MASSEE RETURNS
HONE LIKE II HERO
Midnight Parade for Macon
Capitalist After Tennessee-
Carolina Experieince.
MACON GA.. July 27.—Like the re
turn of a conquering hero was the
home-coming last night of W. Jordan
Massee, Macon capitalist, after his run
in with Tennessee and South Carolina i
officials at Spartanburg and Aiken, S.
C. Thursday and yesterday. A drum '
and bugle corps, 30 automobiles loaded
with leading citizens and hundreds of
interested spectators participated in a
demonstration that lasted ujitil after
midnight.
Mr. Massee came to Macon on the
very first train from Augusta, after
Governor Cole L. Blease, of South Caro
lina, late in the afternoon, at Aiken,
had revoked tin extradition for his re
turn to Tennessee, following the tele
graphic withdrawal of the requisition
by Governor Ben \V. Hooper, of Ten
nessee. Telegrams from Aiken and
Augusta had informed Macon friends of |
the outcome of the affair and that Mr.'
Massee and his Macon lawyers were]
en route home. The drummers and
buglers and autos were assembled at
the depot when the train came in. Mr
Masses was loaded into the biggest
car. at the head of the, procession and
then the home-coming parade was on.
It wound in and out of all the down
town business streets and into some of
the residence thoroughfares.
Mr. .Massee today looks upon his ex
periences humorously. He is not in
clined. as many thought he would be,
to criticise Governor Blease, whom he
characterizes as a "good fellow.”

Hooper Withdraws
Massee Requisition
AIKEN. S. July 27.—Upon the
receipt of a telegram from Governor
Ben W. Hooper, of Tennessee, with
drawing his requisition. Governor Cole
L. Blease, late yesterday afternoon
cancelled the extradition lie bad issued ,
for the return of \V. Jordan Massee, of
Macon, Ga., to Columbia, Tenn., and
ordered the extradition proceedings be- j
gun on Thursday at Spartanburg, to be
dropped and Mr. Massee's bond of $lO,-
OQO to be cancelled.
Governor Hooper wired Governoi
Blease from his home at Newport,
Tenn., after General J. B. Cox. United
States district attorney at Knoxville,
and other prominent Tennesseeans had
advised him to take this course. Gov
ernor Hooper's message explained that
the requisition had been issued by his
secretary during his absence from
Nashville and that he did not intend
to endeavor to bring about Mr. Mas
see's extradition except from Georgia,
where it had already been refused.
Blease Plays Part in
3 Extradition Cases
The promptness with which Govern
or Cole L. Blease, of South Carolina,
was at first disposed to honor the
requisition for the return of W. J. Mas
see. the Macon capitalist, to Tennessee
to answer charges in that state, is
doubly significant. It is hinted that
there was a motive behind the South
Carolina executive's action—to get
even with Georgia through Massee for
the refusal of Governor Joseph M.
Brown, last year, to deliver Thomas B.
Felder to South Carolina officers on
Governor Blease's requisition and to
return a favor on the part of the Re
publican governor of Tennessee, Ben
W. Hooper, after his Democratic pre
decessor. Governor M. R. Patterson,
had refused to recognize a Blease
requisition. Governor Hoke Smith last
fall refused to recognize a Hooper
requisition for' Massee’s arrest in Geor
gia
Georgians are familiar with the ef
forts of Governor Blease to get Mr.
Felder in South Carolina, but the Ten
nessee affair is little known here.
The Hebe-t Case.
C. .1. Hebert, a stock broker and in
surance promoter of Chattanooga, fig
med prominently a few years ago in
the sale of a South Carolina insurance
company. Litigation follow ed. In which
Hebert was accused of fraudulently
withholding a large sum. which he
claimed was due him as his profit for
negotiating the deal. Criminal charges
were preferred against Hebert, and
Governor Blease Issued a requisition
on Governor Patterson, of Tennessee,
for Hebert s arrest Governor Patter
son. after a hearing similar to that
given Mr. Feldet by Governor Brown,
refused to honor the requisition.
When Hoope.- succeeded Patterson,
Blease renew'd the requisition and
Hooper granted it. Hebert, however,
fnstltued habeas co: pus proceedings
and for a year has been able success
fully to resist the efforts to take him
to South Carolina. Hebert declares
there is South Carolina polities back of
the charges against him and that
Blease is attempting to use him as a
tool to get even with some of his polit
ical enemies.
The Massee-Felder-Hebert extradi
tion cases all have a common bond of
interest, because of the conspicuous
and agg essive part Governor Blea-e
has played in them

CHAPERON PASSE,
ASSERTS 0,5. GIRL
They Are a Bugaboo, and Have
Spoiled Many Courtships,
She Says.
LOS ANGELES. July 27. —"Chap-
erons and all that they represent are
useless appendages to society. They
are bugaboos, the mention of whose
presence raises a cold chill. Let the
decadent English aristocracy keep these
mellowed dames as part and parcel of
itself. American young women of to
day have no need of a chaperon. They
are well able to do without them."
These were the independent senti
ments expressed today by Miss Belle J.
Brittan, daughter and heiress of the
late Colonel Nathaniel J. Brittan, mil
lionaire clubman of San Francisco,
traveler and antique collector. Miss
Brittan, who is a belle of the exclusive
San Mateo society set, had just re
turned from a visit to Long Beach,
where she went unattended by a chap
eron.
“More than one happy flirtation that
might have ended tn marriage has been
snowed under and frozen at its birth
by the stern presence of a lantern
visaged chaperon,” continued Miss
Brittan. "I have abandoned this to
tally useless custom, which is of no
earthly use. An American girl can
conduct herself in such away that she
will command respect wherever she
goes, whether she is accompanied by
a chaperon or not. 1 hope that every
American girl, w th even mediocre in
telligence, will have the courage •<. fol

