WILSON HOPEFUL
FOR REPEAL OF

ADAMSON OF GEORGIA ALI
Confident That Measure W.

Washington, d. c., March 2S.-Figl
ing over the repeal of the Panama to
exemption was renewed in the hou
today where administration supporte3
flushed with their victory in the ope
ing contest yesterday, predicted th
would win when vote is taken on i
repeal bill early next week. The co
test in the house today was largely
an oratorical character; although a
ministration and anti-administratic'
supporters continued efforts
strengthen their forces for the fin
struggle.
The alignment of the contendirs
forces in the house remained practs
cally unchanged today. Representati5
Adamson, leading the fight for the n
peal, declared the Sims bill wouI
pass by a large majority. He pri
dicted that yesterdays vote on adoA
tion Of the special rule for the consid
Grafton of the bill to repeal the Par
anna tolls exemption-207 to 176-|
would be materially increased in fayd
of the repeal forces when the bill wa
finally voted upon.
Representative Underwood, the md
jority leader; Representative Fitzged
aid, Minority Leader Mann and othsl
prominent members leading the figh
against the administration forces, con
tinued today to bring every effort I
bear against the Sims bill.
Representative Harrison, democra

Although admitting his anxiety q

The following resolution was offer
ed by Mr.. H. T. Davenport and the
motion seconded, said resolution being
as follows:
Resolved, That the stockholders
of the Americus National, in called
meeting assembled, believing it to be
to the best interest of the stockhold-
ers of said Americus National bank,
as we'll as to all other parties at in
terest, that the directors of said banI;
go forward and consummate the plan
they have in contemplation for the
purpose of liquidating said bank, which
plan has been fully outlined and ex-
planned to the stockholders in this
meeting assembled, do hereby resolve,
authorize and empower, in so far as
We are concerned OF have any author
ity so to do, eight directors of sail
Amsricus National bank, in the name
and behalf of said bank and its stock
holders, to negotiate and complete and
carry through said proposed plan for
the purpose of promptly liquidating
said bank, and, if necessary, to 50
modify and change said proposed plan
and the details thereof as in their
judgment may be found necessary.
ct being understood that said plan
Of liquidation contemplates the pur-
chase of the assets of said bank by
some firm, person or corporation who
will promptly liquidate all indebted
ness of said bank, collect in its assets
anu lOOh 10 SuCn directors ana StOck-

the amount realized from the assets

all claims Of the stockholders as sucn

That the affairs of the suspended o

mat Jne dHalTS Vi lne suSpoheSA
Americus National bank were in posi-
ton looking to speedy adjustment and
the early payment of all of its depos-
itors, dollar for dollar, and the ike
payment of banks and other indebted
ness, was strongly indicated in the
result of a meeting of stockholders
yesterday morning. At this meeting g
the plan proposed by the directors was
fully and carefully considered, and met
with very general Endorsement. MANY
Dawson stockholders attended the
meeting, or were represented by proxy.
Briefly stated, the officers and direc-
tors of the bank propose, with the
assets on hand and to be collected, 20
assume responsibility for all indebted
ness, provided their plan of procedure
is agreeable to the comptroller of the
currency, as they are led to believe
will be the case.
A local fnancier, or banking cor
poration, has proposed to take hold of
affairs of the bank, collect it's ac-
counts and pay off all Of it's indebted
ness. The directors, including the
four Messrs. Lowrey, have already
signed an indemnifying bond protect
ing the individual, or corporation,
against loss in the event the assets
fall short of the banks Indebtedness.
This plan places the onus upon the
officers and directors, the said direc-
tors deciding property to the end of
amply indemnifying the corporation or
banker having charge of the liquida-
ton.
If this plan is successfully put
through the banks affairs can be the
more quickly wound up, and the stock
holders would lose only their original
100000, which, practically, is wiped
out already.
But to the details of the meeting
yesterday:
The meeting was called to order by
w. T. Lane. c. !. Sherlock was nom-
mated and elected chairman. Hollis
Fort elected secretary. The call of
the roll of the stockholders sno--,d
eight hundred 5000 shares were rep

MINER SHOT WITH
BLANK CARTRIDGE
Excitement Caused at Couri
House When He Implies
Serious Injury.

An Italian coal miner employed at
the Pinnickinnick mine who was be-
.lieved to have been shot through the
bowels Sunday night by a fellow min
er, caused no little excitement Monday
morning by walking around the court
houe seeking to have his assailant
jailed for trial
Fear that the man might have been
seriously wounded caused him to be
taken to the county jail for treatment
by the county physician Casual in-
spection Indicated that the man had
been shot and he was at once taken
to the Kessler hospital, but when the
county physician, DR.. c. o. Post, be-
gan dressing the wound, It was found
that the man had received nothing
more serious than slight abrasion
of the kin.
The wound was inflicted by blank
cartridge. The wadding Of the cart
ridge had penetrated the mans shirt
and undershirt, but had not pene-
trated the skin. Only a slight bruise
was caused, which resulted in a small
exhibition OF blood When the wound
was sponged he walked happily out OF
the hospital.
Luigi Dalsant, a friend of the man
who was shot, went before Magistrate
7. G. Nicewarner and swore out q
warrant against Otto Cora, charging
him with the shooting, which, 1t is
alleged, occurred about. 10 O'Clock
Sunday night in boarding house at
the Pinnfckinnick settlement
Through strange coincidence Of
oversights, the wounded mans name
was not learned. either by the magis-
trate, those at the jail or the county
although the latter remem-
bered the Christian name Of August
but could not pronounce the sur
name.
