Weather Man Says Atlanta Is Due for Her Share of Cold Wave. Cheer up. You're not the only one thst'e cold. Atlanta got off light compared with ■ome eectlons of the country. At noon Monday tho mercury had fallen from 66 to 44. Tha local bureau predicts that the thermometer will show aa low sa $5 by Tuesday. But this Is by no meant* nut of the ordinary for the time of year. It waa as low as 16 degrees above November 81, 1867, and November 87, 1908, It dropped to 18 above. The cold wave, which started early Monday morning, has swept the entire country. But the forecast for Atlanta Is not so gloomy sfter all. It Is pre dicted that within a day or two It will get warm, again, and Ihe official prog nosticator says, too, that Tuesday and Wednesday will be fair and clear, no matter how cold It gets. Brooding over the lops of his posi tion, from which he was discharged, J. H. Claiborne, until a week ago book keeper for tho Atlanta club and fonder assistant manager and bookkeeper for the Capital City club, committed sui cide shortly after 8 o'clocic Monday morning by shooting himself In ths head with a pistol. The tragedy oc curred at the home of Claiborne's brother. W. R. Claiborne, 410 Edge- wood-ave„ where the former boarded. Claiborne was 64 years of age and un married. Claiborne shot himself just over ths right ear, the bullet passing thru the brain. He waa In the bath room In the rear of the house at the time and waa undresaed, having Juat risen from his bed. No one In the house heard the fatal shot fired, the tragedy being discovered by Henry Claiborne, seventecn-year- Id son of W. R. Claiborne, an ho started Intq the bath room. As young Claiborne opened the bath room door, which had been closed, but not fust- enfed, he was horrified to discover his uncle lying prone on the floor In his night clothes and In a pool of blood, a revolver close by h|s head. A physi cian was Immediately summoned, hut a hasty examination showed that Clai borne was dead. \ Members of the family say Claiborne had been III for the past three weeks and this Is supposed to havo augment- od the despondency caused by the lone of his position at the club, the two In cidents combined driving him In des peration to seek solace In the grave. It had boen noted for several days that C'l.ilbotne was morose and very much worried, but he had given no Intima tion that he Intended ending his life. Claiborne slept late Monday morning and when his brother went In to arouso him shortly before 8 o'clock he re marked : "I'm not feeling well this morning, but I'll get up after a while." That was the last time he was seen alive. W. R. Claiborne left the room and Immediately went out In Auburn- ave He gone but a /Bu- minutes, and when he returned Inquired If his brother had arisen. He was answered In th« nega tive. A few minutes latrr and young Henry Claiborne had discovered his uncle dead In the bath room. Claiborne had been connected with the Atlanta club as bookkeeper for some time and was well liked by tho officials and members. About a week ago, however, he was discharged on,1 his position given to another.

Former club bookkeeper, who committed sulcid* on Monday morning. The Georgia Railway and Electric Company officially announced Monday morning that four new pay-as-you- enter cars.for the Brookwood-Peach- tree-Whltehall lines will he put Into service on the morning of Wednesday, December 7. These four will he fol lowed by five others as soon as the company’s shops romplete them, which. It Is estimated, will be about January 1. The nine new cars will take the place of nine short cars now operating In the Rrookw.md-West End service. The new cars, which have been under construc tion at the company's plant for several months, will contain about 80 per cent Increase In seating rapacity over the present cars, since they will seat 86 passengers, os against the 28 seats in the present cars. There are seven cars In the Pied mont park-West End service on the Peachtree-Whltehall line, and as soon as ihe company can build new pay-as- you enter cars these eeven will be also replaced by the new type. This popu lous route will, therefore, be given considerable relief from Its present crowded condition during rush hours, not only thru the Increase In the seat ing rapacity of the car, but also by reason of the pay-ss-you-entrr feature, which Is designed to add to the safety, comfort and convenience of passengers and greatly expedite the loading and unloading of passengers. The Introduction of the longer cars for city routes was made possible this year, the ofllclsls of ths company state, thru a new Invention In double trucks. The new Invention permits the longer cars to take sharp curves and angles, where the former double trucks would not permit of this condition. By rea son of the Introduction of these new tracks, the company. It Is stated, will hereafter build onljr the longer type of car for service In Atlanta, using the present eupply of short cars for less crowded routes and extra service when necessary.
