EMOfW ■EMIS GIVEN GREAT OPEN IN G Exercises Are Attended by Nearly 2,000, Many From Other Cities Between 1.500 and 2.000 pe«w>le at tended the opening exercises of Emory university' Wednesday morning at the university site on the North Decatur road. Moot of them were Atlanta people, al though there were a large numoer of distinguished visitors from other parts of Georgia and the south, including many ladies. The exercises marked another epoch.in the educational progress of the south*, and none who attended them, but were impressed with the solemnity of the occasion and its meaning to the in tellectual welfare of future generations. The exercises were held in a big tent which had been erected tn «« open space between the law and theological build ings. Bishop Warren A. Candler, chan cellor of the university, presided. • BEGAN YEARS AGO. In his introductory speech. Bishop Candle** explained that this could not be called the actual opening of Emory uni versity. as the school had its beginning many years ago and since then had grown and prospered like * century plant. The school of liberal arts of Emory, he said, opened in 1840. the med ical school in 1854. the theological school two years ago. Today, he said, really marked the opening of the school of law, named after a native Georgian. L. Q. C. Tomer, who later moved to Mississippi, from there went to the United states senate and became one of the most prom inent men that the south has ever pro duced. Dr. Robert Selby, of Mississippi, then led the assembly in prayer, following which Bishop Candler introduced Hon. Cone Johnson, of Texas, solicitor to the department of justice in Washington, de scribing him as one of a number of na tive Georgians who have helped to make Texas the great state it is today. Mr. Johnson began his address —the only one of the day—with a tribute to the women of Georgia. It was the hand and needle of a Georgia girl, he said, that made the first flag of Texas —the flag of the lone star on a field of blue. Texas today honors that woman with a monument to her memory, he declared. •CHRISTIAN EDUCATION." . Mr. Johnson’s subject was “Christian Edneatinn" He said that under th a domination of the church, with its pow ers and its Christian influences, one can get a far better, more forceful and deep er education than he can under the dom ination of the state. Mr. Johnson said that his one prayer for Emory is that 'no stress nor circumstance will ever in duce its leaders to depart from the homespun religion of their forefathers. Atlanta and Georgia are digging the en trenchments for a battle which will ul timately exceed in value the battles of history, he declared. “Christian education is the proper sort of preparedness. The question of religion is as important in education as the multiplication table.” He concluded his address with a glowing tribute to L Q. C. Lamar, as a jurist whose equal has scarcely been found in the south and has not been ex celled by any man in the country. He declared that in him were embodied the highest ideals of American liberty. Following the opening exercises, the visitors were shown through the four university buildings: the school of la*, the Candler school of theology, the Sam C. Dobbs hall and the Winehip hall, the .last two being the dormitories. At 1 o’clock Mr. Johnson and other distinguished visitors motored to the Druid Hills Golf club, where they were guests at an elaborate luncheon Mr. Johnson was the guest of honor and Bishop Candler presided at the din ner at the Druid Hills Golf club.

