Triple Entente Not to Land Its
Troops, Although Defied by
Capture of Scutari.
VIENNA. April 24.—The Au»-
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
th« boldness of tiny Montenegro,
which defied the powers and captured
Scutari, may save the "littlest king
dom" from invasion or other punish
ment. It was iearned to-day from a
high diplomatic source that the Triple
Entente—England, Russia anil France
—has refused to disembark troops on
Montenegrin soil, nor will these pow
ers encourage Austria to invade Mon
tenegro.
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
courageous behavior and defiance of
powers immeasurably greater than
herself has turned the tide of opinion
in some quarters
Austria insists thRt Scutari remain
an Albanian city, but the Montene
grins will not consent 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 decreo of
the powers that the city shall remain
Albanian territory.

PARIS, April 24.—An International
t ommislson, 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 15 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 $30(,.000,000
war indemnity also w ill be settled.

Gott Sci 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
.somebody, oweu him a new coat, and
has put in a claim for the garment.
Taffel, who lives at 101 Martin
Street, was picking his way • arefully
along the improvised sidewalk where
the new Hurt skyscraper is going up,
when:
A fiery streak flashed before his
eyes, 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 hiss, 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 Edgewood Avenue, blushing deep
er and deeper at its offense.
One of the men who catcher red-
hot rivets in a tin bucket impaired
his fielding average badly by missing
an easy chance.

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.”

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
was held that the Western Union has
the right to condemn a right of way
for its poles and wires 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 condemna
tion proceedings.

resentative Howard’s Office as
Thornton Is Captured.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
There is no longer any doubt that
intelligent, aggressive and sus
tained effort will be made in the next
Legislature to effect constructive legi
slation in Georgia in the matter of
railroad grade crossing**.
This effort is not to be framed along
lin*s 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 epunties to pay for the ap
proaches.
Walter J. lleadden, 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 cas*e 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 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
who confidently predict the incoming
Legislature undoubtedly will give t’ •
legislation effective shape.
And, anyway, the question will he
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*
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
dowm his entire theory of the par
doning power, and confesses it to be
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
pentance 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 fit for it to become operative not
only in South Carolina, but every
where. If Governor Blease pardons
a 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 one State w hen 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 has
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 show’s
that one locker club was licensed re
cently in Rome.
What has “Uncle Seab” Wright to
say about that?
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 w’ere 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
her 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, aud all those he saw seemed
to be exceptionally fine 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.
"It was a deliberate case of sui
cide,’’ said the Commissioner. "The
dog had too much sense not to know
he was eating strychnine when he
got hold of some intended for rats.
He had been more or les’3 melanchoi
for some time, and we had wondered
what ailed him. When he ate strych
nine and went off and lay down and
died immediately we knew it was
suicide. Everybody at home feels
mighty bad about poor Fido’s un
timely end. too. If only w e had known
what hurt him we would have made
everything all right. But we didn’t.

Aid to Wirtz Heirs

City of Amsterdam Asserts Claims
to Great Dutch Estate Long

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 r > date. Most
of the vast properties are in Am

dispute the existence of the estate,
but asserts that the rights of the
heirs were outlawed more than a gen

the Democrats during the debate on

WASHINGTON, April 24.—Like a
faultless dramatic climax, when the
threads of a gripping tragedy arc-
drawn with unerring precision, and
the villain is enmeshed in its colls, the
arreet here of one of the cleverest
criminals of the land closed a little
drama of life, the victim in despair
relinquishing the tight and declaring:
“I have been caught red-handed. I
guess I will spend the rest of my life
in .’all."
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 {he officer,
disguised, but in readiness for action.
And the action came quick and fast,
as Representative Howard, the real
sleuth of the cast, unfolded the mis
deeds, in the way of forgeries, of the
vl-tim.
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 stage-like precision, and de
clared:
Randolph Bares 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
years ago he secured $25 from Repre
sentative Howard on a forged check
accompanied by a forged note of in
troduction from the Rev. Richard
Orme Fllnn, pastor of the North Ave
