THE ATLANTA SEMLWEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1913 WORDLESS FBI 33 YEARS, 2500 MlLES lN 0PEN B0AT F0R AND HE ISN’T DUMB MAN SHIPWRECKED MEN TO REACH HOME John Smith, 'of. Kansas City, Vowed a Vow When a Boy and Kept It KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. .^2 9.-—This i_s a storry of a man without words. Also \t is a true story, however much it may 'np'pear to the contrary. No man ever heard John S. Smith, Fifty-eighth street and Monroe avenue, say, “I’ll buy the n^xt round.” Neither did maid ever hear Smith’s voice in those impassioned words commonly ac cepted as proper at a certain point of the courtship of a man and a maid. Yet it wasn't because Mr. Smith never bought,” for he is a sociable fellow. And it isn’t because he never courted •V was oashful, for he nas had love af fairs. One of them serious. HE TOOK A VOW. The whole thing in a nutshell Js that John Smith, at the early age of eight years, vowed a vow. And the things that (would ordinarily move a man to say, things contrary to the city ordinances and in violation of the peace and dig- ; rilty of things ih general have never caused 4*mith \6 forget that vow.. The vow was that never again would he speak, except to his mother,-his brothers and sisters. Since then his voice has not been , heard of man, Selah. Once, five years qjgo, a story was written about him. Smifntfitiught it strange that his silence was worth a story, for to him, refraining frtfrft speech is as common-’ place a thing as breaching. He spent a week bunding -a.J'encc for a man and when he was through the owner of the fence, or more properly the, land around which Smith’s labor was, in- the shape of a fence, declined to pay either for the labor or the'raw ma terial. . ? All you who wouldn’t have said things about that time, stand up. The ayes have it. . Bujt not Mr. Smith. He broke his .pencil point numerous times, to be sure, apd used up his notebook, but-the only place there was a wprd that cduldn’t be used on the most polite occasion was between the lints-. In never talking he has learned the art of what not to say. “NOTHING TO MARRIAGE.” That merely to illustrate what a hold chis vow' has had upon the conscious ness of John Smith, it is only right to explain, pf course, that he came from a faiYiily who were inclined that way. He aas a brother and two - sisters, all of nrhom, those who have known them .rom childhood say, were inclined to silence. Not one of them ever would; recite a lesson in school, or speak to his or her teacher, until after they had passed the fourth grade. Then their speech was meager and was brought about only by drastic measures, includ ing direct application by their teacheTS. i They talked wliat they had to, and other than that held their silence. But when •?upid got to work on them ,he loosed their tongues—all but John’s. Even love—well. John Smith sums up mar riage this wise: “There’s nothin' in it.” HIS LOVE AFFAIR. John Smith’s life was marked with one serious love affair. One night John Smith came to the conclusion that a certain amount of conversation in t.he family wouldn’t be a bad thing, so he wrote the usual question in his note book and handed it across to the girl. “Sure. John, I’ll marry you,” she re plied, after reading it, “but you'll sure have to talk if I do. I’m not going to sit across the table’from a man who won’t talk to me.” John Smith’s face took on a rather crestfallen look, but* it was only for a moment. He studied a minute, grunted, picked un his hat .and left. And ho didn’t go back. Instead he went fishing and trapping. Why doesn’t- he talk? You'll have to ask some of his friends. And each one of them will tell a different story. By one it is said his father whipped him wh3n he was a boy because he wouldn’t talk, and he became all the more deter mined not-> to talk. Others say his mother whipped him because he talked too much, ^but most of his friends say there neVer was such a time. This rrruch is certain: no one outside the fam ily fcircle has heard his voice, except in a grunt, for thirty-three years. LEADING MACON HOTEL SOLD FOR $150,000 \MAdON, Ga~ Dec. 29.—T. W.

LIFE SAVING SERVICE MAKES GREAT RECORD Out of 1,743 Accidents at Sea in Year Only 69 Vessels and 73 Lives Were Lost Angry Crowd F Storms Jail Under Fire WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Out of a total oC 1.743 accidents at sea during the, fiscal year ending June 30 last, the highest in the history of the life sav ing service, only sixty-nine vessels were lost and seventy-three persous were drowned, according to the annual report of S. I. kimbalh general super intendent of the service, made public today. Through efforts of the service,u ves sels and their cargoes valued at $13,- 860,000 were saved. The crews of. the service with the assistance of revenue cutters, and wrecking vessels, assisted 1,364 vessels valued, with their car goes, at $0,032,935 and carrying 5,168 persons. The crews also warned 182 vessels that were running into dan gers, practically all of this work being done at night. Jt also extended aid, to 288 vessels by furnishing emergency 'pi lots, carrying persons to and from shjps to shore and caring for injured officers and men. Of the total of accidents, small and unaccounted motor boats comprise 68 per cent, more than two-thirds of all the persons exposed to danger from the sea being on board this class of craft. The danger in / unskilled handling of small pleasure craft thus is shown to be excessive. The use of power boats- instead of the old style oared craft is recommended by the showing that of the 4,096 persons endangered. 2,748 were rescued in .the power boats.

