ended ten mile* off the const today,
after the aviator had completed 1<>0
miles of the remarkable Journey. Mr.

Excitement Turn* to Anxiety.
The excitement among the Cubans
gathered upon the water front and the
roofs of the houses was turned to
anxiety at 10:05 o’clock, however, when
the Cuban revenue cutter Haturl flash
ed word by wireless that the aeroplane
had not boon sighted. This report coin
ing directly In the wake of the Pauld
ing report that the aeroplane was pro
gressing toward land caused a feeling
cf fear that accident had overtaken the
aviator. Queries were sent hurriedly
to both the Haturl and the Paulding
at 10:10 o’clock asking definite details,
but It was some time before the real
facta could be ascertained.
Confusion of False Reports.
The confusion of false reports con
tinued despite the fact, especially thru
the fact that McCurdy dropped Into th«
water between two of the torpedo boats
and It was not known deflnltely for
tome time whether or not he would be
able to continue the flight from the
deck of the Paulding, upon which a

From the time the booming of threo

Washington, Jan, 30.—The Impend
Ing battle over the ratification of the
reciprocity treaty will be fought out In
congress on sectional rather than par
ty lines. This la clearly indicated In
the attitude of Hrnatnr Beveridge, of
Indiana, s leader In the Insurgent camp,
who has come out strongly In favor of
Ihe Indorsement of the treaty. Sena
tor Beveridge's declaration Indicates
that party and even factional linen will
go to smash when the treaty cornu*
before congress for ratification. The
Insurgent chieftains, Cummins, of
Iowa, and DaFollelte, of Wisconsin,
both of whom object to many of the
provisions of the treaty, will light the
ratification of that Instrument.
Some Faitori Some Oppose.
Rome of the Insurgents of the house
have flatly repudiated the proposed
treaty, white Insurgents of other dele,
gatlons have Indorsed It. Rome of the
regular Republicans are for the treaty,
others against It, and It la the same
with the Democrats. Senators llko
Crane, of Massachusetts, stalwart pro
tectionists, and Cummins, of Iowa, and
Kelson and Clapp, of Minnesota, down,
ward revisionists, will be found fight
ing side by side. One thing Is cer
tain, the treaty has small chance of
being accepted.
Will Not Be Acc*pt*d.
Warring Interests undoubtedly will
prevent Its acceptance. If President
Taft has any Intention of calling an
extra session to ratify the proposed
treaty between the United Htates and
Canada as a final result In case the
treaty Is Jockeyed out of place at the
present session, he will probably make
It known tonight, when lie will make
cn address at the unnual dinner of th*
Ohio society In this city. It Is believed
that reciprocity will be the subject of
President Taft’s speech. There ha*
been a great deal of talk of an extra
aesston If the reciprocity legislation
failed at this session and It Is shown
that much of this lalk was brought
from the white house.
That Extra 8e**ion.
From all over the country the presi
dent has received letter* and telegrams
commending th* proposed treaty. Many
leaders say frankly that they believe
this treaty Is the one thing that could
Induce Mr. Taft to call an extra *es-
aion. While *ome declare the effect
would b« to open up the whole subject
of (he tariff and would therefore be
bad politic*, others say It would be
good politics because the Democrats
would be unprepared to deal with the
subject at such short notice.
It can be said, however, that the
president Is not considering the poli
tic* of the situation. He believes that
this treaty Is a big and broad national

