ENGLISH FISHERMEN
REAP GOLDEN HARVEST
Herring on Eastern Coast More
Plentiful Than Ever
Before
BY w. BEACH THOMAS.

-
GREAT YARMOUTH, Dec. 21.-As ii
to compensate for the ruin on the land
the waters off the east coast of England
have yielded such a golden harvest as
no one deemed possible. From September
till today, when the harvest is at its
end. herring have come in draughts that
may be called quite miraculous.
Fishermen were bringing fair guam
titles of herring into Yarmouth in 912
and probably much earlier. But in the
thousand years of the industry never
such a: yield and seldom such a price
have been recorded.
One day a single "drifter," as the
herring boat is most properly named
came into Lowestoft with a load of
100000 herring. OF this lot those which
were sold fresh fetched the unparalleled
price of $40 "oran" (roughly, a thou
sand fish, I found the people along
the coast as excited over the event as
once L found Canadian farmers on the
telegraphed news that "plums have rip
ened at Edmonton" and both were right
to discover significance in the news. The
harvest of this year is equally interest
ing socially, industrially, and from the
point of view of natural history.
We may state, roughly, that this
years harvest has yielded at least 70O,-
O0O, 900 fish. The mind of man is not
capable of realizing a million except by
dividing it into immense units, and the
figure of 70O.00O,0O0 altogether battles
the imagination.

FIELDER SCORES BLEASE
FOR HIS LYNCH SPEECH
Atlanta Attorney Speaks to
'iSoCiety on Jurisprudence"
Terming BIeaSe Anarchist
fRr Associated Pres. }

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-Attorney
Thomas Brown Fielder. OF Atlanta, Ca,
delivered what he termed the south's
answer to Governor Blease." here to-
day before the annual meeting Of the
American Society on Jurisprudence. He
characterized as anarchy" the South
Carolina governors speech in favor or
lynch law before the meeting OF gov
errors at Richmond two weeks ago and
attacked Governor BIease as an "ene-
my OF the south"
Senator Townsend, of Michigan,
presided at the meeting and later
praised Mr.. Felder's remarks.
The Atlanta attorney said he came
all the way to Washington to make a
complete reply on the part of the de-
cent people of the south to the insults
Of Governor Blease."
He declared that the south did not
stand for lynch law and that the peo-
pie of the country ought to know it.
For an officer of the law, Occu-
plying the chief executive chair OF a
great state, to counsel lawlessness in
a high forum Of debate at a time when
the eyes of a nation are. fixed upon him,
constitutes an offense against the maj
esty of the law, the gravity Of which
is without parallel or precedent Mr..
Fielder said. IF the chief executive
Of a state, when the need arises, fails
to call out the militia, he becomes an
anarchist.

KILLED HIS WIFE TO
RELIEVE HER SUFFERING
Doctors Could Not Relieve Suf-
fering, but PoSt-Mortem
Shows Sound Organs
BY HENRI FERRER.
Especial Gable 10 The Journal

PARIS, Dec. 21.-A strange case
which will shortly come before the
French courts brings up again that
most vexed and debateable question as
to weather under any circumstances ii
is justihable to take away human life
In this instance a husband shot his
sick wife dead because he could no
longer bear to see her suffer. The story,
shortly stated, runs like this: M.
Beguery, man of hfty-seven years of
age, honorably known in the world of
business, had an ailing wife. The doc
tors could not diagnose her malady, nor
give her anything to put an end to her
sufferings, which were great and con-
slant.
; The couple were devoted to each other,
and the husband spent himself in wait
ing on his wife. OF late days, however,
her trouble became so accumulated that
she could not sleep because of pain.
One night last week, though her hus-
band had given her a narcotic, she
moaned and writhed in agony, even
though apparently doing. The unhap-
py man watched her until an overpower-
ing pity for her seized him. He pemem-
bered how she had so often begged him
to give her something to end her suf-
fering. He felt it a sacred though terri
BILE duty to end life which was worse
than any death. Taking a revolver, he
shot her dead while she still slept Then
after kneeling at her bedside in prayer
till the morning broke, he went out to
tell the story of the night to the police
I daresay many people would con-
done the fault of this tortured man, if
they would not actually go the length
of commencing him. But the serious
part of the business is that if the law
says he is innocent what chances it will
put in the hands of the INSCRIPTIONS. A
man may say: my wife was suffering
greatly and asked me to kill her, and 1
did So" And who is to say that his
object was to rid himself of her?
But what struck me more than the
actual tragedy-because of the physi-
Geological problem involved-is the evil
dence given by the doctor who made the
post-mortem. After making a careful
ex animation of the woman's body, he
found to his almost incredulous surprise
that all her organs were sound, and
there seemed no apparent reason for the
sufferings she complained of. The only
explanation he could give was that she
must have been a victim of nerves, so
that she imagined she had all sorts of
maladies, while in reality there was
nothing the matter with her.

