LORD HALDANE WILL TALK
ON ANYTHING BUT MEXICO
Discusses Peace and “Suffs"
and Home Rule-To Review
Cadets
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—A visit to
West Point was today’s feature on the
program of Viscount Haldane, lord
high chancellor of England, who reach
ed here yesterday for a five days* visit
to America; After a reception and
luncheon at the home of Colonel Town-
ley, superintendent of the military acad
emy, and a review of the cadets, Cord
Haldane expected to leave on -a special
train for Albany, the second stopping
point in hia trip from this city to Mon-
» treal.
At Montreal Lord Haldane will ad
dress the American Bar asociation on
Monday. He plans to return to New
York Tuesday night and sail for home
Wednesday morning.
In the first interview given newspa
per men since his appointment Lord
Haldane discussed freely on his arrival
the topics of the day, but balked at
giving his opinion as to the outcome of
the situation in Mexico. He declared
for woman suffrage—but not for the
militant methods of seeking it—proph
esied home rule for Ireland soon, said
he couldn’t foresee lasting world-wide
peace in the near future and jokingly
ventured the opinion that England’s
great seal, of which he is keeper, was
‘very safe” in the house of lords dur
ing his brief absence.
LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns
About Coffee
Many people exist in a more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and coffee
are often the cause of the cloudiness,
and that here is a simple way to let
the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an experi
ence and tells about it, in a letter. He
says:
“For about forty years, I have had
indigestion and stomach trouble in va
rious forms. During the last 25 years
l would not more than get over one
spell of bilious colic until another
would be upon me.
“The best doctors I could get and all
the medicines I could buy, only gave
<ne temporary relief.
‘‘Change of climate was tried with
out results. I could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that it seemed it
would jump out of my body.
“I came to the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that I was
about wound up, when I saw a Postum
advertisement. I had always been a
coffee drinker, and got an idea from the
•d. that maybe coffee was the cause ot
* niy trouble.
‘‘I began to use Postum instead of
coffee and in less than three weeks 1
"eit like a new man. The rheumatism
left me, and I have never had a spell
of bilious colic since.
"*»*y appetite is good, my digestion
pbver was better and I can do more
work than before for 40 years.
‘‘I haven’t tasted coffee since I be
gan with Postum. My wife makes it
according to directions and I relish it
as well as I ever did coffee, and I was
certainly a slave to coffee.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for copy of the
little book, ‘‘Road to Wellville.”
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum—must be well boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup of hot water and. with the addi
tion of cream and sugar, makes a deli
cious beverage Instantly.
"There’s a Reason” for Postum.
SENATE FINISHES FIRST
TARIFF BILL REARING
Leaders Declare Belief That
Measure Will Be Passed
Within Week
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—The senate
heaved a sigh ot relief tonight, when just
before adjournment, it completed the first
reading of the new tariff bill. Although
many of the most important new fea
tures of the measure remain to be set
tled, senate leaders agreed that the
disposal of the first reading of the bill
had brought the passage of the measure
within view and that another week may
witness its completion and passage.
The rates of the new income tax; the
proposed tax on cotton futures; many
provisions of the administration fea
tures of the law; the suggested tax re
bate of 3 per cent for imports brought
in American ships; and many other sec
tions of the measure that will occasion
debate were put over without action,
and will be taken up again next week.
Senator Norris announced that before
the bill was completed, he would pro
pose an amendment directed at the Bra
zilian coffee monopoly, giving the presi
dent authority to levy 25 per cent duty
on a product controlled through monop
oly or conspiracy in another country.
CONFERENCE MONDAY.
Democratic members of the finance
committee met again tonight and may
continue their sessions tomorrow, to go
