■ v -'\" 1 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1913; 3 IE: TO 10 DEAD, ONE DYING ON THE CURRENCY RIEL Maniac Calls Family and Says • "We'll All Die To gether" BLOOMINGTON, Ind„ Sept. 22.— Mack Hurst, fifty years old, a stone ma son, early today blew up his home here with dynamite, killing himself and his seventeen-year-old daughter, Maude, se riously injuring two other daughters— Fannie, thirteen, and Elizabeth, six— and stunning his wife. Hurst had been separated from his wife for six weeks, and yesterday she refused to take him back. It is believed that he then, in a fit of insanity, de termined to kill his entire family, con sisting of his wife and eight children. The dead girl met the fate intended for her mother, and the fact that they had changed beds for the night cost the daughter her life. Hurst, after stealth ily planting a stick of dynamite tinder - each of the three beds in the house, tied two sticks to his own body and crawled into the bed which he had formerly oc cupied with his wife, but which last night contained the three daughters, Maude. Fannie and Elizabeth. Fannie heard her father getting into the bed and spoke to him. “Lie still,” Hurst replied. “We will all die to gether.” Before the girl could move, the ex plosion rent the house and aroused the city. The police and fire departments rushed to the scene, removed the bodies "of Hurst and one daughter, and sent tfie two injured girls to the hospital. Senate Committee Invites Frank T. Vanderlip, of New York Smoke of Herbs For Catarrh A Simple, Pleasant, Reliable Way and It Costs Nothing to Try. This preparation of herbs, flowers and seeds (containing no tobacco or habit-forming drugs) is smoked in an ordinary clean pipe or cigarette. Sim ply draw; the medicated smoke into the mouth and inhale into the lungs or send it out through the nostrils in a per fectly natural way. It is net unpleasant, is harmless and can be used by man, woman or child. Just as catarrh is contracted by breathing cold or dust and germ-laden air, just so this balmy antiseptic smok ing remedy goes to the affected air pas sages of the head, nose, throat and lungs.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—The bank ing and currency committee of the sen ate. preparing to continue its hearings on the administration currency bill jls passed by the house, today decided to invite Frank T. Vanderlip, president of the National City bank of New York, to discuss the measure before the com mittee. Later Vice President Talbott. Of the same institution, will be invited to appear. The committee lias decided in the future to have in attendance an ex pert. from the office of the comptroller of the currency to keep the committee straight on technical questions during the examination of witnesses. Monday the committee will hear Samuel Untermyer. who, as attorney for the Pujo sub-committee of the house banking and* currency committee, conducted the extensive money trust investigation of the last cortgress. W. W. Flanagan, of Montclair, N. J., was before the committee today. He approved the bill in principle, but sug gested a number of amendments. His examination developed an inclination on the part of Senators Reed, of Missouri, and Hitchcock, of Nebraska, to question various provisions of the measure. Sen ator Hitchcock questioned the banker closely as to the possibility of the pro posed federal reserve board expanding and contracting credit throughout the country to suit its political purposes and of the regional reserve banks ex ercising a baneful influence over mem ber .^anks through the regulation of loand ahd discounts. On the latter points Senator Reed asked several questions indicating that he feared that the power conferred on the regional banks would enable them to dominate not only the banks, but the industrial institutions in their dis tricts. Mr. Flanagan said he expected no such evil results from the operations of the bill. DETROIT POLICE MAY HAVE $372,000 ROBBER (By Associated Press.)

C., more than a year ago. Houlihan carried $350 in Bank of Montreal bills when taken into custody and it is alleged that the bills answer the description of the money taken in the New Westminister robbery.

