"Criticisms made public by the hoard

"The only trouble at Lee Street

INFANTS HURLED
INTO BONFIRES
Men and Women Are Bound to
Stakes With Barbed Wire
and Roasted Alive.
MEXICO CITY, May 31.-Stories of
Inconceivable brutalities practiced by
the Zapatist insurrectos in the state
of Morelos, which include the burning
of men ami women at the stake and
the hurling of babies into blazing bon
fii- s, wa re brought here today by a sur
vivor of the massacred of Tres Marias.
This town, situated 10 miles from
here, was sacked and burned by 2.000
rebels under Zapata because 200 fed
eral soldi.us hud resisted the brigand
horde.
Emiliano Zapata and his brother. Eu- I
fltnio Zapata, led the attack in person.
One hundred and eighty-eight of the
200 government soldiers were killed by
the rebels and their bodies burned.
Prisoners Tied With Barbed Wire.
After the battle the victorious rebels
marched into Tros Marlas, seized all
the men and women, binding their
hands with barbed wire.
After a counsel of the bandit chiefs,
some of tlie younger women were lib
erated and compelled to follow lite
rebel hand. The others were lined up
and great bonfires were lighted. Bodies j
of the dead federal soldiers were piled
up on the faggots and the torch applied.
Other soldiers were put to work tear.
Ing down the frame buildings of the
town. Great bonfires were built and a
detachment of soldiers seized and
bound townsfolks and put their bodies
into the embers. Shrieks of women
mingled with the groans and curses of
the men.
Children Thrown Into Flames.
But the most hideous scenes were to
come. The hardened ruffians seized
little children and threw their bodies
into the blaze. The cruel tortures
reached the supremacy of their bar
barities when they hurled helpless in
fants Into the flames before their par
ents' eyes.
But one child, a boy of three years,
who had hidden himself In the brush,
escaped Ihe massacre. He was brought
to this city, where he is now being
cared for.
All the frame buildings of the town
were burned and the sole stone struc
ture was dynamited.
0.5. TO ACCEPT
WON'S OEFI
JIAt'ON, GA.. May 31.—A warrant,
charging Thomas E. Watson with im
proper use of the mails, will be issued
upon the arrival tonight of Postoffice
inspector Simms, who is on his way
here from South Carolina.
District Attorney Akerman said to
day tlte only reason the matter has
been delayed thus far is becattse of the
non-arrival of the necessary officer to
make its issuing legal. He declared
positively that the warrant will be is
sued.
United States Marshal George White
will be sent Immediately to Thomson
to serve Watson. It Is presumed that
Watson will have bail arranged in ad
vance of White's coming, and that it
will not Ito necessary to carry him to
Augusta and jail him. ■ ■
Mr. Akerman was shown a Georgian
of yesterday afternoon in which Wat
won hurled defiance at the Federal gov
ernment and said the warrant might
never issue. Mr Akerman laughed,
and said:
"Well, here is the warrant; it only
awaits tlie signature of tlte proper of
ficial."
Some of Watson's partisans are say
ing that this is but a move to embar
rass him in the national convention in
Baltimore, to which he lias been named
as delegate But the district attorney
says there is no truth in that charge,
so far as he knows. The prosecution,
once undertaken, will be sincerely
imshed, regardless of all politics or per
sonalities.

