EMILE ZOLA,
NOVELIST,
DEAD
WRITER WAS FOUND DEAD IN
BED MONDAY MORNING AND
MME. ZOLA. BESIDE COLD
BODY. UNCONSCIOUS.
PARIS. Sept. 29—Emile Zola, the nov
elist, who was born in Paris, April Z, IMO.
died this morning.
Zola returned to hla Paris home from
kis country house at Medan, and owln<
to a sudden spell of cold weather here,
he ordered the heating stove in his bed
room to be lighted. The stove burned
badly, but Zola and his wife retired at 10
last night and the servants, not
hearing any movement in the apartment
this morning, entered the bedroom at
9:30 and found .Xfim Zola lying on the bed.
Inanimate.
Zola was lying out bed. with
his head and s on the floor and
his legs on the bed.
Doctors were summoned, but they fail
ed to restore Zola to life. After prolong
ed efforts they resuscitated Sime. Zola.
Zola dined with a good appetite yester
day evening and the servants of the
household partook of the same dishes.
Nothing unusual was heard in the bed
room during the night.
Some workmen arrived at the Zola res
idence at half-past 9 this morning in
order to make certain repairs in Zola's
bedroom, but the servants, already alarm
ed at hearing no sound from the room,
decided to enter it. and burst the door
open.
A slight odor of carbonic gas was at
once noticed and the bodies of the novel
ist and his wife were iound In the posi
tions already described. Zola evidently
had been awakened by a choking sensa
tion. tried to rise, but was overcome by
the fumes? which 'apparently escaped
from the defective stove.
The windows were immediately opened,
doctors and a commissary of police were
summoned and the utmost efforts made to
revive the novelist and his wife, but the
former had already succumbed. Mme.
Zola regained consciousness about noon
and now lies in a state of com
plete prostration. An improvement in her
condition is anxiously awaited in order
to obtain further light on the occurrence.
A druggist, who was the first to arrive
at the house in order to attend Zola and
his wife, said:
"When I entered the bedroom. M. Zola
was partly lying on the floor amid matter
thrown up from his stomach. No special
odor likely to cause asphyxiation was
then distinguishable. The two victims,
, moreover, did not present exclusive symp
toms of asphyxiation. Their faces were
contorted and their lips were bloodless,
but not violet color.”
The prefect has ordered the city archi
tect to examine the bedroom in which
Zola died and has issued instructions that
an analysts be‘made of his blood and of
the atmosphere of his room.
Zola had been resting from literary
work since he finished his book, entitled
"The Truth.”
The obituary notices pay tribute to Zo
las high literary talent. The Temps
says French letters have suffered a loss
which will be keenly felt.
The newspapers judge Zola's role in the
Dreytus affair according to political bias.
EMILE ZOLA'S DEATH “
WAS CAUSED BY GASES
PARIS. Oct. L—The autopsy on the
remains of Emil Zola has resulted in an
official declaration that be died from
, asphyxiation, caused by carbonic oxide
fumes.
A crowd of people drawn there by cu
riosity remained tn front of Zola's
house yesterday and his tragic death
continues to be the chief topic of conver
sation here. The funeral has been fixed
for Monday, and Interest is shown in the
Question whether Dreyfus will attend.
The Patrie says:.
"If he dares to Show himself in the pro
cession. the looks of contempt of all the
spectators will be concentrated on him.
If he hides himself in this decisive hour,
he will show himself to be his own judge
/ of the work of his benefactor.”
The post mortem examination of Zola’s
remains yesterday resulted in addi
tion to the official report that his death
was due to asphyxiation, caused by car
atonic oxide fumes, in showing the novel
»lst fell into a densely saturated atmos
phere as he attempted to open a window
and was suffocated.
Mme. Zola, it was further declared,
owed her life to the elevated position of
the bed.
A medical bulletin Issued yesterday said:
• gays:
“Mme. Zola is progressing as satisfac
torily as possible in spite of the terrible
shock caused by the news of her hus
band's death. Complete rest and isolation
are indispensfbie. She had a heart rend
ing fit of anguish when told of her hus
band's death, which was communicated
to her thia morning. This was followed
by a state of torpor. She is now calm,
but unable to utter a word or make a ges
ture.

I Will Cure You of
Rheumatism
Else No Money Is WanieJ.
After 2.G00 experiments. I have learned
how to cure Rheumatism. Not to turn
bony joints into flesh again: that is impos
sible. But I can cure the disease always,
St kny stage, and forever.
