able to attend. The committee, how
ever, decided to go ahead with the in
vestigation, and Charles 7. Forbes a
clerk in the general land office, was
called as witness. He testified
against Judge Swayne regarding tim
Der trespass case in Florida, in which
he alleged that Judge Swayne had ex-
acted the fine second time from the
trespassers.
j. N. c. Stockton of Quincy, Fla,
testified that j. N. Stripping told him
that he (Stockton) could get anything
in the way of receiverships If he would
stop the prosecution against Judge
Swayne This occurred ten years ago.

fed in regard to an attempt to settle
the Hoskins contempt case, which was
pending before Judge Swayne for $500.

private car to Delaware and brought
Judge Swayne and his family to st.
Augustine, Fla, the whole party trav-
cling on passes, the Florida Railroad
at that time being in the hands Of a
receiver.
Judge Swayne was present at the in
vestigation and frequently consulted
his attorney. former Senator Higgins
of Delaware.
After hearing c. II. B. Floyd, whose
testimony threw no new light on the

LOOKING FOR DOVE.

Police Want Some One in n
Checked Suit and Red NecI<tie.
Chicago, Nov 21.-Search for the
murderer of John w. Bate, Jr., the
young chauffeur who was found dead
in an automobile near Lemont, was
continued to-day.
The fact that the mysterious "Mr.
Dove" who ordered the machine from
the auditorium hotel has not appear
ed to aid in solving the problem, caus-
ed the police to believe that beyond
doubt a passenger with a checked suit
and red necktie is the man they are
seeking.
Among letters found in the dead
chauffeurs pocket is said to be one in
woman's handwriting which contains
the words: when l love, love: and
when l hate. I hate"
The theory is advanced that the
supposed Dove" may not have been
man. but was a woman in disguise.
Edward Slavin, telephone operator in
the auditorium hotel, who arranged for
the renting of the machine for Dove"
bears this out in slight degree. Sla-
win says that Dove" wa< dressed in
clothing that seemed to be either too
large or that Dove" did not know
how to dress himself properly.

House of Correction who has operated

WILL CUT DOWN
NUMBER OF MEN
THE MILITARY COMPANIES
MUST BE CONTENT WITH 30 TO so
MEMBERS.

Important Order for the Military OF
the State Issued by Adjutant GEM
eral-ReasOns That Inspired Him.
Order Is Expected TO Help Some
of the City Communicate Applies
to All Branches of the Service.
Atlanta, Nov. 21.-Adjt. Gen. s. w.
Harris issued an important order to-
day, hereafter limiting the number OF
men in any military company in the
state to a maximum of fifty and a
minimum of thirty-five.
This policy has been adopted for sew
eral reasons, chiefly on account of the
trouble the state has had in supplying
equipment and in order, also. to pre-
serve more regularity in the makeup
of the companies. Companies now hav-
ing more than fifty men need not get
rid of their surplus at once. but can
not enlist new men until their enlist
ment falls below the maximum of
fifty.
1t is said as a result of this order
companies in the cities having less
than fifty men will be able to recruit
their ranks from those dropping out of
the larger companies.
This order applies to all branches of
the service, infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery, and to white and colored COM
panies.

Cincinnati, Nov. 21.--Coroner Weaver
to-day began an inquest in the case
of C. A. Parker. vice president of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and
Pere Marquette Railroad, who fell
dead in his office here on Wednesday
last. No autopsy was held at the

tificate gave no cause of death, mere
ly saying: Inquest pending"
DIR. S. B. Grimes was the first wit
ness examined. He said he was called
while Mr.. Parker was dying. He
smelled a pungent odor as of peach
leaves. There were no commissions. The
pupils of the dying mans eyes were
dilated.
The witness asked what Mr.. Parker
had taken. He heard a voice say,
Don't say anything" and thought it
was a woman's voice. There were sew
eral persons present.
Miss Rose Hagerman, stenographer
for Mr.. Parker, testified that she saw
nothing unusual about him that day.
He had just returned from Chicago
and had dictated some correspondence
to her. He gave no appearance of mo-
roseness She was the only woman
present and had no recollection of
hearing DIR. Grimes ask what he had
taken nor of saying Don't say any

JAPANESE PREPARING TO
DEFEND PORT ARTHUR.

