battle, for life that lasted three weeks.
The end tame after one of the most
remarkable struggles against the dis
ease that physi-. :.m. have cv< r known
For more than 36 hours Wright's tem
perature had stood between 104 and
105 degrees, while his respiration was
between 40 and 30. His purse averaged
140. Stimulants were tesorted to and
f.'tr th ■ last three days had been used
freely At las’ midnight Wright began
to sink rapidly. His pulse grew weak
er and he failed to respond to stimu
lants
At Wright’s bedside were his father.
Bishop Milton Wright; his sister, Kath
erine; hi- brother ayid co-worker and
inventor. Orville Wright, and Lorin and
P.euchlin M right. ynunger brothers. Dr.
Conklin was m attendance when the
end came.
Wilbur Wright's Illness began a little
more than three weeks ago. Ho grow
rapidly worse and his condition be
came critical within a week after he
had been attacked by the malady.
Wonderful Vitality
Shown From First.
Orville Wright, brother of the in
ventor. who was in Washington taking
ivp with government official® some mat
ters in connec’flbni with the govern
ment’s use of the Wright machines, was
miiffrfdftned home. Shortly after he ar
rived cablegrams wore sent to foreign
countries which the inventor had ex
pected soon to visit, saying that it
wouffl be impossible to make the trip
f>: some days'. Then for the first time
it as known 'hat Wilbur s condition

th> ply si< ians hope that he might re
viver. H- aroused himself sufficiently
to say that he would get well, and then
h grimly battled against death, fight
ing desperately against disease.
A second sinking spell occurred, and
three days ago Dr. Conklin announced
that there was no hope. Wright sank
into a state of --oma. He rallied slight
ly and though his fever was very high. ,
there s e.ntd a slight chance be j

vitality and he is putting up a gallant
fight. He may live. I can not tell."
Wright's condition again took a turn
for the woise about midnight. He sank
into unconsciousness and during the

BUILDING IN FORSYTH
FORSYTH. GA.. May 30.—Because a
hen belonging to T. S. Holland, sheriff

After a disastrous fire had destroyed
the Forsyth hotel and two residences,
Bernice Bell, a negro youth, who had
been employed as a bellboy and had
be.en discharged by the hotel manager,
was arrested and placed in the jail,
charged with setting fire to the hotel.
Now coryes the hen and lays an egg
with a peculiar letter tracing on the
shell reading: ''Bernice Bell burned the
hotel."
At least that’s what the sheriff and
a lot of other folks who have seen the
egg say. And the egg was found by the
sheriff s w ife.

Chamber of Commerce Backs
Plan for Most Sweeping
Investigation.
A sweeping investigation of every
city department is today planned by
the Chamber of Commerce. Outside
experts of national reputation are to
be brought to Atlanta, to delve to the
heart of Atlanta’s administration af
fairs in an effort to cut out unneces
sary extravagances, force material
economies and bring about improved
methods, where possible. In the conduct
of the city's affairs
The projected probe is planned by the
Chamber of Commerce despite the
strenuous opposition of most of the city
officials themselves, including some
members of council. But the plan ha:
progressed to the point that the au
thorizing resolution is now slated for a
vote in council Monday afternoon, with
every probability that it will be passed.
The investigation will be financed by
the Chamber of Commerce, which has
already voted to put up the $6,000 that
the inquisitors will charge for their
work
Experts to Study
City Conditions.
Th® measure was introduced at the
last meeting of council by tlw Board of
Municipal Research, at the in-tame of
the Chamber of Commerce. It does not
purport to detect any graft or crook
edness. but to probe into the present
methods of city business, with a view
of putting it on a more scientific and
economical basis. The work is tS be
done as it has been done in New York
an(l other cities. The experts will study
the present conditions and offer reme
dies to the city officials as sugges
tions.
It was on the motion of Aiderman
John E. McClelland the resolution was
tabled until the meeting of council on
Monday. Councilman Clarence Haverty,
chairman of the hoard of municipal re
search. is endeavoring to engineer the
resolution through. He has been pledg
ed support by Councilmen Aldine
Chambers. Claude C. Mason and other
leaders. But around the city hall are
i many vigorous protests against an in
vestigation of the departments by any
outside authority.
The new movement has also inherited
some of the factional feelings of for
mer similar projects. The Chamber of
Commeri f i- 'l the fight for commission
government, while the "city hall crowd"
led the opposition. But F. J. Paxon
chairman of the municipal research
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce. has declared that commission
government will not he considered. Hr
said that the Chamber of Commerce
desires co-operation with the city of
ficials to attain more science and econ
omy in municipal affairs.
It is expected that one of the things
the expert- will n"l* is the large num
ber of relatives of influential officials
'employed in the various departments.
An effort t" pass an ordinance against
the system caused i bitter fight last
year. Sinh an ordinance was finally
passed, but so amended as to give im
ipunily to all. It i- now freely talked
around the city hall that more rela
tives , f officials hold city jobs than
ever before. -c,..

WATSON
U. S. Authorities Charge Thatr
He Sent Improper Matter
Through Mails. /
F ’
MACON, GA.. May 3A—Thoma# B.
Watson will probably be arrested this
afternoon or tonight by a United States
deputy marshal on a warrant charging
him with sending improper matter
through the mail Alex. Akerman, dis
trict attorney for th* Southern district
of Georgia, said today that he has the
issuance of a warrant under consider
ation, and probably will swear it out
during th* day.
The warrant will be the result oj
publication in Latin, in the April num
ber of the Watson magazine, concern
ing what Mr. Watson terms "The Cath
olic Hierarchy." The district attorney
had these Latin excerpts translated by
Professor Edward T Holmes, of Mer
cer university, and in his opinion the
translation shows the matter to be un
usually obscene and vulgar.
The Latin is said by Mr. Watson to
be quotations from instructions given
Catholic priests regarding the confes
sional and the questions they shall ask
female penitents.
Mr. Akerman was advised early this
morning that Watson was just leaving
Atlanta and delayed sending a deputy
tn Thomson until Mr. Watson arrives
at his home.
If the McDuffie author and politi
cian Is arrested tonight, he will be
taken before United States commis
sioner in Augusta for a preliminary
hearing and for the fixing of bond. Dis
trict Attorney Akerman cited a nurrt
ber of United States court decisions to
show that it Is'as much a violation of
the statute to send through the mails
obscene matter written in Latin as that
written in English.
Mr. Akerman said that there was lit
tle doubt that he will issue the war
rant .
Watson in Battle
To Move Capitol
Thomas E Watson today annonnoeo
nis determination to throw himself
heart and soul, into the movement
started a year or so ago to move the
state capital to Macon.
From the parlor car "Dorothea," at
tached to Georgia train No. 2. upon
which the "red-headed person” left for
his home in Thomson this morning,
this parting shot was projected square
ly in the direction of Atlanta, which
Watson regards as the home-base of
his ancient and adroit enemies, “the
city politicians.”
That there was much method in
Watson's madness when yesterday aft
ernoon he withdrew his application for
the Chairmanship of the Georgia dele
gation to Baltimore, in favor of Editor
Charles R. Pendleton, of The Macon
Telegraph, is now apparent.
Watson has made up his mind to let
by-gones be by-gones, so far as difTer-
