Assistant State Geologist S. w. Nc

o,so in charge of the underground wa

Safes government, sees grave danger
IN the use TO which Quitman proposes

sr,Asian we'll which supplies Quitman
with drinking and which is cased to
denth of 32O feet may not be contami-
mated. but the stream is liable to con-
animate the springs In that section
and the artesian wells at ValdOsta and
Boston.
Mr.. McCallie will visit Quitman to
look into the situation. He has held
some correspondence with Mayor Ben
neil of Ouitman, and from the tone of
the MAYORS letter it is likely there
will be no trouble in inducing Quitman
to abandon the proposed.scheme. The
impurities in the underground stream
would be away from sunlight and air
and would cause sickness years after

LEGISLATURE MEETS TODAY
THE SESSION WILL BE A VERY IMPORT. =,
ANT ONE TO THE STATE.
Many Measures of Public Interest to Be
Considered. First Summer Ses-
sion in Several Years.

The Georgia legislature will De in
session today. The general assembly
meets on Wednesday, June 24.I
Although an effort will be made to
cut the number of the days of the ses->
sion to thirty the chances are that the
whole fifty days will be spent in At
lanta by the members and that there
will be no adjournment until some.
time in August.
A according to the calendar of untin-
ished business prepared by Hon. John
t. Bofeuillet, clerk of the house, there
is enough work for the house for sey-
eral weeks without the introduction Of
any new matter, bat from the present
outlook there will be a flood of new
bills to be introduced during the first
week of the session.
The session which begins today Will
be the first one that has been held in
the summer in many years. During
the winter many of the south Georgia
members suffered considerably from
the grip and colds, and this fact had a
great deal to do with the passage of a
summer session bill.
One of the most important, if not the
most important, questions to be dispos--
ed of at the coming session is that OF
leasing the convicts. The lease ex~
pires on April l, 1904, and the new
methods of working the prisoners
must be provided by the present ses>

There is a great difference of opin>

method of handling the convicts.
Some want them on the public roads,

DOESN'T WANT ANYTHING.
Commissioner Stevens Will ASK
No FavorS of Legislature.

No recommendations will be made
by Commissioner of Agriculture O. B.
Stevens IN his report to the legislature
this week. This fact is regarded as
rather remarkable by the state house
officers, as ali OF them, with the excep-
ton of Commissioner Stevens, will
have at least one or two suggestions to
make TO the solOns.
Mr.. Stevens has everything he
wants, he says; he needs no appropria-
tion for his department; be needs no
new laws under which to work, and
besides he says he couldn't get any
thing if be wanted it, and as a result
he is ''entirely satisfied with life"

the legislature paid no attention to my
recommendations or suggestions, and
finding that it was waste of time [
decided not to make any more.

everything is running smooth, and

The inspection of cotton shall be in
charge of an inspector-in-chief, who
shall be represented by deputy in
spectors in charge of the districts.
1t is proposed to begin with five dis
tricts, as follows: One for Norfolk and
Wilmington; one for Charleston, Sa-
vannah and Augusta; one for Mobile
and New Orleans; one for Galveston
and Houston, and one for Memphis and
cities.
Cotton will be sampled at New York,
the samples being drawn from the
bales and shipped to New York for
inspection and classification. To Sc
cure cordial feeling and harmonious
working with the southern exchanges
it is proposed to add a representative
on the classification committee OF the
New York exchange, from each of
the towns chosen and one from any
others where the classification
amounts to lOO,O bales a year. The
representative is to be chosen by the
local exchange in the south, but sub
ject to approval or rejection by the
New York board of managers.

Effort to Discover the True Financial Condition of the Zion City In- dustries-Neither is Pay
 ing Expenses.

Chicago. Dec. 3.-John Alexander Dowie will be put on the witness stand before Bankruptcy Referee Sidney C. Eastman and under oath will be required to answer all questions regarding the financial af- fairs of Zion City.
 While the date for the hearing has not yet been set. Judge Kohlsaat this after noon entered the order which requires the overseer of the Christian Catholic Church to submit to an examination. This &C., ton was taken on motion by Attorney Samuel Ettelson, who filed the original petition in bankruptcy.
 This application was not made for the purpose of harassins Dowie.' said Mir. Ettelson. ''The receivers are now mak- Ing an Investigation of Dowie's affairs and they will undoubtedly need his testi- mony to get a correct knowledge of his financial condition"
 Receivers Blunt and Currier spent most Of the day at Zion City. looking into all accounts which they could find, SO that they might prepare the report which Judge Kohlsaat has asked for concerning me advisabtlity in the nierest of creditors Of continuing the operation of all indus- tries belong ing to Dowie. The receIv- CTS. 1t was said tonight. have found only | about $2,00o in both of Dowie's banks. It Is not likely that any of the industries will be closed down. as in such an event thousands of persons in Zion City would thus be deprived of a means of livelihood. This is said to be one of the main reasons why Dowie will be retained as manager of the business under the direction of the receivers. The receivers realize Dowie's s strong hold on his followers and wish to prevent any turn in events which might turn Zion City into a deserted village.
 That Zion City's two chief industries the lace works and candy factory--are not paying expenses was officially disclosed today. After questioning closely the managers of both concerns. Chief Gus todian RedieslSie said:
 'If Dowte relies on the industries of Zion City to pay his indebtedness. the town will still be in the hands of re- ceivers year from now. Neither the lace works nor the candy factory is on a paying basis. In the case of the lace works. understand that lack of raw material is to blame. No one seems to know what is the matter with the candy factory,
 Redieskie Is now sceptical about the ability of Dowie to vacats the receiver ship.
 "Dowie may have a million or two up his sleeve for all I know" he said. but have been unable to see any SSldence of financial strength in Zion City"

