Mrs. Grace still preserves an out ward calm, but little signs show that the ordeal will be a heavy one for her. The long days of prison life, of cross-questions from officials, of stares from the curious and of being whirled about from place to place, wore her nerves to a thin edge, and the seclu sion she has enjoyed since has been as balm to her.

The house of cornnjons was crowded with spectators today, who were drawn by word that Premier Asquith in a speech would en ter Into a frank discussion of diplomat ic questions. There was applause when the premier declared that Great Britain had no cause for quarrel w ith any- part of the world, that she viewed with equanimity such special conversations and interchanges of opinion as had re cently been exchanged between Russia and Germany, and that Great Britain's relations with Germany today were characterized by amity and good will. The premier paid high tribute to the imperial council of defense in reply to criticism from the opposition that the I council's power ten<i«Mi to encroach upon those of the legislative govern ment and even those of the house it self He declared that for the years the council had stood between th? em pire and war RANCHER WITH 3.000 ACRES WANTS A WIFE CHICAGO, July 25 Wanted \ wife between the ages of 1R ami 30 years.

FEDERAL 0.K.0N NINE TBISCO" Treasury Department Upholds Easterners Who Use Abbre viation for Bay City. SAN FRANCISCO. CAL., July 25. At the end of all this town's earnest effort to teach a careless wo'lt' that it is sacrilege to call San Francisco by any sort of abbreviated name, 'he treasury departme'nt at Washington lias come along and put a big official O. K. on "Frisco" It was bad enough t > have to hear, occasionally, the preset ibed w ord slip from the lips of an uninformed tourist, but to have to fall back helplessly an 1 watch the United States government place the seal of approval on “Frisco" passes Hie limit of endurance. Collector < f Hi " Port SttattOn and all the other local Federal officials are fuming with impotent rage. They bat tled valiantly for the preservation of "San Francisco," and they lost. And the only reason for the action of the treasury department lay in tin fact that a few Eastern manufacturers, or somebody else, would stand to los< a little money in the event that the name of San Francisco must be pre served In its original purity. In supplying seals for freight cars in bond, the Eastern manufacturers made the mistake of stamping “Frisco" in stead of "San Francisco” on the seals. All the railroad companies, with the exception of the Southern Pacific, were furnished with the seals bearing the (’•»rrupt<‘U name. Collector Stratton promptly refused to recognize the "Frisco" labels An appeal was taken to the treasury de partment and the manufacturers won. It is problematical how long the de cision of the treasury department will remain in effect It is likely, however, that a fight wil be made to terminate the "Frisco" folly just as soon as the present supply of bond car seals shall have been exhausted.

THL’KSDAY, JULY 2a, 1912. President of Senate, Who Was Once Acting Governor, Out lines Platform Principles. John M. Slaton thinks he should he elected governor, because he has dem onstrated by a long and worthy term of legislative service that he is fitted for the high office to which he aspires, and that he would fill honorably and ac ceptably if conferred upon him. He says: "I started in 1896 and am the oldest legislator in point of service in the state. "In addition to having been chairman of the general judiciary committee and presiding officer in each house, I was acting governor for a short time, and I think my election as governor would be in reasonable line of promotion. "I believe I know the needs of the state and its institutions, and how to maintain them within the limits of the slate revenue. This, of course, must be done. "Nearly-$1,000,000 of the state’s debt must be refunded by the next legisla ture, and the state’s finances should be put on a sound basis. "In the past I have endeavored to pre serve the value of the Western and At lantic railroad, and I believe its dispo sition is now one of the most vital ques tions before the people today. “It is suggested that the lease of con tiguous property in Atlanta and Chat tanooga. not needed for railroad pur poses, might produce a revenue ap proximating the receipts, from the en tire lease of the railroad. "These are matters for careful thought." The Georgian published (yesterday an interview with Joe Hill Hall, and will soon publish a statement from A. F. Castleberry, Socialist.

