HABIT’S CHAIN Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed and Hard to Break. An ingenious philosopher estimates tha; , the amount of will power necessary to £ break a life-long habit would. If it could be transformed, lift a weight of many tons. It sometimes requires a higher degree of heroism to break the chains of n pernicious habit than to lead a forlorn hope In a bloody battle. A lady writes from f an Indiana town. “From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Before I was out of my teens 1 was a miserable dyspetlc. suffer ing terribly at times with my stomach. "I was convinced that it was coffee that was causing the trouble and yet I could not deny myself a cup for break fast. At the age of W I was in very poor health, indeed.

IMS HUS BAND AIDED 111 THREE WOMEN’S DEATH? Police Say Woman Claimed She Was Held by Negro As Husband Struck Blows. SAVANNAH, Ga., Dec. 14.-Not a , single assailant, but two or possibly three 1 were engaged in the tragic death of three women, is the theory now advanced by Savannah police. County officers de clare that of these, J. C. Hunter, hus band of Mrs. Maggie Hunter, whose I death added a third to the number of i murdered women, is certainly one. They declare that the chain of evidence is complete, asserting that some cloth ing. badly stained, apparently spattered with blood, which was found later today and belongs to Hunter, is the finial link. This clothing, it is declared, was worn by Hunter on the day of the crimes, and a walking cane found In the house of murders is decland to have been carried by Hunter on the same day. It was declared by a physician at the Savannah hospital that statements made during a moment of consciousness by Mrs. Hunter early today charged the crimes to her husband, and that she was being held by a negro man when the blows were struck that caused her death. Rev. J. S. Wilder, pastor of a Baptist church here, stated that Mrs. Hunter, after recognizing him. declared a white man had struck the blows. The police are continuing their ques tioning of Hunter, who has been a pris oner islnce Saturday. He stoutly denies any guilt. Mayor Tiedeman has asked that no extra editions of the newspapers be is sued carrying the developments in the case. The body of Mrs. Maggie Hunter, the third victim of the mysterious murder committed in a house on Perry street last Friday, w’as carried today to Bulloch county for interment. Mrs. Hunter was a native of Bulloch county, and wished to be buried there. The police are still hold ing her husband at the barracks, and are making a thorough investigation of his actions for the past week or more. A witness has been found who alleges he beard Hunter say he was going to kill a woman if she did not let him alone. He and his wife had been separated. This witness has been detained. Mps. Hunter died without telling who assaulted her. but she told Rev. John S. Wilder, a Baptist minister, that the man who struck her down was a white man. She promised to tell the minister all about the as sault yesterday, but when he reached the hospital she had been dead 10 minutes SAVANNAH, Ga.. Dec. 14.—Dr. V. L. Bassett, the city bacteriologist, has ex amined the clothing of J. C. Hunter, held as suspect for the murder of Mrs. Hunter and two other women, and states that the stains were caused by blood. Hunter admits the stains were blood but says he can show how the clothing be came stained. ' ’ t JOHN W. GATES GIVES ADVICE TO THE YOUNG GALVESTON, Tex., Dec. 15.-That the seventh annual conferences of the gulf division of the Methodist church selected i Port Arthur for a four days’ meeting 1 is due largely to the efforts of John !W. Gates, formerly of Chicago, who I practically owns that community. He I was scheduled as one j#f the principal speakers. In selecting a subject for discussion Mr. Gates chose "Speculation and Gam bling.” and preached against all such get-rich -quick schemes. The address was impressive in warn ing the young churchmen to follow the straight and narrow path and shun gam bling in every form from dice to throw ing to speculating with the markets and dealing in futures. Mr. Gates told bls audience that SIOO earned by honest manual labor was worth more than 110.000 won at gambling whether it be at stud poker or trying to corner the food supply of the country by dealing in w'heat that had not been planted. 12 Hurt in Wreck OMAHA.

