BLOCK INIBN
Triple Entente Not to Land Its
Troops, Although Defied by
Capture of Scutari.
VIENNA. April 24.—The Aus
tnan 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 defied the power?* and captured
Scutari, may save the "iittlest king-
dour' 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 th* Triple
Mliancc. Germany and Italy, are nqf
evincing a burning detire to disem
bark troops from their warships in
the Adriatic In fact, Montenegro’s
. our a geo u- behavior anfi 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 tin* Montene
grins "ill not convent to give it up,
they claim, without receiving rich
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 tlie decree of
the powers that the city shall remain
Albanian territory.
Gott Sei Dank: That
Rivet Missed Taffel
But ‘Meteor’ From Hurt Building
Spoiled His Coat and He
Wants a New One.
Frank Taffel says .Joel Hurt, or |
Homebody, owes lilm a new coat, and ]
ban put in a claim for the garment.
Taffel, who lives ut 101 Martin
Street, was picking Ids way carefully
along the improvised sidewalk where
the new Hurt skyscraper is going up,
when;
A fiery streak flashed before his
eves, so close as almost to trim the
corners of the Taffel beard, which Is
unorthodox. Something hit the pave
ment with a thud and a ldss, and the
smell of something burning arose.
Taffel ran. The smell of some
thing burning persisted. He glanced
at his coat. The left skirt had been
sliced away.
In the meantime, a hot rivet lay
in Kdgewood Avenue, blushing deep
er ami deeper at its offense.
One of the men who catcher red-
hot rivets in a till bucket impaired
Ins fielding average badly by missing
an easy chance.

ago. James J. Walsh, dean of Ford-

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.”

WESTERN UNION HAS RIGHT

MONTGOMERY, ALA., April 24.—
The Western Union Telegraph Com

the right to condemn a right of way
for its poles and wire* along the right

The Birmingham City Court, which
decided for the railroad, was reversed

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
.egislature to effect constructive leg
islation in Georgia in the matter of
illroad grade crossings
This effort is not to be framed along
lines of antagonism to the 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, has figured thi« 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 the caee stands to-day, the
roads pay out every* year enormous
sums for damages growing out of
suits arising from grade crossing ac
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 ar.e 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

If. H. Parks, a traveling salesman
from Cincinnati, to-day has interested
Ph dmont Hotel detectives in a search
for $15 which he asserts was filched
from beneath his pillow while he was
under the influence of a drug admin
istered to him while he slept.
According to the story told the hotel
management, the prowler chose only
currency, as the loose change In
Parks’ trousers pocket and his watch
were not touched. He said lie went
to his room after midnight, fell into
a deep sleep, awoke dizzy and missed
the money as soon as he went down
stairs to buy some cigars.
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, the cash
was gone.
Aid to Wirtz Heirs •
Offered in America
City of Amsterdam Asserts Claims
to Great Dutch Estate Long
Ago Were Outlawed.
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 w-ell
as a Paris syndicate had agreed to
furnish means to take the claim? to
court.
The estate of this Dutch general
is supposed to amount to more than
$250,000,000, plus interest t > 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
alleged estate met here and formed
an association to prosecute their
claims.

WASHINGTON, April 24.—Like a
faultless dramatic climax, wnen the
threads of a gripping tragedy arc
drawn with unerring precision, and
the villain is enmeshed in its coils, the
arreet here of one of the cleverest
criminals of the land closed a little
drama of life, the victim in despair
relinquishing the light 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. Reliant, alias
H. M. Towns, alias H. M. Hudson,
alias H. M. Wallace, was the villain of
the real play.
Howard Was Real Slsuth.
Detective Howlett was the officer,
disguised, but in readiness for action.
Aftd the action came quick and fast,
as Representative Howard, th6 real
sleuth of the cast, 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
Tribune Building. New York, believed
to be his accomplices in a country
wide series of forgeries.
Thornton endeavored to secure the
indorsement of Representative How
ard to two checks on the strength of
a letter of Introduction from Hollis
Randolph. The checks were forgeries
on the name of the cashier of the
Lowry National Bank: the letter of
introduction was a forgery. For, just
as Thornton was exhibiting his cre
dentials, Mr Randolph dropped in,
with stoge-like precision, and de
clared :
Randolph Baras Forgery.
“We have not used this stationery
for ten years. The firm name now Is
Brown, Randolph, Scott & Parker and
this writing is not that of men in our
employ.”
Thornton’s boldness is evidenced by
the fact, recalled to-day, that seven

“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 conferees It to be
a sham,” said a well-known Geor
gian to-day, discussing the differences
of opinion between Governors Brow r.
and Blease concerning executive
clemency.
“Wliut sort of reformation or re
pentance liar 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, lie
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
tlie man is not entitled to pardon—
that’s ali.
“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" State when that mercy
(?) inflicts deadly danger upon the
