St. Petersburg, Aug. 11.—The
Announcement is made that an at
tempt was made to assassinate
Grand Duke Nicholas Xieholaie
vitch, at a blank cartridge firing
drill at the summer camp at Krae-
nove-Selo, which he was conduct
ing in person. Details are lack
ing.
It seems to be a well established fact
that the attempt to murder the Qrand
Puke Nicholas was ma'de while troops
were drilling In extended order and
engaged In volley fire. The grand
duke, surrounded by his officers
aides, was stationed well to one i
and nut of the direct line of Are,
that the attempt must.have been de
liberate. The open order of ,the troops
makes It quite impossible to tell from
what regiment the bullet was shot.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 11.—A report
comes from Moscow that the Wllmans-
trand and Morshank Infantry regi
ments recently sent into the province of
Vologda to put down agrarian disturb
ances are In a state of mutiny.
The soldiers summoned their of
ficers and a spokesman read to them
the following resolution:
"We are resolved not to shed the
blood of our brothers. We, ourselves
are peasants, and we will not prevent
them from trying to obtain their
rights. We warn you not to fire on
defenseless men and women for not
only will we refuse to obey, but we
will make you suiter for any attempt
ed brutality." t
When the mutiny became known
General Olassoff, assistant commander
at Moscow .was sent to subdue the mu
tineers. He did not succeed in his
mission.
The Novoe Vremya published a let
ter from Count Heyden which gives
the lie to the czar. He charges the
czar with attempting to make" a
bureaucrat of him, and sayi he and
his associates refused to enter the
Stolypln cabinet because their plans of
reform were rejected.
The appointment of M. Izvolsky,
brother of the minister of foreign af
fairs to the cabinet office of procura
tor of the holy snyod has become a
matter of great rejoicing among the
lower classes of St. Petersburg. In
this appointment they see the downfall
at Peter Pobledonoataeft, the presen"
Incumbent and the most hated lndl
vldual In all the czar's domains.
At Odessa an unknown, well dressed
girl, about 18 years old, threw a bomb

TRY A WANT AD

WHEN JJSCAPED
Warrants Are Out For the
Arrest of His Son and
Others.
By Private Leaaed Wire.
Chicago, Aug. U.—Mafrank Kowal-
»kl, paying feller of the wrecked Mil
waukee avenue state bank, committed
suicide laat night by shooting himself
In the head. The young man had been
subjected to criticism by depositors In
the bank who had charged him with
complicity in the frauds.
Kowalski'S tragic death Is the third
following the closing of the doors of
the looted Institution. Henry Keopke,
a depositor,, shot himself, and John O.
Vlaslr, also a depositor, dropped dead
of heart failure after hearing of
crash.
Bench warrants for the arrest
Theodore Stensland, Paul O, 8tensland,
Cashier Hering and divers others were
issued today by Judge Smith. A spe
el' 11 grand Jury Is to be summoned next
week to thrash out the condition of
the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State
Bank.
Several employees of the bank are to
be placed In custody. It Is Intimated
that outsiders other than the bank of
ficials themselves may become Involved
In the Indictments that necessarily will
follow. Traces of a conspiracy In which
an adviser of Stensland had a part
have been found.
Revelations from the report of the
state bank examiner convince the au
thorities that Stensland took *100,000
with him when he died. Bank Exam
iner Jones and Assistant State's Attor
ney Olsen believe that the big forger
is Cashier Hering.
Dirsctors Get Loans.
Aside from the suicide of Kowalski,
the principal developments were:
Night meeting of the bank discloses
the fact that directors received loans
with little or no securitv and that
Stensland sent checks through signed
only "409." Detectives were unable to
find AI. A. Labuy, whose testimony was
desired. Other directors were grilled.
Figures, which are official, place the
actual available assets at (1,342,000,
with questionable assets of *1,262,000;
the total of both classes showing a
prlma facie value of *2,064,000.
May Get Dividends.
Receiver Fet, of the bank, announced
the dividend to depositors would be
declared within 30 days. It win not
exceed 20 per cent and may not reach
20 per cent
A large percentage of *1,112,000 of
deeds of trust hitherto regarded as of
unquestioned value, Is expected to
prove worthless aa assets of the bank,
because of President Stensland's ma
nipulations.
Cashier Henry W. Hering Is virtually
Implicated in the bank forgeries, but
bolds himself stolidly against a con-'
fesslon.
*800,000 Notts Forgsd.
The amount of money represented In
forged notes, now runs up to *600,000.
The bank waa yesterday designated by
Assistant State’s Attorney Harry Olson
ns "a forgers' nest,” A mysterious spe
cial account was found In the bank's
ledgers, containing names and cash
entries, and one theory Is that Stens
land ordered It kept to offset forged
note withdrawals from the bank, cash
being entered fictitiously as well
withdrawn.
Depositors, Incensed at tha attitude
of Theodore Stensland, the son of Pres
ident Stensland, plan to procure hls ar
rest on so many separate warrants that
he will be unable to furnish the bonds
required..

