AFTER TWO DAYS IN ATLANTA, GL1DDENITES RESUME TOUR TUESDAY
LET THE PEOPLE NAME THE CANDHIATE
Wherfthe state Democratic executive committee meets in
Atlanta Thursday to consider tho rules and regulations of the
primary for the governorship, it can do no greater service than
to give the voters of tho state the opportunity to express
thpir choice for a presidential candidate.
The Democratic party faces the brightest prospect it has
ever had for success. It all depends on the selection of the
right man as nominee—the man in whom the people have
faith. And the sooner the people have the opportunity to
sneak their choice, the more effective will be their voice.
Let Georgia take the lead among Democratic states in ex
pressing its choice of a nominee.
There can be no valid objection to it; there is every argu
ment in its favor.

Outbreak Expected to Turn the
Streets of City Into Battle
Field Any Moment.
Pekin, Oct. 23,—Pekin toddy Is seeth'
ing with revolutionary spirt which
threatens momentarily to burst bounds
and turn the etreete into a battlefield.
Altho Sunday, the day eet for an upris
ing In the capital, paesed without vio
lence, the general populace breathed no
eaoler today and belief was general that
the outbreak had only been postponed.
The mysterious absence of the prince
regent from council meetings and re
ports that ths child emperor had been
hurriedly remefved from the. capital
fanned the publlo fears to white heat.
The second session of the national as
sembly, which convened yesterday with
117 out of 166 members present, was
held today. The Manchu element of
the population was unable to derive any
feeling of security from the sitting of
the national assembly because many of
Its delegates are admittedly hostile to
the reigning dynasty.
Dally proclamations are being posted
by order of the ministry. These bear
no mention of rebel successes In the
south, but reiterate that the govern
ment Is crushing out rebellion.
Prince Tsai Tao, minister and presi
dent of the general staff, refused to
regard the government reverses In the
vicinity of Hankow as serious. He
states that the council has the utmost
confidence In the ability of General Tin
Chang's northern army to handle the
situation in the Tang Tse Ktang val
ley.
Living conditions, throughout Hu
Peh, Huana, Kiang, Bganhwel and Ho
nan provinces are beyond description.
The revolt followed closely upon the
devastating flood of the Tang Tse
Ktang river and Its tributaries which
had thrown the southern country Into
a state of famine. Cropa had been de
stroyed and houses washed away.
Armies hare been thrown Into the field
with slender stores of provisions and
the troops are now seizing supplies
from the pitifully scant stores of the
starving natives.
Asa last retort, the government has
ordered the public granaries open
throughout the famine-swept prov
inces. but even this supply will go but
a short way. Rebels are marching on
towns and cities where the granaries
are located with a view to capturing
them and seising the stores. AH pub
lic food supplies in cities captured by
the revolutionaries have been confis
cated.

