TARIFF SCARE BEGINS.

Boston, May 13.--The hes
itancy which has been noted
in the local business circles,
particularly in the textile In
} dustry. for some time past
was accentuated today by the
} unexpected announcement
. of the indefinite shutdown
J Of the Fall River Iron Works
. company. with the resultant
. elimination OF an eighth to a
!. quarter OF the entire print
J cloth output OF Fall River.
. and the throwing out OF en-
. ployment of $500 men. The
. last statement issued by the
company, on December 81
. last, indicated that profits
were running at a satisfac-
. tory rate. The assumption
is, therefore, that conditions
have grown rapidly worse
. since the turn OF the year.
J With the debate on the
. Underwood tariff bill before
congress occupying the at
tention of the country, job
. bers and retailers are show
. ing no disposition to take on
. anywhere near a seasonable
. supply of the mill products,
. and no change in this feeling
of caution is looked for UNI
. til the tariff bill is finally
. enacted into law and some
. more definite basis is deter
. mined upon which business
can be done.

BIG GAIN SHOWN
IN FELONY CASES
CASES FOR DECEMBER TERM
HAVE INCREASED 100 PER
CENT IN FOUR YEARS.

The criminal cases on the docket
county superior court which begins
next Monday show an increase CT over
200 per cent over une average number
OF serious offenses which have been
tried at the December term of that
court for the last four years.
There are Tor trial in this term
20 cases of felony and eight for lesser
otenses. In 1909 there were nine fel-
onles, in 1910 there were 10, IN 1911
there were five and i'll 1872 there
were 10. This shows an increase for
his year of just 100 per cent.
These figures, while prop
~ small when compared to other
counties in Georgia, are unprecedent-
ed in Glynn county. OF these 20 cases
there are seven in which conviction
may call for capital punishment.
Only two of tic cases are against
white men, one CT which Is murder
and the ether bigamy There are in
all five murder cases, seven CT bur
glary, one of assault with intent to
murder, one of criminal assault, one
OF accessory before the fact OF mur-
der, one of arson, one of larceny after
trust, one of bigamy and two OF for
gerry.
These facts, say the authorities, do
not necessarily mean that crime In
Glynn county is increasing. 1t is
sibly merely coincidence that all OF
these crimes have. been committed in
time to come before this particular
session OF -thar superior court although
It has been frequently stated by these
who study the question that there has

HON. L. r. AKIN RETURNS
FROM RAILROAD MEETING

Hon. l.. r. Akin returned yestef fday
rom g. meeting of the Western and
Atlantic railroad commission in At
ianta, OF which he is a member In
Tho meeting several important things
We're decided, according to Mr.. AKlns,
would be required to double track the
read and that, in order to obtain a
satisfactory lease, a long term wculd
probably be offered.
The chairman of the commission
III esented letter from the vice pres
dent OF the Southern railroad, H. b.
spencer, in answer to an inquiry that
the cost of double tracking tnat line
rom Atlanta to Gainesville was from
10000 to $S0,000 per mile, according
10 the grade. The cost of the last
double tracking which the read had
done, namely, from Chattanooga to
Meridian, Miss, on the Alabama
Great Southern, averaged $4,000 per
mile. Mr.. Spencer said that 1t would
be impossible to determine the cost of
double tracking any particular line
without a survey by competent en-
5ineer and a report from him.
Chairman Jordan declared that he
thought that certain questions ought
10 be put to the railroads, who are liza
BILE to lease the line. Among these
questions, it should be asked how
much they were willing to pay for
the present right Of way, hcw much
they would pay for the ROAD with the
properties which may be eliminated
from railroad service taken out, and
also how much they will pay for the
Atlanta terminal CT the branch on the
plaza system as indicated by the blue
Drints furnished by the chamber cf
commerce.
While there were only six members
CT the commission present, the consen-
gus seemed TO be practically unani-
nous that no contract for the release
cf the road would be considered un-
less it included a proposition to dou.
Bile track the road.

exceeding gladness. AS he trod the

days, he did it in the style most ap-
proved by the sob artists, when the
hero has been confined for ages in a

If he had confined himself to the
air of freedom all would have been
the conclusion that such an event
