just above the heart. He was shot i'm
mediately after his return from a rent
collecting tour in the neighborhood.
Tenants of some of the houses he
owned are negroes, it was said, and it
$ believed that his action in dispossess-
ing some tenants may have caused ILL
feeling against him.
Immediately after the shooting sew
eral negroes filed into the hallway and
went through Manosow's pockets, TAX
ing part of the money he had Just col
lected from negroes. They overlooked
about 5000 in currency and the vic

into the street from windows and
through doorways.

oPPELN, May IT, (By The Asso-

Committee in Silesia, of which Adal-
bert Korfanty is president, has tele-
graphed the ter-Allied commission
here stating the insurgents now are
ready to retire sufficiently to insure
immediate cessation of hostilities with
the Germans, provided the ground thew
abandon is occupied by Allied and not
by German troops.
The Polish committee, in its mes
sage, admits that the insurgents NAV
have exceeded the limits of prudence
in their actions.
The German industrial leaders who
have been negotiating with Korfanty
concerning his ultimatum directing
them TO sign specially issued Polish
Silesan currency have declined to
support the plan. They have broken off
the negotiations, believing the Poles
will not destroy German property and
that collapse of the insurrection is
approaching.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Chief Jus.
tice Edward D. White of the Supreme
Court of the United States is not ex-
pected to live through the night his
physicians said late this evening. The
Chief Justice was operated on Friday
for bladder trouble.
His pulse is weak and his heart is
bad" DR.. Francis r. Hagner said after
visit to the bedside at Garfield Hos
pital. "He probably will not survive
the night"
Dr. Hagner said that the patients
temperature was normal until o'clock
this afternoon, when he suffered chill
and then declined rapidly. Late to-
night he lapscd into unconsciousness
For four months the Chief Justice
had been unwell, the doctor said, but
he refused to leave his work, saying
that it was important and if necessary
he would die rather than stop for
treatment.
turn for the worse came late this
afternoon, after the Chief Justice had
apparently been making rapid progress
in his convalescencc.
The Chief Justice was missing from
the bench when the Supreme Court con-
vened yesterday. 1t was this which
brought out the fact that he had been
in local hospital since last Wcdncs-
clans have urged. him to have the op-
Grafton, which was of minor charac-
ter, performed, but he urged delay and
1T was only last week that he consent
cd to lay aside his work.

during the last year he has felt heavily
the burden of his sevcnty-fve years
His hearing has been bad for several
years and his eyesight For a time was
threatened by cataract growth which
sit was expected would eventually have
to be removed. The Chief Justices
eyes, however, have not troubled him
recently. His vacations he has alwaya
spent fishing and hunting, and has
called these outings responsible for his
good health.
Although the Chief Justice is five
years past dhe age of retirement for a
Supreme Court Justice he has held on
telling. his intimate friends that he
wanted to stay on the bench at least

educated at Jesuit College in New
Orleans and at Georgetown College in

LONDON, May Premiers Lloyd
George and BRAND are expected now
to meet at Ostend on Sunday, although
no definite date will be set for the
conferences until after the French Pre-
nier has had an opportunity to appear
in the Chamber of Deputies in defense
will be devoted exclusively to a discus.
sion of the Silesian question.
The full membership of the Supreme
Allied Council is expected to attend
but whether Colonel George Harvey,
United States Ambassador in London,
will sit with the Council as planned has
not been definitely announced. 1t is
possible that an American jurist will
also be asked to como to Ostend and
sit in the Council sessions to interpret
the clauses of the Versailles treaty
bearing on the question under discus
sion. French opposition is expected to
this proposal on the ground that ar
ranging for the assistance of such a
jurist would entail some delay.
British Sentiment Unshaken
British opinion has undergone no
Fundamental change regarding the IL
legality of the Polish inva sion of Upper
Silesia although efforts have been
made officially to ease the situation
growing out of the clash of words be-
tween Lloyd George and BRAND. An
attempt is being made to prove that
perfect unanimity exists in Allied
councils and that Anglo-French rela-
tions remain firm.
Although the French Premier ap.
pears to be sympathetic toward Adal-
bert Korfanty, the insurgent leader in
Upper Silesia, he has said nothing that
would lead to the belief that he would
give him unqualified support. In Off
cial circles in London Brands recent
utterances are interpreted as indica,
tive of desire to reach an amicable
settlement of the whole question. His
assertion that the Treaty of Versailles
must be upheld is entirely satisfactory

Messrs. Brooks and Barnett Give
Geological Opinion of Our
Holdings

After spending some time prospecting and
making geological survey and carefully ex-
amining the different sections of Walton
County, we wish to state that the manner in
which they are grouped is in evidence of a
careful study of the section by an experience
ed operator, particularly on account of the
fact that the block of acreage have tenden-
cy to follow those surface formations, which
to the geological profession are very attrac-
tive in search for oil and gas. Wenote spec
tally the market dropping eartheral struc-
lures at different intervals and great sup
plies of underneath vacuum or heavy gas
pressure movements. We also paid special
attention to the numerous general structure
formations and their alignment and relations
as to the existence of anticlines which were
also proofs of the possible fact that there are
no evidences of faulting whatever thereby
by allowing migration. The innumerable
evidence supporting the opinion THAT OIL REALLY DOES
EXIST IN LARGE QUANTITIES ARE so PRONOUNCED
THAT WE FEEL JUSTIFIED IN RECOMMENDING
THAT 1T BE REALLY TESTED OUT AND IN OUR
OPINION AGAINST FINDING OIL WOULD ONLY BE,
SAY, TWO OR THREE OUT OF A POSSIBLE ONE
HUNDRED. In other words, we are positive that a
thorough test of the above mentioned property

TRIBE OF RED MEN
ORGANIZED AT RIVERSIDE

A tribe of the Improved Order of
Red Men has been organized in Riv<
erside with 30 charter members. Al
though this tribe was not granted its
charter until Nov. so, there have
been five more members initiated
into the tribe since that date. This
is the "baby tribe" of the State and
at the district meeting of this order
which was held Wednesday at Au
burn favorable mention was made of
the tribe and the growth that it had
made in the short time that it had
been organized. This growth is quite
surprising when one takes intoj con-
sideration that it is organized in a
small country town.
The hall that was formerly used
by the Good Templars has been Sc
cured and will be fixed up for the
use of the tribe. The following are
