SHERIFF IS ENJOINED
FROM SEIZING UQUOH
Judge Speer Issues Order at
Request of Lawyers for
Railroad
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.'
OCILLA. Ga.. May !•- —The flrßt at "
tack on the new prohibition statue of
this state was made late Monday niyht
when the Ocilla. Pinebloom * Valdosta
Railroad company presented to Judge
Emory Speer a petition praying that
David Rtcketson. sheriff of Coffee coun
ty, be enjoined from taking charge of
or seizing two carloads of whisky, w.ne
and rum which is in possession of the
railroad company at Leilaton, Coffee
county.
It seems that the two cars of whiskey
have been in the possession of the rail
road company since about April 29 and
since May 1 the sheriff has had an eye
on it and was preparing to seize it to
tlay when early tnis morning attorneys
served upon him a sweeping injunction
from Judge Speer enjoining all interfer
ence with the freight.
It is contended in the petition that
the sheriff and his deputies are exceed
ing their authority in making seizure
of the whiskey and that they have al
ready rendered themselves liable to
prosecution by taking into their poses
<ion a portion of the shipment. It is
ontende dthat any intoxicants on hand
an May 1 may be legally held by the
owner or by anyone sos him. the words
of the statue to the contrary notwith
standing.
The petition was filed by Quincey and
Rice, of Ocilla, and O. H. Elkins, of
Fitzgerald. When seen this afternoon
these attorneys stated that the suit
would undoubtedly result in a judgment
finally and for all time fixing the rights
of property owners in Georgia and hom
ing that the sheriff, bailiff or policeman
cannot appoint himself as judge and
jury to determine property rights in
this state.
It is further said at the office of
counsel that suits were being prepared
against the officers of more than one
county in this section asking that tney
be required to pay for whiskey which
had been illegally seized by them. It
is understood that the sheriff’s of Ben
Hill and Coffee counties will be sued
for very large amounts because of pro
miscuous and unauthorized confiscation
of whiskey already made.

MURDERED WOMAN
LEAVES BIS LEGACY
TO ATLANTA CHARITY
Miss Julia Catchings Be
queaths Home for the
Friendless Farm Lands
Valued More Than $15,000
The Home for the Friendless In At
lanta and tha South Georgia conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church are
made the sole beneficiaries 1 nthe will of
Miss Julia Catchings, elderly woman
planter, who was strangled to death last
Saturday night on the porch of her homo
in Quitman county.
The Home for the Friendless is be
bequeathed farm lands worth over $15.-
000 by the terms of the will, while the
Methodist church will receive lands val
ued at $24,000 upon tne death of Warren
S. Cooper, Miss Catchings’ overseer,
who holds them as a life legacy
Valuations given here are ultra-con
servative i» anything. Atlantians fa
miliar with the prices which cultivated
lands in South Georgia are bringing
today, state that It is probable the
home. will find Its bequest doubled in
value in the next few years.
News of the legacies contained in the
will were received with much surprise
in Atlanta Wednesday, for it was not
generally known that Miss Catchings
contemplated any’ such disposal of her
estate.
She was an old maid, 65 years old. For
years she had lived alone on her planta
tion in Quitman county. She was re
garded as one of the wealthiest women
in Georgia and was said to be the larg
est woman landholder in the state.
Last Sunday she was found dead on the
front porch of her home. She had been
beaten and strangled. There was a ring
in her hand. Officers traced its owner
ship, with the result that Rich Hender
son, a negro who for twenty years had
been Miss Catchings' servant, was ar
rested and charged with the crime. He
is now in jail at Cuthbert, Ga., awaiting
trial.
WILL IS FILED.
