Atlanta, July pecial.)-Horrible 'ales of cruelty, including the deaths of eonvicts due to floggings for trivial of lenses, were told the Investigating coin inttee of the Georgia legislature, which Is now conducting a thorough probe into the fearful conditions prevailing at prison camps in Georgia, to which state coll victs have been leased.
 As a result of the disclosures made by many witnesses, including former con vets. guards, and Investigating legisla- :ors, it is probable that Impeachment pro- ceedings will be brought against the mem- bers of the prison commission of the state, and that the lease system will be doomed in Georgia.
 S. Cochran, former convict sen fenced for life and pardoned, told this aft ernoon of one negro convict near Milledge- vile, who because he was sick and unable Tc work was beaten so severely that he died at the Grady hospital two hours later. He told of another negro beaten to death at the Chattahoochee Brick company S

THREATENED RAGE
 WAR IS INVERTED

Natalbany. La. July 2S.-A threatened race strife between Italians and Amer jeans was averted today by the nasty flight from this community of about 16o Italians, comprising nearly the entire foreign population
 These refugees have gathered mostly in Hammond La- and New Orleans. Mean while Governor Sanders. the Italian con sul at New Orleans and Sheriff Saal, by their combined efforts, have restored quiet, and the prospects are that by to- morrow many of the Italians will begin returning to their homes The presence here of the Italian vice consul at New Or leans, Count Moroni, has been reassur- ing to Americans who feared an outbreak in coloney of about 3000 Italians living within five to 10 miles of Natalbany. Count Moronis purpose was to persuade these Italians to restrain their tenn pers.
 The American men in Natalbany, num- herins less than 100, were under arms for about F hours, alarmed by reports that Italians intended to attack and dynamite the town. These reports proved ground less and what was last night in the dark mistaken for a camp of about 300 bellig- erent Italians was today found to be band of 30 frightened refugees. It was not until late today, however that the tension was materially relieved. Early in the day there occurred typical case Of the outbreaks which have characterized the present trouble. An Italian was at tackled by Americans because he refused s to stop carrying his shotgun, and he was wounded slightly in the foot before escap- ing. His companions were roughly han dled. In previous skirmishes between the races two Italians were wounded and one American killed. During the height or the excitement 1t was reported that dozen gun fights had occurred, but this later proved untrue.

TURKS STRIVING
 TO SECURE PEACE

Constantinople, July 23.-The inactivity of the Turkish military authorities in the Monastir district against the revolution arv uprising under the guidance of the young Turks Is explained by the fact that the orders issued from Constant- nople to the military commanders are to proceed cautiously and endeavor to win over the insurgents by promise of money and promotions according to the sultan's dealing with malcontents. The authori- ties are awaiting the arrival of fresh Antolian troops, although 1t is feared that the commencement of operations will be the signal for a revolt in the army, as many officers with the new battalions from Antolan sympathize with the movement.
 Another ominous feature of the situa- ton is the attitude of the Albanians on the north hey adhere to the young Turkish ideas and favor the re-estab blish- ment of the constitution of 1876. Shukri Pasha, who was sent to Uskub to tran quilize the army, has failed in his effort, and is returning to Constantinople. It is feared that the revolt already Is gen. eral in the third army corps. and there are rumors of it's extension to other sol diers

The distance, IA miles. was made without stop in B min utes. An average height of 800 feet was maintained with some difficulty, on &C., count of the effect of frequent alterations of clouds and sunshine.

POLL TAX MIDDLE.
Judge Takes Peculiar View of the
 Subject.

Norfolk. Va, July 23.-In the case of
 Tazewell and other citizens against Her
 man, treasurer, involving the questions as to the necessary method of the payment Of poll tax in Virginia for enfranchisement et the polls in the coming presidential and all other elections, Judge Martin today de- cided that the requirement. in the new state constitution for the payment per sonally' of poll tax means that all regis tered voters before they can vote must. six months prior to the election, have paid their taxes in their physical person." and that personally" does not mean payment cut of their estate by check or messenger. This decision will dsfranchise half the present electorate of Virginia and proba- bly for three years if 1t stands An appeal was taken. The supreme court does not meet until September.

HORRIBLE TALES TOLD OF
 GEORGIA CONVICT CAMPS

camp near Atlanta. His stories were cor roborated by other witnesses. Tonight a witness told of a convict who had leg broken, was sent to the hospital, and kept there until his leg routed off and died.
 Witness declared that in one camp the beds were washed once yearly; tasks were greater than any man could do guards were inhumanly cruel. and the beatings averaged over 200 a month.
 The most horrible case of cruelty was tuld of by R. H. Keith, who related how a 16-year- old white boy named Vim, who was serving time for stealing two cases of aotted ham, was beaten to death at the Durham Coal company's camp. One night young Vim, while at supper, spilled hot coffee on the back of a pig belonging to Warden Goode The pig squealed and Warden Goode in rage had 69 lashes laid on the bare back of the boy. The child' 5 flesh was cut to ribbons and he died in d week, the convict physicians stating that consumption caused death. Warden Goode, although an officer of the state, was also drawing a large salary from tho convict lessees.
