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 for
the boldness of tinv Montenegro
which defieu the power.*' and captured
Scutari, may pave the “littlest king
dom” from invasion <>r 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
er* encourage Austria to Invade Mon-
, eregro.
The other two powers in the Triple
Alliance, Germany and Italy, are not
• evincing a burning desire to disem
bark troops from their warships in
the Adriatic, In fact, Montenegro’s
i-ourageou* 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 consent to give it up,
they claim, without receiving rich
compensation elsew here. 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 tile decrees <>f
the powers that the city shall remain
Albanian territory.

Modern Surgery Is

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.
"Tiie 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 perbtrmed operations nearly
identical with the modern operation
for appendicitis.”

WESTERN UNION HAS RIGHT
TO CONDEMN RIGHT-OF-WAY
MONTGOMERY, ALA., April 24.—
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany; won a victory to-day in the Ala
bama Supreme Court over the Louis
ville and Nashville Railroad, when it
i was held that the Western Union lias
the right to condemn a right of way
for its poles and wire** along tiie right
of way of the railroad.
The Birmingham City Court, which
decided for the railroad, was reversed.
The case now goes back to the Bir
mingham court to ascertain the
amount of damages from condemna
tion proceedings.
Lawmakers Are Determined to
Pass Bill at Next Session
of Assembly.
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
i abroad grade crossings*.
This effort Is not to be framed along
lines of antagonism to tiie roads,
but rather as a matter in which they
are 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
construction of the overpasses or un
derpasses, as the case may be, and
the counties to pay for the ap
proaches.
Walter J. Headden, of Cobb Coun
ty, lias figured thin entire proposi
tion out in a way he considers fair,
and lie 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 tiie cafr'e stands to-day, tnr
roads pay out every year enormous
sums for damages growing out of
suits arising from grade crossing in
cidents. 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, has never been so serious
ly considered as it is being consid
ered nowadays, and there are those
wiio confidently predict the incoming
Legislature undoubtedly will give t
legislation effective shape.
And, anyway, the question wi'l be
pushed along non-.sensational lines
and with an eye to fairness and just-
ne.-'s in all directions.

Traveling Salesman Alleges $15 Was j
Stolen From Purse Beneath

H. II. Parks, a traveling salesman
lroin Cincinnati, to-day has interested
Piedmont Hotel detectives in a search
for $15 which lie asserts was filched

to his room after midnight, fell into
a deep sleep, awoke dizzy and missed
the money as soon as he went down

was there when he awoke, tiie cash

Real Life Tragedy Staged in Rep

Thornton Is Captured.
—
WASHINGTON, April 24.—Like a
faultless dramatic climax, wnen* the
threads of a gripping tragedy are
drawn with unerring precision, an!
the villain is enmeshed in its coils, the
arrent here of one of the cleverest
criminal* 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, was* an Important "prop.” H.
M. Thornton, alias H. M. Pellam, 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.
COLOGNE, April 24.—It was an
nounced at a meeting of the claim
ants to the millions of Field Marshal
Wirtz to-day that a Chicago as well
as a Paris syndicate had agreed to
furnish means to take the claims' to
court.
The estate of this Dutch general
is supposed to amount to more than
$250,000,000, plus interest f > date. Most
of the vast properties are in Am
sterdam. The municipality does not
dispute the existence of the estate,
but asserts that the rights of the
heirs were outlawed more than a gen
eration ago and that the estate fell
by due process of law into the hands
of the city
Three years ago 203 heirs of the * Broomfield and H. S. Windham, 1005
alleged estate met here and formed
an association to prosecute their
claims*.
