I soon was all right.
"I can’t say enough for Thedford’s
Black-Draught, and the great good

RAT CATCHER TO
KING REVEALS
TRADE SECRETS
BY EDWARD PRICE BELL
(Special Cable to the Chicago Daily News
Foreign Service, by Leased Wire to
The Atlanta Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920.)
LONDON, England^—George F.
Overhill, rat catcher to the British
king, is a big man of lively wit and
jovial nature. He has fought rats
for thirty-seven years, is 'credited
with slaying 20,000,000 of them and
now feels entitled to retire to his
Buckinghamshire farm, though he is
only 48.
“If Chicago needs my services I
will go,” Mr. Overhill said to me, as
he fondled a huge yellow ferret
which, he said, was the father of
1,000 ferrets. “Really, my only re
maining desire before jumping into
my piece of freehold is to do some
thing in the states. I regret refus
ing an invitation from America last
year, but I was held back by a flat
tering offer from one of the big Lon
don stores besieged by rats.”
Mr. Overhill does not like the way
the British rulers reward, or rather
fail to reward, their really great
men. “If I were a retired tea mer
chant, carpet maker, actor or music
hall magnate,” he declared, “my
name would have been included long
ago in the post-war lists of king’s
honors. This is a proper pantcAnime
country. The majority of our lead
ing public men should be driving
taxicabs. They are pitchforked into
their jobs and made K. C. B.’s. Our
country offers no reward, for real
genius. When I go my secrets in
rat manipulations go with me.”
Rat catching, as Mr Overhill ex
plains it, is a difficult and arduous
business. Rats “run” at night, and
consequently rat catchers must work
at night. i
"During thirty-seven years of ac
tive service,” said Mr. Overhill, “I
have seen only four years of day
light. The average number of day
light hours we enjoy is twenty-one
per week. In winter—September to
March—we see daylight only on Sun
days.
“English journalism has been kind
to me. It threw much light upon my
work during the great war. Through
out the four years of this war my
average rest was from five to six
hours a day. I was continually
fighting rats in hospitals, munitions
factories, public institutions and the
like. We had an awful shortage of
foodstuffs and our rats were famish
ing. They became bolder and more
destructive than ever before. Not
until this war had we any idea of the
appalling number of rats living un
derground. Then they were compell
ed to come to the surface in quest
of food.”
Only five men in Great Britain,
according to Mr. Overhill, are in the
first rank of rat catchers.
“We keep our methods to our
selves,” he said, “though if we were
fittingly honored we should be less
inclined to do so. . In the. past
should not have thought of letting
any one outside the business watch
our methods. However, if I go to
America, and if America gives me
a large opportunity, I shall disclose
my methods fully to the world.
Though so many scores of millions
of rats have been caught, there is a
staggering number still at liberty.
“I have nine assistants, all ex-sol
diers, and thoroughly broken into
the business, but they do only
straightforward work. They do not
know the subtler touches. Still they
muster something like 5,000 rats a
week—black, white, brown and gray.
My annual total of more than 500.000-
rats is a world’s record. There is
only one man in this country who is
my equal-—Jack Jarvis, of Camber
well. Jarvis is a rat catcher of the
old type and the real article. We
are both on government and London
county council work, and we reduce
the rat population of London an
nually by well over a million.”
There were two rats in Noah’s ark.
if Mr. Overhill has not been misled.
They were put there, is seems, by
Noah’s mace bearer, one Sebastian
Pirbo, a relation of Mr. Overkill's
on his mother’s side.
“It was Pirbo—rest his soul!" said
Mr. Overhill, “who put the rats in
the ark. Jarvis and I owe our bus
iness to Pirbo. If he had not been
a thoughtful gentleman, I might
have had a knighthood. Os course
one would not expect me to destroy
al Ithe rats. It is only natural” —
there was a twinkle in Mr. Over
hill’s eye—“that I should make a
point of putting back a couple of
the likeliest rats in order to preserve
the Species and stimulate trade. Rats
multiply quickly, and it is only a
short time until my services are re
quired again. Os course, this was
well understood by my ancestor
Pirbo.
"I am a freeman of the city of
London and an associate of the Ver
min. Repression society, to yhich I
am also the chief practical expert. I
am popular in church circles. It is
imporant to me, therefore, to explain
clearly the honorable origin and
character of my profession.”
Mr. Overhill has a wonderful col
lection of ferrets and trained owls
and weird traps. His ferrets and
owl® are one of the most fascinat
ing shows in London. They may be
seen at his extensive laboratory—the
Abbott laboratory in Whitecross
place, Wilson street, Finsbury, Lon*-
don.
“Would you like to see the nip
piest scrap you ever have seen?” Mr.
Overhill inquired. I replied that I
should; “Then,” said he. “one day
I will bring seven rats and a wea
sel to your office and give you the
•entertainment of your life. In this
way I have entertained some of the
greatest personages and some of the
most famous sports of England.”

