EDISON OFFICERS
GLOSELY WATCH
MAFIACHIEF
Plot to Avenge Imprisonment of
Lupo the Wolf in Federal
Penitentiary Feared.
■ Lupo the Wolf.” once leader of the
mos t daring criminals in America, is
the most thoroughly guarded prisoner
]n the federal penitentiary today as a
result of two efforts made to reach him
in his cell by confederates planning
the 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 plotte*d,
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 Flynr.
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 Tombs.
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 framed 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 inkling 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
the authorities have never dreamed of
before.
Meanwhile, biding his time some
where in this countiy 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
twelve years ago in cold blood one night
when he refused to join the Wolfs
foieign vendetta. Lupo fled his native
country before the brother could reach
him with the knife he has carried for
that purpose since the slaying of his
brother. Dispatches from New York
saj this Sicilian is so desperate in his
eterrnination to have his revenge upon
the Wolf that he has told friends he
''id come to Atlanta in the hope that.

■ ' a chief while he still is a prisoner

BURSTING OF AUTO TIRE HURLS
YOUTH INTO MESHES OF CUPID
Nurse Heals Patient’s Broken Limb,
But His Heart Becomes Affected.
When Miss Kathleen Mitchelson, the pretty daughter of
Mrs. William Mitchelson. of 109 Thirty-eighth street, west.
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, hut 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 Is 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 him 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 vigorqusly at the
return trip.
During the interval at Waynesboro, Jones had done some considerable
thinking. The conclusion was to the effect that Miss Mitchelson was as nec
essary to him hs 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 had reached one of those understandings that bring happi-
ness always to two young hearts.
Jones had obtained the young wo

DALTON. GA.. July 5.—T. A. Mclntyre
has come forward to save the Whitfield

and no one had volunteered to act as
coroner. The other races were all closed
tight, but this was, of necessity, left open.
Four days after the close of entries Mr.
Mclntyre volunteered his services. The
committee immediately ordered entries
closed and will make his election unani

nan’s consent to marry him—condi
tionally. The condition was that she
was to conclude her course of train
ing. but the girl promised that on the
day she received her diploma as a
trained nurse she would throw what
ever ambition she had in the direction
of her profession to the winds and be
come Mrs. Jones.
Weds on Graduation Day,
Miss Mitchelson was graduated as a
nurse on Saturday, March 23. Early
in the morning she received hgr sheep
skin from the Pine Heights sanita
rium. At noon on the same day she
donned the beautiful wedding gown
that had been made for her in Savan
nah, and became Mrs. Sidney Carswell
Jones.
When Miss Mitchelson promised to
wed Mr. Jones on the day she would
be graduated she had, however, for
gotten one little detail. This was that
the day of her graduation would come
in the midst of the Lenten season. She
could not very well wed In Lent, as
she is a consistent member of the
Catholic church. From the church au
thorities the young woman received a
special dispensation, allowing her to
be married in Lent. Thus the last ob
stacle was removed, and the wedding
took place as scheduled in the parson
age of the Sacred Heart church, in Au
gusta, with the Rev. Father Sherry as
the celebrant.
Miss Mitchelson. whose home was in
Savannah before she left for Augusta
to enter the profession in which she
has been engaged for the past three
years, has a mother, sisters and severa,
brothers in Savannah. Her mother is
Mrs. William Mitchelson, and her sis
ters'are Mrs. Robert Foster and Miss
Lulu Mitchelson.
FEDERAL’JUDGE ACTS
AS UMPIRE, SETTLING
RAILWAY WAGE FIGHT
ASHE\ ILLE, N. C., July s.—Federal
Judge Jeter C. Pritchard, as arbitrator,
has granted increases in wages to cer
tain classes of Southern railway em
ployees, in one instance granting the
raise asked by the men and in another
ordering the Increase offered by the
company. This is the second decision
of this kind on record where a Federal
judge, as arbitrator, has settled wage
controversies. By Judge Pritchard’s
ruling, foremen of section, yard, extra,
bridge, carpenter, concrete and painting
crews get $3 more per month, where
they asked for $4. Assistant foremen,
bridge and tunnel laborers, shaft
workmen, carpenters, masons, painters
and pile-driving engineers get $7.50 per
month raise, where the company offered
$5. J. S. B. Thompson, of Atlanta, for
the railway company, and T. H. Terry,
of Walnut Grove, N. C., for the em
ployees, were unable to agree and se
lected Judge Pritchard as umpire, he
deciding the contentions. The new
wage scales apply from May 1, 1912, to
June 30, 1913.
ANOTHER AUTO, FIFTH
IN 2 WEEKS, STOLEN;
SUSPECT JOY RIDERS
The police today are searching for
the automobile of Dr. B. S. 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 M’arAegie 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.

UNPAID ALIMONY
UNDER HAMMER
Block of Claims for $28,445,
Due From Millionaire, Brings
SIOO at Auction.
NEW YORK, July 5. —"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 witli 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 Wail
Street takes to the new stock.
