DEATH STOPS COURT Jodge Wilson, Senior Member of Schley Coanse! Dies Suddenly. CAUSED SURPRISE AND SHOCK Dread Summons Came Without Warn ~«ng at Shoreham Hotel—Ad¬ miral Schley and All Cor.« nected Express Sorrow. A Washington special says: The Schley court cf inquiry was brought to a sudden termination for the day eighteen minutes after convening Tuesday morning by the announce¬ ment of the sudden death of Jeremiah Wilson, senior counsel for Admiral Schley. The announcement was made to the court by Hon. Isador Raynor, assist¬ ant counsel, in the following lan jguage: "I have a very sad announcement to make. I have just heard of the death of Judge Wilson. I left him at 10 o'clock this morning, slightly indis¬ posed. I was with him until late last night. I saw him this morning at 8 o’clock and left him at 10. We have confiremed the rumor through the telephone that he has just died at the Shoreham hotel, and I would respect¬ fully ask the court, if it meets with the approval of the court, to adjourn for today.” Admiral Dewey said: “I have to announce that owing to the death of Judge Wilson, of coun¬ sel, the court will adjourn for today until tomorrow morning.” The announcement of Judge Wil¬ son’s death created consternation not only among members of the court, but among the spectators, and some min ntes elapsed before people generally would accept the report. The judge had been present in the court all day Monday, and while he had not participated to any great ex¬ tent In the proceedings, he had ap¬ peared physically active and wide awake to all that was said and done, The report first reached Mr. Ray nor in the’shape of a rumor a minute or two after Machinist A. B. Claxton, of the Texas, the second witnesl, had been present on the stand. Wayne County JESUP. GEORGIA. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 2?. 1901. Captain Parker and Mr. Teague, of Admiral Schley’s counsel, Immediate¬ ly went to the telephone. They re¬ turned in a few moments, saying that the report had been confirmed. Mr. Raynor tften made his an¬ nouncement to the court and asked an adjournment for the day. All the members of the court, in¬ cluding counsel for the government and for Admiral Schley, expressed the utmost surprise and sorrow over the news, while Admiral Schley him self said: “The news is so shocking that I cannot trust myself to give expression to my estimate of the man. ] «in only say that I have lost not only a clear-beaded and brilliant counsel, but also a dear and much beloved friend. I am shocked beyond measure at the news and find myself almost unable to accept the report.” It was announced at the court room that Judge Wilson's death had oc¬ curred at 11:08 a. m., at the Shoreham hotel, and that it had been due to heart failure, superinduced by an at¬ tack of acute indigestion, coupled with Bright's disease. Judge Wilson was a native of Ohio and was 73 years old. Early in life he removed to Indiana, where he serv¬ ed with distinction on the common pieas and circuit court benches. He represented an Indiana district in the forty-second and forty-third con gresses. After his retirement from congress he formed a partnership with an associate In congress. Judge Shellabarger, and the firm soon took rank at the very front of the Washing¬ ton bar. Among the well-known cases in which Mr. Wilson was counsel were the Star Route trials, the Holt will case, the Breckinridge-Poilard breach of promise case, the trial of Captain Howgate for embezzlement, the court martial proceedings against General Swann, the Oberlin Carter cage and the Venezuela, Alabama, French spo¬ liation and Louisiana Abra Mexican claim cases.

