W. Osborne, of Savannah, represent

•when there Is physical connection with
the Central of Georgia, and It le a paTt
of the same system. The freight upon
which the complaint was based was
brought from Augusta and when It
reached Savannah an additional
charge of $2 was made for transporta
tion to Tybee, a distance of about six
teen miles, on the ground that it was
a switching charge. The commission

Secretary Cook Will Impose Fine.
ATLANTA. June 12.—Secretary of
State Phillip Cook today Issued notice
to the corporations doing business In
the State to the effect that unless they
paid their registration fee and com
piled with tho registration law of 1906.
a tine of $50 would be entered against
them and execution. Issued for that
amount.
The hooks for the registration Of
corporations are now open, and any
■who want blanks for such registration
may obtain them upon application to
the Secretary of State. The Secre
tory of State has not heretofore en
forced the fine of $50 which is pro
vided for In tho act because the law
was a new one and It has taken some
time for the corporations to familiar
ize themselves with It. Lately, how
ever. there has been apparent Inactiv
ity on the part of the corporations In
complying with the law, and ho has
given notice that It Is going to be en
forced.
Central American leaders to maintain
In good faith, the agreements that they
have made in the past, the State de
partment officials here as well as those
in Mexico have about reached the con
clusion to abstain for a time at lea.’t
from any Interfence in Central Ameri
can affairs where our horn- Interests
are not directly affected. To conserve
the.-e interests in the present instance,
the sstnte department will request the
navy depa-hment to return some of the
smaller crullers and gunboats to the
scene of the disturbance to look after
foreign interests.
To make sure of the facts, the State
depart mem addressed a cablegram to
American Minister Men;, a' Pat: Sal
vador and has received this dispatch:
"A Nicaraguan vessel from their
principal port (undoubtedly meaning
Corinto) yesterday landed troops at
Acajutla for general revolutionary pur
poses.”
Spencer, who were In tho Virginia
Beach Hotel near Norfolk at the time
it burned, returned to Atlanta today.
Mrs. Bovd said the guests of the ho
tel had an exceedingly narrow escape
from death, and had it not been for
the prompt action on the part of an
artillery' sergeant, who was awakened
an hour before tho time set for him to
be called, there would probably have
been a terrible holocaust. Several
brides lost their entire trousseaus.

Tomorrow, It Is pretty well assured
ihat the prison commission will refuse

mlsslon have gone thoroughly Into
this case from both sides, and while it
lias been a difficult one. on account of
the element of doubt brought Into It

penalty should be executed. A formal
decision to that effect is expected from

NEW ORLEANS. La., June 12.—Of
ficial cognizance that a dangerous
Black Hank organization exists in New
Orleans was taken today by the Pro
gressive Union, the most influential
commercial body in the city, compris
ing a membership of nearly 2.000 busi
ness men. President G-odchnux, of the
union. Issued a call to members to at
tend a mass meeting tonight which had
been called by wealthy New Orleans
Italians In protest against the Black
Hand. This call was precipitated by
tho supposed kidnaping of eight-year-
old Walter Lamana, last Saturday
night and the subsequent demand for
$6,000 ransom from 'his father, a well-
to-do Italian undertaker. Mr. Lamana
went yesterday to Kenner, La., osten
sibly to pay the ransom money and
obtain bis boy. He returned alone.
Several years Ago New Orleans was the
scene of such serious Italian disorders
that it is propsoed to run no risk of
their recurrence.
At tonight's meeting about twenty
of the city's wealthiest Italians were
constituted a committee of publicity
and protection. Their object is to in
duce their countrymen to reeval what
ever they know of crime of any sort
and to protect those who give such in
formation. The committee will act in
conjunction with the police.
Both the cotton nnd stock exchanges
at a meeting today offered their sup
port to the Italian movement.
I Am Positively in
Race” Says Moore
A new turn has been taken which
very materially alters the general out
look for fie mayoralty campaign
which will soon be tho main theme for
discussion in Macon.
Mayor Bridges Smith has retired
from the face, Mr. John T. Mo Ore haa
entered. Judge A. L. Miller is still on
the track, and Mr. W. H. Sloan is
considering the question of entering for
the mayoralty derby.
Last Monday Mayor Bridges Smith
addressed a letter to Judge A. L. Mil
ler. proposing that both retire from the
contest for the sake of harmony, and
the judge, who was out of town at tho
time, replied yesterday, refusing to
consider the proposition.
Mayor Smith in his letter pointed out
the reasons why he thought it would be
best for both to withdraw, but Judge
Miller stated that he proposed to re
main unshaken li> his determination to
run for mayor.
Having. it is understood, a business
offer which suits the Mayor's taste?,
he decided after thinking it over last
night, to give up municipal politics
after his term expires in January next.
Th» Mayor Retires.
He then penned and sent to The
Telegraph office the following card:
MONTGOMERY. Ala., June 12.—
The State ceased business today to
mourn the death Of Senator Morgan.
The tlag on the Capitol is half-mast
and the governor has issued a proc
lamation reciting the Senator’s vir
tues. his service to the State and
long public career. The death of the
Senator was reported to the governor
by Senator Pettus. his colleague. By
primary last summer ex-congressman
J. H. Bankhead was nominated for
any vacancy that might occur by
death or incapacity of either of the
Senators. This endorsement is for ap
pointment to an unexplred term and
does not apply to an election, ae the
platfotm of the primary stipulates
that such appointment would bo only
to the next regular or adjourned term
of the Legislature.
Many prominent men are mentioned
for election by the Legislature which
assembles In July. It hns been sug
gested hat the name of Governor Co
mer might be presented. There is,
howevey.a constitutional provision pro
hibiting the election of any man while
governor for a year after he retires
from the governorship.

