ble Tragedy Enacted
Sunday.
Special to The Georgian.
Albany, (la., Sept. t.—Together with
their mother's cries (or help the chil
dren of Q. Howard Hnyea and wife,
heard two pistol shots which sent both
of their parents Into eternity at noon
yeatcrday.
The double tragedy was enacted In
a bed chamber of the Hayes home
on North Washington street, and when
a physician reached the place, a few
minutes later, Mrs. Hayes was dead,
and her husband dying.
Cause Not Known.
Tho cause of tho double tragedy Is
not known. Mrs. Hayes had been In
had health for some time and at
times her mind appeared to be af
fected . Those who boarded with them
Mate that their married life was not
unhappy. Just what happened during
the night or torenoon preceding the
tragedy will probably never be known,
llayes drank occasionally, but was
perfectly sober. He came In this state
from New York a number of years
air" Mrs. Hayes wds a Miss Lula
Manning. There are three surviving
children. One, a girl 13 years old,

Ills eldest daughter, Ernie, a pro
girl just blossoming Into womanhood,
nnil Julian, a boy of 5 years, were at
tin- table, as were Mrs. Manning, and
several young men, who board with
the family. It was a thoroughly con-
xenlnl company who laughed, joked
nml chatted without a thought of tip
Mack shadow which hung over the
household.
Crist For Help.
Hayes nor hie wife appeared at the
breakfast table, both taking the ntoal
In their room. It was just before noon
that Mrs. Hayes was heard to call for
help. From her room there had pro
ceeded for nn hour or more no re-
rpnnse. then the voices were raised
above a conversational tone, and Mrs.
Hsyea called aa If In terror, "Emmie,
Rosa, Mr. White, come quick!"
v Almost Immediately a pistol shot
rang out closely followed by another,
and then a noise as if a body falling on
the floor followed, after which deep
silence prevailed In the closed room.
Tici parties called were the eldest
daughter of the Hayes, J. 8. White
and Miss Rosa Clemens, who hoarded
with the family. - The door opening
from the bedroom to the dining room
uas locked and when White climbed
Into a window opening Into the yard,
I.,, saw that the two shots had done
their work only too well. The hotly of
M r:i. Hsyea was still lying on the bed
while that of her husband was on the
tv >r at her side. Ubth were In their
night clothes.

39 MARIETTA ST.
By Private Leased Wire.
Syracuse, N. Y.. Sept. 3.—Labor men
from all over central New York gath
ered at Syracuse today to participate
In the welcome which the Central Fed
eration of Labor, extended to William
Randolph Hearst. It was the greatest
demonstration that has ever been held
In (his city, and It Is pstlmaled that
fully 50.000 people took part In It.
Air. Hearst, accompanied by a num
ber of prominent New Yorkers, mem
bers of the Independence League, ar,
rived at 5 a. m. In a special car at
tached lo the regular New York Cen
tral train.
The parly was met at the depot by
Chairman Williams, of the Labor Day
committee, and went to the Vanderbilt
hotel. After breakfast Mr. llrarst was
escorted to the Alhambra, where the
proceedings -of the day were held.
Women in Escort/
Mr. Hearst’s escort consisted of the
carpenters’ union of COO members. 35
women delegates In Ihe central trades
and labor assembly, and the 180 mem
bers of that body, representing Ihe (2
labor unions of Syracuse. The appear
ance of the women labor delegates was
a unique feature of Ihe parade lo tho
Alhambra. Chairman Williams de
clares It Is the most remarkable out
pouring In Ihe history uf Ibis section
of the stale.
In his speech, Mr. Hearst said In
part:
“My friends, this Is the day set asldo
In honor of Labor and In recognition
of Labor's primary Importance In the
greatness of this country. I feel eon-
fldent that Labor Day will become a
national American holiday.
“Hail to the Workers!"
■'Hall to the workers. America haa
been made by them: the resources of
this country have been developed by
lliero. It's wealth and prosperity have
been created by them. Justice require:
that thrlr independence be recognised
and their proper demands snllsffed.
"The mechanic and the farmer, the
■mull land owner, the small farmer,
the small denier, suffer under the Rome
conditions of trust opprssslon and po
litical corruption. They are anxious
for the same relief and tho same re
forms. They will profit alike by the
restoration of our government to the
call It Americanism. And to my mind
It la simply a plan to put Into practical
operation the American theory of gov
ernment.
Believe* in Aotlon.
“Honesty In public service, the rule
of the majority, equality before the law,
regard for the welfare of the whole
peopl 9, Independence In politic, and op
portunity In buslnesa summarises my
position.
"I believe In action rather than
word,. Let public aervant, promise
only what can be actually performed
and then positively perform what they
have promised.
"At present there are two classes In
this country, those who pay and profit
by corrupt legislation and those who
pay tribute to corrupt corporations
politically favored. Let those who op
pose class prejudice equally oppose
class legislation.
As to Ownership.
"I do not believe In private owner
ship of public property, nor In publlo
ownership of private property. I be
lieve In the retention by the people of
the public franchises. I believe In pub
lic ownership of public utilities. I be
lieve that the protective principle Is
vnluablo In Itself, but has been unrea
suitably extended and outrageously
abused.
"I believe In protection for Infant In
dustries. 1 believe In protection for
American Inbor. But I believe Amer
ican labor should be protected against
the high protectionists who use the
proteotlvo tariff to build un monopo
lies and use those monopolies to In-
crease the cost of living and control
the demand for "labor at a low rate of
wages.
"I believe American labor should be
protected egnlnst Chinese labor and
against Ihe entering wedge of Oriental
conditions. I believe there should be
'no protection for oppressive trusts.'
believe Ihe tariff should be modified
and public ownership Inaugurated, but
that both should be done cautiously
nnd conservatively with due regard to
ihe stability of business Interests and
the perpetuation of the prosperity on
which we all depend.
Jail for the Ouilty.