ROOSEVELT ASSUMES DUTIES New President Takes Formal Charge of Affairs of Government—Cabi¬ net Meeting Held. A Washington special says: After a suspension of three days as a mark of respect to the dead president, the business of the government at Wash¬ ington was resumed Friday. The train bearing President Roosevelt and mem¬ bers of his cabinet arrived at the Pennsylvania station at 9:20 o’clock a. m., and fifteen minute3 later the president entered the white house, and, going at once to the cabinet room, where President McKinley was wont to do the greater part of his work. When the new chief executive reached the white house he walked briskly to the big front door which swung wide open. He spoke pleasantly as he pass i ed to the watchmen and other em¬ ployees cf the mansion, and reached his office, was joined almost immedi¬ ately by Secretary Long, who did not go to Canton to take part in the funer¬ al ceremonies. , The president’s formmer secretary, Mr. Loeb, Jr„ will remain probably as assistant secretary. Mr. (jortelyou, jit the president’s earnest request, will retain his position as his secretary. At 11 o’clock all of the members of the cabinet had arrived at the white house and soon were seated around the familiar table. President Roose¬ velt occupied a seat at its head and In the chair long occupied by President McKinley. Nearly all of the members of the present cabinet are quite sure to re main during Mr. Roosevelt’s term, but it is very pobably that Secretary Long wiij retire within the next few month-. He feels that he can resign without embarrassment to Mr. Roosevelt and therefore it is thought that wjthjn the next few months he will ask the pres¬ ident to permit him to retire to private life. The cabinet was in session about an hour and a half, all of the time be¬ ing spent in a general review of the more important questions which will require the attention of the new presi¬ dent. All of the members were pres¬ ent except Attorney General Knox, who stopped for a few days in Pitts¬ burg. Each member explained to the president the policy which had been folIowed in dealin S with matters under consideration and their present status, No new business was taken up. Mem¬ bers subsequently expressed them¬ selves as having full confidence in Mr. Roosevelt's ability to give the country a strong, able and conservative admin istration, and he will have their loyal support to the same degree as they gave it to the late president.

IS PE01I0 OF THE SOUTHLAND President Declares the Fact cf His Mother Being of the South f.1akc3 Him Virtually * .iau Southern” Himself. A Washington special says: Presi dent Roosevelt has again declared his intention to steer the ship of state in southern waters according to the Mc Kinley chart. The declaration was made Saturday morning in an interview with Representative Liv¬ ings ten, of Georgia, the first democrat¬ ic member of congress to call at tae executive mansion to pay his respects t,o the new president.

Livingston added that, in his humble capacity as a member of the house of representatives, he de¬ sired to tender his services to assi3t him as far as he could in administer ing the public affairs for the benefit of the whole country. “My dear man,” exclaimed President P.oosevelt, grasping the Georgia con gressman’s hand vigorously, “I will have no use for dividing lines or scc in this country during my admir. istration, and I am sincerely grateful to you for offering to help me make my administration a national one. I wish you would read my speech delivered in Minnesota a few days be fore president McKinley was shot. I want you to tell me frankly if you ttipk it was broad enough and liberal NO. IS. enough to cover every section of this country. If It was not, f am willing to make It broader. It will be my ear¬ nest and sincere endeavor to treat all the people of this country alike with out regard to sectional lines, I want you to understand that my mother was from Georgia, and I have a very warm and kindly feeling for the people of Georgia and all the people of the south. Now . want you to remember that I am president of the whole coun¬ try, and during my administration it will be my earnest desire to merit the affection and confidence of the people of the south, as well as those from the north, east or west.” The president was even more en> phatlc in his declaration to Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina, and Rep¬ resentative Klutz, of North Carolina, and Representative Gibson, of Tennes¬ see. “The south will support you most heartily," said Senator Pritchard, speaking for aii three of the southern rats. “The democratic newspapers are predicting good for you and of you and the feelitfg of all the people for you, irrespective of party, is most kindly.” "I am going to be president of the Lnlted States and not of any section,” replied the president. “I don’t care for sections or sectional lines. When I was governor of New York, I was told that I could make four appoint¬ ments in the army. When I sent in the names three were from the south and the other from New York. They were brave men who deserved recogni¬ tion for services in the Spanish war. and It , did not matter what . states they were from.” The president talked in the same vein With ... Senator _ Money, of Mississip¬ pi, when the latter called, reminding Mississippi senator that his mother a southern woman. “X am half said he, “and I have lived the west, so that I feel that I can the whole country.” —Only one new witness appeared before inquiry board Saturday.
