Coroner Holds Inquest on
| T Body of Street Car
Conductor.
tVaa John W. Steele, the street car
onductor, found dead in hia bed from
. pistol wound Thursday morning, a
eep-dyed criminal or a victim of hal-
urinations?
The testimony at the coroner’s In-
lueat at noon Thursday brought out
nme startling facts. It developed that
Steele, who was living with Mrs. S. C,
.Indsey, had told her hair-raising
'lories of his early life in the West,
nd the remorse which pursued him
lut It brought a statement from
Iteele's father that Steele had left the
Vest when but five years old, and had
•emmltted no crime of any kind.
The coroner’s jury returned a ver-
lict at 2:46 o'clock that Steele came
o his death by a gunshot wound at his
>wn lianas.
Steele was found dead from a pistol
round at his home, 22 Qospero street,
Thursday morning at 4 o'clock, by Mrs.
.Indsey, who was cooking breakfast
n the next room. She rushed to him,
■he says, and found a smoking pistol
n his hand. He nevtr spoke after the
:ata! shot.
Waiting for Divorce.
At the coroner's Inquest, It was
jrought out, by the woman's own
■tatemnnt, that she was not married
u Steele, but was the wife of C. V.
-Indsey, now Bald to be In St. Louis.
Mrs. Lindsey said she and Steele had
ntended marrying as soon as she
uld secure a divorce from Lindsey,
r ley had lived together since Metno-
ial day.
Mrs. Lindsey broke down when on
:he witness stand, and wept bitterly as
the told of Steole's actions before his
ieath. "He spoke to me of his early
lfe In Indian Territory,” she said,
and said that he had taken human
life. He said no man could have any
peace of mind who had shed human
Mood."
Policeman John Peyton, on the
hand, told an oven more Interesting
itory, gathered from statements he
laid Mrs. Lindsey had made to him
luring the Investigation In the tore-
soon.
“According to Mrs. Lindsey's state
ments.” said Policeman Peyton, "Steele
sad told her that he had killed his
iweetheart In the West, and had sunk
uer body In a creek with heavy
weights, and that It had preyed on his
mind.”
Stories Discredited.
But these stories of Steele's former
life were discredited by his fatehr,
3. D. Steele, of Norcross, Gwinnett
county, who arrived in time for the In
quest.
"It Is true that we lived In Indian
Territory," he said, "but when we left
there my son was Just live years old,
and has been under my eye in Georgia
ever since. He* could not have com
mitted any crime,"
Mr. Steele Is Inclined to discredit the
report that hla son committed suicide,
and will insist on a thorough investi
gation. The detectives who are at
work on the case state that the matter
will not be dropped with the Inquest.
Questions were asked at the Inquest
In an effort to learn whether S. C.
Lindsey, the husband of Mrs. Lindsey,
has bis>n in the city recently, but no
one had seen him recently, and he Is
believed to be In St. Louis.
The Inquest was adjourned for a
abort time at 2 o'clock to secure as
witness a negro woman who had been
heard to make a remark about the re
lations of Steele and Mrs. Lindsey.
"Mr. Lindsey will be glad to hear of
this." the woman Is said to have re
marked.
Steele's father denied the reports to
officers that hts son had been under
bond for a shooting afTray In Gwin
nett county, and said there was noth
ing whatever In the report,
John W. Steele was but 22 years
old, nnd was a street car conductor.
He went home Thursday night, took
out his pistol and examined It. and said
..of"' Lindsey, it Is stated by her:
she works pretty well, doesn't shV"
at 4 o’clock next morning two shots
were heard and he was found dying.
Theplstol lay beside him.
The body was turned over to Green

