LAWYERS AT TALLULAH.
First Days Session of the Bar
Association.

Association.
Tallu1ah Falls. Ga, July 1.-The
Georgia Bar Association convened here
in annual session this afternoon. The
meeting was called to order by Judge
Marcus w. Beck, chairman of the Exec
utive Committee.
After the routine organization bust
ness, including. the adoption of the
daily programme, thirty-five new MEM
bers were admitted to the association.
President Burton Smith took the
chair shortly after the opening of the
session and will preside throughout the
convention.
The feature of the day was the ad-
dress of President Burton Smith on
Trusts and Monopolies." He handled
his subject in a nlasterful manner and
was given an attentive hearing.
The presence of Judge Alton B. Par
ker of New York, is an interesting feat
ure Of the convention. Judge Parker
has met all the attorneys attending the
convention and has. been the recipient
of much attention. There has been no
talk of politics. Judge Parker has
shown distinct disinclination for con-
versation of this character, and his
hosts have respected his wishes.
Following the address of the presi-
dent an able and highly interesting re-
port was made by washington Dessau
of Macon for the committee which has
made a study of the Torrens system
for the registration of land titles. The
excellent results obtained from the
system based on this plan were dwelt
upon, and 1t was recommended that
the Legislature be asked to appoint
a special committee. to investigate the
subject with a view to future legis-
lation.
An informal discussion of the gen.
eral question was participated in by
Judge Van Epps, Col P. w. Meldrim,
Judge Sweat and Reuben Arnold. On
the motion of Mr.. Miflek of Columbus
committee, consisting of Messrs. Nor
| ris, Dessau, Meldrim and Sweat, was
! appointed to draft a resolution aimed
| to bring the matter formally to the
attention of the Legislature.
At the night session two papers were

Newport, r. l.. July 2.-This after
noon for the first time in the history
of American ninety-footers a fatal ac-
cident occurred.
Carl B. Olsen, a seaman on the old
cup defender Columbia and one of the
best men in the crew, was washed
mm~1 the bowsprit just before the
Yacht reached the first turn in to-
DAYS race, and was drowned.
Two other men, who were on the
bowsprit with Olsen swapping the big
lib topsail on the sail, were washed
in board by the same sea that swept
him away. Both managed to get an
other hold on the bowsprit and were
quickly hauled on deck by members
of the crew.
When the Columbia lifted from the
big wave into which she had plunged
Olsen was seen almost at the STEM
clinging to the bob stay, but before
aEAktance could be given him the
sloop dipped into another great comb
er and he was not seen afterWaro.

HE He was a good swimmer, and the
fact that he did not reappear AFTER tne
Yacht had swept over him causes the
belief that he sank immedlately dAleL

Every effort was made to rescue the
sailor without avail. Mr.. Morgan gave
up the search with reluctance, ana ouI
of respect for the dead man, withdre"
from the race and headed back Tor
Newport.
To-day's race was also marred by
mishap to the Constitution. Soon after
the start she carried away the Jaws OF
her gaff and the great steel spar, swing
ing forward, buckled in the center. IN
mainsail was ripped clear across sew
eI.aI lines and rendered practically
worthless.
Reliance Was Buffetted.
The Reliance received the severest
buffeting she had since being launched.
The sea was terrific one for racing
yachtsA and when the yacht reached
her mornings it was noticed that she
had a big dent in the bronze plating
close to the water-line on the port
bow. When Mr.. Iselin was asked
what caused the dent. he replied that
the waves had hammered the metal
in as the craft beat to windward.
There will be no more racing lot the
three big sloops until they start on
the New York Yacht Clubs cruise.
Had there been no accidents the
record for a thirty-nnile triangular
course would have been cut down con-
siderably. AS it was the Reliance came

ten-rnile leg ever sailed. The Rehance

Three Deaths Directly Attributable

New York, July "A terrific storm
here to-day followed a period of in
tense heat There were four deaths
from the heat to-day. and a score or
more of prostrations.
Already three deaths. directly trace
able to the storm, have been report
ed, and many persons caught in the
fury of the wind were injured. At one
time the gale blew at the rate of u
miles an hour in the upper part of
New York, according to the Weather
Bureau. Many places were struck by
lightning, which played continuously
for an hour or more.
A great section of Manhattan Field
fence was blown down and there was
almost a panic among the thousand
men and women who had gathered at
the Polo grounds, adjoining, to wit
ness the New York-St Louis baseball
game. The Polo grounds were flooded
with a foot of water. the game was
off and the attention of the officials
and police was directed to getting the
half panic-stricken baseball enthusi-
asts to a place Of safety.
There were in reality two storms,
but they blended into one. The Bronx
was the first to feel its effects. and
the lower portion of that borough sur
fered most. A wind of extremely high
velocity swept to the east, uprooting
trees smashing plate glass windows,
blowing pedestrians from their foot
ing and doing all kinds of damage.
Apparently the storm was in two
divisions. one advancing down the val
ley of the Hudson river and the other
approaching from Long Island Sound,
which was torn into a fury by the
force of the wind. These two divisions
met over the lower Bronx. with daz-
cling displays of electricity.
The first wind-storm was followed
by a heavy fall of rain, like a cloud
burst in character. and shower of
large hailstones.
Fannie Kinsler, a 6-year-old child,
frightened by the storm and blinded
by the rain, ran directly under a swift
ly moving wagon and was killed in
stantly.
John. Dominick, a dock laborer, was
knocked into the East river by plank
which had been picked up by the wind,
and was drowned.

Calamity BefalIs the Southwestern
Section of the state.
San Antonio. Tex. July "A cloud
burst to-day visited the southwestern
section of Texas.
The heaviest damage was sustained
by the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
Railroad. Several thousand feet of it's
track and one large bridge were swept
away. Train service has been suspend
ed in the affected district.
The flood, which was the result of
tremendous rains that have been falling
continuously in Southwestern Texas
since Tuesday last, swept down Medic
creek valley, submerging land and rail-
way tracks to depth Of six feet. The
towns of Normanna and Pettus were
completely inundated. Many thou
sand acres of corn and cotton land were
swept by the torrent, and it is reported
that the crops will be total loss.
Early reports of great loss Of life at
Beeville are known to be untrue, care
full inquiry showing that not more than
one fatality occurred. A portion of the
town was submerged by the rapid oy-
erflow of Poesta creek and number
of houses, mainly small Mexican JAG
ais, were washed away. The property
damage in Beeville is placed at $5O,OOO.
