NEW YORK. Oct. 9- “It looks to me as If the -solid south’ would be solidly prohibition Within the next five years.” said Gov. M. F. Ansell, of South Carolina, nt the Waldorf-Astoria tonight, "and then what will happen when the governor of North Carolina pays a visit to the govern or of South Carolina? "Prohibition is. making tremendous strides all through the south and in my own state. |he cases where a thirsty man can get a drink are few and far be tween. Os 42 counties in the state of South Carolina 21 were prohibition prior to August last. "Fifteen additional counties went dry at the elections held in that month and after November 15 next, it will be possi ble to get a drink in only six counties of the state. Charleston and Columbia, the two principal cities of the state and the latter the capital, are still wet. "But there la no doubt that the prohi bition movement has come to stay. It is • potent force which all political parties have to recognize. It Is making steady progress throughout the south." Governor Ansell was only one of a number of governors of states and other distinguished men at the Waldorf-Astoria to attend the annual meeting of the trus tees of the George Peabody educational fund. These trustees number 15, all of whom with one exception attended the meeting. During the roll-call there was no re sponse when the name of Theodore Roose velt was called and the attendants promptly ‘went through the corridor of the hotel calling for “Mr. Roosevelt; Mr. T. Rooeevelt "’ BURNEtTwIFE’S BONNET: KICKED STOVE DOWN? Judge Fills is engaged Friday morning tn bearing the J. W. Pounds divorce case, tn which Mrs. Pounds brought suit against her husband on the ground of drunken ness and cruelty, asking alimony and the custody of her child. The husband filed a counter-petition alleging that his wife drank more liquor than he did. Testimony was introduced Friday to show that on one occasion Pounds re | turned home and found his wife, wearing r a sun-bonnet. kneeling on the kitchen floor, engaged on some menial labor, and that he became angry, snatched the bon net off her bead and threw It In the stove, afterward kicking over the stove. "But if he didn’t like to see me doing that kind of work, why didn't he give me money enough to employ a servant?" sug gested Mrs Pounds, who further averred that her husband never gave her much more than *2.50 per week for all the household expenses. COUNTESS KILLED BY INFATUATED CLERK BERLIN. Oct. 9.—A murderous attack tn Berlin last night upon a woman well known to the night nfe of the capital, followed by the suicide of her assailant, came to light today, when the Countess Augusta Von Strachwitz died in a hospi tal. The woman was shot and stabbed by Alfred Friedlander, a clerk. 23 years old. who was infatuated with her. After wounding tha countess the clerk commit ted suicide. Countess Augusta Von Strachwitz was the daughter of a small farmer. After being divorced twice she married Count Guenther Von Strachwitz and paid him a sum of money on the condition that they separate at the registry office.

Naw* Address City State 4 BURNED TO DEATH Early Morning Fire Destroys the Building and Burns Members of Family to Death Before Aid Can Arrive. I NASHVILLE. Tenn., Oct. B.—Fire at 1:45 o'clock this morning in a brick building at Nos. 721-728 Jeff- rson street, wiped out a whole family of four persons, two of whom were so badly burned mat their | features were scarcely recognizable. ' W. H. Mustalne. assistant city ticket agent of the Louisville and Nashville, who occupied the sec ond floor of No. 723. together with his wife and two children, were taken out of the burning building by neighbors, who came to the rescue with a step ladder. LIST OF THE DEAD. The dead: MRS. DORA FISHMAN, his wife, aged 24. burned to death. MISS ROSIE FISHMAN, aged 14 years, died from suffocation. MISS RACHAEL MARKESON. aged 16 years, died from suffocation. MRS. ROSIE A. FISHMAN, aged about 50 years, burned to death. Moses Fishman was taken to the hospi ; tai suffering suffocation and serious ! burns. I There is a bare possibility that he will recover. NEGROES ARRESTED. Jim Butler and George Harrison, two negroes, who have been seen about the building and who are known to have had trouble with J. A. Thuss, a grocer, whe ' occupied the ground floor, are under ar rest at the police station on suspicion of ' knowing something of the origin of th a i fire. * So great a headway had the conflagra tion gained, when it was discovered and so great was the excitement caused oy the horrified screams of women and ter rified appeals for help of those in dan ger, that no organized attempt at res cue was made for some minutes after the • four fire companies had arrived on the . scene. J It was only after some one had secured a long