4 FEW CHANGES
ON POLICE FORCE
NOT BELIEVED THAT A GENERAL
SHAkE-UP WILL BE MADE AS
HAS BEEN REPORTED.

Although a report has been current
for some time that general shakC-up
wO"'d take place on the Brunswick DO
lice force when the committee meets
tomorrow afternoon to elect officer
for the year it is not believed thai
more than one or two changes will be
made. The publication of a notice by
the police committee that applications
would be received up to tomorrow
noon, gave some credence to the gen
eral report, and many of the officers
took this as a notice that changes
were to be made.
AS far as can be learned, however,
it seems that most of the present
members, all of whom are candidates
for reelection, will be named There
may not be more than one change.
Just when the committee will meet
has not been stated, but all applca-
tions must be in the clerks office by
noon tomorrow. 1t is probable that
the committee will hold a meeting in
the afternoon, when the members of
the force will be named.

WORK To START
ON IMPROVE
GAS MAINS. TO BE
PLACED eY MUTUAL, IN
CREAsiNG GAS SUPPLY.

TIL Mutual Light and Water com
pany will tomorrow begin work on an
improvement which promises to solve
the gas situation in Brunswick, which
has given the company more Or less
trouble in the past, owing to the fact
that the gas main leading from the
power house on l. street has been of
insufficient size to supply the entire
city.
Starting tomorrow morning large
force will begin the work OF placing
l2-inch pipes all the way from the gas
house down Ellis street to Monk, and
all smaller pipes supplying the va
riOus sections of the city will later be
connected with the large main. These
l"inch pipes are to replace mains of
six-inch diameter and instead of doub-
ling the supply, as 1t would appear, It
will give four times the present sup
ply, as the gas men figure it, These
large pipes have been arriving In the
city over the &. G. Il p. railroad for
the past several days, and practically
all that are to be used in the work are
now on hand
The work will take probably six
weeks, although II Is to be pushed as
rapidly as possible and when finished
gas consumers of the city will snques-
tionaby note great improvement in
their gas supply,

COURT To MEET
AGAIN ON MONDAY
EXPECTED THAT MOST OF THE
WEEK WILL EE CONSUMED
ON CRIMINAL DOCKET.

The Glynn superior court will con-
vene again tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock, and work will be Immediately
started on the criminal docket Just
how long the court will be in session
of course is not known. However, be-
sides the usual number of misdemean-
or cases, etc, there are also three or
four murder cases on the docket and
an effort will be made to dispose of all
of them during the session.
1t is possible that when the court
meets tomorrow the case of Aaron
Williams, charged with the murder of
Walter Newman, both colored, will be
taken up. This murder, it will be re-
membered, took place on Christmas
night, when Newman is alleged to
have been stabbed to death by Will
liams on Monk street. AS the de-
fendant has employed counsel, and
friends of the dead negro have en-
gagged attorneys to assist the solicitor
in the prosecution, it is expected that
the case will be a hard-foHght one.

been renewed on the Bessarabian
front and five important attacks have
been repulsed by the Austro-Hun-
garian troops, according to the official
statement dated January ID and re-
ceived here today.
The Austrian official statement says
"On the Bessarabian front the Rus
SLAMS have again attempted to break
through near Toporouts and east or
Rarinczle. Five great attacks failed.
The well directed Austro-Hungarian
artillery fire contributed eminently to
the rcpulse of the Russians. Since
the beginning of the battle in East
Galicia and Bessarsbia, the Austro-
Hungarian forces of Generals Pfian-
zGr, Batiin and Bothmer have taken
5.l00 Russians, including thirty Off
GERS. Austro-Hungarian patrols rout-
ed Russian field guards near Karpi-
lovka.
"On the Italian front several places
nGar Malborgeth and Raibl were
shelled by Italian artillery. Italian
airmen have been active in the Trent
district. One bomb dropped in Spi-
Iano, but caused no damage.
'1n Montenegro the troops of that
country have abandoned their capital
and are in retreat on the whole south
and west fronts. The Austro-H Hun
galian troops, who are following up
the enemy, have passed the line of
Buda-C Cettinje- -GrabGrahovo and have

WELL KNOWN CITIZEN PASS
ED AWAY AT HIS HOME ON
NEWCASTLE ST. AT EARLY
HOUR THIS MORNING.
HE WAS STRICKEN SUDDENLY
Though III for Some Time, End
Was Not Feared So Suddenly.
Had Been Resident of Bruns-
wick All of His Life.

