Idlt- threat, but lat?r told Storey’s* brother of th? con versa! ion Two children are left orphaned by the i double tragedy. Baby Lillian will find a home with Mrs. Emma Green, of (’al lege Park, her mother’s sister, while Inez Wheeler, the five-year-old daugh ter of Mrs. Storey by her first husband. Robert Wheelet, will probably find a home with Mrs Amanda Sadler, of Hampton street Mrs. Sadler had been a friend of ’he family for years, and several years ago Mis Storey made a peculiar reguest. “If anything *>ver happen? to me I want \ou to ;<dopt Inez." she said “I feel that she’ll need a home some day Will you promts’ me?” Mrs Sadler, who had lost seven chil dren by death, had learned to love Baby Inez, and gladly made the promise. Sh told a friend of the family today that she was ready to keep her word if th? relatives of the slain woman would She is well to do and could give the child a good home. Her Life Long Series of Trouble. Since the death of Robert Wheeler, and her subsequent marriage tn Ben Storey, two years ago. the life of the girl w’ho had been Maude Bowler, daughter of a good Atlanta family, had been a series of troubles. Not long after her husband’s death she m?i Storey, who seemed prosperous and amiable. But she soon learned that he was a hard drinker, given to quar reling in his cups; and one night the pojic? were summoned to her home to find her bruised and bleeding from her husband’s blows. He was arrested then, hut his wife took pity on him and consented to his release. Put In Telephone For Fear of Husband ■ They separated several I lines, but always the wife consented to her hus band’s return, for the sake of their baby, and In the hope that Storey might reform. Their last separation occurred several months ago, after an unusual exhibition of brutality by the, husband which resulted in his be ing placed under SI,OOO bonds to keep the peace and remain nway from the Hunter street home. But he came to the place several times after this and bls threats caused Mrs. Storey to have a telephone installed, solely in order that she might quickly notify the po lice in case of danger from her hus band. Its first connection with the po lice station was made by a boarder to sound the news of Mrs. Story’s mur der and beg that officers might be placed on the track of her slayer Hung About Scene Os Another Killing. Storey had borne a bad reputation for the past year. Once he was in volved in a case where stolen type metal was found melted in his junk shop, according to police officers, and several times lie was arrested for drunkenness. A short time ago he was placed on probation, and spent two weeks at the adult detention home He was at Decatur and Hilliard streets, the scene of the murder of “Demp" A. Smith, at 2 o’clock yesterday morning, and made himself so disagreeable to the ptdice that they warned him to leave the vicinity or be attested. The body of Storey is at Harty G. Poole’s undertaking establishment, and his funeral will lie looked after ■ by his brother. Dester Stores, and other relatives. The same undertaker has charge of the body of Mrs Storey, hut it was prepared for burial at the home and not removed to the embalming rooms. It is hardly likely that the slayer and his victim will be buried to gether. JUDGE PRICE GILBERT TO SEEK RE-ELECTION COLUMBUS. GA . .lune 3. Judge 8.

JUNE 3. 1912 i' '' I ~~ r ~ Lb-- Successful Way to Attempt Re suscitation Also To Be Ex plained by Prof. Weems. Two drownings in a week at Pied mont park lake have impressed the necessity of a public knowledge of res cues and first aid treatment upon At lantans. The Georgian has arranged to publish a series of Illustrated in structions to teach any reader the sim plest method of saving a drowning per. son and of resuscitation. The first pictures are printed today and will continue dally until "first aid" treatment has been described from the moment the rescue begins until the vic tim 1s restored to consciousness. The Instructions are furnished to Georgian readers by Professor T. R. Weems, gymnasium superintendent of the Georgia School of Technology and former superintendent of Atlanta's playgrounds. The photographs today show Profes sor Weems making rescues. They were posed for The Georgian at the park lake. Professor Weems adds these instruc tions to accompany the first series