Garlington, Who Declares That Hoke Smith Will Be Returned By An Enormous Majority J. R. SMITH MAY GET IN THE RACE FOR JUNIOR SENATOR Mr. Garlington Says That Richmond Delegation Has Not Had Conference on Mag istrate’s Courts Matter. May Be Split in Delegation. Mr. Samuel F. Garlington, one of Richmond county’ representatives in the legislature, spent yesterday in the city, on account of a ‘holiday being declared by the legislature on the “Glorious Fourth.’’ Mr. Garlington talks inter estingly 1 of the political situation in Georgia as he heard much gossip con cerning it in hotel lobbies and capitol corridors. “Hoke Smith will be elected to the senate overwhelmingly,’’ said Mr. Gar lington, “ for Joe Brown's announcement has fallen flat all over the state. Many men in the legislature who voted for Brown in his previous races will vote against him this time. He will carry very few counties in the state and some say that he will carry not more than three. Hoke Smith’s eminent fitness for the senate and the splendid record he has made since he has been there, will cause Georgia to send him back and with the biggest majority a candidate ever received. “As for the race for the junior sena torship, I believe that it will be a mat ter for the convention to settle. Slaton, Hardwick and Felder will run strong in different sections, while J. R. Smith, Joe Brown’s manager in previous races, is expected to offer for the junior senator ship, which will further complicate mat ters. “As for the gubernatorial race, that waxes warmer and warmer each day and it is going to be a great scramble.’’ Regarding local matters, Mr. Garling ton said that the Richmond delegation bad introduced a bill to permit the city to condemn property for levee purposes which bill has passed the house and which is now in the senate. With regard to the magistrates ques tion. Mr. Garlington stated that the Richmond delegation had not had a con ference on the subject but when a bill to abolish the magistrate courts was in troduced it would be with a referendum to the people. He said that there was a possibility of the Augusta delegation splitting on the manner of selecting a iudge for the proposed municipal court to take the place of the present justice courts. AN UNDESIRABLE ALIEN PROBLEM Man Born in Russia, Raised in England and Lived in America For Past 22 Yearp. London. —Whether Ike Willis, a Rus sian tailor aged 30, will permamently become a passenger on liners traveling between America, England and Rus sia when he comes oft of an English prir.on in a year's time is a matter for speculation. Willis is an undesirable alien, who was charged at London sessions with contravening an expulsion order which hail allower his practice of a confi dence trick. tiis counsel, Mr. Pur cell, told a curious story about him. Born in Russia, Willis was brought to England when two years old. He spent IS years in this country and niost of the remainder of his life he had been in America. He had a wife and two children. On two occasions he had been sent to Russia by boat, but as he was un able to speak the language the au thorities declined to allow him to land. The first time he was sent back here and he had now returned to see his wife and children and to take them away H was difficult to know what would happen to him in the circum stances and he might permanently be come a passenger on liners traveling between the different countries. The un. nted Willis was Bald to have been »w?ce rejected by the Unit ed Stateß authorities and If the Rus sians refuse to have him back i.e teems destined for a life on the roll ing deep unless he obligingly seeks a watery NEW STYLE LIFE-JACKETS; PREVENTS DROWNING London. —Following the Empress g! Ireland disaster and thj> statement that floating masses were discovered in the water "which on examination proved to be people with heads ilruup ing'beneath the surface, hanging limp ly in lifebelts,” the board of trade Is seriously considering a proposal only to approve life-jackets, which auto matically turn the persons encaged on to their tracks and prevent their heads from falh.’s Into the water. Such Jackets would prevent the drowning of persons through fainting In the water, which Is believed to have been a frequent cause of loss of life. ■ —» ■ - CITY AUTHORITIES TAKE CENSUS OF TREES; PARIS Paris. —The city authorities have Just completed a census of trees In Paris.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD 'WHERE IS IDE AMERICAN FLAG?' American Ambassador Had None—Came Near Being Charged With Lack of Patriotism. London—The American ambassador. Dr. Walter Hines Page, came near to be ing charged with lack of patriotism by the seven hundred American Salvation Army delegates on their official visit to him, but the misunderstanding was cleared by one of the embssy clerks. The Salvationists made an American patriotic display on this occasion as has been rarely seen in London. Bands play ed American patriotic tunes, the Am erican colors alternated with the Salva tion Army banners and each of the pa raders waved a small American flag as they marched through Victoria street past the window at which stood Dr. Page. The chief officers then paid a formal mil on His Excellency. But in the matter of bunting, the Embassy might as w'ell have been one of the big shops along side. “Where is the American flag?” anked one of the officers in a grieved tone of one of the clerks. “Our parade was simply ablaze with ‘Old Glory,’ and there isn’t a single flag displayed at the em bassy to welcome us. It doesn’t look patriotic.” The clerk explained that the flag of the embassy has purely ceremonial du ties to perform rather than patirtic or ornamental, and is displayed only on in structions from the state department at Washington. This explanation was passed rw'ound and seemed to satisfy the patriotic scruples of the visitors. On account of the comparatively small quarters American diplomats with out large private means necessarily maintain in foreign countries, Dr. Page was unable to invite the Salvationists to his home, and the embassy itself is like wise cramped. A reception in the stieet would have lacked dignity, so the dele gates felt a disappointment in not being able to shake hands with him. They have been rather spoiled on their wap over, they said, by Colonel Roosevelt, who fraternized with them, stood in shot groups and answered to the familiar title of “Colonel” and “Teddy.” The American Salvationists, who have been visiting London in parties, speak highly of their courteous treatment by the people. Fremier Asquith in Office ForvSix Years London.—Premier Asquith has now held office for just six years, thus ex ceeding in length the administration ot Disraeli, who occupied the office from 1874 to 1880. Since the days of Lord Liverpool, who was prime minister for fifteen years, there have been only three statesmen who have held the office for a langer period, without a break, than Mr. Asquith. Two of these. Lord Melbourne and Lord Palmerston, both were prime minister for about two months longer than Mr. Asquith has been so far. The third case is that of Lord Salisbury, who was prime ndnlster for exactly seven years, from 1895 to 1903. Lord Palmer ston. during his long term of power, was. like Mr. Asquith, leader of the house of commons, as well as prime minister. The others, however, sat in the fpjieter atmosphere of the house of lords. Tlie present prime minister, too, has taken an extra burden of the office of secretary of war. and his administra tion has been' at least as full of hard work as any in modern times. Through It all Mr. Asquith, although the strain must he great, seems to thrive. He has certainly aged some what hut so have all those who have gone' through the last few- strenuous years with him. He Is still the master of the house of commons, having no equal, except perhaps Mr. Balfour, In de bate. while ns a political tactician none come within miles of him. Even should the Ulster question prove to he beyond his powers of getting over difficult sit uations, he will he able to look back upon it long series of successes. AMALGAMATION OF TRADE UNIONS IS PROGRESSING London.—The Amalgamation of the trades union goes steadily forward.
