The veil of mystery which has hung around the financial end of the Atlanta- Orlffln-Macon Interurban and the in- ttrurban from Macon to Albany Is now raised, according to those In close touch with the workings of this new road. The answer to this riddle, which has been puzzling local railroad circles, ts— Rock Island-I'Tlsco. It Is now declared by persona Iden tified with the new road that the In fluence of tho great Rock Istand-Frlsco system Is behind tho trolley road, which wilt cut through the state, and men high In the same railroad system are backing the two big Interurbans. It Is declared by those In a position to know that B. F. .Yoakum, one of the greatest railroad financiers of the country and chairman of tho cxecutlvo ruinmUtco of tills system, Is one of these ofTlrlals. Ever, since the Atlanta, Griffin and Bacon Electric Railway Company and the .Macon and Albany Electric Rail way Company were organized aod work, •turted on tho right of way and other preliminary plans, there has been con siderable speculation as to the men be hind the tsl^ Interurbans. Many railroad men have doubted that the two roods would ever be built and wondered where the money was coming from with which to build and equip them. Buy Othsr Interests. Hon. W. Jordan Maesee, of Macon, Is the leading Georgia hustler behind the two roads, and this In Itself was enough to convince those who know Mr. Mnssee that there was more behind the roads thon hot air. He hag an nounced many times that the roads would be built and cars running. In a year and a half, and now people be lieve him. Hlnct* he first became Interested lr, the two Interurbans, he and some of his associates In the two roads have pur chased the. Macon Railway and Light I'ompany, the trolley and lighting sys tem In that city, and what Is considered by hydraulic engineers to be the best water rights on the Ocmulgee river, where thousands of horse power can be developed. It was known that President Massee made many trips to New York and Bos ton, but just what financiers he was In consultation with there could never bo learned. Now It can safely be aald that high officials In the Rock Island- I'rlsco system have been In theee con sultations, . It Is further declared that together with President Maesee And hie asso ciates, these high officials have been putting up the money for the prelim inary work on the Interurban, and as a result the rights of way for the en tire road have been secured and the surveys have been made. 1 A Railroad Grade. A significant featuro of this work Is Ibat the surveying calsl for a 1 per cent grade, the a&mo used by railroads of the steam variety. The road When built may be converted Into a steam toed If It should be desired. But with the large water power Plants to be built by the company ibove Macon and near Albany and at other points, enough electricity will be developed to not only run the interur ban, but the trolley system In Macon and lighting plants along the road. It is planned to give light and power Jo people along the right of way and farm houses will be lighted with elec tricity. A'prominent Georgian cloeely con nected with allied interests of the ln- itrurban passed through Atlanta Wed nesday and he declared that the flnan- ‘lal end of ths Interurban had been ar ranged long ago. "This flnanclal panic In Wall street, be said, "has not nor will not affect the Interurban. The arrangements for financing It were made and there I* Plenty of money to do the work.

By THEODORE TILLER. Washington, Nov. 27.—The most un expected and sensational testimony of the Bradley trial was given this morn ing when Attorney Sorren Christensen, of Salt Lake, said that he had been present on one occasion In Pocatelo, Idaho; when Mrs. Arthur Brown had twice assaulted Mrs. Bradley by chok ing her and that when separated she had begged to be left alone "In order that I may kill- He said this was Immediately preced ing an all-night conference In the same hotel of Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Bradley, Senator Brown and himself, In which conference Senator Brown had admit ted that he was the father of Mrs. Bradley's two children, but denied the paternity of his son.

Hoover, I told Mrs. Bradley many an untruth during my acquaintance with her. In order to pre serve our friendly relations and to car ry out the orders of the senator.” Government Deal* Blow, The testimony of both of these gov ernment rebuttal witnesses was turned to some advantage hy the defense. Tho government, however, struck a rather decisive blow when they recalled to the stand Asa B. Moseley, ticket .agent, who exchanged tickets for Mrs. Bradley at Ogden, who testified that she had used no portion of the round trip ticket given her with Brown's money from Salt Lake to Los Angeles, but Instead traveled to Ogden on cosh fare. This Is In direct conflict with the statement of Mrs. Bradley, who stated that she turned back at Ogden on the impulse of the moment and had origi nally Intended going to Los Angeles. Livingstone said: "In the summer of 1906 Mrs. Bradley came to the offlee. We talked the matter over and she asked If I thought Brown Intended to marry her. I said no, and she aald 'He'll have to or I’ll blow his head ofT.' " She Clung to Brown. Parley H. Christiansen, former prose, cutlng attorney at Salt Lake City, and a former chairman of the state Re publican committee, was put on' the stand to tell of an Incident which he witnessed at the depot. He did not flx the date. The senator was endeavor ing to get Mrs. Bradley not to accom pany him on some trip, and she clung to his arms as the train pulled away. He heard the loud talk and some curs ing, but could not say whether Sena tor Brown prevented Mrs. Bradley from going or not. 8aid She Was Rational. Lieutenant Hartley and Mrs. Thorn burg, matron at the house of deten tion. were again put ou the stand nnd testified that Mrs. Bradley seemed ra tional on the afternoon of the shooting. Mrs. Thornburg said Mrs. Bradley had asked to be excused from answering the question as to whether she brought the revolver with her. She also said that she had remarked to Mrs. Bradley. "How did you get the nerve to shoot a man; you must have been crazy?" and that Mrs. Bradley replied: "Indeed. I am far from be ing crazy!" She said Mrs. Bradley told of finding the letters In the sena tor's room and that she shot him as he out on his overcoat and tried to leave the room. Asked If she Intended to shoot him. she said Mrs. Bradley re plied slowly: "Well. If he refused to do the right thing.” ‘ She Feared Such an End. Just before the noon recess the pros ecution succeeded also this morning In getting Into evidence, after strenuous objection on the part of the defense, the statement made by Mrs. Bradley to Detective Burlingame, that she shot Brown: that she had brought the pistol with her from Salt Lake. and. although she did not come East for the punuse of killing Brown, she said she had feared for some time their relations would end like this. The officer said Mrs. Bradley was rational, but very nervous and excited. New Bank in Cedartown.