HISTORY MAY REPEAT IN
BULGARIAN AMBITIONS
King Ferdinand May Take the
Name. of Simeon Il and
Follow Predecessor
BY JULIUS GAsE.
tspeoial cable to The JOurn.


BERLIN, Dec. 21.-The intention at
tributed to King Ferdinand of proclaim
ing himself emperor, with the title of
Simeon II, is, if correct, more than a
little prophetic in the light Of present
events. One has to go very long way
back in history to find Simeon 1, who
ruled over the Bulgarians in the early
part of the tenth century. Neither be-
fore nor since his reign, until the pres
emit day, did Bulgarian arms achieve
sucn sweeping success as under Simeon
I, only to be baffied by Constantinople
itself; and history is now apparently
engaged in giving one of its proverbial
repetitions. Simeon 1 defeated the east
ern emperor, Leo VI, in Macedonia He
captured a great number Of prisoners
but, instead of leading them off into
captivity, he contemptuously sent them
back to Constantinople with their noses
cut off-a favorite practice in those
days. Other victories followed. But al
though there were then no Chatalja
lines, Constantinople proved impregna-
BILE, and what was the dream of Simeon
1000 years ago is today the dream
of the present rule of Bulgaria
Perhaps King Ferdinand's passion for
grandoise titles is partly to be explain
ed by the humiliating experience of the
early part Of his reign. The powers
persistently refused to recognize his
princely rank during the first ten years
of his occupation of the throne of Bull
garia. An amusing story is told of a
visit he paid to mis- uncle, the Due d'Au-
male a member of the house of Bour-
bon. King Ferdinand entered his uncle's
private study one morning without pre-
viously knocking at the door. The due,
annoyed at being interrupted in his
work, looked around flercely at the in
truder. Then, seeing his nephew, he
exclaimed, MY poor Ferdinand, pray
pardon me. 1 am like Europe: I did
not recognize you'll

