USE OF FICTITIOUS
NAME DOESN'T SAVE
FORGER IN GEORGIA

Despite the fact that lawyers argued
that Georgia has no law against a
mans signing fictitious names to
checks so long as he does not forge the
name of a real person, Judge Ellis this
afternoon decided that A. r. Saffold
must serve the siX-year term given him
by the superior court some time ago.
S9ffold was charged with obtaining
money from banks by cashing checks
signed with the names Of purely ficti
tious personages. He was convicted
and sentenced. but held in the county
Jail awaiting action on habeas corpus
proceedings.
These came up today, and despite
the technical argument presented, Judge
Ellis held that Saffold had received the
money under fraudulent circums tances
and the sentence must stand.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-President

The president urges strongly on con-

here and abroad. He says:
Il strongly desire TO reduce duties,
provided that the protection system be
maintained and the industries now es-
tablished be not destroyed
Il appeal to congress to reconsider
this measure which now return with
out my approval and adopt a substi-
tute therefor, making substantial re-
auctions without destroying any estab-
Hshed industry, which l will promptly
approve.
I'm view of the platform on which I
was elected and in view of my promise
to maintain a protective policy. no

Though the pope's physicians had
feared the effect of the ceremonies on
the pontiff, he went through with them
without showing any indication of
breaking down.
In the presence of the members of the
Sacred college and a host of other dig

Of the chapel wearing the massive triple

Bombardment or Dynamiting
of Forts-People in Panic.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 1.-Two
violent earthquake shocks. which
caused widespread alarm and heavy
damage, were felt here early today.
The tremors began at 1924 o'clock and
lasted several seconds.
SO sharp were the undulations that
some of the residents of the city were
thrown from their beds. Terrified citi-
zens fled to the streets in their night
clothing.
Some one started a report that an
Italian fleet had gained entrance to the
Bosphorus and had either commenced a
terrific bombardment or was using dy-
Mantle to destroy the forts. The re-
ports added to the terror and many fled
from the city, without taking time to
dress
Walls and chimneys were shaken
down by the shock and numerous per-
sons were injured by flying Wreckage.

Urged Reduction of
Excess Schedules. -

"On December 20. 1911. | sent a mes
sage TO the congress. recommending a
prompt revision of the tariff on wool
and woolens. I urged a reduction of
duties which should remove all the
excuses and inequalities of the sched-
ule but should leave a degree of pro-
lection adequate to maintain the con-
tinued employment Of machinery and
labor already established in that great
industry With that message I trans
mitted a report of the tariff board which
furnished for the first time the infor-
nation needed to frame a revision bill
Of this character, and recommended that
legislation should at once be under
taken in the light Of this informa-
ton.
Instead of such a measure Of thor
ough and genuine revision, based on
full information of the facts. and with
rates properly adjusted to all the diff
ferent stages of the industry, there is
now presented for my approval a bill
Identical with the one which l vetoed in
August. 1911. before the report of the
tariff board was made. The tariff
boards report fully and completely JUS
tifes my veto of that date. The amount
Of ad valorem duty necessary to off
set the difference in the cost of pro-
duction of raw wool mere and abroad
varies with every grade of wool. Con-
sequently an ad valOrem rate of duty
adjusted to meet the difference in the
cost of production of high priced woods
is not protective to low priced woods.
In any case. the report of the tariff
board shows that the ad valOrem duty
of % per cent on raw wool. imposed in
the bill now submitted to me is made
Quate to meet this difference in cost in
the case of four ffths Of our total wool
clip. The disastrous effect upon the
business Of our farmers engaged in wool
raising can not be more clearly stated.
To maintain the status quo in the wool
growing industry, the minimum ad
valorem rate necessary even for high
grade wool in years of high prices
would be 35 per cent
The great increase in the imports
