King, Wanted in Memphis. Makes Sensation al Getaway in Taxicab CHICAGO. May 12.-While in the cus tody of a deputy sheriff irj the Auditori um hotel here tonight. Samuel E. King, a broker, wanted tn Memphis for pairing bogus checks, eluded his captors, climbed down a fire escape, jumped from the first floor to the street and made his escape. King's escape from the Auditorium ho tel was sensational. He was walking in the corridor on the fifth floor with Chief Deiwty Sheriff A. S. Benners, of Mem phis. in whose custody he had been pa roled to come to Chicago and close up some business matters before beginning a prison term in Memphis. King toid the deputy sheriff that he wanted to return to his room for a moment and get a handkerchief. Instead of entering the room he dodged down a hallway and climbing down a Are escape to the first floor, where it ended, jumped to the sidewalk. Hailing a passing taxicab, the broker entered ft. hurrying away from the scene. , After waiting several minutes in the corridor. Deputy Sheriff Benners return ed to the room and found it empty. An alarm was sounded through the hotel and bell boys and other attendants were sent in search of King, even the guests in etening clothes joining in the exciting search. The search in the hotel (Proving futile, the cab drivers at the curb were ques tioned and it was learned that a man answering King's description got away in the taxicab. The Chicago police were then appealed to. but up to a late hour had found no trace of the fugitive. Tele grams were sent to Windsor, Ont., where King formerly lived, the police believing he will return there. According to Benners, King is undsr penitentiary sentence at Memphis, where recently he was convicted of passing worthless chocks. On his plea that he had some very im portant business to close up In Chicago. King was allowed to come here under parole in custody of the deputy sheriff. “I did not think he would attempt to escape.” said Beners. ’’and I thought there was no danger in letting him go alone to get the handkerchief, as there was no fire escape from our room."

GEORGIA. FRIDAY. MAY 13. 1910 GEORGIA GETS LION'S SHARE OF FEDERAL PATRONAGE Is Given More in Washington Than Any Other Democratic State in the Union —Only Fourteen States Have Any More. Tribute to Senators and Representatives BY RALPH SMITH. Washington, d. c.. May n.-The state of Georgia enjoys more federal patronage in the city of Washington than any other Democratic state or territory in {he union. Indeed, there are only 14 states that have more patronage in the government departments in Washington Lian Georgia, and not one of them is completely Democratic in its national pol itics. . Georgia has more patronage in Wash ington than any of the following states, aj’ of which are wholly, or in part, in political sympathy with the dominant party: Maine. New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island. Connecticut, Wisconsin. Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da kota, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana, Wy on'ing, Oregon and Washington. The states that outiank Georgia in the matter of federal patrqnage in Wash ingtpn are: New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Michigan, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee and District of Co lumbia. Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee have been out of the solid Democratic columns for several years. The first two have vo ted for a Republican president, have elec ted several Republican congressmen and each now has a Republican senator and a Republican governor. Tennesese has two Republican congressmen, and North Carolina has three Republican congress men. GEORGIANS BETTER COMPENSATED. Even more interesting than the pro pt rtionately large number of Georgians in the government departments in Wash ington is the fact that they are com pensated better by the government for their service than the usual government clerk. According to the official register, other wise and commonly known as the blue book, there arc 377 Georgians in the va rious departments and bureaus of gov ernment in Washington, and their total compensation amounts to $145,009 per an num—not such a poor record for a con sistently Democratic state. Indeed, it would seem that Georgia is reaping some of the spoils that other states might claim, as a reward for political consist ency. . . j When one considers that Virginia and Maryland and the District of Columbia outrank Georgia in the number of em ployes. one should stop to consider, also, the geographical location of these places, Vltglnia and Maryland are right at Wash ington's door, and the District of <■ olum bia is itself the seat of government. It is perfectly natural that these states should have an unusual number of citi zens employed in the department-natu ral. despite the fact that both of them have Republican representatives in con- g Employed in the departments andl hu rt aus. exclusive of outside laborers, there are 30.765, government clerks in M ashing ten. Their aggregate compensation is $33,993,173 per annum. The average com pensation iS $1,104.80. The average compensation of the Geor gia clerks is $1,180.50 per annum. A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION. The fact that Georgia is so well repre sented. so much better represented, in fact, than many states, finds explanation in the influence and activity of her sena tors and representatives in congress. Both' of the Georgia senators have been in congress long enough to thoroughly establish themselves and, moreover, to ONE MAN FATALLY HURT IN PENNSYLVANIA WRECK CLEVELAND. May 12,-Pennsylvania passenger train No. 307, leaving Pitts burg at 5:30 and due in Cleveland at H a. m.. jumped the track at Pensington, 15 miles south of Alliance, and some of the coaches rolled down a 20-foot em-1 bankment.