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
IN HOME STRETCH
With only three more working days
ahead of It the general assembly will
do some tall hustling Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday to clear the boards
of all pending and Important matters.
Already It looks like some rather Im
portant measures are doomed to death,
The Hall anti-pass bill Is evidently In
cold storage, and from present pros
pects even the Carswell anti-pass
measure, which affects only members
of the general assembly, Is to meet a
similar fate.
Senator Wheatley Is making heroic
efforts to get hls lieutenant governor
bill through the house, but so far haa
met with fierce opposition. It may '
brought forward within the final wl
up and pass, as It Is understood that
there haa been some change of front
among certain hitherto hot opponents.
The senate haa yet to act on the
state auditor measure, and the Hall tax
assessor bill Is on the table ready to
be taken up at any time. In light of
the fact that the Ivons* haa held back
on senate matters and the senate has
reciprocated In part by passing little
recently but local house measures, a
mass of semi-local and general meas
ures are pending In both branches.
Probably a ton of local matters of
lost session and this ar* doomed to
slumber tranquilly until ;ho end. The
rest of the way It Is going to be work
from the word go. The house may
have night sessions the final two days,
while the senate will probably back

Patience has ceased to be a virtue
and my self-respect makes further for
bearance Impossible. I feel sure that
In the course of hls cowardly crusade
I have had the good will of every good
cltlsen of this state who Is personally
well acquainted with either Mr. Smith
or myself.
Those who do' not know either of us
should be Informed as to the real
character of the blatant bully who bos,
through no fault of my own, made, me
the constant target of hls malicious In
nuendoes.
The first time I ever heard of him,
hls name was reeking with the slime of
eo foul a scandal that fond mothers
stopped their daughters' ears when hls
name was uttered and Idle schoolboys
vying with one another In vulgarity
wrote that name on back fences and
outbuildings.
From that day to this, hls name bos
been the synonym of selfishness, du
plicity, hypocrisy and cowardice.
He has not hesitated to slander hie
superiors whenever tnat course could
bo made to serve hie purposes, and In
every case has evaded responsibility by
recourse to shameless subterfuges.
Today he stands branded In the col
umns of the public press and in private
letters, by eminent cltlsens of Geor
gia who have exhausted the range of
English adjectives from razor-back to
hypocrite, and from character assassin
to common liar. In their efforts to cor
rectly characterize this swaggering
swashbuckler with whom no man's
reputation Is considered sacred.
There Is not a member of hls own
profession, wbo Is familiar with hls
methods, who does not. In hls heart,
hold him responsible for unfortunate
conditions that have followed hls per
nicious example, and few men In hie
own community woqld trust hls loyalty
or fidelity with hls own selfish Interest
it stake.
I am Indeed sorry to tire the patience
of the public In presenting this picture
of the miserable mountebank who has
sought to Impose upon their credulity
by sowing secret poison and broadcast
ing whispered threats against me,
among the people with whom' I have
sought to lead a peaceful life for forty
years. No pen can paint the pitiful
ilcture of this captious charlatan who
ins never In hls life been consistent
save in the discord he has sown and
the ruin he has wrought. 1 will not
further pursue the effort of portrayal.
Those of the public who continue to
hold interest In the Dempsey case can
read the sworn allegations of Mr.
Dempsey which are on file In the office
of the clerk of the city court of At
lanta.
If these sworn statements are true,
as the affidavit of Mr. Dempsey seems
to assure, then the apparition of shack
les and Stripes conjured up by the
seared ronsclence of Mr. Smith Is easi
ly to be accounted for, and there Is

