‘Augustans to Attend Commer
cial Congress and Come Back
With President.
President Taft will come to Augus
ta If possible. The Chamber of Com
merce has received a letter from Sec
retary Charles D. Norton In which It
is stated that the President will take
pleasure In coming here if he finds
that he can possibly do so.
Mr. Taft Is in love with Augusta,
and the people of this city are in love
with him. During the time that he
spent in this city he became a popu
lar favorite and he has indicated many
times that he will never neglect an
opportunity to come to this city.
If Mr. Taft comes here it is ex
pected that he will spend a few days
resting and playing golf. He is an
enthusiastic devotee of the golf game
and thinks the Country club links are
among the best in the country. Should
president Taft come to Augusta it is
probable that he will come back with
the Augusta delegation to the South
ern Commercial Congress.
The following is a copy of Secre
tary Norton’s letter to the Chamber
of Commerce:
"The White House,
; "Washington, Feb. 28, 1911.
Gentlemen: —The President has re
quested me to acknowledge the receipt
(of your telegram of the 27th instant
land to thank you for the kind invita
tion to visit Atfgusta. It will give him

Washington. The house today
agreed to a privileged resolution from
the judiciary committee asking the
attorney general, if not incompatible

THREATENED ULTIMATUM
OF BONILLA HASN’T COME
Amicable Adjustment However
Seems Possible. U. S. May
Appoint Provisional Presi
dent.
Puerto Cortez, Honduras. —The
threatened ultimatum from General
Bonilla, the leader of the revolutionary
party, was not presented when the
peace conference was resumed on
board the United States cruiser Ta
coma today. It had been said that
unless an agreement was reached yes
terday Bonilla would declare the
armistice off and renew hostilities.
An amicable agreement now appears
impossible however, and probably It
will be necessary for the United States
to settle the trouble by appointing a
provisional president of Honduras.
Thos. C. Dawson, the American
mediator told the conferees today that
his government insisted on a peaceful
settlement, in order that the welfare
of the country might be promoted and
international complications avoided.

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 2,1911.
SENTENCE IN GRUSIN CUSE
RESERVED JNTII TUESDAY
Evidence Taken Thursday
Morning in Recorder’s Court.
Hon. C. E. Dunbar Given Till
Tuesday to Prepare Brief.
The case of Jake Grusin, charged
with a violation of the 528th section
of the city code, governing the opera
tion of near beer saloons, was begun
first in the recorder’s court Thursday
morning. After the hearing of the
evidence, which consumed a great
deal of time, the case was postponed
until 12 o’clock, when the judge said
(that he would reserve the sentence un
i til Tuesday, in which time the at
torney could prepare a brief.
C. E. Dunbar, Esq., began the hear
!ing by impeaching the main witness,
John Byrd. Byrd wa s tried and con
jvieted in the recorder’s court some
I weeks ago for selling whiskey, which
jhe claimed Grusin had given him.
Thursday morning, under oath, he
stated that he had paid for the liquor.
The article in The Herald, bearing on
j the case, was read to the negro, and
! he admitted lying.
Officer Blackwell, who raided the
place, stated that he had found 13
I quarts of liquor in the kitchen.
Gus. Hughes told of having bought
whiskey from Grusin on a Sunday.
Felix Appling was with Hughes, but
did not see the sale of liquor.
I Albert Kollock, Annie Spires, Hon.
: Thos. W. Pilcher, Mr. A. G. llackett
j were brought In as character wit
nesses, the first against Byrd, the sec
ond two for Grusin.
I In his statement Grusin denied the
sale of any whiskey o n the Sunday
in question, hut stated that whiskey
had been stolen from him.
Mr. Guy Sturgis was brought in by
the city to testify of the character of'
Grvsin before coming to Augusta. He
stated that the Atlanta police had
told him that the man and his partner
were run out of Atlanta because of
the Illegal sale of liquor.
Mr. Henry M. North and Mr. Geo:
b. Lombard testified to the excellent
character of Byrd.
The minutes of the recorder’s court
for March 12th, 1910, and Sept. 16th,
19J0, in two cases against Grusin, for
keeping open after hours, were read.
Officers Wilson and Hahn testified
to the seemingly orderly character of
Grusin’s place of business.
! Sergeant Buchanan was sworn In
to impeach the character of Hughes,
:as a frequent offender before the re
jeorder’s bench.
1 The session adjourned until twelve
; o’clock.
FOR ACCOMPLICES
OF ROBIN AFTER HIS PLEA
Particular Attention Being
Given to Affairs of the Car
negie Trust Co.
New York.—Following his plea of
guilty to the charge of stealing $27,-
000 from the Washington Savings
Bank just after a jury had been finally
selected for his trial, Jos Q. Robin
has been in conference for tho greater
part of the last 24 hours with Assist
ant District Attorney Clark. It Is b»
ileved the assistant prosecutor was
seeking Information concerning the
other financial institutions crippled by
Robin's operations, in search of any
accomplices whom the fallen banker
might have had.
The fact that Mr. Clark has had
particular charge of the Investigation
of the affairs of the Carnegio Trust
company which was closed February
1 by order of the state bank examiner,
leads to the belief that his confer
ences with Robin have to do with
the affairs of that company.
Although ’’Robin declared In court
yesterday that he is not and never
has been Insane the alienists who ex
amined him a fortnight ago find in
this turn of the case only another
proof that he is a paranoiac. Accord
ing to Dr. Austin Flint, one of the
alienists who examined. Robin, the 1
man stoutly denied at all their exam- j
lnations from Dec. 21 to Feb. 20, that |
ne was insane.
HOLIDAY IN TEXAS.
Houston, Texas.—This, the seventy
fifth anniversary of Texas Indepen
dence, was observed here today by
general suspension of business. At
Austin the state senate took a holi
day, but the house worked.
Banks were closed throughout the
state.
MAYOR’S CONDITION
ABOUT THE SAME
The condition of Mayor Thos
Barrett was reported at 2
o’clock today as being about
ths same as it was yesterday.
His physician stated, however,
that Mr. Barrett had a more
restful night last night than he
had the night before.
EXTRA SESSION
HOW ASSURED
ON RECIPROCITY
Republicans Summoned to
White House for Consultation
by the President.
WILL BE CALLED EARLIER
THAN FOURTH OF APRIL
Feeling of Confidence Among
Friends of Measure'Bill Will
Pass Inside Week.
Washington.—The last vestige of
doubt that there will be an extraor
dinary session of congress* called by
President Taft to consider the Canad
ian reciprocity bill in the practically
certain event of the failure of the
measure In the present congress dis
appeared when it became known that
Republicans had been called to the
White House for a consultation.
"The die is east,” said one of the
Republican senators after returning
to tbe eapltol. "Mr. Taft has decided
that there must be an extra session
and that he will call It earlier than
April 4."
Wanted a Month.
Democratic leaders wanted a month
in which to get ready for a special
session and President * Taft was In
clined to accede to their wishes. It
became known today, however, that
the Republicans favored an erirlier!
gathering, if there was no way to
avoid Coming back. Mr. Taft would
be guided, it was said, by the wishes
of the Republicans. It was announc
ed that’ a conference would be held on
tlie subject probably Monday, to de
cide upon a date.
March 20 was the date talked about
today at the eapltol. There was a
feeling of confidence among friends of
the Canadian agreement that the
house would pass the bill within a
week after the convening of the spe
cial session. It was suggested today
that Representative McCall’s name
would not be carried on the bill but
that some Democrat on the new com
mittee on ways and means would
claim the right to report the measure
and take charge of it on the floor.
Delay of Month.
There was an impression also that
the senate would not delay action for
more than a month. This theory was
based upon the argument that the
Republican senate would expedite bus
iness so as to be ready to adjourn
before the Democratic house could
submit a general program for tariff
revision and the hope that under such
a condition of affairs the Democrats
would be willing to postpone their
tariff revision plans until next winter,
when they would be better prepared
to proceed.

