GIRL (IE) IN LOVE
WITH ACTOR HELD'
Daughter nf Mobile Business
Man Was to Meet Vaude
ville Performer Here.
An unromantic father, a nusy tele
graph instrument and the law, as rep
resented by an Atlanta detective, this I
afternoon put an abrupt ending to th*
two weeks old rnmance of Ruth Boh*
a pretty sixteen - yea t-old girl, who ran
away from her hmn* In Mobile to mar
ry a vaudeville performer. M. H Avery, j
Avery has not yet shown up. The girl
said he was In Birmingham.
Just two weeks ago Ruth saw Avery,
and her heart did a flip-flap. It was,
in i Mobile theater. Although stage 1
folk were not regarded so highly by
the folks at home, she pulled a few
strings, set her friends to work and me*
the actor man. Sh* was his and he was ;
hers in the first Inning; so they
straightway decided, to get married.
Gulf climatea not being partial to ro
mances, h* advised her tn meet him fn
Atlanta. He then went on to Blrming
ha m
In accordance with Instructions, she
left Mobile Her father. J. W. Bailey, a
business man of Mobile, learned of it
-hortlxfc’and placed th* polii* n n ke*
trail.
An unremitting search of several
Southern cities resulted In bringing I
Ruth to light in a boarding house at
64 Formwait street. She had original
ly been a guest at the Finlex hotel. The
management th*r* was responsible for
| her
Ruth was highly dismayed when cap
tured. but even th* ruthless law
< ouldn't put a crimp In the tintram
mcled b've sh* has for the actor man.
"Father’s hurting no on* but him
self,” she said. 'J am going to marry
the man I love despite brass buttons
and parental objections''
And then she smiled charmingly at
everybody, including Detectives Hewell
and Hollingsworth, who arrested her.

GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION OF ATLANTA STREET CONDITIONS LUCKIE, NEAR SPRING.
More About the Conditions
Which Have Leri to Wide
spread Complaint.
Continued from First Page,
for expenditure "n improvements, the
system of making better street' is about
hr same that it was when the city
was tlir vll'age of Marthasville. There
is not a man tn the city hall who can
tell when tn improvement will begin,
though the funds for it are already pro.
’•idcd.
Any coirncliman will explain that the
I nardest part of getting an improvement
I for his ward is after council has an-’
•horlzed It. The construction depart
ment always has so much work out
lined by council that it is impossible to
do it all within anything like the time
exported. To get an improvement start
’d always means days and days of
work with the streets < ommlttee of
■ ounell and the chief of construction
by the councilmen and citizens Inter
ested. The work that impresses the
officials as the most important is be
gun first.
Can't Plan Ahead.
Thl« mass of work always ahead of
the construction department has de
veloped another awkward situation.
The city engineers are never able tn
plan ahead. They are so constantly
i urged to do this or thit work that it is
more than the department can do to
live up to the plans of council. With
each councilman pulling for hts par
ficnlat section, every piece of work
passed up Is always considered Indi
vidually with little regard to the gen
eral development of the city.
The greatest amount of work now
planned is In the new and undevelop
ed sections Here also the most com
plaint. \ great amount of this work
has been provided for by council The
construction department has done the
grading for much of it. The heavy rains
have come along and washed dozens
of such streets into terrible condi
tions. The city convicts have been
kept busy making repairs. But few
streets have been completed so that
they can withstand the rains.
It is estimated that eight miles of
sidewalk curbing has been put down
on streets this year where the side
walks have not been graded for pave
ment. With curbing in this condition
the rainsg have w ashed much of ft away.
Covers Entire City.
Here Is a long list of streets in ev
er' section of the city authonized by
council for pavements upon which work

Slow Work on Marietta Street.
The work of widening and paving
Marietta street from Tabernacle place
to North avenue, the city appropria
tion to which alone is $47,060, is now;
under way. But it has been and still '
is progressing at a snail's pace.
The city is now spending $5,606 in
grading and paving Spring street from
Walton street to Carnegie way. But
this money has been appropriated since
fannary I. 1911. It is but a small be
ginning of a project to open a new
thoroughfare through the north side to
relieve the conjestton of the Peach
trees.
But before tills work Is fairly begun
the city appropriates $5,000 to begin a
several hundred thousand project on
th* Pea htrees. The lowering of the
grade where these streets join Baker
street is hardly a beginning of what
is planned for this section, but there
is no plan now in sight to complete the
whole project.
On* of the most important works in
progress is the building of a $70,060
viaduct over the railroad crossing at
Bellwood avenue. But much more
work will be necessary to make the ;
avenue a good street.
$5,000 Given For Ivy Street Repairs,
Also council gave $5,660 as a starter
on a costlx' scheme to regrade and re
pave Ivy street from Decatur street to
Peachtree street. But the amount is
so small that provisions for its begin- ,
ning have not been made.
In addition to these plans and a |
scheme to connect West End. Grant
park and Piedmont park with broad
boulevards, council starts an improve
ment of South Forsyth street, raising i
its grad> and repaving it.
