With Barnes Still on Stand,
Noted Trial Opens What May
Be Its Final Week.
By L. V. B. RUCKER.
(Special Correspondent International
News Service.)
COURTHOUSE, SYRACUSE, N.
Y., May 17.—The William Barnes-
Theodore Roosevelt $50,000 political
libel suit to-day entered its fifth, and
possibly last, week with Barnes still
under cross-examination by John M.
Bowers, chief of counsel for the de
fendant ex-President.
With the Colonel fresh from Oyster
Bay, with r.o end of new ammuni
tion with which he hopes to be able
to discharge a bomb at the enemy,
and Barnes full of printing contract
explanations which he plans to
launch if the court will allow, the
last few days of the trial promised to
be spicy.
When court adjourned Friday the
defense, on cross-examination, had
just brought Barnes up to his rela
tions with the J. B. Lyon Printing
Company of Albany. Justice An
drews struck from the records all the
printing testimony which the defense
laboriously dragged Into the case, but
with no objections from the wily Wil
liam Mills Ivins, chief counsel for
Barnes, Bowers was allowed to ask
Barnes about his relations with J. B.
Lyons. On direct examination Ivins
was barred from questioning his
client about printing, but if the de
fense should be allow’ed to pave the
way with further questions along this
line Barnes has ready a long explan
ation of the intricate printing trans
action between The Journal, the Ar
gus and the Lyon companies.

People who suffer from constipation
are being poisoned by putrefying waste
accumulated in the bowels. It ruins
health, destroys vitality, causes mental
depression and many other dreadful
conditions that follow in its trail.
Scientists say that 95 per cent of all
sickness comes from the stomach and
bowels. The bowels should act well
once every day it is absolutely neces
sary to keep them regular. Mineral
waters, effervescent salts and such
things do more harm than good—you
’ have to keep taking them until they
have no effect at all and the bowels are
left in worse condition than In the be
ginning. The only sensible cure for
constipation and torpid liver is a tonic
laxative—purely vegetable—such a
preparation is Pigestit Elixir; it is not
bad to take and does not make you
sick. A short treatment of Pigestit
Elixir will cure the majority of cases
of constipation. Then to stay cured
you must keep your stomach in order—
the food you eat must be digested.
Brown's Pigestit tablets will digest the
food and keep it from souring and ac
cumulating in the bowels. You can
get both of these preparations from
vc>u r druggist or from W. L. Brown,

LISBON. May 17.—The revolution
has been completely successful. The
fighting has ceased and the capital is
resuming its normal aspect.
The Cabinet has been reconstruct
ed under the premiership of Jao Cha
gas and they took under considera
tion the matters of international pol
icy which have been a cause of con
tention for many months.
The casualties of the revolution are
estimated at 20 killed and 150 wound
ed, but reports that ex-Premier Costa
had been assassinated are officially
declared to be untrue.

Reign of Terror as
Rebels Seize Lisbon
(By I nternational News Service.)
MADRID, May 17.—The Portu
guese Government was taken over
to-day by the revolutionists. Presi
dent Arriaga hag fled and the reins of
power have been seized by Jao Cha
gas, who is reported to have pro
claimed himself dictator. The Lisbon
garrison, after a futile show of re
sistance, has surrender and word ha3
been sent to the detachments of pro
vincial revolutionaries that were
marching upon the city to retire.
Oporto has been bombarded by the
gunboat Limpopo, whose crew mu
tinied and joined the rebels.
In the fighting at Lisbon on Friday
67 were killed and 260 wounded. On
Saturday and Sunday more than 200
were killed in hostilitieg between the
loyal republican troops and rebels
throughout the republic.
Refugees arriving at Badajoz de
clared that anarchy prevailed
throughout the republic and, that the
royalists are preparing a counter rev
olution in order to lestore Manuel to
the throne. Scenes that have not
been paralleled since the days of the
French revolution are described by
the Portuguese refugees.
Hundreds of arrests are being
made. The revolutionary party is
sued a manifesto declaring that all
citizens found with arm? outside the
ranks of the revolutionary army
would be arrested.
A Lisbon dispatch says:
‘‘Ex-Premier Castro and ex-Minis-
ter of Public Instruction Mederios,
who were taken prisoners when the
Government was overthrown, were
removed from the military barracks
to-dav and placed in confinement on
the warship Vasco da Gama.”
Speaker William H. Burwell, of
Hancock County, the presiding offi
cer of the last House of Representa
tives, is in Atlanta for a day or two.
Mr. Burwell is a candidate to suc
ceed himself in the Speakership, and
the certainty of his election is con
ceded by practically all political ob
servers throughout the State
As a matter of fact. It Is the opin
ion generally that Mr. Burwell will
have no opposition for the Speaker-
ship when election day comes, al
though there perhaps will be some talk
of opposition until within a few days
of the assembling of the Legislature.
Mr. Burwell, it will be remembered,
had no opposition in the actual elec
tion last time, although several splen
did members of the General Assembly
were boosted for the speakership for
weeks prior to the meeting of the
same. Representative “Bob” Harde
man. Representative Henry Full-
bright, and one or two others, all had
a number of votes pledged to them
but before the balloting was had it
was so evident that Mr. Burwell was
to win against the field that all oppo
sition was withdrawn and his election
was made unanimous.
Mr. Burwell was very popular with
the membership of the last House.
Possessed of a splendid voice and a
fine know ledge of parliamentary rules
and practices, and equipped with a
mind that seemingly is inclined at all
times to conservatism and fairness,
Mr. Burwell piloted the House suc
cessfully through both of its sessions,
notwithstanding the fact that occa
sionally the waters were more or less
troubled.
Because of the large membership of
the Legislature and the great number
of bills introduced, there are always
Representatives who, for one reason
or another, are not able to accomplish
smoothly and easily some legislation
they have in mind. Now and then
the Speaker is put to the limit of his
resourcefulness to keep matters
straight.
It may be said to Mr. Burwell’s
credit, however, that throughout both
sessions of the last Legislature no de
cision of his was ever upset, and only
one appeal was taken from the chair,
which was overwhelmingly defeated.
Mr. Burwell is a young man of
splendid character and fine mental at
tainments. He has a record of twen
ty years in the Georgia Legislature
and it is without blot or blemish.
One may not always agree with Mr.
Burwell (in fact, this writer has not
always agreed with him), but it is not