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY. JULY 27, 1912.
Rev. W. W. Memminger Wants
Men to Feel at Home at
Parish Meetings.
"It's better to smoke here than
hereafter."
"Tlte church should not be a b<w
to fellowship."
"Men feel more at home when
they can smoke at will, and that's
the way 1 want the men to feel in
my church." i
"I let the young men of my
church smoke while I preach the
gospel to them in the parish house,
and I smoke with them and en
courage them to talk about the
affairs of the church."
"The day has gone by when the
church is rigid and cold to its
young. To embrace youth the
church must itself remain young.”
"My club smokers to the young
men of All Saints will prove mote
beneficial to the church than any
other one feature. 1 can reach men
through them that I could reach in
no other way.”—Rev. W. W. Mem
minger.
Rev. W W Memminger. rector of
All Saints Episcopal church, announces
that club smokers to the young men of
his church will be held monthly in the
parish house.
The rector is a voting man himself
and takes a iieculiar interest in the
.voting men of the church. While in
college he was a star player on the
baseball team and was well known as
a. track man. He went to the Univer
sity of the South at Sewanee, Tenn.
Since leaving college he has kept his
physical self by constant boxing and
fencing.
Last spring he conceived the idea of
holding smokers for the men of the
church and gave two of them. So suc
cessful was the plan that he has an
nounced that it will be a regular fea
ture. beginning this fall.
Money Matters Barred.
The rector and his vestrymen will at
tend the smokers and every young
man who is a member of the • hurt’ll,
or who feels an interest in it, is in

Tabbs will be placed in the parish
house with chairs comfortably grouped
around them, and on the tables will be
plenty of the best cigars and cigarettes.
Pities may be brought along by the men
who have a fondness of taking their
nicotine in this way.
One thing will be barred from the
smokers and that is the discussion of
money matters.
“Nobody can come to the smokers
of my (hutch and feel that he is being
persuaded here so that be can be isked

FLYERS SUED BE
EARNERS IN VAIN
Court Denies Injunction and
Grants Slight Damages to
One Only for Crop Injury.
PARIS, July 27.—The action by four
land owners against M. Maurice Far
man has been followed with great in
terest by those interested in aviation.
The land owners each claimed SI,OOO
damages, and sought to restrain M.
Farman and his pupils from flying over
their properties in the neighborhood of
Buc. In addition, they asked for an in
junction forbidding aeroplanes to fly
over private property unless at a height
of 600 feet, and demanded that aviators
should fit silencers to their motors.
One of the land owners subsequently
withdrew' from the case, as M. Farman
had leased his land. The cotirt found
that the land of M. Pertrand was sit
uated, at a considerable distance from
the aerodrome, and that p had not been
proved that an aeroplane had descend
ed on his property. His claim was dis
allowed.
M. Louis Bringantt, another of the
landlords, was non-suited because he
brought forward no proof of his con
tention that owing to the noise r»f the
aeroplanes gamfes had been driven from
his land.
The fourth landlord. M. .Vlauge. was
more successful. He obtained SIOO
damages in respect to descents by avi
ators on land under cultivation. As to
the injunction demanded that the
height of aeroplanes flying over private
property should he regulated, it was
refused, the court declaring that in the
absence of any law- governing aerial
navigation the matter was outside its
jurisdiction. Only complaints of actual
damage done on land by aeroplanes
could be dealt with.
“BARGAIN” DANCE WITH
BRIDE STARTS A RIOT
ST. LOUIS. July 27.—The wedding
of Stanley Groska 'and his bride pro
gressed along peaceful lines until one
of the guests insisted on having a bar
gain dance with the bride. Then there
was a riot and two men went to the
city hospital and five others to the po
lice station.
Following an ancient Polish custom,
each guest at the wedding dropped a
dollar into a plate every time he
danced with the bride. That young
woman had waltzed herself into a neat
little dowry when, shortly before 11
p. m.. one of the guests wanted to
purchase a dance for 50 cents.
Nobody was able -to tell the police
just how it started, but beer bottles
began flying through the air and then
knives were wielded.
Joseph Wisniewski was cut on the
right thigh and his scalp was torn, and
Vladislaus Areyski was slashed across
the face. Both were taken to the hos
pital. Joe Schwartz. Chester Rath
bone, Joseph Areyski, Tony Kuckiski
and Walter Nedeski were arrested.

AND WINS BACK WIFE
ST. LOUIS. July 27. —After disputing

two-year-old daughter, Dorothy, James
Anderson and his wife. Martha, were
reconciled. As a result, a divorce suit

Anderson took the child about noon
from the home of his brother, where
Mrs. James Anderson and the little
girl had been boarding. The brother
