REUNION LOSS TO
MACON SMI
Thousands of Cots Never Used
by Veterans and Provisions
Are Dumped Into River.
MACON, GA.. May 1.3. —Careful es
timates place the financial loss sus
tained by .Macon people on the reunion
at not less than 5250,000. The greater
part of this was invested in thousands
of cots which were never used.
There are numerous instance? where
the loss falls upon those least able to
bear it. In one case an aged school
teacher mortgaged her home, spending
SBOO for cots, and failed to rent even
<>no A Russian barber, who had saved
SSOO to bring his parents from the old
country, likewise bought cots, ami did
not have a single roomer.
The trouble was that the people of
Macon were over enthusiastic about the
reunion. They confidently expected
and prepared for 150.000 visitors. I .ess
than 40,000 came. Os the 200 lunch
stands, only four made aux profit, and
one is said to have lost $1 1,000.
In the last two da.vs more than 50.-
000 buns, loaves of bread and sand
wiches have been dumped into the river.
Souvenir dealers were also hard hit.

Dr. K. Dean Klien wood, of Ihe First

forth a decision declaring that Mary
Lee Turpin was never legally married
to the hotel man. in spitj of the fact
that she had lived with him in New
York and Chicago.
The case was one in which one of
i the oldest families of Georgia was con-
I i erned. September 21. 1910. Mary I.ee
! Turpin filed a petition with the dis--
; trict cou-t asking for a divorce from

I the widow, had an administrator of
[ the estate appointed. This was H. J.
; Grave, of Dubuque, a clerk in the office
' of the clerk of the district court.
Mother Fought Suit.
March 3. 1911. the woman applied to
i the court for a widow's allowance. Suit
! was resisted by decedent's mother, who
| alleged that the woman claiming tho
i allowance was not the widow of her
Ison, never had been his wife, and that
■ hr never had intended to make hi t hi,
; wife.
i In the trial, attorneys from Macon
and Chicago assisted the best local
i lawyers. Witncase. were brought from
i New York, ,Macon, Atlanta and
I Jacksonville. Fla.
In her suit for divorce the plaintiff
I allegefl she and Turpin victr married
I hi New York city in September. 1908.
and that they lived at the Hotel Girard
as husband and w ife. She alleged that,
the suit m vei came to trial before th®
death of t| lc defendant.
In the trial undo the petition for a
widow's allowance the plaintiff said
she w as 32 years old: that she .was born
at Brunswick. Ga. At the age of abou*
It she was married to James C. Smith.
•> locomotive engineer. In 1904, aid he
wav killed in railroad accident.
After that, the plaintiff alleged she
worked for Captain James McKay, own
er ami operator of coasting vessels, as
tenographer. bookkeper and. vunfiden
tvil secretary.
Claimed a "Mock" Marriage.
She vv as called to Jacksonville by the
illness of a brother, and there met Tur
pin. From that time on the' mecfre
quently and eventually became engaged
to marry, the plaintiff said. Early IfT
September. 1908. she added. Turpin sent
her a telegram to journey to New York,
where they were to be married. She
macle-the trip, met him in Jersey City,
went so-an office huflding in New York
city, wa? married by a man she sup
posed was a civil officer. Then the
two went to the Hotel Girard.
She Showed in court pages of the ho
tel register containing their names.
in the spring of 1910 at the Majestic
hotel in Chicago the woman said Tur
pin told" her they were not married,
and that the ceremony was a mock one.
Then she tried to commit suicide by
drinking water which had been poured
over matches. The house physician
saved her life.
Oil the part of the defense it was not
denied that the plaintiff and Turpin had
lived .as husband and wife ai varied
places, but It was denied that they
were cvei married.
