THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. NOTED BALLOONS1RESS, MRS. JULIAN P. THOMAS, TALKS OF MANY THINGS She Just Loves Aeronautics, Reporters, Auto- ing and Pretty Clothes, Does This - Noted Ex-Atlantan. DAVIS' BIRTHDAY . BEING OBSERVED A eronautics, reporters, auto mobiles anil remarkably pretty clothes are among the avowed objects of the love of Mrs. Julian P. Thomas; wife of Dr. Julian P. Thomas, the former Atlantan, and noted mem ber of the Aero Club of New York, who Is In Atlanta, and who granted a gra clous Interview Monday morning. Just before she left the hoter for a shopping trip on Whitehall street. Mrs. Thomas, an Ohio woman, lived In Atlanta two years, while her hus band, the champion amateur aeronaut, conducted a sanitarium on Forsyth street. She said Monday morning that she still considered Atlanta her old home, and that It was not so slow down here. She arrived here Saturday morning from New York and has a suite of rooms on the fifth floor of the Piedmont hotel. Traveling with her are her two children and a maid. As a reporter called Monday morning to see Mrs. Thomas, a handsome wo man was Inquiring of the clerk where she could buy some stamps, while In her hand she held several unmalled let ters, one of which was addressed to Dr. Julian Thomas. The reporter In troduced himself and was cordially re ceived by Mrs. Thomas, who said she would be exceedingly glad to tall him anything he wanted, for she understood reporters so thoroughly. Loungers Were Interested. The wife of the high-flying doctor attracted much attention from the rather large crowd of loungers In the lobby of the hotel, as she walked to the cigar stand to purdiase stamps. A woman of striking figure, a wealth of black hair In decided contrast to her pink and white complexion, and attired In an accordion-pleated pique walking ault, the Jacket of which, trimmed In black art medallions, partly concealed a waist of old lace, Mrs. Thomas, the cynosure of all eyes In the lobby, seat ed herself In one of the large wicker chairs and proceeded to tell all about the pastime of aeronautlng, purely for sport, and so enthusiastic was she that her face fairly beamed as she recounted some difficult landing that she and the doctor had made In some far distant forest In Massachusetts, Maine, or Hoboken. And "the count," she told all sbout him, for he Is so enthusiastic and first Interested the doctor In aero nautics, about which the doctor Is, oh, wildly excited, though It Is not allowed to Interfere with his practice, which has grown so largely since he estab lished himself In New York—not to talk shop, however. "You see. It all started from the au tomobile,” said Mi-s. Thomas, as she seated herself In the wicker. “The doctor Is an autolst also. Is he?” asked the reporter. And the Count, Too. "Oh, yes, Indeed: why we have owned a very large car for four years. You. should let me tell you now, tpr it start ed at the auto show, given by the Automobile Club, to which, of course, all the very'best people In New York belong. The doctor was the chairman of the committee that had In charge the exhibit In which were shown some very handsome balloons that had been brought over to New York from Paris. The count, I mean Count LeVeaux, ho and the doctor are so vary thick, you know, wan the first to sow an aero nautical seed In Dr. Thomas' ear. The Aero Club bought several of the bal loons, the handsome ones, though Dr. Thomas bought one for himself, so en thusiastic had he become on the sub ject. "Of course It Is only a fad with the doctor, and all of the people up In the East, who have taken It up onyl for sport, though. The man who takes the flights with the doctor In his balloon— which, by the way, was made by Mal let—M-a-l-l-e-t—French, you know-— by the name of LeVee, Is a professional Pilot, and Is teaching the doctor all he knows of ballooning. "So you, too, are enthusiastic about ballooning?" asked the reporter. ‘Oh. yea; I should say so, and I feel awfully good this morning, as a tele gram from the doctor yesterday said he was going to make a flight In Pitts burg soon, but will wait until I come home. No. I don't know whether I will go up with him, but I may. You see, some aeronaut made a flight In Phila delphia recently and we wish to beat hl " record. It la Just like golf or tennis with us, and as a sport It la very exciting, and really Is becoming very popular and Is being taken up: of course, by only the very best people. Mrs. Howard Gould made a flight not long ago, and In Parts It Is no unusual •hkng at all for a flight to be made.” The reporter's Ignorance of balloons seemed to interest Mrs. Thomas ex ceed ngly, and she left nothing unsaid In elucidating thoroughly everything connected with the taking of flights. No parachutes are used, she said, for there was no danger except In coming down, which has to be taken rather slowly, a too sudden descent being risky, the more sudden the more risky. t an you give me a picture?” asked the reporter. “Oh, 1 Love Reporters!” 'why, haven't you a picture? I am so sorry I have none, with me. for I know exactly how It Is with you report ers. oh, I love reporters, for I know them so well. In New York I know a large number and see so much of them. Dr. Thomas- always gtves them all the Information he can. The reporters there awfully fond of him. They come right In the house and take the pictures off the wall, and always with a smiling. Oh, I'll bring It back, Mrs. Thomas,' so pleasantly, you know, that It Is hard to refuse, and now and then one Is brought back. I know your city editor will ask you if you secured the picture, and If you don’t have one he will look at you as If to say, ‘Sorry you fell down on the stoiy,' but I really have none with me. Now, my slater may have one: I really think she has, though she told me not long ago that she hated to show It to any one. It was so unlike me. Maybe she will give It to you. If you will promise to return It. What's your name?—well, this Is my slater and you may aak her for the picture.” The picture was at home In the bot tom of a trunk. In which were packed odds and ends, and as It would take a good while and the picture was not very good. It was announced that a search would be. Instituted for. It to night. and the reporter could have It Tuesday. “The call for pictures In New York was so heavy that the papers just had us go to Mnrceau and have a lo taken, which we did. I am so sorry I haven't one with me, for I know what It menus to you. Now, Is there anything else you want to know? I am always glad to give the reporters anything I can. for I like them; they are always so very kind. Oh, I know them like a book.” The Occasion of the Visit. 'What am I doing In Atlanta? Well, I am to be matron of honor at a wed ding here of Miss Kathleen Thomas, the doctor's sister, t„ Mr. McMillan, and I suppose I will be here the rest of the week. Why, I have been here al ready two days and you are the first reporter I have seen. I had begun to think I would escape this, though It seems not. Why, In Cincinnati, I had hardly been In the city a halt hour be fore three or four reporters were camp ing on my trail. One of them, whom I asked how he knew I was coming, showed me a telegram from one of our members In New York, telling him I might be able to give them some assist ance In running a car, which they had there. I mean balloon; we call them all cars. But I could do nothing with It. Very poor material In It, Indeed, not like ours In New York. "I am going directly back to New York from here, for we have a lot of things In aeronautics on foot, and I don't want to miss any of them. So sorry about the picture, for I know what It means to you.” M'MICHAELACTTESTED IKTHESUPREMECOURT Argument as to the constitutionality of the McMIchael act, levying a spe cial school tax, was heard in the su preme court Monday. This Is the case In which tile South ern railway seeks to enjoin the school commissioners In McDonough school district, Henry county, from collecting a special levy made on the road to pay the school tax assessed under the Mc MIchael act. McDonough district voted for the special school levy, but when the Southern was asked to pay over Its assessment It asked for a restraining order, which the superior court judge granted.
