SUTT0N'S DEATH TO
 BE INVESTIGATED
Mother Declares Lieutenant Was
 Murdered at Annapolis.

Washington, July 14. - After two years of almost ceaseless effort Mrs. James N Sutton succeeded in getting the navy department to order sec ond inquiry into the death of her son. James N. Sutton, Jr., lieutenant in the marine corps, who met his death under mysterious circumstances at An napolis, Md, on Oct 13, 1907.
 Mrs Sutton declares that her son was murdered and that he did not conducted the first inquiry affirmed. She searched throughout the country and obtained new evidence which, she declares, shows that Lieutenant Slut ton was foully murdered by party of four of his fellow officers.

Stewart of Pittsburg, who was reported to be betrothed to the dead man and in whose company he spent his last evening. leaving her at Carvel hall, Annapolis. to return to his quarters with four of his brother officers. went to Canada, ard her fa- ther, while denying that she had ever beep engaged to Lieutenant Sutton, said that she would not return to this country to give testimony at the sec ond hearing.

vene against the shah. The mujtahids, or holy men, of Nejed and Kerbela, forming the Shiite sacred college, hold a position similar to that of the Sheik- ul-Islam at Constantinople. They de- nounced Sultan Mohammed Ali ,MirZa year ago for breaking an oath taken on the Koran and for maltreating mujtahids at Teheran, but took no fur ther action at that time. They now proclaim a holy war against the shah and his adherents.
 A holy war against Moslems is un- precedented, but in order to legalize 1t the hierarchy accommodated the shah and his supporters and declared them no longer Moslems. The country adjoining the frontier is already rising to arms.
 The occupation of the Persian capi- tai by the Nationalists is a direct re- suit of the insistence of the Persian people that the shah govern the coun- try under the constitution that was granted Jan. 1, 1907.

 Los Angeles. Cal. July 14.-In a fast ten round fight here Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee SUBJ eede1 in whipping Bat ting Nelson, the lightweight champion of the world.
 Nelson forced the fighting when the gong sounded, but before the first round was over he was fighting to hold his own. In the second Wolgast drew blood, and in the third the Mill waukee man had a big lead which he held until the final blow. Nelson seemed unable to land effectively, al- though he was game throughout and fought hard. At the close of the bout Nelson's nose and lips were badly swollen, but Wolgast seemed little the worse for the battle, although some of Nelson's body blows had stopped his rlshes.

REV. FORT TO RECEIVE
CALL TO CHAT TANOOGA
Now Filling An Engagement
There
May Leave Dublin to
Enter a Larger and
Better Field.

The hundreds of Americus friends
ot.R.ey. Allen Fort, one of the bright
est and most forceful young ministers
of the Baptist church in Georgia, will
be greatly interested to know that he
has received call to the pastorate
of the Baptist Tabernacle, one of the
leading churches of Chattanooga.
Mr.. Fort is now in that city looking
the situation over with the view Of
accepting the very hattering offer
rendered him.
OF his presence there the Chatta-
noga Times has the following compli-
mentary mention:
Mr.. Fort reached the city Thursday
morning and will be at the Hotel Pat
ten until Sunday night next. He will
meet the congregation of the Taber-
nacle church and such others as may
desire to take an interest in this mat
ter at the Tabernacle church tonight
He was received by the deacons
and other members of the church and
taken to the park Thursday afternoon
and will be entertained Saturday night
by members of the congregation.
He will preach at the Tabernacle
church on Sunday in the morning and
night at the usual hours. Baptists
and all the religious circles of the
city are intensely interested in plac-
ing a man of energy, brains and rep
utation in charge of the Tabernacle
church 1t is, comparatively speaking,
a new church, but is in a part of the
city growing more rapidly than any
other.
1T promises to be the center of a
population which will in a short time
cause it to become one of the leading
churches of South Chattanooga.
Rev. Fort is a young man, unmar-
ried, connected with the Fort family
which has left its impress on the state
of Georgia and the city of Chattanoo-
ga. He is an educated, cultured and
refined gentleman and would be an ac-
QUESTION to any community in which
he may locate.

