WELD BOONS SIL JOO Oil Head of Syndicate Which Suc ceeded the Ryan Interests Visits Atlanta. S. Davies Warfield, president of the Continental Trust Company of Balti more and the man who bought control of the Seaboard Air Line Railway Com pany from the Thomas F. Ryan inter ests two weeks ago’, arrived In' Atlanta today in his private car to make the first of the arrangements by which the Seaboard will become wholly a South ern railroad operated by Southern men in the interests of the South. With Mr. Warfield came Charles R. Capps, vice president of the Seaboard, in charge of all its traffic. Mr. Warfield consulted freely with capitalists of At lanta and wjll see financial leaders of other Southern cities, and as a result of these confabs it is expected that within the week Mr. Warfield will not only swing much Southern capital to the Seaboard interests, but will pick a number of men from Atlanta and other Southern towns to' form the new di rectorate of the line. Railroad to Typify Progress of South. Mr. Warfield's splendid private car lay near the Seaboard station. Tn a busy few hours he met several of the best known capitalists of the South, to whom he confided his ambition of mak ing the Seaboard a progressive railroad, South owned and South operated, typi cal of the progressiveness of the new South. Mr. Warfield said that he has defi nitely’ tn mind the complete fulfillment of the aims of the Southern Settlement •nd Development association of Balti more, the incorporation of w’hich pre ceded and had a direct bearing upon the purchase of the Seaboard control Eight governors, eight railroad presi dents and 40 other powerful represen tatives of Southern interests formed that organization in Baltimore, he said, with the specific idea of Southern traf fic development by Southerners. Georgia Men To Be The Directorate. "The Seaboard is the first big step we have taken along that line.” said Mr. Warfield. "It will offer almost un limited opportunities for the commer cial and industrial evolution we have in view, and we plan to make the im petus of this Southern revival felt throughout the country for miles in every direction along tlie line of th ■ Seaboard’s tracks.” When /he new board of directors is chosen in the early fall Mr. Warfield plans to put upon that list men of influence and capita) to represent each of the Virginias, the Carolinas, Geor gia, Florida and Alabama. Among the men Mr. Warfield visited here was Asa G. Candler, president of the Central Bank and Trust Corpora tion. The new head of the Seaboard was much impressed with the lavish new quarters of the bank and congrat. ulated Mr. Candler on the progressive ness of which they are an evidence. The two talked over conditions in gen eral in the South. Mrs. T. R. Rice. Wra T. R. Rice, 5$ years old, died at a private sanitarium today, where she had been taken from her home at Royston. Ga.

M. GRADUATION INFULLSWING Old Grads Gather For Class Re union at Close of School Year. The University of Georgia is at the close of the most prosperous session In the history of the institution. More than 600 students were registered dur ing the year and the achievements of the body as a whole have been of a higher grade of excellence than ever before. But the present commence ment will go down in history as notable for the beginning of a period of devel opment which will end only when "Georgia” ranks with the leading uni versities of the East. In the board of visitors report, which has been rendered to the trustees of the university, a series of nineteen rec ommendations Is made. More than half of these are already embodied in plans which will begin to work out next year. Before many more moons the law de partment of the university will have a building to itself which will cost $50,000. This movement, which is now well formed, had its genesis with the stu dent body. Henry Newnan, of Atlanta together with Joe Deadwylcr and a number of others, pointed out to the trustees the necessity for better ar rangement and equipment of the law class rooms that was now provided for in the academic building. When the board of visitors, headed by Prof. J. A. Mershon, of Gainesville, made its re port this plan was heartily concurred in. • A students committee will go before the state legislature this summer for an appropriation. For Dramatic Art School, By far the most daring plan which is now on foot and which stand/ a chance of materializing is that one which would provide a school of dra matic art such as exists only at Har vard and the University’ of Chicago. Prof. R. E. Park, head of the English department, is sponsor for this. “It Is my idea." said Prof. Park, "to have a school that would teach the structure of the drama —play writing in other words.” The class of 1907, headed by the re doubtable Harrison Jones and William Brantley, both of Atlanta, hits town this afternoon in time to take in the prize drill and attend the junior hop tonight. Among the prominent Atlan tans in this class are Remsen Porter King. Philip Weltner. the well-known attorney. Walton Griffith. G. H. Gil lon. Grover C. Middlebrooks, Trammel Scott. J. G. Mays and Loring Raoul. Class of 75 Gathers. The most notable event in the way of reunions, however, will be the gath ering together of the class of 1875. Among these are Judge John C. Hart