5 Per Cent Increase
For AU Public School
Teachers Is Assured
Aiderman Candler Says Proviuion
For Raise Will Be Made
in June Budget.
Alderman John S. t'andlet, chairman
of the council finance committee, said
today that the June budget would in
clude a f> t>er cent raise in salaries for
public" school teachers. Aiderman < 'ati-
dier declared the committee would car
ry out its promise made, in January,
when a 5 per cent increase In salaries
was given and another 5 per cent
promised in September.
This increase will raise the minimum
salary now paid grammar school teach
ers from $57,75 to approximately $70.60.
and the maximum from $77.54 to $81.42
a month. There are 450 teachers who
will benefit by it, including tlte prin
cipals and the high school teachers.
The tentative June budget will be
reported to council Monday and re
ferred to the finance committee for
consideration. Beginning Wednesday
morning the committee will hear re
' quests for new appropriations. Al
ready requests for appropriations
amounting to $500,000 have been filed
with the committee.
SEEKSDECREE TO
KEEP MATE NO. 2
Mrs. Lucy Bloomer, the woman with
a husband and a near-husband who re
cently appeared In superior court, will
a second time seek freedom from Jacob
Bloomer, of Louisville, with the fixed
Intention of remarrying ano abiding
with Natlien Froelich, of Atlanta.
Mrs. Bloomer today filed a new suit
for total divorce from Jacob Bloomer
in Fulton superior court.
Two weeks ago the trio appeared be
fore Judge Bell and told the. jurist a
strange story. Bloomer, who started
the court action to set aside his wife's
decree granted here, held the center of
the stage.
He told the court that he had waited
in Louisville for a year for his w ife to
return and bad received from her many
honeyed letters assuring him of her
swift and loving return. Then lie found
she had obtained a divorce. This de
cree was held illegal.
Bloomer Expected Her To Return,
"Your honor," said Bloomer, “I ex
pected her back, and had prepared an
elaborate home-coming The date of
iter return was the anniversary of my
birthday."
Then Bloomer told the court of his
great disillusionment. His wife, while
keeping him content with written ca
resses, had gained a divorce decree in
Atlanta and was Lavishing her affec
tions on Nathan Froelich, whom she
had married here.
Judge Bell annulled the divorce de
cree, pronouncing Mrs. Bloomer really
the wife of Bloomer.
Despite tlte court's decision, the wom
an left the court room on the arm of
Froelich, while Bloomer sat among his
lawyers and started after her.
"1 never expect to go back to Mr
Bloomer," she said. "I do not love hint
He always mistreated me If I live witli
either, it will be with Mr. Froelich.
"Bloomer nex - er married me except by
common law, and he always refused to
introduce me as his wife. He called me
his housekeeper In public. 1 married
him to get a home —that was all."
Since tlte annulment of the divorce,
Mrs. Bloomer, so her attorneys assert,
has never communicated with the mar.
the court pronounced her husband. She
lias clung to Froelich.
Mrs. Bloomer says she was first mar
ried to John Thompson when but sev
enteen years of age. Thompson died
shortly after the wedding. Thrown up
on Iter own resources, she went to
Gainesville. Fla., and met Bloomer,
whom she wedded accenting to com
mon law.

WASHINGTON. May 3t.--The larg
est deal involving leasing of coal lands
from railroads by Judge Robert W.
Archbald which hast been described to
tlte house judiciary committee was re
cited today by George E. Kirkpatrick,
superintendent of the vast estate of
Stephen Girard, of Philadelphia. On
the valuable lands of this estate are
many coal mines in Pennsylvania.
According to Kirkpatrick, Judge
Archbald attempted to sublease from
the Lehigh Valley railroad a culm pile
valued at about SIBO,OOO, which was
controlled by the Girard estate. Kirk
patrick produced letters written by
himself and Judge Archbald, in which
the latter was quoted in this manner:
I can give you assurances that the
Lehigh Valley railroad will not oppose
this transaction."
Kirkpatrick explained that Judge
trchbald called on him personally and
urged him to release this culm dump.
Kirkpatrick refused because certain
leases for coal mines to the railroad
were at that time being prepared for
i enewai.

