A generous portion of real estate
was removed from its proper sphere
and transferred to the persons of div

so unfortunate as to have it introdue-

have retained a generous portion on
their clothes.
There was, of course. the usual Gu
riosity-provoking display of shapelY
ankles (and the other kind, silk hos
iery, lingerie and similar feminine per-
quisites. Yesterdays cool weather and
wind were. both predicted in advance,
and it is very likely. according to tha
forecasts, that today will not be so
windy though colder.

namental. New York architects pre-
pared the plans.
The Fort apartments will be much
in demand, as evidenced by the fact
that already numerous applications
have been made for them. Other resi-
dences on Lee street are planned as
we'll, mention having already been
made of several to be erected this sum-

CANT We AFFORD TO
SPEND THIS MUCH
In Order to Have League
Baseball?
(Albany Herald.)

The Americus Times-Recorder s
making stirring appeal to the bust
ness men of our neighboring town
to come to the support of Amerl-
Gus professional baseball venture
in the Empire State League. 1t
seems that the directors Of the cluo
after thorough canvass, have been
able to raise only $2,08O, although
$4,000 is needed. In an address 70
the business men, the directors state
that "inasmuch as towns such Il
Brunswick raised $5,000.00 in one
DAY, Cordele 100000 in twenty
minutes and Albany giving about
100000 yearly to baseball, it would
appear that our city is behind the
times in enthusiasm, loyalty and H.
civic pride" 1t does cost a little
money to put a professional ball club
into action and maintain it, but the
towns that have made these invest
ments have rarely had occasion to
indulge in regrets. Americus can
very well afford to spend $4,000 for
baseball this year.

After Enjoyable Trip To
Washington

Back from the capital, where they
marched in the pageant on inaugura-

came yesterday morning. They enjov-
ed the trip and had many interesting
stories to relate of the trip to Wash
ington and the stay of three days
there-the first visit that many of the
men had made to the capital.
1T was great trip, and we all en-
joyed it, despite the cold" caid Cap.
James Fort, and this was the comment
also of Lieutenants j. E. B. McLendon
and B. C. Hogue and others of the
men.
The Americus company arrived in
Washington at noon on Sunday and
were assigned to quarters in vacant
residence where the Macon troops
likewise had quarters. The troops had
carried their own cots, and were ve-v
comfortable. Meals were procured at
cafes at the expected advance in
price. Fifty cents for a sandwich OF
two eggs and slice of ham, was the
usual price paid, but in some instances
better meals were procured and at
more reasonable prices.
Representative Charles r. Crisp met
the Americus men upon arrival and
showed them many courtesies, spend
ing as much time with them as he
could spare from other friends and du-
ties.
"The Georgia troops in the parade
received more cheers than did any of
the visiting military, except the West
Point Cadets" said Lieutenant McLe1-
don. "The Georgians marched with
military precision and created fine
impression. I was proud of every
Georgia regiment there"
The return trip was made aboard
the private sleeper upon which the
company went to Washington. The
troops arrived at 8 o'clock yesterday
morning over the Central from Colum-
bus.

SHOULD CONE
IN TAX RATE
PRESENT SYSTEM is UNJUST
"A Better System Should Be
Devised

There is nothing in our modern
system of public business that is more
unjust than the present method of as
sessing taxes" said a we'll known citi-
zen of Americus yesterday. There
should be some method devised where
by taxes are levied more equitably"
This is a we'll known fact Every
body seems to know it, but it is hard
to get the legislators aroused Already
there is an indication that something
will be done to remedy present condi-
tons. The valuations placed upon
property by a number of taxpayers is
far below just valuation, yet these
citizens continue to return this prop
erty at the same figures year aftar
year.
"a board of tax assessors that will
consider this property and return Il
without reference to any political feel
ing, If such could be obtained, would
furnish a solution, This defect in the
present system robs the county and
state yearly of a large part of its
revenue from taxation. 1t is time
that the lawmakers of the state, and
the people who elect these lawmakers
aroused themqelves to remedy this
evil"

COMMITTEE
YESTERDAY
WORKED HARD
AND RAISED A NEAT sum
To Increase Fund to Guar
antee Baseball

AS result of hard work yesterday
by the three members of the commit
tee, Messrs. Homer Daniel, G. D.
Wheatley, Jr., and Carl Ansley. ap-
pointed to 3 4ige additional baseball
funds, more than $500 was added to
the fund.
This is most encouraging news, as It
means few notches nearer the point
where it will be possible for Americus
to Join the Empire State league. 4
determined effort will be made to
continue the pledging of the fund until
the sum desired is pledged.
The members of the committee, to
whom great credit is due for their
work yesterday, continued their work
of pledging money even into the night
last night They went about the WORK
with a persistence that meant much,
and the more than 5000 pledged was all
in small sums. This in itself should
prove valuagle if the local club is or
ganized
Sufficient money to assure the team
has not yet been raised. The directors
feel encouraged as a result of the work
yesterday, however, and it is hoped
that additional funds will be raised to-
day. If there is still further re-
sponse on the part of the fans today a3
enthusiastic as that of yesterday, it IL
believed that the funds needed for
the club can be pledged.

TURKS SUSTAIN
HEAVY DEFEAT
ABOUT JANINA
GREEKS CAPTURE $4,000
Janina Lost. The End is In
Sight

Athens, March 6.-The Turkish
fortress of Janina, key to the posses
sion of the Epirus province with its
garrison of $4,000 men, surrendered
to the Greek army today after a de.
fense which was described as one of
the brilliant episodes of the Balkan
war.
The surrendar' was preceded by a
fierce bombardment continuing two
days and nights. Every available gun
including heavy howitzers lent by the
Servian artillery, was brought to bear
on the forts defending the beleaguer-
I'd city.
Thirty thousand shells were fired
by the Greek guns during the first
days cannonade. Gradually the Turks
batteries at Monaliari, Sagni and else
where were silenced.
The Greek commanders by feint
led the Turks to believe that their at,
tack would be made from the right
AS soon as the attention of the de-
tenders had been distracted, the
Greeks hurled large bodies of infan-
try on the Turkish left. The o.
toman troops, utterly surprised, fell
back in disorder.
Batteries on the heights of Bizani,
the mainstay of the defense had been
unable to stand the pelting of the
shells and we're reduced to complete
silence at II o'clock yesterday morn

new CONGRESS
Will CONSIDER
TARIFF MEASURES
CONGRESS is ANXIOUS TO ACT
No Great Changes in Foreign
Policies

Washington, D. c., March 6.-Prest-
dent Wilson was strongly urged by
house leaders today to use his influ-
ence for, and agree to plan which
would confne congress at the special
session called for April 1st to the en-
actment of tariff legislation and the
passage of the two appropriation bills
which failed in the closing days of the
last congress.
House leaders want to pass the ta-
riff bills as quickly as possible,
send them to the senate and then in
stead of taking up other legislation
such as currency reform, have the
house adjourn for periods of three
days at a time.
Their object in this, it was said, was
to have the senate the only body do
ing business, so that the eyes of the
nation could be focused upon it, and
attention would not be diverted to
other subjects.
In the opinion of some house lead
ers this would enable President Will
son and the democrats in the senate
through their own power and the
force of public attention to get such
tariff legislation as the democratic
platform declared to be necessary.
Indications that no immediate nor
sweeping changes in the foreign
policy of the United States are COR
templated were afforded today when
