mXDN PICKED FOR “BULL MOOSE" CHAIRMAN Roosevelt Issues New Appeal, Asking Support of All Pro gressive Organizations. YORK. July 10.—This is the of officers for the new Roosevelt en.drman of the national com mittet Joseph M. Dixon, of Montana. E or secretary, Medill McCormick, of n) F t ',r treasurer, George W. Perkins, of X<"W York. For chairman New York state com mittee, Timothy L. Woodruff. For national commiteeman from Xew York. W. A. Prendergast. * The national managers will be chosen at the conclusion of the convention called for Chicago August 5, Within t few days probably a provisional state committee will be formed. If Roosevelt has his "ay, and his friends say he will. Timothy L. Woodruff will be chairman of that committee and con duct the New York state campaign. Woodruff returned from the Odiron dack iamp yesterday and went right to work to organize the Roosevelt men in his home county of Kings. Head quarters are located at Nos. 200 and 202 Montague street and will be in charge of Jesse Fuller when Woodruff Is absent. Colonel Roosevelt supplemented the call for the convtrition issued Sunday with a telegram to William Allen White, of Kansas, in which he said: Roosevelt’s New Z.ppeal. “The titular national Republican party today is not the party of the Republican voters; it is not the party of Abraham Lincoln, but purely the party of Messrs. Barnes, Penrose, Gug genheim and company, who have stol en the doorplate with the name, but have no moral right to the name or anything else. “Our appeal nationally is. of course, to all men of progressive principles, regardles of past party differences. The action locally must be guided by the needs of the local situation. “In any state where there is no real Republican party I am entirely content that the local organization should call itself by the title of Progressive Demo cratic. if that is the local desire and if they support the national progres sive electors. Where, as in New York, New Mexico and Colorado, the local organizations of both the Republican and Democratic parties are hopelessly boss-ridden and reactionary, then we must have a straight progressive ticket from top to bottom independent of both the old parties. Where, as I understand to be the ia s e in Kansas, South Dakota, Califor nia and other states, the local Repub lican organization is progressive and represents the principles for which we stand. I hope that they will be able to make the fight locally for good govern ment in whatever effective organiza tions they have. Expects Republican Support. “1 feel that this year in the pro gressive Republican states we should have the support of the organization itself Moreover. I feel that every where I have a right to expect the sup port of the entire rank and file of the Republican party. “The nomination at the Chicago con vention represented nothing but the successful cheating and stealing of the bosses at the expense of the honest and overwhelming majority of the Re publican rank and file. I hold that every honest Republican who.is true to Lincoln's memory and principles must vote with us. I nder such conditions the entire lo cal Republican organization in a state ■Ho 1 Kansas can rightly continue as such and yet is in duty bound loyal ly to support the National Progressive electors, (if course, I feel that in ev ery such Progressive Republican state the Progressive Republican candidates for any office should openly support the National Progressive electors and g 0 in the same column on the ticket with them.” Roosevelt Plan on Tickets.

PRICE OF GAS TO HEWOSEOSGOT Reduction Affects Only Patrons Who Consume 10.000 or More Cubic Feet Monthly. The Atlanta Gas Light Company to day announced a reduction in the price of gas to consumers whose meters show a monthly consumption of 10,000 or more cubic feet of gas per month. In pocketbook terms, this will affect those whose gas bills are $lO or more per month. The reduction will apply to the July sales of gas and will show on the bills rendered August 1. They will be ac cording to the sliding scale which is in effect almost universally in cities where rates otherwise than'the flat rate exist. The monthly' sliding scale, ef fective in Atlanta July 1. is as fol lows: Gross Per 1,000 Cu. Ft. First 10,000 cubic feet sl.lO Next 20,000 cubic feet 1.00 Next 20,000 cubic feet .90 Above 50,000 cubic feet .... .80 Discount of Ten Per Cent. A discount of ten per cent per 1,000 cubic feet will be allowed on all bills paid within the discount period, mak ing the bills. Net Per 1,000 Cu. Ft. First 10,000 cubic feet SI.OO Next 20,000 cubic feet .90 Next 20.000 cubic feet .80 Above 50,000 cubif feet .70 Officials of the company' insist the reduced scale of rates is not the result of the recent agitations, as the new sliding scale was under advisement be fore the first of these agitations was started. It is declared to be merely' a development of the gas industry along broader business lines. Up and Down Peachtree That’s What They’re All Looking For. A young woman stepped into a Whitehall street drug store and stared at a huge sign for about two minutes. The sign read; 500 Ways To Be Beautiful. 25 Cts. It was evidently the title of a beauty' book. The young woman, who was not pretty, but certainly not unbeautiful, seemed lost in mathematical thought for several moments more. The little finger of her right hand worked fever ish figures in the air and there was a stern pucker between her eyebrows. Finally she reached in her purse and extracted a penny. Approaching the clerk, she gave him the copper piece and said: "Show me one way, please, and keep the change.” In the language of the. day, the clerk was flabbergasted. .They Come as Fast As They Leave. When is Atlanta not Atlanta? • Now —say the railroad men and mer chants of the city. According to the representatives of several important roads which lead into the city, more than 50 per cent of the city's perma nent population is out of the city just at present. The majority of these ar,, of course, spending the whole or frag mentary parts of the summer at the various resorts stretched out along the coasts or in the mountains or at coun try homes. A smaller part is away on business. Meanwhile, however, the city’s popu lation —the crowd on Peachtree street, for instance, has not decreased notice ably. The reason is that as fast as a native leaves the city some one steps in from another city to take his place. The most of these come for a few days’ shopping trip, while others come for extended summer stays. Atlanta being a popular resort for those who are not natives. So it is that Atlanta is truly not her self, but a composite of Georgia and the South. The difference is easily no ticed, in the shops, say the merchants. FATHER OF ROCK HILL PLAN PREDICTS 15-CENT COTTON AUGUSTA, GA., July 10.