TECH STUDENT IS LURED TO EIGHT ST MIDNIGHT R. Wardlaw, Expelled Pupil, Beats R. D. Conaches. Whom He Blamed for Dismissal. When he found that his mother knew he had been dropped from Georgia | Tech and had pleaded vainly with the l faculty to win him reinstatement, J. R. Wardlaw, of Chattanooga, decoyed the fellow student, who had "reported" him. to a elump of trees upon the college campus and beat him badly in a mid night fight. Douglas Conacher. of Augusta,, the man he assaulted, lies in the Tech dor mitory with such a badly swollen eye that he may not be able to report on time to the firm that is about to take him on at a big salary within a week after his graduation from the school. Wardlaw appeared at police head quarters this morning when he heard that Conacher had called upon the po lice to arrest him. that he had "whaled” Conacher and he add ed proudly that he had done it well. He said he had been "tattled on" by Co-' nacher for a trivial cause and that "hen he had challenged the other stu dent to come out and fight him like a man Conacher had refused. The police paroled Wardlaw until 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, when the case "ill bi brought before the recorder. Permanent Expulsion Likely. It is not improbable that a special meeting of the faculty .of Tech " ill be called within two days to make final the "temporary expulsion" which al ready stands against Wardlaw. Wcording to Conacher and other students, he was lured to the assault last night by a note to which the oust ed Wardlaw had signed the name, of the night watchman. For several weeks Wardlaw had sworn that he would have revenge upon Conacher for having him sus pended from the Tech for a year. The trouble had begun months ago when Conacher, as student-supervisor of the gymnasium, reprimanded the hot-headed youth from Chattanooga for some slightly boisterous conduct. The ill feeling grew when the faculty gave Wardlaw a second had mark for some other Infraction of the rules. Parents Learn of Expulsion. Rut the final break came two weeks ago, when Wardlaw appeared upon the floor of the gymnasium, against all rules, wearing hard-soled shoes. Co nacher says he told him to remove them. He says Wardlaw refused. Conacher reported him to the facul ty. and, having been caught breaking regulations three times, the faculty suspended Wardlaw for the year. It was the understanding that this was not a final expulsion, but that the young man might come back again next year. Acording to the students. Wardlaw •went home to his parents at Chatta ,nooga with the statement that he had finished his examinations and was through for the year. But apparently his father was suspicious, for he came here with the boy to investigate. While they were in Atlanta, young Wardlaw went out to the Tech and asked Cona cher to meet him in the street and have the feud out then and there. Conacher refused. He says he re fused because he had already been given a positibn with a big firm, and ’,ie knew that It would be bad policy to gradaute from the Tech with a tight hanging over his last days in college. He says that for the sake of this posi tion. which moans his start in the busi ness world, he evn went to the faculty and asked them to reconsider their de termination to "fire" Wardlaw. The faculty refused. A second time Wardlaw went to the Tech dormitory and demanded that Conacher come out and give him sat isfaction. and a second time Conacher refused. Lies in Wait For Victim. .Meanwhile, however, Wardlaws mother in Chattanooga was growing suspicious, too. She called the presi dent of the Tech over the long distance telephone two days ago and found out for the first time that her son had been suspended "for cause- Wardlaw heard of this, and knew that his mother knew of his "disgrace.” Last night he went out to the Tech grounds with a note he had written in the night watchman's name. It said that Conacher was wanted immediate ly at the nearest telephone, and both men knew that the nearest telephone is at the Tech Y. M. C. A., across the campus, byway of several clumps of trees. Wardlaw hid among these trees until Conacher. hurrying to the telephone, came past. Then he sprang out and struck his enemy full in the eye. Co nacher went down. He arose and tried to grapple with the other lad, but he fell again beneath a second blow. Wardlaw made his way back to (he Ci t x Other students took the dazed 1 'ona cher to a physician, who bandaged his wounds and put him to bed. w C. T. U.