• When one of Atlanta’s shoplifters is trapped, tears and tales of woe usually follow. The picture ehows Detective Vic Young, arch
enemy of store thieves, at his desk, where prisoners are questioned.
BY ANGUS FHBKERSOW
Shoplifters are stealing $60,000 to
$70,000-a year from Atlanta stores.
That estimate is made by Vic
Young, head of the detective depart
ment employed by the Atlanta Retail
Merchants' association, to hunt the
thieves whose fingers itch at the
sight of silk stcokings, furs and
lingerie.
“I am assuming,” he said, "that
we get back 40 per cent of the stolen
stuff. That’s a high average when
you take into consideration the suc
cess of the police the country over
in recovering goods from thieves.
But it’s probably accurate, and, using
it as a basis, I say that the shop
lifter stuffs $60,000 to $70,000 a year
into her handbag, under her cloak or
into the baby carriage she sometimes
has along.”
“Why ‘Her’?” he was asked.
/“Because,” he said, “ninety per
cent of the shoplifters are women.
Scarcely one out of a hundred,” he
coritinued, “is actuated by need. Thej r
all want something and they take it;
then, after they’ve got it, a lot of
times they don’t know what to do
with it. I've searched houses and
found stolen goods packed away at
the bottom of a trunk, which had
been there as long as three years.
After stealing it the shoplifter was
either afraid to wear it or didn’t
want it any more.”
“How many offenders do you
catch?”,
“About 300 a year,” he answered.
“They are of all ages and all classes.

Works for Opera
S YL. VA M *
NEW YORK —Madame Marguerita
Sylva, international operatic prima
donna, is devoting her funds and her
time to developing American grand
opera. She hopes to have an opera
house in every American city of
more than 100,000 population and
while she says she doesn’t expect to
Jive to see the fulfillment of her
dream, she does hope that the next
generation will have opera in
America as the present generation
has it in Europe. Madame Sylva,
said to be the greatest living Car
men. has swelled the fund of her
enterprise several times with the
nroceeds from this opera.
They range from 15 to 75 years and
from women who are poor to women
•who are rich. But the shop-lifter,
as I said, seldom steals because she
is in want. I arrested a girl the
other day with six dollars’ worth of
stolen goods under her coat and S6O
in bills in her purse.
“In the case of first offenders
who show a spirit of repentance, we
deal as lightly as we can with them.
Many are put on what we call pro
bation. They are all required to
wgn an agreement not to enter cer
tain stores.”
W. B. Fitzgerald, secretary of the
Atlanta Retail Merchants’ associa
tion, joined in the talk of shop
lifters.
“There is no severer punishment
for a woman offender than such pro
bation,” he said. “She is presented
with the alternative of arrest or the
agreement to keep out of specified
stores. In spite of that, she’ll often
hesitate and almost seem to prefer
jail. She appears to consider no mis
fortune so great as not to be allow
ed in the stores.
"We have six detectives,” he ad
ded, “four men and two women, and
they work in close co-operation with
the police. Eventually, they always
get the shop thieves. If there's any
thing certain it is that the shoplift
er is going to be caught and punish
ed. Many are doing penitentiary
sentences for thefts on Whitehall,
and others guilty of only first of
fences are warned from the shopping
district."
“How do you catch the shop
thieves?”

