Brown Not En thusiastic Over Bungalows or Cottages of Today. It will take more than a squatty bun galow. a rose-bowered cottage or even a pretentious country house to convince Mrs. Joseph M. Brown that any habita tion is cooler In midsummer than the old fashioned Southern mansion. To the first lady of Georgia the old Southern home with its high hall cut through the center, its vaulted ceilings, its lofty windows that can be thrown wide to spacious porches when the sun is down and drawn against the noonday glare spells the last word in summer comfort. Mrs. Brown is nothing If not old fash ioned. She thinks of sleeping porches in terms of neuralgia and connects summer diets with dyspepsia She much prefers the tall coot rooms of the executive man sion and sugar-cured hams from the gov ernor's Cherokee county farm "Why. 1 couldn't give you any spe cific recipe for keeping a house cool in the summer time," said Mrs. Brown, when the question that will engross Atlantans sot the next few months was ventured. "Modern" Homes Hot. "The governor's mansion is an old fashioned house and it is so easy to keep cool that I have hardly given the question a thought. Then our home in Marietta is built on old-fashioned lines with thick walls and high ceilings, and it is very little trouble to keep it cool.” As Mrs Brown spoke she stood in the reception room of the executive mansion at Peachtree and Cain streets. The shades were drawn against the rays of the afternoon sun, but the room, which should have been the hottest in the house, was easilt 8 degrees cooler than the street. "The problem of keeping a house cool in the summer is a modern one.” con tinued the governors wife. "Nowadays people put up a house with thin walls, low rooms and little w indows. Os course, such a house will be hot "I eould ne'er believe a bungalow is cool unless the wind Is blowing, because it is so tow." Mrs. Brown is not an enthusiast over (lie sleeping porch fad. To her the out of-doors chamber presents visions of neu ralgia and other little ills which abound in damp weather The governor, too. she said, preferred a roof over his head and four walis around him for real sleep. Sleeping Porch for Children. "I imagine a sleeping porch would be fine for children. In fact, the governor has built one on the farm for ours" Rut one does not need a sleeping porch to be cool in Atlanta if the nouse is built for comfort. But Mrs. Brown has no list of rules for keeping her dwelling at a comforta ble temperature She keeps her house n order and cool because it is easy and natural sot her to do so. Her domesticity is an instinct and npt an art She admits that she Is old-fashioned and la's claim to simplicity as her most visible virtue. "There isn't any rule about these tilings. " she concluded. "Every woman should know how to keep her house cool. It is merely a matter of common sense 'Vitli a properly constructed house, it is no trouble at all " FIVE CANDIDATES IN TROUP. LAGRANGE GA .

GUARD AT ASTOR GRAVE DOUBLED Friends of Titanic Victim’s Family Concerned in Recent Increase in Precautions. NEW YORK, July B.—Friends of the late John Jacob Astor are greatly con cerned over the fact that guards at his tomb in Trinity cemetery have been doubled. The body of Colonel Astor was brought to this city on May 4 after the funeral services in the Church of the Messiah at Rhinebeck. The sepulture took place In Trinity cemetery. Broadway and One Hundred and Fifty-seventh street. The casket was placed in a niche in the family vault, beside the casket of his mother and above that of his father. Two men have guarded it night and day. the same size of guard that had watched the tomb since it was built. Within a few days four men have been detailed to protect the place from intru sion and no explanation has been vouch safed as to the reason for the increased precautions. The custom of guarding the graves of the Astor dead was inaugurated by John Jacob Astor, great-grandfather of the present head of the house of Astor, who had been deeply and painfully impressed by,the incidents surrounding the stealing of the body of A. T. Stewart. PORTUGAL MOVING TROOPS TO CRUSH NEW REVOLUTION LISBON.

