Rich Macon Business
Man Sued by Invalid
Bride: Abuse Charged
Mrs. Morris Hartz Says Life
With Husband Would Have
Meant Death.
MACON. GA., June 13.—The day fol
lowing her separation from her wealthy
young husband, Minnie Ottinger
Hartz, wife of Morris A. Hartz, a
prominent business man of Macon, has
instituted suit for divorce and ali
mony. She says her husband cursed
her abusively, threatened her life,
treated her so cruelly that her death
would ensue If she continued to live
with him, and on Monday ordered her
to leave his house forever.
The w-edding of Mr. and Mrs. Hartz
last January was a social event. She
is a sister of Mrs. Max Lazarus and
was prominent socially in Florida.
The bringing of the divorce proceed
ings was a great surprise and occa
sioned a mild sensation.
-Mrs. Hartz asserts that because she
has been an invalid, with physicians
.’.nd nurses in constant attendance for
the last three months, her husband has
held a grievance against her. Her ill
ness began only' two months after the
wedding.
The schedule of property owned by
the defendant shows his real estate
holdings in Macon are alone worth
$200,000. It is expected the suit will be
contested, especially Ute plea for ali
mony.
SUES HUSBAND WHO
DIDN’T WANT HER TO
RUN CHICKEN FARM
After supporting her husband and her
children for several months on money
received from the sale of chickens of
her ow n raising, Mrs. Clara Belle York
asserted today in a divorce suit filed
against H. G. York that her husband
abused her because she engaged in the
poultry business.
York, she says, was content to live
off the proceeds of her little farm, but
thought chicken raising a game for the
hoi poll'd.
He abused her about it, she says, and
then finally, when she merely suggest
ed that he furnish some coin for the
children's support, he flew into a rage
and left.

ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1912.
NERVIEST OF
MEN,” SAYS
DOCTOR OF
GRACE
X
His Stoicism Under the Knife
Astounds the Operating
Physicians.
Eugene Grace, shot March 5 In At
lanta and pronounced Incurably par
alyzed by prominent surgeons of At
lanta, has a chance for complete re
covery. After operating upon the
wounded man yesterday afternoon at
his home in Newnan, Ga., Dr. W. M.
Turner stated that here was a chance
of a complete return of sensation in
the lower limbs, which were cut from
the nerve centers by the bullet. His
spinal cord is not severed.
In this statement he is backed up by
Dr. T. S. Bailey, who has attended
Grace ever since he was carried from
Atlanta to Newnan, and Dr. John S.
Derr, of Atlanta.
Nerviest Man,
Says Physician.
Dr. Derr declared Grace was the
nerviest man he has seen in all his
experience.
Said Dr. Turner:
“The patient si doing well. He has
not yet reached the stage where accu
rate predictions can be made, but I am
convinced that he has a chance to re
cover his health and not be crippled in
any way."
For several days the operation had
been contemplated. The doctors kept
constant watch over their patient’s
physical condition and determined, aft
er noticing evidence of a returning sen
sation near the kee, that the probe
would be made. Grace himself was
eager for it.
Grace Urged
Doctors to Act.
For more than three months he had
lain upon his back unable to do more
than lift a glass of water to his mouth.
Often he had cried out against It and
urged his physician to do something.
When told that the operation would be
performed he seemed very glad.
At 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon he
was put under the anesthetic.
An entrance was made at the ninth
dorsal vertebra, in the course of the
operation it was discovered that the
spinal cord was severed, but thta the
paraly sis had resulted from an extreme
pressure. The bullet was also located,
but owing to its inaccessibility’ it was
not removed. The pressure was relieved
considerably, how ever.
The first thing Grace asked after re
turning to consciousness was: "Is it
coming out all right, doc?" He re
ceived very encouraging assurance.
Absolutely Fearless
As Operation Neared.
Before and after the operation he
was calm and collected, despite the
fact that hut a. small margin stood
between him and death.
"I never saw as cool a man,” said
Dr. Derr this morning. “He never once
lost his nerve. He never once looked
as if he was in the least frightened,
in all my medical experience I have
never seen a man go under the knife
with such splendid control over him
self and such absolute fearlessness."
This morning Grace was resting
easily and was unusually cheerful. To
ills stepfather, S. L. Hill, he confided
the belief that he would be riding about
in a buggy very soon.

TAFT’S STEAM ROLLER
INTO MISSISSIPPI, TOO
Second, Fourth, Sixth and Sev

cided for President.
CHICAGO, June 13.—With partisans
of President Taft and Theodore Roose
velt becoming more bitter hourly, tha
Republican national committee today
took as Its first work the Mississippi
contests, left unfinished yesterday. Aft
er a short hearing, the delegates in ths
Second, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh Mis
sissippi districts were given to Presi
dent Taft. Tills made the Taft total up
to that point 149.
That an effort will be made to switch
the Tennessee Taft delegates to the
Roosevelt band wagon was the word
that came from Memphis today. The
move was originated in western Ten
nessee. The delegates and alternates
are discussing a plan to disregard their
Taft Instructions and throw the solid
vote of the state into the Roosevelt
column. The Western Tennessee dele
gation. headed by Harry O. True, whose
seat as a Tenth district delegate is con
tested. will leave for Chicago Satur
day.
Effort Made to
Revoke Heney’s Proxy.
The committee met at 9:10 o’clock
and began hearing arguments on the
contests from the Second, Fourth,
Sixth and Seventh Mississippi districts,
which were consolidated, the evidence
being heard in all cases at the same
time. This left only the Eighth dis
trict to be heard separately. •
It was also decided to argue the
Fifth district contest separately. Dean
E. Hyman presented the Roosevelt con
testants’ case to the committee, being
assisted by Gorge Morrison, a colored
lawyer.
While debae over the Mississippi del
egates was proceeding. National Com
miteeman W. S. Sturgis moved that the
proxy of Francis J. Heyey, of San
Francisco, be revoked. Heney has been
sitting In the committee sessions, hold
ing tlie proxy of Sidney Bieber, of the
District of Columbia. His charges of
fraud against the committee have stir
red angry protests since he has taken
his place in these sessions. The motion
was laid on the table.
Contest More
Bitter Each Day.
/Vith the bitterness between the rival
Taft and Roosevelt factions augmented
by over-night charges of bribery and
corruption made on both sides, the
war for delegates was renewed today
with increased vigor. Never before
have the startled delegates from the
South, arriving on the scene of a na-
