Henderson Is held (or the murder of
Sulie Holley last Monday night. Hen-
rTHuft, another negro suapect, was or
dered held by a coroner's Jury a few
days ego for the same crime, which
means that both negroes will go before
the grand Jury, a chain of circumstan
tial evidence having been woven about
each of them.
Evidence was also presented In an
effort to fasten on Henderson the mur
der of Lena Sharpe on Saturday night,
July 1, but the recorder held It Insuffi
cient and dismissed this case.
In the Holley case It was shown that
Henderson was seen with the woman
about 11 o'clock on the night of the
killing, and other circumstances were
ihovn to contradict statements he had
made concerning his movements on
that night. Henderson madeai lengthy
Itatement, denying he Is g<mty.

Zebra Bom In Captivity.
New York, July 17.—The first sebra
ever bom in captivity appeared today
at the Bronx soologlcal gardens. Cura--

child ora doing well
Washington, July 17.—William M.
Burgess, a contractor of Duluth, Minn
was the first witness today before the
Lorlmer Investigating committee. Bur-
gess testified In regard to a conversation
which he said he had last March with
C. F. Wlehe, secretary of the Hines
Lumber Company, and a. brother-in
law of Edward Hines, on a train en
route from Duluth.
The witness said he was In the smok
lng compartment when he encountered
Wlehe and two of the Weyerhouser
brothers. In the course of the conver
sation, said Burgess, the Lorlmer case
came up, and Wlehe boasted that he
knew money had been used to obtain
Lorlmer's election, because he, Wlehe,
had contributed to the Lorlmer elec-
tlon fund.
"Wlehe told me," said Burgess, “that
Lorlmer had not spent any of his own
money, but that there was a 'Jackpot'
raised.
“ 'I know what I am talking about I
contributed «10,000 myself,' said Wlehe
to me."
Burgess then related a story he said
he heard about a Chicago detective
whose name he did not know who was
sent .to get evidence against Lorlmer.
Subsequently the detective went to
Father Green, a Catholic priest for con
fession, and told him of his efforts to
get evidence against Lorlmer.
Chicago newspapers learned of this
and threatened to publish an account
of the matter, said Burgess.
The story was not clear to Burgess
and he was vague in telling It to the
committee. He explained In answer to
a question asked by Senator Kenyon
that he thought It remarkable that an
entire stranger, ouch as Wlehe waa to
him, should tell him of having con
tributed $10,000 to Lorlmer's election
fund.
"Because It was so peculiar I made
Inquiries as to who Wlehs was,” said
witness.
Later, on advice of his attorney, Bur
gess said he had written a letter to Ed
itor Kohlsaat, of The Chicago Record-
Herald, telling him what he had testi
fied today. It was because of this that
he was summoned, be said:
"What did Wlehe tell you about the
Illinois legislature?" asked Mr. Healy.
counsel for the committee.
"He told me It was Impossible to get
bills thru the legislature without the
use of money,” replied Burgess.

DELAY OF AMBULANCE
MAY HAVE COST A LIFE
Jo# Watkins, aged 21, cf 21 Homer-
et., died Saturday night after an-arm
and leg had been crushed off at the
Hampton-et. railroad crossing. He was
returning from a visit to a young worn
an about I o’clock when In crossing
the tracks he was run over by the
train. A negro man was hart at the
same time and his cries first attracted
the attention of the railroad men. A
call waa lent to the Orady hospital
and the negro rushed to the hospital.
In the meantime the boy waa discov
ered unconscious In tbe -darkness and
another call waa tent In. The Orady
officials realised that the hones, which
had Just returned from the three-mile
run, were In no condition to make a
second trip and phoned for the polleo
auto patrol. It atarted and broke
down on the way. The hospital waa
notified and then sent Its weary '
back to the ecene. Conslderabl
had elapsed and tbe boy was slowly
bleeding to death, with no eurgeon to
stop the flow of blood.
Some one, thinking that tbe youth
might yet be saved, phoned for Bar
clay A Brandon's private ambulance
and the boy was rushed to a private
hospital, where he died on entering. It
Is believed that If the automobile am
bulance which has been ordered for the
Orady hospital bad been here the young
man's life could have been saved.

Those Killed in Explosion.
Denver, Colo., July 17.—Three to six
men are reported killed and twenty oth
ers Injured In an explosion which de
stroyed one of the main buildings of
the DuPont Powder Wonts at Louvler.
20 miles south of here, early today.

