KILLS SEIFJ HOTEL
Throat Was Cut and He Had
Been Dead for Nearly an
Hour When the Deed Was
Discovered '
Dr. George S. Tigner, the well-known
.•Lianta dentist, took his own life early
vVednesday morning in the Imperial ho
tel, where he made his home.
About 4 o’clock Dr. Tigner got up
and went to the bath in the east end
of the hotel. iHs wife was awakened,
but presently went back to sleep. In
about an hour she waked again, and
was frightened by finding him stil
gone.
She got up and went to the bath and
found the door locked. Stooping down
and looking underneath the door, she
was able to discern his body lying on
the floor.
She gave the alarm to the hotel offi
cials and they broke open the doe*
and found Dr. Tigner dead, with his
throat cut.
The body was taken to Patterson's
undertaking establishment, and an in
quest was held there at 10 o’clock
Wednesday morning.
A rundown, nervous condition is
thought to have been the cause of Dr.
Tigner’s act. For some time his family
and friends have known that he was
not up to his normal standard of
health, as he has frequently spoken of
his hervousness and said he was going
to take a long rest as soon as he could
get his affairs in shape. No one sus
pected, however, that liis strength had
ebbed so low as to render him danger
ously despondent.

tons.- Of the 121 total steam vessels
constructed 36 were built on the Great
Lakes.
DRAFT BILL ASKING
BRANCH DEAF SCHORL
Committee of South Georgia
Citizens Named to Push Mat
ter Before Legislature
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
TIFTON, Ga., July 10.—Arrangement
was made at the meeting or the ex
ecutive committee, which has in charge
the securing of a branch school in
south Georgia for the deaf, at the
meeting in Tifton Monday afternoon, to
have Representative George F. Paulk,
of Berrian, introduce the bill provid
ing for the establishment of the school.
A committee consisting of O. P. Wil
lingham. Judge J. G. McCall, M. S.
Canty, Dr. R. C. Woodard and H. H.
Tift, was appointed to look after the
drawing of the bill and appear before
the legislative committee in its behalf.
The bill will ask for a branch school
convenient to the 150 deaf children in
south Georgia who are unable to avail
themselves of the education offered by
the Cave Spring scnool on account of
its inacessibility. The bill will not
specify any particular location but will
leave that to be settled by a committee
appointed by the legislature or gover
nor. No large appropriation for build
ings will be asked, but the town where
the school will be located will be ex
pected to provide temporary buildings.
No effort is being made to secure the
school for Tifton, the meetings being
held here simply because Tifton is the
most conveniently located. Those be
hind the movement are working solely
in the interest of the deaf children of
the state.
Among those from out of town at
tending the meeting were: O. P. Wil
lingham. of* Macon; Judge J. G. Mc
Call, of Quitman; Dr. R. C. Woodard,
of Adel, and <M. S. Canty, of Ashburn.
Practically a full attendance of the ex
ecutive committee was present for the
meeting.

Southern Army
Aviator Falls
To His Death
Lieutenant Loren H, Call, of
Missouri, Flies Into “Warm
Air Current'’ in Texas
(By Associated Press.)
HOUSTON, Tex., July 10.—Lieutenant
Loren H. Call, of the United States army
aviation corps, was killed instantly
about 6 o'clock this morning by the
collapse and fall of his aeroplane just
north of Texas City. He had started
his flight from the aviation field in the
Second army division mobilization camp.
Lieutenant Call was regarded as one
of the best army aviators. Yesterday
he made a twenty-five-mile flight in
twenty-five minutes. He was engaged in
a practice flight today when he met
death.
Lieutenant Call was born in Missouri.
June 30, 1888, and appointed a second
lieutenant in the coast artillery from
Kansas, September 25, 1909. He was
promoted to first lieutenant July 1, 1911.
Warm Air Hole Causes
Machine to Tumble
TEXAS CITY. July 10.—The dangerous
thing known to aviators as “warm air
current” is held responsible for the in
stant death today of Lieutenant Loren
H. Call, of the aviation corps, of the
second division of the United States
army, stationed here.
About two hours after sunrise Lieu
tenant Call, making practice landings,
had risen from the aviation field, which
borders the gulf of Mexico, had turned
his biplane northward, away from the
water, crossing the brown tented army
city and was flying over the level tree
less stretches near the artillery camp,
which lies farthest Inland.
His machine was at an altitude of
about 500 feet, plainly visible to several
soldiers who say that it seemed to be
running smoothly, and that without
warning, it suddenly turned .its nose
downward and plunged almost straight
to the earth.
The impact broke nearly every bone
in the young aviator’s body, making
kindling of his machine and wedging
its fragments so tightly about his crum
pled body that it was difficult to take
out his inanimate form.
The “warm air” theory was advanced
by other officers at the aviation camp,
who know the location over which Lieu
tenant Call was flying. The accident
occurred shortly after 7 o’clock.
While a board will be named to in
vestigate, the view is expressed that
nothing remains about the wreckage to
show the real cause of the mishap.
PAINTER POLICIES NDT
PAID Bf PENN MUTRAL
Insurance Herald, of Atlanta,
Says Only One Old Policy
Was Paid
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.. July 10.—Some
days ago it was announced that the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance company
had paid its $100,000 policies on the life
of the late E. O. Painter. This week
the Insurance Herald, of Atlanta, has
this to say:
“A usually authoritative source of in
formation last week caused us to carry
an item to the effect that the Penn Mu
tual had paid the entire claim of about
$100,000 of the estate of the late E. O.
Painter, of Jacksonville, who is gener
ally believed to have committed suicide
a few weeks ago. It appears at this
time that this was an error and that
the Penr* Mutual merely paid a few
thousand of insurance taken out more
than a year ago and returned about
$1,700 that had been paid to it as pre
miums on the new policies.”
When asked about the article the
Painter lawyers refused to talk saying
that they would continue to remain si
lent on all matters connected with the
insurance.
HORSE RAGING AGAIN
IN GEORGIA THIS FALL
Ponies Will Run for $5,700
Purse in Macon at State
Fair
MACON, Ga., July 10.—Horse racing
will be one of the major attractions at
the coming state fair to he- held here
this fall. A string of the best racers
in the grand circuit have been booked
for the Macon track during the mid
dle of the fair. The premiums offered
for races this year total $5,700, the con
solation race alone providing for a pre
mium of $800.
The fair association does not expect
to make money out of receipts from

