AS DISTRICT ATTORNEY

James T. Colson, the well known
Brunswick attorney, stands an excel

WATCHING OUTCOME

Washington, June Government
officials here today are anxiously
watching the outcome of the Mexi-
can peace conference at Niagara
Falls. 1t is believed that the outcome
of the mediation is hanging in the
balance.
The statement of the United States
deleSahti answering the ctiticism
of liuerta's mission was widely dis
cussed, as it reiterated the declara-
ton that the provisional president
must be constitutionalist. On the
attitude Of Huerta's delegates to-
ward the selection of such a candi-
date depended the question whether
there would be more mediation ses-
sions.
The Constitutionalist agent here,
believes the difference between Car
rama and Villa will be adjusted 1t
is suggested that if Villa and Car
rama act independently in the cam
paign against Mexico City that the
United States task will be more diff

Washington June 19.-Develop-

whether the pr sent diplomatic mis-

At the same time, however, the Car

pacification between the leaders.
There is wide discussion here of
the United States statement yester-
day. The peace delegates replied to
the criticism of the Mexicans, made
public the day before. The Ameri-

reports of the United States policy
regarding the political color of the

AN IMPORTANT
CHANGE MADE BY
STATE LEAGUE
PLAYERS MUST PARTICIPATE IN
80 OR MORE GAMES BEFORE
BEING cLAssED HIGHER
JULY FOURTH GAME HERE
Brunswick Gets the Afternoon Game
and Waycross One in Morning-No
Action Taken On Protested Game
BY CordeIe Delegates.
JULY FOURTH GAME HERE

At the meeting of the directors OF
the Georgia State League held in
Amaricus yeshterday, the protested
games which, it was thought, would
cut a figure in the winner of the first
half, were not brought up, there
fore Thomasville remains the winner.
1t was stated a few days ago by
Manager Reagan, of the Cordele club.
that Cordele representatives would
ask for re-opening of the protested
game between Brunswick and Thorn
asville who won by the locals and
thrown out on Manager Dudley's pro-
test
One important change made by the
league directors was that in refer
ence to the qualifications of Glass
C players. At present any player
participating in fifteen or mere games
or a pitcher playing in ten or more,
is classed as a Glass c playo-, and on
ly three such players are allowed on
any one club. The directors yes
terday increased the number of
games to 80 games for players anL
Is for pitcher. - %
BY the new rule Brunswick now
has room for another high class
player. Seigfried has been counted
as one of Brunswick's three Glass c
players, but under the new ruling he
will be eliminated, as he has parti-
cipated in only 26 games in faster
company 1t would also make Bow
doin, who was compelled to be releas-
ed last week, eligible, as he has par
ticipated in only p games There
fore it will be seen that the only
two men on the local club who have
played the required number of
games in faster company are Jordan
and Reynolds. Whether or not Bow
doin will be recalled is not known.
The final decision of whether
Brunswick or Waycross is to get the
aftArn,pDn game on the Fourtb lof
July was also brought up and settled
yesterday, the afternoon game COM
ing to Brunswick and the morning
game going to Waycross. 1t would
have been impossible to have played
the morning game here and the af-
ternoon game in Waycross without
going to the expense of chartering
a special train. The agreement
reached yesterday wifi no doubt be
satisfactory to both cities.
President Kalmon, who contemplat-
ed resigning his office, was urged by
the directors to continue in office un.
til the end of the season, and he
agreed on the condition that most
of the work be shifted to the Sc
cretary,

Mr.. Colson is one among five who
have seen recommended by Senator
West for appointment. The others
are Roscoe Luke, of ThClnas allie;
John R. l.. Smith, of Macon; John
w. Bennett of Waycross, and John
S. Adams, of Dublin. 1t seems to be
the general concohsus of opinion
that one of these FIVE attorneys will
be named for the place.
Mr.. Colson has received the strong
est kind of endorsement for the po-
sition, not only oy prominent law
yers and others in Georgia, but from
various other sections of the country.
He met with much success upon his
visit to Washington and has received
the support of some of the members
of the Georgia delegation IN con.
gress.
That he is pre-eminently qualified
for the position there is no doubt
He is one of the best known attor-
neys in south Georgia and has made
an excellent reputation at the bar.
He has been strongly endorsed for
tht position and, as stated, infor-
nation received here yesterday, in
dicated that he had an excellent
chance of receiving the appoint
ment.

