NOT AS EASY TO UNITE
AS SHE THOUGHT

Athens, Ga, Jan. 13-Having
been misinformed as to the Georgia
laws on marriage, and being under
the impression that If justice of
the peace married a couple he could
"call 1t off" inside of sixty days at
the request of one of the parties,
Mrs. ]. G. G. Graham, of Madison
cuonty, formerly of this city, applied
to the local justice of the peace who
married her Monday to dissolve the
pack and release her from the new
alliance. Being informed that state
has no trial marriage laws. and that
the only course for her to pursue
would be to institute divorce pro-
ceedings, she appealed to the ordi-
nary to cancel the license issued for
her marriage to Mr.. Graham-and
there met with insuperable OBJ
stacles
Monday Mr.. /. G. G. Graham, of
Madison county, aged about rs, we'll
to-do and prominent in his section,
was married to Mrs. A. B. Teat. of
this city, who had been twice mar
ried and widowed 1t was only three
days later that Mrs. Teat returned
to her home here and tried to have
the marriage annulled.

Greek Queen Summoned to German
Emperor's Bedside
COMMISSION GOVERNED CITY

Several states have general laws
permitting cities to adopt the COM
mission form of government. and
eighty-one of the 204 cities in the
United States with over 10000 in
habitants have adopted it,
buffalo, with about 100000 in
habitants, is the largest city to in
augurate the system, where it went
into effect the first day of January;
New Orleans being the second city
in size, about $4,000 inhabitants;
next in order are Washington, d.
c.. with nearly $4,000; Portland,
Oregon, with about 100000 and
Denver, Colorado, with about $780,
900.
There are a large number of
smaller cities, with under 10000 in
habitants. The commissioners range
in Size from three to seven members.
st. Paul and Omaha have seven
each; San Diego, Cal, and Fort
Worth. Texas, six each: Hunting
ton, West Va, four; and all the
other commissions are composed of
either three or five members, the
great majority having five.
The salaries paid municipal COM
missioners range from $500 a year
in Jackson. Mich, and Sprin gfield,
Ohio, to $1,000 a year in Birming-
ham. Alabama, and their terms of
office vary from one to four years.
As to the practical results of the
system the concurrent testimony of
the many cities that are trying it
is that the dollar paid in taxes goes
farther than it did under the old
system. Debts, generally, disappear.
Wastes that come from duplication
or from friction of departments are
stopped. Disbursements are kept
within appropriations. The quality
of improvements is better.
Centralized responsibility is more
efficient, is prompter to act. is acces-
sible to appeal, and can be quickly
reformed in case of proved injustice
or venality.-Jaekson (MiehD Pa

EVACUATION
OF CETT|NJE
IS PROGRESSING
REPORT OF MURDER OF THREE
AMERICANS IN SONORA ALSO
RECEIVED; SITUATION IS
TENSE; CARRANZA PROMISES
PUNISHMENT TO MURDERERS
(By Associated Press }

London, Jan. 13 News of the
capture of Sadagora by the Russians
is regarded in military circles as
probably true, although no official
announcement has been received.
The town lies a few miles northeast
OF Czernowitz and is the converging
point for five good roads. Previous
attempts to capture it were stoutly
resisted. Experts say that Sadagora
Is really more important than Ger
nowitz, on account of it's stronger
natural position and communication
facilities.
The Petrograd report that the Of
fensive in Galicia and Bessarabia
had been suspended for the present
is regarded as at least premature.
The Russian offensive could not, it
is believed. be suspended suddenly,
as 1t was undertaken after careful
preparation and with unexpected
strength. The object was to demon
strate to the Rumanians that the
Russians were able to assume the
initiative, divert the Teutons from
the Balkans and western fronts and
improve the general strategical po-
sition of their own left flank. While
the full effect of this offensive has
not been determined, entente mill
tary experts assert that its object
has been attained.

