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. FOOTPADS KILL AGED WORKMAN Chicago, I wood wo In believed to bare been attacked by bolt up men. WHERE IS LAFA yETTE GINN?

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 Hempstead for trial.

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.

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 In the past, and It Is the object of the management to continue In creasing the syetem until It Is ample to meet the demands of thO pres ent and the basis for any future contingencies.
