USE AND ABUSE TWO CONVICTS FI8HT AIMED

Atlanta Doctor Discusses Treat jite Men at Ft. Leavenworth The Cotton Probe in New Yoik
ment For Tuberculosis. i ^Made Ftort to Escape
Athens, Qa.,-April 21.—One of tb<
features of yesterday’s session of tbo -j
Georgia Medical Association wan an
address by Dr. Louis C. Rougblln,
of Atlanta, on tbe ’’Use and Abuse
of Specific Treatment In Tuberculo-
als." Dr. Rougblln la ex-vlee presi
dent of tbo American Anti-Tuber-
lven worth, Kan., April 21.
-Two Ilf* convicts In tbe. Federal
prison escaped tbla morning and
were later joined by alx others wbo
escap'd during tbe excitement over
tbe otbs/s.
Tbe escaped prisoners are beav-
being paid for, but actually had the
very clothes he wore stolen off bis
back, coat, trousers, vest and all. If
tbere had been any loose fixtures In
tbe saloon, they would have gone
too.
Tbe miracle was performed by a
quiet, gray-bnlred old negro, such a
type as one rends about In "Uncle
Remus" snd Thomas Nelson Page.
He was armed with nothing but a
bit of worthless, greasy paper and a
confiding smile. It was his smile
that did the business. By bis very
simplicity be succeeded where tbe
cleverest New York confidence man
would,have been kicked out tbe door.
The whole story became public yeB
terday afternoon when George
Hughes, tbe negro, was balled before
Judge Andrew Calhoun, of the city
court to answer a complicated lar
ceny charge.
W. W7 McNIeh was the bartender
In oueitlon and was nresidlng at a
bar owned by his father, wbo hap
pened to be absent from the place
of business, according to the story,
when old George Hughes tottered
benevolently Into the saloon, leaning
on a gnarled cane, and doffed bis
hat respectfully to "de white folks.”
"Well, uncle, what cnn I do for
you today?" asked Mr. McNIeh, wbo
Is a nice young man.
Whereupon tbe aged negro modest
ly made known his dastrea. -Marse
Ninch," he sahl, meaning young Mr.
McNlnch’s father, had promised to
cash his pay check for that w.
Hers It was. He would be glad to lMtf
, until "Maree Nlneh” came back to
have it cashed, but would like to do
a little -trading'' ou It meanwhile.
So slmplo was the proposition and
so hoaest'dM the darkey stem, that
not a shadow of suspicion flitted
through young MoNlneh's head.
"Sure you can do a little trading
he agreed cordially, “what’ll it be?”
George reckoned It would be nigh-
beer and was accommodated with a
foaming glass. Naturally be tooknnoth
er to wash that down, and tried one
mote for good measure. Theu be recol
lected to drink tbo health of nice,
kind Mr. Bartender, which he did
copiously, while that delighted Indi
vidual leaned his elbow on the bar,
charmed to see his business so pros-
1-erous. and thinking how his father
would mbe pleased when he got home.
While McNInch' was la this kindly
mood, the cunning old ebony-colored
customer naively took occasions to ad
mire the suit of clothes the young
out alive. They saw two dead min
ers, but could not recover the bod
ies because they themselves were suf
fering.
No sign of life was anywhere seen
and It Is almost certain tbnt the men
entombed could not survive the dead
ly gas.
The cause of the mine disaster la
not yet discovered. It had been open
only two years and wan regarded an
a model mine.
