Chauffeur and Friends Disre
gard Signals and Police Cries
at Open Drawbridge.
•'’Hlf'AGO, May 2n.~ Th- automobile
that plunged Into the Calumet river to
day through an open draw, carrying six
I persons to death, has been identified as
the property of the Alco Automobile
Company John Buchanan, a chauffeur
employed by the Alco company, took
tlie car from the concern’s "arage here
without permission, and is known to
have driven through the city last night.
He had five companions, two of whom
were the Slaughters of a policeman. It
is believed that Buelianat) and I’.is
friends are the nersons who were car
ried into the river.
The car had been purchased by Mrs.
c. I’. Spaulding, flf 1300 Astor street.
Buchanan demonstrated the machine
yesterday, driving Mrs. Spaulding and
some of her friends about the city.
He said that ho wanted to lake the ear
! back to tiie garage to "do a .few more
I tilings to it" before lie finally turned it
(over to M-s. Spaulding.
[ The car xxas running al a speed of at
I least 30 miles an hour, the police say,
when they first sighted il. The party
in the car xvere laughing and singing.
The draw was open when the car camel
rn sight, and a big rad danger signal i
I blazed directly in its path. The driver |
paid no heed and did not check the .
I speed with which he approached the
I bridge. Seeing this, the police tried to
| save tho auto part} .
Jeer Efforts to Stop Them.
They rushed toward the car. snout
ling at the top of their voices. The
drive, paid no heed, although the occu
pants laughed and snouted, and the po
lice believe the autoists thought they
• i re in danger of arrest and were .ieer-
I ing ai the police who were trying to
■ -top them. The police believe the chauf- |
I four put on more speed in order to i
'• scape and drove straight nt tht*bridge
• without looking 'o whether the;
. draw xx ns open.
A policeman a' be bridge entrance i
nastily stretched a heavy chain across
i tile pathway of the car in a la = t • ffor: '
Ho stofi the machine. The xar struck it. j
; snapped !' as though it had been a;
It a read and 1 on plunged ver ’he brink
nto the river.
\\ ;wn the machii < leaped out over
ihe i ; v< r its ox upt’.nts* for the first time
i seemed to realize their danger. Their
I laughter cnanged to screams. Tin? po
-1 bee and members of .he firetug crews
think that the young woman whose
body was recovered jumped from her
place as the car plungtd downward.
The woman struggled a few mo
ments, but could make no fight against
the current and went down before the
boats hastily launched could reach her.
No mark on her clothing gave any hint
as tn her identity. She xvas richly
dressed and appeared to ie about 25
years of age.
William Ropham, fireman on board
one of the ilretngs. was an eyewitness
to the affair. He corroborated the po
lice statement that there xvere six per
sons in the car.

FULTON DELEGATION
’HOGGED’ BY ATLANTA
| MEN. SAYS WATSON
“Who Was It Kept Out My Friends?” lie
Queries, in Flaying His Foes in Convention.
Condemns Lack ot Representation From the
Country.
Thomas Eat-'em-up Watson certain
ly is (landing things around to some
Georgiy folks nowadays; and the things
be is handing around run largelj to
lemons, moreover.
Il is a mighty difficult undertaking
to talk state politics at this time and
keep the Hon. Thomas E.’s name in the
whisper column.
He is making more talk to the
square minute than anybody else in
Georgia; and whatever lie says inva
riably makes astonishing reading to a
lot of people, too. even if it doesn't get
into every patriot's scrap book.
Mr. Watson is an entertaining sort
of person, anyway. However grudg
ingly you will have to hand him that!
in this week's Progressive Ilunocrat
Mr. Watson takes a fall out of the
Fulton county delegation to Ihe forth
coming state convention.
• He contrasts it very much to its dis
credit with the Richmond county dele
gation.
Fulton Delegation "Different."
I Mr. Watson says:
In Richmond county, the exeeu
| tive committee gave us a splendid
| del-gation.
It includes such well known ex-
Populists as James L. Cartledge. I
-M. Seago. W. K. Nelson, L. L. Win
ter and J. B. Chapman.
The country, as well as the eiiy,
is we’l represented.
The Fulton county delegation is
altogether different.
It is made up, largely, of the
most implacable anti-Watson men.
William G. Brantley Jr..—son of
pompous Bill—is one of the dele
gates.
Why was he chosen ' Ever? boo.'
knows that I have been fighting his
napa. ever since his papa deserted
; to the Republicans, in Marell, 1909.
Mr. William G. Brantley. Jr.,
comes am In the papers and says
; that, under no circumstances, will
lie support me for delegate to Bal
t imorc.
