Brooks, the stockade man, was called to Center about 9:30 last night by Mr. Gary of that neighbor hood, who reported that on his re turn from a business trip, and on ar riving at the .residence, <his hail to the family was unanswered; becom ing alarmed he jumped from his ve hicle and ran to the front door, to meet a burly negro getting away as fast as he could. Mr. Gary iwa3 not armed and could not stop the in truder, who fled to the woods. Mr. Brooks set out for the scene with his bloodhounds and ran the negro for three hours, but finally lost Kim in the swamp.

IINM WILL ASK REELECTION Mr. II. H. Linton makes the formal announcement in today’s Herald that he will ask re-electron to the position of tax collector of Clarke county. Mr. Linton needs no introduction to the citizens df Athens for the reason that he is widely and favorably known, lie has held the office of tax collector for many years and has always been uniformly courteous in his dealings with everyone. Mr. Linton feels that his conduct of Che business of the county in the mat ter of tax collections is a splendid recommendation, and cheerfully sub mits his claims to the offiec to the voters, feeling sure that the verdict •will be overwhelmingly in his favor. k Yours Merrily? Yes, He's a Jolly One Say, Cap. Weir Is Excellent Nurse agitation for lower gas RATES STARTED BY COUNCIL At a meeting of the light committee of council last night the question of lower gas rates for Athens was con sidered. The committee is composed of Mr. Vincent Matthews, chairman, and Messrs. Wright, Palmer and Mayor W. F. Dorsey. It was stated by the commitec and the mayor that the meeting was call ed for the purpose of taking action to have a conference with the gas company representatives and attor- neys at an early date to secure the reduction in gas rates which, it was understood, the company was to put into effect when certain improvements had been made. Mayor Dorsey was president of ine Chamber of Commerce two years ago when the new company bought the gas plant here and asked the mayor and council and the people of Athens to endorse their request the railroad commission of Georgia to be allowed to increase their bond issue. The mayor stated that, with the city en- gineer, they went before the commis- . .. . frtr th$» fras com- were made—for which the additional bonds were to be issued—Athens v/ould ask for a better rate—one com parable with the rates of other Geor gia cities of like size and circum stances. Mayor Dorsey stated that the ga3 company then agreed to reduce the rates in Athens when the improve ments should have been made; that the $39,000 has been expended; that new mains and better retorts and equipment generally had been in stalled; that the time has now dome for the placing of the Athens rates on a level with the rates in other places; that the gas company will, no doubt, when the council committee and the officials get together come to a ready and thorough understanding nmh.the concessions promised carried into effect. The present Athens rate ia a slid ing; scale rate from $1,64 to $1.00. The average rate is $1.32 1-2 per thousand. ,. , . The statement that tbe present rate is $1.75 less 10 per cent is error—the discount is 15 cents per thousand if paid by the 10th, which makes the. “Yours Merrilly” is.in town. He registered, at the-Hotel Georgian as John R. Rogers, right from Broad, way. Mr. Rogers is one of the jolliest of advance agents in the theatrical game today. He has circled tho globe eight times and he has come io Athens on several occasions, though this is his first visit here since elghty-one. He is known to newspaper men in every I country on the globe and especially those in U. S. A. “This Mexican war ia knocking ua out of our regular tour," said Mr. Rogers last night. “The management of the company is not ao particular about taking a chance with either side —Huerta or Villa—or (loth, but some of the 3tars of the company arc afraid of bullets, and that’s why we’re com ing to Athens. “We had planned In go to Mexico on our way to South America. Things were too serious in Mexico, however, and it was decided to do a little book ing here in the southland and then jump from New Orleans right to Benos. Ayres next May. We’re to stay six weeks in New Orleans iwhen we get there.” Mr. Rogers says he was bom in December, 1844—that would make him 74 yeara old, hut. it.' He tells a story on-how to grow old and'retain one’s youth that might be used-as a beauty secret. “ItVir. easy,” said Mr. Rogers. “When: J-lay ill in a hospital doctors passed by one after another and shook' their heads. I could see that* they hdd given me up. No chance. They looked like mechanical toys to me. *rl- "L wouldn’t let them bury me. No, sir, I crawled out of that bed found a gymnasium. I have had my- self hammered and steamed into con dition until today I’m in as good shape as I was thirty years or more ago. I don’t neglect my exercise. It’s part of my daily work. “Oh. yes, I forgot I was trying to tell you. That war—no, 1 mean that ac cident. We’re coming to Athena just by accident. We'll bo here next Wednesday. We've got three stars all through, a great big company, you know, three sopranos, three every thing except three leaders. In Giu- eppo Angelini; the conductor, we have a wonderful 'soreless’ leader.” Mr. Rogers is a very interesting character indeed. He is with the San Carlo Grand Opera Company, which will put on “Lucia Di Lammemioor” Wednesday next. “Remember,” said Mr. Rogers with a wave of his hand, “we are here just by accident.” The clever press agent leaves tomorrow morning for Atlanta, where the Sab Carlo plays three nights and matinee following Athena —Athens first. Hush little baby; Don’t you cry— Captain Wier ia Standing by. Lots of amusing things happen in police court these days, and some times it is as good as a “10-20-30” so far as getting a good laugh goes. To day’s session furnished the climax in the way of a laugh getter. A case was on and in it was a female witness, who had a baby in her Rrms. The in fant was doing the squalling act to beat the band, and the mother did not. eem able to quiet it. It came time for her to testify in the ease. Baby kept up its howling. Judge Price was equal to the occasion. He spied Police Captain Wier in the room. "Come here, captain, take that baby fuid quiet it,” said he. The captain did not seem to relish the job any too well, and he blushed like a young girl as he took the child from its mother’s arms . However the Cap. proved an excellent nurse, for as soon as the baby was in his arms it hushed its crying. The Cap. got a lot of “jolly ing” but he did not mind that a bit. Judge Price thinks of creating the -offiee of court nurse, and if so. Cap. Wier has a cinch of being appointed to the job.

