BOYGE SLAIN FOR PLANS TO ELOPE AGAIN Banker Sneed to Plead That He Shot to Save Wife From New Escapade. AMARILLO, TEXAS. Sept. 16.—That he killed Al G. Boyce to prevent him from taking his wife from him again will be the defense of John Beal Sneed, the rich Amarillo banker, in his trial for the murder. Sneed will claim that he and his wife hail become reconciled about two months ago and had planned to re move to Mississippi and start life anew when he came upon evidence of a plan of his wife and Boyce to elope again. This plan, he will claim, he . found in a letter from Boyce to his wife telling that he had left Canada and come to Amarillo and outlining a plan for her to leave her husband and flee with him a second time. Young Boyce had been offered the management of an immense cattle ranch in Argentine Republic. The Potter county grand jury in spe cial session took up the killing today. An indictment is expected during the day and attorneys for Sneed are ex pected tomorrow to Institute habeas corpus proceedings to secure the release of Ht>ilr'client frofn jail. A feature of the inquiry before the g-and jury was whether Sneed bad an accomplice in the killing. It has been •iabllshed that two men, one answer ing the description of Sneed, rented a "tt igo next door to the Methodist hurch, in front of which the tragedy i iitved. The second man has disap peared Mrs. Sneed has also left her home. No Armed Outbreak Between Families. Development- today indicated that the law would be allowed to take its nurse and that there would be no •o-neri conflict between members and f iends of the Boyce and Sneed fami lies. Although the Boyces and Sneed ent about armed today, there was no open outbreak. The Sneeds are wait ing for the Boyces to make the next move, according to the "code" in feud warfare, and the Boyces are deterred because of the critical illness of Mrs. A. G Boyce, superinduced by the shock of th» killing of her son. Mrs Boyce was one of the first to reach her son Saturday. As he lay in the street his mother rushed to him and. kneeling beside him, took his head in her lap and wiped the blood from his face. How much more of this must I stand?" she exclaimed. Later she went to her home, where -he collapsed. It is feared" she may not -urvive the shock. H ill Boyce, brother of Al, was al tr' -t in time to avenge the killing Sat 'irday. it was learned today.

Nogi, In Will, Tells Why He Ended Life; Left House to Wife TOKIO, Sept. 16—The will of Gen eral Maresuko Nogi who, with his wife committed suicide Friday so as to be a servant to the dead mikado in the next world, was published today. The document suggests that the body of the war hero be given to a medical college, requesting that only his teeth, hair and nails be placed in a grave. The instrument was drawn up on the night of September 12, just 24 hours before the warrior slashed his throat, showing that his act had been meditated at that time. Nogi, in his will, says that he follows the emperor because his services are no longer re quired in this world. He has often sought to die, he said, and choose as the occasion for the departure from this world the moment that the body of the dead ruler left the nation's cap ital forever. One strange feature of the document is that it wills to Nogi's ivife the house in which they lived and much of his personal property. This fact is taken to mean that the determina tion of the countess to end her life at the same time as her husband was not formulated beforehand. CURTIS IS INDICTED FOR SLAYING MAN WHO SLURRED WIFE W. H. Curtis, brother of Dr. A. Lee Curtis, of Atlanta, who shot and killed J. H.

ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 16. 1912. BROWN S«S HOM HE JO HOUJSJOB Illi JOIE Governor Will Refuse to Issue Commission Until After the Legislature Meets. Governor Joseph M. Brown author ized the announcement today that he would hold that Commissioner of Agri culture Connor, holding office under appointment to the unexpired term of Commissioner Thomas G. Hudson, can not be displaced before the legislature meets next June, canvasses the gen eral election returns and formally de clares the person duly chosen by the people to succeed to the office. The governor bases his opinion upon section 94 of the code, which prescribes the manner in which the governor, treasurer, comptrolle.r general, attorney general and commissioner of agricul ture shall be elected, and which spe cifically recites that the stipulations laid down shall apply to all. The legislature Is required to can vass the returns in the governor’s case and declare the result before the elec tion Is complete, and no person may qualify for governor whose election has not been so declared. No Commission Before Legislature Meets, The governor, therefore, will hold that he has no authority to commis sion any one whose election has not been accomplished in the manner laid down; and it would be impossible that any person other than Connor, under that ruling, could qualify before next June, save in the remote contingency of a special session of the legislature be ing called in the meantime. The governor authorizes the state ment that he will commission no one before the legislature meets, no mat ter what the state executive committee may do in the matter of filling an im aginary vacancy to occur in October or November, and regardless of what may happen in the regular October election, in the matter of electing a commission er of agriculture to begin his term of service in advance of the assembling of the legislature next June. Unquestionably, the governor's an nounced attitude will go far toward clearing up a situation that has been very much obscured in the public mind of late. Connor To Hold On to His Office. James D. Price was nominated by the Macon convention to a full and regular term in the office of commis sioner of agriculture. That term will begin about July 1, after the legisla ture has formally declared Price's elec, tion. A question arose in the minds of some lawyers, however, as to whether there would not, as a matter of fact, be an existing vacancy in the commission ership immediately following the Octo ber election, and if it would not be pos sible for some one. other than a Demo, crat, to have his name placed on the regular state ticket in October, and, in the event of his receiving a number of votes, legally demand the office under the law. Because of the difference of opinion among lawyers as,to when the unex ' pired term of Hudson —the present term of Connor —expires. Chairman William J. Harris decided to have James D. Price’s name placed on the ticket in the October election as the Democratic nominee, merely as a precautionary measure, and in order to have a Demo crat ready to qualify for the office in the event a vacancy were held to ex ist. Governor Brown's declaration that he will not commission Price, or any body else, before the legislature has met and declared a result, definitely closes the matter. Connor will not be displaced before the June meeting of the legislature, aft er which Price will be commissioned. The governor states |hat the law is very clear In his mind, and tnat he would be compelled to refuse a com mission to any person, as commission er of agriculture, unless that person came to him certified by the legisla ture. Only In the event of resignation, re moval or death would the governor be authorized to name a successor to Con. nor before next June, unless the legis lature In extraordinary session in the meantime should declare another elect ed to the office. Ail of these contin gencies .ire so remote, of course, that they need not be taken into considera tion, Batteries. Lavender and Ar cher; Mathewson and Wilson. Umpires. Brennan and Owens.