step 'adder, which tvas mounted by Frank Fetzer. after being placed against the front wall of the Mustalne | apartment that it was known that the members of the Fishman family were still .in the burnlne building. EFFORTS IN VAIN . Desperate efforts ter enter their apart ment were frustrated by the flames burst ing from the windows. The entire family, numbering four, were burned or suffocated to death, and with I them perished Miss Rachael Markeson, who lived in the same apartment. Two of the victims in this apartment were burned so that their features were hardly recognizable. The Development of the Telephone The telephone is not so old. There are among us yet those who remember how they viewed with awe the little box-like instrument that was exhibited at the Cen tennial Exposition of 1876. Crude and imperfect though it was. it actually transmitted the human voice, something that had been attempted with out success many times before. St that I time but few realized its value or fully believed the statements made about it. Today everyone recognizes the true worth of the telephone. Without It business would be paralyzed, the comfort and safe ty of our homes would be imperiled and the general stability of the country af fected. The present perfection of the telephone is due mainly to the efforts of th. Wet-,- ern Electric Cmpany, of New York, Chi cago and other large cities. This com pany took the undeveloped invention o! Alexander Graham Bel! shortly after the Exposition, and during these thirty-three years has been constantly delving into the theory of the telephone, and at the same time perfecting machinery for the I manufacture and testing of every piece of material going into its construction. Not only does the Western Electric Company make telephones for city use. but it also manufactures telephones and supplies for rural telephone systems whether the system consists of only four or five subscribers or is one that supplies service to a village of several hundred or more Inhabitants. It has for distribution free booklets | that tell all about a rural telephone sys tem, the exact cost, how to organize one, how to build one; everything, in fact, that you need to know. It also offers the free services of its telephone experts to anyone who is interested in rural tele phones.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1909. UH ROUGHS IT INjMB Clothes Were Wet With Perspir ation, None Were Found Large Enough to Replace Them—Has Fine Time. ■■ • ■ YOSEMITE. Cal., Oct. 9.—Hot, tired, perspiring, but declaring that “this is the best that we have seen since we started the trip,” President Taft reached the Sen tinel hotel, on the floor of Yosemite val ley, at 11:45 o’clock this morning. The four-mile walk down a descent of 3,900 feet, was made in exactly three hours, the hotel at Glacier Point having been left behind at 8:30 this morning. Coaches met the party at the foot of the trail and carried them aver the 15-minute ride to the Sentinel, where a squad of Indians, regular cavalrymen, cowboys and moun taineers gave the president.a rousing wel come to the valley and then shook hand.- all around before retiring to his room for a rest. When the president finally reached Yos emite he was so bathed in perspiration that he had scarcely a dry stitch of clothing on him. NO CLOTHES LARGE ENOUGH. What was worse, the clothing at hand was too small for the president to wear. As many another has done in like circum stances. the president simply took off :his wet clothing and went to bed, trust ing to his valet to have the clothing dried for him by the time he wanted it again. Fortunately there was no local committee waiting to see him. so he was able to rest quietly in bed. in the Boke cottage, while the presidential habiliments were drying. An hour passed and Mr. Taft was on the • point of rising from bed and re-donning his half-wet clothing when the baggage wagon, which had been sent down by the wagon road, lumbered in and the situa tion was saved. It was the culminating accident in the four days of roughing ft in the mountains during which Mr. Taft had what Roose velt would have described as q "bullv time”—eating outdoors, retiring by candle tight to a hard cot bed. bathing in a spring and climbing up and down the mountains, joshing the natives and living off the country—that is to say, on the products of the section—eggs; ham. chick en. com bread, cold milk and fruits, with all the frills of civilization tabooed. Aft er luncheon the president again boarded a stage coach and had a drive around the floor of the valley before departing for Fl Portel, where he boarded the car May flower. in which he is spending the night, preparatory to departing early tomorrow for Merced and Fresno, in each of which pleaces he is billed for brief