DR.HENHY DENIED
SUICIDE'S GEMS
Hospital Head Declares Claim
ant Must Prove He Was
Dead Woman's Husband.
Dr. G. A Henry must prove to Dr.
AV. B. Summerall, superintendent of
Grady hospital, that he was the hus
band of the woman who committed
suicide last Sunday before he can ob
tain valuable gems left by her. The
woman was reported to have left her
husband sixteen years ago for Henry.
Accompanied by “Mrs. Henry's"
daughter, Mrs. R. C. Stripling, of
Shreveport, La., and a young woman
friend. Dr. Henry called at the hospital
yesterday and created such a scene in
the private office of Dr. Summerall
that he was threatened with arrest and
ordered from the hospital. It was the
second time since Tuesday morning
that Dr. Henry had called at the hos
pital, demanding the jewels, and had
been refused.
Orders Henry To Stay Away.
The two women left the hospital with
Dr, Henry, but as they passed out of
the door of the private office. Mrs.
Stripling started back to resume the
conference with the superintendent. Dr
Henry, however, caught her by the arm.
pulled her back, and refused to permit
her to say anything further.
Dr. Summerall informed the women
he would be glad to discuss the matter
with them, hut directed Dr. Henry to
stay away from the hospital.
The jewels are two diamond rings, a
diamond locket, and a bracelet, worn
by the woman when she swallowed the
fatal dose of carbolic' acid. She also
had $9 in money, which is held by Dr.
Summerall.
Dr. Summerall informed Dr. Henry
on his first visit that the diamonds
would not be turned over to him. ow
ing to the testimony given before the
coroner’s jury by Mrs. Cynthia Maters,
proprietor of the Auburn avenue board
ing house where “Mrs. Henry” had a
room and where she drank ihe car
bolic acid. Mrs. Waters said Mrs.
Henry confided to her shortly before
swallowing the poison that site had
lived witn Dr. Henry sixteen years, but
had never married him. She explained
that her husband, whose name she did
hot give, still is alive and that she
had never been divorced, which pre
vented her from marrying Dr. Henry.
To Obey Only Court Order.
“There may be other heirs who may
be entitled to this jewelry.” said Dr.
Summerall to Dr. Henry.. 'lf you prove
that you were really tht woman's hus
band, then I'll be glad to turn ft over to
you Otherwise 11l give it to you only
on an order from the court.”
Asked by Dr. Summerall where her
mother obtained the jewelry. Mrs.
Stripling said it was given her by her
father.
'Do you mean your real father, or
this man here?" asked Dr. Summerall,
pointing to Dr. Henry.
The young woman hesitated, and Dr.
Henry quickly spoke up.
“Why, me, of course.” he said.

If you are unhappy,
I have a grouch or a
grievance, here’s the
place to tell about it.
Editor Georgian: I notice in Tiie
Evening Georgian that Thomas Wat
son is very much in favor of moving
the capital to Macon. Pleas® see that
his wish is gratified one time, then rent
the eapitol building to the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company for a
car barn. Then we will have as many
visitors as ever from south Georgia to
see the largest and finest ear barn in
the world. Very truly yours,
H. L. HOLLAND.
Atlanta, Ga.
Is There An Accurate
Clock in Atlanta?
To the Editor: To begin with. I have
no watch. There are in existence sev
eral good reasons why I haven't a
watch, but as that has nothing to do
with the story. I won't give any of
them.
But I speak for the vast army of fife
watchless when I say that the public
clocks of Atlanta should be better reg
ulated. Yesterday, for instance. I was
at the Aragon hotel and had an ap
pointment in half an hour at Brown A-
Allen's corner. I started down the
street and began to look for a clock.
The first one 1 saw was near Auburn
avenue. It had no hands at all. The
next one farther down said quarter aft
er 4 and its companion a few feet on
gave the time as high noon.
I ask you. In the name of reason and
sanity, to have something done about
this. I don't see how you can expect
a man to meet his girl if this condition
is allowed to continue. Respectfully.
ZEBULON ZINN
If only for the sake of the girl who
might be deprived of the company of
so pleasant a correspondent, this condi
tion should certainly be remedied.
Once More Abusing
The Poor Autoist.
To the Editor: Some of us like music
and some of us like pie. None of us.
that I can recall, dislike sleep.
There's a fellow in this city who has
an automobile horn that sounds like a
pipe organ. Ordinarily, it falls upon
the ear quite pleasantly, but aft»r 12
o’clock it's about as melodious and at
tractive as a boiler factory. , Every
night—morning I should say—this man
parades out Peachtree crooning away
with all his might. Result—l get to
sleep about 2 o'clock. Stop him; won't
you? A WOODBEE SLEEPER.
Thus is the taste for the esthetic and
beautiful discouraged and the poor au
tbist once more abused. Os what ac
count is the comfort of a man in bed
beside that of a downtrodden autoist
Seeking a little relaxation?

