Little Hope Is Held Out by DEM
Ocrats to Break Republican
FiIibuSter.
TO RECOMMIT THE SHIP BILL
Democrats Plan to Switch the
Situation by Putting the Re-
publicans on Defensive in the
Fight.

WASHINGTON, Feb 6.-Although
few Democratic leaders in the senate
now have much hope of breaking the
so-called Republican filibuster against
the administration ship purchase bill,
plans went forward today for putting
the Republican opposition again on
the defensive, where it stood before
the unexpected bolt of seven Demo
Gratis
When the fight is renewed Monday,
If they find they have sufficient votes,
counting on the vice president in
even OF a tie, the Democratic leaders
will try to get vote on the motion
to recommit the bill with instructions
for amendment. Failing in that, they
may allow the Clark motion to re-
commit without instructions to pass
and later to fall back on the Gore
motion to discharge the committee
from consideration of the bill.
On that the leaders believe they
can get votes enough with the sup
port of the Progressive Republicans
to have the bill reported back to the
senate for general debate, thereby
forcing the Republicans to assume
the defensive to prevent the meas
ure from coming to final vote

7 H { SITUATION IN
MEXICO CITY IS
NEAR CRISIS
STATED THAT FOREIGN LEGA-
TIONS MAY SOON WITHDRAW
BECAUSE DISRESPECT HAS
BEEN SHOWN THEM.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-Pevelop-
mentS in the acute situation at Mex
leo City, where many members of the
diplomatic corps threaten to quit be-
cause of serious friction with the
Carranza government. were keenly
watched here today in official circles.
Advisability Of united action for
the withdrawal of all foreign lega-
tions in the Mexican capital because
of the difficulty of. code communca-
tion and the alleged slight respect
shown them by the Carran2a authori-
ties already has been suggested by
diplomats OF some leading European
nations.
That would leave the interests of
foreign countries in Mexico in charge
of consular affairs, thereby virtually
severing diplomatic relations with the
southern republic.

JUDGE REMAINS IN CITY
TO RECEIVE THE VERDICT
According to Reports the Jury
Is Badly Divided and It May
Be That a MistriaI Will Be De-
clared in the Case.

Another Glynn county jury is ap-
parently having a difficult task in
deciding murder case and the indi-
cations were at late hour last night
that the L. men were So divided that
il would take hours for tlem to even
get together, if at all.
The case of the state VS. Peter Pad
gett, of Baxley, charged With the muir
der of young Frank Wynn, of Jesup,
was given to the jury shol y after S
o'clock yesterday afternoch When
the II men walked into their room to
consider the case, many rem lined in
the courtroom, believing that :, verdict
would be returned in a short time,
but nothing came from the jui room
until the men went to supper ~ 7
O'Clock. They had evidently L. il
a vote or two before the supper hour
but were nowhere near a verdict.
Last night the jury was kept in the
room at the courthouse until a few
minutes before midnight, when they
retired for the night, evidently badly
divided. Various reports, as is usual
ly the case, were circulated as to how
the jury stood, but as a matter of fact
further than that they are divided, no
one really knows how they stand.
Arguments Begin.
When the court opened Yesterday
morning at 9 o'clock the arguments
were begun, and from that time until
O'Clock the II men listened to the
nIQaninpS Of civ q
the state and three for the defense.
Those who spoke for the state were
Dave M. Parker, of Baxley, who open
ed; Solicitor Thomas and II. f.. Dun
Wody, who closed the arguments For
the defense Wade H. Watson opened.
other addresses being made by Judge
-. W. krauss and Colonel John. w.
Bennett, of Waycross.
The arguments of these six attor-
neys were among the strongest ever
delivered in Glynn county court
house. To person who listened to
all six of them there is no doubt that
the jury is divided.
Judge Highsmith, who had intended
leaving for his home in Baxley last
night, remained over to receive the
verdict in the event one was arrived
at. He was up until a late hour last
night, and it is probable that he will
remain in the city until an agreement
is reached or if the jurors fail, until
he decides that there is no possible
chance for the twelve men to agree.
The judge, however, has intimated
that he will not hurriedly declare
mistrial, and it may be that in the
event a verdict is not reached, that
the jury will be kept out at least until
tomorrow night.
The case has attracted great atten-
ton in the city and all during the ar
guments yesterday the courtroom was
crowded to overflowing, a large num-
Yer of ladies being in the audience.
In Jesup and Baxley the people are
anXiously awaiting the result of the
trial, as all parties connected are
prominent in their respective homes

erwise with Miss Nan Gunter in the
choir, and lending her powers of
song to this worthy and noble cause?
We did not know the other men,
bers of the choir, but were particu-
ly impressed with the spirited and
devotional singing.
Mr.. Davis made decided i'm
preston on his audience, giving the
danger of the use of that word-to-
morrow. A number of persons
went up for prayer, and some joined
the church.
AS we glanced over the audience,
there were a number of familiar
faces, among them four ministers of
the gospel besides Mr.. Davis who
occupied the pulpit. They were
Rev. w. T. Tate, pastor of the
church, Revs. Jabez Ferris, N. N.
Burton and J. D. Timmons. A
contingency of Edgefeld soil was
there to make us feel at home, DR..
Price Zimmerman, Mrs. Edwards
and Mrs. E. S. Rawl, Mrs. Ferris
and others who have partaken
enough of our native heath to make
them great ard good. 1t was a
pleasure to meet and greet these
kind friends again, and see the
growth and interest in religious life
of this progressive town.

to be present. At his request Mr..
W. 7. Gaines conducted the SER
vices, taking as the basis of his re-
marks the words, Set watch 0
Lord before my mouth; keep the
door of my lips" He spoke first
of the evil of the use of intoxicants
and other dangerous substances,
which going in at the unguarded
mouth, ruin a man soul and body.
He next spoke of the blight and
ruin which can be worked by the
lips which speak evil-the liar, the
tattler, the slanderer, and the utter
helplessness of the victims of such
evil attacks. The audience con-
sisted largely of young people who
listened attentively to the discourse.

So far we have been able to defeat
every movement for the compulsory

The great world confagration in

our practical and social fabric.

In Memory of a Sweet Little
Darling.

Just before the dawn of day June
30 the death angel again entered the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. w.
McKie and took the other little twin
baby, Harold, to dwell in Heaven
with his little brother who had pre-
ceded him only three weeks.
All that human wisdom could do
was done to save him, but God willed
otherwise. The last sad rites took
place at Republican church, and the
Rev. J. T. Littlejohn spoke lovingly
and feelingly to the bereaved par
ents. Oh! how hard it is to realize
that little Harold has passed into
the spirit land. Teach US, Heav-
enly Father, to say, Thy will be
DONE" for we know that into each
| life some rain must fall.
He had justlearned to say bye,
bye" His mother told me she didn't
know he was saying bye, bye for
eyenion this earth, but he is just a
flower transplanted into the Garden
fof Paradise, where it will bloom in
eternal beauty.
Jesus said: Suffer little children
to come unto me, for such is the
kingdom of heaven. These sublime
words should be a lasting comfort
to the bereaved parents. They have
Christ's positive assurance that lit
tie Howard and Harold are waiting
for them over there"
There is no death, an angel form
Walks over the earth with silent tread;
He takes our best beloved away,
And then we call them dead.
But ever near us, though unseen,
Their immortal spirits dwell, -
For all this boundless universe is life,
Theresis no dead.

In the end he took occasion to
pay a visit to Miss Lisa when he