special to The Georgian.
Macon, Ga., June 20.—Retiring to the
bath room of hts Vlnevllle home at
o'clock this morning, Napoleon B. Cor.
bln, one of the foremost business men
of this city and the state and a man
beloved and Implicitly trusted by the
entire community, placed the mussle
a shotgun to his chin and pulled the
trigger. \A moment later when the
members of his family burst Into the
little room, Mr. Corbin lay dead upon
the floor, the whole lower portion of his
face blown away by the explosion.
Despondency, caused by continued til
health, Is assigned as the cause of the
deed which has plunged the whole city
Into gloom and profoundly shocked the
Ufe-Iong friends who were colleagues of
Mr. Corbin In the conduct of many of
the leading business Institutions in the
city.
A few minutes after Mr. Corbin shot
himself, Dr. M. A. Clarke was beside
the body. He pronounced life extinct
and said that death was almost In
stantaneous.
Mr. Corbin was one of the leading
members of that group of financiers
who have done so much to make sta
ble the banking and other Institutions
of this city. He was general manager
of the Macon Grocery Company; a dl
rector of the Central Manufacturing
Company; receiver and afterwards
trustee of the Plant estate, and he
was one of the most progressive, pub
lic-spirited ettisens of his community,
and his gifts to thb Vlnevllle Metho
dlst church and labors for Its better
ment, were Invaluable.
Besides his wife, who was Miss Mar
garet Smith, of Columbus, Mr. Corbin
Is survived by three sons and two
daughters, James Corbin, Samuel Cor
bin, Culver Corbin and Margaret Cor
bln and Mrs. Catherine Stone.
A remarkable coincidence In connec,
tlon with the manner of Mr. Corbin 1
death this morning Is that In Its dc
tails It was almost Identical with that
of Robert H. Plant, whose bankrupt
estate Mr. Corbin managed so ably.
Like Mr. Plant, he shut himself up In
the bath room and there he fired the
fatal shot.
Yesterday Mr. Corbin seemed normal.
In the afternoon he went to his office,
where he transacted business as usual,
returning on the car to his home and
spending the evening with his family.
This morning he arose as usual and
dressed himself, then he retired to the
bath room, where he closed the door,
and In a moment a shot rang out which
brought the members of the family
from all parts of the house.
The members of the family are pros,
trated with grltf at the tragic occur
rence.
Mr. Corbin was a native of Macon,
belng> born on the very lot where he
ended his life. He had grown up with
the city and hod contributed largely 'to
Its growth. He was a man about 66
years of age. No funeral arrangements
have yet been made.

ZOO’S NEW CITIZENS
WELCOMED AT PARK
THE ZEBRA POSES FOR THE GEORGIAN.
Presented to the Grant Park Zoo by Edward F, Buchanan, the zebra
is pronounced a real beauty by animal experts.
Lion Refused ,to Leave Cage For New Home,
But Baboon Greets an Old
Friend.
The animals are here.
The zebra, the lion, the pumas, the
monkeys, the emu. and any number of
other kind of denizens of the wild and
wooly arrived safe and sound Thursday
morning at 6 o'clock.
Mayor Joyner was aroused from his
peaceful slumbers shortly afterwards,
and officials of the Southern Express
Company told him that their office was
crowded with boxes and cages of all
descriptions and that the employees
were about to go on a strike because of
the constant roaring of the lion and
the grabbing tendencies of the baboon.
Dan Carey was notified, and he got
busy. ('. L. Chosewood, president of
the park hoard, got' busy, too, pnd at
about 10 o’clock all the animals were
at the park. All the employees of the
Writ and three policemen were required
:o keep the hundreds of picnicking
children away long enough for the un
loading to be accomplished.
The zebra, which was pressnted by
the millionaire ex-Georgian, Edward F.
Buchanan, and cost tho neat sum of
3860, was the first animal unloaded. It
was nlaced back of the deer Inclosure,
and Is undisputedly the prettiest animal
at the park. The park officials say It
Is the most beautiful and perfectly
striped zebra they ever saw.
The swans—eight of them, black and
white—were put in the lake, where they
were soon at home. The emu. the bird
like an ostrich, waa voted a splendid
specimen, and will b* popular with the
young folks.
The trick babbon Is nothing short of
a marvel. As soon as lie was let out
he looked up knowingly at Charley
Chosewood, to whom he was Introduced
in New York, and shook hands cor
dially.
Two other monkeys were put In the
cage with the baboon. One, a pig-
tailed specimen, Is guaranteed to be the
biggest monkey In America. The other
Is a slick, wiry one, lacking several
inches In height and girth to he small.
The black and white porcupines are
downright pretty. One of the two
pumas has a habit of making threats
when an ugly person comes near his
cage. He smiled when Dan Carey ap
proached the cage In New York, and
Dan was not happy until the animal
with such rare and commendable Judg
ment had been purchased.
The leopards look strong and healthy.
The lion—the lion—oh. yes, the lion—
The park employees were stilt trying
to devise ways and means of getting
that lion In the cage when the reporter
left.