WILSON INDORSED BY CONVENTION PLATFORM Platform of Dorsey Made Part of Platform of Democrats in Georgia *BT XABX.X.EE bbanck. (Jours*l Staff Correspondent.) MACON, Sept. 26.—The Democrat io state convention this afternoon adopted a platform that carried four prominent and vital features. First—The administration of Woodrow Wilson was unequivocally endorsed. Second—The platform of Hugh Dorsey upon which he ran for governor was embodied in the platform of the party. Third—A strong protest against the effort to carry a citizen of the state without the bounds of the state tor trial. Fourth, indorsed the Neill county unit and second primary bill vetoed by Gov ernor Harris and instructed the new state executive committee to call future primary elections under Its terms. • The platform committee immediately upon beginning its deliberations found there was a strong sentiment among some of the members of the committee against the endorsement of President Wilson. W. E. Simmons, of Gwinnett county protested vigorously against a platform that did not carry an endorsement of the national administration. He threat ened to bring in a minority report un less this was done. He was opposed to any expression that committed the party to Watson’s domination and for a time vigorously objected to the sec tion of the platform protesting against taking of a citizen outside the state for trial in the federal court. He said this was nothing but a bone thrown to Watson and he was opposed to of fering Watson any "sop’’ whatever. Mr. Simmons thought a break with Watson was inevitable and that It might as well come now as later. The final agreement was to endorse Wilson without equivocation and include the “sop” to Watson. Albert Howell, of Fulton, offered the .resolution indorsing President Wilson and at the same time introduced the other resolution putting the convention on record as denouncing any effort on the part of the national government to take any citizen of Georgia into another •tate for trial in the federal courts. THE PLATFORM. In addition to embodying the cam paign platform of Hugh M. Lorsey, the platform adopted by the convention was as follows: The Democratic state convention, representing the expression of the white people of Georgia as pro claimed in the recent primary, here by adopts and affirms as its declara tion of principles the platform upon which the nominee of this con vention for governor, Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, went before the people, receiving a majority of all of the votes cast in the primary. In his nomination the people have already adopted the platform, which we hereby reiterate as our declara tion of principle in all of the state Issues involved In. We hereby ratify and endorse the action of the state presidential convention held in the city of Ma con May. 1914, in unqualifiedly en dorsing the administration of Wood row Wilson as president of the United States and in instructing the Georgia delegation to the national convention to cast, its vote for his renomination. The importance of this endorse ment is emphasized by the fact that for Xhe first time in many years the opposition has struck a keynote of sectional animosity, and is mak ing an appeal to sectional prejudice unworthy of the spirit of national fraternity. * We deplore and condemn the tend ency to outside interference with such authority of the state, as by law, custom and tradition, belong to the state, and especially do w*j condemn as dangerous and threat ening to the liberties of the citizens, and usurpation of authority that would take from the jurisdiction of the courts within the state for trial in a foreign jurisdiction, any citi zen of this or any other state. Buch a policy is un-American and inqui sitorial and is subservive of a fun damental constitutional right guar anteed to every citizen in the United States. We endorse the Neill county unit measure passed by both houses of the recent general assembly, which was vetoed by the governor and wo instruct the new executive commits tee to call all primary elections un der its terma Recognizing the obligation of a prosperous and happy people through their government to insure the proper protection and care for those of their number who may, all other resources failing, become * dependent upon it, the legislature should create a special department or board for their benefit. Buch a board should have visitorial and investigatory powers respecting dependents and defectives and should also be charged with the collection and dissemination of data concerning the treatment and pre vention of peverty and the devel opment of public welfare. In almost all of the other states there are state boards for the per formance of such duties. These boards have proved of inestimable value in assisting the legislature and other branches of the govern ment, such as counties and cities, as well as private groups of citi zens desiring information and guid ance in their efforts to alleviate and prevent distress.

TO EXHIBIT BEDSPREAD SH£MADE IN 1832 (By Aueciated Frees.) RICHMOND, Va.. Sept. 26—Mrs Mar tha Harper, aged 104, of Trevlllian Sta tion. Louisa county, Virginil, widow of the Rev. George H.

Unqualified Praise of Wilson Marks Keynote Speech by J. R. Smith President Has P-reserved Peace and Given “Square Deal’’ to the People, Asserts Tempo rary Chairman in Address BY XABX.X.EE Bit AN 08, Journal Staff Correspondent. MACON. Ga., Sept. 26.—J. R. Smith, of Atlanta, temporary chairman of the state Democratic convention, which met here this morning, in h<s keynote speech, was liberal and enthusiastic in his praise of President Wilson and the Democratic ad ministration. He met all expectations. It had been expected that he would be chairman of the resolutions and plat form committee, and those who knfew him were confident that if he were given this place he would Introduce resolu tions of unqualified indorsement of President Wilson and his administra tion. Mr. Smith was not made cnairman of the resolutions committee, but in his speech as temporary chairman he sound ed a thoroughly Democratic note, ant* as a member of the resolutions committee he stood for a platform which would be an unlimited and unstinted indorsement of the president. Every mention of President Wilson and his administration was vigorously and enthusiastically applauded. His first mention of Hugh M. Dor sey’s name brought forth prolonged cheers. When the cheering of Mr. Dorsey’s name had subsided, Gordon Saussy, of Savannah, jumped to his feet, exclaim ing: “We have waited three years for Hugh Dorsey; now let’s give him three cheers!" This call met a prompt re sponse. In part Mr. Smith s keynote speech vzas as follows: “My Friends and Fellow Democrats of Georgia: “At this hour and in this generation, more history is being written in blood than during any previous period in the world’s history; almost one-half of the civilized world is engaged in the most gigantic struggle recorded in any age. The distress that it brings to civilization is that the end of that great horror is not yet in sight.

