BRUNSWICK WILL
GET ON''C|RCU|I
KLINE COMPANY TO PUT ON,
SPECIALS EACH WEEK FOR
THE CHILDREN.

The better films committee that is
working toward the establishment Of
Saturday morning moving pictures for
children is in a fair way to become a
part Of a circuit now being arranged
by the Kline motion picture studios
for cities throughout Georgia. The
following extract from letter from
the Kline company gives an idea of
the sort Of ideal toward which they
are working:
"Mr. Klines one aim has been the
uplift of the motion picture business
to high educational standard and the
subjects OF this circuit will include
comedies, fairy tales, educational, sci.
entific and travel series throughout
Europe as well as America, many OF
which are hand-colored.
The circuit begins in Atlanta and
Brunswick is to have the next re-
leases Saturday morning at 1890 at
the Pastime will be shown THE OBJ
stinate Umbrella" "Uncle's Palm
Tree Little Drops Of Water" Ger

1t is earnestly hoped that the pic
lures will prove all that the committee
hopes, and that the patronage will
warrant continuance on the newly
formed circuit.

PRESENTMENTS
Of GRAND JURY
READ IN COURT
RECOGNIZE ENDATION is MADE
FOR ABOLITION OF TWO
JUSTICE COURTS-OTHER
MATTERS DISCUSSED.

But one important recommendation
was made in the general presentments
If the GlYnn county grand jury, which
we're read in the superior court YES
terday morning, and that was for the
abolition of the two justice courts now
in existence in the city, and which
have previously come in for criticism
by Glynn county grand juries. The
present one, however, is the first that
has gone on record as favoring the
abolition of the courts. Whether or
not the recommendation will be car
ried out is not known, but it will not
be surprising if a bill is introduced at
the next session of the legislature do
ing away with these courts.
The reference to these courts in the
presentments was as follows:
We have looked over the books of
Justices Lambright and Courvoiser. in
the city Of Brunswick, and find that a
great many cases are not properly or
correctly entered on both the evil and
criminal docket, and we recommend
that the justice courts in the city of
Brunswick be abolished"
The jury took occasion also to pro
test against the present special tax
law of the state, for the reason that it
does not designate any particular Off
cial to collect these taxes. The jury
urges the representative in the legisla-
ture from this county to have an
amendment passed making il the duty
of county officials to see that this tax
is collected.
Various committees of the jury in.
spected the books of all of tho county
visited the public buildings
the county and made mon
tion of all of them A special commit
tee also went over all of the public
roads OF the county, and, as a general
rule, they are in an excellent condi-
ton. Many other matters of interest
were touched upon in the present
mentS.

HALF MILLION
FOR THIS PORT
TO Be DELAYED
RIVERS AND HARBORS COM
MlTTEE NOT TO MAKE APP
PRoPRlATioNS THIS YEAR
FOR ANY NEW PROJECTS.

Brunswick will fot get her $4,000
appropriation for the new river prof
Get, according 20 information received
flom Washington. not because tho
rivers and harbors committee has
turned down the project, but simply
because that committee has decided
not to make appropriations for any
new projects during the present ses
sion, and only to make an appropria.
lion of something like $40,000,000 for
maintenance.
The announcement was sent out
from Washington yesterday that such
action had been taken by the rivers
and harbors committee, and it natur-
ally caused some disappointment in
Bruins wick, as the Board Of Trade was
hopeful OF securing the Appropriation
at this session, inasmuch as it haC
been recommended BY the engineer IL
charge of this district, by the board
Of army engineers hnd Gen. Dan c
Kingman, chief of Engineers. How.
ever, the action of the committee will
only mean delay, bs the apprOpria-
ton will unquestio1ably be made
later.
A hearing had been arranged for
this week in Washington on the local
project, but Congressman Walker
wired Secretary Weatherly of the
Board of Trade few days ago that
the rivers and harbors committee
would probably decided not to make
app opriations for 3ns new projects,
and that consequently the hearing
would not take place.

SEPARATELY DECIDE TIE
SUFFRAGE QUESTION.


NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-President

movement for an amendment to the
constitution providing for woman suf-
rage. He spoke briefly to 200 mem
bers OF the Congressional Union for
! Woman Suffrage and told them that
hc felt The suffrage question should

state
The president received the suffra-
gistS after they had waited for him
Ifor more than ali hour at hotel.
Efforts made by Mrs. Mary Bird,
wife of 4 Columbia University pro
fessor, TO cross examine the president
on his position met with failure. He
refused courte0usly to reply to her
queries.
The president apologized to the
women for not seeing them earlier,
but told them he had been at work
since arriving in New York. He ad-
fded that 'it may be that my mind
works slowly, but | have always
thought that there were things which
should be built slowly and therefore
made more lasting. may be little
old in fashion in my view that the
suffrage question should be handled
by the state"
The president admitted that he had
promised to discuss with the leaders
of congress the suffrage question, but
that other matters had come up
which he thought should take prefer
Cnce
"There are things that cannot
wait" said the president. "Action
be deliberate"
Mr. Wilson promised again that he
would discuss the subject with men,
bers of congress as soon as possible.
He declared, however, that he was
still convinced that the suffrage issue
Isholudl be worked out by the states.
He added that he saw no reason for
the women to be discouraged by the
progress being made.
The president arrived here at
a. m. today to face a program call
ing for a reception by clergymen, the
delivery of addresses before two
business organizations and the prob
ability that he would be interviewed
by 200 women seeking his approval
of suffrage amendment to the
constitution and by delegation OF
German-Amrrican who want him
to persuade the British government
to permit the shipment OF milk
from America to bbies in Ger.

| He was accompanied by Mrs. Viii
| son, his secretary, Joseph Tumulty
and Dr.. Cary T. Grayson. The party
remained on board the train until s
a. m, when a committee from the
Railroad Business Mems association
arrived to escort them to the Wal
! dorf Astoria hotel.
A delegation of women from the
! Congressional Union for Women
Suffrage had promised to await his
arrival at the hotel to ask him for
his support for the Susan b. An
thony mendment in congress. They
had been informed by associates in
Washington that the president was
willing to meet them, but had ap-
pointed no definite hour for the
meeting
Mr. Wilson remained at the hotel
