SENATOR CLAY HAS
 NO OPPOSITION

Atlanta, April 4.-(Special.)-It is now apparent that United States Senator A. s. Clay is not to have any opposition in his candidacy for renomination before the primary of June 4. It would appear that the delay of Governor Smith in mak- ing up his mind whether or not he would run for the Senate kept other prospective candidates off until it was almost too late to get into the fight. even had they wanted to-

TASK OF SUPPLYING THE
 FLEET WITH PROVISIONS

Washington, April 4.-(Special.) )-The of- ficials of the navy department who have to do with the provisioning of the battle ship fleet have begun the task of pur- chasing the supplies for the vessels need ed on the trip from San Francisco by way of the Asiatic station, Australia and Suez to Hampton Roads. It is hoped to equip the ships with sufficient provisions of the preserved variety to make necessary pur- chased en route only of fresh or per ishable foods. It is believed this may be done by the shipment from San Fran cisco to Manila, and possibly one or two other ports, in the naval refrigerator ships of supplies which may be transferred to the vessels to replenish exhausted laroers. Sufficient quantities of meat will be taken on in Australia, where there is excellent

 The bullet entered underneath the chin to the left of the medal line, and rang ing upwards, tore away considerable part of the frontal bone. The bayonet was found with one of the cross pieces at it's hilt resting within the trigger guard, the point on the floor.
 Young Mccall had arranged with some of his friends to go fishing today, and they had agreed to carry the army rife with them. A bottle of oil. together with other implements used for cleaning pur- poses, were found in positions indicating that they had been used just prior to the discharging of the gun.

Princeton's Swimmers Best.

Princeton, N. J., April 4.-Princeton won the intercollegiate individual swimming championship here tonight, scoring F points to Yales 15 and to Pennsylvania's 13. Two intercollegiate records were broken. In the 50-yard swim E. R. Denniston of Princeton lowered his own record of 261a sec onds to 26 1-5 seconds. In the plunge for distance Edgar L. Beatty of Yale plunged 72 feet, which is one foot bet ter than the intercollegiate record made by him two weeks ago.

opportunity for the acquisition of such supplies.
 American consular officers wherever the vessels are likely to stop will be furnished with the navy department provision speci- fications They will be instructed to ob- tain bids from local dealers and be in readiness to make contracts for certain supplies on cabled instructions from Washington. In this way there win be no delay in obtaining the supplies which are in accordance with the contract re- quirements. The schedule of the supplies which will be required has not been com pleted, but it will be much the same as that for the ships in home waters. No ad- ditional provisions to keep the ships sup piled with food will be required than would be the case if the vessels had re- mained on the Atlantic coast.

New Tactics.

Following that decision the railroads employed new tactics, filing petitions for injunction in the state courts. They went through the state supreme court and again to the United States supreme court, where the last time the decision was against the state, but only upon the one ground that the Georgia laws under our own supreme courts construction of them did not allow due process of law in the determination of the rights of the prop erty owner. When this decision came back to the state supreme court recently sent the eases back to the superior court of Fulton county, the understanding be- ing that they were to be reopened and the railroads given the opportunity to present evidence as to the question of the propertys valuation for the purposes of taxation.
 The Georgia railroad attorneys did not contest this course and when the matter got back to the superior court 1t was in shape for discussion as to the proper value to be placed upon the stock for taxation purposes. Attorneys for the state and for the railroad company got together and agreed as to the assess ments to be put upon the stock, cutting down those made by the comptroller gen. eral by about 90 per cent. This reduction was largely justified by the fact that Tn making the assessments In the first in- stance the comptroller general had not taken into account the fact that the in- come on this stock would be cut down by taxation. But the settlement was finally reached as stated, and one phase of the litigation, at least, brought to an end.

Claims For T axes.