Attorney General Warren Grice, who
in June will conclude a term of serv
ice in office of about one year, w r ill
take up thereafter the practice of law
in Macon.
When he was appointed Attorney
General, Mr. Grice’s home was in
Hawkinsviile. where he enjoyed a
splendid law practice. It is stated
that he has been offered some splen
did inducements to locate in Macon,
and he has decided to do so.
For a time it seemed likely that Mr.
Grice, after leaving the Attorney Gen
eral’s office, would locate in Atlanta,
and it is a great disappointment to the
people of this city that he is not to
do that. During his twelve months’
residence in Atlanta he has made a
great many friends, and has demon
strated his unusual ability as a law
yer.
No Attorney General of Georgia
ever worked harder than Warren
Grice, and no one ever obtained better
results. He is very quiet, very mod
est and very unassuming and Macon
may congratulate itself that he is to
be a citizen of that municipality.
Warren Grice would be a fine acquisi
tion to the citizenslrip of any town.
Judge Fred C. Foster, of Morgan
County, who will be a member of the
next Legislature, spent several days
in Atlanta last week.
The judge, although getting along
somewhat in years, is the picture of
health and, as he has been for years,
the pattern of good fellowship. He is
perhaps the very best story teller in
Georgia, and his supply of ticklesome
yarns seems unlimited. For a good
two hours the judge entertained a cir
cle of his friends In the Kimball
House, telling one story after another,
all of them apparently new. One mem
ber of the party said he believed the
judge made up his stories as he went
along, which may be true.
Judge Foster, who is an able lawyer,
is particularly interested in the mat
ter of land titles, and one of the prob
lems he Is studying now (with an eye
to legislation this summer) Is the
question of a more certain and defi
nite system of registration of land ti
tles than that now prevailing in Geor
gia. The judge is not settled in his
ideas as yet as to the character of
legislation along this line he will ad
vocate, but he has been looking into
the laws, not only of other States of
the Union, but other nations of the
world, particularly those of Denmark,
with reference to this question. The
judge gives it as his opinion that Den
mark has perhaps the best system of
land title registration In the world.
Sheriff Plennie Miner, of Fulton
Founty, is of the opinion that the sen
timent opposed to capital punishment
is growing stronger and stronger in
Georgia every day.
In a recent panel of Jurymen sum
moned on a capital case in Atlanta
Sheriff Miner noticed that exactly
half of the panel went off because of
the fact that every man composing
this half announced himself as op
posed to capital punishment.
As a matter of fact, in every capital
trial in the State of Georgia a great
number of the men refuse to qualify
for jury service, upon the ground that
they aie opposed to capital punish
ment; and this reason for not serving
on Juries trying in capital crimes Is
being advanced more and more in
Georgia all the time.
People who have kept careful tab
upon the trend of events throughout
the nation and who have gone to the
trouble of gathering truthful and de
pendable statistics with regard to this
matter are practically unanimous that
not only has opposition to capital pun
ishment increased in the United
States, but that, almost without ex
ception, wherever capital punishment
is abolished, it results thereafter
less crime than theretofore.
It will be, perhaps, a good many
years before ail forms of capital pun
ishment are prohibited in Georgia, but
it will not surprise some people pro
foundly if within the next few years
capital punishment in Georgia is re
stricted to one or two forms of crime—
particularly criminal assault.
There will be a bill introduced in
the next Legislature designed to pro
vide not only for one centfal place of
execution in the State, but for the
substitution of the electric chair for
the gallows. Whether this bill will
pass is problematical, but it will have
some very strong support in the next
Legislature.
Former Representative and Senator
William H. Ennis, of Floyd County,
who Is now Solicitor General of the
Rome Circuit of the Superior Court,
is in Atlanta.
Mr. Ennis has been kept pretty busy
throughput his circuit of late. and.
while he has had little time to visit
the capital, he has had time, neverthe
less, to study the conditions of the
country.
He says that, in his opinion, busi
ness conditions are decidedly better
than they were a few months ago, and
there is every prospect that times w ill
get better still. The farmers have
recovered in a measure from the shock
of their cotton losses last fall, ana
their crops are exceedingly promising
at this time. He thinks that the cot
ton acreage has been cut perhaps 15
to 20 per cent in his section of the
State.
