I'll FAIRBURN JAIL,
READYJW TRIAL
BY WARD GBEENE
(Staff Correspondent of The Journal)
FAIRBURN, Ga„ Aug. 7.—Four
spots in Fairburn, like four figures
In a painting, stand out today as
centers of interest in the drama that
will be enacted here Wednesday,
when Mrs. Katherine Queen Brad
street goes to trial on the charge of
conspiring with William B. Green
to embezzle thousands of dollars
from the Fairburn Banking com.
pany.
One Is the home of Green’s mother,
a vine-covered cottage on a quiet
street several blocks from the public
square. Here the passerby sees oc
casionally a man reading on the front
porch or digging in the garden in
the backyard, his hair shot with
gray, his face browned by the sum
mer sun. He is Green, kept close by
his family since he was convicted of
embezzlement in March. They say
his nervous system is completely
broken.
On the other side of the town,
across the railroad tracks down a
shady country road, is a red-brick
building, the home of Sheriff Jen
kins and the Campbell county jail
In a back room, behind a heavy iron
door and barred windows, a woman
in a blue dressing-gowYi, lies on u
narrow cot across which the sun
shine pours. She is Mrs. Bradstreet.
There is not a man or woman in
Campbell county, according to the
sheriff, who would not “pay five dol
lars cash” today to look- at her. But.
until she faces a packed courtroom
Wednesday, she will see no one but
her attorneys, her family and news
paper men.
A stone’s throw from the house,
up a sloping hill, is a mansion, per
haps the most imposing in Fairburn.
On the front porch are a woman ana
a little girl. They are Green’s wife
and daughter, clinging to his hom<»
against the proceedings the bank has
brought to oust them. Every day
or so they cross the railroad track’s
to visit Green. Both were at IDs.
trial. The town wdnders if they ■
will attend the Bradstreet trial, too.
Green’s home on the' hill faces an
other hill and another building, the
court house, a pile of red bricks in
the shade of an oak grove, surround
ed by automobiles and buggies. Court
has been In progress a week already,
but the crowd has not been great.
They are waiting for Wednesday,
when standing room will be at a
premium.
Green May Testify
These sou court house, the
jail, Green’s home, his mother’s home,
so near geographically, so separated
by everything else that matters —
shelter the principal figures in the
drama. Wednesday all will be under
one roof, unless Mrs. Green decides
not to attend the trial, unless Green,
though subpoenaed, refuses to be a
witness.
On the surface Fairburn is not ex
cited, but in the corner drug store,
among the groups occupying the side
walk benches, around the dinner ta
ble in the hotel, even in the court
house Itself, little else is discussed
save Mrs. Bradstreet and the trial.
What does she look like? What will
she say? Will she and Green meet
face to face? Can they get a jury?
Will the jury convict her or turn her
loose? These and a score of other
questions are argued by the hour, for
nobody in Fairburn has seen Mrs.
Bradstreet except officers of the law.
The sheriff says he has turned down
more than two hundred requests for
“just a peek.”
In the meantime, the woman about
whom all this curiosity has been
aroused continues to declare her in
nocence, bemoans her fate and wants
the public to know, among other
things, that she never telephoned
Green at his home and asked for
money,” and that she was dragged,
she says, from a sickbed to jail with
out the privilege of a doctor’s ex
amination.
Her Third Jail
Mrs. Bradstreet has been in jail
since she was ■ fearrested last Wed
nesday. It is her third jail, and not
a bad one as jails go; but, to her,
prison is prison, whether it’s the
lanta police station, the Fulton coun
ty Tower or Sheriff Jenkins’ careful
ly tended quarters at Fairburn.
The jail, like most country “cala
booses,” is part of the house in
which the sheriff and his family
live. It is the western side of the
house, cut off from the rest by a
heavy iron door. Its windows look
out on a farmyard—cows, chickens,
growing things. At present Mrs.
Bradstreet is the only w’hite occu
pant; there w-ere several negroes in
the colored ward.
Although she occupies a room to
herself on the rear corner and al
though Sheriff Jenkins and his wife
treat her with the utmost considera
tion, Mrs. Bradstreet’s situation of
ers another interesting comparison
.o what it was a year ago today,
when she had just moved into At
lanta’s most fashionable hotel.
The cement walls are white-wash
ed clean, but they are cracked aiyl
scaly in spots. The floor is bare
except for newspapers scattered here
and there in lieu of rugs. Against
one wall sits the black handbag she
brought with her. Over the door to
an adjoining washroom hang her
brown dress and the other clothes
she wore. Her shoes have been kick
ed into one corner. Two pink bed
room slippers cuddle each Other in
the middle of the sea of newspapers.
jOver the knob of the single chair
jdroops a lacy boudoir cap that seems
quite crushed and forlorn.
Her Husband There
Most of Mrs. Bradstreet’s waking
and sleeping hours are spent lying
on the cot under the window. Its
legs are gone so that it is right on
the floor and sags woefully. Sheriff
Jenkins tells her he is going to get
her a regular bed as soon as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bradstreet huddles * In the
blue dressing gown and the bed
clothes against the wall. Her hus
band, Clarence, sits on the floor be
side her, his hand stroking her fore
head. Every day he makes me,

