COUNTERFEITING
AT VALDOSTA.
J. J. Parnell Arrested for
Making Gold Money.
Valdosta- Ga.,—Aug 27.— J.
J. Parnell, a well known man,
was arrested here by Deputy U-
nited States Marshall Godwin last
night charged with making coun¬
terfeit money. It is said that Par¬
nell's specialty wss a 5-dollar coin
which would pass right along as
gold. It was made out of some
cheap competition and covered
with a gold” wash. Parnell has
been working in the gunsmith
shop of W. II. Goodwin, and it
is claimed that he was very bold
in his operations trying to get
other parties to go in with him.
He is said to have shown Goodwin
some of the money lie had made
and asked Goodwin to becomo his
partner in the work. Goodwin
was frightened by the proposition
and the first chance he got he
smashed the moulds to pieces
with a hammer. The broken
moulds are in the officers hands.
Parnell was taken to Macon
Sunday night by Deputy Marshall
Walter Godwin of that place and
tomorrow a hearing will be had on
a warrant charging the prisoner
with counterfeiting.
The federal officers have been
working somo time in an effort to
locate parties floating- spurious
coin, and the arrest yesterday is
supposed to have placed only one
member of an organized gang be¬
hind the bars. Parnell stated here
tonight that he expected several
other arrests. Officers are trying
to run down others known to have
been members of the gang. Dep¬
uty Marshall Godwin lias suffi¬
cient evidence to make him confi¬
dent lie liar the principal operators
under the eye of the law.
Valdosta has A
Diamond Queen.
Valdosta, Ga., Aug. 30.—If
reports be true, Valdosta has come
to the front with a “diamond
queen” in short frocks.
The police are looking for a
little girl reported to be very
pretty and innocent looking, who
has been fleecing the merchants
right and left.
Her plan has been to call at a
store and tell the merchant she
was th° daughter of so-and-so and
wanted to carry some ari icles
home for her mother to select
from, promising to return the
money if the articles suited and
the articles if they do not suit.
A dozen stores were visited and
each one «ent goods to the address
given. The money was not forth¬
coming, neither were the articles
returned. Among the articles
were a gold watch and a diamond
ring. The little girl has been
carrying her operations on for
weeks. The police have hopes
of locating her.

DOVE OF PEACE
SETTLES AT LAST.
P£, CE terms AGREED UPON.
Roosevelt Receives Praise of
all for Bringing Warring
4 Nations to Peace.
% 1 ’tsffiouth, N. H., Aug. 29.
—The bloody war between Japan
and Russia is ended.
T.ie terms of peace were settled
by M. Witte and Baron lvumora
at tbo session of the conference
this’ morning, and this afternoon
preliminary arrangements for an
armistice Were concluded and the
actual work of framing the ' ‘treaty
of Portsmouth” was by mutual
agreement turned over to Mr. D.
Martens, Russia’s great interna-
tionai lawy er, and Mr. Dennison,
whq for twenty-five years has
acted as the legal adviser for the
Japanese Foreign Office.
Tlrp treaty is expected to he
completed by the end of the
week.
The happy conclusion of the
confe\enc]t, which a week ago
would have been shipwrecked had
it noUbeen for the intercession of
President. 'x Roosevelt, sudden
was
nd d- aortic.
For the Sake 'of peace Japan,’ ^
with the magnanimity of a victor,
at the last moment yielded every-
thing still in issue. Russia re-
fused to budge from the ultimatum
Emperor Nicholas had given to
President Roosevelt through Am-
bassador Meyer. No indemnity
under any guise, but an agreement
to divide Sakhalin and reimburse
Japan for the maintenance of the
Russian prisoners were his last
words, They had been repeated-
ly reiterated in M. Witte’s in-
structions, and in the form of a
written reply to the Japanese com¬
promise proposal of last Wednes¬
day they were delivered to Baron
Komura this mornsng.
M. Witte went to the confer¬
ence declaring that he was power-
loss to change the dotcf an “i” or
the cross of a “t” in his instruct¬
ions. Emperor Nicholas’ word
had been given not only'to him,
but to President Roosevelt, the
head of a foreign state.
When Baron Komura, there¬
fore, first offered the new basis of
compromise outlined in thp Asso¬
ciated Press dispatches last night
(the complete renunciation of in¬
demnity, coupled with a proposi¬
tion for the redemption of Sakha¬
lin at a price to be fixed by a mix¬
ed tribunal consisting of represen¬
tatives of neutral Powers, in fact
if not in words, the solution offer¬
ed by President Roosevelt), M.
Witte again returned a non possum.
It was what M. Witte termed the
‘ ‘psychological moment. ’ ’
M. Witte did not flinch. He
expected a rupture, and as he ex¬
pected it afterwards, he was
stunned by what happened. Baron
Komura gave way on all the dis¬
puted points. With the prescience
that has enabled the Japanese 'to
gauge the mental process of their
adversaries on the field of battle
and upon the sea, they had realiz¬
ed in advance that peace could be
obtained in rio other way. They
had warned their government.
President Roosevelt had also, it is
believed, advised Japan that it
was better to meet the Russian
