PIRATES DEFEAT GIANTS The Atlanta Georgian PLATE SPORTS Read For Profit—GEORGIAN IV ANT ADS—Uss For Results VOL. XL NO. 16. BULLIOff OPEN WAR; NO STATE TICKET Perkins Issues Orders, and E. L. Cooney, N. Y. Life Man, Will Play Big Part. XA jth prominent Georgia businessmen it the head of its executive organiza tion, and with the promises of a coffer full of cash to be distributed for cam paign purposes, the Bull Moose party of Georgia is planning to open in a few days a fight to sweep the state for Roosevelt. There will be no effort by the Pro gressives to put out a state ticket. This has been definitely decided on. "We considered it utterly unwise to make any such attempt,” said National Committeeman McClure today. "All our energies will be devoted to putting Georgia's electoral vote In the Roose velt i "lumn. It may be that tn one or two districts we will have candidates for congress, but this still is under ad visement." Perkins Sends Orders Direct. The word for the sort of a campaign and the sort of leaders was sent by none other than George W. Perkins, and • there was immediate peace, tranquility and harmony in the Bull Moose ranks of Georgia. The word was that Bull Moose cam paign funds would not be available for use in this state if the same methods of squabbling for patronage and pie that always distinguished the Republi can party in the South were employed by the Progr lives here. The worf /as sent straight. It was delivered I / E. L. Cooney, of Atlanta, general manager for Georgia, of the New York Life Insurance Company, of which company Mr. Perkins was for merly chairman of the board of di rectors. and in which he is still largely interested. It was spoken at a quiet little social gathering of the Progressive chieftains held at the home of Roger A. Dewar, wherb the chieftains discussed the po litical situation and an excellent re past. Mr. Cooney, who had hitherto not figured in the limelight in the Moose movement, is a personal friend and a business associate of long standing of Mr. Perkins. When he spoke, the chief tains knew that he spoke with au thority. After the repast, he told the gather ing that Mr. Perkins had said that he had no intention of putting money in the Georgia campaign, unless he knew that money was being used legitimate ly by a person in whose business abil ity and political acumen he had the utmost confidence. In short, his inten tion was that the Bull Moose should not be preyed upon by political harpies that Invariably flock to new movements in the hope that purse strings of the move ment will be loosely held. Big Business Men Enlisted in Move. The inference was obvious Mr. Coon ey had long been associated with Mr. Perkins. Mr. Perkins had confidence in Mr. Cooney. Beyond the shadow of a doubt. Mr. Cooney was the proper per son to handle the campaign. But the available places were all fill ed W. J. Tillson had been elected state chairman. C. W. McClure bad been chosen national committeeman. A place had to be found for Mr. Cooney, it was thereupon discovered that the Pro gressives were in need of an executive committee, and Mr. Cooney was just the right man for chairman of that b'-'y. And the details of the Georgia cam paign arc to be conducted by the ex ecutive committee, with Me srs. Tillson and McClure acting as ex-officio and advisory members It Is the plan that the executive com mittee be composed of business nu-n of the highest standing, men who have hitherto not been active In the politics of either of the two old parties.

Union Soldier Has Bible Os Ga* Volunteer Lost In Fierce *6l Campaign Bears Name of Sergeant C. C. Wall—Awaits Claim of Rel- atives of Owner. There is. perhaps, in Columbia or Richmond county some person by the family name of Wall kin to Sergeant C. C. Wall, Company K, Sixteenth regi ment, Georgia volunteers. C. S. A. If so. O. A. Williams, a Union trooper of Butler, Pa., can present them with Wall's Bible lost by the latter in the bloody peninsular campaign of 1862. Williams has notified the adjutant general's office that the Bible is in his possession and he will be glad to turn it over to Wall's relatives. The Bible bears the following inscription on the flyleaf: “Srgt. C. C. Wall, Co. K, Six teenth Regiment. Ga. Va., December 1, 1861. Camp Bryson, three miles from Yorktown.

