trying out be on Sanford field, in the
afternoon. .Mr. Bean wishes to make
the acquaintance of all the candidates
as soorrhs possible and to outline his
kheme of work which begins Monday.
Negotiations between the officials of
the athletic association and Bean have
been quietly pending for some days
and yesterday shortly before 7:30
P m. 1’rofessor Sanford received-over
long distance, the official notice of
the a •; eptance of the deal.
Foot ball Practice,
r.-.a h Cunningham will remain In
charge of football activities at Geor

spring practice to begin at an early
date. It is believed that in this way
oniy ran the best results be obtained,
especially in view of the fact that next
'ear's team will be made ufc erttlfely

The rleition of Mr. Bean as baseball
marh came after a long discussion In
regard in baseball and football condi
tions. in which Mr. Cunningham sug-
ge.ted that Bean be employed for
lhe baseball season.
Joe Bean.
The Atlanta Constitution has the
fe lnwimr to say in regard to the ap
pointment of Mr. Bean:
Mr. Kean was otic of the star in
siders of the national pastime a few
'• us ago, starring in the National
' iL’ue and later with Jersey City in
l '> old Kastern league.
1 onuiig to Atlanta, Mr. Bean took
•^.•upo of the athletics at Marist col-
f - r e and brought that school to the
r " Mt ‘n prep school ranks in baseball
md basketball.
Assuming charge of athletics at the
Miai.ta Athletic club, the same rapid
I'lvam-ement was noted in the play of
1,0 a’hletic teams, until of late they
; hv ‘‘ !:,,p n considered among the most
ormidable in the south.
Mr. I»ean is well fitted for hi? new

diversity of Georgia can be counted
to turn out a nine that will be one

Manager Birmingham Has An- Cl DC I MCI IQ AM PC
nounced That Later in the I I ML IlluUflnlluC
Month the Boys Will Indulge
in Some Rare Old Sport.
Prizes Given to Winners in
Various Events—Two Prac
tices a Day From Now On.
The Naps are out again today for
their regulation two practices, and
during the morning session succeed
ing in warming up somewhat the old
dirt on Sanford Field. It is the plan
of Manager Birmingham to indulge in
two practices a day from now on and
if the weather permits such will be
the case. Practically all of the boys
are here and the few remaining away
re expecting to blow in before Sun
day.
A novel feature of the spring train
ing here in Athens will be the Field
Day Events which are to come of.
during the latter part of the month
presumably some time around the
21st. This is one of Manager Bir
mingham’s ideas and is meeting wit!
enthusiastic approval from all side*
A day will be set aside on which n
practice will be indulged in but oi
which individual athletic contests wil
occupy the center of the stage, of bet
ter, the center of the field. Prizes to
the amount of $400 will be awarded
to the winners of the various events.
The exact program has not yet been
arranged, though it is understood that
it will include running events ranging
from the 100-yard dash to the mile
run; throwing the baseball, judged
both from the point of view of distancf
and accuracy; and other track events
A prize will also be awarded to the
man who steals the most bases during
the practice games, here.
A regular old-fashioned field day is
something new in connection with the
practice periods of the big teams, and
some rare sport is promised on the
occasion here. There ace .many college
men on the squad and doubtless some
of them once wore track suits. At any
rate the sport will be worth seeing and
many of the citizens will probably be
on hand for the occasion.

Resident Manager E. C. Carney, of
the Colonial, has decided not to leave
Athens—that is, for the present, at
least. After having packed his trunks
and having them sent to the depot
preparatory to taking his departure,
expecting the new manager to arrive
the same evening, he discovered that
instead of a new manager the arrival
was the lessee of the Colonial instead,
Mr. W. A. Finney, of Paducah, Ky.
Mr. Finney and Mr. Carney talked
things over and Mr. Carney decided
that Athens is a pretty good sort of a
town after all, and that he would not
mind sojourning here some time long-
The new position to which he was
going was a most flattering one, and
Mr. Carney felt that it was due him
self and his future that he make the
: change.
I However, Manager Finney put the
; matter in another light and the friends
: of Manager Carney are gratified that
j he will be with us for the balance of
i the present theatrical season at least

Columbia, S. C* March 6.—The
authorities continued their effort!
today to capture the bandit who,
last night, robbed the mail car of
Southern railway train No. 11 just
as it entered Columbia.
The postal tuthorities, while
unable to give a definite estimate
of the loss, said they believed the
robber’s booty was small.
C. E. Thorpas, the only person who
saw the bandit,’is’ unable to give a
careful description ^of him. He en
tered the car at tip*city limits and
mude Thomas stand: with his face to
the wall while the ffpail poches were
rifled and jumped off before it reach
ed the station. The robber did not
take newspapers or Jitters.
Thomas reported the robbery when
the train rolled into the union station
some thirty minute*, late.
The robber, Thopuu said, entered
the car as the trail! plowed up at the
first street crossing?: inside the city
limits. The clerk was under the im
pression that the .min must have
boarded the train whin it stopped at
Royster, a station about three miles
from the Columbia union station, and
watched his time carefully, entering
the car just in time to make his get
away before the train reached the
union statidn.
The man was masked and the only
description the postal clerk could give
last night was that the roblx* was
about f> feet 8 inches tall.
The bandit seemed very nervous,
Thomas said, but went about his work
with neatness and dispatch.
Two years ago Southern railway
train No. 11 was robbed at the same
plate, the hour and circumstances of
the robbery being exactly the same as
those of last night’s told-up. The rob
ber who hdtd up theiWii
ago made good his escape. Hi» booty
was not considerable.