FULTON COUNTYs
TRIPLE HANGING
FIRST IN STATE
THREE MURDERERS WERE Exc
cuTED IN CAPITAL CITY
YESTERDAY
UNDER CHANGE OF VENUE
The Three Negroes Who Murdered
Mrs. seth irby, Of Jefferson Coun-
ty Sometime AGO. Paid Their Just
Penalty Yesterday.

Atlanta, June 19.-Fulton county
had a triple hanging today. the first
In many years, and the first to oc-
cur in Georgia under the change of
venue act.
Robert Paschal, George and Will
liam Hart, negroes, paid the penalty
for the murder OF Mrsf Seth lrby,
wife of prominent Jefferson coun. "
farmer, several months ago.
A final informal effort was made
yesterday afternoon to get commuta-
tions Or respites at least, but it avail
ed nothing. Hugh Powell, young
Atlanta attorney associated with the
defense or the three negro youths,
asked Governor Slaton if he would
entertain petition for communication,
as Robert Paschal was willing to go
i0n the stand and sweat that the
Hart brothers were not present at
the time Of the crime but that ,wo
negroes named Beasley were.
Governor Slaton replied that he
would not entertain such a petition,
as the negroes had had a fair trial
in all Of the courts and that their
guilt had been established beyond
a question. He could, therefore see
no good purpose in further delay in
the laws course.
The crime for which these three
stretched hemp. was one of the most
brutal and horrifying in the annals
CT the state. They murdered Mrs.
irby and mutilated her body fright
fully with an axe. The full details
are too unspeakable for print.
The people of Jefferson county
were SO int1amed that the militia
was first called out. Then the ne
groes were moved TO Augusta, and
still fearing mob violence they were
brought lere. They made full con
fessiont o officers, while enroute.

and the negroes were tried here, and
found guilty, An appeal was taken
to the supreme court and the lower
court was promptly affirmed.

Administration
Hits a Snag

Washington, June 19.-Efforts of
the administration to have treaties
with Columbia and Nicarauga ratified
ran into a snag today in the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee and
there was evidence that the opposi-
tion would bring on a lively fight
in the committee and a harder bat
tie on the senate floor
Objection to the proposed pact with
Nicaragua was outspoken, some
senators making it plain that they
would insist that the State Depart
ment agree to radical changes in its
construction. The Colombian treaty
apparently was not so Objectionable
to Democrats on the committee. 1t
is said, however, that Senate Repub-
licans will line up against this
treaty.
Secretary Bryan appeared in per-
sen before the committee to explain
the treaties and urged their APPROVAL.
1t became known today that reports
have reached senators on the commit.
tee that several countries close to
Colombia don't look kindly on the
proposal to give that country $25,000-
900. According to these reports,
statesmen in Venezuela, Ecuador,
Panama and neighboriDg countries
fear Colombia may nave dreams of
territorial aggrandizement il she gets
possession of such sum of mon.
ey.
The Nicarauguan treaty proved to
be the target for the main attack.
At least two Democrats were out
spoken In their declaration that they
would extend the Platt amendment
to that republic.
Senator Smiths Nicarauguan reso-
luton calling for an inquiry into al
legged connection between the gov
ernment and American fiancial insti-
tutions interested in that republic, is
expected to form the basis for an In
vestigation of the operations Of the
United Fruit Company in Central
American countries.