KNOX TO HANDLE MEXICO
WITHOUT HIS GLOVES
Secretary of State viii Be
Polite, but Firm and
Determined
CBy Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Presenta
ton of the state departments rejoindel
to the Mexican reply to Secretary
Knox's note of last September demand
ing protection for American interests
in Mexico may not take place until after
the holidays.
Secretary Knox is leaving Washington
today for his home at Valley Forge
to be absent until early in January
and the intervening time before he re.
turns probably will be utilized in the
careful preparation of the American
note which in a way is likely to be oil
tinct crisis in the relations between the
two countries.
NOT AN s"ULTIMATUM."
officials disclaim that the note will
be an ''ultimatum," attaching to thai
word it's technical meaning of a demand
which must be completely met by g
specified date. But that the Forthcoming
note, while moderate in terms and dig
nified in character, will deal with the
issues between America and Mexico in
the firmest and most uncompromising
spirit, is fully expected
At the same time Mr.. Knox still has
alton, and the final determination as to
when the note shall be dispatched will
not be known before his actual de-
parture.
The administration has been brought
to this attitude by the Unexpectedly
defiant tone of the Mexican reply to
Secretary Knox's September note. The
secretary had earnestly requested the
Mexico government to take measures to
and property in Mexico, an d
had adduced a long list of instances
where those interests had suffered
enormously.
MUCH RESENTED.
To the surprise of the state depart
ment the Mexican reply was full of re-
sentiment of the secretary's suggestions
and went to the point of impugning
the accuracy of the statement of al
legged facts contained in the secretary's
note. 1t was said that many Of the
Americans who complained of mistreat-
ment were themselves to blame, hav-
ing secretly participated in the rebel
lion, and it was practically intimated
that the entire Orozco uprising would
have been impossible except for Ameri-
can support.
1t was this uncompromising spirit in
the Mexican reply that brought the adj
ministration to the conviction that it
was due to the dignity of this govern
ment that a further presentation be
made to the Mexican government, couch
ed in such language as to place the
flames beyond controversy and to oblige
the Madero government to meet the just
complaints of the United States in a
proper spirit.
CONTINUED DISORDERS.
Reports of continued disorders
throughout Mexico continue to tour into
the state department. The strike situa-
ton at the American mine at Cananea,
Sonora, has not improved but conditions
have grown worse. There appears to be
no protection of life and property in
Durango state. Americans have been
warned to acome into Durango city for
protection.
On Thursday night five banditti at
tackled Santa Isabel ranch. owned by an
American negro colony twenty-five
miles from Durango. Two men were
beaten and two women were attacked.

STUDENTS WILL VISIT
LEGISLATORS FOR FUND
University Boys viii Make
Personal Call on Law-Mak-
erS to Secure Money
Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)

Especial DlSpatch 10 The Journal
ATHENS, Ca. Dec. H.-The students
of the University of Georgia have begun
an organized campaign on the incoming
Georgia legislature that should result in
A5o,0OO6 appropriation for the school
before the solons adjfnrn next summer.
Practically every one or the newly
elected representative viii receive a
visit from one or more of the students
OF the school during the Christmas va
cation. which began Friday.
OF the sum asked 10000 is requested
by the school at large for the building
of new dining tall. a new dormitory,
and the institute IN of central heating
plant. The other $4,000 is asked by the
law school, which is after a badly needed
separate building.
STUDENT BODY MEETS.
A meeting was recently called of the
entire student body for the purpose OF
setting before them the idea of the APP
preparation for dormitory, dining hall
and heating plant. Speeches were made
by Chancellor Barrow, Dean Smelling,
Professor Park and several of the rep
resentative students. The fact was
brought out that the Denmark dining
hall. the last domestic building erected
at the school and put up in 1901, was
built at a time when the enrolment Of
the university was about $50. Now the
registration list bears exactly GO names,
with the result that there are 20 men
on the dining hall waiting list at pres
ent unable to obtain seats at the tables
Similar conditions. of course, prevail in
regard to the dormitories, which, be-
sides being insufficient are also inef-
ficient, being very poorly equipped. Their
main defect as well as that of every
other building on the campus, is that
the college is improperly heated ana
hot water can be obtained nowhere at
the school.
Before the mass meeting adjourned
three-fourths of the boys present had
pledged themselves to see their repre-
sentative in regard to the matter before
the new year. Literature is being sent
out over the state, and placards were
posted all over Athens.
The boys are filled with spontaneous
enthusiasm over the movement.
NEW LAW BUILDING.
The new $4,000 law building. with a
little urging upon the legislators, is a
practical certainty If the legislature
pays any attention to the report of the
university investigating committee which
visited the institution last year-a new
law building was one of their strongest
recommendations.
The present law department is housed
in two small class rooms of the academic
building, which are inadequate for their
purpose. Neither of them will COM
Portable hold more than forty students,
while there are sixty men in the present
junior class alone.
Dean Sylvanus Morris and Colonel
Thomas F. Greene, who are at the helm
Of the department, have begun an or
ganized campaign for the new building.