over the sections laid aside by the sen
ate in its several weeks of work on the
bill. It was expected tonight that the
Democratic senators would be called into
a party conference Monday or Tues
day, to adjust all differences over the
bill, including the question of the in
come tax on large incomes.
The senate today made a number of
important changes in the bill. The pro
posal of the Democrats, to give circuit
courts of appeal equal jurisdiction with
the United States customs cour.t, was
withdrawn by Senator Williams, in be
half of the Democratic committee mem
bers. He said the -committee had de
cided it would be better to leave the
final judgment in customs cases entirely
to the customs court.
Just before adjournment Senator Poin
dexter offered an amendment for a tariff
commission of five persons who would
serve for 15 years and receive salaries
of $15,000 per year. They would be
removable by a majority vote of con
gress. The amendment which repre
sents the views of the Progressive party
will be taken up Monday.
- The senate adopted a provision pro
hibiting importation of goods made by
convict labor, or "principally by children
under 14 years of age.” Senator Borah,
Republican, who had been instrumental
in having the child labor question con
sidered as part of the bill, declared the
amendment, as it had been drawn, did
not meet the needs of the situation. The
“wording of the provision, he said, world
admit goods made by child labor, “Ve-
cause it would be difficult to show they
had been made “principally by children
under 14 years of age.”
The provisions giving the president
power to establish retaliatory duties
much higher than the usual tariff rates,
against certain imports from countries
that might discriminate against the
United States, were adopted after sev
eral fruitless attempts by the Republi
cans to amend them by increasing the
list of articles upon w’hich extra duties
could be levied.
Senator McCumber endeavored to
have agricultural products included in
the list; but his amendment was reject
ed.
NAVY MEDICAL MEN ARE
WANTED IN CIVIL WORK
Daniels Makes Statement in
Regard to Heavy Demands
for Naval Doctors
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—Demands on
the navy for medical officers to fill po
sitions in civil life for which special
training is necessary, called for a state
ment by Secretary Daniels. These calls
are numerous, he said, and many of them
could not be complied with on account
of the shortage in the navy medical
corps.
The civil profession, said the secre
tary, looked to federal sources for
knowledge along certain lines not within
the scope of duties of the general prac
titioner. As an example of the diver
sity of these duties, he pointed to Sur
geon General Stokes, who he said,
among other positions in the medical
world, served as a member of the cen
tral command; vice chairman of the
war board of the American Red Cross,
president of the Society for Social Hy
giene, lecturer at the naval war col
lege here, fellow and member of the
board of regents of the American Col
lege of Surgeons and fellow of the
American Surgical association.
Numerous other illustrations were
given of medical officers who are en
gaged in outside work as lecturers and
teachers and as officers in various so
cieties, doing highly specialized work.
BUTTS COTTON SUFFERS
FROM LACK OF RAIN
JACKSON, Sept. 1.—Need of a gen
eral rain throughout Butts county is be
ginning to be felt. Complaints of dam
age to cotton from the dry days are
beginning to be heard. Late gardens and
truck have been injured seriously by
the dry weather.
Following the heavy rains of a few
weeks ago there has been a dry spell
of several days, during which time not
a single general rain has fallen, though
there have been local showers over the
county. Just how much damage has
been done to the cotton crop in this
county is problematical, but unless'there
is a general shower soon the situation
may become serious.
GERMAN ATHLETIC PROBERS
RECEIVED BY PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—Although
President Wilson had no engagements
for today and was absorbed entirely in
the Mexican situation, he interrupted
his work to come from his study in the
White House to his offices to receive
the imperial German commission of four
appointed to study American athletics.
The commissioners are making a tour
of this country in preparation for the
Olympic games in Germany in 1916.

