Twenty-three years ago the little girl at the left, Laura Virginia O’Hanlon, wrote her famous
question; in the center you see her as she si today, and at the right her little daughter, Laura Vir

NEW YORK. Laura Virginia
O’Hanlon Douglas has received a let
ter from Santa Claus.
She is the little girl of the little
girl who just twenty-three years ago
wrote a letter to the editor of the
New York Sun asking, “Is there a
Santa Claus?”
This little girt was Laura Virginia
O’Hanlon. She received a reply writ
ten by one of the Sun editors which
comforted the hearts of thousands
of little Lauras all over the land.
This reply has become regarded as
a classic and been published through
out the world. None who read it
can doubt there’s a Santa.

MILITARY HOLD
DUBLIN CITY HALL
AND OTHER POINTS
BY WILLIAM H. BRAYDEN
(Special Cable to the Chicago Dally News
Foreign Service, by Leased Wire to
The Atlanta Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920.)
DUBLIN, Ireland, Dec. 23.—Today
the military are in occupation of the
Dublin city ball and municipal offices
which they have commandeered. Cor
poration officials are prevented from
entering and the entire administration
business of the city is thus dislocat
ed. The corporation has been fore
most in the fight against the gov
ernment. It has recognized the Dail
Eireann or Irish parliament as the
supreme authority, has repudiated
all British authority and has refus
ed to submit its books for the usual
audit by the local government board.
The result is that its grants from
the imperial exchequer have been
withdrawn. It is hard up, for it
cannot effectively collect its own mu
nicipal taxes because payment is only
enforceable by appeal to the king’s
court, which is against Sinn Fein
principles. The capture of the city
buildings, though a demonstration
of the government’s power, was prob
ably adopted for purely military rea
sons as a necessary precaution
against an attack on the castle. The
city hall and the offices adjoin the
castle and the chief secretary’s
clerks work within a stone’s throw
of each other.
For months past the few inter
vening yards of space have been pro
tected by barbed wire to prevent ac
cess to the castle from the city hall.
The tax building commands the up
per castle and yard and the viceregal
wing. If the Sinn Feiners brought
off a dramatic coup the soldiers
would be blamed for not foreseeing
it and the present proceedings show
that they are taking no risks. On
Tuesday evening the Sinn Feiners
made a demonstration by entering
the city hall before the military and
cutting the flagstaff from the roof
lest the military fly the union jack.
It is expected that the general
Irish situation will be modified by
the complete collapse of the railway
strike against carrying munitions or
troops. For seven months the men
refused to work and were dismissed
individually, causing the railway
service gradually to become paralyz
ed. They had a heroic part in the
conflict and were freely supported
by public subscriptions. But the gov
ernment was not harmed; the only
sufferer was Ireland and the men
realizing this are now returning to
work, promising to carry anything.
Skilled politicians tell the writer
that the no-compromise spirit of the
Sinn Feiners will collapse similarly
when the masses of the peo
ple realize that the present chaos
is destructive of Ireland’s Interests.
The latest move is to ask the people
by a formal referendum whether they
are willing to carry the home rule
act into operation instead of accept
ing as final the Sinn Fein refusal.
The proposition has been submitted
to the prime minister. An impor
tant negotiator who saw Lloyd
George ou the subject informs the
writer that he promised to consider
it, but pointed out that it would
need legislation.

