CARMi THOMPSON IS
NEW U. S. TREASURER,
SUCCEEDING M'CLUNQ
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.—Carmi
Thompson, secretary to President Taft,
was today appointed treasurer of the
(*nited States, to siieceed I.ee Mc-
Clung, resigned. It was announced at
tlie white house that Charles D. Hilles
will resume his duties as the presi
dent's private secretary tomorrow. Mr.
Thompson formerly was assistant sec
retary of the interior. He was made
secretary' to tlie president last June
when Mr. Hilles gave up that position
to assume the chairmanship of the na
tional committee.
The treasurer will assume his duties
at once and do the counting of all the
money in the treasury. This will con
sume about three months and will be
completed only in time to be gone over
by' the appointment of a neyv treasurer
by Mr. Wilson in March.
hour and a half, a plan was devised by
the detectives to trap him.
While Secretary Snively carried on
the conversation with the maniac. De
tective Hosick tiptoed from the outer
room, which was at W arr s bat k, and
struck him on the head with a "black
jack." The infernal machine dropped,
and Detective Browne, who was at Ho
siers elbow, grabbed it.
Warr reached in his coat pocket and
Hosick hit him again and he tumbled
to the floor unconscious. The hottie of
nitroglycerin and the revolver were in
Warr’s inside coat pocket, toward which
he had reached.
As Warr had said, his left hand was
attached to the mechanism of the in
fernal machine and its yvithdrawal ig
nited the fuse, but the quick work of
Detective Broyvne prevented the sparks
from reaching the explosive.
There were 60 half sticks of dyna
mite, and an expert said it was 60 per
cent, ami that there was enough to
blow up a city block.
At the receiving hospital Warr said
last night he "guessed tile fuse was too
long, which was the reason there was
no explosion."
He said he was born in Germany,
was 34 years old and had lived in this
country 15 years.
Detective James Hosick. who felled
Warr with a blow on the head, and De
tective Samuel 1.. Broyvne, who seized
the infernal machine and carried it to
the street, scattering the dynamite and
extinguishing the lighted fuse, were
congratulated by the police todav.

year-old negro boy, on the afternoon of

The indictments of the men had its

an unlawful homicide, and Jltdge Price

were overpowered in the corridor and the
pri oner taken away from them, rushed to
a street ear. placed upon It. and hurried

IRNS HUNTERS
TD OBSERVE LAW
Game Warden Is Determined
That Plentiful Supply of Birds
Shall Not Be Slaughtered.
The open season for quail, which be
gins today, will be hailed with great jqy
by hundreds of hunters throughout
Georgia, and the birds are said to be
. more plentiful this year than they have
been In a long time.
State Game Warden Jesse Mercer,
who Is an enthusiastic sportsman him
self, while wishing all his fellow sports
men a successful and satisfactory sea
son, has placed all hunters on notice
that they must comply strictly with the
game laws as they are written in the
statute books, or suffer prosecution.
He proposes to enforce the laws,
without fear or favor and to the very
last letter.
“There Is no reason why there should
be the slightest misunderstanding as to
the limitations and specifications of the
game laws," said Mr. Mercer today,
discussing the opening of the season,
"and I hope, of course, that my official
duties during the season’s progress will
be of the most pleasant variety.
Must Observe Law.
“At the same time it may as well be
understood at the very outset—and
that because there are some people who
will not obey the law unless they are
made to—that I shall enforce rigidly
every provision and Insist upsn Its ob
servation. Those who would not be
prosecuted must not infringe upon the
law—that’s all.
“The present, game laws have been
evolved of long years of experience.
They ware framed in wisdom, justice
and moderation, as all Georgia laws
should be framed. If obeyed general
ly, the quail may be preserved to Geor
gia for many, many years. On the con
trary, they are entirely mindful of and
fjlendly to the true sportsman. They
are good, sound, common sense regu
lations—and they are mandatory upon
hunters, and must be carried out,”
State Entomologist Lee Worsham
says the boll weevil surely will reach
Georgia within three years, and Game
Warden Mercer says the farmers
should realize that one of the greatest
and surest weevil exterminators in the
world Is the quail.
Hence, the conservation of the quail
Is greatly to be desired, both in the
Worsham and Mercer philosophy.
