Report That National Guard
Will Be Called Out Intensi
fies Bitterness—Body
guards Employed.
Charleston, W. Va„ Jan. 28.—Threats
of impeachment against Governor W.
El Glasscock, of West Virginia, were
made today by the Democratic mem
bers of the legislature. They accuse
him of high-handed, czar-llke methods,
holding up tho work of the legislature
and generally conducting himself In a
haughty and autocratic manner incom
patible with tho workings of a repub
lican commonwealth.
A situation more dangerous than has
existed In any other state since the
Civil war Is rapidly brewing and for
the seoond time there were reports to
dy that troops may be called out. The
Imbroglio originaly arose over the se
lection of United' States senators to
succeed Stephen B. Elkins and Nathan
B. Scott.
8elb*rt Takes Lead.
Representative Seibert, of Berkeley
county, has taken the lead In the cam
paign against Governor Glasscock, who
Is a Republican. He declared today
that he would call a meeting of Demo
crats. who are In the malorlty In both
houses of tho legislature, within a few
days.
Today’s threat to call out the na
tional guard Intensified the bitterness
which already existed. The hostility Is
so marked that Governor Glasscock
sent a message to Senator Sliver In
which he declared that If the Demo
crats persisted in their efforts to carry
out their legislative program, a situa
tion would arise which would make the
presence of soldiers necessary.
Fighta Are Common.
Fights are common and threats of
bloodshed aro so frequent that some
members of tho legislature have em
ployed body guards.
Charges of corruption are heard on
•very hand.
With the Republicans lined up against
tbs Democrats to prevent legislative ac
tion. the Democrats have a faction In
their own party to contend with. Sen-
stor Nelson Hubbard, son of Congress
man W. P. Hubbard, of Ohio county, Is
leading the Democratic legislative bolt
ers and Is threatening revelations In
his own ranks which will cause a great
scandal.
Chinese New Year Promises
Some New Features
This Time.
Chinese New Tear's, which comes on
Sunday, promises this season to be
something more than a gentle orgy
gtn drinking, Incense burning and
llrecrackery episode.
If the edict of the Son of Heaven,
otherwise the emperor of China, reaches
the few faithful who still walk the
streets of Atlanta adorned with queues
before daybreak Sunday, the Oriental
celebration will be marked with a pig
tail severing program.
Backed by a sepre of powerful man
darlns and Wu Ting-fang, former am
bassador to the United States and i
progressive Chinaman, the Imperial
court, from the depths of the Forbidden
City In Pekin, has said that the queue
must go.
According to telegraphic advlees.
Hongkong has set the pace, and within
the last week the Engllsh-Chlnese city
witnessed the novel spectacle of the
passing of 11.000 pigtails.
San Francisco, where the powerful
six companies hold the deetlnles of 10,-
000 Chinese In their hands, has been In
the throes of queue-cutting for weeks.
New York's Tong men are following
the route, and Chinatown there, so they
say, Is beginning to resemble a vicinity
of round heads.
Atlanta boasts about 60 very pro
gresslve Chinamen and a queue here Is
a rarity Instead of the rule. At the
East Hunter-st. Joss house, where the
head of the Tee Sings hold forth and
sell Atlantans Chinese Jim cracks, play
fan-tan and drink seductive gin. the
pigtail Is a forgotten emblem of a lotus
land.
What few Chinese there are In At
lanta who still cling to the mark of
serfdom, which the Tartars Inflicted
upon China 400 years ago. will make
New Year’s complete by relegating their
queues to false hair for nice ladles.
Boy of 7 Saves Chum
From Death in Well
Guy A. Dunop, Jr„ altho only seven,
has already proved himself a hero of
the highest type and has the saving of
one life to his credit. He and his two
playmates, Thomas Corrigan, aged six,
and Charles Corrigan, aged four, were
all playing in the DUnlop yard on
Spring-st„ near Twelfth-st, when the
trouble began.
Thomas, In a spirit of bravado, start
ed to walk a narrow plank which was
laid across an .open well_1 a-the yard.
Half way across he slipped and fell In
the well, which had about flve feet of
water In It Quick ns a flesh Guy seized
a plank which was lying on the ground
and bracing It against the opposite
side of the well, told Tom to take hold.
Tom was quick to seize the life-saver
and Guy Just managed to hold him up
until the servant girt came out to his
aid and pulled the little boy out of the
water. -

