June 15.—The police de clared today that a poison plot rival Ing in sensational features, the case of Mrs. Louise Vermilya wjll be unrav eled as a result of the arrest of Mrs. Louisa G. Lindloff, a former spiritualist and medium. Mrs. Lindloff is suspected of having poisoned her two husbands and three grown children, all of whom carried in surance amounting in the aggregate to $10.2'5. Os this she collected $6,900. Taken into custody on mere suspicion, the ease against the woman grew stronger with each new feature un earthed today by the coroner and the police. One of the most important witnesses against the woman probably will be Dr. A. S. Warner, who attended three of the supposed victim- of the woman, and who declared that all showed unmis takable symptoms of poisoning. Poison Bottles Found, A search of the house disclosed a number of bottles of pills and mediein- < labeled “Poison." These were given to chemists for an analysis. The member of the family who have died in the past seven years are: Julius Gaunke, the prisoner's first husband, who died August 1. 1905. Freda Gaunke (also known as Freda Lindloff).. daughter by her first hus band, died June 11. 1908. William Lindloff, to whom the for mer Mrs. Gaunke was married on No vember 7, 1906, and who died August 3. 1910.

Arthur Alfred Gaunke (known as Lindloff), born May 9. 1897; died in The University hospital June 13, 1912. Henry Kuba, a boarder at .Mrs. Lind loff’s home, and who is said to, have been Infatuated with her. also is being held in the belief that he possesses knowledge of the circumstances sur rounding the deaths. TAX RAISE THREAT RESULT OF LAND PRICED TO CITY Because of the high prices of tracts of land offered the city for a cemetery, Coun cilman Orville Hall declared today that he would urge the tax officials to increase the assessments on this property in pro portion to the prices asked for it. Tracts all around Atlanta have been of fered to the city for a cemetery. AU the proposals were turned down because of the high prices. Councilman Hail said the owners were not paying taxes on such values and that he intended to take the matter up with council and have the tax assessments raised. MISSIONARY CONVENTION. COLUMBUS. GA..

Jackson. When Ormsby Mi-Harg. the. Roosevelt gumshoe man. came to Georgia some two months ago and undertook to upset, the Taft delegation, already elected under the usual order of things, the Taft people said that Meliarg was "on a cold trail,” and was not hopeful of obtaining any genuine !• gal standing anyway, for his proposed lloosevelt "contesting” delegation, but was only seeking to get it tn such shape that it could be seated with as much grace as possible, in the event it should be found later that Roosevelt's friends and partisan.; controlled the national e.ommil tee. McHarg never sue ceded in getting any regular sanction to his call for new con ventions. AU the duly accredited repre sentatives of the state Republican or ganization held coldly aloof from the Me ll arg efforts. The convention MeHarg succeeded in putting over was held without the co operation of any Republican to whom had been delegated authority to act for the party in Georgia. Georgia Republicans of the Taft per suasion are claiming, moreover, that Me- Harg deceived lloosevelt as to the real situation in Georgia, and that, had the former president really understood the ■ituaiion, he doubtless would not have coimii-nanced the Meliarg bluff at a con test before the national erimmittee. The Taft people are laughing nt the Me- Harg falldown, and even a few of the "insurgents" are said to be suspecting that they took the smooth ami persuasive Myllarg a little too .seriously when he was ilowii Illi.- Way last April. "Si rviee in the lower house of con gress -lem;, jo bemfwmfwmfwcfwb kgkq. observes The Athens Banner. Sometimes, one is justified in think ing so, anyway. Colonel Thomas 8., Felder, one of Geor gia'.- delegtit' -at-lar;,'.'. to the national I lemocr.itic eon v'■ lit inn in Baltimore, lias been invited to be the guest of Mayor .I.lines II Preston, during his stay in the city. Baltimore rci.i ntlj started a great, big, rapid-fire Presion vice'pte.sidentlal boom, moreover! If Colonel Felder undertakes to push that along, there ate plenty of folks will ing to het it gets somewhere. I'eiTims who think polities the most aui'i.ing topic of conversation ever, are reminded of the faet. that Miss Alice Virgin'.i rteol recently was ad mitted to the iii-actice of medicine In Colorado. The friends < f John M Slaton ate feeni in.tiy j'.-lifled tn many instances in their claim that ill factions are getting to gether in Slaron's lavor gubernatorlally. Anyway. Judge George Hillyer, certainly is stout-hearted and as loyal a partisan ' i ' Hon • Hoke Smith ever boasted, is for Slaton in the present light, and Is not at all backward about letting lus friends know it. Ju ~‘i Hill.vi.-r says it is a mistake about his having been a member of Tom Hud- -a o i o nil I'onniHi' ic. He ,- iys b o. always had the kindliest of feeling for Hudson, and still his. but that he long ago decided that -l.iton was the man for tile present emergency. If Judge Hill;-. : I'lii'lis Slaton a (? and proper mult m whom factional diffeiences By JAMES B. NEVIN may he buried, it seems a conclusion not at all violent that there must be many others. Mr. Taft does not seem to know exactly where he is going, but he no doubt is firmly persuaded that he is on his way, all right! Rufe Hutchens shot athwart the At lanta horizon today, and desperate efforts were made to halt him long enough to get him to say something of a political sort—but there was nothing doing. "How about Watson-Felder-Baltimore- Chicago- Bankhead - Underwood - Brown- Hoke-any old thing, colonel?” inquired one anxious busybody, whose lot in Ye it is to get things out of notables and people of importance, “Too busy practicing law,” returned Hutchens. _ "But I am going to Baltimore and we are going to put our man over, too,” he said. And then he said "Good-bye!” and jumped in a hack, on his way to the Terminal. Rome ward bound. As an evidence that there Is grand, gloomy and peculiar politics elsewhere than in Georgia, it may be mentioned that a lot of lepers in China have gone on strike for higher pensions. They are sore on the government. Dr. P. Y. Duckett, of Cornelia, thinks mighty well of the suggestion that tha Tallulah Falls conservationists bring out a candidate for governor, in order to get the matter of conservation of that "beau ty spot” squarely up to the people. He writes suggesting the name of Col onel George N. Napier, of Monroe, as a tit and proper man for that nomination. Colonel Napier is a Georgian of wide acquaintance. He is grand master of the Masons in this state, and, while that has nothing to do with politics, it has served to give him a wide and influential circle of friends and acquaintances. Colonel Napier has served in the house of representatives, and if he should get into the gubernatorial fray, he would be heard from undoubtedly. There are three colored delegates already on hand in Chicago who "re fuse to say how they stand.” Isn’t one side, or the other overlooking a bet right there a strictly on the q. t. wager, as it were? An effort will be made at the forth coming session of the legislature to en- U'.-t a law providing for rotation of the superior court, judges. This in an ancient, and widely ap proved idea, in Georgia, and various ef f'; i to j ich ,i law on the statute books have been made in the past, but never successfully. The bill providing for rotation will be introduced this year by Representative Sam Garlingion. of Richmond, who says he expec’s to bend his best efforts to put ting it through the general assembly. That ancient puzzle, "What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable body?" is about to be solved at last. Tom Felder says he is g ing to Baltimore right through South Carolina, and Governor Blease s.iys he shall not get by the first sta tion. T!ie r.i for the legislature has opened op in 'll ■! i irnest In White county. Al ■i. iv ilim rtre llirei candidates in the ■ bi. form. r Representative J. H. Alley, W A. .laei.-ron and C. H.
