0. Davidson, William F. Vilas, former
United States senator.from Wisconsin
an<l postmaster general of the United
States; L. ’V."Sorter, Senator J. M.
Whitehead, Senator E. E. Burns, As
semblymen L. H. Bancroft and A. S.
Baker.
This committee comes from Wiscon
sin to examine Georgia marble fields
with a view of using that material for
the new $6,000,000 capital at Madison.
Promptly at 0 o’clock Wednesday
morning the party left for Nelson, Ga. f
on a special train, consisting of a Pull
man car, a day coach and a baggage
tar. They were the special guests of
Sam Tate, the big marble man, of Tate,
Ga. Will Zimmer, proprietor of the
Kimball, also accompanied the party.
The special went to Marietta over the
Western and Atlantic, and from thAJ'e
to Nelson over the Louisville and
Nashville.
Governor at Breakfast.
Governor Davidson was at breakfast
In the Kimball palm room Wednesday
morning when seen by a Georgian rep-
tv>entative. He was lunching luxuri
ously on strawberries, buttered toast
and French drip coffee. He is n square,
S'dldly archltectured man, well set-up,
and with a most democratic bearing.
Tin-re is a trace of accent in his voice—
la- is of Norwegian extraction.
Who Will Succeed Spooner?
Governor Davidson would not dis
cuss Wisconsin politics, but State
Senator Whitehead did:
"Who will succeed Senator John C.
Spooner? Well, you have asked me
S"moth!ng that a lot of people in Wis
consin would like very much to know.
So far the announced candidates are
W. Ii. Hatton, former state senator
Isaac Stephenson, a millionaire lum
berman; Congressman John J. Each
and Congressman H. A. Cooper.
“Friends of former Speaker of the
House Irving L. Lcndratt are groom
ing him quietly.
"The general assembly will elect Just
after Easter, but in the present state
of affairs It Is impossible to see who
will get the plum. Senator Spooner’s
resignation came ns a great surprise to
the state, and I will say that the regret
was general. We are very proud of
Spooner. He is a great and brainy
man.”
Return to Atlanta.
Governor Davidson and his party will
return to Atlanta Wednesday evening
about 8 o’clock.
••The original plan was for the party
to leave for Washington at midnight,
hut they have decided to remain over
until noon Thursday, In order to see
Atlanta and some of the points of in
terest about the city.
On Thursday morning they will drive
about the city, and probably visit the
scene of some of the battles around the
Gate City. At noon they will leave via
the Southern for Washington.

240 Marietta St.
San Francisco, Cal., March 27.—Un
able to forget the sweetheart he came
across the continent to wipe from his
memory, distracted by her refusal to
answer his pleading letters begging
forgiveness, Arthur S. Lee, aged 33, a
traveling salesman, took his life yes
terday.
His body now floats somewhere in
the waters of the bay. In today’s mails
to New York are passing two letters,
one telling Nellie Kane, pretty but
fickle, of the sacrifice made in her
name; the other carrying tho news
that It Is feared will break the heart of
a pretty Southern woman whom Lee
adored as a youth.
It is stated that In Savannah, Go.,
where Lee’s father was chief of police
until his death, Lee became engaged to
a young woman, who doubtless Is wait
ing for him to return. Lee came to
San Francisco Inst August. For
month all was well. Then ho met the
first friend he found In New Yorlf after
leaving the South. This man is Harry
Burns, now a cook stationed at the
Presidio.
The two had an appointment for
Monday night, but Lee did not meet his
* *iend. Yesterday morning Burns re
celved a letter-from Lee. telling of his
unrequited love for Nellie Kane.
“I have stood It ns long as I can."
he said, "and I am going to end It all
by drowning. Will you bo kind enough
to let my mother know that I
dead ?’’
Lee’s mother lives at 250 East Fif
tieth street, New York, nnd Nellie Kane
lives at Forty-fourth street and Lex
ington avenue, that city. Besides his
mother, Leo leaves a brother and s|p-
ter.

Jovial crowd of newspaper men there
to meet them.

he has a reputation throughout the
country. Mr. Tinsley Is an accom
plished pianist and will take part in the
performance to be given nt the Grand.
All members of the Press Club are
Invited to be present and meet the two

The Leading Attraction of the
Gurney is
ON TWO STREETS
Decatur and Peters Barred
By Police Com
mittee.
No more saloons will be licensed In
Decatur or Peters streets.
A decision to this effect was reached
by the police committee In secret ses
slon Tuesday afternoon.
No formal vote was taken, but the
positive agreement was reached. Borne
members of the committee would not
agree to this, if it would prevent tho
secuilng of licenses by Thomas Brad
ley and 8. M. Wilson, the former being
an applicant for a license on Decatur
street, and the latter for a transfer on
Peters street.
The committee agreed not to open
up any more saloon* on the two streets
and held up the applications of Brad
ley and Wilson. The former wishes ic
change his business from a wholesale
house to a negro saloon at 133 Peters
street.
It Is probable that both will be
granted licenses to operate beer sa
loons, and then the lid win bo shut
down tight. *
The application of Mlnhinnott &
Clarldy for a saloon at 66 Decrtur
street came up for considerable dis
cussion. Councilman Pearce nnd Al
derman Holland signed, and, It Is stat
ed, Alderman Quillian practically
agreed to do so. Councilman Roberts
signed the adverse report. Alderman
McEachem, the other member of the
committee, was not present.
The application of Joe Borltzky for
a negro saloon at 189 Decatur street
was adversed. The application of John
T. McCullough, for a transfer of license
of a white saloon from 157 to 155 Pe
ters street, was reported favorably.
Cleanliness.
B Y the use of the removable galvanized ice compartments we arc able to
challenge comparison as to CLEANLINESS with any refrigerator made.
By its use we overcome the necessity of permitting any of the vapors aris-
the inner walls or passi through the
ing from the provision chamber to enter
end flues, depositing unwholesome gases and food particles* in inaccessible
places that cannot be got at and cleaned, as is true of the old style refrigera
tors. Iu the Gurney Patent Refrigerator the air from the provision cham
ber rises, passes directly against, and through the holes, in the four side walls
of the iee compartment. The ice compartment can be lifted out when neces
sary, and it and tho refrigerator made as sweet and clean as a milk pan. By
the use of tho removable iee compartment we get the most perfect interior
construction. We do not .cut our zinc side walls, all wood being zinc lined
with no exposed wood to become sour and unwholesome.
The price runs
from
$11 to $50

TRANSFERRED TO ATLANTA.
Special to The Georgian.
Asheville, X. C„ March 27.—The
hearing in the matter of the involun
tary bankruptcy of the Toxaway Ho
tel Company, before Special Examiner
F. W. Thomas, has been concluded
here and the proceedings have been
moved to Atlanta, where the Toxaway
Hotel Company will present evidence
in an effort to substantiate Its con
tention that It Is not a mercantile con
cern or a trading corporation, and that,
therefore, no court has jurisdiction to
declare it bankrupt, as it does not come
under the bankruptcy law. The At
lanta hearing is set for April 2.
is beyond a doubt the best low-
priced Refrigerator we have ever
handled. We have tried them to our entire satisfaction
and highly recommend the LaBelle. Price from $7.00
to $25.00.
The Opalite
This is our high-class line and
we cannot say too much for the
Opalite—the only and best way to know the many mer
its and beauty of this line is to take a few moments to
come and look over the entire line. You will not regret
it. Prices range from $35.00 to $100.00.
