WAYCROSS NEWS NOTES.
The Bill Passed at Atlanta Changes
Municipal Elections.

Inc Bill R1Ssc0 at AtlnnIa
Municipal Elections.
.Waycross, Ga, Dec. 17.-Hon. Lemuel
Johnson was seen to-day in regard to
the local bill that passed the House
and Senate providing for six aldermen
in this city instead of five, and also
an increase of salaries of the Mayor
and aldermen. Mr.. Johnson says the
people who have been opposing this
measure are doing so without knowing
the value of it to the town. A petit
ton to the governor, requesting him to
veto the measure was signed by about
$50 citizens. The bill as it passed both
Houses, provides for six wards in the
city, and the election of aldermen for
two years instead of one, as at present.
Aldermen from the First, Third and
Fifth wards are to be elected for one
year, and those from the Second,
Fourth and Sixth for two years. In
that way some old men, who under
stand the city's affairs win hold over
each year. The salaries of the alder
men remain the same, $50 a year. The
Mayor is to be elected for two years.
His salary, under the new law, if it
is signed by Gov. Gambler, will be S400
instead of $500, as at present, and may
be raised to $500 by a two thirds vote
of the registered voters of the city. 1t
is thought the opposition will be with
drawn and the Governor will sign the
bill. The COW ordinance was not passed,
and the street paving bill leaves the
matter to vote of two thirds of the
tax payers on any street before the
City Council can pave it.
Arm Broken.
Little Jerome Cason, son of Deputy
United States Marshal John p. Cason,
fell from the banisters and broke his

MINE WORKERS CLOSE.
Final Day Devoted to Making Number
of constitutional Changes.


Indianapolis, Jan. 31-The national
convention of the United Mine Work.
ers came to a close at ) y. IN. yester-
day. The delegates to the joint con
ference with the operators to be held
in Columbus. 800 strong, have left for
that city by special train. Yesterday
was devoted To revising the constitu-
ton. and several important changes
We're made. The convention voted
down motion TO introduce the refer
endum system in the election of Off
GERS. President Mitchell favored the
idea and announced that in his recon-
mendationS for next year he will out

Il general vote.
1t was decided to next year enforce
the rule forbidding unions whose dues
are not paid up to have delegates at
the convention. \ motion to provide
that local unions shall not refuse TO
recognize transfer cards, and that men
shall not be prohibited from working
on account of race, color or nation
ality, was defeated.
The work of absorbing the engin-
GERS. firemen, blacksmiths aud other
auxiliary trades was completed by the
adoption of resolution allowing mem
berS of these trades TO be Organized
into separate unions. There was no
legislation in regard ~ the proposed
defense fund. The amendment to
create such a fund was offered as
recommended by the committee, but
was voted down.

DEMURs TO AN INoUIs1TIoN.
Secretary Long Thinks Annapolis Is Not
Doing Any Hazing.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Secretary
Long has addressed letter to the
house naval committee relative to the
pending resolution touching hazing at
Annapolis. He says: Both the de-
partment and the superintendent
would welcome any in
vestigation. 1t should be borne in
mind. however, that such an investi-
agtion will necessarily tend very much
TO demoraliZe the academy for the
time being. and probably for the rest
of the spring term interrupting the
course of study. L ought to say fur
Their that no complaint has come TO me
during the time l have been secretary
of the navy, so far as | now recall,
of any haZing at the academy.
This to me is significant, because
parents and friends are always ex-
tremely-and properly-sensitive in
case of any hardship or wrong, and
had any such case existed at the acad-
envy l feel confident that complaint
would have been made. 1t is also
noticeable that since the Introduction
of Mr.. SheTman's resolution no such
complaint-indeedn no word at all with
reference 10 any practice of hazing
at the academy-has come to me. L
cannot help thinking that if there
We're occasion for investigation L
should have received some suggestion
of this kind. especially after the gen
eral interest created by the West
Point investigation and after Mr..
Sherman's resolution had called pub
lie attention to the naval academy.
Il may be permitted to say also
that consideration should be given
the general rule that an investigation
is not usually ordered unless the
foundation is laid for it by evidence on
Instances of wrong-doing, and it is
presumed that the committee would
require this. / suggest further, that
before final action the committee au-
thorize me to summon the SupeIin-
tendent to appear before it, and that
if need be subcommittee of the
committee visit Annapolis, where ev-
cry facility will. of course, be open
to determine whether there is justi-
| fication for a formal investigation.
Il have written the above, not with
view to avert an investigation, if
congress shall deem it desirable, in
which case the department superin-
| tendent and all the officers will heart
! lily cooperate in making it thorough
and comDlete"

desperately fiirted with her and had
implanted within her an admiration
which was still alive when he was
an aged social exile. She had written
of him in earlier days that he appeared
TO her to be the perfection of man

Annapolis Inquiry.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The anti
polygamy crusade which resulted in
driving Roberts out of the house of
representatives from his seat at the
last session had an echo in the house
yesterday during the consideration of
the agricultural appropriation bill.
When the section making the appro-
priations for agricultural colleges of
the several states was reached Lands
of Indiana offered an amendment pro-
viding that no money should be paid
to the college in Utah until the secre-
tary of agriculture was satisfied that
no trustee or teacher in the institution
practiced polygamy. The amendment
came as IA complete surprise. King
who succeeded Roberts, tried in vain
to head it off with a point of order
and then inveighed against it as Sim
ply an aftermath of the Roberts cru
SADIE. He insisted that polygamy was
thing of the past.
King RetaIiates oil Indiana.
Lands replied by alleging that two
of the professors of the Utah Agri-
cultural college were polygamists, and
that one of the trustees had seven
wives and thirty-seven children. Up
on this showing the house adopted the
amendment. WnereupOn king fetalldted
by offering an amendment providing
that none of the money should go TO girl
cultural colleges in any state whose in
structorS or trustees have engaged in
lynching or been guilty of adultery or
fornicatlon. He afterwards modified
it so as to apply only to the agri-
cultural college of Indiana. 1t was. of
course. Overwhelmingly defeated. Sub
sequently. when the bill was reported
to the house, the Lands amendment
was stricken out by a vote of 50 to 10.

Mahon inveighed against the alleged

prating of their friendship for the
farmers. The farmers of Pennsylvania,
he said, knew more about agriculture
in an hour than those people over
there at the department did in a week.

farmers of his state was that in the