I ask for no money. Simply write me a
•postal and I will send you an order on
•your nearest druggist for six bottles Dr.
' Shoop's Rheumatic Cu*. for every drug
gist keeps It. Use it for a month and. if it
succeeds, the cost is only 35.50. If It fails,
1 will pay your druggist myself.
I have no samples, because any medicine
that can affect Rheumatism quickly must
be drugged to the verge of danger. I use
no such drugs, and it is folly to take
them. You must get the disease put of
the blood.
My remedy does that, even In the most
difficult, obstinate cases. No matter how
Impossible this seems to you. I know
it and I take the risk. I have
cured tens of thousands of cases in this
.way, and my records show that 39 out
of 40 who get those six bottles pay gladly.
I have learned that people in general are
honest with a physician who cures them.
That is al! I ask. If I fall I don't expect
a penny from you.
Simply write me a postal card or letter.
J will send you my book about Rheuma
tism. am! an order for the medicine. Take
it for a month, as it won't harm you any
way. If it fails, it is free, and I leave
the decision with you. Address Dr. Shoop.
Box 544, Racine. Wis.
Mild cases, not chronic, are often cured
by one or two bottles. At al! druggists.
GHOULS MB
SCORES OF
GRAVES
HNUDRED CORPSES DISINTER
RED BY HUMAN FIENDS IN
THE CEMETERIES OF INDIAN
APOLIS.
INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 29.—The whole
rale robbery of graves In the cemeteries
about Indianapolis was brought to a close
early this morning by the arrest of a gang
of seven negroes.
Warrants also were Issued today for a
prominent physician, the demonstrator of
anatomy In a local medical college, where
two stolen bodies were found ten days
ago: Dr. Wilson, an Interne in the college,
and George Haymaker, the white janitor
of the college.
Rufus Cantrell, one of the negroes, made
a complete confession and implicated the
others He said Dr. Alexander accompa
nied the negroes on several of the grave
robbing expeditions.
Unward of one hundred graves, it is
said, have been robbed during the last
three months.
The detectives say the negroes were
armed with shot guns and equipped with
horses and wagons with krhich to do the
work. The bodies were sold to different
colleges which opened their winter terms
within the last week. The revelations
made, the detectives say, are not only as
tounding. but horrifying. They say that
a complete Investigation probably will
show that even the graves in Crown Hill
were desecrated by the ghouls.
Cantrell said that he and the other ne
groes visited Mount Jackson cemetery
almost ever}’ time any one was buried in
the place.
“We pretty near cleaned that place
out.” he said. “I do not believe we missed
any body that has been planted there
since July.”
Cantrell said there were some graves
that were not disturbed, because the flow
ers and other articles on top were ar
ranged in such a manner that the gang did
not feel confident of restoring the graves
to their former appearance.
When the negroes were brought into
court all weakened and confessed that
they were members of an organised band
of ghouls.
“Rufus” was the pass word at the med
ical college and when it was uttered by
the returning ghouls, the doors of the
college would always be opened without
questioning.
The statement that Crown Hill, one of
the best guarded cemeteries in the United
States, probably has been invaded by the
grave robbers, has caused indignation.
One of the ghouls said it usually took
about twenty minutes to rob a grave. The
law in Indiana is very strict! and provides
for effective punishment of ghouls by long
imprisonment.
The negroes under arrest are: Walter
Daniels. Sol Grady, Sam Martin, Garfield
Buckner, William Jones, Rufus Cantrell
and Isaac Donnell. All live in Indianap
olis.

FOR SUFFERERS
OF MUELEE
IMPROPER DISTRIBUTION OF
FOOD AND CLOTHING ON ST.
VINCENT ISLAND THE
CAUSE OF DISTRESS.
KINGSTOWN. St. Vincent. Sept. 30
Widespread dissatisfaction prevails here
in connection with the relief work on the
island.
A portion of the food, clothing and other
supplies contributed by the United States
government for the assistance of suffer
ers from the eruptions has been sold un
der its value by the local government to
merchants abroad, the distribution of ra
tions has stopped and a state of semi
starvation prevails among some of the
sufferers.
An Inadequate pittance of 25 cents week
ly per adult is given to some of the peo
ple and some huts have been erected for
the homeless, but they only measure eight
feet by eight.
Owing to the destruction of many of
the estates many of the laborers are out
of employment and the government of
ficials have been dilatory in alloting lands
for them to cultivate.