Fifteen Average Americans Give Their Views on
the Russian Experiment

later—that society is organized on economic lines instead of po

Coal broker: "Bolshevism seeins to me to be utterly im

Day laborer: "Wherever Bolshevism has showed up in this

the farmers to keep on feeding them.”
Grandma: "From all I hear, it’s a piece of mischief.”
Young wife: "They’re crazy.”
Reporter: “Bolshevism is based on the survival of the unfit.”
Store manager: "Bolshevism is a bridge to take the Russians
from czarism to democracy. They’ll cool down after a while.”
Carpenter: "The American way is all right.”
Toolmaker: "Let’s wait and see how the reds turn out even

Poison Gas Planned by Huns
Long Before World War Began
LONDON.—The Importance of the
dyestuff industry as a factor of mil
itary unpreparedness is discussed in
the Times by a special correspondent,
who writes:
The critical factor of surprise in
war was never nearer decisive suc
cess than on April 22, 1915, the occa
sion of the first German gas attack
at Ypres. The enemy just missed co’-,
lossal success rendered possible bv
the use of an entirely new war meth
od, one contrary to engagements en
tered into by them at the Hague con
vention. '
There were elements in this first
attack which were absent even from
the situation created by our first use
of tanks. Unfamiliarity among the
troops—or the staff, for that matter
—with the conception of this intangi
ble weapon created an atmosphere
of unparalleled confsion. Then ene
my had but to exploit it fully, but
failed to do so.
It was argued 4>y many generous
and fair-minded people in April,
1915. that this German use of gas
was the result of a sudden decision,
only arrived at in a desnerate effort
to terminate the war. This point of
view would give us maximum hope
for the future. But what was the
actual truth? What do we know

Chattanoogan Killed
By Prohibition Agent
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.; Oct. 26.
Buford Ijessley, of Chattanooga, died
here Monday night as the result of
a shot fired by Cleggett Townsend,
a prohibition enforcement agent.
Townsend said Lessley refused to
halt when ordered. The shooting took
place near Wildwood, Ga.
through a store can spot a shoplift
er,” he answered. “I believe there’s
something psychological about it.
It’s not the shoplifter’s hands so
much as her eyes that betrfay her.
Suppose she’s about to steal silk
stockings. She isn’t looking «t the
stockings at dll, she’s looking all
around to see Avho’s (approaching.
Another woman, honest in her inten
tions, would be looking' only at the
stockings, not caring Who was near.
"Very often babies are used as a
blind,” he continued. "Not long ago
one woman had a baby in a carriage.
She would take goods and stuff
them under a blanket throwh over
the baby’s feet. But the baby got
interested and began to pull the
things out. When the woman was
caught she was doing her best to
conceal the goods, while the baby
was doing all it could to get them
out from under the blanket.
“A woman was arrested here re
cently who was playing the part of
Fagan. She had a little girl 5 years
old with her and a boy who was 11.
They were her own children. She
had the boy trained to steal things
and bring them to her.
"What stores would you think we
have to guard most carefully?” he
asked. “The ten-cent ones, he ad
ded. "That’s odd, isn’t it? You
would think the shoplifters would
frequent only the high-priced estab
lishments. But the ten-cent stores
segm to have a great attraction for
them.
“Tell him about the woman with
about German preparations, and haw
far back do they date?
Any preparations which occurred
must have covered research on the
compounds to be employed and on
the protection required for the Ger
man troops, their training for the
cloud attack. an« the design and
production of the special appliances
to be used. Finally, the production
of the chemicals themselves had to
be faced.
First consider research. The
knowledge w-e have obtained of the
preparations of the Germans leaves
no doubt is to their intentions. The
Kaiser Wilhelm institute and the
Physico-Chemical institute near by
were employed for research on poi
son gas as early as August, 1914.
A correspondent states that they
were working with cacodyl oxide and
phosgene, for use, it was believed, in
hand grenades. "We could hear the
tests.” he says, "that Prof. Haber
was carrying out at the back of the
institute w’ith the military authori
ties, w-ho in their steel-gray cars
came to Haber’s institute every
mornina The work was pushed day
and night, and many times I'saw ac
tivity in the building at 11 o’clock in
the evening. It was common know-l
edge that Haber was pushing these
men as hard as he could. Sachur was

