Republicans in Present Con
gress Are Hopelessly Split
on the Question.
INSANITY PLEA MAY SAVE
BOY HOLD-UP SPECIALIST
TAFT WORKS HARD TO
RUSH AGREEMENT THRU
Passage of Bill For Permanent
Tariff Board by House Will
Have Adverse Effect
on Treaty.
Wsahington, Jan. 31«—Even with an
Mtra session Canadian reciprocity ap
pears to bo doomed.
The Republican* In the majority In
thla congregs are hopeleealy split on the
question, and while the Democrats
would vote for the agreement they
could not pass it at thla aeailon, with
the help of the few Republicans who
■favor It Should President Taft, find
ing It Impossible to push thru congress
at the present session the treaty, decide
to call an extra session to forco ratifi
cation he will find a great change In
the sentiment of the Democrats toward
that treaty.
Clark to Vote For Bill,
Champ Clark, who will be the speak
er of the house, aald today that he
would vote for the reciprocity bill at
this session. In another connection
he said the Democrats between now
and Saturday could revise a number
of schedules so that at least one por
tion of the objection to the present tar
iff law would be removed. This, he
said, could be done If the Democrats
were In control.
The Intimation was that the Demo
crats could do their own tariff making
If the work was thrust upon them by
an extra session. Likewise this was a
suggestion that the Democrats would
Ignore the reciprocity treaty and pro
ceed at once to a more general revision
of the tariff. _ , ,
Taft’s Efforts Fruitless.
It Is understood that while the gen
eral sentiment of the Democrats Is to
vote for the reciprocity treaty at the
present session, they would not pay
much attention to It at an extra ses
sion
President Taft Is working hard to
rush the agreement thru this session,
but all observers agree that bis efforts
will be frultiese. .
President Taft took the ground last
night at the annual dlnnur of the Ohio
society that In carrying thru his policy
of reciprocity with Canada ho was fol
lowing out the polloy of the late Presi
dent McKinley, who In a number of ut
terances eorpresoed himself as In favor
of a broader vlsw of the proteotlve
tariff.
The president made a strong plea for
reciprocity, but while greeted with ap-
plinee, the sentiment was not favora
ble to his wishes.
Permanent Tariff Board.
The bill creating a permanent tariff
board was passed by the house Juel
before midnight last night after nine
hours of constant debate. The bill went
thru as it was reported to the house
by the unanimous vote of the Repub
lican and Domocratio members of the
committee on ways and means. The
vote was 186 to 03.
The passage of the bill will have an
Adverse effect on reciprocity, for the
gtneral feeling among congressmen Is
•hit the board ought to carefully etudy
the question before any tariff agree
ments are made.

That nlneteen-year-old Claude Seals
Is Insane and wholly Irresponsible for
his acts will be the plea made to save
the confessed highwayman, who now
faces a long term in the Georgia pen
itentiary for his Atlanta crime and who
will also probably face death on the
gallows for a similar crime In Birming
ham. ‘
Attorney John Y. Smith, counsel for
young Seals says he Is satisfied he will
be able to show that the young man Is
crary—afflicted with hereditary Insan
ity. In doing this, the attorney says he
wilt show that Seals’ father and his
grandfather both died hopelessly In
sane, and that certain acts of tho boy
himself Indicate that his reason Is de
throned.
Seals and the other two young men

