CHURCH JANITOR
HEIR T 0 RICHES
INEIROPE
Carl Zillig, Who Ran Away From
~ Home Years Ago, Returns to
Claim Fortune.
An unappraised fortune, probably
amounting to a great deal, awaits in
Germany Carl Zillig, of Atlanta, Jan
itor of the North Avenue Presbyte
rian Church. Zillig, with his little
daughter, Anna, is on his way to Ger
many, returning to the home from
which he ran away when he was 18
years old. Now he is nearing 50.
The fortune which he seeks is the
estale of his mother, who recently
died, and whose will is said to be lib
eral in its provision for her runawyay
son.,
Zillig's career has been romantic,
beginning from the day he left home
because his parents would send him
to a military school. For years he
sent no word of himself home, and
eptered upon an adventurous carzer
that varied between filibustering ané
cooking. While he was engaged =zs
chef in a Virginia home he met a
young girl whom he married. It was
Mrs. Zillig who effected a reconci'ia
tion between -her husband and his
family, and who directed a great deal
of correspondence to the family in
Germany. When her children were
born she sent their pictures and long
letters about ihem to the grandmoth
er in Germany, so that, although
neither Zillig nor his wife and chil
dren returned across the ocean, a
warm attachment was formed b -
tween the mother in Germany and
her son.
When the mother died In March,
word eame to the Atlanta janitor hat
she had remembered him in her will
and after several months he is go.ng
to claim his inheritance. The leaders
of the North Avenue Church and
Sunday school, including Dr. K. a.
Matheson and the Rev. Richard Orme
Flinn, made a purse for the trip.
Mrs, Zillig and the eldest daugh
ter, Sophie, remain in Atlanta at the
home at North avenue and Bedford
place,

titude on ‘‘psychological depression,”

any person or corporation that desires
legitimately to criticise his policies or
the work of Congress, but he contended
the systematic circulation of letters and
telegrams protesting against anti-trust
legislation is uren to criticism.
President Wilson believes that a few
interests are creating an artificial cam
paign through liberal use of the malils
and telegraph to oppose certain legisia
tion.

Georgia Governor Defends This
y '
State’s Convict System, Attack
ed by Tennessee Executive.
DALTON, June 17.—Georgia’'s
method of dealing with convicts,
which met with severe criticism at
the hands of Governor Hooper, of
Tennessee, found a warm deefnder in
Governor Jchn M. Slatom, of Geor
gia, at the good roads celebration
at Cherokee Springs
It was Gevernor Slaton’s first pub
fic utterance in answer to Gevernor
Hooper’'s attack on the Georgia sys
tem, which composed his report fol
lowing his visit to two convicet camps
of this State. The Governor prefaced
his remarks by stating that he was
not critcising anyone, but that Geor
gia was committed te a certain pol
jecy with which he was heartily in
gympathy.
. “By placing the convicts out in the
open air to work the State is doing
a most humane thing,” he said.
. The Governor did not take the view
' of many so-called reformers who be
lieve that the State is under such a
grave responsibility in caring for is
convicts.
. “Why should a State go to the ex
pense of teaching them a trade when
no such privilege is extended the poor
ihut: honest man? Must a man trans
' gress the laws and become a econvict
in order to enjoy such a privilege?”
he asked. ‘‘They break the law, put
the people to the expense of trying
them in the courts and then caring
for them after convietion, and by
building good roads, cared for hu
manely, they make the best returns 1o
the taxpayers.”
Included in Governor Slaton’s audi
ence were 100 or more Chattanooga
business men from Gevernor Hoop
er's own State.
