Soldiers Everywhere. The barracks in the Mizi district, or outer part of the city, were inadequate to house the masses of soldiers on duty and bivouacs were made in some of the great parks in the Siro section, or the Imperial citadel. Among the regulars were many sol die; s who had seen active service in •Manchuria during the Russo-Japanese war and these hardy troops were ob jects of universal interest. Others had beet, dawn from Korea because of their fame or their appearance.

The chances are all against Mayor Winn succeeding in carrying out his plan tq move the stockade from the Third ward, according to the attitude of many city officials today. The board of education unanimously recommended to council that thefour city high schools be sold and a univer sity high school for boys and girls be biult on the stockade site. The adop tion of this would have necessitated an immediate removal of the stockade The opinion of the board of educa tion virtually is reversed today. In re sponse to a widespread opposition to the new school plan, especially to a girls high school in conjunction with a boys on tire stockade property, some of the member" of the board are deter minedly opposed to the plan and the others have lost their enthusiasm for it. Indications today are that council #lll I bury the recommendation of the board of education for a university co-edu cational high school in a pigeon hole of the finance committee when it meets Monday. Citizens of the Third ward 1 have been protesting that the stockade was a nui sance and should be removed from the residential section. Mayor Winn de clared that one of the principal projects of his administration would be to move the stockade. No Fund For New Stockade Seen. The pressure for money for new high schools during the next few years wili make it exceedingly hard to get an ap propriation for a new stockade. Mayor Winn’s plan was to sell part of the large stockade tract and use the funds for a new stockade building. Rut no effort has been made to take this step during the two years in which a new stockade has been an administra tion policy. Aiderman James E. Warren, chair man of the council committee on schools, said that while he at first fa vored the university schotfl plan, it was possible that he would oppose it when it came to council. Walter H. Rich de clared that he was unalterably opposed to building the schools on the stocka’de site. A. P. Morgan said that he had changed bis mind and was now opposed to it. Their reason was that the lo cation was too far from the center 1 of the city. The others declared that the princi pal reason for urging the building of the new schools on this site was that it was the only location available.

It is feared that ae the rebels ap proach the town they will be .close enough for the bullets to be dangerous on the United States side. The rebels being incensed at the t*nited States, seem to be bending every effort to make their bullets do as much damage as possible on this side. It is believed inevitably that the rain of rebel bul lets will dn considerable damage, with big probabilities of loss of life among the townspeople. A courier was dispatched late last night warning the r-bels against firing across the boundary. , Rebel Leader Insolent in Reply. It was not until this morning that an ans\ver was received. Couched in iu_- soient terms, evidently intended to sting the Americans into armed pro test. Rojas declared that If the Ameri can government chose to aid the fed eral troops they must take the conse quences. The rebels with a far superior force, moved up during the night closer to the little Mexican border town. Their main army is to the southward of Agua Prieta. the position 'having been shifted slightly so lhAt their Are is trained directly on Douglas. The garrison of Agua Prieta. having heeded the warning of the American troopers, guarding the border, shifted their two machine guns to the east edge of the village, and made preparations to defend against an attack from the cast. American troopers were sent out earlier than usual today for border pa trol. The commander here believes the rebels will attack today before Mexi can federal reserves being brought through the United States can reach here, it is believed also that the rebels in today’s fight will show unusual reck lessness in causing damage on the American side purposely striving to cause'* intervention by the United States.

In Picking Wife, Look At Her Teeth: They're Sure Character Signs • - Dental Expert Says Girls With Pink-Tinted Molars Make Best Matrons. WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.—"Sitls with pink-tinted teeth have a loving disposition and will make good wives." declared Dr. Jacob S. Wells, a dentist ,of Fargo. N. Dak., who Is here attend ing the national dentists convention. "Young men would do well if they , would have their sweethearts’ teeth j examined beffo e marrying them. Those girls who have dull, chalky teeth are not prone to love and will not. as a general rule, make good wives. "Girls of w ifely inclinations have th" pink tint just below the gums It can be readily seen if one will look closely. I The color is in the enamel and Is not, las some dentists state, an overhanging of the gums. "It would seem that the best course [ for a young man to pursue when he has doubts about the sincerity of his sweetheart is to have a dentist examine her teeth. I know one young man who did this and he found that his sweet heart had chalky teeth and she loved him for his money "These are scientific facts No on doubts that the disposition of a person can be determined by the formation of their teeth. It is as sure a means of determining a person’s disposition as is phrenology . If you see a person with square, white, clear teeth, the chances are he or she will have a st'ong char acter and will come to distinction in ' world."

