We wish to reaffirm that neither our affection for it, nor our sense of obligation to support it, has abated one jot or tittle since it became the heart and center of Emory university. We rejoice rather that the university has made possible a larger and highef grade service to „o ur b °y s through the college. “The chancellor reports an enroll ment of pupils from twenty-four states and six foreign countries. As indicated in the chancellor’s report, there are six schools in the univer sity, namely: “The school of liberal arts. “The school of theology. “The school of law. ‘‘The school of medicine. “The school pf economics and busi ness administration. ‘‘The graduate school. “It will be observed that the school of economics and business ad ministration has been added since* our last report to the , conference.

Its very success has become its embarrass ment. For want of dormitory space, great numbers of students were turned away. Until this want has ijeen supplied, many children of the Church must be denied the advan tages afforded by this great institu tion.

Wardlow, public accountant, of At lanta, in the employ of Woßlf & Co., who was arrested Thurs day night on the charge of defacing hotel property following complaints of the Dempsey, Lanier and Macon hotels that Wardlow had bored holes in the doors to many rooms of each place, was released Friday morning. He was bound over to the superior court on bond of SIOO, charged with eavesdropping. Prominent citizens of Macon testified Wardlow, suffered shell shock while in the British army during the w’ar and after Wardlow said he was going away for treat ment, the solicitor general of the su perior court agreed to nolle pross the case. The arrest followed a complaint made Thursday afternoon by a wom an guest of Hotel Dempsey that Wardlow had entered her room with out permission and had immediately left. Detectives were called by the management of the hotel. Upon in vestigating, the detectives found holes bored in the doors of Ward low’s room leading into other guests’ rooms. Some of the holes, which were bored by a gimlet, were cover ed with a thin coating of chewing gum, which was transparent, the de tectives stated. Upon examining the doors across the hall from the room occupied by Wardlow holes were also found in the doors of two rooms. The accountant returned to the room shortly after the detectives had completed their investigation. They asked him if he was the party bor ing holes. He readily admitted to the detectives that it was he, they said, but offered no explanation for this peculiar action. In the police court H. W. Evans, of the Lanier hotel, testified that on Wednesday night Wardlow register ed at his hotel. Investigation of the room occupied by the accountant revealed that holes had been bored in the doors of his room. T. B. Burke, of the Dinkier hotel, said in the police court that Wardlow bad entered a room of a woman and left a note there which reads as fol lows: “Be sure to see me beforg you go to—” A blank space was let. after the word “to” which should have designated the place. It was said that Wardow bored holes in two rooms at this hotel. The one he oc cupied at first and the one he chang ed to later. Wardlow in police court, said that he did not know why he acted so peculiarly at the hotel. He said that he had no motive in doing it, and could not account for his ac tions. Luther Williams, -banker, testified in his behalf. He said that Ward low was an expert accountant and had been here on numerous occasions to do auditing work for local con cerns. He gave as his opinion that Wardlow was suffering from a nerv ous strain. He said that the ac countant was shell shocked during the war and that this, no doubt, had great effect on his mental condition at times. Louis Rossignol, proprietor of the Macon hotel, said that the account ant had registered at his hotel on numerous occasions, perhaps a month altogether during the last summer. He further stated that Wardlow had always paid his bills promptly, and that he had many times cashed the latter’s personal checks. He said that the accountant did a consider able amount of night work and this fact, combined with the shell shock received during the war, probably was the cause of his having acted so pe culiarly. Mr. Rossignol stated. | Wardlow served fodr years in the (English army and was placed in a ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1920. BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURE IS LOCAL FORECAST A fine little frost Friday morn ing, with a nipping atmosphere of 36 degrees, vindicated about twenty four hours late the forecast of C. F. Von Herrmann, weather prognosti cator, that a cold wave, or at least a cool wave, was advancing on At lanta. “It will go below freezing Satur day morning for the first time this season,” added Mr. Von Herrmann. “Fine, clear, cool weather, with a temperature of about 30 degrees, is in prospect for the early morning hours Saturday. There will not be much wind, and the little wind there is will moderate in the afternoon. It should be gorgeous football weather for the Tech-Georgetown game here and the Georgia-Florida game in Athens, and not so awfully cool for motoring parties going to that city for the contest.” v Mr. Von Herrmann said the cool weather would continue with not much change until about Monday, when it might be expected to mod erate. Anyway, there is no rain in pros pect. On the third of this month about one-quarter of an inch de scended in Atlanta, and that is all thus far, and all that is likely to fall for a week or more, at any rate. Still, with the running start made last spring and summer, Atlanta could remain perfectly dry climati cally all through November and De cember, and still be somewhat long on skyjuice for the year 1920. The weather is fair and cool over most of the United States, and even cold in some parts, outside of Dixie. STORM WARNINGS FOR TEXAS COAST NEW ORLEANS.

