enormously effective patented features,
that insure perfect combustion and great
fire keeping, using any grade of soft coal.
Get busy investigating this wonderful
stove; it’s a beauty, and a heater, the
equal of which you never saw. Yet it
costs no more than the other kind. f
Keeps fire for 50 hours with one

WHAT'S THE USE OF WORKING
WHEN BEGGARS GROW RICH?
One of Them Made $28 a Day in Last Holiday Season—Fall
Arrivals Beginning, and Associated Charities Goes After
Them—Would Clear Atlanta of Vags.
Determined to rout from the city the
out-of-town beggars who yearly make
their appearance In the South, when
the chilly winds of approaching winter
drive them from the Northern and
Eastern cities, the Associated Charities
has appealed to the police for assistance
in their crusade against these worthless
mendicants.
Already these professional beggars
are adding their number to that of the
resident dependents, and Whitehall and
Peachtree-sts. are at night lined wltk
them, displaying prominently the Infir
mities they rely upon as their main
asset for a livelihood. i
According to Secretary Joseph C. Lo
gan, of the Associated Charities, his
effort to drive these out-of-town beg
gars from the city Is not directed to
ward the amount of money they secure
from the sympathetic public, but
against the Influence that they have
upon those young folk of Atlanta who
have already a tendency toward, worth
lessness. '
Found Begging Paid Best,
As proof of this, Secretary Logan
cites the case of an eighteen-year-old
Atlanta youth, who has had one of his
legs amputated. HIs mother appealed
to the Associated Charities for work for
her crippled son. A position was se
cured for him In a shoe factory, but the
boy, having teen other beggars appar
ently prosperous, has refused to work,
and, sneaking away from his mother
each night, takes up a position upon
one of the main thoroughfares. So ad
dicted to begging has the boy become
that he has refused the proffered aid op

The lecture which Captain Perry AT.
DeLeon will give at 8 o’clock Friday
night in the ball room of the New
Kimball house on the navy of the
Confederacy is one that hae aroused
interest wherever it has been heard.
Captain DeLeon carries with him 180
elides depicting a number of interest
ing events of Southern life during the
sixtlra and also pictures of a number
of beautiful Southern women am) chil
dren in the dress that was worn dur
ing wartimes. Pictures of Henry Gra
dy and Evan P. Howell and a num
ber of famous Confederate leaders will
also be thrown on the screen during
the lecture.
The lecture is given under the nus-
j.lces of the Daughters of the Confed
eracy and the proceeds will go to the
Confederate Soldiers borne.
Recently Captain DeLeon was com
missioned by the Federal government
to deliver his lecture before the stu
dents at Annapolis.
Giving in an interesting form the
data of the engagements in which the
s .uthern battleships took part* from
the battle of Salami® to that In the
n• .t of Japan, Captain DeLeon, who
t..ok part in a number of them him
self, gives due credit to both sides,
and his work is regarded by author!*
ti.« as nn addition to the literature on
the Civil war.
After reading the lecture In pamphlet
form, H. A. Herbert, ex-secretary of
the navy, said: “It Is instructive, en
tertaining and eloquently written. I
have read It with great pleasure. Many
of Its statements In regard to the
personnel of the United State# and
Confederate navies are striking."
Richmond Pearson Hobson, after
h aring it, said: "It Is a lecture of high
character and should be read before the
public* so as to create a more general
inti rest in the Important matter of na-

Joseph F. Johnson, senator from
Alabama, said: "1 have read Captain
DeLeon’s l»ook, ’Navies in War and the
Confederate Navy.’ on which his lec
ture Is based, with great pleasure and
profit. It should be read by every
American, and especially by . every
Southerner."
Senator Bob Caylor, of Tennessee,
writes: "I have read it with absorbing
interest. It it a notable contribution to
history, stated so succinctly that one
gets a grasp of the whole situation at
once."
A number of other notable men who
have heard the lecture or read the
book by Captain DeLeon have written
him voluntary letters congratulating
him upon his work and expressing the
wish that it could be more widely
known throughout the country.
A small admission fee will

ters of the Confederacy are anxious to
have as many ns possible attend the
lecture, both In order to have the pub
lic learn many Interesting facts aboi
the South’s naval history and also to
raise a sum of money to better the con
ditions of the war-wrecked survivors
of the cause.
Captain DeLeon served on several
Confederate ships and on the Albe
marle took part in some of the most
serious water fights between the sec
tions. He has been requested to travel
thru Georgia and speak in many of
the towns and cities and will possibly
do so at an early date.

Another case la that of a young man
of Columbus, Ga., who came to Atlanta
some time ago to look for work. Upon
his arrival he met a professional beg
gar, who told him that begging was
much more, profitable than work, and
the Columbue youth at once became
one of our bezt deaf and dumb coin
gathercre. He wae arrested about a
week ago^and when Judge Broyles sen

Into Secretary Logon's office walked
Tuesday two of the beggars who had
flown to the Southland with the robins.
One wae a deaf and dumb man of gi
gantic proportions, looking as tho he
might make a most capable piano
mover. "Why don’t you go to work?"
Mr. Logan asked him in writing. "Me

