Mayor Woodward Is hoars*!
HI* office Is overflowing with bulky
communication* of Identical alas and
wording!
Tha mayor's telephone ha* a hot box
and the people of Atlanta are still pus-
sled.
All because of Milton H. Smith,
president of the Louisville and Nash
ville Railroad.
The trouble started Saturday and
seems destined to continue for some
weeks. Certainly there was no respAe
Monday. \
To condense the most ludicrous sit
uation In municipal affairs that has
come to pass In many, many moons:
The city council passed an ordinance
allowing the Louisville ft Nashville
three openings to the railroad yard on
East Hunter street nnd one on Butler
street. The railroad wanted the entire
sidewalk In front of Its property. Now
President Smith sends out some thous
and communications to the business
men of Atlanta In which he stated. In
no uncertain words, exactly what law*
the city should pass relative to the
openings. These communications con
sisted of a six-page, single-space,
typewritten letter, addressed to Mayor
Woodward; a two-page letter from
Mayor Woodward to the council nnd a
three-foot map showing the yard* on
Hunter street and a large part of this
terrestrial globe In connection there
with.
Everybody Got 'Em.
These communications were received
by every business man of prominence-
In the city. There was no accompany
ing explanatory note of tho "enclosed
you will find" order, so, of course, the
dtlsens were puasled. "Why should a
communication addressed to the may
or be sent to me?" was the natural
query. And then the recipient would
call up the mayor’s office. When he
was Informed by central that "There
are 788 calls ahead of you," he would
then hie himself, bulky communication
In hand, to the office on the third floor
of the city hall.
Saturday the mayor's office core the
appearance of an apartment store on
bargain day. Monday It looked like a
metropllltan postoffice. Both days the
telephone kept up a continuous ac
companiment to the fiery phrases ejac
ulated by the mayor.
"Hello • • Throw It In' the waat*
basket. • • Nothing to IL • • l’fh
besieged with 'em. • •"
"Mr. Mayor?"
"res, I know—Hello—Throw It In the
waste basket. There are—"
“Mr. Mayor, here’s a letter. It must
belong to you. Bent to mp by mist—'
"It’s an outrage—reflection on the
city council—Yes, I know what It lr
I-ook at this waste basket—Hello."
And thus It has continued throughout
the two day*.
Opened by Mistake.
The Woodward Mantel Company sent
a profuse letter of apology by a special
messenger to the mayor along with tho
great brown official communication,
inarkedl ‘‘Having opened It by mis
take."
H. W. Yarbrough, of 21-2 Auburn
avenue, mistaking the Idea of the com
munication, wrote President Smith,
quoting a 22 price on framing the map
with a 2-Inch oak frame, "including
glass and wire," and sollcitng further
business.
Mapy other thing* were done, but
most of the recipients after having
spent several of their valuable hour*
attempting to ferret Out the mystery,
■Imply “cusded."
One amusing feature of the situa
tion Was the fact that President Smith
In hi* ultm-xeaiousnets to make the
laws of the land a* would best suit the
Louisville and Nashville, sent out many
of the communications with two 2-cent
Stamps. This would not bo cause for
comment but for the fact that one of
th stamps was a due stomp.
What Mayor Woodward said was
probably lost track of, even by the re
cording angel; cestalnly no mere mor
tal could have taken down the rapid
fire pf splcey explanations.
Throughout Saturday he stood th*
strain wonderfully well, despite the
somber prediction* of his friends that
e would have nervous prostration, but
shortly after noon Monday he gave the
howling populus, which was mobollxed
In the anty room, the slip by getting
through the side door.
As the door closed some one said
Milton Smith be—?"
And some one else said: "It was the
maydr!”

8LEUTH AGENCY GIVES
NEW MOTIVE FOR CRIME
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, July 20.—A Pittsburg de
tective agency today gives n new mo
tive for the murder of Stanford White.
Jtarry Thnw shot the architect be
cause White was trying to prevail
upon his young wife to leave him whon
his mother rut off his supply of stand
ing money, It I* said.
When Thaw married Evelyn Nesblt
at the demand of hts mother, after he
hail created a scandal, Mr*. Thaw cut
off his credit at her bankers, It ts said,
and announced that thereafter he
must live with her. She sent hts
young wife to school, studying French,
voice culture, piano and violin. This
life slid not suit the young wlf*.
