MUCH ENTHUSIASM
FOR BOARD OF TRADE
Vigorous Campaign Planned
Last Night.

The reorganization of the Americus
Board of Trade is well under way.
Everythin points to the complete sue
cess of that body along the new lines
that have been laid down for it. A
spirit of greater enthusiasm exists
than ever before in its history
and with a continuance of the effect
i've work of the past week it is prob
able that the Board will soon be in
its own home, surrounded with eX-
hibits of the manufactures and agri-
culture of Americus and Sumter cOun-
ty, with d permanent secretary, and
an abundance of literature that will
well advertise city and county.
At last nights meeting further
steps were taken to put the Board in
position to do vigorous and effective
work.
The committee on legislation, COM
posed of Messrs w A Dodson, z. P.
Childers, and w P Wallis, was di-
rected to prepare amendments to the
bylaws, to be presented at the next
regular meeting of the Board, cover
ing the proposed changes in the sys-
tenn under which the organization is
to work, and to perfect it's methods
and render them as effective as pos
sible
President Allen was directed to
appoint a committee of five, including
the president and secretary of the
Board, to secure permanent head
quarters for the Board. The rooms
to be obtained are to be located prom
inently in the business section and be
adequate in size to hold exhibits and
answer for meeting purposes.
The committee on manufactures
composed of Messrs John w. Shiver
George Mcneil and c. P. Davis, was
directed to proceed with a canvass
among the manufacturers of the city
to secure exhibits of their products
for display at the headquarters of the
Board. President Allen was also
authorized to appoint a committee OF
three to secure exhibits for the same
purpose from the farmers Of Sumter
county, illustrative of the products OF
the soil in this section.
The president was also authorized
to revise the committees of the Board
to meet the new conditions and take
advantage of the increased member
ship of the organization.
The announcement was made that
the total enrolled membership is now
150, and that the dues from all will
aggregate 1000 year. If this can
be doubled, as there appears to be nc
doubt, AmeriCuS will at last have q
business organization that can ac-
complish much for its upbuilding.

Will be Known as Steven.
sons Studio.

Langford's Studio on yesterday was
bought by Mr.. D. T. Stevenson, who
has been in charge of the studio
since its opening, and will in future
be known as Stevenson's Studio. Miss
Langford, the former proprietor, has
been i'll for some weeks, and her
poor health caused her to sell to her
manager.

at West Point, Ga. Immediately be-
fore coming to Americus. In the few
weeks that the studio has been open

will make no difference in the con-
duct of the studio, as Mr.. Stevenson
has been in charge all the time, any
how.

New York, Feb. 1.-The needs of the uncovered short interest which be- gan to make itself felt even before yes terday'S session was over asserted it's influence decisively in today's stock market and effected a substantial but temporary rally of prices The recoy- cry did not cover more than part of yesterdays declines. The forced de- mand was decidedly less at the higher stages and the rally seemed exhausted in the final reaction. The market be- came profoundly dull later in the day
 It was reported that thirty-five per cent of the Pennsylvania's equipment is idle. The Pennsylvania did not share the general strength of the mar ket. partially on account of the belief that the sales were made of stock against purchases Of Reading through the same firm. For Six months from July there was shown a shrinkage in the net returns of Rock Island of up- wards of 20 per cent. The holiday to- morrow was an influence toward the curtailment of activity in stocks, the brief selling movement at the end of the day made. rapid inroads on the earlier gains and left the days changes mixed.

Iwent-SK Delegates to the National Con-
 ventiOn Already Assured
Manager VOrys Gives Out Statement That the Other Twenty Will Also Be Named for the Secretary of War.

Columbus, Feb. 1.-The net result of the republican primaries held through out Ohio today was in favor of Vim. H. Taft who will have four delegates at large and twenty-three district del- egates to the national convention at Chicago. A list of delegates to the state convention to be held on March which will be unanimously in his favor was selected.
 No opposition worth mentioning de- veloped during the day. The supreme court destroyed all chances of success by the Foraker element in Cuyahoga county by declaring the Taft county committee the only valid organization of its kind in the county. The selec- tioI of delegates therefrom went by default. no ticket being placed in the field against the Taft candidates.
 In Knox county the opposition brought an independent ticket into the field, the independents, however, being all Foraker men. The Taft can dfdates won easily the vote being four to one in their favor Actual voting for delegates to the state convention was carried on in but thirtY-five out of a total of eighty-eig counties, the Taft delegates in fifty-twO counties having no opposition.
 Congressional primaries were held in the fourth, fifth. sixth, the greater part of the eighth. ninth twelfth. four teenth, sixteenth, eighteenth and twen- ty-first districts and small portions of

A COLUMBIAN LAW
 10 STOP JAPANESE
The Probabilities Though Are That it Will Not Be Able to Run the Gaunt- let.

