Missing Man's Employees on
Court House Refuse to Work
Overtime—Locked Out.
The receivers of Moise DeLeon's busi
“ iv ss -Ronald Ranson' and H. L. Fra
zier—today were giv< n authority by su
perior court to employ auditors toeheck
, up the accounts of the missing con
tractor. Judge George Bell signed the
petition of the receivers, when they as
serted to him that they considered it
expedient to examine and cheek up all
of Mr. DeLeon's business affairs.
Almost at the same hour. R. M. Cal
lin.:y. 302 Ponce DeLeon avenue, peti
tioned the court of ordinary to appoint
a sineessor to Mr. DeLeon as adminis
trator of the estate of Mrs. Henrietta
D. Seixas. Mrs. Seixas died several
months ago. leaving an estate valued
at more than .$15,000. and Mr. DeLeon
was appointed executor. Mr. Callaway
seeks a new administrator on the
grounds that Mr. DeLeon has failed ’□
give the estate his attention since his
mysterious disappearance.
True to the troublous traditions of
the Fulton county court house; a lock
out of carpenters in the employ of
.Moise DeLeon was in progress there

Refuse to Work Overtime.
v No word had been received of th •
vanished contractor, but his troubles
1 continued to multiply.
Some twenty-five carpenters were not
working today because of a dispute over
Superintendent H J. D. May’s orders
for overwork. May says he wanted a
'* . ertain amount of work completed by
Saturday and asked the men to work
overtime. They refused, declaring it
was against union rules. Thereupon
thei were locked out by May. who said
be would not have men in his employ
who did not obey his orders.
The superintendent said today he
would have a new crew in short order,
but in the meantime further work on
the building is being helji up. It was
worry over the court house contract
which is said to have led to DeLeon's
mental collapse anil disappearance

NOBLE BAREFOOT
DANCER A NURSE
Countess, Disabled as She
Plans To Tour U. S.. Enters
Hospital Service.
VIENNA, Aug 28. —Local court cir-
■ des have been startled by the news
that Countess • DeKoretich. the young
widow of Count Charles Felix De-
Koretich, of Austria, is a nurse In the
Jewish Home for the Aged, conducted
by the Daughters of Jacob, at No. 301
East Broadway. New York Countess
DeKoretich became known throughout
Europe as a toe dancer when only sev
enteen years old At the height of her
. career she became the wife ,of Count
DeKoietich, a lieutenant in the King's
Dragoons. Three years ago her hus
band died. She returned to the stage.
It was while she was giving an ex
hibition of barefoot toe dancing in the
Ring Garden of Vienna, that she at
tracted the attention of Shubert. A
few days before an American tour was
to begin tiie countess sprained her
ankle in a street car accident. As the
weeks passed it became evident that
she would probably never be able to
resume her career as a dancer.
She bore up under this blow and
pluckily decided to study medicine. Her
father was Dr. Julius Ifkovitch, a sur
geon of Vienna.
Dr. David Robbins, her physician,
advised the countess to first become a
trained nurse. Handicapped by her
slight knowledge of English, she de
termined to study that language as a
preliminary to taking up medicine.

