JUSTICE BREWER
 PLEADS FOR PEACE

Atlantic City, June 1S.-Declaring his belief that America is the logical na- tion to bring about universal peace throughout the world" United States Supreme Court Justice David B. Brew CT, speaking before the New Jersey Bar association here yesterday made plea for united action toward a worldwide peace that shall end all wars between nations.
 'I believe that an all-wise providence had a hand in the rise of this great country to a world power that Is able to dictate peace instead of war throughout the world he said.
 With brass buttons and epalettes becoming more plentiful, with constant talk of fighting and invention of new weapons, this country must watch to prevent its people drifting into dreams of empire that can lead only to dis aster."
 Justice Brewer paid a tribute to the women of the nation who, he said, are ever for peace, and who, he declared, will have a great influence in warding off further wars.

TAFT IS ASKED TO
 REMIT BIG FINE

St Louis, June 13. "A special from Lit tie Rock, Ark, says:
 Influential citizens of St. Louis, headed by Secretary of Commerce Nagel, have filed a petition with President Taft ask Ing the remission of the S25o0 fine as sessed against Wilbur c. stith, former freight traffic manager of the Missouri Paei1c-Iron Mountain, for alleged rebat- ing The fine was imposed by Judge Trleber after Mr Stith had entered a plea of guilty on one count of an in- dietment charging him with giving re- bates to T. H. Bunch, on shipments of grain. Mir. Stth claimed that he was only technically guilty. as he had in- structions from his superior officers to grant MT. Bunch rebates.
 This statement was denied by the offi- cials of the Iron Mountain, who claimed that Mir Stith violated positive instruc- tions in allowing the rebates. MT Stith now comes forward with a number of letters which were recently submitted to Judge Trieber, instructing him 10 allow the rebates. These letters it is alleged, will show that MT. Stith only acted upon instructions of superior officers, and for that reason the President is asked to remit the fine.

JEFFR|ES WILL
 APPEAR IN RING Former Champion Is Billed to
 Fight An Unknown KNOCKERS GETTING BUSY Many Sporting Writers Have Been crItlcising Jeffres-Johnson and Kaufman Are To Meet and
 Fight on July 5.
KNOCKERS GETTING BUSY
BY JEEE THOMPSON.

New York, June 13.-(Special.) )-The an nouncement that the undefeated champion of the world, James J. Jeffries, will meet an unknown fighter for six rounds on June 15 at Pittsburg has delighted lovers of boxing all over the country. After months of silence the champion is going to show us whether he is too old and too fat to fight again. There are rumors to the effect that the unknown" whom Jeffries will meet is none other than the big colored man who so signaily defeated Tommy Burns in Australia. But these rumormongers have been seeing things. Jack Johnson would no more think of get ing into the ring with Jeffries than he would think of going to England, where the laws are so strict regarding broken contracts. The "unknown" who will meet Jeffries will undoubtedly be one of the big fighters who, while not of champion ship calibre, is willing to take a beating for a stipulated sum of money,
 The sporting writers all over the coun- try have been handing Jeffries some pretty hard knocks in their columns late ly. He has been accused of saying that he would fight Johnson as soon as his theatrical tour was at an end and he could train properly, but these know-it- alls have said that Big Jim simply made the statement for advertising purposes. They do not stop to consider that Jeff fries was never in a hurry to make a match, but when he did he took plenty of time for training, and made sure that his opponent had not the slightest show to win. Even in his first fight with Sharkey and Fftzsimmons Jeff took his time It will be remembered that for months the manager of Jack Munroe ad- vertised the Butte miner as & world beat CT, and declared that Jeffries was afraid to meet him. During all these months Jeffries never said a word, but went along quietly in his own way until he was ready to fight, and then went Into hard training on the coast with the result that when the two men met Munroe lasted less than two rounds. And Jeff will do the same with Johnson, Kaufman or any other of the present spouters At present Kaufman seems to be the only one of the heavies that rank anywhere near Jef- fries class.
 Of course, the Johnson Kaufman fight will give us a better line on the abilities of each man. Should Kaufman defeat the big black there would be no neces- sty for further conjecture as to who was the worlds champion. Jeffries would simply have to win his title back from Kaufman and Johnson would have to look for employment of some kind. His name