About a dozen passengers were slightly injured. injured and would continue his trip to At lanta as soon as he could secure a train. Mrs. Bobby Walthour Was On Wrecked Train And Wires to Her Sister A telegram was received shortly after noon from Mrs. "Bobby” Walthour. of this city, who was a passenger on the ill fated No. 11 Southern railway passenger train which was wrecked, saying that there had been an accident, and that she did not knew when she would reach home. The telegram was addressed to her sis ter who lives in Kirkwood, and failed to state whether or not Mrs. Walthour was injured. Mrs. Walthour has been in New York during the slx-day races at Madison Square garden, in which Bobby Walthour was a prominent competitor, and she was on her way back to Atlanta when the wreck occurred. Much anxiety is felt by her relatives and friends over the possibility of Mrs. Walthour’s having sustained serious in- I jury, and an effort is even now being | made to secure, more detailed informa | t'on.

FAILEDI IN iTWHO ENLIST WITH HER LOVER CHICAGO, Dec. 15.—The second at tempt of Miss Adelaide Portwood, of ‘ Decatur. 111., to enlist in the United States navy in order to be with her sweeheart, who has been ordered to Central America, went awry because of certain regulations governing the en listment o_ recruits. Her sweetheart is Corporal James Dix on, of the Marine corps, who recently in herited about SIOO,OOO, obtained his dis charge and then re-enlisted because he could not curb his martial spirt. Miss Portwood’s family is said to be promi-1 nent in Decatur. When Sergent Holman and Capt. Wil liam Brackett, of the department of Illinois, and Dr. William Nally, exam ining physician, whom he had summon ed. , reached the recruiting station Miss Portwood, in complete boy's attire, was wafting with an expectant smile. “Just step in the next room and pre pare for the physician's examination,” directed Sergeant Holman. Miss Portwood stepped in. After 15 minutes, when Sergeant Holman investi gated to ascertain the cause of the de layed reappearance, an open window told of an escape, and a hairpin and perfumed lace handkedchief on the floor, told a story of their own. The Rifle That Reached the Pole. The Winchester is the rifle that went to the North Pole. It was carried personally by Commander Robert E. Peary. In re gard to this Commander Peary says: "Personally T always carry a Wincdiester Rifle. On my last expedition I liad a Model 1892 44-caliber carbine and Winches ter cartridges, which 1 carried with me right to the North Pole." Harry Whitney also carried Winchester rifles and cart ridges on his hunting trip In the Arctic regions. H esays: “They never failed me." Ex-President Roosevelt, too. is using Winchester rifles and cartridges in Africa and writes of his success with them in his Scribner articles. The fact that all these great figures in the present day an nals of hunting and exploration person ally chose Winchester rifles and cart ridges for their equipment carries its Own suggestion. Such experienced men would not carry rifles and cartridges which they did not consider absolutely dependable. ••• 7 DEAD, 7 ARE INJURED IN 4-STORY TENEMENT FIRE Two of the Injured Will Die, and Fifty Have Narrow Escapes CINCINNATI. Ohio. Dec. 14.-Seven persons lost their lives, seven others were injured, two fatally, and about W others had narrow escapes from instant death in a fire which destroyed a four story tenement and lodging house at Third anil Sycamore streets early today.

The flre originated on the second floor of the building and was due to the up setting of a kerosene lamp during a quar rel between tenants. The building was an old wooden affair and the flames spread rapidly to the stairs and hallways, cutting off the escape of many before the situation had disclosed itself as being serious. When the sleeping inmates awoke they found the building full of smoke and their exit to the street cut off. Many rushed to the windows and others to the' roof. The firemen and policemen rescued manj' of them, but others were too fright ened to heed the cries of the rescuers and threw themselves from the windows. Some of these were caught in blankets held below, but others Jumped to the sidewalk. Four of the dead were found on the upper floors of the building. Two of these were almost totally Incinerated. Mrs. Henderson was found clasping her dead child. Ruth, in her arms. Her two other children were discovered in an ad joining room, having been suffocated by smoke. The properly loss was about $5,000. FLORIDA PLANTER IS BURNED TO DEATH PENSACOLA. Fla., Dec. 15.—Burned to death while sleeping in his own resi dence, was the fate of John Walker, a prosperous planter of near Milligan, last night, thus meeting identically the same death as did his father three years ago near the same point.

