ton Landrum, of
Rome, Ga.
By rrlvate leonsei Wire.
New York, Augr. 16.—Urged
special search through the pleadings
of an aged mother and a sister, detec
tives today hunted for some trace of F.
Elton Landrum, 21 years old, who dis
appeared here on July 9 under myste
rious circumstances.
The young man’s home Is at Rome,
Ga He left there two years ago and
wandered about the country, but never
failed to write to his mother and sis
ter. He first went to Cincinnati and
from there worked his way to Detroit.
Then he came to New York, arriving
here July 9 and registered at the Cen
tral hotel, No. 224 East FortjNsecond
street. Landrum secured a small room
and at once went to bed, leaving a
call for 6 o’clock In the morning.
The call was given and that morning
he wrote his regular weekly letter to
hi.** mother. But since then nothing has
been seen or heard of the youth. The
detectives have visited uil of the
nmrgues and hospitals and have tried
to find some trace of his baggage, but
have fAlIed to get a single clew to the
missing man.
Hid FAMILY IN ROME
IS NOW GRIEF*STRICKEN.
Special to The Georgina.
Rome, Ga., Aug. 16.—Two years ago
Felton Landrum left Rome in company
with Emmett Clement supposedly on a
touring expedition. When they reach
ed Lexington, Ky., young Clement de
cided to return home and Landrum
drifted toward the North. The pa
rents of Landrum reside in Rome. His
father, L. M. Landrum, Is superintend
ent of- Floyd county almshouse. Ever
.since the boy left hon^e, two years ago,
he has written regularly to his parents
at least twice a week. The last letter
the family received from him was dat
ed from the Central Hotel In New
York July 9.
Miss Florence Landrum, sister of the
boy, states that they also wrote to
army headquarters at Washington to
learn whether or not he had Joined the
army and a reply came that no such
person had been enlisted. The family
fears that Felton has met with some
fout play, os he has written so regular
ly since his departure from home two
years ago. Young Landrum is said to
be steady of habit. He bore a good
reputation In Rome. He clerked i
while in a store In New York, and re
cent information from him was to the
effect that he had begun working In a
machine shop.
The family Is grief stricken and is
wiring all over the country trying to
And him.

New York, Aug. 16.—A sad scene
was witnessed today at the Hudson
street hospital, when Michael Rush, a
prosperous cattle breeder with a large
ranch at Rockford. III., arrived there
at 9 o’clock after a race across half
the eciitlnent to be at the bedside of
his brother, James, who was in the
hospital with typhoid fever. James had
died one hour before his brother reach
ed the hospital.
Six years ago Michael left Ireland
and came to this country. He took up
ranching at Rockford, III., and pros
pered exceedingly. He persuaded James
to Join him, and James arrived In this
city about ten days ago. He was taken

from typhoid fever. He was removed
to Hudson street hospital about a week
ago, and at his request his brother,
Michael, was informed.
Wires passed between the latter and
they told Michael his brother was sick
unto death, then he started a race from
Rockford, 111., to the bedside of his
brother. Three days ago Michael Join

train left the track, completely wreck

heart.
As there was no prospect of the
Journey being resumed for some time,
he hired an automobile and was driven
60 miles to another station, where he
made train connection and resumed
his Journey, arriving at the hospital at
9 o'clock this morning, only to find
that his brother was dead, having died
only an hour before. Michael was
heart-broken.

Special to The Georgian.
Columbus, Ga., Aug. 16.—A peculiar
condition of affairs appears in the
political situation in Muscogee county
and there is evidently much alarm
existing In some quarters.
The friends of the two leading can
didates for governor are no doubt
somewhat rattled as to the urgent
means adopted to bring them back in
closer touch with the voters.
Before the Smlth-Howell debate oc
curred here there was no doubt in the
minds of the many supporters of Mr.
Smith that his election was a foregone
conclusion, but somehow since that
time they do not appear to be so
strongly intrenched ns they thought
they were.
The Howell element was also greatly
strengthened by the debate, and de
clared their candidate surely would go
Into the governor’s chair.
Judge Russell was so sure that either
one or'the other of these two would
carry the county that he would not
come here until urged to do so by his
friends, and they would not ask him to
come until they became aware of the
uneasiness existing In both the other
camps. It is now seen that in order to
hold the Howell party together men
who are closely allied to him are sent
here to strengthen his cause, for it
appears that fears are entertained that
Judge Russell is taking votes from
Howell instead of Smith, as was at
first supposed. There is a vagueness
of expression and a lukewarmness in
enthusiasm that shows the voters are
troubled.
constitution of the United States,
I have this in two of his speeches.
Every member of congress In his oath
of office has to say that he will uphold
the constitution of the United States

is not given his seat in the national
house. He needn’t think 1 am through
with this fight, for I am not, and I am
going to stay In It to the last ditch.”

Mr. Watson’s reply Is said to be as
follows:
“Thomson, Ga., August 11, 1906.—
John M. Barnes, Esq.—Sir: Yours re
ceived. I regard It as an evasion of
my question. When you say that I told
you I would ‘have control down here,'
you state what Is false. I have no
doubt now that you have used the lan
guage about which I Inquired, and
now denounce that statement as an In
famous falsehood. You wrote me irt’
Florida, requesting me to be neutral
in the postoffice matter, and 1 was neu
tral. When my sister urged me to help
her get the office, 1 declined. Then
when you wrote me again and asked
my active aid, I excused myself from
doing for you what I had declined to
do for my sister. Any sane man would
have been satisfied with tills letter.
You were not, and It seems that you
have been denouncing me. Had Torn
Hardwick not have helped you, Judge
Speer would have knocked you out
again, and Hardwick would not have
helped you had he known that you were
my enemy. I went on your bond about
twenty years ago, when It required
courage to do it, and you are the only
man that I ever tried to help with a
Republican administration. Your base
Ingratitude Is on a par with your un
scrupulous slanders.

CANNON REPLIES
TO SAM GOMPERS
By Private Lcmanl Wire.
Watseka, III., Aug. 16.—Speaker Can*
non In his address says In part:
“Tariff revision In time of prosperity
always has halted, and always will
halt, business activity, production and
commerce. I indorse the platform of
the Republicans of Indiana, that tha
Republican party will revise the tariff
when It will do more good than harm
to the mass of ffeople.
“It Is vital that the party remain In
power the coming two years. If the
enemy should elect a house In Novem
ber that body In the Sixtieth congress
would not be In harmony with senate
Oompers. The power of the cour
Issue Injunctions to prevent injury to
property rights for which there Is no
adequate remedy nt law, Is older than
the constitution. The right of each
citizen Is to come and go to and from
his property without molestation arfd
to carry on business thereon, and he is
entitled to protection through the
courts.
"The organised labor that Mr. Gom-
pera claims to represent Is composed of
church, skilled and unskilled, they be
long to all parties, they are as Intelli
gent and ns patriotic as any other equal
number of citizens, of the republic.
’’In the business* of their organiza
tion I have no doubt that they will
operate with those they place In
authority; but In their party affilia
tions I am ready 10 take my chances
with them, without regard to the de
mands of Mr. Gompern, when he seeks
to control their action at the ballot
box.”
It remains to be seen whether this
classification will meet with strict en
forcement, and what effect It will have j
on the field.
