. Big Tree Burning
For Eight Months
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.. • Oct. 30.—On
he farm of James Crow, near Era,
•here is the' remnant of a monster elm
:ree that has been on fire and burning
t.eadily' since last March.
The tree caught fire early in March
when the debris on some new ground
was being burned. Sparks from the
burning brush flew up into the top of
the elm and ignited some moss. This in
turn set fire to the wood of the tree.
The interior of the tree was in that con
dition known as “doty,” and the fire,
once started, has burned slowjy ever
since, eating its way down toward the
» ground.
In July the tree burned through and
broke off at a height of about ten feet
from the ground. Since then the fire
das eaten away more on the exterior of
':he tree andn is more apparent. Now it
has worked down into the roots, but v
still burning, and those who have seen
it say that it will probably be burning
at Christmas unless it should be put
-at by an unusually heavy rain.

ALL-NIGHT DEBATE
Nearly 200 Persons Sat
Throughout Tedious Night
Awaiting Verdict—Mrs. Eaton
Smiles When Acquitted

charge of murder of her husband, Rear
Admiral Joseph G. Eaton, by verdict of
the jury rendered at 5:10 o’clock this
morning.
The jury had retired at 6 o’clock last

ed little prospect as the night wore on
of a verdict before morning, a crowd
of nearly 200 persons sat out the tedious
night. Mrs. Eaton awaited the verdict
composedly and smiled when she heard
the foreman of the jury pronounce her
“not guilty.”
Mrs. Eaton had sat up in a private
room at the court house until 2 o’clock
thi§ morning. Then she was permitted
to go to the judge’s lobby, where she
was left on a couch until awakened at
4:30 and summoned to the court room.
Of the 200 persons who remained all
night to hear the verdict a few were
women.
After the foreman had announced the
verdict, Chief Justice Aiken warned the
jurors to keep secret the proceeding
in the jury room.
After Mrs. Eaton had left the court
room the jurors through their foreman
asked that they be allowed to meet her.
The*permission was granted and they
formed a semi-circle in the corridor.
Mrs. Eaton came out from the judge’s
lobby and thanked 'them individually.
As she did so she burst into tears for
the first time since her trial started.

Tiger Roams Streets of
Town, No One’s Afraid
William Holcomb, of Stanton, Mich.,
has a pet in the person of a Sputh
American tiger, measuring fifty-four
inches from tip to tip and nearly twen
ty-four inches in height, he captured
while on a government job four years
ago. The tiger is tame and pjayruv
and roams at large, not only in the
Holcomb household but also in the vil
lage streets. Children play with it
and grown-ups stop to pet it and
stroke its spotted fur.
The tiger does various stunts, and
Holcomb is always ready to show it
off. It is regarded as a pet by every
one except the dogs. When a dog
comes in sight the cat arches its back
and spits and snarls, and Mr. Dog
takes the other side of the street.
Recently a bull terrior with a reputa,-
tion as a fighter was trotting past the
Holcomb home when he spied the tiger
and growled a challenge. *The tiger
A answered with a snarl.
Immediately there was a mixup, but
it lasted only a moment. The terrier,
bleeding from myriad scratches from
the tiger’ claws, stuck its tail between
its legs and streaked it around the
earest corner.
Holcomb has arranged with the. pro
prietor of a cattery to cross the tiger
with an Angora cat. He hopes thus to
produce an animal that will be an ideal
pet.

on the conjugal back has been upheld
by Superior Judge Presle, of North

warm my feet,” she asked the ujdge.
“You certainly have,” was the judicial

Appoints Special Committee
to Carry Out Judge Charl
ton’s Charge to Enforce Law
SAVANNAH, Ga., Oct. 30.—At last It
seems Chatham county is really going
to pay some attention to the alleged il
legal sale of liquor. At the meeting of
the grand jury yesterday afternoon Cap
tain F. D. Bloodworth, foreman, an
nounced the appointment of a special
committee.
It was simply announced as the “com
mittee on judges’ charge,” but as the
judge's charge was made up almost en
tirely of a demand that something be
done to stop the illegal sale of bad
liquor in Savannah and Chatham coun
ty, it is believed this committee will
take the matter in hand vigorously. It
will go to Tybee and inspect conditions
down there.
The commanding officer of Fort
Screven has made vigorous' complaint
against the illegal sale of liquor outside
the reservation there.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MOULTRIE, Ga., Oct. 3.0.—The con
gressional campaign in the Second dis-
the time for- the
special election draws near. This is
the closing week of campaign and the
race is taking shape, while the candi
dates and their friends are making san
guine claims.
The Covington people have been pos
sibly less noisy and more conservative
in their claims, they say, than the other
candidates and their friends, but the
Covington people say they are more se
cure in their claims and are more spe
cific in the territory claimed.
The local Covington campaign com
mittee asserts that Covington will get
nearly enough votes on the eastern side
of Flint river to assure his election,
while they claim pluralities in two
counties on the western side of the dis
trict and are sure of a heavy vote In
the other counties on the western side
of the district that promises to give a
plurality to other candidates.
Woman Makes $3,000
A Year With Cat Farm
Four stray cats followed Miss Eliza
Trobridge, of Chicago, as she walked
along the street one day two years ago.
The young woman stopped and spoke to
them and they purreM in ecstacy and
mewed and rubbed against her skirt.
They were gaunt, pathetic and hungry
looking. Miss Trobridge took them home
with her.
That event marked the starting of a
cat farm in the outskirts of Chicago
from which Miss Trobridge cleared more
than $3,000 last year, and won several
prizes at cat shows. The “farm” is a
little suburban place on one acre, and