College Park and the Fairburn gas
“dummy.”
“Better, Kitty?” he asks.
She makes a little moaning noise.
Then Sheriff Jenkins comes in
with a hot W’ater bottle, and Mrs.
Bradstreet perks up long enough to
refuse anything to eat.
That was the picture she presented
to newspaper men w’hen they called
on her last week, at her request, to
get a statement she wanted to make.
“One thing I want to say,” she
said, “is to deny the statement by
Green’s attorneys that I called him
up over the telephone and that he
had a nervous collapse. I don’t know
anything about the nervous collapse,
but I never telephoned him and ask
ed him for money. Another thing I

Speaker Holder Pays His
Respects to His Opponents
In Speech at Covington
COVINGTON, Ga., Aug. 7. —John
N. Holder, speaker of the house
of representatives, spoke here today
in the interests of his candidacy for
governor. He was greeted by a
large crowd and given an attentive
and enthusiastic hearing.
Mr. Holder attacked Thomas W.
Hardwick for his campaign of “vi
tuperation, calumny and bitterness
against those who do not agree with
him.” He also paid his respects to
his other opponent, Clifford Walker,
declaring nobody knows where he
stands except that he is in favor
of good schools, good'Toads and good
homes.
Mr. Holder’s ‘Speech in part fol
lows:
‘‘lt is impossible for me to dis
cuss all of the highly constructive
work of the Democratic fbrees who
have had control of affairs in con
gross, but there is one great reason
why the Democratic party should be
retained in power. It undej - the
leadership of the Cemoctatjc admin
istration that.we belpe.d io win the
greatest war ever, fought in the an
nals of all the world.’ Investigations
have been made In the past year in
an effort to find out something
shady or crooked in the conduct of
the war, but nothing has developed,
and will develop out of these
investigations.
“It was during the administration
of the Democratic party that the
glad tidings were transmitted on
the gossamer wings of electricity to
our people and to the world that vic
tory had been won and that liberty
and democracy has been given to the
world —to the people of every land
and clime.
“No force has contributed more
towards the accomplishment of this
everlasting result than did the boys
of our own land and country who
were on foreign soil fighting beneath
the blue skies of France, fighting
among strangers and in a strange
land. The soil of weeping France
has been crimsoned wtih the most
precious blood of those heroes. But
the Republican party has done noth
ing but fuss and scold ever since
that victory was won. It has been
made because it was not in the as
cendancy in the splendid triumph
over the foes of humanity and liber
ty. Dcm’t you think that this is
enough ‘to cause the people of these
United States, from one side to the
other, to rally to the peerless man
in whose hands had been placed the
standard of democracy? I am anx
ious to contribute my little bit, and
in order to do so, I stand ready, not
only to support the candidates, but to
defend the principles upon which
they have gone before the people of
the country asking their suffrage.
“Then he launched a campaign of
vituperation, calumny and bitterness
against those who do not agree with
him. Mr. Hardwick is certainly pay
ing a dear price for the privilege of
running for governor—the filling of
his heart and very soul with intense
animosity and consuming antipathy
of his fellowman. In such a cam
paign as he is condoling he is dem
onstrating to the people of Georgia
that he could not make a just gov
been under treatment for months and
I was to go to the hospital Wednes
day to be operated on. He refused
to call my physician and he refused
to let any doctor make a thorough
examination. All he did was to have
the county physician take, my tem
perature and, because I didn’t have
any fever, he said I wasn’t sick. As
a matter of fact, I have serious or
ganic trouble and an examination
would have showed it. I was denied
that privilege.”
Mrs. Bradstreet states she has been
so nauseated she has not been able
to eat anything since she was taken
to jail. Her arrest she attributes to
politics and not to rumors that she
was planning to skip her bond.
“They know I wasn’t trying to run
away,” she said. “Why, if I had had
any intention of doing that, I
wouldn’t have waited till this late
day. I would have gone last winter,
when I was in Jacksonville, or I
could have gone any time before or
after that.”
“I’m innocent," declared Mrs.
Bradstreet. “I didn’t rob anybody,
1 didn’t steal from anybody, I didn t
burn anybody’s bank. I haven t
helped anybody do it, and I never
knew it if it was going on. I have
no bitterness toward 'anybody.
They’ve taken every cent I ever had
in the world and pretty near every
thing my father had. Now, why
can’t they let me alone?”
That, it is understood, will be the
substance of the statement Mrs.
Bradstreet, will make to the jury
when she takes the stand in her own
defense. Her attorneys, Judge Ben
jamin H. Hill and Fred E. Harrison,
i have subpoenaed a number of wit
i nesses, among them Green. It is
possible, however, that Green’s at
torneys will hold that he is too ill
to testify. *
When the picking of the jury be
-1 gins Wednesday, the state will be
represented by Attorney George
Xapier. The bank’s attorneys, who
irosecuted Green, will not, it is un
•orsiood, prosecute Mrs. Bradstreet,