addresses. I He will arrive tn Los Angeles on Monday morning. Members of the California delegation I to congress who have been accompany- I Ing him through the Yosemite having been urging the president to make a | trip to the Philippines in 1911. Mr Taft has no deeper interests than those of the Philippines and he has listened to the suggestions of a trip to the is lands wdth some enthusiasm. MAY GO TO PHILIPPINES. It has been pointed out to the presi dent that he could make a trip to the Philippines well inside of three months, by taking a fast cruiser and that he would actually be away from Washing ton but a little longer than on his jour ney through the west. If the president should decide to go it would be his idea to have a large congressional delegation precede so that they might go over the Island with him. The president is extremely anxious to return there for a visit. With a contemplated visit to Alaska next year and a stop at Honolulu on the way home, followed by the voyage to th Philippines in 1911 and an occas | mnal visit to Panama, President Tart j would easily set a new mark for presi | dential travel. Novel Entertainment Planned for Visit of Taft MACON, Ga., Oct. 9.—Tnough plans of a general nature have been made for the reception of President Taft when he comes to Macon on November 4, there are some details yet to be com plete 1 and two committees win work , them out. These are the entertainment I committees of the Macon Fair asso ciation and the Macon chamber of com , meres. Mr. W. E. Dunwoody heads the former, and Mr. James W. Callaway the latter. It is the Intention of the two com mittees to prepare some new and novel teature for the morning’s program but what it will be they have not yet stated. Botn men are more than anx ous to do something to make the president remember his stay in Macon and for this reason special pains are being taken. If President Taft had so arranged his trtp that he could have spent the entire day in the city a' reception would have been planned for the coun try club in his honor and he would I have been invited to a game of ancient and honorable gotf. as it is he will . be given a souvenir of the club in the [ form of a driver that is now being fashioned by Mr. Wilbur Oakes, the professional in charge of the Log Cabin links. BOULDER BLOCKED ROAD. Half a mile up the pass, across the i road, where the president’s stage coach j passed this afternoon, a 40-ton boulder • crashed down last night, blocking up the ; road for several hours. I ' A gang of men was put to work imme diately and the road was cleared by the time the president’s party returned here this afternoon. No one was Injured. i FULL DOCKET WAITING FOR U. S. SUPREME COURT , W ASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—When on next | Monday the supreme court begins its : term for 1909-10, there will be 630 cases on the docket, a considerably larger num ber than for several years past. The real business of the term will begin on Tues day. when the call of the docket will be commenced. Os the assigned cases which will be taken up in order, the suit of the government for the dissolution of the To bacco Trust probably will be argued to ward the end of next week. A num ber of cases Involving interstate railroad interests are also included in the list. There are several cases of importance which have been docketed since the court adjourned last June, which have not yet been assigned, among which is a case in volving the validity of the Missouri 2-cent rate law. SHOOTS AT CHICKEN, BUT WOUNDS SISTER FAYETTEVILLE. N. C., Oct. 9.-Mos e* McLe«n. while a’ternntlnir to »hor>t a wild chicken, accidenta’ly shot an ! dan gerously wounded his sister. Hager.

Each beacon light is built on a stone foundation on some historic mountain or other promontory along the Hudson, is 90 feet in cirqumference and 30 feet in height, and constructed of dried peat, which will burn briskly for at least six hours and diffuse a great light. Each of these beacons has cost *I,OOO. Besides those constructed by the cele bration commission, other beacons will be burned on maViy of the great private es tates overlooking the river. All of the beacons will be set blazing simultaneous ly by an electric current sent from this city. As President Taft is deep in the Yosemite valley and far from telegraph communication, he has authorized Gen. Stewart L. Woodford to press the button which will start the fires. Besides these fires, a number of cities along the Hudson will have brilliant pyro technical displays and there will be a parade in Brooklyn and other cities. AUGUSTA PHYSICIAN SENT BACK TO JAIL AUGUSTA, Ga., Oct. 9.-Dr. W. H. Shaw, the city physician who Thursday afternoon shot Mr. Thomas S. Gray, cash ier of the Union Savings bank, is still in jail.

