CONGRESS WILL NOT
CHANGE ARMY BASIS

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-Representative
Hull, chairman OF the house committee on
military affairs. said today that there
would be no move at this session OF con-
gress for a revision of the present army
organization, or for any broad. general
legislation affecting the army
''I have been quoted as fayoring re-
duction Of the army to $4,000" said Mr..
Hull This is incorrect and absurd, IN
view of the fact that the president has
the power under the present law to make
reductions within the range Of 10000 to
$1,000 men.
There will be several bills OF a special
character affecting the army One Of
these special measures will be framed
when the army board now in session de-
termines on the four large ports for great
assembling camps for the regular army in
various parts of the country. Another
bill provides for numerous retirements in
accordance with recommendations of the
war department"

POLICE DRAG JUDGE
OUT OF COURT CHAIR

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-The contest over
the possession of police courts in Brook
lyn was continued today. As~@@~
The old magistrates yA6 were appointed
during the term of Mayor Van Wyck
maintained possession of two of the courts
under a truce whereby the newly elected
magistrates were to await further legal
discussion as to the constitutionality OF
the law under which they we're elected. !
In the Adams street court. however, a
scene was created by an order from Wal
ter L. Durack. an elected magistrate. TO
the police to remove Edward ]. Dooley.
a Van Wyek appointee from the court
room.
The police. acting under opinion of cor
poration Counsel Rives. recognized Du-
rack as the legally elected magistrate, and
and they forcibly elected Deoley.a
Two policemen then assembled to the.
bench and each SELLING .Dooley by an arm,
lifted him bodily from his chair.
AS soon as the chair was empty Du-
rack sprang into it and declared the court
adjourned. Dooley after his forcible re-
noval went to the Office of his attorney.
Justice Mareau in the supreme court is
sued an order Saturday directing the
sheriff OF Kings county to recognize the
appointed magistrates on the ground that
the law under which the contesting mag
istrates were elected was unconstitutional.
At about the same time, Corporation
Counsel Rives gave an opinion to the po-
lice department holding it to be their duty
go regard the elected magistrates as le-
gany entitled to the possession of the Of
fees

TO PREVENT WRECKS
! BY BETTER SIGNALS

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-Train dispatchers Of
the country want. all possibility of COL
lisions removed by doing away with the
present system of train orders that can
be rnisinterpreted. and signals that may be
unseen. 1t is proposed TO substitute col
ored electric lights in the engine cab, sig
nails that always can be seen and never
can be misunderstood.
Among those who urge a change is A.
c. Miller, of Aurora, chief dispatcher OF
the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy rail-
way. He suggested that several disas-
trous wrecks in the last thirty days were
due to the alleged misunderstanding Of
written orders and insists that written
orders never should be used.
The placing of block signals along the
track at this day when trains often run
so miles an hour is neld to be unsafe, as
they cannot always be seen by the engi-
neer when going at such speed.
Automatic blocks or lights in the en-
CINE cab said Mr.. Miller. means just
two things. When they are clear or white
the train should proceed. When they are
red the train should stop. There should
be no written orders"

COOK COUNTY DEMOCRATS
ARE COMING TO ATLANTA

The Cook County Democratic club, of
Chicago, H., famous the country over as
a political organization, will send 900 or
its members on a tour through the south
next month, and Atlanta will be the prin-
cipal point of interest that the club will
visit Charlotte. n. c., Savannah. Ca. and
other smaller towns will have the pleasure
Of entertaining the club also.
Mayor Carter Harrison. of Chicago, who
is a member of the club. will be in the
party II is said by some that Mayor Har-
rison will be the Democratic candidate for
president I'm 1904. and some folks who have
heard OF the proposed tour state that the
object Of this trip IS to start a Harrison
boom for the presidency. This, OF course,
is denied.
The members of the club will travel by
special train and will be in the south
nearly three weeks.
The southern tour Of the Cook County
Democratic club is said TO have no polit-
ical significance. The body has about
LOO members and the 200 members who
will represent IL on the southern trip are
among the most prominent men of Chi
cago. who propose. merely. to pay an
informal and friendly visit to the south
land. They will leave Chicago February
5th. going first to indianapolis, then to
Cincinnati. then to Huntington. W. v, To
Clifton Forge. Va. 10 Charlottesville, TO
Richmond, Old Point Comfort Newport
News. DanviIle. Charlotte. Columbia.
Charleston. Savannah. Jessup. Atlanta,
Chattanooga, Lexington Louisville. In
dianapolis and then home again.
The club is probably the best known
political body in America. and by the mag
nificent personnel of its membership has
won much admiration on many occasions
in Chicago. New York and elsewhere.

ELECTED BY FIFTH REGIMENT
V. n. sHEARER is CHOSEN
AS MAJOR IN THE
ELECTION.