if the settlement she made with the
>ank last fall. The state’s witnesses
will probably be substantially the
same as those who testified against

ernor, for n ( o man should be gover
nor of Georgia who could not be fair
to friend and foe alike, and no man
can be fair and just, who has the
sentiments in his heart that Mr.
Hardwick evidences by his public
utterances.
“Why, my fellow citizens, I am
surprised though that he is now re
sorting to misrepresentation. A few
days ago he said that my brother
had written to both’Senator Smith
and Mr. Watson that he voted for
each of them, while here in my hand
I hold a wire from my brother stat
ing that he never wrote either Sena
tor Smith or Mr. Watson a letter in
his life. I cannot conceive why he
should make such a charge, or why
he should bring into this campaign
my brother, who has nothing in the
world to do with the race for gover
nor, Is not running for office, but is
back in Jackson county tilling the
soil as an honest farmer, endeavoring
to earn a living as a good and sub
stantial citizen.
“In answer to my charge that Mr.
Hardwick is not noted for construc
tive statesmanship, but that he
rather, in his record, had opposed the
constructive legislation passed in the
public interest, Mr. Hardwisk says
that he was the author of the Jaw
that disfranchised the negro in Geor
gia, and that that was the greatest
piece of constructive legislation ever
passed in Georgia. What are the
facts? Mr. Hardwick introduced a
bill in the legislature of Georgia In
1898. In 1899 that bill received only
three votes. In 1900 he again intro
duced the bill and it received only
sixteen votes. In 1907, after one of
the most spectacular races for gover
nor this state has ever seen, a bill
was introduced by Hon. G. W. Wil
liams, of Laurens county, was passed
and became the law of Georgia, which
largely eliminates the colored voter
from exercising franchise. But, my
fellow-citizens, that bill, with its
property, its educational, and Its
soldier qualifications, does not dis
franchise the negro of Georgia, be
cause negroes register and vote un
der this bill, and it applies to all,
both black and white, alike. The fact
of the matter is the negro is disfran
chised in Georgia in the white pri
mary.
“I still say that in his public rec
ord he has. not been a builder, but a
critic and a destroyer. He has not
been for things which would benefit
and upbuild the state and nation, and
keep step with progress and develop
ment, but rather has been an oppo
nent to all these things without of
fering anything in substitution there
for. jt was in the state where he
had an opportuntiy to do a great
work that he developed into a critic
and an obstructionist. He favored
disfranchising the negro in Georgia,
but favored giving him the ballot in
Washington so that/the negro then
could defeat efforts to abolish saloons
in that city. He opposed the ship
purchase bill, parcels post and the
federal reserve act, the best laws in
behalf of the masses that have been
placed on the statute books in the
last half century.
“I, for one, am unalterably and
emphatically opposed to putting an
additional burden upon the property
that is already bearing its full
share of the burder of taxation. But
do I stop there? No. The legislature
now has before it a bill which, if
passed, and ratified by the people,
will enable the state to raise suf
ficient funds to meet every fair and
just demand without increasing the
tax system which, I believe, will ul
timately reduce the tax rate of our
state to about one-half of what it is
today. It simply proposes that the
property that is now bearing its
share of the burdens of the govern
ment must aid in sustaining her
worthy institutions and supporting
her schools, paying her teachers a
living wage, and wiping out the
treasury deficit and meeting every
obligation. While I on
the watch-tower to present any in
crease in your tax rate, and endeav
oring to get the legislation necessary
to give to Georgia schools their
needs, my opponents are both making
anywhere from one to three speeches
a day. I do not believe that the
people of Georgia are going to pun
ish me for staying at my post and
doing my full duty.
“Mr. Hardwick charges that some
body is dominating the politics of
Georgia, and yet he tells you that 11
he is elected he will run everything
himself. How will this help matters,
pray tell me.
“On the question of free speech
and free press and the right of the
people to assemble, I am in thorough
accord with these great fundamentals
of Democracy. They are the prin
ciples for which our ancestors in
that great ' revolutionary struggle,
made a great sacrifice. But who is
not in favor of these great inaliena
ble rights, guaranteed to us by the
constitution of our country?
“I favor the right' of free assem
blage, but when there is a gathering
of people who propose to destroy our
institutions, burn down our homes,
wreck and ruin our properties, and
above all, seek the destruction of the
Democratic government, then the law
steps in and says you must stop—
