WASHINGTON, July 11. —“Ahe you a Bull Moose?” asked one senator of a Western progressive with Roosevelt lea ning. "No,” replied the Westerner mourn fully; "but I will not join Taft’s party’— the political land crabs. I never could progress backward.". "Then what is your zoological-classi fication?" persisted the questioner. "Politically speaking,” replied the Westerner, "I think I'll join Woodrow- Wilson.

Her crew includes Jack London, novelist, and wife. To satisfy his ambition to round the horn in a square rigged clipper Jack London and his wife, with a Japanese servant, signed up for a. voyage in Feb ruary. They left Baltimore March 1 on the Aryan. Jack London signed the ship's formula as third mate and his wife as stewardess. The Jap was one of the crew. London was to get $35 and Mrs. London sls. The novelist said that after unloading at Seattle they would probably get or ders to go to Honolulu to load sugar for the Atlantic coast. FINDS ISLAND IN RIVER. AND NOW IT’S HIS OWN HARRISBURG, July 11.—It seems a trifle odd that at this late day there could be found an island in the Juanita river that didn't belong to anybody, es pecially when the island is about four acres in extent; but George R. Black, of Harrisburg, made the discovery, and in course of time will own the island. The ground in question is in the river at Newport, and Mr. Black discovered that nobody had a legal claim to it. whereupon he filed an application for it with tire state board of property. OFF TO BRING SMITH BACK; ABSCONDEB “BROKE” Thousands Spent to Bring Bank Wrecker to Justice ' by Atlantans. SOME NOT ENTHUSIASTIC OVER THE HOME-COMING Must Face Several Charges, But Many Believe He’ll Es cape With Light Penalty. Armed w ith a stack of papers and a pair of blue steel handcuffs, one of the "operatives” of the Atlanta Pinkerton office prepared today to leave for a lit tle jaunt down to Juarez, .Mex ico, famous for bull fights, horse races and revolutions. When he returns he will bring with him a man a number of Atlanta investors have long desired to see, Mr. J. Wylie Smith, erstwhile secretary-treasurer of the Commercial Loan and Trust Com pany. Through negotiations between Gov ernor Brown and the American consul at Juarez arrangements are in progress for the "home-coming" and the Pinker ton man only aw aited the word to start. Mr. Smith left Atlanta a year ago last June, and forgot to leave his ad dress with his creditors.' The Pinker tons had a long search they found him. and when they did they had only half, solved the problem. They landed Smith in a Mexican jail, but they couldn’t get him out again. It was only yesterday that the new gov ernment decided it wasn’t worth w hile to board the American any longer, and telegraphed, through United States Ambassador Wilson, to the secretary of state at Washington that Atlanta might have the prisoner if it would send for him. It has cost the creditors of J. Wylie Smith several thousand dollars to bring him home, and whether they will get any satisfaction beyond seeing Smith in court is problematical. For it was pretty well assured that he was “broke” when he skipped, and won’t have any thing to divide among those who were stung. But still, some of them will be glad to have him back. Others won’t, for it is alleged that several Atlantans were mixed up in his transactions, and at the time his disappearance came to light they were by no means enthusi astic over chasing him. The story of Mr. Wylie Smith, or wily Mr. Smith, as the case may be. gave Atlanta a taste of high finance of which J. Rufus Wallingford might have been proud. Mr. Smith was a loan agent, but the rates he charged were benevolent and philanthropic compared to the interest he gave the small capi talists who furnished him coin. He promised -and paid—anywhere from 25 to 100 per cent a year for money bor rowed from his friends, and the $150,000 of principal he was said to owe when he left so unceremoniously had been more than half repaid by the interest already drawn by his creditors. Some of those who yelled the loudest over their losses admitted that Smith had paid then ten per cent a month for six months, whereby they had received 60 per cent of their money back, and only had a 40 per cent kick coming. ATLANTA, GA., THUR SDAY. JULY 11, 1912. DEFY SHIM TOPUTVETO Oil WHS MEASURE Alexander Declares It Will Become Law, No Matter What Governor Does. BILL IN SENATE NOW: QUICK ACTION SOUGHT • Attempt at Delay in Committee Will Be Opposed—Look for Speedy Decision. The Tippins-Alexander prohibition bill, which passed the house yesterday by a vote 'of 129 to 42, will be trans mitted to the senate today, where it will be read the first time and referred to the temperance committee for its consideration. The temperance committee of the senate will not keep the bill, in al! probability, for any great length of time. It may get back to the senate by Monday next, with a favorable re port. ready for a second reading. If it does, the bill should come to a vote in the senate sometime next week, per haps Friday. A long fight in the committee may be undertaken, and delays of one kind and another interposed, but there is not much likelihood of that, inasmuch as the senate is heavily in favor of the bill, and delays will be fought bitterly, if attempted. Sure To Become Law, Says Alexander. Representative Hooper Alexander, the leader of the fight for the bill in the house, discussed the measure Interest ingly, after its passage yesterday, and while yet the galleries were applaud ing his victory and calling him the Napoleon of the hour. "I am proud of the victory we won,” said Mr. Alexander, “and let me say that it is a sure augury of final vic tory to come. "The bill we have passed will be come a law of Georgia. 1 hope the governor will not veto it. I am by no means sure that he will. But whether he does or not, it will become a law. We can pass it over the execu tive veto, if necessary. Declares Supporters Will Stand Firm. "I am gratified beyond measure at the way the friends of the bill stood firm, arid never flinched in the face of the enemy. There are those who have saiu that there are make-believe friends of this bill in the house who would not vote for it on a show down, or who would dodge it, or who would vote for it with a mental reservation against it. I believe everj' vote cast for it on the day of its passage will be found on the record for it when it comes, if it does come, to a question of passing it over the governor’s veto. "Practically all Georgians are oppos ed to lawlessness, and this bill is aim ed at lawlessness. It was designed to correct a state of things of which Geor gia should be. and is, I think, ashamed. "The friends of the Tippins bill may be of good cheer. The bill will be come a law before the adjournment of the present legislature.” The Tippins-Alexander bill is one of the most drastic ever drawn against the sale of intoxicating beverages in Georgia.

