SHOOTING At NAN NIT IN
SELF-DEfENSf C0NVlJTIKG
ADDlGgate Court Holds in
That Case

Atlanta, May S.-Shooting at another
not in se,f-desense or under circum-
stances of justification is sufficient 10
satisfy a conviction, even though th9
verdict may read guilty for the unlaw-
full shooting of another"
So holds the court of appeals in at
frming the conviction of former Judge
Smith, at one time presiding judge o.
the city court of Effingham county.
Judge Smith had trouble with man
named Dewitt and shot and wounde /
him. After several efforts to bring
him to trial, it appearing in one in
stance that he drove off on a fishing
trip while court was in session and
ready to try him, he was finally trie |
and convicted, the form of the verdict
being guilty of shooting at another. %
He had stated that he was determined
not to go to trial under certain j.,
because he felt he would not receive
justice, and went off fishing until an.
other judge would be presiding.
His conviction was appealed, after d
now trial was denied and his couns u
attacked the form of the verdict, stat
ing that it meant nothing, was null
ity and amounted practically to ac-
quittal But the appellate court does
not take this view CT it. 1t says:
"A verdict finding one guilty of the
unlawful shooting of another is not
a nullity, but 1t is to be construed as
conviction OF the statutory offense
described in section lis of the penal
code"

Hon. William Jennings Bryan
Secretary of State, says:

"The chautauqua affords one of the
best opportunities now presented the
public speaker for the discussion OF ques-
tons OF interest to the people. The au-
dience is a select one and always COM
posed of the thoughtful element OF the
community. and as they pay admission
they stay to hear ! believe that a CON
siderable part Of the progress that is
now being made along the line OF moral
and political reforms is traceable to the
influence OF the chautauqua"

END OF Term
Will LIKELY BE
FASTENED
BY COMING OF CHAUTAUQUA
Last Week Of School Term
May Be Omitted

On account OF the selection of tia
Chautauqua week here for May 1926
il is likely that the last week of the
city school session may be omitted
This would avoid what will otherwise
be, it is feared, week of demoraliza-
ton for the students.
The suggestion has been advanced
Chautauqua week here for Nav. it is
that this last week OF the school term
les on account of the chautauqua week
having been placed in May, instead of
June. For this reason the termina-
ton of the session the week just prior
to chautauqua has been suggested. ~
AS the attractions of Chautauoua
week are so thoroughly high class and
instructive, it has been further pointed
cut that every school student who ie
old enough to appreciate these attrac-
tons should attend the Chautauqua
Consequently, it is ve.y likely that the
local schools will close before Chau-
tauqua.

DISCUSS SUSTAINED
LIFE IN HUMAN TISSUE
Say That Life Can Be Stopped
and Started

Washington, D. c., May Sustain
ed lie in parts of the human tissue,
after the organism has died, like the
snakes TAIL which the schOOlboy be
lieves does not die until after the
sun has set, was the theme discussed
at closing session CT the congress o.
American physicians and surgeons
The meeting ended today with re
ception at local hotel.
According to papers read by emf
nent authors, life in cells taken from a
living animal organism has been sus-
tanned under certain conditions for
mere than four years after the ami
NAL from which they were taken ceas-
ed to exist. The speakers declared that
i, ultimately would be demonstrated
that life in several cells could be sus-
tanned for as long a period as the or
ganism would live under normal CON
ditions.
This view was taken by DR.. Ross G
Harrison, Of Yale, who spoke on TIE
life of tissues outside the organism
from the embryological standpoint
He was the first speaker on the gen
eral topic, The development of It's
sues in vitro" He was followed b..
Dr.. M0ntrose E. Burrows, of Cornell
university medical college and DE-.
Robert A. Lambert, of Columbia uni
yersity.
All maintained that lie could b.
maintained in severed cells and that
there could be regular growth in the
actual cell divisions, and not merely
degeneratiVe movement. 1t also was
declared that life could be suspended
and made active again through the az.
plication of a proper medium Com
ponent organs of the congress TO-DAY
continued their sessions. These meet
ings will come to an end tomorrow
when all the subjects scheduled 70.
consideration will be concluded.
At the session of the American Sur
gioal association, Surgeon General c.
+. Stokes, of the United States navy
told how the surgeon in civil life could
best serve his country in time of war
He said that with a slight amount o:
additional study these surgeons could
fit themselves for the strenuou7 do
ties Of an army or navy campaign.

cARNEelN BOMB" PROVES
 TO BE SCOTCH CHEESE
Police Discover It's Harmless Character
 by Use of Rifle.