the pivoted teeth.” Mr. Fitzgerald
suggested to Vic Young.
“It was the most unusual case of
‘make-up’ I’ve ever seen,” said Mr.
Young. “This woman had two of her
front teeth on pivots. She had four
false teeth, two of them gold, two
of them enamel. One day she would
put in the gold teeth, another time,
she would wear the enamel ones. In
addition, she had three wigs, blonde,
brunette and white, and they all
suited her.
“Her idea was to change her ap
pearance daily so that detectives
wouldn’t spot her. One day she’d be
a gold-toothed blonde, the next day
a brunette with a row of white
molars, and the third. day, some other
combination. We arrested her in one
of the best hotels here. She wa>s
given a penitentiary sentence.
"One of the most unusual ways Os
concealing stuff I’ve seen recently
was in the brim of a hat. It was a
small hat, too. no larger than a
man’s; yet this woman had S7O
worth of silk stuff packed in there.
She said she intended to buy it, and
that she could carry it in her hat if
she wanted to. .
“Shawls,, coats and bags are the
most frequent means used by shop
lifters for hiding goods. Sometimes
they’ll just put on things and walk
off. I arrested a woman once who
walked out of an Atlanta store with
a $l,lOO fur coat on her back.
"But I think the thing to be im
pressed,” he added, “is that under
our system the shoplifter is sure to
be caught, and that one of two fates
confronts her —restriction from the
shopping district Or jail.”

To Invite Every County
Farm Demonstrator
To Drainage Congress
An invitation to every county farm
demonstrator to attend the ninth an
nual meeting of the National Drain
age congress, to be held In Atlanta,
November 10, 11 and 12, will be
sent out during the next few days
by Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, while
J. Philip Campbell, in charge of
all county farm demonstration
agents, has also issued an urgent
request to the agents to attend.
Judge Newt. A. Morris, first vice
president of the congress, recently
said that the coming meet of drain
age officials from all parts of the
country would be of more value to
the state and to the landowners of
the state, than any single thing that
has happened this year. Judge Mor
ris says that he expects the meeting
to be the means towards starting
many drainage projects throughout
Georgia, thereby reclaiming some of
the 5,000.000 acres now lying useless.
Edmund T. Perkins, of Chicago,
president of the association, spent
several days in Atlanta last week,
and approved the plans which are
being made to take care of the ninth
annual meeting. President Perkins,
at a luncheon given him at th© Ans
ley hotel, stressed the value of the
convention to Atlanta, and the south,
declaring that other states where the
congress had held annual meetings
had profited to a marked extent by
virtue of the meetings.
A feature of the entertainment of
the delegates, will be a trip around
the state, which has been arranged
by R. S. Abbott, secretary of the
Greater Georgia association. This
trip will include a visit to Savan
nah, Brunswick, Waycross, the
Okefenokee swamp and to points of
interest in middle and north Geor
gia. The .tour is to commence fol

ings in Atlanta.
Surgeons Missed
Six Shrapnel Slugs
PHILADELPHIA.—Six pieces

surgeons overseas, were taken
from the body of Joseph Gryer
at the Pennsylvania hospital.
Gryer, who is twenty-one years
old, served in France. with the
Three Hundred and Fifteenth in
fantry, and was wounded severely
by shrapnel. He was in a hospi
tal there for a long time, but the
physicians evidently failed to
complete their task.
For some time past Gryer had
been complaining of pains in his
chest and arms, and he was
rushed to the hospital w r hen these
pains became aggravated and phy
sicians said he was dying. Now
it is believed he will recover.
WOMAN SHOOTS
RIVAL TWICE ON'
STREET IN ATHENS
ATHENS, Ga., Oct. 26.—A sensa