The gourd In question Is the size of
a big club, about three feet long and
about twenty Inches In circumference.
It very much resembles the ex-presl-

DECISION COMES MONDAY
ON JOURNALS DEMURRER
Future of the Government’s
Activity in Postal Investi
gation Is Matter of
Doubt.
After a week'* deliberation the Unit
ed States grand Jury, Saturday after
noon, reported “no bill" In the case*
against The Constitution Publishing
Company, Roby Robinson, William
Crusselle, Wallace Rhodes and James
A. Norton, for conspiracy to defraud
the government of divers large sums
of money. "-*
Attorneys for the government at
tempted to show that Roby Robinson,
vice president and manager of The
Constitution, attempted to influence
W. IT. Wynne, former postofTlce clerk,
to fall to weigh and to underweigh the
malls and thereby defraud the govern
ment of Its postage, when he (Robin
son) made a contract with Wynne, us
ing the name of J. A. Morgan for the
hauling of The Constitution's mall.
The “no bill" contained a copy of the
contract entered Into between Robin

AS WIFE IS RELEASED
General Belief That Mrs. L. F.
Schenck Will* Never Again
Face Bar of Justice.
Wheeling, W. Va„ Jan. 28—lira.
Laura. Farnsworth Schenck was re
leased from custody today upon her
own recognizance by Judge Jordan,
upon plea that she could not furnish
810,000 ball. Just a few moments be
fore she stepped from the doors of the
Ohio county court house, virtually a
free woman, her husband, John O.
Schenck, whose life she was accused of
trying to take with poison, hail filed a
suit for divorce and had secured an In
junction restraining Mrs. Schenck from
entering the Schenck mansion and from
Interfering with Mr. Schenck In any
way.
Mrs. Schenck wept with Joy as slit
stepped oht Into the sunshine after heri
long confinement In Jail. The Spartan [
firmness which marked her demeanor
during the long trial gave way.
"I don't know what I shall do," said
she. "But I have friends who believe In
me and trust me. Most of all, 1 want
to see my children.'
Prosecutor Handlan opposed a reduc
tlon of Mrs. Schenek's ball from 810.000
and was sustained by the court. The
general belief prevailed that Mrs,
Schenck, would, never again face the
bnr of Justice, One report stated that
her husband had offered a large sum of
money If she would not contest the di
vorce case and would leave Wheeling
forever.
Criminal action may be taken against
the residents of Wheeling who publicly
Insulted Juror Hcymann, the sole mem
ber of the Jury who stood out for the
conviction of Mrs. Schenck. When
criminal court convened this morning
Prosecuting Attorney Handlan ap
peared and asked the court to take cog
nizance of the matter.
Hoymann Insulted.
"Mr. Heymann was insulted by _
number of entire strangers to him upon

contract was made for a period of four

In the case against The Constitution
Publishing Company and others It was
alleged by the government that {he

she government by sending thru the
malls copies of the Tri-Weekly Consti
tution, marked-"Agonts-Coplcs." when
such was not tho case, and that, the

