BREAKS OUT IN NEW SPOT

Saws Contempt Decision Has Been
Much Altered. LampOOns Judge
Hill and Challenges Him to Re-

ATLANTA.-Judge A. w. Fite of
the Cherokee circuit, recently fined
for contempt by the state court of APP
peals because of severe criticisms
passed upon that court in connection
with the reversal of one of his decis-
ions, comes out today in another IL
rade against that court, in which he
is as severe as ever.
Evidently still smarting under the
action of the court of appeals Judge
Fite makes the publication of the
courts opinion in the contempt case
the occasion for his further attack.
In his statement he asserts that the
courts opinion as published in the
Southeastern Reporter is quite differ
ent from the one rendered by the
court.

ion then delivered, and which had
evidently been previously pre-
pared, as to make it more a self
laudatory and political harangue and
TRADE of personal abuse than judi
cial opinion, and 1 will not let it
pass without protest
Judge Fite directs his attack espe-
cially against Judge B. H. Hill of the
court of appeals, and after giving his
version of a number of statements in
the opinion he challenges Judge Hill
to resign along with him, both to go
on the stump and fight it out before
the people of the stae.
Let the people decide" Judge Fite
says, who has dragged the judicial
robes through the mire of personal
venom, injustice and SANDER"
Judge Fite declares that he was
within his constitutional rights in
, oharacterizing the court of appeals
/ as incompetent.
Judge Hill said he had no comment
to make upon Judge Fite's outbreak.
He says the record of the contempt
hearing has been correctly published
in the Southeastern Reporter, and the
court stands on it as it appears, hav-
ing nothing to add to or take from
it.
Asked about Judge Fite's chal

Man Who Had One Turned Over to
Higher Court by Judge BrOyles.
ATLANTA.-If Police Court Re-
corder Broyles is sustained by the
higher courts it will be against the
law in Georgia to carry even a toy
pistol without license.
On Christmas J. K Minton, who
had a toy pistol, fired it, supposedly
in fun, at a fourteen-year-old boy,
Tommy Prather, with the result that
a piece of paper wadding penetrated
the boys face and had to be picked
out by surgeon.
The recorder not only fined Minton
$50, but bound him over for the high
er court on the charge of carrying
pistol without a license. The weapon
in question was only four inches long,
and designed to shoot only blank
cartridges.
1t will be the first time that the
legality of carrying toy pistol has
been brought up in the courts.

ABOUT EXTRA SESSION
LEADER UNDERWOOD AND PRES
IDENT-ELECT WILSON HAVE
A LENGTHY CONFAB.
DATE WAS NOT DECIDED

They Discussed Legislation and the
Cabinet, and Agree That Congress
Should Be Convened Again Early
After Present Session AdjOurns.
TRENTON, N. -President-elect
Wilson finished his political activities
for the year 1912 by completing to-
day the series of conferences he
planned soon after the election with
leaders of the democratic party.
The president-elect had long talk
with Oscar w. Underwood, democrat
ic leader of the house of representa-
tives, discussing principally plans for
tariff revision, but nothing definite
came from either man after the con-
ference to indicate what particular
schedules would be taken up or other
details of what may be expected in
the coming extra session.
Governor Wilson said he merely
had asked and obtained from Mr.. I'm
derwood what he sought from w. j.
Bryan and Speaker Clark-with
whom he previously had conferred
his views and opinions about the per-
sonnet of the administration and leg
islative policies.
''Mr. Underwood and l." said Mr.
Wilson, went through the process
of consultation that l adopted with
the other men who have been to see
me. l asked his advice as to men
and measures. We spent most of the
time outlining and discussing the
pros and cons of the programme for
the extra session"
Extra Session Date.
Here Mr.. Wilson was asked if a
date was decided upon for the extra
session.
eve took up that only casually"
was the reply Mr.. Underwood
thought, as we all think, that the
earlier it is called the better"
When Mr. Underwood left the gov
ernor's office he declined to mention
specific things he had talked about.
'I'd prefer to leave that to the
governor" he said. Il had very
satisfactory talk and very pleasant
one. 1t was largely about what will
come up at the extra session and not
so much about the cabinet"
Will Be No Trouble.
Mr.. Underwood was asked whether
there would be any factional troub-
les in the house and whether in view
of Mr.. Bryan's opposition to him ear
ly last year any dissension was ex-
pected. There won't be any troub-
le," he said. You remember the
wooden schedule when there was only
one vote against newell, that per-
haps might represent what factional
difficulties there are. The friends OF
Mr.. Bryan, l should say, are very
likely to be friends of President Will
SON"
Mr. Underwood said he expected
the tariff to be thoroughly consider
ed from top to bottom.
1t was the first time Mr.. Under
wood had conferred with Governor
Wilson since July, shortly after the
Baltimore convention. Since that
time, however, there has been FREE

There Is a Chance That the Senate
May Gain Few More Democrats.
Preparing to Carry Out Democratic
Platform as to Philippines.

TRENTON, N. J.-President-elect
Wilson today manifested keen inter
est in the possibility that the present
scant majority which the democrats
are calculated to have in the United
States senate might be comfortably
increased when the legislatures of
number of states convene next
month.
Mr.. Wilson conferred during the
day at the state house here with ).
Hamilton Lewis, choice of the demo-
cratic primaries in Illinois for United
States senator, and Senator Luke Lea
of Tennessee on the senatorial situa-
ton. and it is understood he will be
informed in the near future by other
democratic leaders in congress of
what may be expected from the legis-
latures.
Mr.. Lewis told Mr.. Wilson that
there was a good chance of getting
two democratic senators from Hi
nois. informing him that while the
newly elected progressives held the
balance of power he thought some
among them would support the dem
ocratic choice on the theory that the
state of Illinois had, by popular
vote, put itself on record for a VIII
son administration.

Mr.. Lewis suggested 20 the presl-
dent-elect that it might even be
openly understood that patriotic men
who would give him the support OF
two senators would be regarded as
worthy of proper reward and recogni-
ton in the distribution of minority
patronage"

May l not say in passing, that a
Governor with the best intentions pos
sible, will be powerless to maintain
the advantages gained for the people

supported by a Legislature uncon-

JERSEY CITY, N. J., July 26.-
Former Assemblyman William S.
Davidson, of this city. issued this
statement yesterday. when he learned
of former Mayor Wittpenn's with
drawal from the gubernatorial con-
test:
president Wilson, who has had
much to do with the withdrawal of
former Mayor Wittpenn from the
Democratic Gubernatorial race. is one
of the most remarkable politicians of
recent times.
HE is a man of clear vision. very
C, ,d-blooded, and he is also a man of
equivocation, that is, there is a double
meaning to much that he says.
Another attribute of Wilson is that
he does not stand by his friends.
Now l hold no brief for Wittpenn,
although l was one of the first to
come out for Wittpenn for Governor,
but / merely wish to remark that
Wittpenn Is the latest to find out by

litical contests.
