SENATOR SMITH ATTACKS
BAN ON u. S. TRADE
Asks U. S. to Lift Embargo on Cotton
xports-DecIares It Is Not
Contraband.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Great Brit
aims interference with neutral trade
was the subject of a vigorous and ex-
hausitve speech in the senate on
Thursday by Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia, who pleaded for action to
prevent England from advancing her
own trade at the expense of the Unit
ed States while attempting to destroy
Germany commercially. He declared
the rights of citizens of the United
States and other neutral nations were
being recklessly disregarded and en-
phasized particularly what he de-
nounced as Great Britains lawless
treatment of Americas cotton trade.
Discussing the action of the allies
in proclaiming cotton as contraband,
the senator asserted that cotton had
not been used or needed by Germany
or her allies in the manufacture OF
war munitions for more than eight
months.
Shall we quietly continue to fur
nish Great Britain what she Is COM
PEELED to obtain from the United States
while the commercial rights OF citi-
Zens Of this country are trampled I'M
derfoot?" asked the senator. Great
Britain cannot continue the war with
out munitions from the United States.
THE administration has forcefully
brought to the attention of Great Brit
ain the rights of citizens to this coun-
try. 1t has been demonstrated that
citizens of neutral countries have the
right to ship foodstuffs and cotton In
unlimited quantities through the neu-
trail ports of northern Europe to the
noncombatant inhabitants of Germany
and Austria.
The congress Of the United States
slept over the right OF shippers of
foodstuffs last winter. This was, per-
haps, because the prices were good,
perhaps. because we did not investi-
gate the subject. The lawlessness Of
Great Britain has increased greatly.
by frmness, but peacefully, neu-
trails can easily obtain their rights
from both belligerents.'

GOVERNOR DECLINES
WILL NOT BE CANDIDATE, FOR
PRESIDENT.
Under No Consideration viii He Allow
the Use of His Name on the
Republican Ballot.

Madison-Gov. e. L. Philip made it
known here that under no considera-
ton would he allow the use of his
name on the ballot as being a candi-
date for the republican nomination for
president.
Several republican leaders suggest
ed that Gov. Philip ought to take part
in WisConsins first presidential pri-
mary, but the governor by his decision
not to allow the use of his name in this
connection puts at rest the movement
TO make him a candidate for president.
The impression prevails here that
the republican state convention will
not consider any proposition to indorse
senatorial candidate, but that the
convention will confne its work to the
selection of four candidates for dele
gates at large, receiving the report of
the several congressional districts as
to their candidates for delegates to
the national convention, and the adop-
ton of national platform.
In Madison the impression Is gen.
eral that a second convention will be
held at which candidates will be in
dorsed and a state platform enacted.

FIVE NEGROES ARE LYNcHED.
Georgia Mob Hangs Blacks From
Limb of Tree

Albany, Ga, Jan. 24-Five negro
men taken from the Worth county Jail
on Thursday at Sylvester were hanged
to one limb of tree on the outskirts
of Starkville. The bodies, containing
many bullet holes, were cold when
found. Forty or fifty men. acting with
precision indicative of carefully laid
plans, had taken the five negroes from
the Jail and sped away in automobiles.
They were being held in connection
with the killing Of Sheriff Moreland

days. Starkville is a hamlet three
miles from Leesburg, the county seat
