Quartermaster Has Conference
With Governor and Important
Result Is Expected.
General William G. Obear. whose
dismissal from the military service of
Georgia has been urged to the Gov
ernor by Adjutant General Nash, has
conferred with the Governor as to his
(Obear’s) status In the military es
tablishment, blit no definite statement
as to the results of the conference
have been given out.
General Nash, while qualifying cer
tain statements credited to him.
“stands pat” on his general recom
mendation that General Obear’s posi
tion be abolished and his salary
stopped on January 1.
The Governor pays he is giving the
case his most careful consideration,
and will make known his determina
tion when lie has looked into every
legal phase of It
General Obear is understood to have
taken the position that his office of
quartermaster general is legal, and
that he bn* even right under the law
to hold it.
Obear Blames Politics.
It i* said also that General ubear
lays ail of the trouble in the Adju
tant General’s office to political and
personal dislike. Lie male*a no bones
of admitting knowledge of General
Nash’s enmity toward him, and says
he has purposely avoided coming in
contact with Nash any more than
possible, because of ills _ realization
that the chief of the department die;
not care for him particularly, either
as an officer or as a man That,
however, he has not permuted to in
terfere with his duty as quartermas
ter.
General Nash lias gone to far as to
let it be known that the Governor
must choose between himself and
Obear. If Obear is retained in his
present position, over Nash’s protest,
it will so seriouslv embarrass the lat
ter that he may resign.
It is whispered that Obear may re
tire gracefully, .and time relieve the
situation but that is not authorita
tive.
In the meantime the Governor is
•erplexed. He will not make either a
personal or political Issue of the
trouble in the Adjutant General’s of
fice. but will take the course the law
plainly lays down.
One of Them Will Go.
At the same time i'- is evident that
whatever course he takes, that course
likely will mean the elimination of
either Obear or Nash
hi regard to Governor Brown's ap-
ointment of Obear to be quartermas-
er generd and the statement cred
ited to Nash that Brown made the
appointment “purely through kind
ness of heart.” General Nash says:
“Governor Brown, in retaining Gen-
eral Obear in office, obeyed the man
dates of the stale laws, and restored
the two offices which had been con
solidated. or merged into one. bv his
predecessor as l-e held at all times
the State's laws supreme.
*‘\t that Dm* there existed no Fed
eral laws conflicting with the State
laws, and Governor Brown was en
tirely right in restoring the two of
fices as prescribed bv the State law.
Now. however, the Federal law does
not recognize the office of quarter
master general, and the State laws
are also mandatory that conformity
with Federal laws shat' be made.
“Therefore, it is now entirely proper
that the office of quartermaster gen
eral he discontinued r vacated, and
the State statute repealed at the next
session of the Genera' Assembly.”

Millions of Dollars of Damage Is
Done by Terrific Storm on
Upper Atlantic.
NEW YORK, Der. 27.—With thlr-
teen lives lost and millions of dollar*
of damage done to property, the ter
rific wind, hall, rain and snow storm
which began Christmas night ani
swept over five States abated to-day,
leaving a cold snap in Its w’ake. In
this city the thermometer dropped 16
degrees to 27 degrees. Colder weath
er is expected before night.
The storm was one of the fiercest
that ever swept over this section of
the country.

Undaunted, coal barges, with eight
seamen, lost their lives when the
barges foundered off Forked River,
N. J

found on roads near Trenton, N. J.
A workman was drowned in the
East River when his rowboat was
swamped.
The full force of the storm fell
upon that stretch of the Jersey coast
which reaches out into the Atlantic
Ocean like an elbow. Records at
Long Branch showed that the wind
attained a velocity of 122 miles an
hour, the highest ever recorded in the
\\>ather Bureau.
Seabright, N. J., was the plaything
of the ocean. Waves, whipned by the
gale, tore away supposedly flooo-
proof bulkheads, smashed bathhouses,
washed away or undermined fisher
men's cottages, tore away portions > f
tw<> big summer hotels, inundated th-
main streets and buried railroad
tracks under 18 inches of sand, brick
and rock.
