A decidedly unique method of pre
serving order and ridding Whitehall
street of the noisy Fourth of July fire
cracker was adopted Wednesday by
Policeman Berry, who does duty In
that busy thoroughfare.
Numbers of small boys seemed Im
bued with the Idea that Whitehall was
the proper place to shoot firecrackers
and make other Fourth of July noises
and the fun started early In the day.
Policeman Berry realized that he had a
Job on Ills hands nnd he sought a plan
by which he hoped to most effectively
rid the street of the disturbance.
Finally, a bright Idea flitted Into his
brain. Going to a fireworks stand.
he procured a piece of board nnd con
verted It tttt.i a heft: looking ptiddk
And then armed with this new weapon
of police warfare be started out on
crusade.
Wielding the paddle, the officer la
formed the small boys what they
might expect If they shot any fireworks
In the street. This warning had more
effect than a threat to arrest. The boys
feared the paddle and they "skldooed."
It was necessary for tho officer to
touch up only one br two little fellows
lightly to Impress on them the mean
Ing of his threat.
he paddle crusade worked so sue
cessfully Officer Berry was not com
pelled to enter a case against any,of
the boys for shooting.

Washington, July 6.—Driven almost
to the limits of desperation for want
of funds, Alphonse Zelaya, son of the
president of Nicaragua, and hts bride
of less than three months, who was
formerly an adopted daughter of Dr.
Wllllnm \V. Maker, of Washington, have
become estranged for tho second time,
and Mrs. Zclayn asserts that she has
left her husband for good and all. '
Zelaya has been playing the piano
In a down town saloon. His wedding
followed a sensational kidnaping of
himself by agents of the Nicaraguan
government to prevent his nmniitgo to
tlie beautiful American girl.
Zelaya says his father has positively
refused to supply him with fund;, or to
lend any financial assistance, and In
his predicament Zeyala has been
pressed almost to the limit. . ■
Mrs. Zelaya has taken up her resi
dence with n friend and says she will
sue for divorce on grounds of non
support.
The Zolayns roomed In a house with
Policeman Chester R. Samson, of tho
First precinct, and this morning Sain
son swore out a warrant charging
Zelaya with larceny of certain articles
of clothing. At 1 o'clock this, after
noon the police had been unahle to find
him.
Mrs. Zelaya Is In no way related to
Dr. Baker or Mrs. Baker. Who she
really Is Is a mystery. “J am a niece of
the late General FltzhUgh Lee," WSS
the most definite Information sho gave.

52 yean of age, who has been a fa
miliar figure In the streets of Atlanta
for a long while os a vender of pen
cils, died suddenly shortly after 2
o'clock Thursdny morning.
The dead body of the prisoner was
found lying on tho cell bunk by the

later held an Inquest, the verdict of
the Jury being that Pouge died of
hemorrhage of the lungs. The body
was turned over to Harry O. Poole A
Co., undertakers. Pouge has no rela
tives In Atlanta, his family residing at
some point In Tennesson. A letter was

There was practically a full attend

when Speaker Slaton rapped for or

rending of tho Journal was dispensed
with by unanimous consent.
.Mr. Wright, of Floyd, made a motion
that tho houso meet Friday morning at
8:30 o'clock. He said:
"Mr. Speaker, we have been here
now a week, and not one-fifth of the
time has been spent In work. W*

If that does happen It will result In
a Populist ticket, and a rallying of

be significant.

MORE SENATORS
ARE TO BE SOUGHT
Whsthsr or not the bill of Repre
sentative Richardson, of Houston, to
Increase th* number of scat* senators
from 44 to 76 successfully runs th*
gauntlet of legislative proems this ses
sion, something nun be done to care
for the eight new counties created last
ypar-
A Mil will be Introduced to attach
these dountle* to tbelr proper sens-
tori*I district*.
If Mr. Rlchardeon’s bill poese* It will
require no rearrangement ot th* dis
trict*, sinew It Im proposed to distribute
the thirty-one additional senators
among the various districts.
Distribution would be based on pop
ulation. Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Sa
vannah, Rome and Thomasville would
have three senators Instead ot one, as
now. In other words, each county
would have a senator all tb* time and
the rotation system would be wiped
out so far os they wera concerned.