There are more Georgians emnloyed in the interior department than elsewhere in Washington, and this fact is attri buted to Gov. Hoke Smith's incumbency I of the secretaryship of this department. ' Os course, there is nothing like as many Georgians in this department as there was 14 years ago when Governor Smith ' was at its head. Moreover, it appears that the Georgians in the interior depart ment are better compensated, on the average, than the Georgians employed '! elsewhere. Their average compensation is $1,262 per annum. I I The department of comm»rce and labor . employs 34 Georgians. When Governor | Smith was secretary of the interior most of the bureaus and divisions that com prise this new department were under him. Among these might be mentioned ■ the census bureau. This was a branch of i the department of the Interior, when i Governor Smith was at its head, and ■ | many of the Georgians now charged to ■ the department of commerce and labor i really carfie irf under Governor Smith s ■ admlntstbation of the bureau as a part of i his duties. ELOQUENT SERMON BY DR. PICKARD BY ALEX W. BEALER.' BALTIMORE, Md., May 11.—Dr. W. L. Pickard, pastor of the First Baptist church at Savannah, scored a brilliant success before the convention last night in preaching the convention sermon. A splendid opportunity was presented to him and he took advantage of it. When he rose to speak a magnificent congrega tion of 4,060 people and more was be fore him. His text was taken from the 17th chapter of Matthews and second verse: "And was transfigured before them.” He announced his subject to be "The Transfigured and Transfiguring Christ." It was a sermon couched in chaste language and delivered In a very impressive manner. In bursts of passion he swept his hearers before him as he preached the simple gospel of salvation through faith in the blood of the lamb for sinners slain. There was no word of apology from first to last and many hearty amens were shouted forth by the brethren.. It wag one of the most power ful sermons ever preached before to con vention. At Its conclusion the brethren as one great voice sung "All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,'’ Preceding the sermon, the report of the committee on the laymen’s movement ' was read by <L T. Henderson, secretary lof the movement among the Baptists. The chief problem was to reach and de velop the 10,000 churches in the south who give nothing and to Induce the glvera to be more liberal and more systematic. Mission study classes and mission mass meetings were recommended. The pas tors were urged to preach the duty of tithing as the least a Christian should give, to urge their members to give as much for missions as they give for the support of ■ the local church, to urge weekly contributions and to have every member seen and asked for a contribu tion. QLIVER WAS SLEEPING AT CRUCIAL MOMENT "I ain’t..no vagrant, boss. Me and three- other Tittle niggers, what the po lice didrt’t ketch, just' stayed up all hight to see the big Star, what every body is talking about/- Thus spqke Thomas. Oliver Sudemeyer, aged 12 years, of 66- AVernon piace, who was arraigned tn the recorder's court Thursday morning for being on the street at 5 a. m. "You mean you stayed up to see the comet?” questioned Judge Broyles. ■ "Yessir, yessier, dat's it," was the quick response from the little negro, wh.Qse h.ead scarcely reached tne top of the recorder’s desk. ’'Well, Thomas Oliver,-did you see the comet?”' asked the juuge. •’No, boss, I didn't,” was the answer. "Me. and the other little niggers crawled up on a white man s porch and drapped off to sleep. Then we forgot to wage up until we heard the polices coming up .the' walk. \ . ■ "Those other niggar noys woke _ UP fust, uno all left fore the. polices could ketch 'em, but dey got me." Judge Broyles not liking to stem the ardor of the youthful astronomer, dis missed the case against Thomas Oliver, instructing tiim to have police head quarters notified the next time he start ed off to see the celestial wanderer, so that he would not be arrested again. METHODISTS IB CBNTINUE PKIOBSjHEH TERM. Minister, However, may Re main Longer on Unanimous Vote of Presiding Elders ASHEVILLE, N. C„ May 11.