PRRESIDENT BARRETT IS EXPECTED IN ATLANTA An active movement has been inau gurated by progressive Atlantians toward securing for Atlanta the $1,000,000 agri cultural college, which is to be establish ed by the National Farmers’ union, for the purpose of educating the youth of the south and the entire, country in the science of modern, scientific production of all manner of farm products. While negotiations looking toward the location of the college in this city have not yet been entered into, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce is vitally interest ed in the project, and a special committee has been appointed to handle the matter and secure the institution for this city if it is possible for them to do so. It will be recalled that Charles S. Bar rett. of Union City, Ga.. president of the National Farmers' union, mapped out a scheme for scientific education of the far mers of the country at the recent con vention of that organization which met at Macon. NEEDS OF EDUCATION. At that time Mr. Barrett pointed out tlie crying necessity for the application ol scientific farming methods before it is toe late. He showed that it is not only prac tical, but absolutely imperative to edu cate the farmer up to an understanding of the theoretical as well as the practical application Os scientific methods in the production of his crops. President Barrett pointed out that it is possible, with a knowledge of the un derlying principles of scientific farming, for an industrious farmer to enhance the value of his holdings anu his produced crops, both in quantity and quality, from 25 to 100 per cent, with but little extra outlay in money and labor. PRESIDENT BARRETT EXPECTED. Some days ago he Journal reported that President Barrett would be in this city within a short time, together With a number of thte presidents of Farmers’ un ions from all over the south. This fact immediately interested the chamber of commerce, and it was learned by them that the object of the visit was to look over the ground with a view of establish ing the SI,OCv.OOO college here in case that other things were satisfactory. Owing to the fact that no negotiations have been t entered into as yet, none of the details are known to The Journal. It is certain, however, that the Farmers' un ion officials are expected in the city every hour, and as soon as they arrive the ag ricultural committee from the chamber of commerce will wait upon them and make a strenuous effort to convince them that the ■ tig college would be better off in this city than anywhere else on earth. PROPOSITION UNCERTAIN. Secretary Walter G. Cooper, of the chamber of commerce, was on the lookout for President Barrett Wednesday morn-' ing. and stated that he expected that of ficial during the day. although he had heard nothing definite from them as to tlie hour and date of -their arrival. Not being in possession of all the facts in the case, the committee from the chamber of commerce cannot say at pres ent what sort of a proposition they will submit to President Barrett, but they are determined to get the college If It is possible for them to do so. This is a big thing for not only At lanta but the entire state, for It is prac tically certain that the $1,000,000 said to be at the disposal of the Farmers’ union will be supplemented by as much more from other sources, and that the Institu tion will be the most Important of its kind anywhere in the world. 3 KILLEB. .32 INJURED IN REAR-END TRAIN CRASH New York Central Limited Collides With Passenger. Three Are Killed ERIE. Pa.. Dec. 14.—New York Central Limited, east bound, sec ond section, en route from St. Louis to New York, came together In a rear end collision with passenger train No. 16 on the Lake Shore railroad at Northeast, Pa., last night. Three Italians were killed, seven other persons seriously injured and probably 25 more or less cut and bruised. Passenger train No. 10, for some reason as yet undetermined, had not made the Northeast siding in time to give a clear ance for the approaching of the 60-mile flyer. According to persons who were aboard train No. 10 a stop had been made at Northeast, delaying the train for some time. Without warning, there came a crash and a splintering of wood and the rear coach of train No. 10 was splintered by the heavy engine hauling the Cen tral Limited. Northeast, being but a ham let and at night cut off except by rail way telegraph lines from the outside world, news of the wreck traveled slow. After midnight, a report reached here that two freight trains had run together head-on, at Northeast, with no fatalities. By a round-about way the report was found to be erroneous and that two pas senger trains had been ditched. Immediately relief trains were rushed from this place and Conneaut. Ohio, loaded with nurses and physicians. Hos pitals in both piaces were notified to be prepared to take care of many injured. Ambulances and dead wagons were lined up at the railroad depot here in anticipa tion of a terrible catastrophe. At 3:40 this morning a relief train arrived here bear ing the mutilated bodies of three Italians and seven persons seriously Injured. These were all taken to the morgue and hospi tals. Persons aboard the fast flyer were hardly aware that a collision had taken place, as the engineer of the flyer, upon seeing the rear signal lights of No. 10, applied emergency brakes in time to save damage to his train, except the mutilation of the pilot and headlight of his engine. NORTHEAST, Pa.. Dec. 14.