WILL COST US ACOOL BILLION
If We Take Over All the Wire Lines,
as Recommended by the Post
master-GeneraI.

The government experts have es-
timated the cost of taking over the
telegraph and telephone lines, as rec
commended by the postmaster general
in his annual report, to be over a
billion dollars.
A party caucus may be held to get
the exact views of the president and
a majority of the party leaders.
Congressman Lewis of Maryland
believes the government should only
acquire telephone lines, saying the
government does not need the tele-
graph wires, because it could use the
telephone wires for both telephone
and telegraph as is being done now
1t is estimated that the cost OF
telephone lines would be nine hun
dred million dollars and the tele-
graph lines two hundred million dol
lars.

WAR AMONG WAR OFFICERS
The Former Recommends Abolishing
the Office Held by the Latter.
It's Up to Gov. SlatOn.

ATLANTA.-Abolition of the Of
flee of quartermaster general of the
Georgia National Guard, now held
by Brigadier General VIM. G. O'Bear,
has been recommended to Governor
Slaton by Adjutant General Jos. Van
Holt Nash. The governor has the
matter under serious consideration.
There have been for some time ru-
mors of a rupture between General
Nash and General O'Bear, and many
have anticipated that it would take a
more serious turn than it has up to
date. 1t is claimed, however, that
the action .of General Nash in his
recommendation to the governor has
no bearing upon the differences ex-
listing within the department.
General Nash urges the abolition
of the Office first on the ground that
it is entirely useless under the pres
ent organization of the troops and
that the salary of $1,750 might as
we'll be saved to the state. In the
next place General Nash declares
that the Office has already been abol-
ished in many other states because
of the conflict with the Dick law
under which the state troops are now
organized.
1t is said that the action of the
adjutant general in recommending
the abolition of the office in Georgia
brings to an acute crisis the differ
ences existing in the department and
that it will now be up to the gov
ernor either to act in line with the
adjutant generals recommendation
or embarrass that officer in the flu
ture discharge of his duty. 1t is said
the governor is no little worried by
the unfortunate situation which ex-
lists in the office.

and that the federal prisoners should
be treated in accordance with the
rules of civilized warfare.
Not much was heard of Villa dur
ing the present outbreak until three
months ago, when he appeared in
northern Chihuahua with a bigger
army than Madero had when he
overthrow Diaz. Since then success
after success came to his arms. To-
day he is the big man in Mexico and
Carranza, the constitutional leader,
is a very small fish. If Villa could
be controlled it might be possible for
Carranza, who is man of consider
able education and much more hu-
name than Villa, to become the savior
of Mexico, but unfortunately Villa is
the military master of the republic,
so far as the rebels are concerned,
and there is no authority in sight
strong enough to regulate his con-
duct.

H. S. GIRL CALLED
PRINCIPAL DADDY
And Likewise "Snookums," While
the History Instructor Was
Designated "Pete."

MORAN, Kan.-FOr a high school
girl to call the principal daddy" and
'snookums" and to refer to her his
tory instructor as pete is contemp-
tuous, but the school board is the
court of last resort in such case
and its acts are not subject to judi
cial review, according to a decision
rendered here today by Judge Foust
in the district court dismissing a suit
brought to enjoin the school board
from suspending Miss Vivian Var
ner from attendance in the Moran
high school.
Testimony was given to show that
Miss Warner had referred to Principal
Wright and to one of the teachers
with the appellations Judge Foust
finds contemptuous. Miss Warner was
suspended and her father appealed
to the court. His attorneys contend
ed that Miss Warmers acts were mere
ly those of a girl full of life and vi
vacity and were not intended to be
disrespectful. Judge Foust ruled it
was beyond the power of a court to
interfere with the actions Of school
board unless they were shown to be
actuated by malice.

NEWT CAUGHT IN FLINT RIVER
A Rare and Curious Creature Found
on Fish Line of Albany Man.

A creature which has greatly in
terested all who have seen it was
caught this morning in Flint river by
Mr.. o. S. Anderson.
1t was identified as newt, though
it is one of the largest specimens
ever seen in this part of the country.
In fact, the newt is a rare creature.
1t is amphibious, but is found in
the water, or marshy habitats, at
this season of the year. The one Sc
cured this morning by Mr.. Anderson
was taken on the end of a fishing
line, which was baited with an eel
worm. 1t is of a purplish hue, COW
cred with black spots, and looks
much like a big water lizard. 1t car
ries two brilliant red crests, which
it moves constantly, and is altogether
very interesting creature.
Very few of those who saw it this
morning knew what it was.-Albany

WILL FIGHT TO THE END
FRANKS LAWYERS MAY DRAG
THE CASE THROUGH YEARS.
Convicted Man Will Make Desper-
ate Fight for Life. Now in Hands
of State Supreme Court.

ATLANTA.-The supreme cour
has heard arguments in the appea
for a new trial Tor L. NJ. Frank, the
superintendent of the National Pencil
Factory, convicted of the murder OF
Mary Phagan, and over whose head
hangs the death sentence.
The record and briefs in this case
are more voluminous perhaps than
any case ever appealed to this tribu-
nal, and the mere reading of all of
this matter entails heavy work on the
six justices who must pass on it. A
decision is not expected before the
latter part of January or some time
in February.
If this court holds that Judge L.
S. Roam erred in denying another
trial to Frank the case of course goes
back for another jury trial in the
superior court
On the other hand, if the lower
court is sustained and its judgment
affirmed it will not mean the end of
the fight for Frank by any means.
There probably would be an extraor-
binary motion for new trial, and it
is entirely possible under these cir
cumstances for the case to reach the
supreme court of this state a second |
time. Even after that habeas corpus |
writs might be tried, which would |
possibly send the case to the federal |
court or the United States supreme
court
In other words, the fight for Leo
Franks life may go on for years be-
fore reaching the end of the legal
rope Granting that all other sources
should fail in his behalf and the SEN
tence of death should stand finally
there would undoubtedly be an extra
effort before the prison
and the governor to have
executive mercy extended.

colors, and many of them species now
extinct. Some of the eggs are said to
be the only specimens of their kind
in existence.

LEASED CHILDREN FOR HOLIDA

Philadelphia Rich Folks Star in New

In Philadelphia rich but childless
folks adopted the practice Of leasing
children for the holidays. They made
believe the children were their own.
They had a fine Christmas tree and
many toys for the leased tots. After
the holidays were over the children
were returned to the Orphanages
from which they were taken. While
it is a treat for the borrowed chill
dren to have temporary parents dur
ing the Christmas season it is sad to
think they can't be cared for in
wealthy, childIess homes the whole
year round. After such a holiday ex-
perience the walls and customs of