—When j the general conference of the Method- I ist Episcopal church, south, settled | down to business today interest cen- ! tered in the report of she committee ' on itinerancy. The majority of the ; committee concurred in the memorial j petitioning that on the unanimous vote ; of the presiding elders a preacher may J be allowed to remain longer than four ; years in one charge. The minority re- • port asked that the present law be ■ unchanged. General regret was expressed by the | conference when Bishop James Atkins, ; the presiding officer for the day, an- j nounced the dnath of Rev. Y. L. C. Hunnicutt, of Jackson, Miss., a prom inent member ot the Mississippi con ference. The committee on church publi cations! requested the return of their report based on the memorial from the Virginia conference asking for a re vised edition of the psalter. By vote | it was recommitted. A letter from Bishop J. S. Key was | read to the conference in which the i bisnop asked the superannuate rela- | tlon. The letter was referred to the [ committee on episcopacy. A memorial i was presented asking for a resident bishop in Brazil. __ CHL’RCH RELATIONS. A report of the committee on church relations lecommended the adoption of the recommendations contained in the [ report of the commission on federation | between the northern and southern | churches. This commission recommend- . ed the creation of a federal council composed of 18 members, to be divided , equally between the two churches six to I e bishops, six traveling preachers and six laymen. This report was adopted. . The committee on publishing Interests I reported against the memorial for the publication of a simplified hymnal, and the question was sent to the calendar. The committoe on the Laymen's Mis sionary movement reported in favor of changes in the discipline that would per mit recognition of the movement in the annual and district conferences. This also wont to the calendar. An invita tion from Tampa to hold'the next gen eral conference there was referred to the committee on conference entertain ment, which some time within the next two or three years will fix the time and the place of the next quarterly confer ence. GREETING TO BAPTISTS. The secretary was instructed to send fraternal' greetings to the Baptist con vention in session at Baltimore. The remainder of the morning session wns taken up with the discussion of Sunday school affairs. When the clos ing time came, a motion to adjourn car ried so quickly that the benediction was forgotten. WOMAN’S RIGHTS DENIED. At a meeting of the committee on revisals held last night the question % of equal rights of the women with, that of the laity was thoroughly de- j bated and after a long session by a I vote of 17 to 6, the committee voted against the memorial presented by the women, in which they asked for equal representation with the men, and will report to the conference non-concur rence. A minority report will also be j presented by the six gentlemen who voted in favor of the women. By a vote of 13 to 3 the appeals committee of the general conference at a session held today sustained the de cision of the South Carolina confer ence which recently expelled the Rev. C. W. Creighton, of Greenwood, S. C., from the ministry of church on a | charge of disloyalty. ThH action of the general conference committee is final. JOSEPH ThAMBERUN" IS NOT DEAD BUT BETTER CANNES.