of pic tures: By PROFESSOR T. R. WEEMS All the rules for saving persons from drowning would be almost needless in locations where only small bodies of water are found if people would learn to swim early in life and take proper precautions when they go in water. There would be no accidents. But the public seems to have an opinion on this subject itself, and so long as there are public bathing places there probably will be some one who ventures a little too far out or is willing to take all kinds of chances in boats. Cool Head Essentiai. One of the most necessary things to save a person struggling in the water, and what is generally lacking, is a cool head. I nless the rescuer Is himself calm he will not know what to do or how to do it. Remain cool; do not get excited, and the work of restoring life to an unconscious person will not be so harii. Generali' a person near shore can be thrown a plank, oar or even larger object that will hold him above the water When this can be done quickly and before the sink ing person has lost consciousness it is the most sure way to prevent a more serious accident But when it Is necessary to enter the water to give assistance never hesitate a moment. Go in a boat, if possible, for It saves time, gives a means of supporting the sinking pet son with out serious danger to the rescuer and provides quicker relief. When a boat can not be had, rush into the water and approach the struggling person from behind. Never in front To do so would mean that he will throw his arms about you. which probably would result in the drowning of both. When the rescuer comes ftom be hind he can avoid all possibility of being grasped by the frantic swim mer. When within reach, grasp the sinking person under the chin with one arm. pulling him backwards. I letting his body float face up and you under him. with feet slightly to I one side. How to Break Fatal Hold. If he should manage to grasp you in his arms you must by all means bteak his hold and again approach from behind. There is only one successful way to tear loose from a drowning per i son. Double your legs up between your body and his until your feet are at his stomach, then put you' i entire strength in a vigorous push. He will find it impossible to hold against the force vou can exert You might bit him in one temple, rendering him unconscious, but that is entirely unnecessary and not to be advised except for ex treme cases when the drowning man is of the greater strength If it be knov.n before hand that the victim is stronger it is best to wait until bls strangth is ivarly .v i nusted, but never do this if the CHADS HEIGNS IN OROZCO’S W Soldiers of Rebel Chief About to Mutiny, and His Family Forsakes Chihuahua. EL PASO. TEXAS. June 3.—Mrs. , Pascual Orozco and children, family of the general-ln-chief of the Chihuahua rebels, reached Juarez early today from , the rebel capital at Chihuahua City. Apparently the rebel commpnder is ■ afraid to even permit his own family to remain longer at Chihuahua, w here not I only is the city threatened by the ftd erals from all sides, but the rebels themselves are on the-point of mutiny. ■ The condition is more serious than it ever has been, according to foreigners arriving from there, and much property is being looted, although Americans ’ and Britishers have been spared so far. The rebels are without ammunition to withstand the attack of the federals anti it looks like the beginning of the end of the organized rebal army and the dissipation of the rebels into small guerrilla bands All foreigners who can get away from Chihuahua are doing so: Two hundred thousand pesos were mulcted from Mexican residents nf Chi huahua by the rebels yesterday, ac cording t" dispatches received here to day.

For twenty years Si nator William Alden Smith, chairman of the committee that inves tigated the loss of the Titanic, lias made a collection of clippings on subjects of the widest variety . For nineteen years Im has kept a poem, one stanza of which he now looks upon as prophetic, and he thinks the coincidence doubly .strange since he was the man named to lay bare the secret of the disaster. The poem was written by A. T. Quiller-Couch in 1593. Its last stanza runs: Then she the stricken hull. The doomed, the beautiful, Proudly to Fate abased Her brow titanic. Praise now her multitude.

