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.

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.

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. Rev. George A. E.

June 12.—Members of the Georgia Cotton Crushers’ Association have notified the Georgia Department of Agriculture, at the State capital, that cotton seed hulls from those sections of Texas affected with the dread boll weovll this subject. 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." TENNESSEE SIDED OVER SLACK GAUGER NASHVILLE.

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.

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.

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.
