TRYING TO STOP
DIVORCE TRIAL
Believed That Goulds Will
Never Allow Charges To
Be Aired.
New York, May 22.—Miss Helen
Gould, the philanthropic sister of Mil
Uonalre Howard Gould, threatened to
commit suicide if the terrible scandal
growing out of his wife's charges
against him ever comes out in court,
according to the amazing story told to
day by William Carroll Woodward,
known to the police as "Big BUI" Haw
ley.
Hawley has a suit pending against
Howard Gould and the latter's attor
ney. Delaney Nlcoll, for $250,000 for
services in working up evidence against
Mrs. Gould. He declared today that
the charges and counter charges by
Howard Gould and his wife are of such
a character that the Gould family
never permit them to be aired in court,
Miss Helen Gould, Hawley said, went
down on her knees to her brother and
begged him to avert the scandal.
Hawley has confessed his con
nectlon with the efforts which have
been made to blacken the character of
Mrs. Howard Gould. Through his con
fession it Is expected that the grand
jury will today come into possession of
sufficient evidence to warrant the In
dictment and arrest of several very
prominent persons.
Hawley Confesses.
"Big Bill" Hawley, who Is avoiding
any unpleasant court proceedings in
this state by remaining In seclusion in
New Jersey, confessed to Deputy Po
lice Commissioner Hanson today, that
Police Inspector McLaughlin, then in
charge of the Central office detective
bureau, had forced him into the office
of Delaney Nlcoll, counsel for Howard
Gould, In his efforts to divorce Mrs.
Gould, and that while there Nlcoll
snapped his Angers under his nose and
said to him: "You have been taking
money from airs. Gould for eleven
years. You know you have. Now, 1
want you to tell me why she gave you
money.
Gould Employs Hawley.
"Private detectives have foiled to
get you to come here and now 1 have
ordered the city detectives to arrest
you."
That Hawley then entered the employ
of Gould and Nlcoll for the purpose of
obtaining evidence against Mrs. Gould
Is confessed by him In a suit for $250,-
900 against them "for services render
ed" and for breach of conduct.
Bingham Probing Case.
Following these statements, admls-
•lons and confessions of the notorious
rn.uk Police Commissioner Bingham
today announced that he had sent out
subpenas for the appearance of How
ard Gould and Mrs. Howard Gould, to
testify at his Inquiry into the belief
that the police department has been
used as a private agtncy with a pow
erful club, to obtain evidence In the
behalf of Howard Gould In his con
templated divorce action against his
wife.

A PRACTICAL JOKE,
SAT DETECTIVES
OF LOVE MYSTERY
Say Friend of Girl Conspir
ed to Keep Up Excite
ment, and Drop Case.
So far as the police and detective,
are concerned the mystery yelling the
alleged persecution of Miss Marie
Love, the daughter of Dr. Thomas
Love, of 237 Whitehall street, by a
Chicago -'millionaire,'* has been'Bolvod,
and work on the case has been dropped.
The officers declare there Is no such
person as "Raymond Trustlow," the
supposed millionaire, and say they are
convinced the whole affair Is nothing
more than a practical Joke, partici
pated In by three young men friends
of Miss Love. They say they are sat
isfied the remarkable story of "Trust-
low's'- Infatuation and his declaration
that he Intends to wed Miss Love on
the day she graduates from the high
school Is nothing more than a myth.
Detectives Lockhart and Roberts and
Plain Clothes Officers Doyal and Dor-
sett, who have been working on the
case, have submitted a report to Chief
Jennings, outlining the facts as slated.
The officers hove been closely watch
ing the Love home and working other
clews, and only a short time was re
quired to convince them that Miss Love
as the principal In a practical Joke.
According to the stories told the po
lice. Miss Love haa been greatly an
noyed of late by telephone meaaagea
and notes from a man who professed
to be "Raymond Trustlow,” a Chicago
"millionaire." The "millionaire" de
clared his love for the young woman
and Insisted that he proposed to marry
her on the day of her graduation, on
which event he would bestow on her
fabulous sum of money. The young
oman reported to her parents that
she had been followed on the streets
by this Individual and had been fre
quently accosted by messenger boys
with notes.
One of the most remarkable features
of the affair Is the fact that almost
everything that occurred Inside of the
Love home was known to the Jokera.
Officers Doyal and Dorsett were sta
tioned In the house several nlghta to
watch and this was known, the Jokera
calling up over the telephone and ad
vising Miss Love to run the offleera
out of the house.
Dr. Love refused to verify the pub
lished reports of the "mystery" or to
make any statement on the subject, ex
cept that he had been greatly annoyed
by the publicity.

Possibilities of the Piedmont:
“If it wore possible to build a Chinese wall
about any one section of America, or even of
the world, it can be safely said that the Pied
mont plateau, with its range of climate and soil
types, together with its natural mineral and
power resources, would be better able to sustain
itself than any other known area of the civilized
world. , . , . .
“This section js already a fairly rich one
agriculturally, and the investigation of the bu

section so susceptible of great increase in agri
cultural development economically as the

