PETITION URGES
DESERTION Li
Citizens of Marietta and Cobb
County Ask Legislature to
Pass Reform Measure.
More t|jan 150 citizens of Marietta
and Cobb county, at the instance of
Rev. Edward S. Doan, rector of St.
James Episcopal church, have signed a
petition to the legislature urging the |
passage of the bill providing penalties j
for wife desertion and particularly in
dotsing that section of the bill which
provides that the deserted wife or
children shall be paid a sum equal to
the wages earned by the prisoner while
he is in penitentiary or road gang. The
bill was introduced in the house last
week, and is one of the 1 eform meas
ures which has behind it the influence
of Philip Weltner, solicitor of the ju
venile court, and other Georgians who
have studied the prison system.
The Rev. Mr. Doan points out in a
letter to The Georgian today the piti
ful condition in which a family often
is left when husband and father is sent
to the chaingang for a merited offense.
“We think that the state, in the solu
tion of this vexed problem. which
usually entails so much suffering, pov
erty and hardship upon poor women
and little children, should look upon
this matter from a broad, humane
standpoint, and extend relief to women
and children so situated who are not
responsible for their unfortunate con
dition,” said Mr. Doan. "We urge our
representatives from Cobb county to
place women and children above dol
lars and cents in this vital matter and
vote accordingly.
"I understand there is some danger
of cutting out this humane section jf
the bill, and so I have undertaken to do
my little part, as this petition shows,
with its 152 signers, to emphasize the
importance cf that portion to those
who are really the great sufferers in
the matter. For humanity's sake, poor
broken-down, discouraged women and
the cry of want and hunger from little
children should certainly weigh more
than any loose, heartless talk about
'who is to pay for it?’ or ‘will it in
crease taxes?' or ‘won’t some designing
women take advantage of ihat sec
tion'” Let the legislature safeguard
and protect all that is vital in the
bill, but for God’s sake and the sake of
wom»n and children, let’s be big
enough to stand by them in dire dis
stress.”
DREAMS OF “MAIDS
TO ROCKEFELLERS”
RUDELY SHATTERED
When Ella McElveen and Josie Simp
son, negro servants, accepted jobs a
week ago as “maids to the Rockefeller
family," they felt a» if they had found
a gold mine.
When they told Recorder Broyles all
about it today, they felt worse than the
proverbial 30 cents. For their dream
was rudely jarred when they found they
had been slim-slammed and that they
were out $11.50. They declared Joe
Wright, a negro dog peddler, was the
artist who duped them, and Judge
Broyles bound Wright over to the state
courts in bond of SSOO on the charge
of cheating and swindling.
The women said Wright told them
that they would be expected to travel
with the Rockefellers, who then were
in Atlanta, and that the first stop would
be New York. He said they would go I
from* there to the Flynn-Johnson fight. |
The Rockefellers always required their
maids to be Insured, however, and this
would cost $4 each. Another $1.50
would be required to purchase a big
suit case for each maid. The women
ga've up $5.50 each.

Following the request of the appro

..’A
Mrs. F. J. Seymour, champion tennis player. She is over 60
years old and prescribes tennis for all girls who would keep
healthy and happy.
Mrs. Seymour,Famous in Many
Court Contests, Still Plays
Great Game.
"If you would add years to your life
and years to your youth, play tennis.”
That is the creed of Mrs. F. J. Sey
mour. the woman of sixty-odd years
who is the most remarkable amateur
athlete in America, and Just now the
toast of the Southern Tennis associa
tion enthusiasts at East Lake, where, in
spite of her age and the sthrs pitted
against her, she won seven consecutive
games and with them the champion
ship cup which goes to the victors in
the mixed doubles.
Mrs. Seymour is a grandmother, and
proud of it; but she seems far nearer
25 than 60. Her eyes sparkle; she
hasn’t trace of a wrinkle, her cheeks
are tinted as rosily as those of a
girl eighteen, and to see her flash
here and in the mazes of a set
upon the courts one stares in astonish
ment at the little streams of silver in
her hair, which seems prematurely
gray.
“Ail tennis.” said Mrs. Seymour by
way of explanation. “It s kept me
young, it’s kept me happy; it’s won me
many honors and brimmlig health and
many friends. That’s why I say girls
should play tennis. And. if they have
any constitution they should play it
with al! their souls and bodies and
learn to love it, and they'll never re
gret it.
Partner of Champion Renshaw,
“Why, I’ve been playing tennis so
long that I don’t care to tell you how
long. But you can get some idea when
you remember that I used to play in
the doubles with Will Renshaw when
he was champion in England, and he
and I culled some cups together in
those old days.
Mrs. Seymour has not only been play,
ing ever since, but she’s the fairy god
mother of this particular sport in this
country. It was she who taught May
Sutton her wonderful science of rac
quet and ball, and it was she who ac
companied Miss Sutton all over this
country, playing with her in doubles,
coaching her in singles, until she capped
the climax by seeing her pupil win that
famous triumph over all Europe.
Though she won't admit it, Mrs. Sey
mour has financed a dozen tennis clubs
at great tournaments throughout the
country. Her present particular pride
is the Nashville tennis team, of which
her son-in-law, A. B. Newell, head of
the Tennessee Central railroad, is the
president.
STORY & CLARK PIANO
GOES TO FAR BRAZIL
While home on a furlough to this

