REPORT IS FILED
IN JACOBS CASE
PHYSICIAN AVS HIS DEATH WAS
NOT DUE TO AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT.
COMPANIES WILL Be SUED
Or. Roy F. Harris, Who Held Autop-
sy When Body of B. {. Jacobs Was
Exhumed, Says His Death Was
Due to Natural Causes.

Holding that B. E. Jacobs death
was not due to an automobile acci-
dent, but to natural causes or to pois-
oning, DR.. r. F. Harris, secretary of
the state board Of health, who recent
ly held an autopsy of the dead man,
has submitted his report, which
means that fight will now follow
for the $4,000 accident insurance car
ried by the deceased, and which the
insurance companies have refused to
pay to Mrs Annie Laurie Jacobs, the
widow.
1t will be remembered that MIR.
Jacobs and his wife, while returning
to their home near the cypress mills
some several weeks ago, Wee struck
by an automobile, or rather the wag-
on in which they were riding, was
struck, and both of them were thrown
out. Mr.. Jacobs was reported to be
seriously injured, and, several days
later, died. 1t was the conclusion
of the attending physician that his
death was due to the accident, but
the insurance companies contested
and at their instance the body of the
dead man, who was buried at Waynes-
vile, was eXhumed and an autopsy
was held by DR.. Harris and DR.. Fox.
Portions of the head and stomach
were taken to Atlanta by DR.. Harris
and an examination was made by
chemists in that city. Following this
examination DR.. Harris submitted his
report, in which he stated that Mr..
Jacobs death was not due to the
automobile accident.
Attorney R. IT, Dart, representing
Mrs. Jacobs, has made a demand for
the full report, and as soon as 1t is
delivered to him he will institute le-
gal proceedings against the three in
surance companies for the amount of
the policies, amounting, as stated, to
$17,50O The three companies are the
Pacific Coast Casualty company, $5,-
600; the Midland Casualty, $4,000; the
Great Eastern Casualty, $500.
Just what the full contents of the
report is has not been made public.
in fact a copy of it has not been re-
ceived in this city, but it is known
that it states, among other things, that
the death of Mr.. Jacobs was not due
to the automobile. accident Whether
or not there are any sensational
charges in it is not known. However,
the case promises to be an interest
ing one and will no doubt be hotly
contested when it comes up in the
courts. The insurance companies are
represented by Attorney H. F. Dun
woody.

TRIBUTE IS PAID
LATE ALDERMAN
ON RISING VOTE COUNCIL PASS
ES RESOLUTION ON DEATH
OF CAPT. NEWMAN

City council paid a distinct COM
phment to the memory Of Hon. Tobias
Newman a former member of that
body whose sad death occurred ten
days ago, at it's regular meeting last
might.
Under the head of new business the
following resolution was offered by
Mayor j. Hunter Hopkins and on mo.
ton of Alderman l.. Ludwig was
adopted unanimously and by rising
vote.
Whereas, Tobias Newman was at
the time of his recent death, serving
a two years term as an alderman of
the city OF Brunswick, elected from
the Fourth ward;
And whereas he had previously
served as an alderman for three
terms; and during such service had
lfilled many important positions in the
administration of the affairs Of the
city, particularly the supervision of
the public works department, in the
administration of which department it
was always his pleasure to devote to
it the most active zeal, painstaking
effort, and the same hard and labor.
ious physical labor, without compen-
sation, as successful business mai
would devote to his private affairs;
And whereas in his long residence
in Brunswick he was always
ready to devote his time and money
and labor to all public enterprises,
and by his works, as well as by his
words, was loyal and efficient citi.
zen;
Therefore be it resolved by the MSy
Or and Council of the city of Bruins.

NEW QUESTION Ross UP AND
AT ONCE BECOMES
SERIOUS.
COUNCIL TAKES ACTION TODAY
Trouble all Comes From Proposition
of City to Build Sewers Under N.
Street-Both Parties Want to Die
tate Terms Of Construction, etc.

