basis were_discussed.witViiiubh enthu

or's Horse Guard and wltltf local compa
nies of the Fifth regiment, and all en
tered enthusiastically Into the plans
for ’an enlarged and'reorganized mill
tary company for Atlanta that should
be.somewhat In the nature of the fa
mous military company of New York
city which fb known as the Old Guard
of New York. .. ,
Colonel John F. Burke, head of the
Old Guard, presided and made a short
talk, In which, he outlined the purpose
of the meeting. He was.followed by-a
number of others, who made Impromptu
speeches,' showing the good that the city
would derive from such a military com
pany. . , << *.-■ •;
VPlan, suggested by Ben Lee Cre\y
to the men at his end of the table, that
after the Old Guard is fully established
on the lines of the Old Guard of New
York, that they make a trip thru the
North and visit the cities that the fa
mous Old Guard visited In the seven
ties, met with the hearty approval of
those Who heard the suggestion, and It
is probable that the matter will be
acted on. favorably at.a later date.

FOUND.IN OLD TRUNK
Simmons Burglary a Mystery.
Deaf-Mute Confesses to Ad
ditional Thefts.
Mystery surrounds the < theft Monday
afternoon of diamonds and Jewel#, valued
at $1,200, from the home of H. L. Sim
mons. 04 Sprlng-st.
Several hours after the discovery of the
.jrglary, most of-the missing gems, were
found in ’an old trunk In the basement
of the house. Three valuable pieces of
Jewelry, however, are still missing.
How the Jewels came to be in the trunk,
or why the burglar should have deposited
them there Is Inexplicable. >
The Jewels belong to Mre. Ida Coates,
who lives In the Simmons home. The
house was robbed while all of tha occu
pants were absent. Four previous at
tempts have been made to get Into tho
house at night, but each effort had been
foiled.
Detective G. C. Bullard was detailed on
.the case and Is working to solve the mys
tery.'
B. Sullivan, the young deaf-mute from
Chicago, who confessed By finger signs to
being a thief, was Tuesday momlng
bound over to the state courts by Re

deaf-mute Bible class at the St. Mark
Methodist church. .He, also admitted
stealing's hat In another place.
IV. F. Crusselle, an official of the 8L
Mark church, and who la particularly In
terested In work among the deaf-mutes,
was present in court as an Interpreter.
A Deaf-Mute Problem.
In all of my dealings with theae peo
ple. Sullivan Is the first deaf-mute I
have found to he Incorrigible," fartd Mr.
Crusselle fo the recorder.
• "When Sullivan came to Atlanta, he
expressed a desire to meet the members
of the deaf-mute Bible clhas at the St,
Mark church, and It was from one of
these members. Miss Moseley, that he
stole the Jewelry. He seems to have a
e nchant for theft, and something will
ve to be done with him. I Intend to
have him sent hack to his home in Chi
cago as soon as he gets out of this trou
We.”
Several deaf-mutes were present In
court, and evinced much Interest in the
trial, their understanding of the proceed
ings, of course, being confined to what
they could gather from linger signs.
He Does Love Pine Chickens.
Sam Alexander, the negro chicken thief
who was bound over t>y the recorder
Monday morning for stealing and feast
ing on C. H. Ledford's two prlxe chickens
—valued at $50—has demonstrated thor

TO NEWSPAPERS IS DUE
GREA T SHARE OF SUCCESS
—F. J. PAXON, PRESIDENT.
Colonel F. J. Paxon, .who retires as
president of the Chamber of Commerce
and Ig Succeeded by Wllmer L. Moore on
January 1, pays a high tribute to the
newspapers of Atlanta for the aid they
have given this civic body In its work.
“Whatever success we have achieved,”
he says, "has in a large measure been due
to the support and co-operation of the
newspapers of the city.
"The right sort of publicity for such a
civic body is Just as essential for success
aa advertising is to a department store.
As all Atlantans are aware, the Cham
ber of Commerce has been very active
for the past few years in leading and
aiding many movement! for the better
ment of Atlanta, Georgia and the South.
Governor Judson Harmon paid the or
ganisation a most glowing tribute In his
that such a co-operation of the city am
country as displayed by the corn show
would result in more good than almost
anything the South could undertake.
