NEAR-bEER BILL
MAY Be DEFEATED
BY F|L|BUSTER
OPPONENTS OF MEASURE FRAME
UP WAY TO PREVENT 1T
COMING UP.
The Appropriation Bill is Now Before
the House and Can Be Called at
Any Time-It May Be Used to
Block Tippins's' Bill.

Atlanta, Aug. 4.-The introduction
in the house today of the appropria-
tion bill and tilibuster over the
Cabaniss fertilizer bill, put an entire
ly different phase oa the Tippins near
beer bill, which opponents of the
bills earlier in the morning had al
lowed to be set as special order for
Monday.
The appropriation bill is now before
the house and can be called for at
any time by Chairman McElreath Of
Fulton. When he does ask that it be
considered it will take precedence
over every other measure. If he re-
quests it to be taken up Monday both
the Tippins and Cabaniss bills will be
put aside until the house has finished
with the appropriation measure. This
would mean that neither of the other
two bills would be voted on at this
session.

SIMON FOLLOWS IN STEPS
OF HIS PREDECESSOR

Port au Prince, Aug. president
Simon sailed last night for Kingston,
Jamaica, the refuge of Haiti's fallen
heroes, as the warship 18th OF De-
cember," which takes it's name from
the day he was unanimously elected
president of the Black Republic,
doomed a doleful farewell.
He follows in the wake of Nord
Alexis, whom he overthrew in 1908.
General Cincihatus Leconte and
General Antenor Firmin are in pos
session of capital. Much uneasiness
is felt regarding the little republic s
future.
Leeonte and Firmin are avowed
candidates for the presidency, and
feeling between the two parties is un-
friendly. The diplomatic corps is ex-
erting it's energies to prevent con-
flict.
Now Firmin's followers are in the
majority in the city. Leconte, with a
large army, is approaching. Last
night passed with comparative calm
teh lawless element being we'll in
check.
1t is unlikely that an attempt to
constitute a provisional government
will be made until F'irmin and Leconte
arrive.

WILSON IGNORED
CHEMIST WILEY
SAYS HE HAD NO INFLUENCE IN
BRINGING ABOUT THE
PROSECUTIONS.

Washington, Aug. 4.-George P. Nc
Cabe, solicitor for the department of
agriculture, today testified before the
house investigating committee that it
was upon his recommendation, and
not DR.. Wiley's, that all prosecutions
for pure food law violations We're or
dered or refused by the secretary of
agriculture.
The extent to which Wiley, the
governments chief chemist, whom
Attorney General Wickersham recon-
mended for removal, was overruled in
the matter of prosecutions and the
nature of charges which have been
brought against him by the depart
ments personnel board" were the ba-
sis for an interesting session today,
terminating with cross-examination of
McCabe by Wiley's counsel, Henry E.
Davis.
The food and drug inspection board
of which Wiley, Dunlop and McCabe
were members, and which formerly
determined what prosecutions were
made, has virtually ceased to exercise
CONTROL over these letters" said Nc
Cabe. This was done by General Or
der No. no." which promises to be-
come famous before the present inves-
tigation ends.
"Has Wiley any authority whatever
now to recommend prosecution for vio-
latfons of the pure food law?" asked
Davis. =, ~,f<a Mswy
"The bureau of chemistry collects
samples, makes examinations, and
then sends the case to me-" said Nc
Cabe.
isn't it a fact that the whole mat
ter is passed up to you and you deter
mine whether there shall be prosecu-
tions?'
Il recommend to the secretary what
shall be DONE"

HE has the right to appeal to the

Chairman Moss asked McCabe
whether there was in the agricultural
department an allegiance register" ;"
McCabe said he did not know. Moss
directed McCabe to investigate and
produce the register, If one is found.

SENATE MAY ASK
FOR A MESSAGE
GOVERNOR TO BE ASKED TO
URGE PASSAGE OF THE
NEAR-BEER BILL.

Atlanta, Aug. 4.-Hoke Smith will
not be asked to resign office of gov
ernor and go to Washington. At least
the senate will not make such a re-
quest, but instead may ask him to
send a special message to the legis-
lature urging the passage of the near
beer bill and measure providing for
state and county boards of tax returns
and valuations. Senator Harris to-
day gave notice he would withdraw
his recent resolution asking the gov
ernor to relinquish his. office. He
followed this by introducing a reso-
luton urging the governor to send a
special message favoring the passage
of the Tippins near-beer bill The
resolution was tabled for the day..
The senate passed five bills, all re-
lating to the creation of the office of
lieutenant governor. Governor Smiths
appointment might have been consid-
cred by the senate today if it had not
been Friday, but number of the
senator's, bore stiff with the passage
of local bills, was willing to adjourn.
A minority report which in number
of supporters is really a majority re-
port, was submitted to the house to-
day by the committee on public build
ings in which the lease of the COVER
nors mansioon is recommended. in
stead of sale. The result of the min
ority report will be, it is believed, to
prevent the legislature from deciding
at this session on disposal of the
mansion.

