FIJI NOT GUILTY
OF SINGING ACT
Actor Turns Court to Comedy
When Up for Permitting
Children on Stage.
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—Eddie Foy,
the comedian, was at tbe*bar tn the
Jefferson Market court yesterday on
complaint of the Children’s society on
a charge of permitting his children, un
der the age of sixteen years, to sing
with him on the stage. He reached
the court accompanied by his son, Bry.
n. sixteen.
■Gee, I had to get up before dawn,
and 1 didn’t have time to milk the cows
before leaving New Rochelle. Isn’t
there a green room or other lounging
place here where I can rest until my
ise is called?” said the comedian.
Thomas B. Watson, agent of the
Children’s society,'testified that he Gad
witnessed the act provided by Mr. Foy
ami his seven children —"Eddie Foy
and the Seven Little Foys.” He said
e children ranged in this progression:
Six. nine, ten. twelve, thirteen, four
teen and sixteen years.
"Sort of Singing.”
"Somewhat of a ladder?” interposed
Moses A. Sacks, counsel for Mr. Foy.
Quite so." answered Mr. Watson.
Then he testified that Mr. Foy sang
some songs and the children joined in
the chorus. Little Madeline Foy sang
a song called "Sweet Marguerite” all
by herself. He said she appeared to be
about ten years old.
Mr. Sacks began his cross-examina
tion of Agent Watson by asking him
this question:
"Did you say that Mr. Foy sang?”
Yes; he sang,” answered Watson,
ami the crowd in the court room tit
tered.
Do you call his vocal efforts sing
ing?” persisted Mr. Sacks.
■t'. ell. it was a sort of singing."
"Was it singing, I ask?” insisted the
lawj er.
It was an attempt at singing.” an
s vei cd Watson.
"Do you mean to say the children of
M:. Foy also sang?”
The children's efforts were better
than the father’s.” answered Watson,
and his answer was greeted with
laughter that shook the court room.
He "Talks” a Song.
H're Magistrate Breen broke in, and
his remarks brought forth a storm of
laughter. He said, in deep, judicial
tones:
Mr. Foy is not charged with sing
ing."
Mr. Sacks suggested that the court
hear Mr. Foy sing and then decide for
himself if it is singing, and if, by
heredity, the children could sing
"The children don’t sing at all." cried
out Eddie Foy at the top of his voice.
i talk, a song, and so do the chil
dren."
"I think that might be more satis
factory than if you tried to sing,” com
mented Magi-trate Breen.
The case oas adjourned until Wed
m sday.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
Colonel Charles R. Pendleton, editor of
The Macon Telegraph, is one of Geor
gia's grand old men.
He is the nestor of Georgia journalism,
uid he !s possessed of the entire respect
of his colleagues of the press Whether
they agree with him always is another
question, and not particularly material,
anyway.
Thare la no m<n in Georgia more easy
to understand than Colonel Pendleton.
His methods are direct and to the point.
His character speaks in every gesture
and his sincerity is made manifest in ev
ery attribute of his daily life.
During the progress of the state con
vention in Macon Colonel Pendleton’s
sanctum was the Mecca of all sorts and
conditions of politicians and statesmen,
near and far, and to keep track of them
all, give them the glad hand and a “wel
come to our fair city,’’ was something of a
tax both upon physical and mental equip
ment.
Nevertheless, those people were Macon’s
guests, and, therefore, the obligation not
to quit the ship, no matter how heavy the
bombardment of “Howdy, Colonel! was
pressing and insistent.
Colonel Pendleton stood for the invading
army in most chivalric and hospitable
style.
Colonel Pendleton's work room in The
Telegraph building is eloquent of Pen
dleton, and tells what manner of man he
is. and without Pendleton saying a word.
Upon one side of him hangs a life-size
oil portrait of “Stonewall” Jackson, on
the other side a similar portrait of Rob
ert E. Lee. Needless to add, both Con
federate chieftains are pictured in full
dress uniform. Over in a corner is a
group photograph of Grover Cleveland and
his last cabinet—Hoke Smith and all.
The gray-haired old veteran of the press
furnishes the engaging exhibit back
grounded by the other things.
And there, without words, is all that is
necessary to tell what manner of man Pe
ndleton is.
Colonel Pendleton is, in many ways, a
gentleman of the old school —whatever
that is. He loves every tradition of the
South, but he is quite well aware that the
war is over, and he long ago accepted the
verdict of the 60’s, but without in any
way surrendering a single conviction of
right.
The editor of The Macon Telegraph
sometimes has been called a “bourbon.”
He is not —he is half a "bourbon” only.
A “bourbon” is one who "learns noth
ing, forgets nothing." Colonel Pendleton
learns much —every day. But he is half
“bourbon’’ in that he forgets nothing.
in character and trend of thought, he is
every inch a man—and every inch a news
paperman.
The Savannah News in a recent issue
comments thusly:
The Atlanta Georgian quotes a north
west Georgia politician as expressing
the opinion that there are gloomy
times ahead for his section, political
ly. unless something is done to stop
the creation of new counties in south

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER I. 1912
By JAMES B . NEVIN.
Georgia. He thiuks that through this
means the southern part of the state
wHI soon have north Georgia "eating
out of her hand.” The time Is ripe
for a change, because the northern
part of the state has controlled
’he state's politics and furnished
nearly all of the officers since At
lanta was made the capital. But
south Georgia will not come Into her
own by means of new counties but
because of preponderance of popula
tion, wealth and resources. The new
counties are only an incident. They
were made necessary by the growth
of this section. It will not be many
years before the great majority of the
population will be in the southern
part of the state, and then will come
its political as weH as industrial su
premacy. But south Georgia is too
busy expanding and developing to
worry about the offices for a while at
least, and is letting the northern part
of the state have most of them If
this section presents men for state of
fices it will be because of merit and
not from sectional feeling.
I he "result in Vermont,” which was to
tell so much, in reality tells very little.
The ancient Republican majority has
vanished—but by a curious sort of politi
cal legerdermain, It seefns to have van
ished into nowhere, rather than Into
somewhere.
The Democrats didn't get it. Their vote
is about the same old vote that Vermont
ever gives, forlornly enough, to Demo
cratic endeavor.
Years ago, Henry Grady eulogised the
noble 20.000 that stood always If hope
lessly on the Democratic burning deck in
Vermont. They are still standing there.
This much alone seems certain with
respect to Vermont. What the regular
Republican ticket lost, the bull moose out
fit gained.
That's what makes it difficult to say
whither politically the ancient Republican
majority in Vermont went. In the mat
ter of legislative elections, the old time
Republican order of things was more
fortunate in retaining what never yet has
escaped it.
M hat shall it profit the bull moose party
in Vermont that it defeated the regulars
in a state election, on the surface of
things, and yet permitted the election of
a legislature that will insure a regular
Republican governor regardless?
Vermont bull mooses may have gained
what they straightway would lose again.
A man with plenty of white paper and
a ready pen will be able to make the Ver
mont returns prove any old thing he
wishes to prove.
