Will SEIZE TIE SHAFT
IF Debt NOT PAID

Macon, Ga, June 2.-If the city of
Macon does not satisfy the debt hang
ing over the Woman's Monument, that
shaft, which stands in front of the city
hall, will be levied upon by marshal
of the United States court for the
northern district of Georgia, and viii
be sold at public outcry.
Attorney Fred Morris, acting under
instructions from Judge Newman, Of
Atlanta, is now in Macon, and will to-
night appear before council, with thu
courts proposition.
A balance of $o,25O is owing on the
monument. The creditors, with the
approval of the court, are willing to
settle for $3.50. Of this amount, prob
ably $500 will be given by the cham
ber of commerce, the directors OF
which will hold special meeting 10
consider the matter. If council does
not agree to give the remainder, the
monument will be removed.
Attorney Morris appeared before
the county commissioners this morn
ing and asked them for an appropria-
ton of $3.50, but the commissioners
held that they could not legally expend
the county's money in that manner.

FUNERAL
RECENT VICTIMS

MANY STILL UNIDENTIFIED
Five Claimants For One Small
Corpse

Quebec, Canada, June 2-The first
public funeral of victims of the co..
lision between the steamer Empress
of Ireland and the collier Storsdad is
to be held tomorrow when the bodies
of nine of the crew will be buried.
Mayor Napoleon Drum, aided by
Canadian Pacific officials and promi-
nent men of the town, is arranging
for the ceremony. There is to be a
public procession headed by the royal
Canadian garrison artillery band and
detachments from the warship Essex
and the local military forces will be
in line. The schools are to close ami
for a time business will be suspended
Responsibility for the collision, just
now subject of bitter controversy,
will be fixed by the royal commission
appointed to make thorough inquiry.
The members of the commission are
Sir Adolph Routhier, judge of tue
court of admiralty of Quebec, and the
Hon. Ezekiel McLeon, chief justice
and judge of the admiralty court Of
New Brunswick, appointed by the
Canadian government, and George L.
Vaux, of the British board of trade,
named by the British government.
The hearings will begin June 9, but
whether in Montreal or Quebec has
not been decided.
The number of disputes that ha, 9
arisen in the funeral shed is a SUI
Iprising feature of the identification
work that has been going on there
In one case no less than five persons
contended for the possession of one
of the little girl victims with the re
suit that when the pier was closed last
night the body was still classed as un-
claimed.

SEABOARD WILL
EXPEND MILLION
Upon EQUIPMENT
Big IMPROVEMENT PLANNED
Such The News Coming From
Headquarters

Savannah, Ca, June 2.-One million
dollars is to be spent by the Seaboard
Air Line presently in the purchase OF
new equipment Announcement to this
effect has been made by Mills B. Lane,
director in the Seaboard, upon his
return from New York, where he at.
tended a meeting of the Seaboard di-
rectors.
This new equipment" said Mr..
Lane, lis to be bought to enable the
road to take care of increased busi-
ness, and not to take the place of
equipment that is worn out"
This announcement is of vital in
terest to this section as the equipment
which is to be bought will mean a
better service by the Seaboard The
fact that the new equipment is neces-
sary as result of increased business
is significant of the marked progress
the Seaboard is making.
The Seaboard during the last year
showed a substantial net increase in
earnings while the other roads that
operate along the Atlantic seaboard
have faced a decrease in their earn
ings. The seaboard's increase IS
shown in both passenger and tonnage,
per car mile.
1t is only question CT short while
now before the Seaboard will have its
entire system rock ballasted. The
road from Richmond to Birmingham
already has heavy rock ballast. Froa
Hamlet to point forty or fifty miles
this side of Columbia the road has
been rock ballasted and the same sort
Of road has been built for a dis
tance of about fifty miles on either
side of Savannah.
In short while the missing links
will be connected up which will COM
plete the rock ballasted system.

MEXIC REPORT
DECLARES that
HUERTA BIKED
SHAKE DUST OF REPUBLIC
Stated to Have Sailed For
Europe

Vera Cruz, June 2-Coincident with
the sailing of the Hamburb American
steamer Ypiranga from here late to-
day, persistent rumors, originating in
Mexico City, and brought here by ref
ugees, were circulated that Sonora
Huerta and her four. sons were aboard
the ship. The Ypiranga cleared for
Europe by way of Havana. AS she
left the harbor the, German cruiser
Dresden Immediately hauled up an
chor and followed to sea. There was
report also that the liners destina-
tion was Puerto Mexico.
Neither Brig. Gen. Funston or any
other army or navy officer heard the
rumor that some of the Huerta fami-
ly were aboard the Ypiranga until af-
ter the steamer had sailed. There
was no means by which the report
could be verified.
According to the reports in Mex
co City, Sonora Huerta and her sons
went to Puerto Mexico several days
ago on special train, escorted Ey
palace guards, boarded the Ypiranga
there and remained in seclusion while
the steamer was in this port.
Gen. Funston said that this might
be possible, as no attempt had been
made to ascertain who was aboard. It
was reported also from the capital
that Sonora Huerta drew from the
bank 100000 pesos before she started.
Still another report from the capital
had it that President Huerta himself
had left for Puerto Mexico several
days ago in sleeping car, with train
ahead and behind. Refugees declare
that they passed a train of this ma
ture this morning on the way from
Mexico City, and noted that more than
800 soldiers Of the Twenty-ninth In
fantry were aboard.
These reports are generally dis
credited here, but are viewed as in
teresting as showing a general be-
lief in the capital that Huerta may de-
part at any moment.

