BLACKS FILL JAIL
AFTER WILD NIGHT
Police Court Overflows With
Darkies Who Celebrate Jack
Johnson’s Victory.
Judge Broyles’ court room overflow
id todav with denizens of Darkfown
who had celebrated Independence Day
with a too liberal absorption of pa
triotism and beer. On the floor below
the long rows of cells bulged with still
numbering victims of blind tiger corn,

celebration with a razor in his hand,
and when he met his wife at the doot
with her baby in her arms he carved
both of them so freely that they were
sent to the hospital. Thomas is locked
up with a charge of assault to commit
murder registered against him. One or
two negroes were shot in general free
for-all mix-ups in the suburbs, and
the doctors had many callers who
walked In to have a head bandaged
or a out sewed up. But the Grady
physicians believe none will die.
The Fourth was singularly lucky so
far as fireworks were concerned. There
wasn’t a case of flreworks injury at
Grady, nor a Roman candle blaze on
the fire department record. The night
ambulance calls at Grady were only
twelve, against 400 on the Fourth a
year ago. But what the celebration
lacked in injuries, It made up in dis
order, for Recorder Broyles found 105
cases on his police docket when he
opened court. It was far in the day
when he had sent up the last offender
for thirty days in the stockade, and
the afternoon session promised to be
equally as long.

"Did you ever try- to follow an undvr

man who came into The Georgian of
fice without an umbrella, yet not half
as wet as he might have been. •‘Well,
I’ve just made it for part of the way,
and I believe if I had time I could
have kept nearly dry on my way down
here.
“Os course, you’ve got to cross the
streets in the open, but there are un

left the Forsyth building without an
umbrella. I faced the rain to the post
office door, turned in and followed the
corridor around to the Walton street
side. Then I ran across the street, into
the back door of a refreshment stand
and went out its front door. I hurried
across Forsyth street and into the
Grant building. I crossed the block to
the Broad street exit, dashed across
and into the Empire building. I emerg
ed at the Marietta street door, dash
ed across to the Third National, and
out its rear door. There was no way
to get cover on the viaduct, but a short
trot took me to the back door of the
Kress store, and I went through that
to the Whitehall exit. Then a dash
across into the Atlanta National, down
the elevator to the basement, and I
emerged in Alabama street and only
three jumps from The Georgian’s door.
I believe I made half my journey un
der cover.
"Now If anybody can tel] me an un
der-roof route from here to the Ter
minal station I’d be much obliged.’’
LOVESICiTGiRTSENDS
BULLET THROUGH HEART
ALLENTOWN, PA., July s.—Because
her parents objected to the attentions
of a young man whom she loved, Beu
lah Kline, aged eighteen, shot herself
In the heart. She was found when her
parents returned from Allentown, ly

of blood with the shotgun grasped in
her hand.
Miss Kline is described as an unusual
ly preity girl. About a year ago while
attending a Sunday school picnic she
met a young man with whom she be
came infatuated. The young man, it is
said, returned the affection, but the
girl’s parents objected to their daugh
ter receiving him at their home.
BOY BITTEN BY SNAKE

BLOOMSBURG, PA., July 5.—A cop

had escaped the teeth of a mowing

son of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Wenner, of
Stillwater, today. The driver of the
mowing machine came to the boy’s res
cue and killed the snake. The boy’s
leg began to swell, but a rural phone
and an automobile enabled a physician
to quickly reach the child and adminis

will save his IK*.

STATE’S EFFORTS TO
KEEP THAW PRISONER
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.. July s.—Dr.
Carlos McDonald was again called to
day when the hearing into the sanity
of Harry K. Thaw was resumed be
fore Justice Keogh here.
Dr. McDonald was cross-examined by
Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for Thaw.
With the finishing of the cross-exami
nation of Dr. McDonald the state will
rest its case. The defense is said to
have several noted alienists who are
ready to combat the testimony already
given ‘for the state. The cross-exami
nation was in the nature of hypotheti
cal questions.
William Jerome, for the state, pro
tested against many of these, but a
majority of his objections were over
ruled.