Victoria, B. C.. Feb. 1.-The new immigration law enacted by the British Columbia legislature recently on the lines of the natal act. which applies an educational test to immigrants ar irving in British Columbia, who must be able to read and write English or a language of Europe, to be permitted to land. became a, law today, when Lieutenant Governor James Dunsmuir assented to the bill.
 Immediate provision is made for the enforcement of the new law. which is obviously aimed at the Japanese. Of ficials have been appointed and in structed to carry it into effect on all immigrants arriving after today. There are at the quarantine station 26S Jap anese left there by the steamer Kaga Maru in quarantine, 125 of whom are bound for here. These will come un- der the provisions of the new laws.
 It is understood that steps will be taken by Japanese and others inter ested to test the validity of the new bill in the courts. It is considered that following this the Canadian gov ernment will disallow the bill as op- posed to imperial interest.

RAILROADS
 AND PEOPLE
The Theme of Senator
 Knox Last Night
There is Nothing, He Said, In the Situation to Strain the Government.

Kalamazoo, Feb. 11.-Hundreds were turned away from the Academy of Mu- sic tonight unable to gain admission to the annual banquet of the Kalama- zoo Lincoln club. at which United States Senator Philander C. Knox of Pittsburg and Congressman J. Adam Bede of Minnesota were the guests of honor. United States Senator J. c. Burrows. of Michigan also spoke.
 The subject of Mir Knox's address was The People, the Railroads and National Prosperity"
 Mir. Knox comprehensively reviewed the growth of the railroad industry, and the extension of federal control over interstate commerce. In conclud- ing he said:
 There is nothing in present condi- tions requiring any strain upon our institutions to supply remedy for any mischiefs that plague the public and there are no mischiefs the correc- tiOn of which may not be attained without disturbing the public welfare There is enough federal power. if not enough federal legislation, to meet all federal emergencies. There is noth- ing affecting the external affairs of the nation or such internal ones as are committed to it's charge that con gress cannot regulate; there Is noth ing that affects them injuriously that congress should not regulate. and there is nothing which does not be- long to. the federal Jurisdiction that congress should attempt to regulate.
 Laws enacted under the public au- thority in spirit of wisdom and tol- eration. enforced impartially, prompt ly and fearlessly. repealed when found unsuited to conditions or to be op- pressive will not only mark us as a people progressing in the art of self government, but will reduce to a min imum any conflict between the people and the railroads between whom there should be the peace that will enable the one to receive and the other to rem der a service that measures the prof itable production of this vast coun- try

the seventh and nineteenth In all but the last two wherein the voting was in a too limited territory to be opposition. In the ninth, sixth and sixteenth districts the candidates for congress were nominated directly at the primaries. It was the original in tention to select delegates to the na- tiOnAl convention in the same manner but it was later decided, in order to avoid all chance of future complica- tions to name the delegates in the reg ular district conventions.
 In the eighth district the congress sional primaries were not held but in one cOunty-Hardin-o the result there cannot possibly overruIe the vote of the remainder of the district and it's tws delegates to the Chicago conven- tion are certain for Taft.
 The following statement was issued tonight by Arthur l. Vorys, manager of the Taft campaign: "Ohio is for Taft. The result of the primaries to- day completes that demonstration. Ev- cry county except one. with seven del egates has now selected delegates 10 the state convention and every county selected Taft delegates The state convention will be unanimously for Taft, for every one of the 1915 dele gates is for. and is instructed for Taft. This unanimity also demonstrates that every one of the forty-six delegates to the national convention will be for Taft

MRS. M'DONALD CLEARED
 OF MURDER OF GUERIN
The Defendant Hysterical Throughout the Trial, Was Unmoved by the Verdict.

Chicago, Feb. 1l.-Mrs. Dora Me Donald, who has been on trial since January 20, on the charge of murder ing Webster Guerin, was acquitted by a jury in the criminal court tonight. The verdict was reached after six and Ia half hours deliberation, the jury having retired at l o'clock this after noon.
 The defendant, who is the widow of Michael Mcdonald, the former million aire gambling king and political lead CT of Chicago, received the verdict without apparent emotion. During the trial she frequently collapsed on sev- eral occdsions and the case was inter- rupted in order that she might receive medical attention. Tonight, however. she was the least moved of any person concerned in the defense her attend ant being so overcome that Mrs. Me Donald was compelled to exchange roles with her to try and quiet the woman.
 The members of the jury took an oath before reaching their finding, not to reveal the history of their deliber- atiOns. The first ballot they said, stood to for acquittal, but subse- quent developments were carefully kept secret. After Mrs. Mcdonald had been discharged she was taken to a hotel by relatives. It was announced later that she will retire to a sanita- rum.