ARNOLD WATOM CO.. Dept. 927, CHICAGO. IU-w TRIAL- ONE TR VRE Hearing, Which Concluded Shortly After Midnight Fri day, Showed Gov. Slaton Doubtful of Granting Pardon If anything was indicated by the ques tions of Governor John M. Slaton during the argument of attorneys in behalf of Dr. W. J. McNaughton Friday it was that the governor then doubted pro foundly if he had any reason to show clemency to the convicted man. Very frankly the governor put his doubts to Attorney John W. Bennett, of Way cross, and Attorney Frank H. Saffold, of Swainsboro. Being unham pered by the restrictions which bind law courts, the chief executive ques tioned and argued openly. It was evi dent that he had been impressed by the case on record against Dr. McNaughton and had remained unimpressed by the new points which the defense sought to stress. “What was the arsenic doing in Fred Flanders’ system? Where did it come from?” asked the governor, leaning on his elbows upon the table and smiling into the face of Attorney Bennett, who sat opposite to him. “Now, w r e don’t know that,” said Mr. Bennett. “That’s all there is to this case.” Later, when the point arose again during the colloquy between them, Mr. Bennett < f stulated, “But that’s put ting the b^.uen upon the defense, when the law puts it on the state. We sug gest merely what might have been true.” “If you have the situation that Is proven to have existed in that house, supplying the motive, and if you have the opportunity which Dr. McNaughton is shown to have possessed, do you still consider that it is putting the bur den on the defense?” asked the gov ernor. “We have shown that it was possible he took some arsenic in medicine at Thomasville, or in pills at home, that Dr. McNaughton didn’t know a thing about,’’ said Mr. Bennett. “The burden's on the state. We haven’t got to show positively how the arsenic got there. Why, scientists say there’s arsenic even in vegetables, in beans.” Governor Slaton smiled. “And you know they say there’s gold in the ocean, Mr. Bennett. But you know conjecture like that is not a reasonable thing to be considered in a case like this.” Mr. Bennett suggested that arsenic appears principally in about all of the prescriptions that are given for ma larial fever. He admitted that the record might not touch upon that pos sibility. “But this man Flanders had no fever,” said Governor Slaton. “Dr. Mc Naughton himself said repeatedly that he didn’t have fever.” Mr. Bennett declared that Attorney Saffold had talked with Dr. Green Bell (the Only other physician who saw Flanders during the latter’s last ill ness), and that Dr. Bell said ,Flanders had uraemic poisoning, and that the poison was in his system. He offered that the laymen who had testified that Dr. Bell said Flanders had been poi soned mignt easily have misinterpreted what the physician meant. Governor Slaton remarked there that months before Flanders died, or in March, 1910, Dr. McNaughton had given a certificate that Flanders' kidneys and other organs were in perfect condition. TELLS ROW MILK BE KEPT URGES GERMANY TO COME TO EXPOSITION (By Associated Press.) BERLIN. Sept. 22.—Representative Richard Bartholdt, of Missouri, who is staying at Bad Herzburg, w’rote today to the Cologne Gazette and the Frank fort Gazette; urging reconsideration of Germany’s d-ecision not to participate in the Pananm^-Pacific exposition at San Francisco in 1915, as this is, he points out, a deflection from Emperor William’s policy of cementing the friendship between the two countries. America, he says, is entitled to ex pect participation by those seafaring nations, which partly make their living out of her. He declares it unwise for Germany to miss an opportunity of proving that the fatherland is a better friend of the United States than is England. Private participation in the exposition, no matter on how extensive a scale would be, he concludes, insuffi cient and Germany must take part offi cially. State Commissioner of Agri culture Issues Bulletin to Dairymen In an effort to purify the milk sup ply. not only of Atlanta but of Geor gia in general. James D. Price, Geor gia’s commissioner of agriculture, has issued circular No. 1, containing timely suggestions to producers and dealers for improvement in the quality of milk. These circulars are being distributed throughout the state as a warning to any infringement on the laws. Where had conditions are found to exist, these suggestions are offered for the bene fit of the offender, that he may rectify any defects within a reasonable length of time, thereby saving himself the trouble of being disciplined. It is the duty of the inspectors on their rounds to notify any dairyman should