ESTIMARLE WOMAN DIED LAST
NIGHT AFTER A LONG
ILLNESS

Mrs. NJ. A. Lan.bright passed
away last night mt S:45 O'Clock at
her home, 719 Norwich street. She
had been in very feeble health since
the 10th of last July, and had been
critically i'll for almost month.
She was the widow OF james IL.
Lambright who preceded her in
death fifty years ago.
Mrs. Lambright was born In Lib
erty county, Georgia, April 3, 1926.
and was in her eighty-ninth year
She was married In 1S43, and join
ed the First Baptist church of Savan-
nah in 1874. She moved with her
husband to Glynn county In 1857, be-
came resident Of Brunswick in
1866, and has resided here ever
since Six children beside large
number of grandchildren and great
grand children, survive her. Her
children are Judge j. IT Lambright,
Mrs. A. NJ. Gatehell, this city: Mrs.
A. c. Ward. Atlanta, Mrs. P. l.. Bal
ley, Savannah; Mrs w. S. Nell,

Mrs. Lambright was related to-
some OF the most prominent people
CT the state, among others being the
late DIR. p. H. Nell, once Chancellor
Of the University of Georgia, and
President of the Southern Baptist
Convention.
She had been member of the
First Baptist church since becoming
resident OF this city and until her
health failed, was active In all it's
work, as well as every movement for
humanity's uplift. She was a wo.
man OF much personal charm, and a
character of rare Christian grace
and beauty. She left the impress of
the most elevating influence upon
all who knew her Her love for
Brunswick and from. her people was
strong and tender, and her interest
In all human betterment never tagged
through all her long life. It Is not
possible to aum up such a life and
influence In words; but 1t speaks for
itself in the loving memories of hun
dreds upon hundreds of those who
nave known her. Her thumb-worn
Bible Is a monument to the secret of
her piety and her power She walk
ed with Gcd, and Gods light shone
In her face. Her passing was as easy
as the twilight.
The funeral arrangements have
not been completed, but it is announc-
ed that the services will occur from
the First Baptist church this after
noon at $3.50 and the interment In

ERECT A HANDSOME COL
LEGE NEAR CITY
WORK STARTS JULY FIRST
CoIored institute Has Ample Capital
To Push the Work-To Be One of
Largest CoIored Colleges in This
Section.

Preparatory to beginning active
work on July first, the Selden In
stitute, colored. is now placing or
ders for all the material to be used
in the construction of 100000
school building to be erected on the
tract of land recently purchased by

tract for the erection of the build
ing to j. c. Moring, colored con-
tractor, of South Carolina, who has
been in the city for some time and
who is now preparing to start work
on the college building The struct-
ure will be large and well built
enc, will be two stories and will be
constructed of brick veneer. The
building will be sufficiently large in
size to accommodate all of the pu-
pills of the school who desire to-
board at the college.
The tract of land purchased by
school Is quite a large one and most
of it has already been cleh-ed away.
1t is the intention OF the promoters
OF the school to make it one of the
largest colored Industrial schools In
this section. There Is ample finance
behind the movement to insure its
success.
The Selden Institute was estab-
lished In Brunswick several years
ago. At first it was operated on d
very small scale, but gradually itD
has been growing, until It reached
such proportions that those interest
ed In the movement decided to pur-
chase a tract OF land and erected a
college. DR.. Selden, who resides up
north, is the moving spirit In the in
stitution and he has the support OF
many others. In the past some good
work has been accomplished by the
instltuTon and the attendance has
been large, In fact, the school used
has been taxed to its full capacity
to care for the pupils.
1t Is the intention Of those in
charge of the school to havel the
building completed and ready for
use early In the fall.

AUGUSTA SAID TO
Be A WARM PLACE
ATLANTA MILITARY MEN MAY
RESIGN RATHER THAN GO
TO MANEUVER CAMP

Atlanta, June 19.-7There is a small
mutiny brewing here among Atlanta
military men over having to go to
maneuver camps at Augusta July
22-31. The local men insist that this
is the hottest place that could have
been picked out; that accommoda-
tions are poor and many other objec-
ticns.
The adjutant general and the To-
cal officers are having a hard time
holding them in line and fear many
designations. Augusta, it is said, is
making every preparations to give
the boys a good time and make con.
ditiCns pleasant.
. The maneuver camp this year is
held entirely under the government
direction, so the state authorities
have nothing to do with the selc-
tion of the camp or any of the ar
rangements. Local troops are being
inoculated with typhoid virus as a
safeguard.