I don't care a tinker's damn for
\ ouy support Mr. William G.
Brantley, Jr.
"Who Put You There. Luther?"
Poor little fellow !
Then there's Luther Z. Rosser,
the lawyer, who comes out in the
papers and says that I shan’t go to
Baltimore.
PENDLETON DEF ’
BIG FOUR SLATE
Antipathy for Watson Likely to
Prevent His Going to Balti
more With Democrats.
Apparently confirming absolutely a re
cent well-defined and seemingly author
ized rumor that Colonel Charles R. Pen
dleton. editor of The Macon Telegraph
ami stalwart Democrat of state-wide re
pute, would assume an attitude of re
pressed disapproval of Thomas E. Wat
son's connection with the forthcoming
state T'emocratic convention In Atlanta
came the information from Macon today
that the Bibb county delegation to the
convention lias been framed up without
Colonel Pendleton as a member.
Fifty delegates have been named to de
liver Bibb's vote, in the Democratic gath
ering of May 29. These delegates xvere
designated by P. li. Gambrell, chairman
of the Bibb county executive committee,
warm friend and political and business
associate of Colonel Pendleton.
Conspicuous by its absence from this
delegation list is the name of Bibb's old
Democratic war horse. Charles R. Pen
dleton.
The day after the election, before the
"Watson incident" arose to fret or tex
any political partisan in Georgia, it was
announced that Colonel Pendleton would
head the Bibb county delegation to At
lanta. Tliis was generally accepted
throughout the state very much as a mat
ter of course.
Figured Him For Big Four. *
Not only was it confidently expected by
the l.iemocracy of Georgia that Colonel
Pendleton would come to Xtlatita as a
delegate to the stare convention, but it
was freely predicted, and nowhere dis
puted. that lie certainly would be one of
tlie "Big Four" delegates to Baltimore.
When the Watson controversx was pre
cipitated upon the state, however, it was
immediately rumored that Colonel Pen
dleton was unwilling to partififate in a
state Democratic convention in which
Mr Watson was a recognized factor, ami
that Mr, Watson's election to Baltimore
inexitably would remove I'olonel Pendle
ton. b-- bls ow n private motion, from the
con-idovatiou of the conveu’ion when it
as.wm blexl.
The absence of Colonel Pendleton's
nam- from the list of Bibb delegates
.-■cents to confirm the statements hereto
fore made with reference to that gentle
man. in connection with the state and
national conventions.
Hasn’t Had Chance to Decline.
t'olimel I’ mlletXin has persist?-ntly re
fused to disx-uss for publication the Wat
son matter or any phase of it: although
he has gone so far as to say that he
would not like to be put in the attitude
of declining, for an J stated reason, an
election as delcgate-at-large to Balti
more, before any such election had been
ae'eoniplislied. The Macon man says he
would not be so presumptuous as to de
cline something in advance of its .tender.
It seems pretty well understood, not
withstanding Hie foregoing, ami oceans'
of much of it. that i'olonel Pendlcimi has
•co tlx let some of tit’ t: iemls km?w that

I
Who put Luther Z. on that Ful
ton county delegation?
How' did you get on, Luther Z. :
Mad with me yet because I
downed you in the Lush Adkins
case
I can down you in the court
house any old day. Luther Z.
And 1 can down you in the con
vention, Luther Z.
Will you break a lance with me
in the Atlanta convention. Luther
Z. ?
Please do.
I just want to hear your heels hit
the overhead ceiling one more time.
Luther Z. ■
Rut —badinage aside —who was it
that gave tlie Fulton delegation
such a tinge of anti-Watsonism .
"Who Kept My Friends Out?”
Who was it that kept out such
Watson friends as Major A. J. Mc-
Bride. General A. J. West. Sam W.
Wilkes. G. W. Seals. T. Y. Brent.
W. G. Travis. Rev. John E. White,
Rev. W. J. Cofer —and scores of
others that could be mentioned .’
Who was it that packed the dele
gation with irreconcilable foes of
mine .’
If the Vx’oodiow Wilson men will
■ have the executive committee give
credentials to a Wood row Wilson
delegation, tlie country counties will
scat tlie Wilson delegates.
We believe that every county
carried by Wilson should be repre
sented by Wilson men.
We believe in the county unit
plan.
McDuffie lias no light to impose
representation on Fulton, nor has
Fulton the right to impose it on
.McDuffie.
If there is a single COUNTRY
man on the Fulton county delega
tion. I have yet to hear it.
The city of Atlanta seems to
have hogged it all.