New York, Nov. 27.—The finan cial situation is making such sat isfactory progress that the heads of several important banks today informally discussed a speedy re sumption. of cash payments. The clearinghouse will take the initia tive in tho matter, acting in har mony with the treasury depart ment. i Secretary' Cortelyou will probably bo called upon to exercise his good offices In bringing about A general resump tion of cash payments so that the banks In all the cities will go back to normal methods simultaneously. Gash payments for moderato sized checks have been made since Monday by some of the banks and the heads of these Institutions believe there will be a general resumption of cash payments throughout the country by the end of next week or the fofepart of the fol lowing week. The only demand, for currency came yesterday'from some out-of-town banks and this served for a part of the day to keep the premium from 11-4 to 1 3-4 per cent, when the demand had been satisfied, however, the premium dropped. On© money dealer, who had a lot of $100,000 cur rency to get rid of, admitted the best In ooud oMilMv S-$ of 1 per cent. Further engagements of foreign gold for Import were made, the Dank of Montreal taking $1,000,000 and the Irving National Dank $2,500,000. The grand total In the present movement Is now $97,621,810.

All day long a crowd pressed around the window and the clink of metal Into a wooden contribu tion box was so frequent that the heads of the Institution expect that this Thanksgiving offering of the Atlanta public will bo even larger than that of last year. The occasion was what the larger children call "Window Day" and the little ones "Window." For months past had you been present at the Home for the Friendless you would have heard euch remarks as “If you ain't good you can't be In the window,” or "Will they give us candy and dolls when we'e In de windy?" Next to Christinas. "Win dow Day" is the most glorious affair In the life of the little ones who, lacking parents' support, are given home ami education In the institution tnanugod by Atlanta women. Early. Wednesday morning tho score of expectant children were made ready by "Mother” Mitchell, the matron, and her assistants, Mrs. Allen and Miss Simpson Only cbHdren lretween 3 and- pany 7 years were brought. The other sev- ' enty-elght were left behind the bnhlcs to sleep In their cradles and the older children to bo given other pleasures such ns visiting Bostock’e shows nnd the moving picture exhibitions. Crowds Sse Children. No display of fine furniture or dress goods or china waro or anything else the big department store holds could havo aroused the Interest of the pass ing public ns 'much ns did the group of children In tho window. Persons who have children and persons who havo not, men nnd women, stopped to gaze at tho tots, drop money In the box and then pass on to return later to watch more closely the play of the little ones. "Do you know what Thanksgiving le?" little Willie Pagett was asked. “No, sir," replied the sturdy blue eyed youngster, “but I will tomorrow, 'cause Mother Mitchell's going to ted us about It." Candy, blocks, "animal crackers" and other things deer to the children's hearts were given them to keep them amused during the day. They eat In their little chairs around the email tables and behaved far better than most children who have fathers and moth ers to care for them. And yet they were apparently totally unconscious of the gaxe of the hundreds of people on the other side of the plate glass win dows. T believe they’ve painted those chil dren's cheeks so they'll -look well," said a crabbed female Individual on the outside. It Isn't so, because a Georgian reporter got close and took a look. But really the twenty children were re markably healthy looking. As for their happiness, Window Day Is such a great event that one could hardly take It for a fair sample. The Children’s Songs. Under the leadership of William Al len, aged 6, black-haired and blue eyed, the children sang several of Ihclr songs, chief of which was their version of “Walt Till de Sun Bhlnes, Nellie, and de cowde do Jlftlng by." Unfortu nately the people on the outside could not hear this music and those within were the only ones to get the benefit. Of courts it was the smallest •-HIM of all that attracted the most atten tlon. Annie May Bheltleif!* nine saeily old, aroused many comments from the spectators. Either she did not hear or did not care, for she sat In her small while rocking chair, playing with her animal crackers, with an expression of severe dignity on her round pink and white face. A gallon of milk «n»s the basis of the children's luncheon, which they ate at their tables. There were other good things, and on Thanksgiving day at the Home for- the Friendless there will be as big a spead as "Mother" Mitchell thinks Is good for their diges tions. Something about the little ones seem ed to go straight to the heart of every one who passed. One standing outside the window marveled at the comments the people made. Some said It was a shame for parents to desert children, others that It was the most beautiful sight they ever saw. The average re mark by the women was "Oh. aren't they dear!" ' Little Paul in Cradle. More than one women sighed as she looked at. Paul, aged 4. who Is para lysed and spent his "Window Day" In a cradle. He Is being treated by the best physicians In Atlanta and It Is hoped that he will recover to some extent. The Home for the Friendless takes all Unde of children. Boms are found lings, others are given up by their mothers who ran not support them, fathers who can not core for them.