SEES HALLEY’S COMET FOR THE SECOND TIME Allan Dunn, a well-known citizen of Catoosa Springs. Ga., enjoys the distinc tion of having seen Halley's comet on two occasions, his first glimpse of the ccmet being in the fall of 1835, just 75 years ago. Mr. Dunn saw the comet for the second time on May 9, of this year. It was in the fall of 1835 that Mr. Dunn, who was then living in east Ten nessee, first saw Halley’s comet. He was but 14 years of age but states that he remembers distinctly looking at the won derful visitor. The second time Mr. Dunn saw the comet was on the morning of May 9, at the home, of his son, J. A. Dunn, of Catoosa Springs. Ga. Allan Dunn was born in Greene county, on December 20, 1820. He is now 89 years of age and unusually hale and hearty for one of his advanced years. FAMILY FOOD Crisp, Toothsome and Re quires No Cooking A little boy down in N. C. asked his mother to write an account of how Grape-Nuts food had helped their family. She savs Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention in Charlotte, where she visited. “While I was there I used the food regularly. I gained about 15 pounds and felt so well that when I returned home I began using Grape-Nuts in the family regularly. “My little 18-months-old baby shortly after being weaned was very ill with dvspepsia and teething. She was sick nine weeks and we tried everything. She became so emaciated that it was painful to handle her and we thought we were going to lose her. One day a happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm milk. "Well, it worked like a charm and she began taking it regularly and improve ment set in at once. She is now getting well and round and fat as fast as possi ble and on Grape-Nuts. “Some time aero several of the family were stricken with La Grippe at the same time, and during the worst stages we could not relish anything in the shape of food but Grape-Nuts and oranges, every thing else nauseating us. “We all appreciate what your famous food has done for our family.” Read "The Road to Wellville.” found in nkgs.

POLISH HERBES HBNDRED Bi BEOIBITION Os SHAFTS (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 12.—Two monu ments to the memory and deeds of Pu laski and Kosciusko. the Polish he roes, both of whom fought and one of whom dted that liberty in Ameriea’might live, were dedicated here today. The time of the delications was so arranged that President Taft could attend each. The monument to Pulaski was erected by an act of congress, but the statue to Kosciusko is a gift to the nation from the Polish National alliance and other organizations of Poles who have made their homes in. the free republic for which their distinguished country men fought. There was a double signifi cance to the unveiling of the monument to Kosciusko, for it marked the open ing here tomorrow of the first Polish na tional congress to attend which thousands of Poles from all over the United States have come. DISCUSS NATION. The purpose of the congress is to dis cuss In all its phases the condition of the Polish nation, to acquire familiarity with the needs of the Polish national life and find ways and means of fulfill ing them. ’ The ceremonies which preceded the dedication of the statues were long plan ned and very elaborate. A military pa rade in which all the regular troops sta tioned at Fort Myer as well ga the na tional guard of the District of Columbia marched, was one of the features. Brig. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, U. S. A., was in command. • In the heart of the busier section of the city the monument to Pulaski stands 14 feet from the sidewalk in a triangular green. In the saddle of a charger is moun ted the figure of the hero in the Polish Hussar uniform in which he won com mand of a brigade of Washington's cav alry for his gallant conduct at the Bran dywine. ALWAYS WORE UNIFORM. Pulaski always wore the uniform of his beloved fatherland, and it clothed his breast through three years of valiant fighting on American soil until he fell at the siege of Savannah in 1779, and died on the United States brig of war Wasp in Jhe harbor, two days after. The sculptor, Chedzlnski. gathered ma terial for his work in Paris, Berlin and parts of Poland, and secured from the descendants of Pulaski a lifesize paint ing of the hero mounted on a horse, done by Pulaski's sister. In Lafayette park, a beautiful shaded square across Pennsylvania avenue from the White House, the monument to Kosciusko, with the exception of one. completes the set of five planned there. The others are to General Lafayette and Count Rochambeau. who commanded the French allies at Yorktown. On the re maining corner will be erected the statue of Baron Von Steuben. An immense stat ue of Gen. Andrew Jackson is in the center of the park. “FRIEND OF HOBO” PASSES TO BEYOND WHITE PLAINS, N.

Senator Depew Praises King Edward, His Friend ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., May 9.-Sen ator Chauncey M. Depew, who knew King Edward VII well when the late king was prince of Wales, has given out at a hotel here an Interview of eulogy he says: “King Edward would have made a great American had his lot been cast with this country instead of being born to the English throne. More than a king, a great factor for peace and good will among nations has passed away. I would compare his death with the tragic death of McKinley. "To my mind. King Edward was even a greater statesman than Gladstone. I believe King Edward VII was more of a factor than The Hague tribunal or other peace movements in maintaining the peace of the world in the last few years. By dissipating jealousies and heridltary enmity and bringing about cordial relations with France. I believe he has been a practical savior of that re public."
