VnYomen Discuss Question
of Peace at Session on
Tuesday.
New York, April 16.—An opinionated
itorm, the buxz and growl of argu
ment, excited the camp* of the peace*
makers In conference here early today.
The cr(tlclsm' of President Roosevelt
by Andrew Carnegie was not accepted
In Its real sense until a night ’had
elapsed alnce bis utterances. But to-
' day after the night there are those, to
be found who sangulnely assert that
the present conferenco will stir up more
trouble to be reduced- to peace when
the second Hague-conference Is con
vened.
The real business of the present con
ference Is now on -and unusual attention
la directed to the arguments presented
by Illustrious men. Some expect that
there should be "arguments” when the
primary object of thq noted gathering
li for the working of the world's peace,
yet the advance of the proceedings
seems to manifest that peace Is at the
top. with knotty problems beneath. The
new movement for humane Ideals Is
now beginning to be accepted as
tender sprout that must weather the
various vicissitudes before nourishing.

Pittsburg, Pa., April 16.—In
markable .statement given out today,
Mrs. Charles J. Holman,, mother of Ev
elyn Nesblt Thaw, says that-had her
daughter told her what she related on
the witness stand It would not have
been necessary for Thaw to have slain
Stanford Dhite.
"I would have killed - him myself, 1
she declared.
"Two days after the night upon
which Harry Thaw shot Stanford
White at Madison Square Garden,"
says Mrs. Holman, ,“we received this
telegram: ‘It Is most Important for
you to say ahsolhtely nothing. (Slgn-
pd) F.* I would havo kept silent but
for the attacks made upon roo by Mr,.
Dstinsi In his closing address to the
Jury."
Would Haye Killed Him.
She says that Edna Goodrich Intro
duced Evelyn to Stanford White. Eve
lyn told her of White’s Interest, and
she Informed her daughter It wo* un
usual for a stranger U> display such
Interest In a pretty girl at their first
meeting. She made Inquiries regarding
White nnd was told he was “the salt
of the earth.” She called on the archi
tect and he told her he wae Interested
In Evelyn because she was so pretty
and "so good." She says she had Im
plicit confidence In White.
Continuing, she says:
"I never went away from New York
and committed my daughter to the care
of Mr. White. I was compelled to go
to Pittsburg because my son was 111.
When I returned, to all appearances,
Florence was well and happy. If she
underwent the experience that Is said
to have befallen her, she did not take
me Into 'her confidence. She has ac
knowledged this in her testimony.'Had
she told me what she told the Thaw
Jury It would not have been necessary
for Harry Thaw to kill Stanford
White.
•I would have done It myself.”
-AH of Mr. White’s dealings with u*
were open and above board, especially
where money was concerned. The
money he gave Florence was banked
subject to her check. His secretary
knew all about It and attended to the
business. It.was no secret. Mr. White
gave me to understand that ho wanted
everybody to know It, If they so de
sired, so there would be no criticism
and no shame fall upon Florence's
good name."
Mrs. Holman said there was excel
lent .and also legal reasons for her
signing'checks given Evelyn by White,
as her daughter was a minor. She
said Thaw was paying attentions to
Evelyn when they were at the Hotel
Audubon, but he said nothing about
marriage. She disclaimed any knowl
edge of his intention to settle 6100,000
on her daughter.
She said physicians recommended a
sea trip for Evelyn and Thaw Insisted
upon taking them both to Europe. She
told White and he grew furious. She
begged Thaw and Evelyn for money,
she said, so that she could return to
New York, as she was disgusted and
conylnced that Evelyn felt she owed
jt*r mother neither obedience nor re
spect.,
"The climax was reached when Thaw
and my daughter loft ms," said Mrs.
Holman. -Rcdford, the valet, said they
would be married before they went far.
She communicated to me once, send
ing this dispatch: 'If you get crazy
cable to Stanford.’”
New York, April 16.—The positive
statement was made today that former
Governor Frank S. Black had been re
quested to act as chief counsel for Har
ry K. Thaw at his next trial.
Governor Black replied that Under
no circumstances would be touch the
case. This announcement was confirm
ed today by an associate of the distin
guished lawyer, who conducted the sue.
cessful defenso of Roland B. Mollnoux.

