DEFEATED IN FIST FIGHT, M’ELVEEN IS HERO Cracker Infielder Set Upon by John Dobbs and Members of Montgomery Team. Crying Til get you or those stories you’ve told' about me,” John Dobbs, backed by three members of the Mont gomery ball club which he manages, attacked T. M. McElveen, third base man of the Atlanta ball club, in front of the Aragon hotel at 8:50 last night ln d gave him a severe beating. Dobbs and his cohorts, who had come to the Aragon for the anouneed purpose of giving McElveen a thrash ing. found the Cracker ball player sated in front of- the hotel. With a concerted attack, ’Kid” Elberfleld, a n,ember of the Montgomery club and i scrapper whose prowess is recog nized through three leagues, kicked the iim ir from under McElveen, while Dobbs struck the sitting man full in the face, it was a tremendous blow, delivered with the full force of trained mu-cles, and it caught McElveen un guarded and went home with a crash and stunned the Atlantan. In an instant the fighting became general. McElveen, seeing he had no nance against such odds and stunned by the blow, fought back bravely as he retreated into the hotel. Dobbs kept after him and the struggling players -harged into the hotel. Ry this time McElveen was badly battered and Dobbs, fearing arrest, whirled and rushed down Peachtree street, just as loe Aglet', first baseman of the Crack er team, appeared with reinforcements In the shape of a bartender, armed with a useful bottle. McElveen was helped to his room, and after a bad night is not much the worse for the beating. The police, after an investigation, "rested Dobbs. Norman Elberfleld. Joe Rills and Raleigh Aitchison. Dobbs and Elberfleld were placed under SSO bond and Bills and Aitchison were given copies of charges and notified lo appear in police court Saturday morning. ''Unjustified.” Says McElveen. McElveen was located in his room a' the Aragon this morning and gave his version of the affair. Said McEl veen. 'There is absolutely no reason in the world why Dobbs should have attacked ■ We never had any trouble while I was a member of the Montgomery team, nor since then, either." He is just jealous 'cause you made soud with Atlanta after he let you go. Id give S6O if I had been there.” in 'erposed Shortstop Harbison. McEl veen's oommate at the Aragon. Dobbs. Elberfeld.

"Lupo the Wolf.” once leader of the most daring criminals in America. Is the most thoroughly guarded prisoner in the Federal penitentiary today as a result of two efforts made to teach him f in his cell by confederates planning ! the assassination of the detectives who ” put him behind the bars.

District Attorney Smith, United States Judge George Ray and half a dozt t. others of the New York authorities who hunted and imprisoned the Mafia chief "Lupo the Wolf" has 23 years of . 25-year term to serve in the Federa prison, tn another cell is his chief lieu tenant, Giuseppe Morello. 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 lie 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. j. Morrello Also Vows Vengeance. When Morrello was nabbed a little, later after a desperate battle in a Nev, York den he. too. vowed that Flynn must die and with him the secret -ei - vice men who tore the gun and knives ; from his hands and dragged him away! unconscious to the Tombs. More than all this Lupo wants re- ‘ venge upon the spies of Flynn's secret | service staff who. after years of dan-I gcrous work, succeeded in getting into [ the councils of the Mafia band, made | themselves Mafiaists and then tipped i off their chief when the moment camel to make the captures. Lupo iia.s framed the revenge plot • in his cell at the Federal prison, tin. i secret service men think and it is I believed he sooner or later will seek I to gain some word with his lieuten- I ants, still at large, to give them or- ■ I ders. The authorities have arranged | I thai no man shall see him in the prison ' who might even inadvertantly carry some inkling of that plot to the out- . side world. v Lupo never is allowed to speak even with Morrello unless a guard is with J them. His letters to and from the prison are investigated as zealously as 1 though he might try to send a message in invisible ink or written with orange 1 peel.

SUGGESTS SOUTHERN SCHOOLS FOR DEAF TEACH_LIP READING Dr. Dunbar Roy today made the sug gestion that in case a school for the deaf is made part of the public school system, as has been advocated, only the most modern methods of teaching be adopted, and that the deaf children be taught the science of lip reading. The newest and most practical meth od of teaching deaf children Is through lip reading, according to Dr. Roy. The old method of the sign language Is be ing rapidly superseded by the one adopted from a scientific study of deaf people, and in not having adopted the new system or any system at all the schools In this section are far behind those of the North and East, says the Atlanta physician.

SAYS HE HAS PLEDGES OF FINANCIAL HELF Slaton's Great Lead Believed tc Have Influenced Decision. His Statement. Attorney General Thomas S. Folder today announced his determination not to enter the race for governor and dispelled the expectations of hundreds who had been looking for an old-fash ioned Smith-Brown factional battle. The attorney general, who had been in conference with friends for many days past, declared In a formal state ment that he considered it too late to get into the fight now. Mr. Felder declared he had been as sured of much financial support. He made no reference to any of his rivals, but the great lead which John M. Sla ton is conceded to nave in the race probably ha<T much to do with influ encing his- decision. Here is Mr. Felder's announcement: Believes Time Too Short for Campaign. To My Friends Throughout the State; For some fiionths past I have been urged by> friends in all sec tions of Georgia to make the race for governor, but had not serious ly considered the matter from the simple fact that I was without the means to defray the xpenses of a— campaign. Within the past few days, however, ardent friends at home and in other parts of the state have guaranteed to raise aM the funds needed and are strongly Insisting upon mv entering the race. They are satisfied I can win. The matter has thus reached s point where I have not only to con sider it, but to declare my decision. After mature consideration. I have decided not to become a can didate for the governorship. I reach this conclusion because I am convinced that it is now too lata within tlie limited time before me. to organize and conduct a cam paign. F must recognize, too. that many of my friends are already committed to one or the other of the two candidates now in the field. I can not bring myself to enter this rave, the expense of which is to be borne by my friends, unless I felt confident of the result. I b»g all my friends to believe that I am profoundly grateful for the generous interest they have shown in my political fortunes. T. S. FELDER.
