Postponement Till July of Trial of Mrs. Flanders Defeats the Governor’s Purpose. When the Emanuel County Superior ourt to-day postponed the trial of Mrs. Mattie Flanders it again threw back on the hands of Governor Brown ibe life of Dr. W. J. McNaughton. Dr. McNaughton is under sentence to-Iiang for the murder by poison of i,n« husband of Mrs. Flanders. Governor Brown has repeatedly res pited Dr. McNaJug'lrton'a sentence, stating that he would not permit him to be hanged until all possible doubt had been cleared by the trial of Mrs. Flanders, also charged with Complici ty in the same crime. Term Expires Before July. Governor Brown’s term of office will expire before the Flanders case is taken up in July. Unless he takes action which will have effect after the expiration of his Derm, Dr. McNaughton will go to the gallows in May. R is possible for the Governor to commute Dr. McNaughton’s sentence. It is also possible for him to grant another respite for such a term that Mrs. Flanders will be tried before the execution. That, however, would put final action on the McNaughton case up to Governor John M. Slaton. Widow’s Trial Delayed. SWAINSBORO, GA., April 18.—Mrs Mattie Flanders, charged with com plicity in the death of her husband, Fred Flanders, in the famous Dr. W. J. McNaughton poisoning case, will not be tried until the July term of Emanuel Superior Court. When her case was called at 8:45 o'clock this morning it was continued because of the absence of material witnesses. All the veniremen who had been summoned for jury service were dismissed and the continuance an nounced by Judge J. T. Rawlings. Mrs. Flanders left the court house with a disappointed look. Her fa ther, who accompanied her here from her home at Bartow for the trial, openly expressed Indignation at the delay. Both Mrs. Flanders and her father desired that the trial proceed at this time without further postpone ment. The continuance wap at the instance of the State, the absent witnesses being for that side. Missing Witnesses Essential. Mrs. Flanders and her fathor will return to Bartow this afternoon. The absent witnesses causing the continuance are Dr. Houston, of Au gusta, and V. W. Brown, of Quitman. The testimony of each is considered material. The court agreed to the State's contention in this respect. Dr. Houston was appointed by the court as an expert to make investigation as to the alleged arsenic poison that it is contended caused Flanders’ death. The defense acknowledges that his testimony is material. Brown testi fied at the trial of Dr. McNaughton that on passing through Covena he had seen McNaughton and Mrs. Flan ders kiss and had also seen Fred Flanders carrying a torch at night to light the way for McNaughton and Mrs. Flanders, who walked behind him. Mrs. Flanders Confident. Before court convened to-day Mrs. Flanders said: "There is no doubt of my acquit tal. I am innocent and expect to prove this. I do not want the case postponed or nolle pressed. I want the trial to go on, so that 1 may be vindicated in the eyes of the world. 1 shall go before the jury firm in the I conviction that after they hear all I that the State can bring against me I they will feel that I have committed I no crime, and will bring; in a verdict I in my favor.” The impression is general that sev I oral days will be consumed in the I trial of the case. The trial will be I one of the most expensive Emanuel I County has ever had. The cost foi I jury service alone will amount to ap- I proximately $400. It is anticipated I that the minimum cost of the trial I will be $1,000. ! Wilson Not to Back Up on Tariff Stand | Threatens to Carry Issue Before People if Senate Tries to Raise House Rates. WASHINGTON, * April 18.—There j will be no backing: water by President j Wilson In his attitude on the tariff. Early in his administration he told [the old party leaders of Congress | what he expected in the way of a I tariff bill as carrying out the party I pledge?.

This intended course was imparted |by him to one of his visitors to-day land communicated informally to cer- jtaln Senators who are regarded as be fog in favor of certain increases In ■the Underwood bill. Recorder Broyles to-day received a letter from Miss Victoria Scott, of 114 East Eighteenth Street, New York city, asking if there is any rec ord here of the birth of Walter H. Scott between the years 1836 and 1839. As Atlanta then was nothing more than dense woods and its in habitants wild animals and Indians, record of such a birth could be found. Court Investigator Ed Arthur in quired at the Board of Health office and wa? informed by Secretary Thorn ton that the first birth records were dated 1896. The marriage records started in 1887. The officer was in formed that if there were any such records prior to the war they were burned by Sherman's men.