But the state still claims taxes from the Georgia railroad on this stock for 1905, 1906 and 1907, for which the road denies it's liability. It has transferred the stock to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, one of it's lessees, with the view to removing it from the 3urs- diction of the state and out of the reach of the taxing authorities. The next step will be demand for taxes for those years and upon refusal, the issuance of more executions. Then the whole thing is to be fought out again. probably going back to the supreme court of the United States before final determination is reached.
 But in addition to that the question of the taxability of the 15.0O0 shares of the same stock held by the Central of Geor- gia still remains in litigation. The Cen tral refused to accede to the view that the state supreme court could send the case back to the lower court after the adverse decision from Washington. It is still to be threshed out. therefore, going again to the United States supreme court at least once more, and possibly twice.

 Mrs H. A.

Remedies and doctors failed to help me, and I was steadily growing worse when Deans Kidney Pills were brought to my atten- tion.

WAR ON RATS.

a French scientist. DR. A. Calmette,
is quoted as having made the prediction
that general warfare on rats must be
engaged in before many more years. II
the world is to remain a desirable habi-
tation for man. The peril. he says,
comes from the migratory, or sewer rat,
which follows man into every cline.
This rat, the French writer says, was
first heard Of in 1920 in Persia and East
India He invaded Europe in the eigh-
teenth century Driven from their COM
mon haunts by famine, <the vermin
crossed the Volga in 1927. in vast num-
bers. They made their appearance in
Prussia In 1850, and were first seen at
Paris thnee years later. Professor CAL
mette claims that the sewer rat did not
appear in America until 1865, when he
was first noticed along the coast and In
various seaports. As late as 1870 he
had not yet reached the headwaters of
the Missouri. BY 1900 he had gone up
to the permanent ice belt.
AS an Instance OF the terrible destruc-
tion the rat can cause. the case OF an
island in the River Humber Is cited;
This island was once completely
covered with rich grass, which kept in
good condition all the year round about
600 head of cattle. The island Is
separated from the shores by half a
mile of water. one day the place was
infested by rats that had reached the
island by swimming That was fifteen
years ago. Today there is not enough
verdure on the island to nourish a rab-
bit The whole island has been honey
combed by the rodents, so that 1t can
cannot even be reclaimed by cultiva-
ton"
DIR. Calmette concludes by showing
that within two years single pair of
rats win ordinarily multiply to over
1900, TO be exact. 10 1886 That Is one
Of the reasons why he thinks that un-
less something is done, rats will soma
day be the only animals left on tho face
OF the globe.

IMPROVEMENT. NOT rAnsEnoop.


The Tribune is trying to make II ap-
pear that the News is opposing ths
construction or an aqueduct for the
benefit OF residents in the western parts
OF the city. That is false and ma
lcious iusnuatiun. The "Nsws' Is
not opposed to any necessary improves
ment over two months ago the News
tool, occasion 70 say that the adueduct
ought TO be constructed whenever the
city can afford that Improvement"
and, according TO the Information We
had. 1t ought TO be built from Main
street. and not only from Fourth West.
The position Of the News" has been
made sufficiently clear on that point
But We do not believe the city coun
cll majority intends to use one cent
or the money It IS proposed to borrow,
Tor that purpose. We sincerely believe
that the premise 10 use $3.50 for the
construction of an aqueduct is not
made in good faith, but that It Is
thrown ont MS u hook on which to catel,
votes. We believe It should be rel
garded IN The light OF an effort TO oh
tain loan under false pretenses.
The reason for this belief Is, that the
Constitution expressly limits the au-
thority Of the voters to draw on the
credit Of the community. Bonds "a,
be voted only for the increase OF the
water supply artificial lights, or sew
ers. after the limit for general purposes
has been reached The Constitution
does not give the citizens any dis
crotIon in the matter. but states what
the money must be used for, The mem
bers of the majority Of the council
promise To- use some OF the borrowed
money for purposes not authorized BY
tie Constitution, there seems no ESCAPE
from the conclusion that they do not
intend TO keep that promise.
We are not opposed to the promised
improvement If there is any way In
which money can be obtained legally
for it, we shall be pleased to lend our
aid TO the furrhorance of the cause.
The Tribune asks sundry questions re-
garding "lawbreakers In evidence in
the affalrs of the city 'Who are
these lawbreakers? What positions do
they hold?"
The public would be very much in
terested in full information on these
questions, but it is our contemporary
that ought to furnish that information.
