DECIDES IN FAVOR OHS Supreme Court of Georgia Hands Down Decision Declar ing That City Had No Right to Condemn Property. The supreme court of Georgia has reversed the lower court in the matter of the O’Dowd condemnation. It will he recalled that the case was carried up from/the miperlor court of Rich mond county by Mr. Hamilton I’hln- Izy, attorney for the Messrs. O’Dowd, who cont ended that the ctty had no constitutional right to condemn the property under an act of the legisla ture of 1912. The Messrs. O’Dowd, through their attorney, contended fur ther that the property was not In tended for levee purposes but for the Charleston and Western Carolina Rail road. Tho city contended, on the other hand, that tho act of the legislature did give the constitutional right to condemn and that while the railroad would use the property In question It had to do no because the city was forcing It to relinquish Its holdings on the river bank so that the levee might he built there. The city’s attorney contended also that It was a matter whfch vitally concerned the welfare of the city, that the levee must be constructed In or der to furnish protection from high water and that the city had a right to condemn the property to carry out the levee scheme. Deposited with the clerk of court Is the sum of *II,OOO, which the major ity of an arbitration board decided waa a fair price for the O'Dowd prop erty. Th* Messrs O'Dowd declined to accept the money on the grounds that It was an Inadequate price for their property. After the board of arbitra tors made the derlalon and the Mesara. O’Dowd were offered the money and they had declined It. It waa deposited wllli the clerk of court and the prop erty was condemned. The freight de pot of the C. A W. C.

Assurance Flood Protection Has Caused Investors to Pin Their Faith to City Augusta (Continued from Preceding Page.) will mean the washing away of a portion of the earth Into the river. If the government had any Idea that we would not complete the levee It la doubtful If we would have been al lowed to begin. “To carry the levee down to But ler's creek and to pave It will cost *1,000,000 approximately. We hope to get *250,000 fiorn the government t# supplement the *750,000 which we hope to get by passing the bond issue, but unless we pass the bond Issue there will he absolutely no chance to get the *250,000 fri rn the government. "I do not believe that there are any thinking people In Augusta who are against the bonds. It is inconceivable how anyone can oppose a measure the passage of which Is of such vital con cern to the whole community. Pass the bonds and complete the levee, thus making the city safe against high water and the tremendous devel opment that has started will continue. Not to pass the bonds would throw a damper on things which would simply be terrible. Augusta’s Advsnos Caused by Aaaur snos of Flood Protection. "It must be remembered that Au gusta’s tremendous advance during the past two or three years has been caused principally by the assurance of flood protection. We have adver tised to the wortd that we are build ing a wall which will forever bar the Savannah rlvor from our streets and there have been many large Invest ments here on accunt of the faith which people have placed In the as surance wo have given. Now, not to pass the bonds so that the levee may be finished, would be breaking faith with those who have come here and In vested their money and we would again be known throughout the country us a city that Investors should avoid and a place where people should not come to make their homes because we offer no security to them."

He did not know when he took the of fice, he said, what hla salary would he. He added that he knew It "would be all right.” “While you were president of the Norfthern Pacific was the matter of the New Haven presidency taken up?” Mr. Folk asked. "Yes Mr. Morgan told me he would make me president of the New Haven.” “Much Humiliated.” Mr. Mellen said that when'the com mittee reported about a year later that the sum of *rt,155,000 had been ex pended, he objected that the report did not go Into drtulls. ”1 saw Mr. Morgan,” he said, "and told him that all details of the mat ter should have been set down and that the report should have teld how euch separate sum was spent. Mr. Morgan was very abrupt In his an swer to mg.” "What did Mr Morgan say?” Mr Mellen objected to telling this, declaring that the conversation was personal. The witness snld, however, he left Mr. Morgan's office very much hu miliated. Commissioner McOhord. who waa presiding, ruled that Mr. Mellen should answer the question that the witness then said: “I told Mr. Morgan,” said Mr. Mel len. “that the matter was not In the shape It should he." Dropped It. “ ‘So you think you know more about how It ought to he drawn than I do?’ Mr. Morgan said I allowed I didn’t and dropped It. “I thought that I was entitled to know more about the transaction than T did know.

Hoke Smith is After Negro Recorder Deeds Atlanta, Ga.—The administration at Washington Is said to be seriously considering the necessity for the re moval of Lincoln Johnson, the Georgia negro politician who was appointed recorder of deeds by President Taft. The action is due to the efforts of United States Senator Hoke Smith. Some time ago he called the attention of the proper cabinet officer to the necessity of this action, but as that re sulted In nothing, he has now brought the matter directly to the attention of the President. It is reported that the removal of Johnson will follow the In vestigation by President Wilson. URRUTIA IS SAVED BY FUNSTON (Continued from Preceding Page.) was high in power at the capital.

Won’t Be Held. There appears little likelihood, however, that Urmia will be held. At ono time General Funston did tell him to leave as soon as possible, but relenting he sent word to him he might remain in Vera Cruz tempo rarily. TJrrutia at first professed that hl3 only desire was to remain here under protection of the Americans. Later, however, he,decided to go to Europe. This decision was due to the attitude of his own people rather than to any lack of hospitality on the part of the Americans. After he had been taken to a hotel from the police station, where he was detained, after his arrival, he crossed the street with his family, consisting of his wife and eight children to lunch at a case. * Stood Near Table. American soldiers accompanied him. They stood in the dining room near his table and outside other sol diers were busy preventing the Intru sion of angry natives who muttered tbelr threats and openly denounced him. Antonio Rivero de, la Torre, editor oT El Dictamen, who was the leader of a demonstration against Dr. TJr rutia, is held at police headquarters charged with disturbing the peace. He lias become ,a popular hero. Tne Urrutia incident has served to demonstrate in a striking manner the widespread anti-Huerta sentiment In Vera Cruz. Residents find it difficult to separate Urrutia from the Huerta regime notwithstanding the public dismissal of the man by the pro visional president. Think It’s Plot.

The prosecution relied strongly on the testimony of another Chinese who had witnessed the firing of the fatal shot. Lamar waited until the case was nearly over and everyone had de cided that the defendant would surely be hanged on the testimony of his countryman. Then the young attorney informed the Jury that the Chinese on the wit ness stand could not be believed be cause he had not sworn according to the Chinese custom. He said the Chi nese always placed their hand on a plate covered with the blood of a chicken when they took an oath. Inasmuch as this witness had been sworn with his hand on the Bible a book in which he did not believe, his oath would have no weight in making him tell the truth. He then made an eloquent appeal, and warned the ju rors of what they might expect in the next world if they sent a man to his death on the testimony of a Chinese who had taken an oath which he did not regard as binding. The prisoner was acquitted.