Turned Back at Pier.
After a violent argument over mon
ey mattera In April last, Harry Thaw
left his Wife and mother and started
for Europe to see hie sister, the Count
ess of Yarmouth. Ho tvns gone only
a few weeks, and she returned with
him. Peace was patched up, but an
other dispute arose the week before
Mr*. William Thaw sailed for Europe.
Harry Tlmw was ordered to go with
Iter, but he turned geek at tha pier. All
this time, It was said today. White
was endeavoring to get the young wife
tn leave her husband, reiirerentlng that
lie Imd no property of hi* own. Tor
tured by the thought thot White had
won hi* wife from him. Thaw shot him
on the Monday night after his mother
hud sailed.
Thaw’s Mother le III.
Mrs. Wiyiam Thaw Is prostrated to
day at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Ocorge L. Carnegie. Rnslyn, L. I., as a
result of her son's obstinacy In refus
ing to follow her advice and plead In
sanity as hi* defense.
Clifford W. Hartridge, Thaw's chief
counsel, today was making desperate
efforts to obtuln the original copies of
letters written by Evelyn Nesblt Thnw
tn Stanford White prior to her mar-
rtage.
These letters, It I* believed. If put In
evidence at Thaw's trlnl will place
Stanford White tn anything but on en
viable light, and will establish n strong
motive for Thaw’s act In shooting down
the architect.

St. Petersburg. July 20.—It has been
Impossible aa yet to verify the rumor
that General Trepoff has been assas
sinated. While' the report has been of
ficially denied, It still persists, and la
credited In usually well-informed cir
cles.
The most serious report of troubl* tn
the provinces comas from Trans-Cau
casia. Tho section around Shusa la in
open rebellion, and the rebels have set
fire to that town. The whole section
Is In a state of panic.
The state of feeling tn the army ts
Indicated by the reports of the mutiny
of the First battalion of the Sevskl
regiment at Poltava. A number of the
men of this battalion had been present
at a meeting of the Social Democrats,
which was raided by the police.
One of the soldiers was captured and
the whole battalion, assisted by a great
mob, attempted to rescue him. It waa
only by the use of machine gun* that
the mob waa quelled.
M, Stolyplu has Indicated his willing
ness to receive and confer with delega
tions of peasants from various sections
who are coming to learn at first hand
what th* government's Intentions are
aa to the distributions.
In government circles this Is regard
ed as a most encouraging symptom.
The douma deputies are gradually
dispersing to their homes, many of the
peasants with much sinking at heart
In view of their failure to redeem their
pledge to bring back with them land
and freedom. Many constitutional
democratic deputies after learning the
state of feeling of their constituents
will return to report at the party con
gress to be hold probably In Finland
toward the end of August.
United States Ambassador Meyer
wa* summoned to Peterlmf Sunday to
enlighten tho czar upon how the new*
of his. dissolving of the douma hail
been received In America and what
Impression It hod produced upon tho
government at Washington.
Mr. Meyer spent two hours in the
czar's study In the Peterhof palace
answering questions and giving tho In
formation sought for. nr course tho
ambassador's Ups are sealed by diplo
matic ethics a* to what whs said at
this highly significant Inttrrlev*.
It I* said the czar gave tho Ameri
can ambassador positive assurance that
he certainly will establish constitution
al Institutions.
There will be no general strike at
present The leaders of the working
men have agreed that It will be best to
postpone action of this kind until prep
arations are further advanced. Dele
gates to the late douma are making
their way to their constituencies for
the purpose of Bounding public opin
ion, and It ts understood that the
douma will be called again about the
first of'September.
It Is said that M. Alladln, leader of
the "Group of Toll" In the douma, haa
returned from London, where he went
to attend the meeting of the Inter-par
liamentary union, but he Is keeping
himself very quiet, as It I* understood
that the police are seeking to arrest
him.
The escape of Famendorff, regarded
as one of the most dangerous revolu
tionary organisers In Russia, from pris
on at Sevastopol, haa caused much Joy
In revolutionary circle*. It Is stated
on high authority thl* afternoon that
General Trepoff has not been assassi
nated. The brewery at Schusselburg
has been dtetroyed by rlotoua work
men. .
