BOY CLIENT COMES TO AID
OF LAWYER WHO SAVED HIM
Foot, “Young Wallingford” of Cherokee Claims Notoriety,
May Gain Freedom by Efforts of Poor Boy Whom He Had
Befriended and Forgotten Years Ago in Oklahoma.
A deed of kindness done years ago In
a court room In a town of the then
wild and sparsely settled territory ot
Oklahoma, when a lawyer took pity on
a friendless, freckle-faced bby and,
without thought of pecuniary gain,
brought him safely out of some diffi
culty Into which he had fallen, received
Its reward this week In the United
States court In Rome, Go., when, thru
the efforts of the boy he had defended,
a case against the friendly lawyer, 40W
a convict in the Federal prison, was nol
prosHcd.
How strangely fate deals the cards

r Judge S. L. Moore, ordinary of Bui

Georgian a communication In tfhiCo
.lie declares that Hon. Pope Brown did
support the Bush-WHUnghnm antt-
barirDom bill In the state legislature In
1195 and that, in view of the record,
he does pot understand the charges
Hon. Bartow Willingham recently made
igtlnst Mr. Brown's prohibition record,
The letter follows;
Editor Tho Georgian:
I have been considerably surprised at
the recent controversy that, has been
rolngon In'the press of the stato about
1 ; .-itinn taken and the vote cast by
Kon. J. Pops Brown In the Georgia
egislature when the Rush-Willingham
mtl-barroom bill was pending there in
895—-especially at the alleged state-
OWt of Mr, Willingham that Mr.
Irown opposed Die bill. I am mir-
rlsed because the record of the vote
bill is HO easy of access that I
sn't see how any controversy could
rise over It.
Without any desire whatever to take
*rt In this dispute or to figure in tho
•resent campaign for governor, I desire
» a simple act of justice to Mr. Brown,
or whom I sitter tain the highest p* r-
onal and political regard, to say that
• a member of that legislature 1 re
member very distinctly the very post*
lve •tend taken by Mr. Brown In favor
r this bill, which was then the most
dvanced step taken by the prohlbl-
lonlsts of the state. I remember also
P 1 *™® conversation that I had with
Brown, In which lie expressed to
very positively his intention to sup-
ort the bill, and, of course, the house
>urna! of 1995, page 605, shows that
« voted with Messrs. Bush. Willing-
ot ^ eni for the bill. Very re-
pectfmiy, g. l. MOORE.

HELP
Kind
now, with success crowning his efforts
In that direction,*he will throw himself
body and soul Into the task of freeing
his old friend from prison.
That truth is stranger than Action Is
shown by this example of undying ap
preciation. R. R. Foot was the lawyer
who had successfully defended the
friendless boy that day In Oklahoma;
W. C. Cole was the boy. As they shook
hands after their first meeting, the boy
vowed that he would repay the debt if
it took a hundred years.
“Hope I’ll need you some day,”
laughed the lawyer, and then they
parted, passing, aa It seemed at the
time, but of each other’s lives forever.
Lawyer Becomes Defendant. j
On June 18, 1908, Foot stdod In the
Atlanta court room of the United States
district court. The jury had returned
“guilty" to ten counts, accusing him of
defrauding descendants of Cherokee In
dians out of money, while posing as a
government agent. He was sentenced
by Judge Newman to ten yqars and ten
days Jn the Federal prison at Atlanta.
h** listened t.» tbs sentence In silence
and turned In helpless submission to
the deputy marshal who was waiting to
take him to prison. He was a felon and
friendless.
He could think of no friend to whom
he could appeal for a continuance of the
fight he had made for freedom. Far
thest frAm his mind was the freckle
faced boy he had befriended In Okla
homa years before.
• But the freckle-faced boy had not
forgotten. Moving from place to place,
he had finally settled In Russellville,
Ark., where, entering Into business, he
had prospered until he Is now one of
the richest and most Influential men In
the state. There, during the years that
brought with them wealth and position.
Cole thought often of the days gone by,
and standing out In the veil of the past
he'could always see the lawyer who had
come to his assistance when he had so
sorely needed aid and who had really
started him on tho road to his present
prosperity. It was his fondest hope to
find this man and repay the great debt
ho owed him.
About a year ago word came In an
unaccountable way that the man he
hoped to find was In trouble. Cole at
ence made Investigations and found that
Foot was serving a sentence In the Fed
eral prison at Atlanta.
Client Goes to Rescue.
A week later Cole had placed his
business in the hands of a partner and
was on the way to Atlanta, hero to re
main until he had secured Foot’s free
dom and repaid the debt. He was de
termined to spend, if need be, his entire
fortune to that end.

