G. 0. P. SPLIT IN GA.
Republicans Will Send Contesting Del
egations to National Convention.

Atlanta, April 12.-That Georgia
Republican will send two separate del
egations to the national convention in
Chicago, virtually was made certain
today by the gathering in Macon and
Atlanta of delegates to separate Re-
publican conventions each claiming to
represent the Republican party in this
state. Selections of delegates and
perfection of a state organization was
the principal business before each
convention. There has been no indi-
cations that either will instruct its del
egateS.
The faction which selected Macon
for its meeting place is headed by
Walter H. johnson, chairman of the
Republican state committee while that
meeting here was led by Henry s.
jackson, Republican national com
mitteeman from Georgia

plosion was caused by torpedo, fired
at short range. which hit the Palem-
bang This is esta bIished beyond
doubt by the unanimous statements OF
the witnesses who saw the track OF
torpedo. 1t could not have been fired
by the British torpedo boat destroyer
because the torpedo passed some me-
tiers in front of the latter vessel. 1t is
possible that the torpedo was meart
for destroyer but, missing it, hit the
Palembang.
THE third explosion was also a tor
pedo. The first mate of the steamship
clearly saw its track about six lengths
away on the starboard. This torpedo
was aimed at the Palembang, because
the British torpedo boat destroyer was
then great distance away.
With regard to the Tubdntia, the re-
port says in part:
Saw Torpedo Coming.
1.-The ship was preparing to cast
anchor at 2:20 a. m. when she was hit
the coal bunkers on the starboard side,
behind the first funnel The explosion
caused a hole extending from the bot
tom to the shelter deck. Witnesses
observed a streak on the water ap-
preaching the Tubantia at great speed,
directed at the point where the ex-
plosion occurred.
From investigations made by ex-
perts it is clearly shown that the
pieces of metal in the Tubantia's boats
come from a Schwartzkopf torpedo.
Statements of witnesses and of experts
prove that the explosion was caused
by torpedo fired fl ON some distance
by submarine or a torpedo boat
without warning. In view of the fact
that no other vessel was in the vicin-
ity it is evident that the torpedo was
meant for the tubantia.
That no lives were lost was due
merely to the fact that no passengers
had cabins near tho spot where the
ship was hit"

POOL SHARK AT CLUB
Fred Hall Gave Exhibition Tuesday
for Newspaper Men.

Styling himself champion exhibition
pool player of the world, Fred B. Hall
gave an exhibition of his skill for the
reporter boys at the Press club
yesterday afternoon.
His spectacular shots gave good
foundation for his claim to be the
master of the exhibition game. Four
and even eight balls in the pockets at
one shot seemed an easy feat for Hall
He juggled 10 balls on the table with
no apparent trouble. Another stunt
was shooting the balls in the pocket
on the fly. He appears to have mex
haustible repertoire of trick shots.
All corners are challenged to contest
his superiority. He will play any one
fifteen ball call shot using only one
pocket himself He expects to remain
in the city for few days. giving ex-
hibitions before various clubs and pool
halls.

ed at today's session of the annual
convention of the Navy League of the
United States. The admiral did not
appear in person, his paper being read
by delegate.
I'm the elementary parts of the ma
val profession, said the paper, I'VE do
very well. But of the higher branches,
particularly strategy, we have little
clear conception. If we compare the
strategical methods employed by Ger
many and us, we are forced to admit
that the German methods are better
adapted to produce economically, a
navy fitted to contend successfully in
war against an enemy. In the Ger
man empire the development of the
navy has been strictly along the lines
of a method carefully devised before
hand; in our country no method, at
least no logical method, whatever, is
apparent
Compared With England.
Comparing the American navy with
that of England, Admiral Fiske de-
clared it was, "a coherent policy of
Development and wisdom of strategy
established which more than any other
factor has made Great Britain the
mistress of the seas and almost the
mistress of the world"
If a Japanese fleet conveying troop
transports should appear off the coast
of California or adjacent Mexico with
the command that we abandon our
Asiatic exclusion policy or fight and
the canal was blocked 1 doubt not we
should instantly abandon our exclu-
sion policies" was the startling asser-
ton of Henry A. Wise Wood of New
York, formerly a member of the ma
val advisory board.

we have no foreign policy at the mo-
ment," said Mr.. Wood with the de-
struction. of our citizens while upon
foreign merchantships we offer no
armed Inference nor do we offer arm
ed interference when our citizens upon
foreign soil are destroyed, their wives
and children outraged. their property
confiscated."
Germany, Japan and Russia were
placed by Mr.. Wood in the active
group of sea prominent nations, with
one or more of which the Uniteu
States might become involved in war.
while he put Great Britain, France,
Italy and Austria in the passive group
in normal times, there being no con-
flict between the policies of these
countries with those of this nation
"A fit naval policy for the United
States required said Mr.. Wood, IAN

many, Pacific fleet superior to that

YOUR BRONCHIAL TUBES

When cold settles IN the bronch1al
tubes, with that weakening, tickling
cough, immediate treatment is very
important. The breath seems shorter
because of mucous distractions; usu-
ally feveris present, your head jars with
every cough and your chest may ache.
This is no time for experimenting or
delay-you must get SCOTS Emulsion
at once to drive out the cold which
started the trouble, and it will check
the cough by aiding the healing pro-

FORTUNE ON A FLUKE
Odd Clause in His Will Switches
100000 to Wife's Relatives.

New York, April 1.-THE surro-
gates court has sustained a provision
in the will of Charles F. Fowles, an
art dealer in which he stipulated that
if he and his wife should die stimuli
taneously he should be declared legal
ly to have died first Mr.. and Mrs.
Fowles persisted with the sinking of
the steamship Lusitania and so far as
known their deaths were virtually
simultaneous. They drew up their
wills two days before the Lusitania
sailed on her last voyage.
The executor of Mr.. Fowles ST.
100000 estate asked the surrogate to
construe the clause by which Mr..
Fowles left a considerable part of his
fortune to his wife. By the court
decision the income of 100000 will go
to Mrs. Fowles sister, Mrs Dorothy E.
Smith of London and eventually the
principal will be divided between the
children of Mrs. FoWles and Mrs.
Smith. But for the unique clause in
Mr.. Fowles' will the 100000 would
have gone to his next of kin.

Baltimore. Md. Oct. 3f.--The some~
what inactive political campaign In
Maryland has given the prohibition
forces of the State a fine opportunity
to present their case to the voters.
They are using this opportunity to the
utmost.
Scores Of street meetings have beea,
held at night In every part of the city.
Each day at 1890 an open-air meeting
is held in tn courthouse plaza, which
is attended by hundreds of men ana
is constantly growing in size and In
terest.
These street meetings have some
times been attended by exciting incis
dents. Saturday night one of the dry
speakers was roughly handled by =
street crowd when he forcibly resent-
ed an insult to his wife who accom-
panied him. Tho man who started
the trouble was fined 800 in Police
Court Sunday morning and will spend
the balance of the campaign In jail.
Last night another speaker in the
wharf district was repeatedly called q
liar and the meeting was broken up.
The speaker caused the arrest OF
