DEMAND
Mayor. Board of Health and
Councilmen Join in Effort to
Bring About Action.
Mayor Winn the entire board of
health and a number of meVnbers of
council joined today in a demand that
the finance committee of council- de
lay no longer but act at once and rec
ommend some system of garbage dis
posal.
They said Atlanta faces one of the
most menacing conditions in her his
tory; that not another day should be
lost in beginning work to put an end
to the increasing filth which threatens
a. terrible disease epidemic.
Back of them are thousands of At
lantans daily threatening to enjoin the
city from further increasing the col
lections of waste about the city. Time
nd again the courts have held that
these collections of refuse are horri
ble nuisances. and the sanitary depart
ment ha been forced to change its
! laces for depositing filth. In the hope
that the, council would provide a sys
tem oil garbage disposal many citi
:en- have withheld suits.
City officials have been warned that
they are tired of waiting and will act
to exterminate the millions of germs,
libs.’ mosquitoes and rats that are
-warming out in every direction from
the dump piles.
We're Afraid to Whisper
Real Truth,’’ Says Gilbert.
I don't see how the people have
stood it as dong is they have,” said
""171. 11 L. ' i. president of the
board of.health. We have been afraid
to whisper the real truth of the situa
tion. The board of health has finally
agreed, on a solution. But while we
have resorted to every means known,
w* have been unable to get the council
to act'."
. John Jcntzen, sanitary chief, said to
day if the council does not act at once
lie feared a much mote horrible situa
tion. He has been forced to move his
dump piles from place to place until
It'- is almost at the end of possible
places. He meets protests on every side
from citizens. They*are growing very
impatient. A few injunction suits
would mean that the department would
ha,- - no place left to dump garbage. It
w-Afy-ybc left in people’s yards and on
their back porches. And a pestilence
would result such as Atlanta never
dreamed.
"Atlanta's health is one of the most
r- markable things I have ever heard
of when 1 consider this sanitary situa
tion." said Aiderman A. H. Van Dyke.
"It. is a wonder that we do not have
the highest death rate of any city in
the country; and if it were not for the
city's, high elevation and fine air we

Suffragette Leaders
Guilty of Conspiracy:
Jury Asks Leniency
LONDON. May 22 —The jury trying
the suffragette leaders here brought in
a verdict of guilty of conspiracy against
Mrs. Pankhurst and Mr. and Mrs.
Pethick Lawrence, but recommended
leniency’.
Each of the defendants was sen
tenced to serve nine months imprison
ment without hard labor.
Declaring that Mrs. Pankhurst and
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence had made no
effort to controvert the facts proved
against them in connection with re
cent violence, prison sentences- were
demanded by all three by the crown
prosecutor.
In charging the jury the court said:
“Nobody can say that the defend
ants have not had a fair and open
trial. The jury has to decide whether
the word 'militant’ is a mere oratori
'cal flourish, or whether it means a de
liberate policy of breaking the law.”
Caruso Has Signed
Four-Year Contract
With Metropolitan
PARIS. May 22.—Caruso has signed
a four-year contract with the Metro
politan Opera Company. “Hitherto,”
he said, “I was content with $3,000 per
night. I was guaranteed a minimum
of 40 performances in five months. But
now I'm to receive more.”
When asked whether he intended to
appear in Wagnerian tetralogy, Caruso
replied: "Later, much later. When
my voice is aged I shall be able to
shout as loud as I like. Then I shall
be able to put in my repertory Tris
tan,' 'Meistersinger' and Siegfried.'

Pretty Blondes and
Soft-Drink Fondness
Make Atlanta Famous
Atlanta consumes more soft drinks to
the square, inch than any other town
in the universe, says Joseph Schmall.
of Laredo. Texas, who represents a
syrup house. A!§p, in the opinion of
Mr. Schmall. there are more pretty
blondes in Atlanta than can be found
anywhere else. •, . ( .. : .
■‘Perhaps the two facts have a con
nection.” said Mr. Schmall. "Maybe
the blondes are responsible for the
heavy consumption of soda water. In
any event, a slough of it is drunk here,
which accounts. I suppose, for the fact
that Atlanta is a prohibition town.
"And as for blondes—l never saw so
many in my life. Out in Dallas I be
lieve there are just as many good look
ing brunettes as hete, but your blondes
can't be matched.”
IT’S CLOUDY. BUT RAIN
IS NOT ON THE PROGRAM
Another fair day with no particular
change in temperature Is the predic
tion for Atlanta, according to Fore
caster VonHerrmann of the United
States weather bureau. The skies have
been overcast during the past 24 hours,
but no rain has fallen, and this ap
pears to be the state of affairs that will
remain for a time.