The question of officers for the Fifth
regiment. Georgia state troops. which has
been disturbing element in the command
i'm the past. is again uppermost in the
minds of the members of the regiment
Hon. Clifford L. Anderson was Monday
night elected to the place of lieutenant
colonel.
For the position of major there were two
candidates. Harry Anderson, who is cap
tain of Company G, and the regimental
acting adiutant and V. Fl. Shearer, cap
tain of Company NJ Among the Atlanta
officers Mr.. Shearer Monday night receiv-
ed eleven votes, while Mr.. Anderson re-
ceived six.
The companies at Rome. Newman and
Cartersville were to be heard from Monday
morning. The Journal wired these places
and found that the Rome officers had
given Mr. Anderson four votes. while the
Gainesville companies had given Mr.
Shearer two votes. This makes a total
of ten votes for Mr.. Anderson and a total
of 10 for Mr.. Shearer. AS there are only
two votes at Newman. 1t appears that in
any event Mr.. Shearer has been elected
TO the place of major in the command.

MILITARY FUND is
TO Be USED FOR
ARMORIES
SOLDIERS WANT ARMoRY RENT
PAID RATHER THAN HAVE AN
ENcAMPMENT.

Governor Gambler has not determined
yet what course ne will take regarding
the military fund. There has been dtvid-
ed opinion lonesome time among the mill
tary men as to the best way to use 1t.
Some of the soldiers want state encamp-
ments and others wanted their armory
rent paid. To determine the question
Governor Gambler sent out circular letters
to the military men of the state asking
their opinion as to the most beneficial
way to use the money.
A majority of the infantrymen favor the
payment of armory rent while the cavai-
rymen want an encampment. The gov
ernor was not sure until the Supreme
court decided that the public property
fund could be used whether or not the
soldiers could get any money. He said
today that he had not determined on what
course he would pursue but he thought 1t
likely that the armory rent of the SOL
diers would continue to be paid.
This will amount to about $4,000 every
year. The appropriation was for $4,000.
Of this amount 5000 has to be reserved
for riot duty and about 5000 for the other
expenses of the military. There is consid-
cradle interest among the military men
regarding the use of the money, and many
of them will not doubt be glad to know
that the governor will probably use the
$1,000 for armory rent. Next year
larger appropriation will be asked so that
an encampment can be held.

COL. WOODWARD OUT
OF FIFTH REGIMENT

Colonel Park Woodward Tuesday af-
ternoon rendered his resignation as the
commanding officer of the Fifth regiment
and made application to the adjutant gen.
eral of the state TO be retired from ac-
tive duty in the Georgia state troops.
BY being placed upon the retired list
Colonel Woodward retains his title and Is
subject TO military duty at any time that
the state may need his services, but he
will not be in command of regiment and
will not be called upon to do military
duty during times of peace.
Major w. A. Patton, of Rome, Ga. the
senior officer of the regiment, is now in
command and will remain I'm charge until
Lieutenant Colonel Clifford l.. Anderson
qualities for his commission.
Those officers of the regiment who are
acquainted with the situation declare that
the resignation of Colonel Woodward was
precipitated by the election of V. II.
Shearer, captain of Company NJ, to the
position OF major in the command, which
was done over the protest of Colonel
Woodward, the latter officer having ex-
pressed a desire to have Harry Ander-
son. captain of Company c, who has been
the acting adyutant general of the regi-
ment, elected to the place.
Directly after it became certain Tues
day afternoon that Mr.. Shearer had been
elected, Colonel Woodward transmitted
his resignation from the regiment and his
application for retirement to the office of
the adjutant general of the state and no.
titled Major Patton, of Rome, that until
Lieutenant Colonel Anderson had quail
| fed he would be in command of the
Fifth regiment. - gi.er- 1871 -t,.-
/ Colonel Woodward does not state that
his resignation was caused by the cleo
ton of Major Shearer. He declares that
he has been considering the advisability
Of resigning for some time and realized
that this was an opportunity.
Following is a special dispatch which
announces that Major Patton has received
the letter of Colonel Woodward:
Especial Dispatch TO The Journall
ROME, Ga. Jan. S-Major W. A. Pat
ton, of the Fifth Georgia regiment. re-
ceived a letter today from Colonel Park
Woodward stating that he had rendered
his resignation to the governor. Colonel
Woodward notified Major Patton that he,
as senior major of the regiment, was in
command until the newly elected lieu
tenant colonel is commissioned.
Major Patton was seen by a Journal
representative and asked for a statement
relative to the resignation. Major Patton
stated that he received the letter from
Colonel Woodward this morning. but he
knew nothing of the reasons for the colo
ners withdrawal. He was surprised at the
! intellisence Of the letter and that as an
officer he was bound to obey the instruc-
tons received.
| Major Patton expressed regret that so
capable an officer should retire from the
service and said Colonel Woodward would
be greatly missed. Major Patton is one of
! tho most capable military men in the
state and his friends are congratulating
| him upon the honor Of having the COM
mand of the Fifth regiment pending the
issuance of a commission to the lieutenant
colonel"

OIL AT PENSACOLA
EXCITES POPULACE
FLoRIDANs THINK THEY HAVE
STRUCK A FORTUNE IN Pc
TRoLEUM DEPOSITS.

