WATSON IN
ATLANTA
FOR 810
FIGHT
Friends Give Him Big Recep
tion at Station —Here to
City Politicians.
Thomas E. Watson arrived in At
lanta, smiling and full of fight, at 1:05
o’clock this aftemoffn.
He came byway of the Georgia rail
road and was met at the old Union sta
tion by a whooping, cheering, happy
throng of his admirers and well wish
ers.
Watson said he was determined to
carry out his announced program to
the ultimate letter
He has specifically outlined his de
mands upon the convention, and he will
insist upon them every one uncompro
misingly.
He is particularly resolved to defeat
Thomas B Felder's aspirations to the
national convention.
Watson and Felder will not both go
to Baltimore—one or the other must
' stay at home Watson's meeting to
night will be well attended, but wheth
er it will make or break Watson is
** problematical.
Both Felder and Watson are entlre-
A ly confident of winning; but a count
of noses this morning seemed to favor
the Atlanta man.
Greeted By Mass of Friends.
Dressed in his most statesmanlike
garb, regulation black slouch hat and
all' Thomas E. Watson, the “red-headed
' person from McDuffie,” stepped off the
Georgia train at 1:05 o’clock this after
noon intb the arms of a seething mass
of pro-Watson humanity, smiling and
apparently utterly unafraid.
To the first admiring friend grasping
his hand he said: ‘Well, here I am,
boys; if anybody thought I wouldn t
come. lam going to beat ’em, sure!
Then the cheering and the pushing,
and the shoving began, and Watson
moved off. the center of a howding pack
of enthusiastic partisans, toward '‘the
Kimball house.
He’s Out After Scalps.
The Thomson man has not changed
his fighting program one Jot or tittle —
not even one little jolt or swat.
He is out after scalps —Tom Felder's
scalp in particular.
He realizes fully that he must crack a
few heads in order to put over his am
bitious program for tonight and tomor
row, and he knows also that he may
get his own head cracked as he goes
along.
He has selected the head of Thomas
B Felder as one that particularly
needs cracking; but, as Felder has ex
pressed a positive determination to
crack first, there is some doubt as to
exactly what will happen at cracking
time.
What Watson
Asks of Convention.
Mr. Watson demands of the state
... i- 1 mvention:
i’lrst, that he be elected one of the
’ .. delegates-at-large to Baltimore, and
*y that he be made chairman of the dele
gation.
Second, that his caucus tonight shall
name the temporary and permanent
chairmen of the convention tomorrow.
Third, that he shall pass upon the
qualifications of his associate delegates
to Baltimore, and that certain specified
persons shall not be upon the delega
tion.
Fourth, that the convention shall in
struct specifically against Mr. Bryan's
nomination for the presidency.
Fifth, the elimination of the “city
politicians” from the political situation
in Georgia, and the seating in the
convention of Wilson delegates from
counties that went for Wilson in the
late presidential primary, notwith
standing the rule of the state commit
tee under which the primary was held.
Sixth, anything else that Mr. Watson
happens to think he wants before the
convention adjourns.
Desperate efforts have been made to
keep the peace between Mr. Watson
and the city politicians." so-called, but
u tterjv without avail.
When he first intimated a desire to
a »n Baltimore as a delegate-at-large,