When you wrote the senator you

What are you smiling at! sudden
ly demanded Hancey.
At the way you put it,"
White referred to the so-called con-
tract between him and The Tribune.
so you didn't regard that contract
more binding on you than the truth,
did you?" inquired Hancey.
White did not reply.
You knew you violated your oath,
made yourself infamous under the H.
linois constitution and disqualified
yourself for holding any office when
you say you took those bribes?" asked
Hancey.
Yes, and l knew those who were
paying me were doing the same thing,
and so were the special intere sts who
put up the money to do it,"

BRUNSWICK To
JOIN FIGHT FOR
GL|ODEN ROUTE
ACTIVE STEPS BEING TAKEN TO
HAVE TRIP MADE OVER
.'cAPITOL ROUTE"
Maternal Highway From Charlotte 'tas
Been Selected, But Strong En-
fcrt Will Be Made to Have
the Route Changed.

Brunswick will be asked by the
other cities along the route known as
the Capital Highway" to join in a
fight to secure the great Glidden tour
from Charlotte to Jacksonville, and
a hard fight on the part of these cities
will be made for the run, which has
already been decided upon, but the
route selected is the one known as
the National Highway" passing
through Atlanta and Macon. 1t is
probable that the Brunswick Automo-
bile club will at once take action and
will render all assistance possible to
secure the run for the route via this
city.
Discussing this subject the Angus
ia Chronicle of yesterday contained
the following:
Protesting against the selection of
the national highway by way OF At
lanta for the route of the Glidden
tour to be run in October on the
grounds that the proposed route is 300
miles longer than is necessary and
that the route by Columbia, Augusta
and Savannah is not only in better
condition, but is the only logical
route, the automobile clubs OF these
cities will join efforts to have the
run changed to follow the Capitol to
Capitol highway, passing through the
cities named.
''These three will make strenuous
objection to this fragrant discrimina-
tion against the road which is known
and admitted by those who have trav-
eled over it, to be the better con-
structed route and the one which will
inevitably be the permanent course
for automobile touring through the
South.
CDR. F. A. Coward, president of the
Automobile Club of Columbia, has
written to the officers in charge of
the management of the tour, urging
the change and stressing the superb
ority of the Capitol to Capitol high
way. He will have the strong CO.
operation of Augusta and Savannah
and all of the other cities and towns
along the highway.
Ilu0uuISl, tduu6l, COluluUld, al
ken, Augusta and Savannah are all
on the Capitol to Capitol route and
the work that has been done on the
roads along the entire distance is
something enormous. Being of sand
clay, construction is at it's best dur
ing the fall and winter months when
the number of Northern tourists are
in the South, and to have the superb
ority of the highway overshadowed by
less direct and less desirable road
is regarded as matter to justify the
strongest protest that may be pre-
sented.
Columbia, S. c., Aug. 3.-The Auto
mobile Club of Columbia will ask the
cooperation of the Augusta Auto
mobile club and the clubs of Savan-
nah and other towns along the Capt.
tol Highway to secure the Glidden
tour from Charlotte to Jacksonville,
Fla
A letter addressed to the manage
ment of the tour today by DR.. F. A.
Coward, the president of the Column
bia Automobile club, shows that the
Capitol Highway is in much better
condition than the National Highway
and that the route by Columbia and
Augusta and Savannah is the only
logical route.

Admiral Togo, the famous Japanese
fighter and statesman, who arrived in
America from England today, to pay
short visit to some of the leading
cities of the country, is one of the
most remarkable of the mikado's SUBJ
jects. He probably has more nick
names than any other man in Japan,
all of which have been inspired, more
or less by the feelings toward him of
the classes who bestowed them upon
him.
He is best known by the nickname
of the Silent One, because with Togo
silence is a religion. In the seventeen
days in which he will "do America, :"
it is probable that Americans will
see great deal more of Admiral Togo
than they will hear of him.
Togos naval training was begun in
England, which country he has been
visiting after attending the coronation
as special representative of the mi
kado. AS a young man he attended
the naval college at Greenwich. He
also inherited his taste for the sea,
as he came of the Satsuma clan. a
tribe noted for it's great sea warriors.
Indeed, prior to the time of the Japan
ese war with China, the Japanese fleet
was manned almost wholly by the Sat
suma clan, just as the army was
drawn from the Chosu clan. Nova
days, neither army nor navy is given
over to these entirely, which are the
two most powerful clans of Japan.
Returning to Japan, Togo was en-
pIoyed in various capacities. In 1894,
when war broke out between China
and Japan, he was in the command of
the Naniwa, cruiser of $3.50 tons.
one Of the vessels composing what
was then known as the first flying
squadron of the Japanese navy. Dur
ing the war he greatly distinguished
himself, and earned the reputation of
being a first-class fighting man. 1t
was in connection with the sinking
of the Kowshing that Togos name
first came into worldwide prominence
however. The episode created a
great deal of adverse criticism, but
when Togo's position was fully ex-
planned, the criticisms passed away.
Togo is now so years old. In ap-
pearance he does not resemble the
high-cast Japanese, for he is of noble
birth. He is an understood, pudgy
little man, with close-cropped head
of hair and sharp iron-gray beard. and
eyes that are not markedly almond
shaped. In composure-which is to
say at all times-there is a half-smile,
half-scowl, about the corners of the
mouth, which defies analysis.
His uniform, like the average Amer
lean or English naval officer, fits
badly. His bearing is not what people
call military, and it is said that when
the Russians, whom he conquered,
first saw him, they declared that
their humiliation was all the greater
because of the size Of their conqueror
forgetting the stature of their own
czar. ra, 2
