I am not engaged In defending Mr. Roosevelt personally, and 1 shall later print letters which will not particularly please Mr. Roosevelt, but I am engaged in giving the American people the ex act facts In regard to the political cor ruption with which they are oppressed. If Senator Penrose stated that the $25,000 sent him by Mr. Archbold was for Mr. Roosevelt and not for himself, he stated what was not true.

"The oil trust would own the white house if it could," said Colonel Roose velt. "It already owns Senator Pen rose and other statesmen of his type. It owns Democrats as well as Republi cans. It wants to own all the people, and will come pretty near making it uncomfortable for everybody if a stop isn't put to its crooked manipulation.” In reply to tremendous cheering of his statement, "they are afraid of me because they know 1 can't be bought." the colonel grinned amiably, and ex claimed.

ME. Aug 30.—Russian nihilists are believed to have murdered Goodman Gikner, the Haverhill, Mass., man who was found dead In the freight yards here Tuesday with his body piereed with 30 stab wounds. The po liee declared today that they had se cured a clew which led to the theory that Gikner was suspected of being in the employ of the Russian secret serv ice. Gikner came to America from Russia five years ago, after his brother had been killed by nihilists in St. Peters burg. Gikner often complained to his intimate friends, the police say, that he was being followed. The murdered man formerly was a member of a revolutionary society in Russia. In some manner he aroused the suspicions of Ills fellows. His broth er. who was also a member, was found stabbed to death in his bed one morn ing. with a note of warning scrawled tn blood pinned to the bed clothing. Although Gikner often spoke to his Intimate friends of his fears of assassi nation, he Would never seek police pro tection. He declared that this would precipitate his death. A peculiar feature of the tragedy was the similarity of the death of Gikner to that of his brother. In his pocket a note, written either In red ink or blood, was found, reading: "Others ben air Thus do wee doe to those who betray us.” KAISER NAMES WHEELER FOR NOBEL PEACE PRIZE BERLIN.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1912. William Still 111. But Germans Refuse to Believe Him Out of Danger. HEREIN, Aug. 30.—While the kaiser is slowly recovering from the illness which alarmed all Germany, the news comes from the imperial palace of the friendship and sympathy of the royal family for Mrs. Robert Goelet, who is said to be dying in Paris It is remem bered that one of William's last acts before falling ill was his presentation of the first-class Order of Merit to the captain of Mrs. Goelet’s yacht, the Na homa, on which he was an honored and Intimate guest during the great regat ta at Kiel. Expressions of sympathy for Mrs. Goelet have been made by <u \ - oral members of the kaiser's family. The Berlinese refuse to believe that the emperor is out of danger. It is stated, for instance, that he was allowed to leave his bed for the purpose of at tending to urgent state affairs. It is also announced that the kaiser's tender throat has so much bettered that he is able to swallow food and to talk, from which it would appear that the conditions must have been even worse than were at first acknowledged. The rheumatic pains In the neck are also reported to have abated and the . fever has dropped, but even with these improvements the emperor will not be permitted to leave Cassel fora few days nt least. So that, all In all, the Germanic fears, which are always lively whenever any thing is the matter with the Hohenzol , lern throat, and which always revert to , the fatal malady of hie father, have some ground for existence. 4 KILLED. 7 HURT AS TRAIN HITS WRECKER 1 CONWAY.

