ed with them to stop, but they emptied ■
the house.
Spent the Night on
Guard With Rifle.
The two sisters spent the night
amidst the debris.
Sunday night, in pursuance of an
order from the Ansley Realty Compa
re, which bought the property, a gang
or workmen. began tearing away the
place. An effort was made to force
Mrs. Yancey and her sister to leave.
She obtained a rifle and declared that
she was going to stay. And she did—
ail night, watching the workmen tear
her home apart and shedding a tear for
each beam.
Today she was still there—rifle in
hand, wearing a plain black dress and
eyes swollen with loss of sleep. Her
sister. Miss Sullivan, is by her side.
‘‘lf any one had told me that In civ
ilized America, in religious Atlanta,
a poor woman's only shelter could be
torn from her, I would have told him
he lied,” .Mrs. Yancey said to a Geor
gian reporter.
"It's worse than Siberia. I had much
rather be treated in this manner by a
tyrant than by a law which is said to
be humane and protective. Think of it
—I have no place to live. These people
—these representatives of the law
have kicked me out, have robbed me
of my own property—my home, the
place of my father that’s sacred to
me. I tell you it's much worse than
Siberia.”
Sorrow For Her
Old Homestead.
A tear trickled down her face, mak
ing a furrow in the. soot and dust
which she had caught from the falling
timbers. She fingered her small rifle
nervously and looked with sorrowed
eves at the workmen who were yet
pulling among the fallen beams and
pillars.
“I suppose 1 will have to go finally.
I have get to protect what furniture 1
have.' she said. "1 don't mind the loss,
but it's my home, you know.”
It is probable that Mrs. Yancey and |
her sister will have her furniture stored ,
and then begin suit for the recovery of
the property. Just how large are the
other holdings of the Sullivan estate,
are not yet known. It is thought, how
ever, that both the sisters have proper
tise which c*n be converted into a
large, sum of money.
Mrs. Yancey is the divorced wife of
Ben Yancey, at. one time employee of
the Seaboard Air Line. She has two
eons, one a salesman in Birmingham
and the other a cadet at West Point
Military academy.
Dennie Sullivan, her father, was a
well known pioneer and capitalist. At
his death he was considered a very rich
man. The place at 287 De.catur street
was known as the “Sullivan Place.”
Swears on Gray Hairs
Os Aged Parents That
He Told Truth to Jury
i
MACON. GA., May 21.—“8y the gray
hairs of my old mother and father sit
ting there.. I swear to you’that I have
told the truth.” dramatically exclaimed
Lep Meyer, a vaudeville singer, to the
Jury that is trying him for killing Mary
Moore, a woman of the restricted dis
trict. Relatives and spectators wept
at Meyer’s recital of how he had gone
to the Moore woman’s house to avenge
an insult to his sister. Miss Ray Meyer.
The woman, he said, pointed a pistol at
him and he fired first into the ceiling
to frighten her into telling him the
name of the man who had telephoned
an insulting message to hfs sister from
the Moore woman’s house.
The death-bed statement of the
woman has bean admitted as evidence.
She declared that Meyer “killed her
like a dog" before she secured her pis
tol in self-defense.

