HE DID 1T.
(New York Tribune

(New York Tribune.}
Somebody said that it couldn't be
done,
But he, with chuckle, replied
That maybe it couldn't" but he
would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd
tried.
SO he buckled right in with the trace
Of a grin
On his face-Uf he worried he
hid it,;
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it..
Somebody scoffed, "Oh you'll never
do that
At least no one ever has done it;
But he took off his coat and he took
off his hat,
And the first thing he knew he'd
begun it.
With the lift Of his chin and a bit OF
grin,
OF any doubt rose he forbid IT'D
He started to sing as lie tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it..
There are thousands to tell you it
cannot be done;
There are thousands 10 prophesy
failure;
There are thousands to point out TO
you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail
you,
But just buckle in with a bit Of a
grin,
Then take off your coat and go to
Just start in to sing as you tackle
the thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do

THE UNITED STATES OBJECTS.
Sends Note to Turkish Government,
But VIII Bide It's Time.

Washington, Sept. lG-The United
States to-day joined the powers of
Europe who have protested to the
Sublime Porte against the abroga-
tion Of the capitulations undo which
aliens have enjoyed certain territorial
privileges in Turkey Secretary OF
State Bryan made this action public
to-day when he announced. that Am
bassador Morgenthau at Constanti-
nople had been ordered to register
the United States objection. The fol-
lowing statement by Mr.. Bryan is a
paraphrase of the cablegram sent
Mr.. Morgenthau:
"You will bring to the attention of
the Ottoman government that the
government of the United States does
not acquiesce in the endeavor OF the
imperial government 90 set aside the
capitulations. Furthermore, this
government does not recognize that
the Ottoman government has a right
to abrogate the capitulations, or that
its action to this end being unilateral
can have any effect upon the rights
and privileges enjoyed under the ca
pitulatory conventions. You will
further state that the United States
reserves, for the present. the discus
sion OF the grounds upon which its
refusal to acquiesce in the action Of
the Ottoman government is based,
and also reserves the right to make
further representations in this mat
ter at a later date"
Reason for POStponement.
Although the note to the Turkish
government did not explain the rea-
son for the postponement of discus
sion, it generally is understood the
United States government does not
wish to become involved in tangled
European diplomacy on which the
question of war between Turkey and
other European powers depends. The
Washington government will wait
until the war is over.
In the meantime it was believed
the vigorous phraseology OF the
American note would serve as a
warning to Turkey to be circumspeCt
in her treatment Of American citi-
zens.

HUSBAND ACCUSED BY JURY.
Mother and Baby Killed and Bodies
Found-Nlarion County Tragedy.

Mullins, Sept. ia fearful story
comes from Raines to-day, w. NJ.
Shelley, a well-known citizen Of the
county, living eight miles south of
tragedy in his immediate neighbor-
hood, in which he said that a young
woman and her infant are thought to
have been murdered by the husband
and father. Thos. Ammons, aged
21, and his wife, aged 20 years, a
daughter of Steve Turner, were the
parties to the tragedy, said Mr.. Shell
ley. 1t was about 2 o'clock Monday
morning when the neighborhood was
aroused by the cry of fire, and when
the neighbors arrived, according to
Mr.. Shelley. they found Ammons the
sole survivor of the family.
Ammons claimed, it is said, that he
was sleeping in a bed near the win
dow, while his wife and infant occu-
pied separate bed; that when he
awoke the house was ablyze and fall
ing in, and that he bar ely had time
to jump through the wiudow for his
life. Mr.. Shelley stated that AM
mons made several contradictory
statements concerning the affair, and
soon aroused suspicion.
Among other statements attributed
to Ammons was one that the fire was
| caused by a lamp explosion. After
the fire had spent it's force, and a
hurried investigat ton of the debris
made, the remains Of the mother and
child were taken from the fire and
examined by those present, including
the coroner. 1t was found that the
woman's skull had been crushed and
her arm possibly broken, and other
mutilations Of the body were in evil
dencc.
It was also repor, ed here that the
child's body showed signs of foul
play, and that the whole affair is
wrapped in suspicion.
Sent to Jail.
After thorough and painstaking
investigation the coroner's jury felt
warranted in duplicating Ammons,
and he was accordingly remanded to
Jail to await trial.
j. G. Spirow, a member Of the
coroner's jury, was among the first
to arrive on the scene, and he gave
his version Of the affair, which is
practically the same as that of Mr..
Shelley. Mr.. Spirow had, together
with the evidence, a copy of the yer
diet, which Is as follows:
we, the Undersigned 5SiIig
! jurors, find that Lola Amnonss de-
| ceased. came to her death by a blunt
ended instrument, in the hands OF
Tommy Ammons, her husband.
| (Signed) d. j. Atkinson, foreman"
and the balance of the jury.
The scene Of the double tragedy is
near where three negro children
! were burned to death in house
three weeks ago, while their parents
were away from home.
