THEIR LOVE FOR MRS. TAFT
Women of Washington VIII Present
Her With $4,000 Diamond Neck
lace as Evidence of Esteem.

Mrs. Taft is not to be permitted to
leave Washington without an ex-
preston on the part of the society
women of the capital of the high es-
TEEN in which they hold her. There
has been nothing sensational in her
career as the first lady of the land.
She, in common with the other MEM
bers of the presidents family, has
seasoned the dignity of her exalted
position with that modesty which
marks true gentility, and has won
the admiration of society in general
and the love of all who were privi-
legged with close association. The
women of Washington have ordered
a diamond necklace, to cost not less
than $4,000, and this will be pre-
sented to her before she leaves the
white house. The gift was to have
come in the nature of a surprise, but
the newspapers learned of it and
made it a matter of general knowl-
edge.

ANIMALS BARRED
FROM THE PARADE
Blue Pencil for the Donkey, and Ele-
plant and Bull Moose Are Also
Drowned Down On.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-There are
to be no democratic or other donkeys
in the inaugural parade on March
4th.
This was decided today at meet
ing of the inaugural committee when
it was asked to pass upon the request
of a Washington man who desired to
lead a donkey garnished with tho
horns of a bull moose and the tusks
of an elephant.
Further, the committee decided,
there should be no animals in the
parade other than horses. This or
der was occasioned by the request
of an organization that proposed to
bring a one-eyed elephant dressed in
a ridiculous fashion. The committee
felt that it would be beneath the dig
nifty of the occasion to permit the
burlesques of this character.
Major General Leonard Wood, the
grand marshal of the big inaugu-
raj procession, announced today that
everything connected with the parade
had been attended to.

Powerful Rombs CRACK walls.

London.-An explosion partially
wrecked the country residence in the
course of construction for David
Lloyd George, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, at Walton Heath near Lon
don this afternoon.
The bomb had been placed in one
of the rooms, and was so powerful
that the thick walls split in all di-
rections and most of the rooms were
wrecked. Two seven pound cans of
black powder also had been placed
among the shavings in other rooms.
The only clew was two broken hat
pins among the wreckage.
1t was declared by nelghbors that
an automobile party of women pass
ed through the village at an early
hour. No one was injured.
The police say the bomb was plac-
ed there either by militant suffra-
gettes or their male sympathizers.
General" Mrs. Drummond declar-
ed the explosion was undoubtedly the
work of women.
She exclaimed: 1T was fine act,
and shows the determination of the
women. l say all power to all kinds
of militancy in the direction of har-
assing cabinet ministers short of TAX
ing human life"

A FiIibuSter Is Planned in the
Senate, and House Members
Are Alarmed.
Affects Many Southern States
Besides Georgia. Wave of
Economy Is Evident.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The alarm
which became manifest in the house
yesterday, when it was learned that a
filibuster in the senate over the pub
l.c buildings bill was at hand, was
accentuated today when Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia announced
that he intended to fight the bill to
its death.
This announcement sent cold chills
down the backs of many house mem
bers who, when the bill passed the
house, sent the word flashing down
the line that they had secured pub
lie buildings for their cities.
Strange as it may seem, the three
men who are most intimately con-
nected with the present wave Of
economy in congress are Representa-
tive Fitzgerald of New York, chair
man of the appropriations committee,
Senator Smith and Representatives
Hardwick and Roddenbery.
Outlook Is Gloomy.
With the situation existing as to
the public buildings bill with the
rivers and harbors bill threatened
with all their might the outlook is
not promising, with less than ten
working days of the present session
of congress remaining.
So far as the South is concerned
South Carolina has four buildings
and a site in the bill, the largest of
which is $225,000 for Columbia;
Georgia is full of items, with $50,
for a building at Dawson and $780,
0CC for StatesoOrc, While Virginia,
North Carolina and Florida have
much at stake.
If Senator Smith continues his
fight against the bill there is no way
of predicting what may happen.
Many kilograms are coming to Sena-
tor Smith asking him to hold up in
his opposition to the buildings bill
from all parts of the country.

