Cody, known all over tha world as Buffalo Bill, Is In Atlanta ahend of the famous wild west exhibition and letting his friends know that the show will soon be here. For Major Burke hns friends In At lanta Just as he hns friends the tjorld over. He Is probably better known to the newspaper men of this country and Europe than any other man. Ever since Colonel Cody started out, over twenty years ago. to educate the people by the old or his exhibition, Major Burke has been with him. Before that he was with him on the plains since 1866. "The first thing I think of," laughing, ly paid the Major nt the Piedmont, "when 1 come to Atlanta Is the expe rience I had hero In getting White Eagle, one of our fafnous Indian chiefs, out of the clutches of the law. I have often wondered since why I was not arraigned for contempt. But I wnsn 1 . and White Eagle didn't go back to Baltimore to answer a murder charge." As the major tells It, he was with tho show when Whlto Eaglo was afs rested on requisition papers from the governor of Maryland and was charged with murder. Some weeks before a etpall boy had died of heart failure, and, coached by a lawyer, the father claimed that White Eagle had hit the boy with a stone. Major Burke secured tbe services or Attorney Burton Smith and a writ op habeas corpus was secured In the Fed eral court before Judge Newman. While tho witnesses were being ex amined, Major Burke arose and bofore tho Judge or the startled attorneys Knew what he wus about, he burst Into an eloquent plea for tho red man. He pointed out how the disgrace of going to Jail would cause White Eagle to commit suicide. He told how White Eagle, if condemned to dler could be told to report for the execution of hie sentence on a certain date, and die like the brave man he was. “This red man," said the major, "will not run away. He haa committed no crime, but If any court ever wonts him, the court hns but to say the word nnd White Englo will travel day and night until he reaches the point where ho Is summoned." So eloquent wns Major Hurko's appeal that he wns Invited to take a seat alongside the Judge and so exettod was the major that he took the Judge's seal Instead of the visitor's chair. In vain did Attorney Burton Bmlth make mo tions to tho major. But the judge said nothing nnd through Major Burke asked the Indian witnesses questions. The result was that White Engle was released under bond and later showed the charge against him In Baltimore waa unfounded. While here Major Burke called upon Governor Hoke Smith, whom ho knew Intimately while the governor was sec retary of the Interior at Washington. "Buffalo Bill’s Wild West," said Ma Jor Burke, “was an original conception of Us organizer, Colonel Cody, for the purpozo of familiarizing the eastern part of tho vast empire with peoples end conditions twenty-five years ago, were as misconceived, misunderstood and unknown aa was one end of the republic, North and Bouth, os waa tho other In the '60’s. Then tho mlsrepro scntatlon of the sentimentalist depehd- Ing on Dame Rumor and presenting It In novellstio form was accepted JU facts and Isolated episodes, such as the whipping of criminals, gave foundation for misconception of conditions, which gave plausibility to the possibility ot the most world-wide libel ever perpe trated against the Christian people, 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.’ "The aim of tho Wild West waa to treat tha aubject wtth realism as close In adhering to nature aa the environ ments permitted, giving a dramatic presentation of scenes and Incidents In the far West with the genuine actors to the manner born and native animal* engaged In Its presentation. [ Special to Tbe Georgian.

JOHN’S* COMPLEXION CAUSES A TANGLE When John Williams, IS years of ago, llght-halred and of fair complexion, casually remarked to a trolley car con ductor Tuesday that he had been living and working with negroes near Madi son, he got himself Into trouble and- Incidentally developed some complica tions In police circles. Detectives Lockhart and Roberta wore passengers on the car and tho' P"' ,he m "wise," thinking ho had 'possibly unearthed something sensational.

Probation Officer Gloer was acquaint ed with the facts and began to Invest!, pte. He thought at first ho was deal- . TC ‘ t . h a whlto boy, but after talking with him awhile grew suspicious. Fi nally he asked the youthful prisoner: "Are you a white boy dr a negro?" a coIoret * boy,” was the reply. Officer Gloer felt no. doubt about tho matter then. When the boy said ho \VB<6 "fMlIn 1-rirl ” thn nfllnot* I.m AM L-. - was “colored," the ofilcer knew he was a negro. , This turn to the case caused tho prospective sensation to suddenly col- dpse. It waa decided, however, to hold the boy until it could be ascertained whether he Is wanted In Madison. If not, he will be released.
