DEPOSITORS GET
FIRST DIVIDEND
Receiver of the Suspended Bank of
Americus Distributes 10 Per
Cent Among Creditors.

AMERICUS, Ga.--The first d1Vl-
dend of ten per cent to depositors of
the suspended Americas Trust and
Savings Bank, a department OF the
wrecked Americas National Bank, OF
which NJ. M. Lowrey was the direct
ing genius, was paid this afternoon
by Receiver Dykes.
The deposits of the savings bank
were approximately $4,000, and
Receiver Dykes expects to make 9TH
er dividend payments as assets real

women, children and people of slen-
der means.
Each of the suspended institutions
have now paid first dividends OF ten
per cent. The Indebtedness OF the
national bank exceeded 100000 and
creditors expect considerably less
than so cents on the dollar. Stock
holders lost their entire capital stock
of 100000 and were forced to pay
in addition a like amount under the
liability clause.
The same officers operated both
banks.

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON JUDGESHIP BILL
WAS UNANIMOUSLY MADE TO
THE SENATE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE.
AMENDMENTS WERE Tackled ON

Measure Provides For an Additional
Judge in Southern District of Geor-
gia With Rank and Pay of the
Present Judge.
The Georgia judgeship bill, with
amendments, has been favorably re-
ported to the judiciary committee of
the United States senate by unani-
nous vote of the five members COM
posing the subcommittee appointed
to consider the bill. The measure
provides simply for the appointment
of an additional judge in the South
ern district of Georgia with rank
and salary equal to that of the pres
ent Judge.
The bill originally provided that
the seat now occupied by Judge
Speer should remain vacant after he
vacated it. Judge Speer argued in
his letter to the committee that if
the additional judge is needed now he
will be needed all the time, so this
part of the bill was stricken out on
motion of republican and agreed
to by Senator Hoke Smith. The orig
inal bill provided, too, that the SEN
ior Judge of the circuit court of APP
peals should assign the work to the
two judges. Objection was made by
republicans to this feature and it
was eliminated.
The general law covering the divis-
ion of cases between two judges in
the same district is that they shall
divide the work by agreement be-
tween themselves. In case they fail
to agree the senior circuit judge of
the court of appeals assigns the
work.
The house added an amendment to
the original bill by providing that en-
dorsements for the judseship should
be made public by the president.
This was eliminated by the senate
subcommittee.
Senator Smith said that should the
bill pass the senate in its present
form an excellent ground work would
be laid for the creation of a third
judicial district in Georgia. He
therefore agreed readily to the prop
ositions of the republican members of
the subcommittee

LID IS tight ON VODKA
UNDER CZAR'S UKASE TETOTAL-
ISM PREVALENT IN RUSSIA.
Alcohol Is understandable by Either
Rich or Poor Except With Pre-
scription of Doctor.

MANCHESTER of the
popularity of the teetotal movement
in Russia an Englishman in Moscow
says in letter to a Manchester firm
which he represents there;
cat the present moment it is i'm
possible for anybody in Russia, rich
or poor. to obtain in any place what
ever anything in the form of alcohol,
unless at a druggists with a doctor s
prescription. All the government
vodka shops have been closed since
the beginning of the war, and now all
manner of wine shops are closed.
Even restaurants and hotels are for
hidden to sell alcoholic drinks. The
strange thing about it all is that no
body is grumbling and everybody is
pleased. 1t is acclaimed on all sides,
only the Russian peasant does not
know what to do with his money.
"The change that teetotalism has
produced in the Russian village, of
ten so remote from the outside world,
is wonderful. Children, for instance,
are being clothed in way never
dreamed of before, warmly and gen.
9rously.
Government vodka shops, at least,
are closed forever in Russia. That
much has been decided on now, ow-
ing to the pressure of public opin-
ion. Their business is dissolved. AS
substitute it is proposed to estab-
lish a government monopoly of sugar
in order that the poor may have a
cheap supply. Heretofore it has been
out of their reach"

vey to the American people my deep
gratitude"
He then wrote in English the fol-
lowing message:
The magnificent generosity of the
American people in forwarding i'm
mense quantities of gifts of foodstuff
to my suffering people affords me in
tense satisfaction and touches me
very deeply. In this my country's
hour of trial nothing has supported
me more than the sympathy and the
superb generosity of those who have
assisted in materially lessening the
same, and l desire to offer my deep
est thanks and at the same time to
convey a message of good will for
the new year
ALBERT, King of the Belgians."
King Albert was anxious also to
have the American people know, as
he put it, the facts of the story of
how his troops, demoralized and dis
organized by their disheartening re-
treat, almost to the limits of their
own country, turned at bay along the
User and held back the Germans
there, at frightful cost in killed and
wounded to their army and of almost
incalculable loss suffered in the de-
liberate inundation by it's owners of
the most valuable agricultural part
of the country.
in one of those terrific nine days
in the trenches along the Yser," the
king said, 81 know that 700 of our
brave Belgian soldiers were killed
outright"

MAY POSTPONE
CANAL CRUISE
Earth Slides Are Continually Block
ing Channel and May Require
Continuous Dredging.

