GIRL,J CAPTIVE,
FORCED TO WED
Mother of Bride of 13 Swears
Out Warrants Against Bride -
groom and Aid,
A tale of how her daughter of thir
teen had been forcibly wedded by a
youth of eighteen was told by Mrs.
Lindy Beck, of Chattahoochee, who
came to Atlanta today to search for
the two. There had been no love, no
courtship, said Mrs. Beck. The boy
had simply seen the girl, had lured
her away from home and borne her off
as did the primitive man when his
eyes struck one that pleased him.
The boy is Carl Henderson. In his
primeval abduction he was assisted by
his father and a companion. James
•"raw ford. Mrs. Beck stated toda- that
she hoped to have the marriage an
nulled and to have young Henderson
landed in jail on a charge of abduction
and assault and battery.
How Girl Was Stolen.
Mrs. Beck told this story:
Yesterday afternoon two women of
Chattahoochee came to the Beck
home and called to Mamie Beck, the
daughter. Fearing no harm. Mamie
went out into the yard. She was then
led through the woods to a house where
Carl Henderson, his father. Sam Hen
derson, and James Crawford were wait
ing for her. Mrs. Beck followed. Upon
her arrival at the house she found het
daughter inside with Carl Henderson
and demanded that the child come back
with her.
When she made this demand she was
pushed aside by Henderson, who
told his son to carry the girl to a min
ister as soon as possible. While the
two were making off Mrs. Beck was
held by James Crawford.
Says She'll Prosecute AH.
Young Henderson had never called
at the Beck home.
Mrs. Beck had never heard her
daughter speak of him.
Mrs. Beck declared today that every
person concerned in the marriage-bj
force would be prosecuted.
Later in the afternoon she swore out
warrants against Carl and Sam Hen
derson and James Crawford, charging
them with assault and battery. At
torney A. C. Corbett, of Moore &
Branch, was employed to .represent her.

Boy and Girl, Too, Come to
“Sex Controller” —He Says
Both Are Ideal.
NEW YORK, Slay 23.—Scientists to
day are deeply interested in the claim
of Dr. David Allyn Gorton, the Brook
lyn physician, that he has discovered
the secret of sex control.
Just about a year 'ago Dr. Gorton,
who is in his eightieth year, married
Bert ha \ Rolihcin. his stenographer and
literary secretary. A romance. his
friends called the marriage, but today
it appears to have been a romance of
a more philosophical order than they
suspected.
By DR. D. A. GORTON.
I am overjoyed at the gracious grant
to me ynd mine of twins a son and a
daughter, both the mqst beautiful chil
dren that I ever have seen. I did not
bespeak for but one—a son -hut the
gift of a daughter twin was not less
welcome, be assured.
It was a grave responsibility at my
age—near 80—to become the father of
a child. It was no hasty or ill-con
sidered resolution, but a deliberate one,
full of purpose and meaning; and I
would have it understood that I was
actuated by the'highest and most ex
alted motives, in which my wife fully
shared. An ambition to rear a son who
would be able to lake up my task when
I must lay it down has possessed me
for more than a quarter of a century.
I am criticised in certain quarters,
and not without excellent reasons, for
assuming so great a task at this time
of my life. Time alone can decide as
to the wisdom, or otherwise, of my
course. It required no small degree of
courage to carry my purpose; but to
achieve it I would sacrifice ease and
comfort and run the risk of short al
lowance and penury the rest of my
days.
Outlines His Theories.
I believe that my theories of per
petual youth have worked out. Here
are the essentials:
First, work in fundamental. I have
been a hard working fellow all my life,
and work is what has kept me young.
It’s trite but true; it never killefl any
man. Work hard for work's sake, for
there is no branch of industry In which
yijli can use your hands without exer
cising your biains, I went to work on
a farm in northern New York when I
was eight, and I have been working
ever since. I abominate the-factory
laws which prevent children being em
ployed. It is far better that they
should work, if the employment can
be under sanitary ami healthful con
ditions. than that they be turned loose
to pernicious idleness. It would be far
better if the children of the poor were
placelhat healthful employment young
er. 1 would require it also of the rfch;
perhaps they need it more.
Second, education; and that should
be on much different lines. There never
was a greater precept than “Know
thyself.’’ The schools do wrong in
teaching children letters and keeping
them"in ignorance of themselves. Nat
ural science and the laws of life should
come first.
Third, eat to live. Do not eat for
pleasure. Avoid a meat diet unless
you wish to pander to passion. I would
not feed children meat unless 1 wished
to breed up a race of fighters and
bloodthirsty men.
Four, be content to the point of self
preservation. Do not live for pleasure.

Finance Committee Expected
to Move at Last to Avert
Menacing Situation.
“If the members of the finance com
mittee feel that this garbage disposal
proposition is too big a matter for
them to act on finally, let them refer it
to council without recommendation A
special meeting of council can be called
and we can decide it there," said a
prominent (member of council and a
member of the finance committee today.
It is expected, however, that the
finance committee will take final action
at its meeting this afternoon. W. H.
Sawyer & Sons and the Forsyth Cre
matory Company, both of Atlanta, will
submit new propositions. But the sen.
timent of a majority of the finance
committee Is to recommend the propo
sition the board of health urges—the
$440,000 bid of the Destructor Company
of New York.
W. H. Sawver <£• Sons will submit a
bid io build a reduction plant which
will separate all the valuable parts of
the garbage for $247,500. The Forsyth
Crematory Company will offer to buiid
a 250-ton capacity incinerator for $50,-
000. Members of the board of Health
have already considered both of these
propositions. They say Expert Hering
has recommended the high-priced plant
with the electric plant and water pump
as the berft plan for the city, and that
they have been convinced that he is
right.
Mayor Winn said today it was up to
the finance committee to act and mem
bers of the board of health and other
officials will be present this afternoon
to urge dispatch. I(
"We are exasperated at the delay,
said Dr. W L. Gilbert today; “We must
begin at once to relieve the city of this
garbage nuisance.”

USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Re
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color.
It is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it, although it
is possible to do both. Our gi and moth
ers understood the secret. They made
a "sage tea,” and their dark, glossy ha r
long after middle life was due to this
fact. Our mothers have gray hairs be
fore they are fifty, but they, are begin
ning to appreciate the wisdom of our
grandmothers in using “sage tea” for
their hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the ad
vantage of the past in that it can get a
ready-to-use preparation called Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy.
As a scalp tonic and color restorer this
preparation is vastly superior to the
ordinary “sage tea" made by our grand
mothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on a healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff
germs which rob the hair of its life,
color and lustre, makes the scalp clean
and . healthy.. gives -the hair strength,
color and beauty, and makes it grow.
