ATLANTA URGED TO KILL RATS TO LESSEN DANGER OF PLAGUE I . I Kill the rats! The bubonic plague threatens America! This .was the admonition of Dr. Claude A. Smith, city bacteriologist, to day. He said that Atlanta was in no I immediate danger, but that through the I rats the plague had been brought to Porto Rico and Cuba and the Pacific coast, and that it was the part of wis dom to take precautions. The plague is brought from the Asiatic countries to this continent through rats. Rat fleas become infect ed and transmit the disease human beings by biting them. Through in structions from the Federal govern ment, the coast towns have revised their building laws so as to prevent rats, and in many places a bounty is offered for slain rats. While Atlanta has not been warned by the Federal authorities. Dr. Smith said that rats ought to be exterminated, for they do great harm besides carry ing plague germs. Five years ago it was not dreamed that bubonic plague would threaten this country, but world wide travel has become so extensive and rapid that the disease has made its appearance on this side.

APPLICATION FOR HABEAS CORPUS WRIT IS DENIED z Judge Rules That Public Would Be Endangered by Prisoner Being at Large. WHITE PLAINS. N. Y., July 26. Justice Keogh this afternoon handed down a decision denying to Harry K. Thaw his release from Matteawan on a writ of habeas corpus. The decision of Justice Keogh deny ing liberty to Thaw in his third effort to escape from the madhouse was brief. It held that the applicant had not proved his sanity and ordered his re turn to the Matteawan asylum for the insane, from which he was taken when the writ of habeas corpus was sworn out. The court directed Sheriff William J. Doyle to deliver Thaw to the authorities at Matteawan immediately. The decision was on the application of Thaw’s mother. Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, for an order releasing her son. Justice Keogh said: "My whole duty is fully performed when I decide the single question pre sented for decision, merely, is Harry K. Thaw at present sane or insane, and would his release be dangerous to the public peace and safety? Having lis tened to all the testimony and serious ly considered it, I am of- the opinion that Thaw is still insane and that his discharge would be dangerous to the public peace and safety. "The writ, therefore, must be dis missed on the merits and Harry K. Thaw be returned to the authorities at Matteawan.” The application for the writ of habeas corpus set forth that Thaw had never been personally examined by the experts upon whose testimony he was committed to the asylum and that he was now of sound mind. The con tention of his counsel was that he was suffering from insane delusions when he killed White, but that the insanity was temporary only. Mrs. Thaw, the prisoner’s mother, who has been stopping at the Hotel Carlton Arms since the hearing in Thaw's mental condition began here June 17, was much disappointed at the outcome and. while she refuses to be interviewed, it is know that she feels a great Injustice has been done her and her son, in whom she has never lost faith.

BOARDING HOUSE LIFE PERILS GIRLS —JUDGE ELLIS. —4 Court Declares Surroundings Are Bad for Young Women, Especially Attractive Ones. “Any young woman who stays In a pub lic boarding house must not only be by nature of unusual propriety, but must also be unusually fortunate if she does not suffer in her reputation.” Such was the statement of Judge Ellis in superior court today. “However properl) they may be con ducted, boarding houses are not conducive to a goml reputation,” he continued. “I think such places very bad for young women especially attractive ones and believe a woman should not attempt to raise her girls in the surroundings public rooming houses make. “They may be conducted in com pana tive moral cleanliness, but the mere fact that a woman or young girl is constantly thrown in company with a lot of men where none of the restraining ties of the home exist, is had for them.” Judge Ellis made the statement during the case of Mrs Stella Dodgen, who asked an injunction against her divorced husband, James E. Dodgen, through which she sought the custody of their two small children.

