Strike Soon.
ARTIST EARLE WELCOMES NOTORIETY;
PUBLIC WILL BUY MY PAINTING NOW’
Local telegraph operator* who are on
•trike laugh at the report-that the dif
ference* between the companies and
the operators are about to be settled,
and pronounce It a "fake'’ emanating
from the telegraph offices.
•■There’s no likelihood of our getting
together very soon." they say. “and
certainly none of our making any con
cessions. That Is merely a report sent
out from the companies. They hope to
hold out a hope of settlement to the
operators and then suddenly disappoint
them, hoping to have the weak mem
bers become disheartened and go back
to work anyway.
‘‘TheVe has been no suffering In our
ranks and this Is the beginning of the
fifth week of the strike. We have only
about fifteen men out of work now, of
the many who walked out, the others
having found permanent or temporary
employment and being very well satis
fied to hold out as long as Is necessary.”

JUDGEJA1DF0R0
Commutes Sentence of New
Orleans Man Convicted
of Fraud.
Washington, Sept. 9.—President
Roosevelt today commuted the two
years' Imprisonment sentence of Judge
James L. Bradford, of New Orleans, to
expire October 20. Judge Bradford
already has served two months.
The only condition under which ex
ecutlve favor could be secured was that
Bradford should return to the govern
ment the thousand or more acres of
valuable land In Louisiana which be
had fraudulently secured and pay the
fine of 15,500.
Bradford was one of the South's rich
est and most prominent attorneys.
December 23, 1905, he was convicted In
New Orleans of the crime of conspi
racy, but fought with every legal
weapon nosslble up to the United States
supreme court until June 10 this year,
when the doors of the parish prison
closed on him.
Bowed with the weight of 70 years
and the shocking disgrace, Bradford’s
condition became so pitiful a* to attract
the sympathetic support of bankers,
clergy, business and professional men
to many Southern states.

Affair.
New Tork, Sept. 1 9.—That Artist Fer
dtnand Plnney Earle, of Monroe. N. Y.,
who separated from his wife in order
that she might get a divorce so as to
permit him to wed his "affinity.” Miss
Julia Kuttner, of Bethlehem, Pa., ex-
pecta to be enriched by the notoriety
which attaches to the case, is evidenced
by a statement he made to an Inter
viewer.
He said:
"What a good thing this will be for
my painting. My name will be brought
before the public as It never was be
fore. People who look upon a picture
which bfars the signature of Ferdinand
Plnney Earle will purchase It. It may
mean thousands of dollars, to me."
Earle says he may write a book and
In It tell wtfr he set aside his wife. ^
"Miss Kuttner," said the artist, “says
my wife was an enigma to me. That
Is true. It was not that she dlsagretd
with my socialism or my painting, but
there were racial differences and her
temperament clashed with mine. My
wife Is a splendid woman and I have
been brutal to her, but unintentionally
brutal. These stories about my having
blackened my wife's eyes arc untrue,
but I will sny that if matters had con
tinued ns they were, I believe we both
would have been dead.”
REDUCED R ATES
TO FAIR DOUBTFUL
Mrs. Ferdinand R. Earle and
Ferdinand R. Earle, the eccentric
artist, have decided to separate,
the wife to return to her home In
France and sue for a divorce so
that her husband may marry Miss
Julia Kuttner, of Bethlehem, Pa.,
whom he has recognized as his
"affinity.” Both Mr. and Mrs.
Earle believe that happiness should
be tho first consideration. They
do not love each other as they once
did. Mr. Earle has settled half his
fortune on his accommodating wife,
who by the way. Is very fond of
the woman who Is to be her suc
cessor and entertained her at 'her
' home. A picture of Harold, 2-yfcar-
old son of Earle, Is shown.
NOTED BISHOP IS
IN
Considerable speculation Is being In
dulged in as to whether or not the rail
roads will grant reduced rates to the
state fnir here next month. If these
rates are granted, the matter will be
attended to when the general passenger
agents of the various roads In the
Southeastern Passenger Association
meet Tuesday In Atlanta.
Some Incline to tho belief that the
roads will not put these rates into ef
fect this year on account of the action
of the railroad commission In reducing
the maximum fare from 3 cents. Two
railroad officials talked In this manner,
but others were not In a position to
make a statement. ,
This question will be put up to the
tassenger officials during their meeting
ty a committee from the fair associa
tion.

The Georgian goes to one out of every seven of the people in Atlanta with its message