you must disperse, and the law can
come in further and say you must
be punished. On this great question
the platform adopted at San Fran
cisco voices the very heart and life
of democracy.
SOUTHERN SHIPPERS
S/WED 558.000.D09
BI FREIGHT BUREAU
That the shippers of the southern
territory were saved $56,000,000 a
year by the combined efforts of the
Atlanta Freight Bureau and the
Southern Traffic League in the great
readjustment of railroad transporta
tion charges recently made by the
interstate commerce commission, is
shown by Harry T. Moore, traffic
manager of the freight bureau, in a
digest of the commission’s decision.
The Atlanta Freight Bureau is one
of the oldest and most Influential
■organizations of shippers in the
southern states. Its.traffic manager,
Mr. Moore, is a veteran expert in
rates and is everywhere regarded as
one of the ablest men in this line
in the entire United States. The
Southern Traffic League is a south
wide organization of shippers formed
two years ago with the Atlanta
Freight Bureau as one of its princi
pal component units. The two or
ganizations wroked hand-inhand in
the recent rate adjustment, the bu.
reau being represented by Mr. Moore
and the league by M. M. Caskie, traf
fic manager of the Montgomery
Chamber of Commerce. These two
prepared the evidence submitted. The
lawyers in the case were W. A. Wim
bish, for the bureau, and Charles E.
Cotterill, for the league.
The railroads asked for an increase
of 30.95 per cent in freight rates plus
whatever increased wages might be
awarded to railroad operatives by the
railway wage board. The board
awarded, before the case was decid
ed, an incrase amounting to 8.57 per
cent of the operating costs of the
roads. This would have made a to
tal rate increase of 39.52 per cent if
the roads had got all they asked.
Defeated Previous Petition
After making an exhaustive analy
sis of the revenues and operating
costs of the roads for a period go
ing back several years, Messrs.
Moore and Caskie presented an ex
hibit showing that they were en
titled only to 13.84 per cent plus
whatever wage increases might be
awarded. This figure added to the
wage increase made a total of 22.41
per cent which they conceded that
the roads were entitled to. The In
terstate copimerce commission
awarded the roads a 25 per cent in
crease of freight rates, or only 2.59
per cent more than the Atlanta
Freight Bureau and Southern Traffic
league conceded, and 14.52 per cent
less than the roads had asked.
This percentage of 14.52 applied to
the gross revenues of the roads in
the southern territory figures $56,-
000,000 a year, whtteh represents the
saving to southern shippers as the
direct result-of the work put forth In
Washington by the very able corps
of shippers' representatives—to-wit,
Messrs. Moore, Caskie, Wimblsh ana
Cotterill.
Three years ago the Atlanta
Freight Bureau with the aid of Mr.
Caskie, prior to the formation of
the Southern Traffic league, opposeg
and defeated a petition by the car
riers in the south for a general rate
increase of 15 per cent. That in
crease added to the saving in the
instant case, just recently decided,
makes a total saving, according to
the figures of the Atlanta Freight
Bureau, of $115,000,000 a year which
has been put in the pockets of the
shippers of the south by the work
of their representatives.

this information the department of
justice will make a vigorous prose
cution of profiteers.
“They have already secured
thirty-odd Indictments in West Vir
ginia, seventeen in Tennessee and
many others in coal mining sections.
It is not conceived that the govern
ment has the right or power to fix
the actual price of coal, but rather
to indicate what a fair price would
be, and as criminal law has a two
fold purpose—the punishment of tjje
guilty and the restraining of the
criminally inclined —it is hoped that
a truceless action on the part of the
government will have a salutary ef
fect in protecting not only the in
dustrial, who are compelled to buy
coal in such large quantities, but
also the consuming and suffering
public.”
Alf Taylor to Use
Family Fiddle Again
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 7.
Echoes of thirty-four years ago will
be heard in the Tennessee guberna
torial campaign this year as a result
of yesterday’s state primaries.
Alfred N. Taylor, who thirty-four
years ago was defeated for the gov
ernorship by his Democratic brother,
Bob, was nominated again by the Re
publicans, according to returns avail
able today.
In the famous race thirty-four
years ago, the present Republican
nominee and his younger Democratic
brother campaigned side by side,
playing fiddles and singing duets to
their audiences all over the state.
Bob’s supporters wore white roses,
Alf’s red. Bob Taylor won and was
twice re-elected. He died later while
a United States senator.
The old Taylor fiddle will be tuned
up again in this campaign, it is ex
pected, and Alf Taylor’s sons will
accompany him in the songs.
Despite his advanced years, Tay
lor’s favorite recreation is fox hunt
ing.