Unless present Indications fall, the
Western Union and Postal telegraph
companies will have the biggest strike
on their hands In the near future that
has occurred In the history of the two
corporations.
Members of the executive committee
of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union
of America are hurrying from several
cities to New York for a conference,
and If demonds already made and to
be made on tho officials of both tele
graph companies are turned down, a
general strike Is probable.
That these demands will be refused,
those In a position to know have little
doubt.
While the grievances against the
Western Union are those of particular,
ly the local union of some 2,000 mem
bers of New York. It Is said that the
recent Increase granted by both com
panics Is not satisfactory to the men.
and that the strike will probably
spread throughout the entire country.
It all rests with the executive com
mittee, composed of R. J. Fowler, chair-
man, of Memphis; M. J. Reldy, of Bos
ton; C. B. Hill, of Toronto;- Joseph
M. Sullivan, of New York, and S. J.
Konenkamp. of Pittsburg.
This committee haa full power to
act, and It It decides on a strike, a
strike there will be. Several members
of this committee are already In New
York ready for the meeting Thursday.
No action will be taken until answers
are received from the heads of the two
companies. Already a demand has been
made on General Manager Clowry. of
the Western Union, for the reinstate
ment of several operators, discharged
because. It Is claimed, they had the
official button of the union displayed.
If this demand Is refused, a strike on
the Western Union will result.
Especially Interested are the mem
bers of the union In Atlanta, where. It
Is'said, 90 per cent of the commercial
operators are members of the union. It
was declared by some of these on
Wednesday that the executive commit
tee would probably demand an eight-
hour day and an Increase of 15 percent.
By an order of President S. J. Small,
of the nations! organisation, the but
tons of the union men were worn dis
played on their coats on May 1 and
since that time It is believed the West
ern Union officials, particularly In New
York, have been getting rid of union
employees. Previous to that the offi
cials had no means of knowing posi
tively Just which of their operators-
were union employees.
President Small Is In New York nnd
has opened headquarters at the Astor
House and the union Is determined to
light for the rights of Its members. A
monster mass meeting was held In New
York on Sunday and at that time the
determination to get what was coming
to them was shown.
The last strike of the operators was
In 1884, hut at that time the union was
not ns strong as It Is now. and the
men lost. Now. however, union men
say the case Is different, and that If a
general strike Is ordered, both com
Trial Will Follow as

FRED BUSH.
He was Indicted Wednesday on
charge of attempt to murder.
An Indictment for assault with Intent
to murder was returned by the Fulton
county grand Jury Wednesday morning
against Fred Bush, who Is charged with
sending an Infernal machine to Miss
Kathryn McCarthy at her home, 447
Georgia avenue, about two weeks ago.
Practically every witness who testi
fied In the preliminary hearing In the
recorder's court was summoned before
the grand Jury at the session Wednes
day morning. These were Mrs. Julia
McCarthy, mother of Miss Kathryn Mc
Carthy, and who narrowly escaped
death by the explosion of the Infernal
machine; Miss McCarthy, the young
panles will be almost completely tied
up.
It Is said by union officials that the
board of director* of the Western
Union hat put It up to Manager Clowry
to win or lose his head, and the union
men declare his head will go.
If the demand for a 15 per cent In
crease Is made, that will mean an In
crease, over what the operators were
getting a few months ago, of 25 per
cent. And the operators arc especially
determined to get an eight-hour day.
It Is generally believed that by the
end of this week the threatened strike
will either be on, or about ready to
begin and that 20,000 union telegraph
operators all over the country will quit
their' keys.
Manager A. M. Beatly, of the Postal
Telegraph Company, refused to discuss
the subject, as did local officials of the
Western Union.
lady for whom the'machlne was In
tended; Clprles V. Doolittle, the young
mnn for whom Bush Is said to have
had an unnatural affection, nnd who
was engaged to Miss McCarthy; and
Sergeant Lanford and Detectives Simp-
eon and Campbell. Other witnesses ap
pearing before the grand Jury In the
Bush case were the negro boy who
was given the Infernal machine for de
livery at the McCarthy home; W. B.
Blount, who, on one occasion, lent Mrs.
McCarthy a pistol when she became
alarmed at the peculiar actions of
Bush, and Officer McGill, who was on
the Broad street beat where the store
conducted by Bush and Doolittle Is lo
cated.
Important Witness.
By far the most Important witness
In the case was Mrs. Julia McCarthy.
It was to her that Bush Is alleged to
have made his threats against the Mc
Carthy family.
Mrs. McCarthy was still weak and
nervous from the terrible shock and
the physical pain caused her when the
dynamite-laden box exploded almost In
her hands. There were sours on her
fare from the Injuries Inflicted by the
terrible explosltlon and her henring
was so badly Impaired that she heard
with difficulty questions that were
asked her, Notwithstanding her trying
experience, and the suffering resulting
therefrom, Mrs. McCarthy was un
usually calm and collected considering
the circumstances, and gave to a repre
sentative of The Georgian a very lucid
account of what she knows concern
ing the trouble which has been visited
upon herself and family.
The Girl's Teitimony.
The testimony of Miss Kathryn Mc
Carthy was Identical with the testi
mony given at the police trial. Bho
told of Doolittle writing her the letter
from Florida In which he asked that
the engagement be broken, stating that
he "feared some harm would befall
her" If It was not done, and how he
explained later that he wrote the letter
because Bush had gone to Florida and
forced him to write It. Miss McCarthy
could not testify to the threats which
are alleged to have been made by Bush,
as these are said to have been made In
the presence of Mrs. McCarthy.
Charlie Doolittle, after appearing be
fore the grand jury, stated that he
mode no further statement In regard to
the matter than he made at the pre
liminary hearing.
The detectives testified to going to
Bush's room, where they plnred hint
under arrest, shortly after the dynamite
box exploded.
Blnce Bush has been Indicted by the
grand Jury It Is probable that Bollcltor
Hill will rail his rase for trial as early
as possible. Judge Roan announced
Wednesday that he would convene the
crimlniil court next Monday and that
Jail cases would be the first taken up.
The case of Bush Is on the jail docket
as he has been unable to give bond In
the sum of 310.000, which was required
of him by Recorder Broyles when he
was bound over to the grand jury.
