GOVERNOR GILLETTE SAYS slru.

TAlNs TO MORE THAN RIGHT

San Francisco, Cal. Feb. 6.--Goyer-
nor Gillette arrived here today from
Sacramento to spend few days. He
was sought by press representatives
for a statement of the situation as re-
CARDS the action of the legislature with
reference to the Japanese
THE situation in the legislature Is.
more than matter pertaining to the
states rights said the governor. The
passage Of the various Japanese bills
will strain the relations between the
United States and Japan and nullify
the labors of diplomats Of the two
countries.
1T seems to me that when the.
president of the United States is so
seriously concerned in regard to this
Legislation that there cannot be any
question as to the right policy for the.
Legislature to pursue"

Gus sections reaching the proportions
OF a tornado, was probably the most
disastrous to life and property OF any

many more, and the serious injunng
of many others in the states named,

badly crippled, and that condition ex-

the greatest havoc in northern Ala

throughout the length and breadth of

BIG EXCITEMENT
AT PITTSBURG
NEGRO BEATS AND Roes SHOP
GIRL AND SERIOUS TROUBLE
NOW THREATENED.

Pittsbure. Pa, Feb G.-This city IS
again in fever excitement tonight over
the race problem, it being thought this
morning that the feeling between the
whites and blacks had subsidized and
that no further trouble would re
suit.
Early this evening Anne Glenlein,
pretty shop girl, was knocked down,
beaten and robbed Of her purse by a
burly negro, and she is in a serious
condition as a result of the assault
This latest outrage has caused
new arrests and tonight the iails are
full of negro prisoners.
II is feared by the local authorities
that the indignation of the whites may
result IN a conflict with the blacks
and extra precautionary measures are
being taken to prevent the two races
coming together. Fifty extra patrol
men were added to the police force
tonight to do duty in the negro dis
gricts.

pblAAlllttlN htAQ DetI maui, Dut moi UH -
this afternoon was the race settled.
II was a long time coming. this ap-
pofntment for solicitor of the city
court OF Brunswick. Even after the
news had been received in the city
last night and confirmed. many who
heard II were somewhat dubious as to
its correctness, so often has the rumor
been ahoat in the city that Governor
Smith had made the appointment
The fight for solicitor of this court,
to succeed J. T, Colson, has been one
of the most spirited in the history Of
the city. With four or FIVE candidates
in the race for months, all with about
even chances, kilograms and letters
and petitions and friends swarmed the
Office of Governor Smith, day in and
day out First for this candidate and
then that candidate Word came from
the capitol that the governor had de-
oided to appoint that man and this
man. Each of the candidates seemed
sure of the plum and really for months
the race has been attracting more than
ordinary attention In the city.
Then ssNhen the solicitor elect Of the
circuit was killed. and vacancy Gre
ated for that position. the race for the
local Job became more complicated
Candidates for the two offices formed
combinations, fighting for each other
Judge Il. w. Dart a first cousin Of
II, +. Dart. entered the race for soli-
citor- general His chances were con
sidered good 1t was not thought that
Governor Smith would appoint both
of them. A compromise was suggest
ed. but II failed and finally each can
didate. for both Offices. waged the fight
v1rmer and fought for himself.
Last week it was rumored that Gov
ernor Smith had practically decided
cn one Of these combinations: VIM. w
Lambdin for solicitor general and K
i, Dart for city court solicitor: J. H.
Thomas for solicitor general and r. E.
Dart for city court solicitor. or F. w
Dart for solicitor general and A. NJ.
Zellner for city court solicitor This
gave the friends of Major Dart a two
to-one shot at the position-and he
landed IT,
Anyhow, the general saying that "a
long race is stern one" has again
proven to have a semblsnce of truth
in IL.
The New Solicitor.
Major r. f. Dart. who. as soon as he
qualities. will become solicitor of the
city court Of Brunswick to succeed ].
7. Colson. is one Of the best known
members Of inc local bar. He was
graduated from the University of Vir-
ginia ii 1892, and. after his return. be-
gan the practice of law in this city.
He at once made a reputation for him
self and was considered one of the
brightest members of the bar In 1898
he was elected county attorney, but,
being captain Of the Brunswick Rifle
men al the time. resigned that posi-
tion to 90 to war with his company.
He was, in the same year nominated
for the legislature from this county.
bat likewise resigned that nomination
when he left with his company.
In his race for solicitor of the city
court he has received strong support,
no. only in this city, but from other
sections Of the state.
Mr.. Dart will probably receive his
official appointment tomorrow and will
assume the duties of his new Office at
once.

While ii had been hoped that the
Brunswick Steamship company would
not be brought into the financial en-

A., the above announcement will not
come as surprise to the people Of
Brunswick, especially those who have
looked into the situation When the
A., B, q A. went into the hands Of

pany would follow suit lhe two com
panles are owned by the identical
stockholders, with the same officers
and, as a matter of fact, is practically
the same concern, though operated, as
far as possible, independently.
As was the case with the railroad
company, the appointment Of receiy-
ers for the steamer line will not. in
any way whatever, interfere with the
operation of the Bee line steamers.

BOOSTERS WELL
PLEASED With

Tacoma gave notice to Seattle
yesterday that she was going to
be in evidence at the Alaska-Yu-
kon-Pacific exposition. The crowd
that went over to inspect the
grounds at the invitation of the
management of the fair, was well
pleased with the way things are
going.
A. w. Lewis, after luncheon,
when speechmaking was in order,
again made his plea for Tacoma to
erect a building. He said other
counties were doing 1t and he
thought Pierce county should.
L. w. Pratt gave notice that
Tacoma would be heard from and
II 1t did not erect a building, il
would spend the money some 9TH
er way.
Tacoma has decided that she
can do better with her money In
boosting the fair and getting the
people there and then getting
them to come to Tacoma, than in
erecting buildings.
I'VE are going to boost this
fair for all we are worth, but we
are going to do 1t our way" was
the dictum of Pratt.

talked nicely about the friendship
between the two cities.

Nothing that we have ever be-
fore said or done has succeeded in
bringing so many piano buyers to
our store in the same length of
time as have come since we an
nounced that we would sell 80
new Schubert pianos at but a lit
tie more than half price.
The mere mention Of the name
Schubert will cause anyone who
has ever made a study of the
piano question to stop and inves
tigate. When pianos that have
for years maintained their hank
in the very front of the. piano in
dustry of the world are put on sale
at about one-half their regular
prices, Is it any wonder that buy
ers are eager to take advantage
Of SO unusual an offering?
II you who have never person
ally Investigated the Schubert pi-
anO will but stop and let us show
you the delicate touch, the re-
sponsiveness of the action and the
beautiful quality of tone, you will
not be at all surprised at the
eagerness to get these instruments
displayed by those who know.
