WORK STARTS ON
j. NEW DIRECTORY
C. j. SAKE, REPRESENTING r. L
POLK g. CO., is ORGANIZING
WORKING FORCE.

C. J. SAKE, representing II. L. Polk
& Co., the directory publishers, who
has been in the city for the past ten
days arranging the necessary details
looking to the issue of new Bruins
wick directory, is about ready to start
the real work in which he will use
some or local people.
The board of trade endorses the pub
lication as new directory is badly
needed and the cooperation Of busi-
ness men especially is requested in
giving the names of all employees, as
everyone in the city, men women and
children over 1G years of age, and
those under that age who work,
should appear in the publication, and
In event the name takers miss anyone
phone or write the board Of trade and
the matter will be attended to.
The old directory is very much out
of date and a new publication will not
only serve to advertise the city but
will be of great convenience.

BRYAN ADVISES
AGAINST TRIP
WIRES DR.. j. A. NOLAN OF EATON
TON NOT TO GO TO
MEXICO.

Eatonton, Ga, March z5.-Dr. J. Q.
Nolan, of this place, will not make the
intended trip to Mexico to probe the
death OF his son DR.. Frank Nolan,
whose recent death aroused the suspl-
cion Of the family that he met foul
|play, the postponement being a result
OF the following message from Secre-
|tary Bryan:
American consul at Tampico, Mex
tco, wires that body Of son cannot be
exhumed until the expiration OF five
years. Advise strongly that you do
not go to Mexico"
According to the meager details re-
ceived in letter to the father, the
young man died OF heart failure en-
route from his hacienda to Tanpico to
receive medical attention. Always of
strong and robust constitution, the
stated method of his death aroused
suspicion of the family. Other facts,
taken into consideration, seemed to
have strengthened the suspicion.
DR.. Nolan had made all arrange
ments for hurried trip to the border,
but will not make the trip now, after
receiving the secretary's message.

provisions, financial panics can no
longer exist. 1t creates a sound and
elastic basis of credit for the benefit
of the people, and at the same time,
protects every legitimate business en-
terprise We have passed the income
tax law, which forces the rich to bear
their Just proportion Of the burdens
of taxation. The parcel post law, as
administered by our Democratic ad,
ministration, has greatly reduced the
cost of transportation, and, under it's
operations, greater blessings are vet
to result. We have passed in the
house restricted immigration bin
which will shut cut the vicious and un.
desirable foreign element from our
glorious citizenship. We have also
passed a bill in the house, giving fed
eral aid to the states in the construc-
tlon and maintenance of our public
roads. We are now pushing vigorous
ly the enactment into law of a rural
credit system, for the direct benefit
of the farmer. A bill will also be
passed by this congress providing for
farm demonstration work which will
carry direct to the farmer all the valu-
able and scientific information obtain
ed by the government, demonstrating
its practical and useful application.
Many other important matters of leg
islation to the people have received

Upon these facts and the fact that
Capt Lord was refused an inquiry
into his conduct, many leading Eng
lish publications such as The Review
Iof Reviews owned and published by
VIM. T. Stead, the great editor who
lost his life on the Titanic; The Sat
urday Review" Nautical Magazine" 3"
and others, have asserted that Capt.
Lord suffered an injustice, that he
did nothing disgraceful and that he
should not be disgraced
To the average man with a clear
view of the facts it certainly looks
as though Capt. Lord was made the
goat" The Titanic, rushing through
the night at 25 miles an hour with her
commander disregarding repeated
warnings of ice ahead, strikes berg
and goes down, and the man 25 miles
or more away who happened to sight
the lights of vessel at about the time
the Titanic struck, is held responsible
for the loss Of LOO lives although he
knew nothing of the disaster until too
late to render assistance.

CITIZEN
DIED YESTERDAY
BRUNSWICK SHOCKED at AN
NoUNcEMENT OF DEATH OF
MlCHAELIS KAISER,

The people of Brunswick generally
were shocked yesterday morning
when the announcement came from
New York of the death of Mr.. Mich
aells Kaiser, for many years one of
brunswick's leading and most popu-
lar business men. His death occurred
in that city yesterday morning at 6
O'Clock.
Few people outside of the Bruins,
wick relatives of Mr.. Kaiser even
knew that he was ill. Mrs. Alex
Rotholz, a niece, received a letter a
few days ago, in which it was an
nounced that Mr. Kaiser had been
quite Ill of pneumonia, but that he
was very much improved. No fur
ther tldings came from his bedside,
until the sad news received by tele-
graph yesterday morning. To his rel
atives and hundreds of friends here
1t was at first hard to realize that the
information was true, so unexpected
was the announcement of his death.
A more popular man than Michaels
Kaiser has never resided in Bruns-
Wick. For 38 years he was a resident
OF this city, and during all of that
time he was always found in the lead
of any movement that was helpful to
his home city. Associated with his
brother, A. Kaiser, IT, firm of A..
Kaiser & Bro. was established many
years ago, and stands today as Bruins
wick's largest retail store. Mr.. Kais-
er was born in Germany Just 50
years ago, leaving that country when
only 16 years Of age. Soon after land
ing in this country he came to Bruins.
wick and settled and grew with the
city. During his long residence here
he was connected with many enter
prises of the city, but most of his time
was devoted to the large establish
ment Of his firm. Though on many oc-
casions offices of honor and trust were
offered him, he never accepted, and
except on one occasion, when he was
elected member Of the city council,
serving in that capacity with. the same
ability which characterized his life.
Several years ago Mr.. Kaiser remov-
ed to New York, and though he gave
up his residence in Brunswick, this
city still occupied a soft spot in his
heart, and he was a frequent visitor
to Brunswick, always coming down to
spend the Christmas holidays with
relatives and friends. He has often
discussed the probability Of return
ing to this city, where he had made
a great business success. Due to his
sterling business ability, his honesty
in all dealings, he has accumulated
quite a fortune and is still heavily
interested in Brunswick.
Mr. Kaiser is survived by a wife,
three brothers and one sister, togeth-
er with number Of other relatives.
Upon receipt Of the announcement yes
terday morning, Mr.. and Mrs. Alex
Rotholz left Immediately to attend the
funeral, which will occur in New York
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Out Of respect to Mr.. Kaiser the
store of the firm in this city will be
closed until Saturday morning.
