Troops with fixed bayonnts guarded
the court house and mounted cos.
sacks with drawn sabers patroled TIA

When the verdict was announced. n
roar of protest went up from the
crowd that jammed the little court
room. which was quickly taken up by
the throng that surrounded the court
house.
Accused Breaks Down.
Bells, half fainting from fear and
excitement, broke down completely
when ne heard the verdict that made
him free man again after almost
three years.
Bells uttered cry of thankfulness.
and then began to weep. His counsel
supported him on either side, and
armed soldiers escorted the jew to his
home, where his anxious wife and lit.

CHANGES ARE RUMORED.
HEARS THAT IT
WILL NOT BE SMOOTH SAIL
ING FOR TARIFF BILL.
METAL SCHEDULE CHANGED

Vote win Be Exceedingly Close in
the Senate on the Wool and Sugar
Schedules and Vice President Mar
shaIl's Ballot May Decide 1t.
WASHINGTON. D. C.-Wool and
sugar, the stumbling blocks of the
tariff, held the attention of the SEN
ate finance subcommittee and sena-
tors in general today, the legislative
air being filled with rumors OF con-
templated changes and alliances and
counter rumors of a further tighten
ing of the administration forces for
free wool and free sugar in three
years. Great interest was attached
to a public statement made by Sena-
tor Walsh of Montana condemning
the proposition TO put wool and sugar
on the free list, which gave rise TO
report that he might join with Sena-
tors Ransdell and Thornton of Louis
lana and vote against the bill.
In that case, the senate democratic
majority being only six, the vote on
the tariff bill would be a tie, necessi-
tating the vote of Vice President
Marshall to pass it. Should this de-
velop there are some democrats who
believe that Senator Poindexter of
Washington, the only avowed pro-
gressive in the senate, would vote
with them on the bill This would
give leeway for another democrat to
desert in the final vote.
Struggle Coming in Caucus.
Administration leaders declared
today that the situation relating to
the much disputed schedules looked
very favorable for the Underwood
bill, but they look forward to an in
teresting session in the party caucus
when the Southern and Western rep
Iresentatives will have an opportunity
to make a determined struggle
against free wool and free sugar. A
rumor that several of them would
unite to remain out of the caucus
was denied by party leaders, though
one of them declared that he would
not blame Senator Walsh should he
determine to stay out if it became
apparent that the caucus would not
| yield on sugar and wool.

Governor Brown Speaks to Military
in Albany, and Makes Strong
Plea for Law and Order.

ALBANY. Ga.-After the exercises
were over at the auditorium Cavern
or Brown was invited to the armory
of the Albany Guards and there he
made them a short talk along lines
that reflected credit upon him as the
chief executive of great state and
gave inspiration to the company.
After four years in office Governor
Brown has established a record for
enforcing the laws of the state, and
he stated 10 the company that one of
the chief pleasures he has derived
from his tenure of Office was to note
the development of the National
Guard of Georgia from former ideas
to a more business-like basis.
He assured them that the purpose
of the National Guard was important
and honorable. and that they could
rely upon the full support of the eX-
ecutive department in any action il
might be necessary to take to dis
charge the duties imposed upon
them. He wanted it understood that
the military was necessary to the
maintenance of this state and that it
had the encouragement and loyalty
of every high-minded, patriotic, law
abiding citizen of the commonwealth.
He also thanked them for their SER
vice to the county.

The passing of such leaders as

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Politics is

a policy which involves the expendi

have played a considerable part in
politics in that this has happened in
relation to leprosy is beyond doubt.
1T is believed, however, that the
general appreciation of the serious
ness of the problem, which has be-
come manifest in recent years, is go

the field of political activity"
DR.. Mccoy describes Molokai, the
leper settlement, as a veritable gar

LOOK AT YOUR So BILLS.
A Dangerous Counterfeit Is in Circu-
Iation in Georgia.

A dangerous counterfeit five dol
lar certificate is in circulation in this
state, and many of them are passing
current, despite the vigilance of the
United States authorities. The notes
are Indian certificates, almost perfect
limitations of the genuine ones, and
many of them are finding their way
even through the banks and sub
treasures. The secret service opera
tors have redoubled their efforts to
find the counterfeiter. The notes are
printed on genuine paper obtained
by washing one dollar bills.
Government officials believe that
the maker of the notes is the same
counterfeiter who for months circu-
lated bogus one dollar bills in
number of eastern cities.
Local experts say that these notes
are the hardest to detect that they
have ever been up against.