former attorney general of the state; Pleasant A. Stovall, editor of The Sa vannah Press; William H. Fleming, former congressman; S. Guyton Mc- Lendon. former railroad commissioner and present candidate for the United States senate; Boykin Wright, one of the best known civil lawyers in the South and former legislator ffom Augusta; John Temple Graves, editor of The New York American: Dr. Frank Ridley, of LaGrange; Daniel Rountree, legal associate of Thomas B Felder; John L. Tye. of Atlanta; Ames A Jackson, president Aiken & Augusta railway, and Judge Hamilton McWhor ter. of Athens. Judge McWhorter will entertain the class while it is here. The fancy dress ball and sophomore declamations were events of Saturday night. There were many Atlantans rep resented. Some of those noted were Miss Isabel Kuhrt, as a Puritan mai den; Miss Virginia Lipscomb, as Dolly Madison; Miss Bertha Morse, as Little Bo Peep; Miss Amelia Smith, as a school child; Miss Van Spalding, as Pocahontas; Miss Callie Hoke Smith, 1s Night; Miss Florence Hansell, as Juliet; Miss Eugenia Ivey, as Lucia de Lammrrmoor, and many others.

MONDAY, JUNE 17. 1912. SCALDING FLOOD AFTER FUGITIVE Shackled Prisoner. Fugitive Under Ground. Pursued by 10,000 Gallons Water. John Wallace, the double-shackled negro convict who escaped from the stockade chaingang by escaping into the trunk sewer manhole at South Boulevard and Carroll street this morn ing, was pursued by 10,000 gallons of scalding water as he struggled blindly through the pitch dark, filth floored subterranean passageway in his des perate flight to the outlet three miles away. Guard Manders, from whom the ne gro criminal fled, begged this after noon to be allowed to follow lhe man Into the depths of the loathsome sewer. Superintendent Tom Lanford, of the stockade, refused to permit the guard to descend. He told him that Wallace was almost surely dead somewhere in the sewer because ten minutes after he entered it the Fulton Bag and Cotton Company opened its sluice gates two blocks away a,nd let loose into the sew - era raging torrent of boiling water, which must have caught and literally broiled to death the fleeing negro be fore he could have stumbled more than 200 yards upon his way Io the far off outlet of the sewer at an East Atlanta creek. Lost in Tunnels He Faces Starvation. The superintendent declared that even if the fugitive convict succeeded in avoiding the flood by climbing up the side walls of the sewer he would still be killed by the stifling heat that would arise from the swirling, steam ing water beneath him. Or If he es caped both these deaths the superin tendent declared he could hardly keep a straight Course in the blackness o r the tunnel, but would surely stray off into one of the dozens of other branch sewers that ramify in all directions from the trunk tunnel he entered. Lost in the unlighted curves and mazes of these interminable holes. the man would have dot one chance in a million of ever again reaching the light of day and would starve to death amid the slimy refuse if he were not suffocated long before by the deadly sewer gas. Nevertheless, armed guards are sta tioned at every manhole throughout the length of the long underground ditch and they have orders to shoot the ne gro on sight if he shows the least sign of resistance to recapture. No sign of the fleeing man had been seen by any of the guards at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Wallace made hl» sensational escape at the corner of South Boulevard and Carroll street at 9 o’clock. Surely he had never heard of the similar escapes into the sewers of Paris so graphical!}’ related in Hugo’s “Les Miserables." But his dash for liberty resembled perfectly the weird flights of the French crimi nals into the underground sewers of the foreign city. Cautiously Waits Chance to Escape. Double-shackled, because he was bound over for trial for assault with intent to rob, Wallace was working with the road gang this morning When the chance he had long been looking for came. He was working on the road at some little distance from the other He noticed the open man hole of the sewer. Slowly and cau tiously he worked his way toward the manhole, keeping a wary eye upon the guard, who never suspected the pris oner. Suddenly when the guard turned his back for a moment Wallace dropped the pick he had been plying and de spite the double shackles which fettered him, he flung his body headforemost Into the dark, loathsome depths of the sewer. When he struck the bottom he stumbled to his feet in the slime and water and groped his way far enough from the entrance so that none of the guards could see him. Then, it is be lieved, he rested only long enough to recover a little strength before begin ning the horrible journey through the pitch dark depths of the loathsome sewer to the outlet at the creek, more than two miles away. The negro’s escape was noticed by the guards almost Instantly and a search of the sewer at the manhole re vealed the manner of his disappear ance. Aid was. summoned from the stockade and guards were sent quickly to man the manholes of the sewer throughout Its entire length. The negro Wallace is 30 years old and has a bad record. He was serving 30 days in the stockade before going on trial in the state courts for the assault and attempted robbery.