DEMPSEY FILES SUIT
AGAINST HOKE SAAITH
Suit was filed In the office of the
clerk of the superior court Friday af
ternoon by Sam D. Dempsey against
Hon. Hoke Smith. In this suit Mr.
Dempsey seeks to recover the sum of
*800, with Interest from June 4, 1*01.
alleged to be due from a settlement Mr.
Smith effected for him with the West
ern and Atlantic railway as the result
of s damage suit.
October, 1902, he employed Hoke Smith
as attorney to collect a claim for dam-
agea against the W. & A. railroad, the
agreement being that he wap to give
itp 20 per cent of the settlement as at
torney’s fee.
About June 1, 1902, he eats forth, he
was summoned by Mr. Smith and told
that he could get a settlement of *2,6
but no more, and Mr. Smith advised
him to accept It. Thereupon he agreed
Later, he says, Mr. Smith had hlir
execute a voucher of the W. A A. rail
road for *2,500 In consummation of the
settlement.
Then, he sets forth, Mr. Smith took
possession of the voucher and endeav
ored to sottle with Dempsey by paying
him two-thirds of the atttounl, retain
ing one-third as fee.
But after a lengthy argument, he
eaye, agreed that he was entltlod to
only one-fifth and gave Dempsey
check for *1,419.15.
Then, he says, he aftorwards learned
that hls attorney had proposed to set
tle for *>,600 and not for any sum leea
until after ho had come to terms of
agreement with Dempsey as to fee.
Then the petition sets forth:
16. Your petitioner shows that hls at
torney, In offering to fhe representa
tives of said .railroad company to set
tle hls claim for the sum of *1,500 at
tached the condition that two other
claims against said company In favor
of parties represented by the said Hoke
Bmlth should also be settled at the
same .time,' so that the aggregate sum
to be paid by the railroad company In
settlement of the three claims would
amount to approximately *6,000.
17, Your petitioner says that hls at
torney did not at any time comntuntcate
' itlmate to him that " '

Railroad Values Increase
Over Six Million
For 1906.
Leaving out the returns of the Sen
board Air Line, which will probably
require an arbitration to finally settle,
the total return of railroad property In
Georgia ahows an Increase of *6,748,>93
over 1906.
The totals for 1906 were *81,017,994
and for 1906 *88,76*,*86. If the In
crease of *477,000 on the Seaboard’s
returns levied by tile comptroller gen
eral, Is allowed, It will make the In
crease for 1(06 *6,26,192.
As yet no agreement has been reach
ad with the Seaboard regarding Its rv
turns. Local officials held n confer
ence with Comptroller Wright Hatur
day morning, but no definite under
standing was reached. General Wright
notified the parties that further con
ferences were unnecessary, and that It
hod simply resolved Itself Into a ques
tion as to whether the Seaboard would
or would not accept hls assessment.
One hundred and ten counties have
ported to date a net Increase of *2(,<
0,000. The others will probably adi
ten million more to this, making total
property valuatlona of all kinds In
Oeorgls show an Increase of something
over *40,000,000 for 1906.
or Intimate to him that this proposition
had Been made to the railroad company
or accepted by Its representatives or
that the rights of your petitioner were.
In any way, connected with, or depend
ent upon, the rights or Intereeta of any
other client represented by said attor
ney.
18. Your petitioner alleges that said
railroad company, through Its repre
sentatives, finally agreed to said propo
sition of settlement, whereupon your
petitioner’s attorney endeavored to In
duce said railroad company to Issue one
voucher for the approximate sum of
*5,000, the proceeds to be distributed
by said attorney, but that said compa
ny refused to consolidate said settle
ments In the manner proposed and re
quired said -attorney to obtain the ex
ecution of reparate vouchers In favor
of each of said clients.
19. Your petitioner says that hls at'
torney, thereupon, directed the repre
sentatlves of said railroad company to
prepare a voucher for *2.500 In favor of
your petitioner and separate vouchers
for hls other two clients for the re
maining sum Involved In the settle
ment. Your petitioner says that this
afforded to the representatives of said
railroad company their first Intimation
that It was the purpose and Intention
of said attorney tb apportion to your
petitioner the sum of only *2,600 In set
tlement of hls claim for damages.
The petitioner then sets forth that
when he discovered the true condi
tion" he wrote a letter to Hoke Smith
asking about It, but that Mr. Smith.
Instead of replying, caused an attache
of the office to seek a personal Inter
view.
Another letter, he sets forth, drew
the response that on January 21, 1906,
Mr. Smith would leave the city to be
gone a week and would, upon hi* re
turn, take up the matter again,
2*. Since that time, the petition
goes on, your petitioner ha* received no
further direct communication from Mr.
Smith as proililsed In his letter, but
shortly afterwards one Frank M.
Hughes, an attorney at taw, called upon
your petitioner at hls brother's resi
dence, stating that he was a warm per-
■one! friend of petitioner's attorney,
Hoke Smith, and that he wanted to get
all of the tacts with reference to your
S riltloner’s claim against the said Hoke
mKh, stating that be could get your

vorable. Tho previous question was
called and Mr. Hall demanded u vote
