Americus Shriners, the knights
of the red fez and spiketail, are getting
ready for the annual hike to Balm
bridge an oasis of much JOY and foun-
tain of felicity to be uncorked April
22nd. This is one of the largest COM
n!anderies in the state and annually
furnishes many candidates to the
shrine, a pilgrimage having been held
there for the last five years uninter>
ruptedly
On this OCCASION which concerns
practically every city and town in
southwest Georgia that has a Masonic
lodge in it, candidates will be had
from Camilla, Pelham. Meigs, Thomas
vile, Boston, Cairo Whigham, Col
quit, Blakely and other neighboring
towns. Fully seventy-five candidates
are expected, owing to the approach
ing meeting of the Imperial Council
in Atlanta in May.
This is one of the last limitations y
the state before the great event in
Shrinedom.
The famous Alice patrol will do the
work and be on the job all day, arriv-
ing at 11:16 O'clock, and after a dinner
at the Hotel Callahan, at / o'clock, will
take a ride over Decatur's famed roads
at p m. The parade will start
promptly at I o'clock, and will be fol-
lowed by a business and ceremonial
session, and conclude with a banquet
in time for the early morning train
to Americus.
Indications point to a memorable oc-
casion in the Shrinedom of Georgia.

The work of erecting two substantial
street and concrete bridges over Muck

within the suburbs Of Americas, is
well under way and both will be COM
pleted in early summer. The founda-

be the completed structures, costing
something over $4,000. While the build
ing of the bridges is under way tenn
porary wooden structure built along

bridges are on the important highway
leading from Americus to Plains, Pres

OF the onville-Thomasville tour
list route to Florida. The bridges will
have a width of thirty feet, this being
the good roads standard in Sumter

WONDERFUL; AMAZING

Burns GFuDtS a Hint and At
lanta Thrills

Atlanta, Ca, March 18.-The indi-
cation that Detective William ]. Burns
believes Leo NJ Frank is innocent Of
the murder of Mary Phagan, was made
plain by the Interpretation Of remarks
he made this morning to newspapsr
men.
Every criminal leaves some sort OF
track" was one Of his assertions. And
tie paid press agency reporters stood
aghast at his electrifying words.
Later he said the trail is very
plain" More amazement and the
papers started to issue extras.
Then he said; Notwithstanding the
various charges that have been made,
think Solicitor Hugh Dorsey has been
absolutely honest in this case, and
that he never would have prosecuted a
man he did not thoroughly believe TO
be guilty.
But, however keen or smart man
may be, his vision is liable to be dis
torted. l cannot be deceived when I
investigate case" Atlanta thinks
Solomon of old piker, compared with
the amazing wisdom of Billie Burns
in the Frank case. He is investigating
the affair largely for the free advertis-
irg he gets out Of it and probably
for other reasons as well.

Three hams brought to Americus
yesterday by a thrifty Sumter county
farmer were worth fifteen dollars to
him, the three whoppers tipping the
scales at the 75pound notch, while
eager and hungry buyers took them
readily at 20 cents per pound. The
three hams did not constitute the farm
er's entire supply, but just a few toss
eli in his automobile upon leaving home
for the city. Sumter coonty farmers
have plenty of fine home-raised meat
and the unfed here in town are al
ways glad to connect with any portion

HOBO TAKES POSSESSION
Of HIGHLAND ROTEL
FINDING OFFICE OF RICHLAND
Inn EMPTY ASSUMES DUTIES OF
CLERK AND COLLECTS FROM ALL
GUESTS

According to the Richland News M.
Williams, proprietor of the Richland
Inn, abs been victimized by a daring
hobo.
1t is Mr.. Williams custom to leave
written bulletin on the register
book with the numbers of the va
cant rooms for the night, so that all
incoming transients who arrive on
the night trains may select their
rooms, mark them off and retire
without the assistance of a clerk.
A stragling bum who happened
to drop in the office one night recent
ly to warm for few minutes saw the
bulletin and realized the situation i'm
.mediately; he kept himself out of
sight of the night policeman until
the trains arrived, then he again
went in and took charge of the office.
AS the travellers came in he demandei
cash in advance for the nights lodg-
ing and made each one pay.
Some of the transients we're old
customers at the Inn, and the next
morning they proceeded to ask Mr..
Williams regarding the new rules Of
the hotel. AS he did not understand
the travellers made known the man
ner in which the night clerk demand
ed advance payment for lodging and
soon learned that they had been bun
coed of few shehels of silver by
some bum who had moved on to, other
quarters and left the explanation on
the shoulders Of Mr.. Williams.

Adams May Get The Plum
at Later Date

Washington, D. c., March 18. -
After a conference with Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds this morning, Sena-
tor West concluded that the appoint
ment of United States attorney for
the southern district of Georgia may be
delayed for some monhs.
The attorney general is in no hurry
to relieve District Attorney Akerman,
in view of the fact that the govern
ments' case against the alleged naval
stores trust must be re-heard. He
doesn't want to swap horses in the
middle of the stream.
Senator West called at the depart
ment of justice to recommend the ap-
pointment of Pratt Adams, of Savan-
nah. He urged the attorney general
to waive the requirement that Mr..
Adams retire from the law firm Of
Adams & Adams and in course of the
conference gathered the impression
that final disposition of the matter
may be deferred until the naval
stores case has been disposed of fin
ally.

Ell Paso, Tex, March Is. - Thou
sands of persons in this section
OF the country whose fortunes are
involved in military and political de-
velopments in Mexico today awaited
authentic information of the re-
ported battle north of Torreon. In
the last "a hours Is words of a press
dispatch seeped through the censor
and over the single telegraph line
connecting Juarez with the war
zone. 1t was so restricted as to be
scarcely more than an index Of what
il is assumed the censor removed.
Meanwhile the federal agents here
asserted that General Villa, moving
confidently in the direction of Tor
reon, had suddenly come upon the
enemy a hundred miles north Of
where he had expected them and was
defeated at Escalon on the main line
OF the railway and at Rosario
If the federals claims are correcy,
General Villa had to battle for his
life, and is still in precarious po-
sition, with an enemy in front and
another threatening By a flank move
ment to occupy his rear. Federals
assert and there were rumors to the
same effect in the rebel camp at
Juarez that the first federal detach-
ment moved out of Torreon west Of
range Of mountains beyond which
lies Escalon and the railroad. This
column, proceeding in the direction OF
Paral, was said to have come upon
the rebel general Urbina at Rosario
and the latter was forced to retreat
pending the arrival of reinforce
ments. Rosario is 10 miles west Of
Jiminez, and the latter city is directly
in the rear of Escalon.
The federal attack at Escalon ap-
parently was delayed until the west
ern column on the other side Of the
mountains had engaged Urbina. Ex-
act information as to the fortunes of
this general were eagerly, though not
confidently, awaited today.
Federals here claim that not only
was the rebel western column de-
feated at Rosario, but that it was
unable to prevent the entry of the
Huerta troops into Jiminez. If his
proves true much of Villas army has
been cut off from retreat with an
