• TOM HUDSONffi BETWEEN TWO MILLSTONES Both Watson and Smith Indif- , ferent, and Lacking Money, He Quit Governor’s Race. S The sudden and spectacular with- drawal of Thomas GT. Hudson from the gubernatorial race yesterday is the sole and absorbing topic of comment among Georgia politicians today. The absolute frankness and candor of Mr. Hudson's statement of withdrawal has amazed many old-timers, and not a few of them declare that not'hing like it is of record in Georgia political history. While some evade the use of Thomas E. Watson’s name entirely in their po litical discussions, while others handle the "red-headed person” gingerly and as if they were afraid the handling might burn their fingers, even as they 1 pray devoutly It will not. and while still others really regard and speak of Mr. Watson as a forceful and worthy leader in the militant Democracy of Georgia, it remained for Mr. Hudson to pay Watson the highest tribute he ever has received at anybody’s hands. Sought Watson’s Support. Mr. Hudson admits unqualifiedly that he sought Mr. Watson's support dili gently, because he assumed it to be completely necessary to Hudson's suc cess: that fie failed to get it. and that he withdraws because he realizes the litter futility of proceeding without it! Mr. Hudson believes that Mr. Wat son has held the whip hand in Georgia politics for a number of years, and he considers him the balance of power in the state, without doubt. Hudson's coming right out into the sunshine, into the middle of the big road, and admitting all of this, without quibble or hesitation, has astonished the politicians almost beyond the point of coherent comment and discussion. Some Inside History. It is known to Mr. Hudson's inti mates that he first began to doubt when he failed of Watson’s support. He called Upon Mr. Watson at the instigation of a man high in the con fidence of Senator Hoke Smith and who ustiully speaks by the card for Mr. Smith. Whether Mr. Smith had actual knowledge of Hudson's impending vis it to Watson. Hudson does not know, but. being advised to call on Watson by the certain man who did advise it, Hudson undoubtedly felt that his sup posed hackers knew what they were doing. And. as a visit to Mr. Watson and the seeking of his support seemed to Mr. Hudson the fit and proper things to do. he went to Thomson and talked Things over with the "red-headed one." This visit brought Hudson no com fort. Mr. Watson frankly told him that, he could not..-arid would not, support him if he was to be the candidate of Sen ator Smith, even If he had no other reason to be against him. • Mr. Hudson did not then feel at lib- ( erty to say that he was. not to have the cordial backing of Senator Smith and his faction, because he did believe that he would get it. He, therefore, left Mr. Watson, feeling that he would not get Watson's support. Hudson Awaited Developments. I Notwithstanding Mr. Watson's re- buff. Mr. Hudson did not immediately consider quitting the race for governor. He felt Mr. Watson had little against Hudson. He believed Watson was more against Hudson because Smith * was for him. In the T’nderwood fight Mr. Hudson was personally for the Alabama man. He did not make a fight on Wilson, but he did not hesitate tn let it be known that he would cast an Underwood vote. For this Underwood attitude, Mr. Hudson was taken severely to task by certain parties of rhe Smith faction. He stood pat. however, for he felt that the disapproval of the Smith faction in the Underwood matter might yet win him. if not Mr. Watson's support, at least his passive opposition. Hudson’s Hopes Fail. It was not long after the close of the I nderwood-Wilson fight before Hud son found that he was being ground to powder between two millstones—the opposition of Tom Watson on the one hand and the indifference and growing coldness of the Hoke Smith faction on the other. He called upon those friends in the Smith line-up who had. early in the game, promised him financial backing. What he got was nothing—worse than ' nothing. He was advised to "raise the wind" himself, as best he might—to mortgage his farm, and keep things going as long as he could, and see if anything turned up. t Then Hudson determined to throw up the sponge. He realized, with some bitterness, that his supposed friends had thrown him down, and that the friends he. had attempted to cultivate had repelled him. With no money and no Tom Watson, despair seized upon Tom Hudson, and he quit. A Pathetic Story, The toregoing is the loosely running story of the rise and fall of the Hudson campaign in Georgia. It does not make happy reading. Interwoven in the warp and woof of it is much of the pathetic and the depressing. The char.e that Hudson's primary mistake was deserting his former Ter rell (Brownl friends to flock with Ter rell's dearest foe; the investigation of the workings of the agricultural de partment when Hudson was commis sioner; the alleged improper use of the patronage of his office these things were minor incidents in bringing about thr retirement cf Hudson. Hudson quit because of the lack of mom# and the fear of Tom Watson opposition. That's all—but it wa.- enough.

