The case was concluded yesterday j
and a verdict reached during the aft

was announced to-day. Mrs. Pate’s

Malcontents Look to Senate
Many disgruntled Democrats now
look to the Senate as their only hope
for increases in rates. No coalition
of high-tariff Democrats with Repub
licans is looked for, the Republicans
opposing such a plan and the huge
size of the Democratic majority being
an additional deterrent.
Representatives from the mill dis
tricts prepared amendments looking
to higher compensating duties on the
higher grades of manufactured cot
ton. It was not believed, though, that
any of these would be acted upon fa
vorably.
A counter agitation in the shape of
a movement to put muslin underwear
and other such necessaries of life on
the free list also was started.
Little hope that any of these free
list crusades would be successful was
entertained.
SAVANNAH. GA„ April 16. The
sixty-fourth annual session of the
Medical Association of Georgia con
vened in this city this morning with
Dr. W. W. Pitcher, of Warrenton,
president, presiding. The delegates
were welcomed for the city by Mayor
Richard J. Davant and on the part of
The Georgia Medical Association by
Dr. Ralston Battimore, chairman of
the committee on entertainment. Re
sponse was made by Dr. E. E. Mur

The feature of the session was a
discussion of medical .and pharma
ceutical practices and the problems
involved in Georgia, which was pre
cipitated by a paper by Dr. Robert < ’.
Wilson, professor of pharmacy of
the University of Georgia. The key
note of that paper was a condemna

were stated for criminal prosecution

Ralph W. Bagwell, ‘.‘(I Cast Baker
Street, placed the blame for all his
family troubles upon bis mother-in-
law when he was discussing to-day
the filing of a suit for divorce by his
wife and the ne exeat order taken
in Superior Court on which he was
thrown into jail last, night soon after
the institution of the proceedings.
“My mother-in-law is the cause of
it all," he declares. “She got Lucile
dissatisfied over nothing."
The Bagwells were married three
years ago and have one child. The
wife alleges cruel and inhuman treat

after his two conft derates have com
pleted their terms. George Wren, a
young medical student, implicated in
the famous $30,000 Gilsey diamond
robbery, to-day lost in the Court of
Appeals and must se'rve his term of
twelve months at hard labor in the

Court of Appeals. 1s understood to he

Efforts will be madeaat once to
bring the young student back to At

George Kaul arid Carl Roddy, al

the serving of their terms last Sun
day. Roddy is now free, but Kaul
was taken to Michigan to complete a
term in the pen. from Which he es
caped some time before his Atlanta

Wren was the only one of the trio
who fought his conviction.

BERLIN, April 16.—An invitation
to the United States* to join Germany
in a trade agreement in 1916, when
the German agreements expire, was
extended by George Gothein, the Un
derwood of the Reichstag, 1n speaking
to a correspondent to-day.
"The influence of the American tar
iff reduction on Germany will be
largely moral," he said, "and will as
sist the general movement for tariff
reduction. German Liberals regard
the effort in America as an answer to
the popular demand for cheaper living
rather than as a policy to increase
prosperity through export trade. If
America wishes to widen Its market
for manufactures, the best means to
that end will be a trade agreement
with Germany. Our agreements ex
pire in 1916, which gives America n
splendid opportunity to follow tariff
reduction w ith a constructive econom
ic policy.”
The correspondent found smong the
Liberals a tendency toward skepticism
regarding a successful reduction of
the tariff in America. One of the
leading spokesmen of the Progressive
party said:
"We hope President Wilson will win
his fight, but we realize the immense
opposition from the interests which he
must overcome. If he does succeed
the influence in Europe will undoubt
edly be for a lower tariff."