Lithonia, Gn„ Nov. 27.—Gasping for breath and unable to speak above a whisper, Enoch Sanders was arraigned before Justice of the Peace David Phil lips here this morning and given a chance before he died to tell his version of the attack made early' today on his 14-year-old niece, Bertha Sanders, and her mother, Mrs. Charles Sanders. But his version was an Incoherent tale. He was too weak from loss of blood to sit up and, lying on a pallet with the musty blankets of the town culaboose thrown about him, he pre sented a ghastly' appearance. His throat was bandaged where he had slashed himself from ear to ear In an attempt to commit suicide. Stains from his own blood were on his clothing and on the bandage. All he could mumble was that ha did not cut himself, but that either his sister-In-law or his niece wielded the razor. Facing him while he whispered this tisle were the pretty 14-year-old nlepe, her own throat bandaged, and her mother, with her band oovfred with surgeon's cloth, where Sanders’ razor hail done Its work. A Med Infatuation. There was little from the evidence to show that the murderous attack hgd not been made. There was the evi dence of mother and daughter to show that Sanders, wild with fury, had lashed murderously with his razor In an attempt to wipe out ths family. The story related by mother and daughter of the causes behind thlz at tack Is a singular one. It Is one of a mad Infatuation by Banders for his niece, Bertha, hla dead brother's daugh- It was a story of Infatuation that dated buck to the time when Bertha is a child In school. And with this story they told of ths time when a crowd of Lithonia citizens started*to visit the Handers home and administer a whipping to Handers be cause of his Insane love for the girl. The town authorities here did not waste any time In starting the machin ery of the law working on Handers. The attack made on mother and daugh ter occurred about 5:30 (/clock this morning while Bertha was preparing breakfast. The news soon spread to Lithonia, short distance from the Handers home. Deputy Sheriff C. S. Elliott, of DeKalb county, went to the Handera home and arrested the man who nearly killed himself nnd the mother and daughter. As soon a* possible he was brought to Lithonia and placed In the town culaboose. This Is n little square build ing with nn upper story, and here It was. In the room over the Jail, that Justice of the Peace Phillips convened court for a commitment trial. The wounded man was brought Into this room about 11 o'clock on a pallet, after Dr. .1. A. Funner had dressed his wounds and those of Bertha and her mother. Mrz. Sanders' Story. Mrs. Sanders and her daughter told of the wild attack which came so near being fatal to them. According to their story the uttnek was the result of San ders’ Insane Jealousy over Bertha and their intention to visit Atlanta on Thanksgiving day'. "If you take Bertha to Atlanta to morrow," Mrs. Sanders say's her broth er-in-law declared, 'Til kill her and you, loot" But such threats,, she says, had been made before. So this morning she thought little of the words of yester day until the razor began Its deadly work. ‘Without a moment’s warning." said s. Sanders, "my’ brother-in-law came to the kitchen where Bertha was cook ing breakfast and slashed madly at her throat. At the first gash the blood spurted and Bertha screamed. I heard her scream, and the first thought that Hashed Into my mind was the words uttered yesterday by Enoch. "I grabbed at the razor and tried to save Bertha’s life. Even this did not stop him In his murderous work. Again he slashed and again the blood spurted. We both screamed and Bertha fell to the floor. Then Enoch went Into an other room and, pulling his razor, al ready wet with my little daughter’s blood, across his own throat, fell upon the bed." Narrowly Missed Death. It was some time before help ar rived, .and when a physician examined the wounded man he was nearly dead from loss of blood. The end of the razor had been slightly broken and lo this fact Dr. Farmer says Handera owes another grasp on life. The Jugu lar vein was only missed by the frac tion of an Inch and the wind pipe Is partially severed. Sanders never see * 4 § tO allze, ac- Continued on Page Twelve
