BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. May 12.—Wil liam B. Bankhead, of Jasper, son of Senator J H. Bankhead, has defeated former Congressman R. P. Hobson for congress from the newly-created Tenth district of Alabama by a majority of fifty-one votes after one ot the bitterest political contests in the history of the state. Captain Hobson has announced that he will contest the result. County executive committees met all over the state today and canvassed the vote and the official returns from the Tenth district give the above result. In the Seventh district, where another race was scagcd between Congressman John I* Burnett and I*. B. Raiiwy and Watt T. Brown, the congressman has . been returned by a majority of 686 votes. The official count showed Bur nett 6.462. Rainey 4,031 and Brown 1.934. While the official returns from all : counties in Alabama are still unavail aide so far as the state races are con- i cerned sufficient official returns have , been received here to remove practically | beyond a doubt all uncertainties. Complete and official returns from 1 twenty-four counties of the sixty-seven in the state show that Henry P. Merritt, floor leader of the state house, has de feated Sam P. Kennedy over the state by a majority of at least 5,000 for the presidency of the state public service commission which Mr. Kennedy holds at present. . Twenty-four counties give Merritt a majority of 1.372 over Kennedy, which will be largely increased as the coun ties considered as Kennedy strongholds have already reported. Kennedy expect ed to get majorities sufficient in Mo bile, Jefferson, Montgomery and Pike to offset any gains Merritt might make elsewhere. Returns in hand show that he has failed to do so and that Merritt is leading with his strongest territory still to be heard from. E<l Smith, of Birmingham, has de feated Borden Burr, also of Birming ham. by a majority that will exceed 6.000. Twenty-four counties give Smith I a majority of 3.614. In the contest for court of appeals ■ Judges John Pelham and J. B. Brown, I incumbents, have been re-elected. The ■ third place on the bench lies between Charles R. Bricken, of Luverne, and W. W Whiteside, of Anniston. The vote in i twenty-four counties in this race fol lows: Pelham. 22,689; Brown, 22,loo; , Bricken. 17,377; Whiteside. 16.204; Knight. 14,845; Bonner. 13,962. The election of John, H. Wallace, Jr., •as state game and fish commissioner, and Judge John C. Anderson, as chief ! justice of the supreme court, were as , -ured Tuesday night.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, MAY 16, 1916 Great Guns Will Enclose the Metropolis in Two Forty- Mile "Dead Lines" Against Any Invasion NEW’ YORK. May 13. —New York is to be new Gibraltar! . Two mighty fortresses are to inclose the world’s ’ metropolis in forty-mile rings of inpregnability—circular •’dead lines” beyond which no hostile fleet could venture! One of these fortresses will be an. elaboration of the coast defense bat teries now planted at Sandy Hook. The other will be a new defensive work at Rockaway Point, near Coney Island. The new fortress, in conjunction with the Sandy Hook big guns, will make New York invincible from land as well as from the sea. For its great sixteen-inch guns, capa ble of sweeping any point within their circle, will command the adjacent ter ritory as far north as High Bridge and the New Jersey suburos beyond Newark! And all the Jersey coast beyond As bury Park as far south as Belmar will te within range oi one or both of New York’s twin forts! Twenty miles will be the effective range of the titanic guns to be mounted in these super-defenses. No mobile armament of any nation— no naval gun mounted on any dread nought-can equal their carrying ca pacity. Two entirely different types of am munition will be carried in the gigantic underground storehouses that will be hidden under these mammoth forts. There will be immense armor-piercing shells for use against possible naval at tack; shells that will crunch a foot of solid steel and reduce the most power ful battleships to scrap Iron. And there will be high explosive shells to beat off land attacks; shells that will kill all within hundreds of yards by the mere force of their con sion when they explode. Provision for this mightiest of the earth's fortresses is made in the for tifications bill recently introduced in the house by Representative Shirley. This bill carries an appropriation of 121,997.- 050 for preparedness. Postmaster Named WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14. ’Postmaster appointment; Hutching, Oglethorpe county, Ga., Early L.

There are times when mother or fath er feeds the youngsters something that they, know children should not have. iPerliaps it is some rich dessert, but more I often it is tea or coffee. It is better to have some delicious, I hot food-drink that you can take your self and feed to your children, conscious that it will help and strengthen, but never hurt them. A Yorkstate lady says: ”1 used cof fee many years in spite of the convic tion that it Injured my nervous system and produced my nervous headaches. While visiting a friend I was served with Postum and I determined to get a package and try it myself. The re sult was all that could be desired —a (delicious, finely flavored, richly color ed beverage. Since I quit coffee, Pos tum has worked wonders for me. | “My husband, who had suffered from kidney trouble when drinking coffee, quit the coffee and took up Postum with me and since drinking Postum he has felt stronger and better, with no indication of kidney trouble. "You may be sure I find it a great comfort to have a warm drink at meals that I can give my children, with a clear conscience that it will help and not hurt them as coffee or tea would.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle (Creek, Mich. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal—the original form— must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pkgs. Instant POstum—a soluble powder— dissolves quickly In a cup of hot water, and. with cream and sugar, maxes a de licious beverage Instantly. 30c and 50c tins. Both forms are equally delicious and cost about the same per cup. "There’s a Reason” for Postum. —sold by Grocers.

