Rich Atlantan Plans to Leave
His Fortune to Youngster
Mamed tor Him.
Atlanta is to have a million-dollar
baby
The suit brought against Russell Hop
kins, of Atlanta and New York, by the
grandmother of Mrs ETopkins, may bring
about a change in family arrangements
and send little Josephine Lawrenep Hop
kins, the “million-dollar baby." back to
her father and mother And nox\ that
trouble has arisen between rhe younger
that John Randolph Hopkins, 2d. who is
generation and the elder, it is promised
lust a year old. will be another 'million
dollar baby, and a rival of his sister, for
Dr. J. R Hopkins, of Atlanta, the baby's
grandfather. sa\ > his will will provide
for his young namesake
Dr. Hopkins refused to take seriously
the charges made by Mrs. Lawrence > es-
against his son. Russell, former
Atlantan and consul representing Panama
here, who eloped several years ago with
beautiful Vera Segrist. fled up the Hudson
with her on his yacht and married her
despite the objections ol old Mt 'iw
fence and his wife, grand parents of the
bride. Dr Hopkins believes that Mrs
Lawrence lias been deceived h\ attorneys
or others into making charges against
her granddaughter's husband, and H con
fident that everything will be straight
ened out.
Russell and Wife
Both Jim Dandies.
‘ Russell is all right, ’ he said He was
talking to a reporter on the •hady ve
randa of hie home at Peachtree and
Baker street “Russell may be a high
roller, but that's his business, and I’ve
never heard anybody >ay he was any
thing but a good fellow and straight as a
die. Ill's wife is all right, too. Russell s
a jim-dandy, and his wife's a jim-dandy
They don't have to wheedle money out
of Mrs. Lawrence or anybody else ;<
long as I've got a red. and I'm not hntl-.c
by a long sight.
“You know little Josephine. Russell
baby girl, is living with her great-grand
mother. Mrs. Lawrence The ha by is worth
a million or more, left her by Dr. Law -
fence, and the old lady is very fond of
the child I don't know what arrange
ment will be made nnw that Mrs. Law
rence has fallen out with Russell May
be he will take the baby home with him.
She was never legally adopted by Mrs.
Lawrence, you know She just lived with
the old lady
“I Guess He'll
Get Everything.”
“But sire won’t be the only million
dollar baby' in the Hopkins family Look
at this picture. That's young John Ran
dolph Hopkins, the second. They named
him for me. He’s a year oh! now, and
he's a jim-dandy. I guess he’ll have ev
erything I’ve got when my time conies.
I haven't any children but Russell, you
know. The little girl has a fortune of
her own, so 1 guess the boy will get mine.
“You ought to see Russell’s home up
the Hudson. It's the pride of the river.
No. he doesn't keep his zoo any more, it
outgrew’ the place and I persuaded him
to give it up. But he has a yacht and
motor cars and everything else to make
him and his wife happy. Why shouldn't
they ?
“Yes, Russell has a business. He suc
ceeded to several enterprises which Dr.
Lawrence left He doesn't fritter-away
his time. Certainly, he’s a free spender,
but he has it to spend. He isn’t a bad
boy Never gave me any trouble He
just likes to have a good time, and I guess
he has it. You can't make any of his
Atlanta friends think he has done any
thing wropg.’’

th*' lives of hundreds of prisoners early
today has been begun b\ the county

Th" burned factory was <3O feet from

ACTION 10011
ON Gill PLANT
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. If.
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. Sawyer & Sons will submit a
bid to build a reduction plant which
will separate all the valuable parts of
the garbage for $247,500. The Forsyth
Crematory Company will offer to bulid
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 atid water pump
as the best plan for the city, and that,
they have been convinced that h® is
right.

LAW VIOLATORS BEGUN
Banker’s Son in Mix-Up With-
Police—Mother Comes to
His Rescue. ,
Two of Atlanta’s wealthiest young
clubmen. Walter Candler, aon of Asa
G. Candler, and Stewart Witham, son
of W. S. Witham, the banker, ■ with
seven other autoists and chauffeurs,
will appear before Recorder Broyles
this afterffodn to ajiswer to charges of
violating th* city automobile ordi
nances.
These cases mark the opening of a
vigorous crusade started by Chief
Beavers against violators of the auto
laws.
Young Candler is accused of exceed
ing the speed limit as he was driving
out Edgewood avenue on his way to
his home In Inman Park. Policemen
McDaniel. Williams and Robertson,
who have been specially detailed by
Chief eßavers to curb speeding auto
ists, made the case. They say Can
dler whizzed through the street at a
lively clip. He was served with a copy
of charges, citing him to appear in po
lice court this afternoon.
Many Complaints
Made to Chief.
All of the remaining cases, with the
exception of that against young With
am. were made by these same officers
and charge speeding.
The offending autoists are S. E. Bas
sett, 54fi Peachtree street; Herbert
Slltzer, 46 Ponce DeLeon avenue; F.
L. Marco, Majestic hotel; E. .1. Akrtdge,
J. G. Burkhardt, 358 Washington street;
O. L. Chafin. 137 Mills street, and John
Griffin. 16 Savannah street.
Chief Beavers said today that he
ha.® received many complaints of late
regarding violations of the auto laws,
particularly as to speeding and allow
ing muffler cut-outs to remain open.
“These laws must be enforced, and
it seems that the only way to do this
is to make cases." said the chief. ‘‘Time
and time again we have warned auto
ists that these laws must be observed,
but these warnings have beetj futile.
We don't want to be hard on autoists,
but the safety of pedestrians and of the
autoists themselves demands that the
utmost care be used in the driving of
cars through our crowded streets."
Interest centers in the trial of young
Witham, who Is accused of interfering
with Policeman Welchel in Peachtree
street, in front of the Arargon hotel.
