COUNTY
MAN IS HEIR
TO BIG LANDS
RICHARD WOOTEN SUMMON
ED TO APPEAR IN UNITED
STATES GOVERNMENTS
CONDEMNATION ACTS.

Captain ]. Ben Wilson. of Savan.
nah, the well known United States
deputy marshal, was here yester-
day for the purpose of serving papers
on Richard Wooten of Glynn county
in connection with the governments
condemnation proceedings which come
up in the district court for northern
Georgia at Athens on June 10. From
this city, Captain Wilson went to Cam
den county, adjoining Glynn, to serve
similar papers on Frederick Sarmon.
Both Wooten and Sarmon are heirs
to parts of land in the Appalachian
condemned to be used as a national
forest reserve to protect the naviga-
BILE streams on the south Atlantic
seaboard. They were cited to appear
before United States District Judge
William T. Newman to show what
claim, if any, they have to tracts of
land known as the Wesley M. Lee
lands and the James A. Turpin lands,
large part of which lies in Rabun
county. The case was first set for
May 6, but the hundreds of heirs
and owners of the property under
condemnation could not be notified
in time so the date was later set for
June 10.
The Georgia legislature in 1901 con-
sented to the formation of a national
forest reserve in this state and the
work of condemning the necessary
land has been going on for the past
fifteen years. 1t is expected that fin
al settlement of the land disputes
will be made on June 10. The govern
ment is offering an average of $3.50
per acre for the land which has been
condemned. This land is practically
all mountain land, ranging from the
western border of Maryland to the
eastern border of Alabama.

FUND OF 100000
URGED TO CARRY
ON PEACE MOVE
SPEAKERS DECLARE BRANCHES
OF LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE
SHOULD BE FORMED IN EVERY
CITY IN THE UNITED STATES.

WASHINGTON, May 27.--In every
state, county and city in the United
States branches Of the League to
Enforce Peace must be organized to
create public sentimel; favorable to
this country's joining federation of
nations to minimize future wars,
speakers asserted at the leagues meet
ing. Strong public opinion is neces-
sary for the success ui the plan. j.
Mott Hallowell, Boston lawyer, ex-
planned, first because probably no
national adminiqtration would ven
ture to bind the United States to such
a radical step unless this step were
enforced and understood by the peo-
pie: second, because if any admin
istration should so "pledge the faith
of our country and should afterward
be called upon to make good its
word, the ability to do so would de-
pend on the strength of the public
opinion endorsing the pledge.
Officers of the league planned to
solicit 100000 with which to carry
on the campaign.
Philip II. Gadsden, Charleston. S.
G., business man, explained that the
organization of the League to En-
force Peace, effected at Philadelphia
year ago, provided for creation of
branch in each state with chair
man, secretary, treasurer, assistants,
and an executive committee to di-
rect the work.
AT the proper time a committee of
the league will seek to institute sim
liam movements in other countries.
Theodore Marburg of Baltimore,
former minister to Belgium, called
attention to the necessity of the
United States having adequate army
and navy forces to contribute to the
common police division of the pro
posed league of nations.

OFFICE NOT To
Be ABOLISHED
COUNTY TREASURER WILL NO
DOUBT CONTINUE FOR NEXT
FOUR YEARS.

The Office of county treasurer OF
the first of the coming year. That is
almost foregone conclusion. And that
means that the Office will not be abol
ished in four years, as the Gergoia
Legislature will har-:y legislate a
man out of Office after he starts on
his term.
1t will be remembered that the last
Glynn county grand jury, in their pre-.
sentiments. strongly recommended
the abolition of this ofnce, and quite
little discussion followed, in which
many citizens expressed themselves
as being for and against the recon-
mendation of the grand jury.
In the meantime, however, a county
campaign was on for the Office, and
citizens generally agreed that some
thing should be done before the pri-
mary. but that was impossible. r.
s. Pyles, the present treasurer. has
already been nominated for a term
Of four years, and it hardly probable
that the Office will be abolished be
fore the expiration Of his term, which
begins January first, next.
Representative j. r.. Dart has made
the statement that he will not intro
duce bill to abolish the office, point.
ing that he does not believe that
if such measure was introduced that
1t would be passed, for the simple
reason that it would, in way, be
legialating an official out of office.
The grand jury which adjourned
yesterday, made no recommendation
whatever in connection with the mat.
ter.
During the past few years about
fifty counties have abolished the Of
fee Of county treasurer. come thir-
ty being done away with at the last
session Of the legislature, while It Is
expected that at least fifty will be
abolished when the legislature meets
this summer.

PRISONER DECLARED TO
BE A MORAL lMBECILE
Noted Case Comes to an End
When Jury Renders Verdict
In Short Time-Electrocution
Awaits Him.