MOUNTAIN DEW
TO FALL XMAS
ON FORSYTH ST.
Prohibition Director D. J. Gantt
and his raiding agents are preparing
to stage one of the niftiest “whisky
parties” of the year on Christmas
eve at noon, in front of the federal
building. Special invitations are giv
en to every bootlegger and liquor
dealer in the city to be the guest
of Director Gantt and his assistants
on the occasion. «
“We expect 10,000 Atlantians as
our guests when the ceremonies be
gin,” said Director Gantt, “and we
may have movie men on the job
making pictures of the big party as
it progresses along to a climax."
More than 1,000 gallons of pure
"mountain dew” will be on hand.
Every drop of it has been captured
during the past few days by’ Mr.
Gantt’s agents in raids in the moun
tains of north Georgia.
“But, is the government going to
allow you to stage a party like this,
even if it is Christmas time?” Di
rector Gantt was asked by callers at
hi# office Wednesday to whom he ex
tended invitations.
“Absolutely,” said the dry chief,
“this party will conform in every
detail to the Volstead act, the eight
eenth amendment, and all other reg
ulations, whether federal, state,
county on municipal.”
Then the chief explained that the
big and only feature of the “party”
will be the pouring of the 1,000 gal
lons on the Forsyth street curb.
“Some of it is in twenty-gallon
containers, and some of it was seized
in half-pint bottles, but all of it
will land in the gutter on Christmas
Eve,” he asserted.
Director Gantt added that he
thought this would be one of the
most Appropriate Christmas parties
that will be staged in Atlanta dur
ing the holiday season.
"Maybe the real spirit of Christ
mas will find its way into the hearts
of the bootleggers who watch th©
whisky wasted, and who knows but
what the spectacle will be the turn
ing point?” said he. “It is my hope
that as many of the so-called ‘rum
hounds’ as can possibly be present,
to witness the festivities.”
The slaughter will commence
promptly at noon, according to pres
ent plans of the prohibition depart
ment. Director Gantt will be mas
ter of ceremonies, and Revenue Of
ficer J. M. Hicks will supervise the
pouring process.

When the Southern Tariff congress

k Georgia Farmers’ union to present
the subject of a heavy import tariff

i show the congress that free importa

foundation of the prosperity of farm-

: and directed Wednesday afternoon,
. at the closing session of the annual
meeting of the union, to appoint the
committee. He will appoint them
I immediately after the holidays.
Mr. Mills and other officers of the
union were re-elected Wednesday aft

The executive committee for the
ensuing year will be composed of C.
A. Wells, Clarkesville; B. J. Wooten,

J. G. Veach, Trion; S. M. Martin,

i The union adopted a resolution by
J. G. Hollingsworth, of Screven
county, indorsing the enlargement of
the state bureau of markets as pro
; posed by Governor-elect Hardwick in

Another resolution, which was

Tobacco Pool Disbands
After Interest Failure
OWENSBORO, Ky„ Dec. 23.—The
organization of tobacco growers of
the Green river tobacco district
formed here recently to work for
higher tobacco prices, has disband
ed, following a report of its executive
committee of failure to arouse suf
ficiently the interest of farmers in a
contemplated tobacco pooling ar
rangement.
Reports of the committee showe.d
that tobacco pledged to the pool was
3,000,000 pounds short of the amount
I required before the association would
attempt to handle sales. After sub
mission of the reports, the executive
■ommittee resigned.
Meantime prices on the tnarket here
have reached an averageiof sll per
hundred pounds, compared with $4
the opening day a month ago. In
this period only 2,000,000 pounds of
tobacco has been sold, bringing an
average of $7.91 per hundred pbunds.
About 6.000,000 pounds had been sold
at this date last year for a sl9 aver

