LAND GRABBERS
WAGING HA
Great Britain and Russia Al
ready Have Shown Hands,
and Japan Schemes.
TOKIO, Aug. 31.—Land grabbing by
the powers in China is the newest and
most dangerous menace which con
fronts the republican government at
Pekin. Cabled advices received here
today from Pekin say President Yuan
Shai Kai is cognizant of the danger,
but is believed to be unable to avert it.
Great Britain's hand was shown by
the declaration of recognition In behalf
of Thibet’s independence. The British
government made this move when
China sent an army into Thibet to over
throw the Thibetan government set up
at the same time China threw off the
Manchuria yoke.
Russia has taken similar action in
regard to Mongolia. In fact, Russia has
gone further than Great Britain by an
nouncing the Muscovite government
will not tolerate any attempt on the
part of China to overthrow the auton
omy of Mongolia.
Japan Prepares To Act.
Japan is expected to make a move in
Manchuria soon. For nearly six months
Japan has been massing troops in
Korea, the excuse being that more sol
diers were needed there for police pur
poses due to Manchurian unrest.
It is understood here that the Chi
nese government has sounded France
and Germany regarding their attitude
on the partition of the empire. China
wants to ally them against land grab
bing.
So serious has the situation become
that a political party is being formed,
the platform of which will be the re
tention of the great dependencies which
China own'ed before the revolution. The
Manchurians secretly are fostering their
party with an eye to future events.
Manchu statesmen believe the party
eventually may become powerful
enough not only to control the govern
ment but to reorganize it.

POLICE GUN FIGHT
Patrolman and Negro Desper
ado Exchange 12 Shots in
Chase- Fugitive Escapes.
With women and children standing
on porches as excited spectators. Bi
cycle Policemen McDaniel and Peek
last night fought a running pistol bat
tle in Haynes street with an unknown
negro desperado. Fifteen shots were
exchanged.
The negro dropped as he fled through
the A., B. and A. culvert in Rock street,
and it is believed he was wounded.
Regaining his feet, however, he disap
peared in an old field near the Davis
street electric plant. Owing to the
darkness and the fact that the three
participants were on a full run, marks
manship was bad.
The battle created intense excite
ment in the community, and several
hundred persons gathered in the streets.
Women and children rushed out on
porches to view the spectacle., but man
aged lo keep well out of the way of
the flying bullets.
At the second shot fired by the negro,
Officer Peek stumbled against a rock
in the street and fell. This increased
the thrills of the fight, as it was thought
he had .been shot.
Sergeant Luck, who was several
blocks away, rushed to the aid of the
officers and Joined in the chase'.
The trouble started between the des
perado and another negro. As they
turned from Thurngond into Haynes
street, the former turned and fired on
his pursuer. At this moment Officers
McDaniel and Peek, hearing the shot,
dashed from Mays street into Haynes
and called on the fleeing negroes to
halt. Instead of obeying this command,
the desperado turned his pistol on the
officers and began shooting as lie ran.
The officers returned the fire, at the
same into the fusillade of
bullets.
CHURCHES OF CHRIST
TO HEAR EVANGELIST
Three of the Churches of Christ will
suspend services Sunday night in order
that their members may attend the
tent meetings being conducted by Evan
gelist Horton, at Simsville, on the river
car line.
The churches which have agreed to
ask their congregations to help swell the
crowds at the tent services are: West
End Avenue. South Pryor Street and
East Point.
It’s like getting money from home, for
it’s money easily made by reading, using
and answering the Want Ads in The
Georgian. Few people realize the manv
opportunities offered them among the
small ads. It’s a good sign that if the peo
ple did not get results from the Want Ads
of The Georgian that there would not be
so many of them. If. for nothing else, sit
down and chc-k ~ff the ads that appeal to
you. You will be astonished how many of
them mean money to you. The Want Ad
pages are bargain counters in every line.

MILEAGE FIGHT
APPEARS LOST
State Railway Commission Is
Reported to Disfavor Grant
ing Drummers’ Petition.
While the railroad commission has
considered in executive session the
traveling men’s petition seeking to es
tablish the “pulling’’ of mileage on pas
senger trains in the state, it seems that
the real reason a decision was not
handed down yesterday is because the
commission inclines to rule against the
petitioners, and the traveling men wish
(o be heard further.
The impression is firmly fixed in the
minds of a number of interested people
that the commission is prepared to deny
the petition, and uphold the governor’s
point of view.
No word of this has come directly
from the commission itself, hut the re
ported hostility of a majority of the
commission to the issuing of the "pull
ing” order seems to befir the earmarks
of truth.
The matter has been set by the com
mission for further argument on Sep
tember IS. Both the railroads and the
traveling men have been invited to
present such additional arguments as
they wish to introduce.