New York, July 22-The mystery of the bomb" which somebody sent to Andrew Carnegie yesterday In care of the secretary of the Carnegie corpora ton, who promptly turned it over to the police, who as promptly turned it over to the bureau of combustibles, was solved today. It was a juicy cheese enclosed in a smell proof case of zinc-a Scotch cheese, according to a cheese expert, called into confer after the bureau had definitely de- ~termined that the bomb contained neither nitro glycerine, dynamite. nor other deadly explosive.
 After deliberating most of the day as to what method should be used te determine the contents of the bomb without causing an explosion that would injure anybody, the officials of the bureau of combustibles took the internal machine" this afternoon to 8 vacant lot. There, from a safe distance, while an immense crowd waited with their fingers in their ears expecting an awful report, one of the officials leveled a rife at the bomb and perforated it with 8 bullet A thick yellow substance oozed from the hole and that was all that happened. Four more bullets were fired into the bomb and still silence reigned. Soon, however, a pungent odor became per- ceptibIe and even the laymen present were able to recognize the true nature of the bomb
 The cheese was returned to the Car negie corporation tonight resembling more the Swiss product than the Scotch

PARCELS POST RATES
 MAY NOT BE CHANGED.
Congressional Committee Calls Post
 master General to Account.

Washington, July 22-Concerted op- position has developed in congress to Postmaster General Burieson's order reducing parcels post rates and in creasing the maximum size of pack ages to be handled In the service. The order was issued Sunday to become effective August 15 and today the sen ate postoffice committee requested MT. Burleson to appear before the com mittee next Thursday with an expla,- nation of the authority for his action.
 This was the first step in what promises to be a bitter contest. When the postmaster-g general has been heard the committee is expected to under take to have withdrawn before August 15 any authority he may claim con gross has given him to change rates and sizes. It was contended in the committee that the proposed changes would entail an enormous loss to the government and some of the members complained strenuously that the post office department had failed to furnish congress with data concerning the op eration of the parcels post. Appar- entity there was no difference of opfn- ion in the committee a S to whether the postmaster general should change the rates, democrats and republicans agreeing that only congress ought to have this power.
 The controversy has aroused extra ordinary interest at the capitol and in official circles, since the parcels post touches more or less directly nearly everybody in the country.
 Those who are supporting the post master general in his stand insist that the only loss imminent under the pro- posed change would be to the express companies, which now carry the profit making, large size packages, while the government transports the unprofit- able, small ones.

Erie Railroad
 Will Arbitrate
BUT WANTS WAGE INCREASE
 DEFERRED TO 1915
ALL DAY CONFERENCE
Federal Mediators Discuss Situation with Roads Vice President-Dseisien Announced Last Night.

New York, July 22.-The Erie road informed the board of mediation and conciltation tonight that it would re- turn to the conference committee of
 nanagers that is handling the eastern foadS side Of the controversy involving the threatened strike of S0,Oe0 train
 men and conductors. Through Presi- dent F. D. Underwood it was announce ca that the system was prepared to accept any awards that might be made pN any federal arbitration board ap- pointed under the Newlands act Day Devoted to Erie Road. The Erie tangle was cleared up after day of conferences, during which the mediators put aside. for the time tha and their men together as to what de- mands are to be submitted for arbitra- ton. The Fries position this morning was that it could not afford to grant
 the wage increase demanded from all the roads in general. On this ground the road last week withdrew from the
 managers conference, with a result that the committee representing the employees informed the mediators that 8 strike would be called against 1t if it's position remained unchanged. Erie Vice President at Conference. Erie was in conference with the medi- Eriet was inconference with the rnedd- ators this afternoon. Judge William L. Chambers, head of the federal board placed the tarinmens position before him and advised him of the importance of return by the Erie to the man. agers conference.
 MT. Stuart after the meeting conn., municated by telegraph with President Underwood, who is on a fishing trip near Waumatosa, Wis. Tonight MT. Stuart submitted to the mediators q
 message from MT. Underwood. After indicating the roads willingness to re-
 turn to the conference, the message concludes:
 Long Postponement of "EviI Day."
 Tn case the advance of wages is granted, the Erie company proposes to ask the men to defer the effective dat@
 until January 1, 1915."
 The position taken by the Erie re- heved the tenseness of the railroad situation at once. The mediatoTs ap-
 peared to believe that the roads win soon withdraw their stipulation that their own grievances be submitted for arbitration along with the mems de- 1 mand for better wages.
 Agreement Hoped for Today. The mediators will confer with the
 managers tomorrow morning, and they hoped tonight to be able to announce in the afternoon that an agreenen had been brought about in the arbitration
 deadlock. This agreement, if reached will, the nediators plan, stipulate that
 the reads demands are to be arbitrat ed after the wage dispute has been settled.
