elect Wilson announced last night that

thals, chief engineer of the Panama

Mr.. Wilson. Il have delayed only to
get day convenient with him.
The day was one of many confer
ences. Senator-elect Ollie James, OF
Kentucky came to express his views
on what legislation the extra session
should take up and what he thought
of certain cabinet suggestions in MIR.
Wilson's mind.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, lunched
with the governor and brought him
the latest information from the va
rious states in which senatorial con-
tests are being waged. The senator
said the bill he had introduced to IN
crease the membership Of the United

ion of the conferences that be had

Vigorous Campaign

Waycross, Ga, Jan. ia vigorous
trade at home" campaign is going to
be inaugurated here this month, and
the people of Waycross and the coun-
try surrounding will be shown that

chants. The matter will be presented
to the Board of Trade before the
month ends and resolutions calling on
the people to help build up Waycross

badly be adopted.

possible for Waycross merchants to
branch out considerably in their busi-
ness and it is reported that several Of
the local stores are figuring seriously
on adding mail order departments to
handle the out-of-town business. A
Jacksonville concern has just leased I
store in the heart of the city for five

FIREBUGS HAVE
FUND TO BRIBE
PROSECUTORS?
PROBE OF larson RING"
In Chicago Brings Indictment
For Bribery

Chicago, Jan 16.-Investigation IN
to Chicago's alleged arson ring" de-
veloped new angle today when the
prosecutor turned his attention to the
alleged existence of a "slush fund
believed to have been raised to bribe
officials to prevent prosecution OF
persons charged with incendiarism.
The fund is said to aggregate many
thousands of dollars and according t0
evidence from one witness, agents OF
the ring" frequently had boasted that
almost any case of arson could be
fixed"
The inquiry was begun yesterday
after Joseph Clarke, a fire insurance
adjustor, had been arrested charged
with attempting to bribe an assistant
states attorney to prevent indictments
in the cases of two men charged with
arson.
States Attorney Hoyne declared that
the home office of the fire insurance
companies was involved in the plot
with the adjustors. He said these
companies made no serious effort 70
stop incendiary fires, because this
class of losses offered them an
excuse to increase rates.
An indictment charging Clark with
bribery has been returned by the
grand jury.

MRS. FLANDERS
Will FACE TRIAL
NEXT april
POsTPONENENT IS GRANTED
Of Trial of Woman Held for
Husbands Death

Swainsboro, Ca, Jan 16-The case
Of Mrs. Matte Flanders, charged with
completely in the murder of her hus-
band, Fred Flanders, two years ago,
for which alleged crime Dr. w. J.
McNaughton has been under sentence
Of death for some time, was called in
Emanuel superior court yesterday, and
on request of counsel for the state,
continued until the April term of the
court, when it has been agreed be-
tween opposing counsel the case viii
go to trial.
Mrs. Flanders was jointly indicted
with DR.. McNaughton for the death of
her husband by poisoning on June (,
1910, traces of arsenic having been
found in the dead mans stomach. DR..
McNaughton, who it is alleged, had
been on intimate terms with Mrs.
Flanders, was convicted of the murder
on October 10, 1910, and sentenced TO
be hanged He is now in Jail at Sa-
vannah, while Mrs. Flanders is at lib
erty on bail.
The intense interest in the case is
accentuated by the fact that the life
of the convicted physician depends II
a measure upon the trial of Mrs. Flan-
ders. If she is found guilty, then, as
far as can be seen, the sentence of
death for DR.. McNaughton, will be
speedily carried into effect. On the
other hand, if she be acquitted, there
is hope for McNaughton, either
through pardon or commutation of
sentence.

ALLEGED HOTELS"
CAN NOT run
3 Boarding Houses Closed in
Atlanta By Police

Atlanta, Jan. 16-Following a raid by
plain clothes men during the past few
days the Hayes hotel, As IL Hunter
street, was forced to close its doors
yesterday, and two days notice t 0
close was given to the proprietors Of
two other places, after they had been
bound over to the grand jury in re-
corder's court on the charge of keep
ing disorderly house. The two last
places were the Morris hotel, adjoin-
ing the Hayes hotel, and the Broad
way hotel on North Broad street.
This will be the plan of Chief Of
Police Beavers in the future, who said
yesterday morning that he was on
the lookout for keepers of alleged
houses, who might get a license from
council and use it as a blind to run
a disorderly house.
They may open,' said the chief,
"but as certain as the get disorderly,
and we find it out, I'll see that they
are brought to court.
The chief then stated that there has
recently been an influx of old habitues
of the restricted district. They evi-
IDENTIFY came back under a misrepr9-
sentation of the ia is. Some one must
have told them that the houses were
to be re-opened on the first Of the year,
and whoever started such a rumor did
these people harm. The houses will
never be opened again as long as am
chief, and l want them to know that
my hat is still in the ring" said the
chief with much emphasis.
The chief then explained that his
uleH WOulu COuClHue W lufSSLl5dtS al
places reported as disorderly, and
when it was found that they were as
reported, that his men would make a
raid. How many places he had listed
for investigation, he declined to say,
but smiled when he said that he was
not sleeping on the job.
In the recent raids, with the excer-
ton of one case, all the men and wom-
en- found in the places were fined
$25.75 by the recorder. The charge
was changed from that of "disorder-ls
conduct" to "ocucpying a portion of a
disorderly house" This was done al
the request of Judge Broyles, Some
paid their fines while others are now
de- & time in the stockade.
Considerable complaint has recent
ly been made concerning the se-call'
ed "wide-open' hotels and the action
of Chief Reavers in closing them III
wherever possible is being very gen
orally commended.
