It Is publicly known that the fnan-

S. Fairchild, Wheeler H. Peckham and

to Mayor Low a letter in which they
Endorsed him for denomination on the

supported him two years ago should
be willing to do so this year, and urg-
ing him to accept denomination.
The letter says: mo sane man can
now believe that Democratic successes
in the state and nation will be made
more certain by turning over the
finances of this city to the body Of
Jmen at present in control of Tam
many Hall. With the city treasury
eliminated from party contests, the

come to the front, and a true party

MACHEN SUES UMSTED.
Another Chapter Opens in the steel
Plant History.

RANT History.
Brunswick, Ga, Sept. IA suit was
filed in the Superior Court of Glynn
county to-day by Col. E. C. Machen
through his attorney against Frank A
Umsted of Worcester, Mass. for $12.-
500. The suit is in the way of an at
tachment on the stock owned by I'm
sted in the Brunswick and Birmingham
Railroad, and that company was
served with the necessary papers to-
day. 1t is not believed, however, that
Umsted now owns any stock of the
Brunswick and Birmingham.
At the time that the steel plant was
thought to be coming here, Umsted
and his associates purchased a large
slice of the Brunswick and Birming-
ham, and he was elected chairman of
the board of directors. but since that
time a complete reorganization has oc-
CURED, and it is not now believed that
he has any interests at all in the road.
Col. Machen claims that this is the
amount due him by Umsted, but just
how the Massachusetts man became
indebted to the Georgian in this
amount is not known. Umsted, it will
be remembered. is the man who came
to Brunswick as president and general
manager of the Mohawk Valley Steel
and Wire Company, with the alleged
intention of erecting mammoth
steel plant in this city. He was guar
anteed over 100000 by the people of
Brunswick. but the failure of the
plant is we'll known to the reading
public generally.
Umsted. in some way, succeeded in
getting ex-United States Senator Nc
Laurin interested with him, and a big
suit is now pending in New York
against Umsted and in favor Of Nc
Laurin.
Machen and Umsted, it seemed. were
close friends in the steel plant and
Brunswick and Birmingham deal, and
both of them sold out and left the
Brunswick and Birmingham about the
same time in New York. Machen
may by suing for the money
he took from Umsted for his interests
in the Brunswick and Birmingham.
but he is not in the city and could
not be seen on the subject.

Barlow, Fla, Sept. 1O.-Mr. ]. l..
Hollingsworth of Arcadia and Miss

road the bridegroom could not reach

At last accounts he was trying to
reach Lotto by private conveyance in
order to take the train for Lakeland.

force of hands at work clearing the

IS AT HIGH WATER
r,DE OF PENSION ROLLS MAY BE
ExPECTED TO RECEDE.
TURNING POINT IS REACHED.
ruAT IS THE OPINION OF COMMITS
sIoNER LINDSEY.

1nIess the Legislature should Ex-
tend the Pension Laws So as 10
constitute More Beneiciaries, the
commissioners Looks for "A Reduc-
zion in the Number of Pensioners
from Now On--News of Atlanta and
the state.
Atlanta, Sept 17.-Pension Commits
1ioner ]. w. Lindsey expresses the
opinion that the pension rolls of the
state have reached high water mark,
and that there will be decrease in
the number of pensions paid from now
on unless the Legislature should ex-
tend the pension laws so as to include
additional classes of pensioners.
The death rate in the different classes
is from 4 to Z per cent. annually, and
from the applications which have come
In for next year the indications are
that the number of new pensioners to
60 on the rolls will not exceed, and
may fall slightly below, the number
of deaths. At any rate, it looks as if
an even balance will be established,
which means the turning point.
The large increase in the number
of pensioners since 1901 has been due
to the new class of widows, or in
dgent widows provided for by the
Legislature three years ago. In 1902,
1876 pensioners were paid, and the
increase in 1903 was only 1884, due prin-
cipaly to these INDECENT widows. It
is expected that the number next year
will be less than that of this year.
due to an Increased number of deaths
in the INDECENT and disabled soldier
classes.
Commissioner Lindsey will present
the matter fully to the Legislature in
his next report.
To the Tax Collectors.
Controller General w. A Wright is
sending out to-day his instructions to
tax collectors all over the state. In
these he calls special attention to the
collection of specific taxes and to the
duty of tax collectors to collect dou-
BILE taxes on all unreturned property,
professions and polls. He calls atten-
ton also to the fact that tax collectors
must make their final returns by April
20, and says the law in this matter
will be vigorously enforced.
Capitol Growing Too Small.
The search for offices for the State
Board of Health in the Capitol has de-
veloped the inadequacy of that build

The meteorological laboratory will

while the office of the secretary, DR..
H. F. Harris, will be on the third

Many of the committee rooms of the
House and Senate are now being used
as offices and working rooms by the
various departments, and space has
become exceedingly scarce. So great
is the demand for quarters that there
has been suggestion of getting the
Legislature to provide a separate
building for the Supreme Court to the
end that the rooms now occupied by
that body may be used by the other
departments.

DECLARED THAT JETT
WANTS TO CONFESS
He Does Not wish 10 stand Another
Trial for Murder.

Trial for Murder.
Cynthiana, KY. Sept. lin the
trial of Curtis Jett for the alleged
assassination of James Cockrill at
jackson, KY, to-day the state began
its evidence.
Thomas Cockrill. prosecuting wit
ness. made a. sensational statement
this afternoon. He stated that Curtis
Jett's mother had just appealed to
him because the friends of her son in
former trials were now deserving him.
Cockrill says Jetts mother says her
son will tell all, If he is spared from
the gallows.
Cockrill says he told her the case
was now beyond his control, and then
he learned that Jett was with difficulty
prevented from making a confession
to-day, involving prominent people
and that he had said he would confess
all tomorrow before he would stand
trial in the pending case. and that
the only chance now of preventing u
confession was in a continuance of the
case.
Mrs. Hagins, the mother of Curtis
Jett, in appealing to Thomas Cock
rill, named all the prominent people
at Jackson, Ky, who helped her son
IN the Marcum murder trial, and said
they were now deserving him in the
Cockrill case. She reminded Thomas
Cockrill that he and Curtis Jett were
first cousins, that the same blood
coursed through their veins and that
her son was not responsible for the
death of his brother, Jim Cockril, and
others.
Thomas Cockrill says he was greatly
affected by the appeals of his aunt. and
he says he is telling her boy to con-
fess all rather than stand trial in this
case as a scapegoat.
1t is believed that Mrs. Hagins has
been advised by Curtis Jett to go to
his Cousin Tom on this mission.

JEWS AND CHRISTIANS
FOUGHT IN RUSSIA
Serious Encounters in which Both
Sides Suffered.

st. Petersburg, Sept 17.-Fierce
fights between Jews and Christians
in which four Christians and two Jews
were killed and many persons were Sc
riously injured, are reported from Co
mel, in the government of Moghileff.
The disturbances arose Sept. II from
a dispute between peasant and a
Jewish dealer The police interviewed
and, according to the version publish
ed here, the Jews threw stones and
fired on the police, several of whom
were injured.
The disturbances were renewed three
days later, some Jewish booths being
demolished. The Jdws attempted TO
prevent the destruction of the booths
and twenty persons were injured on
both sides. Troops then arrived on
the scene and were received with shots
from the Jews. The military returned
the fire and ultimately restored order
