KILLS HIS WIFE
THEN HIMSELFs
if
Albany In Shocked by Dou
ble Tragedy Enacted
Smidav.
spec 1*1 to The Georgian.
Albany, Oa„ Sept. S.—Together with
their mother's cries for help the chil
dren of O. Howard Hayes and wife,
heard two pletol shots which sent both
of their parents Into eternity at noon
yesterday.
The double tragedy was enacted In
a bed chamber of the Hayes home
on North Waehtngtnn street, and when
a physician reached the place, a few
mlnutoa later, Mrs. Hayes waa dead,
and her husband dying.
Csuaa Not Known.
Tba causa of the double tragedy la
not known. Mre. Hayes had bean In
had health for aoma time and at
times her mind appeared to be af
fected. Those who boarded with them
slate that thetr married life was not
unhappy. Just what happened during
the night or forenoon preceding the
tragedy wilt probably never be known.
I hives drank occasionally, but was
perfectly sober. He came to this state
from New York a number of years
ugo. Mrs. Hayes was a Miss I.'ula
limning. There are three surviving
iiiildren. One, a girl 13 years old, Is
visiting Ip t-aa county.
ills eldest daughter, Ernie, a pretty
girl Just blossoming Into womanhood,
and Julian, n boy of 3 years, were at
tlio table, as were Mrs. Manning, and
several young men, who board with
the family, it was a thoroughly con-
vnla] company who laughed. Joked
ami chatted without a thought of tigs
Mack shadow which hung over the
household.
Crlea For Help.
Hayes nor his wife appeared at the
breakfast table, both taking the meal
In their room. It was Just before noon
that Mrs. Hayes waa beard to call for
help. From her room there had pro-
i cited for an hour or more no re
sponse then the voices were raised
Hbovi a conversational tone, and Mrs.
Hayes called aa If In terror, "Emmie,
Rosa, Mr. White, cmne quick!"
Almost Immediately a pistol shot
rang out closely followed by another,
eml then a Qotse aa If a body falling on
the floor followed, after which deep
silence prevailed In the closed room.
The parties called were the eldest
daughter of the Hayes, J. B. White
nnd Miss Bosk Clemens, who boarded
with the family. The door opening
from the bedroom to the dining room
was locked and when White climbed
Into a window opening Into the yard,
he saw that the two shots had done
ihelr work only too well. The body of
Mrs. Hayes was still lying on the bed
while that of her husband waa on the
floor at her side. Both were In their
night clothes.
Howard Hayes was a saw mill
operator who spent every week at the
It. Pops mill, some mites above Albany,
i n the A. & B. Railroad. He returned
home each Saturday evening and re
mained with hla family until Monday.

Mew Yorker Makes Labor Day Speech at
Sy racuse—SO,000 Persons Take Part
in Demonstration.
By Prlmte Loused Wire.
Syracuse, N. Y„ Sept. S.—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 Henrst. It was the greatest
demonstration that has ever been held
In this city, and It la estimated that
fully 30,000 people took part In It.
Mr. Hearat, accompanied by a num
ber of prominent New Yorkers, mem
bers of the Independence League, ar
rived at 6 n. m. In a *pec!al car at
tached to the regular New York Cen
tral train.
The party waa met at the depot by
Chairman William*, of th« Labor Day
committee, and went to the Vanderbilt
hotel. After breakfast Mr. Hearat wan
escorted to the Alhambra, where the
proceedings of the day were held.
Women In Escort.
Mr. Hearat’s eacort consisted of the
carpenters' union of BOO members, 26
women delegates In the central trades
and labor assembly, nnd tho 1(3 mem
bers of that body, representing the 32
labor unions of Syracuse. The nppear-
nne* of the women labor dolegatea was
n unique feature of the parade to the
Alhambra. C'.tmlrraan Williams de
clares It la tile most remarkable out
pouring In tho history of thla aectlon
of the state.
In his speech, Mr. Henrst said In
part: ,
"My friends, this la the day eet aside
In honor of Labor and In recognition
of Labor's primary Importance In the
greatness of this country. I feel con-
Ident that laibor Day will become a
national American holiday.