I PRESIDENT-ELECT
AND MRS. HARDING
ARE LATE TO SHOP
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920.)
MARION, 0., Dec. 23.—Having
failed to do their Christmas shopping
early, Senator and Mrs. Harding are
making a few belated holiday pur
chases. The Christmas list at the
Harding home will not be a long one
this year. There has simply been no
opportunity for shopping and if Sen
ator Harding were to attempt to give
a remembrance to every person in
the whole United States to whom he
feels grateful for what has come to
him this year, he would enter the
white house a poor man indeed.
*Many gifts are pouring into Marion
for the president-elect and his wife,
and, happily, most of them are of
the unostentatious variety and seem
truly Intended in the Christmas spir
it rather than as a bid for possible
favor in the eyes of the new chief
executive. Several very fine turkeys
have arrived and one of them will
grace the Harding table on Christmas
day when the senator probably will
enterfain a very small company.
In former years, whether in Marl
on or Washington the senator and
Mrs. Harding have kept “open house
on Christmas day, but this year it
has been found impracticable to fol
low the old custom. They
the day quietly and unquestionably
will receive calls from many of their
close Marion friends. There being
no children in the senator s home or
immediate family, there will be no
Christmas tree. Taken altogether
Christmas at the Harding home in
Mount Vernon avenue will be ce^e "
braUd largely in the spirit of
thanksgiving.
Back to Old Hauntg
When oena.oi' Harming l»oes to
Florida soon after the first of tne
vear for his pre-inauguration vaca
tiom he will be returning to a happy
hunting and fishing ground filled
with memories and associations of
former visits. The senator has been
a great lover of the Indian river
country and under his leadership
Florida a long time was the mecca
of many Marion folk, flow that the
word had spread about Marion that
the president-elect is to carry his
new distinction to the old haunts you
can hear at the club some fine sto
ries of what Marion people accom
plished in the hunting and fishing
line in Florida in the days gone by.
Colonel Jim Prendergast, who has
taken a leading part in helping to
entertain the ; many distinguished
visitors who have been in Manon
since the start of the presidential
campaign last June, declares that one
day while fishing in the Indian river
he got such a tremendous bite he
thought he had hooked a snag. Wiser
hands took the tackle, however, and
presently there appeared pn th©
surface of the stream a particularly
evil looking alligator seemingly,
about twenty feet in length.
Senator Harding’s 'father-in-law,
Mr, Kling, an expert rifle shot, was
a member of the party that year, and
while the fishing line was held
he aimed and fired. The bullet
struck true at the vulnerable spot just
between the gator’s eyes and the
beast flopped over on his back. He
was towed ashore and proved to be
only about six feet long but that was
voted enough and the skin was
brought to Marlon as a highly valued
trophy.
Plana Not Definite
Senator Harding has made no plans
for his stay in the south, but his
time will be about equally divided
between fishing, boating, gunning
and golfing. He has had little oppor
tunity for consistent exercise since
the election and naturally Is desirous
of going into the White House as fit
as possible.
Before he leaves for Florida Sen
ator Harding has a busy time ahead
of him. There will be a let up, of
course, over the Christmas week-end,
but his engagement list for the later
days of next week is very heavy. The
senator said today he had not by
any means completed his conferences
on the association of nations. He
also has agreed to receive a number
of delegations interesting in having
certain men appointed to cabinet posi
tions.
While speculation in the public
prints centers largely about the port
folios of* state and treasury, the mail
received at Senator Harding’s head
quarters would indicate that the
great majority of people who are in
terested in a cabinet at all are more
concerned about the type of men
to be placed at the head of the
agricultural, labor and interior de
partments. These are the depart
ments which come close to the peo
ple and the president-elect is begin
ning to believe that the success of
his administration and the success
of his plans to do the greatest pos
sible good for the greatest number,
will rest largely in the man who will
fill these cabinet chairs.
RELIEF FOR IDLE
GAINS ATTENTION
OF BRITISH BODY
BY WM. S. NASH
iSpecial Cable to the Chicago Daily Mews
Foreign Service, by Leased Wire to
The Atlanta Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920.)
LONDON. Dec. 23. —The newspa
pers finally seem to have won their
campaign -against th© government in
the matter of unemployment. Dr. T.
J. MacNamara, minister of labor,
after much hesitation has presented
in th© house of commons a series
of measures dealing with the prob
lem of relief for the idle. One bill
provides for a central business com
mittee undpr the chairmanship of
Lord St. Davids to set up co-ordi
nate relief schemes throughout the
country. Under a second bill the
scope of the unemployment insur
ance act, by which the government
pays money to the unemployed, is to
be greatly extended.
The third measure embraces a
great road-building scheme by which
it is expected to absorb 48,000 idle
hands in London and 30,000 in the
provinces at an expenditure of 10,-
400,000 pounds (normally $52,000,-
000). The fourth play is to urge
the construction unions in Great
Britain to take in 50,000 former sol
diers of a deserving character.
Prime Minister Lloyd George
seems with his usual astuteness to
have kept his ear close to th© ground,
though the program was drawn up
only under the stress of circum
stances. At first he thought the
problem a minor one as announced
consistently until last week by the
minister of labor, but he now sees
differently. The agitation in the
newspapers aroused a feeling of dis
satisfaction throughout England. J.
R. Clynes, a labor member of par
liament, announced that he feared
troubles of a revolutionary charac
ter if the government took no action.
Delegation after delegation of work
men have tried to explain the grav
ity of the situation.
Furthermore the figures speak elo
quently for themselves. It Is said
that there are 147,000 persons out of
work in London alone, and 500,000 in
the country at large, of whom at
least half ar ex-service men. The
feeling of being unjustly treated has
rankled among the former soldiers to
such an extent that groups of them
have seized public buildings and
used them for their own use. Acton
Baths, the Fulham town hall and St.
James church hall, among a dozen
other buildings, have been comman
deered in this way. As symptomatic
of a possible general movement these
seizures are disturbing.
Sinn Fein German
Plot Documents to
Be Presented Soon
LONDON, Dec. 23. —Sinn Fein doc
uments showing complicity in a Ger
man plot of 1918 will be made pub
lic within a few days, Premier Lloyd
George informed commons today.
The incriminating literature was be
captured in the recent raids on Sinn
Fein leaders, he said.
IN FAIRY STORIES THE PRINCE ALWAYS appears dis
guised as a pauper. All romantic young girls expect to find it
thus, but for Lillian deraldine Van d’Loye, of San Francisco, the
tale took a curious twist. The “Prince” told her he was the son
of a millionaire many times over. She married him —to discover
that he was only a prince of beggars, and that the money he spent
on her by day was collected by begging on the streets as a blind
man at night. Now she seeks annulment of the marriage.

