CREDITORS FAIL IN ACTION
AGAINST BLAKELY CITIZEN.
The Claims Aggregated Less Than
81 1000. Was Represented by
a Dawson Attorney.

COLUMBUS, Ga.-The involun-
tary bankruptcy proceeding brought
against D. w. James, of Blakely, was
dismissed in federal court today.
Some time ago a petition was filed
against Mr.. James by three local
creditors at Blakely, alleging that
he had committed an act Of bank
ruptcy. The claims aggregated less
than $1,000.
The merits of the case were really
not entered into in the hearing in the
federal court. 1t was shown that Mf
James principal income was from
filling the soil and thus, under the
provisions of the bankruptcy act this
proceeding could not be brought
AGAINST him. He farms $1,000 acres,
and his employees on his farm, in the
bank. warehouse and fertilizer fac
tory which he heads aggregate about
/ 900 in number. He is said to be
worth about a hal fmillion dollars.
Mr.. James contested the bankrupt
cy proceedings vigorously, being rep
resented at the hearing by Attorney

WILL HURRY THE RE7SENTENC|NC
 OF MEX|CANS

PHOENIX, August 23.-The of flee of the attorney general is await ing the making up of copies of the record of the proceedings before Judge McAllister, sitting in Pinal county, resulting in the taking of an appeal from an order by the judge de nying their freedom to the murderers, Chavez, Rodriguez, Perez and Peral- ta, whose application for writs of habeas corpus Judge McAllister had a moment before granted.
 Copies of the record will be pre- sented to the courts of this and Yava- pal counties. whence all these mur- derers had been sentenced under par agraph 1147, Chapter II, of the penal code.
 If this action is taken by the Stu perior courts of these counties the long delay of hearing before the Supreme court will be avoided. The most that the murderers could hope from Supreme court hearing would he an order to the lower courts for the correction of the form of the death warrants, the curing of the de fleets on which the applications for the writs were based. The death war rants which would follow the immed- fate resentencing of the murderers by the Superior courts would be made out in proper form anyhow and so that the end would be the same and would be more quickly ar rived at.
 It is thought that the Supreme court would dismiss the whole mat ter if it should come before it for the proceedings were introduced plainly only for the purpose of delay and not because the murderers had been deprived of any right at any stage.

PROMINENT GERMANS ADJ VOCATE THE SEEKING OF HONORABLE PEACE WITH THEIR ENEMIES.

AMSTERDAM, August B. - A secret conference has been called by the German chancellor before the re- assembling of the reichstag. Karl Helferich, secretary of the treasury, explained that a new loan would ex haust the empires resources and an increase of bonds will cause bank ruptcy. He urged that it is needful to prepare fer an honorable peace.
 Chancellor Bethmann-H Hollweg, ac cording to the same report, declared that the difficulties of the empire arc increasing and advised his hearers to use their influence to soften the gov ernment's bellicose inclinations and prepare for peace proposals accept able to the four members of the en- tente.
 Dr. Bernhart Dernberg reported the failure of his mission to the United States and the Telegraph says this made a deep impression. Gen eral Won AEoltkc, former chief of staff, agreed with the chancellor and said that only those not fully in formed have any hope of the possi- bility of a complete Russian defeat. The story says that despite these dec larations the meeting refused to adopt a resolution advocating moder- alton in the reichstae.

 LONDON, August 23.-The Germans naval reverses in the Gulf of Riga and in the Baltic, German success in occupying the fortress of Ossowetz and the British bombardment of the Ger man naval base of Zebrugge, fur nished a series of new features which temporarily diverted atten- ton from the gravity of the issues growing out of the sinking of the Arabic.
 The German version of the Riga battle was not given out, but the definiteness of the offic- ial report on the sinking or crip- bling of the German battle cruiser Moltke, two other cruisers and eight torpedo boats, sent wave of enthusiasm throughout the country and dispelled the depres- sion over the Russian retreat on land.

Positive Proof.

LONDON, August 23-Offi- cial and unofficial statements were made bearing on the pre- else status of the Arabic at the time she was sunk, the purpose being to show definitely that she was an unoffending merchant ship proceeding on her course and that without question she was struck by a torpedo fired by a German submarine. The latter point became increasingly impor- tant, owing to cablcd reports from the United States stating that some Berlin officials main tained that since there was no proof anyone aboard the Arabic saw the submarine, the sinking might have been the result of striking a mine.