—John J. Anderson, of Rock Hill. S. C„ the orig inator of the "Rock Hill plan” for the reduction of cotton acreage in the South, while in Augusta made the pre diction that cotton will bring 15 cents by next October. Mr. Anderson said that he had received reports from all over the cotton belt and that he be lieved a 12,000,000-bale crop to be the best that can be made, even with ex cellent weather conditions existing from now until th harvesting time. He said that under the "Rock Hill plan” the acreage had been curtailed this year between 4,000,000 and 6,000,000 acres. PREFERS BEING ATLANTA EXILE TO PAYING A FINE James Freeman, who was before Re corder Broyles only a few days ago, to day offered to become an exile from At lanta to escape a fine in police court. Judge Broyles declined to accept the prop osition. and imposed a fine of $15.75, or thirty days. On his first appearance in court. Freeman was bound over on the charge of vagrancy, but was freed on bond. At an early hour this morning, he created a scene, it is said, by leaping from a cab and attempting to escape without paying his lain. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1912.

That's what the men and officers of the Fifth regiment. National Guard of Georgia, are asking after seeing the regulars of the Seventeenth inarching off to the train with poodles, goats and other an imal pets trained to keep off hoodoos. Os course, the Fifth regiment is go ing to Anniston next week. Every man who could get a vacation has been overhauling his outfit and getting ready for the trip. Quite a number went to the station to see the four companies from the Seventeenth entrain, and that’s where they got the mascot fever. Just as the special was pulling out a little white poodle jumped off a coach and started up the street. After him came a sergeant in full uniform. The train was stopped until the chase had ended and ' Jenks,” mascot of Company C. had been recaptured and dragged aboard tne train. Chance to Get a Goat, That set the volunteers to thinking. Now they are trying to round up a set of mascots for their twelve compa nies. One corporal has stowed a bull pup away in the armory basement for fear the owner may turn up. and a pri vate in Company D promises to show up with a goat if the company will stand for the aroma. The Fifth is like- POSTOFFICE CLERK, OUT FOR PRESIDENT, IS SENT TO ASYLUM LOUISVILLE. July in.—James P. Hawkins, of Louisville, who was arrest ed in Washington and sent to Wash ington asylum hospital after offering himself as the compromise candidate for president on the Republican ticket, was a clerk in the Louisville postoffice more than 22 years. He resigned a few months ago, after announcing in the local papers that he would be a candi date for president on the Republican ticket. Up to that time he had never shown any mental vagaries. He left Louisville last week after telling friends that he was going East, where "some uiing big would be pulled oft. " CASH GROCERY COMPANY IS IMPROVING ITS STORE Announcement was made today by W. L. Kelly, owner Os the Cash Gro cery Company, that the lease foi the property and entire building which the company has occupied for the past year and a half at 118-120 Whitehall street has been renewed. Repairs to cost several thousand dollars are un der way. When completed the store will be one of the finest equipped establishments of its kind in the entire 'South. In the meantime Mr. Kelly will continue to keep the store open to ac 'eommodate his large butter and egg •trade. Fruit and such staple groceries as coffee, tea. milk, canned goods, etc., 'will be carried in stock. The remodeled store will extend the full length of the building, besides be ing three feet wider. The upper two ■floors probably will be used as store ■rooms. HEAT KILLS N. Y. POLITICIAN. NEW YORK. July 10. Former State Senator William F. Mackey, of Lan caster. N. Y.. died as the result of heat prostration at the Hotel Bristol today. He was 53 > ears old. \ * shh. i \ ; IH \ One of the boys of the Seven teenth infantry boarding the train for the Anniston encampment with the mascot poodle that held up the special some fifteen min utes by straying away. ly to have a dozen pots by next Tues day. when it leaves for Anniston. "We expect a regiment as nearly full as possible. (I'm speaking of num bers. not individual capacities.)," said Lieutenant Colonel Orville H. Hall to day. “It is up to the employers of men and officers of the regiment not only' to permit their employees to go, but to see that they’ do go. "The national guard can not attain efficiency without actual experience. I am sure that the owners of big proper ties, railroads and mills and lumber yards, who would be glad to see the men of the Fifth on duty around those properties in time of trouble, would be equally as glad to give the men a chance to gain actual experience at the maneuvers. Atlanta and other cities have called on the Fifth before this, and it was quick to respond. I feel confi dent almost every man will be on the train next Tuesday.” | AT THE THEATERS FORSYTH BILL DRAWS USUAL LARGE CROWDS One of the best vaudeville entertain ments that has been offered theater goers in summer time in Atlanta is at tracting the capacity of the busy For syth at all performances. The headline features are as high class as can be found in any of the big vaudeville thea ters and the features and local favor ites who help to make up the program are of unusual worth. Jack Lamey, Joe Coombs and Howard Winburn have made their vaudeville de but splendidly. The boys have a host of real friends who are Interested in them, but if they were regulars on the circuit their hit would be Just as great as it Is. Edmond Hayes and company, presenting vaudeville's funniest act; Isabelle D’Ar mond and Frank Carter, the Rutan Song Birds and other features make a bill that is a splendid netertainment.