said he was entitled to go because of

WATERWORKS HEAD
GOES TO CONVENTION
TO GET ECONOMY TIPS
W. Z. Smith, general manager of the
city waterworks, will go to the conven
tion of the American Waterworks asso
ciation at Louisville next week. Some
rash person asked Smith if he did not
think it a little early for city officials to
be taking vacations.
"Attending this convention is cer
tainly not a vacation,” he quickly’ re
plied. "It is hard work and we get
many valuable ideas.
“This year we are saving SIB,OOO in
the cost of meters through information
I received at a convention two years
ago. The dealers were all bidding list
prices to us, while they were cutting
their prices to some other cities. We
cam® back and proceeded to make them
cut their prices to us."
TRAVELERS FIGHTING
NEW MILEAGE LAW
IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Commercial travelers from Atlanta
making points in South Carolina are
going to protest against the present
mileage book law in that state at the
next meeting of its legislature. Under
it. if they buy a mileage book to *travel
on from this city to some point in that
state, the book is useless to them until
they are ready to return to Georgia or
some other point outside South Caro
lina. They have to invest in a second
book for travel locally while there.
The system was Inaugurated by rail
roads In that state when the legislature
demanded that mileage be accepted on
trains instead of making passengers
exchange it for tickets at stations. It
became effective May 1, and commer
cial men say’ it now costs them more to
use mileage In the state than to pur
chase straight tickets.

FOR POWER TOWERS
ATTACKED IN COURT

highways will be tested in third divi
sion of superior court shortly.

Mill road, has obtained a temporary or
der restraining the Central Georgia
Transmission Company from erecting
tower lines along the road into Atlanta
byway of Lakeview Heights. Judge
Pendleton has set the hearing for per
manent injunction on June 1.
Todd asserts in his suit that the
county’ commission in granting the
Central company the right to erect
tower lines on the public highway’ has
acted outside of the powers given it by
law.

DEAD MAN’S SHOES
PART OF EVIDENCE
AT STAYING TRIAL
MACON, GA.. May 28.—The dead
man's shoes were introduced as evi
dence today in the first "unwritten
law” case on record in Macon courts,
when Jesse W. Land, a grocer, was
placed on trial for the death of Ed
Hughes, another grocer. Both operated
stores In the same section of East Ma
con. Land candidly admits that he.
killed HugheS and claims that he did ft
only after being Convinced that Hughes
was too intimate with his wife.
The shoes figure in the case on th*
claim of the defense that they were
found under a window of Land's home
the morning of the killing. Before the
tragedy. Land claims, his wife spent
more time at Hughes’ store than at his
own.
The killing took place last July, when
Land was on his way to open his store
about 6 o'clock in the morning. He
passed Hughes' store and saw him
standing at the door, whereupon he
pulled his pistol and commenced firing.
Hughes also drew his pistol, but three
of Land's bullets had taken effect be
fore Hughes could fire. He died in
stantly.
SPALDING, A SLATON
SUPPORTER, PEEVED
BY FIGHT ON WATSON
A sidelight on the Watson-Felder con
troversy was sprung this afternoon. ac
cording to those present, at a meeting of
Mr. Slaton's friends in the office of Mor
ris Brandon. It was a quiet little meet
ing and the press was given no intimation
of it, but it is declared J. I Spalding,
one of Mr. Slaton's stalwart supporters,
said "somebody was making an ass of
himself" In the fight on Tom Watson.
Mr. Slaton, who is a candidate for gov
ernor. has kept out of the fight between
Watson and Felder, as has each of the
other candidates, but it was said at the
meeting this afternoon that Fulton's fight
on Watson might bring the “red-headed
person's" wrath on the Fulton county
candidate and cause no end of trouble in
the future.
No action of any kind was taken, it i«'
said, but it was the consensus of opinion
that it was the part of wisdom to lie low
and say nothing until the stat* conven
tion has done its worst.
HUSBAND AVERS GIRL
WEDDED FOR SPITE;
JURY SEVERS BONDS
'Judge, she told me just after we were
married that she did not love me. but
married me to spite another man," -said
Leo Oppenheim to Judge Pendleton in
third division of superior court today in
seeking a separation from Ara Oppen
heim, a strikingly pretty girl of sixtjsn
summers.
Oppenheim told the court that it was
his wife's wont to stay out late at night
and hold telephone conversations with
young men—which his pretty wife stren
uously denied when she took the stand.
■'l left him to take care of my father's
children after my mother died," she as
serted. and her father, who appeared in
court, substantiated her allegations. The
speedv jury cut the marriage bonds with
out delay and gave both the right of fu
t .ire marriage.
