LIFE WITH PISTOL

LAGRANGE, Ga. Feb. 22-Walter Brit
tain, a baggagemaster on the Macon and
Birmingham railroad, shot himself
through the head Sunday afternoon at
his home in South LAGRANGE. Death re-.
suited instantly.
Mr.. Britain came in from his run
Monday night and was very sick man.
He remarked to the conductor that they
had made their last run together. He re-
manned in bed all the week. His physi-
cion told him Sunday morning that the
chances were good for his recovery.
While the family were in another room
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Britain slipped out
of bed and into back room, where he
had small suit case, which contained a
3S-caliber pistol He brought the grip back
into his room and taking the pistol out,
got back in bed. Placing the pistol to his
right temple he fired, the ball going
through his head and entering a wash
stand across the room.
Mr.. Britain leaves a wife and several
small children. He had one brother, Mr..
VIII Britain, of Roanoke, Ala, and a
sister, Mrs. o. H. Dollins.
He was the son of the late Henry Brit
tain, of Antioch. His mother survives
him. The remains will be inferred at Lib
erty Hill, twelve miles from LAGRANGE.

SAILED THROUGH AIR
FOR SPANISH KING

PAU, France, Feb. 2O-King Alfonso.
of Spain, was present at the flying field
near Pau today and witnessed the flights
of the Wright brothers, the American
aeroplanists. 1t had been generally be-
lieved that his majesty would venture
aloft on one of the trips, but he did not
do so, and it became known that before
leaving Madrid he had promised Queen
Victoria and Premier Maura that he
would not go up into the air under any
circumstances. His majesty evinced the
greatest interest in me aeroplane as an
engine of war, and deplored the fact that
he could not make a trial flight.
Hart o. Berg, the European business
manufacturer of the Wrights, had an in
terview with the king last night at
which the arrangements for his majesty
to witness the flights of today were COM
pleted. After the king had told of his
promise not to fly he laughingly recalled
the cabinet crisis produced several years
ago, when Premier Maura resigned be-
cause the king had not needed his warn
ing to run his automobile slower through
the streets of Madrid.

PENROSE ARRAIGNS
LAFOLLETTE IN SENATE

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator La
Toilette was severely criticised in the
senate yesterday by Senator Penrose, who
said: @
There is no senator (glaring angrily
toward Mr.. La Follette), who has a great
er record for absenteeism than he. 1t ill
becomes him to criticise these commit
tees. When he is there 1t is only to delay
the business of the senate, to hold up the
transaction of public business. and to
embarrass those who, under their oaths
Of office, and in the conscientious dis
charge of their duties, endeavor to enact
legislation.
II shall not sit here, and I desire to
give such notice to the senator from
Wisconsin, and listen to arguments that
might better be made by a vender of a
patent medicine from the tail Of cart
in a village of Wisconsin, than from a
senator of the United States"
Mr.. La Toilette had remained standing
while these remarks were directed to-
ward him.
"It is of little value,' he said, Ito
utter a contradiction here to much that
has been said. 1t would merely put the
word of one senator against that of an
other. 1 have not attended the meetings
of some of the committees to which I
was assigned. 1 have been reasonably
diligent on the committee on Indian af-
fairs"
1T is the unanimous testimony of its
members that you have failed to attend
those meetings." interposed Mr.. Penrose,
angrily.
II would have more confidence in the
statement" replied Mr.. La Toilette, de-
liberately eff senators on that COM
mittee made that declaration them
selves "

ing the peace.
The riots followed a mass meeting, at
which two legislators and an attorney
harangued the crowd.
Police Couldn't Stop Mob
The police were helpless for almost
three hours to dispense the rioters, and
Greek residents fed in panic from tho
quarter attacked. while the mob wrecked
property.
Even after the police gained control,
they could not dispense the crowd.
The onslaught of the mob was made
in three divisions. The main attack
conferred at Twenty-sixth and Q streets.
the principal Greek quarter.
The maddened crowd began its destruc-
ton by throwing stones and bricks
through the windows and stores and
houses known to be occupied by Greeks.
In a short time havoc was made OF these
places.
The injured boys are Frank Sweeney
and Joseph Gamble, each about fifteen
years OF age, received part Of the con-
tents OF a shotgun fired into the crowd
BY the maddened Greeks. The other
persons injured were all foreigners

GEORGIANS WILL NOT
CAUCUS ON TARIFF

WASHINGTON, Feb. Blowing to d
misunderstanding there will be no caucus
of the Georgia delegation tonight on the
tariff.
The matter has been indefinitely post
poned and it is barely possible that the
Georgia congressman will make no effort
to get together. Representative Living
ston, dean of the delegation, declared
earlier in the week that he had called a
caucus for tonight, but it seems that all
of the members did not get notices, and
many of them have made other arrange
ments for tonight.
Representative Griggs, the Georgia
member of the ways and means commit
tee, states that he has received no notice
of a caucus of the Georgia congressman
and will tonight attend session of the
ways and meanscommittee.
'I don't think 1t likely that there will
be any caucus in my absence, and have
heard nothing of it, he said.

DUKE TO THE GRAVE

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. @.-The re-
mains of Grand Duke Vladimir, who died
in this city last Wednesday, were today
conveyed from the grand dukes palace
on the banks of the Neva across the river

Emperor Nicholas came into st. Peters
burg from Tsarkoe-Selo by train and
drove from the railroad station to the
palace of Vladimir in an open sleigh. He
passed through frequented streets with
out escort and his presence In this city
did not bring out any demonstration. The
route of the funeral procession was from
the residence of Vladimir, which adjoins
the winter palace, over the bridge Of the
Trinity to the fortress.
The way was lined for the entire dis
lance by troops and at the street inter
sections spectators were massed IN large
numbers. The guns of the fortress were
fired in salute as the procession crossed
the frozen Neva.
The emperor was accompanied by a nu-
merous suite of grand dukes. generals
and admirale. The Metropolitons of st.
Petersburg and Moscow and the most
prominent bishops of the orthodox church
participated in the services. The streets
of the city were white with snow and the
line of march was strown with green
tMigs emblematic of the resurrection.
The final funeral services in the Cathe-
dral of the fortress were conducted in the
presence of the highest representatives of
the church and the stae.
At the conclusion of the services the
members of the imperial family went to
the imperial palace after which they re-
turned to Tsarkoe-Selo.

ings bank bill after having been opposed for
many weeks although II has been the un-
finished business OF the senate. may yet be