—An In vestigation to determine the cause of the fatal wreck on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad near here last night, resulting in three deaths, was started at Buffalo today. The dead were foreigners, only one of whom has been identified. He was Anton Lund. On his body was found a steamship ticket. New York to Copenhagen. Among the Injured are: Luigi Bitalls, Cincinnati, bruised; T. H. Heading, Cleveland; H. Masters, Cincinnati: Clay ton Chapman. Elyria, Ohio, and William Coale, Warren, Ohio.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Dec. 14.—Re | belllon has broken out at the capital. ! The streets are filled with unrestrained i demonstrators. Shouts of "Long live lib- I erty, the United States and Estrada," : filled the air. j The police have made no move to check , the mob. It is said President Zelaya has i promised to make public today the an ‘ nouncement of his resignation from the presidency. ■ For the first time in 16 years a street , meeting of malcontents has been permlt i ted without police interference. The ■ demonstration began last night and con- J tinued for hours. ' This forenoon comparative quiet had i been restored, but the events of the last ; fetv hours, admitted of but one interpre tation. The anti-Zelaya feeling was so strong that the government did not dare to attempt its suppression. CAUSE OF OUTBURST. The climax was reached last night, when the govemnk-ni attempted to put through congress a bill conceding to cer tain exploiters mining rights covering vast undefined areas irrespective of the private ownership of the surface of the property. Congressman Enrique Corda opposed the measure in a speech that aroused the wildest enthusiasm. The government, seeing that the mo tion was in danger of being lost, precip itately adjourned the session. It was too late, however, to head off the burst of indignation w’hlch had spread of the leg islative body, supposed to have been friendly to Zelaya. The announcement of the adjournment was greeted with hisses and when Corda left the building he was given an ovation. MOB IS FORMED. | From the meeting place the congress- I man w’ho dared to publicly voice the first protest against the government was fol lowed to his hotel by a mob which al ternately cheered Corda and cried “Long live liberty!” "Down with oppression!” News of what had transpired in congress spread rapidly and the crowd of manifes tants grew to the strength of an army. The rioters gathered in front of the Mex ican legation and called upon the Mexi can minister to Nicaragua for a speech. The diplomat! asked to be excused. Roman Rostran attempted a conciliatory speech and was hooted for his pains. Oc casionally there was a cry of "Give us Madriz!" In a fiery speech Hildebrande Castellon predicted a new era of liberty and his auditors shouted approval. Responding to Insistent calls, Corda made a speech which was a bitter attack upon Zelaya. The speaker said that h» had intended to interpellate the govern ment on the subject’ of its preparations for war in the face of its protestations of peaceful intentions, but he had desisted on the assurance that a formal declara tion by President Zelaya resigning from the presidency will* be published in the morning. POLICE STOOD BT. While these speeches were,,bf log made —and the crowd was as angry as it could be—the police made no show of interfer ence Dr. Madriz arrived in the city and his advent was the signal for a demonstration that made the early out break appear temperate In comparison. The crowd had become emboldened be cause of the non-interference of the po lice, and violent denunciations of the present regime were voiced apparently without thought a possible consequence. In the confusion of shouts one could make out "Viva Mexico!" "Long live the United States!" "The handwriting Is on the wall!” Corda was released but recently from the penitentiary. Following demonstrations at Corda’s hotel the crowd moved to tne home of Henry Caldera, the United States vice consul. Here they cried "Live Estrada!" "Live the revolution!" "Live the United States!” Still the police did not interfere andthe tramping and shouting went on until the manifestants had tired them selves out.