NEW YORK, May 27.-This after
noon the jury trying the case of DR..
Waite, charged with the murder of his
father-in-law, returned a verdict of
guilty of first degree murder. This
verdict will send Waite to the cleo
trio chair
The summing up of evidence in the
Waite trial was concluded early this
afternoon and Justice Shearn began
his charge to the jury.
The district attorney called three
alienists to state their belief that DR..
Arthur Warren Waite is sane and
was shamming when he tried to
make it appear that he was not men
tally responsible for his acts. There
were reports that the prosecution
had surprise in the person of new
witness, former inmate of the
Tombs, who helped Waite prepare for
the display of callousness which was
the most remarkable characteristic
OF his behavior on the stand
Moral ImbeciIe.
The defense rested last night after
finishing Waite's testimony and
bringing two physicians to testify
their belief that the prisoner was "a
moral imbecile." Both admitted
Waite new what he was doing when
he plotted Mr. Pecks death but de.
clared he had no moral sense. Luna
tics of this type. they said, may
easily appear like normal, ration,/
persons.
DR., Waite entered the court room
with his characteristic, nonchalant
manner The prosecution promptly
began its rebuttai Of the testimony Of
the defense bearing upon Waite's al
legged imbecility and idiocy, by placing
on the stand a neurologist, Dr.
Smith Ely Jelliife, of New York He
testified that he had determined from
an examination of Waite that the
prisoner showed no signs Of defective
intelligence
lie appeared as the average man
Of his early life and environment"
said DIR. Jellilfe my belief is that
he was an average man, somewhat
superficial. inclined to be snobbisii and
OF no great intellectual attainment.
He appeared to be superficial in that
he was trying to cover up, to conceal.
In my opinion he was sane j be-
lieye he knew the nature of the crime
he committed and was fully aware Of
all phases Of it, He had sufficient
mentality to appreciate his acts. He
was sane when he killed Peck"

UNITED STATES IS
NOW FREE TO ACT
Nothing Can Shake Ambassa-
doris Confidence in an Early
Settlement of Titanic Con-
flict that Threatens world.

BERLIN, May 26 (Via London May
20.-United States Ambassador
James Gerard is convinced that peace
is in sight, according to an interview
published in a Munich newspaper to-
day from it's Berlin correspondent. Mr.
Gerard is quoted as saying:
Nothing can shake my confidence
that peace is on it's way"
The ambassador referred to the set
tlement of the differences of the Unit
ed States and Germany as preparing
the way for President Wilson to take
up the question of peace. President
Wilson" he said, "has much greater
freedom of action now to deal with
the immense world problem which
will determine the future attitude of
nearly all the countries of the globe
SIT is useless to discuss at this
moment the question of whether Pres
ident Wilson's intermediation is de-
sired or probable. In this instance
facts alone must speak and one"of the
most important facts is the neutrals
are probably as much interested in
bringing about an early peace as the
belligerents. America urgently needs,
peace and for this reason alone the
American government is under an OBJ
legation to its citizens to do and sup
port everything that serves the cause
of peace. A fact of chief Importance
is that my government is really will
ing to take action for the promotion
of peace.
Idea War Should End.
81 am very optimistic regarding the
progress already made of the idea
that the war should be ended, even
among belligerert nations The wise
and moderate words of the German
chancellor regarding Germanys readi
ness to make peace had probably their
strongest echo in America and
strengthened the impression that
Germany will take all further steps
calmly and with confidence.
"When another step will be taken
and what shape the further develop-
ment of the neace idea will take is
not clear At any rate, I am con-
vinced that my government will leave
nothing undone to support with all
its power peace movements from
whatever side they come Even al
though weeks or months may elapse
before the thought takes tangible
form nothing can shake my conf
dence that peace is on its way"
Referring to the recent crisis in
German-American relations, the am
bassador said:
81 hardly know from what quarter
the nresent good relations between
the United States and Germany could
be disturbed. The establishment of
good relations with Germany is one
of the most important factors of the
dinlomatic situation now confronting
the United States"

GRAND JURY IS
FOR AbOL|SH|NG
PEACE JUSTICES
BOOKS REPORTED TO BE VERY
IRREGULAR AND INCORRECT
MUNICIPAL COURT is SUGGEST
ED AS THE BEST SUBSTITUTE.

The Glynn county grand jury, in
their general presentments read in
open court yesterday morning, took
a shot at one or two county officials
for the manner in which their books
are kept, paid high compliments to
others, gave full report as to the
condition of the county roads and
buildings, cited the financial condition
of the county, and. as has been the
case in years past, took occasion to
city, recommending that the offices
of both the justices be abolished.
1t is a well known fact that various
grand juries in the past have recon-
mended that the two offices of justice
of the peace in Brunswick be abol-
ished, and in their place a municipal
court of some kind be established.
Although the people Of the city gener
ally apparently are in hearty sympa-
thy with such a move. no action has
ever been taken.
In referring to the local justices
yesterday, the grand jury in their
presentments. said:
"The books of the justices of the
peace, ]. T. Lambright and H. c.
Courvoisier have been examined and
found to be very irregular and in
correctly kept as to entries and as to
additions. We recommend that these
two justice courts be abolished, and
the business now handled by them
conducted through a municipal r
some other court.
The question of abolishing these wo
courts is not a new subject in Bruins
wick The trouble started some years
ago when the two justices, J. T. Lam
bright and J. r. Robertson were in
dicted by grand jury. Justice Rob-
erson was convicted and lost his Of
fee, while Justice Lambright's case
was thrown out on technicality
Since that time the grand juries have
repeatedly recommended the abolition
of these courts. A large majority of
y
stood, favor the abolition, and the
people generally realize that there is
no need nor necessity for the court,
and it is more than probable that
strong fight will be made to have
them abolished at the approaching
session of the legislature.
Other Matters Discussed
The grand jury took occasion to
highly compliment Superintendent
Higginbothan for the manner in which
the convict farm is conducted. Others
at the farm are also complimented,
the jury. after discussing the con.
vict system. closing with the follow.
ing: eve think the county is to be
congratulated in having most efficient
men in charge of the convicts and
the farm, and we commend these men
for the good work they are doing"
The public roads of the county were
reported to be in an excellent condi-
ton. In only one or two places, it
was reported by the grand jury, is
any work needed
full inspection was made Of the
public school system of the county,
and those in charge complimented.
and a general review o. county mat
ters generally are contained in the
presentments