For a time they gave hope of saving his sight, but now they have declared that blindness can not be averted. During hll this trying time the general has been tenderly cared for by his daughter, Commander Eva Booth. His Wonderful Triumph. While still "on the battlefield." as he puts it. General Booth is all but ready to relinquish the results of his many years of work to others. The work has been colossal, and the fate that Is over taking its designer and executive seems a singularly pathetic one to the men and women gathered beneath the Sal vation banner. Sadness is in their hearts, put they view the great afflic tion of their leader with the resignation that he himself displays. Forty years ago General Booth was unheard of. Thirty years ago he was regarded as a mountebank, a vulgar- Izer of religion, even as a nuisance. Today there is no man more honored or respected throughout the whole world. The Dowager Queen Mexandra of Eng land has personally assured him of the value she sets ufcon his work, the city of London has presented him with its "freedom." and wherever he has trav eled he has been received by monarchs and statesmen who are proud to shake his tremulous old hand. Field Marshal Viscount Wolseley has called General Booth "the greatest or ganizer in the world;" Robert Buchan an, the poet, has called him "the awak. ener of the sleeping conscience of the world,” and Cardinal Manning has de clared him to have “an abiding sense of the presence of God.” SOUTHERN RY.

DYOMITE TO AID BOSTON STRIKE Explosive Placed on Tracks Shatters Windows and Ter rifies Passengers. BOSTON. June 10.—Under heavy po lice guard, car service was resumed shortly after daylight today on the Bos ton elevated railroad. * Because of dis orders which had lasted al! day Sunday and culminated in the use of dynamite for the first time -in the strike, all service had been discontinued on most of the divisions eaJ-ly last evening. The eompany declared today, however, that with sufficient police on hand it would be able to care for its patrons. Police details were on duty at each car barn, and patrolmen rode on each car during the early hours. Explosions of cartridges or railroad cartridges under cars in different sec tions of the city were the most star tling features of the strike. In Alston an explosion was so severe that the glass in the car windows was shat tered and several passengers slightly cut. The car was able (o proceed. Passengers, in a panic, sprang to the street and refused, to again board the cars. Pulverized wax was sprinkled on the car tracks in Dorchester avenue, and an accident was narrowly averted. An inbound car attempted to stop on the slope, but the wheels were locked, brakes were of no service, and the qar slid for a bundled yards before the car came to a stop. The tracks were then sanded and scraped. The company lost thousands of dol lars as a result of extremely light Sun day traffic and through th? failure of green conductors to ring up fares. In another instance a turbulent crowd of passenger's pulled up fares till the register broke, and then shouterj invi tations to pedestrians to come on and have a free ride.

DR.OTHURAND ELOCK WILL LIFT $30,000 DEBT / Tabernacle to Build Girls Hotel and Infirmary When Obliga tion Is Cleared. Inspired by the amicable settlement of differences, the workers in the Bap tist Tabernacle church tonight will propose plans for raising the floating debt of $30,000, the erection of an enor mous dormitory for girls, and the es tablishment of a new infirmary on the unoccupied cornet lot which the Tab ernacle now owns. These plans will be proposed at the board of deacons meeting, and if car ried will mean that Dr. Robert Stuart MacArthur's pastorate "ill see the greatest amount of institutional work carried on in the history of the church. C, W. Hatcher, of the board of dea cons. received this morning a letter from a prominent business man who agreed to go in on a pro rata basis a<jd pay off the church debt. The letter \yill be read at the meeting. With this debt wiped out. the church wijl then be in a position to start a public subscrip tion campaign for the purpose of erect ing the dormitory and infirmary. Dr. MacArthur To Pledge Activity. It is proposed the dormitory, modern in every respect, be erected on the site of the present infirmary, and that the infirmary be torn down and rebuilt along up-to-date lines on the vacant lot which is owned by the Tabernacle. Rev. MacArthur will announce to night his intention to remain as acting pastor of the Tabernacle indefinitely. It was the doctor's alleged inexpe rience in institutional work that caused the split which nearly ended In his res ignation. and It Is said to be his inten tion now not only to continue the ac tive leadership of these various organ izations already established, but to es tablish several other features in this branch of his work. Dr. MacArthur intimated as much yesterday in his address to the congre gation in the course of his announce ment that he would continue In the pastorate. He added, however, that, owing to engagements he had made previous to his coming here, he would be absent from Atlanta from the latter part of this month to the middle of September. He Is to fill the pulpit of the Tremont church part of that time, and will assist in the dedication of a new church in New York, of which his son is to be pastor Large congregations heard the noted minister at both services yesterday, and found him in fine voice. He said definitely that he would return to At lanta in th? fall to give much more time to the institutional work of the Tabernacle. His only other reference to the late unpleasantness was in his conclusion, when he called upon his congregation to accept Christ and His Word, even though they did not accept him. SEARCHING PROBE OF BEEF TRUST, PLEDGE OF SENATOR H. SMITH By HOKE SMITH, United States Senator From Georgia. WASHINGTON, June 10. The coun try may anticipate b fair, just and searching probe of the beef trust at the hands of the house members on the judiciary committee. Tlje country may also rely upon the committee to adopt measures which will permanently end manipulation of prices and other wrongful acts by the trust. The beef trust has long enjoyed an uninterrupted tenure of prosperity in violation of both the spirit and letter of the Sherman anti-trust law. It has thrived at the expense of all classes. The burden, however, has fallen upon the great and worthy class of poor peo ple. This burden, if not cheeked, will eventually lead to a serious social dis content. That the beef trust is one of the most —if not the most —vicious of all com mercial combinations in this country there is little doubt. There is some thing truly ominous in the gradual rise in the prieS of meat.

