THE GEORGIAN’S NEWS BRIEFS. 7 NEWS OF SUNDAY, JULY 20, 1913 REPUBLICANS WON’T DELAY ACTION ON TARIFF BILL WASHINGTON, July 20.—Republi can Senators have served notice upon their Democratic opponents that there Is to be no unnecessary delay of the Underwood-Simtnons tariff revision bill. While the sharp tongue of Re publican criticism and dire prediction is to be loosed throughout the tariff debate, the Republicans do not plan to add any general filibustering tac tics or to attempt to hold up final ac tion on tariff revision. This policy has been partially out lined in the opening speech of the Republican opponents of the Admin istration bill, in colloquies on the floor of the Senate and in private confer ences among Senators. Within the next few days a series of vigorous attacks are to be made on the general principles of the lJnderwood-Sim- mons bill, following out the lines of Senator Cummins’ speech on Satur day. Senator Burton's address will be the first of these general speeches by regular Republicans. The general denunciations will bo followed by concerted attacks on cer tain schedules, where the Republicans Insist that the new measure will mean ruin to American industries. The Democrats are prepared to meet all the Republican arguments, and will keep up the file of debate until the Senate is readv to take up the bill section by section for amendment. When that time arrives, it is under stood to be the purpose of the Repuo- licans to make their final fight for amendment of the bill, hoping they can bi ,ak up the Democratic ranks, particularly on the sugar and wool schedules. If their efforts fail, as Democratic leaders insist they will, it is the present understanding that the Republicans will not interpose any final opposition to a vote on the bill. Democratic leaders were hopeful to-day, with the opening of the de bate out of the way, that Congress could push the tariff revision to an early enactment. The friends and enemies of the bill have been priming for the fight for some time, and it is believed tie speeches will follow' in rapid succes sion. Senators Simmons and Kern and other Democrats who are direct ing the tariff program are hopeful that the Senate can complete work on the bill late in August, and that but little time will be consumed in ad justing the differences between the two Houses. Efforts by the House Committee on Banking and Currency to perfect the Administration currency bill have failed to cause an echo of interest n the Senate. Even the lobby investigation, which occupied the center of interest a week ago, lost much of its life during last week. The Senate committee had not considered a third of the Mulhall let ters when it recessed Eriday, and the newly appointed House investigators are privately wading through the mass of correspondence, trying to find a place to begin. BLAMED BY SOCIALISTS. SEATTLE, July 20.—Responsibility for the riots Friday night in which the headquarters of the Socialists and Industrial Workers of the World were sacked and the furniture burned in the street by mobs of civilians led b sailors from the Pacific reserve fleet, was placed on Secretary of the Navy Daniels in a memorial to Presi dent Wilson adopted by the radical wing of the Socialist party to-day.

BARRED BY CONSCIENCE FROM FOOD OR SLUMBER PHILADELPHIA, July 20.—Declar- ing his conscience would not permit him to eat or sleep, Alexander S Woods, of East St. Louis, surrendered to the police here to-day and turned over $4,000 which, he said, he had stolen ffom the American Express Company in that city last Tuesday. A police patrol was about to take a prisoner to the station when Woods requested the sergeartt to take him, too. "I’m wanted in East St. Louis for taking funds from the American Ex press Company. Here’s the stuff,'' Maid Woods as he shoved a pile of money orders ;ind nearly $200 in cash into the hands of the astonished po liceman. "I want to face the music. I want my two little girls to know that even if 1 made a big mistake, I have tried to make reparation.” He said a man whose note he had indorsed failed to make good, and this had worried him so much that he left East St. Louis with his pickets filled with the Express Company’s money. PERJURY BY CHILDREN. FORT SMITH, ARK., July 20.— Rev. Marion Capps, of White Bluff, will be free to-morrow of the charge of murdering his two children, when Prosecuting Attorney Paul Little will appear in court at Greenwood and dismiss the case. This announce ment was made by Little to-night. Capps recently w r as convicted and sentenced to hang on a charge that he burned to death his daughters, Priscilla, 4 years olds, and Rose, 2 years old. The Supreme Court re versed the case and remanded it for new trial. Prosecutor Little said he was forced to dismiss the case, because his strongest witnesses. Bertha Capps, 15 years old, and Ellis Capps, 14. children of the defendant, had repudiated their former stories and would testify in favor of their fa ther at a second trial. The children told the jury at the first trial that they were tied in an oil-soaked bed. The girl said when she discovered the fire she saw her father leave their bedroom and lock the door. Since the conviction of their fa ther the children have made affidavits that they swore falsely at the first trial. The girl says she testified falsely because her father opposed her marriage to a neighbor's son. He’s the Real Eearly-and-Late V'orker of the 1913 Assembly. The . iing that worries Rep:o nta- tive Shelby Myrick, of Chatham, more than anything else in his legislative line of duty is the thought.that some of these days he may run out of work as chairman of the House Commit tee on Constitutional Amendments. At present, Mr. Myrick’s committee meets only morning, noon and night, and the thought continually obsesses the gentleman from Chatham that it might, if it tried right hard, meet little oftener. All the new county propositions are thrashed out before Myrick’s com mittee, and as there are twenty-odd new counties applying for admission. Myrick and his colleagues frequently are held far into the wee sma’ hours of the morning listening to patriotic and liberty-loving sons of Georgia discussing, pro and con, the merits of the proposed Grand Young County of Somethingorother!

BULGARIA NOW BEGGING HER ENEMIES FOR PEACE LONDON, July 20.—The advent of a new Bulgarian Cabinet, comprising a coalition of the Liberal groups, seems to have brought a prospect that peace negotiations soon will be en tered into. After vain attempts to negotiate separately with Roumania, the Bulga rian Government accepted the advice of Russia and Austria and offered to Roumania an important territorial concession. Bulgaria also oent dele- ^ gates to meet the Servian and Greek and presumably Roumanian reports to Nish to negotiate an armistice and peace. M. Radoslavoff, Liberal lead er, is the new' Bulgarian Premier. It is confirmed from Athens that Servia, Greece and Montenegro are ready to participate in these negotia tions. Turkey, however, has intro duced a new r complication, and has notified the European powers of her intention to make the Maritza River the new frontier, giving as her rea sons that she always has claimed this frontier, but that the powers j-et aside the claim in order to expedite peace; that the Porte would be prepared to settle the question by diplomatic means, but that the atrocities and vandalism of the Bulgarians in the occupied territories make it impossi ble to hope for a settlement, and that new conditions arising from the last war between the allies make it dou bly necessary for Turkey to obtain a frontier guaranteeing safely to Con stantinople and the Dardanelles. The Porte promises not to cross the new Maritza frontier, and asks the powers’ assistance in establishing it, so as to secure durable relations be tween Turkey and Bulgaria. It not considered likely that Eu rope will permit the decisions of the London conference thus to he thrust aside. TURKS TO OCCUPY THRACE. CONSTANTINOPLE.