"I have been a member of the labor

eager to share profits with the labor-

“I have stated In reply what every
Intelligent human being In this coun

not voluntarily Increase the wages of
their employees as profits Increase, but
they do voluntarily Increase the Issues

“And the result of this ovor-capltal-

TWO SENATORS VISIT
ATLANTA ON
Senator Herbert A. Williams,
Olaacnck, and Senator Charles 8. Reid,
of Campbell, were caller, at the capl-
tol Monday. Senator William, will
represent Glascock In the Macon con
vention Tueaday. HI, colleague will
be J. C. Kelly. Senator Reid la a can
didate for one of the court of appeal*
place*. Both aenature mode pleaaant
desire any more. I say there are more calu upon Governor Terrell,
than enough of the w rong kind of laws. .Senator Williams was an ardent sup-
but not enough of the right kind of] porter of the governor-to-be and Con-
laws. There are enough laws In the | Hardwick. It was his
Interest of the corporations, hut not
enough In the Interest of the people.
“I do not advocate a strictly labor
union party. That party would be as
yet In a permanent minority. But I
do advocate united political notion, by
all the producing classes and they will
constitute a permanent majority.
My program Is not socialism or rad
icalism or an extreme of any kind. 1
substitute bill that makes the office
of railroad commissioners elected by
the people In the future. Senator Wil
liams made hts race for the senate on
this platform, and his popularity, along
with that of the measure he advocated,

Gentlemen: Your requeit that I be
come a candidate for one of the three
Judgeahlpa of the court of appeal*, If
the conatltutlonal amendment creating
oald court I* ratlfled by the people on
October 3, haa been In my hands for
■ome day,. In my opinion, It U a
matter of paramount Importance to the
public Interest that thle court should
be eatnbllahed, and I have feared that
any agitation of the personnel of said
court before He creation wa* prema
ture and might haxard the succeaa of
the meaaure. In view of the announce
ment of other candidates, however, end
the possibility that the Democratic
convention which meet, at Macon next
Tueiday may deem It wlee to take
aome action looking to the election or
nomination of judges, I have decided
that It would be proper for me at this
time to make answer to your requeat.
I can And no words fittingly to express
my grateful appreciation for the lan
guage In which you convey your wishes
and I assure you that whatever may
be the result, whether I win or lose In
the contest, to be considered by so
large a number of my professional
brethren as worthy to occupy this ex
alted station. Is an honor that I deeply
prise and will ever gratefully cherish.
While always Interested In public
questions and a loyal member of the
Democratic party and on earnest ad
vocate of Its principles and Its stand
ard-bearers, I have never offered for
public position before the people. 1
frankly confess to you that I have an
ambition to serve tho state In a judi
cial capacity, and relying upon your
estimate of my fitness for the position,
I now submit my name to the voters
of the Democratic party for one of the
three Judgeships qf the court of ap
peals, If In their wisdom they should
see proper to create such court. If the
voters of Georgia approve my candi
dacy and elevate me to this high posi
tion, I promise them to bring to the
discharge of the Important duties of
the ofllce an earnest purpose to seek
truth and Justice, and In consecrated
service, to protect and declare the
right* of the people under the law. I
make this announcement subject to
any action which the Democratic par
ty may take, either through the con
vention In Macon or by direction of the
Democratic executive committee of the
state. It will not be possible between
now and the election for me to meet
In person all the Democratic voters,
and I beg that each one will consider
this announcement as a personal re
quest for his support and Influence.
Again assuring each one of you
gentlemen of my sincere appreciation,
I am, Yours truly,
BENJ. H. HILL.

