OR.HENRYDENIEO SUICIDE'S GEMS Hospital Head Declares Claim ant Must Prove He Was Dead Woman’s Husband. Dr. G. A. Henry must prove to Dr. W. B. Summerall. superintendent of Grady hospital, that he was the hus band of the jroman 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 ’pltal. 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 Mhe would be glad to discuss the matter with them, but 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 Waters, proprietor of the Auburn avenue board fling house where "Mrs. Henry” had a room and where, she drank the car bolic acid. Mrs. Waters said Mrs. Henry confided to her shortly before swallowing the poison that she had lived witn Dr. Henry sixteen years, but had never married him. She explained that her husband, whose name she did not 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 i that you were really the woman s hus ~»ba.nd. then I’ll be glad to turn it over to you Otherwise I'll give it to you only on an order from the court." j 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.

Pryor St. 10 years in Atlanta KICKERS’ COLUMN If you are unhappy, have a grouch or a grievance, here’s the ; place to tell about it. Editor Georgian: I notice in The Evening Georgian that Thomas Wat son is very much in favor of moving the capital to Macon. Please 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 car 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 natch, 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 the 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 & 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 expert ' 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 he 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 after 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—-I 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 toist. 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- I bridge School of Agriculture are now engaged In an interesting effort to make hens lay red eggs.

M C CLURE’S M SAVE THE DIFFERENCE” 63 Whitehall St., Corner Hunter UNDERWOOD HftS GUK-UUDSON Merrimac Hero Cheered as He Urges Big Navy in Debate With Governor Hanly. “Willing to 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 the issue 'honest men vs. crooks,' the latter being all those opposed to the colonel. "I 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,” hr 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 tfie martial spirit of the audience, which was composed largely of the members of the Fifth regiment, and h< was cheered again and again.