GOMEZTOFRONT TO FIGHT REBELS Cuban President Recognizes Desperate Situation and Will Lead Own Troops in Field. HAVANA. June 7. —A condition of anarchy prevails in Oriente province, the government troops in the field are unable to cop<| with the rapidly increas ing rebel forces and President Gomez has decided io go to the front to lead his own army. « Even the president's closest friends admitted today that the government bad made a grave error in suspending the constitutional guarantees. kjpny negroes who had hitherto hesitated about joining the revolutionists fear that they will be executed on suspicion by the white troops and therefore have pledged their aid to General Estonez, declaring that they would rather die fighting than he shot down without a chance for lite. The struggle has developed into a race war that may shock the civilized world with its barbarities. The lower negroes are openly boasting that they will kill all the white men and make the white women their slaves. Through out the island the whites are forming committees of defense for the protec tion of their homes, but they are handi capped by lack of arms, while the ne groes seem to be plentifully supplied. Negroes All Armed. Every negro arrested Is found to be armed. Many whites in this city are panic-stricken. That any personal clash between a while and negro would be the signal for a race outbreak here is a fear openly expressed by the au thorities. The belief is growing that the land ing of American marines on t'uban soil is the forerunner of a third interven tion, and- President Gomez’s closest ad visers have warned him that unless he crushes the revolt at once his adminis tration will fall. It was for this reason that he decided to lead his troops. The failure of General Monteagudo io lake the offensive and whip the rein Is in Oriente province was today ex plained by the government to be due to the heavy rains and the difficult coun try in which the rebels are operating. EARLY INDIAN TRIBES PRACTICED HYPNOTISM < ARI.ISLE. PA.. June 7.—That hyp notism was practiced by the Indian on this continent long before the white man set foot upon it, is borne out in a statement made here by a Winnebago Indian, a membej of the medicine lodge of his tribe, and a student at the gov ernment school. The secret of the pow - er has been handed down from genera tion to generation. According to the Winnebago Indian here, the fathers of the medicine lodge frequently use hypnotism as a means of punishment for Indians who antagonize them. The power Is so great that once a man comes under toe hypnotic influ ence he can be controlled for life. How - ever, the subject .-an pievent being in fluenced if he fpllows secret directions, which only a few of the Winnebago-1 know. KISS AND MAKE UP TEN TIMES; NOW DIVORCED LOS ANGELES. UAL.. June 7.- Aft er kissing and making up ten times, John Johnston, a stationary engineer, petitioned for a divorce from Eleanor Johnston and it was granted by Judge Monroe on the ground of desertion. "We started afresh ten limes, but my wife felt that she couldn't live without her mother being with us, and I couldn’t live in the same house with her," Johnston testified. The couple lived in many different titles. Johnston left his wife In On tario. f’anada, but Judge Monroe gave him a decree when it was shown that I'is wife refused to come here with him.

They have to give their addresses as 'general de livery.' "Just how much of this flirtation goes on through the mails without the knowledge of parents or guardians is impossible to estimate, but postoffii’e officials know that it is large.' "However certain we are of it. w'e can do nothing to stop.it. A letter addressed to 'general delivery' must be held at that window and not delivered to the street address of the party, though that may be known to the clerks, and, of x'ourse, much of this sort of correspondence is carried on under an assumed name. "It’s simply one case where the bur den of correcting tile evil lies in the parents; there is apparently nothing that we can do to aid them." GERMAN CROWN PRINCE HAS PUBLISHED A BOOK BERLIN. June 7.—The Germin crown prince lias furnished an interest ing proof that he is following in his august father's footsteps as regards versatility of taste and achievement. He has written and published a book which bears the title, "Out of My Hunt ing Diary," with tlie extremely high sounding credit line. "By Frederick William, ('town Prince of the German Empire and Prussia." As a matter of courtly fact the book is the joint product of the crown prince and princess, for of the photographs which illustrate profusely the stories many were caught by the camera of th - n princess. The publication of the hunting diary brings out the fait that the crown prince has been devoted to the pen for a long time past, and it is understood that he will publish a volume of short stories if the present work proves a success.