Dec. 14.—An official telegram received at the insur gent headquarters here announces that General Morales, at the nead of a. band of insurgents, has captured Tortuga, Oris! and Supoa, three small towns on th< Costa Rican frontier. Morales proclaimed Estrada president of Nicaragua and continued his march to attack the important town of Rivas. General Estrada and his followers have taken courage as to the prospect of as sistance from the United States In their efforts to overthrow the government ol Nicaragua. The United States cruisers Des Moines and Tacoma and the oottler Leonidas, with their crews on board, are still lying outside the harbor. A cablegram reports that 700 additional marines from the Unit ed States have started for Colon and this fact is Interpreted as assurance that ma rines will be sent here to reinforce the bluejackets now in the harbor. General Estrada now has 2,400 men and looks fbrward to an early engagement that he hopes will result in a decisive vic tory for the insurgents. Estrada an nounces that his first step preliminary to joining Morales and other leaders in a combined attack upon Managua will be the surrounding of Vasquez. which movement Estrada thinks Is partly ac complished now. General Vasquez has reconcentrated his troops in the hills overlooking the Mico river. Vasquez’s right is threatened by Gen. Luis Mena, who has taken up a position nine miles south on the Rama river. On the other flank of the government army is Gen. Fornas Diaz, whose troops oc cupy a strong position on the Siguia river. As the Mlco river flows between the Rama and the Siguia rivers, Vasquez is hemmed in on either side. Estrada plans simultaneous movements by Diaz and Mena, cutting off the retreat of the enemy to the north or south, while Gen eral Chamborro delivers a front attack from the east. The plan is complete and the Inauguration of the campaign awaits only the arrival of artillery and additional ammunition, which are ex pected daily by steamer. NEW ORLEANS.

SAY HHINMiiSNT OF MEE WOMEN'S DEATH SAVANNAH. Ga., Dee. 15.—A chemical analysis of bloodstains found on a bundle of clothing owned by J. C. Hunter, hus band of the last of the three women vio ttms of the Perry street murders to die. practically eliminated Hunter from suspicion of guilt as the perpetrator of the terrible crimes. The anlysis was made at the request of the police by City Bacteriologist Victor Basset, and Ms declaration Is that though Hunter declared the stains to be & vari ety of varnish, yet they are blood, how ever, they are not recent stains and mu«t be older than several days. therefore could not have been made at the time of the murder of Mrs Hunter, Mrs. Oh lander and Mrs. Gribble. An affidavit was obtained from J- M. Robertson, a fellow-work man of Hunter, too, that asserts that during the time the murders must have been committed, Hunter did not leave bls sight long enough to go to the Gribble home and re turn. Hunter and William Walls, who also Is a prisoner and was a close friend of Mm. < Hunter, were given a refined variety of the third degree by the police. Neither knew Mrs. Hunter was dead. The husband was led into a room where his wife lay In her coffin. Suddenly he was brought face to face with the dead woman. He showed much emotion, but asked to be allowed to kiss her, and did so. Walls, declaring that he would "rather have his head cut off than harm her” was allowed to fondle the dead woman’s hands. The problem the police face now Is to apprehend a negro man seen at the Grib ble home with an axe in his band at about the time of the murders. Find this man, they believe, and they will solve the mystery. ORLANDO TO BUILD SHAFT TO VETERANS ORLANDO. Fla.. Dec. 15.—The Annie Coleman chapter U. D.