PENSACOLA, Fla, Jan. 6.-Excitement
was at a high pitch in certain quarters
of the city Saturday evening when II De
came known that a strong showing OF
oil had been struck at the well now being
sunk In the rear of the pilots ONCE on
the bay front. This strong evidence OF
oil was struck at depth of less than 30
feet below the surface. and as Pensacola
Is about I'm the same latitude as the Dig
Texas fields. where the first Lucas well
brought up oil in paying quantities at less
than 900 feet it is of course reasonably
certain that the oleaginous substance VIII
soon be brought up in large quantities.
Saturdays developments demonstrate
that stronger indications Of petroleum
have been shown than ever before. Large
Pinch pipe have been sunk to a depth
of 40 feet. Then smaller four-inch pipe
was forced down and inside of the larger
pipe until it reached a depth OF 100 feet
To facilitate the operations by softening
the strata streams OF water are forced
between the pipes and at the latter depth
the water came up and brought up
large amount of oil mixed with Jumps re-
sembling asphalt. Small quantities have
been coming up all along, but Saturday
the amount was so large and so plain
that all interested parties were highly
elated with the situation, and some sup
pressed excitement was consequent. IN
speaking of the find local paper mas
the following regarding the character OF
the oil:
"The oil is like that of Beaumont. al
most without odor. 1t is not quite so
heavy with weightier oils and bituminous
ingredients as that Of Texas. Analysis
show that Il contains almost 81 per cent
of Illuminating and lubricating oils. The
existence of such pocket indicates that
the natural reservoir is not far away.
The oil found is even believed to be bet
ter than that OF Beaumont
1.-THE successive strata passed through
were of wet sand, coarser than that on
the surface. The pipe has now entered
a stratum of a cream colored mari, in
cI.ned to red in hue. 1t is in this that
the pocket opened yesterday, exists. If
the oil exists further in depth. as is now
strongly indicated. the oil-bearing level
will probably be reached when the drill
strikes either black gravel or a bitumi-
nous SHOE The drill pipe had become
jammed ia the large pipe just before the
promising exhibit of petroleum came up.
II was after the former came away with
a jerk that the petroleum showed itself
so strongly"
The fact that this valuable discovery
was made has caused the operators to
put a ban on all sightseers and hereafter
none will be allowed within the derrick
surroundings but the workmen.
Another oil well is being sunk several
miles below the city b. a company cap
italized at S135.000. This well was only
started last Friday. but the company is
in fact the first company organized to
drill for oil here.

MN Bore Near Rome Cor ON.

ROME, Ca. Jan. 6.-The Rome Petrol
cum and Iron company will begin in few
DAYS to bore for OIL near this city in the
fiatwoods. 1t is the purpose o. the COM
pany to sink five wells and to gradually
increase the number as the exigencies OF
the case may demand. The machinery
will be in Rome the latter part OF this
week and active work will begin.
There appears TO be no doubt Of oil in
the locality selected. as the evidence Is
almost infal1ible. The company has a
nillion-dollar capital. and many OF the
stockholders are in Rome from Chicago
inspecting the lands and preparing for the
work. They claim that there is solid
lake OF oil In the fatwoOds and thousands
of gallons of oil will be discovered. The
company has also a large interest in the
mining of ore in Alabama and this state
and are enthusiastic over the prospects.

OBEAR
CONTINUES WORK
HE is UNDER ORDERS TO INSPECT
FIVE COMPANIES OF TROOPS
IN SAVANNAH.

Inspector General William c. Obear is
under orders to inspect the FIVE companies
of negro troops in Savannah, and from
this order it looks as if the inspector gen.
eral will continue in his place, and not be
ousted, as was reported just prior to jan
uary LIST.
Colonel Obear has been at work every
day this year, although it was stated by
the governor that on January LIST the
status of the war % department would
be the same as it was before the death
of Adjutant General Kell.
Some said that the statement that Col
onel Obear would be retired from his po-
sition without pay, except when on duty,
was the result of the failure of the mill
tary bill to pass. This Governor Gambler
denied ~
Anyhow, Colonel Obear is at work and
Phil Byrd is at work and Adjutant Cen
eral Robertson is at work, and the indi-
cations are that they will all be at work
until another administration comes in,
which will be I'm October Then some
changes may take place.

ALERT MORRISON DIED
VERY SUDDENLY YESTERDAY

Alert Morrison, son of Bishop and Mrs
H. C. Morrison, of Louisville, XVI, died
suddenly yesterday shortly before noon at
the residence of his cousin, Dr. r. r.
Kline No. PSI Jackson street He had
been i'll with pneumonia for about week,
but until within half an hour of his death
ne seemed improving. Death is thought
to have been due to heart failure.
Both the father and the mother of the
young man were on a visit to DIR. Kline,
and were at the bedside when death came.
Mr.. Morrison was "a years of age. He
was attending - Oxford college in Spar
tanburg. s, c.. and came to Atlanta just
before Christmas to spend the holidays
with his parents here.
He then had a severe cold which later
developed into pneumonia. There were no
alarming symptoms and his physicians
were confident of his recovery. 1t is
thought his weakened condition induced
the attack of heart failure which caused
mis- death.
