Brother In-Law
Vowed Vengeance.

He simply declared that he was going
TO Sc that the girls wrongs were
avenged. His first step was to resort
to law. When he had failed TO prove
that the girls death had resulted from
poison given her by her sweetheart he
resorted to arms.
Sunday he met Tan Cleghorn on an
Ashburn street. His shotgun spoke and
Cleghorr fell, dead his friends thought.
1t was afterwards declared that he
would survive.
Cochran was not satisfied. When he
was released on bond. he reloaded that
same gun. Feeling was at that time
unning high between the Cleghorns,
the Cochrans and the Marchmans.
Today when Cochran left his home
with shotgun on his shoulder he was
accompanied by Lee Marchman. Both
knew the mission on which they We're
bent
The Cleghorn brothers were encoun-
tered A fusillade followed. When the
smoke cleared the brothers were being
takn away and physicians declared they
could not live.

Speaker at Panama Conference
Declares Excessive Tolls
Will Mean Slow Benefits.

The Monroe doctrine rapidly is be-
coming American doctrine.
The time is coming when, if a nation
of Europe attacks the United States,
the countries of South America will
join Uncle Sam in the defense of the
country, standing back to back until
the struggle is ended. The great canal
which will. divide North and South
America physically shall weld them
together in sentiment and mutual in
terest."
Cheers greeted this remark at the
Panama canal conference today, when
John Barrett, director general of the
Pan American union, and the only in
ternational representative in the world,
spoke on the canal and it's meaning 20
the South.
Mr.. Barrett, who since boybood has
travelled through the Latin American
countries and the Far East as minister
and special envoy was enthusiastic
over the tremendous development of
trade which the canal will make posi-
BILE.
U. S. Not Prepared, He Says.
But at the same time he sounded a
note II warping against expecting too
much to come at first and without eff
fort. He inveighed against the pro-
posed high rate Of canal tolls and the
small preparation by American inter
ests in building ships for the new
traffic.
The eight ministers representing
South American republics who were
expected today did not arrive, but three
members of Latin-American legations
arrived with Mr.. Barrett. They were
Julian Moreno Lucalle, secretary of the
American union; j. e. Lcfevre, OF
Panama's legation in Washington, and
Caesar Barranco, vice consul from
Cuba.
Noted Men in Attendance.
Mr.. Barrett paid high tribute to all
three as representing the very highest
development of their respective Coun-
tries. None of the three spoke at the

GOVERNOR TO GRANT
BUT FEW CHRISTMAS
PARDONS THIS YEAR

Governor Brown has lost patience.
more or less. because of the avalanche
Of applications for Christmas pardons
recently precipitated upon the executive
department.
He has not been moved profoundly BY
the very great majority of them. In
fact the swapping of the executive
mail has had quite the opposite effect.
Discussing this matter today the
governor said:
81 deem it proper to say that | can
not make the pardoning power an as
set for personal popularity. I was not
elected by the people of Georgia to so
use their executive office as to earn tho
name Of being a merciful govrnor on
the contrary, was chosen by the peo-
pie to be just governor; and by no
means can more deservedly hold the
latter title than by upholding the de-
crees of the courts | can not suggest
to the courts what penalties shall be
applied to lawbreakers but | can en-
force the judgments of the courts to
the extent that I can refuse to place
executive clemeucy between the judg
ments of the courts and the criminal
elements upon whom those judgments
are pronounced.
For the above reason, ! must state
that / can not consent to interrupt the
process OF the laws OF Georgia during
the Christmas season any more than
any other period of the year"

o Cornell Calls it
Important Resolution. "

The acting chairman, James O'Con
nell. second vice president OF the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, declared:
This is very important resolution
because it practically prohibits the en-

The resolution condemning the l. an
N. follows:
Whereas, in these days of sigan-
tic trusts and monopolies which
control the production Of wealth
and it's distribution, it is generally
conceded that the working people
have the lawful and indisputable
right to organize for the purpose of
protecting their wage and working
conditions and their general well
fare, Working along such lines, it
can be Justly said that labor organ
izatfons have lifted men from de-
spondency, gloom and fear to q new
life of light and joy, doing a good
work for God, humanity and socie-
ty; and,
Whereas, the exception to the
rule is the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company, which has for
the past seventeen 40 years pur-
sued a cruel and vigorous crusade
against its employees should they
become members of a labor organi-
cation. In it's intense hatred and
enmity Of labor organizations the
gigantic monopoly known as the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company has made thousands Of
men, women and little children

the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road Company to crush the employ
ees should they join labor organ

