DESERTED HOUSE
SCENE OF DEATH
Coroner’s Jury Returns
Verdict of Heart Fail
ure After Inquest.
Half an hour after he entered the old
houao where he was bom, and which
had been vacant for years, W. C. Glo
zler, of 14 Corley street, was heard to
scream late Thursday afternoon, and
few moments later his body was found
In tho hallway of the deserted house
with a contusion on the head.
A coroner's jury empaneled Friday
morning rendered a verdict that Glo.
sler came to his death as a result of
heart failure, to which ho wns said to
be subject. But why he should have
entered the old home at 82 Houston
street, which no one Is known to have
Inhabited for a long time, his scream
and the contusion on the head, offer a
problem which has caused detectives
to wonder.
Entered Empty House.
Glozier was employed at the Ghol
stln Spring Bed Works. He left his
work at 4:30 o'clock Thursday after
noon and said lio was going home. His
brother-in-law started with him, but
Glozier preferred to walk, while his
brother-in-law took a street car. Glo
zler passed down Houston Btreet, and
as he reached hlB boyhood home some
small boys playing In the street saw
him pause and then enter the house.
Half an hour later a scream resounded
through the empty house and reached
the ears of tho youngsters at play. A
W. Long, of 105 Rawson street, was at.
traded by the shouts of the boys and
entered the h&use. He found the body
of Glozier lying In a hallway, the cloth
ing disarranged and a bruise on the
head.
J. R. Wilson, tho brother-in-law,
passed the house on a street car at this
time and was attracted by the crowd
which had gathered. He alighted and
found that the man whom he had left
ollva and well a short time before waa
dead,
Mrs. Glozier Collapsed.
Mrs. Glosler was notified of her hue
band's death by J. A. Allen, who re
ceived the news over a telephone. She
collapsed and was almost thrown Into
convulsions. Her life was considered In
danger for a time, but she rallied and
on Friday was Improved.
An Inquest wns held Friday morning
at the undertaking establishment of
Patterson & Son, and a verdict found
that Glozier came to his death from
heart failure. The contusion on the
head was believed to have been caused
by striking tho floor In a fall.
During the progress of the Inquest
Simon' Glozier, a brother of the dead
man, suddenly fell to the floor In an ep
ileptic fit. He recovered In a short
time. He Is said to be subject to such
Mr. Glozier Is survived by his wife,
who Is un Invalid, and four children,
the eldest being 12 years of age.
The funeral arrangements havo not
been completed.
What drew Glozier Into the lonely
house, the home of his boyhood? What
caused tho scream that echoed through
the empty Halls,, and what—If it was
not heart failure—caused his sudden
death? These arc questions which may
never be answered.

TO
Believe It Would Result in
Overproduction on.
Farms. i
A firm opposition to immigration will
be made by the Farmers' Union ln
Georgia.
At meetings at DouglasvIUe
Wednesday and Carrollton on Thurs
day,’ the opposition crystallized and
resolutions were passed. 1
State Lecturer G. M. Davis made ad
dresses on the subject, and tho mem
bers present expressed their objection
to immigrants.
At the state meeting of the union, to
be held ln Atlanta on May 15, It Is ex
pected that the organization will adopt
resolutions on the subject.
The position of the Farmers' Union
on the Immigration question was stated
by State Lecturer Davis in brief as
follows:
"We object to the class of people
who will emigrate from Europe, nnd
feel that they would not be desirable
citizens. We also oppose Immigration
for the reason that an Influx of foreign
workmen Into the cities would result
In forcing the present workmen and
their families Into the country, where
they would begin farming. This would
result In an overproduction of cotton
and a decrease In prices. These are
the principal reasons for the Union's
opposition.”
All the state officers and several
hundred members are expected at the
state meeting on May 15, when many
Important matters will be considered.

Says He Will Get Him
If It’s His Last
Act.
New York, May 8.—“I will get that
man If It Is the last thing I do,” says
August Belmont.
As' senior warden of the church
Hempstead, I,. I„ which the Rev. Jere
Knode Cooke deserted to elope with
hls seventeen-year-old heiress and
ward, Floretta Whaley, August Bel
mont today had many private detec
tlves searching for the minister.
After consulting with many of the
millionaire members of St. George's
church, Mr. Belmont made tho vow
that he would get get Cooke and to the
missing girl's grandmother, Mrs. James
B. Whaley, he promised that the min
ister would bo severely punished.
That Cooke nnd thq girl are In New
York city was indicated by the receipt
of a letter by Bishop Burgess, post
marked ln Manhattan yesterday, usk-
Ing that he be unfrocked. The bishop
complied with tho request Immediately,
and now Cooke Is not only barred from
preaching ln Episcopal churches, but
he Is also barred from the communion.
Proclaiming her loVs for Jho man
who had treated her so cruelty, the
deluded but faithful wife denounced
the seventeen-year-old girl, who Is be
lieved to be hiding with the Rev. Mr.
Cooke, and said that she—old beyond
her years—had masked her love for
another woman's husband and had en
ticed him away from hls family and hls
children. Mrs. Cooke vigorously ex
pressed a strong confldence In her re
creant husband, coupled with a belief
that he was not mentally responsible
and would return.
District Attorney Coles, of Nassau
county, has also taken a hand In’ the
case at the request ot Mrs. Henry
Wood, of East Rockaway, aunt ot the
Whaley girl, and will seek to have
Cooke arrested and taken back to

