Iutions of Sympaty by Macon Elks,
At JOiSS the Trlfftropli received
the following mmiKc from Mr. R.
J. Speer, ('nngrcnMiitnn Bartlett’s pri
vate necrctary:
“JiuIrc Ba rtlett aerlonaly 111 with
pleuro piieuntonia since Thursday.
Renting; more (juletly tonight. t'on-
dttlou* more favorable, but crisis
not yet paused.*?
That was the last Information re
ceived during; the nigjit.
The condition of Congressman Charles
I,. Bartlett caused much anxiety among
his friends in Macon yesterday, and as
on th>_* day before many telegrams were
exchanged with parties In "Washington
City relative to his Illness.
At 7 o'clock last evening Dr. Charles
H. Ilall, the family physician, left Mu-
con for Washington, In response to a
telegram from Airs. Bartlett. The tele
gram to the physician said: "Mr. Bart
lett is seriously 111 with pneumonia.
Please come to him.”
Dr. Hall interpreted this to mean that
Mrs. Bartlett was uneasy about her
husband, and felt that If she could have
her family physician with him he would
standi a better chance for recovering.
Besides being the family physician, Dr.
Hall has been a close personal friend
of Congressman Bartlett for a number
of years.
At s:07 o'clock last night Col. Robert
A. Nlsbet received the following mes
sage from Mrs. Bartlett, saying:
"Condition serious. Hope for favor
able change within forty-eight hours.**
The telephones In The Telegraph or-
fice were kept busy all during the night
answering questions from anxious in
quirers. who sought the latest from
tin* bedside.
Judge Bartlett’s quarters are at the
ltiggs house.
Last night the Macon lodge of Elks
passed the following resolutions, which
were wired to Mrs. Bartlett:

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5,—The day in
the house was devoted to the continua
tion of the discussion bf controverted
questions In connection with the postal
service. Mr. Griggs of Georgia spoke
against the organization of postal
ployes for forcing legislation; Mr.
Moody of Massachusetts discussed the
question of tAllway mall pay rrom toe
standpoint of a member of the Joint
postal commission; Mr. Bromwell of
Ohio assailed the appropriations for
special mail facilities from New York
to New Orleans. Mr. Bromwell declared
that the postmaster-general had
peatedly said that he did not desire the
appropriations, and only had used them
because congress made them.
Mr. Cittchlngw of Mississippi and Mr.
Meyer of Louisiana defended these ap-
proprla^ions as necessary • for the ex
pedition of the Southern mall. Air.

appropriation.

with her. I hope she will close up tho
aloons of the city. As an officer of the
aw, though, it is my duty to arrest her
very time she creates a disturbance
or destroys property. If we had tho
right kind of state officers it would not
be necessary for Mrs. Nation to do
what she is doing.”
There are reports of plots to hurt
Mrs. Nation. It was said that several

bottles with tremendous pressure sii .. , t ..

by these stories.
Today Mrs. Nation dictated an ap
peal ‘‘To the children of the high
schools of the United State?," In which
she urged children everywhere to
smash saloon windows with rocks.
When Mrs. Nation appeared in court
to answer thi* charges of "disturbing
the peace" and "smashing a Joint,” th *
first charge was dismissed. Notwith
standing the crusader demanded a
trial and a hearing on the second
charge and It way set for Thursday,

the crusader stood ar the railing. The
charge followed her iirr-st yesterday
after her fruitless attempt to wreck
the Unique restaurant.
"I object to the dismissal," exclaimed
Mrs. Nation. "I was arrested wrong
fully and deprived of my liberty."
To the charge of smashing a joint,
Mrs, Nation replied: "I plead guilty
that. I rather think I did smash it."
Emperor William was in the highest

hands all around.
King Edward was equally cheerful.

for wei-kM past. After an affcctlpimtc
farewell between the two monarefis the
train started out amid the playing of
the national anthem by the hand of the
Coldstream Guards and the cheers of
the people. King Edward came for
ward to take a final grip of Emperor
William's hand, which was held out of
a window. It was evident that no one
was better pleased at the day's pro-
ce< dings than the emperor Idmsclf.
