BURWELL IN LEAD
FOR SPEAKERSHIP
Fulton County Representatives
in Next Legislature to Sup
port Hancock Candidate.
Fulton county's three members of the
next Georgia legislature he’d a quiet
and friendly conference yesterday, and
today announced that they will support
William H. Burwell, of Hancock, for
speaker.
They have informed Mr. Burwell of
their decision, and that gentleman was
greatly gratified.
The action of the Fulton delegation,
coming close on the heels of similar
action upon the part of the Muscogee
delegation, has sent Burwell speaker
ship stock sfcy high and many political
observers today are predicting that the
member-elect from Hancock likely will
achieve his speakership ambition with
put opposition.
Mr. Burwell's friends are claiming
that he now has nearly 100 members
pledged to support him and it will re
quire several less than 100 votes io
elect.
Burwell has been a member of the
legislature continuously since 1896,
serving all of that time in the house,
with the exception of two years, when
he represented hy« district in the sen
ate. ,

| NEW WITNESS TELLS
OF DEATH BOTTLE IN
I RESORT UNDER PROBE
[CHICAGO, Sept. 20. —A new witness
whose testimony will tend to support the
t story of Frankie Ford, former Inmate of
the resort of Henry Foster, that John
Messmaker met his death from poisoning
from the "black bottle." was summoned
to appear at the inquest in'West Ham
mond this afternoon. The new witness

He had had a number of drinks, however,
and complained that they had a peculiar 1
taste. 1
Henry Foss, manager of the resort. '
Fasting said the girl told him, had warhed
all the girls m the place to hurry across '
the state line. The Ford girl also told 1
Fasting, he says, that Foss had told the 1
girls to leave the state after Esther Har
rison's death, but had finally arranged 1
matters by securing a death certificate
stating death was due to natural causes.
The entire police force df West Ham- '
mond will attend the Inquest to prevent 1
any disorders on the part of the friends
of the dive-keepers. One patrolman, told '
that "the gang would get him," resigned '

MILLIONS IN GOLD
IN A SUNKEN SHIP
Divers Have Tried for Fifty
Years to Recover Bullion
From Wrecked Frigate.
LONDON. f?ept. 20.—One million pounds
in bullion, which has lain buried for more
than a century in the watery safe deposit
of the Zuyd'er Zee. may be recovered from
the deep within the next few days. Fine
weather alone is stated to be the factor
upon which this record salvage is de
pendent.
The British frigate Lutine sank at the
entrance of the Zuyder Zee in October,
1799. She had on board $6,085,000 in bul
lion and money. The Dutch government
claimed the wreck, and granted one-third
of the salvage in 1801 to bullion fishers.
After much discussion and occasional
recoveries, the king of the Netherlands
ceded half the wreck to' Great Britain.
About 99,893 pounds was recovered at va
rious times.
Diver Feels Bullion.
For. two’summers. Captain Gardiner, of
the National Salvage association, at the
head of a band of gold seekers, has
fought upon the salvage ship Lyons the
fierce currents that run between the is
lands of Vieland and Terschelllng. One
diver who recently came up from the
wreck declared he had found the gold.
He said that on the decks of the frigate
iie masses of cannon ball and shot, but
along her ribs are holes and rents show
ing tlie broken, jagged ends of planks
and timber. It was by investigating in
one of these crevices that he found the
bullion. He had crawled on hands and
knees along to the opening and tried
to get inside bodily, but the ragged rents
threatened his life lines and air tubes.
While stretching as far as he colud
around the corners of gaping timber, his
hand douched something hard and square.
He had handled bars of bullion before,
and knew the "feel” of them.
There was. however, no moving the
precious metal, so after a vain attempt
the diver signaled to the men above, who
sent down a line, and with tliis he fas
tened a buoy to the hold in the side of
the Lutine.
Thg fall of the decks has iriiprisoned
the treasure in the strongest chest im
aginable, and it will require a "pill" of
dynamite to take it from the grip of the
15-inch thief! beams.

’ wave of reform has struck this little
I town. For several years it has not

lage has actually gone crazy over cro-
I qilet. At the side of what was formerly

greater part of tlie night while the resi
dents are amusing themselves with
