WATSDN MUST 8E SQUARE MERCER Game Commissioner Tells of i the “Disgorging” of SIB.OOO I to the Boyd Heirs. Slate Game and Pish Commissionei Jesse Mercer, of Fitzgerald. who threatens to force Thomas E. Watson to right an alleged financial wrong done the widow of Watson's law part ner, Green, if he (Mercer) had to go to Thomson and “cowhide” Watson into doing it, has added another chap ter to Watson-Mercer story. Mercer says, merely for a fee, Mr. Watson sought and brought a “fake" law suit against the executors of the late Captain P. E. Boyd’s estate, one of whom Mr. Mercer was, and that aft er grabbing a big fee for himself. Wat son threw to the winds all pretense of necessity for his employment by the Boyd heirs, and undertook to appro priate practically aJI of It to himself thus wronging his law partner, Green, then on his death bed, and since wrong ing his widow, who has endeavored In vain to recover from Watson. Watson said Mercer was only mad at him because Watson had forced Executor Mercer to “disgorge $lB,- 000" to the Bayd heirs Watson repre sented. .Mercer has sent the following wire to The Georgian: I see what Tom Watson ‘says about disgorging SIB,OOO by execu tors of the Boyd estate. That is one of his sharp tricks. The amount should have been much more, and would have been but for Tom's eagerness for a fee. Watson settled for much less than the interest of his clients was worth, but he got the fee. and that's what he seemed to want. The amount "disgorged” by the executors was a smaller amount than we would have paid if there had been no Watson in the case, looking carefully to his fee. He must now treat the widow of his old la.w partner on the square, and not heap indignity on her be cause she is defenseless.

PMOONII FUN STARTS TUESDAY Thousands of Atlanta Young sters Eagerly Awaiting Sea son of Frolic in Parks. i Atlanta's playground directors met today and made final preparations to loose the spirit of frolic for thousands of children on the city playgrounds Tuesday. Dan Carey, general manager of parks, and Miss Mary Barnwell, supervisor of playgrounds, have Just returned from the American Playground association convention at Cleveland, tilled with all the new ideas of how to conduct these institutions. They promise that the opening of these little parks Tuesday will begin the greatest, playground sea son Atlanta has ever known. “The children will come to these parks by the thousands,” said Mr. Ca rey. “All that is necessary is to invite them, and they rush to the, playgrounds in hordes.

Miss Barnwell, who is to be in active charge of all the playgrounds, said undoubtedly a better quality of citi zenship Is developed from the boy who is loyal to his team, and after his time at bat goes gladly to the hot, dusty field to catch an occasional ‘fly than from the boj’ who loses interest as Soon as he has had his try at the bat. “That is Just the sort of spirit the playground teaches,” she said. “It is a recognized fact that the child who ha° had the richest play experience is best prepared for the complex life of citi zenship. "1 do not know why it is. but At lantans do not seem to have awakened to the real significance of this work. We are going to try to reveal its real importance. Parents Urged To Attend. “We open eleven playgrounds this summer. We want the city officials and parents to come out and see. how they are conducted. When they see the young women directors leading the children in games that develop team spirit, swiftness, fairness, the right at titude toward defeat and success, and, what is more obvious, health and vigor, through play in the open air and sun shine. playgrounds will have impressed themselves as among the great institu tions of the city. “And we will show them the chil dren just as jolly and care-free as though their play had no serious mean ing.” The hours at the playgrounds will be from 9 to 11:30 in the morning and from 3:30 to 6:30 in the evenings.

Wife of Aged Mil lionaire. Ejected From New York Court Room. NEW YORK. June 15. —Giggles—the kind that chase ail care away—nearly cost pretty Mrs. Effie Pope Hill Alsop, the erstwhile belle of Washington. Ga., who married a millionaire, 75 years old, her liberty. As it was, the judge w-ho couldn't sec any humor in the giggles compromised by ejecting Mrs. Alsop from the court room and the gay little bride is as free as ever today. Anyhow, it was all the fault of dash ing Mrs. Tom Pierce, who used to be famous as a horsewoman and was un der arrest for refusing to pay a board bill. Mrs. Pierce, weepy and indig nant before Magistrate Herbert, in the night court, struck petite Mrs. Alsop as being just too funny for tlie world. Nobody knew in the first place that Mrs. Alsop. who had just returned from a honeymoon with her husband and $20,000 worth of jewels, was in the court room. Giggles Annoy Court. But during the hearing Magistrate Herbert was greatly annoyed by the actions of a young woman among the specta’ors, who treated the whole affair as a huge joke. This woman was al most a replica of Mrs. Pierce in her dress, and Mrs. Pierce's predicament seemed to her extremely funny. She laughed loudly and constantly, and finally, after she had been warned once or twice. Magistrate Herbert ordered her ejected from the court room. Then It was learned that she was Mrs. Alsop, who, six weeks after her marriage in February last, retired to the sanitarium at Litchfield, Conn., which at the time was sheltering Mrs. Pierce. They 'had been friends before that time and were close chums during the two weeks that they were In the retreat together. They left the place at the same time and came back to New York together. Shortly afterward Mrs. Alsop went abroad. On her arrival from Europe yester day, Mrs. Alsop said: "I'm glad to get back, but I’ve had a wonder of a time, believe me.” Until February last Mrs. Alsop was pretty Effie Hill, the "Hello Girl" at the Knickerbocker. In spite of her aunt's objections, she eloped with the elderly millionaire. The "rings" she got on the Knickerbocker switchboard w’ere never so many as she wore on her fingers yesterday. $20,000 Rings on Hands. Deputy Collector John O’Connor al most lost his eyesight when he ap praised the gems on Mrs. Alsop's hands. “Twenty thousand dollars!” he gasped. Mrs. Alsop seems so proud of her rings that she carries- her gloves in the palms of her hands. Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who no ticed Mrs. Alsop on board, asserted that the bride was the prettiest little woman she had seen. "She is so de voted," added the poetess. "Spring and winter never mingled :r. Lank and. perfect harmony.” When Mrs. Wilcox's words were re peated to the former "Hello Girl" she smiled, blushed a little and answered: "Now, stop that talk. You can't get me to swallow it. I know you reporters too well. Pose for a picture? I would if I dared, but Mr. Alsop objects." The bridegroom said it was the end of their wedding trip. "Don't say that.” his young wife re sponded. "We’ve just had a jaunt over the waves. Please don't look upon us as old married folks.” RECEIVER SOUGHT FOR RICHMOND REFORMATORY AUGUSTA. GA..
