SECOND SECTION. ATLANTA, GA„ SATURDAY, JUNE 15,1907. PRTf'TO. In Atlanta: TWO CK.VT8. ' i JAIAEi. 0ll Xr«ln»: FIVE CENTS. resultsintrageoy Prominent Citizen Shot Fol lowing Bad Feeling Caus ed by Circular. Brownsville. Tex., June IB.—Colonel g H. Wreford, one of the most promi nent cltisens of the city, was killed and Jesse Thornhnm, n step-son of Cap lin William Kelly, the wealthiest res ident of this section, wns arrested last evening charged with the shootjng. The tragedy grows out of the Investiga tion by the senate committee on mili tary affairs at Washington, of the shooting up of Brownsville by negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry. The shooting took place In front of Captain Kelly's office yesterday. Wre ford was shot twice with a shot gun and died In about half an hour. Colonel Wreford was one of Browns vllls's leading cltlxens, a merchandise broker and about SO years of age. Col. one! Wreford had Issued a circular at tacking Captain Kelly's testimony be fore the senate military committee a few weeks ago. Captain Kelly testified that the negroes of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, stationed here prior to the raid, were discriminated against, not only by the people, but by the police force. In all other matters Captain Kelly's testimony stood squarely by the people of Brownsville. It appears that this feature of the testimony angered Colonel Wreford, causing him to issue the circular which resulted in the shooting. CREDIT MEN BOOST CANNON'S BOE Chicago, June IB,—For a mild, re tiring and more or less' unassuming presidential boom, that' of "Favorite Son" Joseph O. Cannon proved Itself last night to be possessed of a large amount of vitality. Speaker Cannon was the guest of the National Association of Credit Men, which closed a three days' annual ses sion with a banquet at the Auditorium. Judge Peter 8. Orosscup started It. "I am not going to speak long,” he said: ‘‘I shall touch only the high places of the address I had prepared, because here I find we have my friend, the next president of the United States.” Then the banqueters went wild. WALSH REBUFFED BY THE U. S. COURT Chicago, June IB.—John R. Walsh met with many rebuffs and two con cessions at the hands of Judge A. B. Anderson In the United States district court yesterday. The case ,of the for mer bank president came again to the attention of the court through the plea of Attorney J. S. Miller for a bill of particulars from the government, and a further attempt to have the Indictment against Mr. Walsh quashed on grounds of technical errors. The court announced It was Inclined to sustain the indictment In all except two counts. As there are 180 counts In the second Indictment alone and the first one has been sustained, the attor neys for the government were pretty well satisfied. Judge Anderson also made It plain that he would refuse to force the gov ernment to grant a bill of particulars to Mr. Walsh's attorneys. 2,500 WITNESS NEGRO EXECUTED Special to The Georgian. Milton, Fla., June IB.—Nathan S. Woodall, colored, was hanged In the Jail yard yesterday for the murder of Walter N’owllng, white, at Chumuckla, Fla., twenty-five miles from here, on January 26.

These men have all spent four years or more in college work and will welcome the change to the practical side of life for which they hive fitted themselves. Some of the members of the clast entered the Sub-Freshman clasa live years ago, and have been through the entire course, while most entered In 1903 as Frephmen.

OLYMPIC THEATER BURNS IN CHICAGO Vandalism Reported From Many Households in England. indy, after some scuffling, locked her partner Into a room that was not be ing used and calmly left him there, a really clever feat, which apparently won applause from all her best friends. ■But worse generally follows, for supper Is enlivened by throwing bread pellets or any other missiles that come handy, while afterwnrd. If the night Is fairly warm, It la quite the thing to go in pairs to stroll about outside on the pavement, or In the height of summer even to sit on the doorsteps near your host's house. "There Is a story of a well known man leaving a ball who walked down a whole row of hansoms, apparently waiting for hire, only to find In each a couple seated, complacently smoking cigarettes. "It Is really the cigarette mania, to which young ladles are quite as much slaves as young men, that has brought Into fashion not only sitting out. but sitting outside, for the advanced young person of the day professes to And It quite Impossible to exist for a couple of hours without smoking. All this, to say the least of It, is unconven tional. though not so objectlonublo to givers of balls as rowdyism within doors, locking people Into rooms, mak ing hay In wardrobes, and generally playing practical Jokes of a senseless kind at the expense of the unfortunate host and hostess.” America will see next season Adellri# Genee, the only ballet dancer who has ever appeared at Buckingham palace. Mile. Genre Is a favorite of Queen Alexandra, who patronizes her not only for her exquisite dancing, but also for the fact that she comes from her maj esty's own country—Denmark. Adeline Genee has been premiere danseuse at the Empire, where splendid ballets are a feature of the program, for many years. Her work has come to be regarded as the perfection of stage dancing, and she Is called the modern Tagllonl. Queen Alexandra showed her appre ciation of the Danish ballerina's ar: by commanding her to appear at Bucking ham palace to entertain the king and queen of Norway during their recent visit. She will probably receive a sec ond command for the coming visit of ths king and queen of Denmark.

