SPECIAL COURT SESSION
FOR IRBY MURDER CASE
(By Associated Press.)
LOUIS VILE, Ga., Dec. 22.—ludge B.
T. Rawlings has issued an order calling
a special term of Supreme Court in Jef
ferson county the first day of January
for the trial of William and Gearge
Hart and Robert Paschall, negroes, for
the murder of Mrs. Seth Irby last Sun
day afternoon.
The three negroes are said to have
made detailed confessions of the crime
to Deputy Sheriff Thomas Plunkett in
Richmond county jail, last Tuesday, be-,
fore they were taken from that city
to Atlanta for safe keeping.
There still is a feeling of intense pas
sion among the country people through
out Jefferson county and, on the sur
face, it is plain that the trial could pro
ceed only under a very strong military
guard.
However, the business men of Louis
ville began immediately upon issuance
of the order by the court to work up
a sentiment throughout the county in
behalf of uninterrupted enforcement of
the law, the intention being to secure
sufficient pladges of support to insure
the holding of court without the aid of
the militia. This plan will be operated
systematically until the day the court
opens.
EXPLORER’S FRIENDS FEEL
CONFIDENT HE IS SAFE
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Men who know
Captain Robert Bartlett feel certain, in
the face of reports that his party has
met disaster and that the Karluk has
been crushed in the ice pack, that Cap
tain Bartlett is equal to any emer
gency and will be heard from soon.
Rear Admiral Peary, discoverer of the
north pole, said yesterday he nad every
confidence in Captain Bartlett and be
lieved him master of any situation.
“It is impossible to tell what has
.happened to the ship,” Rear Admiral
Peary said. -
“As long as a vessel is packed in
the ice she will not sink and even if
she should go down, when the ice pack
draws back the crew would have am-
"pic time to prepare for their escape and
preparations have been made for just
such contingencies.”
The Explorers’ club met last night
at its headquarters and passed resolu
tions expressing entire confidence in
Bartlett and Stefansson.

SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE
LIKELY IN MURDER CASE
Defense Expected to Spring a
New Theory in Trial of
Joseph Moriarity
(By Associated Press.)
TOM’S RIVER, N. J., Dec. 22.—Inter
est in the Moriarity murder trial in
creased today as time approached for
defen esto reveal its theory. The fact
that the prisoner, Joseph Moriarity,
alias William J. Lehan, has the aid of
a prominent Lakewood family sup
ported the rumor that the attorneys re
tained by his wealthy backers would
present some unexpected evidence to
.prove he had no part in the killing of
Mrs. Caroline C. Turner,
Mrs. Jasper Lynch, of Lakewood, taw
Ing personal charge of the defense, said
her only motive was to save an Inno
cent man who, she blieved, was the vic
tim of a conspiracy. Today she de
clared she was not responsible for the
report that Mrs. Turner was run down
and killed by a party of wealthy auto-
mobilists who carried the body into the
brush and then permitted suspicion to
rest on Moriarity.
There is conflicting evidence as to
the cause of Mrs. Turner’s death. The
body was found with the face half bu
ried in sand, and wounds on the face
and head might have been caused by
blows of a heavy club. Death, it Is
contended,' might have resulted either
from the blows or from suffocation.

my, will be removed from office in a
few days and his place will be taksn
by General Pascual Orozco, according to
reliable information received today.

On Mexicans on U, S, Side
PRESIDIO. Tex., Dec. 22.—An ex
change of shots between Mexican and
American soldiers on the American side
two miles west of Presidio ^ last night,
resulted in the death of Luis Orozco, a
federal regular, from the army of Gen
eral Mercado.
Orozco, who lived several hours, admit
ted, after being shot, that he and his
companions had crossed to the American
side with a note, and that when they
were halted by the American sentries
they fired.
As soon as the shooting became known
at United States army headquarters, a
warning was sent to the federal com
mander across the border that the
shooting must not be repeated.
According to eye-witnesses, the Amer
ican soldiers on duty near the place
where the shooting occurred were in
formed federal soldiers were hiding fn
a hut 300 yards from the river_ on the
American side. The Americans went to
ward the hut to investigate.
Two Mexicans rushed from the hut
and started running toward the river.
The patrol called to them to halt. The
only answer was a shot from a rifle of
one of the fleeing Mexicans. Then the
Americans returned the fire and one of
the federals dropped. The other con
tinued firing as he ran.
DENY SPANISH SUBJECTS
AIDED HUERTA’S CAUSE
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Senor
Riano, Spanish ambassador, acting un
der instructions from Madrid, formally
denied to the state department today
that Spanish subjects in Mexico aided
the Huerta cause, as contended by Gen
eral Villa, who defended his action in
confiscating Spanish property by charg
ing that Spanish residents in Chihuahua
had violated neutrality laws. The. fol
lowing statement was made public by
Acting Secretary Moore:
“Reports received at the department
of state through the Spanish embassy
deny that the Spaniards in Mexico have
taken part in politics there, arid affirm
that they have always observed the
strictest neutrality in the affairs of
Mexico. These reports also declare that
statements sent out from El Paso that
the Spaniards expelled by General Villa
had made a public statement in favor
of intervention by the United States
and have committed other acts of ques
tionable propriety relating to Mexican
affairs, are untrue.”

