SLATON IN THEE
OF HEAVEN WAR
Head of Schools in Court Be
cause Woman Principal Did
Not Cut Down Offender.
"Trees of Heaven." as the Ailantus is I
commonly known, are being; warred
against by the city sanitary depart- |
ment. W. M. Slaton, superintendent of
the public schools, found himself de- j
fendant in a case today before Recorder >
Broyles as a result.
The principal of Boulevard school
was notified /several days ago to cut I
down one of these trees which was I
growing in the yard, and as she failed
to comply with the request made by In
spector Hilderbrand, the case was made
against Mr. Slaton as superintendent
of the schools. When it was shown
that as the tree was on public property
anti, therefore, controlled by the special
committee of council, the case against
the superintendent was dismissed.
Section 1688 of the city code declares
the Ailantus a nuisance on account of
it* offensive odor and provides that it
shall be cut down on twelve hours no
tice h.v the city inspector.
G. SHverblank, of 253 East Hunter
street, was also in court on the same
charge. Yesterday afternoon he told
Inspector Mauldin that he would not
cut his "Tree of Heaven" down for SIOO,
but shortly' after the Inspector left him
with a copy of charges. SilverblanJV(Cut
down the tree and saved himself a fine
today.
Morris Brown college, a negro insti
tution, has been forced within the past
few day# to cut down 25 of these trees,
which shaded the campus and grounds.
By' agreeing at once to remove the of
fensive trees the head of the institution
kept himself out of court.
THEY’RE TRYING TO KICK
HIM OFF WATER WAGON
WASHINGTON, N. J.. May 29.
Harried not only by those who would I
like to see him tumble off the "water
wagon," but also by those who believe
he has not been able to maintain his
perch there, Clinton Weaver posted a
$25 reward for any' one with the hardi
hood to swear that he has seen Weaver I
drink at any bar since February 11.
Weaver says he was spurred to of- |
fer the reward by reason of the fact
that some people have tried to under- i
mine his resolution, descending at I
times to the despicable resource of
sending liquor to his home to tempt
him after a hard day’s work.

VERY GOOD FOR ALL
KINDS OF BUSINESS
Only a Few Hours Each Week
For An Entire Year Amounts
To More Than Expected.
Mr. Level Head, who is the "master
mind” in a successful business, listen
ing to complaints about business de
pression, said:
"The main trouble with business Is
that you th'nk too much about it du -
ing leisure hours. Try my plan As
soon as I leave my place of business at
ni/tht I forget It. <>n an average of two
nr threg nights a week I do a little edflcu
tional reading nothing heavy—l don't
study. For instance. Just at the present
time I am interested in reviewing the
Atlas I got from The Georgian I have
read the chapter on the official ma
chinery at our seat of government, I
am looking up principal cities through- |
out the world and reading descriptions ■
of them. All of this helps me in my i
business, because it tak< s my mind off '
of the little cares and worries, and at '
the same time instructs and interests '
me.
"By spending a few hiui- a week in
this way I figure that it equals about
two weeks of continuous reading witljin
a year's time. Think of th< informa

Alfred Henry Lewis Finds
Consensus of Opinion Lies
in That Direction.
By ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.
WASHINGTON. May 29.-Coming
down to this Jericho of Party I fell in
stantly among politlciana and prophets.
It is everywhere the word that the two
Whit? House nominees will be C'ark
for the Democrats and Roosevelt for
the Republicans. Only the few will say
this for publication, and in the way of
an Interview.
The aggregate of prophecy is that
There Is this to be noticed, however,
as foreshadowing a final Republican de
feat. Even the most radical Roosevelt
shouters, all red paint, feathers and up
roar, understand most thoroughly that
the votes in Maryland, in Massachu
setts, in Pennsylvania, in Illinois, in
Ohio, in New Jersey, were votes not so
much pro-Roosevelt as antl-Taft.
The story told by the returns was not
that Taft lost them.
President Is Peevish.
They say That it is not pleasant these
days to be In the heated Taft vicinity
He is peevish, nervous, over-strained
and inclined to visit upon those about
him his resentments for the misfor
tunes which have overtaken him.
It was not until these recent pri
mary elections that Taft got any true
impression of where he stood, or rather
didn't stand, with the rank and file o’
his party. For this ignorance he
blames Crane. Penrose. Hilles, Hitch
cock and even Smoot.
Harmon Hopes Shrinking.
Crossing over to the Democrats,
about the Harmon headquarters there
is no atmosphere of hope. All is- re
spsctabiilty and pessimism. Harmon is
conservative to the point of being re
actionary. and this is a radical year.
Decidedly it is not a Harmon year.
There is no real belief that he has a
chance of being named.
It can not be said that the Under
wood adherents expect to land their
man None the less, they are gay and
happy Underwood is young, with a
score or more of years before him. He
may be heard of in 1916 or 1920, or
even 1924. This, for some reason not
easy to make.out by folks who trust
only to the present, serves to cheer the
souls of his people.
With Harmon it is different. He is
68 years old. and so far as a presidency
is involved, it is a ease of now or never