BILL PROTECTS La
Dor AND FARMERS
Provision Tackled on to Civil Bill
Frees Them of Prosecution
Under Sherman Law.

WASHINGTON.-Prohibition of
prosecution of labor unions and farm
ers' organizations under the Sherman
act by the department of justice was
written into the sundry civil apprn-
priation bill tonight by the house.
By vote of 80 to % an amend
ment offered by Representative Ham
mill of New Jersey was adopted pro-
viding that no part of an appropria-
ton of 100000 authorized for the
enforcement of the antitrust law
should be expended to prosecute any
voluntary organization of working
men. An amendment offered by
Representative Roddenbery to in
clude farmers cooperative organiza-
tions was also adopted.
Minority Leader Mann, during the
discussion of the bill. took a fling at
the attitude of Representative Ham

time for some indication of the opin-
ion of the president-elect on admins

he. Many have seen Mr.. Wilson.
Evidently those closest to the presi-
dent-elect distrust him. Here is the
gentleman from New Jersey, who has
been closely associated with the in
coming president, who now has a
grave fear that the attorney general
to be appointed by him will miscon-
strue the law"

THE PENALTY OF MILLIONS

They got along pretty well and
reached the Ritz in London without

manager that they were 'in' to no

started shopping a reporter SNAP

After that the deluge came. With
one accord London's myriads of pro-

Americans lacking passage money to
New York swooped down upon the
honeymooning couple. Every Lon
don tradesman having special attrac-
tions, and dozens of milliners, dress
makers and tailors made raid upon
the purse of Fortunatus. Half of the
newspapers in Great Britain wrote
requesting interviews, while the
doorkeepers were kept busy through
out the day turning away reporters
and callers of all kinds. Even the
patient postmen began to remark
the great bags of mail they were re-
quired to carry to Mrs. Shepard.
Hoping that the attentions were only
temporary the Shepards kept indoors
for the first two days, or stole out
of quiet exile. On Thursday morn
ing the climax was reached. Instead
of the nuisance having diminished
the heavy mail bags proved that
their fame had only spread further.
That settled it. They secured an
automobile and escaped. Since then
there has been no word of them
Neither their family nor their friends

Probably as "Mr. and Mrs John
Smith" they are getting along finely,
and are avoiding the embarrassments
which millions bring.

SEVENTY-FlVE BABY SNAKES
Deadly Reptiles Born in Bronx ZOO
Contain Enough Poison to Kill
Whole Mexican Army.

w IlOlC NICAAN<Ah
NEW YORK Seventy-five baby
snakes of the very important brand
known as the lance head, born in
the Bronx Zoo yesterday, are gladly
welcomed, although they are the
most deadly reptile known. Since
the discovery that the venom OF the
lance head had been beneficial in
treating insanity and other brain
trouble, when scientifically used, et-
forts have been made to breed the
reptiles here. The success now at
tanned is the. result of several years
work, in which many of the reptiles
have been taken alive in the Island
of Trinidad at the peril of many nat
uralists only to die soon after being
brought here.
Experts will extract the virulent
venom from the seventy-five baby
lance heads as soon as they are a few
months old.
The method is to pin the head
down with a forked stick and hold
before it a glass bowl topped with
cheesecloth. The snake furiously
buries it's fangs in the cloth and
spurts the venom into the glass re-
ceiver. About a pound of it, it was
said at the zoo, would kill the whole
Mexican army.

GEORGIA WILL
BE REPRESENTED
A Number of Women From This
State VIII Participate in Spectac-
uIar Parade in Washington.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Not Tess than
half a dozen Atlanta women, and
probably a score or more from GeOr-
gia, will take part in the spectacular
suffragette parade in Washington on
March 4th, which is going to be a
feature of the Wilson inauguration.
The suffragette movement, which
was regarded as joke so far as
Georgia and the Southern states were
concerned a few years ago, is undeni-
ably making some headway-not
much, but some. At least one wo-
man out of every thousand in Atlanta
IS already a convert to the suffragette
movement, but fortunately for plate
glass windows, mail boxes and public
officials none of them are yet mill
tant.

