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.

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. The rivet Just missed Taffel.

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.” Rainbow Noah Saw First in Existence Weather Prophet Devoe Tells Why No Rain Preceded Deluge.

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.

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.

The money, he maintains, was in a wallet under his pillow when he drop- ped to sleep, and, til though 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 well as a Paris syndicate had agreed to furnish means to take the claims' to court.

Cannon's Bust Grins At Debate on Rules ‘Smile Caused by Memory of Ap propriation,’ Georgia Lawmak er’s Retort to Mann. WASHINGTON, April 24.—“I wont out in tho corridor a moment ago and looked at the bust of 'Uncle Joe' Can non. He had a broad grin on his face,” said Minority Leader Mann to the Democrats during the debate on rules. ‘‘It was ‘Uncle Joe’ who drew the resolution sixteen years ago to pass the sundry civil bill without de bate and without amendment, and for sixteen yean you have been reviling him for something he did, and which 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 nue Presbyterian Church of Atlanta. you are doing now."
