BRUNSWICK BRIEFS.
Mysterious Indy Said to Have Inher-
tied Fortune.

Brunswick. Ga, July 24.-Local news
paper men are endeavoring to ascertain
the identity of the Brunswick lady
who it is rumored has just fallen heir
to a fortune of $4,000 cash by the
death of an uncle recently in Califor-
mia. Rumor has it that the lady is the
wife of a gentleman who moved here
about year ago, and who now occu-
pies a responsible position, but beyond
that nothing is known.
Final adjustment of losses incurred
by the recent Oglethorpe Hotel fire was
arrived at to-day, and settlement made
through Attorney Kay for the hotel
owners. 1t is understood that the to-
tai amount agreed upon approximates
81, 900.
New reached Brunswick to-day of
the trouble that has befallen Frank
Del Barrio. a young Cuban who was
arrested in Atlanta yesterday for al
legged improper transactions in cnecks
with parties around Cordele. Del Bar
rio is well known here, where he had
many customers for his cigar business.
He is also well known by parties ia
miliar with Havana affairs, and his
family is one of the oldest and most
highly respected of that city. His
friends here think there is some mis-
take regarding the illegality of Del
Barrio's conduct, as they have great
confidence in the young man.
Brunswick's colored baseball team
added another to their long list of vic
tories by defeating to-day the St. Au-

THE COURTS ORGANIZED.
President Taft of the Philippine
Commission Believes "The COnsti-
tuition Follows the Flag"
Correspondence of the Associated
Press)

Correspondence of the Associated
Press.)
Manila. June 12.-The passage to-day
by the Philippine Commission of the
act organizing the courts of the archi-
pelago brought a statement from Pres
ident Taft in reference to the wording
of the oath of Office to be taken by
judges. Support of the constitution of
the United States was purposely omit
ted from this oath, but recognition of
the supreme authority of the United
States was included.
Replying to a question by Senior Pa
terno, as to whether, since it was gen.
orally assumed that the constitution
follows the flag. the oaths of office of
Philippine officials should not include
support of the constitution, Judge Taft
said
THE oath to support the laws of the
Philippine Islands, if the validity of
these laws depends upon the consti-
tuition of the United States, is an oath
to support laws enacted in accordance
with the constitution of the United
States. There has been so much dis
cussion of the issue presented in this
form Does the constitution of the
United States follow the flag of the
United States? that it was thought
best not to invite discussion by chang
ing the form of oath from that which
had originally been adopted BY the
military government when the commits
sion came here.
Personally, 1 think that statement
of the issue is exceedingly misleading.
Every person who comes to these ISL
andS accredited as an officer
or agent of the United States
government, derives his authority from
some officer who was appointed under
the Constitution of the United States
therefore, it seems to me that to say
that the Constitution has no operation
in these islands, is to say something
which logically cannot be sustained,
and the real question is not whether
the Constitution extends to these ISL
ands, but what clauses of the Consti-
tuition affect the government of them.
In other words, the real issue is wheth-
er Congress or the President, acting
under the Constitution in asserting the
authority of the United States in these
islands, is restricted by certain limita-
tions in that Constitution which GER
tainly apply to the action of the
President and apply to the action of
Congress in dealing with the state.
"Now, the constitution contains a
clause which requires all duties on inn
ports to be uniform throughout the
United States. The Supreme Court
has, in a recent decision, news of which
came yesterday, decided that that
clause of the constitution does not APP
ply to government to be created by
Congress in Porto Rico and these ISL
ands. The statement that the consti-
tuition is in operation in these islands
may thus mean one thing to one per-
son and another thing to another.
Why. therefore, introduce into an oath
of office a form of statement which
might lead to misconstruction? Why
not follow the old form which serves
every purpose?"

At Least 1000 Additional Operatives
VIII BE Needed when the Mills
Resume in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of ALI
niscences of LincOIn's Assassina-
tiOn.
Columbus, Ga, July 24.-Mill owners
are trying TO solve the problem OF get
ting more workers. At least 900 opera
tives will be needed between now and
the middle of September, when the
new mill of the Bibb Company will
open up. A great many are needed
now. Mill men are discussing prop
osition to form an association and
raise fund to bring workers and
their families here free of charge and
to let them work at any mill they
please when they get here. The plan
OF advancing fare over the railroads
and deducting the amount from week
~ pay of operatives does not give
satisfaction and the need for more
workers Is now so great that 1t will
probably be decided to bring them here
at the expense of the mills, without
collecting the expense from them after
they get TO work.
Carpenters, brick layers and laborers
are also very scarce and building is
being delayed because the contractors
cannot get hands. Several large en-
terprises are delayed because no con-
tractors can be found who are willing
to undertake to complete the work In
the required time.
Charles T. Main, consulting engineer
of the Columbus Railroad Company,
owned by Boston syndicate, of which
George G. Baldwin of Savannah is
president, arrived to-day and will

improvements will be made, including
another belt line formed by connecting
up the north highlands and Rose Hill
lines, thus making a loop around the
new cotton mills on the Highlands.
Mrs. Kathyren Evans, actress, here
with Clayton Woodward Company,
was one of the members of the stock
company playing at Ford's Theater
when J. Wilkes Booth assassinated
Abraham Lincoln. Her description of
the scenes and incidents of that fear
full night is thrilling. She did not see
the murderer as he escaped, but she
saw the murdered Lincoln sitting in
his private box, with his head on his
breast. his wife standing by his side
gently tanning his pale face. She says
the scene is one that will linger with
her till her dying day.

NEWPORT SHUDDERS
SHE'LL FROM THE KEARsARGE
sCREECHES OVER THE RESORT.

Officers From the Battleship Come

TOp-The Piece Was Discharged
While the Crew Was at the Usual
Evening Drill.
Newport, r. l., July 24.-The screech-
ing of a shell that proved to have come
from the U. S. S. Kearsarge, and its
explosion into fragments that broke
a small piece of stone out of the new
city hall building on Broadway and cut
a limb from a tree near by, caused
great CONSERVATION among Newport
citizens shortly after 5 o'clock this
evening. Half an hour later two Off
GERS came ashore from the Kearsarge,
traced the shell to the city hall and
obtained information as to its passage
over the city. They examined some of
the pieces and pronounced the shell a
one-pounder from the KearsarSe. after
which they returned without making
any explanation.
From the flagship it was learned that
the crew was called to quarters at 5
o'clock. The gun crews took their posi-
tons, pointed the guns and went
through the work of firing. A Norden-
felt Maxim automatic gun in the after
fighting top went off when the crank
was turned. Immediately all on board
were alive and the officers were max
ing hurried inquiries. The crews in the
top declared that a shot had been fired,
but that it had struck in the water
just short of the wharves. The officers
were thereupon dispatched to the shore
in order to assure Rear Admiral Hig-
ginson that such was the fact.
On the wharf a scared party of fish
ermen were found who declared that
something had passed over their heads
screening loudly. How the shot hap
pened to be fired has not been explain
ed. The matter will be thoroughly in
vestigated.
