important Meeting TO BE Held at
City Hall This Morning at
1890 O'clock.
TO REACH SOME DECISION
President Jemison of the League
Will Be in the City and Will
Outline Plans of League fer
Coming Season.

At a meeting of the baseball assQ-
ciatipn and the fans and business men
of Brunswick generally to be held at
the city hall this morning at 1913
O'Clock, it will be definitely decided
whether or not Brunswick is to re-
tain her franchise in the Georgia
State league. If it is decided to re-
main in the league, then work will
begin at once, a manager will be Sc
cured and players signed, etc.
Dick Jemson, of Atlanta, president
of the league will arrive in the city
this morning and he will attend the
meeting. He is coming for the pur-
pose of looking into the local situa-
tion and ascertaining whether or not
it is the intention of the local fans
to remain in the league. There are
two or three other cities in south
Georgia anxious to secure IA berth in
the league, and in the event Bruins
wick decides to surrender her fran
chise, then it will be given to one of
these cities. AS the opening of the
season is only six weeks Off probably
on April 20, it can be seen that there
is not much time left for action, there
fore decision of some kind will be
arrived at this morning.
According to information received
here the other five cities of the league
have all about decided to remain in
the circuit and while none of them
except Valdosta has secured mana
ger, still they have all started to work
and will announce the names of their
managers within few days.
1t is the urgent request of the di-
rectors of the local association that
all of the fans, as well as the business
people of the city generally, attend
the meeting this morning. President
JemisOn will outline the policy to be
followed by the league this season.
He has devised plans whereby a
great saving can be made and it is
his opinion that every club in the
league can be made self-sustaining this
season
BY all means be on hand at 10: 80
this morning.

EMDEN'S COMMANDER
GIVEN AN IRON CROSS

BERLIN (via Astcrdam to London)
Feb. l6. Lieutenant Commander Won
Mueckqe, commander OF the detail
from the cruiser IGmden which landed
at Cocos island, has been awarded the
Iron Cross, first-class. Every other
member of the landing party has re-
ceived the Iron Cross, second-class.
When the Emden was run down
by the Australian cruiser Sydney,
November 10 in the Indian ocean, Won
Muecke and forty of the crew were
on Cocos island. They escaped by
communicating the schooner Aysha.
A later dispatch from Manila said
Captain Won Muecke and his men had
captured a collier, on which they had
mounted two maXims. The French
ministry Of marine announced, Decem-
Der IS, that the collier had been cap
tured. Berlin announced, February
5, however, that the Aysha had ar
rived at Hodeida, Arabia, with Won
Muecke and his men

TRIESTE PLACE
TO SHIP COTTON
THE AUSTRIAN AMBASSADOR
TELLS SENATOR SMITH LINT
is BADLY NEEDED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l6 The Aus
DR.. Constantin Theodor Dumba. con
ferrcd at length today with Senator
lloke Smith concerning the shipment
of cotton to Trieste. the Austrian port
on the Adriatic Sea. He assured the
Georgian that he has advices direct
ly for the Vienna government to the
effect that the Austrian mills are in
the market for $4,000 bales of Ameri-
can cotton monthly.
And Senator Hoke Smith in
formed the correspondent. the am
baSsador assures me that the Adriatic
sea is open to commerce and no diff
ficuIty will be experienced in landing
shipments of cotton al Trieste" The
ambassador discussed with the senator
the question of paying for the cotton
and gave him satisfactory assurances
that the payments could be made in
such form as to amply protect the
American cotton merchants.
On the strength of his interview
with the Austrian ambassador, Sena-
tor Smith has communicated with
cotton merchants and ship brokers in
Georgia, advising them as to the sit
uation, and urging that steps be taken
at once to inaugurate line of ves-
sells between American ports and Tri-
este.
"The ambassador informed me that
cotton commands II cents a pound at
Trieste" said Mr.. Smith, "it seems
to me that the opportunity for broad
ening the market for export cotton
should be quickly seized upon by the
cotton merchants and ship brokers.
Certainly the Austrian ambassador Is
entirely familiar with the demand in
his country for the staple and with
shipping conditions in the Adriatic
Sea and the port of Trieste. Adriatic
is no contraband of war and, there
fore, is not subject to seizure or an
nOying delays. II is my belief that
cotton may be shipped to the
Austrian spinners through the port Of
Trieste with more facility and safety
than to the port of Bremen, and ex-
perience has already established
thoroughly the possibility of deliver
ing of cotton at Bremen"
1t will be recalled, in this connec-
ton that the Georgia senator per-
fected arrangements with the Ger
man ambassador some time ago by
which cotton was delivered at
Bremen

SAYS TURKEY WILL
SATISFY GREECE
OF GREEK LEGATION
CAPSES DEMAND.

ROME, Feb. 16.-private dispatches
from Athens says the impression pre-
walls there that Turkey will satisfy
the Greek demands growing out of the
alleged insult to an attache of the
Greek legation at Constantinople. It
is argued that Turkey cannot afford
at present to add Greece to the mum
Der of enemies, particularly in view Of
the fact that she knows that Greece
is ready to enter at once on a cam
paign to redeem the lands Inhabited
by Greece still under Turkish CON
troll.
An Athens dispatch received in
London yesterday said the Greek
minister at Constantinople had left
the Turkish capital, leaving his secre-
tary in charge, because OF the insult
offered Greek attache. The porte
had promised satisfaction, but was
slow in carrying out it's agreement

Confirmation of Sale of Assets
of the COrnCern Is Be
ing Opposed.
HEARING HERE YESTERDAY
All Parties Given a Week in
Which to Submit New Bids on
Property-If no High One Is
Received Will Confirm Sale.

Objections to confirmation of the
sale of the assets of the Gray Lumber
company were heard in the bankrupt
cy court yesterday morning by Ref
erfee Crovatt. This case, involving
assets appraised at something like
$3.50, 900. has been in the court for
some time and there has been much
litigation over il.
Recently the holdings of the com
pany were sold by the receivers, and
the property brought $4,000, subject
to a 100000 claim in favor of Henry
P. Talmage, therefore the assets
brought practically $4,000, and were
bid in by Mr.. Talmage The trustees
filed their report and ii was over this
report and the confirmation of the
sale that the fight was made yester-
day
l.. B. Skeen, of Triton, representing
the Downing company of this city,
claimants to a lien against the saw
mill of the company, objected to the
confirmation. He said the amount
due his clients was for supplies fur
nished the mill and claimed that the
sawmill should have been sold sepa-
rate, subject to the lien of the Down
ing company.
After considerable discussion and
arguments by the various attorneys
interested in the hearing, the court
passed an order giving all parties in
terested one week in which to come
in and submit higher bids for the prop
erty. In the event larger bid is re-
ceived than the property brought,
it will likely be accepted but if no
further offers are received the court
will then confirm the sale to Mr.. Tai
mage for $4,000