Blind Helen Keller Brings Message
Of Hope for Those Who Have Been
Doomed to Live Always in Darkness
Tells of Edison's Work on In
vention That May Enable
Those Without Sight to Read
Printed Page
In her room at the Hotel Ansley Sat* j
urday afternoon Helen Keller lay asleep,
resting- the weak voice that, save her
hands, is her only link with the outside
world, resting the voice that wtll tell
the story of her life to Atlanta people
at the auditorium Saturday night.
A knock at the door, a swish of skirts,
and the eager voice of a woman herald-
ad the arrival of the mother that Helen
Keller had not "seen” since last October
until they were In each other’s arms In
the little room of an Atlanta hotel.
Whether It was intuition or a natural
awaking, we do not know, but with tha
first entry of her mother Into the room.
Miss Keller's sleep was ended.
She was half-risen In bed when her
mother’s arms were around her and. her
mother’s Ups kissed her blind eyes again
and again. And Miss Keller's hands
raced across her mother’s face, her
mother’s hair, her clothes, with a wild
restless touch as if they would never
feel enough. And Miss Keller’s voice
sounded low, soft notes In her thorat,
and her white face pressed Itself pas
sionately against her mother’s breast.
It seemed almost a profanation to
witness the meeting between mother and
daughter, but there stood Miss Keller’s
teacher with tears In her eyes, and three
Atlanta ladles and three reporters who
stepped very softly as they left the
room.
The reporters wondered which was
the best story, mother and daughter
met after two months—an eternity of
parting to the blind girl—or the fact
that Miss Keller brings to Atlanta with
her the message that Thomas A. Edison
is at work on an Invention that may
enable the blind to read a printed page
from an ordinary printed book.
TO TEST INVENTION.
For Miss Keller, comes to Atlanta
straight from an Interview with the
noted Inventor, in which they talked
over the new plan and decided that
tests will be made with Miss Keller as
the subject some time next May.
Miss Keller and Mrs. John A. Macey,
her teacher from the time she was
seven years old to her present age of
thirty-three, arrived In Atlanta Friday
night at II o'clock, twelve hours soon
er than they were expected.
The committee that was to have met
them at the train was disappointed,
but three members of it welcomed
teacher and pupil at the Ansley hotel
at noon Saturday. They were Mrs. C.
Helen Plane, honorary president of the
TJhlted Daughters, uder whose auspices
Miscs Keller will lecture here; Mrs.
Williams McCarthy, president of the
organization, and Miss Mildred Ruther
ford, historian general.
When these three ladies and the
three reporters entered the Keller suite
Mrs. Macey welcomed them with the
news that Miss Keller was asleep In
the next room.
A glanoe through the door showed
the dark hair spread over the white
pillow; the hands lying listlessly on
ithe coverlets, the white nervous hands,
’that are to me,’’ says Miss Keller,
’what your hearing and sight are to
you. All my comings and goings turn
on the hand as a pivot. It Is the hand
that binds me to the world of men and
women.”
Mrs. Macey told of Miss Keller's In
terview with Edison.
“It was the first time they had ever
met," she said, “although both have
longed to for many years. Helen and
I went to Mr. Edison's home at East
Orange, N. J., and there they experi
mented with a phonograph and talked
of Mr. Edison’s new plan that will be
the greatest boon the blind have ever
known.
‘‘A WONDERFUL SIGHT.’’
“It was a wonderful sight to see their
two heads close together over the hoin
of the phonograph, the white head of
Mr. Edison and Helen's dark curls. Of
course, Helen could not hear the musla
but she could feel the vibration of It
coming from the horn, and almost un
derstand its language.” >
“Of course,” she oontlnued, “I don’t
know exactly how Mr. Edison will work
out his plan, but he intends to use
electricity to project the printed let
ters In an ordinary book so that a blind
person may read them with the touch
of the fingers.
"Next May Helen will go to hla
place In East Orange and these they
Intend to work for weeks until the In
vention Is accomplished. It will be a
besslng for those who cannot see, and
Mr. Edison Is enthusiastlo. As for Helen,
she would rather do this for her fel
low-sufferers than anything In the
world."
In the pause that followed came a
knock at the door. The handle turned,
and In walked the gray-haired lady, Mrs.
Kate Adams Keller. She had not seen
Helen since last October, when she vis
ited her In Wrentham, Mass. Saturday
morning she arrived from Tuscumbla,
Ala., the old Keller home, where Helen
was born.
It was hardly an instant before the
mother had crossed the room to her
daughter’s side and they were In each
other's arms; but In that short span
Miss Keller had recognized her mother,
and given a little ory that spoke a
great love In the fraction of a tone.
Blind and deaf as she Is, It passes
reason that this woman could tell who
her visitor was, hut that she did before
her hands ever touched the face that
bent over her. It might have been.
Intuition, it might have been some
thing greater.
Miss Keller spent Saturday afternoon
preparing for her lecture tonight. This
Is the first time she has ever appeared
before an Atlanta audience, and since
she has announced she will retire from
the lecture platform in the near future.
It may be the last.
She and Mrs. Macey return Monday.
Miss Keller will devote herself to liter
ary work entirely with the exception of
her experiments with Mr. Edison. '
BRAVE NURSE RESCUES
FIFTY IN HOSPITAL FIRE
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CROWLEY, La., Dec. 22.—The heroic
work of one little trained nurse who
now lies In the hospital here with a
broken leg was the medium through
which fifty patients were saved from
death when a frame sanitarium caught
fire.
Shortly before noon today an % explo
sion from a stove ignited a hospital on
the outskirts of the city, where half a
hundred patients were bedridden. Hardly
had the alarm been spread through the
building when long tongues of flame
were leaping from the windows, and
frantic sufferers cried from their beds
for rescue.
Miss Sibell Morris, one of the nurses,
sped from room to room, calming the
fearful patients and helping to remove
them from the fiercely burning dwell
ing.
As soon as one patient was safely
carried out, Miss Morris was back into
the smoke and flame again, lending a
hand or a shoulder here and at times
carrying out some frail anaemic by main
Strength alone.
Her bravery cost her dear, for after
all had been carried to safety without
a single injury, the valiant little woman
found herself caught on the second
floor, the stairway burned away, and
| the roaring flames burning the room
behind her.
She ran to a second-story window
and jumped. She landed on her feet,
but caught one leg under her and faint
ed away. Surgeons at another hospital
say it is broken.
The fire loss is estimated at $25,000.