He > charged with assault with intent to murder. Mr. Gray, who is in the Mar garet Wright sanitarium, spent a quiet night and is resting well. -O Send f° r Samples £ -Wk W ® ljr Remarkable Jr imdo Clothing Offer Write at once —just your name and address.

S' ' ] BABSGH BROS. and California Avenue CHICAGO / // EIGHTY-ONE YEARS OLD, HE FACED PRISON CELL Leaning upon a hickory staff, a fros ty-haired old man who was born just 81 years ago arose from the prison er's bench in the United States court room yesterday morning and faced Judge Newman in placid expectancy. His manner bore the freedom of the mountaineer and that simple, quiet dignity which marks a race bred close to the soil and the naked sky. His shoes were of goatskin. His blue shirt hung open at the collar. The long, knotted staff reached past his stooping yet sturdy shoulders. His bristly beard seemed to have been blown by the gales of many a winter. He looked for all the world like an aged pilgrim such as you may see woven upon dim old tapestries In Eng land’s most ancient byways. "What is the charge?” asked the judge, glancing up from his docket. The frosty-haired defendant remain ed silent. The district attorney ex plained that he had been found guilty of making moonshine liquor. His name was Adolph Hayes, known tetter as “Dolph” among the craggy hills of Gilmer county, where he has dwelt since the last century was in its youth. In his little red cottage sitting half askew behind its mountain laurel about 10 miles out from Ellijay, he has reared 11 stalwart sons and daughters. “Guilty”—that had been the jury's verdict and now the moment for pay ing the law’s debt had arrived. Judge Newman observed him closely and then gazed reflectively through the court room window to a line of blue, misty hills stretching away in the distance. To' sleep in jail upon a straw pallet when you are 81 years old, to breathe the musty air of a prison cell when you have been used to the ozone of spruce pines, to tell your wi?* good-by and be marched away to iron bars when her head as well as yours is white—this is no pleasant prospect, but this was the future which old “Dolph” faced as he stooa leaning upon his staff. If you turn back into the dustiest files of the revenue office, it is said, you will find the name of Adolph Hayes. Long decades ago his name was familiar to the raiders. This wai not his first conviction. As a young man he brewed moon shine liquor as a matter of principle. As an old man he brewed it as a cher ished custom. He never brewed it with sordid financial designs. "Dolph" could never understand why he hadn't the right to do what he pleased with his corn when his own hands had sowed it each springtime and his own shoulders had borne it to the barn each autumn. And, then, it was always such honest liquor with a tang of joy in every jugfull and merry bubbles roistering on Its brim. But he was guilty under the law. “I don’t want to send this man to jail," • said the judge. The defendant waited in silence. “How old are you?” "Eighty-one.” After a space of several minutes the I judge took up his pen and wrote across I the docket. I "You may go for this time,” he said, “but you must stop breaking the law.” I The aged* man bowed very low and ' picking up nis gray hat went slowly from . court, bls staff tapping before him. CARL FOSTER MUST APPEAR BEFORE THE COMMISSION After consultation with Governor Brown Saturday morning. Chairman Hutchens decided to subpena Carl Foster, who • claims to have been an eye-witness to the killing of Sheriff Dan Keith, of Murray I county, by John Harper, now confined at ! the tower under sentence of and ! who was recently respited by Governor Brown until October 22. ! It was in order to hear Foster's affidavit that the case was re-opened. It has been decided that Foster’s presence in the city is imperative in view of the gravity of the case. He Is expected to appear be fore the commission next Saturday. NEGROES ASK SEATS AT TAFT BANQUET PASADENA, Cal.. Oct. 9.—Whether there shall be representatives of the ne gro race at the Taft banquet here, Oc tober 12, is a question the president, or . some members of his party, will be called .upon to decide today.

Oct. 9.—Frederick Schlie -1 man and Carol Giro were sentenced today to execution at Sing Sing during the week • beginning November 15 for the murder of Mrs. Sophia Staber.