 Compulsory Education.
 Compulsory education is a subject which is more than likely to receive attention at the hands of the general assembly this summer. It has gen orally been considered that compul- sorry education would come sooner or later following the enactment of the child labor law.
 Quite a number of petitions are now being circulated in the state addressed to the general assembly, and urging that body to enact compulsory edu- cation law requiring children of school age to attend school for at least three months of each year.
 One of these petitions is being circu- lated at Fitzgerald, in Ben Hill coun- ty, by a committee of ladies, and more than 50e signatures have been secured in that community alone It is proba- ble that many thousand signatures urg- ing such legislation will be filed with the general assembly shortly after it meets.
 New Armory.
 Now that the Fifth infantry regi- ment and other contingents of the state militia with headquarters in At lanta, have been provided a splendid dImOIy III ll6 new DuilulHS 6IcCltu particularly for that purpose, they are out on a scouting tour for funds to furnish these quarters.
 To that end they have planned to present in the new auditorium building on July 5 what they assert will be the first great military tournament ever given in the south. They have enlisted the services of the United States troops in this presentation and at least one battalion of the Seven teenth U. S. infantry, now at Fort Me- Pherson, will participate. It is ex- pected also to have a troop of cav airy from Chickamauga park in ad- dition to the 500 or 500 state troops located in the city.
 Every possible feature of interest in connection with such an affair will be presented, and in addition Gov Joseph M. Brown, who will have been inaugurated by that time, will review the troops All the military officers in Atlanta are hard at work getting the affair in good shape.

 New Armory.
BY LAUREN FOREMAN.

Atlanta, June Special. )-The in- auguration of Governor elect Jospeh M. Brown. will take place just two weeks from today before the general assem- bly, which conYenes June 23.
 The next interesting event following the inauguration will be the election of Hon. A. s. Clay as senator, on Tues day July 6. Senator Clay was nomi- nted by the people in the last state primary to succeed himself. It is said he is now preparing the address which he will deliver when notified of his election, employing odd times when not engaged in calling down Senator AL drich for his courageous" tariff att titude.
 It seems more and more certain that the legislature will consider the ques- ton of the reduction of the membership of the railroad commission from five to three and the elimination of the legal adviser and the rate expert now em- Ployed by that body.
 The crea tion of a labor and indus trial bureau under "a commissioner of labor and industry it Is said, will also receive careful consideration. Such an enactment would fulfill long felt want in Georgia. particularly in the matter of devisng a means of record ing and keeping important industrial and other statistics.

Registration Laws.


 law so as to permit the registration books to remain open until within 50 days of a regular or primary election, instead of requiring that they close six months in advance as now pro- vided, Is also a decided probability in the way of new legislat tion.
 There will probably be some at tempts made at amending the state prohibition law by both elements, but it is doubtful if anything in this direc- tion can succeed owing to the declar- ation of the governor-e elect at he will veto any measure looking to a change of any kind in this law. This means that if any amendment at all is passed it must receive a twe-thirds vote of both houses.
 Governor-elect Brown is committed to a reduction of the membership of the railroad commission and it is under stood he will also recommend the estab- lishment of a bureau of labor and industry. It is pretty we'll understood too that the governor will strongly recommend the change from annual to biennial sessions of the general assembly. He will have strong support for this move in both houses

Va conhagration wnich came near

occurred at the home about one mile
south of Martel, late Thursday even
ing.
AS the flames we're eagerly crawl
ing towards the becs OF the sleeping
Victims, Mrs Reed became awakened
by falling timbers She awakened
her husband and together they res
cled their FIVE sleeping children and
few minutes later the entire home
collapsed and was converted into a
pile of burning timber.
IIt was shortly after 10 o'clock
when Mrs. Reed awakened with a
slant Her five children, ranging in
ages from one to ten years, were
sleeping in adjoining rooms The
house was filed with smoke and the
! cracking flames could be distinct
ly heard The parents sarcely had
time to carry the children from the
furnace before their clothing and
all Of the house furniture was con-
sumed.
The origin of the fire is a great
mystery. Ii is believed however,
that the conhagration was the result
of the work of fire bug. A can
containing ten gallons of coal oil,
which had been setting on the back
porch OF the home, mysterlotrsly dis
| appeared. The debris after the fire
was searched but no tra.e Of the
| can could be found. 1t is believed
that the firebng used the contents OF
the can in sprdnkling the roof of the
building, then applied the match and
made away.
NIr. Reed states that he has no
enemies that he knows of and can
NOT attribute any reason for amy per-
son trying to destroy their home as
| well as their lives Had Mrs. Reed
not awakened until hve minutes
later, the entire family would have
been wiped out by the sweeping fire.
The burned house was the prop