Miss Catchings’ will, executed Li June
19J6, by A. Bancker, an Atlanta attorn
ey, has been offered for probate tn
Georgetown, the county seat of Quitman
It bequeaths Oak View, Miss Catch
ings’ plantation in Quitman county, to
Warren S. Cooper, her overseer and
manager for thirty years, to be held by
him as a life legacy and to become the
property of the South Georgia confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal church
upon his death. Oak Vdew consists of
from 1,600 to 1,700 acres of fertile farm
lands. Estimating their value at sls
an acre—a conservative price for South
Georgia lands—they are worth about
$24,000.
To the Home for the Friendless in
Atlanta Miss Catchings left 1,720 acres
in Clay county, Ga., known as “the Riv
erside place,” and 85 acres in Clay
county known as “the residence place
of the Burney plantation.” Out of the
income on this property, the Home is to
pay a $2,000 Igacy to H. C. Coleman, a
nephew of the deceased, but the bulk of
the estate, w*th all its live stock, wa
gons and personalties, money, notes and
accounts due by tenants, goes to the
Atlanta home.
There are no other bequests in the
will save a few minor ones to nephews
and nieces, such as china, paintings and
bric-a-brac.
The Home for the Friendless authori
ties knew nothing of Miss Catchings
bequests until they heard the news
Thursday.
Short Tobacco
Will Increase
Price by Half
(By Associated Press.)
SAX’ JUAN, Porto Rico, May 9.—Ac
cording to official estimates the Porto
Rican tobacco crop will fall far short
of the estimate made during the grow
ing season and, as a consequence, the
highest tobacco prices in ten years are
now prevailing. The present crop will
amount to approximately 12,000,000
pounds instead of 18,000,000 or 20,000,-
000 as previously expected.
Prices for sun-grown tobacco rauige
about 30 cents a pound as compared
with 20 cents last year and about 15
cents for the crop of two years ago.
As a result of present prices tobacco
men estimate that this year’s crop will
bring between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000
more than that of last year. The United
States purchased in 1915, 7,000,000
pounds of Porto Rican leaf tobacco val
ued at $3,000,000 and 170,000,000 cigars
valued at $6,000,000,

THE ATLANTA SEMI WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1916
RECEIVERS OF SMITH
ESTATE TELL COURT
OF ALLEGED THREATS
L. K. Smith, of Smithsonia,
Says He Will Retain Smith
Home and Property, It Is
Stated
While argument on an application for
an appeal and supercedeas to the de
cision of United States Judge Emory
Speer, in the appointment of receivers
to take charge of the estate of the late
James M. Smith, Smithsonia million
aire, who died last December, is being
heard before the United States circuit
court of appeals in Atlanta Wednesday,
the receivers, according to their report
Wednesday, are being threatened at
Smithsonia by L. K. Smith, a nephew of
Zadok Smith, who declares he will re
tain possession of the Smith home and
the property.
The report of the receivers, brought
to Atlanta by Cook Clayton, clerk of
the United States court for the south
ern district of Georgia, was read before
the circuit eourt of appeals judges
hearing the case Wednesday.
The receivers, in their report, state
that they were threatened both by L.
K. Smith, a nephew of Zadok Smith,
and B. L. Duflaway, said to be a broth
er-in-law of L. K. Smith, and that Smith
fired two pistol shots during a conflict
with J. P. Briggs, a young man of Ath
ens, who was put in charge of the es
tate and home by the receivers.
IN POSSESSION OF ESTATE.
“But in spite of this treatment,” the
report concludes, '’the receivers have
taken over and are now in possession
of the estate.”
The actions of L. K. Smith are de
scribed by the receivers to have been
totally unjustifiable.
The Smith estate fight, grown fa
mous through several states now bv
reason of protracted litigation arising
from the appointment of temporary ad
ministrators and receivers, Wednesday
morning resolved itself, virtually, into
a fight between Zadok Smith claimants,
bitterly contesting the decision of Judge
Speer, in dethroning the temporary ad
ministrators, and the Nancy Smith
heirs, upholding Judge Speer’s deci
sion and claiming that the receivers ap
pointed by Judge Speer should remain in
charge until the appointment of per
manent administrators.
