ATLANTA Ga, Jan. 11.-By the
terms of a lease just signed between
the federal government and the state
Of Georgia, this state will take en-
tire charge of Blackbeard's Island, in
Sapelo Sound, to use it as a bird and
game preserve.
This is one of the most famous is
lands on the Atlantic coast and on it
the famous pirate is said to have bu-
ried his treasure.
The state has been considering for
some time past the taking over of this
island, which is government property,
and the deal has been finally satisfac-
torily adjusted. NJ. F. Moisclaire, of
Atlanta, will be custodian of the is
land, under the direction of the state

Beware! Dear
Georgia Wives
Be Careful

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan, 11.-Georgia
housewives are warned to look out for
make furniture members who are now
swindIing Atlanta homes and who arc
expected to be trying to in other parts
of the state as we'll.
Atlanta police have received dozens
of complaints during the past few
days regarding crooks who work
somewhat in the following way:
The broken piece of furniture is
glued" together in an apparently
workmanIila manner, the job is com
pleted hastily, and when paid the
mander hurries away, warning the
housewife to let the furniture "set"
for a while.
This gives him time to get away,
and when she picks up the furniture it
falls to pieces, because instead of
glue, the operator has used some kind
of worthless mixture, the base Of
which seems to be common laundry
soap.

w. R. Hearst
Gives Ideas
About Things

ATLANTA. Ga, Jan. 11.-Mr. Will
liam Randolph Hearst, in declaring
himself and his papers for prohibition,
in an open letter to the Georgian and
American has gone vital step fur
ther than any Georgia prohibitionist,
or any national prohibitionist for that
matter, either, has ever dared to go
before.
He proposes in plain words to make
It crime to take drink.
Anti-SaIoon leagues and prohibition
leaders have demanded that the selling
Of liquor be made a crime, and so it
has in many states, and some have
gone so far as to make the purchasing
Of whiskey under certain conditions a
crime, but Mr.. Hearst is in favor of
sumptuary law on the subject, which
snail provide, among other things, in
his own words:
ITO make the taking of alcohol
criminal offense"
The whole paragraph on the subject
reads as follows:
"To make the taking or administer
Jig or prescribing of alcohol or opiates
in habit-forming quantities a criminal
Cffense, from the penalties of which
regular physicians shall in no way be
exempt"

WEIRD OPERATION
Charge Youth Pumped Air Into
Girl's Veins.
She Was Dead When He Sought
Aid at Hospital.

olney, ILL.,, July 25. - Empanelled
to investigate the mysterious death of
Elizabeth Ratcliffe, a coroner's jury,
which adjourned at noon today, re-
turned verdict holding Roy Hinter-
liter to the grand jury without bond
on charge of manslaughter. The
testimony before the jury disclosed the
Ratcliffe girl died of air in the ar
ter1es, believed to have been pumped
there by Hinterliter in an attempt to
perform an illegal operation.
The method, which officials say
Hlnterhter used in his attempts to per-
form the operation, is very unusual.
examination of the girls body dis
closed very strange condition, and
only after a thorough investigation
were they able to learn the author
tiles say, of Hinterliter's attempts to
perform the operation by using a
pump.
Said She Had Swooned.
The limp body of the Is year old
girl was brought to sanitarium
mere late Friday night by Hinterliter,
who asked the authorities to revive
her. All efforts failed. The young
man declared she had been in the best
gy ride. but had swooned as they
neared the city.
He was arrested late Saturday night
and held pending the inquiry by the
coroner's jury. The unusual condi-
ton of the organs of the body and
the methods used by Hinterliter to
perform the operation bid fair to
create the same amount of interest as
was taken in the Orpet case.

States Delinquency Is Smallest
in Its History.
SHAWNEE PAID HERS IN FULL.
This County Has No Claims
Against 1t for Year.
Kansas Record Best in Its
History.

Kansas wrote another prosperity
testimonial today when she broke the
record in the payment of taxes. A re-
port by w. E. Davis, state auditor.
showed that seventy-nine of the los
counties of the state had paid their
1914 taxes in full. The states de-
linquency was $9,54O.39, the smallest
in the history of the state department.
The report today covers the 1914
tax collections and is based on reports
from county treasurers for collections
to November 1, 1915. At present the
state is collecting the 1915 tax and the
record for last years tax will not be
completed until next fall. Final re-
ports on the showing will not be made
for a year.
Usually Up to $4,000.
Usually the delinquent state tax
reaches $4,000. Sometimes it goes
as high as $4,000 or $4,000. Occa-
sionally it reaches a low mark of s20,-
600 Then state officials are happy.
But the delinquencies for the 1917
levy were below the $4,000 mark and
all former records for collections of
state taxes were broken.
Shawnee county was among seventy
nine counties which paid her state
taxes in full. No claims were held
against this county for the 1914 tax
and Shawnee county was today given
a clean bill of health.
Cherokee county's delinquent state
tax was the highest. The Cherokee
county treasurer reported a shortage
of $2,1s6.22 in state taxes for 1914
Washington county was next with a
deficit of $1,142.3S. Summer county
missed the clean record column by
just $25.31.
THE record is the best in the his
| tory of the state. "-safd Auditor Davis.
Usually we expect a $4,000 to $35.-
| 600 delinquency report. But. the re-
! port for 1914 shows the people are In
prosperous condition and are paying
their taxes promptly

San Antonio, Tex, July 25.-Three
negro soldiers of Company E, Eighth
Illinois infantry, were in the hospital
today as the result of bullet wounds
received when they were fired upon
by the provost guard last right. after
attacking H. G. Henne. a lawyer of
New BraunfeIs, Tex. A fourth was

The wounded are:

Unidentified trooper, removed to the
regimental camp.
All are privates. The wounds are
comparatively slight, owing to the
tion a light charge with a maximum
range of about 900 yards.
Threw Rock at Auto.
The trouble started when Henne
was driving his automobile past a
group of the negro militiamen. Henne
says a stone was thrown, striking the
back of the car. He stopped and went
back to ascertain who threw the stone.
He said he was met with threats and
invective. He ran toward a nearby
saloon, followed by the guardsmen.
By the time he reached the saloon.
his purSuerS are said to have mum ber-