Strong Faith in Impending
 Calamity.
 New York Special to New Orleans Times'
 Democrat.
 A specia. cable to The World from Ber- lin says: ''The entire German m ion fael, the greatest alarm for the fety of the Kaiser. What has really aroused the deepest concern in Emperor W Hams subjects is the report of the arpearan @ of the White Lady of the Hohen ole ms in the palace at Pottsdann. The tradition of the White Lady of the Ho aenzollerns is looked upon by even the skeptical Ger man savants as the foreshadowng ha of death stretched out for some member of that ancient race of Kings.
 The facts concerning the appearance of the White Lady a few weeks ago are brief, but they are be ieved far and wide throughout the empire. It was seen by a servant of the royal household and a sen- try on guard at the door of the main gall iery of the palace. This serv antf while passing through c large banquet hall that has not been used in recent yeas beh Id spectacle that eransfixed- him. Far above the floor and apparently walking n air, fioated the figure of the famous White Lady. As soon as he cou ecover himself the servant crept to the door and summoned the sentry. Then the two men. gaping and terror-str.cken, watched the shadow form nit about above the gall lery and then slowly fade away.
 The last appearance of the White Lady was 1889. just prior to the death of Prince Waldemar. Upon that occasion a soldier on guard at Lne old castle was the only witness of the ethereal form. At the time Prince Waldemar was in robust health. Three weeks later he died.
 The White Lady is said to have ap- peared as long ago as December. 1928 when it is re orded she spoke these words in Latin: "r walt for judgment" Then Princess of the royal houEs, who was then in seemingly perfect health, died two weeks later.

 St. Louis, Dec s.---James L. Blair. the attorney, has been indicted by the Grand Jury on the charge of forgery in the first degree.
 Mir. Blair was formerly general counsel for the Worlds Fair Association. The indictment Is the result of charges filed by James T. Roberts. an attorney. at one time employed fin Blair's law office. Roberts secured certain papers and rec ords on which he afterwards based his charges that Blair was juggling the finances of large estates committed to his trust That was more than three years ago.
 The story, however did not become public until the present Grand Jury be. gan an investigation. Roberts publicly charged among other things that Blair had forged deeds of trust and mortgages on which &6S 900 was obtained from the estate of the late Peter B. Blow of St. Louis, and that he counterfeited and used the notarial seals of the recorder of deeds of St. Louis and frequently em- ployed Walter Jenkips,' a purely ficti- tious parsonage. to attest the documents.
 Blair acted as 6 sort of fiscal and in- vestment agent for the firm of Dick Brothers of Philadelphia and New York Of Wnlcn evans R. LICK, reIauVe, IS the head. In the Blow estate he was CO., trustee with Ed . lrd S. Robert. The Grand Jury requested the Dicks. their attorney. General B. Graham. and oth- CTS to come to St. Louis to testify but the communications were ignored.
 Owing to his reported serious illness, Blair was removed from his home to a hospital one month ago. Varying re- ports of his condition have been given from time to time to the public, but he is now reported to have almost fully re- covered.
 A bench warrant will be issued for BlaiTs arrest. and he will be required to givs bond. The maximum penalty for the O1fense with which Blair Is charged Is life Imprisonment. the minimum ten years in the penitentiarY,

A Fruitless Agitation.

N. O. T1mes-DemoCrat.
 The political agents of kha Republic of Colombia, now in the Emitted States, arc agitating by every means in their power in order to create sentiment against the secession of Panama.
 Never was there a more useless move. Panama has not only declared her inde- pendence, but has engaged with tie United States in a treaty in which the great Republic guarantees protection and independence for the newborn nation ality. The act has been accomplished, q, the faith of the United States has been pledged to Panama, and 1t is idle to talk of undoing the transaction.
 Whatever may have been the wrongs perpetrated in procuring the secession of this Colombian province. there Is nothing left now but to stand to what has been done. The greatest nation on the obe cannot afford to make itself ridiculous. nor can it with any sort of justice throw oT Panama after having 'ndrced her to States. having done one wrong ih bring any sort of decency perpetrate anotneF bv b~eaIxing with Panama. Thereto c no'hing remains but to carry nut the un- dertaking to a successful conclusion, no matter what may be the conseqnence.
 Any talk of bringing the matter before The Hague Tribunal Is absurd That court Is simply vested with power to try cases submitted to 1t by both parties to controversy It cannot summon nations before it and trv them for their acts. Talk of The Hague Tribunal in the prenn- ises Is silly.
