LIFE OR LIBER TY OFMA DINE, HA R TJE WITNESS, MENA CED ll.v Private Leased Wire. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 27.—It was leumed today that a well-planned at tempt was made to either kidnap or murder Tom Madine, the coachman, a •lay or two before he went on the stand in the Hartje divorce trial. A telephone message was sent to a livery stable where Madine was working, asking him to meet Attorney . John Freeman, Mrs. Hartje's chief counsel, at a certain place that night. The message was delivered to Madine, and because of the lonely nature of the meeting place, he became suspicious. He called Attorney Freeman, wl knew nothing of it. Then a* plan wi laid to catch the parties. With several detectives, Madine went to the place at the hour named, but just as they nenred It five men dashed away In an automobile which had been drawn up at the side of the road In the shadow of some busjies. Since then Madine has never been without a guard. He returned today from Atlantic City, where for two weeks he has not been from under the eyes of his guards day or night. SUNDA Y SPREES ARE CAUSED BY INHALING “AUTO JUICE' li.v Private leased Wire. St. Louts, Mo., Aug. 27.—Gasoline 1s the latest addition to the long list of Intoxicants. A number of young men In the vicinity of Marcus and St. Louis avenues have discovered Its Intoxicat ing qualities, according to John E. Mc Kenna, deputy United States collector. The gasoline Is not drunk, but In haled until one has accumulated enough to produce a sort of drunk. A gallon of gasoline Is sufficient to set a small army tipsy. Aside from the economy of the spree Is the fact that one can be got on Sunday, ns the state laws do not re quire merchants selling It to close.

TRY A WANT-AD - IN THE GEORGIAN Will the Populist* hold a convention In Atlanta Tuesday? Nobody seems to know definitely what will be done about It. Judge J. Hines says there will be no com- ventlon; J. E. Bodenhamer, who Is not secretary of the state executive com mittee, according to J. A. Bodenhamer, committeeman from the Seventh dis trict and editor of the Dalton Herald, populist organ, says there will not be; Chairman J. J. Holloway In a card to The Georgian Saturday said there would be a convention. So therfe Is the conflict of opinion. Tljp Georgian Is In receipt of a letter from M. A. Bodenhamer, of Dalton, who writes on the letter head of the Dalton Herald, and signs “The Dalton Herald, M. A. Bodenhamer/* He says that the state committee alone has the power to call off the convention for Tuesday, and not Chairman Holloway, J. E. Bodenhamer (who Is not secre tary of the committee) or any other Individual. In conclusion the writer says: “From the tone of the letters received daily there WILL BE a con vention on August 28." What Holloway Atke. clipping from the Dalton Herald of August 29 Is enclosed containing an open letter from Chairman Holloway. He says that Tom Watson In a letter to him advises that no convention be held and no ticket be put out. Wat son suggests that he confer with the committeemen and get a consensus of opinion along this line. Chairman Holloway then proceeds to propound several questions to the com mitteemen. He first wants to know whether it will be best to call off the convention of August 28 or wait and sec the result of the primary' of August 22 (the letter Is dated August 18.) The third question Is as fol lows: “Or shall we meet and declare our complete divorcement from the Demo cratic party, form a mammoth Peoples Party Club, and declare our adherence to the v-lll of the majority of. those who will enroll as Populists, thus lay ing the foundations anew for the on ward march of Populism, and express our undying determination to have a full ticket In the field at an early date for the next campaign regardless of what the Democratic party may do?" Quotes Tom Watson. Editor Bodenhamer. comments at length oh this question. He Intimates that neither Tom Watson nor Judge Hines has any right to advise or at tempt to dictate any policy or course of conduct to the populists, since both have, at least temporarily, enlisted under the Democratic banner. ,He says that ns the committeeman from the Seventh district he favors holding the convention and placing ticket in the field, and concludes: "We are In favor of standing by and building up the Peoples party because of the prlndlpes It advocates. Those principles are the same today os they were when Mr. Watson made them the following glowing appeal: " 'The clouds gather, I know', and the storm and darkness come upon the land. The weaklings perish; the birds of the day fall and flutter and perish. But the eagle—he of the ages—strong of wing and dauntless of heart, rises against the storm, beats hhi wray thro’ It and beyond it, and gives a fierce cry of joy ns he bathes his wings In the sunlight above the clouds. Oh, spirit of Populism! Be thou the eagle, to rise against the darkness and the storm, and to live In the sunlight be yond when the tempest Is past and gone.'" State Committee. The .state executlye committee of the Peoples party Is as follows: J. J. Holloway, chairman, Clem, Ga. First'district, Colquitt Daniel, Hagan, Ga. Second district, J. H. Parrish, Syl vester. Third district, H. M. Searcy, Davls- ton. Fourth district, R. B. Gaston, Car rollton. Alternate, C. T. Hensly, Villa Rica. Fifth district, C. T. Parker, Atlanta, 026 Chestnut street. Alternate, N. A. Farmer, Llthonla. Sixth district, F. J. Vining, Thouian- ton. Seventh district, J. A. Bodenhamer, Dalton. Eighth district—None present—last elected can act Ninth district, J. T. Waters, Gaines ville. Tenth district, W. J. Henning. Eleventh district, G. B. Crane, Dixie. So this appears to be the muchly mixed situation. From present Indica tions it would seem that the only way to definitely tell whether the Populists meet on August 28 is to wait for that date. Journey to Unknown Lind Under Guidance of Two Religions- -Modern Christianity and Old World Mysticism. H|kv1.I to The Gt-nrjrtfin. Spartanburg, 8. C„ Aug. 27.