Hearing September 8.

New York, Aug 16.-Interest in the
Rosenthal conspiracy and it's core of
police graft cettered today in Gov
ernor Dix's appointment of Supreme
Court Justice Goff to hear the cases
in extraordinary session beginning on
September g. Justice Goff's selection
at this time comes before all the in
dictments in the case have been re-
turned-Becker alone having been in
dicted so far for murder; but the
district attorneys staff regards the
return of the other true bills as a
foregone conclusion. They will be
handed up probably next week after
the testimony of Schepps has beer
heard,
First to be placed on trial, accord
ing to present plans, are the gun
men. Becker's trial probably will
come last.
Justice Goff is especially we'll quail
flied for a sympathetic understand
ing of cases involving police graft. He
was counsel for the now famous LII
Xow committee which uncovered
much crookedness in the department
years ago. He has been assistant dis
trict attorney here. On the bench he
presided in such we'll known cases as
the Kennedy, Patrick and Molineaux
trials.

TRUST-OWNED SHIPS
ARE BARRED IN
THE SENATE
CONFERENCE REPORTS GRANT
ING FREE TOLLS TO CERTAIN
AMERICAN SHIPS WAS ADOPTED
YESTERDAY.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The confer
ence report on the Panama canal bill,
containing the provisions against
'trust-owned' ships and granting free
Golls to certain American vessels was
adopted by the senate today-4S to Is
after futile fight against it, led
by Senator Brandegee, chairman of
the Panama canal committee.
An attempt to prevent Panama ca
nal legislation at this session of con-
tress was made by Senator Brande-
zee, when he presented the confer
Lnce report of the bill,
Senator Brandegee urged that the
report be rejected, the measure al
lowed to go over for the session, and
a committee of the house and senate
appointed to thresh out the problems
| involved. He attacked the bill as it
was finally framed.
Violation of Treaty.
'I believe the biHl rs a violation OF
our treaty obligations with Great Brit
ain, and | cannot vote for it," he
said.
Senator Brandegee condemned the
provision to exclude railroad owned
ships He said it would prevent ships
owned by railroads now under the ju-
commission from using the canal, and
would allow ships owned by foreign
railroads to pass through.
Senators Brandegee and Root
'cona, mned the Reed amendment to
forbid use of the canal by vessels
.''owned, operated or controlled by il
legal monopolies."
Senator Reed, defining the provision
declared it provided vnat any compe-
tent federal court should decide
whether vessel was owned by a vio-
lator of the antitrust law.
Senator Brandegee proposed tenn
porary resolution giving the presi-
dent power to organize the canal
force, to publish maximum canal tolls
Or S1.25 per net ton, arrange for the
wireless telegraph installations and
make provisions for the supply and
repair of ships
Senator Brandegee conceded that
he could not offer the resolution as
substitute for the conference re-
port; but urged that the conference
report and the accompanying canal
bill be voted down.
Il believe it would be public ca
lamity to have this bill passed." he
said.

LABOR CONTRACT LAW
IS HELD TO Be VALID
DECISION OF IMPORTANCE TO
FARMERS MADE BY GgoR-
GIA SUPREME COURT.

Drawing wide distinction between
the Alabama law, recently held un-
constitutional by the United States
supreme court and the Georgia law,
the state supreme court has declared
constitutional Georgias labor con-
tract statute, sometimes called the
peonage law.
The courts decision was made in
the case of Tim Wilson, a Leesburg
negro convicted of misdemeanor for
violation of the contract law. The
case was certified to the supreme
court by the court of appeals.
While general phases of the Geor-
gia statutes have been submitted to
court test before, the decision is the
first handed down by the high court
on the constitutionality question since
the United States court knocked out
the Alabama statutes in the famous
Bailey peonage cases, as violation
of the thirteenth amendment to the
federal constitution.
The Georgia contract labor law
passed in the interests of planters
in 1905 makes it a misdemeanor for
a laborer to refuse to carry out a
contract to perform work for which
money or goods of value have been
advanced. Under the Georgia con-
struction, it must be shown that the
laborer deliberately intended to de-
fraud his employer by accepting con.
tract wages.
Justice Atkinson Of this city, in
writing an opinion in which all Jus
tices concurred, carefully drew dis
tinction between the Alabama law
and the Georgia law, intimating that
the federal court decision did not af-
feet the soundness of the Georgia
law
According to the Bailey decision
the Alabama law made the refusal
to work out labor contract prima
facie evidence Of criminal intent and
allowed the employer making a con
tract with a laborer to receive one
half of the fine imposed in the event
of a conviction for misdemeaAor as
provided by the law.
In discussing the working OF the
Georgia law JUSTICE Atkinson says:

next few days after a weeks sus-
pension, during which the new plant,
which was compelled some time ago,