Wrangle Over Trustee
For Cafe Republique

Counsel for creditors Of the Columbia
Cafe Company, which conducted the
Cafe Repuplique, are in a wrangle over
the appointment of a trustee, and at
the meeting held today action was post
poned until Friday.
Claims aggregating more than $50 900
were presented and proved at the meet

pending the outcome of a controversy
between two sets of claimants The
debts of the bankrupt company amount
to $l22, SS2. &c. and the creditors will Sc

CLERKS WHO LOST
PLACES WILL GET
ANOTHER CHANCE
Preference to Be Given Them
in Work of Mailing Docu-
ments Transferred.

Announcement was made today in the
Office of Public Printer Donnelly that
in taking on employees to do the work of
mailing and distributing Government
publications, formerly done by the sew
eral departments themselves, preference
will be given to the mailers and dis
tributors Of the departments who viii
lost their places October because OF
the change in mailing. It was further
announced that when Congress meets in
December and application is made. as
expected, for an increase In the number
of employees of the lower grades In the
Government Printing Office, opportunity
probably will arise to care for those
mailers and distributors who cannot be
employed on the first Of next month by
the Printing Office.
This announcement means, It is be-
| lieved, that nearly all of the sitxy en-
ployes Of the Department OF Agriculture
and q smaller number in other depart
| ments who will be decapitated October
1 stand good chance to get other Jobs
In the Printing Office-some Of them on
that date and other toward the end OF
| the year.
Simultaneous with this announcement
the Government Printing Office notified
| the departments that 1t was ready to-
day to begin the work of taking over
and storing the publications which are
kept on file. and the work Of transfer
began from the Department Of Agricul-
ture and the Department OF Commerce
and Labor.
| Not less than 100000 copies Of publi-
cations Of all kinds are being moved
from the Department Of Agriculture,
which does far and away the largest
publishing business OF all the depart
ments In order to meet demands the
Agr,heuitural AZ Department has to keep
on hand thousands of copies of the
farmers. bulletins and thousands OF
| such publications as the so-called Uncle
sans cook books. There are 1000 titles
OF publications, the editions Of which
run from 100 copies to $4,000.
Work Of transferring these 100000
books and pamphlets will take some
days In spite Of the use of a great
number OF horses and wagons. and the
digious, besides the physical labor in
volved. The Government Printing Office
oniclais are storing Its new library in
the old building on the corner Of North
Capitol and II streets.
Some concern has been expressed by
department of Agriculture officials that
the older Of the employees who are to
be let out by the provisions Of the leg
ferred the mailing work, will find diffl-
ulty locating again in the Government
service. The younger of these en-
yes will have no difficulty In getting
Jobs, 1t Is said, because they are not
only able but have some experience
but in the hiring Of new employees by
the Government Printing Office It Is
feared that the old men and women who
look less efficient may be passed over.
Today's statement from the office
OF the Public Printer will allay those
fears In part. The preference in all
cases Is to be given the former en-
ployes, 1t Is announced, and the only
danger Is tina tfewer men and women
VIII be needed now that one office is
to do all the distributing instead OF
several.

Denmark to Have
American Ideas

Advanced American ideas on agri-
culture and methods of scientific farm
ing are to be taken to Denmark by
Holgar Mollgaard, professor of the
Royal Veterinary College of Copen-
hagen. DR.. Mollgaard has been in
daily conference with officials of the
Department of Agriculture since the
convenng in Washington of the Inter-
national Congress of Applied Chemis-
try, to which he is a delegate.
Though Denmark has been practicing
intensive farming for many years,
Prof. Mollgaard said; the Danes are
just beginning to practice scientific
farming on the latter day methods be-
ing introduced by the Department of
Agriculture in America. The Danish
farmers are somewhat behind the
times, but owing to the limited area
have always had through intensive cul-
t!vation a higher yield per acre than
is usual in the United States.
Farming, he said, is Denmark's most
important industry, and Danish butter
has a world wide reputation. 1t is
practically the only farm product that
produce is kept at home. The Danes
have few cattle. and beef prices are
as high there as they are in the United
States, though hogs are plentiful They
also have to contend with the foot and
mouth disease, which Is prevalent in
the United State to some extent, but
the disease is by no means as deadly
in the northern peninsula as 1t Is here.
When DR.. Mollgaard returns to his
native country he will carry the latest
American advances in agriculture.
