TROUBLE BETWEEN WIVES OF
GEORGIA GOVERNORS.

OmcfaI Residence to Successor
Until She Has To-Nervy Ohio
Boy Aeronaut.

Joseph NJ. Terrell the other day trans
fe-red the Office of Governor of Georgia
TO Hoke Smith without a hitch. Out
wardly all was harmony at the State
capitol, where Mr.. Smith was inaugural
ed, but there was no harmony at the
executive mansion on Peachtree street,
where Mrs. Terrell, wife of the retiring
Governor, and Mrs. Smith, wife of the
new executive, came in contact. Mrs.
Smith had planned a reception immedi-
ately after the Inauguration 10 friends
of her husband, who had come from all
over Georgia for the ceremony, and she
wanted to get into the mansion early in
the morning to arrange for the function.
She notified Mrs. Terrell of her wishes,
but Mrs. Terrell sent word the mansion
would be turned over TO Mrs. Smith at
Il O'Clock and not minute earlier. Bar
red from entering until noon, Mrs. Smith
issued orders to caterers, and at IL o'clock
a long line of them proceeded to the ex-
ecutive mansion, where they stationed
themselves on the sidewalk waiting for
noon When the clock struck II Mrs.
Terrell turned over the keys and the ca
terers filed in and arranged the refresh
ments for the gubernatorial reception.
The feeling between Mrs. Terrell and
Mrs. Smith dates back to William j.
Bryan's last visit to Atlanta.

Six hundred rioters were shot and

fiicts between mobs and government
troops in three northern towns of
Portugal. The dissatisfaction is spread

Oporto advise the War Department of
the mutiny of six battalions of ar

over the nation, and strenuous efforts
are being made by the authorities to
quell the uprising against King Carlos.

the mob entirely, however. Persons in

of the count. He added that it must be
taken for granted that the ballots had
been preserved until shown otherwise. The

a CRY FOB HELP.
Thousands OF Men Needed In Rapid
Iy Growing Northwest.

Once more a cry for help is going I'D
from the West. Twenty thousand men
are needed by the lumber mills oper-
ating in eastern Washington and Ore
gon and northern Idaho. and as many
more are wanted by the Northern Pa
cific and other railroad companies.
building lines in part of the Northwest
The situation has become so acute
that unless men can be secured at once
much construction work will be delay
ed and many of the mills will be forced
to close, sending their laborers into
the woods. H. n. Kennedy, general
agent of the Northern Pacific Railway
Company, has a dozen representatives
scouting for men, but, he says. they
are not securing more than half of the
number required. The Western Pine
Shippers Association will send several
agents across the continent as far as
Maine to engage men.
W. c. Ulford, president of the asso-
citation. gave out this statement at the
quarterly meeting few days ago:
1T will require 10000 men to keep
10000 men at work, and we will give
steady employment at good wages to
every man we can find. We want skill
ed labor and men Of capability and sta
bility. who will not quit their jobs

than is offered in any other part of the
United States and Canada for similar
work. The men in the woods receive
from $40 to S75 n month and board,
while in the mills the scale ranges from
$3.50 to so day.
Probably the best answer to the
question of the shortage of men is too
much prosperity We cannot get men
for railroad work for the reason they
are offered higher wages in other
branches of labor. This is felt also
in the clerical department, where ev-.

these marched as a united army upon
Pekin, restoring peace.

There had been no signs of an outbreak

Shortly after daybreak a crowd col

except the sudden reports of the exploding

SALOON NOT oUTLAwED.
Decision of Judge Christian Reversed
ky sunreme Justices


The Supreme Court of Indiana has re-
versed the decision in the ''Sopher case"
in which Judge Ira Christian of Mobiles
vile held that all the liquor laws of In
diana were unconstitutional and that
saloon was nuisance per Sc. Judge Jor-
dan said, in deciding the case, that the,
position of the State was wholly indefen-
sible. He went back to the common law
and showed that as eafly as 1888 the
English parliament hal undertaken to IL
cense and control the liquor traffic. Com
ing down to Indiana he showed that as
early as 1907 territorial law was passed
for the licensing of taverns and dram
shops, and that this practice was contin-
ued under the first State constitution ana
also under the second. while the over
throw of the statute of 1875" the decis-
ion continues, "and the laws supplemental
thereto. such as the Nicholson law, the
Moore law, ETC., on the peculiar and I'M
tenable doctrine advanced by counsel for
the State would no doubt be very crafty
ing to the latter and to those who con-
cur in their peculiar views, nevertheless,
it is manifest that such a result would
not conduce to the interest or furtherance
of the cause of temperance, for, as affirm
ed In Haggart VS.. Stehlin, it would oper-
ate to restore all persons to their unre-
stricted rights under the common law to
retail intoxicating liquors and all who
desire to engage in the traffic could do so
without regard to their fitness, or in
other words, absolutely unrestricted.
While all citizens of this State have a
perfect right to cry out or declare upon
the hastings or before the Legislature or
other assembled bodies that the liquor
traffic cannot be legalized without commit
ting sin, and, while their arguments
might be sufficiently potent to persuade or
induce the Legislature absolutely to pro-
hibit the traffic, they could be of no avail

GREAT WATER DUEL.
Cornell Defeats Columbia oarsmen

COrneH Defeats COiumb fa Oarsmen
After Desperate Struggle.
In probably the greatest rowing race
ever seen in this country Cornell Uni
veEsity won the big intercollegiate
aquatic event over the Poughkeepsie
course on the Hudson River recently.
Columbia University made desperate
fight for the honor and was beaten
only by three feet. The two. crews
rowed side by side for four long, hard
miles and the men in both boats were
thoroughly exhausted at TIE finish.
Columbia's grand showing was a big
surprise, as it was figured that the
struggle lay between Cornell and the
Annapolis crew. The navy could do no
better than third. Pennsylvania was
fourth, Wisconsin fifth and Georgetown
sixth. Syracuse did not finish, her
shell being swamped in big swell

at the head of the course until the
winning Ithacans dropped their sweeps
and fell back, half senseless, in their
victory, not twenty-five feet separated