HOW TO CARE FOR BABY IN HOT WEATHER IS TOLD BY STATE HEALTH BOARD The state board of health, in a state ment issued today, gives valuable hints to mothers on how to care for babies during the summer'months. The board's bulletin reads: It can not be questioned that hun dreds of infant lives would be saved annually if the mothers of Georgia un derstood more about "hat is necessary to do to prevent summer diseases of children, particularly infantile diar rhea, and would act accordingly. If babies are properly fed and the proper hygienic rules are carried out, very few of them will have any bowel trouble during the first or second sum mer, regardless of whether teeth are coming or not. Don’t Give Infants Solid Food. As a matter of faef. it is’not in the, second summer, but in the first sum mer, where the child has other food than breast milk, that the danger lies. Artificial feeding is. necessarily per haps, much more frequent now than formerly; but mothers should remem ber this: Always nurse your baby if possible, for good breast feeding is de cidedly the best food for infants up to the age of nine or ten months. Where babies are not gaining weight regularly they may need some other liquid food, but under no circumstances should solid food be given to babies under twelve to thirteen months old. Without teeth, it can not be chewed, and is bound to act as an intestinal irritant, nearly always causing trouble. The vast majority of cases of sum mer diarrhea are caused by improper feeding or overfeeding. The child may be given too much; the milk may be too strong for its age; it may be dirty and insanitary. Food should be given at regular and not too frequent inter vals; avoid giving solid food too soon; don’t give candy, sugar, cakes or like sweets. Symptoms of Teething. Many attribute all diarrheal trouble in summer to teething. This is a mis take. Symptoms of teething, and which are present only in the harder cases, are fever, restlessness, sleeplessness, often loss of appetite, thirst also caused by fever, and. locally, swollen tender gums. A child with these symptoms should be given less and not more food. The result of overfeeding in such cases is intestinal irritation then diarrhea. When a child's teeth begin to come it Up and Dottn Peachtree Polling Epidemic Peeves Bill Blevins. "I seen in the paper las' night that measles lias broke out and there’s more’n a little bit of cucumber colic, and some feller has took a straw vote on a train to see whether Joe. Hill Hall or Jack Slaton kin round up the mos' drummers in the cornin' primary. I disremembers which way the news butcher voted, but anyway hit don't matter none. But hit's funny how all these infantile diseases busts out along in June.” Mr. Blevins had a grouch. The bell hop in the Kimball had requested him to move his feet so an accumulation of cigar ashes and other souvenirs of the chair warmers' convention might be removed, and Bill dislikes extra exer tion. "That feller's done started somethin’ he can’t finish," continued Mr. Blevins, viciously. "F’um now on. clean through till the rabbit season opens, you can't read nothin' in the papers but straw votes. They’ll take ’em In smokin' cyars, in barber shops, at prayer meet in’ and funerals. I recolleck that fust race between Hoke Smith an' my frien’ Clark Howell.