Hundreds of Residents Are
Taken From Homes to
Higher Ground.
Pitteburg, Jan. 31.—Hundred, of resl-
denta of the lowlands about Pittsburg
were taken from their home, to higher
ground today on rafts or In'row boats
to escape the ravages of the flood that
has Inundated the valley towns.
Immenss damage has been done by
ths waters along the Allegheny. Monun-
gahela and Ohio rivers, but tbs weather
bureau officials stated that the crest
had been reached shortly after I o'clock
tills morning, whon the water reached
a height of 33 feet or four feet above
(he danger line. The eold wave that
arrived yesterday averted one of the
most disastrous floods on record.
Many of the smaller streams are
frozen over.
All points above Charleroi on the
Monongahela report that tho river Is
slowly' falling. On the north side. In
Pittsburg, the usual flood precautions
were taken by-the police, and families
living In the flood district moved Into
the second stories of their homes. Ex
position park was flooded and at the
same time the water reached the Pitts
burg and Western tracks of the B. A O.
railway, necessitating the diversion of
the traffic.
Policemen In boats foeay are patrol
ling the flooded section *nd the officers
will take care of those who are ma
rooned In the upper floors of their
homes, seeing that they are supplied
with provisions and other necessities.
Along the Monongahela wharf and on
the opposite bank of the river, tow
boats with a full head of steam up lay
close to the shore ready to render any
assistance, should any of the barges or
coal boats be torn loose from their
moorings. Wharf boats were being held
secure by a network of lines leading in
every direction.

10 MAKE A FLIGHT
BACK TO KEY 1ST
’ ,. ■ a—i —■*—
Negotiations Commenced to
Persuade Canadian Avia
tor to Attempt It.
Havana, Jan. 31.—J. A. D. McCurdy,
the plucky Canadian aviator, who fallod
In his attempt to fly here from Key
West, after completing 100 mllqi of ths
110-mlle trip, was the feature of the
aviation tournament here. Interest In
tho young blrdmen was Intensified when
the report became current that Mc
Curdy might make an attempt td fly
back td Florida, starting from Camp
Columbia and landing at Key West.
Negotiations were commenced today
to try. to persuade Mr. McCurdy to con
sent to the trip, altho he did not give a
definite answer.
"The accident yesterday was entirely
unavoidable,'' declared the aviator to
day, "and it only Increases my desire
to effect a successful flight across the
Florida straits. Flight over the water
gives a great sensation of mighty dls
tances and the vnstneas of space. A
first I did not like It, but a desire for It
has grown. Indeed. I am afraid It may
become a habit. I do not know when I
shall be able to make another attempt,
but I have the fullest confidence In both
myself and my Curtiss biplane and I am
surs of success.
"Flying over water Is safer than fly
ing over land. The surface beneath Is
flat, which causes an absence of air
pockets and In alighting the danger Is
much lessened. The dangerous pockets
are caused by buildings end other ob
structions breakliv* tho course of the
wind and causing cross currents. The
atmosphere over tho water Is usually
not so affected.”
When McCurdy appeared upon the
aviation field today he wn* given n
mighty ovation. Smilingly he raised
his rap and waved his hand to the en
thusiastic Cubans, who cheered him for
fullv ten minutes. McCurdy, who Is a
polished young man of 23 and a grad
uate of the University of Canada, bears
hi* honors well. Altho pleased with the
Interest of the Cubans, he does not seek
notoriety.
Inquests Break Record.
The record for the number of Inquests
eld In Fulton rounly was broken during
silusry. Coroner Paul Donehoo has con-
ucted a total of 33 Inquests this month,
-be greatest number of Inquests for any
previous month was l», recorded In No-