Peaco has been restored nnd tho 200,-
000 corpenters suspended by tho build
ing trades department at SL Louis
have been reinstated.
With all tho masterful discretion of
a diplomat, James A. Short and his
building trades committee brought In
a report Saturday carrying out tho rec
ommendation of tho executive council
that tho carpenters bo reinstated.
Thero are no provisos or Btrlnga at
tached to It. The warring chieftains
shook hands and the powerful carpen
ters organization with 200,000 members
and its 55,000,000 In the treasuries of
Its local unions can go back to the
building trades department.
The building trades committee report
come In after the conclusion of tho ad
justment committee’s settlement of
many grievances.
The report of Chairman James
O’Connell’s adjustment committee was
continued Saturday morning. A Bght
among tho longshoremen on a jurisdic
tional dispute occupied over an hour's
time.
Despite tho fact that the building
trades committee follows tho recom
mendation of the executive council, to
reinstate the carpenters and Joiners Into
the building trades department, there is
a probability that the carpenters will
not participate in the meeting of the
building trades department hero next
week.
W. D. Huber, president of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners,
said at noon that ho and Frank Duffy,
tho International secretary, would re
turn to Indianapolis Monday and would
not attend-the session of the building
trades department.
"Tho delegates of the carpenters to
the American Federation of Labor are a
different set of delegates to those elects
ed to the building trades department,"
said Mr. Huber. “The delegates to the
hulldlng trade, department arc not hero
for next week’s convention and I do not
think will be here.
’’As to tbe action Saturday -of the
building trades committee reinstating
the carpenters, we wiii n-po. - : I. to our
executive hoard and put-It up to them.
I cun not-state at this time whether the
carpenters will accept reinstatement
and come back Into the present build
ing trades’ department, since the techni
cal dispute on our supervision of metal
trimming work on buildings Is not set
tled by the building trades committee’s
report. , •
"We will probably have to wait until
next year to participate in the building
trades department. The committee re
port of .Saturday will, of course, have
to bo adopted by the building trades
department next week."
There Is a rumor out that the carpen
ters may never return, but It will take
months to prove this.
Teamiters In Trouble.
The committee on adjustment recom
mended thnt the executive council In
vestlgate the disagreement between the
teamsters and the brewery workers.
Daniel Tobin, president of the Interna
tional Brotherhood of. Teamsters, said
the executive council Is not carrying
out the, principles Of the American
**- teratlon of Labor.
If I am a member Of this committee
next year, and It Is reported either
teamsters or brewery workers have
vlolntcd the decision of the executive
council, I will urge that the charter
of one or both be revoked." said John
Golden of the adjustment committee.
"Whatever excuse or argument there
may have been In the past for two oiv
ganlzatlons In one craft,' such argu
ment nnd excuse Is now obsolete. The
time has now arrived for the A, F. of
L. to declare Itielf. Big ak this coun
try Is, It Is not big enough to hold two

tion of the American Federation of

resolution—one craft and one organiza
tion," was the concluding recommenda
tion of the adjustment committee.
At noon the tip was very strong that
Rochester, N. Y.. would win'out over
Richmond, Seattle and Butte for tho
1012 convention. As Rochester lost tho
convention to Atlanta last year, that
city now has many champions for the
1012 honor.
candidates for fraternal delegates to
Great Britain and Canada have been
discussed. It Is conceded that George
L. Berry, president of the International
union of pressmen, will be one oflhetn.
Other candidates who have a chance
are John ft Walker, president of tho
Illinois Mine Workers: W. D. Mahon, of
Detroit, president of the street car em