Seated on the circuit court of ap
peals bench to hear the appeal were
Judge Don A. Pardee, of Atlanta; Judge
R. W. Walker, of Huntsville, Ala., and
Judge W I. Grubb, of Birmingham, Ala.
The opening argument was made by
Attorney S. H. Sibley, of Union Point,
representing the Zadok Smith claim
ants. Attorney Sibley vehemently
questioned the right of the United
States court to assume jurisdiction in
the case, holding that the appointment
of temporary administrators was pure
ly a matter for the state court®.
OUT OF JURISDICTION.
Attorney Sibley stressed tne point
that he thought it was entirely out of
the jurisdiction of the United States
court to interfere with the officers ap
pointed by the state courts unless it
could be proven that all of these officers
had not performed their duty.
Former Congressman W. M. Howard,
representing the Nancy Smith heirs of
Habersham county as intervenors in the
case, followed Attorney Sibley. Con
gressman Howard held that where there
were evidences of fraud that the United
States court was purely within its
rights to assume temporary charge of
the estate, as was done by the appoint
ment of the receivers.
Setting out his charges of fhaud, Con
gressman Howard said that four of the
temporary administrators, on the night
of December 11, the same day that
James M. Smith died, went to the or
dinary of that county, declared that the
estate was valued at about $25,000 and,
on their statements that they were qual
ified to act as administrators, were ap
pointed. The estate, according to Con
gressman Howard, was later estimated
to be worth between $2,000,000 and
$3,000,000.
MISMANAGEMENT CHARGED.
Alleged mismanagement of the funds
of the estate, and alleged partisanship
to the Zadok Smith claimants were
other charges of alleged fraud as set
out by Mr. Howard.
The hearing of the application for an
appeal brought here about twenty law
yers from all parts of the state.
The attorneys for the receivers ap
pointed by Judge Speer, A. O. Park, of
Macon; Roland Ellis, of Macon, and As
sistant United States District Attorney
Carpenter, of Atlanta, were present dur
ing the hearing. They were prepared to
enlighten the court on any matter of
evidence, but none of the receivers’ at
torneys expected to make any argument.
Among the attorneys present at the
hearing were Attorneys King and Spald
ing, of Atlanta, recently employed to
represent the Zadok Smith claimants
and the temporary administrators;
Judge Hamilton McWhorter and Hamil
ton McWhorter, Jr., representing the
temporary administrators; Judge Horace
M. Holden, Attorney Howell C. Erwin,
cf Athens, representing the temporary
administrators; Attorney W. A. Char
ters, of Gainesville; Judge H. S. West, of
Athens; Attorney J. R. Bedgood, of At
lanta; Attorney E. H. Lumpkin, of Ath
ens; Attorneys Thomas Shackelford and
Frank Shackelford, of Athens; Attorney
P. Cooly, of Jefferson; Judge J. J.
Strickland, of Athens; Judge Whipple
of Waycross; Judge E. H. Calloway of
Augusta, and others.
application for an appeal was
filed last week, soon after Judge Speer’s
decision had been handed down and
was submitted to Judge Pardee, who
by law, could himself either have de
nied or granted the application.
Asked this morning whether he had
passed on it. Judge Pardee said that he
had neither denied or granted the ap
plication, preferring to allow the mat
ter to be placed before the whole court.
Judge H. H. Perry, of Gainesville,
counsel for Omanda Massey, of Banks
county, and others composing one of
the six factions of claimants interven
ing in the case, presented his argument
during the afternoon session of the
court, upholding the action of Judge
Speer in appointing receivers for the
estate. Judge Perry argued that the
matter was entirely with the jurisdic
tion of the United tSates court.
Attorney Alex C. King, og Atlanta,
counsel for the temporary administra
tors and the Zadok Smith slaimants,
appeared on the opposide side of this
argument, contending that the United
States court had no jurisdiction and
was without authority to interfere with
the officers appointed by the state
courts.