61 N. Eorsyth street. This instrument
will be shipped to Brazil upon Mr. Hun

sales throughout the South,* but that
this is the first one to go out >f the

SeFelopS
AND IS KTEII
After a two days search in Atlanta,
A. L. Given, the married man who
eloped from Montgomery with pretty
Mary Lee, was found and arrested this
morning in a boarding house at 59
Carroll street. When Given admitted
to the police that he was a married
man tne girl fainted.
She went back home today with her
gray-haired stepfather, T. M. Beck, who
had come from Montgomery to find her
and run down the man who had de
ceived her.
Given admitted that he was a biga
mist and he was locked up until an
officer from Alabama can arrive to take
him back for trial.
Three days ago the girl and the man
disappeared from the Beck home in
Montgomery. The aged stepfather in
vestigated. because he had been told
that in Opelika, Ala., Given already had
a wife and four little tots. Further in
vestigation showed his stepdaughter
had married the man she ran away
with, and, believing that they would
come to Atlanta, he hurried here to find
them.
Boy Gives Officers Tip.
Early this morning the old man, with
Officers Dobbs and Hannah, set nut
upon the search. They were standing
at a street corner, discussing the better
way to go, for they had no trace of
either man or girl, when a small boy,
who overheard them, told tnem that he
could tell them where to find the ones
they wanted. He led them to the Car
roll street house. They routed Given
out of bed and accused him of the
bigamy. He admitted the crime and
said he had told the girl that his wife
was dead two years and that he had no
children.
The girl, listening at the bed room
door, overheard him. She fell to the
floor in a dead faint and the officers had
to send for a physician to bring her
back to consciousness.
Her stepfather forgave her when she
told him how she had been deceived.
Given waived requisition.

Mentioned as One of Four Di

President’s Campaign.
WASHINGTON, July B.—The real
management of the Republican cam
paign for tfie election of Taft, it is
said, will be vested in five men repre
senting respectively the New England
states. New the Middle West, the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast states
and the South.
Headquarters for these divisions
probably will be Boston, New York,
Chicago. Denver and either Atlanta or
Washington.
The majority of the members of the
subcommittee of the national commit
tee favor Harry M. Daugherty, of Ohio,
for chairman of the Republican national
committees for the next four years. The
subcommittee, after determining this
fact, adjourned its preliminary session
shortly before noon today to attend
luncheon at the white house and con
fer with the president.
Aside from discussing the possible
chairman, the subcommittee served no
tice on Judge Priestly, Roosevelt sup
porter from Oklahoma, and erstwhile
member of the national committee, that
if he continues his opposition to the
president he will be deposed in favor of
James Harris, the Taft man selected
by the members of the Oklahoma dele
gation who refused to bolt.

AFTER AN OPERATION
WAYCROSS, GA July B.—Tim Mer
cer. who was shot by his father a few
weeks ago near Hoboken, is gradually
recovering and may In time recover the
use of his lower limbs entirely. An
operation has just been performed on
him, whereby the bone fragments that
have been pressing the spinal column
were removed. His wound Is almost
identical with that of Eugene Grace, of
Atlanta. The bullet, which struck him
in the back, was removed some days
ago Mercer’s father killed his wife
and himself at the same time the
younger Mercer was shot.
PATTERSON SPEAKS IN COBB.
MARIETTA, GA., July B.—H. N. Pat

the Blue Ridge circuit, opened his cam

Springe. A large crowd heard Mr. Pat
terson and his speech was well re

CITY PRIMARY IB
TO BE HELD UTE ■
Aiderman John S. Candler or
Aldine Chambers Expected
to Get Into the Race.
John Y. Smith, chairman of the city
Democratic executive committee, said
today he would call a meeting of the
committee for about July 15 to name
the date for the city primary. As this
action will begin the campaign for
mayor of Atlanta, some of the mem
bers of the committee are opposed even
to calling a meeting of the committee
until after the gubernatorial primary
of August 21.
These members say the state and
county primary will furnish enough
politics without the numerous contests
for city offices. But as there are four
or five candidates for mayor already in
the field Mayor Winn, Aiderman John
E. McClelland, Dr. George Brown,
Steve R. Johnston and possibly James
G. Woodward — : the possibility of a
secopd city primary is strong, for it
takes a majority to nominate a mayor.
It is urge! on the committee that if
the primary date is.not set until after
the state primary, there will not be suf
ficient time for campaigning.
Mr. Smith said the date of the city
primary this year probably would be
the latter part of September or the first
of October.
Alderman McClelland declared he be
lieved either Aiderman John S. Candler
or Councilman Aldine Chambers would
ultimately enter the race.
LAST BUILDING OF
HEPHZIBAH ORPHANS
HOME BURNS DOWN
MACON. GA., July B.—The last re

fire three times -within two weeks, was
burned to the ground Saturday after
noon. Two weeks ago the main build
ing' and chapel were destroyed, and
then several days afterward two cot
tages went up in smoke. The last fire
gutted the remaining dormitory cot
tage, as a deal was being closed in a
downtown office for the sale of the
property, so that the orphanage can be
rebuilt in another section of the eflty.
The total loss of the fires is about $25,-