These dry, summer days, when the

streets which have recently been work

SO DUSTY that those people who have

impossible to live there.
Many Americus streets are veritable
beds of dust, and the stif1ed populace
|cry aloud for relief, and watch for the
water wagon, which cometh not even a
little bit.
Of course, in the paved section,
there is no trouble from the dust, but
out muchly travelled Lee street and
other principal thoroughfares condi-

and frequently it is impossible for one

WELL UP WITH RECORD
First Bloom in Americas

The first cotton bloom reported in
the Americus territory was found yes
terday in field on the X. M. Mc-Don-
aid place, six or eight miles south Of
mericus. and thus makes its appear
ence just little in advance of the
irst bloom last season, which came at
2 Il ter June date. The bloom located
yesterday was taken from the fine
patch of seven or eight acres on the
Mcdonald farm and within a few days
there will be hundreds of these cream.
colored harbingers of prosperity there.
Despite the continued dry weather, the
cotton crop, locally, has not suffered
to great extent and continues Wig
orous growth. Two months hence tbs
local trade will be looking for the first
cotton bale, rather than the first
bloom.

Grille IN NIGHTIE SAVES
FATHER FROM BULL

Portland, Oregon, June MARY S.
Starks, 24-year-old daughter of a
farmer living at Toledo, Lincoln coun-
ty, saved her father from instant death
Sunday morning, when she drovr
away an angry bull that was goring
him. Although her bravery kept tn
bull from crushing out his life, he
was injured probably fatally.
According to Bert Geer, deputy
sheriff Of Lincoln county, who
brought the story to Portland, Mr.
Starks had gone out to GO his chores
at 5 o'clock in the morning. He was
armed with pitchfork, but the bull
attacked him so ferociously that he
was unable to defend himself.
Miss Starks was in bed when sh =
heard his screams. Attired only in her
nightrobe, she rushed to his assist
ance.
AS she was crossing suspensio !
bridge over the Yaquina River that
separates the house from the barn, she
could see the fight. The bull had
backed her afther up against the
barn, and he was defending himselt
with the pitchfork.
While she ran forward the anima
made another plunge and swept he:
father from his feet. AS he lay on hi:
back the bull gored him repeatedly
and was continuing the attack wher
she reached the barnyard.
With large club she succeeded l.
driving the bull away, and momen
later was reinforced by her brother
Chester, IS years old, who had alst
heard his fathers cries.

Paris, June 2.-The French govern
ment decided today to treat Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt in the same way
it does former rulers and furnish him
with a special permit authorizing him
to pass through the police lines at all
times on his journey through France
to Madrid to attend the wedding of his
son, Kermit, and Miss Belle Wyatt
Willard.
Many classifications of these special
passes are issued to diplomats and
others, but all are limited in regard to
the privileges accorded, except the
white permit given to visiting rulers
and ex-rulers and members of royal
families. This is the kind which is to
be handed to Colonel Roosevelt.
Gabriel Hanotaux, former French
foreign minister, is making arrange
ments to give luncheon Saturday il
honor of Colonel Roosevelt unless the
visitor is obliged to hasten to Mad
rid. A letter written by the colonel
before his departure from the United
States indicated he desired to procee
to Madrid by the first train after his
arrival in Paris.
The member of the Roosevelt
party will be guests of Myron T.
Herrick, American ambassador, if
they make a sufficiently long stop
here.

This, if accepted by the court, woulI
mean far lighter punishment for the

burglary, carrying with it a possible
sentence Of several years imprisnn-
ment, whereas a misdemeanor pun
ishment would scarcely exceed one
years servitude, or the privilege Of
paying fine in lieu thereof. The de-
fendant, j. E. Heckle, was charged
with having broken into Harden's
store, on Elm avenue, several months
ago, at which time goods in consider

on the county chaingang or pay a fine
of $500, and all costs. The costs

SPEER REPORT
NOW EXPECTED
FRIDAY MORNING
COMMITTEE WILL Be DIVIDED
Two of The Three Favor I'm
parchment

Washington, D. c., June 2.-ReprC-
sentative Volstead, who will hold with
the defense of Judge Emory Speer, of
Georgia, in the investigation looking
to the impeachment of the southern
jurist, today is working on the final
pages of his minority report.
The majority report signed by Rep
resentatives Webb and Fitzhenry, the
other members of the subcommittee
which took testimony against Judge
Emory Speer, already is with the
printers, but will not be made public
until the minority report is also sub
mitted
The majority report is known to rec
ommend impeachment and to sustain
the charges entirely.
Representative Volstead is the re-
publican member of the sub-com
mittee and is the ranking republican
member of the judiciary committee.
The route which the report will take
will be, first, consideration by the full
house judiciary committee, and, then,
if impeachment is recommended, ac
tion by the house. 1t is believed that
if the judiciary committee endorses
the committees report that the
house will do likewise, with the re-
publicans dissenting both in the com
mittee and in the house.
The report of the committee which
investigated the charges against Judge
Speer will positively be submitted t0
the house judiciary committee on Fri
day of this week.
