Slaughter Dies In Hospital as Wife Is Brought in Sick MACON, Ga.. Sept. A—Just fifteen min utes after his wife had been lifted from an ambulance to a cot beside him in the city hospital, in a critical condition with typhoid fever. J. C. Slaughter, her husband, who had been a fever patient at the hospital for four weeks, peaceful ly passed away, without either of the couple ever recognising one another. The two cases were the saddest handled by the hospital doctors this year, and so appealed to the sympathy of several of the nurses that they wept even as though the deceased husband and sick wife were their own relatives. The body was carefully rolled from the bedside of the wife to the morgue, where it M'a’ delivered to local undertak ers. The deceased was an ex-fireman for the city and well known here. He leaves his widow, who is not expected to sur vive, one little daughter and one brother, C. H. Slaughter, of this city. The body will probably be interred this afternoon in Riverside cemetery. The sick wife is being carefully attended be side the empty cot of her husband, en tirely ignorant of the fact of his death.

MONROE PHONE COMPANY WOULD INCREASE RATES Officials and attorneys for the Mon roe Telephone company, an independent telephone concern with exchanges in Monroe, Bostwick and Bethlehem, ap peared before the state railroad commis sion Thursday morning and argued the .- petition for a right to increase the rates now charged tor telephone service. A flat raise of 50 cents per subscriber is asked for the town of Monroe. Busi ness houses in that city now pay $2.50 per month for their phones. The com pany desires to raise this rate to $3. The charge for a residence phone is $1.50 per month. It is contemplated that this rate shall be increased to $i J. H. Nunnally, president of the Mon roe Telephone company, and Napier. Wright & Cox, of Atlanta, attorneys for the company, are representing the peti tioner.' Opposing the proposed increases is W. O. Dean, of Monroe, who repre sents the mayor and council of that city as well as a hundred or more citissns. The petition for the right to increase rates Is based by the company upon the declaration that present rates do not permit a fair return upon the invest ment involved. ROCKMART AGENT IS GIVEN TWO YEARS M M. Dowling, the railway agent at Rockmart, who dropped out of sight last fall and was found In Los Angeles with $5,200 of the Seaboard Air Line’s money, was sentenced at Cedartown Thursday to two years in the state penitentiary. The sentencing judge dealt with him lightly because of his voluntary return from California. When Dowling was found after weeks of searching, he not only agreed to return without the neces sity of requisition but he came alone with no officers to guard him. Because of this fact his attorneys en deavored to have his offense consid ered as a misdemeanor instead of a fel ony and made every effort to have his punishment reduced to a fine or to jail impHsonment. But the trial judge held that Dowling had been guilty of a fel ony. His arrest was brought about by the National Surety company, by which he had been bonded.

They sig nalised the beginning of their strike by a midnight demonstration in newspaper row which the police broke up without disorder.

Ga., Sept. 7.—Thirteen as a number for a store is undesirable in Waycross, according to a petition filed with city council and which result ed in the changing of A few numbers in a business block to give “thirteen” the high ball. It seems that the store was qever very attractive as a renting proposition, because of the figures “13,” which were tacked over the door. This was the regular number assigned to the store in carrrying out the city system of numbering, but the owners of the prop erty did not like it and asked for re lief. Ey taking down a number on a store that happened to have an opening on another street and was therefore dou ble numbered, the council committee handling the matter managed to do away with thirteen. And immediately thereafter the oWners found their store in great demand LESSAY SUCCUMBS” TO GASOLINE BURNS (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga..

Suffragettes Steal Flags From Greens on Kings Golf Course (By Associated Press.) BALMORAL, Scotland, Sept. 7.—- Suffragettes invaded the grounds ot King George's highland castle la"i night.

They remov ed and took away with them the flags marking the holes. TWO FULL REGIMENTS ORDERED TO MEXICO (ay Associated rress.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Two devel opments in the Mexican situation today led obseryers of that situation to re gard condtions as gravs. President Taft ordered two full regiments of cavalry to the border line and the Madero gov ernment contemplated asking permission of the United States to tiansport its loyal troops through Texas and New- Mexico to attack the scattered bands of marauding rebels sallying across the line and attacking American ranches and stealing cattle. After Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, had talked over the telephone with President Taft at Beverly, the Thirteenth cavalry from Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, and the Ninth cavalry from Fort Riley, Kansas, were put under rush orders to join the border patrol. NOT TO CROSJ BORDER. The president made it plain that un der no circumstances were the troops to crosa the line and that he still regarded intervention as an act of the very last resort. In addition to the two regiments, Troop C, of the Third cavalry, was or dered to the neighborhood of last night’s skirmish on the Victoria ranch and Troop B, Fourth cavalry, was ordered from Fort Huachuca to Arivaca, Arixona, to strengthen the border patrol there. The president authorized the export of five hundred rifles and one hundred and fifty thousand rounds of ammunition to the beleaguered Americans in the Canaea district. The United States probably would permit the Madero government to send troops through Texas and New Mexico into northern Chihuahua. Inasmuch as the state department has demanded that Mexico send federal troops into north ern Mexico to protect Americans, it is assumed the United States will co-oper ate with Madero in an effort to do so. The Mexican congress, however, must first authorize the sending of troops out of its country. This was done in the Madero rebellion.

MACON, Ga., Sept. 7.—The railroad crew who had charge of clearing the main line of the Southern railroad where the wreck occurred Thursday afternoon, near Holton, have stated that the wreck occurred through no fault of the track conditions, but because of the sudden lock of the wheels when the engineer applied the emergency brakes.
