LONGSTREET’S
WIDOW PRAYING
FOR COLONEL
Stirred by Report of Vote Bar
ter, Gainesville Postmaster
Wires Roosevelt.
GAINESVILLE, GA., June 18.—Declar
ing she had heard that a Georgia dele
gate to the Chicago convention had been
promised the postmastershlp at Gaines
•ille If he would support Taft, Mrs. Helen
5. Longstreet, present office-holder of the
jffice, today sent the telegram to Colonel
Roosevelt: .
With reference to the delegate who
has been promised the commission of
the Gainesville, Ga.. postoffice for his
vote for President Taft’s nomination,
you will please announce for me that
the goods can not be delivered. The
conscience of the American people
would not stand for my removal from
this office to provide the price of a
vote for President Taft. The sun Is
too high in the heavens for a mon
strous outrage like that to be perpe
trated In this great republic.
I hold your commission In this of
fice and I rest my right to hold it on
my record in the office.
Prays for T. R. Victory.
My government which taxes me for
Its support, denies me the power of
the ballot. I have no voice In nomi
nating presidents and no political
rights of any character which this na
tion respects.
But it can ot deny me the right to
pray. And my prayers are ascending
to the battlements of heaven that the
cause of mankind shall triumph in
Chicago.
The cause of mankind is as definite
ly committed to your hands today as
it was committed to Abraham Lincoln
when he contended for the freedom of
all men on the continent of North
America.
I am not In Chicago to witness your
nomination because tickets to the con
vention hall were not for distribution
' to your friends.

CITY WANTS TO CLOSE
FORSYTH UNDERPASS
The state legislature will have to
give permission before the city can
close the underpass at Forsyth street
or improve the viaduct. A bill asking
authority to do this will be presented
1n the general assembly this session,
as the council has approved the plan
for the change submitted by Mayor
Winn yesterday. By closing the under
pass the entire viaduct will be avail
able for passing over the railroad
tracks and will eliminate the congest
ed condition at that crossing.

THE G, 0, P. GATHERING
CHICAGO, June 18.—" Remember the
eighth commandment. 'Thou shalt not
steal' ” This slogan was adopted today
by the Roosevelt followers.
Timmons Carnarvon, of London, rep
resentative of an English magazine,
who found it impossible to secure ac
commodations at either of the big lake
front hotels, announced bls Intention
today of erecting a tent on the lake
front.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and Mrs.
James F. D. Lanier, of New York, had
the first shock of a busy week when
they arrived at the Blackstone and
foutid the corridors thronged with men
and women of social prominence from
all over the country, who were patient
ly waiting for information as to where
they might be able to sleep at night.
Luckily, the reservations for the Van
derbilt party were made as far back as
January, and a signed and sealed con
tract duly executed on the spot assured
them of apartments for the balance of
the week.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Taft, of Cin
cinnati, were among the enthusiasts to
be caught In a big scrimmage at the
Congress after the Taft meeting last
night, when elevators were blocked for
an hour and women found it practi
cally impossible to regain their apart
ments on the upper floors except by
the stairways, these also being nearly
Impassable.
The faces of the Tafts were mirrors
of the enjoyment they felt in the tre
mendous noise made by the Taft men,
thusiastically, though when she was
asked to- express her feelings in words
she smiling objected.

Taft Will Win Easily,
Wires Jackson
Henry S. Jackson, United States col
lector of internal revenue and a strong
Taft Republican of Atlanta who is in
Chicago, today sent the announcement
of his election as a committeeman to a
number of friends here. His telegram
follows: "The Georgia delegation cau
cused today and 26 were solid for Taft.
There were only two renegades'—Greer
and Boone. I was unanimously elected
committeeman. Tuft will win in- a
walk. Henry S. Jackson."
Considerable discussion of the mes
sage was heard about the Federal
building when it was announced, and
a noticeable increase of confidence on
the part of Taft followers was shown.

haps the most favored among hundreds
of women who fought to reach their
quarters in the Congress hotel during
the worst of the crush. . Mrs. Long
worth was bound for the presidential
suite at the Congress just as a big Taft
jubilation on the main floor broke out
and rushed for cooler quarters, jam
ming the corridors so that even the
strongest men were in trouble to keep
from being swept along in the crush.
Just then a Taft man covered with
banners and badges, who had been one
of the most vociferous Taftites in the
big meeting, recognized Mrs. Long
worth. "Make, way for Mrs. Long
worth." he shouted, and the mob of
struggling men fell apart as though by
magic. Mrs. Longworth bowed her ac
knowledgement of the courtesy dis
played by her strenuous father’s oppo
nents, smiling to right and left as she
passed through the cordon of uncov
ered enemies to the throne.

a town councillor of Glasgow and an
enthusiastic believer in American in

attend the convention and promised to
show Miss Lorrie all the sights, but de
spite the promise has failed to appear
more than a minute at a time since his
arrival. "I never saw papa in such a
stew," said Miss Lorrie today. "He
just runs all over the place like a shot
rabbit, enjoying himself hugely, I’ve no
doubt, but leaving me to guess how the
convention crowd looks, because he Is
my only chaperon except my maid, who
is so terribly alarmed, poor old soul,
that I can not get her downstairs to
save me.”