BEAUTIFUL ATLANTA GIRL WON
BY SPECTACULAR FOOTBALL RUN
How Popular Tech Man Was
Spurred to Victory by a Pair
of Sparkling Eyes.
j In the olden days when Slr'Galahad
rode around in a brand new suit of
armor knocking off knights here and |
there, trouble was sure to start with i
one or several of the lady fairs who
happened to be standing around watch- ;
ing. On one particular occasion a eer-f
tain queen even smiled lavishly at Si:
Knight, even though her kingly Hus
band was directly at her side, but that's
neither here nor there.
From that day to this, and maybb
before, the knight in the arena has had
the call on the rest of male humanity
whose sole title for fame lies in the
ability to consume breakfast food and
Atlanta furnishes a striking example
today.
The younger set In Atlanta received a
pleasant tingle of surprise not a long
time ago when the engagement of Miss
Katherine Boothe, one of the city’s
striking beauties, was announced. She
was to marry W illiam Jenkins, the pa
pers said. The marriage followed short
ly after.
Football Laurels Win For Him.
The friends of both immediately re
called the courtship, the most impor
tant part of which took place during
the time that William or "Bill" Jenkins
was a student at Georgia Tech, was .in
extremely popular man v ith college
and fraternity mates, and last, but cer
taiTily not least, was a football player.
Miss Boothe was wont to attend th
dances given by the Tech students ami
the boys of the Kappa Sigma .fratemb
and here she often met "Bill” Jenkin
Both being good dancers, lively con- !
versationalists and attractive person? [
generally, they naturally found ea> '
other's society pleasing. The record.-
however, did not show anything but i |
r wT' \
Zr rfkzlAt : - i I
fast friendship up to the time that Biii
donned his football armor and w* nt
forth to conquer or to die.
Then, just like Sir Galahad, he im
mediately had the edge on the r-;t of
his rivals.
Spurred to Victory by a Smile.
Now, Bill Jenkin- never was a slouch
on the football field. Hr always played
a good, shifty, fast game. But th®
spectacular football event of his life
took place during the season of 1909.
Tech was playing an old rival and
things were not going so well with the
yellow and white. Tech was being
crowded against her goal posts At
this moment the ball went over Tech
for the moment had possession of it.
Bill Jenkins, who had been grinding
away for dear life, happened to look up
into the stands just then. He saw for
a moment a handkerenief wave; th»n
he saw a pair of sparkling eyes.-
The quarterback began calling sig
nals. Bill Jenkins was playing end.
The signa! called for an end around
end play. Bill took the ball. and. like a
greyhound, made behind the line of
scrimmage and out into the open. Two
men he stiff-armed out of the way. An
other two he dodged; still another he
ran around —with the black, sparkling
eyes looking at him all the tim®.
Finally, after having carried the ball
65 yards, he was downed. Thia one
piay turned the tide in favor of the
Jackets.
Os course records are sometimes very
inaccurate, but so far as they go no
body but Bill had a look-in from that
time forth, though many tried. M
and Mrs. Jenkins ar® now among At
lanta's most popular "young married
people.”

May Win Over Council.
It isn’t merely hospitality or a de
sire to "show off" which prompted the
Invitation. Miss Sergeant has been
trying these many moons to persuade
the council to grant an appropriation
to support the domestic science branch
in the schools, perhaps she remem
bers the ancient adage that the short
est route to' a man's heart traverses
his tasting apparatus. It is a safe bet
that when the council members have
surrounded the last of the hot biscuits
and bitten the ends off their cigars
Miss Sergeant will spring that appro
priation topic again, and she Is apt to
get results. It all depends upon wheth
er the girl cooks mistake the salt for
the soda, or let the scrubwoman's snuff
box get mived up with cayenne pep
per
The luncheon will be. served in the
main auditorium of the -Girls High
school building, and every bit of th®
menu, from the painting of the place
cards to serving the demitasse will be
the work of the.girls.

BOARDS ST WAR
A serious fight between the city ad
ministrative boards and the general
council was threatened today
While the boards are supposed to be
Intrusted with the administration of
their departments, council has three
times within the past two weeks arbi
trarily overridden the recommendations
of boards in purely’ administrative
work. And the board members are dis
pleased and threatening.
Sunday Swimming Began Row.
First, council interfered on the issue
of Sunday swimming and asked that it
be prohibited. But the park board de
fied council by providing for Sunday
bathing, and its, members are still
peeved.
Dr. W 1,. Gilbert, president of the
board of health, has threatened to re
sign if council does not accept the rec
ommendation of his board for a gar
bage disposal plant. The finance com
mittee of council has set aside the rec
ommendation of the board for the pres
ent without acting on it. and al! the
members of the board of health are be
coming more and more annoyed
Slap at School Board,
Yesterday afternoon council ignored
the advice of the board of education in
providing for the purchase of a lot for a
new,school in the Fifth ward.
Council voted according to the wishes
of Aiderman J. W. Maddox and the
other ward representatives, instead of
accepting the recommendation of the
board of education. Aiderman James
E. Warren, chairman of the schools
committee, said today that he did not
believe th- board of education would
build a school on the lot. as’it was ab
solutely unsuitable.
