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.

NEW YORK, April 24.—Despite his famous declaration of “Never Again!” made to his friends a year ago, after his divorce from Mabel Taliaferro in Chicago, Frederic Thompson, creator of Luna Park, has married Selene Wheat Pilcher.

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.

WESTERN UNION HAS RIGHT TO CONDEMN RIGHT-OF-WAY MONTGOMERY, ALA., April 24.— The Western Union Telegraph Com puny won a victory to-day in the Ala bama Supreme Court over the Louis ville and Nashville Railroad, when it | was belli that the Western Union lias the right to condemn a right of way for its poles and wire* along the 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 condemns I 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 .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 ly considered as it is being con si d 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. Real Life Tragedy Staged in Rep resentative Howard's Office as Thornton Is Captured.

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 It ts not believed railroads will on- ! ;1!ISS t | 1( , Kun( j r y c j v u bill without de- | serit ative Howard on a forged check »se this legislation if the expeii- iiore anil without amendment and for accompanied by a forged note of in- ''' -ixteen year? you have been reviling ^ rom the Rev.

How Does the World Look to You? Depends largely upon your mental and physical poise. There’s a drug, caffeine, in coffee that makes the user bilious and headachy, irritates the heart, disturbs digestion and wrecks the nerves. Thousands of former coffee drinkers have found that the world looks bright when regular heart action, stomach comfort and steady nerves follow the change from coffee to Instant Postum Made of wheat and the juice of Southern sugar cane, it has a rich Java-like flavour, but is absolutely free from the coffee drug, caffeine. Instant Postum is sc processed that only the soluble portions are retained.

"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 law -abiding citizens of a sister State. "Blease should have let his pardon views, as first expressed, stand. By undertaking to amplify 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 the newspaper fraternity is utterly and completely happy over the outlook, The State treasury report shows that one locker club was licensed re- cen'ly in Romo. What has “Uncle Seab” Wright to say about that? If the game law is strictly enforced in Tift County, It looks ns if that locality is to become a paradise for phea sants. A year ago. five pheasants were re leased near Tifton. and immediately took to the woods. Nothing was seen or heard of them until a few days ago, when a certain gentleman, ex ploring some timbered land for lum ber prospects, ran acroes a covey of not less than twenty-five and foul., signs in plenty of many more in the neighborhood. He thinks there mat he a hundred or more around and about, and all those he saw seemed to be exceptionally line birds. As the law prohibits absolutely the killing or snaring of pheasants be fore the year 1916, this gentleman figures there should be several thou sand in Tift County by that time The climate appears to be admirably suited for them. The Commissioner of Commerce and Labor. Hal Stanley, is disconsolate over the suicide of his family's pet poodle.