(By Associated Press.) , CHESTB.RTOWN, Md., Dec. 29.—At midnight a mob which nad gathered around the Kent county jail here, de termined to lynch. Norman Mabel, ne gro, self-confessed slayer of John R. Coleman, a farmer, Tuesday night, forced two doors of the jail. Shots were ex changed between the defenders and the attacking crowd, but no one was hit on either side. The mob was met inside the jail by State’s Attorney H. M. Vickers, Sheriff W. E. Biown, and fifteen special depu ties with drawn revolA’ers. Vickers pleaded with the men to leave the jail. This proving ineffectual, the sheriff or dered his deputies to fire over the heads of the mob. Two volleys brought the in furiated crowd to a halt. A suppressed growl ran through their ranks and cries of vengeance were heard.. Here and there from the crowd came scattered shots, but none of the bullets entered the corridor where the, officers were gathered. REFUSE TO LEAVE. The determined front of the officers held the mob at bay for the time at least, but apparently did not lessen its determination to wreak vengeance upon the negro Mabel. They refused to dis perse and crowded close to the broken doors, seemingly waiting for some one to make the first rush against the little, band of officers. Presently five men bolted into the corridor, the leader bearing a sledge hammer. The others in the mob pressed around the door waiting to rush to the assistance of the leaders. For a moment it looked as if the guards would be overpowered. Former Sheriff William H. McKee, serving as a deputy, faced the would-be lynchers singlehanded, wrenched the hammer from the leader’s' hand and forced him and his four companions from the cor ridor. FIRE OiN WINDOWS. In sullen silence the mob withdrew a short distance outside, but only to open fire upon the windows 6n the second floor where Mabel and the other negroes under arrest in connection with the mur der are confined. Volley after volley from half a hun dred pistols and shot guns was directed at the second story and scarcely a pane of gldss in the windows was left. The negroes lay down close under the windows to escape th^ bujlets. Finding its reckless fusiladc of no avail the mob desisted, but only to again crowd close to the jail waiting for an opportunity to make another rush. That it would be made kerned certain. Sheriff Brown and Mr. Vickers in structed the deputies as a last resort to fire into the mob and not over their heads. The midnight attack came after hours of waiting by the officers. At 10:30 o’clock the first determined effort to force the jail was made. : EDEWIL PROBE ASKED FOR GALOMET DISASTER Request of Miners’ President Forwarded • to President Wilson From Washington (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—The re quest to President AVilson by Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, for a federal in vestigation of- circumstances surround ing the fire norror at Calumet, Mich., was forwarded today to the president- at Pass Christian, Miss., by Secretary Tumulty. Secretary of L^bor Wilson today or dered John B. Densmore, solicitor of the department, to Calumet. Mich., to ren der any assistance possible in settling the copper strike situation. The sec retary said he thought the tragedy was a matter for state investigation. In a telegram to President Moyer Secretary Wilson said It appeared the tragedy “was not in any way connected with the strike situation. “I cannot conceive of such’ a con nection existing,” the secretary’s mes sage continued. “It is almost incon ceivable that any one could be so in human as to plan sucli a catastrophe. From information In my possession it woiild appear to b© purely a statutory crime, solely within the jurisdiction of the police powers of the state.” All Bitterness of Strike Wiped Away by Disaster CALUMET, Mjfch., Dec. 29.—All bit terness and ill reeling that existed in this strike-ridden community the past months is wiped away by the one great, common affliction caused by the false alarm of fire which cost the lives of seventy-two. Today the people of Calu met can only see their neighbors, their brothers, their/-' sisters and their little children, staggering under an almost unbearable burden of distress and grief. A mass meeting of Calumet citizens was held to express sympathy and de vise ways and means to amelioriate the suffering and sorrow of those families on which the hand of death had fallen. The strikers named a committee com prising Representatives of the nationali ties of the victims to call on the Sor- 1 rowing relatives and learn their Wishes regarding the funerals. The authorities have so far been un able to trace a man who is said to have gone up the stairs of the Italian hall and raise the cry of fire, to which is ascribed the panic that led to the fear ful crush in the stairway and caused the death of the nearly four score men, women and children. There seems to be little hope that he will be appre hended.