morning, about 11 o’clock, in
of the "Q” room, on College avenue,
this city, when Mrs’. Hugh Weatherly
shot and probably seriously wounded
Mrs. Avie Moon, two bullets being
fired into the body of the latter. The
first bullet struck the stay of Mrs.
Moon’s corset and bounded back, not
injuring the woman. The second bul
let entered the woman’s breast and
may prove serjous.
The first sh6t struck the finger of
Mrs. Weatherly. It is said that she
held out her hand to hold off the
other and in shooting struck her own
hand. She was taken to a doctor
and her hand dressed. A case was
entered against her.
The shooting followed an argu
ment between the two women when
they met on the street. A crowd col
lected at once. One of the university
students grabbed the pistol from the
hands of the enraged woman. Police
took Mrs. Weatherly in charge and
an ambulance was called for Mrs.
Moon. She was taken to a down
town doctor for an X-ray examina
tion. Later, she was taken to the
Athens general hospital for medical
attention. A 32-calibre pistol was
used in the shooting.
Mr. Weatherly is in jail awaiting
trial on charges of violating the
Mann act, it being alleged that he
and Mrs. Moon made a trip to South
Carolina, whene they llx'd as man
and wife. It is said that Mrs. Weath
erly paid the cost of bringing the
couple back to Athens, later with
drawing the suit. Mrs. Moon is said
to have declared that she would have
weatherly still, and the case charg
ing Weatherly and Mrs. Moon with
violation of the Mann act then was
made. Mrs. Moon was out bn bo-nd.
Mrs. Weatherly is the mother of
nine children. She lives on Lumpkin
street, and is well-known in the city.
She is about fifty-five years old. Mrs.
Moon has two children and is aboift
thirty years old. She lives in Bishop,
Ga., but has spent a great part of
her time in Athens.
The shooting attracted thousands
to the scene. Students from the uni
versity flocked to the place. It was
in the center of the business, and uni
versity district. A number of people
were near and saw the shooting.
When Mrs. Moon was taken to the
’doctor she was conscious and was
still smiling. She seemed to be un
conscious of the-notoriety and inter
est that had been aroused, and in
which she was a prominent figure.
She appeared as Well as usual
although a bullet was lodged in her,
she appeared as well as usual.
Attorneys for both women have
been engaged.
Macon Merchant
Killed Trying to
Clean Rusty Pistol
MACIN, Ga., let. 26.—Mr. J. W.
Johnston, forty-eight, merchant of
Macon who shot himself late Mon
day afternoon, came to his death
from accidental discharge of a pistol
which he was cleaning at the time,
according to a verdict of the coro
ner Tuesday, following an inquest.
Mrs. Johnston said her husband
had left the store and was on the
way to the bank to make a deposit
when he delayed for a few minutes..
He went in his room to clean his
pistol. The necessary rags and oil
were furnished by Mrs t Johhston,
who returned to’the porch where a
number of friends were waiting. Be
fore he had been in the room three
minutes, a shot was heard and Mrs.
Taylor found him lying face down
ward in the middle of the room in
a pool of blood.
An investigation disclosed that
four of the five cartridges had been
removed from the revolver, which
was old and rusty, the shell of the
fifth bullet remaining in the cham
ber. The exact manner in which Mr.
Johnston came to his death is un
known, as the revolver was of an
ol dmake and the cylinders were
rusty, the explosion might have been
caused by the instrument he was
using to extract the cartridges from
the Chambers, officers said.
The deceased, who was a son of the
late Mr. John William Johnston,
pioneer citlzeh of Macon, is survived
by his wife, Mrs. J. W. Johnston,
and three daughters, Ruth, Mary
and Sara; three sisters, Mrs. Arthur
Jobson, Mrs. O. J. Copeland and Mrs.
Frank Taylor, of Macon.

"I had no Idea that anything <
earth could do for me what Tanl
has done, and I just feel like tellii
everybody I see about this wonde
ful medicine,” said Wm. Weigel, 26
Third Ave., Seattle, Wash., with t
widely-known New Washlngt<
Hotel.
“When I began taking Tanlac
continued Mr. Weigel, “my condltic
was so rundown that I could ’ n
work. I was never hungry, and n
stomach was so disordered that t
little I forced myself to eat di
agreed with me. My kidneys bothe
ed me, and the pains across n
back were so severe that when
tried to bend over and straighten i
again it would nearly kill me. Ihi
splitting headaches and such diz
spells at-times I would almost topp
over. Then to make matters wore
I began to suffer with rheumatis
in my legs. I was nervous, wei
and listless, was rapidly losit
weight and strength and seemed
be going down hill every day.
"I began to improve after the fir
few doses of Tanlac. I seemed
feel better each day as I continue
the treatment. In a few weeks
was like a brand-new man. Now,'
have a big appetite, eat anything
want, enjoy every mouthful and
don’t suffer in the least afterward
I sleep like a child every night ar
feel jtist fine on arising in the mor
ing. I haven’t a pain about me, n
strength has been wonderfully 1
creased and I have actually galnc
thirty pounds.
"If anybody doubts this statemen
just tell them to see me and I wi
give them the names of some of m
friends who will verify every wor
of it.”