TO TIE cm
Wants Council to
Assume Debt of
$150,000.
PROPOSAL WILL
BE CONSIDERED
Owners Say the City Could
Make a Million With- J
out Expense. ,
A proposition whereby the city may
’make one million dollars and not
spend a cent."
This Is what the T. J. Eady Invest
ment Company calls Its proposition to
’give” to the city Hollywood cemetery.
In toto.
Hollywood cemetery comprises 400
acres of land on the river car line,
about four miles from the center of tho
city. The cemetery can be divided Into
80.000 lots, suitable for the graves for
200.000 people.
The owner of this large cemetery, Mr.
Peacock, of South Georgia, died re
cently. and hls heirs are non-resident-,
and, therefore, unable to care for tho
cemetery os It should be looked after.
So the communication from the T. J.
Eady Investment Company, addressed
to the mayor and council, recites:
The heirs have authorized the com
pany to offer the city this donation,
free ot all Incumbrances, except an |j-
sue of <150,000 of 4 per cent ten-year
bonds. In addition, the hairs will glvi
to the city 510,000 with which to put
the cemetery In proper shape.
City to Assume Debt.
The proposition, therefore, resolves
Itself Into this shape: Tho city must
assume 3150,000 of ten-year 4 per cent
bonds. This will amount to *6,000 a
year for ten years, and nt the end ot
ten years tho city must pay over to the
bondholders 3160,000.
The city gots, ln return, 80,000 ceme
tery lots, which, nt *40 a lot, would
bring *120,000 and In addition 310,fen)
cosh with which to put the cemetery
ln shape.
The communication from tho Eady
Investment Company recites that tho
sale of 150 lots each year at 340 each
would pay the Interest, and tho solo
of 4,000 of the 30,000 lota would more
than pay off the principal of the bonds.
Hollywood has 3,000 feet frontage nn
the street car line, and tho Gaorgla
Railway and Electric Company fur
nishes hearse cars for funerals, when
requested. The cemetery Is now more
than fifteen years old and 4,000 white
people are now burled there.
The Eady Investment Company states
that the owners of the cometery have
recently expended 36,000 for three floral
conservatories. The comotory also has
fine rock quarries and sand beds.
Oakland cemetery, which Is now con
trolled by the city, is nearly filled and
certain bfflciala, It Is stated, havo been
prospecting for a suitable location for
another city cemetery.
Lakowood, where the etty has con
siderable property euttablo for ceme
tery purposes, had been favorably con
sidered. Tho Hollywood proposition
may change tho aspect of affairs.

Tho North American Land and Timber Co., of Lake Charles, La., has
purchased from Paul W. Daniels the Indian Bayou canal and the rtco
lands.
The plant Is situated about six miles southeast of Bonalr, and the
pumping plant la located on Indian Bayou. The North American Land
and Timber Company owns a great deal of land ln that vicinity and made
ihe purchase largely because It desired to reach some of Its own lands.
In pursuance of this plan the company will enlarge and rebuild the pump
ing plant nn Indian Bayou, In order to be able to furnish enough water
to Irrigate at least 10,000 acres of land, which will Include 3,000 acres
purchased with the plant and 4,000 acres additional already owned by the
company.
Work upon the new canal connecting Sweet Lake with Lake bllerse Is
already In progress, and the digging of this canal will not only change
thousands of acres of marsh lands Into fine pesture lands, but will dem
onstrate the possibilities of Intercommunication between the Cslcasle
and Mermentau basins along the route to be covered by the proposed
Inter-coastal canal.
The Beaumont Goa Company, which was Incorporated under Texas
laws with a capital of 3100,000 and a bonded Indebtedness of 5100,000,
has been reorganised or liquidated and a new company, ths Beaumont
Gas Light Company, has been organised with a capital of *750,000. The
same officers serve the new company and there has been no change In
the policy or management of the company except to Issue stock of the
new company for stock In the old company and to lift and retire the
*100,000 bond Issue.
The company Is now negotiating for a new site for the main gas
plant, and as soon as thla is secured a large and better working plant
and holding tank will be erected. Extensions of mains will go forward os
