2 THINKS HE IS STARVING. IXSAXE SOLDIER CIIEiTBS EXCITE* MEM 1\ ATLANTA. Wri'fli* of tlie Philippines Passing Through—Senator Houston Pro poses to Slake K I tlfia pi ng Cfl pit a I Crime—Gen. Gordon Declines Trus teeship of Soldiers’ Home —Gov. Candler in a tiunudary as to Whom to Appoint. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. I.—While eight In- Itne soldier? from the Philippines, on their way to Washington, were waiting fror a train in the union depot to-day, one of them escaped from the guards and paused consternation* in the crowd for a while. He was finally caught just ns he Was fighting his way toward a barroom. The insane soldier is a private who suf fers from the delusion that he is being starved to death and is said to have eat en up several uniforms in addition to his feather pillow. A bill will be introduced at the next session of the General Assembly by Rep resentative C. C. Mouston of Fulton, to make the kidnaping of a minor in Geor gia capital crime. The Idea grew out of the recent kidnaping of young Edward Cudahy of Omaha, and the seeming inadequacy of the law for the punishment of so outrageous a crime. Mr. Houston says he considers the kidnaper of a child as bad, if not worse, tnan a murderer, and he proposes to urge the adoption of a measure making the penalty death. Thtrten tax collectors and ten tax re ceivers have failed to get their bonds to the Controller General to-day and stand in danger of having new elections order ed for their positions, unless they can show good cause why their bonds have not been forthcoming. The tax collectors are those of Appling, Camden, Columbia, Floyd, Hall, Houston, Liberty, Mclntosh, Oconee, Pickens, Sumter, Epson and Wayne counties, and the re ceivers are those of Camden, Columbia. Crawford, Echols, Floyd, Mitchell, Oco nee, Pickens, Twiggs and Wayne. It is possible some of these may come in on the morning’s mail, showing that the bonds were made prior to Jan. 1, and why they were delayed. Where there has Iwen a total failure to comply with the law, there becomes a vacancy in the office, and the Governor is authorized to order a new election. Gov. Candler is in a qundary as to whom he shall appoint as irustee of Ihe Soldiers’ Home In ihe Firs! congressional district. He received the declination of Gen. W. W. Gordon, to whom he tendered the appointment. Gen. Gordon gave the same reasons for declining ns did Col. J. H. Estill, namely, that the demands of business upon his time would not permit him to perform the duties required. The Governor has the names of several prom inent Savannah veterans under consider ation. but so far has been unable to reach any definite conclusion. He will muke the appointment in a day or two.
