Triple Entente Not to Land Its
Troops, Although Defied by
Capture of Scutari.
VIENNA, April 24.—The Aus-
trign Government sent a strong- *
Iy 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 f«»r
the boldness of tiny Montenegro,
which defied the power* 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 and France
—has refused to disembark troops or
Montenegrin soil, nor will these pow*
ers encourage Austria to invftde Mon
tenegro.
The other two powers In the Triple
Alliance. Germany and Italy, are not
evincing a burning derirc 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 that Scutari remain
an Albanian city, but the Montene
grins will not consent to give it up,
they claim, without receiving ricn
<*om pen .nation elsewhere. It'has been
the national ambition of Montenegro
for four centuries to own Hcutarl
A telegram from Reriin states that
the German press, both official and
unofficial, holds that the capture of
.Scutari wiJl not affect the decree of
the powers that the city shall remain
Albanian territory.

CHICAGO, April 24. Members of

ham College, New York City, made
I he statement in an address to the
Chicago Medical Society.
"The outdoor cure for tuberculosis.”
he said, "was recommended by Oalen,
a Greek philosopher, over 1,400 years
ago. In the Middle Ages surgeons
operated on the skull for fractures
and performed operations nearly
identical with the modern operation
for appendicitis.”

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
allroad 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,
nd whereby they may save them
selves a pretty penny of annual ex
pense.
It will be proposed to enact a law
roviding for overpasses or under
passes at all crossings designated as
dangerous by the State Railroad Com
mission, the railroads to pay for the
obstruction 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, 1ms llgured 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
ill more than compensate them for
the expense of carrying out the plans
suggested.
As the ca*e stands to-day, the
oads 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 train
grade crossings are approached
and to come to a full atop if danger
looms ahead in any form.
This matter, while not new par
ticularly, has never been so serious
considered as it is being con rid
ered nowadays, and there are thos
who confidently predict the incoming
legislature undoubtedly will give t’.i
legislation effective shape.
And, anyway, the question will be
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 expen s*-
reasonably divided between the
oads 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
down his entire theory of the par
doning power, and confesses it to be
a 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-
pentence ha* 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 lit. 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 eta to, it is a rank confession that
the man is not entitled to pardon—
that’s all.
*1 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 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 has
shown them to be insincere and
cheap.”
The Dalton Citizen is rejoiced
know that all newspaper men
Georgia have become reconciled
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
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 were re
leased near Tifton, and immediately
took to the woods. Nothing was seen
or beard of them until a few days
ago. when «a certain gentleman, ex
ploring 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 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 then* 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, Ha! Stanley, is disconsolate
over the suicide of bis family’s i*et
.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 levs melancholy
for some time, and we had wondered
v.hat 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 we had known
what hurt him we would have made
everything all right. But we didn’t.
Guest Says He Was
Drugged and Robbed
Traveling Salesman Alleges $15 Was
Stolen From Purse Beneath
His Pillow.
H. H. Parks, a traveling salesman
from Cincinnati, to-day has interested
Piedmont 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
re not touched. He said he went
to his room after midnight, fell into
a deep sleep, awoke dizzy and missed
the money as sooj 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 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 I i 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.
FORGER’S ARREST

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.—‘T wont
out in the 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 years you have been reviling
him for something he did, and which
you are doing now.”
‘In that bill there was $150,000 for
a soldiers’ home in Danville,” drawled
Representative Hardwick, of Georgia.
"The memory of that was probably
responsible for the smile.”
WASHINGTON, April 24.—Like a
faultless dramatic climax, when the
threads of a gripping tragedy are
drawn with unerring precision, and
the villain is enmeshed in its coils, the
a meet here of one of the cleverest
criminals of the land closed a little
drama of life, the victim in despair
relinquishing the tight anil declaring:
”1 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
Aranoft 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.
Broomfield and H. S. Windham, 1006
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 year?. The Arm 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 Flinn. pastor of the North Ave
nue Presbyterian Church of Atlanta.
Joseph Aranoff, secretary of Senator
Martine, of New Jersey, was victim
ized for $350 on March 5.
Thornton to-day was arraigned on
two charges of obtaining money by
false pretense. He pleaded not guilty
and was bound over for trial
The complainants were Joseph
Aranoff, secretary to Senator Martine
Professor Evans Memorial Orator.
ATHENS.—Professor Lawton B.
Evans, of Augusta, son of the late j of New Jersey, from "whom Thornton
General Clement A. Evans, will make is alleged to have obtained $350 by
the Memorial day address here Satur- j means of a check, and Charles R.
