might have been the study OF bank

And every blessed one Of them was Sir
Herbert himself!
Yes, l smiled. too.
Here he gazed thoughttuny down from
a gilded frame as Hamlet There he
grinned as Falstaf. Again he posed as
Malvono. In another corner he was
crowned as Nero. over the nanteiIiece
he strutted as the Last OF the Dandies.
Just back Of my chair he leered down
upon me as Mephistopheies. while oppo-
site he was clothed In the dignity and
flowing robes Of Cardinal Wolsey.
A huge laurel wreath hung round his
pictured portrayal OF Svengai.
I was getting quite dizzy, turning and
twisting to see all these Trees TO the right

DIR. M'FARLAND SAYS HIS FRIENDS
MUST JUDGE HIS INNOCENCE
OR GUILT BY PAST RECORD.

Greenville, Tenn, Jan. 1S.-Rev. W..
D. Mcfarland, former head OF the
academic department of the Pittsburg
high school, vino was indicted on
Tuesday in connection with the death
of his former secretary, Elsie Dodd
Coe, said this morning:
Il have no statement to make now
| am expecting the officers from Pitts
burg today and | will tell my story
to the grand jury when ] get there.
AS to my innocence or guilt, my
friends will have to judge for them
selves from my record. SO far as !
know, Miss Coe had never wandered
from the path of virtue. She was like
child to me. loved her as / would
love my own daughter"
In answer to further questioning,
Dr. Mcfarland said that he was IN
Pittsburg last fall, when he addressed
a young peoples society. He refused
to state whether he was in Pittsburg
in January, saying that it was no
body's business but his own. DIR. Nc
Farland declared that he had prev1-
ously made frequent visits to Pitts
burg. He also said that he was ac-
quainted with Rollin Mcconnell of
Chicago, who represents local firm
in that. city, and who was also, it is
claimed, mentioned in Miss Goes dy-
ing settlement as being respo lsible
for her condition. But DR.. McEar-
land said he did not know the nature
of McConnell's alleged relations with
Miss Coo.
DR.. McFarland's wife arrived he'e.

NO SETTLEMENT
OF LOCAL STRIKE
HELD YESTERDAY
BUT NO AGREEMENT WAS
REACHED.

The strike Of the local teleph me
operators, which has been on TO-. tue
past three days, has not been settled
and tho Savannah girls, brougn. hers
on the night of the strike, are still
at work in the local exchange.
A conference was held yesterday
morning, attended by various officials
of the telephone company, who are
in the cit yto investigate the trouble,
and the striking operators, but no
agreement was reached and it seems
that after the meeting they were not
any nearer a settlement than before
the conference was held.
The meeting was held for the pur-
pose OF hearing from the girls. The
officials wanted to investigate the
grievance which they had against the
chief operator, which, it Is said,
caused the strike.
The girls submitted their grievance
to the officials, but no decision as to
their position was given out during
the day. 1t is understood, however
that the officials did not consider
the grievances Of a nature which
should have caused strike and tht
chances are that the chief operator
will be upheld by the company.

HE IS IN FAVOR
D F RATIFYING
BOTH TREATIES
SENATOR M'CUMBER SAYS THIS
ACTION WOULD HELP
CIVILIZATION. /
Purely National Questions Would Not
Be Arbitrated-The Panama Canal
Question Would Not Be Affected by
Treaties.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota, appealed to
the senate today TO Immediately ratify
President Taft's arbitration treaties
with England and France without an
amendment. He urged that the terms
of the treaties in no way usurped the
constitutional rights of the senate
nor did they compel the arbitration
of any traditional question of Ameri-
can policy, such as the Monroe doc
trine or the control of immigration.
Ratification of the treatiess, Sena-
tor McCumber declared, would give
to rhe cause Of arbitration such i'm
petus that like treaties would sooM
be made with all civilized nations.

ton to a degree where the great ma
tions will sign compacts wherein they

able to borrow money from other ma
tions to carry on an unjust war.

tics to show that the governments

Prisoner Not Improving.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 18.-While vary
ing reports concerning the condition
of Charles w. Morse have emanated
from official reports to Washington
and from his friends and legal ad-
visers, he is practically the same as
when transferred from the federal
prison to the army hospital at fort
Mcpherson six weeks ago. He has
had several sinking spells which Ase.
cessitated the use of stimulants, but
according to civilian physicians, ne
has been in no immediate danger of
death. His removal to Hot Springs,
Ark, ordered last week, was post
poned on account of his physical
weakness.

MORSE AT LAST
TO GET PARDON
PRESIDENT INFORMED HIS CON-
0ITloN is DESPERATE BY
ARMY PHYSICIANS.


Washington, Jan. 1S.-President
Taft, it is believed, will commute the
tifteen-year sentence OF, Charles w.
Morse. While the white house and
the department of justice are reticent
it was learned on good authority to-
day that the president was about to
act because of the serious physical
condition of the former banker.
The report of Surgeon General Tor
ney of the army on Morse's condition
was laid before President Taft today.
1t is said the conclusion reached was
that Morse's condition was desperate.
]. A. Finch, pardon attorney of the
department of justice, held a long
with the president today.

OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND THE
! STOCKHOLDERS COMING
DOWN ON SPECIAL TRAIN
Forty five or More Prominent Busi-
ness Men of Toledo, O., Interested
in Local Plant, Will Be in the City
Two Days Next Week.

Officers, directors, stockholders and
of the Yaryan Naval Stores company,
will arrive in Brunswick next Mol
day, coming down ON a trip combin-
ing business and pleasure. These
gentlemen are to visit the city for
the purpose of looking over the large
plant which is now in operation and
at rhe same time to meet the people
Of Brunswick.
In the party there will be about
fo7ty-five persons, probably more, and
they will travel from Toledo, the
headquarters of the company, in a
special car. The party will include
many prominent people CT Toledo,
among them being bankers and 9TH
ers high up in the business world of
the Ohio city, who are interested in
the local plant.
These visitors will, while in the
city, entertain and be entertained,and
during the two days that they are
here they will be kept busy seeing
their plant, looking over Brunswick
and her harbor and meeting the peo-
pie of the city
While the program in full has not
yet been prepared an entertainment
committee from among the people OF
the city will be named and two or
three pleasant affairs will be arrang-
ed in honor of the visitors. On Mon
day afternoon, it is planned, big
oyster roast will be given to which
all of the visitors and number of
local people will be invited. On Tues
day a boat ride around the harbor
will be given. 1t is not yet known
but the steamer will probably leave
the city early in the afternoon and
the Ohio people will be given an op-
portunity to see just what Brunswick
has in the way of harbor facilities.
On Monday and Tuesday nights at
the Oglethorpe hotel, it is understood,
many Brunswick business men will be
the guests of the Ohio visitors, who
on both nights, will give receptions
in the parlors of the hostelry, at
which they hope to meet large ma
jority of the business people of the
city.
The coming of these people will be
of much interest to Brunswick They
are the men who own and operate
the largest turpentine plant of the
kind in the world and who have al
ready expended and are to expend in
addition to the plant over half
million dollars. With such a large
investment they are naturally inter
ested in the city and her future and
they will be given most cordial well

GOMEZ UPHELD
At A MEETING
HELD IN CUBA
cUsANs WILL BE GOOD TO PRE-
VENT OCCUPATION OF
UNITED STATES.
Reply of Government to This Coun-
try Will Be Framed and Sent to
Washington Without Delay-No In
terVention at Present.

Havana, Jan. 18.-The reply of the
Cuban government to the note of Sec
retary Knox intimating that the Uni
ted States government might be com
PEELED to intervene in Cuban affairs
probably will be made soon.
An official statement was given out
today regarding the conference last
night at the palace between President
Gomez and representatives of all the
political factions and the veterans.
The statement is as follows:
The meeting terminated with ev-
eryone breathing words of patriotism,
a fact which filled the president with
optimism, because he found in his old
companions in arms and in all the
others present a firm determination
to save the republic, as might be ex-
pected from those protesting their
love for the Cuban fatherland."
Details of the terms of agreement
reached at the conference have not
been given out yet, and possibly they
will be the subject of further confer
ence. 1t is probable, however, that
one of the first actions to be taken
will be the passage by congress of an
act revoking the annullment of the
civil service law and thus putting an
end to the pernicious attempts of the
veterans to divide the Cubans into
classes contrary to the constitution.
Uphold President Gomez.
1t is certain that all those VINO
were present at the meetings at the
palace pledged the interests repre-
sented by them to make every sacri-
flee in order to uphold President Go
mez in his efforts to remove the
faintest justification for American in
tervention.
Col. Orestes Ferrara, speaker of the
house of representatives, after the
conference, said that he was con-
vin:ed that all the trouble was due
to congress trucking to the veterans
by abrogating the civil service law.
Congressman Manuel Secedes, rep
resenting the veterans, said they
would now be satisfied with what
they had already gained, although
they still believed that the presidents
action in forbidding officers to at
tend meetings of the veterans was
unconstitutional.

STILL TRYING TO
GET A CANDIDATE
PAPER HAS STARTED
ITS FIGHT ON CONGRESS-
MAN BRANTLEY.

The Waycross Journal, which, for
reasons probably better known to the
congressman than anyone else, has,
for many months, opposed him in va
rious ways. The Waycross paper has,
from time to time, editorially attack
ed he congressman, and, every time
an election date approaches, it makes
every possible effort to get out a
candidate in opposition to him, but it
has always failed. This year the pa
per is busy on the job again, and
two well known and prominent Way
cross attorneys are being urged to
enter the race The paper is over
anxious to get one of them to an
nounce, and in an article yesterday
stated that within a few days either
Judge T. A. Parker Or w. w. Lamp
din would formally announce.
The paper, in chronicling this piece
of news, takes occasion to- criticise
the congressman and really starts it's
fight on him. However, the attitude
of The Journal is not arousing the
many friends of the local congress
man all over the Eleventh district,
which he has so ably represented for
many years.
The article referred to, published
yesterday, is as follows:
''It is being generally circulated on
the streets in Waycross today by the
friends Of Judge T. A. Parker of the
Waycross superior court circuit, and
by the friends of Hon. w. w. Lamb