The opening of the summer season the season of parks and meadows - has lured many Atlanta parties to the woods and streams about the city. Sometimes they travel on motor cycles. sometimes in the regulation pic nic carryall and sometimes in automo biles. In the cool of the evening it is possible most a'nyr day to see parties going out to East Lake, or to Silver Lake, nr to a number of other popular resorts. Moonlight picnics also are coining into their full share of popularity. At lanta's society is indulging its propen sity to swim together with Its picnic habits.

If all the newly • reated ensigns wed, twenty lonesome bridegrooms will bp aboard each bat tleship in the Atlantic fleet. Heretofore the law has required that a graduate cadet should serve two years at sea before receiving his com mission as ensign. A law now going into effect for the first time makes an ensign out of a midshipman the mo ment he receives his diploma. Knsigns are permitted to wed, and it is under stood in the navy department that practically every member of the class of 1912 has a bride immediately in view. FALLIERES ASSISTS CARTOONISTS WHO CARICATURED HIM PARIS, June 7.—The president of the republic, who is made the butt of jokers anil caricaturists to an extent unthink able in other countries, even the United States, has just done an exceedingly humorous and "Parisian" thing. An association of humorous artists has started a fund to support a home for superannuated comic cartoonists. The plight <*f a funny artist who fails upon evil days, after having made or tried to make the public laugh all his life, peculiarly is pathetic. It touched M. Fallieres, and he has sent a hand some donation to the fund. The point is that these very same humorists have been offensive persist ently toward the president.

SEARCH IN GSI DEL IG HTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS By JAMES B. NEVIN. Right after the state convention met and "tit, and hied, and died." it was urged in some quarters that it had per fot med a monstrously irregular service to the people when ft named certain prominent citizens presidential electors. One excited partisan of the Wilson persuasion—and. by the wav. those Wilson people do seem to be more than moderately bad losers —expressed a fear that these electors, having been chosen "from the known friends of Und< r wood," might in the event that some one other than Underwood is elected next November, i efuse to vote in the electoral college for the person named at Baltimore, and—well, one forgets all the grand, gloomy and peculiar things scheduled as likely to happen, in some folks' imagination, unless something could be done, pretty qu.ick, too. to straighten things out! A little calm thought and investiga tion discloses the fact, however, that the state convention, in naming elec tors. merely followed an ancient and unbroken custom In that matter. It has boon the invariable rule for the convention that names delegates to the national convention also to name electors. These electors always vote in the electoral college for the person win ning In the party naming them. Discussing this matter, The Macon Telegraph points out that there was an elector once upon a time who violated his instructions in this matter and voted in the electoral college for some candidate whose cause failed in the elector’s state. The Telegraph excuses the man upon the ground that he was crazy, and committed suicide shortly after putting over his remarkable and unheard of stunt. A whole lot of people have got hack to where they prefer reading of Ty Cobb’s doings, rather than of the late state convention. George Ade says his guberna torial boom is a joke. It is rather painful to note that George has reached the point where he consid ers it necessary to explain that his jokes are jokes. Congratulation o , good wishes, aril "many happy returns of the day” came in clusters and festoons to former Gov ernor and United States Senator Jo seph M. Terrell yesterday. Senator Terrell was 52 years old on Thursday, June 6. Senator Terrell's thousands of friends throughout Georgia will rejoice Io know that bis fifty-second birthday found him well along the road to re covery from the unfortunate and se rious Illness which came so* suddenly upon him in Washington about a year ago. It now looks as if the senator is to become eventually his former physi cal self. He was in a very happy frame r,f mind today and keenly relished yes terday’s numerous hearty messages of good will and friendship. Many bats are off and elevated at arm's length above many heads in Georgia today to Colonel Randolph Anderson, of Savannah. The gen eral opinion Is that any future Democratic president finding him self In need of a diplomat guaran teed to dip, will do well to consider Colonel Anderson for the job! How will Tom f-’elder get to Bal timore? Nobody knows but Mr. Polder—and he declines to say. Colonel Neyle Colquitt, of Savaminh, ' who served the, cause of Underwood so gallantly In the late state presidential primary, is rejoicing in the assuranct from Mr Underwood that congress wil 1 pass at its present session an appro priation of SIO,OOO for the erection of • monument to the memory of General- Screven and Stewart in Midway cemi - tery. Liberty county . This has been