JUDGE SPENCER R. ATKINSON
ENDORSES JUDGE J.R P0TTLE
THE DISTINGUISHED GEORGIAN
WRITES BRUNSWICK ATTORNEY
WITH REFERENCE TO FITNESS.

The following letter from Judge
Spencer R Atkinson to Judge D. w,
Krauss of this city, endorsing Judge
j. R. Pottle for the court of appeals,
win be Of interest to the voters of
Glynn county:
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. IA, 1912.
Hon. D. w. Krauss,
Brunswick, Ga
My dear Dan: In the Brunswick
News of last Sunday there was print
ed an address by Mr.. Twitty, COM
mending to the people of Glynn coun-
ty, the candidacy of Nash R. Broyles,
Esq, for the office of Judge of the
court of appeals.
Of course, Understand that the ties
of early friendship and college asso-
Citations are not to be overlooked
when it comes to a matter of per-
sonal selection for public office, but
it seems when this selection involves
the choice of man to fill a judicial
office in the administration Of which
a thorough knowledge of and wide ex-
perience IL the administration of the
law is indispensable, such considera-
tion should weigh but little, nor
should purely personal considerations
control the public generally in such
selection.
You have, no doubt; seen, but /
herewith enclose to you a copy of an
address signed by all of the ex-judges
of the supreme court and by a num-
Der of prominent lawyers from vari-
Gus sections of the state, assigning
the reason why Judge Pottle should
be elected to fill the place which he
now holds. l am quite sure that the
lawyers of the state will fully under
stand, if it can be brought to their
attention, that it requires more fun
damental knowledge of the law than
can be acquired by twelve years en-
cumbancy to the office of police mag
istrate of the city of Atlanta, to
equip man adequately for the per-
formance of the duties of this great
office.
l heartily concur in the personal
tribute which Mr.. Twitty pays to
Mr. Broyles. He is a most agreeable
and most amiable gentleman, but be-
yond this upon the point of qualifica-
tion to the office to which he aspires,
his most ardent friend could scarcely
commend him. 1t is never pleasant
to make insidious comparison be-
tween men, and l am sure that with
the lawyers of the state it is unnec-
essary to press further the compari-
son between the qualifications of the
two gentlemen, who aspire to this of
fee. The people, however, may not
understand this situation and I am
writing to ask that you will take this
matter up with other members of the
bar and see to it chat in Judge Pot
ties election to the bench, a man
shall be chosen who by thorough
equipment to the place is we'll quail
fled to discharge all it's duties.
| am sending you, under separate
cover, some literature which I would
thank you to see is widely distributed.
Judge Pottle has received letters from
number of the members of the bar
in Brunswick who have signified their
purpose to actively support him, your
self among the number, and 1 beg
that you will take such steps as that
the people will be fully informed OF
Judge Pottle's qualifications.
With great respect, have the honoi
to be, Very truly your friend,
SPENCER R. ATKINSON.

between the hut and the pilot house,
except by the air. For anything he
knew t o the contrary, Jeanne might
be able to fly. as we'll as Philip, or
he to carry her with him upon his
flights. Consequently, he did MOI sus-
pect, when he saw Cayley take to
fight again, that this action had any
reference to himself; nor that the
who was left alone would be
on her guard against him.
The moment he glimpsed the
shadow of Cayley's wings against the
stars he began making his way, eau
tiously, wei the crusted snow, toward
the pilot house. The door was closed,
but there was a light shining out
through a crack beneath 1t. 1t was a
glass door, but something had been
hung over the glass SO that he could
not see into the interior.
Both Jeanne and Philip had made
the mistake of assuming that the only
way Of access to the pilot house, eys
cent to Philip with his wings was the