MANAGERS SELECTED.
The athletic council at its last meet
ing selected .the mansgers for the
football team of next fall, from those
who were elected, by the student body
on February 12.
Those selected were Cocke and
Davis, managers, and Tanner and
I Roberts, assistant managers.
Henry Cleveland, the negro who
last night shot at Jack Wilson, came
down to police headquarters at noon
today and gave himself over to the
authorities. The shooting occurred on
Rock Spring street at about 9 o’clock
last night, and when the officers ar
rived on the scene both men had dis
appeared. Jack Wilson has not yet
been heard from and it is not known
whether he was wounded or not.
The trouble started over a ten dol
lar bill yesterday morning, when it
is alleged that Wilson threatened to
cut another negro for interfering in
the affair. It broke out again last
night when as Henry claims, Jack
got after him with a dirk running
him in a house. After he got in the
house Henry claims to have picked
up a pistol and fired at Wilson who
then disappeared. I
Cleveland u being retained in the
jail and will probably bo tried before
Judge Price tomorrow.

OEADWYLER GUILTY
SAYS JUDGE PRICE
After a trial which lasted from 10
o’clock yesterday morning until 6 in
the afternoon. Mr. A. V. Deadwyler,
was declared guilty of violating the
prohibition law and was given a sen
tence of six months in the stockade

tence was suspended until there should
he another conviction for a similar of
fense.
Mr. Deadwyler by his attorney im
mediately certioraried the case to the
superior court, and on giving bond
was released.
Practically the entire case centered
around the testimony of E. C. Gordon,
who was the only witness that testi
fied against the defendant. His testi
mony was attacked by the defense in
many ways. Judge Price, however,
stated that the city's evidence had
not been impeached. gratifying si

Washington, D. C., March fi^—
Senator Works (Republican), of
California, vigorously denounced
the administration Mexican policy
in a speech in the senate today.
He said decisive action would have
to be taken soon.
The senator declared that the rela
tions of the United Stales and Mexico
presented a “dark page in otTr his
tory.” Unless Americans lose their
virility, courage and patriotism it will
be read in years to come with sorrow
and shame. He declared the United
States should have sent troops into
Mexico to get the body of William S.
Benton.
“The stale depaitment spent days to
find out whether this man was shot by
Villa or put to death by court martial,
called not by a soldier, but by a brig
and, a professional murderer. What
right had Villa to say whether the
body of his victim shall be removed?
What has become of our courage and
manhood that we could leave it to
him to decide such a question?"

SEISMIC SHOCK
FELT IN ATHENS
There are many who take the trip
to Europe every year, but a number
of these never realize the full advan
tages that they should, due to ignor
ance of the countries, their languages,
and the fact they incur many unneces
sary expenses.
This summer quite a congenial par
ty is to be carried over by Professor
L. R. -Geisslcr, whereby these losses
will be guarded agaimt by his exper
ience. The trip will be taken through
Germany, Saxony, Bavaria, Austria
and Switzerland and will last for 52
days, visiting all the points of interest
in these countries that is possibls in
that length of time.
The party is limited to twelve and
if any one is contemplating going
abroad this summer, they should by
all means see Mr. Gsissler at once.
The governor of Minnesota is said
to have composed a pojm in the dent
ist's chair. No doubt it was an owed

Yesterday afternoon about four
o'clock Athens experienced a distinct
earthquake shock. It was f«lt more
in the residence section than in the
down town district. Dishes rattled
and windows shook. Many of the
nurses were greatly frightened.
Slight shacks were felt at the Uni
versity and in the Southern Mutual
Bldg. A decided shock was felt in
the city. No damage was done.
Slight shocks were felt in Madison,

than had at first been hoped for.
’ The chairman of the railroad com
mittee, who is entitled to much of tho
credit for what has. so far been
complished, is working with renewed
energy, assisted by the co-operation
of his committee and the other mem
bers of the chamber.
The committee charged with raising
a fund for the prosecution of the
work, consisting of Messrs. A. C. Tur
ner, chairman; A. G. Dudley and C. A.
Duggan, are meeting with unusually
good success in their work, finding
that the merchants and professional
men of the city are in sufficient sym
pathy with the movement, appreciat

It now seems extremely probable
that Athens is to get better coal rates,

On lait evening Rev. John L. Ger-
dine addressed the Bible conference on
"The Bible in the Near Civilization of
the East.”
Mr. Gerdine is a prominent mission
ary to the Korean field. Nothing has
been heard from Dr. George Stuart
who was to have spoken last night.
No explanation has been made aa to
his non-appearance. Mr. Gcrdine’s
impromptu speech was most interest
ing. He told of the wonderful pro
gress of civilization in the far east,
and of the great benefit derived from
the growing knowledge of the Bible.
Reverend Mell Trotter, who was to
have addiessed the conference tonight,
has been called back to Michigan, so
will not be able to fill his engage
ment in Athens. On account of Rev.
Trotter not being able to come the
Bible conference is now closed.' There
will be no meeting tonight. The min
isters all highly appreciate the mag
nificent response that the people of
Athens have made to the conference,
and the splendid audiences which tile
conferences has had and hope-that it
may be the first of many great con
ferences here in Athens.
BEWILDERED COP
After the general initiations of the
Masons last night some of the mem
bers decided that they had not had
enough fun and decided to have some
more at the expense of a cop.
One of the members dressed up like
a negro and with his face all blacked,
jumped on a policeman on Broad street
and pretended to beat him up. The
policeman, bewildered at first, did net
know what to do but bring the man
to headquarters. However, he soon
