BILLY SMITH NAMED AS MANAGER SWINDELL AND BECKER OPPOSING PITCHERS IN POSTPONED GAME AT NEW ORLEANS The Atlanta Georgian VOL. XI. NO. 9. SLAYER’S EYES FOR BLIND MAN Cornea of Wife Murderer’s Orbs May Give Paper Seller Sight. Seeing through the eyes of a murderer for the rest of his life is the hope of John Cashin, a peaceful, blind paper seller of At lanta. At his earnest behest ex pert plans are now being made to remove the orbs of a man that the law says shall not live in or der to restore Cashin’s power to see the things of the world in which he has lived for years in total, hopeless darkness. John Cashin would literally apply the ancient Mosaic doctrine of an eye for an eye. The law has said that as Rob ert L Clay killed his wife, Robert L. (.'lay must die. Twelve jurors have de rided that earthly use for Robert L. Clay has passed. His physical being must pay the cost. Rut John Cashin can see ‘hrough the eyes of the slayer. Th. i.-.a 1 lay’s body die, Cashin would have his eyes see, but see from the brain and for the soul of one who has never offended rnun-made laws and who is therefore entitled to live. Clay Hopes for Life; Blind Man for Sight. Clay waits in the Tower in hope that a new chance for life will be given him by the highest court of his state, but as he waits on the judges so Cash in waits on him. For in his death, the man who sells papers in darkness at Whitehall and Alabama streets, hopes for vision of sunshine, of the power to sec his fellow man, of the right to mingle as a member not as a depend ent of society. He has planned and specialists of Atlanta have admitted that there is so much feasibility in his scheme that they are actually investigating the pos sibility of transplanting the cornea of the murderer’s eyes that see into the head of the citizen who is sightless that he may see when the law has been sat isfied with the wife slayer’s life. The plan originated in the brain of Cashin. His earnest, repeated, request was the cause of specialists consider ing even for a moment an operation said to be unknown to ocula" science. Consults Eminent Specialists on Plan. Cashin has the papers that he sells read him each day. One day early this summer the news was read him that a jury had imposed the death pen alty on Clay. The judge had ordered his execution in July. He immediately became obsessed wdth the idea "this man must die, why should not I use his eyes?” The idea grew with the days. Cashin finally decided to consult a physician. He had once been examined by Dr. J. N. Ellis. He called on him again. His plan, as bizarre as Poe ever im agined, was submitted to the physician as a matter of fact business. Dr. Ellis at first gave the man no hope. But Cashin was insistent. His own mind told him that the operation was pos sible. He pleaded with the physician. He finally succeeded. It was decided that if his optic nerves are still serviceable after his years of blindness there is the possi bility that the eyes of a man that has read the death sentence might make him see. To Ask Dr. Calhoun To Make Examination. Dr. Phinizy Calhoun, noted oculist, will be consulted and asked to examine Cashin. -He will decide whether his optic nerves will admit of possibility of the transplanting of the eyes. Here Is the plan: As soon as Clay has paid the pen alty of tjis crime, his eyes will be re moved before the body is taken from the death chamber. They will be placed in a warm saline solution and Continued on Pago Two.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—The house this afternoon passed the steel bill over the president’s veto by a vote of 173 to 83. WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.—Unde terred by the action of the Democratic and insurgent Republican coalition in the house, which passed the wool bill over his veto yesterday, President Taft today sent a message to congress in which he vetoed the steel bill, passed by the house and senate, and sent to him for his signature. Earlier in the day there had been ru mors that the president was so bitter over the failure of ‘‘standpat” Repub licans to attend yesterday’s session and support his stand that he would allow the steel bill to become a law, and only the president’s message end ed these rumors. The president based his veto of the steel bill—the metal schedule of the tariff —on the ground that It was framed ‘‘without consulting the reports of the tariff board, and provided only for revenue and not for the protection of American industries.” Explains His Objections. In a lengthy message the president enumerated his objections under the principle heads: First, he took exceptions to the act of congress in overlooking the publica tions of the tariff board, and chided the house for paying no attention to the findings of this body. Second, he objected to the schedule because it provides a ariff for revenue only and not for promotion. Third, because of its tremendous im mediate effect on millions of working men and their families and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods, without first providing for a careful