Declaring that he did not have the time to abolish fire traps which Chief W. B. Cummings says imperil the lives of 10.000 girls daily in Atlanta, Ed R. Hayes, city inspector of buildings, to day gave The Georgian a statement, dn which he placed the burden on the shoulders of Fire Chief W. B Cum mings. He declared that the matter was en tirely up to the fire chief, and accused Gummings of playing politics in trying to make the office of the building in spector prosecute the parties failing to comply with the ordinance so that he '(Hayes) would get the "cussing out” and the fire department would get the credit. Mr. Hayes declared that he and the chief were at loggerheads as to what buildings should be equipped with these automatic ceiling sprinklers. He as serted his belief that only manufactur ing plants were required to put in this extra equipment on all floors and that the mercantile establishments were compelled to have them only in the basements, while Chief Cummings wanted the sprinklers installed in all uptown buildings where he considered them necessary for proper protection of the imperilled workers. Law Proves Chief Right. This difference between the building inspet tor and fire chief was apparently settled when Mr. Hayes was asked for a copy of the law governing the installa tion of sprinklers. When he looked the ordinance up he found, to his surprise, that Chief Cummings was right in his opinion. The law follows: In such buildings as are used or oc cupied for mercantile and manufactur ing purposes there shall be provided in addition to said standpipe or standpipes an approved system of automatic sprin klers placed at the ceiling of each story below the first or grade floor and ex tending to the full depth and breadth of the building. Buildings of large area, which are occupied for mercantile or manufactur ing purposes. WHEN LOCATED \\ ITHIN A CONGESTED DISTRICT, FORMING, IN THE OPINION OF THE INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS OR CHIEF OF FIRE DEPARTMENT, a ' >N FLAGRATKIN BREEDER S, SHALL BE PROTECTED THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE BUILDING WITH AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS." When Mr. Hayes was asked today if he would prosecute parties violating that ordinance, he declared that he would not take the lead in such prose cutions. but added that he would back Chief Jennings up if the chief started. Too Busy, He Says. Mr. Hayes said: "In the first place, I haven't got the time to be looking after fire preven tion -that is up to the chief of the fire department. I am the building in spector and while the ordinance jointly connects my office with that work, it is directly in the fire chief’s line, and other duties of my office keep me too busy to give it much attention. "1 am afraid that the fire chief has | exaggerated the conditions somewhat. He wants those sprinklers installed in every building, and tlie ordinance doesn’t give him that power. The ordi nance applies only tn manufacturing plants “Chief Cummings wants my office to do all of the prosecuting of these par ties. so that I'll get the ‘cussing out' and he'll escape with the credit. Os course, if he goes ahead and prose cutes those who fail to comply with the law. my office would naturally co-op erate with him and back him up. but I don't want to be put in the attitude of doing the prosecuting. "I want to avoid tile sensational no toriety of compelling thesi property owners to install this equipment. That is in line with the. fire chiefs work, and he should shoulder it. "I do know of several buildings where these sprinklers should be installed." (Here the building inspector gave the names of several prominent property owners.) "But I'd rather let the fire chief make them comply w ith the law-, 1 do not wish to antagonize them." When the building inspector had look ed up the ordinance on the subject and found that he, as well as the fire chief, was clothed with authority to demand that these -piinkters be installed In "eonfisgratlon breeders." and that the ordinance covered all mercantile as well as manuf< taring houses that In his or tlie tire otpef » opinion needed this a; - par.itiis for thi protection of the lit mates, he admitted that It was part of 'hr anti of hl« office to look into these KICKERS’ COLUMN If you are unhappy, have a grouch or a grievance, here’s the place to tell about it. Transfer Time Limit Too Short. To the Editor: Please allow me space to make the following complaint against the Georgia Railway and Elec tric Company: I want to call attention to the time allowed on transfers, which is very meager. Now, for Instance, we will board a car at Copenhill at 6:15 a. m. Fare is paid and transfer given on re quest as per rules of the company; the time punched on the transfer will be found to be 6:20 a. m. or 6:25 a. m., and the patron transfers at Mitchell and Broad streets, car arriving there at about 6:25 or 6:30 a. m. As is generally the case, we miss the con nection and must waft on the next car, which may be running on a ten or twenty-minute schedule. Then the transfer Is no good, as you will be po litely informed, and It. is a case of dig down for another nickel. The trouble is due to not allowing enough time on transfers. It is true that there are people who form a hab it of attempting to use overdue trans fers while shopping, etc., hut this is not liable to occur to our working men and women during the early morning hours, and at least twenty minutes should be allowed on all transfers during the day. It is only a fair and just demand. As a matter of fact, the people of Atlanta should be enjoying the six tickets for 25 cents. Yours truly, STRAPHANGER. SHOP TALK The Cleveland-Manning Piano Com pany's new store. 80 North Pryor street, is finished, and is one of the most com plete and modern piano stores in the South. Every facility for the display and storage of the immense stock is provided, and the carloads of now pianos just received, In addition to the already large stock of the company, are attracting the attention of visitors. Speaking of the great success of the company, Mr. Manning said: “The business we enjoyed during the past year has been greater than we had anticipated, and now that we are in our new building, with every convenience and large stock of pianos, we expect to do even better this year. The outlook for us is as bright as we could ask.” The Georgia Home and Farm Com pany, specialists in home and farm propositions in Georgia, are now lo cated In their new quarters, 114 Can dler building.

