PRISON OFFICERS CLOSELY WOO MAFIA CHIEF Plot to Avenge Imprisonment of Lupo the Wolf in Federal Penitentiary Feared. Lupo the'Wolf,” once' leader of the most daring criminals in America, is most thoroughly guarded prisoner m the Federal penitentiary today as a* . suit of two efforts made to reach him his cell by confederates planning t ;,.. assassination of the detectives who put him behind the bars. Warden Moyer had been warned that Lupo and his band of assassins are plotting to take revenge upon Secret Service Detective William J. Flynn, District Attorney Smith. United States judge George Ray and half a dozen others of the New York authorities who hunted and imprisoned the Mafia chief. "Lupo the Wolf” has 23 years of a 25-year term to serve, in the Federal prison In another cell is his chief lieu tenant. Gieuseppe Morrello. The prison authorities know that neither man in tends to serve that sentence if away of escape can be successfully plotted, the plot to be carried out by the hun dred-odd members of their band still at liberty. The Wolf’s band terrorized the North and much of Europe for years. But dispatches from New York say that Lupo’s friends are bent upon re venging his conviction even while they await the opportunity of his escape. Lupo, on his way to Atlanta, vowed that before he died he would “get” Flynn, who with a score of men, ar rested him in a farm house at High land. N. Y., where he was caught coun terfeiting. Morrello Also Vows Vengeance. When Morrello was nabbed a little later after a desperate battle in a New York den he, too, vowed that Flynn must die and with him the secret ser vice men who tore the gun and knives from his hands and dragged him away unconscious to the Tornbs. More than all this Lupo wants re venge upon the spies of Flynn's secret service staff who. after years of dan gerous work, succeeded in getting into the councils of the Mafia band, made themselves Mafiaists and then tipped off their chief when the moment came to make the captures. Lupo ’has fda met! the revenge plot in his cell at the Federal prison, the secret service men think and it is believed, he sooner or later will seek to gain some word with his lieuten ants, still at large, to give them or ders. The authorities have arranged that no man shall see him in the prison who might even inadvertently carry some inkjing of’that plot to the out side world. Lupo never is allowed to speak even with Morrello unless a guard is with them. His letters to and from the prison are investigated as zealously as though he might try to send a message in invisible ink or written with orange peel. If he lives to serve out his prison sentence every moment of his day and night in prison will be as closely guarded. Plotters Must Use New Ruse. If he succeeds in sending forth his plans for revenge or rescue it must be done by some means that criminals or 'he authorities have never dreamed of before. Meanwhile, biding' his time, some where in this country is a Sicilian who has sworn he will have the life of Lupo the Wolf” the moment the Mafia chief quits the Atlanta prison. Lupo killed this man’s brother in Sicily 'weive years ago in cold blood one night 'hen he refused to join the Wolf’s foreign vendetta. Lupo fled his native ■ ountry before the brother could reach him with the knife he has carried for 'hat purpose since the slaying of his brother. Dispatches from New York ‘■ay this Sicilian is so desperate in his termination to have his revenge upon ,lr ' Wolf that he has told friends he , ome to Atlanta in the hope that ' ‘ may find an opportunity to slay the 'I itia chief while he still is a prisoner 'he Federal prison.

