Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1904-11-05
imam Satisfactory Explanation

The Enterprise is entirely JUS
titled in its assump tion that AT
torney Ryman can explain salts
factorily his attitude as attorney
for the stockholders Ca vast ma
1ority of the stockholders repre-
sented) and at the same time
press claims against them which
the statute of limitations had null
lifted"
In the first place Attorney Ry-
man DID NOT PRESS ANY CLAIMS
AGAINST THE STOCKHOLDERS, or
ever hold any such claims. He
DID PRESS, and successfully too,
CLAIMS AGAINST THE COLONY COM
PANY, EVERY CLAIM BEING ADMIT
TED BY EVERYBODY TO BE HONEST
AND JUST. The attorney has a
habit of ha 1dling that kind of
claims. The ASSUMPTION OF THE
ENTERPRISE THAT THE CLAIMS
WERE BARRED BY THE STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS rs NOT FOUNDED IN
FACT, and the attorney whose
legal lore he so highly prizes did
not consider the claim as barred.
Moreover, the court decided, as
did the auditor, that MORE THAN
HALF OF THE Kicker CLAIM WAS
LAWFUL AND NOT BARRED, and
Judge Roberts would have de-
clded, had not all parties agreed
thereto and saved the necessity
of an opinion by the court, that

interest thereon, OR ABOUT IS PER
CENT OF THE OTHER HALF OF
KICKER S CLAIM, WAS NOT BARRED,
the court agreeing entirely with
Attorney Ryman's contention
that the signing of the order Of
intervention, which was in mple
time, started the suit and stop
ped the statute from running.
THIS LEFT ABOUT 81, 200 OF THE
CLAIM DEPENDENT UPON THE CON
SENT ORDERS" or an appeal to
supreme court. 1900, divided
among the $500 shareholders of
the defendant company, would
have given each shade less than
one and four-tenths CT a cent
apiece, or if divided among the
shareholders who appeared and
presented their claims, would
have given each shareholder two
and one-half cents, which, as all
people know, represents the
difference between penury and
sf1uence.
It may be pertinent right here
to add that another reason why
Attorney Ryman is sure he can
nssifS his course is that THE En-
lKPEIsE is CERTAIN THAT ATToR-
JAYS CONDUCT IN DOING Ex-
y THE SAME THING WAS RIGHT.

The use of Attorney jays
name is not because he is any
better or any worse than any
other reputable attorney, but
because it affords a com mon
standard upon which the Enter
terptisc and Citizen can agree,
and then judge the actions of
others by comparing them with

SIGNIFICANT SPEECHES.
Japanese Warned TO BE Prepared
for Intervention.


Tokyo, April 25.-Two significant
speeches were made at meeting of the
councillors of the progressive party.
Count Okuma, former premier,
warned the people of Japan to be pre-
pared for intervention during the war
by some European power, and also for
a great increase in the national expend-
iture when the war was over. He said
that after the war it wonld be neces-
sary to float loan of at least $3.50,
900, 900.
Masama Oishi, a progressive leader,
expressed the belief that Germany
would take the iniatitive in interven-
ing. He declared that no power would
welcome the preponderance of Japan
in the Far East, and that many of the
powers were prepared to resosrt to any
and all means to curb the extension of
Japanese influence.
M. Oishi crit icsed the foreign pol
icy of Japan, saying the White Book
showed clearly that the great conces-
sions offered by Japan to Russia would
have been national calamity had
Russia chosen to accept the lenient
terms offered.

DISCUSSION IN SENATE AS TO
USEFULNESS.
for Big Sea Fighters
May BE Proved by the Russo
Japanese War to Be So Much
Money Thrown Away--Mr. Hale's
Remarks.

Washington, April 27.-Whether the
president shall order the construction
of the battleship provided for in the
naval appropriation bill or wait until
the war in the far East demonstrates
the comparative utility of the big sea
fighter and the torpedo boat or subma-
rine craft was question raised In the
senate 10y Mr.. Hale, of Maine, on the
adoptionof the conference report. 1t
was developed that the language OF the
bill was permissive, and the president
and secretary of the navy could delay
action if they deem it advisable.
Mr.. Hale declared that if he were
secretary of the navy, he would not
dare to go on now and commit the gov
eminent to the building of an immense
battleship, for it would not surprise
him if events of the Russian Japanese
war demonstrated that the $3.50, 00O,-
900 paid for big battleships was bad
investment for this government. Sew
eral other senators counseled delay.
1.-THE lessons of the war between
Japan and Russia thus far" said Mr..
hale, 10 10 SLOW Uuc NulucldDiii1y
and the unsafety of these immense and
lofty ballttleships and the undesira-
bility at present of committing our
selves to the further construction Of
them. The great and salient evils of
war show how incomplete as an engine
of war is one of these enormous high
turreted battleships. If she is struck
below the water line and the center Of
gravity is disturbed, she turns over
like a turtle, and every body on board
is drowned.
"If an explosion takes place through
hurried firing in the turret, it is more
than likely to ignite the magazine, and
the whole ship is blown into the air
and everybody ON board is killed.
Aside from the disasters in the East,
where the large Russian warships have
been disabled and put out of business,
we have had three explosions on our
own battleships within a year"
MIR. Stewart expressed the opinion
THAT the battleship will soon be a
thing of the past, and that submarine
craft will take their place.
Continuing, Mr.. Hale said he thought
congress should legislate on the char
acter of battleships for the navy, and
not leave it to the department.
The conference report was agreed to.

