HIGH CO. STOP PETITIONS Prisoner Writes teller to His Attorney lares His Boys Are Innocent and That If People Present Petitions for Them. It Would Indi- cote That They Were Guilty. Macon. Ga.

May Special. ney John R. Cooper for the Rawlings prisoners. relived a letter from J. G.

Rawlings today strongly urging that he top petitions from circulating In the in terest of his two-sons. A grandfather. T. J. Jowers.

rather of Mrs. Rawlings. sought out leading citizens of Berrlen Lowndes and Coffee counties and came up Tuesday with 600. or more names signed to- a petition. to the prison commission asking lor a commutation of the death sentence forMilton and Jesse Rawlings.

Other petitions have also been secured. and It is against these' that the' elder Rawlings is complaining. The letter of today has been given out. and It follows Rawlings Letter. Valdosta Ga.

May 16 190 Colonel John R. Cooper Macon Ga. Dear Sir I' received your letter saying you had stopped the petition. but I noticed In the paper last night that Jack Henderson. of Irwin county had presented a petition to the pardon board for the boys.

Now. Mr. Cooper I have tried to keep down them petitions from the start and If you want to win this case you stop the petitions and never let another be circulated. Now I know what I am talking about. tad very man I have talked to says th would be like me it they were In my fix.

I know the boys are innocent so the petition should be put down. It makes people think that the boys are guilty. Their mother knows It they did that crime they did it without my knowledge or consent. and I will never agree for a petition to be signed to send them to the penitentiary unless the boys or their mother tell me they dig that crime. I think my wife ought to tell me of It then I would ask the people to sign a petition.

The. best men in this town are against a petition but the ones who. have done the dirty work are greatly elated at the petition for they know the petition will kelp what they have' done concealed and I win say to you Mr. Cooper that their Influence reaches farther than' you are aware of. Reason teaches any.

one. that the ones who did this dirty work are going to keep It covered if they can. and the only trouble with you Is you don't understand how they are undermining you. They laugh every time the petition Is mentioned. You see they know that If the boys are sent to the penitentiary they will have no trouble sending Alf Moore to the penitentiary and then what they have done will never be exposed.

You ee Sir. I' and I know why he lied and wny he is stcking to his lies. You could see In the trial how he was protected and you can see how he Is being protected here in Jail now I don't ask you to what I am saying but watch the end and see it I am not right but' stop all petitions and let us. face the music and you will see a change at once. Let rue know It you get this.

and what you going to. do. Yours. G. RAWLINS Work Has Already Been Commenced on the Structure.

Washington. May 18. Reminiscent of the stressful days of the seventh congress were the scenes la and about the house today. Hardly had the Journal of the house- been approved when the democrats. under the leadership of Mr.

Willis of Mississippi began the first real filibuster In that body in a. number of years their object being to defeat the bill paying to the estate of Samuel Lee of South Carolina. 19482 for allowances made by reason of the election of Lee a ne gro contestant for a seat in the forty- seventh congress. This bill had been reported favorably at nine congresses six times by republicans and three times by democrats. The certificate of election which Lee contested was given to John S.

Richard- son. The committee on elections reported in favor of rlee. A vote was taken or the resolution 114 against. Lees held by Richardson. 124 voting in favor of the resolutonl 114 against.

Lees contest progressed no further. The dens. ocrats began a noted filibuster and the seventh congress died by operation of law without a quorum being present. Today a. filibuster followed about similar lines Mr.

lW1l1ama resorting to the well known parliamentary tactics to en compass the defeat of the measure. There were numberless roll calls and still more divisions demanded and taken but. the bill was finally passed. Villa idea Hotel' Sold. Villa Rica Ga.

Pare In Case' of Controversy and Call at OttfcSIs Declared In an Opinion rendered Friday Judge Andrew Cobb of the supreme court of Georgia clearly defined the rights of the public In the matter of" transfers Issued by the Georgia. Railway and Electric Company holding that any conductor who refused to transport a. passenger bearing a transfer wrongfully Issued by another conductor did. so at his own peril. He also held as unreasonable the condition appearing on all.

transfers which provides that. should any controversy arise the passenger Shall pay his fare and call at the office later for adjustment Judge Cobb stated this rule Is unreasonable because evidence snowed that an official of the company was unable to explain what the rules meant. The Interesting opinion was set forth In a document reversing the Judgment of Judge Andy Calhoun In the case of Mrs. C. L.

Baker against the Georgia Railway and Electric Company. The lower court was reverted solely on the ground that It had charged the worldly circumstances of the parties and all attendant. facts are to be weighed. In. the city court of Atlanta Mrs.

Baker sued for 1500 because of" being ejected tram a car for having faulty transfer and refusing to pay fare. She secured a verdict or 60. Cities and Towns the Same.
