The chief is to have an assistant In

BIACK HERO MODEL
PRISONER 22 YEARS
Colored Youth Who Saved
White Woman in Runaway
Also to Go Free.
Because lie risked his life to protect
his guard the insanely mur
derous assault of a madman, Ben
Jones, a negro life convict from Ran
i dolpli count.' , will be paroled by the
governor, ami released from the state's
custody.
Jones came to the penitentiary 22
years ago. convicted of murder on cir
cumstances that commended him suffi
ciently to the court's mercy to save
him from tiie gallows.
He has been consistently an humble
and uncomplaining prisoner. He
served in the coal mines of Dade for
years, under the old convict lease sys
tem. He Is known as a good work
man. and he never gave his keepers
any trouble. He is quiet and inoffen
sive in his manner and seemed to have
settled down unprotestingly to the
hard-working but humdrum existence
of a man without hope of liberty or
freedom in this world again.
Not long ago a negro convict named
Henry Bacon ran amuck in a Chat
ham county camp, where both he and
Jones were located, and viciously at
tacked tiie guard. Captain George Gay.
Bacon had an iron crowbar and was
plainly crazed and bent upon killing
the white man employed to oversee the
convicts at their work.
Alone. Overpowers
Bloodthirsty Maniac.
Single-handed. Convict Jones at
tacked the madman, overpowered him
and saved the life of Gary.
Gary says he owes his life to the
prompt action of the negro and that
no man could have done a braver or
more courageous thing than Jones did.
Al) of this was placed before Govern
or Brown recently, and with it was
filed a petition from the grand jury
of Chatham county, setting forth the
facts in tjio ease.
The governor promptly agreed that
Jones bad won the undisputed right to
executive clemency. So Jones will be
paroled and will soon be free.
Jones is overjoyed, of cour.se. But
he seems to feel that he only per
formed a duty. He says he would do
it all over again, and without any
thought of eventual reward.
The governor thinks there may be
worse men in the world, and at large,
than is Ben Jones, convicted of murder
22 years ago.
The governor also determined today
to pardon Willie Jones, a negro of
seventeen, sent up a few months ago
from Baker for simple larceny.
This young negro, too, has a record
for gallantry, and upon it the governor
based much of his determination to
clemency. He bravely stopped a run
away horse as it dashed through his
camp in Baker county recently, and
thereby prevented serious injury to,
and'maybe saved the life of. a white;
woman living in that vicinity.
“CONTROVERSY” OR
“MISUNDERSTANDING” i
PENALTY THE SAME
If there is any particular difference
between a controversy and a misunder
standing. it is not known to court.
When Recorder Pro Tern Preston to
day was called on to determine this
difference, he ruled that one is just as
bad as the other in tiie eyes of tiie law.
It came about when two tailors, Char
lie Brisier and J. H. Rauch, were ar
raigned because of a little mixup late
yesterday afternoon at Pryor and Ala
bama streets.
Brisier characterized it as a "mere
misunderstanding.” Rauch said it was
nothing more than a "little controver
sy.”
Judge Preston carefully weighed the'
two terms, and then fined the tailors!
$7.75 each. »

WINN REPLIES
TO WOODWARD
Mayor Says Candidate’s State
ment Gives Misleading In
formation on Finances.
Replying to James G. Woodward's an
nouncement statement as a candidate for
mayor. Mayor Courtland S. Winn gave an
interview today in which he said Mr.
Woodward’s statement gave some mis
leading Information about the city’s finan
cial condition.
Mr. Woodward said that the present
administration had pledged $600,000 of the
city’s future revenue, while the charter
specifically provides that one administra
tion can not spend any of the revenue of
any future year.
Mayor Winn said that Mr. Woodward
included In his statement $95,000 of street,
school and sewer serial bonds, which ma
ture January 1. $25,000 of Auditorium
bonds and the entire $375,000 which the
new crematory and electric power plant
is to cost.
Mayor Winn said that the mayor and
council had simply given the city’s moral
obligation for the following amounts,
which is simply a recommendation to
next year's council that the appropria
tions be made;
A $75,000 payment on a $276,000 crema
tory; $11,250 as a payment on the Eng
lish-Commercial Girls' High school lot; a
$4,000 payment on a new site for a stock
ade: SB,IOO for the regrading of Forsyth
street, and $7,500 as a payment to Carl
Witt for damages to his property caused
by the widening of Peachtree street. The
total is $105,850
The council contemplates giving its
moral obligation for $30,000 for the Ivy
street improvement and for several other
improvements, but final action has not
yet been taken, said the mayor.