Mrs. Alsop Arrested for
Refusing to Pay for Taxi;
Charged With Drunkenness
BY BALPK SMITH.
WASHINGTON -petr 307—Mbs'. Ed
ward B. Alsop. who Miss Effle Pope
Hill, of Washington, Ga., was arrested
in New York last night for refusing to
pay a taxicab bill. Her arrest is the
subject of interesting stories in today’s
New York papers. The World publishes
the following on its front page:
“Tripping from Maxim’s restaurant,
Thirty-eighth street and Sixth avenue,
late yesterday afternoon, a beautifully
gowned young woman ordered Hum
phrey Courtney, a driver for a taxicab
company of No. 160 West 101st street, to
take her to Bustanoby’s.
“Courtney drove to Bustanoby’s and
was told by his fare to wait. She ap
peared a few minutes later and or
dered him to drive to the Hotel Ansonia,
Seventy-third street and Broadway. T
live there,’ she said. At the Ansonia
the young woman alighted and went In
side. The chauffeur followed and from
the clerk learned that she did not live
there. Courtney went to her and de
manded $1.80.
“Lieutenant Sackett teelphoned the
Waldorf-Astoria for Edward B. Alsop,
and half hour later a man, verging on
eighty, with white beard and hair and
leaning heavily on a cane, entered the
station and asked to see Mrs. Alsop.
“She had been taken to the rear by
the matron, who in searching her found
not money but jewelry etsimated to be
worth $9,000. She still was with the ma
tron when she heard the old man’s voice.
She caipe out, and throwing her arms
about him. cried:
“ ‘Oh dad! Oh dad! I have committed
no crime. Please don’t let them take mo
away.’
“ ‘No, litle girl,’ he replied, ‘it will
be all right.’
“Mr. Alsop then asked to be allowed
to’ go back for" his wife. He was told
she would not be admitted to bail, but
sent to night court. As she was being led
away again she said to the matron: ‘If
they put me in a cell I’ll kill myself.’
“Mr. Alsop, who is a multi-millionaire
steel manufacturer of Pittsburg, was
almost four times the age of Effle Pope
Hill when he married her, February 15,
1912, in Trinity church. They met in
1910 in Toxaway, N. C., a resort owned
by Mr. Alsop.”
In the night court it was decided to
let Mrs. Alsop go free when her hus
band agreed to pay the taxi fare.
“I’ll just get you to drive me to the
Waldorf, where I live,” she laughed.
“ ‘It’s all right.’
“Courtney said he first must have the
money. The two went to the street and
the young woman became highly ex
cited and talked at such a high pitch
that Patrolmen Alles and Hartwell ran
up. A crowd gathered and she became
almost hysterical.
“The patrolmen ad,vised that she pay
the $1.80 and she cried:
“ ‘But I haven't any money. How am
I going to pay?’ She then became so
©Mcited that she was arrested and taken
in Courtney’s cab to the West Sixty-

Wants Divorce Because
Wife Loves Pet Cats
Dr. John D. James, of Detroit, Mich.,
seeking a divorce on the ground of
cats, testified that his wife kept so
many of them and made such pets of
them that they even usurped his place
in bed and often compelled him to
sleep on the floor.
“She prepared delectable repasts for
the cats, but wouldn’t cook a meal for
me,” he said. “I was forced to eat
the scraps left after the cats had had
their fill. Sne even pawned her watch
and weaumg ring when her funds ran
low to buy choice meats for the cats.”
Dr. James weighs 102 pounds, his
wife 180. She took the stand and ac
cused him of cruelty in beating her. A
titter ran around the court. “I
wouldn’t be so thin if my wife treated
me right,” said the doctor.
The court held that the menagerie
was not sufficient cause•!or divorce.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.—Herbert 8. Hock-
in was held to share with John J. Mc
Namara, the whole responsibility for the
dynamite plots by attorneys who argued
for thirty of the convicted men before
the United States circuit court of ap
peals here today. Hockin, sentenced to
six years’ imprisonment at Leaven
worth, is the only one of the thirty-
three men convicted at Indianapolis last
December who is serving out his term
without appealing. During the trial he
was accused of betraying his co-conspir-
8 tors and was abandoned by the other
defendants.
Attorney Chester H. Krum, counsel
for Frank M. Ryan and twenty-nine oth
er appellants asserted it was Hockin
and McNamara alone within the ranks
of the ironworkers’ union who undertook
to dynamite the work of “open shop”
contract ora It was these: t>wo men alone,
Mr. Krum said, who employed Ortie Mc-
Manigal and James B. McNamara to
travel about the country to blow up con
struction work. McManigal was a memr
ber of the iron workers' union but was
not an official as were Hockin and J. J.
McNamara.
Mr. Krum said President Ryan of the
Iron Workers' union and twenty-nine
other convicted men knew nothing of
the dynamite plots carried on secretly
by Hockin and J. J. McNamara, the sec
retary.

through a locked cellar door. She was