any unlawful conditions exist in his dairy and warn him to make the proper corrections or take the con sequences. It is the intention of Mr. Price to give the, dealers and producers a fair showing at the outset, with the express understanding, however, that pure milk only must be sold in the fu ture. To those who persist in break ing the law, punishment is promised. First among the standards as set for ward in the bulletin is that of fat as follows: "The legal standard of fat in this state is 3.25 per cent. All ordinary cows give milk containing between 3.25 and 6 per cent, and it is only in excep tional cases that pure milk will be eith er above or below these limits. If the farmer has cows that give a poor er grade than 3.25 per cent he should get rid of them at once, since they are unprofitable.” , . In another section the pamphlet goes into the matter of visible dirt in the tollowing manner: ••Milk should always be clean. In re ports from the state laboratory the re port of ’slight dirt’ is not infrequent. The term ‘slight dirt’ means that a few visible specks of dirt are found by fil tering the milk through cotton. “Although no dirt at all should be present, tt frequently happens that milk produced under good conditions will oc casionally show dirt, and a single re port of this sort has little significance. If the report ’slight dirt’ comes back constantly, however, it indicates un due carelessness. If the milk is re ported ‘dirty’ or ‘Very dirty’ it always indicates that something is wrong in the handling of the milk, and in such cases attention should be given to re move the cause of the trouble. AH dirt cannot be strained out of milk, and the only remedy is to prevent the dirt from getting into the milk rath er than by trying to remove it.” USE COVERED PAIL. The rules for avoiding contamination by dirt are four in number: “1. Use a covered milk pail which has only a small opening for the en trance of the milk. These pails are on the market and are the most important single device for reducing the amount of dirt that gets intp milk. “2. See that the air of the milking room is clean and pure. To prevent dust the cows should not he fed before or during milking. ”3. Keep the cows clean by proper washing and brushing of the flanks. It is more important to keep the cow clean than the horse, though the con trary is usually the custom. Since the largest part of the dirt comes from the filth attached to the cow it may be mostly avoided if the cow is kept clean and the milk pail covered. ”4. After milking cover the milk with a cover which will allow no dirt to enter.” ' An important point set forward is the danger of disease from bacteria in milk. Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever and other dangerous diseases are cited as being directly traceable to impure milk on many occasions. Declaring the number of bacteria present in milk is the result of a com bination of factors, the report con tinues: “A high bacterial count will be found if the milk has become badly contami nated with filth, if it is kept too warm and if the milk is too old. A high bacteria count therefore indicates either excessive contamination, excessive tem jjerature or excessive age, of a combi nation of these factors.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Postmas- as a financial asset has never been con sidered seriously, but S. P. Adams’ in come from his big pond near Pavo has rivalled that of a cotton planter this week. For several weeks he has adver tised in the papers that he would drain his pond on a certain date and would sell tickets for $1 each to persons who wanted to take fish. On the day set people came from all the surrounding country in automobiles, buggies, wagons. A large party went from Quitman and they said there were between 3,000 and 5,000 people there. The sale of tickets amounted to about $2,000 and at a low estimate 35,000 pounds of fish were taken from the pond. The pond covered a large area; the tickets were sold for the privilege of entering it and taking the fish as the waters receded. One man paid $1 for a ticket and afterward sold his string of fish for $7. The pond was drained solely for the purpose of getting the fish, with which it was so plentifully stocked. People who like to figure out such things, estimate that a good pond like this is equivalent to a fund of $60,- 000 In the bank drawing interest, and as ponds are easy of attainment in south Georgia, It represents very little outlay. However, a pond can only be drained in this manner for fish every three or four years. 7 hough Discharged, Detective Kept on A nd Got His Man NEW YORK, Sapt. 32.—Patrick Reil ly, arrested In Adrian, N.