FATHER ACCUSER
OF TAKING CHILD
Mrs. Rudolph Oetter Thinks
Husband Has Child Award
ed Her by Court.
Baby’s eyes are light brown, hte>
right eye being slightly defective
and closes same frequently; hair
very light, and worn Buster Brown
fashion.
Arrest either man or baby and
notify bv wire Chief of Police J.
L. Beavers. Atlanta, Ga
That’s the striking part of a notice
sent out today by the police of Atlan
ta in the search for a three-year-old
boy. Theodore Oetter, son of Mrs. Odes,
sie Oetter, who says his father, Ru
dolph Oetter, has kidnaped the child.
The youngster was awarded to the
mother after a long court fight, but
disappeared last night. Today a war
rant was sworn out for the "man or
the baby" in Justice Johnson's court
and the case also will be taken to the
superior court, contempt being charged.
The police issued a description of the
man and child.
Mrs. Oetter lives with her mother.
Mrs. Emily Smith, 9 Nesbit street, and
there has been taking care of the
youngster who was awarded to her
after a long fight in court. Oetter, the
father, has been coming to see the
youngster off and on.
He visited tile house last night, ac
cording to Mrs. Smith, and took the
boy out to a corner drug store for some
ice cream. At tiie same time he had
some summer beverages sent to the
house for Mrs. Smith and his wife. The
two women awaited his return for an
hour and then Mrs. Oetter began a
hysterical search of the streets for the
child.
She found no clew and the police have
not been able to locate the man. There
was some talk of an automobile having
figured in the so-called kidnaping.

Sleeping Outdoors Has Become
Common-—Little Hope for
Early Relief Entertained.
Atlanta ts «rnlTertng today from mote
than a week of torrid temperature; of
daye when work means forcing one's,
unwilling mind and body, when a cow.
was unbearable and a shower bath the
most delicious luxury Imaginable. It
has been a week of torture forth.
elck. of anguish for.teethlng babies and
all little folk condemned to indoors;
a week of sleepless nights with the dis
comfort broken only with the approach
of dawn. It will long be remembered
as the "great hot spell of 1912 "
Yet with all the suffering, the official
weather records with the eold. heart- '
lessness of statistics show that past hot
weather records have not been reached.
Even today, which many are ready to
pronounce "the hottest I ever knew,’’
lacked a degree of equaling yesterday's
temperature. The official thermometer
climbed to 92 at noon, dropped back to
91 when a cloud came between earth
and sun at 1:80 o'clock, and crept up
to 92 again at 2 o'clock. And there is
no relief in sight
The figures for the first two days of
September are exactly up to the high
est temperature on record for the cor
responding period, the hot weather
mark being set tn 1907, the year hard--
boiled eggs were reported ready-laid.
They were September 1, 92 degrees;
September 3, 98 degrees; the figures
being recorded Sunday and yesterday,
though not given out. both days be
ing holidays.
What Convinced / / /
Him It Was Hot, ' r
But still the thermometer failed to
reach Its own high mercury mark, try
hard as It might. For on September
18, in 1896, two weeks later than this,
the official figures were 97 degrees fn
the greatly overcrowded shade if At
lanta thought that day wag billed for
a return engagement there wouldn't bs
enough outgoing trains to carry the
crowd.
Mr Von Herrmann, Who looks after
the Georgia weather for the gervern
ment, but washes hts hands of any re
sponsibility beyond reporting and re
cording the vagaries of the olouds,
sun and winds, admitted today that ft
was hot. He didn't depend on bls in
struments, either. It was an hour's
work piloting a lawn mower over his
front yard yesterday which gave him
a well defined opinion on the subject
"There’s no rain in sight, either," re.
marked Mr. Von Herrmann, sadly, peer
ing out of his breeze-ewept windows
on the top floor of the Empire building.
'But I don't think this heated spell will
last much longer. I think It win m(XI .
erate tn the next few days."
297,500 Drinks Sold
Here In One Day.
Soda fountain proprietors checking
their sales today discovered that At
lantans spent $15,000 for eod a last
Saturday and that day broke all rec
ords for soft drink sales.
That meant 297,500 separate drinks,
according to the figures soda water men
have fixed by long experience. They
estimate that 85 per cent of sales are
from flve-cent drinks and 15 per cent
from ten and fifteen-cent beverages.
There are 350 soda stands In At
lanta, and the managers of the sev
eral soda concerns which operate va
rious stands agree on an estimate of
S4O average sales from each stand, big
and little. Os course, some of the up
town stands run far above this, up to
SIOO, while little suburban and corner
grocery founts will be far below. But
they fix S4O as Saturday’s average.
One concern which operates five
stands found its business had jumped
nearly a thind on Saturday. Sunday
was a small day. for there were few
people on the streets and most stand"
were closed. Labor day was consid
erably below Saturday in its sales.
The last ten days has done more to vd
ucate Atlanta toward outdoor sleepim
than all the magazine articles In thi
past five years. r