Held for Murder
(By Associated Press.)
EDMONTON; Alta., Sept. 1.—Three
Fort Simpson trappers, G. L. DesChan-
neault and Joseph and William Hudson,
who have just returned from a long
journey to the far north, deny the
claim of Vilhjalmur Stefansoon, arctic
explorer, that he is the discoverer of
the tribe of blonde Eskimos.
They declare that in penetrating the
wilds of the far north with an Eskimo
guide, they heard stories of a strange
tribe and that guided to the camp,
they found Eskimos whiter than the
white men who have spent years in the
arctic cold and winds.
They claim that they spent three
weeks with the tribe, which numbered
300 and obtained many valuable skins.
When Stefansson arrived, they declare
they were already there and the mem
bers of the tribe then told of other
and larger tribes similar to themselves
on the shores of the Arctic. The trap
pers claim to have pushed on northward
for some distance, thus delaying their
return to civilization, where they learn
ed Stefansson had claimed the discov
ery of the tribe.

Judge of Clayton County An
nounces for Congress From
Third District
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 1.—That
Judge A. A. EvauB, associate member of
the state tax commission, will be a can
didate for congress in the Third district,
is regarded as almost a certainty. For
several years he has been looked upon
as a probable opponent to Henry D.
Clayton, representative from that’ dis
trict. Now that Mr. Clayton has an
nounced that he will run for the sen
ate regardless of what may happen, it
is regarded as sure that Judge Evans
will endeavor to become the successor
to Mr. Clayton.
Judge Evans' home is at Clayton, Bar
bour county. For a number of years
he was judge of the Third judicial cir
cuit and is one of the most popular men
in the circuit. He left the circuit bench
to accept the appointment by Governor
Comer to the supreme bench. Later
he was appointed to membership on the
tax commission. Judge Evans is regard
ed as one of the ablest lawyers in the
state. He is practicing in this city.
Byrd C. Farmer, a lawyer of Dothan,
and J. A. Carnley, a well known attor
ney of Elba, have also announced that
they will run for congress in the Third
district. The race promises to be a live
ly affair.
Young Son of Mrs, Sylvia
Hawkins Will Be Taken
From Mother When She
Starts on Sentence at State
Prison Farm for Murder of
Her Husband
Unless some of his kinspeople take
charge of little Harold Thurmond
Hawkins, the three-year-old son of
Mrs. Sylvia Faulkner Hawkins, of
Gainesville, who has been sentenced to
life imprisonment tor the murder ot
her husband, the little fellow may have
to enter an orphan asylum.
The mother will not be permitted to
take the little boy with her when she
goes to the state farm to serve her
sentence, and some other arrangement
will have to be made for him.
Ever since his mother has been in
the Hall county jail Harold has been
with her, playing about the corridors
and making friends with the prisoners,
and Mrs. Hawkins would like to have
him with her all the time.
-aptain G. H. Yancey, secretary of
the prison commission, said Friday,
however, that the little boy will not be
received at the state farm.
"The child is too young,” said Cap
tain Yancey, ‘‘and besides we can send
no one to the farm who has not been
legally committed to it.” ,
This is the first time in a number
of years that such a question in regard
to a white child has arisen. Some
times very young babies are allowed to
remain with their mothers until some
ararngement can be made for them,
and for years a good old colored wom
an was regularly employed to take
charge of all young colored children.
Rarely everd oes the question arise
as to whether or not a white child shall
be received at the farm.
As soon as tue commitment papers
are received by the prison commission,
Mrs. Hawkins will be taken to the j
farm to begin her life sentence, but
the little boy must remain behind.
Bartow Cantrell and Jim Cantrell
have been sentenced to hang for the
murder of Hawkins.
TO BREAK UNDER STRAIN
She Displays Much “Nervei 1 '
but Worry Over Case
Shows Plainly
Accused of Killing
Men Just to Watch
’Em "Keeling Over”
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 1.—In
sane drunkenness was the plea entered
by Will Taylor, son of Police Chief
W. H. Taylor, when he went on trial
in the city court yesterday accused of
murdering Arthur Turner, a negro, at
Washington park, last August. It was
charged that young Taylor shot and
Villed Turner without provocation and
also poured a few bullets into Bill Hol
lins, an aged negro, who subsequently
recovered. According to the state, Tay
lor ruthlessly pulled the trigger for
the fun of seeing the negroes "keel
over” in their tracks.
Hollins gave very sensational testi
mony. He testified that Taylor shot
his dog, then came to his door and call
ed him out. "Do you want to know
who shot your dog?” was the question
attributed to Taylor.
Then it was that the negro swore
that Taylor shouted: "I am going to
kill that negro.”
The state rested early yesterday aft
ernoon, following which the defense of
fered testimony. The speeches of at
torneys began toward dusk. The case
has caused intense interest in Montgom
ery, owing to the prominence of the de
fendant’s family.
GLAYTON’S GASE MAY

SAVANNAH, Ga., Sept. 1.—Mrs. Efln^

terday during the time she was In the
court house awaiting the disposition of
her case, although she was nervous and.
showed unmistakable signs of worry.
She has not lost her nerve, however. She
has not taken any one tnto her confi
dence as to the cause of the killing, and
at the hearing which was rather brief,
she refused to make any statements of
any kind until she had consulted her
attorney. Sentiment In Millen Is still
very much divided over the case. In
stead of Interest dying out In the trag
edy, It seems to Increase. The hearing)
went over because the state was not
represented, the solicitor general being
busy at the fall session of the Toombs
county court. Just when the oase Is to
be heard is problematical.
Mrs. Godbee willingly went back t<A
jail yesterday, and has made herself
comfortable there. She seems content t»
play a waiting game for a time.

SHOCKED BY LIGHTNING
WHILE SITTING BY TREE
ROME, Ga., Sept. 1.—J. W. P’reeman.
John Carroll and Benjamin Hitchcock
i were severely shocked by lightning as
; they sat beneath a tree here this after
noon during a severe electrical tsorm.
Freeman lies at the point of death to
night, suffering from internal injuries.
Carroll was knocked unconscious, Hitch
cock, who is a wealthy lumberman, may
be marked for life as a result of a bolt
which ran around his head Just below
the hat band, making a circular scar,
though he was seriously hurt. Carroll
will recover but Freeman’s death is ex-
jpected hourly.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 1.—-If
Henry D. Clayton is not seated, Gov
ernor O’Neal must call an extra session
of the Alabama legislature to provide
the machinery for selecting a federal
senator, in the opinion of those inti
mate with the present sieuation.
While things look dark for the seat
ing of Mr. Clayton, all hope is not lost.
The "faithful” here still see a glim
mering ray and there is yet one other
plan, it is said, which may result in
the seating of Mr. Clayton. This plan,
however, is known only to those inter
ested in Mr. Clayton at Washington.
Should the senate decline finally to
recognize Mr. Clayton, it will be because
it thinks that the selection of a senator
should be authorized by the legislature,
and no other course will be left then,
it is believed, but for Governor O’Neal
to assemble the legislature, unless he
would choose to allow the vacancy tc
run on until early in 1915.
