THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN,
HERE IS ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE
TO BEAT THE AVERAGE “BEST SELLER”
MACON STREET CARS
MOSTMAKE SCHEDULE
OR SHOW CAUSE WHY
Special to Tlit Georgian.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 3.—To compel the
Macon Railway and Light Company to
operate the cars of the Macon system
on schedule time, ns provided In the
ordlnanco governing the street railway
franchise, the police force Is now doing
duty timing cars and making notes of
failures to obey the law. Since the
street car strike the franchise ordi
nance has been ^rigidly, enforced,, and
for every violation the management
will be haled before the recorder.
Xew York, Nov. 2.—The young wom
an now In Paris who Is anxious to And
her sweetheart, ox-Lleutenant Al
brecht Reciter; of the German army, is
.Miss Bertha Paul, daughter of Frank
Paul, a wealthy and prominent res I
dent* of Moritreai. Miss Paul Is well
known in social circles in New York
and spend*, part of each year here.
With ernUrination of the information
r* to the identity of the girl, which A.
Kaufman, the well-to-do manufac
turer and member of the Llederkrana
< 'lub, has been making a mystery of,
»-Mines the revelation of an even more
remarkable romance than was origi
nally told by him. Kaufman’s motive
hi trying to discover the whereabouts
of Becker lies not merely In ills friend
ship for the Baroness von Kaskel, of
Munich, the young man’s sister. Ac
cording to Miss Paul’s parents. Kauf
man is In love with her himself. In
linding Becker he hopes to disillusion
the beautiful girl, divert her affection
from the ex-Lieutenant, and thus re
move an obstacle from the path of his
own courtship. Miss Paul 1ms refused
to marry any one uhtll her former
lover Is found, or It Is known that he
Is dead.
Angry at Daughter and 8uitor.
Kaufman has got Into deep trouble
with the parents of Miss Paul, through
his methods in conducting the quest.
He has been repudiated by them, while
Mr. Paul Is also very angry over his
•laughter’s persistence In clinging to
memory of Bdcker, whom she has not
seen since she was eighteen years old.
•She Is now twenty-seven, and is said
to be of a rare type of beauty. Miss
Paul has many friends, both in this
country hnd In Kurope.
Becker has been found in Florida, hut
three days ago, upon leurnlng of the
search being made for him, he disap
peared. Whether he Is on his way to
*bls city to reveal himself or Is de
termined that he will not he found Is
uncertain. The young man has been
working as timekeeper on the Florida
Keys extension of the Hast Coast rall-
t'"Ud. Kaufman received word yester
day from a messenger he sent there
that pro^f of the fellow’s .identity had
been obtained. However, he had given
up his position before Kaufman's mes-
tiger arrived.
Fortune, too, Awaits Fugitive.
Besides the hands of the girl lie once
professed to love, there awaits Becker
»be fortune of which -he was deprived

-uine his proper place In society. The more Interested in
I'fusal of the sister to assist Becker (than Miss Paul Is.
hen he appealed to her, coupled with ; from her parents
■from my point of view. Becker came to
the United States, apparently with a
view of becoming self-supporting. His
sister In the meantime had married
Herr Baron Von Kaskel, but the baron,
who Is wealthy, stipulated in the mar
riage contract that his wife would nev
er give financial aid to her brother,
whom he consider a ne’r-do-wcll.
“Becker found work In Chicago, bul
became hard up und wrote to ids sis
ter for assistance. This letter, accord
ing to her promise to her husband, was
not answered. Loiter on ids landlady
wrote to the sister thnt he was very
III. At the request of the baron his
wife replied that she could not Help her
brother. Later on, both the harou and
flic baroness experienced a change at
heart und communicated with the land
lady. By this time Becker had left
Chicago and no one knows where he is
now. Worried by remorse, the baron
ess, through her friend Knufman, Is
moving heaven and earth to And her
brother and Is making use of my
daughter’s friendship for him to lure
hint Into divulgin'* his whereabouts.”
Father Enjoins Secrecy.
Mr. Paul admitted that Kaufman is a
friend of both Id* and the von Kaskel
family. He also said that the New
York man Is In love with Ids daughter
and has proposed to her several times.
Since the publication of the story Mr.
Paul has requested Kaufman not to re-
veul the name of the young woman.
From the first Kaufman hus kept the
secret, although he told all the circum
stances of the affair and gave for pub
lication u picture of Miss Paul. It was
through friends of the girl in New
York recognising tlm picture,- that her
name became known. Mr, Paul re
buked Kaufman nnd received a letter
from hint In which lie said that his
purpose In having It published was that
he thought no one besides himself and
Becker would recognise It. and that If
the latter saw It he would reveal his
whereabouts.
i* Paul acknowledged that In an
Interview with Lieutenant Becker,
when he was asked fur his daughter’s I
hand, he advised Becker to go to work
and then sec what he could offer in the
way of properly supporting a wife.
Becker replied that he would demean
himself by working In Kurope, but that
he would come to America. In conclu
sion the father said: “Becker was the
kind of a man who would turn the head
of any young girl.”

Kaufman, whose home Is at No. 107
West Eighty-ninth street, was seen at
his office, No. 133 Rcade street. He is

crs. Hrtwever, It is believed that the
wages offered to the machinists prior
to the strike are to apply from Novem
ber fi, anti the company’s proposition
to arbitrate the differences between
that scale and the demand of a uni
form advance of 2 1-2 cents per hour
for machinists and 1 cent for uppren- f
tlces has been accepted and the ar
bitration has been arranged for under
the plan and basis suggested by the
company as promptly as practicable.
Twelve shops, including Atlanta,
Birmingham, Macon, Knoxville, Selma,
Huntsville, Memphis, Columbus, Spen
cer, Alexandria, Luwrencevllle and
Charleston, were tied up by the walk
out nearly a month ago.
The machinists walked out of the
shops because the road refused to grant
Mat increase of 2 1-2 cents an hour.
The machinists claimed the men In
the Southern shops at this place get
loss than ‘machinists anywhere on the
system. They also claim that living
expenses In Atlanta are higher than
many places nnd equally as- high a#
any other cities o» the system.
The ilemand of the machinists was
met by the officials of the Southern
with u counter proposition. This prop
osition provided for un increase of
1 1-2 cents an hour for Atlanta, l cent
for Birmingham and 1-2 cent an hour
for Knoxville, Spencer and Columbia.
The Southern’s offer meant about $1,-
500 Increase to the union men, while
the demand of the strikers called for
an Increase of about $50,000.
Although about one hundred strike
breakers were brought Into the Atlanta
shops by the railroad to fill the places
of the union machinists, not u single
Incident of violence was reported
throughout the month. No trouble
was feared at any point on the sys
tem.
History of 8trike.
The Southern established a commis
sary within the Inclosure about the
shops and the strike breakers, as far
as possible, were kept out of reach of
the union pickets. The number of
strike breakers at the local shops was
gradually reduced to about sixty by the
pickets, who prevailed upon the non
union men to leave.
One of the Imported workmen is au
thority for the statement that the road
advertised In Eastern papers for ina-
work for the
ment concerning the conditions. He
held a conference at the shop* Satur
day morning.
SKIPPED HIS CASE,
BUT IS CAPTURED

man charged with accepting $300 to put
through n pension claim when the law
limits the fee to 125, was not tried dur