NO SPECIAL MEETING
WILL BE CALLED
Will Attack Minutes at Next
Meeting.
Mr.. Allen Says Resolu-
tions Had No Effect on
Situation at All.

No, we will not make an effort TO
have a special meeting of the Board
of Trade called to rescind the action
of last Tuesday night in endorsing the
Dodson contract and publicly rebuk-
ing Council said Mr.. Lee Allen, in
discussing the action of the Board of
Trade and the report that a special
meeting would be urged by those op-
posed to the Arthur resolutions.
There is no occasion for a special
meeting continued Mr.. Allen The
minutes of Tuesdays meeting will
not be approved at the next regular
meeting. They will never be approx
ed. The meetings. action was a gross
outrage. Why, | have had not less
than twenty members of the Board
who were not present come to me and
tell me that they would be at the next
meeting to vote down any confirma-
tion of the minutes. Public sentiment
has been outraged and there will be
such a gathering of members at the
next meeting as will put an effectual
quietus on such tactics.
whats more" added Mr.. Allen,
the municipal plant will be built
and those associated with me in this
movement will never let up until the
plant is in position, owned and con-
trolled by the city in the interest of
the citizens. | am opposed to any
contracting with these people, to any
compromise with them or to any arbi-
tration with them. We are through
with them. There is no reliance to be
put in them. We are going ahead to
build that plant and the citizens will
stand behind us. They gained nothing
by the adoption of the resolutions
Tuesday night, except among those
who may think for themselves. They
simply gathered together a few
friends and passed resolutions that
didn't represent the sentiments of the
Board of Trade.
I'VE are in the fight for a municipal
plant until we win and build the
plant" said Mr.. Allen in conclusion
1T wouldn't make any difference how
many resolutions they got through
meetings such as that of Tuesday
night We know our minds, we know
what we intend doing, and we are go
ing to do it. [ haven't the slightest
doubt of that And it will not be
many months before the plant is built,
either. They are wasting time fight
ing the movement We are simply
through with them"

having gone there from Atlanta,
where he went in the interest of the
district agricultural schools.

in the legislature in years past, and
his influence there was exerted to
good effect in his efforts recently in
behalf of education.
For $4,000 has been appropriated
to the eleven district colleges through
out Georgia
This amount, $4,000 each, is in ad-
dition to the $1,000 received by each
school annually from fertilizer fees,

$4,000 by the state will enable the
Americus school to add another in
structor to its able faculty, so much
needed, and besides will purchase
great deal of equipment required in
the work shops, besides supplying
other pressing needs.
The additional teacher will have
charge. of the preparatory pupils and
lower grades, largely, thus relieving
the other teachers of this work to a
great extent
superintendent Collum will also be
confined less closely to the school and
will be enabled to go over the coun-
ties of the Third district in the inter
est of this fine educational institution,
explaining its manifold advantages
and securing other pupils
For the school will open on August

ably exceeding 125 pupils and repre-
senting twenty counties
viii Equip Engine Room.
The equipment of the mechanical
department of the school is to be in
creased by the installation of a twelve
horsepower gasoline engine, a splen-
did contribution made to the school by
it's manufacturers. The addition of
the engine will facilitate work in that
Superintendent Collum also hopes
to receive, as a gift, a cream separator
for the dairy besides other labor-say-
ing devices so greatly needed. He
knows how to secure them, and will
go after them, all right.
With $4,000 annually to aid the col
lege, Superintendent Collum feels sure
of greater results there.
Several pupils from North Georgia
will attend the Third District school
next fall, several coming from Mari
eta here, and the enrolment will be
the largest yet.

PENSION AS HERETOFORE,
No Change Is Made In Pensions by
Legislature.

There will be no change in the pen
sion laws of Georgia this year. The
bill introduced at the present term
will go over until the next session as
unfinished business. This bill was
designed to increase the class of per-
sons entitled to pensions.
Numerous inquiries have reached
Judge Cobb, county ordinary, about
the operation of the proposed law and
the prospects of it's passage.
The measure was designed to grant
pensions to all Confederate soldiers
having less than 81 500 worth of prop
erty and to widows of Confederates
who married again prior to 1870, and
who have no more than 81 500 worth
