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.

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.” DR.

GIRLS GOOK FOR MT] SOLONS Salad a la Socrates, sweetbread au Euclid and biscuit carefully compound ed by algebraic formulas will be given an official inspection by His Honor the Mayor and his retinue of aidermen and councilmen this afternoon, and if all the officials are back on the job to morrow it may be taken as proof posi tive that something is taught in the Girls High school besides whai Aider man Nutting once pronounced "frills.” The city fathers have been invited to luncheon by Miss Nettie Scrgean*. principal of the school, and the. cooks will be girls of th® domestic science department. 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.

CDUNGILANDCITY 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.
