Increase of 5,000 Bushels
Expected in This Year's
Crop
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., Sept; 29.—
While the farmers of the state are mak
ing a record yield in corn, Georgia it
self is doing some remarkable farm
work this ‘year. The state prison farm,
which is operated under the peniten
tiary system here, will show excellent
results in the harvest this season.
Gathering corn is now under way and
it is stated that an increase of 5,000
bushels of corn will be made in the crop
this year.
Of this increase the state reformatory,
under the management of Superintend
ent Joseph E. Lovvorn, will make 1,000
bushels increase, the female department,
under Warden O. N. Maxwell, will make
an increase of 2,000 bushels, and the
male department will make an increase
of over 2,000 bushels, making the total
increase easily over 5,000 bushels for
the year.
Warden J. E. Smith, who is head of
the system in charge of the prisoners,
has co-operated with the superintendents
and various wardens to secure best re
sults and this is having its effect. The
farm still has old corn on hand and
while making a big increase in corn will
also do well in cotton growing and bet
ter than ever with live stock, grain and
hay.

GOVERNMENT ISSUES LIST
OF ACCREDITED SCHOOLS
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—Because of
the fact that a thousand miles counts
for little nowadays and that the princi
pal of a high school in San Francisco
Denver or Seattle is likely to be called
on at any time in admitting new
students to pass on the standards and
standing of secondary schools in Halden,
Mass., Sumter, S. C., San Antonio, Texas,
or any other place, the United States
bureau of education has prepared an
accredited list of the secondary schools
in the country.
Both public and private schools are
represented on the list, which is intend
ed mainly as a guide to school and
college officers in admitting students
to advanced high school standing or to
college. Incidentally it reveals the
marked improvement which has taken
place of recent years in secondary edu
cation in the United States.

