tor. for the state. questioned the right OF

right 10 interfere, and that the term OF
Imprisonment should begin The presid-
ing judge took the matter under consider
alton
The case arose over the alleged effort
10 brihe a jury BY Gorham some months
ago The presiding Judge. Brown. SEN
fenced Gorham TO pay a fne and be i'm
prisoned for contempt The case was TAX
en- 70 the superior court. and the decision
OF Judge Brown affirmed. Gorham- how
ever. secured from the governor a respite
until March nth When counsel for the
former law agent presented this respite
20 Judge Shaw. in the superior court OF
Iredell county. Solicitor Hammer made the
point that the governor had no constitu-
tional right 10 interfere. and the Judge
took the matter under consideration The
grand Jury. IN connection with this mat
ter presented true bills OF indictment
against Gorham and his alleged accom-
plfce, one Ramsey. for embracery. and the
court required each to give bond OF 500
for their appearance and 500 for delivery

GAS IS FLOWING
BUT OIL WAS WANTED

Natural gas has been discovered at Win
chester. Tenn, by the party Of Atlanta
men who have been boring for oil in that
territory for some time past. The an
nouncement of the good luck came yes
terday in a telegram to George w. Sci
pie of Atlanta, from Charles c. Ander-
son, who. is in Winchester.
Mr. Sciple. Mr.. Anderson and others had
much faith in the oil possibilities at Win
chester, which is near Chattanooga They
started several wells. and while there
have been traces of oil several times, and
while the indications have remained good,
al none of the wells did they strike oil.
There were no results until the flow of
gas came.
1t may be that the flow OF gas will stop
within a few days. If that occurs 1t will,
of course, have been of no value, but if 1t
continues and becomes natural gas we'll,
1t will naturally be of immense CONNER
cial value, and will yield splendid profit
to those who own it.
If the flow of gas stops, the Atlanta gen.
tlemen will continue boring for oil, which
they are now more convinced tnan ever
is under the soil at Winchester.

CAP TAIN h DWELL
TELLS ABOUT
PARK BILL
COUNCILMAN HOWELL RETURNS
FROM WASHINGTON WHERE HE
WENT TO LEARN ABOUT THE
r. PEAcHTREE PARK BILL,

The fact that the Atlanta military park
bill is In excellent shape and is likely to-
be acted upon favOrably at this session
of congress was announced by Capt. 3.
p Howell, councilman from the seventh
ward who returned from Washington
Saturday evening. He had been in confer
ence for three days with the Georgia dele
CATION at the national capitol regarding
the bill which proposes to make nation
al military park of the fields surrounding
the spot where the famous battle OF
Peachtree creek took place.
In speaking of the bill Captain Howen
stated that it was his opinion that the
bill would not be pushed to one side by
the press of other business at this session.
He is very much encouraged over the
prospects.
The Washington Post printed the follow
ing concerning Captain Howell during his
visit to Washington:

light than to jolly a scribe, especially as

COMMITTEES has committed a grave error
in emitting Atlanta from its list Of cities
TO be visited by the prince When Henry
returns to Germany the first question the
kaiser will ask him WIFI be: Did you go
to Atlanta?' Henry will reply. No Then
the kaiser will say: You made mis-
take. General Motlke told me when was
a boy that there were more men killed
and wounded around Atlanta during three
months Of the civil war than at any other
place in the country. Besides my broth'
err il was the center of the southern con-
federacy-the backbone. as the Americans
call it,
4nother thing, the kaiser will con-
tinue, don't you know that General Sher-
man, in his published accounts OF At
lanta, said that in the event of another
war. Atlanta would be the most impor-
tant center? With that city as focal
point. the government could send in Il
hours troops to Norfolk Savannah, Will
mIngton, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Mobile.
New Orleans, and, In fact, all southern
points. Ny dear brother. you ought TO
have looked into this matter. 1 am afraid
you let these itinerary makers fool you.

RIVAL To DUMONT
LOSES HIS SHIP
BY FLAMES
FLYER OWNED AND INVENTED BY
BUCHANAN is TOTALLY CON.
SUMED BY FIRE IN
HAMPSHIRE.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Fire at Denmead.
Hampshire. has destroyed Buchanan's
airship. which was built to rival the air
ship of NJ. Santos-Dumont. according to
a dispatch from London to The Journal
and American. The fire broke out in the
shed in which Buchanan's flyer was
housed. Tramps charged with starting
the blaze have been arrested.
This loss will be a serious setback for
Thomas Buchanan. the English inventor,
who recently completed the burned air
ship after devoting 20 years OF thought
and labor to its construction. In con-
structing his machine Mr.. Buchanan en-
deavored as closely as possible to follow
the outlines of bird. The steering gear
was an automatic rudder, shaped like a
fish fin. Gasoline motors entered into the
scheme of propulsion and the inventor
planned to carry passengers inside the
body of the machine instead OF in an at
tached car. The inventor had not given
a public demonstration Of the working Of
the machine.
