JUDGE HINES DENIES ANY
OFFER TO SELL BONDS

Judge James K. Hines, special attorney
to the railroad commission, denies that
he ever offered TO sell. or try to sell. for
a fee OF $1,000 any of the bonds of the
WrightsviIle and Tennille railroad.
Here is what Judge Hines had to say
of the matter this morning:
"I was talking with President A. F.
Daily, of the Wrightsville and Tennille
railroad, in the Office OF the commission.
He was complaining that he couldn't sell
the bonds of his road. and didn't believe
IL myself, because the bonds were less
than s., 800 per mile on a railroad that
had been paying 6 per cent regularly for
years. believed they could be placed
in New York.
IT asked Judge Daily how much less
than par he would take for the bonds.
He replied that HIS directors didn't want
to sell for less than par. I asked him
IL he would pay the usual commission.
He replied he would have to take II up
with his directors. then asked him II
he would pay $1,000. My recollection is
that he said he would not. I told him
then that II he would name the compens
sation he would pay for placing the bonds
/ thought could find a person who could
sell them for him. He didn't name any
price, and the matter was dropped.
IT intended to refer the matter to A.
B. Case, a broker OF New York, and
formerly of Atlanta, and never expected
to make cent out of the matter.

as was published. es
In handing In his resignation, DR.. Melf
took occasion to say that three causes de-
termined his course, first of which was
the frequent interference on the part OF
the trustees In the administration Of his
duties. Another reason cited by him wss
the boards selection Of members OF the
faculty without being largely Influenced
by the president. aTsl 3
The last cause assigned Is that the rules
governing the military department are not
clear enough to the army officers detailed
as commandments by the war department.

the commandant is equal to or above the
president in authority. .f 80
Clashes have occurred between the conn
mandant and the president during the
past session, the latter being at all
times sustained by the trustees. Or. .
Melrs resignation was not accepted but
ing of the board will be held August u
to take action. It is hardly possible that
Senator Tillman, a life-member of the
board, will be asked to resign his seat in
the United States senate to accept the
position Of president of Clemson, as has
been intimated. Senator Tillman YVES

BUELoW LOSES OUT
BY REICHSTAG VOTE

BERLIN, July 1O.--one OF the most
eventful sessions in the history OF the
reichstag, closed today with the final
ballot on the finance bill. The results
include. besides the adoption of a new
scheme of taxation, a sweeping change
in the political character Of the reich
stag and the downfall Of a chancellor.
generally considered the ablest since the
time of Bismarck. The report that
Prince Buelow will decline to sign the
finance measure, leaving It to his success
or for decision. is symptomatic Of the
profound dissatisfaction with which the
public regards the situation. Aside from
the conservatives and centrists who are
jubilant at their return to a controlling
position in national legislation, the pre-
vailing sentiment is one of keen discon-
tent. -
Corrected estimates show that 345,-
10000 marks ssS.25 .ooo) Of the new tax
levy under the finance bill will be col
lected from the consumers, the rest COM
ing in the form Of taxes on coupons,
checks and trade transportation
Minister of the Interior Bethmann-
Hollweg, Prince Fatzfeid, Count Wedel
and Admiral Tirpitz stu are prominently
mentioned as Chancellor Buelow's sue
cessor, but 1t is admitted that the kaiser's
choice may be a surprise.

SERIOUS MISGIVINGS
MARK CRETAN AFFAIRS

VIENNA, Austria, July 1O.-Cretan al
fairs are regarded with serious misgivings
in official quarters. 1t is learned from
reliable source that the outlook Is threat
ening. The reports indicate that the,
Turks are doing their best to provoke
war with Greece while the little king
dom, conscious Of the danger, is avoid
ing anything of a hostile nature. The
young Turks believe they have a great
chance of smashing the Greeks with no
risk to themselves. On the other hand
they hesitate TO make a decisive move,
fearing a Bulgarian attack from the.
rear. Although the differences between
the porte and the government at Sofia
have been outwardIy adjusted, the Bull
garians would gladly seize the oppor-
tunity to attack the Turks in the event
of a war with Greece.
Meanwhile the situation is complicated.
The powers however appear to be anx-
ious to prevent new disturbances in the
Balkans and are considering the advisa-
bility Of sending joint warning to Tur-
key to let Greece alone. 1t is expected
that the Developments of the next few
days will be highly important.

COURT CLASH GOES
TO HIGHER COURT

SAVANNAH, Ga, July 10.-Confiict be-
tween the federal and state courts which
was threatened over the assets of the
Electrical Supply company has been
laverted by the agreement of both Judge
Spesr and Judge Charlton to refer the
case at issue to the supreme court Of
Georgia for adjudication.
Some of the creditors of the company
had appealed to Judge charlton and he
had named as receiver, w. " Davis.
other creditors applied to- the federal
court for an order in involuntary bank
ruptcy and Judge Emory Speer named
United States Marshal White as receiv-
er. Judge Charlton refused to recognize
the jurisdiction of federal ofhcials and
ordered his receiver to refuse to obey
Judge Speers writ. He further instruct
ed Davis to put armed guards over the
property and to resist the attempts Of
Marshal White with force. Thereupon,
Judge Speer cited Davis for contempt.
JUDGES REACH AGREEMENT.
Then, Judge Speer proposed to Judge
Charlton, that If he would agree to order
Receiver Davis to hold intact all the
company's property until the supreme
court of the state could pass upon the
question of Jurisdiction, the citation
for contempt would be recalled. Judge
Charlton wired that he would agree to
do so, and thereupon Judge speer tele-
graphed Judge Charlton: Your tele-
gram received. Rule against receiver ac-
cordingly suspended"
Judge Speer's letter to Judge Charlton.
while deprecating the unfortunate situa-
ton and offering a way to solve the dis
pute, nevertheless maintained that the
federal jurists view was the only tena-
BILE one and indicated that the United
States court would stop at nothing 10
enforce its mandates. Judge Speer, in
che letter, said:
eff, however, you do not think proper
to adopt this suggestion, / must do the
best 1 can towards the enforcement of
the law as 1 conceive 1t to exist, to pre-
vent the distribution of assets of what
seems to me an insolvency and bankrupt
concern" t.
Instead Of a hearing in Macon Monday
on a contempt charge, Marshal White
will ask the supreme court of the state
to turn over TO him as receiver. the prop
erty of the concern.