VIII the city OF Brunswick and the
Atlantic Coast Line try conclusions
in the Georgia courts over techni-
cal point in the leases of all of the
foots Of the streets OF the city of
Brunswick from Gloucester street ON
out to the Northern city limits?
That's the way it looks this morn
ing and unless some amicable terms
are agreed upon at recessed meet
ing OF city council, which is to occur
at three O'Clock this afternoon, the
courts may he the resort.
1t comes about this way. Some
thirty years ago. the city made these
eases to the old B. L. W. r. r. now
a part of the A. c. l.. 1t was a pro-
vision of the lease that the A. c. l..
must advise the city and get the con-
sent of the city to any transfers of
these leases. AS a matter OF fact,
they have been transferred by the or
iginal lesseees to the Plant Invest
ment company and in turn to the
| Atlantic Coast Line, without being
joined in such transfer by the city.
But here is the way the trouble came
to Light. The city is extending lis
sewerage system into New Town and
| 1t becomes necessary to construct one
OF its large sewers under the tracks
of the A. G. l.. at the foot of N. street.
When the city applied to the Coast
Line for terms under which the sewer
should be constructed, 1t Is claimed
that the Coast Line became chesty
and insisted On naming the conditions.
AT any rate an agreement was drawn
up by the city attorney and the divis-
lion counsel OF the A. G.. L., embody
ing the views OF the later as to all
essential points, attaching all liahil-
ity for damages, etc, in future to
the city. This agreement was not
pleasing to council last night and It
refused to ratify.
A long discussion followed In which
all member OF council, City Attorney
Colson and f. Il. Twitty, OF counsel
for the A. G. L., engaged. 1t was
limited by council that the city might
wish to amend the contract leasing
the streets In question and that the
point was open by reason Of the fact
that the Coast Line has not lived up
to the terms OF the lease. However,
the situation became little more
tense, when Mr.. Twitty said some
thing about the city confiscating the
property OF his clients, and on mo-
tion council recessed until 3 o'clock
this afternoon, when It will meet
again and the agreement, leases, etc,
will be taken UP and disposed OF.
| 1t Is. believed that some mutually
agreeable contract touching the con-
struction OF sewers will be reached
and that the old leases will not be
disturbed.

Fight For $l7,5OO Insurance
DECISION OF REFEREE WAS
UPHELD BY JUDGE NEWMAN

The statement in the Sunday News
that the decision and jurisdiction o:
Judge A. j. Crovatt, referee in bank
ruptcy, had been upheld in the mat
ter of a receiver for the estate OF
Geo. E. Perdicoules, by Judge New
man, of the u S. District Court, was
warranted by the facts in the case,
and the statement is reiterated by
the News
The News published the statement
simply as a matter OF news, and has
no interest in the affair whatever,
further than that
A representative of the News was
present when Judge Crovatt rec2',, i
the order issued by Judge Newman,
which read:
That so much of the order made
by A. J. Crovatt, as referee, be re-
,voked and modified so as to re-deliver
the stock of goods to Geo. E. Perdi-
coules and that said Perdicoules is
sale or disposing of said stock Of
goods until the further order of The
court, except he may carry on his
business in regular course, keeping
an account of all sales made until
further order in this matter"
Upon receipt of this order, Perdi-
cOllleS WAS summoned To the office Of
the referee, where j. K Cornelius,
the receiver, delivered to him the
keys to his store, retaining, however,
all assets in money in his posses
sion, and which he still retains, and
Judge Crovatt instructed Perdicoules
that he might reopen his business,
but, must account strictly to the re-
ceiver for all monies. That the re-
ceiver is recognized is shown by the
following paragraph from the order:

by consent of counsel it
IS ordered that the receiver
be authorized to go into a
trunk and wardrobe at the place OF
business of said Geo. E. Perdicoules
and examine to see if there be any
money therein and if so to take pos
session of and hold the same until
the further order of the court"
The order closes by saying:
This matter is set down for fur
ther hearing before A. J. Crovatt,
Referee IN Bankruptcy, at Brunswick,
Georgia, on Thursday, April 10th,
1914"
When seen yesterday by a News
repotter Judge Crovatt stated that
ali assets of Perdicoules, in the way
of money, were in the possession of
the receiver, ). X. Cornelius, to whom
a strict accounting must be made OF
all money received in the course of
business, pending disposition of the
case Thursday, at which time it is
to be hoped for the sake of all con-
cerned that Perdicoules may be able
to establish to the satisfaction of the
court that he did not, as charged,
send $1,000 to Greece in an effort to
defraud his Brunswick creditors.
Regarding the questions at point
the News received last Friday night
the following press dispatch from At
lanta, which was published Satur-
day morning:
To-day Judge Max Isaac, repre-
senting Perdicoules, presented Judge
Newman a motion to dismiss the re-
ceivership on the ground that the ref
cree at Brunswick was without jur-
isdiction."
This was the first of three reasons
advance why the receiver should be
disqualified.