"Hail to the Worker*!”
"Hall to the workere. America has
been made by them; the resource* of
this country have been developed by
them. It'* wealth and prosperity have
been created by them. Justice requires
that their Independence he rerognlaod
and their proper demands satisfied.
"The mechanic anil the farmer, the
small land owner, the smnll farmer,
the small dealer, suffer under the same
Ulons of trust oppression and po-
lltlrnl corruption. They are anxious
for the same relief and the same re
forms. They will profit alike by the
restoration of our government to the
Jeffersonian Idea of equal rights for nil
nnd special privileges to none.
"The producing classes should stand
shoulder to shoulder In the struggle
agalnet the exploiting corporation!.
Attitude of Corporation*.
"I have been a member of the labor
committee In the house of representa
tives and I know the attitude of the
corporations on this question. I have
heard the representative* of corpora
tions speak before tho committee; I
have heard them declare they were
opposed to on eight-hour law or any
law affecting wages, but thnt they were
eager to share profits with the labor
ing men us soon aa profits Increased so
i to Justify It.
"I have stated In reply what every
Intelligent human being In this coun
try knows to be n fact, corporations do
not voluntarily Increase the wages of
their employees ns prom* Increase, but
they do voluntarily Increase the issues
of watered stock.
"And the result of this over-capital-
Izatlon and reckless speculation Is that
when adversity comes Investors are
swindled, wages arc reduced, freight
rates become Intolerable and a period
of depression Is aggravated and In
tensified until It become* a l«nlc.
Plenty of Bad Law*.
'Judge Barker, a typical corporation
attorney, say* there nre enough laws
and that the people do not need or
desire any more. I say there are more
than enough of the wrong kind of law*,
but not enough of the light kind of
law*. There are enough laws In the
Interest of the corporations, but not
enough In the Interest of tho people.
I do not advocate a strictly labor
union party. That party would he aa
yet In a permanent minority. But I
do advocate united political action, by
all the producing classes and they will
onstltute a permanent majority.
"My program is not socialism or rad
icalism or an extreme of any kind. I
call It Americanism. And to my mind
It Is simply a plan to put Into practical
operation the American theory of gov
ernment.
Believes ih Action.
"Honesty In public service, the rule
of the majority, equality before the law,
regard for the welfare of the whole
people, Independence In politics and op
portunity In business summarises my
position.
"I believe In action rather than
words. Lot public servants promise
only what can'be actually performed
and then positively perform what they
have promised.
“At present there arc two classes In
thla country, those who pay and profit
by corrupt legislation nnd those who
pay tribute to corrupt corporation*
politically favored. Let those who op
pose class prejudice equally oppose
class legislation.
At to Ownership.
"I do not believe In private owner
ship of public property, nor In public
ownership of private property. I be
lieve In the retention by the people of
the public franchises. 1 believe In pub
lic ownership of public utilities. I be
lieve that the protective principle I*
valuable In Itself, but has bean unrea
sonably extended nnd outrageously
abused.
"I believe In protection for Infant In
dustries. I believe In protection for
American labor. But I believe Amer
ican labor should be protected against
the high prntoetlonlsts who use the
f irotectlvo tariff to build up monopo-
les nml 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 against Chinese labor and
against the entering wedge of Oriental
conditions. I believe there should be
'no protection for oppressive trusts.’ I
believe the tariff should be modified
nnd public ownership Inaugurated, but
that both should be done cautiously
and conservatively with due regard to
the stability of business Interest* and
the perpetuation of the prosperity on
which we all depend.
Jail for the Guilty.
"1 believe In the restraint nnd regu.
latlon of trusts nnd monopolies by lawk
I believe In the prison penalty tor the
reapunalbte representatives of criminal
combination*. One law-defying mil
lionaire In Jail will do more than any
other single thing to regulate trust In
iquity and elevate the moral tone of the
community.
"I believe that the distribution of
wealth Is a* Important aa the creation
of wealth. I believe tn labor union*
and farmer*' grange* and organisation*
that promote the distribution of wealth,
anil I realise that prosperity of legiti
mate business men depend upon the
purchase of the masses."

