CHICAGO. Auk. s.—While arrange-|

examination b> alienist* of Jacob Fey
Guthrie, the Chicago "Raffles." who
says he was lured from his profession
of teaching by reading detective stories,
the police compiled an Inventory of the
prisoner's loot.
From the list of articles already un
earthed it Is believed by the police that
over $350,000 worth of art works, jew •
elry and other articles will be found !
before the task is tinishefl.
Fearing that Gutbrie would attempt >
suicide, Captain Halpin stationed u ,
guard over him and the disposition of i
his case will depend on the result of the '
examination today.
There Is no doubt that Guthrie's de- I
sense will be insanity. It is possible]
that he may nev r be brought to trial ,
for robbing Chicago society leaders, but I
will be adjudged insane and sent to an
asylum.
Dr. Leslie \\ s. hwab, the Guthrie
family physician, declared today that
the young "Raffles" is an "educated
fool" and "dynamite kleptomaniac.

"He has been a book worm evert
since his childhood," said tite physician. i
“Rut it was not overstuds that caused .
his mental derangement. Aside from i

ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B NEVIN.
Tite legislature has bft only niit*
working days, including today. If it
cuts nut next Aiaetirday it will have
I thereafter only three days In w hich to
| complete its labors.
This legislature is unique in that it
has served under two governors one
I session under Governor Smith and one
j under Governor Brow n. In those <-ir
i cumstances "it ought to have had a
| w hack at about every conceivable va
-1 riety of reform and doubtless it would
have had. had It elected to try out all
suggestions coming to it from the ex
ecutive office since it was sworn in
It is a pro-Smfth legislature, and it
sent the governor it found in office to
the United States senate, but it did not
expert to have “Little Joe” elected to
the job it vacated in Governor Smith's
favor, It has been permitted to enjoy
I many happy moments, and it has had
itn swallow its share of crow. It hasn't
I done much, and it hasn't undone much
j And it max bo that that is a pretty
| good certificate of character for it.
There is a great deal of unfinished
business before tlic house and the s< di
late. and both will adjourn soon with
] the bulk of it still unfinished. A few
.afternoon sessions will be held between
| this time and adjournment, and one <>r
two night sessions.
I 'm the night of Wednesday, Angus'
14, the clock will be set back an hour or
sn after midnight and the usual hymns
will be sung while the final conference®

for this legislature.

Al endy it numbe of fiewspapers
throughout the state "have their sus
picions" about smm tilings that c’s
i going mi in Georgia.
For instance. The Macon Telegraph,
w hich is one among man*, carried Sun
day this interesting and gossipy bit of
reading matter: ,
There is a growing impression
that the candidacy of Nash R
Broyles, recorder of Atlanta, can
didate for the state court of ap
peals against Judge .1, R. Pottle, is
backed by the prohibition elemenl
in the state.
It is rather a significant fact that
j Judge Broyles decided to enter the
ace about the same time Hoopei
Alexander was setting the stage
scenerx for his own dramatic entry
into the gubernatorial race The
view obtains generally that Judge
Broyles and Mr. Alexander rope
sent the extreme prohibition ele
ment for the respective offices, and
that both will receive the support
and backing of that crowd
Many of the south and middle
Georgia members, too. are a bit
peevish over what they term At
lanta's effort to "hog everything."
They point to the fact that Atlanta
has one man on the court of ap
peals, Judge Ben Htll. and that
Judge Pottle Is the only south
Georgia man in that court.
These men say that Atlanta is
not entitled to two men on the
court, and should be content with
their one representative. Judg-
Pottle practically has the unani
mous backing of the bar of the
state, and In the brief time he lias
been on the bench has demonstrat
ed hi- fitness and capacity for Hie
work.
It will be recalled that Judge
Powell resigned while John M. Sla
ton was acting governor, and that
Slaton named Pottle as Powell’s
successor.
The politicians of Geo gia are about
as quick to "smell a mouse" in a situa
tion as anybody could be, whellier

thority on state finances. He served
one terjn as chairman of the appro
priations committee of the house, and
that committee never had a chairman

affairs He can tell, without reference
to any compilation of figures, < xactiv
what the state’s income was for an*-'

The gentleman from Meriwether

subject that is sure to bring him to his

question of the state's absolute sol
vency and complete ability to pay its
debts.
Whenever the "calamity howler" or
the state-is-in-bankrupt orator arise.-
in the house he is sure to hear from
Jone*. Jones says Georgia is not living
beyond her means, and has not for
many sears, ami that all suggestions
to the contrary are cheap politics and
claptrap.
And the dangerous things about
Jones, too. is that he is sure to be right
1 there with the figures to prove what
he says!

IN LATTIMER TRAGEDY

The coroner's jury today returned a
verdict of murder and suicide in the
ease of W. E. Lattimer, a bartender of
r Albany. Ga.. who at 115 t-2 Decatur
.street yesterday fired three bullets Into
the bortx of Kinnia t'aritreli, a girl there,
said to be his former wife, and then
shot himself fatally.
The girl xvas found on the floor
by other inmates of the place Latti
mer died upon the- Grady hospital oper
ating table.
A frail woman 40 years old entered
Poole's undertaking rooms while the

The highest point of woman's hap
piness is reached only through moth
i erhood, in the clasping of her child
within her arms. Yet the mother-to
be is often fearful of nature's ordeal
and shrinks from the suffering inci
dent to its consummation. But for
nature’s ills and discomforts nature
provides remedies, and in Mother's
Friend is to be found medicine of
great value to every expectant mother.
It is an emulsion for external
- application, composed of ingredients
, which act with beneficial and sooth
' ing effect on those portions of the
system involved. It is intended to
prepare the system for the crisis, and
thus relieve, in great part, the suffer
ing th’-ough which the mother usually
passes. The regular use of Mother's
Friend will repay any mother in the
comfort it affords before, and the help
ful restoration to health and strength
it brings about after baby comes.

Industrial development of the west
side territorj adjacent to the railroad
tracks will be begun in a short time,
following the closing of deals aggre
gating $400,000 by which a syndicate of
business men has acquired a large
tract. Tracks will be laid through the
property and every road entering At
lanta will have acess to the trackage,
giving tenants the use of any road and
providing competition on rates.
The syndicate bought up property in
Walkei street extending from Hayes to
Nelson streets in the Terminal district.
It is close to the Terminal station and
near almost every Important railroad
yard. Il is expected to purchase from
the city the lot now occupied by the
Walker Street school.
The men in the syndicate are F. M.
Stocks, Thomas F. Stocks, W. S. Mc-
Kernie. Charles Loridans, George
Walters, Robert A. Smythe, B. M.
Blount, ■W. J. Blalock, W. J. Morrison

The land now is occupied by old res