SENATESECRETS OUT; SESTON mo President Criticises Members of Upper House for Discuss ing Nominations Fight. Aroused because proceedings of the senate's executive sessions were leak ing out in spite of the strict rules for bidding such disclosures. President John M. Slaton took occasion today to censure severely members of the upper house. President Slaton's criticism was made shortly after the upper house had gone behind closed doors, ostensibly to dis cuss appointments recently sent in by Governor Brown, The discussion of the publication of secret proceedings took all the time, however, and action on the governor’s nominations was postponed until Mon day. The rule of the senate governing ex ecutive sessions, read to the senate by President Slaton, is: President Slaton’s Rule. “No senator shall be at liberty at any time or under any circumstances, to expose or publish anything transpir ing in executive session, except only such matters as are required to be dis closed under the rules. It is the in tent and meaning of this rule that business transacted tn executive Session shall be sacred and free from exposure to the outside world and that every senator shall be on his honor concern ing the same." The action of the senate in again postponing consideration of the gov ernor's nominations after spending thirty minutes in executive session in dicates that a real political tight is to be made over the nominations for the state hoard of education. It is conceded that various other ap pointments sent in by the governor will provoke no contest, but they have been held up because of the disagreement centering around the educational board nominees. The fight, it is said, will be waged over Govornor Brown's appoint ment of G. R. Glenn, of Dahlonega, to succeed Dr. Jere M. Pound, the Hoke Smith appointee. It is not believed that a fight will be made on A. 1,. Moon as a successor to J. C. Langston. 500 MADE HOMELESS, $500,000 DAMAGE DONE IN WISCONSIN FLOOD MERRILL. WIS., July 25.

MACON BOOTHS wdom ATLANTA Boosters of Central City Pa rade Streets Lauding “This Town’s Only Rival.” Today is Macon day in Atlanta. Two hundred fifty of the Central | City’s enthusiastic boomers, headed by I Mayor Moore, many beautiful women J and the .Macon bugle corps, breezed j Into the Terminal station today in a special, six cars long. They came to boost Macon. All day they did what they came fpr. Incidentally, they were royally entertained at the Elks club by the Atlanta Ad Men's association, after they had made one of the most spec tacular parades Peachtree street has seen this summer. The invasion of the Maronites was the idea of E. H. Hyman, secretary of the Central City Chamber of Commerce, "the Guy*Who Put the Con in Macon,"' With Mayor Moore, W. T, Anderson, j of The Telegraph, E. W. Armstrong and ( the 246 other boosters, he boarded the train at the Central City at 7 o clock and started out in a blaze of Macon bunting that startled the countryside all the way along. The boosters stopped at Barnesville, Griffin and For syth and paraded the main streets of those towns with the redoubtable grey coated buglers at their head. Met By Ad Men, When they reached Atlanta they • found the Terminal station thronged | with interested spectators, who cheered the invaders almost as heartily as the invaders ch<ered their native town as they detrained and marched, two and two. to the plaza, where the parade formed. The Atlanta Ad association had a score of autos awaiting them, decked out with red and white pennants and red and white umbrellas flaring forth the inscription, "Welcome to Our City." But the men from Macon were not to be outdone. They piled the autos full of their own placards, prominent among which stood out the chivalric boast, "Macon, Atlanta's Only Rival.” Into the automobiles climbed the vis iting women. Mayor Moore and the "Guy Who Put the Con In Macon." Tlie other invaders formed in double I file on either side and. far back of the machines, the bugles and drums struck ; up a crashing fanfare and the long; parade started across to Peachtree. There will never be any doubt in , anybody's mind after this about the! enthusiastic loyalty of Maconeers to I Macon. Those boosters had been rid-| ing through a pretty warm country on | a warm train since 7 o’clock in the morning. Three times enroute they, had left the train to parade- through' Georgia villages and