New York, Sept. 3.—The biggest nav
al review In the history of the United
States took place today at the entrance
of Long Island Sound just off President
Roosevelt's home at Oyster Bay.
One of the smallest crowds that ever
gathered to witness such an event was
present owing to the peculiar arrange
ments made by orders of the president,
and thousands who did go down to Oy
ster Bay saw little more than puff* of
smoke on the horizon.
Fog Hangs Over Water,
The gray, lowering skies with
heavy fog hanging low on the water
made the conditions even worse than
they normally would have been for the
people who Journeyed down to the
Long Island south shore.
When the ships “dressed'' at S a m„
there was only a handful of people to
witness the stirring light.
An excursion fleet numbering most
of the steam vessels from New. York
and from Connecticut and Rhode Is
land ports had gathered early In the
vicinity of Oyster Bay, but the men,
women and children crowding their
decks were doomed to disappointment
to tar as seeing the review or even the
fleet Itself In some cases.
Kspt Out of “Lines.”
None of the excursion fleet was per
mitted within the ''lines,” and from
that distance the fog eerved as a cur-
tala
For those who could see {he war
ships they presented a formidable up-
penrnm® In spite of their holiday garb
of gay pennons.
They were anchored In a parallel
line, all In command of Rear Admiral
Evans, who had under him 15,236 men
and 811 officers all In their smartest
rigs lining the decks and the lighting
tops as the ships were “dressed.”
Tho great squadron as It lay at
anchor numbered forty-six of the most
powerful of lighting machines afloat.
They mounted 1,178 8, 8 or 13-Inch
guns. A flotilla of torpedo boats flank
ed the battleships and armored cruls
ere and auxiliary vessels and a troop
ship was also In position.
Guns 8alute President.
It was promptly at 10:45 o’clock that
the auxiliary cruiser Mayflower, also
known as the president's yacht, sent
forth her signal and the pennant of the
president of the United States was run
up to the peak. President Roosevelt
with Secretary Bonaparte had arrived
on their launch.
In a moment more the Mayflower
had her anchor up, left her position
near the head of the bay and steamed
toward the entrance of the sound and
the beginning of the lino of war ves
sels. As the president's vessel rounded
the lighthouse point the signal was
given from Rear Admiral Evans' flag
ship. the Maine, to "begin firing.''
Every batleshlp, armored cruiser,
torpedo boat anil auxiliary made ready.
In a moment more there was half a
hundred vivid flashes of light from as
many vessels, half a hundred rever
berating crashes thundered out and the
salute to the president—twentyipne
guns from every ship—was begun.
Terrific Din Follows.
The din outrlvalled the thunder thaj
accompanied the storm of the early
morning before daybreak. It was
greater than that of the average naval
battle.
But the general salute of twenty-one
guns from the fleet entire did not end
the shooting. As the Mayflower pass
ed down the line of huge fighting
machines each vessel separately boom
ed out another presidential salute of
twenty-one guns. The salutes became
Indistinguishable and the general bom
bardment was begun all over again.
This was the review Itself, the May
flower bearing the president, officials
and guests passing elowly down past
each vessel with Its blue Jackets and
marines at "present” as the command
er-fn-chlef passed and the officers as
luting.
Ceremony Proceeds Slowly.
It took more than half an hour for
the individual salutes of the vessels to
be completed and the rest of the cere
mony proceeded slowly.
The whole ceremony lasted more
than an hour and a quarter, so that It
was high noon before the president on
the Mayflower was ready to anchor at
the head of the squadron.
Following the Mayflower assuming
her position with the splash of her
anchor there wa* a little commotion on
the batleshlp Maine and Rear Admiral
Evans and Captain Plllsbury, his chief
of staff, descended to their launch and
steamed over to the Mayflower to pay
his formal respects.