Millionaire by Night
And a Beggar by Day
Is Sad Wife’s Charge
SAN FRANCISC, Cal.—By night,
when the soft lights were glowing in
th© cases and ball rooms he was
James Robert Van D’Loye, “million
aire,” bon vivant, handsome and talk
ative. By day h© did not talk at all.
The well-fitting clothes that helped to
make him so handsome when the
shades of night had fallen were dis
carded and he wore clothes that
-bagged at the knees and were thread
bare at the elbows. And his merry
laughter and witty talk that made
him the ball room and case idol were
stilled.
At least, this is what his pretty
little wife, Lillian Geraldine Leitch
Van D’Loye, alleges in a suit for an
nulment of marriage, which is on file
in the superior court today. She
charges fraud, deceit and cruel mas
querading on the part of James
Robert.
Lilian is seventeeen and she’s pret

at first sight—he was so clever, so
well groomed and so handsome.
He invited her to dinner and when
the case lights were low and the cof
fee had been served he proposed and
was accepted. He told her he was the
wealthy son of a wealthy sire, she
says. His father was a New York
millionaire of one of the oldest
Knickerbocker families. They would
be married and all would be lovely.
They would travel and life would be
one long honeymoon.
Soon after the marriage James
Robert began to borrow money from
his bride, she declared.
But on© day, not long ago, Geral
dine says, she went through hia
clothes while he was out of the
hous©. In on© pocket she found a
card which, she says, she read:
“I am deaf and dumb. Alms, for
pity’s sake, alms.”
That was the rock on which the
love ship was wrecked. Geraldine
began to work fast and, she charges,
soon learned that her cavalier bj
night was a beggar by day. He
worked the busy marts of trade all
day long, begging.

Charles Forrest who has
been held In the Fulton tower for
several days of federal offiicals on
charges of desertion from the army,
rifling the mails, false enlistment,
thefts from the Pullman company
while It was under government con
trol, and other charges, said to have
been committed in rapid succession
in various parts of the country,
Thursday was turned over by the
government to the Alabama state
authorities for trial at Heflin, Ala.,
on a charge of assault with intent
to commit murder.
Sheriff McWhorter, of Cleber
county, Alabama, came to Atlanta
for the prisoner, and left with him
Thursday afternoon.
The government’s several cases
against McWhorter are not yet fully
developbd, and pending further in
vestigation by department of justice
agents, they explained they were
merely “farming out” the prisoner
to the Alabama state courts.
“This action does not mean,"
said Colonel A. J. Wismer, of the
department of justice, “that we will
drop the government charges. We
will be ready to proceed against
Burgess as soon as the state courts
are through with him.”

There was active buying of many
