SMITH AGAIN SCORES
"LACK OF P0LITENESS"
He Says Chicago Has More
Heat Than 'CoId, Selfish
New York"

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Since F. Hop
kinson Smith, the actor, told the
Southern society the otner hight :JGC
New York is the worst hammered city
in the world, he has been in receipt
of hundreds of letters or praise ami
confirmation. II am beginning to be-
lieve,' he said today. that in making
what / thought to be, at the time,
very casual and quite undisputed re-
mark, | really voiced a widespread DIS
satisfaction.
People here not only ignore good
manners, but they seem to violate them
deliberately Chicago is not thought an
academy Of the graces, but the trouble
in Chicago is not boorishness, but hus-
tie. People rush into you, brush by you.
forget you in the peculiarly hurried life
of that city, but there is not there the
peculiarly piggish, cold, selfish brutality
of bad manners that has grown up in
New York. Chicago has a heart in
the right place.
but the fault does not end there. Our
young men of what we call society are
worse than the most boorish subway
guard. Hundreds of dear young girls
invited out have to go home in the care
of maid when the time for the Ger
man comes, because the men will not
dance and the girls shrink from the hui
initiation of being thought wall flowers.
Where are the men who should be wait
ing on them? Upstairs in the dressing
rooms smoking cigarettes and drinking
brandy and soda, while they say: 'Aw,
we don't want to dance The miserable
young cads. They know the girls can't
dance alone"

STAND ALONE AGAINST
ALL POWERS, u. S. PLAN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-To stand
alone against any and all powers If nee
essary is the slogan of the state depart
ment in dealing with the Chinese situa-
ton which as reflected in Washington to-
day is considered serious. The first blow
will be dealt by Secretary Knox shortly
and will mean the rejection without ex-
panation of the Russian counter proposal
to build an Independent railway line in
China so as to leave the Russian and
Japanese system disassociated from the
points under contention.
This rejection is expected by the
French. British and Russian ambassadors
during the first part of next week. Mr..
Bryce, the English envoy, was recalled
hastily from Florida to deal with this
matter Secretary Knox. according to con-
fidential information, is not disposed to
entertain any of the other proposals
The Russian government proposes 4
railway to extend further westward than
the proposed Aigun- Chinchow railway,
which, by a wide detour to the westward
would avoid the desert between Kalkan
and Urga. This, however. is objected to
by thc powers because ii would give Rus
STA, too strong a strategic power as the
proposed branch would touch the Russian
railway, now in operation.

HAWKINS WILL, RUN =
FOR ASHBURN JUDGE

ASHBURN, Ca, Feb. 2s.-For some time
it has been rumored I'm political circles
that Judge w. A. Hawkins would be n
candidate for judge of the city court Of
Ashburn. Judge Hawkins has just con-
firmed the report and states that he will
formally announce his candidacy through
the local papers in the next issues. He
was Judge of. this court up until last
summer when a strong petition was pre-
scented to the legislature to abolish same,
and while the bin was pending before the
legislature he resigned. A bill abolishing
the court was passed.
A delegation from here who favored
the continuance of the city court prevailed
with Governor Brown to veto the bill
abolishing the court. Whereupon Judge
r. L. Upton was elected to fill out the
unexpired term of Judge Hawkins. 1t is
generally understood that Judge Upton
will be a candidate to succeed himself
The fact that Judge Hawkins seeks re-
election to the judgeship so soon after
his resignation therefrom adds interest to
the situation.
Col. ]. A. Conner, solicitor of the city
court, will not be a candidate for re-elec-
ton. Coils. Edwin A. Rogers and u.
Bass have announced for this office

