4 KEEP INSURANCE MONEY IN STATE Life Insurance Companies Favor Bill Requiring Invest ments in Home Securities. Georgians generally and life insur ance men in particular are deeply in terested in the bill of Senator W. 8. Mann, of the Sixteenth district, which seeks to force all life insurance com panies doing business in the state of Georgia to invest not less than 35 per cent of their Georgia premium income in Georgia securities. This bill comes up for a hearing be fore the senate committee on the judi ciary Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock, and life insurance men everywhere will watch the result of that hearing as something likely to affect greatly their business for years to come, not only in Georgia, but throughout the entire South. The Georgia and Southern life insur ance companies take the position that it is nothing but right, and just that companies doing business in this state should be required to invest at least one-third of their income from the state in Gate securities. They hold that investments in Geor gia are quite as profitable as invest ments elsewhere, that they may be made quite as secure, and that it is nothing more than business equity to demand of concerns taking millions from the people yearly that they inter est themselves directly and vitally In the affairs of those people. The proposed Mann law is In line with the laws of several other South ern states, which exact similar condi tions of companies operating therein. And, while there has been some "kick ing" upon the part of some of the big companies of the East, the general ef fect upon life insurance in those states is said to have- been decidedly beneficial and helpful. The impression is that the bill will be recommended favorably by the judi ciary committee, and that it eventually will pass both the senate and the house and receive the governor’s signature.

GRACE? “My Wife Did It" He Says HIS STORY: From the first, except for a brief in terval at St. Josephs hospital imme diately following the discovery of his being shot, Eugene H. Grace contended that his wife had shot him. Her reasons, he said, were that she was tired of him and that she wanted his insurance money. His version of the case is in sub stance as given to the press from time to time as follows: 1 am not certain that my wife shot me, but the circumstances look suspicious. • • » Yes, she shot me. She was tired of me. For a long time I had noticed that she was tired of me. but I did not sus pect that she would choose such desperate measures to rid herself of me. How she can deliberately claim otherwise is a mystery to me. She shot me and she knows that she did. She was a beneficiary, you know, of my insurance poli cies. I waked Tuesday morning with a pain in my side. I examined myself as best I could and found blood at my side. I told Daisy that 1 had been shot and asked her to call a doctor. She seemed in no hurry to do so. I pleaded with her. Finally she went to the tele phone—came back presently and said that the doctor could not be located. Then the servants came into the room. Says His Wife Left Him Dying in Room. She fooled around for a while and then left—locking the door be hind her. There 1 lay, weak, help less and dying. During the after noon I managed finally to reach the telephone and in that manner I notified the police, "Daisy, you know that you shot me,” I told her when she came into my room at St. Josephs hos pital. "Eugene, how can you say such a thing?’’ she replied. She threatened to take from me the power of attorney I exercised in her properties If I continued to say that she shot me. f wish to be set right before the people. Many wild and untrue stories have gone out about my life before I was married. I may have been in a measure indiscreet —what boy hasn't, but the most of the stories are lies—lies told in an at tempt to blacken my character. As a boy my life was blameless, so far as I could make it. 1 was never a goody-goody, but 1 was no ALBANIAN REBELS IN CONTROL;AGREE TO DISCUSS PEACE Salonika, turkey, July 27.—The Turkish government Is prostrated throughout all the northern part of the great province of Albania, according to dispatches received here today.

If I had known the true charac ter of my wife I would never have married her. She was a woman of the boulevards—a frequenter of cases and other well known resorts. She was fond of the gay life. Aft er she had lived with me a while she began to grow tired. I sup pose that she was dissatisfied with the quietude of my life —then she needed money. She shot me—that is all there is to It. * • ♦ “She Couldn’t Lie Before My Face.’’ If I could look my wife in the face when she testified before a jury, she wouldn’t lie about this thing. She'd have to tell the truth. I guess it sounds aS though I were seeking retribution, but I am not. But I want her punished. I could convince any jury. If I were going to die this min ute I'd swear she shot me. I’d swear she shot me cold-bloodedly and left me as I am. I was a man. I was six feet four inches tall and weighed 195 pounds. Now look at me. I reiterate that she shot me. She shot me as I lay asleep because she was tired of me and needed money. She refused to ge< a doc tor and she stuffed the telephone with paper. The only reason she didn't cut the line was because she was afraid the telephone company would make an immediate Investi gation. No matter what the outcome of the trial is. I will take immediate steps to obtain a divorce as soon as possible.