Latest reports from the rescuers last night indicated that there had been no loss of life. hospital for three months following his shell shock. He said to a reporter that he was leaving immediately for a hospital to take a medical exam ination. A number of women witnesses were due to testify against Wardlow, but they did not appear in the court Fri day morning. Louis Rossignol stat ed that he was a personal friend of the husband of one of the. women and that he knew that in -that par ticular case this woman did not ap pear to testify against Wardlow be cause she and her husband believed that the accountant was suffering from some mental condition. Sever al of the witnesses stated that when the accountant entered a room oc cupied by women, upon discovering them in there, he apologized pro fusely and went out. SCHOOL GIRL AND DOCTOR ELOPE IN LATTER’S AUTO At twilight Thursday, Miss Mar garet Tillman, daughter of Charlie D. Tillman, the famous evangelist and hymn writer, climbed out of a second story window at Washington sem inary and, meeting her young Loch invar at the north gate of the grounds, where his automobile had been chugging for forty-five minutes, sped away to the minister’s and be came Mrs. Dr. Lewis Douglas. Today the elopement is the sensa tion of the fashionable girls’ school where young Mrs. Douglas was a member of the senior class and where she had expected to graduate next June, until Dbve not only laughed at Locksmiths, but at window screene, teachers’ eyes, parental opposition and everything else that had con spired to keep her and Dr. Douglas apart. 'The story of the elopement was told to The Journal Friday morning by Mrs. Dr. S. F. Foster, at whose residence, 711 Peachtree street, the wedding ceremony was performed in the presence of a number of guests who had-gathered for the celebration o»the Fosters’ thirtieth wedding an niversary. According to Mrs. Foster, the two young people had been deeply in love for some time, but Mr. and Mrs. Till man had opposed the marriage of their daughter until she had finished her education, and had refused tor a,l low Dr. Douglas, who is a prominent young dentist with offices in the Can dler building, to call on Miss Mar garet. Therefore, the elopement was planned. Dr. Douglas, she said, had his car waiting, and his sweetheart, unable to escape by the front door of the seminary without being seen, pried the screen off the window of her room, jumped out into the dafrk ness, had her roommate throw her suitcase after her, and made her way to the north gate, where Dr. Douglas lost no time in speeding the machine away. i At the bow* of the Fosters, th<» thirtieth wedding aniversary was be ing celebrated with the following guests present: Dr. and Mrs. Lucian Lamar Knight, Dr. and Mrs. R. S. Burns, Mr, and Mrs. John M. Coop er, Dr. and Mrs. DeLos Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Judson P. Douglas, Mrs. W. M. Zirgle and Dr. R. A. Edmondson, pas tor of St. Paul’s Methodist church. The Fosters were in the secret, But only Dr. Edmondson, of the others, knew what was going to happen. Seven-thirty arrived. One of the guests, inspired by the occasion, went to the piano and struck into the wed ding march. Dr. Edmondson arose, smiling. And then the dootbell rang and there entered the bride and groom, wind-blown but exultant. And there, scarcely before the guests could recover from theiir as tonishment. Mlsk Tillman became Mrs. Douglas. The bridal pair left Friday morn ing’for an automobile tour of south Georgia, before making their future home in Atlanta. Irish Prisoners Stop Hunger Strike on i Ninety-Fourth Day (JORK, Nov. 12. — (By the Associat ed Press.) —The hunger strike of the nine Irish prisoners in the Cork jail was called off today, the ninety fourth day of the strike. EXHUMATION OF BODY OF ELMER’S WIFE SUGGESTED A new development in the Shepard poison investigation in Fort Valley, Ga., was contained Friday in a tele gram received by Dr.,T. F. Abercrom bie, secretary of the Georgia state board of health, from a physician in Erie, Pa., suggesting that the body *>f Dr. Elmer’s first wife be exhumed in Jacksonville and examined in the same way that the intestines of Mr. Shepard nre now being examined in a laboratory in the state capitol in Atlanta. The name of the sender of the telegram was not given out by Dr. Abercrombie. He did not know the doctor who sent it. Having no juris diction in the state of Florida or the city of Jacksonville, there was nothing he could do but repeat the suggestion to the state health officer of Florida, whose office is located in Jacksonville. The telegram was as follows: “Have just read of Mr. Shepard’s case. Would advise that the body of Dr. Elmer’s former wife, buried in Evergreen cemetery, Jacksonville, be exhumed and examined the same as Mr. Shepard’s.” This telegram was wired in full by Dr. Abercrombie to the Florida state health