ALL COMERS TENNIS TOURNEY IN SIXTH ROUND; FIVE REMAIN NEWPORT. R. 1.. Aug 22.— Straight set victories were played at the courts here today and lawn tennis leaders worked their way into the sixth round of the al!-comers national championship singles. Maurice McLaughlin. William Cloth ier. Raymond D. Little, Karl H Behr and Wallace F Johnson all survived the ordeals, while Thomas C. Bundy, who was a round behind, due to his illness and the doubles of yesterday, advanced to the fifth round, where he will meet George W. Church, of Princeton] Little disposed of George Peabody Gardner. Jr., the old Harvard athlete, by 6-4. 7-5, 6-2. At the least, a five-set match was looked for between Johnson and Alfred S. Dabney, but it failed to material ize, as the Pennsylvanian was at his old chop-stroke game, baffling Dabney completely. The score was 6-2. 6-4. 6-1. C. B. Herd, the California boy, who is the Harvard interscholastic cham pion. and J. H. Weber, of the University of Illinois, won their places In the final round of the national interscholastic championship in lively matches. APOPLECTIC STROKE FATAL TOW. O. JONES, PIONEER LIVERYMAN VV . O. Jones, formerly police commls, sinner of Atlanta and for years proprie tor of the Jones livery stable, died sud denly at his residence. 58 East Fifteenth street, at 9:30 o'clock today. Apoplexy is given as the cause. He had just dressed for the day and was almost ready for breakfast when the stroke came upon him and from It he died half an hour later. For several months be had been in ill health. He appeared to be recovering, however, and yesterday came downtown. He remained several hours, then returned home complaining of a slight headache. Mr. Jones is survived by his widow, Mrs. Fannie E. Jones; a daughter. Miss Bessie Jones; two sisters, Mrs. W. A. Gregg and Miss Emma Jones; two broth ers. Lozenro F. and O. H. Jones, and his mother.

Rockefeller has entered the lists against the fly. From his secretary, H. D. Sims, a letter came to Dr. C. E. Ford, of the health office, saying that a check for $250 would be sent imme diately. Mr. Roc teller told the col lectors that if they succeeded in raising $1,750 he w’ould fill out the fund to $2,000. The fund reached the $1,750 mark. Then John D. wrote: "Swat the fly.

Aug. 22 —Cause and effect of disease were traced back to the time of Adam and Eve by Dr. P. A Quick, of Muskegon. Mich., presi dent of the medical section of the As sociated Fraternities of America, In convention here. In an add ess this afternoon on "Micro Organism," Dr. Quick declared his belief that an Infec tion probably was the result of the re moval of Adam’s rib. from which, ac cording lo tradition. Eve, the helpmate sprung Adam was the original pa tient. the Michigan doeto asserted, si though the ph'sii'ieti and aua> »th»il<- used m the removal of his rib ate un known FULTON K ASUPSTEHS RHCB HDUPSETS Slaton, Dorsey, and Pendleton Were Expected to Win Their Respective Races. Fulton county's vote ir the state pri mary is today undergoing careful study by persons politically interested. It is a striking fact that virtually no race in the county resulted in a surprise. As the political tipsters said the county would go, so the votes were polled. In nearly every Instance. Slaton's majority of almost three to one had been freely prophesied during the final days of the campaign, and the vote Slaton. 6.405; Alexander. 2,529; Hall. 158—shows how well the situation had been studied by the leaders of his campaign. Though there were Alexander work ers about the polls throughout the day. they were unable to swing even one city ward or country district into the column of the prohibitionist candidate, in only one district did he come close. That was at Hapeville, where Alexan der received 47 votes to Slaton's 48. Hoke Smith Factions Not in Line Yesterday. It was noticed that Smith or anti-Brown faction that swung Ful ton county in both the last gubernato rial fight and in the presidential pri mary, made no effort to maintain its line in yesterday's battle. Many of them were enthusiastic workers for Slaton, while Alexander's strength came largely from the ultra-prohibitionist el ement. More than in the governor’s race, in terest centered In the purely local fights. The contests between Judge John Pendleton and Alex Stephens for judge of the superior court, Hugh Dor sey and Madison Bel! for solicitor gen eral and the legislative race were all spiritedly fought and drew out the big vote. Though interest was high in these races, no ante-election prophecies went wrong. Though Stephens' supporters struggled to the end, the talent had picked Judge Pendleton as the winner. Stephens carried but one city ward, the Fifth, where he led his opponent 342 to 243. Adamsville and Battle Hill dis tricts both went to him by small ma jorities and in Blackhall each candi date polled 46 votes. The total was. Pendleton, 5.767; Stephens. 3,115. Dorsey Wins Easy Victory. The runaway race made by Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey was gratifying to his friends and a distinct surprise to the supporters of Madison Bell, his op ponent. Mr. Bell made an aggressive campaign of a personal nature. He had employed the old method of personal appeal so rapidly fading out in the larger counties and had visited every section of the county, the stores, the shops and office buildings to press his claim. Despite this, he failed to win a single box. The vote was: Dorsey, 6.230; Bell, 2,738. There was a real thrill in the legis lative race. There were five candidates for the three positions, and until the votes were counted there were few bold enough to say who would be returned winner. Throughout the polling, though, it was known that the race had narrowed down to Robert Blackburn. R. O. Cochran. J. Y. Smith and W. M. Smith. Walter McElreath, member of the present legislature and candidate for re-election, fought hard and had loyal friends, but they saw rhat there were too many and too potent influ ences working against him to bode well for his success. His support of the Tippins bill had aroused the ire of the "near-beer” ele ment and the weight of Its support was thrown against him. Then, too, his support of the proposed new charter last fall, which was so bitterly fought by the city government, did much to account for his defeat. Despite these influences his rare was close Tito vote was: Blackburn, 5,636 J, Y Smith. 5 447. Cochran, 5.299; W M. Smith 4 76:;.