If You Didn’t Pay Taxes Before
July 10 You Can Not Vote
for Governor.
Registration for tho gubernatorial
primary will cease Saturday after
noon at 5 o’clock. At this hour tho
books in the office of the Fulton county
tax assessors will bo closed by order
of the board of registrars, nnd those
who fall to get under the wire will not
be rible to partlclpnto In the special
election for governor.
Despite the confusion that has arisen
on nil sides over tho registration law
for tho special election, Tax Collector
Andy Stewart says that tho registra
tlon will be heavy. Indications are that
fully lG.nuo vut.’is m Fulton county
will have qualified when tho books are

Will Throw Out 1,000 Votes.
Some 14,100 voters were registered
in the recent charter election, and the
majority of these will be eligible with
out further registration. But under
the recent opinion given by Attorney
General T. S. Felder, about 1,000 of
these votes will be thrown out.
This will be dono as the result of a
recent order of the board of registrars.
The board, composed of W. M. Scott,
A. L. Holbrook and J. W. Gaines, will
meet In the tax assessors' office and
go over the lists of the voters regis
tered, throwing out all whose taxes for
1910 and back taxes had not been paid
prior to July 10, 1910.
The constitution of Georgia requires
that taxes for the year previous bo paid
at least six months prior to a special
election. Under this rule at least 1,000
votes are expected to go. In the tax
assessors' office there Is no confusion.
It Is merely a question aa to whether
1910 taxes were paid prior to July 10,
1911. 4
. The registration In the country dis
tricts has been heavy for an off year.
And, with ten wards and fourteen mili
tia districts to be consolidated, with the
necessity of throwing out at least 1,000
votes, the exact registration will not be
announced until next week.
Fulton Is Patriotic.
Patriotic Fulton, county is displaying

Thru the activity of the Tallulah
Falls Preservation association, another
public hearing may be had before the
state railroad commission on the appli
cation of tho Georgia Railway and
Power Company for authority to Issue
$57,000,000 of stocks and bonds. Dr,
W. C. Bryant, of Camp Yonah, Ga.,
secretary of that association, on Sat
urday filed a petition with Chairman
C. .Murphy Candler of the commission
asking that the case bo ^reopened.
Chairman Candler told Dr. Bryant that
he would present this petition to the
commission at its next meeting, on De
cember 4, and at that session it would
be determined whether another hear
ing cojild bo granted.
The opposition to the granting of this
approval of tho stock and bond Issue
Is on the ground that the proposed
combination will creato a water power
monopoly, spreading even beyond
Georgia Into South Carolina and other
neighboring states. Furthermore, the
contention Is mado that the project
does not warrant such an enormous
capitalization on which the people of
Georgia—the ultimate consumers—
would bo required to pay heavy Inter
est and dividend charges.
Petition for Rehoaring.
Hero Is the petition:
“Hon. Murphy Candler, Chairman,
Railroad Commission of Georgia, At

“Dear Sir—As secretary of the Tal
lulah Falls Preservation association, a
body composed of several hundred cit
izens of Georgia, I respectfully ask that
the commission afford us opportunity
to appear and present reasons for re
opening the hearing of the application
of the Georgia Power Company for
your approval of a stock and bond Issue
of $57,000,000.
“This request is mad#* In full view
of the fact that your honorable body
set a date and gave notice of a hear
ing on this case. It was Impossible for
us to make intelligent presentation of
Our side on that occasion.
“I think the commission will readily
recognize that a delay of a few weeks
In passing on the application In ques
tion wllj be Infinteslmal compared with
the tremendous Importance of the ques
tion before them. It will also agree
with us, I feel sure, that no pains
should be spared to exhaust every
means of Inquiry In obtaining Informa
tion bearing on a subject of such po
tential magnitude.