and distinterested inquiry into the condi tions of the whole industry. In summing up his reason for with holding his approval of the measure, the president said: Tariff Board Ignored. “From the outset of my administra tion I have advised a revision of the tariff on a non-partisan study of the facts. I have provided the means for securing such information in the appointment of a tariff board. Their thorough work, already completed on several schedules, has justified my con fidence in this method. The principle is indorsed by chambers of commerce and boards of trade in almost every city of importance in the country. "The proposed bill has not been framed on the basis of any such study of the industry. Avowedly its rates are fixed with no consideration of any thing but revenue. The principle of protection is disregarded entirely, and therefore it is not too much to say that the effect of these sweeping changes on the welfare of those engaged in the various industries has been disre garded." WANTED HUSBAND ASKS GIRL WIFE HE LEFT TO MEET HIM Mrs. Mary McEachin Hutcheson, of Brooker, Ga., who married Conway Hutcheson, when he advertised for a country girl as a wife, and who said she was deserted by him, received a tele gram from Hutcheson today. Hutcheson wired from Milledgeville that he would reach Atlanta late this afternoon and asks that his wife meet him at the station. The telegram hints at a plausible explanation and a possi ble reconciliation. The girl arranged to meet him. The girl, who is 20 years old. had never seen Hutcheson until she answer ed an advertisement, reading: "Wanted, a good country girl for a wife; am a rich Virginian." Hutcheson visited the girl at her par ents' home, and. despite the objections of her father, the pair came to Atlanta and were married August 1.

CHATTANOOGA. TENN., Aug. 14. William Andrew Smith will manage the Atlanta baseball club next year. The contract has not been signed as yet and will not be until the close of the present season. But a verbal agreement has been entered into and BUI Smith will be in Atlanta September 17 to take over the club and to resume the position from which he was de posed after winning the pennant for Atlanta in 1909. Since that time the Cracker club has had a succession of unsuccessful man agers and apparently driven to desper ation, the Atlanta Baseball association has closed with the man who was'un ceremoniously canned jl.st three years ago. Let Out by Andrews. The news leaked out here when Man ager Smith notified President O. B. An drews, of the local club, that he would not serve as Chattanooga's manager again next year. This he did by wire from Mobile. Up to this time it was supposed that Smith would return here next year. Though lie has been particularly un successful In Chattanooga, it was deemed best to offer him the manage ment a third year. When this deter mination was made known to Smith, he withheld his decision. At that time it was not known what Smith had in mind, but it later leaked out that he was dickering with Atlanta. The deal was finally closed in Mobile, and from there Smith notified President Andrews that he would return to Atlanta. Jordan May Succeed Him, It is virtually certain that the man agement of the Chattanooga team next year will go to "Kid" Elberfeld or to Otto Jordan. Bill Smith went to Atlanta as a manager in 1906. Previous to that time he had managed a pennant winner in Macon, and he has had a long and suc cessful career as manager and player in various minor leagues. His first year with Atlanta he had no luck, but in 1907 he gave the Cracker club the first pennant it had had in twenty years. With a pitching staff made up of Russell Ford, “Hoot-Mon” McKenzie, the late Rube Zeller. Roy Castleton and Bob Spade, with a pair of catchers of the caliber of Sid Smith and Ed Sweeney, with Jim Fox, Otto Jordan, Lou Castro and Bill Dyer in the in field, and with Dode Paskert, George Winters and Jesse Becker in the out field, he had an aggregation that won the pennant after one of the most ex citing races of baseball’s history. Team Riddled by Sales. The following year the Crackers took a slump, owing to the fact that the team was riddled by drafts and sales, but in 1909 Smith again got together a pennant-winning team. The Crackers, after a poor start and a bad slump that lasted all through May, took the lead late in June and did not give It up. The team that year consisted of Rohn and Henn, at first; Jordan, at second; Scotty Walker, at third; Newton, short stop; Lee, Bayless. Wintersand Moran, outfielders; Smith and McMurray, catchers; Rogers, Fisher. Bartley, Max well, Atkins, Johns and Viebahn, pitch ers. The one-sldedness of the race made the season a poor one financially and, as Smith could not get along with the baseball association over certain mat ters of handling the team, he was canned at the end of the season. Since then he has managed the Buffalo and Chattanooga teams with varied success. THE WEAT HER Forecast: Fair tonight and Thues day. Temperatures; 8 a. m., 70; 10 a. mm, 81; 12 noon, 84; 2 p. m., 86.