BRITISH SCIENTISTS TRY
TO BREED RED-EGG HENS
LONDON. May 31.—The imaginative
I experimenters who control the Cam
! bridge School of Agriculture are now
j engaged in an interesting effort to
l make hens lay red eggs. There is al
| ways the best market for hen eggs
| which are the richest red brown color.
Several varieties will not follow sash-
I ion. with the result that the eggs of
| Leghorns and Cochins have quite dif
ferent market value.
The Cambridge “Mendelians" hope to
be able to produce at will a brown egg
laying hen of prolific habit, just as
they produced a strong rust-resisting
wheat of high yield by working on the
Mendelian law.

UNDERWOOD HAS
■(HOBSON
Merrimac Hero Cheered as He
Urges Big Navy in Debate
With Governor Hanly.
“Willing tn talk politics? Well, why
not?" asked Richmond P. Hobson, in
reply to a reporter's question. My be
ing on a lecture tour doesn't keep me
from having opinions and being willing
to express them.
"I'm an Underwood man. you know.
Yes, I think he has a working chance
to win. The tariff is the main issue—
the only really’ great issue—no matter
how much the Republicans may try to
avoid It. Roosevelt nor Taft knows
anything about the tariff. When they
try to speak on that subject they talk
nonsense. Underwood knows the sub
ject thoroughly. Roosevelt is trying to
make th® issue 'honest men vs. crooks,’
the latter being all those opposed to the
colonel.
"1 believe Taft may yet win the nom
ination, though one must admit that
Roosevelt has shown remarkable
strength. Taft would be the easier for
the Democrats to defeat."
His Smile Not "Bloodthirsty."
“I suppose you and Governor Hanly
have all. your points of debate neatly
framed up to give each other opportu
nity for brilliant rejoinder and thus add
to the eloquence of both sides." sug
gested the reporter.
The oft-kissed hero of the Merrimac
smiled. He has a peculiarly attractive
smile, and one which does not fit his
reputation for bloodthirstiness. It is
hard to believe a man with a smile like
that should be the Oliver Twist of con
gress, always shouting for "more bat
tleships."
Hanly Calls T. R. a Bungler.
"Do you know. I never met Governor
Hanly’ until last night, when we dined
together," he said. "I had heard that
he had a beautiful address on "Peace,"
and our debate was arranged by the
lecture bureau. Governor Hanly Is a
fine gentleman, and I am sure that we
shall continue to debate amicably, even
if vigorously."
The joint appearance of the advocate
of a bigger navy and the apostle of
world peace drew a fair audience to the
Auditorium last night. Governor Han
ly created a stir when he declared that
"Roosevelt the bungler" would have
plunged the country into war had he
faced the Mexican crisis which Presi
dent Taft has handled. He made a
powerful plea for universal disarma
ment of the nations.
Capt. Hobson's vigorous demand for a
navy which would make America the
mistress of the seas appeared to appeal
to the martial spirit of the audience,
which was composed largely of the
members of the Fifth regiment, and h<
was cheered again and again.