J. O. BOOTON, MARSHALLVILLE, GA. Electric Dumb-waiter Lifts $500,000 BANK OPENS NEW HOME With an eleotric dumbwaiter to car ry a half million dollars at a time.—if you happen to need that much—and many other remarkable innovations, the newly renovated quarters of the Cen tral Bank and Trust Company, on the ground floor of lhe Candler building, were opened today. Enough handshaking for a presiden tial campaign marked the housewarm ing, a steady stream of Atlanta’s lead ing business men and city officials fil ing in all day to congratulate Asa G. Candler, head of the Institution, and other officials. The drink that built the big sky scraper anti many other buildings— Coca Cola—was served to the visitors, one of the tellers’ windows being fitted up as a soda water stand. The big bank has many unique fea tures —all introduced with an eye to practicality and to make business run as smoothly as possible. Each cage is fitted w’ith a telephone to the cashier and the moment that one negotiates a loan or presents a heavy check it is an easy matter to call that official .over the phone and ask "How about it?” Guarding each window is a littls statuette of the Sphinx. The great vaults and safes are in the basement. Hereafter when you ask the paying teller to please cash your check for anything over a hundred thousand dol lars he’ll cash it byway of the only electric money elevator in the U. S. A. All large movements of currency from the money cellar to the paying tellers window will be up a little steel clad dumb waiter shaft that is, scheduled. to transfer a half a mil lion of dollars in gold and silver and paper joy at a single press of a button and carry more of the life of life be tween the vaults and the outside world than any dumb waiter ever di earned of. Just Matter of Moment. You brush into the renovated mar bleized offices of the Central bank today, say. and you sweep up to the paying teller with your well known careless air and say to him: "Sorry to have to trouble you for half of that $255,000 99 deposit right now. but 1 might as well put up the cash for a corner lot I’ve bought this morning. Sate keeping books, you know." And he'll say: "With pleasure, sir Just study that fountain you see spurt ing near the president's window." And you’ll casually glance at the $1,200 piece of sculpture in marble and bronze that the Central has imported for its CITVSFINANGE SHEET APPROVED The final approval of the city finance sheet was the most important matter handled by the city council this after noon, at the meeting which began at 3 o'clock. The street committee reported bids for the paving of Forsyth street between Ala bama and Mitchell streets, and the park committe'e reported against giving a por tion of Piedmont park for a new Eighth ward school. The ordinance committee submitted a favorable report on the ordinance creat ing a "smoke commission,” an advisory board which will investigate Atlanta's smoke nuisance, and an inspector of smoke and meters ala salary of $2,400 a year. The report of the charter revision com mittee was submitted for consideration. Its most important feature Is an amend ment providing for the retirement of city officials and employees who have served 20 years. The present pension law per mits such veterans to retire upon their own wish, but it is proposed to give coun cil the right to order such retirement, upon half pay, when it is deemed advis able. Its passage would affect several veteran city Wall officials and a number of policemen and firemen NEGRO, IN FEAR OF DEATH, BEGS TO BE KEPT IN JAIL MONTGOMERY. _ALA.. June 17. George, alias "Peddler" Glover, a Lowndes county negro, who Is a witness In the arson case agatnst C. Walter Jones and others, has been arrested and brought to Montgomery on a Federal warrant charg ing him with selling liquor without a li cense. Glover Is the negro who. for fear that he would be slain, begged the sheriff of Lowndes county recently to put him in jail at Hayneville. On reaching here the negro pleaded with the Federal officer not to turn him loose here. The negro's pre liminary has been fixed for June 26. He Is in Jail. The offense is alleged to have been committed on the Vandiver place, six miles from here lobby from Italy while the paying tell er slides down to the cellar with an other officer, gives the sesame to five steel barred doors and a safe that leads to the money chamber. He’ll lift out the $127,500.44 1-2 you need, dump it carefully on the electric steel clad dumb waiter, press bone-crowned knob and a minute afterward there’ll be