S. and British Cutters., NEW YORK, April 18.—Owing to the fact that Seneca, a United Stakes revenue cutter, and the Scotia, a British steamship, both on duty as ice patrol vessels In tfie region where the Titanic was lost last year, have been unable to find any ice in those waters, the principal tran»-Atlantic steam ship lines already are operating their west-bound vessels over a lane 60 miles north of the course which has been followed all winter. The absence of ice is accounted Tot by the mildness of the winter just ended. The most southerly Iceberg reported so far this spring was seen on March 28 by the Russia, of the Russian-American line, and was en countered 90 miles north of where the Titanic sank. FARMERS ASK 2 STATE F Demand Worsham, Entomologist, and Dr. White Be Cut Off Ex periment Work Payroll. Outlaw, Slayer of 6, Is Shot to Death Desperado Killed After Two Depu ties Fall in Flsrce Battle—Elud ed Capture a Year. Wife Aids Eloping Pastor by Divorce Way Cleared for Jere Knode Cooke to Wed Ward After Six- Year Wait. NEW YORK, April 18.—With the filing of papers in a divorce suit in Hartford, Conn., this afternoon, by Mrs. Jere Knode Cooke, the first step was taken which ultimately will re sult In the marriage of Cooke, for merly pastor of St. George's Episcopal Church in Hempstead, L. I., to Flo- retta Whaley, with whom he eloped six years ago. Miss Whaley made a plea that the public let her and Mr. Cooke alon e In the future to live their lives as they choose. “We have been driven from all of the homes we have made,” said she, "and 1 hope we may be allowed to remain in the one we have now. It has been the greatest wish of our lives to be married, and now, thanks to Mrs. Cooke, we can be in a few months." Rev. C. E. Lee Chosen Memorial Speaker Macon Minister, Cousin of Great Confederate Leader, to Deliver Address Here April 26. A fight, begun by farmers of Geor gia, to prevent the re-election of E. L. Worsham, of Atlanta. State Ento mologist, and Dr. H. C. White, of Athens, professor of chemistry at the State University, as members of the Griffin Experiment. Station staff, will come at the meeting of the board of directors of the station April 22. Agitation, fostered by communica tions from many Georgia farmers and pushed by agricultural papers, has brought the Issue to an acute situa tion. The result will be an attempt to oust the two absentee members of the Griffin faculty when the board meets next week. The Southern Cultivator, of Atlanta, a farm publication, has been vigor ous in protesting against the reten tion on the station staff of men who are not at Griffin and “on the Job.” Both Paid by Station, Dr. White draws a salary of $1,800 from the station, while being em ployed by the University of Georgia. B. L. Worsham, State Entomologist, is on the salary roll of the experi ment station to the extent of $1,000 a year, while employed as State Ento mologist. This showing has been made by farmers in their communications to the agricultural press of the South, and is the basis for the organization of a faction which will present deter mined views to the board of direc tors next week, denouncing the em ployment of officials whose time is not spent In active attendance on their jobs. The issue will be sprung when the directors go Into the matter of elect ing a new staff. Much of Its out come depends upon the attitude oi Professor R. J. H. DeLoach, recently appointed director of the experiment station. He will be drawn Into the fight, although he does not enter upon his duties until July 1, for the reason that the board, at its last meeting, decided to permit him to suggest the persons who should be elected on his staff April 22. Will Respeot His Wishes. The wishes of the new director, then, will be respected, according to the prevailing opinion, in view of the fact that the board has assured him of Its purpose to enter into whatever plans would be for the upbuilding of the station—an assurance which was given before he would permit his name to be used. The fight, Its backers nave declared, Is not against Dr. White or Mr. Wor sham as Individuals, nor against their fitness for their work, but against the principle of paying salaries to mem bers of the station staff who are not continuously at the station and in co-operation with the other members of the force.
