MOTHER UNTOLD
OF SON'S SUICIDE
Homer Jackson Buried Near
Old Home, Where Parent
Lies Dangerously 111,
While the body of Homer V. Jack
eon, who leaped to his death from a
ninth-story window of the Empire
building, is being interred today in the
cemetery at Haston, a small town near
Covington, his mother lies seriously ill
and knows not that her son Is dead
Fearing that it may result seriously to
her, physicians have avoided breaking
the news of the tragedy.
Jackson’s body*was removed to the
Barclay & Brandon parlors yesterday
afternoon and shipped this morning at
7:30 to Covington. His sister, Mrs. J.
F Huss, and her husband. Dr. Huss,
accompanied the body to Haston. Be
sides his mother and sister, Jackson is
survived by three brothers. W. Jackson
and M. E. Jackson, of Covington, and
W. C. Jackson, a student at the North
Carolina State Norma! school.
Jackson was a prominent member of
the Atlanta Athletic ctafb and belonged
also to the Capital City club and M. &
M. club. He numbered his friends in
Atlanta by the hundreds. He was a
hell known golf player and had spent
much of his time on the East Lake
links before going to a Baltimore sani
tarium for treatment.
Threatened to End Life.
Jackson’s suicide yesterday afternoon
caused a halt In business tn the offlcos
of the Empire building. All who heard
of the tragedy rushed to a window or
crowded in the lobby on the second
floor where the body landed after the
drop of eigftt floor®.
Jackson was temporarily deranged at
the time of his deed. He had said
Bunday night, on his return from Ba -
tlmore, that he came home to commit
eulclde and had made two unsuccess
ful efforts just prior to bls plunge out
of the skyscraper window.
He had suffered from neurasthenia
and went to Baltimore for treatment.
Believing that he had recovered, he
wrote his brother-in-law. Dr. Huss, to
, ome for him and the two returned to
Atlanta Sunday night. His first an
nouncement upon reaching Atlanta was
that he Intended taking his own life,
but hlB cheerfulness did not Indicate
that he meant it.
During the hot morning of yesterday
hts nerves failed him and a complete
breakdown was Imminent His sister
took him for a car ride out to the
Chattahoochee rtver and while there he
made his first attempt to end his life,
but was thwarted by his sister. His
second attempt was made while he was
in his office in the Empire building.
This time Dr. Hubs prevented his leap
ing from the office window, but as they
left the room to catch an elevator the
deranged men succeeded in leaping
headforemost through a court window.

PART OF THf SEABOARD
8, Davies Warfield, the Baltimore
capitalist, who has just purchased the
control of the Seaboard Air Line, has
been told that the erroneous impression
prevails in Atlanta that there was a
direct connection between the Southern
Settlement and Development Company,
of Baltimore, and the purchase of the
railroad.
He has wired to Atlanta saying that
he never such a statement, that
there is no connection and that the
supposed erroneous impression must
have been inadventently given by who
ever furnished the statement which ap
peared in a morning paper.
“The development association.” he
says, “is entirely Independent of any
railroad and is a voluntary association
supported by voluntary contributions
on the parts of states, railroads and
individuals for the general development
of the entire South.”

Carriers Told to Pass Up the
Houses Where Vicious
Brutes Run Loose.
Mail carriers in Atlanta have called
on government officials for protection
from vicous dogs. The authorities are
going to see that everything possible is
done to save troSsers and prevent pain
ful injuries from canine teeth, and As
sistant Postmaster Coles announced
today that no more mail will be deliv-
at homes where dangerous dogs
are allowed their freedom.
The decision came following injuries
received today by Carrier Stroud on
East Linden street. He was severely
bitten by a bulldog and fears rabies.
Little more than two weeks ago Al
ver A. Thomas, carrier in West End.
was bitten by a dog, and after the an
imal had been killed and the head ex
amined by state officials in the Pas
teur department it was found the dog
had rabies. Physicians announced that
Mr. Thomas is in danger of having an
attack of it and are giving Ijim treat
ment. A number of other carriers have
been bitten recently.
“If people do not care enough for the
public safety to do away with vicious
dogs or even chain them in a secluded
part of their yards, the government is
not very anxious to deliver their mail,”
said Mr. Coles today.
“The postal regulations provide that
carriers do not have to deliver it at
houses where such dogs are kept, and
they positively will not do so in Atlan
ta hereafter. It is either get rid of the
dogs or do without the carrier’s serv
ices.”