The bulk of sufferers whose properties
have been devastated are reduced to a
state of poverty and have not yet been
relieved. They are experiencing great pri
vation. while over 9200.000 of the relief
fund is still at the disposal of the govern
ment.
Representations on the ground of mal
administration of the relief funds, etc.,
have been made to the colonial secretary,
Mrs. Chamberlain, who has commission
ed A. M. Ashmore, the government secre
tary at Demorara, to proceed to St. Vin
cent in connection with the relief work.
THE ICY BLAST OF ARCTIC
CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—Commander
Robert F. Peary, the artic explorer, who
has arrived here from the north on his
way to Washington, where he will re
port to the navy department for duty,
says it is his belief that the Arctic region
is one of the best places on earth for
persons afflicted with pulmonary diseases.
In proof of the health giving conditions
there he said that nearly everybody who
went up there came back weighing more
and in a much better state of health gen
erally. He did not bring any Eskimos
south for the reason that those he
brought several years ago experienced a
hard time, many of them having suc
cumbed to pulmonary diseases.
CZAR DECLARES REGRET

taired with the imperial government
throughout his mission.
General regret is also expressed in court
circles and in society.

CONDEMNED TO DIE
A HEARTBROKEN MOTHER HEARS
HER DAUGHTER’S DOOM.
Tragedy in a Pennsylvania Town Hap
pily Averted—The Mother's Story
Now Published for the First
Time.
Life's prospects should be brightest for
the American girl at fifteen. She feels the
charm of the budding graces of woman
hood and the world daily presents new at
tractions as the awkward days of her girl
hood are left behind. Can anything be
more tragic than a girl at this age con
fined to a bed of suffering with no hope
for the future but that death may end her
sufferings? All too often the bent and
heartbroken mother hears from the doc
tor’s lips the sentence that the child upon
whom she has lavished years of tender
care cannot live to 'brighten her life. Mrs.
Ellen Lloyd, of No. 300 Academy street.
Plymouth, Pa., is a mother who has heard
these fateful words but in whose case the
threatened tragedy was averted. To a
reporter recently she said:
"That my daughter Lavlnla is alive and
well today is due entirely to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, When she was in her sixth
year she had a severe attack of scarlet
fever which left her in a dreadful state of
health. She was thin and pallid and was
tortured with violent headaches and back
aches. It almost broke my heart to see
her suffer so.
“She would He on the bed with no
strength or amb.-.on to move or even
speak. She could not eat a thing. Her
bowels used to swell up and the back of
her head would get so hot that I thought
her brain would be affected.
“Two of our best doctors treated her
but both said she would never be cured:
that she would either die of Bright's dis
ease or her trouble would turn into quick
consumption.
“She had been suffering this way for
about eight years and constantly growing
worse when, upon the recommendation
of a friend, I had her stop all other medi
cines and take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People. These pills saved her
life. She began to improve with the. tak
ing of the first box and in a short time
she has never been in bed from sickness,
nor has she lost a day's work.”
Results fully as wonderful as the above
have been accomplished time and time
again by the marvelous agency of Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. They
have been proven to be an unfailing spe
cific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciat
ica. neuralgia, rheumatism, after-affects
of the grip, nervous headache, palpitation
of the heart, pale and sallow complexions
and all forms of weakness either in male
or female. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People are sold by all dealers or will
be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty
cents a box or six boxes for two dollars
and a half (they are never sold in bulk or
by the hundred) by addressing Dr. Wil
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
Avoid imitations; substitutes never cured
anybody.
Mrs. J. M. Smith Dies.
BARNESVILLE, Ga., Oct. 1.-Mrs. J.
M. Smith died last night after an illness
of some days with brain trouble. She
leaves a husband and several children,
including a little baby about six weeks
old. She was a noble Christian woman and
her death causes genuine sorrow. She
was the wife of Colonel J. M. Smith.
STEVENS MAKES J
BIG ffIYMENT TO
THESTATE
$30,000 FROM INSPECTION OF
FERTILIZERS WAS PAID INTO
THE TREASURY DEPART
MENT YESTERDAY.
Thirty thousand dollars were paid into
the state treasury Monday by the de
partment of agriculture. The money w’as
derived from the inspection of fertilizers.
Another payment of tll.fOO will be made
by the department in a few days. This
money will be derived from the inspection
of oils.
