He was accompanied as far as Gulf port. Miss., by his three children by his first marriage—Samuel, aged twelve. Dorothy, aged nine, and William, aged six. At Gulfport he left the children with their grandmother—the mother of his first wife, who died about three y ears ago. The second Mrs. Dean went to Knoxville.

After recovering sufficiently to con tinue his journey, Mr, Dean went on to (Oklahoma City, where he attended the convention sessions. He wrote to Mrs. Dean from the SMrvin hotel in that city, but that letter was a perfectly normal one and in it there was no ref erence to a return of the nervous at tack that he had -experienced in Gulf port. The next heard from Mr. Dean was the letters written at Kansas (Tty on May 27, in which he said he would not return for several months. In the on to his wife he said he was in a terribly nervous state and that he would possi bly go to the coast.

The Atlanta Georgian Read For Profit —GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use For Results Name or Portrait of General Lee Barred From Whisky Labels Alabama Will Not Allow Desecra tion of Memory of Confed erate Chieftain. MONTGOMERY, ALA., June 7.—lt would be desecration, almost approach ing a sacrilege, to permit the name or picture of Genera! Robert E. Lee on a j whisky label in Alabama. This is the I verdict of R. F. Kolb, commissioner of agriculture, who has issued a final ulti ' matum to S. J. Lang & Son, liquor ' manufacturers of St. Louis, that they I can not sell the Robert E. Lee brand of j whisky in this state. I At the instance of numerous Confed- I erate organizations of Alabama. Cotn- I missioner Kolb several months ago I prohibited the sale of this liquor, or at i least the use of the label. This week the manufacturers wrote Commissioner Kolb a letter, urging him to rescind his former order. The commissioner replied that he is a Confederate veteran and respects the name of General Lee too much to see it used on whisky labels. He told the manufacturers that if they cared to be , heard they would be permitted to do ■ so, but if would be useless, as he has j determined to prohibit the Robert E. ; Lee label as long as he is in office. ; COUNSELOR’S RULING BARS CITY OFFICIALS FROM JUNKET TRIPS City officials are downcast today, fol the powers that he have decreed that there shall be no more junketing trips.

CHICAGO, June 7.—Taft’s delegates in the First, Second and Fifth Alabama districts were seated by the national committee. The vote was on a roll call and was unanimous. The vote on the six delegates-at-large was on roll call. The Taft delegates from the Sixth Alabama district were seated. The Roosevelt contest was virtually aban doned. CHICAGO June 7.—The steam roller has made its first trip. Twelve con testing delegates, each with a half vote, favoring the nomination of Roose velt, were flattened out. Senator Wil liam E. Borah, of Idaho, was bumped out of the way. Six delegates-at-large from Alabama favoring William How ard Taft were seated. Borah got bumped when he made a motion to prevent "gag rule" tactics The Republican national committee, sitting in the first of the 226 delegate contests that are scheduled to come be fore it. used its Taft majority without mercy. Senator Borah filed a motion making it necessary to or.der a roll call on the demand of eight committeemen. The motion was laid on the table after the senator had been interrupted and his speech in defense of the proposed rule cut short. The Taft delegates were seated after the Roosevelt faction, through Attor ney Hundley, asserted that they were chosen after an explicit understand ing with President Taft regarding Fed eral patronage in Alabama had been reached. A letter written by President Taft to Alabama politicians was introduced by the Roosevelt contestants to prove their assertion, it was shortly after the let ter had been read and Hundley had charged that it evidently showed that the patronage agreement had been reached that the committee, by a viva voce vote decided to seat the Taft men Members ’ ‘ ‘ Cowardice. ’ ’ Members’ Cowardice.” Just to try out the steam roller, it was run over Senator William E. Bo rah of Idaho, Roosevelt supporter, at the very outset of the hearing. Borah moved that the committee order a roll call on the demand of eight members. The present rule provides tor a roll call on the request of twenty members. He was voted down. As Borah arose to address the meet ing there was silence. He made his motion and launched into an address in support of it. Then the throttle of the roller was opened. A committee man made a motion to lay the Borah motion on the table. The senator was interrupted while the new motion was made. He protested. Chairman Rose water used the gavel. The motion to table was seconded. Then it Was gaveled through. "I doh't want to be choked off." Bo rah cried, angrily. “I don’t want to be gagged here. I will say what 1 want to say. and I will say it now or 1 will stop the proceedings of this committee in such away that the world will know." "The gentleman's motion Is laid on the table," replied Rosewater. But Borah would not be silenced. "You will not proceed," he shouted. "1 want to talk, and 1 will talk. I know you have a steam roller. The world will know you have a steam roller and who operates it. I want the world to know that the men who do not know the moral courage to go on record here are not the representatives of the Re publican party." A. M. Sthevenson. holding a proxy, arose to a point of order and asked that the committee proceed with its busi ness. but Borah was permitted to speak. “Eyes of Nation On This Contest.” "If these rules are not changed,” he said, "it can be charged that men have been seated in this convention who have no right there. Ido not make this motion because I expect to get a change here -1 do not expect any different re sult -but we ought to proceed here so the world may know how each Indi vidual votes —we ought to do so as a matter of personal courage. "We are not dealing alone with dele gates. We ate being watched by some 90.000,000 people. If your vote is known the people will say you are at least honest in your convict!' ns. Is there any man here w ho is desirous of going on record as making a record which can not be revealed'.’ "Are you afraid to let th? people know how you voted?