Gentleqjen: Your request that I be
come a candidate for one of the three
Judgeahlps of th* court of appeals. If
the constitutional amendment creating
said court la ratified by tha people on
October (, has been In my hands for
some days. In my opinion. It Is u
matter of paramount Importance to the
public Interest that this court should
ba established, and I have feared that
any agitation of the peraonnel of said
court before Its creation was prema
ture and might hazard the success of
the measure. In view of the announce
ment of other candidates, however, and
the possibility that the Democratic
convention which meets at Macon next
Tuesday may deem It wise to take
some 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 request.
I can find 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
targe a number of my professional
brethren aa worthy to occupy this ex
alted station. Is an honor that I deeply
prize and will ever gratefully cherish.
While always Interested In public
questions and a loyal member ot the
Democratic party and an earnest ad
vocate of Its principles and Its stand
ard-bearers, I have never offered for
public position before the people,
frankly confess to you that I have an
ambition to serve the state In a Judi
cial rapacity, and relying upon your
estimate of my fitness for tha position,
I now submit my name to the voters
of the Democratic party for one of the
three Judgeships of the court of ap
peals, If In their wisdom they should
see proper to create such court. If the
voters of Georgia approve my candh
dacy and elevate me to this high post
tlon, I promise them to bring to tljc
discharge ot the Important duties of
the office an earnest purpose to seek
truth and justice, and In consecrated
service, to protect and declare the
rights of the people under the law.
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 tho
Democratic executive committee of the
state. It will not be posklble between
now and the election for mo to meet
In person’ all the Democratic voters,
and I beg that each one will consider
thla announcement as a personal re
quest for his support and Influence.
Again assuring each one of you
gontlemen of my plncere appreciation,
I am. Yours truly,
BENJ. H. HILL.

New York, Sept, 3.—The biggest nav
al review tn the history of the United
States took placj today "at the entrance
of Lonr 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 puffs of
smoke on the horizon.
Fog Hanga Over Water.
The gray, lowering eklea with a
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 tho
Long Island south shore.
When the ships “dressed” at I a m.,
there was only a handful ot people to
witness the stirring fight.
‘ An excursion fleet numbering most
of the steam vessels from New York
and from Connecticut and Rhode Is
land ports had gathered early In tha
vicinity of Oyster Bay, but the men,
women and children crowding their
decks were doomed to disappointment
ao far as seeing th* review or even the
fleet Itself tn some cases. •
Kept Out of "Line*.”
None of the excursion fleet waa per
mitted within the "lines,” and from
that distance the fog served as a cur
tain.
For those who could see the war
ships they presented a formidable ap
pearance In spite ot thetr holiday garb
of gay pennons.
They were anchored In a parallel
line, all In command of Rear Admiral
Evans, who had under him 16,228 men
and 611 officers all In their amnrteat
rigs lining the decks and the fighting
tops as the ships were “dressed.”
The great squadron a* It lay at
anchor numbered forty-six of the moat
powerful of lighting machine* afloat.
They mounted 1,178 6, 8 or 13-Inch
guns. A flotilla of torpedo boats flank
ed the battleship! and armored cruis
er* and auxiliary vessels and a troop
ship was also In position.
Guns 8aluto Prssldant,
It waa promptly at 10; 46 o'clock that
tha 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 thetr 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 ot the line of war ves
sels. As the president's vessel rounded
the lighthouse point the signal was
glvtn from Rear Admiral Evapi’ flag
ship, the Maine, to "begin firing."
Every batleshlp, armored cruiser,
torpedo boat and auxiliary made ready.
In a moment more there waa halt a
hundred vivid flashes of light from aa
many vaaaela, half a hundred rever
berating crashes thundered out and th*
salute to the president—twenty-one
gun* from every ship—was begun.
Tarrifio Din Follows.
The din outrivalted the thunder that
accompanied the storm ot the early
morning before daybreak. It was
greater than that of the average naval
battle.
But the general salute of twenty-one
gune from the fleet entire did not end
the shooting. As the Mayflower pase-
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