ROME, Ga., Dec. 22.—G. Rufus
Hutchens, who gained notoriety in Geor-
(By Associated Press.)
AUGUSTA, Ga., Dec. 22.—'Judge Hen
ry C. Hammond this afternoon Issued
gia politics through his methods of
campaign in the Georgia presidential
primary, is out with another retraction.
He published a card in today’s issue of
the Rome Tribune-Herald, admitting
that his charges relative to the ap
pointment of Howard Thompson as
United States marshal for the northern
district of Georgia, was unfounded.
Not long ago Hutchens admitted in
the Tribune-Herald that a similar
charge with reference to Hooper Alex
ander, United States district attorney,
also was unfounded.
The series of belated retractions in
which Hutchens seems to be engaged
are the direct result of a card he pub
lished in the Macon Telegraph, in which
he made the distribution of Georgia pat
ronage the basis of an attack upon Sen
ator Hoke Smith. He accused the sen*
ator of having selected for federal of
fice in north Georgia men who were fi
nancially interested in the Fulton Na
tional bank of Atlanta. He insinuated
that it was the desire of the senator to
divert federal deposits to the Fulton
bank, in which he allegd Mr. Smith is
interested. District Attorney Alexander
and Marshal Thompson were among
those named by Hutchens as owning
stock in the Atlanta bank.
Some time ago Mr. Alexander wrote
to Hutchens, demanding a retraction
of his statement in so far as it applied
to him. After several weeks of silence
Hutchens issued a retraction. Then Mr.
Thompson demanded a retraction of the
charge with reference to his interests in
the Fulton bank, and today Hutchens
published the following statement in
the Tribune-Herald:
“I learned from what I considered a
reliable source that you were a holder
of some of the stock, but since you say
to the contrary my information must be
incorrect. I heard by accident that
some gentlemen wanted to buy some of
the stock in the bank mentioned, and I
heard that they went to certain holders
and supposed holders to make the pur
chase If agreeable, and among them
we e you and Mr. Alexander, and that
you and he declined to sell. I cannot
give my the name of the party, for I
did iot learn that. However, I accept
your statement as to the truth of the
matter. This I trust will be satisfac
tory."
PANAMANIANS PARADE
TO MAKE COLOMBIA MAD
PANAMA, Dec. 22.—An anti-Colom
bian demonstration took place here dur
ing the night. A procession marched
through the streets the participants
waving torches and exploding fire
crackers. The disorder increased to
ward midnight when the crowd pro
ceeded to some houses occupied by Co-
lombions threw stones at the windows
and uttered threats.
The trouble was brought about by an
article by a local writer reflecting on
the Colombians which was replied to
by a Colombian resident.
The demonstrators also paid a visit
to the printing office of the Sta^ Her
ald which yesterday published an arti
cle criticising the proposed demonstra
tion.
Some stones were thrown but as all
the doors and windows had been barri
caded the missiles had no effect.
Little damage to property was done
anywhere and nobody was hurt. The
city is quiet today.
BIG COUNTERFEITING GANG
CAUGHT NEAR MONTREAL
(By Associated Press.)
MONTREAL, Dec. 22.—What is be