REMOVED THE LIMIT.
Secretary COrteIyOn Gives Relief to
Alaska Cannerymen.

Alaska Cannerymen.
Washington, April 25.-The secreta-
ry of commerce and labor has signed
an order resembling the regulation linn
iting the duration of the salmon fishing
season in Southeastern Alaska. This
order means that instead of being pro
hibited from taking salmon until July
of each year, cannerymen will be al.
lowed to start operations as soon as the
fish begin to run.
The new order was recommended by
the mem bers of the Jordan committee
who visited Alaska last summer, but
many of the cannerymen had about
given up hope that the recommends
ton would be acted upon this year.
Secretary Cortelyou withheld the order
pending action by congress on the pro-
posed comprehensive legislation for the
salmon fisheries. 1t became evident
sosme days ago, however, that none of
the desired legislation would be enact
ed at this session, and Mr.. Cortelyou
decided to do what he could under the
present laws to relieve the situation.

Irregularities.

Albert NJ. Anderson Is Accused of
Irregularities.
Washington, April 26.-President
Roosevelt has ordered the dismissal of
Albert NJ. Anderson, Indian agent at
Colville, Wash, because of gross irreg-
ularities discovered at the agency by
Indian Inspector Nesler and Special
agent McNichols has taken charge of
the agency until the successor to An.
derson is appointed.
Repeated charges have been brought
against Anderson during the past six
months, it being originally stated that
he, when clerk at the Colville agency
for several years, had knowledge Of
alleged improper dealings which We're
charged TO have been conducted by the
then agent, Hal j. Cole. Latterly,
however, it was charged that Anderson
allowed serious irregularities to creep
into his accounts, and investigation
showed evidence of gross mismanage-
ment. On recommendation of Score
tary Hitchcock Anderson has now been
dismissed.

JOHN ID. FEELS INJURED.

One of His Men Writes Book In Re-

Philadelphia, April 25.-The gen.

ments made by the we'll known his.
torical writer, Ida NJ. Tarbell, whose
history of the Standard Oil Company

McClure's magazine. Miss Tarbell's
history showed mp the oil magnate in
rather startling light. and now, in
order to present himself to the world
in the proper light, he is sending cop
les of the book written by his attorney
to every minister in the country.

BIG FRUIT CROP.
That Is the Present Promise of Con-
ditiOns in Washington.

That Is the Present Promise Of Con-
ditiOns in Washington.
Tacoma, April 27.-State Horticul-
turist Van Holderbeke has left Tacoma
for an extensive trip through the fruit
districts east of the mountains. Re-
ports that are reaching the Office indi-
cate that unless untoward and now un-
forseen conditions arise the coming
fruit crop will probably be the largest
yet grown in the state. The trees
passed the wilmer well.
Cherry trees and other early bearers
are in prolific bloom, with no prospects
of a late frost blighting the buds.
Fungi, fruit pests and the various
blights have been so sternly dealt with
by growers with their spraying and
other correctives that little damage is
expected from them. Small fruits are
showing signs of an unusually large
harvest.
The berries of different varieties
along the sound and up the river val
leys tributary to the sound share the
general promise. The prune growers
of Clarke county are expecting very
large crop, and the present signs war
rant their anticipations On account
of the cleaning out of the San Jose
scale in the irrigated districts and the
drastic measures taken with the cod
lin moth, apple growers are joyous and
confident of full crop in these parts.
In the southeastern part oft he state
signs are favorable for an abundant
grape crop. This is especially true in
Asotin county, where grapes are most
easily cultivated.
Mr.. Van Holderbeke mentions with
pleasure movement on the part of
orchardists and farmers to commence
the culture of English walnuts. These
nuts have high commercial value, he
says, and in addition the climate and
conditions of soils and the topography
of the state appear to offer desirable
conditions for the perfect growth of
the tree.