Juno 17.—A poll taken by an impartial observer, Colonel Beverly Botts, at the death bed of Major J. A. Grimes, gave Howell 5, Smith 1. the Smith vote bein' east by the doctor, who, it Is alleged, voted against Bryan twice and is not believed to be registered anyway. Major Grimes was re vived by stimulants only long enough to say "Hurrah for How ell," when he expired. No blame attached to the physician. “Now, if the Georgia public has got to suffer another epidemic of the poll ing plague, rm a good mind to git me a jug of forty-rod and a fish pole and spen' the time 'twixt now and October down on Sandy creek. They tell me the fish is bitin' right peart this sea son, anyhow." Noticed the New Strap-Hangers’ Friend? Esthetic straphangers who long have complained of the unsightly leather holders in the street ears can cease their murmurlngs. Whether in compliance with the wishes of aforementioned E. S. H’s or not, the trolley company has had in stalled a series of nice, smooth wooden holders, varnished white. The straphanger can now place his trusting hand in the provided place without prejudice to health or happi ness. His comfort assured by the close ness of the fit, he can strike a pose, read a newspaper, “lamp" the pretty girls sneer at the conductor or do any number of other things which are restful to the mind. The only favor the trolley company asks in return for its beneficence is this: Those who intend to make use of the new holders should be sure to wear white gloves while riding the eats. If this simple request be not complied with, the whole purpose of the new hangers will be defeated. should be given less food and more water. Asa genera! rule, with the approach of hot weather, a baby on the breast should be nursed less often and given more water between; if on the bottle, pour out about one-fourth of the milk, replace with water and make feedings further apart, giving water between. The clothing should be light; give reg ular daily bath, and, if excessively hot, it is more comfortable to sponge with a little cool water two or three times a day. When a baby’ has a single loose or green movement, or an offensive one, It may be regarded as a danger signal. At this first sign the child’s food should be reduced decidedly at once. If symp toms are marked, all cow’s milk, or any preparation containing It, should be stopped immediately; a dose of oil should be given and bowels washed out with a solution of two level teaspoon fuls of salt to a qjiart of tepid water. This should be given with fountain syringe. Lots of Fresh Air Needed. Where vomiting occurs, give as much water as possible: ft will wash out re maining undigested food from the stomach. After this, for eight or ten hours, give only one or two teaspoon fuls of boiled water every ten or fifteen minutes, if wanted, A larger amount would be vomited. Give no food for at least six hours after vomiting has stopped; then barley water or rice wa ter may be given in gradually increas ing quantities, or broth, or white of an egg, and later, when the child is entire ly well, it may be worked back to its original food. No matter how high the ftever, tn pleasant summer weather a baby with bowel trouble always does better out doors than in a hot, stuffy room. Great care must be exercised in treating for fever. There are two principal kinds. With outer or sur face fever, where hands and feet are warm and skin hot, place cold appli cations to the head, hot water bottle to the feet and bathe in eool water In case of inward fever, where hands and feet and cold and skin cool and pale or mottled, place cold applications to the head, hot water bottle to the feet and bathe In hot mustard bath or wrap in towel wrung out of hot mustard water to bring the blood to the surface. CITYTAXREFOf PLAN OFCOUNGIL Urge Increase in Rate and Cut in Assessment to Provide Needed Revenue. An increase in Atlanta’s tax rate from 1.25 per cent to 2 per cent and a cut in the assessments from 60 per cent of the real value to 40 per cent was the reform urged today by a number of city officials. The. agitation was precipi tated by the proposal for a special school tax and will be formally con sidered at a meeting of the council committee on charter amendments dur ing the week. Officials declared that while the city’ will get a large increase in revenue the taxpayer will pay less in the aggregate than be now pays to the city, county’ and state. Fulton county now pays one seventh of the state’s taxes, and city officials declare this is too large. Effect of System Illustrated. How the new system would work was explained as follows: At present if a citizen has SI,OOO of taxable property he pays 1.25 per cent on a 60 per cent assesment to the city and 1.10 per cent on three-fourths of the city assessment to the county and state. The total is $12.45. of which the city gets $7.50 and $4.95 goes to the county and state. But if the assessment was 40 per cent and the city tax rate 2 per cent, he would pay $8 to the city and $3.30 to the county and state, a total of only $11.30. It is estimated that this change in the tax system would increase Atlan ta's revenue more than $300,000 and equalize the tax imposed by the state upon Atlanta. Council No Doubt Favors Plan. Councilman Aldine Chambers said this was the one practical tiling.for the city to do. The members of the com mittee on charter amendments .are also favorable to it. It is expected that council will urge that such a plan be passed by the legislature. It Is also proposed that instead of a special school tax a certain per cent of the two per cent shall be set aside for schools.
