EX-KAISER BILL
THREATENED TO
KILL HIMSELF
Berlin, Nov. 20.—A story of
how former Emperor William
once threatened to commit sui
cide is revealed in a book written
by Theodore Wolff, eflitor of the
Tageblatt, dealing with Ger
many’s policy during the Chan
cellorship of Von Buelow.
Emperor William had in 1905
induced Emperor Nicholas of
Russia to sign a treaty of alli
ance which pledged Germany to
aid Russia in Europe but not in
Asia.
Von Buelow disapproved of the
treaty and orally tendered * his
resignation. Thereupon William
wrote Von Buelow a pathetic
ter, in which he said the chancel
lot’s resignation gave him such a
shock that he had collapsed and
he feared he would have a serious
nervous illness.
Says He Risked Life For Him.
In the letter the kaiser remind
ed Von Buelow that to please him
he had ridden in Tangier on a
strange horse, notwithstanding
his crippled left arm, and that
the horse had nearly killed him.
*• I rode among the Spanish an
archists,” said the letter, “be
cause you wanted me to and be
cause your policy would benefit
by it, ‘land now after I have done
all this you wish to leave me.
If you now disavow your
I
lous, which I cannot survive.
Cites Threat of Suicide.
Then comes a postscript say
ing:
The morning after the receipt
of your resignation you will not
find your Kaiser alive. Think of
my poor wife and children. it
Von Buelow, according to
Wolff, finally withdrew his resig
nation and the writer declares his
reward came three years later
when the kaiser dismissed him
with the remark, “I have chased
the scoundrel away. ff

Washington, Nov. 20.—An open

STATE BAPTISTS
Columbus, Nov, 20.—The Geor
gia Baptist convention at last
night’s session authorized a bond
issue of $500,000 for a new Geor
gia Baptist hospital building to
be located in Atlanta. The hos
pital report was submitted by
Dr. Milo H. Massey, of Ameri
cus.
Financial Distress.
s
In great financial distress more
than two years ago, the board of
trustees declared they were un
able to weather the storm and
turned the hospital over to the
executive committee.
A plan for financing and con
tinuing the operation of th# hos
pital was worked out by Dr. Arch
C. Cree, of Atlanta. The execu
tive committee adopted his plan.
At that time, there were lia
bilities of $450,000. This has
been reduced until available as
sets are in hand sufficient to li
quidate the indebtedness, the bal
ance of which is not due for two
years, it was stated.
Will Go Ahead.
Last night the executive com
mittee proposed to go ahead with
the plans for the first unit of the
enlarged hospital with a capac
ity of 250 beds.
An address on “the needs of
a new hospital building” was
made by Dr. T. C. Davison, At
lanta surgeon, for years president
of the hospital staff.
Home missions, benevolences
and the orphans’ home were oth
er topics discussed. •

apartments in the northwest sec
tion and hurled defiance at the
agent of the owners.
Joseph JLowe, who single-hand
ed attempted unsuccessfully to
placate the irate renters at their
meeting declared he had conferred
with lawyers and action would be
taken against the Tenant’s
League and probably thbse who
he said arranged the protest
gathering.
Say Outsiders Took Part.
He charged the lobby ot the
apartment was taken over by
persons from the outside as well
as tenants, adding that the ques
tion involved “every property
owner in town. ii
Meanwhile the tenants have as
serted their determination not
to pay the increases and to move
out in a body if necessary.
RECORD NUMBER OF
STOWAWAYS BROUGHT
TO GEORGIA PORT
Savannah, Nov. 20.—Wednes
day was a record day for stow
aways on vessels arriving in port.
The Robert Dollar, a 15,000 ton
vessel from the Pacific, the larg
est vessel ever to enter the Geor
gia port, horbored< 53 Chinese
stowaways.
There were 37 Chinese in the
crew.
The German steamer,- Lak
haven, from Nordenham, had 16
ii hidden passengers on board,
not discovered until Savannah
was reached, though suspicions
were aroused by the disappear
ance of almost the wl\ple supply
of drinking water before the boat
in
Stowaways on the latter vessel
were jailed by immigration offi
cers.
The Dollar commander is hold
ing his 53 Chinese for legal ac
tion, possibly at some other port.
BARBER USES MOWER
ON HEAVY WHISKERS
Manchester, Eng., Nov. 20.—
The strangest razor in the his
tory of the tonsorial art is in
possession of John Rogers, a
Manchester barber. It is a com
bination of blades made up into
the form of a miniature lawn
mower, which Rogers uses on the
faces of his more heavily whis
kered customers. He charges an
extra fee for use of the “mower.
The convention yesterday after
adopted a resolution laying
the principles that agents
and servants of the convention
and its educational institutions
must subscribe to and be govern
ed by. The recommendation of
a committtee appointed Tuesday
was adopted.
Savannah was selected as the
1925 convention city.