YLfIR IN JAIL FOR
801 GEM THIEVES
Kaul and Roddy Plead Guilty to|
Larceny and Are Given
Limit Penalty.
i
A year’s imprisonment each was the
penalty Judge Roan imposed upon
George Kaul and O. Roddy when
those two youths pleaded guilty today
to the $30,000 jewel robbery.
The judge imposed the limit sen
tence for the crime of simple larceny,
to which the two boys were permitted
to plead.
Kaul was sent to the chaingang for a
year, and Roddy was given six months
in jail and then six months in the
chainga ng.
George Wrenn, the third of the trio,
indicted directly for the robbery, was
not put on trial, as bls lawyer is ill
and could not appear for him, and he |
refused to plead guilty to the charge. |
He will be tried next Monday.
His mother, Mrs. Ida Wrenn, and his I
aunt, Mrs. Mary Morris, who were also!
Indicted In connection with tlie theft,
will not be tried until lite next term
of court. They are out on SSOO bond.
Mother Held To Make
Him Confess, Says Wrenn.
Wrenn declares that their indictment
and arrest were brought about by the
detectives engaged upon the ease solely
In order to force him to a confession.
He says that the two women, before
their release on bond, were confined
with him in the Jail, and that he was
given to understand that It was purely
his fault that they were in there, and
that they would be released if he cared
enough about their freedom to confess
himself. The detectives deny this state- j
nient as ridiculous, but Wrenn says he
will make it play a prominent part in
his fight at the trial next week.
When Kaul and Roddy entered tlte’
criminal branch of the superior court '
this morning, they were without law-|
yers, and had already agreed to plead '
guilty to the charge of larceny, which
carries with it the maximum penalty
of a year.
Kaul seemed on the verge of col
lapse. His health is completely bro-;
ken. and it is said the prosecuting offi- j
clals will arrange to have him made an |
assistant cook in the chaingang, in an ,
effort to prevent his death from too'
heavy work before his term shall end. i
Roddy, still younger than Kaul, won 1
some consideration on account of his i
extreme youth, and Judge Roan, in'
passing sentence upon him, told him
that he was sending him to jail for the
first six months of the year on account
of bls youth.
Begin at Once To
Serve Sentences.
The two lads took theii . sentences
quietly, being eviden'tly prepared for
the verdict of the judge, and tliey were
taken away immediately to begin serv
ing their terms. ... , . „
The robbery to whicli tl)e-y jileaded
guilty occurred upo| an exprefj,. dray
in front of the Graty btiilifi ng, ; dfi April
17, and It was $30,000 in gems in a
trunk that they were accused of steal
ing. The jewels belonged to the Cin
cinnati firm of S. & H. Gilsey, manu
facturing jewelers, and they were being
carried to the Terminal station from
the Piedmont iiotei by a negro driver of
the Atlanta Baggage and Cab Company.
Kaul, who had been employed in the
hotel, knew about this transfer, and the
police charged that lie and Roddx in
tercepted tlte baggage wagon in front
of the Grant building, on Forsyth street,
lured tlie negro into tlte building by a ’
ruse, and took the gems before lie |
returned to his charge again.
How Roddy was captured in Nev
Orleans. Kaul in New York and Wrenn
tn Birmingham is well remembered.
The police found some of the gems on
Roddy and his wife, more on Wrenn,
and a quantity in Kaul's home. Tlmx
succeeded in recovering all but $5.00u
worth of Jewels.

& NOT INSMIE,
EXPERTS BELIEVE
Wife Slayer Ignores Questions,
But Is Otherwise Normal,
Examiners Find.
Although the committee of alienists
has not made its final verdict as to the
sanity of Robert L. ("lay. the wife
■ slayer, it is understood that the exam-
I inations so far convince the experts
I that Clay is sane. The findings of the
i alienists will not be made public until
| (’lay is placed on trial before a spe
j cial lunacy jury in June.
The three experts appointed by Juxige
Roan, of the criminal court. Drs. J. B.
Baird, J. N. Ellis ami S. H. Green, vis
ited the Tower Thursday afternoon and
conducted a. lengthy ami exhaustive ex
amination. Further examinations will
be mmk before the time for the trial.
During the whole time Clay was un
der tlie probe of the alienists lie never
| spoke, maintaining his same demeanor
of silence that lias marked his entire
j incarceration. With mouth open, he
I stared wildly at the walls of his cell,
I refusing to pay the slightest attention
(to tlie experts or their questions. His
! pulse and temperature were found to be
normal, and he sleeps and eats well.
Jail officials are satisfied Clay is sham
ming insanity.
If the experts report the slayer sane
and he is found .sane by the special
jury, he then will be placed on trial
for murder. On this trial his counsel
will enter the plea that he was insane
at the time of the killing, arid this will
form hi s defense.