the racing dates. Secretary Robert
says that more than 150 horses will be
sent here.
IN. F. M’GQMBS UNDER
KNIFE FOR APPENDICITIS
Operation ferformed in Paris
Successful-French Appoint
ment Still Open
(By Associated Press.)
PARIS, July 10.—The condition today
of William F. McCombs, chairman of
the Democratic national committee, is
declared most satisfactory by the sur
geon in attendance. His progress to
ward recovery from the operation for
appendicitis he underwent here today
was said to be normal, but in view of
his delicate constitution, it was stated
he would require several days of com
plete rest.
Mr, McCombs Was Suffering
When He Went to Paris
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, July 10.—William F.
McCombs, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, regarded as the
probable new ambassador to France,
was operated upon yesterday for ap
pendicitis at a private hospital in Paris,
according to advices received here. The
operation is reported to have been
successful and no complications are ex
pected.
Mr. McCombs went to Paris lately,
knowing that he was suffering from
appendicitis, but hopeful that a rest
abroad would eliminate the necessity
for an operation. It is recalled that dur
ing the national campaign last sum
mer Mr. McCombs was so ill that he
had to give up the work temporarily
and retire to the mountains for his
health. He was unable to return to his
work before the election, but since then
has not enjoyed good health.
Mr. McCombs declined the ambassa
dorship to France, when it was first
offered to him on the ground that he
could not afford to give up his law
practice. President Wilson then express
ed regret that the provision made by
this country for its ambassadors was in
adequate. Since Mr. McCombs’ refusal
President Wilson has nominated no one
else for the post, and it is said that
the administration hopes to overcome
Mr. McCombs’ objection and to prevail
on him to accept the appointment.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MACON, Ga., July 10.—More than forty
cases have been postponed at this session
of the superior court because of the
leaves of absence granted lawyers. Sev