AT THE THEATERS -
FEATURE BILL OF STARS
MAKES HIT AT FORSYTH
Trixie Friganza received a warm wel
come to Atlanta upon her appearance
at the Forsyth last night. Both Miss
Friganza and her audience laughed
throughout the extent of her stay on
the stage. The charming comedienne
has a jolly laugh and smiling eyes that
would bring a response to any one
who looks at her, even if she did not
say anything. And she has quite a bit
to say, and some fetching little sing
lets, and even essays a few steps of
what everybody is doing. One of Miss
Friganza's songs in which she calls:
"Oh. Henry,” in a beseeching tone,
caught the popular fancy, in an es
pecial manner, and after the show, one
heard the call, “Oh, Henry,” on every
side. Trixie is a popular favorite here,
and is sure to draw a crowd this week
at the Forsyth.
Beside Miss Friganza. the hill at the
vaudeville house is unusually good.
There are several out of the ordinary
features. Joe Welch, the well known
comedian, has many admirers in At
lanta. and his act, on the opening night,
was received with enthusiasm.
Then there is the “Up-to date Mis
sionary," a miniature musical comedV
that goes well. Tom Lipton, assisted
by Grace Lindquist, as the Zulu queen,
and a number of pretty Zulu girls, gives
a series of songs and dances, with
funny sayings and situations, the scenic
effect being especially pretty also.
Another novel act of unusual merit is
the Japanese wonder worker billed as
"The Great Asahi." Some wonderful
dancing is done by one of the two
blackface comedians, Hibbert and War
rent, In their act. The bill is com
pleted by Les Montforts In a tip-toe
act of its kind, and the Three Bel
monts, in a singing and dancing trio,
the feature'of which is the scarecrow
girl’s stunt.
MANY Gil. SOLONS
Legislature Probably Will Not
Get Down to Actual Business
Before July 1.
Although the Georgia legislature will
meet Wednesday, June 26, it will not
get right down to business until the
following Monday.
There will be many vacant seats
when President of the Senate Slaton
and Speaker Holder call their respec
tive chambers to order for the last
session of the present general assem
bly.
It is likely that a quorum will be
present, of course, but it is not likely
that two-thirds of both houses will an
swer the first morning's roll calls.
It is probable that routine matters
will be disposed of Wednesday and
Thursday, and possibly Friday. Both
houses will adjourn either Thursday
or Friday until the following Monday,
declaring the intervening days to be
non-legislative days. and, therefore,
not a part of the 50 days limit to which
sessions are held down by the consti
tution of the state. z
Many Going to Baltimore.
A great many members of the legis
lature will go to the national Demo
cratic convention in Baltimore.
Not a few of them are delegates, and
many more are ardent Underwood men,
and want to be in the Monumental City
when the big Democratic pow-wow is
on.
The indications now are that both
specials from Georgia to Baltimore will
be crowded with delegates and other
Georgians going to the convention to
help whoop things up. Next to Ala
bama, Georgia probably will send more
“rooters” to Baltimore thany any other
Southern state.
In these circumstances, a sort of un
written “gentleman’s agreement” seems
to have been entered into between
members of both the senate and the
house that nothing byway of import
ance or general legislation shall be un
dertaken by the legislature until after
the Baltimore convention has been
held.
This understanding means that the
real work of the legislature will hardly
begin before Monday, July 1.

UNION AND PRINT
SHOPAREATODOS
Blosser & Co. Declare Open
Shop and Fifteen Workmen
Are Idle Today.
Fifteen printers, pressmen and book
binders are on strike today at the job
printing shop of Blosser & Company,
on Walton street.
President Still, of the Typographical
union, declares the men were locked
out of the Blosser shop when they ap
peared there for work yesterday; that
they were told by Superintendent Kay
sor that they could return to work
only upon the understanding that they
work nine hours a day hereafter for
the same money they were getting, and
that the jshop would be an open shop
hereafter. They refused.
The men declare that the Blosser
company, joining the ranks of the Ty
pothetae or non-union bosses tn this
city, has agreed to a plan whereby
the journeymen's hours of work shall
be increased and the price of finished
work to the consumer advanced. They
say this movement on the part of the
Typothetae has already driven several
large printing contracts from Atlanta to
other Georgia cities. They declare that
the non-union bosses’ organization has
entered into a pool to bid for all job
printing contracts and distribute ali lo
cal contracts equally among their shops
at an extra price than would prevail
if the "printers trust" had not been
formed.
Manager Denies Charges,
Manager Kaysor, of the Blosser com.
pany, denied these charges. He Issued
a statement in which he said the Bios
ser company was manning half its ma
chines with men today in spite of tho
strike. He added that hereafter the
company would operate Its plant as an
open shop, with nine-hour workdays.
He said the company extended a hearty
invitation to its men to return to work
by 5 o’clock yesterday, that having re
fused the men would not be taken
back.
The strikers declared this afternoon
they would remain out indefinitely, and
that the International Typographical
union had promised them aid in not
only breaking this “lockout," but in
bringing into the union the other "rat"
job printing plants in Atlanta.
