U.S.TBEATYWITH
RUSSIA TO END
WEDNESDAY
Barring American Jews From
Czar’s Domain Terminates
80-Year Agreement.
WASHINGTON, Dec 80 -Next Wed
nesday, January 1, 1913, marks the day
on which the treaty between Russia
and the United States will be abro
gated.
This international agreement between
the czar and Uncle Sam was entered
Into In 1832 and was terminated be
cause of Russia's refusal to gran/ pass
port* to American citizens who w < re of
the Jewish race.
While the relation- between these
two countries have been of a very
cordial nature, in a diplomatic sense,
matters began to grow acute when emi
nent American citizens of Hebrew lin- ,
eage were subjected to the humiliation
of being denied entrance into Russia,
solely because of their religion it is
understood forces are at work sot the
formation of a new treaty.
There had been some desultory agi
tation in regard to this matter from
time to time, but II came to a bead
last summer when Oscar Straus, for
mer minister to Constantinople and re
cently a candidate for governor of New
York, and Jacob Schiff, a New York
banker, applied to the Russian gov
ernment for passports as American cit
izens and were refused.
This hampering of two eminent
American citizens, whom this country
had frequently honored, precipitated
the agitation which culminated in the
action taken by congress abrogating
the treaty. Stops have been taken,
however, to continue friendly relations
between the two countries.
Treaty a Marvel.
This alliance was on- of the diplo
matic marvels of the age. Here was
a country which represented the last
word tn autocratic tyranny assuming
and maintaining a most cordial alti
tude toward a. republic and a democ
racy which was fairly set out upon a
mission to cast down those political
Ideals which the former country was
making its chief object to maintain.
Notwithstanding this. Russia lias al
ways been ranged on the side of the
United States in .every International
issue involving the welfare of this gov
ernment.
At the time the question of abrogat
ing the treaty was up before congress,
President Taft pointed out that the
treaty was old and antiquated and that
while its provisions had been violated
in the matter of the American Jews,
there were also other important ques
tions that had arisen since the ratifi
cation of the treaty, which were not
covered by It.
It was William Sulzer, Democratic
governor-elect of the state of New
York, who initiated the fight on the
treaty in the house of representatives.
As chairman of the committee on for
eign affairs, he arose and, burning with
indignation, called the attention of
the house to the gross violation of the
ancient pact and demanded its abroga
tion.
Sulzer Pushed Fight.
Introducing a resolution to this ef
fect. Mr. Sulzer precipitated a tight in
the house which lasted several days.
Some members were disposed to look
upon Russia's discriminatory tactics
with indifference, but before the debate
had progressed many days the temper
of the American people made itself
felt in so palpable a manner that con
gress voted overwhelmingly to abrogate
the treaty.
This does not mean that diplomatic
relations between Russia and the Unit
ed States are indefinitely suspended.
In fact, they will not be cut off at all
in a practical sense. It was but re
cently that President Taft sent a mes
sage io the czar congratulating him
upon Ills birthday and that ruler re
plied in Terms of warm cordiality.
The treaty of 1332 was effected by
James Buchanan, who was then minis
ter at St. Petersburg, and Count Nessel
rode. Russian minister of foreign af
fairs. At that time no mention whs
made by either government of personal
rights independent of commercial
rights, and it was this very technical
ity which resulted in its abrogation
eighty years later.
At the time the treatx was made it
waA looked upon as a shrewd diplomat
ic victory for Buchanan mid he was
the recipient of numerous congratula
tions. The terms of the trputj were
considered to be broad, although the
thought of both countries was, doubt
less, that it related to commercial af
fairs only.
Southerner Barred First.
The first case of record in which nn
American Jew was denied passport into
Russia was in 1852, when the Russian
government refused to vise the pass
port of A. Dudley Mann, who was aft
erward assistant secretary of state and
envoy to Brussels from the Southern
Confederacy during the Civil war.
Mr. Mann complained to Secretary of
State Everett that the first, articlu of
the treaty had been violated. But that
statesman did not concur in ids view
of it. He said the treaty covered cotn
, mercial relations only and called
Mann'-s attention to the stipulation that
the inhabitants of the two states should
have the same protection and security
as natives of the country wherein they
reside -..n condition of their submit
ting to the laws and ordinanc es there

['SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
1 ON GEORGIA POLITICS
BY JAMES B. NEVIN.
Secretary of State Phil Cook believes
that Georgia could greatly increase its
revenue from automobiles used within
- r
£
the state, and at
the same time not
. inflict an unw.l
--' come burden up'ii
automobile o w ti
ers and operators,
by wisely re vising
its law as to tb'
collection of auto
mobile taxes and
their siibs.quent
disposition.
c -Very few nut' -
mobilists within
the state now,"
said Secretary
Cook today, dis
cussing this mat
ter, "really pay an
ad valorem tax at
ill. While some of
this loss of justly due revenue may
arise from pure tax dodging. I firmly
believe the greater part of it arises
from ignorance of the tax lav .« upon
the part of automobile owners.
"Automobile owners come to my of
fice and pay the required $2 license to
operate, and believe that the $2 is all
the tax the state requires of them. As
a matter of fact, automobiles should be
returned to the state tax receive. s for
taxation, just ns any' other personal
property Is 1 .turned—according to
their honest value.
"In some states, automobile owners
are required to pay the ad valorem tax
at the time the machine is registered—
that is. when it is new. and about to be
licensed. I*i this way both the license
and the property tax are collected at
the same time, and confusion and mis
takes arc avoided.
"Where the tax Is collected in this
manner, it goes into a fund kept sepa
rate and distinct from the general state
funds, and is used solely for good roads
purposes -to help out th<> smaller and
poorer counties in that fine work, for
instance. Automobile owners, knowing
their taxes are going Into such a fund,
are greatly reconciled to their payment.
Many a bridge or causeway erected in
some poor county has made glad the
heart of automobile owners that they
were given an opportunity to partici
pate In a state fund that made such
construction possible.
"The state would not need, under my
plan, a roads commission. All we
would need would be a good engineer,
to work with the various county au
thorities when necessary, or independ
ently, upon whom would rest responsi
bility for the work taken over under the
special fund.
“That the automobile lax. in its ad
valorem aspect, is not paid In Georgia,
as the law stands today. Is attested in
the fact that every county shows from
five to twenty' times as many automo
biles registered for license as are .re
turned for taxation. in one south
Georgia county, for instance, there have
been 177 automobiles licensed, whereas
only nine have been returned for taxa
tion.
"The next legislature should look into
this matter."
The Washington Post was impressed
decidedly, it seems, when the reasons
advanced by‘the Georgia legislature for
refusing last summer to assent to the
direct-elect ion-of-senators amendment
to the Federal constitution were read
in the national house last week.
In commenting editorially upon the
Georgia resolution. The Post said:
The Georgia protest questioning
the validity' of the direct elections
amendment, or rather the manner
of its passage through the house,
admittedly is a strong and persua
sive paper, evidently the work of
constitutional lawyers of the high
est caliber. It will be recalled that
while the senate adopted the
amendment by a two-thirds ma
jority of all Its members, the vote
In the house fell short of that re
quirement of the constitution. But
Speaker Clark, deciding in accord
ance with precedent, declared the
amendment adopted on the ground
that as two-third® of those in at
tendance voted "aye." it stood ap
proved. Holding out for a strict
construction of the constitution,
•which reads "two-thirds of both
houses shall propose amendments,”
the protestants assort that the
course taken was unconstitutional,
as being in derogation of the right
of the state to consent to no
changes In the organic law-"except
such as are proposed in strict con
formity to its terms."
While conceding that the b clini
cal point raised by the Georgia leg
islature is debatable, tin constltu- j

