2 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 WASHINGTON YOUTH DROWNS. WASHINGTON.

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 low my example."

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 vited 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 to give money to the church.

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.

Chester Rath bone, Joseph Areyski, Tony Kuckiski and Walter Nedeski were arrested. HE “STEALS” HIS BABY AND WINS BACK WIFE ST. LOUIS.
