Triple Entente Not to Land Its
Troops, Although Defied by
Capture of Scutari,
VIENNA. April 24.—The Aus-
trian Government sent a strong
ly worded and peremptory circu
lar-note to the powers this aft
ernoon demanding immediate and
concerted action to turn the Mon
tenegrins out of Scutari.
LONDON. April 24 -Admiration fur
the boldness of tiny Montenegro,
which defied the power** and captured
Scutari, may save the “littlest king
dom" from invasion or other punish
ment. It was learned to-day from a
high diplomatic source that the Triple
Entente—England. Russia and France
has refused to disembark troops on
Montenegrin soil, nor will these pow*
ers encourage Austria to invade Mon-
;enegro.
The other two powers in the Triple
Alliance, Germany and Italy, are not
evincing a burning deHro to disem
bark troops from their warships In
the Adriatic. In fact, Montenegro’s
courageous behavior and defiance of
powers immeasurably greater than
herself has turned the tide of opinion
in some quarters.
Austria insists that Scutari remain
an Albanian city, but the Montene
grins will not convent to give it up,
they claim, without receiving ricn
compensation elsewhere. It has been
the national ambition of Montenegro
for four centuries to own Scutari
A telegram from Berlin states that
the German press, both official and
unofficial, holds that the capture of
Scutari will not affect the decree of
the powers that the city shall remain

PARIS. April 24.—An international
io'mmislson, appointed to adjust the
national debt of Turkey and settle
other financial questions relating to
the Balkan war, was to-day summon
ed to meet May 1ft In this city.
The French representatives will ad
vance a proposition for a division of
the Ottoman debt between the Turkish
government and the Balkan allies.
The Balkan States already have ex
pressed willingness to shoulder a por
tion of the Turkish national debt in
consideration for the territory they
will acquire.
The allies’ demand for $300,000,000
war indemnity also will be settled.

Medieval Physicians Performed Op

Appendicitis.
CHICAGO, April 24. Members of
the medical profession in Chicago to
day heard that all the supposed new
ideas in medicine and surgery were
known to doctors thousands of years
ago. James J. Walsh, dean of Ford-
ham College, New York City, made
the statement in an address to the
Chicago Medical Society.
“The outdoor cure for tuberculosis,”
he said, "was recommended by Galen,
a Greek philosopher, over 1,000 years
ago. In the, Middle Ages surgeons
operated on the skull for fractures
and performed operations nearly
identical with the modern operation
for appendicitis.”

By JAMES B. NEVIN.
There is no longer any doubt that
an intelligent, aggressive and sus
tained effort will be made in the next
Legislature to effect constructive leg
islation in Georgia in the matter of
railroad grade crossing:- 1 .
This effort is not to lie framed along
lines of antagonism to the roads,
but rather as a matter in which they
ar»- vitally and materially Interested,
and whereby they may save them
selves a pretty penny of annual ex
pense.
It will be proposed to enact a law
providing for overpasses* or under
passes at all crossings designated as
dangerous by the State Railroad Com
mission, the railroads to pay for the
onstruotion of the overpasses or un
derpasses, as the case may be, and
the counties to pay for the ap
proaches.
Walter J. Heaaden, of Cobb Coun
ty, has figured this* entire proposi
tion out in a way he considers fair,
and he believes the work outlined
not only will save many lives every
year, but the money saved the roads
will more than compensate them for
the expense of carrying out the plans
suggested.
As the caw stands to-day, the
roads pay out every year enormou
sums for damages growing out of
suits arising from grad** crossing
idents. In addition to that, the rail
roads will be able to maintain much
faster schedules if all grade cross
ings are made safe, because the law
now requires them to slow up trains
as grade crossings are approached
and to come to a full stop if danger
looms ahead in any form.
This matter, while not new par
ticularly, lias never been so serious
ly considered as it is being consid
ered nowadays, and there are those
who confidently predict the incoming
Legislature undoubtedly will give t..*
legislation effective shape.
And, anyway, the question will be
pushed along non-sensational lines
and with an eye to fairness and just
ness in all directions.
It is not believed railroads will op
pose this legislation if the expens
is reasonably divided between the
roads and the territory affected.
‘When Governor Blease admits he
has pardoned convicts upon condition
that ‘they leave the State of South
Carolina for good,’ he thereby knocks
down his entire theory of the par
doning power, and confesses it to be
a sham,” said a well-known Geor
gian to-day, discussing the differences
of opinion between Governors Brown
and Blease concerning executive
clemency.
‘What sort of reformation or re-
pentence hap been effected in a crim
inal who may be pardoned while still
too bad for South Carolina, but good
enough for Georgia?
“If a man is fit for clemency, he
is tit for it to become operative not
only in South Carolina, but every
where. If Governor Blease pardons
man on condition that the man leave
the state, it is a rank confession that
the man is not entitled to pardon—
that's all.
‘I had been interested in Blease’s
explanation of his frequent pardons,
and his statement that he was un
dertaking to extend mercy; but I
think mightly little of mercy to a
criminal in on* 1 State when that mercy
(?) inflicts deadly danger upon the
law-abiding citizens of a sister State.
“Blease should have let hip pardon
views, as first expressed, stand. By-
undertaking to amplify them he lias
shown them to be insincere and
cheap.”

What has “Uncle Seab” Wright to

If the game law is strictly enforced
in Tift County, it looks as if that
locality is to become a paradise for
pheasants.
A year ago. five pheasants were re
leased near Tifton, and immediately
took to tin* woods. Nothing was seen
or heard of them until a few days
ago. when a certain gentleman, ex
ploring some timbered land for lum
her prospects, ran across a covey of
not less than twenty-five and found
signs in plenty »»f many more in the
neighborhood. He thinks there may
be a hundred or more around and
about, and all those he saw seemed
to be exceptionally fine birds.
As the law prohibits absolutely the
killing or snaring of pheasant>' be
fore the year 1916, this gentleman
figures there should be several thou

The climate appears to be admirably
suited for them.

of the vast properties are in Am

Real Life Tragedy Staged in Rep
resentative Howard's Office as
Thornton Is Captured.
WASHINGTON, April 24. Like a
faultless dramatic climax, wnen the
threads of a gripping tragedy are
drawn with unerring precision, and
the villain is enmeshed in its coils, the
arrest her** of one of the cleverest
criminals of the land .closed a little
drama of life, the victim in despair
relinquishing the fight and declaring:
"I have been caught red-handed. I
guess I will spend the rest of my life
in jail.”
The stage was the office of Repre
sentative William Schley Howard.
Hollins N. Randolph, Frank Meador,
Eugene Tiller of Atlanta, and Joseph
Aranoff were some of the principals; a
telegram from Henry W. Davis, cash
ier of the Lowry National Bank of
Atlanta, wap an important “prop.” H.
M. Thornton, alias H. M. Peliam, alias
H. M. Towns, alias H. M. Hudson,
alias H. M. Wallace, was the villain of
the real play.
Howard Was Real Sleuth.
Detective Hewlett was the officer,
disguised, but in readiness for action.
And the action came quick and fast,
as Representative Howard, the real
sleuth of the cart, unfolded the mis
deeds, in the way of forgeries, of the
victim.
To-day Thornton is in prison, while
the police are seeking Mrs. H. M.
Broomfield and H. S. Windham, 1005
