FOR THE PRICE OF
A BEAUTIFUL DOLL

I'h many club friends of William
Proudfoot Burden, multi-millionaire,
have found much enjoyment recently in
twitting the social favorite about that
song
Perhaps the* story would not have
leaked out but for the failure of sev

due for just such a doll.
Yesterday Judge Marks listened to
the stories of these futile watchers out
side the Burden mansion and in his in
dignation ordered that the summons be
nailed to the door of the big house at
Fifth avenue and Seventy - second
street, if necessary .
The complainant, a Fifth avenue shop
owner, presents the story. According
to him, Mr. Burden strolled into the
fashionable stole, accompanied by a
most fashionable young woman.
The girl admired a collection of
French dolls and' became so enthusias
tic that. <>f course, Mr. Burden imme
diately ordered a doll and the delighted
young woman clasped it to her bosom.
"Just charge that to my account." is
wAt the shop owner says Mr. Burden
ordered. And it was done.
Now. weary of waiting, the shop
owners have brought court action.

DARROW OFFERER
ID GONEESS-OTIS
Publisher Says Labor Lawyer’s
Overtures in Bribery Case
Were Refused.
CHICAGO, May 25.— ; “1 personally

fession by Clarence S. Darrow have
been made ami that they will be re
fused unless h<* tells all he knows,"
said Harrison Gtay Otis, publisher of
The Los Angeles Times, who was in
Chicago on his way to the roast. It
was the destruction of The Times

about the arrest of the McNamara

geles, during which Attorney Darrow is
said to have attempted to bribe jurors.
"They have convincing evidence.l’
,'ttis continued. “When the overture:
for a confession were made, th, dis
trict attorney sent word to Darrow that
he would accept only a complete con
fession. naming the big labor leaders
implicated in the affair and telling the
part they took. I believe Darrow will
confess. H, is sure t , be convicted,
anyway.”
Reports that Da'Tow had made over
tures* to the district attorney in Los
Angeles previously circulated, were
vigorously denied by Darrow, who said
he had no idea of confessing, as he
had nothing to confess. He expected
speedy acquittal, he said. District At
torney Fredericks also denied that any
confession was expected or had been
talked of between him and the defend
ant in the bribery case.

A group of pinks, rows of nasturtiums

are living, today on a bald red hill in

They look glad to be alive.
In the school house are rows upon
rows of human pinks and violets. At
noon time the the twain meet and talk
to each othei In some kind of language.
One of these little violets is Frances
Peek, the ten-year-old daughter of W.
F. Peck. When, under the direction of
Miss Ora Stamps, the principal of
Edgewood school, the children began Io
plant seeds several months ago, little
Frances wanted to know* why pinks
weren't being planted. The opinion was
ventured by some one . that pinks could
not survive In such hard soil. But the
tearful injunctions of Frances prevailed
and pinks were planted, every one be
lieving, however, that they would die.
Frances Wins Struggle.
But Frances was a mother to the lit

their heads above the soil she nursed
and coddled them. Each day she coaxed
and pleaded with the tint bed and one
day it seemed tn soften and a tiny sprig
of green appeared. A little while and

NEGROES IN PLOT

Havana in Panic When Firing
of Revolutionists Near the
City Is Heard.
HAVANA. May 25.—-In connection
with the negro uprising, a conspiracy
to kill President Gomez is said to have
been discovered. Several arrests have
been made in Havana All the prison
ers arc hcl<! incommunicado.
Havanans were terrors!ricken early
today when firing was heard at Casa
Blanca, near Cabanas fortress, on the
north shore of Havana bay. Troops
were rushed to that point. The fact
that the defenses of lhe city had been
weakened by the withdrawal of troops
for the eastern provinces added to fears
for outlying districts. The military
guard at the presidential palace was
tripled today.
New-- from the provinces, although
censored, tells of a condition of anarchy
in the eastern end of the island. In
Oriente province the negro rebels are
maltreating women and children.
The rebels under General Estonez
have begun destroying railroads and
cutting telegraph and telephone wires.
A repetition of the guerillla warfare
maintained against Spain for many
years is expected.
Foreigners are panicstricken. and all
who can do so are seeking refugej n
the cities. There are many rumors of
Americans and Englishmen being killed
in the outlying .sections, hut the censor
ship is so severe and the wire*, so badly
interrupted it was impossible Io con
firm these reports.
Th* labor situation increased the
government's trouble-. Stevedores in
Oriente province are on strike and re
fuse to yield. President Gomez was
defied when he ordered lhe firemens
union to call off its strike in this city,
the beginning of the school term and it
yvas to go to the school whqh by its
own efforts grew the best display of
plants and flowers. A committee com
posed of Mrs. XV. A. Gregg, Mrs. Edgar

pointed to select the prize winner.

award to make Edgewood was chosen.
The fact that the Edgewood children
bad worked against such difficult ob
stacles threw Hie balance in their favor.

GRAOY HOSPITAL
OPENED 0i GIH
Public Invitied to Inspect Com
plete. Modern Building, the
Finest in South.
The new Grady hospital, with the
first sanitarium roof garden in the
South, will be opened formally this aft
ernoon in the presence of the mayor,
members of the city council, bond com
missioners and hospital officials.
The open air ward is the most com
plete and convenient in the United
States. High in the air. above all sur
rounding buildings, the roof garden
gets the benefit of continuous cooling
breezes, away from dust and noise and
is regarded as ideal. The heavy work
is all concrete, and the sides are
screened. x
The garden has space for beds, but
it now has only twelve. A memorial
tablet to the late Walker P. Inman has
been placed in the ward. A part of his
bequest to the hospital was for the
building of such a ward
Public Invited Sunday.
The officials taking part in the open
ing will be shown through the new
hospital by Dr. W. B. Summerall. the
superintendent, and every department
and feature thoroughly explained. Num
erous Improvements over old ideas and
old styles will be in evidence, as the
hospital has been built on the most
modern and scientific lines.
The public will have an opportunity
to see the new hospital tomorrow. It
will be kept open all day for inspection.
Patients will not be received until
Monday.
"We are proud of this new hospital.”
said Dr. Summerall today, “and are
anxious for the public to see what has
been given them for their bond money.
Atlanta has the finest and most up-to
date hospital in the South now, there'S
no doubt of it.”
The structure is four stories in
heighth. w'itb a spacious basement. It
is absolutely* fire proof, which is one of
its greatest features. The spotle«s
white effect throughout the wards and
corridors renders the interior particu
larly attractive. The building is equip
ped with an electric elevator.
Has Private Pay Ward,
Th® opening of the new hospital
marks the return of the private pay
ward, which was abolished in the old
hospital several years ago. Twelve
rooms have been set apart for private
patients.
The offices of the superintendent and
the clerical force will be In the new
structure, but Information Clerk Long
will continue his office tn the old build
ing. The main entrance to the hospital
will be in the old building, as at pres

"Well," he replied. “I'm' unpreju
