BULL MOOSE IN GEORGIA SPLIT OVER NEGRO Yates Says Dewar Wants to Change Colo r Scheme of the Colonel's Party in South. There is war among the Georgia Bull Moose- There are two convention calls, two herds of moose, two color schemes to be considered. J. St. Julien Yates, president of the Georgia Roosevelt White league, a strictly blond organization, declares that the call issued yesterday by "that fellow Dewar" is calculated to round up the anti-Taft negroes for the Bull Moose, or Mooses, as the case may be, and that Dewar is inspired not so much by patriotism as a desire to annex the Atlanta postmastership when the Colo nel resumes his seat in the white house next March. Mr. Yates issued a card to the public today, of which the following is the most caloric portion: Sees "Heap of Trouble.” There appears to be a heap of trouble ahead of the “Bull Moose” party In Georgia. It seems to be a question of whether Colonel Roosevelt's new National Progres sive party is to be white or black. The color scheme has not yet been worked out, and the trouble, having been precipitated, will be finished along about convention time in Chi cago. There Is every reason to believe there will be two delega tions from Georgia to the national convention to be held in Chicago on August 5. The real fight comes on July 25, and It will be over the chairman of the state committee. Yesterday, Mr. Roger Dewar, w ho claims to be sole living personal representative of Colonel Roosevelt In Georgia, sent out from what he is pleased to term t”he National Progressive headquarters a call for a convention to be held In Atlanta on the 25th of the month, although his call forgets to state where the meeting is to be held. Today the Roosevelt Georgia White league, as a result of a meeting held some days ago, issued .a formal call for a meeting of white men to be held at the Kimball house on next Fri day night POLICE’ATTACKED BY WOMAN I.

It may not be for a number of years. But tm is no escape. The technical name of the disease is osteo-arthritis. Its cause, is unknown. No method of stop ping it has revealed.

I IffE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, JULY 17. 1912. Island and othc- famous " sorts, there is nothing as thtilling ,:s Piedmont’s own sport. The new game is called "riding the barrel" and one attempt at it can cause more thrills and screams of laughter than a day spent on the “shoot-the chutes,” "the Hawaiian water wheel.” “the slide for life,” or any other of the more complicated “thrillers” for which you have to pay out good money at some resorts. One particular feature, too. is the safety of the new game. Women and girls and the ever pres ent small boy go In for the fascinating game more than me do, though the male element at the lake is not above participating in the sport. Like Riding a Bvoncho, The sport was started when a large water-tight keg, about half the size of an ordinary flour barrel, was placed in the swimming pool. On the surface of the pool the barrel bobs serenely up and down and shows little of the tricks which it really has. The least motion will cause It to bounce off the surface of the water like a thing of life. The game is for the swimmer to mount the barrel and stay astride ii. No one has yet done it. but thousands have made 'he attempt and had the I fun of their lives in the game, while those on the banks, shouted encourage ment and laughed at the ludicrous noses which resulted. Riding a barrel on the water is some what nkln tn the Western art of riding a bucking broncho, the only difference being that, the broncho is limited in what he does, while the barrel ap parently is not. Always the Unexpected. The pretty girl who takes a firm hold hold of the ends of the wooden keg and attempts to leap astride it can toll nothing of what wifi happen, except that she is going to tumble Into the water in a few seconds and in some way. Right there Is whore the wizard of the bialnless things gets in its work. According to several theories over which scientists have labored long, thq, barrel should sink beneath she weight of its rider. it may do that; some times it does. But the barrel is cylin drical In shape and tapers slightly to ward its ends It does not do what it is expected to . do. One time it. may btcak all natural laws and rise higher in the water: another time ft will go (,-> one side or the other and these move ments are executed with lightning rap idity and accompanied by a rolling movement, the result of revolving on its own axis. Then again it keeps its position in the water and merely re volves on Its axis. Whatever happens the rider goes plunging, head or feet foremost, into the water. "There are just about 1.000 other things this barrel ran do. and it* never does the same thing in succession." s.vs Miss B> si* Walty, a pretty girl of eighteen, who leaves her home a* 04 HU! street every dav and cnme« to the lake for a swim.