your money ready for you without a chance for a bank robber from the time it started up until you leave the bank's front door. Innovations Are Many, The electric dumb waiter and the Italian fountain ate only a couple of the innovations that the Central had prepared for its moving from the old Dakota hotel building at Pryor and Houston, where it has housed its of ficers and books a year, to its reno vated offices in the skyscraper across the road. The bank offices now greets its customers in quarters all In Georgia marble with hand carved statuettes surmounting the grillings that cost many, many thousands of dollars to make. The private office of President Asa G. Can dler might well be some conception of Petronius when he was arbiter elegant in Quo Vadis and all the other officers have been shifted Into a marble flanked cork-floored miniature rotunda In the very center of the great room, so that they are so accessible to the public that you can hardly reconcile the dig nity of cash with their accessibility. Can’t Be Beat Anywhere. The officers of the bank say it Is the handsomest banking scenario anywhere in this country, let alone New York, end they think that when they get up the ponderous undulating iron grills in front of their piate glass windows there will be nothing in the nation anywhere that will be better appointed and hand somer to the human eye than the Hoot space they now occupy. The officers of the bank are:'Asa G. Candler, president; John S. Owens, vice president; A. P. Coles, vice presi dent; W. D. Owens, cashier; Henry C. Heinz, assistant cashier; Carl H. Lewis, assistant cashier, and Barrington J. King, assistant cashier. The directors are: Asa G. Candler. John S. Owens, W. M. Nixon, George E. King, Dr. J. S. Todd, Sam D. Jones. Norman C. Miller, Eugene R Black, Isaac H. Hirsch, A. Montgomery. W. H. Glenn, Dr. IV. B. Hamby, VV. C. Harper, W. L. Fain, Dr. Willis B. Jones and A. P. Coles. ' HOLDEN ENTERS CONGRESS RACE AUGUSTA. GA.. June 17—Judge Horace M. Holden, former Justice of the state supreme court, announced his candidacy for congress from the Tenth district this afternoon. He will give a formal statement to the press at once, and will follow that later with a platform announcement. Judge Holden believes that his pros pects of election are exceedingly bright. He will enter at once upon an aggres sive campaign. So far the present congressman from the Tenth, Thomas W. Hardwick, has made no announcement for re-election There has been an effort to get Mr. Hardwick to enter the governor's race, and Judge Holden’a announcement un doubtedly will bring that matter to a head. The general impression throughout the district is that Hardwick will run for congress again. HONEST, THEY DID FIND WHISKY AND BEER IN SEAB WRIGHT’S ROOM ROME, GA., June 17.—1 n a room where • negro declared Seaborn Wright, a well known prohibition leader of the United States, kept some plunder, officers found two boxes of whisky. Mr. Wright is not charged with selling whisky, however, and a charge has been brought against Slm Davie, a negro. The place raided Is within the shadow of the Floyd county court house and a stone's throw of the police station. Davie was taken to the room and when he told the officers that Seaborn Wright kept his plunder there and he had the key to the place, the bluecoats refused to believe the negro had hammered down the door with an ax. They found several jugs of whisky and bottlee of beer. Davie escaped while the officers were looking for the ax. He is still at large REAGH CASE PUTS LID ON IN AIKEN AIKEN. S. C., June 17.—Aiken is swept today by a tremendous reform wave. In which even the rich social colony is joining, to show’ the world that the town repudiates and resents the “Beauty Beach Scandal." The city council has decided to instruct the Aiken policemen to put a quick and effective check upon all the amuse ments in which Beach and his set in dulged. For the next two weeks city policemen will investigate every social club once every 60 minutes, day and night, and even the appearance of dis sipation will be sternly suppressed. Already the gambling halls have been closed and the owners whose machines have not been cohfiscated have shipped the paraphernalia. The officials of Aiken declare openly that the places frequented by "The Beach crowd” will be put out of business if they have to close them at the points of guns and the assertion is as openly made that Beach must take such a dose of Aiken medicine that no recurrence of such a scandal will ever imperil the reputation of