State Veterinarian Highly Pleased
by Ruling of Supreme Court
Holding Act Valid.
Officials of the State \'etormun.’n's
office were pleased Monday by news
that the State Supreme Court had
upheld the validity of the tick erad
jcation law by which counties are
authorized to spend money in alding
the State to exterminate the cattle
tick.
The decision means that opponents
of the measure will have to quash
other suits that are pending, it hav
ing been desired to prevent counties,
through their ordinaries or com
missioners, from spending any money
in aid of the fight to eradicate the
tick in Georgia.
Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, State Veteri
narian, declared this decision would
establish the legality of the statute
heretofore enufu-d by the Géneral As
sembly. Cattle raising is becoming
such an important and profitable in
dustry in Georgia, he said, that the
fight against the tick is of great ne
cessity, for the insect causes heavy
loss by its inroads on healthy and
otherwise thriving herds.

Carden referred to either Jake God

Circumstances surrounding the as

persistent that the shot was meant for

arrest quietly, and told the Sheriff he
would like to stay until aftérthe fu
peral. which was to be held a few
minutes later. The request was grant
ed, and Hiers was one of the most
composed onlookers as the ln*\ was
lowered into its resting place. The fu

and told Sheriff Boyd, “T am ready e
Corresponded With Girl.
Hiers talked freely, and admitted
| that he had written Miss Carden prior
to her marriage to Will Hiers, who is
a distant relative of hig, but sald the
correspondence ceased after they had
exchanged three letters. He sald she
wrote the last letter. Hiers declared
he had never made any kind of threat

lflowopan King Makes Record
Trip to Bergen to Super
vise Relief.
(By International News Service.)
CHRISTIANIA, Jan. 17.~0n a spe
‘r!lll train that shattered all records
ifor speed on Norwegian rallways
‘Km; Haakon arrived at Bergen to
{day and took personal charge of the
relief measures in the city that was
swept yesterday by a fire that caused
$9.000,000 loss and made nearly 3,000
persons homeless
The King was accompanied on his
Journey by members of his personal
#taff and General Holtfodt, the Nor
weglan Minister of Defense
Martial law was declared in the
stricken city to-day, not because of
any outbreak of disorder, but to fa
cilitate the relief measures which
were inaugurated by Norweglan
troops as soon as the fire was under
control.
Though no lives were lost in the
fire, 33 children and 17 men and wom
en were frozen to death or died from
exposure before they could be given
shelter. Supplies for the homeless are
lacking, owing to the fact that all the
storehouses in Bergen were destroy |
by the fire, which swept over lhe
Lusiness section and the poorer resi
dential’ district surrounding it
Following the train carrying King
Haakon there were dispatched from
here seven trains carrying clothing
and food for the homeless. it is hoped
that within 24 hours all the sufierers
| will be given relief.
A regiment of Norweglan ploneers
began the erection of temporary shel
ters last night. This work was well
under way to-day, while other troops
were clearing away the debris in the
section where the flames «l(\slruyrl
banks, hotels and business housés,
The city was in darkness last night,
owing to the destruction of the elec
tric lighting system.
Business is at a standstill, as Ber
gen is the port through which passed
much of the foreign trade of Norway.
Its prosperity has been increased by
the war, but cargoes oonsigned there
now will be temporarily diverted to
other ports.

Slain Doctor Knew of Purchase ofi
Motorcycle, Figuring in Con
-session, Says Dealer.
By L. V. B. RUCKER,
;s:.« Correspondent of International
News Service.
PROVIDENCE, R. L, Jan, 17 The
motorcyele sald to have been used
i the negroes charged with murder
ing Dr. ¢ Franklin Mohr was bought
by % Vietor Browsi on May 28 Dr
Mohr and Miss Emily Burger were
shot n Augu al Dr. Mohr knew
of the purchase, and guaranteed the
payment
This was the testimony in the Mohr
murder trial to-da by Samuel V
Bryant Providence dealer, who said
Brown made the purchase
In a dull and uninteresting morning
session, Mrs. Mohr took some com
fort from Brvant's testunony
Police witnesses had testified that
Brown and Henry Speliman, in their
alleged confessions, sald Mrs Mohr
gave them SIOO to buy a motoreycle
“Mrs. Mohr would be discharged
without a doubt should the case end
as it now stands She has not been
hurt a bit by the first five days of the
State’s efforts,” was the declaration
made to-day by a member of the zc
cused woman's counsel, when the trial
f the woman and the two negroes ciu
tered into its second week
To-day there ontinued to be gos
sip and speculation about the negro
chauffeur George Healis It was al
leged by the defense that Healis was
being kept incommunicado and de
nied the privileges accorded other
prisoners |
Mystery surrounded the probable|
figure to be cut in the case by Mrs. |
A. (3. Wright, who has yme forw I!'l"
with a story that a week before the
murder ghe overheard three Negroes |
yn a street car planning to rob some
body Her narrative was said to be
that one negro sald something about
the man “having plenty of money” on
. certain night and another mentioned
an “ideal spot.” The woman's s'\:"\"
should she he called, it was said,
woudd perhaps lend color to Mrs.
Mohr's contention t t the motive for
the murdee was robbery and that she
had nothing to do with it
Mrs. Mohr came into court just as
the crier said: “God bless the State of
Rhode Island and Providence Planta-
No sooner had she sat down than a
bailiff handed her a sheaf of letters,
“They are all from women I do not
know.” she said. ‘I appreciate their
ympathy, but I do not know them.” |
