With “Gabriel’s Horn.’’
The soft; sobbing sound whifth caught
the ears of Atlanta's waking populace
today was not Jupiter Pluvius sighing
over so much work, but the new whis
tle of the Atlanta and West Point en
gine. with Charles A. Wickersham,
president yrs the road, pn the lever.
Thereby hangs a tale; also a tune.
For years Wickersham has
made a habit of riding in from his Col
lege Park home on the engine of the
morning local. Soon he fell to running
the engine himself, and also to blowing
the whistle long and unremittently.
citizens of East Point began to recog
nize the "Wiekersham toot”—it held for
four measures, then sprang into several
staccaio yelps.
t’rom this, it may be gathered that
President Wiekersham was very fond of
whistlish sounds.
A few days ago he was up North,
traveling on the Pennsylvania road,
and he heard a new and weirdly sweet
whistle. To the ears of President
Wiekersham it was more enticing than
the call of a siren. He determined to
have that whistle.
Through railroad yards and terminal
stations, up mountainsides and through
the valleys he trailed the engine with
that weird, sweet siren oall until his
chase was rewarded. The whistle
proved to be a very commonplace af
fair. but it's note was like that of Ga
briel's trumpet.
The end of the stbry was that Pres
ident Wiekersham bought the whistle.
Now it's installed on the morning local,
where he can toot it every morning to
his vast satisfaction and the inspiration
of the populace.
BROWN’S REGISTRATION
IDEA IS INCORPORATED
IN BLALOCK’S MEASURE
Governor Joseph M. Browns oppo
sition to the present registration law
enacted during the first Hoke Smith
administration in 1908. has borne ftuit.
A bill, sponsored by Senator H. C. Bla
lock. which proposes sweeping changes
in the statute of registration, has been
sent to the upper house.
The registration law. long regarded
as the political prey of the opposing
factions of Georgia Democracy, now re
quires the registration books io close
six months prior to the date of the
general election. Prior to August 25.
1908 the registration books closed 20
days before the date set for the gen
eral election.
The Blalock bill, as introduced in the
senate, requires tax collectors to keep
the registration books open until 30
days before the date of the election.
This measure is a big change in the di
rection urged by Governor Brown in
his annual message to the legislature.
In attacking the present law the gov
ernor asserted that fully 100.000 Geor
gia voters were being disfranchised
annually by its operation. He said the
law worked an especial hardship ot
the farmers. who were deprived not
only of voting in state primaries and
elections but also in the Federal elec
tions.
BAD ACTOR FINED;

When Charles Brewer and Percy
Spellman, both vaudeville actor'. were
arraigned today in police court for
creating a scene at Broad and Mariet

toi had threatened to clean up the
earth with him. but took pity because
of his small size."
Brewer said he told Spellman not to
worry about his size, and asked him
several times to "go on and clean up
the earth." The evidence showed that
Spellman struck at Brewer one time
and knocked off his hat. This was the
extent of 'the tight.
Witnesses said the two actols had
been in an argument for some time, and
that Spellman seemed to be the agres
sot. Recorder Broyles tined Spellman

could not go back and face the frame
up against me,” is the way J. Wylie
Smith explains his cohtinued absence
in .Mexico, though wanted in Atlanta
on the charge of embezzlement.
Smith said when arrested that he
made up his mind when released in
Chihuahua by the rebels that he would
come to El Paso and surrender, but
that his heart failed him when he got to
Juarez, and he decided to go into hiding
for a time. He was discovered by Pink
erton men and arrested while hiding.
"I am not fraid to go'back if I could
get a fair trial," sa’id Smith; "but the
books were framed up on me to protect
other people, and they will swear
against me. I am out of money. My
family has no money, if | had stolen
what they say I did. would I be broke
now? I have nothing. Forty-five cents
was all J had when they arrested me.
Rebels May Free
Prisoner Again.
Smith was arrested by Pinkertons in
Juarez last night and is now in the
jail of the little Mexican border town
pending his own decision and that of
the rebel officers
If he decides that he will "face the
music.” as he says he once made up his
mind, several weeks ago. to do. he will
be turned over immediately to the
United States. ' ,
If he does not decide to come, he
may be turned over, anyhow; he may
be freed, or he may be kept in prison
until the federals come to retake Juarez
and then be given a regular extradition
trial.

They Will Get Him

across the boundary yet, and there is

American side.
The Pinkertons here received the fol
lowing telegram early today from the
man in charge of their Houston. Texas,

Wvlie Smith arrested in Jaurez.
He claims he was legally released
and can not be arrested on the same
charge again. General Orozco of
fered to give him transportation
back to <'hihuahua.
The Atlanta office wired at once tp
its representative to consult the Amer

Smith across the line.
The Mexican government is willing
and anxious to assist the American de

Orozco, seems to have become friendly
with Smith and may resist any at

soil.
An Atlanta officer will leave today or

possession of Smith and bring him
across th- Rio Grande.

ENTRANCE FEES IN
RACES FOR COUNTY

sub-committee of the county executive
committee, is:
For judge of superior court, $350.
For solicitor general, $350.

BASEBALL AND RACING
Charley Frank Refuses
To Play Today and
Crackers Again Rest
NEW ORLEANS. July 18.—Charley
Frank decided this morning that he did
not care to play off the postponed game
with the Crackers today.
And. according to the schedule, this is
an off-day for the Crackers and the Peli
cans.
And. as the home manager has very
much the say-so in matters of this char
acter —
There was no game todaj’ between the
ancient rivals—the Crackers and the Pel
icans
Incidentally, it is also an off-day for
Mobile and Chattanooga.
And incidentally again, rain smeared it
self ail over the American league—with
the consequence that there were no games
up there either.
And also New York and Pittsburg in
the National league suffered a rain visit.
Which made baseball for this day some
what lacking.
