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 | Called 1,000 Years Old Medieval Physicians Performed Op erations Like Those for Appendicitis. CHICAGO, April 24.

Walsh, dean of Ford- ham College, New York City, made the statement in an address to the Chicago Medical Society.

In the Middle Ages surgeons operated on the skull for fractures and perbtrmed operations nearly identical with the modern operation for appendicitis.” Rainbow Noah Saw First in Existence RACE SEGREGATION IN GOVERNMENT WORK URGED WASHINGTON, April 24.—Segre gation of races in Government de partments is the object of the Nation al Democratic Fair Play Association, an organization which ^citizens of*30 States in the South and "West have joined.

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.

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. It is not believed railroads will oj Guest Says He Was Drugged and Robbed — Traveling Salesman Alleges $15 Was j Stolen From Purse Beneath His Pillow. H. II.

The money, he maintains, was in a wallet under his pillow when he drop ped to sleep, and, although the purse was there when he awoke, tiie cash was gone. FORGER S ARREST Aid to Wirtz Heirs Offered in America City of Amsterdam Asserts Claims to Great Dutch Estate Long Ago Were Outlawed. 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, 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.

"\\ hen 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 tt to be a sham," said a well-known Geor gian to-day. discussing the differences of opinion between Governors Broun and Blease concerning executive clemency. "What sort of reformation or re- pentence has been effected in a crim inal who may be pardoned while still too bad for Boutli Carolina, but good enough for Georgia? “If a man Is fit for clemency, he is fit for it to become operative not only in South Carolina, but every where. If Governor Blease pardons a man or. condition that the man leave the state, it is a rank confession that the man is not entitled to pardon - that’s ali. ■ "I had been Interested hi 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- State when that mercy (?) inflicts deadly danger upon the law-abiding citizens of a sister State. "Blease should have let his pardon views, as first expressed, stand. By undertaking to amplifx them he lias shown them to be insincere and cheap.’’ The Dalton Citizen is rejoiced to know that all newspaper men in Georgia have become reconciled to the new Federal income tax. Of course, all have millionaire friends who will have to come across more or less heavily in this matter, but outside of that circumstance th» newspaper fraternity is utterly and completely happy over the outlook.

A year ago. live pheasants were re leased near Tifton. and immediately took to the wood*. Nothin* was seen or heard of them until a few days ago, when a certain gentleman, ex plorlng some timbered land for lum ber prospects, ran across a covey of not less than twenty-five and found signs in plenty of many more in the neighborhood. He thinks there may be a hundred or more around and about, and al! those he saw seemed to be exceptionally fine birds. As the law prohibits absolutely the killing or snaring of pheasants be fore the year 191(1, this gentleman figures there should be several thou sand in Tift County by that time The climate appears to be admirably suited for them.
