TOTS SAY A POLICEMAN PUT THEM IN CUPBOARD I , Sob Unheard for Three Hours In Suffocating Prison—Hour More Meant Death. When her three little sons, Julian, Lucian and Herbert, failed to come home for supper last night, Mrs. Lu cian Trowbridge, of 204 Cooper street, with her next door neighbor, started out to look for them, thinking they were playing with the neighborhood children. The two spent fifteen min utes without success. Then the police were called in. After a three hours search, in which they were aided by more than 300 men, women and children, the three little brothers were found locked in a china closet in a vacant house on Formwait street just around the corner from the Trowbridge home. While scouring the house in boyish fashion, the three had crawled into the cupboard and closed the doors behind them. They were released only in time ’ to prevent death by suffocation. Their clothes were drenched with perspira tion; their eyes sore with weeping, and their joints stiffened from the cramped j " position they had held for so long. For fifteen minutes after being removed they were unable to speaks Declare Policeman Locked Them Up. And the mother, finding her sons well and safe, fell into a swoon. She re mained in this condition for an hour. Today Herbert, aged three, and Lu cian and Julian, who are twins four years old. are just as happy as if noth ing had ever happened. They insist that a policeman locked them up. The fact that Julian, Herbert and Lucian were away from home the most of the afternoon did not worry Mrs. Trowbridge greatly. She was sure they «H'r -jf?. At supper.time she became r i' \ ■ xed. She had told them never to be tardy at supper time for their health's sjike. She waited a short while, and still no children. She got Mrs. Slaton next > door to aid her in the search, and the two wept to all the favorite haunts of the three youngster.-. They questioned every passerby. They looked in all the neighborhood stores. Lucian, Julian and Herbert were nowhere to be seen. Negro’s Clew Proves Vain Hope. Finally a negro gave them a clew. "I saw two little white-haired boys following an ice cream cart down Geor gia avenue, missis.” But it was later found that the two little white-haired boys were children of Mrs. Slaton. This hope being shat tered, Mrs. Trowbridge began to grow hysterical. She saw visions of three little limp bodies being dragged from a lake. She saw Lucian, the most daring of her sons, leading them over an embank ment. She saw them go wandering across a railroad yard and scream loudly when a huge switch engine ran them down. And they were such pretty Continued on Page Two. * THE SCORE CARD FOR TODAY’S BASEBALL GAME AT PONCEY PARK «' ' ' |ft«l 1 I 2 I 3 I 416 I 6 | 7 [ 8 I 9 1p 11 12 ÜBIR |miPQTT]T' ATLANTA. <X <X Bailey, If. ... -<X XX XX XX XX YX XX X/ XX -XX XX XX -l-jT-.l Y- I■ Y’ ■_} j..x X—X—-X—X--X—-X Sykes, lb. .... <X V XX[XXXYITTy ~Y IXIYI Y Callahan, cf. .

FALL RIVER, MASS.. June 6. Stephen A. Chase, treasurer of the Christian Science CJturch of America, died here today. • • ATLANTA. GA., THURSDAY. JUNE 6, 1912. HIGHSCHOOL PROFESSOR ACCUSED BY BOYS Declares He "Charged Them to Inscribe Their Names and Ask Probe. BOARD OF EDUCATION PLANS INVESTIGATION Drawing Abolished in Schools of Atlanta—Big Row Seems To Be Certain. • Charging that Professor J. H. Smith, head of the writing department of the Boys High school, charged each of the 75 members of the graduating class 50 cents for wriitng their names on the diplomas and that the general attitude of the faculty of the Boys High school has been apathetic, the senior das- of the Boys High school today succeeded in arousing the board of education to a determination to investigate the facul ty. Professor Smith writes a beautiful hand, and it is said that each of the names of the graduates is splendidly inscribed on the diplomas. But some of the members with a progressive po litical view point began to question the justice of the charge of 50 cents, which it is said netted the professor $32.50. The complaint reached the ears of members of the board and George N. Hope declared today that the board would thoroughly investigate. A further complaint is that about 30 of the students who failed to pass their examinations will have' to pay $lO each to members of the faculty for "coach ing” them during the summer in order that they may attain the desired pro motions. e Though the boys have made no for mal charges, their criticisms have been taken up by a number of the members of the board of education. Board Abolishes Drawing in Schools. The board of education split into two warring factions over the abolishment of drawing at the meeting yesterday afternoon, which prevented the com plaints of the high school students be ing taken up. By a vote of 8 to 3, drawing in the schools was abolished. This leaves Miss Elizabeth Gets, head of the drawing department and against whom the women teachers have complained, without a position. She instructs the grammar school teachers and they in turn instruct the pupils. CANCELING OF ORDER FOR TITANIC BOATS DENIED BY OFFICIAL LONDON, June 6. —When he resumed the stand today in the Board of Trade inquiry into the Titanic disaster Har old Sanderson, a director of the White Star line, denied-that his company had canceled an order for 40 lifeboats for the Titanic, substituting a lesser num ber in order to save space. Mr. Sanderson said that the num ber of lifeboats to be supplied the Ti tanic was referred to the directors be fore the liner sailed on her maiden voyage for New York, but no definite opinion has been expressed as to the exact number she could carry. To be on the safe side, however, the directors had ordered additional boats to be placed on the ship, he said.

FRIENDS CONFIDENT HE WILL CONTINUE WORK ' Ethridge to Quit Church, He Insists, Despite Conciliatory Statements. Sitting in the study of the Baptis.. Tabernacle, which a week ago he said he felt like never entering again. Rev. Dr. Robert S. MacArthur told a Geor gian reporter today that never tn all his ministry had anything cut him to the heart as has this schism in the At lanta church. "I will not tell you yet,” he said, “whether I have decided to remain or v to leave. This thing has w-ounded me to the heart. 1 have no explanation to make; no apologies to make, and no statement to make at this time.” Nevertheless. Dr. MacArthur's chief friend in the Tabernacle believes that he is going to accept the majority in vitation of the Tabernacle congrega tion, and will ultimately tear up the resignation It is believed he has had prepared for several days. "I believe both my statements to. The Georgian are coming true,” said Ml Hatcher. "I said that Dr. had been so deeply hurt by the oppo sition of certain members of his charge that no action the Tabernacle could take within itself would induce him to come back to us. But outside Baptists have interested themselves. Ministers of Atlanta, even outside the Baptist church, have joined in the plea that has been made to him since his return, and that inter-denominational movement, I believe, will be successful. “Church Has Passed Misunderstanding Cloud. ’ ’ "Then when I tell you that the united prayers of the congregation would not fail to solve the problem I think I was right again," continued Mr. Hatcher. “I firmly believe that if Dr. MacArthur remains In our pulpit that 30-hour pe riod of supplication to the Lord will have much to do with it. “And I will say further that the con gregation of this church has come from under the cloud of the misunderstand ing that hung over it for a time, and 1 think you will find that Harry E. Eth ridge and the others who have said they would leave the church will remain They won't give up the church they have worked and lived to make so splendid." But Mr. Ethridge wouldn’t exactly subscribe to that statement. Two days ago he told The Georgian that he would quit the Tabernacle with his family, whether Dr. MacArthur remained or not. Today he said: “1 am much better able to tell what 1 will do in this matter than is Mr. Hatcher, although I appreciate the sen timents behind his statement. I will make no further statement than I have already made to The Georgian myself. Continued on Page Two.
