Columbia, June 9.--Governor
Blease addressed a letter to Presi-
dent Wilson to-day asking him to in
struct the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue not to issue any more Ii

as retail liquor dealers. The Cover
nor urged the President to send a
special message to Congress asking
for the enactment OF such law IL
he HASN'T the authority already to
forbid the issuance OF liquor licenses.
1T does seem to me-" he said,
that you could be of great assist
ance to me in the enforcement of the
liquor laws of this State IL you would
instruct your United States Commis-
sioners cf internal revenue not to
grant license to any person, firm or
corporation in this State, except the
license necessary for the legal dis
pensGries, to- engage in the retail or
wholesale liquor business"
He urges the prosecution OF per-
sons violating the law In the United
States; courts.
It does seem to me, as a private
Citizen Of the United States of Ameri-
ca and the Governor of the greatest
State I'm the Union, that It Is ineon-
sistent for she United States govern
ment to license people to violate a
state law, SO far as the Federal gov

nor Brease
The Governor thinks that the re-
fusal to issue such licenses would
stamp out the social club" evil. He
promises that IL there is no law Civ
ing the President the right to issue
instructions forbidding the granting
OF licenses he will introduce a bill

Mrs. Longstreet Not a Martyr.
(Grantville, Ca, Observer


Mrs. Helen d. Longstreet, widow
OF the Confederate general, and re-
Gently defeated in her fight for re-
appointment as postmaster at Gaines
vile, has announced In Washington
that she has been offered position
at $4,000 a year in the office of Col.
Albert e. Boone, Of Clarksburg. w.
Va, Union veteran. Mrs. Longstreet
Is quoted as stating: 'If l find that
| am fitted to do the work in Col.
Boone's office / shall accept his Of
fer in the same spirit In which Gen.
Longstreet accepted commission
from President Grant when ne found
h1mself an outcast In the land whose
bnttlefiags he had followed with SUI
i'reme devotion"
Mrs. Longstreet is nothing If not
melodramatic. She made q melo--
dramatic fight for reappointment to
the Gainesville postmastership, and
she has not ceased to be melodramat-
ic in defeat. Her statement, quoted
above, Is characteristic. Should she
accept the offer OF a sympathetic I'm
ion veteran to have her enter his
service, she would not do so as men
and women are ordinarily employed,
but lin that spirit" which long ago
prompted her to place her lamented
and oft-honored husband in a mar
tyr's niche. and now leads her to hol-
low out another little niche, and pose
herself therein.
Mrs. Longstreet is an excellent
lady. She has ability OF a high or
der, and she made an excellent post
master at Gainesville. Moreover, she
made game fight for reappoint-
ment, but she lost, and that's all
there Is TO it. She is not a martyr.
The fact that she Is Gen. Longstreet's
widow Is merely a circumstance. BY
no possibility can 1t be stretched into
a principle, and if she Is to continue
to commorcialize her late distin-
guished husbands military record.
nobody in Georgia who Is anybody
will cry over her removal to West
virginia. Some of the people OF
Georgia are getting tired OF her
horse-play as the widow OF a Con-
federate general

Balkan States on Eve of War {?

London, June with both sides
stubborn in refusing to make the
slightest concession, war between the
Balkan States Is hourly becoming
more imminent. If Bulgaria sends a
negative reply to the Servian note
and nothing indicates that she will
answer otherwise--Servia and Greece
will proclaim the annexation Cs the
occupied Macedonian territories,
thereby establishing a definite casus
belli.
The only hopeful feature Of the
situation consists in the belief that
Bulgaria Is lacking the sinews of
war Servia and Greece are not only
better situated in this respect, but
also occupy superior strategical DO
s1tlons. These facts probably ac-
count for the calmness with which
Servia apparently regards the pros
poets of war.

Says Wilson is "Near Lobbyist" :"

Washington, June 7.---An unex-
pected turn was given the Senates
lobby investigation yesterday when
Senator Townsend, of Michigan, Gre
publican) declared on the stand that
the influence welded by President
Wilson and by the Democratic secret
caucus upon the making OF the tariff
bill constituted the nearest approach
TO undue influence upon members OF
Congress that the investigation com
mittee would be able to find."
Senator Townsend criticised the
committee for not having asked
members of the Senate whether the
President has sought to influence
them, and declared that even though
the President had not intended it,
mis- recent denunciation of "lobbies"
working In support of changes in the
tariff would force certain Senator's to
vote against amendments they knew
to be just,

"It Is tissue of falsehoods. There
Is absolutely nothing to it. DR.. ].
w. Babcock will not be asked to re.
sign as superintendent of the State
Hospital for the Insane, and l do not
believe that a single man now hold
ing Office will be ousted."
DR.. Taylor explained that a law
was passed at the last session of the
General Assembly providing for the
officers and help at the State Hospi-
tai for the Insane to be elected by
the board of regents. The board
placed an advertisement in the press
Of the State announcing that meet
ing will be held July to elect off,

ATLANTA Constitution, 10th. }

\AuaHta constitution, l0th.
A trim-fgured brunette, apparent
ly 80 years old, wearing wide straw
hat, with purple plumes, and clad In
a raincoat, stepped on the trestle of
the Western and Atlantic railroad
that spans the Chattahoochee river
yesterday morning about 8 o clock.
James Russell, a florist, who was
on a fishing outing, was standing on
the opposite bank, his line thrown
into the water. He noticed the wo-
man as she walked to the center of
the bridge. Forgetting even a min
now that ,nibbled his hook, he kent
his gaze on her.
Reaching the middle Of the trestle
she removed her hat, adjusted a but
ton at the bottom of her raincoat and
looked long into the rushing waters
OF the river. 100 feet below.
Suddenly she stepped back a pace,
threw out both arms as a bird spread
Ing wings, and jumped from the diz-
zy height. The raincoat opening
parachute-like, lessened the force OF
her fall. Russell dropped his pole
and line and yelled for help.
The woman rose to the surface,
the raincoat, composed OF cork and

her, acted as a buoy. She floated
swiftly downstream more than 200
feet, to spot where l.. Harrison, a
soda dispenser, was fishing. Harri-
son dived into the water and quickly
swan with the woman to shore.
She was revived and carried into a
neighboring home, where she, was
dried. and where dry clothes were
furnished. She gave the name. of
Ethel Smith, and said her home was
at 2S9 Rawson street, where she,
lived with her family.
She was rushed in the automobiTe,
or the county police to her Rawson
street home. She would give no. rea-
son for her desperate leap, although
1t Is said she told members of her
FAMILY that she dtve1 into the river
TO escape an onrushipg train which
threatened to crush her.
Dependency over the failure to
receive a letter from her 9-year-ord
son, who Is attending a reform school
In Athens, is said to have been the
cause. Other than suffering from the
exposure and a wound on the leg,
she viii experience no serious con-
sequences.

1t seems that tine accident was due
to the slipping Of certain brakes that
control the large, heavy dipper when
1t Is lowered to the bottom Of the cut
to scoop up a load of earth. This
slipping, 1t was said, was caused by
the brakes getting wet during the
