Gould's examination may involve more
than queries as to Howard Gould's in
heritance from the estate of his father.
Jay Gould, his investments and the pres
ent figure of his fortune. 1t is said that
eleven years ago George Gould began
searching for some flaw in Mrs. Howard
Gould's record. At that time she was a
beautiful young actress playing under
her own name, Katherine Clemmons.
There was a thorough investigation of
Miss Clemmons' past, but it came to
nothing, and Howard Gould, in the face
of the family protests, married the
actress.
Howard Gould's chief defense, ii was
said today, will lie in charges of intoxica-
ton on Mrs. Goulds part. To prove this
a host of former household servants, hotel
employees and private detectives have
been called.
Mrs. Gould charges that she has been
continually spied upon ever since her hus-
band LETT her. Even in the Hotel st.
Regis, which has long been her city home,
she has been under surveillance. She
would not have minded the spying so
much had the reports of IT been honestly
made. She charges that no end of false
evidence has been prepared against her.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO
BRAVE ENGINEERS

The four Atlanta divisions OF the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers paid tri-
butte Sunday to the memory of the thiT-
teen members of the order who have died
during the past year. The memorial SER
vices were held in the X. p. hall, Kiser
building, and were largely attended.
Governor Smith was the principal speak
err He touched his hearers deeply when
he spoke of the engineers who lost their
lives at their posts Of duty-the throttle
There are heroes under the flag of
battle" said the governor, but there
are heroes in time of peace just as well,
and it can be truly said that all of your
brothers who lost their lives at the throt-
tie died as brave a death as ever a
soldier upon the battlefield. Well may you
gather inspiration from their lives" -.
The excellent work of the brotherhood
was praised by Governor Smith. He de-
clared that the doctrine of mans respon-
sibility to man was beautifully exem-
plified by the order, and he regarded the
work as a religion Of it's own.
During the past year, nine of the thir>
teen engineers who have died lost their
lives at their posts of duty, in an at
tempt to save the lives of passengers.
The nine engineers were Charles r.

neers G. F. Mooney and A. J. Elliott,

CE-MARRIED WOMAN
SEEKS COUPLES ARREST

Mrs Mary Goodman, of Meade's sta
ton, on the Decatur car line, has asked
the police to keep a lookout for her hus-
band, Cicero A. Goodman, and her
daughter by a former marriage. Sarah
Frances Ellis. Mrs. Goodman told the
police that she believed her husband and
her daughter-the girl is IL years old
were about to leave the city for Mem
phis.
According to Mrs Goodman, her hus-
band has been in love with the girl for
two years. and for two or three weeks
has kept her at a boarding house In At
lanta. Policemen who watched the
trains at the Terminal, failed to see the
couple and believe that they have not yet
left the city.
Mrs. Goodman also charges her hus-
band with squandering her property.
They were married nine years ago, she
says and four years later he began to-
drink. Then, she alleges. he began to sell
her property and spend the proceeds on
drink.
She says that she once caused her hus~
and took him back on his promise to do
better He returned, she says but did
not improve.
Mrs. Goodman has been married three
times. She first married Leo Ellis, who
was killed in Missouri: later. she says.
she married Thomas Richards, who, she
says, died at Braswell. Goodman, how
ever, says that Richards still lives and
that he is under no legal obligation TO
support Mrs. Goodman.

LOG OF PAUL JONES
is AT LAST FOUND

BOSTON, June 4.-"F1ag day will be
come memorable in the historical annals
OF the national emblem through the dis
covery Of the log Of Paul Jones ship OF
war. Ranger, the first vessel TO fly the
American flag, in the eyes of the Britons.
This log was found among many relics
left by the late Erastus Perry Jewell, OF
Laccnla, n. H., who died a few days
ago. II may become the property Of the
national government within a short time.
The beginning of the log appears to
be in the handwriting OF Captain Jones
himself, as IL bears a resemblance TO a
fac smile of a letter to General Wash
Ington, found in the Boston Public library,
and taken from the original in the arch
ives at the national capitol.
A perusal of the log tends to prove
two complete facts. first, that Captain
Jones was part author of the data in
congress passed June IA. 1T77, for the de-
sign OF the flag and. second, that before
he went 70 France he made several trips
TO clear the northern Atlantic of British
privnteesmen and 10 prey on British COM
merce. II Is couched so modestly that II
does not give details, but enough is shown
10 warrant such a conclusion. The log
proves conclusively that Captain Jones
chased every ship in sight with the new
Ranger. which was among the swiftest
of the vessels. His prizes were taken 10
Portsmouth, Boston and Charleston.

MUTINY DETAILS

MANILA. June "details OF the mu-
tiny of the company Of native constabu-
larry stationed at Davao. on the Island Of
MindanaO. on the night OF June 6. show
that the attack on their officers was made
Unexpectedly by the mutineers.
When the mutineers opened fire one Of
ficer. DegoicOuria, was hit three times,
but none OF his wounds were serious,
while Governor Walker and the other Of
fieers OF the company escaped without a
scratch The mutineeTs then fed TO the
hills after taking thirty rifles and five
thousand rounds OF ammunition.
Governor Walker summoned the neigh
boring planters as soon as the mutineers
were out OF sight and proceeded TO fortify
a convent in preparation for a long siege.
On account OF the firearms restrictions,
most of the planters were armed with re-
volvers oply. but when the natives made
an attack on the convent the afternoon OF
the seventh. they fought with great spirit

