number of prominent business and
professional men representing the
biggest and best interests of the city,
endorsed the Board of Trade and
agreed to sustain it the coming year
in better shape than ever before.
The entire plans of the campaign
have been mapped out very carefully

posed of five member s to each com
mittee, W'll start out to cover the

come active members of th e commer
cial organization and agreeing to Par

the Board of Trade will handle dur
ing the year 1923.
Secretary Warde has received many
letters from other board s of trade
and chambers of commerce through
out the south requesting that as soo n
as possible to furnish the results of

Brunswick is not a big city, still both
the city proper and its Board of Trade

committee-men associated with Irm
i n this drive to secure every man,
business and professinn:.l, as mem
bers of the Board of Trade.

last night was held as good a meet
ing of the represenltntive kamess

Brunswick. Nearly forty men rep
resenting every business interest in
Brunswick were present.
The meeting was called to order by
General Chairman J. P. Davenport,
who fully explained in detail a plan
for carrying campaign to a
successful issue.
It was the opinion of all present
that if Brunswick is to make rapid
progress along all lines, that the best
way to make this possible is through
a well supported Board of Trade.
Te n committees consisting of five
men to each commi|tltee will start
work this morning and continue un

raced.

a race with death. Fear added speed
to Lanas’ legs. For blocks he ran.
But tile anger i n the heart of the
wronged husband spurred him o n at
a greater Pace.
Gradually he closed the distance
between him and the object of his
vengeance. Then as he caught up
with his victim six shots ran out in
rapid succession.
Lanas crumpled up on the side
walk. Lifeless.
A coroner’s jury investigated the
shooting. They heard the story of
the homewreyker’s activities and

MAKING OPEN BOASTS
OF AID FROM RUSSIA
Isr-iet P-jha is Confident That
Soviet Bricking Will Over-
Balance Strength Shown by
Governments of Allies.
(By Associated Press. )
Lausanne, Nov. 13.—Turkey de
mands will merely be dealt with as a
responsible government’s and wdl he
allowed such rights i„ international
relations, according to a statement
made to the World Pres s by General
Islimet Pasha, head of the Turkish
delegation, when asked today what
Turkey’s demands would be in the
near east confetuH>e here.
The delegates of the Turkish na
tionalist government have come bo
Lausanne as v : ctors and their mood
is wholly different from that of the
crushed representatives of the sultan,
who begged for mercy when the trea
ty of Sevres was drafted several
vears ago.
Their leader, Ismet. Pasha, boasts
of support from the Russian soviet,
alludes to the uncertainty which new
government in England and Italy
have given to the solidarity of the en
tente. Mustapha Kemal Pasha cer
tanily seems well entrenched in Eu
rope today.
His delegates to the Lausanne con
ference are confident of being grant
ed their demand that Turkey shall be
relieved of the capitulations which
are extra territorial rights granted to
foreigners in Turkey. They also
firm and confident i n believing that
full sovereign rights will accrue to
their government through the confer
ence. Their attitude brings to mind
the remark once made by an Ameri
can diplomat that Putting Europe out
of Turkey would come nearer to ef
fecting peace i n the Near East than
putting Turkey out 'of Europe.
Having beaten (the Greeks at arms
the Turks are apparently determined
to recover practically all the Euro
pean territory wrested from l , them
by the world war.
The Turkish delegation is outspok
en in its criticism of the postpone
ment of the conference here. Appar
ently eager to embarrass the British
and French efforts to come to some
sort of agreement before facing the
Kemalist representatives, the Turk
ish group is insistent in urging a
quick start of the discussions which
wer e to have begun today.
UNREST IN TURKISH CAPITAL
London, Nov. 13. —Now that the
Lausanne conference has been Post
poned to November 20, the question
most urgently asked here is whether
it will he possible to maintain peace
in Constantinople in the interim.
Restoration of communications has
revealed such a n ugly situation there
that it is evident the utmost tact and
skill will be necessary o prevent vio
lent outbursts.
All reports coming to London con
cur in saying that the extremists are
dominating the Angora government,
which through agents in Constanti
nople is following the policy of defi
ance today the allies and terrorism
amqng the local population.
Residents of Constantinople are
described as being in a state of ex
treme alarm while the positio n of ‘the
allied troops Is represented as one
which may soon be untenable.
An incident which sharply shows
the total change in the situation
from conditions which have prevailed
during the past year ' s reported by
some correspondents whose dispatch
es say that an English book merchant
who became involved in a street squab
hie was seized by the Turkish police,
taken to the Galata police station
and thrashed. The correspondents
maintain that, the establishment of
martial law alone can make Constan-
tinople safe.
Complete agreement among the al
lies and display of unity in the nature
of granting full authority to their
commanders in Constantinople to co
operate in any emergency would re
move anxiety, it is contended, and
guarantee the stability during the
discussion with the Turk s at Laus
anne. Without such complete co-oP
eration, it is argued, the conference
had better not be held.
Commentators in London general
ly insist strongly upon the necessity
for the allied representatives to meet
together before talking to the Turks
at Lausanne in order to decide a com
mon policy. Unless thi s is done some
observers feel it will be impossible
for Great Britain to be represented at
Lausanne at all.