LA TOILETTE DEMANDS
 PHYSICAL VALUATION
If Bonds of Railroads Are to Be Used as
 Basis for Emergency Circulation
The House Rejects Small Amendment to the Urgency Deficiency Bill Providing Pay for the Presidents In land Waterways Commissioners.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The debate on the Aldrich currency bill began in the senate today and was followed with interest by many bankers who Occu- pied seats in the galleries. Among them was J. P. Morgan. The discus sion was directed chiefly toward tthe provision for~railroad bonds as ba- sis for emergency circulation. a wide difference of opinion being developed concerning the method that should be adopted in determining the valuation to be given such bonds as well as the opposition to the use of such securities under any term.
 The bill was finally read through and the committee amendments incorpOra- ted, it being understood that the en- tire bill will be subject to amendment hereafter.
 MT. LaFolette read the amendments that he intends to offer. They provide that no bonds of railroads shall be ac- cepted for security for currency un- less the face value and cost of repro ducing the railroad shall have been ascertained by the interstate com merce commission and the currency is sued on such bonds shall not De more thaT-75 per cent of the physical value of the road on which the bonds are based
 Notice was given by MT. McLaurin. of Mississippi of an amendment he will offer limiting the amount of currency to be issued on any bonds to the par value of the bonds. Mir. Dan- iels offered an amendment providing that bonds of railroads that have paid regularly and continuously for five years next preceding its bonds and the interest due on all bonds, can be used for currency issues. The amendment, he says. would allow the use of bonds of roads that have not paid dividends on stock. This would permit the use of bonds of a number of southern rail- roads which are now excluded.
 Mir. Lodge gave notice of an amend ment, including among the bonds available for currency issues. the bonds of the Philippine Island gov ernment, the city of Manila and the railroads in the Philippines. the in terest of which has been guaranteed by the Philippine government

ed to the mild criticism of the presi- dent by MT. Tawney, chairman of the appropriation committee, the president having, as Tawney charged. appointed the Inland Waterways commission without authority of law. The debate was on the urgent deficiency bill, and Mir. Tawney's remarks grew out of the amendment to pay John H. Bankhead, the new senator from Alabama for his services on the commission.
 The right of the president to ap- point such a commission was upheld by Messrs. Crumpacker of Indiana, and Underwood of Alabama. The house however, refused to accept the amendment
 In a vigorous speech, Mir. Harrison of New York, condemned Secretary of State Root for his manner of handling the negotiations with Russia regarding passports to Russian Hebrew citizens of the United States and MT. Lowden of Illinois with equal force defended MT. Root, saying that the negotiations would result satisfactorily to Jewish citizens desiring to visit Russia. The Indian appropriation bill was discuss ed foS some time and amended in sev- eral particulars. Its consideration was not concluded.
 The legislative, executive and judic- ial appropriation bill was reported in the house today from the committee on appropriations. by Representative Bingham of Pennsylvania. It is to be taken up immediately after the dispo- sitioTr>Of the Indian appropriation bill. It carries a total appropriation of $32, ,337073 q reduction of $1.873,643. from the aggregate estimates submit ted. Provision is made for the pay ment of S1f,S1S. salaries or S34l less than the new estimates. and $27 more than are provided for in the present fiscal year

 CTS in That District This Afternoon.

There will be a meeting this after noon at ? o'clock at the office of W. K. James, which every property owner in the newly formed McDoweH road district is urged to attend. It is pri- marily in their own interest but is of so much public interest that half the town might be there, only that what ever is done will have to be done by the aforesaid property owners. The public can only urge them to a full ap- preciation of their own interest.
 The purpose of the meeting is to dis ,cuss 'he feasibility of cooperative ac- tion that will result in lining the Me Dowell road on either side with a uni form row of evergreen trees The same action would be, desirable along every country road but is especially so along this thoroughfare for the reason that the initiative has been accomplished. looking toward the making of that road a nice bouley ard and at the same time an important section Of a twenty five mile boulevard, the rest of which Is to be made and cared for by the government and the Central avenue road district.