SOME POINTERS FOR
FLORIDA JAILERS

Leesburg, Jan. 13-While four of
their number danced and sang to
cover the noise, escape was made
possible for six negroes from the
Lake county Jail at Tavares, when
two of them stamped a hole in the
iron foor and tore away pieces of
the rusted metal with their bare
hands. For two days afterward the
six dug tunnel thorugh the sand
with tin pie pans and Friday night
the six wiggled their way through
the tunnell to freedom. Two have
been recaptured, but nothing had
been heard of the four.
The two who were recaptured told
the story of the escape. They had
discovered that the floor was weak
in spot where the Jail bath tub
stood some time ago, and taking ad-
vantage of the illndss of Sheriff
Smyth and the absence of Jailer Dod-
son. who was attending to other du-
ties a: the courthouse. the negro
prisoners on Wednesday afternoon,
just before dusk. started dancing and
singing. Mrs Dodson was running
a sewing machine in the jailer's resi-
dence adjoining the dollhouse, but
the noise of the singing and dane
ing was enough to drown the sound
of the boot heels as they crashed
through the rusted floor.
The recaptured negroes stated
that their work was done in the day
time Thursday and Friday, it being
so quiet around the Jail at night
that they did not dare to work in
the tunnel. They dug out about a
ton of sand with the pie pans. car
rying ii in a bucket to the two cells
and throwing it far back under the
double hunks.

and but little opportunity for enioy-

The two young Georgians who
were held up by the negroes and fore
ed to exchange clothing, shoes and
mats with them, appeared against
1hem at the preliminary hearing
yesterday. They related how the
negroes forced them at the point of
pistols to tramp ten miles out on the
Jacksonville road. and that they were
then told to beat it," after which
the negroes opened fire on them.
In changing clothing and shoes
with the negroes. one of the young
Georgians saved S35. which he had
placed in his shoe for safety. AS
he was removing the shoe he slip
ped the money under the rail of the
Florida East Coast Railway track,
where they were held up. The mon
ey was recovered later by Sheriff
Perry. The negroes secured only
four dollars in cash from the two
victims, and this has been returned
to them.
The negro Brown, the first to be
arrested, is said to have confessed
that he had spotted Owens and
Stokes, the young Georgians, in
Jacksonville, and had discovered
the other Iwo negroes, and they
followe the two white men when
the latter boarded a freight train to
beat their way to st. Augustine.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION IN LODI
(By Associated Press.

Lodz, Poland, Jan. 13.-By no
means the least of the problems
| which the Germans have to solve in
Lodz is the school question On their
occur alton of the city last Decem-
Der the Germans found hopelessly
inadequate school facilities, and a
shortage of teachers so great that it
was out of the question to supply
entirely the deficiency from Ger
many.
The city has youthful popula-
tion OF some $4,000, and facilities
for only $4,000 pupils. Some 10000
of these attend the Polish ok or
common schools, where they are in
structed by men who themselves
have nothing more than high
school education, and practically no
pedagogical training. The remain
ing 5000 attend private schools, and
come. of course, from the better
classes of the population.
al thc ToIiSH lOlh SCHOOLS,
which are terribly overcrowded,
there are in all but 45O underpaid,
illy-prepared teachers. Aside from
the rumber of children who attend
the public and private schools, there
are rncounted hundreds whose only
educational opportunities lie in the
800 odd Jewish "cheders.
In company with the educational
chief of the city, an Associated Press
correspondent recently made a tour
through Lodz, specially bent on see
ing the "cheders" and their hordes
of pupils. There was revealed con-
ditioI of things almost unbelievable.
The first school visited was typical
of all the rest. 1t was in the second
story of building overlooking a
stable and as large enough to accom-
modate 800 children at the outside.
Sixtyseyen youngsters, however,
were jammed into the little apart
ment, and sat in each others laps to
avoid standing.
Dirt, scraps of bread and pieces of
vegetables remnants of by-gone
lunches by the children-covered

The school inspector had never
visited this particular "cheder" be-
fore, but from long experience he
lighted a cigarette before entering
the room to combat the sickening
odor of the overcrowded place. The
teacher, used to visits from Russian
officials, began at once to protest
that he had no money with which to
pay tribute, and showed obvious re-
lief when he was assured that no
money was desired.
