SPECIAL TERM IN
LIE FOR TRIALS
IF TIME AGREED.

Judge q. A. Littlejohn, of the South
western circuit, will call a special
term of Lee Superior court some time
in january if the time for holding
the special session can be arranged
without conflict by his honor.
The Board of County Commissioners
of Lee county petitioned Judge Little
John to hold a special term for the
consideration of the cases of G. w.
Chance, Claud Chance, Minter Ken
nedy and negro, Ike Carter, charged
by indictment of the Lee county grand
jury with the murder of A. D. Oliver,
the "shoe-string" financier of south
? Georgia.
Judge Littlejohn has advised the
county commissioners of Lee that it
will be impossible to hold q special
term before the holidays because of
the Sumter Superior court.
1t is very likely that Judge Little
john will confer with Solicitor General
j R. Williams, and the attorneys for
the defense; Messrs. Youmans and
Wilkerson, of Dawson, and Mr.. For
rester, of Leesburg, in an effort to
arrive at date for the special term
when both sides will announce ready"
for the trial.
Regular Term in May.
The regular term of Lee Superior
court is not scheduled until May, 1916,
and without special term it would
mean the incarceration of the four de-
PENDANTS until May, period of six
months from the time of their arrest
The case has attracted attention
throughout the state, and when the
day of the trial arrives for the first Of
the four defendants, Leesburg will find
an array of eager and interesting vis-
itors, including newspaper men from
all parts of the state.
The three white men indicted in
connection with the case were arrest
ed within a week after the indictments
were returned by the grand jury Ike
Carter, the negro, was arrested sew
eral days ago at Dawson.
During the interim which elapsed
between the arrest of the white men
and the arrest of the negro, there
were many startling reports circulated
as to the whereabouts of the negro
The last reports of him from the best
information obtainable, was that he
left his home about midnight on the
night of the day the indictments were
returned, leaving with a party of men
who had called him out
Court Likely in January.
The special term of the court will
likely be called some time during Jan
uary, as this period is during Judge
Littlejohn's vacation time Sumter
court, during September, completes the
circuit of the year, and the first court
On the calendar is scheduled for April
II would be possible for the trails to
be held during January, February or
March but January is expected to be
the month selected by his honor.

Dumba Incident Takes Serious Turn
and Develops Into an Issue of Dip
lOmatic Dimensions; AuStrianS Quit

UTASHINGTON Sept. 8. - Dr.
w Constantn Dumba, the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador, left late today
for the summer embassy at LenoX
Mass. to await word from Secretary
Lansing as to whether the United
States government Is satisfied with his
explanation of his intercepted letter
to the Vienna foreign office outlining
plans for withdrawing Austrian labor
and handicapping American plants
manufacturing war supplies.
The ambassadors statement TO Mr..
Lansing yesterday that he was acting
under instructions from his govern
Iment in all that he planned TO do, APP
parently has made a diplomatic issue
Of the affair far more serious than a
mere question Of ethics or prOprlety
involving only Doctor Dumba himself
Wilson Set Precedent.
Silence on the subject was observed
again today at the White House and
state department and so far as j.
| known no decision has been reached
as TO what course shall be adopted
/ The president, carrying the cabled
/ copy OF the ambassadors letter
walked over to the department dur.

meut Of labor to seek cooperation
in his program for providing new
employment for wOrkmcn who are
expected to walk out of the munitions
plants Secretary Wilson was not In
his office. but he talked with Acting
Secretary Densmore. It is no secret
i'm official circles that the administra-
ton would not couutenanCe any sort
of participation in such a move.

II is understood that the ambassa-
dor proposes to go ahead with his
plans, without regard TO the attitude
Of the American government At the
en- hassy today it was cmpha~Led that
the only step SO far ordered in the
instructions from Vienna was the
/ assurance Of "a proclamation calling
upon all iustro- Hungarian subjects

ment against aiding In the manufac-

| A decree similar 10 this one, it was

CONFERENCE NOT SET
Calranza s Attitude of Def
ance Still Puzzle to
Officials.
WTAsUINGTON, Sept 8.-Admin-

WAsHINGTON, Sept S.-Admin-
w istration officials here are
closely watching the military situa-
tion in central Mexico where Car
ranza's forces are planning to launch
a general attack against the villa
army in the near future and at Tor
reon or Chihuahua.
American consuls at Torreon, Sal
tillo, Monclova, Monterey and neigh
boring towns have been asked for all
available information regarding troop
movements. A message received to-
night and dated yesterday from the
consul at TOrreOn said Villa troops,
recently driven from Saltillo by Gen
eral Obregon, began arriving there
last night
"Convention forces from Saltillo
are arriving here" said the message.
Three troop trains have arrived and
ten trains are expected during the
night Several trains bearing the
/ principal part of the Villa artillery
/ have been abandoned. General Raoul
/ MaderO reported to be cut off. Pas
senger train expected to leave here
| for the north not later than tomor-
row"
| Unofficial reports have reached
/ Washington that General Villa is
planning to evaCuate TorreOn and to
Concentrate his forces at Chihuahua
/ for the struggle with Obregon, Trey
/ ino and other CaTranZa generals,
whose recent successes have paved
| the way for an attempt to close in
and crush villa. The forthcoming
battle, it is recognized here, probably
/ will have an important effect upon
the political future Of the country.
Conference Date Not Set.
Secretary Lansing said today that
plans for the meeting Of the Pan
American conferees next week had
not been completed villa and his
adherents are going ahead with prep
aratiOns for a peace convention and
already have chosen their delegates
What the conferees will do about ar
lrangements for the convention in view
of CarranZa's apparent attitude Of de-
fiance has not yet been disclosed.
CarranZa's answer to the peace ap-
peal his agents here confidently eX.
peCt. will arrive before the Pan-Amer
lean conferees assemble. The rapid
advance of Carranza's forces In cen.
tral Mexico during the last few weeks
has aroused the optimism of hi'
washington representatives. who nov
assert that his complete domination
of the situation soon will be so ap
parent as to demonstrate the reason
for seeking recognition and his viii
llngness to confer with his militar!
adversaries.
