SILENCE
is PRESERVED
AMERICAN NOTE TO JAPAN is
INDEPENDENT OF ANY
OTHER ACTION.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-lt was
stated officially at the White House
today that representations by the
United States to Japan concerning
the latter's demands on China had
been entirely independent of any ac-
tiOn by Great Britain and Russia or
other powers.
Further than this statement Off
cials in all quarters preserved strict
est silence, regarding the situation as
one of delicacy. State department
officials, however, have admitted that
since the beginning of the present
negotiations between Japan and China
the United States has been endeavor-
ing to influence Japan to ameliorate
her demands and to prevent any in
fringement on the rights of the United
States.
None of the steps in the American
representations, which have been
made TO the Japanese ambassador
here as well as to TOXIC and Pekin,
have been made public.

LARGEST CROWD OF WEEK
AT REVIVAL YESTERDAY
Two Unusually interesting Sermons
Were Preached by the Pastor,
Rev. B. A. Pafford.

The McKendree revival had the
largest crowd yesterday afternoon of
any of the afternoon services. Rev.
B. A. Pafford preached a strong SER
mon at the afternoon service on
Fear Thou Not, for | am With Thee,
BE Not Dismayed. for | Am Thy God. -
He dwelt mostly upon the phrase 81
Am Thy God" He showed how the
Lord was our God but we have de
MED Him, turned cur back on Him
and would not claim Him as ours. It
was presented in such a way that it
ripped the hearts of his hearers.
The evening service was well at
tengded. The pastor preached about
the ten lepers being healed by Jesus,
and only returned and thanked him for
healing them, and had his sins for
given him.
There will be no services Saturday.
The revival will go on through next
week. Services at 3 and 7:30 pm.

MOVE STARTED
FOR j s. COURT
IN THIS GIT !
CONGRESSMAN WALKER TO
BE ASKED TO USE HIS IN
FLUENCE TO SECURE A
BRANCH OF u. S. COURT.

Brunswick, probably the largest city
i'll the state of Georgia where ses-
sion of the United States court is not
held-and a port city at that is go
ing to make fight to secure such Il
branch, and Congressman Walker. of
this district. as well as Senators
Smith and Hardwick. will also be
asked to join in the fight.
Many people seem to be of the opin-
ion that when Judge Lambdin was
named as an additional United States
judge in Georgia that another circuit
was created in the southern section
OF the state, but this impression is an
erroneous one. No new circuit was
created. but merely an additional
judge was named, and no change what
ever as to the officials or the places
where the court is held were made.
Brunswick has long since realized
that a session of the United States
court is needed here. Being port
city il naturally furnishes more bus
mess for the federal tribunal than in
land cities and still session of the
court are held in ValdoSta, Albany,
Athens, Rome and other cities of this
size and even smaller.
Local attorneys point out that il will
take a special act of congress to ere
ate branch of the court here and,
while this cannot be done before the
next session of congress, the cam
paign for the court will soon be launch
ed and the fight will be carried into
congress when it meets in December

ATTEMPT MADE TO
BLOW Up BRIDGE
AN ACT OF WAR is CLAIM OF
WERNER HORN IN FEDERAL
COURT YESTERDAY.

BANGOR, Maine. March 1S.-The
claim of Werner Horn that his at
tempt to blow up the international
railway bridge at Vanceboro, was an
act of war, figured in proceedings be
fore United States Commissioner
Charles f. Reid here today, in con.
nection with indictmentc returned
against Horn in the federal court at
Boston, charging Illegal interstate
transportation of explosives from
New York to Vanceboro.
Counsel for the prisoner, Former
Congressman Joseph F. O'Connell of
Boston argued as a lieutenant of the
German army. Horn was govern
ment agent and that the transporta-
tion of explosives was part of an act
of war with the state department
rather than the courts should deal.
Counsel withdrew Horns previous
plea of not guilty in moving that he
be discharged. The motion declared.
THAT the defendant, being a com
misSioned officer, cannot be regarded
as a criminal by any neutral nation
for he is innocent of any offense
against International law, even though
committed against the municipal laws
of the United States.
"The counts in the indictments
charge the defendant with offenses
which are necessarily connected with
and part of the destruction of the
bridge in the possession OF the British
government, and Whatever the de
fendant may have done in connection
with damaging the bridge by the i'm
proper use of United States territory
does not deprive him of this belliger-
ent character.
;2e counts in the Indictment are
cognizable only by the law of nations,
and the prisoner is necessarily free
from liability of punishment by the
courts of the United States"

AN IMPORTANT
DECISION IS
HANDED DOWN
JUDGE HlGHSMlTH HOLDS
THAT COUNTY OFFICIALS
ARE NOT ENTITLED TO
COMMISSIONS.

If the supreme court of Georgia
uphods a decision rendered by Judge
Highsmith. of the superior court, then
every tax receiver and collector i'll
the state of Georgia who has here
tofore been receiving commissions
from their respective counties on
taxes paid the state Dy railroad, street
car and other such corporations. will
not only lose their commissions in fu-
counties some of the money paid them.
The friendly suit entered by Glynn
county against the tax collector and
tax receiver some time ago, and ar
gued at the last session of the supe-
riOr court, has just been decided by
Judge Highsmith. who holds that the
two officials are no; entitled to com
missions on these taxes. The case
will now be carried to the supreme
court and the decision of that tribunal
will be awaited with interest
The facts i'll this case are best told
III NllC lOllpN ms WIN II appeared III
The News, though used elsewhere, at
the time the case was first taken up:
at has always been customary, not
only in Glynn county it is under
stood, but all over the state, to pay
to the tax collectors ana tax receivers
commissions on these taxes, and it
has been done in this county probably
ever since the county was established
or since there has been tax collect
or and tax receiver. These concerns,
as is well known, such as railroads,
street car companies etc, make THEN
returns direct to the state, the
amount of taxes is paid to the state
and then turned over to the county,
and it has always been customary to
pay to the officials their commissions
just as is paid on all other taxes.
"a few years ago the books of the
country were audited by two auditors
from Atlanta, and in their report they
stated that the officials were not en-
titled to these commissions, and that
report brought out the cases which
were instituted by the commissioners
to see whether or not the auditors
were correct in their position
"Of course if it is eventually decided
that the officers are not entitled to
such commissions. then it is probable
that similar suits will be instituted
by every county in the state Of Geor-
gia The question 10 he decided is
IL.
understood that every county in Geor-
gia pays its tax collector and tax re
ceivers commissions on these taxes,
therefore the question to be decided
is quite an important one"