Altogether the department of agricul
ture will pay into the treasury about $41,-
000 this year, clear of all expenses. Instead
of being an expense to the state as was
tne case several years ago, tne agricul
tural department is now a source of reve
nue. Commissioner Stevens has gradually
put the department on a paying basis, and
the $41,000 which is to go into the treasury
this year will go to the credit of the school
fund.
OVER iFMACEDONIA
MORE REVOLTS REPORTED
CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—" There have been
other revolts in Macedonia and a good
many attempts at uprising against the
Turkish government, but efforts now be
ing planned will arouse Europe." said
Theod'jre Christoff, of Kanzanllk, Bulga
ria. last night.
“The uprising was being planned when
I left my country in the early summer,
and it has been truly said that the condi
tions in Macedonia and in some of the
other Turkish territories are such as to
arouse the Russians to assist the Macedo
nians in any effort to free themselves
from the Turkish yoke. The sultan has
repeatedly promised the Macedonians that
they shall have automony and a self- gov
ernment, acknowledging, of course, his
sovereignty and right to levy taxes, but
he has never done even that.”
Mr. Christoff, who is making a tour of
the United States, is prominent in Bul
garia. His father is mayor of Kanzanllk
and chairman of the committee having in
charge the big political and religious dem
onstration to be made at Shipka when
the great St. Nicholas monastery in th©
Balkan mountains is dedicated, October 24.
simultaneously with the celebration of the
emancipation of Bulgaria from Turkey.
DEATH STALKS ABROAD
IN ISLAND OF SAMAR
MANILA. Sept. 30.—Cholera threatens
to depopulate the island of Samar.
The population of many of the towns
has been heavily reduced through death
and the flight of panic stricken people.
Many of the dead are unburled and the
government is sending surgeons and med
icine to fight the disease. The epidemic
also continues its ravages at Iloilo.
It is reported that the totals for the is
lands are ”0.222 cases and 48.402 deaths.
But the actual total of cases is estimated
to be about 100,000, with deaths in propor
tion.
CHOLERA STILL CLAIMS
THOUSANDS EACH WEEK
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—Cholera statistics
from Egypt for the week just ended were 4,421
fresh cases and 3,902 deaths, says a I.ondon dis
patch to the Times.
Sir H. Pinching arthorizes the statement that
he considers that the ei>fdemlc Is rapidly de
clining and ho expects that It will have entire
ly ceased by the end of October in epidemic
form. The large town! have been kept won
derfully free from the epidemic.
IMPORTANT
MATTERS
TO FACE
CODING SESSION WILL DEAL
WITH MANY INTRICATE PROB
LEMS OF LEGISLATION-NEW
CONVICT LAWS MUST BE HAD
Only a few days remain before the be
ginning of the annual session of the
Georgia legislature. The legislators will
assemble in Atlanta on October 22, for a
meeting of fifty days. Many questions of
great importance will be brought' before
the house and senate this year and the
coming session promises to be an unus
ually interesting one.
Perhaps the most important matter that
will be brought to the attention of the
general assembly will be the convict
question. The lease on the Georgia con
victs expires in April, 1904, but it remains
for the coming assembly to deal with
the matter in order to allow the prison
commission to make the necessary ar
rangements for the -disposition of the
convicts whatever the action of the leg
islature may be.
Time and time again it has been sug
gested that the convicts be worked on the
roads of the state, but this plan is not
believed to be a practical one by the
members of the prison commission who
now have charge of the convict system
of the state, and it is understood that
in its annual report the commission will
recommend to the legislature the adop
tion of the present system with the ex
ception es the laws now governing the
misdemeanor camps of the state. The
prison commission desires to have abso
lute control of all the misdemeanor
camps and with that control and a few
minor changes in the law as tt now
stands, the commission will no doubt be
satisfied.
The convict department is a source of
profit to the state at ‘present. Besides
paying all the expenses of the commis
sion, a large sum of money is each year
paid into the treasury and placed to the
credit of the school fund. Since the es
tablishment of the state farm the prison
commissioners have reaped enormous
profits for the state. The farm was pur
chased so that all women and children
and decrepit men could have a place to
work. The lessees of the convicts want
only ablebodled men.
The present system is said by many to
be well nigh perfect and that the prison
commission could make no better recom
mendation to the legislature than, that
the present system be adopted again.
The Depot Question.
