Alderman Lines E Warren explod ’d a new bombshell in the bond ißSti-- schools scandal today when he de clared that $50,000 had been uselessly spent for the Ashby street school in the Fl'st ward. Th< report of the primlpal of that school shows that during the past real its av :age attendance was only SO pupils. while its rapacity is snore than, ion Wh'm the school was being consider ed W M Slatot superintendent of s advised 11 al lie Walk er street school would be large enough Io ac commodate all the pupils of that sec tion. In other par s of the city many schools are badly overcrowded. The Ashby street school was built over the protest of Superintendent Sla ton when there are not enough pupils In that section to use one-fourth of Its ■ ■apa< It' Education Board Blames City Council Indications today are that the .joint meeting of the board of education and the bond commission Monday ruprnlng. called to consider the had condition of the new schools, will be an Hwfiieniely lively session Members of Mfaeboard of education have declared that,all the schools are In a terrible conditfoh and that the city has been robbed in prac tically every one of them They re fuse. however, to take the responsibil ity, denouncing the bond commission as a cumbersome body placed over them in authority 'Tf council had trusted the board of education as it should have, each one of these schools would have been built from SIO,OOO to $15,000 less and they all would have been built well,'' said W. ft Daley, president of the board today. Mayor Winn and members of coun cil are thoroughly aroused over the gravity of the situation Before the meeting Monday Mayor Winn will have made a thorough Inspection of all fh< schools. He will demand that the con tractors and architects put these schools In satisfactory condition or tha* ouncll Immediately proceed to sue them for their bonds.

"Criticisms made public by the hoard of education about the broken plaster at Lee Street school are manifestly un just and unfair to our firm and to Don aldson A- Pearson, the contractors, in asmuch as we .should have been given a chance to repair and make good any faults that had appeared," said Edward F. Dougherty, architect of the> school building, today in speaking of the statements mart, by Colonel Walter Ft. Dairy. president of the board of edu cation "The only trouble at Lee Street school eanie from broken plaster and that resulted from the natural shrink age of timbers In the structure. Had we been quietly notified we would have sent a man out and had the plaster re paired in a day's time." City Attorney Says Atlanta Can Sue. City Attorney Mavs.m today ruled that the city could recover damages from both ar, hltects and contractors if the new school buildings were not sat isfactorily repaired Some of the of ficials doubted if the city could sue for the bonds of the architects and con tractors since the schools had been ac cepted.

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. A. & M. R. R.

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. W.ODODEfiLBY ■W DM 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. RAIN'S GOING TO SPEND WEEK-END IN ATLANTA Local showers that resemble the April va etc are headed toward Atlanta, ac cording to Forecaster Von Herrmann, of the government weather bureau, who says they got started in tins direction while he and his clerks were taking a lay off in honor of Federal Decoration dav Tonight and tomorrow morning should be clear and warm, and the -'o’W.'"- arc due to appear Saturday afternoon and probably remain over f r I llr We< k • 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. IKE GOMBERG.
