4 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 prevailing, and ! iiilieu'urly to the ><-g --’il>t>''iw in force con. -ruing . omm. iec ba A' ['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 tional lawyeis in congress are in- 1 elined to rest their ease on the con struction handed down by < artier congress«'s. holding at the same time that it is up to the several legislatures to decide. The resolution returning to congress the proposed amendment, without ac tion. and in protest of its manner of passage by the national house, was drawn by Representative Alexander, of DeKalb, and was adopted by a unani mous vote of tile legislature Charles S Barrett, president of the great National Farmers union, is tlie only man of record in Georgia history who has had the signal and unique I honor of being mayor of a lone and iso lated mountain, minus inhabitants oth- I er titan squirrels, possums.

There wasn't a house and there wasn't a cave dweller on tlie entile tract incorporated as a tow n, and when Barrett was notified of his mayoralty honors, he didn't know what to do Being then, as now, a wise man in ills generation, lie resolved the doubt by doing nothing. He sat steady in the boat. He didn't even go to -the trouble to get sworn in; and, as there were no inhabitants in the new town, there was nobody in sight for him to sweat at. By and by, a couple of squirrel hunt ers got on a "Jag" in that town, and Barrett hail them arresteyl. He inform, ed them, much to their astonishment, that they were "drunk and disorderly, also discharging firearms,” inside the city limits—and lie fined them $5 each! That was his first and last official act as mayor of Abernathy—the incorpo rated mountain. Afterward tlie "town” charter lapsed, and Abernathy became nothing more than a memory and a song. Former Speaker John N. Holder is an Atlanta visitor today. Mr. Holder is a "statesman out of a job" nowadays, for the first time since he became 22 years of age. He doesn’t mind, however—indeed, he is one of the most chipper of all the "lame ducks” that come to Atlanta occasionally. Mr. Holder made a gallant race foi congress in the November election, but Thomas M. Bell, the present represen tative from the Ninth, won out. It is an open secret in the Ninth, however, that the former speaker of tlie house will make an effort to “come back” by and by, and there are many who predict that it yet will be Con gressman Holder. "Bud" Blalock, of Fayette county, for mer representative and senator, and late aspirant for the agricultural com missionership. is said to have an eye out for the office of collector of inter nal revenue for Georgia, under Presi dent Wilson.

"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. INJURED BY AUTO.
