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 that the remarkable attitude of the 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.

BAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22,-The American Federation of Labor today overwhelming defeated a resolution, coming front tUe Socialistic element and Introduced by Ltd,gate Victor Ber ger. of the International Typographical union, recommending that the conven tion vote for n measure demanding the abolishing of the militia as It notv ex 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 own home. The advocates of th 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 the Socialists, calling for the pension ing of all workers after they had reached tho age of 60 also was defeat ad by a large vote. SUTTON CASE. NEW YORK. Nov. 22.—Suit has been brought by Paul Fuller of this city against Thomas W. Lawson of Boston for *360.000. Mr. Fuller, who Is an at torney. said that he himself waa the plaintiff In the suit, hut as to the na ture of the proceeding or Its causa, he declined to have anything to say. It was reported that Mr. Lawaon’a re cent writings had caused the bringing the suit, but this was denied by Mr. Fuller. Fuller Is a member of the law firm of Condert Bros. Lorenxo Semple, of the same firm, said that suit was over n private transac tion between Lawson and Fuller and hyd nothing to do with the Boston man's writings. 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. Continue* on Papa Two.

The finding of elx negroes armed with‘shotguns on the outskirts of the city today shows there is an ugly feel tng among a certain element of the negroea which may lead to clashes with whites However, negro preach era and the better claea of colored peo pie are doing their utmont to keep down the race feeling, deploring the acta of the murderers and counselling deference to the whites. The funeral of Moore took place to day. It waa marked by no excitement Authorities believe that the feeling will soon subside and that the men will then be brought back here trial. Tha preliminary hearing of tho no groes today was the cause of much ex eltement. They were taken to the court house about 11 o’clock In a pa trol wagon, guarded hy twelve police men. A Urge crowd had gathered the Jail and the streets were lined with shouting people. The patrol wagon was driven at breakneck speed to the court house, where after a pro llmlnary hearing the negroea were held to the grand Jury. The same exciting scene attended the return of the ne groes to Jail. The doors of the Jail were open when the patrol wagon re turned and the negroea were literally thrown through the entrance and the doors slammed in the fare of the mob which surged around the place. Many threats of lynching werf heard. Courtesies From Japs. MEXICO CITY.

MONTANA METEOR. 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.