The squalid denlsens of Whitechapel were treated to a fashionable wedding In their midst whsn Miss Fanny Chan- dos-Pole waa married to Ernest S. Martin, heir to Sir Acquln Martin. The anomaly of a West End wedding tak ing place In the East End was due to the fact that Miss Chandos-Pole was married from ths official.residence of her uncle. Sir George Luck, who Is lieutenant governor of the Tower of London. The wedding took place In the nearest Roman Catholic church, which Is the Church of the English Martyrs, in Whitechapel. A guard of wardens of the Tower, In their picturesque "beefeater" dress, marshaled the guests under the frown ing walls of the hoary tower for the reception held after the wedding at the governor's residence. The bride's train was borne by small train-bearers wear ing the "beefeater" dress. This was the only fashionable wed ding that has taken place In the East End for a good many years, a fM days before, however, a bride and bridegroom went straight from tile al tar of a West End church to a feast which they had arranged for the poor of Whitechapel In connection will: a "settlement" they were Interested In. The term "tailor made" In the sci ence of dress has entirely changed its significance. Instead of Implying sim plicity and homespun. It may be cor rectly applied to a gown that Is made of the costliest materials, elaborately trimmed and fit for the most dressy functions. Nothing but the fact that the'trock Is made by a tailor remains of the old “tailor made" tradition. Tailor made dresses, new style, will be much worn ot Ascot, the zenith of the modleh woman's season, and In ths latest new play at the Haymarket the ater, renowned for the elaborate dress- Ing of its aoelety comedies, the ac- ■es wear exquisite tailor made gowns. Home of the new tailor creations are mode of such "dressy" materials as natural colored tussore silk, elabo rately embroidered and lace trlmnsed, line muslin In blue and mauve, white lawn with the tlnrst embroidery and cobweb lace. etc. The correct hat to wear with the 1907 tailor made frock Is a small one. trim med with llowera or shaded plumes, and n large feather boa to match the hat shuuld bo worn. ! By RICHARD ABERCORN. London, June 1B.—The decadence of manners In English society and the growth of "Hooliganism" are becoming more and more prominent as the sub ject of lamentations In the press from members of the older echool, who re member the days when dignity and re pose were distinctive of social func tions in London. In these days the new custom of giving "boy and girl" entertainments, where the hostess un dertakes to chaperon all her girl guests—a quite Impossible feat—has given free play to the Irresponsible high spirits of the younger people and horseplay, romping and general dis order are the degenerate result A deplorable picture of the prevail ing state of things Is given In tits' so ciety paper. "The World," by "A Vic tim." Ho (or she) says: "Dancing, oven of the romping kind. Is much too commonplace an amusement to nil up a whole evening, so the up-to-date young people, when they have had enough of the ballroom, proceed to do a little ragging and bear fighting In other parts of the house. Apple pie neds are made, booby traps are set, wardrobes ransacked, and very often the room of the hostess herself Is vis ited for the purpose of ‘making hay.' Nothing, In fact, Is sacred from the depredations of the young ladles, who apparently are not ashamed of the name of Hooligan, which was bestow ed on them some little time ago. (Hooligan corresponds to 'Tough.') "A few nights since, at one of the smartest balls that have been given this season, a tall, strapping young _ , . ' y