Savannah, and Sidney Carswell Jones, of Waynesboro, were married in Augusta several weeks ago all except their most intimate friends saw nothing more in it than the usual love match, but these few intimates knew that a burst automobile tire was largely responsible for the pret ty romance of sunny Georgia. Early in November. Carswell, who Is in the automobile business in Waynesboro, was skimming along some of the fine roads of Burke county in his machine. When about three miles from Waynesboro a tire burst, and he was thrown out of the automobile with such violence that his leg was broken. He was taken to the Pine Heights hos pital. in Augusta, for treatment, and there he found Miss Mitchelson, engaged as a nurse. She appeared even more than attractive to Mr. Jones as, arrayed in her cap and uniform, she attended to him while the troublesome broken limb was mending. It soon became evident that there was something the matter with Jones other than a hurt leg. He had developed a very serious affection of the heart, and his demure little nurse, instead of contributing to the cure of this, only aggravat ed the trouble. Mr. Jones Finds He 1$ Hit Hard. It did not take Jones long to discover that he was hard hit, and it was with some sorrow and a good deal of re luctance that he listened to the verdict of the physicians to the effect that his wound had healed sufficiently to ad mit of his going back to Waynesboro. Jones found that he needed a nurse to minister to him for the balance of his life, and. more wonderful still, that Miss Mitchelson would just about fill the bill. The doctors, however, with romance long dead in their breasts, bundled hint back to Waynesboro without more ado. A few weeks at home, however, showed him that he had left the hospital entirely too soon. His injury had not wholly healed, and he had to be taken back to Augusta. It Is not recorded that he protested very vigorously at the return trip. During the interval at Waynesboro. Jones had done thinking. The conclusion was to the effect that Miss Mite essary to him as the breath of life. Before he was dismissed from the hos pital the second time he had told the girl the trouble and suggested the cure, and they hgd reached one of those understandings that bring happi ness always to two young hearts. Jones had obtained the young wt TEXAS ffliN 15 CLUB PRESIDENT Mrs. Pennypacker, of Texas, Defeats Mrs. Carpenter, of New York, for Honor.

Moore, of 823 Candler building, the fifth auto to disappear from the streets within the past two weeks. The car of Dr. M. L. Boyd, of 422 Candler building, was also stolen last night, but was later found several blocks away, where it had been discarded. Both of these autos were driven away from in front of the Carnegie library. The remaining three cars have been re covered. The police believe that the cars are stolen by persons with a penchant for joy riding, and that there is no intention of disposing of them. W' WOwaag-wMawteS . ■■ Y::|.

Brings SIOO at Auction. NEW YORK. July s.—“ Alimony de ferred” probably will be listed on the Wall Street curb in a few days. It made its first bid for recognition when it was placed under the hammer by an auctioneer in bankruptcy, who sold a claim for $28,445. Alex D. Cantor, of 10 Wall street, was the Wall Street per son willing to take a chance. He bid SIOO for the lot and it was knocked down to him. Os course, Mr. Cantor can't eat a claim for deferred alimony any more than he can anay other stock. He has two chances. One is to place it in his safe and wait for a rising market, and the other is to split the lot into small shares and throw it onto the curb some day when he runs no chance of having it classed in the “cats and dogs.” With “Alimony deferred” there prob ably could come along "Alimony pros pective, "Alimony common” and “Ali mony guaranteed," the price of the stock depending largely, of course, upon how much of it there Is on the mar ket and the rating of the person whose name is attached as the payee. How Stock Got in Market. Some months ago Ethel S. Elliott, former wife of John Love Elliott, went into bankruptcy. Mrs. Elliott owed a lot of money, and the only asset she possessed was the unpaid alimony which Mr. Elliott owed to her. Nathan Wolkof, the trustee, decided it was salable, and so Charles Shongood, a United States auctioneer, said: “How much am I bid?” Mr. Cantor, a pro gressive in speculation, bid SIOO, and the claim for $28,445 was knocked down to him. Mrs. Elliott was a singer, and left the stage, where she was known as Ethel Irene Stewart, to become a wife. For seven years she lived with the mil lionaire and then quietly divorced him in 1907. It was said she was to receive $20,000 a year alimony. .Mr. ’Elliott a few days later married Miss Laura Moore, the singing teacher of his wife, and sailed for Europe. This block of $28,445 Elliott Deferred Alimony is not all that Mrs. Elliott will be able to turn loose. She probably will accumulate more of it; so she is vitally interested in the manner In which Wall Street takes to the new stock. PRIZE FIGHT MAKES DARROW LAWYER ILL; VACATION FOR JURY LOS ANGELES.
