While Robert L. Clay occupies the
solitary cell of a maniac In th* Tower
awaiting trial for the slaying of his
wife a few weeks ago, John W. Clay, I
his brother, restlessly paces to and fro
in another cel! but a few feet away
facing trial for robbery.
John Clay became a companion in

Pro Tern Preston bound him over yea- ■
terday afternoon in bond of J2OO on the
charge of robbing J. J. Temples, 550

conscious with vertigo.
John J.'lay presents an entirely dif

slayer. While Robert Clay lies silently
on his bunk throughout the day, glar

Clay piteously pleads that he Is an in

be done to get him out of jail.
"This is awful,” he moaned, "to think

JUDGE DEMANDED
I
Berger Tells Congress Seattle
Jurist, Hanford, Is Corrupt
and a Drunkard.
WASHINGTON, June 7.—The im
peachment of Federal Judge Cornelius
H. Hanford, of Seattle, Wash, on th*
grounds of "habitual drunkenness, cor
ruption and decisions flagrantly in vio
lation of law" formally was demanded
of the house today by Representative
Berger, the Socialist member from Wis
consin. Rising to a question of per
sonal privilege, the representative de
livered a scathing Indictment of the
jurist, reciting among his charges the
case wherein he revoked the natural
ization papers of Leonard Oleson be
cause he was a Socialist, and his in
junction in the alleged Interests of the
Seattle. B*nton and Southern railway.
The resolutions of impeachment are
in part as follows:
"Resolved, That the committee on ju
diciary be directed to inquire and re
port .whether the action of this house is
necessary concerning the official mis
conduct of Cornelius H Hanford;
whether he has been repeatedly in a
drunken condition while presiding in
court; whether he has been guilty of
corruption in the conduct of his of
fice, and whether his administration has
resulted in injury and wrong to liti
gants in his court and to others affected
by his derisions.”
Wickersham Sees “Gross Injustice.”
Among the specifications in the reso
lution of impeachment is the statement
■ that Oleson, w ho is a Socialist, was de
prived of his right to vote without
due process of lav.. In this connection
a letter was produced from Attorney
General Wickersham stating that, in
the opinion of the department of jus
tice, Oleson has suffered a "gross in
justice."
Berger added that Hanford's repu
tation for rendering corrupt decisions
"is a matter of long standing noto
riety." He declared that on one occa
sion 5,000 citizens held a mass meeting
to protest against* one of his decisions.
In the street ear Injunction. Berger
declared, public sentiment was so
aroused when Judge Hanford forbade
the railway carrying out its contract
regarding street improvements that he
shortly afterward dissolved the injunc
tion.
By r.n unanimous vote th* house or
dered Representative Berger's resolu
tion sent to the judiciary committee for
immediate action.
The drastic wording of the resolution
caused some criticism by Representa
tive McCall, of Massachusetts. This
was opposed by Minority Leader Mann,
Chairman Clayton, of the judiciary
committee, and others.

“Keep Off the Roof”
Warnings Common.
"Keep Off the Grass” has given way
in the business section of Atlanta to a
“Keep Off the Roof" sign, which is
nearly as common as the warnihgs
which used to be posted on various lit
tle grass plots downtown.
Hardly any place has been left in the
congested business section where a
warning against trampling on the grass
could be posted, but high on the flat,
roofs of numerous buildings warnings
that no lineman or other person must
trespass are posted conspicuously.
Property owners say that in many
cases their roofs are on the same level
with roofs of other buildings and that
w-hen telephone linemen are busy
stringing wire to one building they will
make cross-cuts over their roofs and
that hatchways and other openings to
the roof are left uncovered, allowing
rain to soak the upper floors.
Moral: Keep in With
The Head Waiter.
It’s tough to have a certain winner
picked at the track and not a cent in
your pocket; it's worse to have a next
morning thirst and never the price of a
tall one; but to .have coin in your
purse, a healthy appetite,, a table full
of guests at the biggest and fanciest
priced hotel in Georgia and then starve
for an hour Is the ultimate limit, ac
cording to a man who vjsfted Atlanta
In grand opera week.
It all happened because he got in bad
with the head waiter and his satellites.
This particular head waiter Is said to
be worth about a quarter of a million,
anyway, and naturally he Is chesty.
And this man had offended him.
Mr Man invited an opera star and
several friends to.dine. They found a
table in the main dining room. Mr.
Man was all smiles.
"Now, we’ll have everything on the
card from soup to nuts," he said. “Tj?e
waiters all know me. Watch them
hustle.”
They waited. They waited some
more. Then they waited a while long
er. Then Mr. Man called the captain
of the servitors.
"Why can't we be served?” he asked,
hungrily. The captain was very sorry.
He ran to a side table, grabbed a bunch
of menu cards and hurried toward the
hungry party.
Just then the head waiter emerged
from his studio. He clutched the cap
tain by the arm and whispered. The
captain went back to the kitchen.
Mr. Man caught an ordinary waiter.
This on* also hastened to pleas*. The
head waiter caught his eye and he dis
appeared. The same thing happened
to the next one, and the next. One
had served the ice water and taken an
extensive order before the grand mogul
gave him his instructions, but he never
came back.
Mr. Man drew out his watch. They
had waited an hour.
“Oh, let's go down to the grill room,"
he said. "I know a negro down there
who'll wait on us.”
And they all agreed that the grill was,
really the most fun, anyway.

ill FLIRTATION
Postmaster ♦ Would Like to
See General Delivery Closed
to Protect Girls.

“I would like to see the 'general-de
livery’ window closed in order to stop
the clandestine correspondences young
girls carry on-through it to their ulti
mate ruin,” said Postmaster H..L. Mc-
Kee, “but you can not close the win
dow. There are hundreds of people
who come into Atlanta every day and
who don’t know where they are going
to stay until they get here. They have
to give their'addresses as 'general de
liver}’.’ ■
"Just how much of this flirtation goes
on through the mails without the
knowledge of parents or guardians ’ is
impossible to estimate, but postoffice
officials know that it is large.
"However certain we are of it, we
can do nothing to stop it. A letter

den of correcting the evil lies in the
parents; there is apparently nothing
that we can do to aid them.”