—Jo* Koon and John Gold.n, colorad, were killed at Croaa Hill Thuraday after noon by lightning. They were alttlng In front of a fireplace In Oolden'a houae during a thunder atnrm. Lightning ■truck the chimney and both Golden and Koon were Instantly killed. With pungent Incenae from burning Joaa Sticks mingling with fragrance of anow white llowers, surrounded by Christian teachera of the modern Weat and aoft-footed natives of the sleeping Orient, Joe Lee, once a worshiper of the Chinese goda, but a convert to the religion of hie adopted country, waa given hla Inst Journey Sunday after noon. Hla funeral waa a atrange com bination of Christian services and quaint old world rites and a striking example of the tolerance and breadth of tho churches of today. In far away Canton, where Reeta of sampans ply upon the broad river and thousands upon thousands of yellow skinned Celeatlala struggle for their dally rice, a woman walta for the re turn of the husband she wedded years ago. It will be weeks before she Jearna that ahe la a tyldow, for the frugal Chinese ore not contributors to the cable companies. But to her Joe Lee can be but little more than a name, fbr years have come and gone since he left the child-wife to seek a fortune In the land of the strange white devils. Perhapa It waa like many another Chi- neee wedding, a marriage service, a parting at the ship and a farewell for yeara or forever. More than hnlf of the quiet wearers of the queue In America left a wife behind them in the country of the emperor. For more years than many of hla customera could recall Joe Lee kept hla laundry In Atlanta. Always he was found be hind his table, starching. Ironing, spraying the white linen from between his teeth, while he hummed a droning monotone in a language strange to passera-by. Perhaps he waa singing of far away Canton, of the little yellow wife who waited for his return, of an old age of wealth and ease In his own country. But Joe Lee was destined to penetrate the veil of the unknown from an alien land, through a path de spised by his ancestors. Dead in Hla Bed. A week ago a belated customer call ed at Joe Lee'a shop for his Sunday mofnlng laundry, but the shutters had not been opened. An Investigation was made nnd the body of Joe Lee was found In his bed. His soul had winged Its way to another land. His Chris tianised friends called It heaven; the adherents to the Chinese gods gave It a mine as flowery as only Orlentlal pools can Imagine. For a week the body lay at the un dertaking establishment of Darctey ft Drandon. The thrifty Chinese waited for another Bunday when every friend might attend the funeral without loss of a working hour. At noon Bunday the Chinese services began. A Chris tian ceremony followed, for Joe Lee had long since become a convert through the mission classes of the church. But while the small class qf Chris tianised Chinese were willing to trust the spirit of their friend to the new religion, those of the old faith begged that they might make sure of Joe Lee’s reception Into the world beyond by guarding his spirit In their accept ed way. Surely It could do no harm, certainly It would relieve the doubts of his relatives In the old country and the new, for several of Joe Lee's cou sins followed him to Atlanta. Thus two services were arranged. The body lay In state In the chapel at noon on Sunday. Great white floral emblems, a harp, a white dove, a cross, covered the coffln from view. These were the Christians tributes. Triose of the Chinese were of a different na ture. Old Werld Rites. When half a dosrn of the unconvert ed Celeatlala arrived, some with queues close around shaven heads, some with LOW RATES via SOUTHERN RAILWAY closely cropped oily hair, but all dree., ed In the garb of twentieth century America, th* Chinese rites began. Woo Fou San SI conducted the aervlces. The others stood close by with never a ray of expression In the slanting eyes, their faces Impassive as though no such thing as death were In the world. At the foot of the cofRn burned sev eral Joaa sticks, the ends glowing In a spark which sent up clouda of fragrant amoke. Three tapers of red wax flamed beside them. A few curious Americans In the background looked on with in tereat. Woo Fou San spread a cloth upon the floor at the foot of their bier and knelt upon It. Three tlmea he bowed before the coffln, hla shaven head touching the floor at each salaam, few mysterious gestures followed, cloth of rad and white was waved above the Incense and Woo Fou San arose. The Honors on thq bier wero removed and the cloth, an emblem of the Chinese -Free Masons, was laid across the coffln and the flowera re- f Raced. A great platter of Chinese del- cacles, freshly cooked chicken, spicy curries, bits of birds' nesls from the old country, were laid before the coffln that the spirit of Joe Lee might have sustenance on Its tong journey to the gate of mystery. Aa the minister and teachera of the mission etnas arrived the Joae sticks and viands were removed. The Rev. A. C. Ward, pastor of the Temple Bap Hat Church, read the service nf the church In the usual way and the coffln was borne to the hearse. One of the Chinamen mounted to the seat beside the driver. To Baffle the Devil. The route to Westvlew Cemetery was changed to permit the procession to pass the meeting place or the Free Masons on Hunter street. Twenty car riages filled with Chinese were In line. As the cortege passed through the streets the man on the hearse threw Into the air bits of tissue pnper per forated with hundreds of tiny holes. There were to delay the devil In his pursuit of the spirit of Joe Lee, for his majesty must pass through each of the perforations nnd this would re quire much time and enable the spirit to reach the heavenly gates before the dovtl could overtake It. At the open grave In Westvlew a curious crowd of hundreds watted for the arrival of the procession. The cu riosity seekers were given little to In terest them. A few colored cloths were piled at the foot of the grave and burned, the amoke rising through the sunlight while the words of the Chris tian service were repealed. Bach friend of the departed Jo* Lee threw n handful of earth upon the coffln and turned awny. The body of Joe Lee hnd been placed safely In Its Inst bed, hla spirit was on Its way to the un known and the followers of the two religions were content In their own be lief as to Its destination. Aa the crowd departed from the rapidly filling grave one thoughtful watcher repeated softly the words of that old Persian pessimist who haa set ao many wondering: "There waa the veil through which I could not see, There was the door to which I had no key."