J , July 17.—The public of New Jersey Is soon to be informed of the full Intentions of Governor Woodrow Wilson concerning his Incumbency of the state’s chief executive office. A state ment is to be issued within a short time in which he will express a final intention of retaining the chair until next March or set a precedent and resign at once. It > is the confident belief of. all his clqpest triends that he will not send in his resig nation. Unless his admiring friends leave the governor more time to himself be will find it necessary to "disappear again" In order to compose the address which he is to deliver in acceptance to the official no tification made here on August 7. William F. McCombs and the members of the new national committee executive council will meet here tomorrow.

Wilson Great Leader* Says Underwood TRENTON. N J„ July 17.—Repre sentative Oscar IV. Underwood, of Ala bama, is greatly impressed with Gov ernor Woodrow Wilson as a result of his visit to the governor here yester day. the first time the two great Dem ocrats had ever met. Following their visit, Mr. Underwood said: 'I think Governor Wilson is a great ■ leader of men. Ido not have any doubt i in my mind that he is going to be elect led president of the United States. I I believe that his administration will live lup to every promise of the party. I don’t think I ever saw the Democratic party more united and in better condi tion to win a victory than it is today. On the other hand. I never saw the Re publican party more demoralized, and 1 think that our opponents even feel themselves that they are on losing ground. "Fight Will Win Itself.” "I think that the governor's plan for managing the campaign as adopted at Chicago is a very good one. Os course, I do not know enough about the de tails to give an expression of opinion as to what is the best plan or what is not. That would require a great deal of i study. The fight is mighty near in I condition to win itself. "The main question in the collection of campaign contributions is publicity, in my opinion. I think if the public is taken into the confidence of the com mittee and it knows of the sources from which contributions come, there can be no critcism, because they will be all known in advance, and the people can determine for themselves. I think that will solve the whole proposition. It is not a question as to how much each individual. contributes, because what may be a large contribution from one man may be a very small one from an other, but if the public knows the source I do not see that there can be any trouble.” Underwood said he was asked what he thought of the platform of the Dem ocratic party. "I think it Is a clear, forceful and strong expression of Democratic prin ciples," he said. "I think the principal issue in the campaign is bound to be the tariff. <if course, there are other issues of more or less importance, but the leading issue before the people is the question as to whether they want to maintain the tariff, the present sys tem of tariff taxation, or whether they want to revise the tariff downward. I believe most of the evils that exist in the country today that are being com plained of grow out of the protective tariff system and that th° prohibitive duties must be removed before we can get any real relief, both real relief from the high cost of living and from many other evils that are complained of to day.” • Will Offer His Services. "And now as to your persona! plans in this campaign?" "1 am, of course, compelled to stay in the house until It. adjourns. After that I want a couple of weeks rest; then 1 expect to offer my services to the Dem ocratic national committee and go where they want me to go." Concerning his own candidacy for the Democratic nomination, Mr. Under wood said: “When we pulled down our banners there were no sore spots left. We fight for a flag. An individual is simply an insta nee."

As if noth ing had happened, the operators con tinued to pull plugs. The fire started from cable friction and was over In a few .moments, but the young women ditln't know this. For a long time after the blaze had been ex tinguished smoke continued to pour into the exchange room, but the work of making connections never stopped. The damage will not be heavy. More than 20fi phones were put out of com mission temporarily. When the smoke was thickest. Miss Myrta Gay. chief operator, ordered th* girls from, the switchboard so that they might get fresh air.

Major John Brown Scarratt will treat Colonel Edward Constitution Bruffy to such a wheelbarrow ride around and about the streets'of Atlan ta as never has been seen in these parts. Major Scarratt and Colonel Bruffy are ancient enemies in the election bet ting business. Once upon a time—this is no fairy tale —the major won a hat from the colonel. That was when Harrison w’as elected president—not Tippecanoe Har rison (the ideal—this thing happened when John and Ed were 21, and not before the Mexican war)! Anyway, the major is a snorting, hurrahing, boosting Roosevelt man this year: the while the colonel thinks the Rough Rider will have not even a small-caliber look in on the electoral college.