elined to rest their ease on the con
struction handed down by < artier

Barrett hail them arresteyl. He inform,

NOTORIETY GALLS
MRS. LUCY DUGAS
“I Feel Lke an Evelyn Thaw.”
Says Ex-Wife of Young Till
man. Visiting Here.
"No. 1 will not lie inlei viewed. I do
not wish to talk to a reporter. I feel
like an Evelyn Thaw or a Nan Patter
son, and 1 hate notoriety . I do not see
why my divorce suit should make my
personal affairs the affairs of the
world.”
That was the statement of Mrs. Lucy
Dugas, former wife of Ben Tillman, Jr.,
w hose fight for the custody of her chil
dren was won only a few days ago. Mrs.
Dugas is in Atlanta today, the guest
of her friend, Airs. Sara AV. Treze
vant. 130 Piedmont avenue. She will
remain here for a few days before re
turning to her home at Columbia, S. ('.
"I had hoped to come to Atlanta and
pay a quiet visit to a friend without
.seeing my name in newspaper headlines
again," continued Mrs. Dugas. "1 have
had enough of all that. You must ex
cuse me now’.”
Children With Father.
The two children of Mrs. Dugas did
not come with her to Atlanta. Though
tlie courts awarded them Jo the mother,
they were permitted under the decree
to pay’ certain visits to their father, and
they are now with him in South Caro
lina.
The legal battle between Ben Till
man. Jr., backed by all the power and
fortune of his father, the pitchfork sen
ator, and the granddaughter of Govern
or Pickens stirred South Carolina as it
seldom has been stirred in recent years.
It was a revival of the old feud between
plebian and aristocrat, for young Till
man sprang front a sire Whose greatest
pride was in his rise from obscurity to
fame, whose boast has been that he
represented tlie common people; while
the wife was a daughter of one of the
most distinguished families of the Pal
metto state.
Her grandfather hail been minister to
Russia and a friend of the czar. Her
mother, Douschka Pickens Dugas, was
the petted idol of the Confederacy, and
there is even a tradition that her baby
fingers held the match which fired the
first cannon in the attack on Fort Sum
ter.
Victory For an Aristocrat.
But whether it was the woman's
pleading, the chivalry of a Carolina
jury, or purely the merits of the case,
the outcome of the trial was the re
verse of most of the battles of the
Carolinas tn recent years, for thte aris
tocrat was victorious. The same state
which saw Cole L. Blense, plebian of
the plebians, returned to the governor’s
chair, saw Ben Tillman, veteran leader
of the proletariat, defeated in his fight
for his grandchildren.
The mother, though opposed by all
the influence the Tillmans and their
friends could bring to bear, was victo
rious at the end. It was a trial which
attracted attention from one end of the
country to the other.
Mrs. Lucy DugJs— once Lucy Dugas
Tillman—is the daughter of the late Dr.
Dugas, of Augusta. Her mother, born
christened by’ tlie czarina, her god
mother, Douschka Olga Frtineisca Eu
genia, but she was always known as
Douschka, which in the Russian tongue
is “darling."
Mother Southern Belle.
She grew up in the executive man
sion of South Carolina, for Minister
Pickens returned to America and was
elected governor of his state on the
same day that Abraham Lincoln was
elected president.
Little Douschka's mother, the wife of
Governor Pickens, was even more fa
mous thafi her daughter, godchild of an
empress. Mrs. Pickens was the reign
ing queen of the governor's mansion in
the years when Carolina was torn by
the Civil war. Her picture adorned the
currency issued by the state. General
Preston bestowed upon her, in a toast,
the title of "Queen of the Confederacy,”
and she bore It proudly until her death.
At the death of her husband she re
tired to her home at Edgewood, where
little Douschka grew to womanhood as
the toast of the countryside, the reign
ing favorite in Southern society.

TURKEY FAMINE IN
WAKE OF CHRISTMAS;
NOT A WAIL HEARD!
Here at the fag end of the holiday
season, when it doesn't really’ matter
except to epicureans, turkeys are get
ting beyond the financial reach of many
Atlanta people. Saturday evening a
high point in the flight was reached,
and Sunday’ several of the restaurant
men, who did not include turkey in their
bills of fare gave as the reason that
30 cents a pound was too much to pay;
others, that turkeys were not to be ob
tained for love nor money.
It is a safe bet that the groaning
board of Atlanta's Sunday dinner was
groaning in most places rather for the
lack of the holiday bird than with its
weight. “White meat, or dark?” was no
part of the host’s rit-ial yesterday.
Turkeys are scarce. A turkey famine
might have been a calamity a month
ago. But a. present shortage of the
supply has failed to arouse a wail of
grief.

An interesting ease was that of Mr H
,i ‘J. member of th.- firm
J DeMolfe & Co., of the Cruekei
building, San Francisco.
i„ T !l e was P>’ z zlihg- There was pain
in the kidney with a showing of bi ux:
a Vi° n beven Physicians proved
that the blood was from the kidnevs and
it was the opinion of all that there was ,i
stone cutting the kidneys, as the least ex
ercise caused a showing of blood
Four X-ray pictures were taken, three
of them showing a stone half an In< h in
diameter. To be certain that it was a
stone that east the shadow, a similar
stone about the same size taken from a
patient was put under him for comparison
—both stones showing on the plate.
An operation was about decided upon
xv hen Fulton’s Renal Compound was
recommended to Mr. McDuffee. Tie hared
the knife and gave it a trial.
AN ithln ten weeks the blood and pain
had ceased and in six months he consid
ered himself well.
We also have a three-page letter from
an old-school physician, a lecturer in on*
of the San Francisco medical colleges,
covering a similar case of stone in the
kidne.v. An operation seemed inevitable.
Tie prescribed Fulton’s Renal Compound
upon the theory that as it was getting r*
suits in Nephritis it ought t<» have s -nn
effect to reduce the inflammation and ex
cessive uric acid that attends Calculus
He was so surprised to get a complete
recover} that he thought a record
to be made of it and gave us the lettei
above referred to.
Fulton’s Rena) Compound seems to have
about the same percentage of efficient!'
in stone in the kldnev that it has shown
in Bright’s Disease.