COUIIT ASKED 81 FOLK TO
FORCE SMITH TO TESTIFY
L, & N. Head Refused to Tell
About Political Activities
of His Road
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, May 10. —Joseph W.
Folk, chief counsel for the interstate
commerce commission, filed a petition
in supreme court of the District of Co
lumbia asking a decree to compel Mil
ton H. Smith, of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, to tell the commis
sion of the political activities and ex
penditures ot his railroad in Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky. Sim
ilar petitions win be filed this week be
fore Federal Judge Sanford in Nash
ville to compel Vice President Addison
Smith and District Attorney Jones, ot
the Louisville and Nashville, to make
similar disclosures.
An order requiring Mr. Smith to show
cause May 19 why he should not answer
certain questions asked of him by coun
sel for the interstate commerce commis
sion in the investigation of the road’s
affairs, was issued by the court.
Regardless of the lower court’s deci
sion, the supreme court of the United
States will be called upon to pass final
judgment on the question of the commis
sion’s jurisdiction to compel the rail
road to make the disclosures. It will
be several months probably before final
judgment is rendered.
President Smith, testifying last week
before the commission, "on the advice
of counsel,” refused to give evidence
respecting the political expenditures
and activities of the Louisville and
Nashville in Georgia and other states,
because, as his counsel admitted, it
might embarrass "some of the good
friends of the railroad.”

skirts of this city had destroyed thirty
small dwelling at 9 o’clock this morn

remove household effects and valuables
from houses in the pathway of the
flames. A stiff breeze is blowing. The
majority of the burned and threatened
dwellings are small.
At 9:30 o’clock the fire was under
control, after having burned 39 houses
and damaged as many more, more or
less seriously. The flames were checked
by a frame building with a fireproof
roof. An adjoining brick residence with
a shingle roof was completely de
stroyed.
The estimated aggregate loss 'was

WILSOK NOTIFIES BERLIN
HE ACCEPTS CONCESSIONS
Brief Reply Sent by President
to Germany's Note on
U-Boat Issue
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 9.—America’s
latest note to Germany on the subma
rine controversy had gone forward to
Berlin today and administration offi
cials were interested in knowing wheth
er Germany would make any reply. It
was intimated in German circles that
the Imperial government might not
consider an answer necessary.
The text of the note, made public las'c
night, shows that the United Statea ac
cepts the German promises ina t sub
marine warfare in the future will be al
tered to conform with recognized rules
of international law. It insists, how
ever, that Germany must not consider
her respect for rights of American cit
izens on the high seas contingent on the
conduct of any other belligerent with
whom the United States may be negoti
ating.
"Responsibility in such matters is
single, not joint; absolute, not rela
tive,” says the note.
Secretary Lansing gave out a state
ment explaining that a large part of tho
latest Germany reply dealt with ques
tions concerning the conduct of other
belligerents which tho American gov
ernment could not discuss with the Ber
lin government. He stated, however, he
considered Germany gad "yielded to our
representations” and that "we can have
no reason to quarrel with her” so long
as the altered submarine policy is not
violated.

SPECIAL NOTE.—Dr. E. Sauer, a well-known
physician, who has studied widely in both this
country and Europe, has been specially employed
to make a thorough investigation into the real
secret of the great strength, power and en
durance of Jess Willard, and the marvelous value
of nuxated iron as a strength builder.
NEW YORK. —Upon being interviewed at his
apartment in the Colonial Hotel, Mr. Willard
said: “Yes, I have a chemist with me to
study the value of different foods and products
as to their power to produce great strength and
Albanian Clans
Agree to Quit
All Blood Fueds
(By Associated Frats.)
BERLIN, May 9.—(Via London, May
10.) —According to a dispatch from
Scutari the chiefs of all the Albanian
clans, in a meeting there, have voted
unanimously to suspend for six months
the custom of blood vengeance. Blood
feuds have been universal in Albania
for centuries.