JUDGE DELAYS
COURT OPENING
TELEGRAPHERS’ STRIKE
HAS BEEN CALLED OFF
New York, June 20.—It can be stated
that there will be absolutely no strike
of the telegraphers In the employ of
the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies.
At ths headquarters of the executive
committee of the Commercial Tele
graphers' Union this afternoon It was
announced that the two telegraph com
panies had granted concessions which
practically amount to a backdown on
their part and another victory for the
union.
It was stated that the companies
had granted everything asked for but
the eight-hour day and the furnishing
of typewriters by the company to the
men. They also agree to stop dis
criminations on the part of the West
ern Union, thus virtually admitting
what the union has contended all along
that the Western Union Telegraph
Company had been .discharging men
and women for no other reason than
that they were members of the union.
The western Union Telegraph Com
pany has also agreed to take buck the
nine operators recently discharged, or
at least give them a hearing, which
will amount to their reinstatement.
■This will, of course, bring the strike
rumors and announcements to naught,
a strike no longer being considered
necessary to force some justice from
the companies for the .men, according
the officials of the union.
Edward J. Nelly, vice president and
general manager of the Postal Tele
graph' Company, gave out a statement
this afternoon In which he says In
port that his company has never re
fused to hear complaints of Its em
ployees and would always consider
them.
The negotiations between Commls
sloner of Labor Charles P. Neill and
the heads of the telegraph companies,
following a controversy lasting several
weeks between the companies and their
employees, have brought matters to a
head and a letter of President Clowry,
of the Western Union Company, to
Commlasionsr Neill and statements
from leaders of the men Indicate that
the entire matter will be amicably ad
justed.
dowry’s Latter.
President Clowry declared the state
ment that the 10 per cent Increase In
ages announced had not been given,
and statements saying that the Increase
had not been made were untrue. The
Increase had been applied to all sal
aried operators, the letter declared.
"This company has not discriminated
against, nor will It discriminate against,
any employee of the company because
of affiliation or non-affiliation with
any organisation, and If It can be
shown to me that any subordinate has
dismissed or used discrimination against
any telegrapher because of his affilia
tion wMh anv o— r "
without prejudice," said President
Clowry to Commissioner Neill.
Will Deal Fairly.
"As a further evidence of our entire
willingness to deal fairly and preserve
amicable relations directly with our
own employees, any telegrapher who at
any time has a grievance can take It
up with his superior, either in person,
or. If he wishes, through any'commit
tees, he may select from the other
employees of this company In the same
district.
: "I have outlined' above In brief the
position the Western Union Telegraph
Company holds In regard to the mat
ters Involved and you are at liberty to
make use of this letter In any manner
you may see fit.”

Admissibility of Arti
cles Published.
By J. S. DUNNIGAN.
Boise, Idaho. June 20.—Haywood, hlf
counsel and attorneys for the state
waited five minutes for Judge Wood
this morning. The Jury was not brought
in at 9:30, as Judge Wood desired
.cm* r enllf fhtenment on tho admis
sibility of some of the artliles pub-
llshed In The Miners* Magazine.
"The evidence In this case," said
Judge Wood, "shows clearly differences
from the anarchist cases. In tho lat
ter the writings were by the defendants
themselves and showed animus.
"In this case the testimony comes
from one ivltness on the part of ths
state, who admits numerous crimes,
which, he says, were directed by the
officers of the Western Federation of
Miners. Tho court will admit The
Miners' Magazine as a circumstance to
connect Orchard and to show animus
on the part of the defendant."
Dsrrow asked Bhe court if the de
fense will be permitted to read Into
tho record tho whole of the articles
from which tho state selects para
graphs.
"We wib decide that when we come
to It," ruled tho court.
Tho Jury was brought In and Senator
Borah began reading extracts from The
Miners’ Magazine, and this was con
tinued all through the morning session.
Completing tho reading of the maga
zine articles, Borah offered In evi
dence tho decision of tho Colorado su
preme court In the Moyer habeas cor
pus and the eight-hour coses. The
court admitted the decision and the
defense asked that dissenting opinion!
be read.
San Francisco, Cal., June 20.—Eu
gene E. Schmitz yesterday violated the
order of court, permitting him to visit

For two hours he was at hts home

he took luncheon, received guests and

BY
B. LIVELY
The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index says In Its Issue of this
week: •
"The continued development of water powers and the transforming
of the energy thus obtained Into electric power, constitute an Important
factor In the extensive and unceasing Industrial upbuilding In Georgia
and Alabama. As an example, a 3200.000 company, with 3150,000 already
paid In, has Just been organised at Newton, Ala., to develop water power
of the Choctawhatchee river, near that city, and to build a power house
from which electric energy will be transmitted to cities and towns of that
section for manufacturing and other purposes. Two other definitely pro
jected developments of the same character are reported by The Index this
week. At Griffin. Ga., a grist mill with a dally capacity of 2,000 bushels
of meal Is to be built and will be operated with electric power generated
at Towallga Falls, several miles away. A flour roller mill will be added
later. The production of cheap power that can be delivered In quantities
and at places to suit the purchaser must stimulate and attract manufac
turing. The Index reports thin week 28 manufacturing plants of various
kinds that are to be established In Georgia and Alabama.
"Among these are: Asphalt plant, Montgomery, Ala.; buggy nnd wag
on factory, Sylvester, Go.: canning factory, Monroe, Ga: 3100.000 creo-
sotlng plant, Springfield, Ga.; fertiliser factory, near Mobile, Ala., and