HI! OFFICERS PISE
TEXAS DIVISION CAMP
General Carter Says San
itary Methods of Big
Camp Are Perfect
TEXAS CITY, Tex., July 10.—
What army officers say is the
best organized, best trained and
healthiest military camp in the
world stretches for two miles
along the Gulf of Mexico shore
here. Four months ago the site
of this camp was virtually a
swamp. This transformation is
one of several big achievements
of the American soldiers sent here
last February for the mobiliza
tion of the Second division of the
United States army, the first of
the new divisions brought together
in »this country.
Major General William H. Car
ter, commanding the Second divi
sion, United States army, said to
day:
“The division here and at Gal
veston comprises one-third of the
infantry strength of the United
States army and, with artillery,
cavalry and signal corps, makes
nearly 12,000 men. Bringing the
division together has taught the
officers and men the intimate
needs of a big organization. When
the commands comprising the va
rious divisions go back to their
various posts and are ordered to
reassemble for any service what
ever, the commanding general can
issue a single order which will
cover the entire equipment of ev
ery man, whether for northern or
southern or over seas service.
SANITARY METOHDS PER
FECT.
“The Second division is now in
excellent shape. The soldiers are
sturdy^ types of American man
hood, equal to any in the world.
The whole division, with bag
gage. could be ready to go abbard
trains or transports before the
cars could be sidetracked or the
transports ready to cast off.
“Probably the one most impor
tant accomplishment for the
American people has been the
demonstration of sanitary stand
ards. It has certified the methods
tested at San Antonio in 1911,
when 14,000 men assembled as a
maneuver division. We have now
been here four months, and not
one case of typhoid has developed,
when we came we were told that
this was a swamp.
“We could train twice as many
men here without increase of of
ficers. We believe the United
States does not need a large army
such as maintained by European
countries, but a few regularly or
ganized and equipped divisions,
such as this, distributed over the
country at points where they
could be readily available for over
sea service and as models for our
volunteer citizen soldiery, upon
which this country must rely,
would more than repay their
cost.”
Brigadier General C. H. Ed
wards, commanding the Sixth
brigade, has worked out the night
attack formation by which, with
the use of rope to help keep the
commands in touch, over 2,000
men one pitch-dark night marched
out of camp without awakening
any one, went two miles, led by
only two guides, and approached
within thirty yards of an en
trenchment before the officers in
it, who were waiting for the at
tack. knew of the enemy’s ap
proach. The center of the attack
ing line struck within ten yards
of the center of the entrench
ment.
OFFICERS COMPETE FOR
PLAGE IN AERO CORPS
Undismayed by Lieut, Call’s
Death, “Shave-Tails” Fight
for His Post
TEXAS CITY. Tex., July 10.-—Conflict
ing testimony about the cause and man
ner of Lieutenant Loren H. Call’s fall
to death in his biplane here yesterday
has developed among the 200 persons
who witnessed it.
The investigating board expects to
complete its report tonight, but this is
not to be made public unless given
out in Washington.
Some of the spectators assert a series
of explosions preceded the aeroplane’s
fall. Others dispute eyewitness stories
that Call hung beneath his machine by
the handrail, claiming they saw the bi
plane turn over and over.
Lieutenant Call’s body will be ship
ped to his father, Judge L. W. Call, In
Washington and interment, will be in-
the national cemetery at. Arlington. It
is said that despite the long list of
army aviation fatalities many young
offlqprs have already filed applications
for detail to the vacancy in the aero
squadron caused by Call’s death.
Live Stock is Treated
Better Than Men, Says
American Med. Leader
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 10.—Making
the dedicational address at the corner
stone laying for the Galloway Memorial
hosital yesterday afternoon Dr. J. A.
Witherspon, president of the American
Medical association, termed the action
of the federal government in appropriat
ing $50,000,000 for looking after the
country’s live stock and a mere pittance
for looking after the men and women
of the country a disgrace to civilization.
“Thank God,’ the speaker said, “that
I happen to be at the head of an As
sociation of 93,000 physcians -who are
making a great fight to prevent disease
in this country. And, ladies and gentle
men, let me say to you we are not go
ing to stop till the government realizes
that the health of our people is at least
as important as that of the live stock.”
The new hospital is a Southern
Methodist institution to cost $575,000.

KANSAS STOCK INFECTION
DUE TO POISONOUS FUNGI
(By Associated Press.)
TOPEKA, Kas., July 10.—That the
plague which killed more than 25,000
horses and mules in Kansas last year
was not an infectious disease but due
to a poison, was the report today of the
special commission of the University
of Kansas, appointed by the governor
to investigate. The report stated that
there was no known cure for the ail
ment from which the animals suffered
and that the climatic conditions which
produced it probably will not prevail
again in many years.
A parasitic fungi growing on the
grains and other vegetation caused the
death of animals, according to the re
port, and the poisonous conditions in
the pastures was due to the excessive
moisture and humidity accompaied by
high temperatures.

BOTH SWALLOW POISON
(By . Associated Press.)

hopeful today for the ultimate recovery
of John L. Peltrowitz and the young

PITTSBURG QUIET AFTER
TWO BIG BANKS SUSPEND
Run on Savings Bank, Caused
by Failures, Being Met
Effectively
(By Associated Press.)
PITTSBURG, Pa., July 10.—When the
banking day opened here there was lit
tle to indicate that there had been a
period of financial anxiety over the fail
ure of two banks yesterday and the ap
pointing of receivers for a large bank
ing house and an extensive industrial
enterprise.
No unusual scenes were observed
about other banks of the city with the
exception of the Pittsburg Bank for
Savings, another bank controlled by J.
S. and W. S. Kuhn, who controlled the
majority of stock in the two banks
which were closed yesterday.
The run on the savings institution
started by yesterday’s failures was re
sumed this morning, but all depositors
were paid $50 at once and notices of
thirty, sixty gmd ninety days for larger
amounts were required.
With the asurance of several millions
in cash and quick asets on hand, the
run on this bank doubtless will not
prove serious. In fact, bankers of
Kuhn connections assert that the sav
ings bank will weather the situation
and make all payments as demanded,
with the result that at the expiration
of the time for notice of withdrawals
public confidence will be restored.
About the First-Second National bank
this morning large groups of foreigners
were gathered, copying from the doors
of the foreign banking department the
notice of the closing by the government
posted in sixteen different languages.
A meeting of the Clearing House as
sociation is called for later In the day.
No intimation has been given of the
purpose of the meeting, but some state
ment is expected regarding the closing
of the First-Second National bank.
J. S. and W. S. Kuhn this morning
resigned as president and vice president
respectively of the Pittsburg Bank for
Savings, at which a run is being di
rected. The following officers were
elected to take charge of the bank.
W. J. Jones, president; L. M. Plumer,
vice president; A. N. Voegtley, secretary
and treasurer.
MORE PERSONAL EFFORT
IN SELECTING TEACHERS
(By Associated Press.) p
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 10.—
The need of considering the personal el
ement ih selecting leaders in school work
