CZAR'S PRISONERS REVOLT WHEN GIRL IN SMTP DEATH Two Young Jewish Women Sentenced To Be Executed. A suit which will make some peaceful Justices elt up and take notice, even If It does not return to the petitioner his 2-months-old calf, the cause of the trouble, was filed In the superior court Monday by Arthur Payton against Vir gil Jones, justice of the peace for the four hundred and sixty-ninth district. Payton asks 11,000 damages for the al leged Issuance of warrants at the In stance of R. K. Echols, who claimed the calf, for the sole pupose of making costs for the Justice. Payton charges that In addition to being guilty of official misconduct In Ing possessory warrants for the . without first making proper In vestigation, Justice Jones discriminated against him. He alleges that when he swore before the Justice that the calf was his property a warrant for per jury, sworn out by Echols, was served on him, but that when he wished to have a warrant served on Echols for the same offense Justice Jones re fused to have It served. The petitioner claims that C. H. Mc Crary, an official of Justice Jones' court, coerced him Into agreeing to settle the rase by turning' over the calf to Echols. This, he says, he did. When his counsel learned how he had been treated Payton alleges that the attorney Instituted trover nnd ball pro ceedings against McCrary on August 14. In retaliation Payton says that Me Crary, Instigated by Jones, swore out a warrant before Justice Cook charg ing him with perjury. The petitioner says that after he had been arrested and sent to Jail he refused to be tried before Justice Cook, and, on being taken before Justice Orr, was dis charged. Payton claims that, while the dock- v ,s of Jones' court show that the pr - ecutors paid the costs, his calf been taken from him and never turned, nnd that the whole proceedings were simply for the purpose of extort Ing fees from him. , $40 for Flashing Piitol.

RIGHT MAN FOR THE PLACE When he stepped ashore after hla long and brilliant tour abroad with hla bride, Congreseman Nicholas Long- worth little dreamed that a new and Important honor was to be bestowed upon him. After the princely recep tions that he and Mrs. Longworth had received In foreign capitals his mind was turned upon the coming campaign In hla native state, Ohio, and upon his part as committeeman In the big fight being made by the International Poli cy-holders' Committee for clean man agement In the New York and Mutual Life Insurance Companies. He had no Idea, however, that the committee, which I* made up of governors of states, supreme Judges, high ecclesi astics, business men and powerful rep resentatives of great labor bodies, was to make him the secretary of Its cam paign. The responsibility entslled In this office Is alone great enough for msny men of no Common ability, but the committee, after careful considera tion of all possible candidates, selected Nicholas Longworth as Just the man for the place. His previous record In state and national politics and In the mbllc affairs of his city, coupled with ils strong poputsrity, were the points that won for him this his latest honor —an honor of no little Importance when It Is considered that the Interests of 1,480,000 policy-holders throughout the world sre at ataks.

A meeting of the county commissioners has been called by Chairman Hubert L. Cul berson for 3 o'clock In the afternoon of that day to decide upon the loca tions of the three campe, at which the men will make ihelr headquarters, and to formulate rules for the government of the force. Each of the twelve old men and the twenty-four new regular men has been notified to be at the meeting for the purpose of receiving Instructions re garding the rules which are to govern them, their hours of service and any thing else which the members of the board may have to tell them. Chairman E. V. Carter, of the roads and bridges committee of the commis sion, said Tuesday morning that noth ing definite had been done toward lo cating the camps or providing rules for thQ government of the force. Although there may be no kicking. It's a sure thing that If the men have to spend practically all of Ihelr time at the three stations s lot of dissatis faction will result. All of the men. express nn opinion have said that tluy are willing to be on duty and subject to call at any and all times, but most of them will balk when It cornea to spending twenty-four hours a day in the saddle and In camp away from their families. Every member of the present force has a telephone and can be located within a few minutes by the chief, nnd every one of the new men who has expressed himself has made known his willingness to pay for a telephone If he does not have to spend his time In barracks. A Georgian reporter has talked to many cltlaen* from different parte of the county, and with but few excep tions they have said that they would prefer to see the men etatloned at their homes when off duty than for them to be mobilised In three campe. It Is thought that much more efficient ser vice can be obtained In that way, As the men are well scattered over the county. It Is said that when the men gather In the office of the commission Wed nesday afternoon that will he the first time they have all been seen together by the commissioners since the reor- fipeclsl to The Georslan.
