The Atlanta Georgian. vol. 1. NO. 212. Warrant Is Sworn Out For Another Man. EXPECT ARREST AT ANY TIME Xew Suspect Is Under Ar rest in Another City It Is Said. What may prove to be aensatlonal development® In the strange mystery of Bailiff Dodgen's death are expected by the time the, hearing is held Monday to determine whether or not the pris oner.* now held In the Tower In con nectlon with the crime shall be re leased on bond. One of these developments may be In the form of another arrest. It is known that a warrant for another man has been sworn out. and that this war rant Is now In the hands of officers. It Is fully expected by witnesses dis covered by The Georgian and by the father of the murdered bailiff that the arrest of this missing man will throw some light on the mysterious crime which caused the death of young Dod gen. Reporters for The Georgian have found a thoroughly reliable witness who declares that this missing man for whom the warrant was sworn out Saturday was In Mrs. Willie Stamper's house on the night that death was deult to Dod gen. There Is also grounds for suspecting that Mrs. Stamper’s statement to a friend of the dead bailiff that she did not fire the fatal shot rpay be only plan to throw suspicion away from the mlsilng man for whom the warrant Is out. U is known where this man Is. and officers will probably leave Saturday to get him. Even If It Is shown he did not handle the death-dealing gun, it Is quite probable thnt he can throw some light on the dark affair. ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1906 PttTfTTC.

O PCOOOOOOOOOOOOCHKKIOOOOOOOO SMALL NEGRO GIRL SHOT OH NEGRO BQV Prohibition Election IsNowInevitableand Will Surely Carry —MAYOR JAMES G. WOODWARD “We-nnrfcoing-tB'imve n prohibition election, and 1 firmly believe it is going to carry.” This statement wns made by Mayor Woodward Saturday morning to a representative of The Georgian. “The prohibition crowd is determined to bring on this elec tion. regardless of whether council overrides my veto. The coun cil and the newspapers have so agitated the question that the election is inevitable. “When the vote is counted, I believe it will be found that the prohibition crowd has won out, and we will be in for two years of no saloons. “As far as my veto is concerned, this really will have nothing to do with it. I am satisfied that if council overrides the veto, the small dealers who will be crowded out will precipitate the election, if nobody else will.” VETO MESSAGE! Major Woodward is busy preparing his veto message to coun cil, which will give in detail his reasons for not approving the or dinance regulating the saloons and raising the whisky licenses. Ilis message will be along the same lines followed in the in terviews he has given out, explaining the veto. lie will plead that no changes be made in the ordinance adopted 19 years ago, thereby opposing every single provision in the ordinance recent ly passed by council. lie is not in favor of the $2,000 license, or a compromise li cense of $1,500, or of limiting the number of saloons to popula tion. lie wants absolutely no changes, and will argue that Atlanta now is the best governed city, as regards whisky, in the country. WHISKY MONOPOLY. The mayor’s main argument will be that the adoption of the ordinance will create a whisky monopoly, to which n prohibition election, he says, is infinitely to be preferred. “The small denier,” Mayor Woodward said Saturday morn ing, “must be protected. He cannot afford to pay such an exorbi tant and prohibitive license as $2,000. The ordinance will place the whole whisky business in the hands of a few rich dealers in the center of the city. It is class legislation.” Mayor Woodward will probably embody in his message his views iii regard to a prohibition election, in which ease he will say that the prohibition crowd is going to have the election if the veto is sustained, and the prohibitionists and the small dealers will have the election if the veto is overridden.

Briand Declared in Paris That Liberty Is Enemy of Church. Pretty Carrie Moninger, 1? Years Old, Slain Accidentally by Twelve-Year-Old Brother. DID CARRIE MONINGER FEEL PEA IH WAS NEAR A remarkable coincidence in connection with the tragic death of pretty 15-year-old Carrie Monlger Is the fact that on two recent occas ions she had referred to probable death und had expressed an earnest desire to live. On Christinas the girl was presented with a handsome watch and chuln by a friend of the family In Alabama and she had since been highly elated over the gift. After receiving the watch and chain and as she fondly handled them, the girl, buoyant and smiling, remarked to her mother: “Oh, mamma, I wouldn't want to die now. I wnnt to live a long time und enjoy this pretty present." It was only Friday night, while at the home of a neighbor, that the girl, In tnlklng of her watch, said: "If I Should die, 1 would wnnt mamma to get my watch and chain." in less than twenty-four hours the girl was a corpse.

The shooting Is believed to have been accidental, the little boy declaring he had no Intention whatever of harming his sister. The tragedy occurred In the kitchen of the Moninger cottage while the girl was engaged In sweeping. She had Just remonstrated with her brother ubout bringing mud Into the house, nft- er she had cleaned It, and, raising the broom, told him to go out In the yard to play with Ills gun. At this the little boy pointed the rifle at IiIm winter and evrlftlmeri: "Look out.

With a piercing scream, the boy threw the Run aside nnd cried out: "Oh, I’ve shot sister.

The boy then ran around to the home of a play-mate In Ivy street and remained there for some time, flnully returning to his home about 11:30. Mrs. Moninger, the mother, was on the back (torch placing Ice in a chest at the time of the shooting and was an eye-witness to the terrible tragedy. Shortly afterwards, as she wept hys terically and moaned piteously for the deud girl, the grlef-strlcken mother de clared to everyone she was satisfied the tragedy was an accident; that little John had no Idea of discharging the rifle.
