Missing Man's Employees on
Court House Refuse to Work
Overtime—Locked Out.
The receivers of Moise DeLeon’s busi
ness Ronald Ransom and H. L. Fra
z.i'T today were given authority by su.
pcrior court to employ auditors to check
up the accounts of the missing con-
• trai'tor. Judge George Bell signed the
petition of the receivers, when they as
s' rted to him that they considered it
expedient to examine and cheek up all
of Mr. DeLeon’s business affairs.
Mmost at the same hour. R. M. Cal
laway. 302 Ponce DeLeon avenue, peti
tioned the court of ordinary to appoint
a successor to Mr. DeLeon as adminis
trator of the estate of Mrs. Henrietta
D. Seixas. Mrs. Seixas died several
mouths ago. leaving an estate valued
al more than $15,000, and Mr. DeLeon
was appointed executor. Mr. Callaway
.-ci l-;s a new administrator ■p , the
grounds that M,r. DeLeon has failed to
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
today.
Refuse to Work Overtime.
Xu word had been received of th ■
• vanished contractor, but his troubles
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. Mav says he wanted a
certain amount of work completed by
t Saturday and asked the men to work
overtime. They refused, declaring it
was against union rales. Thereupon
they wire locked out by May, who said
he would not have men in his emplo.x
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 held up. It was
worry over the court house contract
which is said to have led to DeLeon’s
mental collapse and disappearance.

DANGER ft NURSE
Countess, Disabled as She
Plans To Tour 11. S., Enters
Hospital Service.
VIENNA, Aug. 28.—Local court cir
cles 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
DeKoretich, a lieutenant in the King's
Dragoons. Three years ago her hus
band died. She returned to the stage.
It was while she wgs 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 the 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.

MARIETTA. GA., Aug. 28.—Gray 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
I maids to the reunion. Bands are play
ing at every corner of the square; mo
l 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
erans 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
t bars.
Business In the little city has been
practically suspended in order that all
may make their visitors feel at homA
, 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.
1 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
, ducing one of the women who welcomed
the veteran.-, 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
i 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 win
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 he said Is the greatest part of
■ the constitution of Georgia—the guar-
> antee that person and property shall be
• completely and impartially protected.
i "The principles tor which you fought
1 then," he declared, "are recognized to-
> day from Maine to California, and this
' Union which we all love is greater and
I grander for your struggles to maintain
i this principle.”
Mrs. S. D. Rambo, president of the
Marietta Daughters of the Confederacy,
• welcomed the veterans on behalf of the
r 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
I first Georgia regiment of Confederate
soldiers that went to the front, spoke
i next In welcome to the soldiers, their
1 sons and daughters.
Captain W. H. (Tip) Harrison re ■
i sponded to the welcome on behalf of
■ the visiting veterans. Father Ryan’s
. requiem of the lost cause, the "Con
-1 quered Banner,” was sung by Mrs. Leila
i Grist Henderson. Hardly an old sol
. dier was present but forgot his wild en
i thusiasm of a moment before, when the
■ band was playing "Dixie.” and bowed
his head in honor of the old flag.
A tattered banner of the Forty-second
, Georgia hung from the platform during
, the song.
; At noon the veterans were taken to
dinner in the Anderson building.
All who registered were carried from
I the hall t<»the eating place.
i The- event ut’ the afternoon was the
I
trip to Kennesaw mountain, where
many of them fought under Johnston ,
Social features will predominate to- ■
night, and a reception will be given ■
this afternoon in honor of 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 t
tribute to the Union dead who lie in the t
national cemetery which crowns the
hill; but veterans of the Grand Army }
an few; the men of the Gray are here >
by thousands. The county seat of Cobb '
is sorely taxed to care for them. I
Incoming Trams Loaded. 1
They began arriving late yesterday
afternoon and today's trains brought I
them by the hundreds. Every trolley ■
ear from Atlanta was packed with vet- <
erans and their friends. The road from t
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
the 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 bj z :
the girls of the Martha Berry tavern. >
This afternoon a business meeting of 1
the Georgia division, U. C. V. will be i
held, and an- automobile tour of the I
battlefield of Kennesaw mountain will
be given tile visitors. Hundreds of cars
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
holding their convention in connection
t with the reunion. Their first meeting
opens at 5 o'clock; another will be held
tonight, and the final session tomorrow
morning Officers for Hie coming year
will be elected.
The veterans' parade, the principal
feature of the reunion, will take tilace
tomorrow afternoon, and it is expected
that this will bring thousands of visi
tors from Atlanta and other near-by
points.
Marietta wac in full readiness for the
big celebration when the veterans as
sembled. Three brass bands bring back
harmonious memories of battle days.
"Tlie Boys of the Sixties”—the title
tells the plot—will b<’ presented at the
cou t house and the auditorium to big
crowds.
Miss Etta Hardeman, sponsor of the reunion, who has been
a prominent figure in past gatherings of the veterans.