Wlmt has bocomoof Telamon Cuyler?
He left New York city on tho {South

name "T. Cuyler” In tho pocket,

there has boon no alarm, for Mr. Cuyler
travel* a great deal and theic waa no
cause for anxiety at hie failure to re
turn Sunday morning, when his train
came In. It was not until the family
was notified Tuesday morning by The
Georgian that a passenger of tho dn-
(MpOon of Mr. Cuyler had disappeared
from tho train and railway officials
werer puzzled that any uneasiness was
felt.
An Eooentrlo Passenger,
The passenger on No. 35 hod attract
ed considerable attention among his
fellow travelers by his rather eccentric
actions, especially when he shaved
himself without a razor. When offi
cials went thru Ids baggage after tho
disappearance, they found an opera hat
and a silk ”topper,"a dinner coat and
other articles of social attire, and they
were all marked by a London tailor.
The description of the garments an'
swers closely that of some of Mr. Cuv
ier’s apparel as stated at his home. The
eccentric Atlantan had travelod a great
deal and was noted for hla preference
for English clothing.
A Spectacular Figure.
Telamon Cuyler has for years been
one of Atlanta's most spectacular char
acters. nnd hns figured In many stories
In the dully press outli.Io 111.; i"t>
psges and in them. He changed Id*
name from Telamon Cuyler Smith to
Telamon Smith Cuyler somo years ago.
Ho Is wealthy, a lover of the fine arts,
an author of more or less famo and i
student of genealogy. His dinners were
tald to be miracles In the art of en
tertaining, one of his most recent being
given to tho Rankln-Bwlft wedding
party. He was a member and Is a mem
ber of several prominent clubs tn Lon
don. Parts, Now York and Atlanta. He
occupied a prominent position at the
funeral of King Edward, nnd ISTon-
sldercd Atlanta's most traveled dilet
tante. • •
What Became of Him?
Whether Telamon Cuyler fell from a
platform—tho the train was fully ves-
tlbuleil—or merely stepped off at a way
station to pursue some sudden adven
ture to Its close, has not been deter
mined. He could hardly have been
killed or Injured In a fall, aa no trace
of a dead or wounded man was found
by track wslkors or pedestrians. It
was lot a section inviting a euddun In*
tcrruptlon of a comfortable journey, nor
Is Mr. Cuyler known to have friends
In that section.
Tho mystery will he a mystery until
Mr. Cuyler explains and relieves the
minds of family, railway officials and
friende.

Representative Livingston was
slightly Indisposed 1 nnd could not ho

Mr. Hardwick summed up the op
position of the Oeorglnns ns follows:
"My distinguished colleague, the gen-
tlman from Georgia (Mr. Brantley)
said he was too good a Democrat, too
loyal a Democrat, to fear the light nr
dread Information. I say 'Amen.' Rut
I want to tell him that he Is too good
a lawyer, as I hope I am not, to care
fully examine the quarter from which
the 'light' comes. What are tho 'farts'.’'
They depend on who the witness It,
What Is the Information? It depends
on the source from which It comes.
"Are we to get Information for the
Democrats by means of a Republican
tariff board appointed by a president
who boasts that hs Is nn ndvocute ,.(
the protective tariff system nnd who
sold that the Payne tariff bill was the
best tariff legislation ever enacted?"
"What do they need a commission for
if they have already done tho best that
Is possible?” concluded Mr. Hnrdwlck.
Champ Clark said:
"We are not afraid of Information
from any source. We welcome It It
takes a vast amount of Information to
get up a tariff bill.”

According: to tho statement of Shelby
Smith, one of the member* lit tho com*
mlttee on public buildings of the r/>un«
ty board, the action of the committed
In selecting Architect! Thomas Morgan;
nnd A. TenKyck Brown for drawing*
plant and apaclfleatlona for a new court;
house was taken after thu situation
had been carefully considered. Presto
dent K. E. Dougherty, of the Atlanta
chapter, American Institute of Arch!*
tecta, ha* raised the question as to why
nil architect* In Atlanta were not per-*
mltted to submit Idea* on tho proposed
new building.
Speaking with reference to It, Mrw
Smith *ald:
The committee took thl* action after
the matter had been thoroughly gon»
Into. Of course we realize that tha
other architect* in the city havo a right
to enter into competition, but all of
them could not be successful. Beside**,
the work which Mesar*. Brown and
Morgan will do will bo largely In co*-
*ulting with the official* for who**
convenience, for the time being at least,

may state that the course taken was
adopted solely with a view to having
the work done In a competent man
ner and a* expeditiously a* possible,
and that no other motive influenced th#
decision.”