Whether any of the gentlemen Mr.
Watson invites to argue with him on
the floor of the state convention will
accept is doubtful.
But that’s an awful wallop he hands
this fair city of Atlanta, nevertheless!
8188 AGAINST WATSON.
MACON, GA.. May 20.—A poll of the
Bibb delegation to the Atlanta con
vention shows that a majority of them
are unalterably opposed to sending
Watson to Baltimore.
! "Only Two Per Cent
Os Atlanta's Pupils
Enter High Schools"
GAINESVILLE, GA., May 20.—Only 2
per cent of the pupils from the common
schools of Atlanta enter the high schols,”
was the startling statement made by Dr.
ft. E. L. Harris, of Augusta, in the course
of his sermon to the graduating class of
the Gainesville public schools at the First
Baptist church in Gainesville Sunday
morning. "This fact has not been pub
lished.” he continued, ‘and it may be
that it is not the desire to publish it, but
it is talked openly in Atlanta and there
was nothing said about keeping it quiet."
Dr. Harris said that he did not know
the per cent in his home city of Au
gusta. as the survey had not been made,
lie said. howeveM that the per cent
might not be higher elsewhere in the
state than in Atlanta. He deplored the
fact that so many pupils of the common
schools of the state, especially -.he boys
of the schools.,did not go through high
school and college. He said the reason
seemed to be that the boys must make a
living and that the thought of prepara
tion for life was last in the desire to
earn money.

LORIMER UPHELD
BY SENATE PROBE
Majority Reports Election Le
gal-Fraud and Corruption
Charged by Minority.
WASHINGTON. Miv 20.—Senate.
William P. Dillingham, as chairman ol
the' senate committee which conducted
the second investigation into the.
charges of corruption in connection
with the election of Senator William
Lorimer, of Illinois, today filed in the
senate the report of that committee.
The verdict of the committee is in fa
vor of Senator Lorimer and holds that
his election was not procured by illegal
and improper means.
This report is concurred in by fixe
of the eight members of the investi
gating committee. Senator Dillingham,
Senator Gamble and Senator Jones, Re
publicans, and Senator Fletcher and
Senator Johnston, of Alabama. Demo
crats. The minority members of the
committee. Senator Kenyon. Republi
cans, and Senator Kern and Senator
Tjea, Democrats, will submit the minor
ity views and a resolution declaring
that Senator Lorimer was not legally
elected; that his election was procured
by fraud and corruption, and that he is
not entitled to his seat.
The committee upholds the plea of
res adjudicata. which is in effect that
the case, having once been decided by
the senate, can not again be brought
into issue upon the same evidence. It
is strongly pointed out that the claim
of the newly discovered evidence was
not substantiated. In brief, the basis
of this nexvly discovered evidence was
the allegation of Clarence W. Funk,
general manager of the Internationa;
Harvester • Company, that Edward
Hines, friend and backer of Senator
Lorimer, had told him that SIOO,OOO
had been expended in “putting Lorimer
over," and had told him that he (Hines>
had personally contributed SIO,OOO *to
xvara such fund.
The report sustains the nlea of res
adjudicata. but in the event that the
senate should decline to accept it. the
committee submits its conclusion upon
the evidence and finds in favor of Lori
mer.

YOU SHOULD ANSWER.
THEIR QUESTIONS
When Children Ask Questions They Are
Deserving of Intelligent and
Ready Replies.
Who ever heard tell of a child that
did not ask questions'? It is a part of
their education. Even before children
reach the school age inquisitiveness is
one of their chief characteristics.
But, more is the pity, children do not
always get intelligent answers to their
questions. Usually this is due to a lack
of proper reference books in the home.
The Georgian took this into considera
tion xvhen it selected the Standard At
las and Chronological History of the
World for distribution to its readers.
This is a book for ready reference,
filled from cover to cover with interest
ing and instructive materia! relating to
our own country as well as the entire
world. Just the things that one cants
to know in a minute and can not be ex
pected to remember. Take, for instance,
the chapters treating the history of the
world, which begins with the first im
portant event and follows all history
down to the present year. And it is ail
set forth in such convenient form that
one can find at a glance by referring
to the year, just the information sought
Besides, there are ninety full pages of
colored maps which cover the entire
globe by countries, departments, dis
tricts, provinces and states. Then there
are many other subjects which never
before appeared in a book of this char
acter, all of which goes to make The
Georgian’s Atlas a xvork of reference
that should be in every home.
For a short time you can get this val
uable Atlas by presenting six headings
clipped from the first page of The Geot.