INFIRMITIES OF CONVICTS
SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED
WITH VIEW TO PARDON
So Thinks Gov Smith Will Recommend Legislation Pro-
vdng for Such Investigation Before Transfer of Convcts
From County Camps Farm-Hs Recent Investga-
tons Led to This Position

helpless, charges upon the state, and in
every such case their kin were anxious
to welcome them home and provide foN
them in their Affections. Remaining at
the farm, they would have been burden
and an expense to the state, and, indeed,
it is said the only justification for hold
ing them was for the employment of ex-
ira guards and help at the farm.
CASES DEMANDING MERCY.
Men with eysight gone forever, as the
result of mine explosions; men and wom-
en-, suffering with tuberculosis, some of
them in the last stages; men with limbs
gone, heads bruised and broken, bodies
mutilated, consequent upon accidents;
men and women afflicted with diseases
beyond the help of medicine and atten-
tion-these were the sort of cases In which
Governor Smith has exercised clemency;
these are the kind of cases that he thinks
merit mercy, and cases, such as these,
are the kind, he thinks, the Legislature
should by enactment require the pardon
ing power to investigate before removing
them from a county camp to the state
farm, where, helpless and harmless, they
would be a burden and expense upon the
state.
And in the cases where the governor
was not actuated by afiiction and harm
lessness 1t appears that the trial judge
had recommended the exercise of the par
doning power because Of newly discover
ed evidence. or a lingering doubt as to
guilt IN the first instance. The recon-
mendation of a trial judge in all cases
has carried much weight with the gov
ernor, and he will tell the Legislature that
he has more faith in such a recommends
ton than in an investigation by the prison
commission.
The penitentiary system, as it now ex-
lists. will also receive attention at the
hands of the governor, in his message
it is said. 1t is believed that he will dep
recate the division of responsibility, and
suggest that the penitentiary be placed
under the direct control of one man, with
competent help in all of the departments
He will, II is stated, suggest radical
changes in the management of the state
prison farm. with a view to bringing this
institution In closer touch with the head
of the system.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1909-06-15

In his farewell message to the legis-
lature. Governor Smith will. 1t is under
stood, recommend the enactment of leg
islation providing that before convict
is transferred from a county camp TO
the state prison farm, because OF IN
frmities contracted subsequent TO his
conviction. IL shall be incumbent upon
the hardening power to investigate and
ascertain whether the ends or justice
would not be met and the state bene-
fitted by the exercise Of executive Glenn
ency either by means OF fun pardon,
or a Communication OF sentence. 1t is
further understood that the governor
may suggest that trial judges be re-
ouired. when called upon by the chief
executive, to furnish information con-
corning cases referred to them, and adj
wise whether, in their judgment, events
subsequent to conviction warrant execu-
tive interference with the original SEN
tence of the court.
In the exercise OF the pardoning power
in the past Governor Smith has been
controlled largely by the very things
upon which he will recommend legisla-
ton, and in every case, IL appears, the
ends Of Justice have been met by his
action, while the state has been benefit
ted in numerous cases.
MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES.
The governor, IL is said. holds to the
belief that the state should not be bur-
dened with the expense Of keeping help
less and harmless convicts, whose
crimes have, in part at least, been miti-
gated by the hand OF God subsequent
10 their conviction, by the visitation OF
some frightful calamity. He thinks that
in cases where the convicts' families are
willing and anxious to care for their
unfortunate kin executive clemency
should be exercised. and this belief was
one OF the controlling factors in the
recent pardon Of the twenty-five help
less and harmless inmates of the prison
farm.
Among the convicts recently pardonec
or committed by Governor Smith, ma
jority of them were victims OF accidents
and disease. They were harmless and

CLAY TO FIGHT
COTTON BAG DUTY
Tariff Proposed on Begging Alone
Will Cost the South Five Mil
lion Dollars a Year, is the Esti-
mate of Georgia Senator.

WASHINGTON, June 1--we will
surely be here until the first of August,
and probably until the first of Septem-
ber," said Senator Clay, of Georgia, today
respecting the session of congress. He
had just concluded reading the newspaper
report of the action of the senate finance
committee with reference to the portions
of the tariff bill which had remained un-
acted upon.
II observed" he said, that the commit
tee has placed tariff on hides and also
on cotton bagging and cotton ties. We
of the south are not so much concerned
about the duty on hides, but New Eng
land need not think that she can tax our
people on ties and bagging without hear
ing from us.
80 far we have remained very quiet
in the present contest, but unless l am
much mistaken the Democratic senators
will be heard from from this time on.
1.-The duty on bagging alone will cost
our people at least five million dollars a
year, and we will not submit without a
protest"
TALKED ABOUT PHILIPPINES.
The Philippine islands were the subject
of consideration of the senate today when
the tariff bill was taken up. The finance
committees provision regulating the pay
ment of duties on commodities coming
into the United States from the islands
was taken up after the senate had held
an executive session, and Immediately
became the subject of animated discus
sion. The provision permits the free i'm
portation of Philippine goods with re-
strictions and exceptions and on motion
of Senator Lodge. 1t was made appli-
cable to Guam and Tutuila on the same
terms.
The language of the paragraph relating
to the free admission of free products OF
the Philippines was changed to make
clear that all manufactured articles i'm
ported into the United States from the
Philippines should be composed wholly
OF products of the islands or Of the
United States.
The change was made upon suggestion
Of Senators Buckley and Brandegee and
was intended to permit Connecticut cigar
wrappers to be taken to the islands anc
then reimported into the United States
as a part of a cigar free of duty.