FARMER IS SLAIN 81 INJURED WIFE After Shooting Husband Twice, Woman Hacks Him to Death With an Ax. CHARLOTTE, N. July 26.—V. ,J. Hartsell, a fanner, living ten miles from this city, was shot today by his wife, who, seeing that life was not extinct, seized an ax and hacked him to death. The coroner lias been summoned to the scene. Hartsell and ills wife had quarreled last night. Today she met him at the door with a gun and shot him down. As he attempted to rise, she shot a second time. Then, goaded on by the memory of years of abuse, she seized the ax and finished her deadly attack. According to neighbors, the domestic affairs in the Hartsell home are with out a parallel in this section. Hartsell, it is alleged, was the father of children by ills stepdaughter, all living witli his wife under the same roof. An effort was made several years ago to indict Hartsell on this account, but the prose cution was dropped. The Hartsells are well known in the rural districts of Mecklenburg county. FIREMEN, DECEIVED BY SWARMING FLIES, HUNT FOR BLAZE IN STEEPLE SAVANNAH. GA., July 26.—A swarm of sand flies as\ thick as a dark cloud de ceived the inmates of the residence of the Right Rev. Benjamin F. Keiley, bish op of the Catholic‘diocese of Savannah, Into the belief that the spire of the Cathe dral of St. I -hn the Baptist was on tire. From the bishop's house the insects locked like smoke coming ou‘ of a crack in the tall steeple Some one telephoned the fire department. Carrying small chemical tanks, firemen climbed the ladders inside the steeple. Tiro went to >he very top and peeped through the trap door. Thar, it was that they discovered now they had been hoaxed 1 by a lot of flics out for a lark. HOME EDITION 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE Y RE NO WOMAN OF MYSTERV IN GRACE DEFENSE Stranger Seen at Home Day of Shooting Is Called From Boston. HUSBAND WILL BE AT THE TRIAL, SAYS HIS LAWYER Jury List Containing 108 Names Completed—Expect Panel in First 36. That a woman, now in Boston, who was at the West Eleventh street home of Eugene H. Grace on the morning he w«s shot is returning to Atlanta as a witness for the defense of Mrs. Grace in her trial next week was the report at tile court house today, coming from an official of the court. It was said this woman had been sent for by counsel for the defense and would play an important part in clear ing Mrs. Grace of the charge of shoot ing her husband, perhaps the most im portant role of all the witnesses. It was asserted that this woman was seen to leave the Grace residence on the day of the shooting in an automo bile owned and driven by a prominent Atlanta citizen. Attorneys for Mrs. Grace were asked to verify the report this afternoon. They merely said they knew nothing about it and would not discuss the matter further. Abe Steinberg Told Os Seeing Woman. It will be remembered that Abe Stein, berg, a traveling man, signed an affi davit before a Florida justice in which he said he was passing the Grace home on the day of the tragedy and saw a woman on the veranda whom he took to be Mrs. Grace. Afterward he drove past the Piedmont hotel and again saw a woman so closely resembling Mrs. Grace that he bowed to her before he realized his mistake. He was confident that the woman he saw at the home was not Mrs. Grace, but the same per son he afterward saw at the hotel. Grace Will Appear. Says His Lawyer. "Eugene Grace will be here Monday morning unless the physicians attend ing him forbid him to take the trip,” said Lamar Hill, of Grace’s counsel, to day. "Nothing can be given out with cer tainty. for no one can tell what his condition will be Monday morning, it is probable that he will have no relapse by that time.” The Georgian published an interview with Eugene Grace a few weeks ago in which the wounded man said he would come to his wife’s trial if he had to be brought on his cot, but since that time it was announced that he was not gain ing strength as rapidly as expected, and it might be impossible for him to leave Newnan for Atlanta. The statement of itis counsel indicates thjt Grace’s con dition has improved. Grace Can Only Be a Spectator. Just what part Grace will play In the trial is not clear. Lawyers in sist that his evidence can not be placed before the jury under the law which forbids a husband to testify against his wife, and it appears that Grace can only be a spectator. Os course, sight of the wounded man, swathed in ban dages and paralyzed below the waist, might have its effect on the jury. From 108 of the best known citizen* of Atlanta will be drawn the Jury of "twelve good men and true” who must decide next week whether Mrs. Grace is guilty of shooting her husband, with in tent to murder him. The list from which the twelve are to be drawn has been made out by the court. Judge 1.. S. Roan, who will preside at the trial, would not state today wheth er the public would be excluded from the hearing, but the fact that an extra number of chairs were being placed in the court room indicated that it is ex pected a certain number of interested persons will be admitted. The police department has been called upon for a detachment of patrolmen and a ser geant, the court officers anticipating a curious crowd will flock to the court house. Judge Roan is visibly annoyed at the questions insistently asked him, as ha must, of course, decline to discuss the ease in any manner. He takes the po sition that the case of the State vs. Mrs. Daisy Grace is merely No. 1 on the court calendar, differing In no wise