CHARLES J. GLIDDEN, DONOR OF TOURING TROPHY.
"Sever have Glldden tourists received
such an official-welcome as on this
trip,” says Charles J.'GIldden, who has
probably toured more countries In an
automobile than any other, one man and
who 1s the giver of the famous Glldden
trophy.
“Usually,’’ he continued, “wo pay for.
mal calls on governors and mayors, but
this time they have come out to meet
us. And I attribute this honor to the
presence In.our party of the honorable
Georgians, Governor Hoke Smith and
Mayor Courtland Winn.”
There Is the henlthy glow of the out-
of-doors man In the complexion of Mr.
Glldden. Hls dark eyes sparkle as he
talks and hls attitude to hls fellow
travelers around the Georgian Terrace
reveals him ns the exponent of the
true sportsman's spirit of the motor
ist. ' Touring- Is hls delight, and you
only have to talk with him a few mo
ments until you realize that he haz
made of It something far more than a
sport. And this .avocation of hls Is
systematized to the point that It Is the
one great history of the automobile.
Can you tell mo something of your
tours abroad?" the reporter asked.
Toured in 39 Countries
He hands you.a list of'tho'countrles
he has visited, covering a distance of
46,628 mile* in. 39 countries. And he
has written extensively of all these
countries he has visited. Sunday night
he delivered a brief lecture at the Bap
tist Tabernacle, the Central Congrega
tional and the North-ave. Presbyterian
churches. There were about 3,000 young
people to.hear him at the Baptlat Tab
ernacle, where the - Phllathea and
Baraca unions were holding a meeting,
and hla talk was very-enthusiastically
received.
During Monday morning ho called
on hla fellow travelers. Governor Smith
and Mayor Winn. He was accompanied
by J. P. Stevens, of Atlanta, who haa
also toured extensively In Europe.
There was a line spirit of congeniality
as they talked of this common Interest.
Brings Latter to Mayor.
Mr. Glldden delivered a letter to
Mayor Wtnn from Mayor John F. Fitz
gerald of Boston, ho had brought by
automobile.
Sunday night he was the guest of C.
H. Johnson at hls homo In Piedmont'
ave. J. F. Akers and J. P. Stevens
were also, guests at. tho dinner. Ho
was'taken out to, the barbecue Monday
afternoon'by Mr. Johnson.
“I would like to know from you some
of tKo Interesting facts, about the Glld-
(lcn tours of-former years?'' continued
the reporter.
With that same business-like system
Mr. Qllddon referred to The Motor Era.
Tho first article was a story by him of
"How the Glldden Trophy Happened."
Having toured practically the world,
Mr. Glldden came to America and en
tered'the 1905 tour of the Automobile
Association of Americn from Boston to
St. Louis.
“It was at St. Louis that It occurred
to me It would be vyell to encourage
touring, and I offered the trophy to the
association, which-waag accepted and
has been competed for annually since,'

A TLANTA WOMEN’S STREET A TTIRE
SCORED BY MINISTERS IN PULPIT
Strangers Seeing Our Wonten’s
Clothes Would Think Them
Members of Underworld.
-DR. C. T. A. PISE.
In a sermon on "We are Members One
to Another,” Rev. C. T. A. Pise, rector
of Bt. Philipp Episcopal cathedral,
scored the women of Atlanta Sunday
morning for the way In which they
dress on the streets.
The Idea of the sermon was-based
on the foundation that each and every
one of us has a responsibility to our
fellow beings.
"This evil of overdressing and dress
ing to attract attention Is not confined
to the women of the lower classes or to
women who are not pure," said the rec
tor, “but right here In Atlanta women
from the best families and women who
are supposed to be persons of refine
ment and education themselves, will go
on the streets In such attire as to at
tract attention and to cause men from
oher cities to think that they are not
the right sort of women.
"These women of the city who are
blessed with an education and are sur
rounded by all the refinements of life
owe a responsibility to their less for
tunate sisters, to the working girls and
shop girls, and should set them an ex
ample by their dress and appearance
In public.
"In no old town do you And such
conditions,” said Mr. Pise. “In Balti
more. Savannah and other older cities
women who dress on the streets as the
Atlanta women dress would be taken
for women of the under world."
Mr. Pise also told of the responsi
bility that department stores and large
corporations hare, a responsibility to
More Men Than Women Come
to Church—Men Should Play
Missionaries.
—DR. CHAS. W. DANIEL.
Just before hls sermon Sunday mom
Ing. Rev. Charles W. Daniel, pastor
of .the First Baptist church, took
count of the men and women present,
and found that there weif more than
twice as many men as women in the
congregation. This has seemed to be
noticeable for some time In the church,
but was never brought directly before
the congregation until'kctual count was
fhken by the pastor.
Before delivering hls sermon
“Running the Christian Race,” Mr.
Daniel took the women of, hls church
and of other churches In Atlanta to
task for letting the men excelthem In
church attendance.
He quoted the manager of a large
theatrical syndicate as saying that
women and girls made up two-thlrds
of hls audience, and that any reforma
tion in the theater would have to come
from the detnands-of the feminine sex.
I knew women went to theaters and
matinees," said the pastor, “but I did
not realise until recently that the men
of my congregation were . attending
church In larger numbers than were
the women."
Mr. Daniel urged that the men In the
congregation turn, missionaries and
bring the feminine members of the
congregation to worship each Sunday.
pay their employees living wages and
not force the girls to degradation and
a living death.
Chinese Women Dress De
cently — American Women’s
Gowns Have Only One Leg.
—REV. EMMETT STEPHENS.
"The difference between American
women and Chinese women Is that
Chinese women wear trousers with two
legs, while the .women In this country
have attire with only one leg.
'Some of the dresses In Atlanta ac
tually haven’t enough cloth In them to
make one leg of a Chinese woman's
trousers. The way some of the women
and girls dress In Atlanta and America
generally Is'shockingly Indecent. Tho
women of China are far ahead of the
American woman In the modesty of
dress."
This striking comparison of American
and Chinese women, and censure of the
present-day attire of American women
was made Sunday morning at the
Jones-ave. Baptist church by Rev. Em
mett Stephens, a well-known Baptist
missionary to China, who Is assisting
the pastor. Rev. E. B. GUI, In a re
vival meeting.
“A Chinese girl," he said, 'la rarely
seen In tho streets nr public places.
In a day’s time you might see one or
two women In the streets, and these
would be old women. The Chinese may
go a little too far In this strict protec
tion of their girls, but It some such cus
tom as. this could be adopted In Amer
ica, the eountry would be better off
"Christian Chinese women are aban
doning trousers and adopting skirts,
nnd It would be well If the American
women would pattern after the form
of dress among these Chinese. These

