u. S. MAY SEIZE COAL
Garfield Tells Operators Nation
Has Right to Act.
Urges Leaders of Industry to Get Be-
hind President in Fight
Against Germany.

Pittsburgh Pa, Oct. 24.-Harry A.
Garfield, national fuel administrator,
addressing coal producers from every
field in the country here, urged leaders
Of the industry to lay aside all differ
ences and get behind President Wilson
In the fight against Germany. Mr.. Gar
field conferred with Joseph P. Guffey,
national petroleum administrator w.
K. Field, president of the National
Coal association, and David w. Kuhn,
Pittsburgh fuel director, before adj
dressing the operators.
Mr. Garfield made no reference in his
address to any possible increase in coal
prices by the government or to the de-
mand of miners in the Pennsylvania
and Ohio fields for increased wages.
"As q generation Of men,, said Mr..
Garfield, 1--WE have been trained in the
rights of peace and resent any sugges-
ton that the government can reach out
and take hold of our interests. We are
now people at war. Is it any more
violent that the government should
reach out and take our sons from our
homes and place them in grave danger
and even demand sacrifice of life in
maintenance of principle our presi-
dent has laid down? Is it more violent
that our president should take over
our wealth? The government has that
right.
Il propose to produce fuel for the
home and the factory in greater qnan-
tity than ever. want you to set aside
your competitive differences, make
momentary sacrifices and stand behind
the president in this time Of emer-
gency."

J. S. WILL BACK RUSSIA
No Worry Is Felt Over Loans, but
Nation Must Fight.

Washington, Oct. A.-The London
Times statement that the Russian
situation grows steadily worse, and
that there Is a growing fear in Eng
land that there is ''need for revision of
our financial and other commitments
to our eastern ally" finds no pro-
nounced response in Washington al
though there is little more optimism
here over the plight of Russia than
IN London.
The United States so far has lent
Russia $1O00O0,000.
Russia is aware that to continue
to obtain financial and other assist
ance from the United States she must
continue fighting" an official said.
"There is no thought of abandoning
Russia, especially in the United States,
about the only member of the alliance
that can render maximum of help to
her.
"The provisional government at
Petrograd is known to be loyal to the
allies, and the only question is it's pow
or to hold all Russia firm"

HOUSE WILL HOLD.
DOUBLE SESSION n

ATLANTA, Ca, August 3-The Geor
gia house of Representatives has begun
to really transact business After its
four or five efforts and failures to get
the machine in running order, and stop
its wobbling about over the road, the
rules committee yesterday finally put
one over and there will be an after
noon session today. The morning ses-
sion got under way again at 9 o'clock
and at 3 a second session of the day
will be entered upon. For a week
the committee has been trying to do
that very thing. 1t did it with re-
ports, recommendations and by mo-
tions, but every time the house turned
the committee down fiat. Yesterday
before the principal objectors had ap-
peared upon. the scene Vice-Chairman
Jones asked unanimous consent that
the sessions be fixed for both morning
and afternoon There was no noise or
parade or fanfare over the request and
not a voice sounded against it.
This action is taken to have broken
the ice; the rules committee has
caught toe-hold and it is now gener-
ally taken fer granted that, except Sat
urday, the prosram to the end of the
session will be two sittings day and
the rules committee will be back on its

NEGRO HANGED IN
MOBILE JAIL FOR
BRUTAL MURDER

MOBILE, Ala, August 3.-Fisher
Brooks, negro, was hanged in the
Mobile county jail here today for the
murder of Mrs. Julia May Hess, a
young white women who resided at
Wagar, Ala. and was in Mobile on a
visit. The woman engaged Brooks, a
taXi-cab driver, to convey her from a
hotel to a point she desired to visit, but
instead of proceeding as instructed,
the taXi-driver carried his victim
some distance from the city on the
Plateau road, where the murder was
committed. Robbery was the incentive,
Mrs. Hess having displayed her purse
containing a considerable sum of
money, before entering the negro's cab.
IN an effort to conceal the crime,
Brooks, assisted by Albert Sanders, an.
other negro, placed weights about the
FOCy and cast the corpse into Plateau
creek, an arm of Mobile Bay, where
it was found several days later. For
a time the murder remained a mystery,
but finally some one told the police of
Having seen Mrs. Hess enter the Brooks
negroes cab. He was thereupon ar
rested and a search of his home dis
closed bloody wearing apparel and
other discriminating evidence. Indigna-
ton ran high following Brooks ar
rest, and it was necessary to call out
militia troops to protect him from
lynching.
After his trial and conviction
Brooks sent for his attorney and the
Jail authorities and confessed partici-
patton in the crime, naming Albert
Sanders, already held under arrest. as
his accomplice. He testified at the
trial of Sanders and a conviction re-
suited. Brooks attorney refused to
file an appeal on behalf of his client.

EXAMINATION To
BEGIN TUESDAY
At COURT HOUSE

Five hundred men in Americus and
Sumter county have received notices
from the Sumter County Exemption
Board summoning them to appear for
physical examination to determine their
liability for military service under the
draft law.
The notices were mailed yesterday
afternoon and beginning on Tuesday
morning of next week, the physical ex-
aminations will begin.
The five hundred men have been di-
vided into three contingents, which
will report at the courthouse in this
city on separate days, the first 167 ap-
pearing at s o'clock on Tuesday, the
next 1877 at O'Clock on Wednesday,
and the last 166 at o'clock Thursday
morning. This division of the men was
decided upon in order that the work OF
the examining physicians may be COM
pleted with the greatest possible eff
cheney.
Drs. R. E. Cato, H. A. Smith and D.
s. Mayes will conduct the examina-
tions, using the two petit rooms ad-
joining the courtroom on the second
floor of the courthouse and the grand
jury room.
1t is expected that the examination
CT each man will consume about 10
minutes, although it is possible that
better average can be maintained. With
three physicians working, it should be
possible to complete the examination
OF the entire 500 men within the allot
ted three days.
If drafted man is found physically
fit for service, he must file his inten-
ton of claiming examination without
delay, for seven days are allowed for
the filing of these notices after the first
summons is mailed by the exemption
board. Ten days are then allowed for
the filing of affidavits in support of ex-
emption claims.
The rejection of a man on the physi-
cal examination makes it unnecessary
for him to file an exemption claim.
While it is expected that Sumter
county's quota of 1877 men will be Sc
cured from the 500 summoned for ex-
animation, in case this does not result,
an additional number will be summon
Ell to appear for examination in order
to complete the full quota.
