been released from custody in this
city on bond of $450. The preliminary
trial has been set for February 14.
When arrested, Marshall was in the
act of hoarding a train for Atlanta.'
. Shumate alleges that several days ago
! Marshall opened his (Shumate’s) va-

I longing to the company. He says he

g would not comply.
^ I Shuniate says Marshall was trying
to^oust him from his position as sec-

the prepldent wanted to install his
private secretary, F. V. Hulse, in Shu
mate’s place. Marshall resides at 231
West Peachtree street. For a long
time he was interested in the insur
ance business. Hulse made a state
ment for Marshall while the latter was
at policA headquarters yesterday. He
said the court proceedings grew out
of the fact that Marshall had taken
charge of books and papers of the
company as its president and that
Shumate sought to recover them.
Hulse said Shumate had been dis
charged by Marshall and that the ar
rest was the result of anger on the
I
part of Shumate.

FOR SERVICE IN THE FIELD,
BUT HIS HOLD ON THE
PEOPLE SEEMS TO BE
BROKEN.
Willemstad, Curacao, Feb. 9.— A
traveler arriving today said that Pres
ident Castro Is enlisting men through
out the republic and preparing for
war.
Information from the best sources
indicates that the people do not sup
port Castro. On all sides are heard
expressions of a wish to revolt and
overthrow the government when the
French blockade is declared.
A well-informed authority declares
that the troops will desert the colors,
as they are compelled to join the col
ors, voluntary enlistment being un
known in Venezuela. It Is doubted
whether CaBtro will be able to raise
more than 16,000 men who wilt take
the field with spirit.

To Negro Patient, Who
Died—Orderly’s jyy stake
Causes 'Atlanta. Nurse
to Lose Position.
8peclal to The Herald.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 9. — Because she
permitted a negro ‘orderly to admin
ister medicine to a negro patient, and
the patient died from the effects of
the wrong dose, Miss Pauline Kaphan,
on^q| the nurses at G^ady hospital,
has been.-discharged from service.
Miss Kaphan’s explanation was that
she was hurried and Instructed the or
derly to give one of the patients some
harmless food preparation. The ne
gro mistook the bottles and gave the
patient a powerful antiseptic. The pa
tient died soon after,
All this happened two weeks ago,
but only became public yesterday.
The death of the negro patient was
reported to the committee on medical
matters. The committee, after its in-\
vestigation, recommended that both
the nurse and'• the ' itfegro ^orderly be
dismissed from the, hospital. An ap
peal was made in’tjhe case, and was
considered by the hospital board of
trustees and the medical committee.
Both bodies voted for the dismissal
of the two hospital employes.
A member of the board is author
ity for the statement that a similar
blunder has not occurred at the hos
pital in the last thirteen years.
Dr. T. F. Brewster, superintendent
of the hospital, declines to give the
name of the patient who died. A
search of the burial permits at the
office of the boafd of health sheds no
light on the subject.

FRANCE AND GERMANY
ARE DRIFTING APART,
At Algeclras—Pessimistic Views Con
cerning Outcome of Conference.
Parts, Feb. 9.—Opinion concerning
the progress and final outcome of the
Algeclras conference has become
rather more pessimistic here In con
sequence, ol! the semi-official declara
tion that neither France nor Germany
will recede regarding the question of
the Moroc.’an police. Diplomats here
strongly support the French view re
garding the maintenance of the posi
tion of France In Morocco, arguing
that France must reject la the most
energetic manner any proposal for
International control, as otherwise
she will. lose everything for which
she has been contending. It Is con
sidered that a point has been reached
where further concessions on the
French side are Impossible. The oth
er powers have secured every point
claimed thus far, including the Integ
rity of Morocco and commercial equal
ity, and now France’s'turn has come
to claim her rights which were recog
nized lu principle before the confer
ence opened.

HUNDREDS OF FOREIGN LA
BORERS BEING BROUGHT
THROUGH ALBANY TO SUP
PLANT NEGRO LABOR.
Tho Central of Georgia passenger
train yosterdny afternoon was a
double-header witli flvo extra coaches,
and was olio of the few passenger
trains over brought Into tills city
which required two engines to draw
It. One of tho extra cars was tho de
layed sleeper from Atlanta that
Bliould have reached the city on tho
morning train. Two other of the extra
cars were filled with white laborers.
These laborers were on their way
from St. Louis to Apalachicola, Fla,
where they will engage In sawmill
work. There nre several large mills
at Apalachicola, and the labor prob
lem there, as In other localities, has
become a serious one. The negro la
bor has become utterly undependable
and has been .tho greatest drawback
to successful milling Ih the South.
The solution to whlck most of the
large mills ore rosortlng Is the Im
portation of foreign white laborers.
The laborors who passed through yes'-
terday woro foreigners, and praotlcal-
ly all the white labor which is being
brought Into this section Is foreign
labor.
Y&rdmaster Gilbert Informed a Her
ald’reporter .yesterday that It wpuld
be surprising to most people to ilearn-
just how much ot this white labor Is
being brought Into this section. He
said that lpst week 200 white laborers
were brought through Albany and
taken to Florals, Ala., to be employed
by the large sawmill at that point.
Mr. ,1. K. Pray, who has had the
logging contract for the Red Cypress
Lumber Co., at Pretoria, for a number
of years, and who is now superintend
ent of that large mill, lifts made suc
cessful use of white labor from Ihe
time he began that work, having
brought io Pretoria a large colony of
Swedes. Mr. Pray’s colony of Swedes
1ms attracted great attention from
mill men all over the South and the
success which has marked his efforts
along tills line lias, no doubt, largely
Influenced the present tendency to re
place the unreliable negro labor with
tile very efficient foreign white labor.