HARVARD TEACHER
HAS A METHOD TO
BRING DEAD TO LIFE
BOSTON. May 29. —Dr. Walter B.
Cannon, professor of physiology at the
Harvard Medical school, has perfected
a scientific means of bringing back the
departed spark of anima! rife. He de
clares that if the new method should
be employed in each and every < ase of
de-th a large percentage of the sup
posed inanimate bodies could be re
vived.
The method consists of the introduc
tion of a tube or catheter into the
pharynx pulling the tongue, forcing the
back part of the tongue against the
i oof of the mouth by pref.sure applied
fat back under th<- chin, putting a
weight on the abdomen to keep air
from being forced into the stomach,
connecting the catheter with a bellows
and pumping air into the lungs.
part of it. Many insist that In event of
Wilson getting out, more of his dele
gates would go to’Clhrk. than could be
driven to Bryan.
It is preposterous, they argue, to as
sume that Wilson has such ownership
and control over what delegates have
been pledged to him, as to be able to
dump and deliver them—as one might
a ton of coal —at the Bryan of any oth
er door.
Once 'et Wilson step aside and in
spite of all that he or Bryan could do,
it would be Clark with the rush of a
storm. As between Bryan and Clark,
every Harmon delegate, every Under
wood delegate, would be for Clark,
At the Clark headquarters there is a
distinct feeling of victory on its way.

SIGHT OF JACKIES
U. S. Marines in Cuba Move to
Protect American Lives
and Property.
SANTIAGO, CUBA. May 29.—United
States marines were today moved to
strategic positions to protect Ameri
can lives and interests in Santiago
province against attack by the negro
rebels. The first of the jaekies to go
into action against the negro rebels
was a detachment from the cruise;
Prairie, which arrived yesterday at
Caimanera. Blacks near that point
attacked a plantation, but were soon
driven off by the Americans. As soon
as the negroes saw the sailors ap
proaching they fled.
Marines are being stationed at San
tiago, Guantanamo and Sipe Bay.
There are large American interests at
Sipe Bay, both plantations and mines.
President Gomez claims to have 900
armed troops in the field against the
rebels. These, ne declares, have been
divided into small detachments for the
better protection of plantations. The
military authorities are apparently
waiting until 1,200 additional troops or
dered to the front reach there before a
general campaign is begun against the
insurgents.
Negroes Poorly Armed.
The most serious disorder exists in
the regions about Guantanamo, San
Luis, Palma Soriano and Lamaya.
Large detached bodies of negroes have
been seen on the northern coast, but
they were poorly armed.
The main body of the rebels under
Ivonlet and Estenoz is not far from
Lamaya. intrenched in the hills. The
federal/. In order to attack, must move
through a thickly grown jungle and
across dangerous swamps. •
Major General Monteagudo is in
command of the government troops
which are drawing up in front of the
rebel column.
Several skirmishes between rebel-,
lious blacks and rurales are reported,
in all of which the negroes were de
feated.-

To Preside Alone at Militia
Debate—Rival Declines to
Introduce Vardaman.
Thomas G. Hudson will not introduce
Senator Vardaman to Atlanta when the
Mississippian speaks for the benefit of
the Fifth regiment at the Audtorium-
Armory, but John M. Slaton will pre
side over the Hanley-Hobson debate,
the first of a series of entertainments
given by the regiment.
This is the outcome of an odd mix
up in which the gubernatorial candi
dates found themselves as a result of
an attempt to have them act jointly on
the Fifth regiment program.
Overtures were made to both Hud
son and Slaton to preside jointly at the
Hanley-Hobson debate on May 30. For
mer Governor Slaton declined to act
with Mr. Hudson and the Fifth regi
ment committee tjccided to have Slaton
for the Stanley-Hobson number and
Hudson for Senator Vardaman.
Former Governor Slaton promptly
accepted the invitation to act alone, ex
tended by C. A. Stokes, chairman of
the entertainment committee, and the
latter was forced to revoke the invi
tation sent to Mr. Hudson. He substi
tuted for it an invitation, to introduce
Senator Vardaman later.
In a letter to Hudson, Stokes said:
"Not knowing that Mr. Bridges had
already made arrangements with you
to preside jointly, I told Mr. Slaton that
there was to be only one. and it would
perhaps be better for him in his own
county to be the one. I wish to ask you
to do us the honor to preside, by your
self, and introduce Senator Vardaman
at a lecture to be given a week later.”
Mr. Hudson replied:
‘Have so many requests for speak
ing dates that I can not now tell what
my prospects will be in the near future
for introducing Senator Vardaman who
is to lecture for the military of At
lanta.”