Mr. Popham telephoned the mayor's secretary and assured him that the young woman is really his wife, secret ly married to him after an elopement from Louisville. He showed to the mayor’s secretary his marriage certifi cate. dated May 11, McDonough, Ga.. and the sympathetic mayor’s secretary assured the poet-lover that he’s all for him and will do hls utmost to get back the $11.41 .byway of giving the young couple a clear bill of respectability in Atlanta. Judge Preston Is Hard-Hearted. But Acting Judge Preston doesn't conform to that. He told Mr. Popbain that he had deliberately deceived the police in concealing his secret mar riage when arrested early yesterday, in spite of the fact that Popham showed his marriage certificate and has ex plained the misunderstanding, the judge declared he’ll never order the po lice to pay back that collateral bond.

He said today three of them are in a bad condition, but that there is little trouble with the Lee street school. The others are the English avenue, Walker street and Hill street schools. The Walker street school Is the worst. Much of the ceiling must be torn down and built over and the plastered walls also are in bad shape. Some of the concrete steps are crumbling. Open spaces about the windows permit the rain to beat through and there have been leaks in the roof. The plastering in all three of these buildings was stuck to the naked walls without any furring. This causes all the walls, which are only twelve inches thick, to leak through the plastering. The plastering is badlv discolored. To Hear Report First of Week. If this construction is remedied the plastering in all three of the schools will have to be torn down. But the contractors say the specifications did not call for furring. The school board and the bond com mission probably will meet the first of next week to hear Mr. Hayes' report. "We will not try to fix responsibil ity." said •'. J. Bowen, assistant build ing inspector, today. "We will simply submit a detailed report of tin defects in the buildings." Mr. Hayes said that none of the buildings w as; fire uroot Mrs. Maude Miller Estes Pop ham and her husband. Rev. Wil liam L. Popham. who won her by his “tender love epies.” MUTUAL BURIAL SEC. WEB FIDE charging that Wyatt A. Lewis, secre tary, has been using the receipts of the Atlanta Mutual Burial association, 413 Temple Court building, as personal assets, with utter disregard for death claims. J. T. Marlar today asked supe rior court for a receiver for the asso , elation and a strict accounting from Lewis. Marlar asserts that he was made ben eficiary for a policy held by R. M. Mar lar. who died on March 5. 1912. Lewis, acting as secretary of the burial asso ciation. regarded the claim as a joke and refused to pay the SIOO said to he i due. although B. M. Marlar had paid his assessments to the dot. The burial association Marlar pro nounces a fraud. He says the company got out attractive literature, repre senting 1,100 paying members, all of . whom had dug down for a 50-cent ini ■ tlatlon fee and paid twelve cents every • time, a member died. 1 Marlar maintains that Lewis is col ' lecting and has collected large sums of ‘ money from members and is approprl ' atlng the money to his own use, with , no Idea of settling claims. 1 CLEAR AND COOL WEATHER TOMORROW AND SUNDAY outdoor activities, which have almost been stopped by the Intermittent show . its and depressing humidity, may be > resumed, according to local weather ex. 1 ports of the United States government.