Who Tells Catarrh Sufferers How He Conquered This Foul Monster How Cxygen Stops Catarrh You probably know what Oxygen Is. It is the Life-giving, Life-sustaining element of the air we breathe. It is Oxygen that purifies our blood —takes from it the poisons that, otherwise, would contaminate our bodies. Without Oxygen wo would die—every living thing would die— birds, flowers, animals—everything. Possibly you already know this. But the fact that this same Oxygen can be directed to the cure of Catarrh, and similar distressing, dis gusting ailments, may be news to you. It was new to me until I discovered the means for prop erly directing Oxygen to the cure of my own Catarrh. I had suffered for many years from that loath some, nateful disease (Catarrh) which manifests itself In the most uncomfortable and conspicuous ways—in hawking, spitting, foul breath, bad taste, frequent and disagreeable blowing of the nose, coughs, irritating colds and the most dis tressing stomach troubles; not to mention ca tarrhal deafness, head noises and over-sensitive ness to heat and cold. Undoubtedly I tried everything you ever tried. You know the result—the disappointing result— as well as I. You have probably tried vapors, creams, sprays, salves, smoke, steam, injections, electricity, vibration, massage, atomizers, inhal ers and other appliances, plasters, staying in the house, land and sea trips, all to no purpose. You know the things that failed for you, failed for me. Being naturally of a cleanly habit, I was em barrassed and shamed by the hateful evidences of a disease I could not master—a stealthy, per sistent disease that was surely undermining my constitution, my disposition and my ability. I was shunned by social and business acquaint ances, and could not blame them, for I knew that aside from the nauseating habits brought ou by my affliction, my breath must be as of fensive as the taste in my mouth. Oxygen did this—for me Oxygen will do it—for you I WILL TELL YOU HOW—FREE No Salves, Steam, Spray, Creams or Vapors, No Atomizers, oi Apparatus of Any Kind. Nothing to Smoke, Burn or Chew. No Electricity, Vibration or Massage, No Inhalers or Plasters OXYGEN —The Vital Principle of the Air, Heals 24 Hours You Too Can Be Free I spent hundreds of dollars seeking for a cure. And when, at last, I did find a cure, it was pure, healthful, powerful but harmless Oxygen. Oxygen, the healing force that had been at my elbow—ready to my hand, waiting to he direct ed to my cure. Having known your despair, I sympathize with your affliction of mind and body. I can only imagine how horribly distasteful Catarrhal con ditions must be to refined women. I know why Catarrh sufferers shun society—why they are un popular—why they are unsought—why they seek always for relief. I know also that there is re lief ‘‘ready to the hand” of every Catarrh suf ferer. I want to help them find this relief- men and women alike—as I have found it. I might make a secret of this method of ap plying Oxygen, and could possibly sell such a I secret for a considerable sum. But I will not do that. I will tell you all about it—how Free Oxygen may be directed to the seat of your trouble—directed to your relief. I'm not going to charge one cent for this information, valuable as it may be. I firmly Itelleve that Oxygen, used In the manner I will describe, will stop catarrh of any kind over night. I have never known a case where the sufferer employed prop erly applied Oxygen and failed. More than this; I have known hundreds of cases of Asthma, Hay Fever, Bronchitis. Foul Breath, Bad Taste, Hoarseness, Colds in Head and Throat, affec tions of the Larynx and Tonsils, Stomach. In testinal and Lung Troubles, that have found relief over night, from the proper application of Free Oxygen. I know that Catarrh sufferers have been read ing advertisements that offer “catarrh cures’* for years. I have done this myself. I have tried every reasonable-sounding remedy, and know that most advertised remedies are abso lutely useless—a waste of money—and even the best of them give no more than temporary re lief. I do not know any surer way to reach Catarrh sufferers quickly, and offer them this means of relief, than by an advertisement of this kind.

You need not tell me your history Uor the condition of your finunees—whether or not you are able or willing to pay much or little for a cure. I don’t care about these things— they do not interest me. If I already kuew your name and address, I would not wait for you to ask me—I would send the information you need, at once, without you'* request, permission or consent—knowing It would be valuable to you—trusting you would think no less of it because Is was free.