shout out their lungs for their favorite town. Sun Didn’t Wilt Them. When they swung marching into Peachtree street the sun was scorch ing and they had a long tramp up hill. But every one of them was smiling and still brini full of enthusiasm so-that, they cheered the crowds that swarmed the pavements and the doorways and windows, and then cheered some more for Macon for good measure. In one of the automobiles rode Miss Eugenia Anderson, daughter of Man ager Anderson of The Telegraph, and the mascot of Macon. Engenia hadn’t had a thing to eat since 7 o’clock and she is only six years old and had been in all the marching. But all the way up Peachtree she flung an American flag and waved a Macon pennant so vigorously that the crowds in the street cheered her, because she was pretty enough to be a mascot for Atlanta. Off Peachtree street the parade swung into Auburn ‘avenue and up North Pryor street to tile Elks club. At the Elks club the Atlanta Ad men had fixed up a Dutch luncheon, which the hungry men from Macon welcomed with a cheer almost as enthusiastic as those they continually expended upon their city. Shortly after noon the boosters marched over to the capitol to pay their respects to the governor and the general assembly. Unfortunately, the senate and house both had adjourned, but the governor came out, listened to a couple of tunes by the bugle corps, made a short speech, had his picture taken with them on the steps and invited them to come again. LEGISLATURE TAKES UP STREETS REFORM PLAN THIS EVENING At 5 o'clock this afternoon the commit tee of the legislature on municipalities will consider the city council's charter amend ments providing for stret reforms. The Pulton delegation has assured the city of ficials that he amendments will be passed. amendments were adopted as a re sult of The Georgian’s campaign for bet ter streets, and sweeping changes in the city's system will be made as soon as the i legislature acts. BALKY MULE IS BURNED WITH CIGAR-AND ZOWIE YONKERS, N. Y., July 25.—Everett I Blake, a chauffeur of Carmel, may know now to handle automobiles, but he has a lot to learn about mules. He was kicked insensible by one he tried to budge with a lighted cigar. Benjamin Edwards was driving the mule. It balked. Blake could not pass. I He watched Edwards try several meth, ods to make the mule move, but all failed. Then Blake burned one of its | legs with the cigar, and lost cigar and i consciousness at the same time. Old- Timers Gambled Underground LOST RESORT IS FOUND A rare glimpse into the past, when Atlanta was a frontier town in spirit, with gambling as one of its principal institutions, was revealed today when D. W. Yarborough began remodeling the old brick house at 10 Porters alley for his plumbing shop. Under the one story brick structure was discovered a secret gambling resort of four rooms. An observation of the house led to no suspicion of its underground apart ment and an outside trap door, the only entrance, gave no indication of the ex istence of what was once the most famous and exclusive gambling resort in the South. The architecture of the house is per fect for its purpose. The house was for years the only one on the alley. The small trap door leads to a very small alley is so small that it is difficult for one man to enter at a time. A narrow hall connects three moderate-sized rooms, with low ceilings. Then another small tray door leads to a very small room. It was the poker room and the scene of the loss of several of Atlanta s early fortunes. The w-alls between these rooms are about four feet thick. Not a sound can be carried through them. There are no windows, but an ingenious system of ventilation from above through pipes. To have raided that house in the old days would have been like storming a castle. But there is no record of any effort ICE CDEffl KILLS! ONE; EIGHT SICK! Prominent Cordele People Vic-i tims of Ptomaine Poison, Following Dinner Party. CORDELE. GA., July 25.—One per son is dead and eight others are ill 1 from ptomaine poison as the result of • eating ice cream at the home of Judge J. B. Smith here on last Sunday. The death of J. E. Joiner, a prominent Cor dele. business man, occurred today, fol- | lowing an illness of four days. Those still sick are: Judge and Mrs. J. B. Smith. Mrs. J. E. Joiner. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Dickson. Misses Irma and Agnes Roberts and ' Master Hope Roberts. The Misses Roberts are in a critical , condition. The other victims, it is said. ( are now out of danger. On Sunday Judge and Mrs. Smith gave an elaborate dinner, with an ice I cream dessert. Soon after the dinner : every one who had partaken of the cream became ill, physicians pronounc- . ing it ptomaine poisoning. It is sup posed that the poison developed from contact of the cream with metal parts of the freezer. Yesterday the entire nine were re ported improved. Today, however, Mr. . Joiner had a relapse and he died in a , few hours. He leaves several children, besides his wife, who is among those ' poisoned. He was about *SO years of ! age. Funeral arrangements have not ’ been made. , DARROW DEFENSE MAKES A FIGHT TO LET ILL JUROR OFF LOS ANGELES, July 25.—The Darrow defense made a determined assault today : on Juror L. A. Leavitt, demanding that the court excuse him if necessary on the ] ground of ill health and replace him with , the thirteenth juror, A. M. Blakeley. Earl Rogers, chief counsel for Darrow, declared Leavitt went on the jury de claring he had no prejudice and now the I' defense learns for the first time that he 1 had frequently stated his belief that Dar row was guilty. This request was made ; In the absence of the jury. Leavitt ar rived from his home at Elmonte in charge of a deputy Sheriff during the ar gument of Rogers. "Juror Leavitt is here in court ready ' to proceed with the trial,” said Judge Hutton, "and 1 can not excuse him for ill health and put the alternate juror in his place. I do not see any warrant in . law for halting the trial at tills time. In the midst of the evidence, nearing Its close, to examine into the qualifications of the juror. "I’ll hear authorities if you have any on that question." "I offer to prove to make the record.” said Rogers, "that immediately after the ' McNamara trial Juror Leavitt said to ' Jefferson Steele: 'They would have hung ' Haywood and Moyer if that scamp Dar row had not bought the Jury. Harriman ' and all those attorneys knew the Me- 1 Namaras were guilty and they all ought to be hanged along with the McNamaras.' "We offer to show, too, that he fre- 1 quently expressed himself as bitterly op- ' posed to Darrow and to union labor, and ' to show further that his answers as to bis qualifications for juror were not true." 1 HORSE IN “NIGHTMARE” WALKS INTO WINDOW HAYWARD, CAILF , July 25.—A horse ' belonging to Pedro Lorzonson became af flicted with the nightmare and proceeded ' to walk about town until it wandered through a plate glass in a store.

GEORGIA MOOSE SPLIT ON NEGRO Mrs. Felton Calls Taft a Fat Man and No Good—Woman Suffrage Is Indorsed. The Georgia Bull Moose party ip||t hopelessly over the negro question when its convention was opened at the Aragon hotel this afternoon, and soon separated into two conventions, the bolters being headed by C. W. .\lc<’lur<-, W. J. Tilson and R. A. Dewar, who withdrew to another room. The bodv, under the leadership of St. Julien Yates, kept on with its work after sev eral heated speeches, and the rival con ventions are planning to send two set of delegates to the national meeting of the Progressive party. C. W. McClure and five other o.'ln gates announced that they could not agree with the other Bull Moosees and withdrew, refusing to have anything more to do with the first Georgia con vention of the National Progressive party. Their disagreement arose over the negro question. Mrs. W. H. Felton, of Cartersville, and Mrs. Helen Longstreet, of Gair.es ville, were accredited delegates to the convention, which was held at the Ara gon hotel. Mrs. Felton was practical ly offered a place as a delegate to Chicago, but declined on account of her age. In a vigorous speech, the aged wom an condemned Taft for pardoning Morse, and said the president was a fat man and no good as a. president. "He play golf, and that's about all." she added. Woodrow Wilson she called an un known quantity, and •said that ho was either ‘‘Bryanized or Ryanized," cither of which was bad enough. Woman suffrage met a hearty in dorsement from the convention. ir.,l resolutions against the commercializ'd negro vote and against the «h slave” traffic were adopted. Most of the morning was taken up by the. work of the credentials : o">- mittee. Dr. Horace Grant was <’l’><-sen temporary chairman and Sam J. ■' n ' s was selected to act as secretary.