July B.—Three murderers were electrocuted in rapid succession in Sing Sing prison early today. The three men were the most hysterical ever executed here, and each went moaning or praying to his death. The men electrocuted were: Santo Zanzara. Italian, implicated in the murder of Mrs. Mary Hall at Cro ton Lak®, Novembers, 1911. Giuseppe Cerelli. Italian, who. killed a fellow' workman at the Millville res ervoir in Yonkers. George Williams, negro, who killed Charles Conklin, station agent at Cro ton Lake, in April, 1911. The same voltage was used for each, but three contacts were required to kill Zanzara and Williams, Only two were necessary for Cerelli. Zanzara showed greater terror of the electric chair than any man previously executed at Sing Sing. He moaned and sobbed in hysteria, but before he was strapped in the chair he knelt in prayer. Before his execution, Zanzara wrote a statement to" Warden Kennedy, in which he declared he alone was guilty of the murder of Mrs. Hall. There are five other men awaiting execution for this crime—Vincenzo Zena, Angelo Giusti. Rilcho DeMarco, Lorenzo Cali and Salvator DeMarco. The statement made by Zanzara, that all the others were innocent, was the fifth that he had made. No two were alike, and the other Italians probably will be unable to obtain a new trial. Zanzara was in the electric chair nine minutes and fourteen seconds be fore the 1,900 voitg killed him. Cerelli prayed In a loud voice before he was strapped in. He was in the chair for five minutes. Williams was in the chair eight minutes. GAMORRATHIAL IN JURY’S HANDS • • Exhausting Case, Lasting One Year and a Half, Comes to End at Last. VITERBO. ITALY. July B.—After a long-drawn-cut procedure of a year and a half, the famous Camorrlst trial drew into its final stage today. On the verge of collapse from his seem ingly endless task. Presiding Judge Cavallere Bianchi, of the assize court, finished his instructions to the jury and the jury retired at 10 o’clock. The presiding judge, as well as the others figuring in the great trial, have been worn out alike by the fatigue at tending the case, as well as the intense heat which has been prevailing here for several weeks. Signor Bianchi said that he had not been able to obtain any rest for three .nights because of his mental activity and the necessary con centration of mind in his summing up. The Judge has had to review millions of words of evidence and speeches. It was not considered likely that the Jury would report before night and perhaps later, although this was problematical. The jurors were instructed to make 114 separate findings, based upon the mul titude of counts in the indictments againsf the prisoners. Head of Crime Syndicate at Bar. It was regarded as possible that the notorious syndicate of crime in Naples known as the Camorra might be wiped out. because Enrico Alfano, alias "Er ricone.” the accused head of the band, was one of the prisoners before the bar. Another was Giovani Rapi, alias Professor Rapi. treasurer of the band. But the chief figure of the entire case was Gennaro Abatemaggio, the be trayer. The scene in the court here, today as the curtain began to descend was a dramatic one. The prisoners sat in their iron cages wan from long con finement. but with unabating hostility against their prosecutors. Alfano had promised the judge that he would not interrupt the proceedings, but he had to bite his lips until they bled before he could control his impulse to speak. Carabineres and detectives were ar ranged about the walls, guarding every entrance and exit against sudden at tack. There were few spectators. A detachment of troops was held under arms in the barracks for any emer gency. Wife of Prisoner Fall* in Faint. There was a flurry of excitement as the jury was filing into its chamber when a woman spectator-—a wife if one of the prisoners—began to scream and suddenly toppled over in a faint. rhe specific crime charged against the prisoners was. the murder of Signor Gennaro Cuoecola and his wife in Na ples in 1906. They were believed to have betrayed some of the society’s secrets. Six of the prisoners were • ■barged with actual participation be fore or after the fact. Originally there were 41 prisoners, but since the trial began some have been liberated and others died in prison. Among the pris oners is a priest. Father Vittozzi, who was accused of using his offices to help the band. PACIFIC MAIL STEAMER ADRIFT. SAN FRANCISCO.