ALBANY, N. Y., Sept. 29.—A mys
terious woman, who ife believed by the
board of managers of the impeachment
trial 0? Governor Sulzer to b e convers
ant with many of his Wall street trans
actions, is being sought. Detectives
have been searching for her in New
1 ork for weeks, it was learned today,
but have been unable to locate her.
On one occasion a detective called at
her home and a woman who answered
the door said she was the much-wanted
witness. But the process servers, con
vinced that they were talking with a
maid, left without serving the papers.
The search has not been abandoned,
however, and there exists a possibility,
it is believed, of serving her yet. Sev
eral detectives are looking for her. Her
testimony is desired to be introduced
next week along with that regarding
the governor’s deals in stocks.
None of the transactions was made
directly through her as the governor’s
agent, it is said, but she is believed to
know much of the manner in which the
deals between him and his agent, or
agents, were consummated.
Frederick L. Colwell, the governor’s
alleged “dummy” in certain Wall street
ventures, was not produced by attor
neys for the defense today, and tonight
it appears mor e unlikely than ever that
he will testify. Friends of the gover
nor said that illness might prevent
Colwell from taking the stand. They
further explain that his ill health has
had much to do with his not being
seen recently. They still were firm in
their assertion, however, that he was
not attempting to conceal himself and
would be a willing witness, if able.
Charges that the governor bartered
his political influence will be taken up
early next week, it developed today.
Two witnesses, Chester C. Platt, the
governor’s secretary, and John A. Wal
dron, a recorder of executive bills, have
been served with subpoenas duces
tecum in connection with this feature of
the case.
Platt was ordered to produce the re
ports of John Carlisle, state highway
commissioner, in connection with cer
tain projected road improvements in
the counties of Greene, Essex and War
ren. The reports were made while Car
lisle was a member of a committee of
inquiry appointed by the governor. The
report opposed approval of the bill for
improvement in Greene county. Wal
dron must produce the bills.
According to a charge made by Eu
gene Lamb Richards in his opening ad
dress on behalf of the assembly man
agers, $190,000 was expended from the
general fund of the state for the Greene
highway. It is alleged that the gover
nor signed the bill in exchange for the
vote of Assemblymen J. Lewis
Patrie for his direct primaries bill.
A similar trade is alleged to have
been effected between Assemblyman E.
G. Prime, Jr., and the governor. Rich
ards charged in his speech that the
governor told Prime his motto was:
“You for me and me for you.”
At the extraordinary session of the
legislature Prime voted for the gov
ernor’s direct primary bill, and Mr.
Richards, in speaking of this, called at
tention to the fact that Prime had not
voted on the bill at the regular ses
sion.
What final disposition will be made
of the case of James C. Garrison, who
is held in the Albany county peniten
tiary for contempt of the assembly,
was the subject of much discussion to
day. After Supreme Court Justice
Cochrane, at Hudson, had denied Garri
son’s application for a writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that the court
was without jurisdiction, Garrison was
returned to the penitentiary. His
friends plan to use every effort to in
duce the assembleymen to release the
prisoner when the assembly reconvenes
on October 6. •
There vras much speculation in Al
bany todsCy as to what will be the na
ture of the defense of Governor Sulzer.
It is stated that even the governor’s
attorneys do not know at this time just
what his entire defense will be. This
is due to the fact that mudh new evi
dence of which they had not the slight
est knowledge before the trial began,
is being introduced. One feature of
the defense will be that most of the
unlisted contributions were given the
governor for his personal use.
Sixteen Saloons in
Macon Are Closed Up
MACON, Ga., Sept. 29.—Sixteen sa
loons will be served today with copies
of petition for injunction brought
against them by the Law Enforcement
league-
Two saloons already have been per
manently enjoined from doing business,
and their licenses forfeited. Petitions
for injunctions are on file against
twenty others and assigned for hear
ing on November 7. A total of thirty-
eight petitions have, now been filed by
the league, and it i/s stated that there
are numerous others in preparation.
“We have evidence of the sale of
liquor against practically every sa
loon in Macon,” states Attorney R. D.
Feagin, who represents the league. The
campaign to close up the saloons of
Macon will not cease, according to of
ficials of the league, until every sa
loon is put out of business. Judge
Mathews already has held that if the
sale of liquor is proved against a sa
loon, that saloon my be permanently
closed up as a public nuisance on the
grounds of being a blind tiger. He
has also said that if the saloons sell
beer after being temporarily enjoined,
the proprietors will be guilty of con
tempt of court.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 29.—
Charles J. Doherty, engineer oi the sec
ond section of the Springfield express
on the New Haven railroad, which ran
into the first section at Stamford last
June, causing six deaths, died of heart
failure at his home here early today.
He had grieved constantly over the
wreck, and this is believed to have
caused his death. He was thirty-one
years old and leaves a wife and two
small children.
Ever since the accident Doherty had
suffered from nervousness, his relatives*
say, and many times had told them
there was constantly recurring to him
the picture of a wreck victim, a woman
whose gray hair was matted with blood.
He was so averse to being alone that
he frequently kept his young sons, four
and five years of age, up until midnight
for company. He had been working in
this city since the wreck as a station
ary engineer for a local contractor but
had been compelled to lay off for days
at times because of his nervous condi
tion.
NEGRO IS LYNCHED FOR
OUTRAGE TO YOUNG GIRL
LITCHFIELD, Ky„ Sept. 29.—A.
crowd of citizens visited the county
jail here about 1 o’clock this morning,
overpowered the jailer, took Joe Rich
ardson, a negro, from his cell and
hanged him to a tree in the public
square. Richardson, who claimed to be
from Nashville, was charged with as
saulting a young white girl as she was
on her way to school in the country
near here Tuesday morning. The ne
gro’s body was still hanging in the
public square early today.
When constipated, headachy,

Get a 10-cent box now.
You men and women who can’t get
feeling right — who have headache,
coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can’t sleep. are t bil
ious, nervous and upset, bothered with
a sick, gassy, disordered stomach.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a pas
sageway every few days with salts, ca
thartic pills or castor oil?
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested, fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of the system all
the constipated waste matter and

A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning—a 10-cent box
from any drug store will keep your
stomach sweet; liver and bowels reg

