TAFT WINS IN FIGHT FOR
LOWER LUMBER TARIFF
REPORT IS NOW SIGNED
CHASED NEGRO
ON A HAND CAR
EVERETT CITY PEOPLE CAPTURE
THIEVES AND BRING THEM
TO THE CITY.

Alfred Symons and Alfred Jones.
two Everett City negroes. were
brought to the city last night by
Mr. Poncell of Everett, and placed
in the county Jail and will be held
for trial at the next session of the
superior court on the charge of lar
ceny from the house.
These two negroes robbed the res
idence of Mr.. Pinceil at Everett yes
terday, and it was only after a very
exciting chase that they were captur
ed. The negroes were seen coming
from the house by neighbors who
at once reported the robbery to Mr..
Poncell. He learned that they went
in the direction of Savannah on the
Seaboard tracks. He at once secured
handcar and with two or three
others started in pursuit of the ne
groes. The two thieves had secured
good start and We're walking up
the track as rapidly as possible, but
it did not take the handcar very long
to overtake them.
Mi. Poncell took the two negroes
in charge and returned to Everett
with them, bringing them to the city

FOUR ALDERMEN TO J
BE ELECTED SOON
ALL MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
WHOSE TERMS EXPIRE FROM
THE SAME WARD.
A Lively Contest is Expected in the
Third, While There Will More
Than Likely Be More Team One
Candidate From Other Three.

While 1t is rather early to start
the political ball to rolling in Bruns-
wick, still the politicians are begin.
ming to talk of the approaching muni-
Opal election. at which four aldermen
will be elected.
Somewhat of a peculiar situation
has been brought about this year by
the new law dividing Brunswick into
wards, and consequently it is impos-
sible for more than one of the four
aldermen whose terms expire, to be
returned to council owing to the
fact that all four of them are from
the same ward-the third.
The aldermen whose terms expire
are: l.. Ludwig, c. II. Taylor, c. Il.
Calnan and G. McGarvey, all of whom
live within few blocks OF each 9TH
er. How many of this quartet will
offer for reelection is not known. but
according to reports two of them will
be pltted against each other and the
fight in the third is expected to be a
very spirited one.
Friends of Alderman Ludwig claim
that he will be a candidate as a reO-
resentative of Mayor Hopkins fac
ton in council while one of the
other aldermen, either Calnan or
Taylor, so it is reported, will oppose
him as the candidate of the reaction
aries.
In the other wards few names have
been so far mentioned. A we'll known
young business man is being talked
OF in the second, but no names have
yet been mentioned from the first and
fourth.
1t will be only a short time now
before the registration books will
open at the city hall and then the
political fight will begin. The fight
this year will be for the control of
council. AS is well known at pres
ent five aldermen have the full power
and nave had everything their way
since the first of the year. They
will, ii is thought. again fight for con-
troll. OF the four aldermen whose
terms expire three of them belong
to the majority, leaving an even break
In council, two of the majority and
two of the minority. To secure the
control next year it will be necessary
for the present majority to elect
three Of the four members of coun-
Gil, while the minority will have to
elect only two, as they will have two
aldermen and Mayor Hopkins LEFT in
council.
While the contest this fall will be
an interesting and spirited one, it will
not be bitter, factional fight. There
are no faction lines drawn in Bruas-
wick at present, and the indications
are that the best men will win.

Factory Girls In

Cleveland, o., July pa club COM
posed of disheaftened factory en-
ployeS, advocating suicide as the only
means within their reach of attaining
the peace of mind they crave and to
escape the torments of their daily
grind, is believed to exist here
This fact was advanced by the pa
rents OF Miss Rebecca Bosechek, IS
years OF age, who was found dead
N Gordon park Sunday. Relatives
believe a companion of Miss Bose
chek will end her life within the
next few days. as the mother of the
second girl says she overheard her
daughter and Miss Bosechek planning
to kill themselves.
According to those who know of
the habits of Miss Bosechek, the club
consisted of six girls, four young
men and man and his wife. Most
of them are employed in cloak fac
tories.
The girl is known to have met with
these young people at meetings held
at various places. They are known to
have read morbid literature, andi dis
cussed death as the only relief for
their woes.

M'LENDON CASE
STILL IN SENATE
SEVERAL SENATORS HEARD
FROM ESTERDAY-MAY BE
DISPOSED OF TODAY.
Arguments Continued at Morning and
Afternoon Sessions Yesterday.
Some Want Him Ousted, Others
Take a Different View.

Atlanta, Ga, July 29.-Resuming
argument of yesterday in the sub
stitute of Senators Matthews, Slater
Gordy and Calhoun, which seeks to
prevent the dismissal of S. G. Nc
Lendon from Cffice, the senate listen
ed to arguments from Senator's Mat
hews, Burwell, Longly and Perry The
debate lasted until l O'clock when
it was extended to allow the intro
du2tiOn of new business.
Another session was held between
the hours of and o'clock, but no
final action was taken. 1t looks as
if the debate would consume at least
all of Friday. Sentiment as far as
the debate was concerned, was even
ly divided. Senator Mathews did
not think the senate had the right
to dismiss Mr. McLendon. He con-
tended that the facts concerning the
deposed railroad commissioner in
connection with the Athens bond
deals should never have been inject
ed. He thought this connection per-
fectly legal Senator Burwell thought
the commissioner should be summar-
lily dismissed. He said the senate
was as much disqualified on impeach-
ment proceedings as they were to
try the case now.
Senator Burwell quoted from Sec
retary of State Hart's testimony in
which Mr. Hart had said that NC
Lendon was incompetent and could
not render him certain services or
information" Mr. Longly favored
dismissal in a long speech. Senator
Perry was in favor of dismissal and
spoke at some length. Sentiment in
the senate appears to be about evenly
divided
