PLANS ABE OFFERED TO MAKE
AMERICUS A TOURISTS’ CENTER
Central of Georgia Offers to Cooperate
-Only Golf Links are Needed to
Supplement Hotel Facilities—Board
of Trade to Secure Publicity.
Americus will yet become a center
tor tourists. Plans are now under
cnosideration for the accomplishment
of this end.
While Assistant General Ticket
Agent F. G. Robinson and District
Passenger lAgent John W. Blount, of
the Central of Georgia, were in the ■
city yesterday, they were taken out to
see the Country Club and the golt
links by Messrs. Crawford Wheatley i
and Clarence J. White, president and 1
secretary of the Board of Trade.
It is the purpose of Mr. Robinson,
if the Country Club will enlarge the
golf links and place them in first
class condition, to insert photographs
of the links and the Windsor hotel ia
the next tourist book that is issued
by the railway. Good hotel facilities
and golf links are absolute necessities
to attract tourists.
“Local hotel facilities are excellent,”
said Mr. Robinson in speaking of the
plan to furnish publicity to Americus
in the campaign to attract tourists.
‘There is no better hotel in the state
than the one in Americus, which is
still being improved.
“It is necessary, however, in order
to attract tourists in any number to
have ready for them first class links
in order that they may secure the out
of-door recreation that they desire.
The Country Club is as neat and at
PRESIDENT DIAZ
MUST NOT SERVE
This Will Be Proposition for
Peace Commissioners
El Paso, Texas., April 28.—When
the official peace commissioners, as
yet unnamed, get together here, it
is probable that there will be at least
one difficult matter left for them to
settle if they can, and that is the
length of time President Diaz is to re
tain his seat after hostilities cease.
General Madero at first proclaimed
that Diaz must resign at once, bat
later stated that he would not insist
on the president’s immediate retire
r> ent. It is known privately, however,
that he informed members of his
family that neither he nor his under
officers could consent to the presi
dent filling out his present term,
which has five years more to run.
Extends Armistice.
El Paso, Texas, April 28.—Fran
cisco 1. Madero today agreed to an
extension of the armistice for another
five days, while peace is discussed.
Mexico City has already agreed to
the extension.
M’NAMARA ASKS PUBLIC
TO SUSPEND JUDGMENT
Issues Statement in Which
He Asserts His innocence
I.os Angelas, April 28.—. John ).
McNamara, secre'ary and treasurer
of the Internatlqjnal Bridge and
Structural Ironworkers’ Association
gave his first authorized statement as
to his arrest to the Associated Press
today. The statement follows:
"To the Brotherhood of Organized
Labor in California and the United
States:
“In this second attempt to crush
and discredit the cause we represent,
I realize fully the desperation of the
enemies of labor arrayed against us,
hut I am of good heart, for it will
fail.
“That I am innocent of any infract
tion of the law, in word or act, needs
no emphasis from me, for the truth
is mighty, and will prevail right
speedily; and for it I shall contented
ly wait.
“I send to all brothers and friends
of union labor, the world over, my
earnest and affectionate greetings,
with the assurance that there is no
villany or conspiracy possible of
which we are afraid.
“I am also confident that it is not
asking too much of the public to sus
pend judgment in these matters until
opportunity for a full and fair de
fense has been afforded.
(Signed.) “JNO. J. M'XAMi.YRA.”
Four reels at the Bijou today, in
cluding two Western pictures; also
two full reels of comedy. This will
make the longest program the man
agement of the new theatre has put
on. The two Western pictures are the
best that, have been released in a
long time. The entire performance
will last for more than an hour. Ad
mission 10c and 15c.
i tractive a club house as could be de
sired, while all the ground necessary
1 for enlarged golf links seems to be
I available.
J “We will take pleasure in inserting
j photographs and short reading no
tices of the hotel and golf links in
our forthcoming tourists’ publication,
if the golf links are made available.
The hotel facilities alone are not suf
ficient, as tourists demand golf links
for recreation. As it is often difficult
in the smaller cities for golf enthus
iasts to have a competent instructor,
we are willing to endeavor to have
some one to come to Americus from
(Savannah for perhaps a week’s stay m
! order to instruct those members of
the club who wish to learn golf.”
The matter of fulfilling the condi
tions named by the railroad company
so that Americus may be given a defi
nite place on the tourists’ map has
been taken under consideration by the
Board of Trade, which hopes to secure
such co-operation from those concern
ed as will insure the success of the
movement. Americus and iSumter
county have as excellent roads as any
tourists can demand. It is only neces
sary that the other condition be met
in order to gain the publicity offered
by the Central of Georgia.
The necessity of advertising Ameri
cus is felt all the more in the light of
recent developments as regards the
highway question, dt is believed that ,
Americus by gaining this publicity may
obtain not only the tourists who come
by the new highway, but also those
who travel by the National Highway.
SENATE ORGANIZED AND
READY FOR BUSINESS
List of Committees of Both
Parties Adopted
Washington, April 28. —The senate
formally organized for business to
day by adopting the list of appoint
ments to committees drawn up by the
majority of both parties. The ex
pected fight against the adoption of
the lists threatened hv the progres
sive republicans did not develop.
Senator F>aFollette contented himself
by reading a formal protest against
the selections made by the regular
republicans.
The I-aFollette statement, which
was prepared at a conference of the
thirteen insurgents, Senator Kenyon
the new senator from Oiwa, having
joined the original twelve, set forth
at some length the growth of the so
called progressive movement in the
republican party. It asserted that
the progressive republicans entertain
marked and well-defined iwifferenccs
of opinion with the regulars; that the
progressives have more than one
fourth of the republican membership
in the senate and they have become
a “settled and established factor in
political history.”
Beginning with Saturday, April 20,
and continuing during the summer
months, we will close our freight ware
house at noon each Saturday, by au
thoj ity of Railroad Commission of
Georgia.