Returns coming In from the entire
peach-growing area of Georgia Tues
day serve to corroborate the accounts
of Monday that the peach crop Of the
state Is practically destroyed:
It Is the* consensus of opinion now
that from tho peach-growing section
about Fort Volley to the Tennessee lino
not more than 10 per cent of the crop Is
left alive—and later developments may
see that wiped out. ,
City Attorney Ed Maddox. of Rome,
was In Atlanta Tuesday, and stated
that the best authorities In Floyd be
Iteved a partial crop would survive.
He relates rather a remarkable freak
of tho frost Saturday and Sunday
nights. On Mt. Alto, near Rome, a
great tableland Is planted In peaches. It
Is more than a thousand feet above
Rome, yet the temperature on the
mountain went to 22, while It was 27 In
Rome. A good percentage of the
peaches on Alto passed through the
cold' safely.
Entomologist Smith received Infor
mation Tuesday from Cave Spring,
Adolrsvllle, Elbert county, Habersham

viewed by Tho Georgian, and
all of them agree that nothing In the
fruit and vegetable lines will be left
It Is said by many that the wild berries
have been killed, and that this county
will experience a perfect fruit famine
during the coming summer. The loss
of the peaches and other fruits will oc.
caslon a great hardship on the people

county by the fruit Interests.
PEACHES ALL KILLED
IN VICINITY OF MACON.
Special to The Georgian. ’
Macon, Ga., April 16.—The peach
crop In this vicinity Is believed to
be practically a total loss. With the
heavy frosta of Sunday night and that

not been damaged were put out of busi
ness by the frost; A number of large
peach growera living in this city slated
yesterday that they hardly expected a
third of the usual crop. One of the
growers stated that he would not be

frost upon the fruit crop.

more than twenty bushel*. My Elberta
trees were loaded down with fruit and
when I went In to examine them Mon
day after the Sunday night frost, I
found they had all been killed. I also
visited a number of other orchards
while In the country yesterday and I

MAURI A GE OF 11 DOLL BAB Y"
CAUSES MAM A TEAR TO
DROP ON LUNCH COUNTER
There Is grief among the ' qutek-
iunchers; there Is a missing face be
hind the counter; there Is sadness In
tho dairy lunch room which all the
muffins and hash In the kitchen can
not assauge. For “Doll Baby” is mar
ried and has Jumped her Job.
Not a hurry-up lunch fiend In At
lanta but knows “Doll Baby,” she of
the pearly teeth, the ambitious pom
padour and the merry laugh. She
served thousands at the older estab
lishment In Alabama street, and when
the annex was opened next door and
site transferred her scene of conquests,
the conquered followed her en masse.
No other girl could order "eggs up" or
“draw one, three to come" in tones so
mellifluous, no other could so deftly
fleck an Inquisitive fly from the sugar
bowl.
It was all on account of Charley, the
white-robed cook, who preside* over
the mysterious realm toward the rear,
whence Issue mountains of waffles and
oceans of milk. Charles Franson Is
the name on the marriage records, Just
ns Hattie Bowers Is given ss the right
ful cognomen of "Doll Baby," but their
friends scorn such every-day names as
these.
Charley blew Into Atlanta from
Paris, from the Latin Quarter, where
cooks ore decorated with tho cordon
blue, where cookery Is a fine art. He
blushes os ho tells 0t his marriage,
while other cooks and waiters look on
with Jealous eyes. For Charley bus
robbed the lunch room of Its treasure.
There were no smiles for cooks nor
wnlters until Charley came, nut 1
tho advent of this blonde Matter of the
cuisine, a change came over "Doll Ha
by.” It was noticed that she lingered
over her orders for "a stack of wheats"
and asked for them at close range In
stead of calling disdainfully from the
other end of tho counter. And It was
noticed, too, that Charley never failed
to serve her orders flrit, and this served
but to heighten the popularity of the
blonde waitress- with the wealth of
hair.
Monday afternoon Charley asked for
a little time off—"one hour, m’selu, ono
leetle hour,” and it was, granted. "Doll
Baby" had been absent for a week or
more, but nil Inquiries by. customers
were answered^ with "Oh; she'lf be badk
soon." But when' Charley’s .hour was
up and lie returned to white apron, he
announced that ■ he ami "Doll Baby”
had cast their .fortunes together, and
it Is doubtful whether Mrs, Franson
will consent to smile over the counter
again.