LOS ANGELES. July 10.—Job Har riman. the first witness of the Darrow defense, was expected to take the stand for further examination when the trial of the Chicago attorney was resumed today. Harriman has already testified that he had never at any time given Darrow $4,000 in currency, as Bert Franklin swore he did. Harriman fur ther stated that there was no safe in Darrow's office, or in the adjoining room, where Franklin said he went with Darrow' to get the money. Harriman said the only safe in the suite was in his office, and that the combination was held by himself, his secretary and John R. Harrington. The defense will try to establish a strong suspicion that Har-’ rington unlocked the safe and gave Franklin $4,000, which he had stowed away there in a box w'hich he kept in the safe. Mrs. Darrow is still ill and shows lit tle improvement from the nervous col lapse she suffered a week ago. • Judge Hutton held a conference this morning with District Attorney Fred ericks to consider the advisability of securing a new custodian for the Dar row jury. During the last few days a number of matters have been brought to the attention of the district attor ney's office that have caused consider able apprehension concerning the at titude of some of the men employed to guard the jurors. Juror Goldgin com plained to the court that detectives were watching him, mentioning the possibility of the district attorney keep ing him under surveillance.

The Georgia Association of the Deaf has prepared its petition asking the state legislature to move the state school for mutes from Cave Springs to Macon or to establish a school in south Georgia. The petition also asks that the management of the school be taken from the charge of a permanent board and placed under one elected for four years. The petition is signed by Mrs. C. L. Jackson, Nate A. Gorman and I. H. Marchman. The fight being waged by the asso ciation against the abolishment of the sign system is being opposed by a num ber of mutes. Frank J. Merath, of Macon, in a let ter to The Georgian, condemns sign , reading, declaring that it results in mis. education. He took a slap at the action taken by the recent convention of mutes in Atlanta, declaring that it did not represent a majority opinion. Os the two methods, the oral and the man ual, he prefers the oral, but believed much better results could be accom plished by abolishing all special institu tion® for the deaf and dumb and train, ing them along with hearing pupils. THE FREOIIEIIT USE OF THE KNIFEMNDEMNED WE MUST AGREE THAT IT IS BETTER TO SPARE A THOUSAND GUILTY THAN TO HANG . ONE INNO CENT. In the course of a short talk last evening the chief of the staff of United Doctors forcibly expressed his views on the frequent operating in diseases of women. Among other things, he said: “It is not my purpose here to antag onize my surgical brothers, but we too often see brilliant descriptions of hair raising operations with a wonderful survival of the patient. It is a great credit to the profession to have pro duced men with such skill as to enter one’s very vitals and remove the most delicate organs. Surely we can not bestow too much praise upon men with such marvellous accomplishments. But did you ever stop to think that there might be a patient now and then who, under skilled medical directions, might have been saved such hazardous pro cedure and still have been cured?” We must agiee that it is far better to. spare a thousand guilty ones than to hang one innocent one. 1 believe that were we to use sound reasoning and exercise due care, at least some of our patients would escape the necessity for an operation. Ido not mean to in fer that all cases can be treated with out the surgeon, but I do mean to say that a very large majority of our fe male pelvic affections can be so treated as to give the most startling results to both patient and physician. Not more than 50 years ago all these pelvic trou bles were treated by the family physi cian in away that made our ancestors famous, and they were treated with out the use of the knife. When we have a case of inflamma tion about the heart or inflammation of the lungs, were we to pursue the sfme course as we do with Inflamma tion of the uterus or ovaries, cut them out, what would become of our pa tients? Now, were we to treat our fe male troubles as we do our lung trou bles, there is no doubt that our hos pitals today would be less crowded and more of our women would be restored to health. It is just this conservative treatment that has made tihe United Doctors fa mous in our larger cities, and it will be ny curing women that have been con demned to the knife by the family doc tor that will make our Atlanta office equally famous.