City Steam Heat Will Be Turned
on During the Day—Slight
Frost Recorded.
All Atlanta la shivering. A strong
odor of camphor balls permeates the
atmosphere, and overcoats, some look
ing like coverings of Sweltzer cheese,
where the moths have displayed their
talents, are buttoned tightly to the
necks of those citizens of Atlanta who
ventured abroad early Monday morn
ing.
There Is a truly good reason. King
Winter has mode hls entrance upon
the stage of seasons and with Icy blasts
drove the temperature down to 39 de
grees at 6 a. m. At 7 o'clock the mer
cury hod risen one point, and another
point had been added at t o'clock. Here,
however, according to tho knowing
ones at the United States weather bu
reau, the temperature will remain for
several days. Then, It Is predicted, the
weather conditions will return to their
usual early fall state.
A plight frost fell Sunday night and
early Monday morning, but not enough,
It Is believed, to do any serious dam r
age to agriculture.
The steam heating department, of the
Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany has been delyged with inquiries
as to when the steam heat supplied by
that company will be turned on.
"I’m almost frozen,” chattered one
man over the phone, early Monday
morning.
"My pipes are frozen,'' exclaimed an
other,
"I can't get out of bed. It's too cold,”
phoned an occupant of an apartment
house.
In answer to every inquiry, the com
pany stated that the heat would bn
turned on some time Monday.
It eeems but yesterday that all At
lanta was standing beneath the fans
of soda water fountains, coatless, hat-
lesh and perspiring; wondering, de
spairing, If tho hot weather would ever
go.
"What!" exclaimed a rotund cltl
zen about two weeka ago. "Feed my
straw hat to the goat? Never!- Ain't
going to be no cold weather. I tell you.
Going to wear my straw hat until thy
flrst of November.”