It took five police officers, a Justice roused from his bed to draw a warrant, an improvised battering ram and sev eral revolvers to transfer three alleged gamblers from their room to the po lice station early today—but they land ed behind the bars to think it over. The police had a lively time before the Job was finished. It was about 2 o'clock when Plain Clothes Officers Newport and Wiley saw a light In a room at 220 1-2 Marietta street, where no light ought to be at that hour. They climbed to the roof of an adjoining building and took a peep through the window. There, in the glare of the gas light, sat Charley Williams, of 219 Kennedy street, deal ing cards to two companions. Threat to Kill First Who Enters. The officers climbed from their roof, went to the door and demanded admis sion. They didn't get it. "Beat it,” said a voice from inside. The police called for reinforcements. Assistant Chief Jett. Captain Mayo and Sergeant Dobbs responded in a motor car. But even the authority of the as sistant chief didn’t bring results. "The first man through that door will be killed,” said Williams, from beyond the oak. “Come on and try it.” Then the officers tried a new tack. They sent to the home of Justice Puck ett, woke him up, persuaded him to go to his office and secure a warrant charging Williams with gaming. When this document arrived Chief Jett read it aloud through the door. The game sters listened courteously. Only Bluffing, They Explain. “That cut’s no ice,” retorted one of the men when the reading was fin ished "You guys beat it or there'll be trouble.” "We’ll break the door down,” an swered Jett. “The first one in will get killed," re torted the besieged, according to the police. A carpenter's sawhorse was standing in the corridor, and Jett and Mayo picked it up, gave it a swing and sent it crashing through the oak. The lock gave way and the door swung open. The officers rushed in with drawn re volvers. to find a very meek and sheep ish trio ready to surrender. "Why didn’t you shoot?” asked Cap tain Mayo. "Aw. we were only bluffing," ex plained Williams. At the police station the three were locked up in default of bond. The oth er two gave their names ae A. H. Wil lis, aged 23, of 71 Lovejoy street, and L. Weinberger, aged 25, of 178 Orme street.

HUNTS BLIND MAN INHD HAS 561,D00 FDD DIB GHILD Alabaman Searches Atlanta for Rich Unfortunate Won by Little Girl’s Kindness. Hunting a blind man and $60,000 which he thinks* is coming to him, F. G. Nichols, of Lineville, Ala., Is in At lanta today on an exciting chase, in which he wants the police to aid. Frank Fields, the blind man. is carrying about a certified cheek for $60,000 which Nichols lias heard he wants to give him because of the fondness exhibited for the blind man by Nichols’ two year-old golden-haired girl, Frances. The blind man is supposed to have come to Atlanta from Birmingham, and the Alabama man is hot on his trail. Fields registered at the Jefferson ho tel, Birmingham, from Atlanta. His name, however, doesn’t appear in the city directory, and no one has been found who knows him. Nichols, who is stopping at the Sco ville hotel, today appeared at the police station and appealed to Chief Beavers to aid. him in his search. He furnished the chief a minute description of the rich blind man and this will be read to the entire police force. Has No One to Make His Heir, Fields is about 65 years of age and alone tn the world, with no relative on whom to bestow his wealth. The race for the $60,000 fortune started yesterday in Birmingham, when Nichols was notified at the Jefferson hotel that Fields was searching for him with a certified check for this sum. The blind man had just left the hotel a short time before, and was said to be on his way to Atlanta. Nichols imme diately took the trail Atlantaward. The aged blind man's generous feel ing dates back to last November, when he visited the little town of Lineville and stopped for several days at the Lineville hotel, which was operated by’ Nichols. The affliction of the aged man and his apparent helplessness touched the hearts of the Nichols fam ily, consisting of the hotel man, his wife and little girl, and every possible attention and kindness was -shown him. The little golden-haired girl was par ticularly fond of the old man, and romped and played with him almost constantly. She grew to love him, ..nd, in her childish way. never let an op portunity pass to amuse and make him happy. And then when the blind man left the hotel Nichols crowned his hospitable treatment of the blind man by refusing to accept pay for his board, thinking at that time that he was but a poor old man, with no money and no friends. The blind man, however, declined to accept the hotel man's generosity and forced him to take pay. To people in the little town the blind man commented on the kindness of Nichols and of his own fondness for the little girl, remarking that Nichols was one of the finest and best men with whom he had ever come in contact The old man left the little town and the incident passed. Nichols thought no more of it and heard no more of his blind friend until he was informed in Birmingham of the $60,000 check and of the search for him by the blind man So far no trace of Fields has been found by the police. Is Book Agent Who Buys Supplies Here. According to Nichols, the blind man was agent for a blue back speller when In Lineville. Nichols learned to day that Fields bought his supply of books from the American Book Com pany in Whitehall street, and verified this from the manager. He was in formed that Fields put in his last order for books on June 30, but had never taken the books out. From this It is supposed he has retired to enjov his wealth. yi i I O EWELL’S ■ SPECIALS I ‘'Everything Retailed at Wholesale Prices,” I SOLID CARLOAD of Lemons, 95c per 100, f i or each IC SOLID CARLOAD Fancy j Irish Potatoes. 97 1 O | per peck Z. «J SOLID CARLOAD Fancy j Sweet Potatoes, O Q 1 O per peck ....