When Told of Invention, Says They Take Fun Seriously. NEW YORK, July 11 "So they are getting out a jolly old English ’Gloom Doll,’ eh, what?" said Tom Powers, the famous cartoonist, when he was told that a woman passenger on a French liner had brought In a manni kin pet with the conical cap and lugu brious black whiskers of his creation. “ 'Awful amusin’ little thing,’ I sup pose they’re saying to each other ‘A bally good spoof, eh, old top?’ "I know the English take their fun sadly. Probably they'd stare at a Jof Doll and wonder what the bloomin’ mischief it meant. Now, if I were go ing to get out a doll, It would be a Joy.” “How do ybu think the Gloom 001 l will go in America?" the artist was asked. "It is said to be making a hit all over England and France and tak ing the place of the Teddy Bear and the Poodle Dog." "I think It might have a hard time here," Poweis said. "Imagine a man coming home with a joy package under his belt, and a Gloom Doll in his pocket for Ms wife. She’d probably hurl both him and the doll out. “Or imagine the real original Glooms out in the suburb where I live, being asked to buy them! They’d look too lifelike. We have grand Glooms up there. I owed one of them 75 cents for some repairs the other day. He sent me a bill which read '77 cents —re- pairs, 75; use of postage stamp, g/ The Suburban Glooms certainly take care of the city Joys who go up there to live in the summer.” The interview, which was obtained by a Georgian correspondent who traveled all of 60 feet to see M ■ Pow ers in his sanctum, brought out the fact that the Joy is his favorite char- Z ■ -M-l I 2 3 F4~| 6~T7~TB~~rg 1Q 11 12 litBOBrPOU'L N.

July 11. —More than 1,300 persons today took part in a battle be tween strikers and police at the Surrey commercial docks when a band of strikers endeavored to persuade strike breakers who are working under police guard to desert their posts. There were 700 strikers in the mob which tried to storm the docks and remove the non-strikers by force. Six hun dred police surrounded the docks and attempted to drive the strikers off. For sevciwl hours a battle raged, in which scores were hurt on both sides. The police attacked the strikers with their riot sticks. Hundreds of extra police were rushed to the scene to reinforce the guard already on the scene. The ring leaders of the strikers threatened to make another assault later in the day. HORSE GUEST AT PICNIC GIVEN BY “DRY” SOCIETY CONNERSVILLE. IND.. July 11.—A family horse was one of the honored guests at an all-day meeting of officers and members of the W. C. T. U. The venerable “nag" belongs to George L. Huxtable, at whose home the picnic was held. At some time or another every Indiana officer of the W. C. T. U. has ridden behind this horse, and gen erous recognition, in the form of a huge feed, roses in the bridle reins and many caresses, was given it.

Athletes Easily Qualify in the 110-Meter Hurdle Tryouts. f CANADIAN SETS RECORD FOR 10,000-METER WALK Old Mark Lowered Nearly Four Minutes—Americans Low in Swimming Stunts. By MICHALL J. MURPHY. (Trainer of the American Olympic Team.) STOCKHOLM. July 11.—Craig, oi Detroit, won the final in the 200-mete? race. STOCKHOLM, July 11.—Aroused by their defeats yesterday, the American athletes competing in the International Olympic games here went Into the con tests today with determination to get back to their earlier form. Having been taught a lesson, the Americans vowed to contest every event to the limit of human prowess. They admitted they had been caught oft their guard by overconfidence in the 1,500-meter race yesterday and were roundly lectured for It by their trainer-in-chief. Carrying out their program of per sistency, the Americans went into the 110-meter hurdle trials, the first event to he run off, prepared for a terrific struggle. From a viewpoint based on form, this event was a joke, as the United States athletes apparently had the race cinched. However, they were taking no chances. A large number of the Americans who qualified in the trials are school boys. The great stadium was well filled when the games began, the attendance being helped by the fine, cool weather. The only real contest in the race over the jumps came in the eleventh heat, with James I. Wendell, of Western uni versity; Powell, of Great Britain, and Lukeman, of Canada, fighting it out for places. The Englishman was elim inated, Wendell winning In the fast time of 15 3-5 seconds. The Olympic record for this event is 15 seconds flat, made by Smithson, of America, at Lon don in 1908. Canadian Beats Walking Record. George Gouldipg, of Ontario. Can ada. won the 10,000-meter walk, show ing himself to be one of the greatest pedestrians in the history of sport. Goulding not only won easily, but beat the Swedish record by 3 minutes 42 3-5 seconds. His time was 46 minutes 28 seconds. J Webb, of England, was sec ond, 100 yards behind the Canadian. Altimani, of Italy, finished third. Fred W. Kaiser, of the New York Athletic club,Was the only American who qual ified for the finals in the 10.000-meter walk. United States Commissioner Sullivan, who has been a student of. athletics in all its branches for twenty, years, said he had never seen such an exhibition of its kind in that branch of sport. The husky Canadian set a fast pace at the outset and never slackened. Kaiser, the only American entrant, made a sorry figure. After trying vain-