TO PEOPLE OF MACON
To the People of Macon:
For nearly eight years the people of
the city of Macon have trusted me

are bqlng shipped into the State In
violation Of the Georgia State law on
As a result of this Information a con
ference has been called to meet in the
office of the Commissioner of Agriculture,
at which time these charges will be In
vestigated. ,
Called to attend this meeting are As
sistant Commissioner of Agriculture R. F.
Wright. State Entomologist R. L Smith
and Attorney-General J. C. Hart.
In addition to These there will be railed
In those members of the association who
have knowledge of these Illegal shipments
Into the State.
In speaking of this matter Capt. Wrjght
said: "It is most important that this in
vestigation be thorough and steps taken
to confiscate those shipments of hulls
under suspicion In order that there may
be no spread of this post in Geor
gia.
"These hulls are snld to cOmo Into this
State from that part of Toxns where the
boll weevil is known to exist, and this
is in defiance of the Geor:la boll weevil
law on this subject. As these hulls aro
tinder the ban they are. of course, on the
market much cheaper than the hulls In
Georgia and would doubtless find a ready
sale.
"In order to protect the dairymen who
feed this brand of food to their cattle
and the cotton seed oil mills against
the delivery of cotton seed which might
affect the cotton seed oil Industry, this
boll weevil law was passed In 1905 and is
being rigidly enforced.
"Tho Stnte Entomologist and Attorney
General will proceed at once against anv
violators of this Georgia statute."

WASHINGTON, D. C. f June 12.—
Secretary Wilson again was on the
witness stand today in the trial of E.
S. Holmes, Jr. Has questioned con
cerning his alleged promises to sup
press information given him at the
time of Holmes dismissal from the ser
vice of the department of agriculture.
•Regarding the formal statement
given out by the witness at the time
Holmes was dismissed. Secretary Wil
son said he did not make the state
ment which was signed by him, but
that it was the report of the secret
service people who investigated the
Holmes ease. He declared that he had
made no arrangements or pledge with
Broker Van Riper for the suppresion
of names.
Mr. Worthington asked the witness
why he had given the secret service
report, to the public to the prejudice of
Mr. Holmes.
The Secretary replied:
"I thought the American people had
right to the report.”
Mr. Worthington then turned his at
tention to what he charged to be Mr.
Wilson’s violation of his own rules in
the matter of prematurely giving out
Information and in support of his
theory quoted an Interview given out
by the Secretary last fall as to the
prospective production of macaroni
wheat. The Secretary said he did not
rontember the Interview, but that even
If he had made the statement it would
not be in violation of the rule -of se
crecy; that the violation of the rule
was a question of the premature giving
out of Information that comes to the
bureau of statistics.
“If the information comes independ
ently.” continued the Secretary, “it
would be a matter of breaking faith.
Rut if an employe of the department
systematically arranges to get infor
mation nnd gives it out and the fact
comes to my attention, he will not be
allowed to remain long."
| He said he had not himself based anv
I of his pred'etions concerning the crops
j on the official information coming to
j the bureau of statistics,
j IVm. L. Lanning. a real estate broker,
j testified that in 1905 and 1905, Holmes
had invested $30,000 In an apartment
B.
tton and voted against me, that I am
stronger before the people now than I
have ever been. I do not know whether
this is true or not. If it is. I am un
willing. even with the high office of
Mayor within my grasp, if that should
be the case, to take It with the risk of
causing bitterness and strife to gratify
my own personal ambition for place
and preferment.
Another reason is that the city ot
Macon Is in a better condition than it
has been for years. A few days since
Several of the most prominent citizens
who were opposed to mo during the
last campaign voluntarily said to me
that this administration was the best
the city had had in many years, and
that there was no criticism to bo
made on it. The commendation of such
men as these, my former political op
ponents. prompt me further to take
the course indicated by this letter.
The city of Macon needs' harmony,
the united efforts of its best people for
the public good, and not strife and hit-
terness engendered by a heated politi
cal campaign to satisfy personal am
bition: and believing that I may still
serve the people who have so honored
me In private life, and as I am no
longer a young man. I have fully de
termined not to be a candidate for the
office of Mayor at the next election.
That I am grateful to my friends for
support in the past and pledges of re
newal. goes without saying.

