TERRELL DECLINES
TO AID COY. SMITH

Atlanta, July 15.-In one Of the warmest
cards ever passed from one Official to
another in Georgia, Senator Joseph NJ.
Terrell notified Gov. Hoke Smith to-day
that he would not withdraw his resigna-
ton as United States Senator, as re-
quested by the governor, after it was
presented to him Friday afternoon.
Senator Terrell declares it would be pre-
sumptuous for him to return to Washing
ton as a United States Senator after
Gov. Smith has been elected by the legis-
lature to that position, and asserts that
under no consideration would he continue
further to discharge the duties of that
office.
The Senator states to the governor that
IL it is imperative that the later con-
tinue in Georgia as governor, there is a way
for him to accomplish that desire and at
the same time make 1t possible for the
state to be represented by two Senators
in Washington.
.sThe general assembly can elect an
other Senator at once says Terrell. "If
YOU feel that you must stay here, notify
the general assembly that-you win not
accept the Senatorshpi to which you have
been elected by It under the assumption
that you would go on to washington at
once. Then let the general assembly hll
this vacancy, which It can do by Tues
day next. II the Senator so elected
wishes TO DO so. he may relinquish the
discharge of the duties at your win, as
you wish me to do. and you may then
give up the governorship after the ad-
journment Of the present session Of the
general assembly .
Senator Terrell declines to assume the
responsibility Of representing Georgia in
the United States Senate, and puts it
right up TO Gov. Smith.
Senator Terrell bluntly charges that
Smith wants to repain governor while
the legislature Is IN session in order to
play politics.
y win not be party 10 such 3
scheme. says Terrell.

FRAUDS PROBED,
SAYS WICKERSHAM
Statute of Limitations Does
Not Apply to Cases.

Attorney General wickersham yester-
day answered Delegate Wickersham's ac-
cusation that he had permitted the stat
ute Of limitations to bar action against
representatives of the Morgan-Guggen-
helm Alaska syndicate for frauds per-
petrated against the United States gov
ernment, saying the statute of limita-
tions has not barred action.
He said that when the case was first
brought to his attention he sent Stuart
Mcnamara, of the Department OF Jus
tice. to Alaska, together with two as
sistants, to make a thorough investiga-
ton of the case. He also referred the
matter to the United States attorneys
at Seattle. Wash. and Nome, Alaska.
In one letter written by United states
Attorney Todd from Seattle to Mr.. WICK
ersham the statement was made that
the statute of limitations would prevent
criminal action. The Attorney General

letter in his own without verifying the
facts, Mr.. wickersham declared that no
direct assertion was made by him 10
the effect that criminal prosecution mad
been barred, but that 1t was simply
thought that this was so.
A more thorough investigation OF this
question made afterward has shown the
Attorney General that Todd was wrong.
