Columbus, Ga., Dec. 29.—A bombless
night, a quiet day but tense and vigi
lant in every department of law en
forcement, both city and county, a
succeeding night that began normally
enough and an extraordinary session
of the Muscogee county grand Jury,
initiated yesterday afternoon to take
cognizance of threatened lawless
facts, were the sequel to Wednesday')
sensation in Columbus when a plot to
dynamite homes of five commissioners
and other property, was bared.
Special officers who had been
duty Wednesday night looked like
walking arsenals as they returned
from their long vigil, and new watch-
have gone on, the authorities not
relaxing their vigilance, as the infor
mation they had received convinced
them that a murderous plot of the most
desperate character had been formed,
and that the outlaws and others who
formed -he gang were determined
carry out their program of destruction
if they had opportunity. They consid
er the situation serious, and while
they do not reveal the sources of their
Information, yet their own attitude In
this matter has made Us Impression
pn citizens generally, as the commis
sioners are persons of a type not given
to hysterics or exaggeration.
Up to this hour there has not been
the slightest disorder of consequence
.The last crime, the slaying of Sidney
H. Odom, a suburban merchant, Tues
day night, remains a mystery so far
as the Identity of his assailants Is con
cerned, but it seems to have been a
plain case of attempted robbery, and
to have no connection with the whole
sale crime program planned by twelve
men In Rlverdale cemetery last Tubs
day night, and whose plotting Is known
In detail to the city authorities.
When the grand jury met yesterday,
Judge George P. Munro, in charging
the body, said that when be was in
formed Wednesday by city commis
sioners that there was evidence that
certain desperadoes had formed a con
spiracy to make an attack on the
homes of certain city officials, his
first thought was of the grand jury,
knowing that it could render prompt
and practical assistance in this emer
gency. Discussing the responsibilities
of grand Juries, he said he considered
Its functions as the most important
branch of the Jury system. The Judge
said this Jury would continue In ser
vice, subject to call, until a new grand
Jury was organized In February.
Following the judge's brief charge,
Frank G. Lumpkin, foreman of the
grand jury, said that the grand jury
as a body had been much mortified
at having a comparatively few of the
criminal element in Columbus adver
tise to the world that this apparently
lawless community, when really
this Is not true, the percentage of law
violations in this county being com-,
paratlvely small and not to be con-j
sldered as abnormal. Mr. Lumpkin;
stated that every step taken by the
grand jury In this situation is by 1
unanimous agreement of members of
the body. The grand Jury then went
Into private session. It is understood
that the body Is In possession of the;
names of twelve men alleged to have!
formed the party of plotters In River- 1
side cemetery. No Indictments were
returned yesterday, and it is under-;
stood that the grand Jury will consid-1
er the matter further before taking
action. There is popular conjecture
to whether the information received
by the city commissioners regarding
the plot to blow up property
extremely confidential in character
that it cannot be used in the
sworn testimony.

He suggests that Chancellor of the
Exchequer Baldwin, who is on his
way to the United Stat •, tell the
Washington government plainly that
he has coma to pay and like a bank
official, ask tha Americana “how thay

the Americans and not the British,
entering such an undertaking, it
would be suggested to the Americana
that “they should virtually, If not
formally recognise the British
promise to France, and makt it clear
how they would view any attempt by
Germany to disturb the peace of the
world and in particular foreshadow
the economic measures which they
would taka should Germany attack
Franca.”
These steps would pave the way te