WASHINGTON-A possibility Of
the postponement of the cruise of the
international fleet from Hampton
Roads to San Francisco through the
Panama canal in connection with the
formal opening of the canal and the
exposition, was suggested today dur
ing a conference between Secretary
of War Garrison and Colonel Goeth-
ais, governor of the canal zone.
Though the great earth slides at
Curacachu have apparently been con-
quered, according to Colonel Goeth-
ais report, the earth movements con-
tinue in the neighborhood of Gold
Hill. IN th0t point the superior in
cumbent masses of earth on the side
of the canal are continuously forcing
rock and soil in great quantities into
the canal prism. The movement is
sufficiently extensive to require the
continuous employment of dredges to
maintain the channel.
While this can be done to meet the
needs of the present number and size
of vessels that are applying for pas
sage Colonel Goethals reported that
he could not guarantee a channel
deep enough and broad enough for
the great dreadnoughts by the date
they are expected to arrive at Cristo-
bal next spring.
The mystery of the earth move
ments at Gold Hill is considered only
question of time, when the earth
must find it's equilibrium.
AS the program of the fleet from
the time it gathers at Hampton Roads
to it's arrival at San Francisco is pre-
scribed by law the officials are now
considering whether it will be neces-
sary to secure special legislation in
case it is decided to abandon or post
pone the cruise because of conditions
in the canal.

MUST PAY FOR NEWSPAPER.
Ohio Judge Renders a Decision I'm
portant to Newspapers.

Judge George Thomas of Column
bus, Ohio, recently decided that if a
man accepts paper that is sent him
he must pay for it. The decision was
rendered in the case brought by the
Columbus Telegram against man
for $2.35. The Telegram had been
sent to the mans home, and he had
accepted the paper. When called
upon to pay for it he refused, and
suit was brought. When Judge
Thomas heard the evidence he in
structed the jury to bring in verdict
for the Telegram.
Judge Thomas rules that the old
common law principle that what a
man received and used he was bound
to pay for applied in this instance.

Albert of the Belgians today told the
Associated Press of the stand his SOL

Invaders. The kings headquarters
ara located on one of the remaining
5rv areas of that small corner of Bel
gium left under his rule.
King Albert also requested the AS
sociated Press to convey to the peo-
nile of the United States his deep
Gratitude for their efforts to feed his
subjects now under German military
rule.
The monarch was alone when the
correspondent was admitted to the
council chamber, not even an aide
being present. The kings tall, angu-
lar. Lincoln-like form was clothed in
the simple undress uniform of a gen.
eraI of artillery, which was without
insignia, beyond braided shoulder
straps to distinguish him from a staff
officer
Physically King Albert looks hard
ened but lines of care show in his
otherwise youthful face. In manner
he is decidedly shy and he apologized
for his English, which, however, was
very fluent. The light from a smoky
oil lamp barely penetrated the recess
of the great beamed hall, from the
walls of which empty picture frames
stared down.
When the king saw the eyes of the
correspondent fixed on these blank
spaces where a few months ago in
valuable Flemish canvasses hung he
smiled and said he no longer expect
ed the Germans to even be in posi-
ton to take the frames.
Modestly he praised the courage of
his soldiers, speaking of them with
great kindness-as though he were
talking about his own children.

When Edgar Sengeer, Belgian at

for the relief of Belgium, entered
and presented King Albert with re-
port from the commission showing
that enough food was in sight to feed

Former Decision in Police Court Not
Binding as to Future Prose-

PLEA OF BURNS IS DISMISSED

Decision once made by Police Judge
Foster that the Omaha bread ordinance is
Unconstitutional does not prevent future
prosecutions for violations of the enact
ment. District Judge Redick decided in
the case against the jay Burns Baking
company, charged with selling under
weight bread
As a result, 1t Is anticipated by city
Prosecutor Anheuser, the Hlklpg COM
pany win be compelled TO defend the
suits against II on their merits. It in
terposed a plea that on account Of Fos-
ter's decision a later conviction by Acting
Judge Hascall was null and void. 1t was
this plea which was overruled by the dis
trict Judge.
Judge Redick did not pass on the con-
stitutionaIity OF the bread ordinance.
This point, It was said, will next be raised
by the baking company. Similar ordl-
nances, according to Anheuser, have
been upheld by supreme courts of several
states and by the United States supreme
court
Because the ordinance applies only to
the size OF loaves and does not dictate
their price. It is Regulatory" and a