Disabled IVar Veterans
Unite in Hearty Tribute
•To Hoke Smith for His Aid
Three Score and More Maimed and Injured Men, Speaking as
Individuals, Praise Senator’s Public Record With Special
Reference to What He Did for Vocational Training and Com
pensation for Them.
APPRECIATIVE of his work in their interest and in the inter
est of similarly situated comrades, three-score and more wound
ed and incapacitated ex-soldiers of the world war have united
in a public commendation of Senator Hoke Smith’s public record witla
especial reference to vocational training and compensation for
maimed and injured veterans. The ex-service men who joined in
the tribute to the senior senator make it clear in their public ex
pression that they speak as individuals and not as the members of
any organization.
The public expression which bears the names of the former sol
diers calls attention to the vigilance and activity of Senator Smith
in securing federal aid for the rehabilitation of men who were in
capacitated in the service of the country. All of the signers of the
statement are now receiving vocational training in Atlanta at the
expense of the government, under the provisions of legislation origi
nated and fathered in congress by Senator Sr<ith. In addition, they
are being compensated by the government during the period of their
incapacity.
Senator Smith’s interest in the ex-service men in Georgia, who
were injured or incapacitated in the war, has been reflected by re
peated conferences he has held with them in Atlanta. Scarcly a day
passes that the senator does not gladly lay aside other duties to
confer with one or more delegations of injured soldiers who wish to
be informed concerning provisions of the law increasing their com
pensation. , .
The tribute of the injured ex-service men follows:
Tribute From Veterans
We, the undersigned, ex-service men who were wounded
or incapacitated while serving our country in the World War,
and who are taking training to fit us for again taking up our
civilian pursuits under the bill which was introduced by, and
passed through the senate by, Senator Hoke Smith, wish to
express our deep appreciation to Senator Smith for his leader
ship in such legislation and for his interest in the injured ex
service men.
It was Senator Smith who took the initiative in our behalf
and it was due to his efforts that the recent provision increasing
the compensation to the men taking vocational training was
passed.
Realizing that he has been our faithful and consistent friend
and that he has done more for the injured veterans of the
world war than any other man in public life, we want him and
the public to know of our appreciation.
We speak as individuals and not for any organization In
thus expressing our gratitude for what he has done, and it is
our pleasure to offer him our support in his race for the senate.

Wilson Demonstrations
Interrupt Address of
Hardwick in Atlanta
Thomas W. Hardwick addressed an
audience of nearly 5,000 persons at
the Atlanta Auditorium-Armory in
the interest of his candidacy for gov
ernor of Georgia. During several
ovations given in honor of Woodrow
Wilson, when the speaker mentioned
the president’s name, six men in the
crowd were ejected. Three of these
were arrested and charged with dis
orderly conduct.
Mr. Hardwick's speech followed
customary lines, violently attacking
President Wilson, the administration,
the League of Nations and the Amer
ican Legion. He asserted his belief
in free speech, a free press and the
right of free assemblage, and de
fended his war-time record in the
senate.

Heir to 35,000,000
Wins Family Name
After 36 Years
CHICAGO.—After thirty-six years
Robert Edward Ridgely has won his
heritage—his family name—which
had been denied him for fear of cre
ating a scandal. With the entry of a
decree by Judge Dennis E. Sullivan,
in the superior court, the young man
legally assumed his place as “one of
ihe Ridgelys of Springfield,” one of
the leading families of the Illinois
capital.
As “Robert Edwards,” the name
by which he has been known since
birth, he appeared in court with At
torney David B. Woodworth and ob
tained pefrplssion to change his
name. Later the attorney made
known the reason for the court ac
tion.

Tanlac did it,” declared W. H. Bran

“And many of the teachers and

look since I began taking Tanlac,” he
said. “I suffered from indigestion of
the worst kind for the past year or
more and was often so weak and diz
zy I couldn’t stand up, let alone walk.
Nothing helped me. I finally had to
take to ‘my bed and stay there for
several weeks. Finally a friend per

never seen or heard of anything to