When told of Mr. Hayes’ statement to the effect that it was up to the fire chief to prosecute the violators of the city building code. Chief Cummings re iterated his statement as published in Saturday’s Georgian that rich property owners must protect the lives of the helpless tollers, or they will be arrested and vigorously prosecuted. "Wherever the law clothes me with authority to compel the owners of these ■conflagration breeders' to install equip ment for the safety of those working in them I am going tn do it,” said tlie file chief today. "Tomorrow 1 am going to take my inspector with me and hold a confer ence with Mr. Hayes, the building in spector, and outline to him the plans that I intend to carry out. I believe that his office will co-operate with me. He has co-operated with me tn the past and I think that he will co-operate with the fire department now after I outline my plans to him. “I reiterate what I said Saturday, that fire conditions in Atlanta are deplor able __they invite death. Atlanta has played in luck in not witnessing before now some shocking fire tragedy, and I am going to see that these conditions are remedied wherever the law gives me that authority. To Insist Law Be Obeyed. "1 have no polities to play—l have no ax to grind, my duty, as well as the duty of other city officials, is outlined by the laws plainly. Where my duty calls on me to demand proper fire pro tection I am going to insist that the demand be obeyed regardless of who it may hit. and if the law is not complied with you can depend on me to prose cute where I have that authority. "We can enforce these laws much better with the co-operation of the building inspector and 1 expect that co operation and believe that I will get. it. Whether 1 get it or not. these 10.000 working women and girls must have this protection and they are going to get it in every case that I have author ity to demand it for tin tn. "We have already notified some of these property owners to provide ade quate safeguards against fire disasters -one of these has refused. When the tint' limit is out. if they have not com plied with our demands, you can cer tainly look for prosecutions to follow As soon as we make other inspections thi* nek we will notify others to .«al< • etiM'd their PIEDMONT PARK LAKE DEWS INVESTIGATED Aiderman John Candler Pro poses That Bathing Pond Be Drained and Abandoned. a Conditions which permit such trage dies as the two drownings in one week in Piedmont park lake were denounced today by city officials and citizens gen erally. An investigation was begun by May or Winn when he held a conference with J. O. Cochran, president of the park board, and Charles L. Chosewood, who has purchased the concession to rent boats qn the lake. He declared that all boating should be stopped at once if the lake could not be sufficiently safeguarded to prevent such tragedies as the drowning of Charles Campbell, the little boy of eleven years, Saturday, and of James Sims, a week ago. Wants Lake Drained. Aiderman John S. Candler, mayor pro tern, proposed that the lake be drained. "I have always opposed this lake in Piedmont park, because I do not be lieve a pond of standing water ran ba made healthy,” he said. "The drown ings of last week are an even more ap pealing argument that th» lake should not be maintained. These two make five drownings that have occurred in that lake in about a year. "But we have no means of telling how much typhoid fever was contract ed in that lake. And in addition to al! this, it costs the city about $20,000 a year to keep it filled with water. How ever. I think it is a matter for the park board and not council to handle.” A serious complaint against the su pervision of the lake is that one-half of it, the part where the drownlngs oc curred, Is not properly guarded with lifesavers. Three lifesavers are kept at the lake by the park department, but one of them has only one leg. There Is no telephone at the park and when reports of drownlngs are. circu lated mothers and fathers become fran. tic In their efforts to find out if their child was the victim. Members of the park board will make a thorough investigation of the causes of the tragedies and means of prevent ing them at the meeting of the board tomorrow afternoon. The members of the board are alarmed at two drown ings the first week the lake has been opened to the public, but some of them resent some of the criticisms. One-Legged Lifesaver Former Sailor. “Our one-legged lifhsaver is a former Jack Tar and an expert swimmer and diver,” said J. O. Cochran, president of the park board today. “We put a third lifesaver out there immediately after the first drowning. We expect to ar range with Mr. Chosewood, who has a contract for the boating privilege, to stop all boats from going Into the un guarded part of the lake. It is already against the rules for any swimmers to go there. “It is true that Judge Candler has been opposed to the lake at Piedmont park. It is also true that he has been opposed to park development. “He tried to cut down the appropria tion of Grant park and It was only after the women of the Third ward tramped through the snow to file protests that we were able to get our appropriation increased. He did not want to give Piedmont park but $6,000. He is the only finance committee chairman who has refused to appropriate money for music at Grant park. DEATHS AND FUNERALS Mrs. L. L. Abrams.
