ducted in the Second Baptist church

Terrell rallied from the stroke and ap
parently improved, but Bright’s disease
overtook him. and the weakened condi

Rob Investors
(By Associated Frest.)
CINCINNATI, Nov. 18.—According to
government officials, postoffice inspectors
in many cities today arrested a number
of men suspected of complicity in —a
scheme which, it is alleged, has resulted
in the. loss of many thousands of dol
lars by "investora”
Five of these men were indicted by
the United States grand jury here last
month. The men. it is alleged, oper
ated against individuals and corporations
that desired to place stocks or bonds on
the market.
The following members of the alleged
ring were indicted by the federal grand
jury here;
F. D. Minyard, now in Cleveland; J.
Gordon Malcolm, who went to Canada
before the indictments were returned;
Thomas Fishwick, now in Boston;
George S. Hannaford, now in Chicago; J.
R. Long, now in Buffalo.
The men are alleged to have mulcted
promoters and infant stock corporations
out of thousands- of dollars, secured
through fees and commissions for ar

TURK LINE HOLDS:
UHSFAIL
AT CRUCIAL POINT
Amid Scenes of Terrible Car
nage, Turkish Army Success
fully Defends Forts Outside
Constantinople
■ (By Associated Press.)
LONDON, Nov. 18.—The first Bul
garian attack on the Turkish line of
fortification defending Constantinople at
Tchatalja has failed. The whole of the
Bulgarian army was engaged. Every
available man was moved to the front
from the Bulgarian forces investing
Adrianople, where they were relieved by
Servian troops.
The Bulgarians, with all their artil
lery, began their advance on the Tcha
talja fortifications on Saturday and con
tinued the bombardment of the works
throughout Sunday. They, however,
found the Turkish positions so strong
that they could make no impression on
them and for, the moment at least the
! attempt has been given np, the firing,
according to a dispatch from Constanti
i nople, having ceased morning.
; Observers who have been to the Turk-
I ish front agree that the capture of the
1 Tchatalja lines must prove a task of
I tremendous difficulty. The days the Bul-
I garian troops were compelled to use for
! the bringing up of guns, ammunition
and reinforcements, were utilized by the
I Turks to entrench themselves, giving
them a distinct advantage over the at
tacks. The Turkish solders, too, appear
to have been steadied.
The Bulgarian troops made their at
tack east of Tchatalja. The strong
forts, the marshes and the guns of f e
Turkish warships evidently had discour
aged them from making an -attempt to
turn either flank of the Turkish lines.
TURK LINE MAY HOLD.
The Turks seem to have no hope of
rolling back the Bulgarian forces, but
if they succeed in holding the lines of
i Tchatalja, both the military and diplo
matic situation will undergo a marked
I change, for a long defense of the front
will probably compel the Bulgarians to
enter into negotiations without captur
ing the Turkish capital.
•| In Albania the opposing armies have
again come tp grips and another battle
is in progress today near Monastir.
At Scutari the Montenegrins finally
are making some headway. They have
' driven Turkish troops from one of their
mountain positions, but the Turkish
commander has not given up hope of
| making a long defense.
'GRIFFIN FAIR CLOSES
' AFTER FINE MEETING
i First Annual County Exposition
Draws Great Crowds to
• See Exhibits
'Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
GRIFFIN, Ga., Nov. first an
nual fair to be given by the Griffin and
Spalding County Fair association came
to a close Saturday night, having run
I throughout the entire week. It was in
every way one of the most successful
[county fair* ever held in the state, and
lin the matter of attendance far ex
ceeded the recent State fair. The suc
cess has so encouraged the officers of
the association that they are even now
discussing the next fair, which will be
held a year hence, and which de
clare will be upon a much larger scale
than the first
There was not the full and hearty
support of all Griflinites at the begin
ning of the project for holding a fair
in this city, as many did not believe it
could be made a success, but the show
just closed was a surprise and source
of pride to all, and now every one is
"boosting the one to be held next year.
No one thing contributed so much to
drawing the crowds as did the horse
racing, and lovers of the sport were
here from all parts of Georgia and ad
joining states. The track, although
built very hurriedly and completed only
a few days beforp the opening of the
gates, is one of the fastest in the state.
This was proved by Marie Bradley, who
on Thursday made a mile in 2:11, the
fastest mile ever made on a half-mile
track in Georgia.
Another good drawing card was Har
old Kantner, the aviator. who made
four flights in his French monoplane,
which were very successful and were
witnessed by many thousand visitors.
The success of the fair was due in no
small part to the earnest and faithful
work of the officers, who are: < A. P.
Patterson, president; R. O. Crouch, vice
president; E. P. Bridges, secretary; S.
B. Fry. treasurer. Those who volunteer
ed their time and means to building the
race track and accomplished what many
believad to be impossible, were Y. S. B.
i Gray, J. Eli Brewer, John Bassett and
W. T- Jones, and a grateful has
been unstinted in its praise of the work
i accomplished by these men.