Massey announced for Mr. and Mrs. William M. Pendleton late this afternoon that Charles M. Pendle ton, formerly a lieutenant in the Philip pine constabulary and convicted by a native court of murdering a Filipino, has been freed from prison and is at work in Shanghai, China. Hundreds of Southerners joined in the effort to have the young Atlantan pardoned in 1911 by the governor gen eral of the islands. He was released on July 10, but it was found necessary, under peculiar conditions, to keep the matter a secret until he was safely out of the islands. It is announced that he will probably join his parents In Atlanta about Christmas. Pendleton's conviction was regarded by many as a put-up job. Mr. Massey, as a member of the Atlanta Grays, took a leading part in the effort to free the American. Smoke Board Forced To Rescind Its Action; War On Smoke Evil Forced to back down by widespread criticism of tts attempt to modify council’s smoke regulations. Chairman R. M. Harwell, of the smoke commis sion, has called a meeting of the rules committee of the commission to rescind its action. The committee at the same time will frame a new set of regulations for the guidance of the commission itseif, which will be submitted to the board The board's action In modifying the already light regulations of council governing the emission of smoke of varying density was denounced as a usurpation of authority by many cour, oilmen and by City Attorney Mayson Abolition of the smoke board which was declared to be standing in the wav of reform, was seriously urged Councilman Charles w Smith, fath er of the smoke ordinance, said today that while he had not decided whether he would introduce an ordinance to abolish the smoke commission at the meeting of council this afternoon he would begin his fight to see that the original smoke ordinance is enforced Councilman Claude C. Mason, in an interview today. Joined Councilman Smith in his plan to abolish the smoke commission if the commission does not see fit to enforce the smoke ordinance. "The original smoke ordinance did not contemplate a smoke board,” he said. "The board was added as a com. promise, and it was given exceptionally wide authority. It seems to me to have proved a failure." WOMAN LAWYER HAS NEW SCHEME TO GET PERMIT IN GEORGIA Mrs. Virginia Mclntire Weaver, who has for the last year fought in vain for the right to practice law in Georgia, has hit upon a unique scheme to carry her point, declare her friends. She has gone back to West Virginia, her former home, and is preparing to stand her examinations and be admit ted to the bar there. West Virginia admits women lawyers. Once admit ted to the bar in West Virginia, Mrs. Weaver believes that when she returns to Georgia she will have to be granted the same privileges here as would any other lawyer from another state who produces the proper credentials saying he had been admitted to practice in his native state. Mrs. Weaver is a graduate of the At. lanta Law school and when she found that Georgia laws barred any woman from playing the part of Portia, she tried to have the legislature change the law, but failed. She is now in Morgantown. W. Va, and as soon as possible intends to re turn to Georgia and take up the prac tice of law, if she be allowed to do so. JOCKEY ESCAPES DROWNING. HAVRE DE GRACE. MP..

Visions of the trans-Pacific traffic pictured fifteen or twenty years ago by Judge Peter Gross cup, of Chicago: James J. Hill and oth ers have come true. The tonnage for the Orient now offering is greater than the steamship lines can provide space for. The Blue Funnel (Solt) line from Tacoma, the largest fleet that comes to Puget Sound, announces that every inch of available space by Its steamers has been engaged up to February, Three big liners building in Belfast can not be added until next year. The steamship Titan, now on the Pacific, brings a silk cargo valued at 81,500,000. beating th< record value cargo brought two weeks ago by the Teucer. her sister ship. Two Japanese lines out of Puget Sound and two other British lines can not take all business which is offered. Additional bottoms are unobtainable. The Japanese line connecting with the Milwaukee railway will add larger steamships to its present fleet of six as fast as they can be built in Japan. Wheat and flour are still going to the Orient in great quantities. OLD FOOTBALL STAR TO TRY “COME BACK” STUNT CHAMPAIGN. ILL.
