THE WEATHER. Forecast For Atlanta and Georgia: Cloudy today; fair tomofow. VOL. X. NO. 253. END DELAY ON CITY PLANTS OFFICIALS 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 would haw ATLANTA yY 'y'~y 'y' yY“y*~y “7 ~y~ “y ~y Bailey, If, ... _yY xz" "y*" YY YY YY YY ~y YY "y~ Ganley, rs .. ~y yY~~xYYYyz y - yYy~*y~y< ~y" Hemphill, cf.

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.' 'La Favorita’ and 'll Trovatore’ re quire a young, fresh, pure voice. These rich metallic voices are disappearing, alas! ” 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.

Watson, called by some the "red-headed person" from McDuf fie, talked frankly and interestingly to The Georgian, over the long distance telephone today, from his home in Thomson, and what he said about some men and some things was more than ordinarily entertaining. To certain specific inquiries put by The Georgian Mr. Watson made reply as follows; REPORTER—WiII you sit in the state convention, Mr. Watson? WATSON—I sure will. REPORTER—WiII you be named as a delegate-at-large to Balti more? WATSON There is no doubt whatever about it. REPORTER —Will you and your friends control the convention? WATSON—Er—well.

WATSON—It is going to be held, and it is going to be some meeting, too. . REPORTER—Do you think the Underwood leaders sincere in their backing of you? WATSON—A bsolu tel y.

Umpires THE RESULT. Roosevelt 30 Taft 10 LaFollette 0 Doubtful 2 WiS. 1 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 Continued on Page Two.

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. Mrs. Lawrence is 71 years of age The amount which she accuses her son-in-law of obtaining by misrepre sentation or coercion from her hus-