Hostage at the rate of 1 cent for each

Future of Investigation.
Whether or not the refusal of the
grand Jury to bring In the. indtetmenta
mentioned means an end of the probe In
Atlanta, Assistant Attorney General
Akerman refused to state. Altho the
grand Jury will report for buslnesa
again Monday, It Is hardly probable any
more postofitce cases will be brought
to the attention of that body.
It Is not believed, however, by those
who have been following the progress
of-the investigation that the govern
ment will cease It* activity. Tho fail
ure of the prosecuting officials to se
cure a true bill Saturday does not pre
vent another attempt In the same di
rection. It Is possible for the same
matter to be called to the attention of
another grand Jury, but whether or not
this would be done Mr. Akerman would
not say.
Neither would .Mr. Akerman state
what would probably be the plan pur
sued In other parts of the country. It
wns reported some time ago that the
probe applied to conditions In Atlanta
was only the beginning of others which
would be started In all the big cities of
the country, and It Is believed that this
will still be done. It Is known that Mr.
Akerman, Is In touch with Washington
and the department of Justice, and It Is
possible that Instructions will be Issued
which will prevent the probe from go
ing deeper in Atlanta. It Is believed
that nothing will be done until nfter
the decision of Judge Newman regard
ing the demurrer filed by The Atlanta
Journal Company and Its men to the
indictment returned several days ago
charging conspiracy to defraud the gov
emment.
Judge Newman announced In court
Saturday morning that hc would make,
a decision In this on Monday. That Is
also the date set for the trial of the
defendants, but should the decision of
Judge Newman overrule the demurrer.
It Is thought that the trial of the case
will be postponed. If the decision sus
tains the demurrer, the defendants can
not be placed on trial under the present
Indictment.
CENTER RILL OBJECTS

Asks Injunction Against City
Contractor to Stop Bury

On behalf of John Starr, George A.
Speer, H. J. Ellis, John H. - Doyle and
about -85 other residents of the Four
teenth district. Attorney H. H. Turner
filed a petition for a temporary and
permanent Injunction against Lewis
Williams and J. A. Couch Saturday,
seeking to restrain them from using a
certain tract of land near Mayson and
Turner’s Ferry and Peyton roads, at
Center Hill, os a burial ground for the
carcasses of dead animals. Judge Ellis
heard the petition and appointed Wed
nesday as the date for hearing the case,
refusing to sign a temporary injunction.
The petitioners, all of whom are resi
dents of that section, charge that the
use .of the ground for that purpose Is
positive and repelling nuisance. The)

He announced that hc would probably

Judge Jordan stated that he would

The prosecutor next appealed to the
court to Investigate certain newspaper

with the case. He asked that the pa

or else that the grand Jury be Instruct

Dsn Phillips Named.
The bill filed In the divorce proceed
Inga asks divorce upon statutory
grounds, Dan Phillips being named the
co-respondent. It Is unlikely that Mrs.
Schenck will offer a defense In view of
the testimony relative to her relations
with Phillips given In the poison case.
The Information that Schenck had
filed divorce proceedings was borne to
Mrs. Schenck as she sat.In court where
her attorneys were trying to have her
ball reduced. She seemed stunned for
a minute; then tossed her head and
said:
, "I want my children, but I must talk
with my lawyers before I say anything
about my future plans."
Fight For Children.
John O. Schenck will moke a des
perate effort to retain his boy and girl
and will make a struggle against pay
ing alimony, altho It Is believed that he
will allow her to retain the palatial
Schenck mansion.
One feature which enters Into the di
vorce proceedings Is the payment of
Mrs. Schenek's attorneys. Under the
state laws, Mr. Schenck Is still legally
responsible for hla wife's debts and will
bo until they are divorced.
The opinion prevailed about the court
house that Mrs. Schenck would retain
the lawyers who battled 10 valiantly
for her In the poison cose, should It be
decided to fight divorce proceedings. J,
’. O'Brien and Samuel O. Boyce, of
J. P.
her counsel, arc among the best known
attorneys In the state.
A conference of Mrs. Schenek's law
yers was held, when It was reported that
they discussed terms of a settlement.
According to this report, the following
offer wns suggested; That John O.
Schenck pay his wife the lump sum of
850,000 and allow her to retain the
Slienek residence. The children are to
be well located and the mother Is to be
allowed to see them any time she de
sires. However, this report was uncon
firmed.
Grand Jury Wouldn’t Indict
Them, But Tells Chief
to Get Busy.
Refusing to Indict the list of auto
mobile owners whose names were pre
sented, the grand Jury on Saturday dis
posed of the charges of exceeding the
speed limit on public highways, by In
structing Chief Rowan, of the county
police, to make coses against them In
the Atlanta criminal court.
Seventy-two names were submitted,
chnrglng the offense of operating auto
mobiles above 20 miles an hour, and
the city criminal court will conse
quently have to deal with that number
of owners. Chief Rowan will no doubt
get busy shortly making out these
esses.
Dr. \V. J. Blalock, foreman of the
grand Jury, stated that It was the opin
ion of the Jury that these cases would
not be sustained on grand Jury Indict
ments, and that a more effective plan
would be to try them In the city court.