Slaton in yesterday's primary for the Democratic nomination so- governor of Georgia is assured in approximately complete returns from almost every county in .he state. He seems sure to have carried 136 counties, and will have a convention vote of 338. The counting has been a ggrava tingly slow, but it has progressed to a point where results may be definitely ascer tained. Slaton is known positively to have carried 116 counties. Alexander is credited with 4 and Hall with 6 The DeKalb county man carried Mare, Decatur. Chattahoochee and Laurens, and there seems no hope for him in any of the incompleted counties Hail won In Bibb, Baker. C awford. Dooly. Dougherty and Taylor, and has a seeming chance in no more. Every incomplejed county is running away to Slaton. Alexander will have 14 unit votes In the convention and Hall 16 The popular vote is estimated to have run over 150,000. with Slaton get ting something like 115.000 of them. Never before has a primary candi date received such a sweeping, conclu sive and definite indorsement in a state convention as that accorded John M. Slaton, of Fulton, yesterday. Results Exceed Highest Expectations. The result exceeded even Mr. Sla ton's most optimistic expectations, and went beyond bls headquarters' official claim, issued by Hardy Ulm Tuesday. Senator A. O. Racon decisively de feated H. H. Petry for re-election to the United States senate, although Perry ran a remarkable race. Perry received a strong vote in many coun ties and carried something like a dozen. He will show up most creditably in the final returns, so far as the popular vote is concerned. Senator Bacon probably won by from 4n,000 to 50,000 popular vote —the sen atorial race being the only one the stale executive committee authorized under a plurality plan. James D. Price, of appears to have won the race for commissioner of agriculture. In 99 counties reported in complete form. Price has carried 46. with 118 unit votes; Blalock has 22. w-ith 54 unit votes, and Brown has 31, with 82 unit votes. Price has pulled steadily ahead, and the incoming returns Indicate his elec tion with approximate certainty. Brittain overwhelmed Beck for state school commissioner, about doubling his opponent's vote. The railroad commissionership races were hotly contested, but the present commissioners look like safe winners, with Flynt, McLendon and McGehee running well. In the order of their winning. It stands Gray, Hillyer and Trammell. Felder Beats Jones By Vote of 2 to 1. Felder has defeated Jones for attor ney' general by a very large vote —per- haps 2 to 1. Decidedly one of the most interesting races of all was the contest between Broyles and Pottle for the succession to Pottle on the court of appeals bench. Pottle wins this fight safely, but not by the wide vote some of his friends predicted. Broyles ran well in spots, but not sufficiently well to overcome his opponent's lead In any particular sec tion. Lindsey, for pension commissioner, and Patterson, for prison commission er. were easy winners The following state house officers were re-elected without opposition Secretary of State Philip Cook. Comp, trollet General W. A. Wright. State Treasurer W. .1 Speer, Commissioner of Commerce and Labor H M Stanley, Justices S c. Atkinson, Joseph Lump kin and H Warner Hill, of the supreme court, and Judge Ben H Hill, of the state court of appeals Owing to the great length nf the ticket, complete returns wilt not be svslianle In some counties before to morrow morning, but the roun' hats prog r e--»d to the point a here th* fo'< going estlms'e* ms> be am-pied practically conclusive.