Boston, OeL 23.—Notwithstanding the
assertions of the police that they will
be able to prove that the Rev. Clarence
V. T. Rlchcson killed Avis Ilnnell, hls
former sweetheart. It was learned to
day that the minister expects to secure
hls- acquittal by offering a complete
alibi and claiming that a rival poisoned
the young woman.
Details of the defense that Is to be
offered by Rlcheson were learned today
from a close friend of Moses Grant
Edmands, father of Miss Violet Ed-
mands, the pastor’s flancee. There will
be four phases of the defense, as fol
lows:
FlraL a general denial of Rlcheson's
alleged relations with Avis Llnnell.
Second, an alibi for the fatal Satur
day to be established by Miss Violet
Edmands, hls flancee, or other wlt-
Sllent and resting tile cars of ths
Glldden are parked In Klmt>all-st. But
the spark of Atlanta hospitality was
caught by the visitors Monday and,
after a day of much fun, the journey
to Jacksonville will be resumed Tues
day morning at 8 o’clock.
The stop In Atlanta Is the feature
event of the tour. It comes a welcomed
rest to the mud-spattered men and
women who for the past week Jiave
been pushing southward over muddy, i
mountainous roads thru rain and cold, t
And the city has literally been turned!
over to them, theirs to enjoy.
Tho events of tho day are the bar-
becue at tho Cold Springs ’Cue club
and the theater party at the Forsyth
and Lyric Monday night. At 13 o’clock
special cars were lined up at the Pied
mont hotel to take tho party, to tho
barbecue. Hugh Cardoza, manager of
tho theaters which are entertaining, an
nounces that tickets will be distributed
to the guests.
A Royal Welcome Giver!,
In a different way, tho greeting ae-<
corded the tourists Saturday afternoon t
and the parade that rolled thru At-1

as the recent Old Guard peace cele- i
brntlon. In Peachtreo road from Buck- I
head almost to Peachtreo creek, Atlanta
automobiles were lined up on both sides!
of the road a distance of two miles!
to greet the good roads heroes. The
string of automobiles that came Into
the city over this beautiful boulevard
was estimated to bo 600.
It was not an orderly parade that
came Into tho city. They came (n two
and three abreast. Tho marshals in

Third, If William Hahn, the Newton
Centre druggist, can not be atiaken un
der cross-examination In hls story that
Rlcheson purchased on Tuesday, Octo
ber 10, "enough cyanide of potassium to
kill ten men, on tho plea that he wanted
to poison a dog,” the defense will admit
this act and assert that the minister
desired the drug to kill a dog at hts
boarding house which had been annoy
ing him. It Is known that hls rooms
were searched before the police reach
ed there Friday. A bottle will be pro
duced that Hahn must Identify wee the
same nr similar to the container he sold,
and In this bottle will be the exact
amount of cyanide he testified he sold.
Fourth, evidence will be offered to
prove that a former sweetheart, who
was frequently In Miss Llnnell's com
pany at Hyannls. early In the summer,
was aware of her trouble; that he had
the motive and a better opportunity
than Pastor Rlcheson to slay her. or
that because of hls attention she her
self knowingly drank* the fatal draught.

Pending the arrival from California!
of some important depositions, the con- !
test of the'will of the late Major John
F. Hanson by some of the heirs was
continued to Tuesday in Judgo John T.
Pendleton’s court Monday. The court
room woe crowded with attorneys and
persons Interested. A telegram was
read showing that the depositions In
question were mailed last Wednesday,
and It Is believed they will be here
Tuesday In time for the trial to pro
ceed.
Major Hanson, president of the Cen
tral of Georgia railroad, died Docem-
ber 10, 1910, leaving an estate valued
at hundred of thousands of dollars.
John D. Little and I. N, Hanson were
the executor* of the will, and In the
contest are known as propounders. Tho
best legal talent In Georgia la arrayed
In the fight—Payne, Little & Jones,
and King, Spalding & Underwood, for
the propounder*, nnd Guerry, Hall a
Roberts, of Macon, and John L. Hop
kins & Sons, of Atlanta, for the con
testing heirs.
Mrs. Fannie Hanson White, Mrs. Es
telle C. Hanson, widow of a son, Wal
ter T. Hanson, und other heirs objected
to the will and filed thelc caveats. By 9
agreement, the contest was appealed
from the ordinary’s to the superior
court.
The helrs-at-Iaw are Cora L. Han
son, Fannte Hanson White, Estelle C. "
Hanson and four children, Margaret
and France* White, all of Point Lome,
Cal.: Mrs. Ante Hamilton Garrett, John
F. Hanson, Jr., and Robert Hanson, of

The contesting helres set up that

real will of Major Hanson, alleging
that the said Instrument was lodncrd
from him by fraud and misrepresenta

Annie Hanson Garrett, the latter and
John F. Hanson, Jr. being thereby pre
