JUDGE SPEER
FIXES 4 DATE
FOR HEARING
G. c. & P. CASE TO COME
UP IN UNITED STATES
COURT IN MACON ON APRIL
NlNTH-A RECEIVER WILL
THEN BE NAMED.

The case of Loewenthal VS.. Georgia
Coast and Piedmont Railroad COM
pany. which was assigned to be heard
in Augusta on the 18th of this month,
was yesterday continued to be heard
at Macon on April 10. The change
was made necessary because of the
courts engagements in the famous
James M. Smith litigation which was
also adjourned over to be resumed in
Macon Monday morning.
The proceedings brought for the APP
pointment of a receiver in the Georgia
Coast & Piedmont case for the fore
closure of mortgage made by the
railroad company to the Columbia
Trust company, of New York to Sc
cure bonds aggregating 3,500,0 900, up
on which it is alleged the railroad
company has defaulted in the pay
ment of interest amounting to up
wards of one hundred thousand dol
lars. 1t is not generally known, but
nevertheless true, that about ten days
ago a committee of bondholders in
New York sent out a circular letter to
all of the bondholders of the road stat
ing that default in the payment of
interest on the first mortgage bonds
made it necessary to have a prompt
readjustment of the railroad com
pany's finances.
The bill for the foreclosure Of the
mortgage and the application for the
appointment of a receiver followed.
Judge Speer, instead of immeditely
appointing d receiver, issued an or
der requiring the railroad company to
show cause before him on April IS
why receiver should not be appoint
ed, and now the matter has gone over
until April 10Th at which tytime the
question of. the ultimate receivership
of the road and the reorganization of
its affairs through the courts will be
passed upon.

RUMOR
Of PLANS To
ENTER CANADA
Won JAGOW BRANDS REPORT
AS FALSE THAT GERMANY
INTENDED TO INVADE THAT
COUNTRY OVER TIE SOIL
OF THE UNITED STATES.

BERLIN. April I. (via London,
April S).-Recent press dispatches
has brought word of statements in
the Canadian parliament and Cana
dian newspapers that Germany was
planning, after this war, to plunge
upon the American continent and
particularly to demand cession to
Germany Of the Dominion of Can
ada In a conversation with Herr
Won Jagow, minister Of foreign af
fairs, the Associated Press CORE
spondent referred to these rumors,
"'How can people invent or be
lieve such stories?' he asked "ro
fanny one not entirely blinded by pas
sion it is evident beyond doubt that
Germany never pursued such sense
less aims and never contemplated
doing so.
Can one imagine a state of at
fairs in Europe after the war such
that we should have the leisure or
Ia free enough hand to divert our
strength and efforts to such task
on the American continent?
Equally ridiculous, though unfor-
tunately this phase has a serious
side, are rumors which | understand
here and there are current in the
United State that Germany after the
war will take revenge ON the United
States by pursuing an anti-American
policy, 1t is even reported to me
that some apprehensive souls in
America foresee from victorious Ger
many an attempt TO break down the
Monroe doctrine and to plant its
flag in South or Central America, or
even q design to leap upon the Unit
ed States and crush them in order to
attain mastery Of both continents
Il need hardly assure you such re-
been set atloat by enemies Of Ger
many in the evident intention Of stir
ring feeling against it, are too alb
surd for denial. | ned only recall
that Germany has never placed itself
in opposition to the American prin-
ciple OF the Monroe doctrine
Again | would ask American
doubters to remember the attitude
of Germany during the Mexican
crisis. Although extensive German
commercial interests were involved
and although there was strong de
mand for Independent action TO pro
tect those interests during the pro
tracted era OF disorder the imperial
government at all times stood for
leaving the United States free hand
in its policy toward Mexico. The
Washington government was not at
any time left in doubt as to the at
titude Of Germany
1T is unfortunately true that du-
ring the war when the thoughts Of
every German are bound up heart
and soul III the struggle for German
existence against worldwide coali-
ton, and when the attitude Of the
Washington government at times has
been almost forced. even we think
that there might be some basis for
stories Of an understanding Of some
sort between Washington and the al
lies. strong feeling Of. resentment
and bitterness against the United
States has sprung up among the
masses in Germany.

J. N. IMMIGRATION AGENT
COMPLIES CROP STATISTICS

p. G. Leedy, of the Great Northern
Railway immigration department is
getting out a booster booklet, which
will show the personal crop statistics
of some Of the prominent farmers in
the state. Twelve prominent Mar
shall county agriculturists will con-
tribute to this book and the work of
obtaining these statements has been
left in the hands of R. C. Mathwig
of this city. It is hoped that every
farmer who is asked to assist in this
undertaking will do so, as the magni-
fcent crop harvested last year in this
county will make an excellent show
ing in the book as we'll as reflect a
great deal of credit upon their own
personal record. These books will
be distributed to farmers and renters
in the central states and will be the
means of securing some of the best
possible publicity for this section Of

N1INNESOTA'S CLIMATE
IS ALL RIGHT.
Minnesotans Have Little Reason For
Any Complaint Whatever.

+ It is true this stateshas this winter
experienced some old time traditional
cold weather and heavy snowfalls.
But for all that we have less cause
for complaint than have the people of
many other states in the union.
There has been no loss of lives or
property from weather conditions as
has been the case in the flood swept
sections of the south and east and in
the western sections of snow slides
and hurricanes.
'Tis true some people kick on the
excessive cold snaps we have exper-
fenced in January but it has been
healthful weather and has certainly
been preferable to conditions else
where in the union. Take it all in
all, the Minnesota climate the year
around compares favorably, with that
of any state in the union.- Middle