DOCTORS WILL EXHUME
BOOT OF ASHBURN GIHL
Report of Chemist Shows No
Trace of-Poison in
Stomach
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ASHBURN, Ga., Nov. 18.—Following
closely after the report of Dr. John
Funke, the Atlanta chemist, that no
poison was found in the stomach of
Miss Minnie Marchman, it is reported
that the girl’s body will be exhumed
and that a minute examination of other
organs will be made to determine
whether or not the young woman died
of -poisoning.
Another interesting report received
Monday is that yqung Tan Cleghorn,
the fiance of the dead girl, was seen in
the neighborhood Sunday, and that he
can be easily located if a warrant is
taken out for his arrest.
Plans for the exhuming of Mis
Marchman’s body were suggested after
the report from Dr. Funke, in which he
suggested that this be done.
Dr. Funke’s report to Dr. W. J. Dixon
follows:
“Up until 'the present time I have
found nothing in the stomach contents
to account for the death of the girl,
Miss Marchman. Since the stomach
contains practically nothing except
mucus, it is very probable that if the
death was due to a poison, that sub
stance was all absorbed. In order to
clear up the mystery, I would like to
do a more extended autopsy or ex
amination of the body, and procure such
organs in which the poison is likely to
be found. I would be glad to come
down to do the post-mortem examina
tion and bring back with me such or
gans as found necessary to clear up the
mystery.
"Your truly,
“J. FUNKE.’’
“P. s.—The stomach itself will now
be examined if you do not see fit to
have a further post-mortem examina
tion. J- F.”
The Atlanta expert's proposal that
Miss Marchman’s body be exhumed and
a farther examination made of other
organs, has been accepted. He has
been asked to come down here within
the next few days and superintend
the work of determining what drug, if
any, caused the death of the young
woman whom Cleghorn promised to
make his bride.
THEMES FOR MINISTERS.
The death of Miss Marchman formed
the texts of pastors of both Methodist
and Baptist pastors Sunday. Rev. W. E.
Towson, of the Methodist church, round
ly scored newspapers for the prominence
given the case.
A strong- sermon was delivered by
Rev. C. C. Davison, pastor of the Ash
burn First Baptist church. He held that
the girl’s death was a warning to par
ents for safeguarding their girls.
Taking as his subject, “Our Rock—
The Christ,” he begged that Christian
influence be used in homes to com
bat the menaces of young womanhood.
He said in part:
“The deplorable affair that has hap
pened in our county cries out to us
more forcibly than mere human words
can express for the supreme need of
this rock in our homes, and in our
everyday life. <
“Had poor, misguided Minnie March
man sought protection of the rock she
would have had about her frail being a
shield that no man could have pene
trated, no matter with what pleasing,
sugar-coated influences the evil might
have tempted her.
"Had Tan Cleghorn been on the rock
he would never have allowed tempta
tion to cause him to besmirch the puri
ty and wreck the life of a young girl
and bring a cloud of shame and sorrow
on the good name of a family forever.
"This awful tragedy should be a
warning to others. Nd home is safe
from the invasion of the evil one, and
fathers and mothers should place their
feet squarely on the rock, the Christ,
and save their children and their
homes.” \
m m TRUST LOSES ■
SUPREME COURT APPEAL
government Sustained-Death
Blow Dealt to Anti-Trust
Law Violators
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. Nov. 18.—The su
preme court of the United States today
delivered a death blow at violations of
the Sherman anti-trust law under the
cloak of protection of the patent laws,
by annulling as invalid “license agree
ments" which held manufacturers of
sanitary enamelled ironware together in
the combination known as the "bathtub
trust.”
Justice McKenna delivered tha- unan
imous opinion of the court. He said
that rights conferred by patents were
extensive, but did not give a universal
license against the positive prohibitions
of the Sherman law. The decision ful
ly sustained the government in its fight
begun over a year ago against the
bathtub and enameled ware manufac
turers.
The fight was begun by the govern
ment in the United States district court
of Maryland, it being charged that the
fifty defendants named had entered into
a combination to restrain interstate
trade in sanitary enameled ironware and
had attempted to monopolize that trade.
Sixteen of the defendants were corpora
tions.
ILLEGAL AGREEMENTS.
One of the individual defendants was
Edwin L. Wayman, with whom the cor
porate defendants and their officials
were charged with having entered into
illegal agreements, in effect licenses, for
the use of a patented enameling tool.
Wayman was to refund part of the li
cense fee if the manufacturers had not
violated any conditions of the agree
ments, among these conditions being
one that they would not sell to any job
ber who did not sign a contract not to
buy from any other than the corporate
defendants; and another that they would
not sell at a lower price or on more at
tractive terms than those named in a
schedule of prices attached to the agree
ment.
The lower court held that the agree
ments destroyed competition and fixed
prices in violation of the Sherman law,
and furthermore, that the patent on the
tool did not make the agreements law
ful. The lower court prohibited the de
fendants from attempting further to
restrain trade by means of these agree
ments, pronounced illegal.
Justice McKenna, in announcing the
decision of the supreme court, called at
tention to the effectiveness of the com
bination made possible among the en
amel ware manufacturers through Way
man’s plan to grant licenses on his im
provement for enameling.
The decision marked an epoch in anti
trust decisions, but it sustained the gov
ernment's contention that a violation of
the Sherman anti-trust law could not
be concealed behind the patent laws of
the country. The decision of the lower
court was upheld throughout as to the
main defendants and the Colwell Lead
company, which claimed it was not en
gaged in interstate commerce.