a pet pro ject wit J Colonel Colquitt for eight, years. Congress passed this appropriation two years or more ago, hut there was a flaw in the framing of the act, and it must be passed again. The contract al ready has been awarded and the monu ment will soon be up. Two counties in Georgia were named for these two Revolutionary heroes, and the Savannah man thinks it all wrong that their names have never yet been glorified in marble or bronze. Those people who are figuring the gubernatorial light without taking carefully Into consideration the name of the Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, are making a mighty big mistake. Mr. Hall says so himself—and ha should know. Without any campaign committee or manager, other than himself, with no publicity bureau or agents, Mr. Hall is getting in close touch with hundreds of voters throughout the state and ob taining from many of them cordial pledges of support. Already the Macon statesman has visited 31 counties, and he says he real ly has not started his actual fighting. Yesterday he addressed a large gather* ing in Vienna. Mr. Hall is actively advocating a "trackage house law,” in lieu of the present state-wide prohibition statute, and he says the suggestion is being en thusiastically received everywhere. "The Atlanta convention did not help the cause of Oscar Under wood." says Thomas E. Watson. And a lot of people will wonder If that does not make it just about unanimous. Uncle Andy Carnegie says he Is for Taft to succeed himself, if only Uncle Andy were a delegate, the president might appreciate his at titude immensely. . The presence in Atlanta of John T. Boifeuillet. of Macon, clerk of the house, reminds one that the summel session—and the last of the present general assembly -of the legislature is near at ha nd. In a little less than three weeks—on June 26. to be exact—the legislature meets. Already Clerk Boifeuillet is busying himself with preliminary ar rangements, furiously enough, the first bill on the calendar is the famous Tippins bill. It seeks to close every near-beer saloon in the state anil It does not seem likely that the legislature will be able t<j side-step a vote upon it. It is a pestiferous measure, to many members, and a lot of them wish it might be quietly smothered to death and consigned to the outer dagknest forevermore. Rut its friends s?iy nay— and the Tippins bill must be reckoned with, right oft the reel. WINDOW BOXES FILLED. ATLANTA FLORAL CO., Call Main 1130.

Tonn A55/ISSIN SHOOTS AT PREMIER OF AUSLRIA Deputy, Excluded From Cham ber, Fires Thrice at Tissea, Then Kills Himself. VIENNA. June 7.—An attempt was made to assassinate Premier Tissea in the chamber of deputies today, but failed. The would-be assassin was Deputy Kovacs, who had been excluded from the chamber because of the part he had taken in political riots. After firing three shots at Premier Tissea from the press gallery, Kovacs turned his weapon upon himself and commit ted suicide, Kovacs had been forbidden to enter the chamber. In some manner he man aged to get by the guards today and secreted himself in the press gallery at the opening of the session. Wfian f'ount Tissea appeared upon the spetfitv. er’s dais Kovacs drew a. revolver his pocket and fired three shots. AH' went wild. The chamber was thrown into an uproar. Journalists Seize Assassin. Members leaped to the tops of their desks, attempting to ascertain where the shots had come from. Others, fear ing a general fusillade, dropped beneath their seats. Journalists in the press gallery leaped upon Kovacs, hut before they could seize the weapon from the excluded deputy, he had fired a shot into his body. Death followed tn a few minutes. Count Tissea had been the storm cen ter of political strife. It was he who was largely instrumental in holding up the universal suffrage measure re cently which led to the declaration of martial law in the capital. He was also responsible for the recent passage of the army reform bill through the second and third readings. Several previous attempts had been made upon the life of the statesman. Last December he was attacked by a ' mob In the streets and missiles were hurled at him, but he escaped. BROTHER OF CLAY, SLAYER, IS HELD IN SAME JAIL AS THIEF While Robert L. Clay occupies the solitary cell of a maniac in the Tower awaiting trial for the slaying of his wife a few weeks ago, John W. Clay, his brother, restlessly paces to and fro in another ceil but a few feet away \ facing trial for robbery. John Clay became a companion in trouble with his brother when Recorder Pro Tern Preston bound him over yes terday afternoon in bond of S2OO on the charge of robbing J. J. Temples, 550 Crew street, while the latter was un conscious with vertigo. John Clay presents an entirely dif ferent picture from that of the wife slayer. While Robert Clay lies silently on his bunk throughout the day, glar ing wildly at the wails of his cell, John Clay piteously pleads that he is an in nocent man and begs that something be done to get him out of jail. "This is awful,” he moaned, "to think of us two brothers being prisoners hero in jail at the same time—Robert crazy and the slayer of his wife, and me accused as a thief.” SEVEN YEARS OF MISERY How Mrs. Bethune was Re stored to Health by Lydia E.