pressed in The News this
morning chronicles the death of R.
H. Martin, beloved citizen, which oc
curred at his home, 805 Second ave

after an illness of only short dura
tion. Death, it is stated by- attend-

Mr. Martin was out last Friday
and while his health has been any
tiring but good since he hajl an at
tack of fever several weeks ago, it
wa s not thought that he was serious
ly ill and while it was known that he
was anything but a well man, it was
.the opinion of those close to him that
the result would not be seriou s and
that he would be out agai n in a few
days. His death will carry sorrow to
the hearts of all classes of citizenry
because he did not number his friends
among any one set, but all the Peo-
ple.
For nearly seventeen years, Mr.
Martin, who was fiftytwo years of
age, has been a resident of Bruns
wick. For a long time he was a con
ductor on the Atlanta, Birmingham
& Atlantic railroad and it wa s while
filling this position that ha lost an
arm. For several years he has been
engaged i n the merchandise broker
age business and has been success
ful.
Beides his wife, deceased leaves
two children, Mrs. A. B. Jordan, of
Wrens, Ga., and one son, Haley, who
i s a student at the Georgia Tech. Be
sides these he leaves Iwo brothers,
W. H. Martin, of Thomasville, Ga.,
and Z. P. Martin, of Norfolk, Va.,
the home state of the deceased. He
also leaves one sister, Mrs. W. H.
Harris, of Emporia, Va.
The funeral will be held from the
First Baptist church at 11 o’clock to
morrow morning conducted by Rev.
O P. Gilbert, its pastor, and inter
ment will be in Palmetto cemetery.
To the grief stricken wife, th; v
ing daughter and son, a s well *sshis

ing i n the south the latter part of

- IN ONE LITTLE TOWN
All Along the Coast Big and
Little Ships Were Swept
Ashore and Totally Wrecked
or Left High and Dry.
(By Associated Press.)
Santiago, Chile, Nov. 13.—The
Chilean government has asked con
gress to grant a million pesos for re
lief of the inhabitants in the stricken
districts and five hundred thousand
re-establishment of public
utility serviced.
The cruiser Chacabuco has arrived
at Huasco with supplies and medical
help and the dreadnought sailed later
today from Valpariso for Antafagas
ta. A relief commission has bee n or
ganized at Buenos Alreg L, aid of th e
sufferers by the thousands made
homeless by the earthquakes through
out Chile early Saturday morning and
the flooding waves which followed
the shocks were being mobilized to
day.
The death toll will probably be at
least one thousand, it is estimated,
and the Property loss will run into
the millions, as several towns were
almost entirely wiped out and heavy
damage to buildings and communica
tion lines and Particularly ships along
the 1,400 miles of coast affected by
the huge wave s has resulted from
the violent upheavals of nature.
The extent of the casualties, prop
erty damage and distress wrought
by the catastrophe disturbances has
not yet bef'n learned except in a gen
eral way, as many communication
lines, both overland and underwater,
were put out of commission. Five
hundred persons were reported killed
at Vallenar and in the districts sur
-1 rounding the city. At Coquimbo at
least 100 ar e known to be dead. The
damage from the succession of earth
shockp, which filled the population
with terror, was heaviest in the north
ern Provinces of Antofagasta, Ata
cama and Coquimbo.
All along the coast little ships and
big ships were swept on shore, pound
ed against the rock or left high and
dry. At many mall ports wharves
and quays were destroyed. Today
naval ship s wer e steaming up and
down the coast, stopping at the vari
ous places to send landing parties to
the relief of sufferers, many of whom
are without food and shelter.
The tidal waves which followed the
earthquake indicated a gigantic dis
turbance beneath the Pacific. ’ The
waters first were drawn away from
shore, far below the low tide mark
and then they came rushing back in
a great wave which some observers
said was fifty meters in height. At
Aantofagasta this queer and fright
ful movement of the se a was repeat
ed five times, until the city was bat
tered almost to ruins and the entire
Population fled to the hills.
Tremor Lasts Three Hours.
The tremors were so severe that
some of the seismographs wer e put
out operation. Tl 4 total duration
of the tremor s was three hours and
forty minutes and the estimated rad
ius 1,200 kilometers in a direction
transversal to the Andes. The meter
ological institute announced that the
earth shock coincided with the pas-
sage of a sunspot over the central
meridian or the solar body. The sun
spot made its appearance on Novem
ber sth and was the largest observed
this year.
At Valpariso it was pointed put. by
Rear Admiral Martin, director of the
naval meterological service, that the
earthquake came just as the conjunc
tions of Mercury and Jupiter and
Neptune and the sun were approach