The action of the chiefs was taken
under the pressure of the Austrian mil
itary leaders operating in Albania. Field
Marshal Trouman, w no conquered Monte
negro, made a personal appeal /to the
chiefs urging the abolition of the cus

endurance, both of which are so necessary in
the prize ring. On hie recommendatioß I have
often taken nuxated iron and I have particu
larly advocated the free use of iron by all those
who wish to obtain great physical and mental
power. Without it I ana sure that I should
never have been able to whip Jack Johnson so
completely and easily as I did, and while train
ing for nw bont with Frank Moran, 1 regu
larly took nuxated iron, and I am certain that
It was a most important factor in my winning
so easily.” Continuing Dr. Sauer said, “Mr.
Willard’s case is only one of hundreds which 1
could cite from my own personal experience
which proves conclusively the astonishing power
of nuxated iron to restore strength and vitality*
even iu most complicated chronic conditions.”
Not long ago a man came to me wbo was
nearly half a century old, and asked me to
give him a prellmniary examination for life
.nsurance. I was astonished to find him witu
Uie blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full
of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in
fact, a young man be really was, notwltbstaDdr
mg his age. The secret be said was taking
iron—nuxated iron had filled him with renewed
life. At 30 be- was in bad health; at 46 case
worn and nearly all in. Now at 50 a miracle of
vitality and bis face beaming witb the buoyancy
of vouth. As I have said a hundred times over,
iron is the greatest of all strength builders.
If people would only throw away patent medi
cines and nauseous concoctions and take sim
ple nuxnted iron, I am convinced that the lives
of thousands of persons might be saved, who
now die every year from pneumonia, grippe,
consumption, kidney, liver and heart trouble,
etc. The real and true cause which started
their diseases was nothing more nor leas than
a weakened condition brough on by lack of iron
in the blood. Iron is absolutely neceaeary to
enable your blood to change food into living
tissue. Without it, no matter how mucn or,
what you eat, your food merely passes through
you without doing you any good. You don’t
get the sterngth out of it and aa a consequence
vou become weak, pale and sickly looking just
like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient
in iron. If you are not strong or well you owe
it to yourself to make the following test: See
how long you can work or how far you can
walk without becoming tired. Next take two
five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three
times per day after meals for two weeks. Then
lest your strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. I have seen dozens
of nervous, run-down people 6*ho were ailing
all the while, double their strength and endur
ance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of
dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten
to fourteen days’ time simply by taking iron*
in the proper form. And this after they had
in some cases been doctoring for months with
out obtaining any benefit. But don t take the
old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or tinc
ture of iron simply to save a few cents. You
must take iron in a form that can be easily
absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if
you want it to do you any good, otherwise it
may prove worse than useless.
Many an athlete or prize fighter has won
the day simply because he knew the secret of
great strength and endurance and filled his
blood with iron before be went into the affray,
while many another has gone to inglorious de
feat simply for the lack of Iron. —B. Sauer,
M. D. . . .
NOTE. —Nuxated Iron, recommended above by
Dr. Sauer, is not a patent medicine nor secret
remedy, but one which is well known to drug-i.
gists and whose iron constituents are widely
pit scribed by eminent physicians everywhere.
Unlike the older Inorganic iron products, it th
easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth,
make them black, nor upset the stomach; on
the contrary, it is a most potent remedy, in
nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as for
nervous, rundown conditions. The manufac
turers have such great confidence in Nuxated
Iron that thev offer to forfeit SIOO.OO to any
charitable institution if they cannot take any
man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and in
crease their strength 200 per cent or over in
four weeks’ time, provided they have no serious
organic trouble. They also offer to refund your,
money if it does not at least double your strength
and endurance in ten days’ time. It is dis
pensed by all druggists.—(Advt.)