ZACHRY HEARING ON
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
BY BALFE SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 29.—The
attitude of the house with reference to
the cotton futures tax took definite
shape this morning when Majority Lead
er Underwood introduced a bill embody
ing the essential features of the Smith-
Lever scheme for regulating the cotton
exchanges.
The hill was introduced solely for the
purpose?- of ( giving the house an oppor
tunity to familiarize itself with the
details of the tax so that it may vote
intelligently when the report comes up
Monday or Tuesday.
Mr. Underwood and other house con
ferees are entirely confident that the
scheme as outlined in the bill will be
accepted by the house in lieu of the
Clark amendment. There is doubt, how
ever, whether the senate will accept this
plan, in which event the whole question
will probably be eliminated 1 from the
tariff bill and be made the subject of
legislation at the next session of con
gress.
Doubt as to the attitude of the sen
ate springs from the fact that the
Smith-Lever scheme was rejected by a
decided vote in the Democratic caucus,
v/hen it was offered as a substitute for
the Clark amendment. Unless many
Democrats have changed their position
with reference to the question, the only
possible chance by which the plan can
b« forced through the senate will be
with the help of Republican votes.

EIGHT CHILDREN DIE
IN FIRE AT QUEBEC
(By Associated Press.)
QUEBEC, Sept. 29.—Eighteen children
Ulric Trudel, all under sixteen years of
age, were burned to death early today
as they slept in their home on St. Fran
cois street. Trudel, his wife, the oldest
son, Antoine, and one daughter, were
the only members of the family to es
cape. They were badly burned and Mrs.
Trudel may not survive.
The house was a three-story wooden

rented rooms to five other families. The
family lived on the top floor, and their
escape was cut off. The father and
mother dropped Antoine from a window
and he was severely hurt by the fall.

Colored Preacher
Tries to Shoot Up
The Congregation
WAYCROSS, Ga., Sept. 29.—As a re
sult of a free-for-all fight In a negTO
Baptist church, nine miles west of Way-
cross, Will Forehahn, claiming to be a
minister, was lodged in jail today by
Sheriff Pittman, charged with disturb
ing public worship, carrying concealed
weapons, assault with intent to murder,
and firing at another person.
The fight occurred last night when
Aaron James, a Baptist preacher of
Ware county, refused to let Forehahn
deliver an address from his pulpit.
The refusal angered Forehahn and
before the congregation or the minister
knew what was happening, he had drawn
a long barreled pistol and was firing at
the regular minister. None of the shots
took effect, the minister hiding behind
an organ while the members of the con
gregation hurriedly got out of the
church through windows and doors.
W"hen James saw that the pistol had
been emptied he rushed the intruder and
they had a fist fight, overturning nu
merous benches during the scuffle. Be
fore long Forehahn was knocked out
and was tied hand .and foot before he
came around. Sheriff Pittman was no
tified and when he reached the church
today found members of the congrega
tion surrounding the minister, who had
gone to sleep, despite his position.

Col, Roosevelt's "Humanity
and Justice" Plea Was
Keynote
ROCHESTER, N. Y., Sept. 29.-—
United States District Judge Learned
Hand, a Progressive, and Supreme Jus
tice Samuel Seabury, a Progressive-
Democrat, today were nominated for
chief justice and associate judge of the
court of appeals, respectively, by the
Progressive state committee, in session
here, upon recommendation of the Pro
gressive state conference. Both are
residents of New York City. The con
ference heard an address by former
President Roosevelt.
The plea of Colonel Roosevelt that
the state courts be “recalled from
legalism to humanity and justice” was
the keynote of nominating speeches.
Judge Hand, who was nominated for
chief judge on April 28, 1909, was ap-
pointeu a United States judge for the
southern district of New York by Pres
ident Taft.
Judge Seabury became supreme court
justice in 1907.
The platform adopted by the confer
ence reaffirms the principles enunciated
by the national and state platforms of
1912. Of the high cojdrt of impeach
ment the platform says:
• “Much of the evidence was a familiar
detail to Tammany leaders long before
the impeachment proceedings were
thought of. The Tammany mind
was not at that time immoral. It be
came immoral ojjly when the newly
elected governor proposed to carry out
his party’s platform and aid in the writ
ing of a genuine direct primary law up
on the statute books, and when investi
gation by the governor began to disclose
gerat frauds.
“The responsibility for the shame of
the commonwealth is not upon Tam
many Hall alone. The Barnes machine
in every crisis has been a faithful and
effective coadjutor of the Murphy
machine.”
