In the meantime news continues to
reach here of the slaughter of officials
In various parts of the empire and of
additional mutiny- among -the troops.
The most ominous news comes from
Moscow. It Is alarming because of Its
vagueness.
The report lays that the sound of
field guns and rifle volleys was heard
outside of Moscow In the direction of
Khodlnaka plain. The cannonading
was heard at Intervals of from, three
to live minutes for more than an hour,
Interspersed with rifle tire.
Marines in Mutiny.
It Is believed that a great mass
meeting of the soldiers of the Moscow
garrison waa being dispersed by artllv
lery nre. Tne soldiers are known to

A corps of marines mutinied on
hoard the cruiser NIJnt Novgorod. In
the Black Sea. The soldier* who were
being taken against their will from
itdeasa to Bebastopol, revolted when
the cruiser waa midway between the
two cities and took the ship bock to
Odessa.
Officials Shot Down.
A band of rebels shot and killed a
police sergeant at Uola. a suburb of
Warsaw. An hour before the band had
killed two policemen and wounded an
other policeman and a gendarme who

Two high officials and a policeman

AS M REPORT
Trouble Is Ended in
“Regular Hallelujah
Time.”
Reporters ware barred from the
meeting of the Atlanta Baptist minis
ters* meeting Monday morning at the
First Baptist church when an attempt
made to settle a dispute that had
arisen concerning a report of the last
meeting of the Baptist ministers as
published In The Atlanta Constitution,
and refuted the next day In a card
signed by five Baptist ministers. Doc
tors J6hn B. Briggs, O. J. Copeland, A.
C. Ward, John E. White, W. W. Lan
drum and J. W. Millard.
The Baptist ministers met at 10
o'clock In the Sunday school room of
the First Baptist church. After prayer
and a song It was announced that B.
Y. Clarke, Jr„ a reporter from The At
lanta Constitution, had requested the
privilege of making a statement to the
ministers concerning the meeting last
Monday, hit report of which had been
declared a misrepresentation. By
unanimous vote the reporter's request
as granted.
In a paper of live long typewritten
pages Mr. Clarke had prepared his
statement. Mr. Clarke Is a lay preach
er of the Presbyterian church. After
devoting conelderkble time to telling
of his newspaper work In Atlanta and
how for four years he had striven to
lead a Christian Ilfs, he said:
Newspsper Men—end Religion,
'And right here I would like to say
that It Is hard fop a man to retain Ms
Christian character and mix with those
In a new|paper office.'
The last part of Mr. Clarke’s statement
dealt In detail with the charge of
the live ministers that he had mle-
repreeented the Baptist ministers of
Atlanta by saying that they had held
an antl-Torrey meeting, and/had
Minted a committee to go before
3uslnese Men's Gospel Union and pro
test against Torrejr* return to Atlan
ta. The following specific chargee were
made by Mr. Clarke:
-.That two men signed the card who
had not seen It and who admitted
Mr. Clarke that had they seen It they
wouldn’t have signed It. These were
Dr. Ward and Dp. Copeland.
That Dr. White cobid not Judge the
itrit of the me
ased outsider.
That Dr. Landrum admitted that he
had been correctely quoted In 'Clarke's
account of the meeting.
Crowd’s Fealty
Applause Wall

and
That “the card signed by the mints-
ten and published waa unjust and
false.”
That Dr. Millard made a statement
that was not Justified by the fact*.
That the mlnlsten found themselves
In an unpleasant situation and tried to
shift the responsibility on.a press rep
resentative. •
That It Is a common occurrence for
men to try to shove off on reporien re
sponsibility for snptesssnt situations
arising from newspaper stories.
Mr. Clarke closed his statement with
the remark: "t pave nothing to re
tract."
In Executive Session.
Following Mr. < Clarke's statement
there was considerable discussion as to
hat shoufll be done by the ministers,
was Anally decided that the body
should go Into executive eeselon and
that reporters should be barred. Mr.
Clarke was allowed to remain.
At the conclusion of the meeting ft
was learned that the Business Men's
» l Union would make a statement
public Tuesday morning and In
this will be Incorporated the resolutions
the Baptist ministers passed Monday
morning.
Mr. Clarke and the ministers reached
an understanding and, as was sold,
bad "a regular hallelujah time."

After the debate waa over Mr.

"Dog fall.”—Non-partisan.
On streets, In clubs and wherever a
few gathered together that was tjie
trend of comment atfer the Joint debate
In Rome Saturday.
Saturday forenoon the Howell people
were not In evidence. To even the
most casual observer the outlook
seemed an overwhelming Smith crowd
In the town, and from tne surrounding
country. A gray-halred patrtarcl
ably voiced the general reeling:
“Bf thnr’s eny Howell voters here
terday, blamed ef they ain't stayin' out
er sight."
But the Howell folk were In Nevln
opera house all right, enough of them
to make the balance so Marly perfect
that the man of unbiased sentiment
was pussled to definitely decide wheth
er It leaned this or that way.
Mors Applause for Howell.
The volume of applause for Mr.
Howell equaled that for Mr. Smith, and
was perhaps a span longer In duration
when the candidates entered the build
ing. Mr. Howell wee In splendid form
and bore an air of confidence and o
strength far keener than In the Joint
debate In Atlanta. And undoubtedly his
speech and-showing restored the confi
dence of his supporters.
Mr, Bmlth bore himself with accus
tomed confidence and looked upon his
adversary with a curious admixture of
contempt and pity. It was not needed,
for Mr. Howell gave a good account of
himself.
When Mr. Howell opened the ap-
>tause was big In volume and. hearty
n tone. He plunged Immediately Into
his speech, and whs accorded close and
respectful attention. Personalities did
not enter Into his hour's talk.
Frequently In his references to Tom
Watson voices thrust In blatantly with
yella of "Watson." The personnel of
the crowd was largely farmers. Thsy
came in their shirt sleeve* or doffed
coats as the sweltering heat of many
crowded bodies sent the temperature
up toward torrldlty.
