Discussion Was Very Heated
Anions tho Members
JEMISON • CASE AGAIN
Resolutions Were Passed and Recon
sidered and Finally There Waa Pro
test Made Against th6 Federal Court
as to the Release of Prisoners from
the County Chaingang.
Last night’s session of the city coun
cil of Macon proved one of the most
stormy In the history of thls^body.
The beginning of the discussion was
near the close of the session when Al
derman Jones introduced the following
resolution:
The Resolution.
‘•Whereas In a stenographic report
published In the newspapers of this
city, the judge of the federal court
most Improperly designates the recent
deliberations of this body as “Mount
ings Around.”
“Be It resolved. That this body deep
ly deplores the unbecoming and scur
rilous reference to the official actions
of its members, but will insist upon
the right of free thought, plain speech
and proper criticism of matterk affect
ing the citizens of this city; It being
the Inalienable right of every Ameri
can citizen to speak what he thinks.”
Two aldermen, Messrs.! Jones and
Massee, were Immediately on their feet
to move the passage of this resolution
when read by Clerk Massenberg. A
second was quick to follow and the
resolution went to a vote without dis
cussion. The vote was taken and the
resolution passed.
While Alderman Jones was on his
feet attempting to have read another
resolution touching upon the writs of
habeas corpus before the body. Al
derman Chestney arose, and stated that
he voted against the measure. Al
derman Redmond askeu if but one side
had been put.
At this point the city attorney came
In and tried to get the floor, but the
alderman who was trying to get a sec
ond resolution passed objected and the
attorney retired. The second resolu
tion was placed In tho hands of the
clet*. arid was read. This was as fol
lows:
The Resolution.
•Whereas It is known to this body

federal court In reference to prisoners
Correlle, Russian War Nurse, is
Hunting for Missing Lovor
CHE FOO, Nov. 22.—A romantic
story develops around Miss Corelle.
the Russian war nurse, who Is on her
way to Japan. She refuses to talk,
but a reliable authority sa?s her cap
ture by the Chinese bandits who took
her into the Japanese lines was part
of her scheme to find her lover. The
first reports said Miss Corelle had vol
untarlly entered the Japanese lines.
This now seems to be Incorrect. Miss
Corelle. it Is now said, was a nurse
during the Boxer rebellion and won
the Stanislaus medal. During that
war she was wounded In the arm and
received the St. George medal because
she continued to work when her wound
was dressed. She Is a remarkably
handsome woman of 21 years.
A young Russian officer fell In love
with the pretty nurse, who reciprocated
his affection fully. Recently this of
ficer was among the missing and i»
was believed he was wounded or a
prisoner among the Japanese. In or
der to find him It Is alleged Miss Cor
elle strolled from the Ruslan camp and
very cheerfully allowed some Chinese
bandits to capture her. This was
about ten days ago. The next step In
her scheme was to become a Japanese
prisoner or reach their lines. The
bandits. It is asserted, allowed her to
communicate with the French consul at
New Chwang, following which a de
tail of Japanese soldiers reached their
camp and Miss Corelle was taken to
New Chwang. 8he tried to secure per
mission to go to Japan and search for
her lover but the Japanese gave her
24 hours In which to leave the town,
suspecting her of being a spy. The
French consul at Che Foo Is now en
deavoring to obtain permission for Miss
Corelle to nurse the wounded Russians
In Japan.

coming front tUe Socialistic element
and Introduced by Ltd,gate Victor Ber
ger. of the International Typographical
union, recommending that the conven

ists. The resolution called for tho
substitution of the system now In vo
gue tn SwItlSrwnd. where every man
hears an arm. but each Individual la
permitted to Ite.-n the weapon In his

measure maintained that If member
of the militia knew that workingmen
were ready to shoot back there woull
be no usurpation "t rights upon the
part of the military. The resolution
was defeated after an hour's debate.
A measure, likewise Intro,lueed by