Colonel Gets Thirty Out of
Forty-two Delegates—Two
Are in Doubt.
COLUMBI'S, OHIO, May 22.—Theo
dore Roosevelt has defeated President
Taft by 25,000 to 35.000 votes and has
captured 30 of the 42 district delegates.
Governor Harmon has defeated Wood
row Wilson by a majority of at least
40.001).
These facts stood out prominently to
day as the returns from the Republican
and Democratic presidential preference
primaries tricklyd in. The returns were
complete enough to show that Ohio,
"the mother of presidents.” hijd rejected
her native son, William Howard Taft,
and had decided to support his prede
cessor for the Republican nomination.
Taft people were still fighting today
and State Manager Lewis (’. Laylin
claimed that the six delegates at large
to he chosen by the state convention
will be for the president. In reply "to
this the Roosevelt manager, Walter F.
Brow n, said:
"The tall will go with the hide.”
Majority of State
Delegates For T. R.
Brown was apparently confident that
the state convention will abide with the
will of the voters as expressed in the
primaries.
Delegates to the state convention
were elected from only about one-third
of the counties, the remainder to be se
lected at county conventions. Roose
velt has a large majority of those
elected.
On the Democratic side Governor
Harmon probably will have the solid
vote of the Ohio delegation in the Bal
timore convention. Though several
Wilson delegates were elected, the unit
rule will he followed as a result of an
agreement made by the Harmon and
Wilson followers at a state committee
meeting.
Governor Harmon seems assured of
28 delegates, while Woodrow Wilson
has captured in addition to the Cleve
land districts, two delegates from the
Third district, making the New Jersey
governor a total of six,
Wilson's best showing was made in

MOTHER OF
WIFE SUES
RUSSELL
HOPKINS
Charges He Took Advantage of
Her Love for Daughter to
Get $275,000.
Russell Hopkins, formerly of At
lanta. but for several years of li’4s Fifth
avenue. New York, faces charges today,
made by .Mrs. Josephine Lawrence, of
New York, that he took advantage of
her love tor beautiful Vera Seagrist,
her granddaughter and the wife of Mr.
Hopkins, to obtain $275,000 from her
within twenty months.
Mrs. Lawrence filcq an affidavit In
the New York supreme court today, ac
cording to dispatches, in which she as
serts that young Hopkins misused her
trust and confidence to deceive her,
playing upon her love for her grand
daughter and great-granddaughter, the
baby girl w hose arrival in the Hopkins
home caused such a furore in New Yoric
last year, and secured large sums of
money from her. She asks tftat he bes,
compelled to cancel promissory notes
for $125,000 diawn by her in*his favor.
Declares Hopkins
Frightened Her.
Mrs. Lawrence’s Affidavit of com
plaint declares that soon after her hus
band'- death Hopkins, upon fictitious
allegation of debt, instituted a suit to
recover $150,000 from the executor of
Dr. Lawrence's will. His large es
tate was left in tr ust for rhe children
of his granddaughter, Vera Lawrence
Hopkins, who receives two-fifths and
Mrs. Lawrence, widow of the testator,
three-fifths of the income during their
lives, lhe survivor of those two to re
ceive all of the income.
After instituting the suit for $150,000,
Mrs. Lawrence stales .Mr. Hopkins, in
whom she had implicit trust, frighten
ed her by predicting great expense In
legal fees and costs and embarrassing
notoriety for herself if the action
should be permitted to go to'trial.
He also constantly importuned her,
Mrs. Lawrence asserts, to make a pri
vate settlement of that suit with him.
Says Wife Helped
Make Settlement.
This was done and $52,000 was paid
by the estate, SIO,OOO by Mrs. Hop
kins, who is only 20 years old and the
ward of her husband under her grand
father’s will, and about sl4,nail by Mrs.
Lawtence, according to the record.
That was not the last of this effort
to collect from her millions, the widow’
declares, and Mr. Hopkins, on the pre
tense that they were mere matters of
form to verify the previous payments
in settlement of the suit, induced hes
to sign a contract and promissory notes *
aggregaing $14,500 last March. Thesi
she seeks to recover.
