Chowning, q." ’O3 Washington St., Atlanta, - 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. EPWORTH LEAGUERS CLOSE CONFERENCE AT ST. PAUL CHURCH The annual convention of the Ep worth leagues of the North Georgia conference closed a three days session at St. Pauls Methodist church last night. Bishop J. C.

Following the request of the appro priations committee of the house the governor will furnish a report on the condition of the state’s finances, show ing that expenses of the legislature can be paid without borrowing money. Treasurer Speer said today that SIIO,OOO ,pow reposed safely in the state’s strong box. and although war rants for $60,000 would be issued against this during the week, that the expenses of the legislature, aggregating about $70,000. could be paid in August without seeking outside funds. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS MONDAY, JULY 8, 1912. Woman, 60, Stars With Racquet URGESGIRLS PLAY TEN NIS MV" m O IL .41 B : ' ■f/w Vy V Vi i W| ,N<> : IS 111 M'oH Hl' \ \ \ w All f I lira™ 1 I ..’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 country last week, Benjamin H Hun nicutt, director of the Presbyterian Ag ricultural college, at Lavras Minas, Brazil, South America, purchased a player-piano of Story & Clark’s branch. 61 N. Eorsyth street. This instrument will be shipped to Brazil upon Mr. Hun nicut's return. W M. Taylor, Story & Clark's sales manager, states that his establishment has had many inquiries and made many sales throughout the South,* but that this is the first one to go out >f the Atlanta branch to a foreign country since the opening a month ago. • •(>•••••• ••••••••••• •John D< Is73Today; • •When He's 100 Hell- • Have $1440,000,000 • • • • CLEVELAND, July B.—John D. • • Rockefeller, the world’s richest • • man, is celebrating his seventy- • • third birthday today.

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.

ATLANTA MAY BE W fl CAMP Mentioned as One of Four Di visional Headquarters in the 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. youth; injured like GRACE, IS RECOVERING 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 terson, of Cumming. Ga., who is oppos ing Judge N. A. Morris for judge of the Blue Ridge circuit, opened his cam paign in Cobb county at Powder Springe. A large crowd heard Mr. Pat terson and his speech was well re ceived. 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 maining cottage of the Hephzibah Or phans home, which has been visited by 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,- 000.