TRIBUTE TO MR. WILSON. “History will say that the guiding genius who heads our national organi zation, of which we are a part, has done more for the preservation of civilization than any man who has yet lived. “We have met here chiefly for the pur pose of ratifying the nomination of the Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, whom the Demo crats of Georgia have chosen as their standard-bearer and leader, and by this act we are adding to the strength of the Democratic organization of the nation. The Democratic party, under the pow erful leadership of the Hon. Woodrow Wilson, the most fearless statesman yet appearing upon the political horizon since the days of Washington and Jef ferson, has given to the country, in ad dition to peace and prosperity, the most wholesome laws ever written upon our statute books; laws that the enemies of the party dare nor challenge in their canvass of the country for support; laws which they, for forty years, stead fastly refused to give to the country; laws that have released the country financially, and made it possible for every man in every line of endeavor to pursue his business without the slight est chance of being ‘squelched’ by the financial sharks who controlled the money market of this country before the Democratic party wrenched it from them. “ ‘SQUARE) DEAL’ FOR PEOPLE. “The enemies of our party, in the face of all the facts, will find it difficult to convince American people that they have not been given a ’square deal,’ and given the highest degree of representa tion at home and abroad by the Demo-, cratic party. # “Reinforced’in this state by the elec tion of one of her most fearless and loyal Democrats, Hugh Dorsey, as our leader, Georgia will stand, as she has always stood, resting squarely upon the principles of the Democracy that has preserved her and brought her through the fights and given her the position she now occupies in the hearts of the American people.” SLAYS MAN AND WOUNDS WOMAN, THEN ENDS LIFE Woman Who Shot Prominent New Yorker and Wounded Companion in Philadelphia Hotel Has Been Identified PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 27.—The woman vfho shot and killed J. C. Gra veur, of 'New York, seriously wounded his woman companion, and then com mitted suicide in a prominent hotel here early today, was identified as Mrs. Harry Belzer, of New York, by Mrs. Frances Apman, a sister of Graveur. Mrs. Apman told the police Mrs. Bel zer’s maiden name was Margaret Mc- Andrews and that the woman had not been living with her husband recently. Graveur, she also told the police, was a widower and had been very friendly with Mrs. Belzer. From cards found In Mrs. Belzer's handbag the police at first believed she was Mrs. J. C. Ledur, or Leduc. The wounded woman In the hospitaJ, at first supposed to be Graveur’s wifK has not made any statement. Mrs. Ap man later in the day will try to iden tify her. Graveur and the woman, who was at fit st supposed to be his wife, mo tored to this city yesterday from New York. They attended a theater last night after midnight.

Shortly afterward guests on the same floor were startled by four shots and rushing into the hall way they met the supposed Mrs. Gra veur, who Is about twenty-three years of age. staggering from her room with a bullet wound in her breast. - She was screaming hysterically. Graveur was found dead in one corner of his room and Mrs. Belzer clutching the still smoking revolver in her hand, in another. All were fully dressed. How Mrs. Belzer gained entrance to the apartments occupied by her victims Is not known. Neither has It been estab lished from whence she came. The po lice theory, however, is that she follow ed Graveur to this city from New York. Mrs. Belzer was about twenty-five years of age. The police learned from a woman guest at the hotel that Mrs. Belzer wait ed a long while In the hotel corridor last night for Graveur and his supposed wife to return. She told this woman guest that she was Graveur’s wife, that she had no key to get into her room and that she was tired of waiting. Mrs. Apman told the police that her brother became acquainted with Mra Belzer about two years ago. He had given her much jewelry and the couple had taken many long automobile tours, usually registering at hotels as man and wife. Recently, Mrs. Apman told the authorities, Graveur became less attentive to her. The girl in the hospi- ASTHMA RELIEF GIVEN BY ONE WHO HAD IT.

SR IP WINS IN THRILLING GUTTLE WITH SUBMARINE British Steamer Badly Batter ed, but Her Guns Hold Off Undersea Craft (By Associated Press.) NEWPORT NEWS. Va., Sept. 27. —Tne British steamer Antinous, which left here early today after taking on bunker coal, had a narrow escape from destruc tion by a German submarine when off Algiers, en route to New York, via Gi braltar and Newport News. The Anti nous was badly battered up by shell fire from the U-boat and only the Vvvo guns carried by the steamer, by keeping the undersea craft at a distance too great to fire a torpedo, enabled her to escape. A large portion of the Antinous’ bridge was shot away, one ’shell pene trated the bunkers and another struck just over the boilers. Minor damage was done to several other parts of the vessel. Captain Fishwick said his two guns had a range of three miles, as against the five-mile range of the submarine's guns, and this difference allowed the U-boat to fire on him without his be ing able to successfully return it. The three-mile range, however, was sufficient according to Captain Fishwick, to pre vent the successful discharge of a tor pedo at the Antinous. The submarine finally gave up the chase of its own accord, said the cap tain. En route to Gibraltar to Baltimore on the outward voyage, said Captain Fish wick, an enraged sailor stabbed the boatswain to death. The sailor was sen tenced to five months in jail when tried at Gibraltar, and the captain was severe ly reprimanded by the court for giving the sailor an opiate to quiet him down after the killing.