Political gossip here Is to the effect
that President Taft Is driving away
from elnaielf considerable support that
be would otherwise have for rcnoimna-
tlnn In 1912 by Ills determined stand
for Ihe ratlflcallon of this drastic
treaty at the present session. How
ever this aspect of the situation ap
parently Is not worrying him.
New York, Jan. 3<h—Despite the |>o-
lice belief that Miss Dorothy Arnold,
the missing daughter of Francis R.
Arnold, the millionaire Importer. I*
alive, John S. Keith, one of the lawyers
repreientlng the family, appealed to the
police today to have the hikes in Cen
tral park drugged for her body.
While this request was being made
the report became current that Mrs.
Arnold, the mother, la mysteriously
missing. Miss Marjorie Arnold, a sis
ter of the missing girl, denied today
that there was any mystery In nci
mother's absence, but sic; admitted that
Mr*. Arnold Is awav and that she (Mar
Jorie) did not know where she Is.
There was a strong belief prevalent
today that Mrs. Arnold's absence 1* In

that the girl met foul plav during

that George -B. Grlscom, Jr., of Pitts

TO THE CITIES AND TOWNS OP GEORGIA:
February 2, 3 and 4 tho Georgia Branch of the Mothers
Congress will meet in Atlanta for the purpose of furthering
the great work which is being carried on internationally
for the little ones of thin and coming generations." Georgia,
always a leader in everything fine and good, should take an
active part in thia work.
Tuesday, January 31, the Mothers Congress will issue a
special section of The' Georgian, tilled with interesting facta
in regard to the organization, aim, scope nnd purpose of the
.congress. This edition should be in the hands of every man
and woman in the state. Its present value and future worth
alone should be recommendation enough.
To place this edition, however, the congress must have
the help of some person or group of persons in your town. If
you can dispose of fifty or more copies of this paper, wire
Thp Georgian at the expense of the Oorgia Branch of the
Mothers Congress and the papers will lie sent to you direct
Tuesday afternoon. MRS. JAMES R. LITTLE.
President.
In an opinion handed down Monday
morning In tbe United States court.
Judge Newman sustained the demurrer
filed by The Atlanta Journal Company,
James n. Gray, editor and general man
ager, and several employees of Th*
Journal, which wo* returned by the
United States grand Jury several days
in:., ■ I .. rclnc 111 >■ rl-IVndunlK with con
spiracy to defraud the government.
Immediately after Judge Newman
r.-.ul hi- .1* ,'1-Ion. AHKlMant Attorney
General Akerman asked whether or not
Hi- opinion was I on th
tlon of a United States statute, and
when Informed that »uah was the case,
he asked permission to note excep
tions, which was granted.
This mean* that the case will be ap
pealed to tho United States circuit court
of qppsdlq Altho Mr. Akerman refus
ed to bo quoted. It Is known that he
Intend* to carry It up nnd have the
higher court pas* upon the question.
Should Judge Newman'* decision be
sustained by tbe high court, the de
fendant* can not be placed on trial,
but should Judge Newmen bo reversed
the defendants must then stand trial
before a Jury.
The right of th* government to ap
peal In a criminal case comes under a
statute making this possible when th*
construction of a statute Is Involved.
Investigation To Continu*.
It I* by no means certain that Mr.
Akerman and: hla associates have fin
ished with their grand Jury investiga
tions. While he will moke no state
ment a* to the plan* of the govern
ment, he I* not prevented from getting
new grand Juries to consider the eases,
and there la reason to believe the In
vestigation will cortlnue. The foot thst
the grand Jury Saturday failed to bring
In Indictment* doea not prevent the
government from asking for Indict- ■
ments from other grand Juries. Contin
ued activity on the part of the trained '
Investigators who havo been at work :
on these postal cases Indicates that tbe
work will continue.
Immediately after the decision waa
announced, Mr. Akerman held a confer- !
enee with District Attorney Tate and
Assistant District Attorney Henley and '
ths qUMtlon Of atM.rul was discussed.
Following this conference, a copy of the
decision wa* prepared for the district
attorney's office.
The opinion was a lengthy one, nnd
In It Judge Newman reviewed th* In
dictment and also the demurrer filed to
It by the defendants. He also reviewed
the argument* made by both sides and
pointed out that th# Charge made by
the government wa* one of conspiracy
to defraud by a scheme which would
deceive postofllee employee* and which
would allow coplas of the paper tn go
at the cent-a-pound rate when the*.,
copies were not entitled to thnt rate.
"It Is conceded by counsel for tho
government," said Judge Newman,