Captain Duncan Wright. in ill health
for months, but whose condition re-
Gently had shown some Improvement,
throwing out a little encouragement
to his family and friends, passed away
rather suddenly at his home on New
castle street this morning at 1:10
o'clock, and the announcement of his
death will come as great shock to
his hundred of friends.
While Captain Wright's condition
has been quite serious for the past
few days, still it was not believed that
he was in any immediate danger; in
fact some Improvement was reported
in his condition yesterday morning,
and he rested we'll during the day, but
last night he was taken i'll suddenly
and in very short time passed away
The death of Captain Duncan
Wright removes a man popular among
all who knew him, and his acQuaint
ance was probably as wide as any res
ident of the city. Born in Glynn coun-
ty on September 25, 1860, being 55
years of age, he has resided in this
city his entire life, and during all of
that time has been prominently CON
nected with the marine circles of the
port. For over 32 years he has been a
pilot On the Brunswick bar, and during
his life he has held a number of po-
itions of honor and trust. Whenever
{ matter of interest to the welfare of
Brunswick, as a city generally, and as
a port in particular came up Captain
Wright was found in the thickest of
the fight He was a man who loved
his city and his people. Though un-
able in recent years, because of illness,
to engage as actively as he did in
former years, nevertheless, as long as
he was able to be out, he was found
doing his duty as he saw it. Prob
ably no man along the south Atlantic
coast was better acquainted with these
waters than was Captain Wright, and
many rough trip has he stood at the
wheel of his pilotboat, or his tug or
passenger steamer, and steered his
craft to safety, for although he has
been a pilot for 80 years, he has also
served as captain of the potts largest
tug and passenger steamers.
Captain Wright is survived by his
widow, who herself has been lingering
between life and death for the past
several days; one son, Hazel Wright,
and brother, j. B. Wright, and a Sis
ter. together with a large number Of
other relatives.
| Captain Wright was a member of
Ocean lodge No. 214, F. & A. M, and
of Brunswick chapter No. sc, R. A. M,
and these Masonic bodies will have
charge of the funeral arrangements.
The funeral will be held from the
Presbyterian church Monday after
noon at o'clock, Rev. w. H. Chapman
officiating.
/ The News joins the hundreds of 9TH
er friends in extending sympathy, and
INDUCES the hope that better tidings
will come from the bedside of Mrs.
Wright.

Representative Wise acted as chair
man of the delegation and speeches

Edwards, a member of the committee
suggested at the close 1of the hearing
that new survey be ordered, with

heen successfully operated and that
its usefulness can be greatly increased

that they have already completed traf-
fic agreements by which the river
boats can ply into Savannah as well
as Brunswick.
"a telegram from Charles B. Cald-
well, secretary of the Dublin cham
Der of commerce, criticised the work
of the government engineers. "A boat
captain with 100 pounds Of dynamite
has done as much as has ever come
out Of our share of the appropria-
tion,' the telegram read. The Savan-
2ah crew, the message stated, came
about twice year at high water when
nothing could be accomplished in
stead of working at low water. The
message recommended that the Dub
lin part of the river be handled by
a Dublin substation working under
the Savannah office.
Representative Park has arranged
a hearing before the committee next
Thursday for delegations from AL
bany, Bainbridge and Newton, to dis
cuss the Flint river project. The
board of engineers has recommended
100000 for that river. The Georgians
will ask for 100000"

which he described as intermittent

In his speech at Wilkesbarre, Pa, on
Oct. IA Theodore Roosevelt said:
/ have accepted the invitation to
come to WiIkesbarre to discuss the
Adamson law, because Wilkesbarrre is
the headquarters of the great industry
in connection with which 1 myself as
President was brought into close and
intimate touch with the labor move
ment in this country. If what l have
to say is of any value it must be not
only because it represents what in the
abstract is right, but also because in
the concrete 1 applied, in actual prac-
tice, when l had power, the principles
which l criticize Mr.. Wilson for not
applying now. Therefore l wish to re-
capitulate to you just what occurred in
connection with the anthracite coal
strike and to contrast it with what Mr.
Wilson has done in connection with the
law for the increase of wages on rail-
roads.
At the outset, l wish to express my
very hearty admiration for the Broth
erhoods. | am proud of the fact that
am an honorary member of one of
them. l have usually been in entire
sympathy with them. While I held
public office found myself in the vast
majority of cases able to support them
in their demands, because these demands
acre right. But now they have de-
manded legislation raising their wages
to be taken without investigation and
without the exercise of that form Of
Judgment shown by competent arbi-
tration commission; and such de-
mand is wrong, and l stand against 1t
because it is wrong, exactly as l have
stood against the demands of bankers
and lawyers, and mine-owners and
railroad presidents when they were
wrong. l believe in labor unions. l
am proud that 1 am myself an honor
ary member of labor union. But l
believe first of all in the Union to
which all of US belong, the union of all
the people of the whole United States.
In the case of the settlement of the
anthracite coal strike, the action l took
was of precisely the kind which Pres
ident Wilson now says the law should
make obligatory in all similar cases in
the future. But Mr.. Wilson himself
admits that his own action was so bad
that it ought never to be repeated. for
he has assured the public that although
Congress has adjourned without doing
anything, it is his intention when Con-
gress meets to see that it does some
thing to render it impossible for anoth-
er President ever to repeat exactly
what he has just done. In other words,
I stood and stand by my action as the
proper action, constituting the proper
precedent for future action. Mr.. VIII
son himself confesses that his action
was wrong and that the precedent
thereby set is so evil that legislation
must be enacted rendering it impossi-
BILE for another President ever to re-
peat the action.
There is another point Of difference
and a vital point. The action took
