ROOSEV:LT HAS LOST POWER
IN OPINION OF SENATOR
» E. P. GORE.
et
¢ Dublin, Ga., Feb. 21.__That Roose
welt will hardly be the nominee of the
Republicans this year, but Hughes, is
zhe opinion expressed by Senator T.
¥. Gore, the blind Senator from Okla
homa, here today, Senator Gore
spent Sunday. and today in Dublin
after lecturing at the winter festival
Saturday night.
“Roosevelt will never be able to
stampede the Republican convemtion
to himself,” he said in discussing the
matter. “In my opinion, he has a
«<hance to be nominated, but I do not
say that he willl. He made a mistake
Dy not allowing his name to be used
in the primaries in many states where
he could have got a good bunch of
delegates and he will never be able to
get anything by threatening the Re
publicans as h intends doing Hughes
18 a man acceptable both to the stand
pat Republicans and the Roosevelt
following, and will in all probability
be the nominee.
Asked about democratic prospects
this year he stated: “The general situ
ation is good for the Democrats. The
people are prosperous and Wilson has
‘the support of the people as a whole
There are two disturbing factors,
however, the German vote, which was
decidedly displeased with Wilson’s
message to Congress in December and
which is just now an unknown force.
“The other is the Catholic and anti
€atholic factions, The Catholics are
very bitter over the recogintion of
Carranza in Mexico and the anti-
Catholic faction is also at outs with
the administration. Just how much
‘their votes will mean-in the election
b one can say at present.”
In Jdiscussing preparedness the
Senator took the position that this
country does not need such a great
programme on this line except pos
sibly in naval construction and coast
defense and instead of increasing the
standing army he would favor mili
tary training in the high schools of
the country.

Washington Februry 21.—American
consular representatives in China, par

structed to gather full information of
the removal of thirty-eight Germans
from the American steamer China on}
the high seas last week. ‘
It was said at the state department
that when full information was at
hand a note probably would be ad
dressed to Great Britain, such as was
sent to France when the cruiser Des

from American ships near Porto Rico
recently. France released the men
and instructed her naval commanders
not to make any more such seizures.

Sixty men in the building when the
flames sprang up go out safely. The

Recently a petition was made to
Governor Nt. E. Harris for permis
sion to file, in the name of the State
of Georgia, a suit for the cancellation
of a deed from the Atlanta, Birming
ham & Atlantic Railway Company to
the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic
Railroad Company, in which the line
of railroad from Ocilla to Irwinville
was sold at a price of One Dollar
it being contended that the convey
ance was contrary to the Statutes, and
was therefore void. This permission
was granted by the Governor, and
last week a suit was filed in the name
of the State of Georgia, in the Su
perior court of Irwin county, asking
for the cancellatién of the deed men
tioned, and that the Atlanta Birming
ham & Atlantic Railway Company be
required to operate this line of rail
road. ’
There has been considerable dis
pute between the parties along the
line of road, and the owners of the
road, as to service, The Ocilla South
‘lease. and after the leasetasoihrdlu
ern Railroad Company, for several
years, operated the road under a lease,
and after the lease of th Ocilla South.
rn expired the receiver of the Atlanta,
Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad
Company rfused to operate the road
claiming that he did not have suf
ficient funds to repair the property,
or to operate it, in that it could only
be operated at a loss to the company.
Upon the reorganization of the At.
lanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Rail
road Company the name was changed
to the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic
lßailway Company, and all of the
property of the former company was
taken over by the Atlanta, Birming
ham & Atlantic Railway Company,
and they would, therefore, he required
to operate this line. After this re
organization and taking over of the
entire system of the Atlanta, Birming
ham & Atlantic Railroad Company,
the oficers of the new corporation
asked permission of the United States
court which appointed the receiver
of the defupnct company, to sell this
particular line from Ocilla to Irwin
ville back to the defunct Atlanta, Bir
mingham & Atlantic Railroad Com
pany, This left the line of railroad
ten miles long with the entire debt of
the old Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlan
tic Railroad Company on it, and no
one to operate it.
The hearing i the petition #ired
Isat wee is set for the 4th iyt
March before Judge Walter F.
George, at Vienna, Ga. There is lit
tle doubt but that Judge George will
grant the relief prayed for in the pe
tition, and require this line of rail
road to be operated by its true owner.