The depot question may spring up
again in the legislature. It is a well
known fact that the depot commission
failed in its mission about getting a new
depot, as the railroads absolutely refused
to use a union station on the site of
the state’s property, claiming that the
space was not sufficient for a depot for
a city .the size of Atlanta. The depot
commission will meet in a few days to
formulate its report and it is said that
the report will recommend that another
depot bill be passed which will authorize
the commission to proceed with the build
ing of a depot, regardless of the railroads.
The bill which was passed last year con
tained a provision that a depot shou.u
be built, provided the railroads would
agree to enter the said station. That
provision in the opinion of Governor
Candler killed the bill. The governor
thinks that if the commission had been
authorized to build a depot the railroads
would have used it without any trouble.
The governor says now that no report
has been formulated as yet but that he
has discussed the matter with several
members of the committee.
State Reform School.
Governor Candler is going to recom
mend in his report the establishment of
a reform school in Georgia for <oung
criminals and boys and girls who are
not exactly criminals but who are in
need of,reform. The governor considers
this a very important thing for the state
and says that he proposes to tell the
legislators that they should, without any
hesitancy, create such an instltuion in
Georgia.
Many of the states have these schools
says the governor, and they have accom
plished a great deal of good. The state
of Florida established such an institu
tion a few years ago and it has been a big
success. The establishment of such an
institution in Georgia would not cost any
great sum of mohey, and it could easily
be kept up for the sum of $15,000 a year,
say the advocates of the measures.
Circuit Court of Appeals. *
The lawyers of Georgia are going to
ask the legislature to pass an amend
ment to the constitution of the state cre
ating a circuit court of appeals for the
relief of the supreme court. The Georgia
Bar association appointed a committee at
its recent meeting to prepare a bill which
is to be submitted to the legislators and
at the coming session the bill will be
presented. The bill provides that there
shall be five justices of the court to
whom all cases, except criminal cases,
divorce cases, and cases Involving the
title of land and cases under $2,000 In
value must be appealed before being car
ried to the supreme court. Nearly every
lawyer in the state Is in favor of the
measure and a lengthy and clear argu
ment will be submitted to the legislators
in favor of the bill. It is estimated that
the new court can be created and run
for $20,000 per year, and that in paying
for the court the people would not no
tice an increase of one cent in their
taxes. It is also urged that it would save
time for the people and the county of
ficials, and that the court would pay for
Itself in a few years time.
The legislature will first have to pass
on this measure, and if it passes the
house and the senate, as it involves a
constitutional amendment it will have to
be voted on by the people at the next
general election.
Child Labor Bill Again.
Although defeated in the legislatures
for several years past a bill preventing
child labor will be introduced in the house
again this year. The advocates of the
bill are very much in earnest and It is be
lieved now that they will succeed in get
ting such a measure through. L. J. Kil
burn, of Bibb, is one of the most earnest
supporters of the child labor bill, and
since the adjournment of the last legis
lature he has been busily at work in in
terest of the bill. It will be among the
first new measures that will be put in
the house.
Uniformity In Text Books.
State uniformity in text books will also
be urged at the coming session. The b»a
was defeated last year, and sentiment in
favor of such a measure has grown so
strong that it was made one of the issues
in the recent race for state school com
missioner. W. B. Merritt, who was elec
ted school commissioner has never said
that he was in favor of the measure. The
present school commissioner, G. R. Glenn,
is bitterly opposed to state uniformity,
contending that It is the worst thing that
could happen in Georgia for education.
There are many men in the legislature,
however, who think such a bill should be
passe . making all the books in the state
uniform, so that the parents of the chil
dren who attend the common schools will
not be required to purchase new books
every year. In his final report which is

has a lengthy argument against state uni
formity in text books, and knowing that
such a bill is to be introduced at the next
session of the legislature ne has mailed
advance copies of his argument against
the measure to every member of the house
and senate.
New Banking Laws.
There are many people who favor a new
system cf state bank examination in Geor
gia. and P. M. aawes, of Elbert county, a
prominent banker of Elberton, will intro
duce a bill creating a state department of
state bank examining. At present the
state bank examlniner s the state treas
urer. It is the idea of Mr. Hawes to take
the matter out of the hands of the treas
ury department and put it in a separate
department, revise the laws regulating
banks and state depositories and change
things around generally. Mr. Hawes is
of the opinion that such a law would be
a good thing for the state.
Four Year Terms.