Miss Regina Rambo, who helped prepare the reunion, and one of the veterans.
“Boys of the Lost Cause” Hold Big Parade Tomorrow.
Governor Brown Welcomes Visitors to His Home Town.
MARIETTA, GA., Aug. 28.—Graj is
the dominant note in Marietta today.
The gray beards of bent, slow-moving
veterans, brushing uniforms of the col
or of the Confederacy. But the dull
motif of the throng is broken by the
gay red and white of battle flags, by
the rainbow of color in the summer
dress of Southern girls, sponsors and
maids to the reunion. Bands are play
ing at every corner of the square; mo
tors filled with infirm men and laughing
girls are dashing about the town. The
reunion of Georgia veterans is under
way.
1,000 Vets Attend.
More strangers gathered today in Ma
rietta than have been here since the
days when General Joe Johnston.'s army
fought with the invading men of the
North. The fourteenth annual reunion
of Georgia division of Confederate vet
erons has brought here more than a
thousand gray-haired men who fought
in the army of the South, according to
the number of badges given out by
Miss Regina Rambo, who first invited
the veterans a year ago at Rome to
make Marietta their next place of re
union.
Banners of the Confederacy are
spread over the buildings and hang
from the doorways of homes in Mariet
ta. Draped with them, but not in pre
dominance, are the stars and stripes,
mingling In peace with the stars and
bars.
Business in the little city has been
practically suspended in order that all
may make their visitors feel at home.
Almost as many veterans gathered in
the public square, where stands the
monument to the late Senator A. S.
Clay, as were crowded in the court
house for the formal exercises. There
was an overflow meeting on the square.
With the veterans have come hundreds
of women and girls, and numbers of the
Sons of Veterans organization.
Women Take Big Part.
No Confederate reunion would be
complete without the women of the
South. This was the keynote of the
day. and when this was spoken by
Judge John Maddox, of Rome, in intro,
during one of the women who welcomed
the veterans, there was applause from
hundreds of husky throats. Mayor J. J.
Black formally gave Marietta to the
veterans in a speech, in which he said:
"I came to turn the keys of Marietta
over to you, but I can't do it; they are
no keys to give you
"They are all gone, and the doors of
Marietta's homes are wide open. Make
yourselves at home, and try to under
stand the honor we citizens feel in hav
ing you with us.”
Brown Lauds Vets.
Governor Joseph M. Brown was then
introduced as the son of Georgia's wai
governor, Joseph E. Brown. His ap
pearance was the signal for the thrilling
"rebel yell.”
Governor Brown paid a fitting trib
ute to the men who fought to maintain
what lie said is the greatest part of
the constitution of Georgia—the guar
antee that person and property shall be
completely and impartially protected.
"The principles for which you fought
then,” he declared, "are recognized to
day from Maine to California, and this
Union which we all love is greater and
grander for your struggles to maintain
this principle."
Mrs. S. D. Rambo, president of the
Marietta Daughters of the Confederacy,
welcomed the veterans on behalf of th'
Marietta women.
Mrs. Robert Nesbit, who 51 years ago
stood on the court house steps at Madi
son. Ga.. and presented the flag to the
first Georgia regiment of Confederate
soldiers that went to the front, spoke
next in welcome to the soldiers, their
sons and daughters.
Captain \\. H. (Tip) Harrison re
sponded to th" welcome on behalf of
the visiting veterans. Father ' Ryan s
requiem of the lo t cause, the "Con
quered Banner," was sung by Mrs. Leila
Grist Henderson. Hardly an old sol
dier was present but forgot bis wild en
thusiasm of a moment before, w hen the
band was playing "Dixie,” and bowed
his head in honor of the old flag.
A tattered banner of the Forty-seconq
Georgia hung from the platform during
the song.
At noon tile veterans were taken to
dinner in the Andelson building.
All who registered were < arri- d from
th" hall to the eating place.
Th', event of the afternoon was the
trip to Kennesaw mountain, where
many of them fought under Johnston.
Social features will predominate to
night. and a reception will be given
tills afternoon in honor of x the visiting
daughters at the home of Mrs. Rambo.
Never was Marietta visited by such a
throng. The town is accustomed to a ,
gathering once a year of veterans of ;
the G. A. R., who come to pay their
tribute to the Union dead who lie in the
national cemetery which crowns the
hill; but veterans of the Grand Army ;
are few; the men of the Gray are hen i
by thousands. The county seat of Cobb
Is sorely taxed to care for them.
Incoming Trams Loaded.
They began arriving late yesterday
afternoon, and today's trains brought
them by the hundreds. Every trolley :
ear from Atlanta was packed with vet- 1
erans- and their friends. The road from •
the city was one cloud of dust from the
procession of automobiles. Marietta is
host to all the state today.
A great barbecue is billed to follow
th" opening celebration, with a lunch
eon for the women at the home of Mrs
John M. Graham, given by the Fielding
Lewis chapter, D. A. R.. and served by
tiie girls of the Martha Berry tavern.
This afternoon a business meeting of
the Georgia division, U. C. V.. will be
held, and an automobile tour of thi
battlefield of Kennesaw mountain will
be given the visitors. Hundreds of ears
have been secured for the tour.
Tonight will be marked by an enter
tainment at the court house and an
other at the auditorium An open-air
concert will be given in the city park
by the Gem City band, with an address
by George M. Napier, of Atlanta. "Taps"
will sound at 10 o'clock, and the city
will sleep until aroused by "reveille"
at dawn tomorrow.
The Georgia Sons of Veterans- are j
holding their convention in connection
with the reunion. Their first meeting
opens at 5 o'clock; another will be held
tonigh,t. and the final session tomorrow
morning. Officers for the coming year
will he elected.
The veterans' parade the principal
feature of the reunion, w ill take nlace
tomorrow afternoon, and it is expected
that this will bring thousands of visi
tors from Atlanta and other near-by
points.
Marietta was In full readiness for the
big celebration when the veterans as

harmonious memories of battle days.
"The Boys of the Sixties”—the title
tells the plot—will be presented at the

Universal Language.
BERNE. SWITZERLAND, Aug. 28.
Today a train marked "Esperanto” ar
rived in Berne, conveying Esperantists
of all nations on their way to the Es
peranto congress to be held at Cracow.
The conductors on the train also spoke
Esperanto, and the few passengers who
were not Esperantists felt distinctly
“out of it."
The Esperantists were in excellent
spirits. One of their leaders remarked
that before long there wouM be not
only trains labelled "Esperanto.” but
the postoffices of the world would have
to add Esperanto to the number of
towns in the postal guide.
Already Esperantists have purchased
a piece of land near Munich, where a
garden city is to be built, to be called
"Esperanto.” Esperanto is primarily
intended as a summer holiday resort
for Esperantists of any nationality.
The town will have a theater, where
plays will be performed in Esperanto,
and there will be a postoffice which will
conduct Its business In Esperanto, and
also an Esperanto bank.