Atlanta, was Included. The Eleventh cavalry, at Fort Oglethorpe, near Chattanooga, la also ordered to get In marching or der. x The official order has not yet reached the post Just outside Atlanta, hut The Georgian received a telegram from Washington Just before noon announc ing the Issuance of the order. It wag telephoned to the post. Two minutes later an orderly ran down the steps of the headquarters building and into the officers’ club. He delivered a quiet message to one of ths captains. It spread quickly to ths others. "Hurrah!" "Good business!" shouted the officers. Their billiard game was forgotten; the political talk in the cor ner was suddenly abandoned. In a mo ment there wasn’t an officer left In the club. Down the Row they went, each to tel! the news to the family. Hurry and Bustle In Getting Ready. Bridge games from one end of Offi cers Row to the other were suddenly Interrupted as the news came in. Wives hurried to their own homes to help their husbands dig out the packed-up paraphernella of the field. There may have been a bit of sadness among the women, for Cuba isn’t the healthiest country in the world, and even an army man's wife doesn't enjoy seeing her husband march away for perhaps a year. But there were no tears in evi dence this afternoon; nothing but hur ry and bustle and excitement. But if the officers were glad. it. was nothing to the demonstration on the other side of the parade ground, where the men are barracked. News floats fast In an army post, and it wasn't a half hour until every man from the top sergeant down to the greenest rooky tn the reservation knew something was doing. "Let's hope 'tls Santiago for us." said Private Clancy, as he fumbled with his kit. “There's a little girl I know down there—but I'd clean forgot 'twas four years ago. and sure she's likely to have passed me up for some yellow Cuban. But there are others.” For most of the men of the Seven teenth, all the veterans of the regiment, know Cuba from a year’s stay in the Island It was nearly four years ago that the Seventeenth came home from Santiago, where it had done police duty for Uncle Sam in his effort* to make the Cubans be good. There are nearly 1,000 officers and men at the post; twelve companies of infantry, forming three battalions. They can not all leave the reservation, but it may be only a mere corporal’s guard left to guard the post and the women. A number of men are in the post hospital today, but the surgeon said he never saw such rapid recoveries as those which followed the first rumor of going into what may be real action. If the marching orders come, the reg iment will probably take train to Sa vanrtah, meet transports there and sail for Havana or some other <‘uban port at once. The Eleventh cavalry, which has also seen some service in Cuba, would pass through Atlanta and Join the Seventeenth at Savannah. Transports Ready To Carry Soldiers WASHINGTON. June 7.—Following an open threat of intervention in Cuba unless President Gomez deals summa rily with the revolution, the war de partment today placed in commission the transports Meade, McClellan. Sum ner and Kirkpatrick. At the same time it was announced telegrams were sent to the commanders of Forts Porter. Nia sra. Plattsburg Barracks and Governois Island, N. Y.. and Forts Oglethorpe and McPherson. In Georgia, to have their men armed, equipped with heavy marching appa ratus and ready to move immediately upon receipt of orders. This will ena -5 ble the United States to pour 5.000 I heavily armed Infantrymen into Cuba within two days. The transports, if ordered to Cuba, will sail from Norfolk. Ya,, and Sa vannah. Ga. ‘‘To Protect Americans," This action followed the transmission of the following note from Secretary of State Knox to the Cuban government: "1 have the honor to inform you that the president has decided to send four warships to the ports of Orlente and io disembark marines to protect property of Americans, but without attacking the rebels. The president hopes the Cuban government will quickly end the revolt; otherwise, the United States, in accordance with the treaty, will be obliged to push an active campaign to crush the