Issues in By-Elections Are Drawn About Party Lines Results of Elections to Fill House Vacancies to Bring Another Test of Democratic Strength (By RALPH SMITH.) MUSKEGON, Mich., Sept. 22.—At* gressional by-election of the present fall should throw some significant light on the question of whether the disposition of anti-Democratic elements in American politics to get together once more, as they did in the recent congressional election in Maine, is to continue. There are now five house va cancies, and in three of them the issues will be made as squarely as they were in the recent campaign in Maine. The otner two districts are in New %ork City, and safely Democratic, and there fore the Republicans and the Progres sives will not pay particular attention them. The house vacancies are In the fol lowing states: West Virginia, first district. This va cancy was caused by the appointment of Representative John W. Davis to be solicitor general in the Wilson ad ministration. New York, thirteenth and twentieth districts. The vacancy in the former district was caused by the demise of “Big Tim” Sullivan, and in the latter by the appointment of Representative Francis Burton Harrison to be governor general of the Philippines. These dis tricts are Democratic by safe margins. Maryland, third district. The vacancy here was caused by the demise of Rep resentative George Konig. Massachusetts, third district. The de mise of Representative William H. Wilder caused the vacancy in this dis trict. ELECTION OCTOBER 14. The election in West Virginia will fall on October 14; there is a general purpose, if preliminaries can be ar ranged, to fill the other four vacancies at the regular elections in November. In New York this will certainly be done, it is said, and plans to that end are being made in both Massachusetts and Maryland. Roosevelt carried the first West Vir ginia district last year, receiving 13,- 222 votes, to 12,688 for Taft. Mr. Davis was elected to congress at that time by a plurality of 130 over an oppo- ment who styled himself a Republican progressive. Five or six years ago the district was safely Republican, by ma jorities ranging from 3,000 to 4,000. Wheeling is the principal town in the district, and throughout all the coun ties the manufacturing interests are ex tensive, including paper mills, glass factories, potteries, iron and steel founderies, etc. There is also a large trade in wool. All these items are seri- j ously affected by the new tariff, for j which reasons the Republicans expect to carry the district by an old time ma- ; jority. The Democrats, so far as can j be learned here, are not seriously dis- j puting that the district will elect a Re publican, but they hope it will be by so narrow a margin as to prevent a repetition of what took place recently in Maine. A result in favor of amal gamation as it was shown to be in Blaine, would be of the utmost political j Mad Bull Drives Man To Tree-Tops; Then Forest Fire Begins importance. The third Maryland district is a part of the city of Baltimore, and years ago it was safely Republican. The tariff will be the chief issue in this district also, and the Republicans are quite hopeful either of success, or of cutting down the Democratic plurality. The Democrats, however, claim they will hold their own. The Third Massachusetts district has been Republican for many years. It slumped quite heavily in 1910, owing to popular dissatisfaction with some of the Taft policies, and Representative Wilder was elected by a plurality of only ISO, but last November his plurality was increased to 3,203, in the face of the fact that a third party organization was at work.* The Republicans seem con fident of more than holding their own in this district in November, and of giving renewed emphasis to the ten dency of their party to unite. INTEREST WIDESPREAD. How it will all come out nobody knows at this time, but there is enough of practical politics in these three dis tricts outside of New York City to give their approaching congressional cam paigns much interest everywhere. It Is noticeable that this interest is just as marked among Democrats and Progress ives as among Republicans. West Vir ginia is a good deal like Maine in one respect. The revolt against old-line Re publicanism was particularly strong there last year, and the Progressives, in consequence, polled a heavy vote. The Republicans carried the Third Maine dis trict recently because they adopted many of the Progressives policies and styled themselves Progressive Republi cans. Last year the Republicans were a poor third in the same district. The plans of the Progressive congres sional committee as announced this week are to place a congressional can didate in the field in every district next year, and in the five districts referred to in this article. The outcome of the elections this year, however, will have more to say about the future of the Progressive party than any statements given out at this time by its congres sional committee. If the party can hold its own in the 1913 elections that are yet to come, thus offsetting in large degree the effect of what happened to it in Maine, it will be able to go into the campaign of 1914 with a good deal of confidence. But If tne five districts which are to choose congressmen in a short time, repeat, in whole or In part, what took place in Maine, the Progress ive party in the 1914 canfpaign will probably not be a serious factor. Pro gressive managers seem confident that their party is to hold its own in the five districts. This is disputed by the Republicans and the Democrats. Only the count of the ballots can determine which claim is correct. $1.00 Package Free Quickly restores gray or farted hair to natural color, removes dandruff, stops failing hair anti itching scalp.