Peace Plan is For Revolu
tionists to Lay Down Arms.

mantour, Mexican minister of finance,
is a passenger on the North German
Lloyd steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm,
which sailed last night for blew York.
Senor Limantour is accompanied by
the senora, the improvement In whose
health made it possible for them to
begin their homeward journey. The
Kronprinz Wilhelm should reach Now

In speaking of his expected return
to Mexico recently the minister said
that he planned lo proceed from New
York by water to Yucatan for a pri
vate visit there. He did not indicate
when he would be likely to continue
to the capital.
The minister has been in Parts since
August last, having come to Europe
to place bonds in conversion of the
Mexican national debt to the amount
of $110,000,000, which has been ac
complished only In part.
In a recent Interview which at
tracted wide attention Senor Liman
tour said the only plan ho recom
mended for restoration of peace in
Mexico involved tho laying down of
their arms by the revolutionists 14
order that the government might with
dignity and honor treat with those
who had endangered both t.ho secur
ity and credit of the nation. This
done he was convinced that the vari
ous reforms, the demand for which
was the genesis of tho revolution,
should bo granted after careful duty
and elaboration. The only alternative
he foresaw was a long and wasting
struggle.

cism in Press.
Victoria, B. C. —Advices were
brought by the Tambu Maru last night
that the emperor of Japan had donated
three-quarters of s million dollars to
the poor of Japan from the private
purse.

rescript in which the emperor said

economics were making people apt to
deviate Into erroneous ways. Tho

in the vernacular press which sug
gested that the unprecedented action

trend of the times and there has fol
lowed an outburst of condemnation
against the government.

after convening at 11 o'clock today
tho senate had decided by the posi
tive vote of 55 to 23 to set aside ap
propriation bills ami take up the bill

The motion looking to such a course
was made by Senator Hale, who here

the agreement made among the re
publicans Tuesday, in order to get a
vote on the Lortmer resolution.
Senator Buikeiy of Connecticut was
the only republican to cast a vote
against the motion, while four demo
crats voted with the republicans for

a general discussion concerning the
general order of business.
Senator Money.
it. was begun by Senator Money of
Mississippi, chairman of the demo
cratic caucus, immediately after the
conclusion of the reading of the Jour
nal. Disclaiming any intention on

j ocrate to filibuster, he said that he
and all the members of his party felt
j the great necessity of coming immedl
j ntely to the consideration of tho ap
| proprtation bills In order to prevent
jan extra session of congress.
Mr. .Money then made the formal
- proposition that the appropriation bills
ine taken up forthwith, with the under
standing that they be disposed of be

taken.
"If," he said, “the senators on tbe