It is also very likely that another effort
will be made to have the terms of all
the state house officers and county offi
cers changed from two years to four
years. This would also require a con
stitutional amendment but it is the opin
ion of many that the people would glad
ly welcome such a change, as it would
do away with the biennial elections both
in the county and state, which always de
tracts the attention of people from busi
ness. The convention of ordinaries, so
licitor generals and chiefs of police and
clerks of superior courts which was held
in Atlanta in July declared in favor of
such a law. Ordinaries are elected for
terms of four years but all state house
officers and sheriffs, clerks, tax receivers
and tax collectors are named for only
two years. The four year term would
also save the state considerable expense
for elections every two years, so the sup
porters of the measure say.
Altogether the coming session promises
to be a lively one and besides the bills
mentioned there will be many others
equally as important.

CARNEGIE’S BOOKKEEPER
IS COMMITTED FOR TRIAL
LONDON. Sept. 30.—The hearing in the
case of L. H. Greig, a bookkeeper in the
London offices of the Carnegie Steel com
pany, charged with forging checks, was
resumed yesterday. Counsel for prosecu
tion stated that Greig had abstracted
checks aggregating ' $81,205 from corre
spondence of the Carnegie Steel company,
Including a check from the Russian gov
ernment to the Carnegies and had cashed
them by means of forged endorsements.
Counsel also said that under the name of
L. H. Rockliffe, Greig had made the ac
quaintance of the courts in 1897.
Col. Hunsicker was then called and tes
tified to the forgeries of the endorsement
on several checks, but regarding the
check for $51,110 he said he was not en
tirely sure whether the endorsement was
a forgery.
The examination of the books thus far
show defalcations amounting to over $150,-
COO.
Greig was committed for trial on the
charges of forgery, falsification of ac
counts and larceny.

U1& Kind You H.3W Always Bought
The Free Excursion Trains.
I have received numerous letters within
the past ten days from Georgia delegates
who expect to attend the session of the
Farmers National Congress at Macon
next week, making Inquiry as to whether
or not they would be permitted to go
on the free excursion to Florida and
to Savannah. These trains and trips have
been voluntarily tendered by the roads
giving the excursions since the session
of the congress was secured for Macon.
The officials of the congress had nothing
to do with getting up these excursions,
beyond accepting the Invitations tender
-1 ed by the railroads on behalf of the dele
gates. The prime object of the railroads
is to take these incoming visitors Into
Georgia over their lines for the purpose
' of presenting to them a bird’s eye view
,of the resources of our state. As many
■ cars as can be handled by an engine
will be made up for each train. The
! excursion to Florida and return will be
taken first, the train leaving Macon at
9 o’clock Saturday morning, October Hth.
Upon the return of this excursion, over
the line of the G. S. and F„ a train will
be made up on the M., D. and 3. railroad
to take the delegates to Savannah and
return, leaving Macon Monday morn
ing. October 13th. The visiting delegates,
or all who care to go, will be first pro
vided for. and the space that is left In the
cars can be occupied by those of the local
delegation who can go. There will be
no attempt made at unjust discrimina
tion against the Georgia farmers in hand
ling these excursions, beyond extending
passage first to our visitors from distant
states. As a matter of fact it would
be Impossible for any one train to carry
the entire number of people who will
attend the congress. A large number for
various reasons cannot go, and It is hoped
that ample room may be provided for all
who can go. The trips will be highly en
joyable. I furnish the last list of asso
ciated delegates who I have appointed
within the last ten days, which added
to the number already commissioned by
the governor will run our Georgia dele
gation to more than 1,000. The names
and addresses appear below.

CAUGHT IN FAR EAST
ST. LOUIS, oct. 1.-A special to The
Post-Dispatch from South McAlester, I.
T., says that Emile Hartman, a former
member of the house of delegates, who
has been a fugitive from justice since
September Bth, was arrested last night by
a deputy marshal at the residence of his
brother-in-law in that city.
The dispatch says Hartmann admits
his identity. The prisoner is one of the six
fugitives who were indicted for bribery,
on the confession of John K. Murrell, an-'
other former councilman, under indict
ment who recently came back from Mex*
ico, whither he had fled.
A reward of s3vo was offered by the state
for the arrest of Hartmann.
He is charged with bribery in the subur
ban bill and the lighting bill affairs, and
with perjury by reason of his testimony
before the grand jury last spring.
When a deputy sheriff went to Hart
mann's home September Sth, to arrest
him, his wife reported that he was not at
home and she did not know his where
abouts. Since that all trace of him has
been lost. He will be brought to St. Louis
at once.