Taft Getting His SniCkerSnee
Ready TO Kill the Big APP
preparation Bills.
President Opposes On Ground
of Extravaganza. Demo-
Gratis to FiIibuSter.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Another
alarm has taken possession of the
friends of rivers and harbors and
public buildings appropriations bills
in congress.
President Taft has threatened to
veto both measures on the ground OF
extravaganza, and leading democrat
ic senators have served notice that
they will filibuster against one if not
the other rather than have repub-
Iican president, by radical action, re-
deem a democratic campaign pledge.
There is scarcely a congressional
district in the United States that is
not interested directly in one of the
other of the big appropriation bills.
and if such filibuster is inaugural
ed one of the most spectacular parlia-
mentary fights witnessed in congress
in recent years will be the result.
Strong limitations have reached
the capitol from the white house that
the president seriously considers the
advisability of vetoing both of these
bills. This caused the first uneasi-
ness, and resulted at once in the de-
cision of several democrats to filibus-
ter against the public buildings bill
in the senate, tying up its passage
there and rendering it impossible for
~ ,,roc;d op+ IN veto If
Might Sign One Bill.
Should the public buildings bill
fail to reach the white house it is
most unlikely that the president
would veto the rivers and harbors
bill by itself.
At least this is the theory upon
which the proposed filibuster is pred
icated.
Taken as a whole, the situation in
congress with "egard to appropria-
tons is most acute. The house seems
to be running away with itself in
spite of the volume of criticism that
is being heaped upon that body by
the country.
The pension bill carrying $780,
100000 is the latest measure to come
up, and in few days naval bill
calling for two battleships will be
reported out of the house committee.
The most persistent pressure is be
ing brought to bear upon both the
house and senate in favor of two bat
tleships, and it is even charged that
the president is holding his vetoes
over public buildings and waterways
in an effort to force an approppria-
ton for two or even three dread
naughts at this session.

MOUNTAIN DEW
POURED IN SEWER
Government Yields to Objections of
PrOhibitionistS and Doesn't Offer
Whiskey for Sale.

ATLANTA.-Five hundred gallons
of Georgia whiskey, made in the hills
and hollows of mountains, were turn
ed into the Orme street sewer yester-
day morning by Henry S. Jackson,
collector of internal revenue for
Georgia.
And as the barrels, casks, jugs and
bottles were emptied over the man
hole in the basement of the federal
building nearly half a hundred color
ed employees of the government were
begging Deputy Collector Fairbanks
for Just a taste of that good old
stuff going to waste in sewer that
can't appreciate it,
For two years past the liquor,
some in barrels, some in kegs, some
in copper vessels, some in jugs-and
made in the mountains, too-and
some in bottles, the Illicit whiskey
has been accumulated by revenue Of
ficers' raids in the mountains and
has been deposited in a large storage
room in the basement of the federal
building, awaiting Instructions from
the department in Washington.
In the past the collector of inter
nal revenue has been advertising the
accumulation for sale, but two years
ago the prohibitionists raised an OBJ
lection. The government Tuesday
authorized the collector to get rid
of the liquor by the sewer route.

TWO WHITE MEN ARE IN JAIL

Coop on Charges of Forgery.

Coop on Charges OF Forgery
The Leader says two white men
were jailed at Cuthbert Tuesday
night, each being charged with forg-
cry. Their names are Sam Pittman
and Simon Ferris, or something SIM
liar.
Pittman is a resident of Blakely,
but lived at Benevolence two or three
years ago. He is accused of getting
a suit of clothes from w. 0. Taylor
on a forged order He had been
indicted and was under bond, but
skipped. He was arrested few days
ago at Sparks.
Ferris is charged with having forg-
ed an order on A. Jones with which
he secured $500 from John Shep-
ard. He is a banana dealer of for
eign birth, and was arrested at Al
bany. He waived commitment trial
and his bond was assessed at 500,
which he has not made.
