CONCESSIONAL RETURNS
John W. Maddox’s big Majority
Over his Opponent.
Atlanta, Nov. 15—Every day
since the congressional election
Sccietarv of State Cook has been
receiving the county returns in
bandies, and yesterday he or
dered a consolidation of the
vote. With 137 counties divided
up among eleven congressional
districts, the job was not an ea
sy one, but Secretary Cook tackl
eJit without consideration of
its difficulties, and with the aid
of Chief Clerk J. W. Cain and
Capt. B. F. Johnson he was able
to reach a conclusion at a late
hour last night.
As a rof-n’t the following is
declared to be the official vote
in the eleven Georgia districts,
and Secretary Cook has once
more demonstrated his determi
nation to see that the work of
bis department is kept up to
date. Witjiin twenty-four hour#
after the returns were in they
were properly .consolidated and
certified to the governor.
Os course the vote was very
light. Especially was this true
in those districts where the
Democratic nominees had no
opposition.
One of the largest majorities'
is that of Congressman Brant-;
ley who encountered a scalawag
combination and buried it under
over 5,000 majority.

An American Ccrfinu! in a

"BR2ABERB" QUEER IDEA
Os Their Hights to Try Ameri
cans for American Crime.
Washington, Nov. 15 —The
state department is making etiorg
efforts to secure the release of the
American. Temple, who is in a
Mexican jail on the charge of mur
der committed in th» United
States, and it has instructed Mr
Powell Clayton, United S’ates
minister to Mexico, to address
himself directly to the American
foreign office on that
The principle involved in the
case is regarded of the highest im
portance, for if Temple is held for
trial bv the Mexican authorities
will amount to an admission on
the part of the United Slates of
the righ’ of.Mexico to exercise ex
tra-tern ioiial jurisdiction over
American soil.
Substantially the same claim
was involved in the c» lebrated
Cuitting case, which camg near
causing a breach of friendly rela
tione. and it arose again in the
more recent case of Leonard
Pacheco.
Cutting whs released by the
Mexican government only after
trial. Pacheco wa? released, but
not on our demand, and in no case
has the Mexican government sur
rendered its view that it bad a
right to try a person in Mexico for
an offense committed in the United
States, Cutting was in jail for
several months and Pacheco for
two years.
It is not at all probable that any
such delay will be in
the Temple cass, for the Arizona
authorities might easily bring the
matter to an issue by demanding
the extradition of Temple lor kill
ing a man within the border of
their territory.
Bu’, even accepting the Mexi
can contention that it could try
an American for killing a Mexican
in the U. S., it seems probable
tnat the state department can dem
onstrate that the man killed by
Temple was not a Mexican.
The Arizona authorities say that
he was born in that territory and,
although his parents were anuaG
uralized Mexicans under our law,
he was a Un’ted States citizen. It
this fact is established legally the
Mexican government will be put
in peculiar position of trying one
American for killing another
American citizen on American
soil.
On Sunday last James Temple, a
conductor on the New Mexico and
Arizona railway, was attacked by
some Mexicans and in defending
himself sbot one of them at Juan
Arvaita fatally.
This occurred about 2,000 feet
north of the international bound
ary line-

Fre.- erick Trevor, a surgeon ot
consi 'erab'e eminence, has a let
ter in the current issue of the
Lance, in which Le considers
the human stomach not up to date,
Between the stomach of the present
day and the apparatus possessed
by the naked cavemen of prehis
toric time# there is no difference
whatever. But between the old
cave man’s dinner of raw hyena
steak and the partie fin of today
there is no wonder, saya Trevor,
that our stomach fails so often*
Trevor, having studied the mat
ter carefully thinks that our stom
achs are too large and favors “the
removal of a considerable portion
of it ”
Experience he says, has shown
him that such an operation would
insure greater comfort to every
body. .