HARD TIMES AHEAD
OF THIS YOUNG MAN
With a spectacular life story that
would furnish material for a romance In
fiction. Claude Seals, a pleasant-faced,
nubum-halred youth of but nineteen
years, until a few montns ago a cowboy
on a South Dakota ranch, occupies a
cell in the Atlanta police station, a con
fessed highwayman. As hc paces the
narrow confines of his cell the boyish
prisoner Is In a unique predicament—
he not only faces a long term In the
Georgia penitentiary for highway rob
bory. but hc Is tortured by the fear that
he may pay the death penalty on the
gallows In Alabama for a similar crime.
Found with "the goods on" from a
highway robbery In Birmingham Thurs
day night and admitting that he aided
In the hold-im of the two Jewelers.
Aaron Malltz and Joseph Levy, at Pry-
or-st. and Trlnlty-ave., on the night of
January 20. the young man anxiously

whether they will try him first for the
Atlanta crime or send him to Birming

Ceker. tvho Is already In the Tower on
another highway robbery chnrge, nnd
Claude O'Shlelds. another Atlanta boy,
now under arrest In Birmingham at the
Instigation of Police Chief Jennings.
The police believe that the arrest of
these three has solved the mystery
of the series of bold robberies commit
ted during the past few tVeeks In this
city.
While Seals has made no positive
statement. It Is believed he will also
confess to tho robbery of two men on
the Mngnolla-st. bridge, a short dis
tance -from his home.
It Is expected that O'Shlelds and
nosa Armstrong, an Atlanta woman ar
rested with him In Birmingham, will
both be brought back to Atlanta Batur.
day afternoon or night. Detectives
Black and Bullard have gone to Bir
mingham after the two prisoners. Some
of the Jewelry taken from Mnlltx nnd
Levy Is said to have been found on
O'Shlelds.
Tom Pittman, a young Atlanta man
who la believed to have also been a
member of the gang of highwaymen, Is
being aought by the police, but Is still
at large.
Arrested Before Station.
Reals' nrrest Friday night was dra
matic, he being taken into custody by
Police Call Officer Charlie Hood as hc
passed In front of the police station
with Tom Pittman. At that time Pitt
man wns not suspected ns an accom
plice and succeeded In getting away. It
wns Inter that a message came from
Birmingham that he. too, was wanted
for the Birmingham Job.
Seals was found with the booty taken
from the victim of the Birmingham
hold-up. This consisted of a handsome
815a diamond ring, a diamond pin with
fifteen diamonds, a gold watch and
chain, n fountain pen and nn overcoat.
The ring was found secreted in the lin
ing of his tousers.
"You know, Just for fun, I thought I
would pass the police station last
night," said the youth Saturday mom
ing, as he smiled faintly, ‘‘but It doesn’t
seem so much like a Joke now. It was
Just a kind of daredevil feeling,
fact I passed In front of the station
twice—Just once too often. I guess."
A Woman, As Ususl.
Seals came to Atlanta from Birming
ham Friday morning In search of a
young woman, Ola Wlmblah, who, he
says, went to the Alabama city with
him. There they fell out nnd separat-
Repentlng of his harsh words to
the woman, the youth came here look
ing for her for the purpose of "mak
ing up." It was this love for the wom
an that caused him to fall Into the tolls.
Falling to find the woman, he was ex
pecting to leave Friday night for Mem.
phis.
“I never had a chance In life," said
the youth Saturday to a Georgian re
porter, In a disconsolate tone. “I was
placed In the Fulton county reforma
tory when I was but eleven years old
and remained there, the constant asso
ciate of a lot of bad boys until a few
years ago. When I was released I wss
anything but reformed—In fact I felt
like Just being a bad man. nnd the de
sire to be mean was so strong I
could not overcome It."
Seals went West more than a year
ago, and until last September was a
cow puncher on a South Dakota ranch.
He waa thrown from his broncho one
day. sustaining' a fractured back and
broken shoulder, and this caused him
to return to Atlanta.