ALL PROGHESSIW MEN INCLUDED INT.R.’SCALL New Party Convention to Meet in Chicago August 5 to Nom inate for President, OYSTER BAY, July B.—August ” the date set for the national conver tion of Colonel Roosevelt’s new Pm. gressive party in a call Issued here by Senator Dixon, campaign manager foj Colone Roosevelt. Chicago 1 S tbg place. The call Is signed by metnbe-g of the committee chosen at a meeting held in Chicago and also includes the signatures of Roosevelt followers in states. Among the signers are Julian Har ris, Democrat, tor Georgia; Judge Bee B. Lindsay. Democrat, for Colorado, and John M. Parker, Democrat, for Louisiana. Other signers are Medi’i McCormick. LaVerne W. Noyes. Illi nois; Henry W. Allen. Kansas; Les.;- Coombs. Kentucky: Charles J Bona parte. Maryland; W. R. Nelson, Mis souri; Joseph M. Dixon. Montana, ex- Governor J. Franklin Fort, New Jer sey; W. A.

The first named of the signers is the editor of Uncle Remus’s Magazine of Atlanta, and a life-long Democrat. He is the eldest son of the late Joel Chan dler Harris. "Territories have no place in a na tional convention and will not he con sidered." declared Senator Dixon. "As for the missing eight states, the most of them probably will send dele gates, although they have not taken part in the call. "Maine, for instance, postponed anv definite action because there 1s now a strong fight on in the primaries with the sympathy running in favor of the progressive movement. Delaware. North Carolina, Arkansas and Nevada probably will taJte part. Mississippi and South Carolina may possibly be unrepresented. No Rules For Choosing Delegate,. “The call lays down no rules to the methods of choosing delegates, since each state will be expected to se lect its delegates by its own parapher nalia. The representation will be cut down to just one-half that of the pre vious conventions. This was consid ered advisable since this convention is to be notably a deliberative body and will certainly be composed of a class of men altogether different from those who usually attend conventions "In all probability the convention will adopt the name ‘National Pro gressive’ for the new party, but I can not say definitely what will be done. Thus far no issues have been authori tatively stated, and, of course, the plat form itself will have to be decided upon by the delegates.” The call says: “To the people of the United States without regard to past political differ ences. who. through repeated betrayals realize that today the power of ths crooked political bosses and of ths privileged classes behind them is sc strong in the two old party o-ganiza tfons that no helpful movement in th‘ real interests of our country can coms out of either: "Who believe that the time has come for a national progressive movement * a nation-wide movement —on non-se ■ tional lines, so that the people mar be served in sincerity and truth by an or ganization unfettered by obligation tc conflicting interests; “Who believe in the right and capac ity of the people to rule themselv®.' and effectively to control all the agencies of their government and whe hold that only through social and in dustrial justice thus secured can hon- est property And permanent protec tion ; "Who believe that government by the few tends to become and has. in fa< t. become government by the sordid in fluences that control the few. ‘‘For All Kinds of Men.” "Who believe that only through th* movement proposed can we obtain in the nation and the several states the legislation demanded by the modern industrial evolution, legislation which shall favor honest business and v ‘ >t control the great agencies of modern business so as to insure their being used in the interest of the whole peo ple. legislation which shall promote prosperity and at the same time secu'>‘ the better and more equitable diffuse ’’ of prosperity, legislation which c n , promote the economic well-being the honest farmer, wage worker l 1 ’’ • fessional man and business man a'l but which shall at the same time .-tr'-e in efficient fashion—and not me P pretend to strike—at the roots of p’"' ' liege in the world of industry no ' " than in the world of politics; "Who believe that only this tyn e ’ wise Industrial evolution will a'- Industrial revolution; "Who believe that wholesome po government can come only if thei*' wholesome party management •>' spirit of service to the whole come and who hold that the comtnandmeu delivered at Sinai, ‘thou shall not t-- applies to politics as well as to bus ness. “To all in accord with these vice - vail is hereby issued by the proviso ’ committee, under the resolution of mass meeting held in Chicago on Ju -22 last to send from each state a nt> ber of delegates whose votes in convention shall count for as tn < " votes as the state shall have sen and representatives in congress meet in convention at Chicago on Sth day of August. 1912. for th-- r pose of nominating candidate? supported for the positions of pres' and vice president of the Vn* States."