officer. Dr. Edgar Everhart, the chemist who is making the analysis of Mr. Fred D. Shepard’s intestines, had not completed his work on Friday. He said he would finish Saturday and would report the result of the anal ysis at once to Dr. M. S. Brown and Mayor Harris Neal, of Fort Valley, at whose instance he is making the analysis. Mr. Shepard was a millionaire peach grower in Houston county, the heart of the famous peach belt of Georgia. Last December he mar ried Mrs. L. Hobson, of the town of Perry, county seat of Houston county, a few miles distant from the town of Fort Valley. They made their home in Fort Valley. Last May Mr. Shepard was take suddenly with a violent illness and died in a few days in a hospital in Macon, which Is near Fort Valley. During his illness Dr. E. F. Elmer, a Jack sonville physician, who is said to have been a friend of his and Mrs. Shepard, is said to have been in the home attending Mrs. Shepard’s moth er. Six weeks after his death, Mrs. Shepard married Dr. Elmer and they moved to Florida to live. Subsequent developments involving the questioff of Mr. Shepard’s will caused a coroner’s investigation and the exhumation of his body for a poison investigation. While this investigation is in prog ress, there comes the telegram from the physician in Erie, Pa., suggesting the exhumation and examination of the body of the first wife of Dr. Eime How long she has been dead was ,iot known in Atlanta. That there was a former Mrs. Elmer was not mentioned heretofore in the in vestigation. Dr. Abercrombie has no official connection with the examina tion of the intestines of Mr. Shepard, since Dr. Everhart <s acting as a pri vate chemist, privately employed. 725-Pound Bride Weds Groom Weighing 155 SANTA ANNA.

NewsoaperClaims a st It Has Solution Os Blast Mystery HMORLD'SffI FOB MUM SOUND DISCUSSIIIN Resolutions adopted by a meeting of representative citizens called by Mayor Key Friday to discuss the advisability of promoting a world exposition in Atlanta in 1925, en thusiastically indorse the project, and lay out a course of action. It was decided thoroughly to sound out the citizenry of Atlanta as to the general opi®ion, before pushing the matter ahead. The resolution favoring the world exposition was introduced by Lee Ashcraft, after it had been moved that a committee of five be appointed to call on civic organizations and prominent citizens, to develop what approval the plan will meet. Both motions were carried unanimously. The text of the resolutions of Mr. Ashcraft follows: “Resolved, That it be the sense of this general meeting that the holding of a world exposition in At lanta is desirable, and that thp news papers, and the members here as sembled exert their efforts towards advising the people of Atlanta as to the great benefits to be derived from such an institution; “And that a committee of five be appointed by the chair, to visit the Chamber of Commerce, similar or ganizations, and prominent citizens, to convince them of the good which might come from such a world ex position, and to develop their atti tude toward such an undertaking.” Chairman Gordon advised that he would announce the committee later. Atlantians representing leading business, financial and civic interj ests of the city assembled in the council chamber at city hall at 11 o’clock Friday morning to discuss the proposal to.hold a 1925 world's exposition in Atlanta. The meeting was called by Mayor Key at the instance of a resolution adopted by council, authorizing him to ask for the appointment of a number of committees to consider the question. These wtere represented at the meeting—committees from coun cil, the Atlanta Chamber of Com merce, the Atlanta Retail Merchants’ association, the Merchants and Manu facturers’ association, the Atlanta Clearing House and the daily news papers. Robert A. Gordon, chairman of the committee from council, presided, and Frank Weldon was elected tem porary secretary. Mayor Key opened the meeting with a statement of why it was called. “A world’s fair cannot be a suc cess,” said the mayor, “unless the heads of every organization in the city, as well as the general public approve it and show their approval in a concrete, unmistakable form. An enormous amount of money will be needed to finance it. This must be freely given; the city government must appropriate a large sum. We must have, and we can expect, fi nancial assistance from the United States government, but we must raise our own money before we can call for it.” On Large Scale Mayor Key declared Atlanta must not attempt to have a fair on a small scale, that, if it is decided to go into the proposition, it must be done thoroughly, in away to com pare favorably with all the other great fairs held in the country. He did not urge the fair, nor did he discourage it, but merely em phasized what must be taken into consideration before the plan is accepted.