LONDON, May 1?. —A Central News dispatch from Amsterdam says that Captain Karl Boy-Ed, formerly German naval attache at Washington, has been decorated with the order of the Red Eagle, third class, with swords, by the emperor. Captain Boy-Ed was appointed to Washington embassy December, 1911. After various charges had been made against him in regard to his connec tion with passport frauds, the equip ment of German commerce raiders .from this country and German intrigues in Mexico, President Wilson requested his recall. After the president had declined a request from Berlin to explain the reasons for the demand for Captain Boy- Ed's recall, the attache was ordered home December. The charges against Captain Boy-Ed continued after his departure from this country. In March of this year when Horst von der Goltz was arrested in New York in connection with the plot to blow up the Wellajid canal in Canada, he made a statement to the United States district attorney charging that Captain Boy-Ed had proposed an in vasion of Canada from this country.

CIRCUIT COURT SETS ASIDE SPEER'S SMITH ® RULING In Opinion Rendered Appeal Is Granted and Stay of Pro ceedings Issued Until Octo ber The United States circuit court of ap peals in an opinion handed down Friday morning, granted application for an ap peal In the fight for the two-and-a-half milllon dollar estate of James M. Smith and granted a stay of proceedings dur ing the pendency of the appeal which will be heard at the regular term of the circuit court of appeals in October. The order directs that the receivers appointed last week by United States District Judge Emory Speer at Macon, who only recently took over from the temporary administrators the homestead and property at Smithsonia of the mil lionaire. return the property to the ad ministrators appointed by the ordinary of Oglethorpe county. The opinion in no way determines the question of jurisdiction of the United States court. In the opinion, is a clause that because of doubt of the jurisdiction of, the United States court, the order granting a stay of proceedings and the temporal removal at least of the Unit ed States court receivers be passed. The opinion is accepted by the Zadok Smith claimants and the temporary ad ministrators, who filed the application for an appeal and stay of proceedings, as being a significant point in their favor. BONDS ARE FIXED. The temporary administrators are put under bond of >5,000 each. The bond of the receivers appointed by Judge Speer had been fixed at $500,- 000, under which the receivers had quali fied several days before assuming charge on last Tuesday. Attorneys, representing factions of claimants other than the Zadok Smith side, after the opinion had been handed down. In discussions raised the point as to whether the United States court of appeals had the jurisdiction to decide the right of the United States district court to assume jurisdiction in the case. There were strong intimations that there might be an appeal to the United States supreme court from the opinion of the United States circuit court of ap peals. This conference will probably be resumed later Friday. Should such an appeal be filed an application, similar to the one filed before the circuit court of appeals to stay the proceedings and restore to the receivers the temporary management of the estate, would be asked, it is said. ADMINISTRATORS LEAVE, The temporary administrators, with Attorney Hamilton McWhorter, one of their leading counsel, left Atlanta early Friday afternoon for Smithsonia to take charge of the estate as soon as they could furnish bond and qualify. The administrators are David W. Meadows, Nat D. Arnold, F. P. Holder, A. C. Er win, J. C. Mitchell and L. K. Smith. The receivers appointed by Judge Speer are C. H. Phlnlzy, R. L. Moss and John R. White, all business men oi Athens. Barrelless Gun, U. S. Invention, May Stop PPars WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.—Pow derless, noiseless, smokeless, barrelless, a marvelous new type of gun is to be tried out at Fort Hancock, near New York; promises to revolutionize war fare and is sponsored by a woman! These claims are made for the gun: It will shoot anything from doughnuts to dynamite, can be operated by an un trained man or woman, its aim is more accurate than that of ordinary guns. It can be built in machine shops at a fraction of the cost of weapons of the present type, it takes up little room; a model carried in a three-foot cubic box will shopt seven or eight miles. Mrs. Kathryn M. Stanton, of White stone, L. 1., is the "anger* of the gun’s inventor. A friend, knowing her inter est in preparedness, brought him to her, and, although skeptical at first, she finally rented a shop in New York and personally superintended the construc tion of the first gun. Her husband, Frank McMillan Stan ton, mining engineer, influenced the gov ernment to test the invention. The first model tested worked so well officials asked Mrs. Stanton to build a larger one—a really destructive gun. The new gun is nearly ready for test. The inventor, whose name Mrs. Stan ton says she is not permitted to di vulge. is a naturalized American, and known in technical circles.