Commission government Is being vig
orously urged In Jersey City, a suburb
of New York, with about 250,000 In
habitants. Hundreds of the leading
cities of the country are urging the
plan, but the peculiar thing In Jersey
City Is that the mayor and all city offi
cials are strong for It.
Dan Carey, general managerof parks,
has Just returned from New York,
where he went to purchase animals for
the Grant park zoo, and he brought
back a pamphlet that-It being distrib
uted In Jersey City explaining this new
form of gpvemment, and why Jersey
City should adopt It.
The reason for the city officials tak
ing the exactly opposite position to
that of Atlanta's officials Is that the
real powers In politics there are the
bosses. The new officials taw a chance
to break down this boss rule and they
began the agitation for commlsalon
government
Jersey City has another advantage
over Atlanta In that the fight Is solely
before the people. An act known aa the
Woodrow Wilson bill gives every city
and town the right to have an election
on commission government. It la re
called that a similar bill has been In
troduced In tbe Georgia legislature by
Senator Karri*.
But Mr, Carey's real mission in New
York was to purchaae animals for the
too and he haa secured a fine collodion
which will be shipped ea soon -as the
heat wave leaves New York. He bought
a pair of fine Hone, one clouded leopard,
a male Jaguar, a mare camel, a white
tailed gnu, which Is the horned horse;
a Canadian lynx, a pair of fallow deer
and a female Hama.
LABOR DAY THIS YEAR
WILL BE BIGGEST YET
Atlanta’s Labor day celebration thta
year will be the biggest and most elab
orate ever attempted by the local body.
This la the assurance that comes from
the general Labor day committee of
the Atlanta Federation of Trades, In
charge of the celebration.
At the regular Saturday night meet
ing of the committee, held in Federation
hall, the suggestion that the parade
take place at night Instead of In the
morning, to escape the ueual heat, wae
voted down, but the hour of forming
wae set for 9 o'clock in the morning, an
hour earlier than has heretofore ob
tained.
James L. Mayson, chairman of the
finance committee, reported that the
finances of the organisation were in
better shape than ever before, assuring
the Federation of the best celebration
In the history of Atlanta. Carl Kars-
ton, chairman of the float committee,
said that a number of buslneae con
cerns had already applied for positions
in the parade and the float feature, this
year would compare favorably with
that of former parades. The commit
tee on speakers, headed by Jerome
Jones, was not ready to report, at least
definitely, upon this feature of the pro
gram. Mr. Jones said It was the In
tention of the committee to secure men
of national reputation to address the
crowd, but he wae not ready to name
them at this time.

being manifested by Atlantane In the
forthcoming production of "Test of the
Stormy Country," a dramatisation of
the book of the same name. The etory
by Grace Miller White and the

wae one of the biggest hits produced by
Henry Bavage last season. The play
will bo given for the first time on any
stage, at the Lyric the evening of July
31, and will be the attraction at the
theater all that week. The production
will serve to attract te Atlanta a num
ber of men who stand high In the the
atrical circles of this country. They

play the book makes.
In "Teea of the Storm Country.” Mies
Bunting will be seen In the leading role,
and when the regular season opens she
will etar in the play, making a tour of
the United States from coast to coast.'

Incident which happened not long ago
when Mr. Hughes was a visitor in At
lanta. First of all, It should be stated
that Mr. Hughes look* very much like
Dlclc" Outcault, the famous originator
of the "Yellow Kid" and "Buster
Brown." He has the same sort of black
mustache wears glasses and his hair,
has tho genlusy look like that which
gtjorns Outcault'* head.
Outcault, by .the way, la an old friend
of Julian Harris, editor of Uncle Re
mus's Home Magaslne. Away back In
1894 or 1895, Outcault came to Atlanta
to do some pictures for a Northern
trade paper. At the time there waa a
big electrical exhibition being held In
one of the old state fair buildings at
Piedmont park. When he had about
completed hie work. Outcault ran short
of funde, and, fearing the advent of hot
weather, he made an effort to get back
home. He eald he couldn't possibly
wait until the arrival of his salary
check. Mr. Harris and Robert Adam
son, who were reporter* on Tbe Consti
tution, had made Outcault't acquain
tance, and. learning of hie predicament,
they raised the money necessary to put
the artist back In Gotham. Adamson
Is now secretary to Mayor Gaynor of
New York.
A short time ago, when Mr. Harris
spied, In the dining room of the Pied
mont, a gentleman who looked enough
like Outcault to have been his twin
brother, he didn't healtate an Instant,
but rushed over and (lapped the gen
tleman heartily on the back.
"Hello, Dick, old man!" he exclaimed,
"what brlnge you to Atlanta?”
The gentleman picked up his glasses
from the floor where the ehock of the
greeting had sent them, and glared at
the magazlte editor.
("Ydu'll have to excuse me." said he,
"but my name isn't Dick."
Explanations followed. It wasn t
Outcault. It- was Rupert Hughes, and
Mr. Hughes-Is a friend of Oiftcault'a.
so he and Mr. Harris became friends
because'Sadi Is a friend of "Buster
‘—Mention of Rupert Hughes at the per. Brown's" father. Mr. Harrie had know-n
of Hughes'for year, as a playwright
end'author, and. being something of a
crank on the subject of the drama, he
made himself so agreeable that Hughes
refused to let him go until each hod
exhausted their fund of Ideas concern
lng the stage. . .
• It is well-nigh certain that Mr.
Hughes will come to Atlanta to watch
rehearsals of hi* new play so ** to
make such change* os seem to him to
b* necessary. In ths meantime. Stags
Director Leonard, tho scenic artists and
property men are planning to make the
production of "Tees of the Storm
Country" a notable one In the annals
of the stage In Atlanta.
