NEWPORT NEWS, Va.-The mYs-

Powell is employed in Manila and has
been there since shortly after the
time he disappeared.
Mr.. Powell left here in the midst
of the school term for a trip to New

ually a committee of citizens was
dispatched to New York to investi-

whereabouts. The committees eff

Coming events are said to cast
their shadows before, and very
strange one is today looming in The
Georgia sky in the form of a state
ment made by Mary Ellen Lease, the
one-time popular reformer of Kan
sas, who announces from New York
that she is going to make a special
trip to this state to scOld Georgia for
allowing Leo Frank to be hanged.
She says she is going to descend
on Georgia and explain to the be
nighted crackers" just what their
state motto of Justice, Wisdom and
Moderation" means, and how it has
been ruthlessly violated.
Mary Ellen says she is not afraid
of being lynched herself, and that
she is not going to do any long dis
lance criticism. She proposes to
come to Georgia in person to tell the
Empire State of the South what she
thinks of it.

SUMTER WANTS
HER PROPORTION
Legal Steps Are Taken to Force Pay
ment of Her Share of Auto Tax
Taken by Commissioners.


County Commissioners j. l.. John
son, Arthur Rylander, w. E. Mitch
ell, T. B. Hooks and j. F. Daniel
have instituted mandamus proceed
ings directed against Phil Cook, sec
rotary of state, to enforce the pay
ment to Sumter county of its proper
ton of the state automobile license
tax amounting to $1,056, and which
sum is withheld upon the weak plea
that ninety per cent of the car own
ers in Sumter county did not buy
the S. license tags.
More than half of the car owners
of Sumter, quite likely, purchased
the s. license tags; probably 80 per
cent of them did so, many of them
under protest, but the fact that these
paid the tax is not considered in the
distribution of the license tax fund.
The action, which will be brought
in Fulton county superior court,
seeks to compel the secretary of state
to pay over to Sumter county its pro
rata portion of the state road fund,
or money collected through the state
on automobile license tags to the
amount of $1,056.
The petition for mandamus in this
case becomes of more general i'm
portance to the state than merely a
contest between the state and the
county of Sumter, in that Attorney
General Walker says he will go into
the courts with this petition to de-
termine the constitutionality of the
present automobile law.
The petition is based on a question
which will involve the constitution

When you find your head is still

By and by, as they fire one round
after another, you get so you can
watch a black speck whine through
the atmosphere, describing what they
call a parabola, and if you have glass
es you may see a little splash out
there in the sound. 1t is the splashes
that count.

for a dumbhead or a booze fuddled
blunderer. Every shot is too import

The only time fear enters their
hearts out there on the tug is when
they are steaming to the right of the

like a tennis ball that has been "cut. y

You stand on a grassy mound and
look down into a square pit lined

with green grass that slopes away

But in that square pit are four
gray squat monsters, new l2-inch

installed and that a few days ago had
their first test.
Now. a 12-inch gun is not very big.

REVOLT MATCHED IN U.S..
PLOT WAS ENGINEERED BY FOR
MER STANFORD PROFESSOR
Who Supplied the Funds to Get the
InsurrectiOn Started Is the Only
Remaining Question.

IAClhdIiIIlS NSlNStiOh'
SAN FRANCISCO.-That the in
surrection of the Hindus, which be-
gan in Calcutta, India, last fall, was
Matched in America and financed
here is the information contained in
affidavits received here by the editor
of local Hindu paper. After wip-
ing out the revolutionists the British
government of India took evidence
on the plot and uncovered the main
facts in the conspiracy. The only ev-
idence that appears to be lacking is
the origin of the funds used by the
Hindu conspirators. A large amount
of money was furnished much great
err than one could reasonably expect
the limited number of Hindus in
America to raise. This money was
furnished just at time when the in
surrection would be most serious to
British interests in India.
1t just a year ago that a party
of fifty Hindus left this city for ia
pan. According to the evidence pre-
journeyed to Shanghai, Hong Kong
and Singapore, from where they went
to Armistar by way of Madras. On
their way they were strengthened by
fresh arrivals and new recruits to
their cause. When the insurrection-
lists reached Calcutta they were 800
strong. Acting in accordance with
their plan they Immediately scatter
ed. Many attempts were made, some
successful, to get troops to join the
movement. So well drilled were the
revolutionists in the art of conceal
ment that they were able to stir up
considerable trouble for the govern
ment. Only by the most stringent
measures were they detected.
The entire plot was engineered by
Har Dyal, former professor at Stan
ford University, according to tn, in
formation received from India. In
March, 1914, proceedings had been
started by the United States immi
grafton authorities to deport Har
Dyal. This Hinlu leader left for
Switzerland, whence he directed the
movements of his followers by cor
respondence. 1t is said that in Swift
erland he was nearer his base of
money supply.
Har Dyal, the revolutionist leader,
was dismissed from the Stanford fac
ulty. He had found high favor with
the society women of Palo Alto be-
cause Of his Hindu PHILOSOPHERS. 1t
was charged that he was preaching
socialism and anarchy from his col
lege rOstrum. He was the recognized
head of the Hindu revolutionists in
America. His plan was to raise the
standard of revolt in the absence Of
troops needed in Europe and expel
the British from India.
This evidence was offered before a
court of British commissioners in the
Lahore conspiracy case, where scores
of Hindus were arrested after a pc
riod of guerilla warfare ragged about
the city. Two of the cOnspirators
turned states evidence. They de-
clared that the movement had its be-
ginning in st. Johns, New Found
land, after a series Of meetings there.
at which Har Dyal is said to have
urged unity, liberty, equality and
human rights" and similar meetings
in Seattle and Astoria the moving
spirits in the plot came to San Fran
cisco, where Har Dyal declared he
had American sympathizers.