Chambers, of 272 Formwait street, says it Is worth SB,OOO to wait three and a half hours for a cab. In two suits filed by herself and her husband. O. G. Chambers, she asks that amount of the Atlanta Baggage and Cab Company for the company’s delay in sending a call for her on July 16. Mrs. Chambers says she was serious ly ill and called for the vehicle to carry her one and a half blocks from No. 100 Crumley street to 272 Formwait street. She asserts that she called the cab at 5 o’clock in the afternoon, and it did not arrive until 8:30. The suit was filed in city court today. ISONEWHO HAWKS GOODS, RULES THE SUPREME COURT According to the state supreme court a peddler, in the meaning of the Georgia law licensing vending, is the person who actually goes out in the highways and by ways and hawks his goods. A person who may hire the peddler Is not a peddler at all. The court's definition came as the re sult of an appeal from the judgment of the superior court of Tattnall county made by S. P. Smith, the sheriff, and other county officers, who had been enjoined from licensing .1. E. Whidden Whidden, It seems, had peddled for a Confederate veteran, who, under the law, Is not required to pay a license. The high court held that Whidden was the peddler because he did the hawking, and, therefore, the clause exempting Con federate veterans did not apply to him. ATLANTANS QUITTING THE CIGARETTE HABIT; SMOKE MORE CIGARS The sale of cigarettes In Atlanta has decreased 25 per cent since January, according to statistics gathered at a well known Whitehall street stand. This applies to all classes of ciga rettes. A partial explanation of this is found in the fact that there has been an increase in the cigar trade. "1 know of no reason why this should be,” said the proprietor, "unless smok ers gradually are turning away from cigarettes to cigars. It's a fact, how ever, that fewer people are smoking cigarettes in Atlanta."

OFFICER ROASTS CAPTAIN AND IS ARRESTED SAVANNAH, GA.. Aug. 14.—Offense shown a United States army captain while he is umpiring a baseball game is sufficient provocation for the arrest of a non-commissioned officer. This precedent has been established at Kort Screven, where a senior sergeant ma jor, a man with a record of 25 years of exemplary service, made a remark that wasn’t exactly in accord with the cap tain's ideas of respect to a superior of ficer. Baseball is a popular pastime at Fort Screven. An officer who is keenly in terested in the sport volunteered his services as umpire. Then the inevita ble happened. The captain's umpiring didn't suit everybody, and some of the players started in to roast his “limps.” The captain tried to take the roasts in the proper spirit, but a captain is ac customed to being shown respect, and it wasn’t long before his ire was aroused. Although the offending non-com. was subjected to the indignity of arrest, the matter was adjusted without a court martial. Investigation developed the fact that the remark was spoken in jest. 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE R. H E. U. S. VICE CONSUL TO COLOMBIA KILLED BY ASSASSIN; PROBE ON WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—Wm. B. Mae Master, American vice and deputy consul at Cartagena, Colombia, has been assassinated. This news reached the state department today. Mae Master, who was an American born in Colombia, was shot in the back while hunting, apparently by’ one of his guides. Other attempts to murder him have been foiled, several of the conspirators having been jailed for participation in the plot. The state department has ordered an Investigation. NEW YORK YANKEES CAN BUY PITCHER KEATING BOSTON. Aug. 14.—The directors of the I>awrence baseball club, of the New Eng land league, have the authority to sell Pitcher Ray H. Keating, of that club, to the New York team, of the American league, for $5,000. Judge Morton, tn the equity session ot the superior court, refused to issue an in junction asked for by the plaintiff in the suit of Joseph Sullivan against Louis Pieper and Daniel A Moon. The defend ants are directors of the Lawrence club, and as such had agree'! to sell Keating to the New York Americans for $6,000.
