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!” Longworths Refuse to Visit The Sick Man of Europe By Prlvnto 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.

O Bower"!? at”'v*TCoban et mL, tram' 0OO00O0OO0OO00O000O0OOO000 By GEORGE FRAZER, gplrelnl Cable-Copyright. 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*.