throughout tho country. The follow
ing is the text of the call:
"The outstanding* residue of the
four per cent funded loan of 1907, will
bo on the first of July, will amount
to about $36,000,000, was culled for re
demption by the circular of April 2.
1907, and the bonds will maturo and
cease to bear Interest July 2nd.
"To provide for the redemption of
these bonds, the secretary of the treas
ury has called upon certain deposi
tary banks throughout the country for
return to the treasury of about $30,-
000 000 which they received as special
deposits September 27, 1900. the money
so called for to be deposited on or be

utes I would be unable to Speak audi

interfered with. I would be obliged to
gasp for breath.
"I finally concluded that It was some
catarrhal affection which probably ex
cited the spasm. It interfered with my
vocation as a preacher, attacking mo
occasionally In tho pulpit.
“I had heard so much about Peruna
as a catarrh remedy that I determined
to try it After taking two bottles,

OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. June 13.—
President Roosevelt and party arriv
ed at Oyster Bay at 5:08 p. m.. after
an uneventful trip from Washington,
The President was greeted at the sta
tion by many of the residents of the
village and went to Sagamore Hill.
When the train drew In here the
station platform was thronged with
neighbors, who extended Oyster Bay’s
usual demonstrative welcome.
After the President had embraced
Archie and Quentin, who sprang iruo
his arms in the car door. He next
words were to hie neighbors, who
crowded about him.
"Wall. I am glad to be here." was
the exclamation which opened the
President's little chat with the vil
lagers. He stepped at once to the
platform. As usual the reception com
mittee was headed by former Sheriff
Johnson and Editor Cheney. iBut the
youngsters of the town seemed to have
formed reception plans of their own
and as they pressed around in scores,
the President gave them his immediate
attention. Grasping one diminutive
hand after another, the President said
with unmistakable pride, "There is cer
tainly no evidence of race suicide in
Oyster Bay.”
Then he reached over and picked up
a tot who was hugging a little brown
object saying. “And you’ve a real
Teddy bear.”
After both the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt had shaken hands with every
one. the family entered a carriage and
were driven to Sagamore Hill. A
chorus of cheers followed them.
NORFOLK, Va., June 12.—A report
came ashore from the warships at the
exposition grounds this afternoon to
the effect that a piece of canopy, pre
sumably a piece of the covering of the
ill-fated launch of the battleship Min
nesota. which was lost Monday night
with eleven men., had been brought up
from the waters depth by the battle
ship Alabama's launch. Dragging in
the roads Is in progress and it was
while engaged in this search that, the
piece of canopy was brought up.
Divers will bo sent down at the spot
where the piece of canopy was found.
The hats of several seamen have
boen brought to • the surface. They
bear no marks, but are supposed to
have belonged to the seamen aboard
tho launch. Officers coming ashore
from the fleet this afternoon said that
the missing men had been given up as
lost. The only hope for the men Is
now that some of them may have been
picked up by outgoing vessels, but this
is improbable as thev would likely
have signalled Capo Henry that they
had
hositlon pier and he therefore does not
believe that any one of them could
have possibly run down the Minneso
ta’s launch. Inspector Oast expresses
tbe boief that the launch' was not In
collsion. but was probably overturned
by a heavy sea and the occupants
thus drowned. ‘' 7'- :
The battleship Minnesota will hot
sail tomorrow with most of the fleet
which is scheduled to leave then, but
will remain in Hampton Roads for
some little time yet.
At the exposition grounds. It was
said that Rear Admiral Harrington and
his aide, Lieut. Woodward, both an
nounced that they had no official infor
mation concerning the cause of the
Minnesota launch disaster.

Stimulation Without Irritation.
In cases of stomach and liver
trouble the proper treatment is to
stimulate the organs, without irritat
ing them. Orlno Laxative Fruit Syrup
aids digestion and stimulates the liver
and bowels without Irritating these
organs like pills or ordinary cathartics.

Caught Like. Rats.
The presumption is that the launch,
a small craft.- sunk at once in; the
darkness of the stormy night,
eleven occupants being caught in their
canvas covered craft with no possible
way of escape and carried to the bot
tom, drowning like rats in a trap. It
was raining and tile choppy seas were
sending spray3 to such an extent that
it became necessary for those in the
launch to have the canvas covering
buttoned tightly to the sides of the
little vessel. There was an opening
on each side of the canvass for the
passengers to enter and leave the
launch, but both of these, it is believ
ed. had been buttoned down imme
diately on the launch leaving Discov
ery Landing at tho Jamestown pier
shortly after midnight and the little
launch was making rapidly through
the heavy seas for tho battleship Min
nesota when she was suddenly struck
and sent to the bottom In several
fathoms of water.
The only opening i.i the canvaes
canopv. which covered the launch is :
supposed to have been In the front, 1
just front of the coxswain, who was ;
steering the craft to see ahead. The j
crash Is supposed to have been so sud
den that not even the coxswain had .
time to jump through the opening. j
Identity of Tug Unknown.
No information Is yet obtainable in
Norfolk os to the identity of the tug
and coal barge which axe said to have
struck the Minnesota’s launch and
caused the accident. It Is not yet posi
tively known whether the tug an.d
barge were outward or inward bound,
or that the tug knew what she had