Che Foo, Nov. 81, p. ma Japa-
nese official, among the latest arrivals
from Dalny, states positively that the
general attack upon Port Arthur has
not been resumed. Rumors to that
effect in Dalny have arisen because
fresh troops, including the seventh
division, recently landed, are being
sent to the front.
1t is believed that the explosion on
Nov. 16 occurred in some counter
tunneling work. The second explosion
which was heard on Nov. 10 was
much heavier and it is reported upon
the best authority was due to the
blowing up Of a Russian magazine.
1t is expected that the next attack
upon Port Arthur will be a tremen-
dous affair. More reinforcements are
coming to the support of Gen. Nogi
than those dispatched to Field Mar
shall Ovama.
The Japanese are now constructing
coast defense forts at Pigeon Bay
which is accepted as an indication
that they expect to be defending
Port Arthur themselves some day.

CENTRAL WILL FIGHT
PAYMENT OF TAXES
What Capt. Cunningham Says About

what Capt. Cunningham Says About
the w. of Ala. stock.
Atlanta, Nov. 21.-Capt. H. C. Cum
ningham of counsel for the Central,
Railway, who was here to-day, stated
that the Central would contest to the
last the payment of taxes on its $1,5OO-
900 of the capital stock of the West
ern of Alabama Railway. There is
now a suit pending on the subject.
The Central's stock is on different foot
ing from that of the Georgia Railroad,
he said, and il is contended the title
to it is in New York, where 1t is pledg-
ed as security for bond issue.
Capt. Cunningham thinks the stock
is hardly worth more than sixty, and II
this is the case the states income
will hardly be as large from this
source as was expected.
Controller General Wright's dis
covery of the stock was due to a study
he was making of the Georgia Rail-
road reports in Poor's Manual In 1900.
Up to that time the stock had not been
returned. and nothing was known as
to its existence.

SAYS THE CHRISTIANS
CAUSE THE TROUBLE.
Recurring Conflicts Between Rival
NationaIitics.


London, Nov. 22.--The Standard to-
day prints a long letter from Con-
stantinople dealing with the sltua-
ton in Macedonia.
The writer says there has been a
marked change in the last six months.
Formerly it was a question Of protect
ing the Christian population against
violence. but now it has become one
of Intervention between various Chris
tian elements. Since the policing of
Macedonia has been taken out of
Turkeys hands, the correspondent
says, there have been recurring con-
fiicts between rival nationalities, Bull
garians, Serbs and Greeks, accompa-
MED by barbarities quite as bad as
those with which the Turks were for
merly reproached.
The truth is, according to the
Standards correspondent. each Of the
Christian elements wants independ-
ence. and their hatred OF each other
exceeds their detestation of the Turks.
The Austro- Russian reform scheme,
therefore, has not fastened the solu-
ton of the Macedonian problem or
brought autonomy any nearer.

termined to Defeat Depew at Any
cost-This Fact Opens the Way for
Compromise Candidate to Carry
on the Prize-RoOt's Ambitions
Tor the senate Are Well Known.
By r. NJ. Larner.
washington, d. c., Nov. 21.-Some
- the New York Republican leaders,
,,bo have been in Washington recent
" are talking of former Secretary Root
&C a compromise between Senator De-
nov and Former Governor Frank Black
for the New York senatorship. 1t is
the intention of some of these gentle
mon to create the impression that the
election of Mr.. Root would meet the
hearty approval of the President.
Thus far the President has remain
ed neutral in the senatorial contest,
bacause of the many complications in
voved in that fight. His personal
choice is probably his valuable friend
and former cabinet advisor, Mr.. Root.
The recent visit of Mr.. Root to Wash
,ngton and his frequent visits to the
White House have been seized upon
nv the New York politicians here as
an indication that the President will
eventually take a decided position in
behalf of Mr.. Root. 1t is known that
the latter would for more reasons than
one rejoice to come to the Senate.
It would not interfere with his law
practice and it would give him an op-
portunity to meet in that forum some
of the men who so persistently an
tagonized his administration of the
War Department, when The was a
member of the cabinet.
To Defeat Depew Anyhow.
A well-known New York Republican,
who called upon the President recently,
is authority for the statement that the
Odell faction in the Empire State is de-
termined to defeat Senator Depew at
any cost.
THE present indications are said
he that Senator Depew will have a
hard time securing a reelection. The
Odell organization is dead set against
him, while Senator Platt is standing
loyalty by his colleague. There is a
large Independent element that does
not take kindly to the idea of sending
Frank Black to the Senate, but at the
same time they are somewhat indiffer-
ent about Depew 1t is that condition
of affairs that makes it possible for a
compromise candidate to come in and
carry off the prize. 1t would not re-
quire much urging to induce Root to
come to the Senate, and L would not be
surprised to see him brought forward
as a solution of the problem"