SALOON THE POOR MANS
CLUB, SABBATH DECLARES
If ProhibitioniSts Rob Us of
Drinking Liberty, They Will
Others
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO. Feb. 2S.-Congressman A. ].
SABBATH, of Illinois, who was the chief
speaker at the United societies meeting
yesterday, promised the wet workers
his support, and expressed hope that the
saloon situation would be unchanged.
1.-The same men who are active in the
prohibition movement throughout the
country are the ones who appear before
congressional committees in Washington
and argue against immigration" said the
congressman.
II warn all you people to be on your
gaurd. These men are all the time trying
to do some mischief somewhere.
IF they succeeded in robbing us of this
liberty to drink what we want and eat
what we want, they will try to take other
liberties and prevent foreigners coming
into this country, and thus rob the coun-
try of men who have made it what it is.
1.-The saloon is the poor mans club. 1t
is practically the only place he has for
meeting and intercourse with his fellow
workers, and if that is closed many Will
be left without any place for social life.'

COCA-COLA COMPANY
HARASSED BY WILSON
Does This Despite Agreement
to Allow Court to Settle the
Question

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2s.-The
department of agriculture continues to
nag and harass the Coca-Cola company,
of Atlanta, despite the written agree
ment of Secretary Wilson to allow the
whole issue affecting Coca-Cola to be
settled by the United States court at
Chattanooga, where a case is now pend
ing.
An inspector of the department of ag-
riculture recently purchased some Coca
Cola at Indianapolis, Ind, which, 1t is
alleged, was misbranded and adulterated
within the meaning of the pure food and
drugs act. AS a result of this purchase,
the Coca-Cola company was cited to
appear at Savannah on Monday next TO
present evidence to the chief of the food
and drug inspection laboratory
Congressman Livingston has had the
case postponed for two weeks and, In
the meantime, it is believed the federal
court at Chattanooga will have passed
upon all of the questions involved IL
the prosecution.
The fact that Secretary Wilson has
violated his promise to await and abide
by the decision of the Chattanooga court
Is not surprising, according to Colonel
Livingston, who says that the secretary
approved or Chlet FORESTER flnchol lel-
ter to Senator Dolliver and subsequently
denied knowledge of it. His action is
attributed to the in6rmity of age.
In a letter to Solicitor McCabe. of the
department of agriculture, Attorney John
S. Gambler, of Atlanta, representing the
Coca-Cola company, states that in view
of the agreement to try the Chattanoo-
ga case on it's merits, he cannot under
stand the reason for the second proceed
ing against the company. He says that
the questions involved in this latter
proceeding may be distinctly ruled upon
by the court in Chattanooga.

ILL, WOUNDED CONVICT
GIVES SELF BACK TO LAW

EATONTON, Ga, Feb. 2S-An unusu-
ally strange case is recorded in the re-
capture and return to the Georgia peni-
tentary system of Porter Jones, the
young Iife-term convict, sent up two
years ago from Putnam for the murder
of Robert Flournoy Adams. one of the
county's best young farmers and a mem
Der of one of Putnam's largest and best
known families.
Young Jones made his escape several
months ago from the DeKalb county
chain gang in a remarkably shrewd and
cunning manner and has since been at
large most of the time in Alabama, where
he worked at a saw mill. Badly wounded
and. in his opinion. past all hope of ultI-
mate recovery. he has just passed
through Eatonton in charge of a state
guard en- route TO the state prison farm.
While walking along a railroad in AL
ALBANIA one night, Jones was shot acci-
dentally by a crowd or boisterous men
who were shooting down the track. The
bullet passed entirely through Jones
lung. Jones, not knowing how desperate
ly wounded he was. managed to secret
himself and let no one know Of his In
jury.
He made his way to Birmingham, and
stayed there several weeks, receiving, In
the meantime, medical treatment, but
not the constant attention his wound re-
quired on account OF fear OF recaptlre.
Finally, with his wound an almost cam
kerous sore. and still I'm a pitiable con-
dition he wandered back towards Geor-
gia, as he firmly thought, to die near
home, In a south Georgia county Le
voluntarily surrendered to a justice of
the peace, as he says, on the agreement
that the justice of the peace would divide
the reward in half with him. This. Jones
declares, the justice refused to do.