the town. Even the Society Folk Are Affected. Scores of the best known members of the social colony have joined the resi dents in this crusade and not least re markable Is the. fact that the move ment has even swept Into the revival stage Society folk who have been conspicuous by their absence from Aiken churches for years have flocked to th£ “protracted meetings," where the ministers are denouncing the Beach case and calling upon their congrega tions to stamp out scandal from Aiken forever. Some of the more fervid of this “so ciety clique” have gone to the point of speaking out against the Beach case in open meeting and have thus gone on record as aiding the residents morally in their repudiation crusade. Undoubt edly this stand accounts In large part for the tremendous Impetus of the re vival movement now In progress in Aiken. Evangelists are speaking at three meetings a day in most of the churches and the edifices have proved too small to hold the throngs. The preachers lose no opportunity to hold up the Beach case as a popular lesson, and the sentiment of their con gregations manifestly centers about this Issue ONE REBEL. LEADER IN CUBA CAPTURED, ANOTHER IS KILLED WASHINGTON, June 17.—Official confirmation of the death of General Estenoz, leader of the Cuban rebels, and the capture of General Lacosta by the federal forces, was received at the state department today in a message from Minister Beaupre.

The little fellow is the son of Super intendent Wheelis, whq is in charge of the work of construction on the new Southern freight terminals, and lives with his parents at 47 Trinity avenue. Having been here but a short time, lit tle Edward knew nothing of the city, but that didn’t feaze him. To him At lanta was the whole world and he ►wanted to see it. When the father left home this morn ing he gave little Edward a nickel, telling him to be a good boy until "papa comes back." Edward wanted to be a good boy all right, but. all of this money at one time developed the wan derlust, and he started out to “take, in the town," sllpipng away from homie at an opportune moment. Spends Nickel For Candy. At the first store Edward spent his nickel for candy. Eating and walking, with no thought of passing vehicles nor the crowded streets, tie soon found himself downtown. After looking in the show windows at the “prettle«r and knlcknacks and enjoying himself to his heart’s content, the tot decided he had seen the whole, show. He was tired, anyway, and wanted to go home. He ambled along for several blocks, and then came the realization that he, was lost. The little “tourist" didn’t cry. He was too manly for that. But he was getting mighty tired, and the pair of robust legs began to feel wabbly. Finally, he sighted a house that he thought was his own home and in he strolled. It was the homo of W. O. Stamps, the merchant, at 315 White hall street. "I wants my mommer," pleaded the little fellow as he met Mrs. Stamps in the hallway. “Well, who is your mamma, my little man?" asked Mrs. Stamps. "She’s my mommer, and I want my mommer." was the only identification furnished by the little “unknown." No one in the block knew anything of the tot, and Mr. Stamps took him to the police station. "I wants my mommer,” said little Ed ward to the several policemen who gathered about and questioned him. It was then but a few minutes until the mystery was solved. An excited wom an inquired over the telephone if a lost hoy had been found. Little Edward's description brought a cry of joy over the phone. The baby tourist’s tour came to an end a few minutes later amid great enthusiasm. SLAYER M’NAUGHTON MAKES A FINAL PLEA THAT LIFE BE SPARED Dr. W. J. McNaughton, the Emanuel county slayer, under sentence to die for poisoning Fred Flanders, mazie his last plea for life through extraordinary mo tion before the state supreme court to day. If the high court refuses McNaugh ton a new trial on the new evidence the man, whose case has already been dragged through all the courts of Georgia and even Into the United States supreme court, will go to his death Upon the final disposition of Mc- Naughton’s case hangs the fate of Mrs Mattle Flanders, wife of McNaugh ton’s victim. Mrs. Flanders was in dicted for complicity in the crime, but has never been tried. McNaughton was found guilty of administering arsenic to Flanders while the latter and his wife were boarding in McNaughton’s home. Upon evidence that Mrs. Flanders did not seem moved over her husband’s death, but appeared eager to get his share estate of $3,000, the wife was indicted. 3
