederate and Federal forces during the Civil war. It would prove a big link—almost one-half of the distance of the proposed national highway. The money from the government would come as a result of the appropria tion made for road building experiment al purposes by congress last year. The bill provided for an appropriation of $10,000 to each state in the union; but practically all of the states refused the appropriation, the total of which amounted to $500,000, and the money was then offered to five states. Mr. Lee is confident, however, that he can yet secure the $10,000 which was Georgia's original part, provided Whitfield and Ca toosa show the co-operative spirit.

STATE COURT REJECTS HARRIS CASE VERDICT (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) ROME, Ga., June 16.—The court of appeals has reversed a verdict in Floyd city court in the case of Mrs. J. H. Har ris, woft obtained 1 dsraacres against the city of Rome in the sum of $1,500. The case was a very interesting one, due to a direct conflict in medical testimony. Some o fthe physicians maintained the malaria from which Mrs. Harris suf fered was due to the proximity of an un drained pond, and that the responsibility therefor rested upon the city. Other physicians took a directly op posite view, and so swore upon the stand. A jury in Floyd city court gave her damages of $1,600. Judge John H. Reece refused to grant a new trial. City Attorney Meyerhardt thereupon carried the case to the court of appeals, and obtained the second trial prayed for by the city. WRIT OF ERROR IN MUSICA CASE GRANTED (By Associated Press.)