For several days the odor of burn ing rubbish has been noticeable on the city dumping grounds near the old waterworks between Lumpkin and South Cloverhurst. Upon investigation it was discover ed that the piles of garbage in some •way had caught fire, probably from spontaneous -ombustion, and steps' were immediately taken by the fire department to extinguish the smoid- dering blaze. Aft ; - throwing a quan tity of water around the vicinity of the fire it was decided that as the water failed to soak down to the seat of the trouble it wouid be better to scatter the refuse by the use of dyna mite so that the burning spot could be reached. This was done and proved entirely successful. The first meeting of the board of health over which the new president, Dr. Proctor, has presided was called last night and the attendance was in full as follows: Dr. Proctor, Dr. Brown, Professor C. M. Strahan, Dr. R. C. Orr, Mr. T. W. Reed, Dr. A. M. Soule, Mayor Dorsey and Councilman Dudley. The meeting was occasioned by the fire in the city garbage pile and wsi called for the purpose of discussing a better disposition of refuse. This is always a serious question in a city of any size, and with the rapid growth of Athens it has become problem which will have to de dealt with shortly. The question of erecting an lncln- erecting plant was taken up. Another plan suggested was the securing of a dumping ground several miles out of the city. An investigating committee, con sisting of Dr. Proctor, Mr. Reed and Professor Strahnn, was appointed to look into existing conditions and make a report to the board at tho next meet ing.

C., January 28.— Former Senator Shelby M. Cullom, of Illinois, died today after an illness of more'than a week. The last words expressed Die wish that he might have lived to see the completion of the Na tional Memorial to Abraham Lincoln, his personal friend. Shelby Moore Cullom’s death ended fifty years of continuous public ser vice that had made him a figure in American national life and brought him into official relations with every president from Abraham Lincoln to Woodrow Wilson. President Taft once said of him: "Why, here’s my eld friend Uncle Shelby; be comes nearer connecting the present with the days of Wash ington than any ene else whom I know.” As. a plough-boy driving his fa ther’s oxen over the fresh prairie of Illinois he had known and talked with survivors of the revolution and on the rugged foundations of a life be gun in pioneer hardships of s family of twelve children had built a career that took him to the Illinois legisla ture as a member; speaker of the as semly, two Urn* in the governor’s j ing bat a boy.” chair, service in the National House of Representatives, and thirty consecu tive years in the United States Sen ate. His nearest living contemporary probably is “Uncle Joe” Cannon, whose senior he was some seven years by birth and some three years in na tional service. Cullom’s career as a United States senator began in 1883 when he re signed as governor and was elected to succeed David Davis. His service in the senate chamber was an un broken one for thirty years—five consecutive terms—a record excelled only by two other men. Senator AUi- .son, of Iowa, and Senator Morrill, of Vermont. He entered the Senate in 1883, a spry, active man of fifty-four, ha left it in 1913 a fading, tottering man pf eighty-four, but. with • brain (till bright and active. He need to toll a story of how one day seeing Rena tor Vest, very old, feeble looking end de jected, he said to Senator Morrill, who then was some eighty-six* 'Go over and cheer Vest up a bit,” whereat Morrill walked over and slap ping Vest on the shouider said, Cheer up. old man; why you’re noth- »' i RIOTOUS MEETINGS CAUSED TROUBLE (By Associated Press;)’” V Chicago, HI., January. 28.-fPol:ce. reserves ere today patrolling the.