She Says HER STORY: From the beginning until the present, Mrs. Daisy Ople Grace has held that she is innocent of having shot her hus band. From time to time she has inti mated that she does know who did the shooting, but has never made a defi nite statement. In regard to statements purporting to have come from her husband, she has. for the most part, taken refuge in the belief that he did not authorize them. The statements themselves she denies. Her version of the case, as* told to reporters, is as follows: The first Information of Eugene’s having been shot came to me when I was in Newnan. I left him sound and well, so far as I knew. A telegram came to Mrs. Hill and told that Eugene had been found wounded in his home on Eleventh street. I was terribly shocked, and expressed an immediate anxiety to go back to Atlanta at once. It was not until I had alighted from the train that I learned of his having accused me. I went to the hospital and begged him to keep me from prison by telling the truth. He said nothing. From time to time statements were issued by him which accused me of the most cold-blooded guilt. I do not believe that he said all that he was credited with having said.

The obviously ridiculous charge of the NEGRO BURGLAR SHOT BY POLICEMAN WHOM HE TRIED TO ATTACK Policeman J. W. McWilliams, Jr., shot and perhaps fatally wounded a negro burglar, George Warner, in the store of Morris & Thomas, 70 Currier street, early this morning. The negro attack ed the officer with an ice pick when he had been cornered in the basement of the store. McWilliams shot him three times —in the head. In the breast and through both legs. The negro is at Grady hospital. Warner has been driving an ice wag on. Just six months ago he completed a four-year term on the county chain gang for burglary. He had burglar ized the store of R. V. Martin, 242 Edgewood avenue, iast night, before his run-in with the police, and got 100 pennies. This is the second negro shot by Mc- Williams in less than a year. He killed Paul McDaniel, a negro caught bur glarizing the store of C. H. McHan, 15 East avenue, last Thanksgiving.

If the marriage was a marriage for mon ey, the idea existed with him. He had no money. I furnished him with money to start in business. I knew Eugene before Mr. Ople, my first husband, died. IN THREE MINUTES I COULD CLEAR MYSELF BEFORE A JURY. IF HE WAS SHOT, HE KNOWS WHO SHOT HIM. HE KNOWS THAT I DIDN’T DO IT. Here is what happened the day of the shooting: My husband was to go to Phila delphia. While he was absent. I was to go to Newnan and stay with his mother. When Mr. Grace arose, he complained of feeling ill. I left the house at 12:15 o’clock. He was still in his night clothes, and in sisted that I should go. He had at first intended going on the 11 o'clock train, but was feeling so bad that he decided to wait until 3 o’clock. Mr. Grace never showed up at the Terminal station, as he promised, before I left, but I thought nothing of it. His Accusation. Gave Her Horror. I had no intimation that any thing was wrong until T reached Newnan. His parents had received a telegram saying he was shot. I was so distressed that I didn’t even remove my hat and cloak. Mr. and Mrs. Hill and I came back to At lanta on the next train. It was bad enough to learn suddenly that my husband had been shot, but I was horrified to learn that he had ac cused me. I did not lock the door to his room when I left. The key was al ways left in the outside of the door, and when the door was locked it was placed over the door. I us ually kept it locked, in order to keep the servants from meddling. But as Mr. Grace was still in the room the morning of March the sth, I did not lock it. . . . No matter what my husband has said of me—if he has said any thing—l will go to this trial with out any bitterness toward him. My whole purpose will be to clear my self absolutely before the jury and before all people. What Makes a Woman? One hundred and twenty pounds, more or less, of bone and muscle don’t make a woman.

Cabinet Minister Kiammil Pasha and Maiimud Mukhtar Pasha were the two guests most seriously stricken. In the midst of the feast they fell, writhing, to the floor and only the hardest ef forts of the court physicians saved their lives.

It is said that several men of the highest rank in public life have been implicated by the servants’ confessions, and that the government is fearful their arrest will precipitate the revolution which is threatening to disrupt the em pire.
