Pardon for Americans Ar
rested in Venice.
DONE BY KINGS ORDER
LIEUT.. DODDRIDGE'S VERSION OF
THE AFFAIR.
Attacked by Mob for Accidental Up
setting of
Table.

VENICE, May 2.-The pardon granted
by King Victor Emmanuel to the officers
and marines of the United States cruiser
Chicago. who imprisoned here, arrived
this morning, and the prisoners were re-
leased without delay.
In an interview with a representative OF
the Associated Press the imprisoned Of
ficers warmly repudiated the reports from
Rome that they were under the influence
of wine a the time of the trouble and sad
that. on the contrary, they were absolutely
sober.
Lieutenant John S. DOddridge remarked 8:
After the accidental upsetting of a table
in cafe by myself and companion at
II o'clock at night were followed and
attacked by a mob, and two municipal po-
Iicemen appeared on the scene. l. with my
open hand. motioned to the crowd to keep
off The police then seized us, but the mob
continued so threatening that our brother
officers and marine who happened TO be
on the piazza ran to our rescue. We acted
only in self defense and against a large,
hostile crowd. We did not strike the po-
lice. Doubtless misunderstanding Of tho
two languages had something to do with
the trouble. We have been allowed to re-
main together In prison.. but the room IN
which we have been confined swarmed with
insects.
Official confirmation of the release of the
four officers and the marine attached to the
U. S. S. Chicago. who have been in Jail
e. Venice. reached here this morning in
the shape of a cablegram from Captain
Dayton, commanding the Chicago. to Secre-
tary Moody. The text of the cablegram is
follows:
VENICE. May .
Secretary of the Navy. Washington:
Party released on pardon from king and
are on board. DAYTON"
1t Is stated at the Navy Department that
nothing further will be done here In the
case of the officers involved in the trouble
al Venice until the full investigation and
report of Captain Dayton supply the facts.
So far neither the State nor the Navy De
partment is officially informed Of the details
of what actually occurred at Venice, and
until the essential facts are forthcoming no
action will be taken here. There is scarce
ly any doubt, however, that the officers
Will be court-martialed in compliance with
tsie assurance alleged to have been given to
the Italian authorities as reason for their
release from confinement in Venice In the
usual course the officer in command of a
station-ia this case Capt Craig of the
A-bany-is obliged by the regulations TO or
der the trial OF officers or men on the sta
tlon who have violated the regulations but
as the present case il of such d serious
character, involving our foreign relations, it
Is probable that the President or the Secre-
tary OF the Navy will order the court-mar-
I;aI from w ashington, just as was done in
the case of the army officers in the Philip-
pines
Later in the day cablegram was re-
ctiEed at the State Department from Mr.
Meyer, United States ambassador at Rome

A TOWNS LOOKING GLASSES.

The newspapers of town are like
looking glasses, and you see yourself
as others see you. If your town is do
ing business. the local paper will show
it in its advertising columns, but if the
merchants are scared, spritless men
with stores of good all jumbled together
and no business doing, the newspapers
will show it by the lack of space they
take. II you want settlers in your
town, or if you want to make your town
live town, the best way to do it is to
keep your advertisement constantly be-
fore the public in your local paper.
Who wants to settle in dead town,
whose merchants are too scared to let
outside people know there is any bust
ness in the town? For live merchants

BLIND TIGERS.

The citizens of Triton, Ga. held a
meeting in the opera house and pledged
themselves to drive from their midst
every blind tiger. The lawyers of the
town, every one of them, pledged them
selves to take no retainer, and nearly
every one present pledged themselves
not to go on bond for one of them.
Notice has already been served on the
blind tigers that they must move, and
another meeting will be held to see that
the ordersShave been obeyed. The dis
patch closes with this significant re-
mark: THE people here are deter
mined to put them out, and it is safe to
say that they will do so OF course it
will be done whenever the people in the
dignity of their strength determine to
do thing it can he done, and it can be
done in Marietta as we'll as in Triton.

NEW FACES.

People move away and people move
in. A constant change of inhabitants.
If some OF our former citizens who
lived here fifteen or twenty years ago
should come back to Marietta now, the
many strange faces they would see
would confuse them as much as "Old
Rip Van Wrinkle" was confused when
he awoke from his long sleep in the
mountains and went back to his village
home. Change is written on every-
thing and there is nothing more certain
than that with the fight of time the
changes are conspicuous. The places
that were filled by former friends and
acquaintances are now occupied by new
ones, and thus the old town moves on
with progressive strides, never back
ward, but onward. Old houses torn
away and new ones built in their places
Theryery aspect is constantly changing.

IMPROVEMENT SOCIETIES.

In New England states, village i'm
provement societies exist in nearly
every town, the purpose being to beau
tity the town, securing we'll paved
streets, beautiful drive ways, shady
parks and coy hooks, and are the worst
enemy OF ugly bill boards, flaming dead
wall posters and ugly, filthy streets. A
village improvement society inculcates
love for the beautiful and aesthetic.
A similar society in Marietta, to Coop
crate with the city council, would be of
infinite benefit to the town, and we
would be glad to see our ladies organ
ize village improvement society, for
there is good deal to do here to make
our beautiful town more beautiful and
attractive. The various sidewalks lead
ing from the square and the streets
could be greatly improved if a society
was in existence to raise the necessary
funds and push the work.

PROMISES.

Promises, it is said, are like pie crust,
easily made and easily broken. Peo-
pie want to be sincere, but they lack
strength of will power or character to
be true to promises made. A man
promises to meet another at a certain
hour to transact an important piece of
busir ess; the hour arrives but the man
does net; and there is disappointment,
a waste of time and probably loss of
confidence. There is monied obliga-
ton and promise to pay on certain
day. The other party makes promise
on that promise the first party fails to
pay and the second party is placed in
an embarrassing situation and conf
dence is lost in his honesty. There is a
hurried parting, good bye. and a prom
Use to write soon Weeks and months
run by, and the long-looked-for letter
does not come. There is suspicion of
hippancy ard insincerity, and doubt
saddens the heart. Be punctual, be
sincere, and keep the promises you
make and there will be good examples
set by old and young in Marietta.

Mary Fleming, of Columbus, Ca, were
in surrey, returning from DR.. B. L.
Mclntosh's residence on Locust street.
Mr.. Cole and child were on the front

Kennesaw Avenue, the little child on
the front seat fell out, on it's head
knocking it almost unconscious. Mr.
Cole in his excitement turned loose the
lines and jumped out and the horse
kept on. Mr.. J. r. King, who was
near, said to Mr.. Cole. "The child is
is not badly hurt, and you had better
stop that horse" Mr.. Cole turned the
child over to Mr.. King and took after
the horse, which began to go faster.
The ladies screamed and some man
attempted to stop the horse by waving
his hands. This frightened the horse
and he began speed that was very
rapid, and as he turned the corner at
Rev. Mr.. Pisces residence, the buggy
turned over, throwing the occupants
out, the horse going to the ground at the
same time. Mrs. Cole was badly hurt

six stitches to close it, jawbone
broken, and otherwise injured, but
nothing serious. Her child ESCAPED

Mrs. Cole was carried to Mr.. A. V.

fortunate escape from fatal results, and
their many friends while, regretting the
the accident, are glad that it was no
worse.