stream of counterfeit money was locat

Joliet, Quesbec, and five men whose
identity the secret servioe men refuse

It was furnished luxuriously.
In addition to the five men held on

Walter S. Godbee. The defendant was
not tried at that time on the charge
based on the killing of Judge Godbee,
who was shot to death In the Millen

The allegation in the motion for new
trial that tne foreman of the trial jury
made the statement that “Mrs. God
bee ought to be lynched,” and that
other memuers of the jury made simi
lar statements, was ruled out entirely
by Judge Hammond, and the effort to
obtain a new trial considered only on
tne allegation of error in the judge**
charge to the trial jury. The Order of
the court holds that there was no
error in the charge and, therefore, the
defendant is not entitled to a new trial.
The case will be appealed to the su

Judge Hammond reversed his decis

motion was heard.
HETCH-HETCHY MEASURE

Water Supply Bill
(By Associated Press,)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—President
Waison today signed the Hetch-Hetchy
bill, granting a public water supply to
San Francisco. He accompanied his
signature with a statement declaring
he believed the public needs of the re
gion concerned were served by the bill
without impairing the usefulness of the
public domain.
The president’s statement follows:
"I have signed this bill because it
seemed to serve the pressing pubic
needs of the region conoerned better
than they could be served in any other
way and yet did not impair the useful
ness or' materially detract from the
beauty of the public domain.
"The bill was opposed by so many
public-spirited men, thoughtful of the
interests of the people, of fine conscience
In every matter of public concern, that
I have scrutinized it closely. I take
the liberty of thinking their fears and
objections were not well founded. I be-,
lieve the bill to be, on the whole, in'
the public Interest, and I am the less
uncertain In that Judgment because it
is concurred in by men whose best en
ergies have been devoted to conserve
tion and the safeguarding the people's
interest and many of whom have be
sides a long experience In the public
service which has made them circum
spect in forming an opinion on such
matters.”
BRUTAL GERMAN OFFICER
GETS PRISON SENTENCE
STRASSBURG, Dec. 22.—A sentence
of forty-three days’ imprisonment was
pronounced by a courtmartial today on
Lieutenant Baron Von Forstner, of tho
Ninety-ninth infantry.
The sentence of imprisonment In a
penitentiary automatically deprives
Forstner of his commission as an offi
cer.
The prisoner argued that he acted in
self-defense, but several soldiers testi
fied that the lame shoemaker he struck
with a sabre, was being held by both
arms and was unable to move when
Lieutenant Von Forstner struck him.
The officer entered an appeal against
the sentence.
Lieutenant Von Forstner was the of
ficer who brought about the recent
troubles between the military and civil
ian population of Zabern by making in
sulting remarks in regard to the Alsa
tian citizens when he addressed the re
cruits of his company. When the towns
people became acquainted with the cir
cumstances, serious rioting and disor
der broke out and lasted for several
days. The Ninety-ninth infantry was
finally transferred to other parts of Al
sace by direct order of Emperor Wil

Bothered by Catarrh, Bronchitis,
Asthma, Head or Chest Colds
Try The New External Treatment—
Relieves by Inhalation and Absorp
tion. No Stomach Dosing.
For years we have been dosing our
selves to cure cold troubles despite the
fact that vapor treatments are quicker
and do not disturb the stomach. The
trouble has been that the old methods
of administering these vapors such as
vapor lamps, etc., were very cumber
some. Vick’s "Vap-O-Rub" Croup and
Pneumonia Salve contains Menthol, Thy
mol, Eucalyptol, Camphor, and Pine Tar,
combined by a special process, so that
they are vaporized when Vick’s Is ap
plied to the heat the body. These
vapors open the %lr passages, loosen,
the phlegm, and heal the inflamed mu
cous membrane.
For Catarrh and Head Colds melt a
little in a spoon and Inhale the vapors.
Also apply well up the nostrils. For
Asthma and Hay Fever follow tho above
Instructions and also rub well over the
spinal column, thus relaxing the nerv
ous tension. For Bronchitis, Sore
Throat, and deep chest colds apply well
over chest and throat, first opening the
pores by applications of hot wet tow
els. Then cover with a warm flannel
cloth, leaving the covering loose around
the neck so the vapors arising may be
inhaled all night long. In addition
Vick’s is absorbed through the pores
taking out the tightness and soreness.