URGING CITIZENS TO

ers, lawyers, merchants and othef bust!
ness men are unanimous Monday ia|
their indorsement of The Journal’s sug-4
gestion that Georgia should send M
mammoth delegation to Washington onl
March 4 to the inauguration of Wood 4
row Wilson to the presidency.
An immediate response was forthcons4
from Atlanta’s city fathers. They
are already planning for the mayor and
members of general council to charts!
a Pullman car. or cars, and attend the
inauguration in a body to officially repj
resent the city where Woodrow Wilsoni
was admitted to the practice of law. |
The Journal’s editorial, "Let Georgial
Be There,” has been re&d and noted byi
practically every man in Atlanta, and
comment upon it is heard everywhere!
Many prominent citizens have come for-]
ward with expressions indorsing Ths
Journal’s idea and joining with thw
paper in urging every Georgian whs
can to make arrangements to go to the)
history-making event.
GOVERNOR BROWN. | |
Governor Brown, who expects to be 14
Washington for the occasion if his oflH
clal duties will permit, stated Monda4
morning that Georgia had a greater senJ
timental interest in the inaugurating
than any other state, and that it 14
peculiarly fitting that this state should
be represented in the festivities byes
large delegation. He pointed out
the presidentet-elect is a former Geor4
gian, having spent his boyhood an<i
young manhood here; that his wife wa4
a native Georgia girl and that two of)
his daughters were born in this statsj
The governor said that every GeorgiaN
who could do so should attend the in-« *
auguration. He was very muen pleased
with the suggestion that Georgians ge)
to Washington in an organized bodyj
with bands and banners anti that they}
take a conspicuous part in ths cere4 ’
monies.
JUDGE GEORGE HILLYER.
Judge George Hillyer, senior membell
of the state railroad commission, and
the judge who in the spring of 1883
admitted the president-elect, then a resty
dent of Atlanta, to the legal
said:
I think The Journal is to be conH
mended for its strong efforts
promoting an emphatic demonstration
by our state at Washington on ths 4tM
of March next, when Woodrow Wilsoal
is inaugurated president I am nat4
urally full of the subject because I can!
recollect v when a lad standing on my|
father’s gate post and hurrahing for
"Polk, Dallas and Texas,” away back lai
the ’4o’s. This was the Democratic!
slogan of the day, and it triumphed. V
have been a Democrat ever since them
James K. Polk, of Tennessee, the the 4
I Democratic candidate for president, wad
elected and inaugurated the next
4th of March, 1845. There has neved
been a southern man occupying the pres
idential office after President Polk’d
term expired, until the coming inaugj
uration of Woodrow Wilson. The elee!
tion of Woodrow Wilson is a great even(|
for the nation and for the south. A new
era has begun for both, under which!
justice, equality and represenatlve gov-j
ernm nt has in the truest sense come td
its own again. Georgia is more idenJ
titled with Woodrow Wilson than and
other state and I think she should bd
the i.iost emphatic and. If possible, thd
most conspicuous in the great cere-i
monies of thal auspicious occasion. Th<|
Journal has spoken out well and strong,
on the subject and I trust will con-|
tlnue to do so."
Asa G. Candler, one of Atlanta’s most!
prominent and one of thd
south's largest manufacturers, when|
seen by a Journal reporter, said:
"I am going to be in Washington to
see a southern Democrat take the oath!
as president of the United StatesJ
Every Georgian should go, even if they!
have to lock up the house and take al
week’s rations with them. We are get-l
ting back home, back to the Whitd
House, and we should let the peopld
know it.
“It is our privilege as well as oufl
duty to be in Washington on that oc-1
casion, when a new turn in the history!
of our country will commence.
“The state’s military should be there!
to a man. Not a single member of thd I
national guard of Georgia should be!
missing from the ranks when the greatj •
parade passes the streets of thd
nation’s capital ctty. The whole state"
of Georgia should be represented by<
thousands of its citizens to see thd |
greatest man in present history become)
president.” , .
WALTER P. ANDREWS.
Walter P. Andrews, former exalted
ruler of the Atlanta Elks and one ofl
the Wilson leaders ip Georgia during
both the primary and general - •
campaigns, was strong in his
ment of the idea and believes that it id ’
the state’s opportunity to make itself!
better known in the eyes of the nationJ
“Georgia should run several special
trains to Washington to the inauguraj
tion of one of its former citizens,” aakfl j
Colonel Andrews to a Journal reporter!
“I will be one of the number aboanSS
one of the special trains, and I hope than
there are more than 5,000 besides my-|
self who will be there on March 4. , !