“These skates here only want to give

HIs friend complained that he faced
starvation. "This is the cheapest town
I've ever been In. I've been on the
streets for two hours and have only
got 80 cents." Forty Cents an hour was
not enough for him.
Begging, says Mr. Logan, who has
made a study of beggars and their
ways, is worse than morphine. One trial
at It will mako a novice a beggar for
life. Many of them say that they want
to reform, but a week's trial at real
work wifi send them back to begging
again.
Illustrating this, Mr. Logan tells the
following:
Murphy Made $28 a Day.
“Around, the Christmas holidays last
year, a beggar by the name of Murphy
might have been seen standing each
day in froht of a department store oi
Whitehall-st., singing the most plain
tlve songs thru a megaphone. Hi
woUld gesture wildly with his stock In
trade, a paralyzed left hand, and in
his right, would scoop In the pennlos,
nickels and Mimes of soft-hearted At
lantans. Investigation showed that he
made on an average of $2$ a day dur
Ing the holiday season.
"Despite the fact that there
city ordinance against begging, he had
secured a license, which ran out De
cember 21. He then presented himself
before Judge Candler to have thi
cense renewed, and wae referral
the Associated Charities. We refused
absolutely tb sanction the renewal of
his licence, and on his knees he plead
ed to be allowed to go upon the streets
and beg again, If only for two days,
during which time he would secure
enough money, he said, to go to Mont
gomery. This wo refused, and after
some talk with him, persuaded him to
go to work.
"A position was secured for him as
a solicitor with a piano company at
$10 a week, and, with a new suit of
clothes, purchased for him by the As
sociated Charities, ho went to work.
At the end of the week he stopped
working, saying that his feet hurt him,
yet he would walk about town while
begging, from early' morning until late
at night without a complaint." ■
Begging Licenses Illegal.
The licenses which the beggars now
working on the Atlanta- streets are
supposed to hold, have been given, ae
the following section of the city ordi
nance will show, In violation of the
ordinance:
Sec. 1519. It Is unlawful for any
person habitually to ask, beg, or solicit
alms in the city of Atlanta from any

to be the plan of the prosecution In tie
case of James B. McNamara, now held
on trial for murder here. Altho thi
attorneys for the defense refuse to bi
quoted on the question, they admit that
they believe this Is the plan. Attor.
neys for the state are equally reticent.
According to the report, a Federal
statute providing that men may bo
taken before any Federal grand Jury
In the district In which an offense is
alleged to have been committed win be
used. It Is understood that tho Federal
authorities are Investigating the nU
leged conspiracy on tho part of several
persons, among whom are the two Me.
Namaras and McManlgol, to Illegally
transport dynamite front one state to
another. Part of the Illegal interstate
shipment. It Is alleged, was made from
other states into California. Taking
shrewd advantage of this fact, it Is as
serted, the Federal government has
been urged to Investigate the case. Me.
Manlgal Is one of tho principal wit-
nesses who would be called In the af-
fair. He is now In Jail In Los Angeles

the Llewellyn Iron Works, and the
principal witness In the case against
McNamara. Under this Federal stat

done, In order to make a case It would
be necessary to bring here the evi

jury In Indianapolis. Since It would he
the duty of the government in this case
to bring the evidence here. It Is assert
ed by those professing to know the
plans of the state In the McNamara
trial that this Is the move that the
Federal authorities will make. When It
Is once In the hands of the Federal
authorities, as a matter of courtesv to
the California courts the prosecution
would be permitted to take It Into court
to Introduce as the evidence, instead of
producing the photographs which the
Marlon county court of Indiana yes
terday granted.
That It Is of really greet Importance
to have this evidence before the court
Instead of merely showing photographs
of records, explosives and , clocks, is
generally admitted by those who have
watched the case here. There Is no de
nying the fact that when District At.
tomey Fredericks first heard that the
evidence could not be sent he was very
much disappointed, In spite of state
ments that it would make no difference
to the state. Later statements admit
ted the-Importance, and tho Fredericks
has summed up his whole attltud, la
regard to the prosecution moves made
by the Federal authorities In Indian
apolis as “their business, very Inler-
estlng but not affecting the trial here,"
he has watched proceedings very close
ly and kept his usual cautious comment
to a minimum.
At today's session a new grist of
veniremen was fed into the jury mill.
When court adjourned last night, a tri
fle before the usual hour, there were
two vacancies In the Jury box and
every talesman seated there had been
on the stand. Forty men were sum
moned Into court yesterday. Ten of
these were retained for Jury service
after Judge Bordwell completed hla
preliminary examination.
These men will be used up before the
end of the week, It Is freely predicted,
and still another venire will have to be
summoned. The 40 who appeared to
day made a total of 205 men sum
moned for Jury duty. As yet only nine
places In the jury box have been tem
porarily filled, and It Is gonerally be
lieved that not more than two of the
men chosen will remain when the per
emptory challenges are Issued.
F. D. Green, the man whom It was
at first believed would be challenged
by the state, may (retain his seat, It Is
reported.
Green was passed by both sides, the
neither was entirely satisfied with him.
Both have been busily looking up his
record, and It Is now asserted that he
will be pasted when the peremptory
challenges are passed out. It Is gener
ally conceded that Seaborn H. Man
ning will be allowed to retain his seat.
If It requires as many veniremen In
proportion to fill the final Jury box, it
Is. estimated that 1,200 men will he
summoned. This Is practically the
number of men now In tho Jury
"wheel."
It Is believed that It will be necessary
to summon special venires.
Witnesses to resist the state's chal
lenge against Lorenzo Romans on the
section of the criminal code excusing
a person "unsound of mind or deficient
In the faculties of mind as renders him
Incapable of performing the duties of a
Juror", were expected to be Introduced
by the defense today. Attorneys for
the defense said that the fact that Ro
mans held a prejudice against William
Mulhollond, city engineer, did not show
he was In the class specified by the
code. On the other hand, they expect
to bring wltneeses who will ihow that
Romans Is a shrewd buslnees man.
They assert the state Is particularly
anxious to make Mulholland a star
witness and do not want a juror who
would doubt his statements.