ture of the proceeding or Its causa, he

cent writings had caused the bringing

BERTH UNOCCUPIED.
sentenced from the recorder’s court :»
a growing menace to tile iience and
welfare of this city and the safety of
the persona and property of Its etti-
gens, •
"Therefore, be It resolved. That the
attorney for the city be and la hereby
authorized to uae all proper means to
secure an Immediate review of each
and every case In which the federal
court seeks to discharge by writ of
habeas corpus persons sentenced by the
recorder's court of this city."
A motion was as quickly secured for
tha passage of this resolution and there
won considerable discussion. Aider-
man Jones asserted that all the writs
of habeas corpus ought to be tried sep
arately In the federal court because It
became possible by the action of the
court in the css. of lost week to lib
erate every prisoner sent up hy the
recorder before twelve o'clock tomor
row.
Alderman Maaaee wanted to express
himself In favor of hearing the cases
separately and said Alderman Jones
waa right.
Alderman Chestney stated that
would not be well to take the action
about to be followed In the adoption of
the resolution and said It would not
be well to handle anybody's name.
Mr. Jonas’ Remark,.
Alderman Jones waa up In a moment.
"I can criticise Judge Speer as well as
he can criticise Mayor Smith,
making a play," be asserted. In hot re
joinder. "His action towarda the city
of Macon is the worst that has hap
pened since the days of reconstruction.
It Is plain that he wants an appoint-
mentefrom Roosevelt. Didn't he re
lease one of our negroes juat after
Roosevelt was nominated, and dldn'i
he release another soon after he waa
elected? He is making a play before
the man who sat down to his own ta
ble and' dined with one of these blacks
with whom we are now finding so
much trouble.”
The City Attorney.
When Alderman Jones sat down a re
quest was mads by Alderman Happ for
a hearing from the city attorney. Mr.
Wimberly on being called said Judge
Speer did not say anything about the
mayor and the board of aldermen or
the council tn the hearing of the court
last week. He also said that it would
pot appear dignified for the aldermen
to take exceptions to whqt Judge Speer
had said. He said the remarka were
not personal In the federal court and
thought council would be unwise In
passing a resolution of the character
then under discussion.
•1 am a citizen of Macon, and have a
perfect right to take exceptions," re
plied Alderman Jonas.
"Judge Speer Is entitled to the re
spect of this body." said the attorney.
"HU statmenu did not refer to council
or this board of aldermen."
Alderman Jones asked If tho court
was dignified tn the expression "mouth
ing.’'
The city attorney further explained
the action of setting aside the hearing
on the writ of habeas corpus last week
ss saving the city the expense of a tri
al of three or four day* In court. He
stated that thU was the best that
could be done before the Jamison case
came up on the appeal to tho euprem
court In Washington.

Lawson's Statement.
BOSTON, Nov. 22.—Mr. Lawson to
night Issued n signed statement,
which, however, beyond the Inferenco
contained in tho opening sentence,
throws little light upon the origin or
nnture of the suit or suits brought
against him.
In conclusion Mr. Lawson refers to
pressure being brought at Washington
an effort to exclude from tho malls
his writings on finance. He expresses
the opinion .that such a proceeding
ould not be permitted by the postal
authorities.
The statement in part follows:
“In regard to the suits and rumors
suits, civil nnd criminal, brought and
be brought against me by ’Standard
I,' tho Insurance companies and In
dividuals. because of my story 'Fren
zied Finance,’ I can slmfdy say:
Will Fight to a Finish,
“ ’Bring them along, one and all,
and I will be found on hnnd prepared
give battle to a finish, giving no
odds or mercy nnd asking for none.'
have been telling a few mw
truths, and In this age of dollars no
man will be allowed to distribute
truths about financial rascality with
out paying the price. My truths are
Mg ones nnd I suppose the price will
be equally big. but the American peo
ple may rest easy thnt whatever the
price I’ll pny It and not ask any sym
pathy for doing so. and they can rest
eaay about another fact: TU make
those who have been plundering the
people during the past ten years pay
price to which mine will nppenr like
tight shoe compared with the In
quisitorial racks of the dark ages.’
"Let the American people make no
mistake. Twelve o'clock Is Just being
struck at the whlle-you-WAlt factory
where multl-mlllioalres have been
turned out from the raw material, and
unless I miss my guess it will take
more court trials than there are In
America to drown the ominous sound
of that high noon bell.”

HUNTINGTON. W. Va., Nov. 22.—
The settlement across the Big Sandy
river from YorkvUJe has been the scene
of a fatal feud between the ramlly of
John Wallace and the Curry brothers.
The Currys demanded liquor at Wal
lace's snlooon lost night but were re
fused because, itAs.ktWJa, they were
already Intoxicated: The Hurry broth
ers then began shooting and Wallace
dosed his saloon. /
* Later the Currys and others went to
Wallace's home nnd dared Wallace to
come out. When Mrs. Wallace told

crowd broke In the windows, whereup
on Mrs. Wallace fired, fatally wound
ing Thomas Curry. The crowd then

nnd seising a young brother of Mrs.
Wallace they bound him hand nnd foot
nnd laid his head on a log. It is said
