A stenographic report of all Bryan conferences with the Governor and Legislature of Cali fornia. with questions and answers, have been laid before the President. Mr. Wilson only sa.v : “I have nothing to say. 1 can not expected to comment upon a situa tion so delicate.” It is conceded at the White House that Mr. Bryan’s mission to California has been a complete failure. The President declares he has done everything possible. He now puts the responsibility upon the Senate, an nouncing that that body, by making treaties and in further negotiations, must attempt to do what he has failed to accomplish. Activity in War Office. Great activity is evident at the War and Navy Departments. Diplomatic assurances are made that such activity is without reference to Japan. This* is designed to avoid even a remote suggestion of mobiliza tion, which would be construed as a hostile act by Japan.

Most important of all is that the Navy Department has plans by which the Panama Cahal can be utilized within 50 days to shift the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific Coast. Could Be Opened June 20.

With three eight-hour shifts, the gates can be completed by June 20. The Isthmian (’anal Commission admits that work is being rushed with extraordinary speed. So far is the canal itself is concerned, it couid be flooded right now to ample depth for the passage of ships. The Gatun, Pedro Miguel and Miraflores lock gates, however, are not yet in place. It is stated that even slides in the Culebra Cut will present no obstacle. In case of emergency, a single day’s work could clear away sufficient earth to let any vessel of the navy type pass through.

K d Ktteret This picture is odd. Running for three days in The Georgian without any comment, it has caused endless discussion as to who It is and what it is. The Georgian has been besieged with telephone calls and letters from its readers asking for an explanation. We do not wonder that you had some doubt as to why it is here. This is the answer: The Georgian has purchased a serial story, more interesting than any Atlanta has had in years. This picture typifies the story. Based on the picture, what in your judgment is the title or ought to be of this story? Five dollars in gold will be paid to each of the five best literary judgments received. The title of the story has al ready been selected, and it is now in a sealed envelope in the hands of T. J. Peeples, cashier of the American National Bank. The answers will be judged upon their originality, their liter ary value and upon their analyti cal clearness. Address all answers to “Litera ry Editor, The Georgian," Atlanta.

And I would as re spectfully ask that the daily papers refrain from printing anything calcu lated to unduly inflame the public mind; and from using such headlines as are calculated to arouse undue in dignation. "And you may rest assured if faith ful and persevering work counts for anything, justice will be done. I have known, during my several years of experience as an officer and in crimi nal cases, undue haste in matters of this kind, brought on by excitement and enthusiasm, to produce a miscar riage of justice. But I have never known a cool and systematic investi gation of a tragedy, backed up by an earnest public sentiment demanding the apprehension of the real perpe trator of a crime like this, to fail of attaining the des-ired end.” Oldest Hen in U.