Did You Ever Stop
to Reason it Out?
How many friends of yours wear
ready-to-wear clothes made by Stein

of them do. DO YOU?
You ought to. You cannot give a single
valid reason why you ought not to, as far as
fit, as style, workmanship and above all, val

your clothes problem. Stop to reason it out
and stop in to try on a fresh new Stein-Bloch

REAPPORTIONMENT BILL
IS PASSED BV HOUSE
Increase Membership to 433.
Georgia Makes Gain
Washington, April 2S.—The re-ap
■ portionment biil reported by Chair
man Houston, of the Committee on
Census, which passed the house yes
terday afternoon, is practically the
same as the Crtimpacker bill, which
passed the house last session. How
ever, the democrats struck out the sec
tion giving the secretary of commerce
and labor authority to make re-ap
portionments ten years hence and
thereafter.
With a house of 433 members ter
states will make gains of one each—
Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia,
Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon,
Rhode island, South Dakota, Utah and
West Virginia; California 3; Illinois
2; Massachusetts 2; New Jersey 2;
New York 6; Oklahoma 2; Pennsyl
vania 4; Texasc 2, and Washington 2.
Representative Houston, of Tennes
see, author of the bill, opened the de
bate wiith an analysis of the measure
and Representative Jones, of Wiscon
sin, spoke next in opposition.
Representative Crtimpacker, of In
diana, author of the re-apportionment,
bill which passed the house last ses
sion and that was practically identical
with the Houston bill, supported the
hill.
Representative Small, of North Car
olina, aligned himself against the
measure.
GRAND JURY INDICTED
AUGUSTA SALOONISTS
Result of Agitation Led By
Ministers
August, Ga., April 28.—As a re
sult of investigations by the grand
jury which is now in session, whole
sale raids were made on the saloons
in the central part of the city yester
day afternoon and night. The pro
prietors of eighteen saloons, which
Dy the way, are each paying the city
SI,OOO per year as a license, were
screed with warrants and made to
give bond for their subsequent ap
pearance in court. The saloons were
not i aided to the extent of seizing
activity by the grand jury came as a
result of the agitation created uy
local ministers and the Law ond Or
der league, who have demanded the!
enforcement of the prohibition law.
The Law and Order League had j
watchers in front of twenty or more j
saloons, taking down the name of!
every person seen to enter those j
places. Those persons were later j
summoned by the grand jury and
upon their evidence the warrants
against the saloon poprietors were |
issued. It is stated that at least ten
affidavits against each saloon were
secured by the grand jury. The
cases will be prosecuted vigorously
when they come to trial. If heard
in the City court Solicitor Black will
represent the state, and if in the Su
perior court the state’s interests will
he looked after by Solicitor Reynolds.
It is the general belief that much
good will come of this spasm of re
form.