LOOK OUT FOR THIS OLD MAN TODAY. DENIESONHE SLEW COUNTESS Attorney Gibson Tries to ‘Force Hand’ of Prosecution—Will Not Conduct Own Case. MIDDLETOWN. N Y. Sept. 13. Calmly yeiveiating Ids innocence of the murder of Countess Rosa’ Menechlk Szabo, Attorney Burton W. Glbsoq de clared today that he Intended to "fdree the hand" of the state and compel Dis trict Attorney Rogers to show at once what evidence he has that the lawyer killed his woman client. At the same time Gibson admitted his realization that he Is fn a serious predicament and declared that he had decided to engage another lawyer to def-.nd him. He at first planned to con duct his own case. A line of defense that had been con structed by overzealous reporters was shattered as soon as Gibson saw the morning papers. They had credited to Gibson statements that the dead wom an was not the Countess Sfcabo, whose relatives in Aust to-Hungary bad asked for an investigation into the woman's death, but that she was actually a "Mrs. Ritte ." the name under which the coun’ess had lived for some time prior to her death. Admits She Was Countess. Gibson stated that as far as he knew the dead woman was the Countess Szabo and related to the family in Eu rope. He said that as far as he knew Mrs. {fitter and the Countess Szabo wore one and the same person, but be cause of the fact that the woman had gone under the name of Ritter he had secu ed a burial permit for her body under the name of Ritter. Gibson awoke in his cell shortly after ii o'clock this morning He spent a restful night At 8 o’clock he was taken to the Hotel Brown for breakfast. He still retained the same calm, cheer ful attitude that has characterized his actions from the first. Gibson’s first act after he had dressed was to send a telegram to his wife tell ing her that he had spent a good night, urging her to be of good cheer and tell ing her to kiss their little girl for him. Insists Mother Lives. The accused lawyer still insists that the mother of the dead woman is still alive: that she is living in New York, and that at the proper time he will produce her. He said that following the death of the countess he searched New York, finally locating Petronelia Menschik, whom he claims Is the moth er of the dead countess. Austro-Hun garv authorities claim that the coun tess’ mother died more than two years ago and that the Petronelia Menschik whom Gibson claims is Hie mother Is a fraud. Gibson's indictment on a murder charge wilt hot take place until next month, as the county grand jury does not meet until October. The evidence on which the grand jury expects to in dict has not been made public, but it i» believed that testimony of Dr. Otto Schultze, coroner's physician, will be the ground for the indictment. It was Dr. Schultze’s findings that disproved the drowning theory and alleged that strangulation was employed in the kill ing of the woman PREACHER NOT A GOOD “MIXER” HAS TO RESIGN F*ATKKBON, N J .

EXTRAi 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE IRKWHIGHT BERK 10 MUKENEW LIGHTBID Rate War in Macon Nothing Less Than Cutthroat Game, He Declares. , I j j CALLS PRESENT RATES LOW AND REASONABLE Chambers Favors Accepting Submitted Offer if There Is No Sign’of Competition. / Preston Arkwright, president of the Georgia Railway and Power Company, declared today that the low bid sub mitted in Macon for street lighting was due to a “cut throat” war between two electric companies. He said he would not submit any new bid for Atlanta's street lighting. Holding up the bld of the Georgia Railway and P6wer Company for At lanta’s new contract for street lighting which has been approved by the elec tric lights committee of council, City Electrician Turner declared today that council should not accept the contract. He said that Atlanta should have as low rates as Macon, and that he would endeavor to get council to ask for z new bids at its next meeting. He said he would go to Macon to morrow and investigate conditions and rates there. Found 1912 Bids Low and Reasonable. Here is Mr. Arkwright’s statement: In March. 1912, the city of At lanta advertised -for bids for fur nishing street lights. Pursuant to this advertisement Georgia Railway and Power Company submitted a seal bid on April 3, 1912, at the fol lowing prices: 7 1-2 Ampere 480-watt arc lamps. $55 per annum. 100-watt 80-c. p. Tungsten lamps, $22 per annum. White Way posts, containing five 100-watt 80-c. p. Tungsten, lamps each, at the rate of S3O per White Way post per annum. At the request of the city coun cil, additional blds were made on June 10 and June 13 for other forms of electric lights. The question of prices for street lighting was thor oughly investigated by the city council and its committee, and in June the bids were considered by the committee on electric lights. This committee asked for some modifications in the interest of the city, which were granted by the company, and the proposition of th" company as modified on re quest of the committee was unani mously accented bv the committee. After Investigating the prices charged in various other cities of the United States, the city officials and the members of the committee generally conceded that the price! offered by this company were rea sonable and low. Cut-Throat War On In Macon. In the city of Macon there is a cut-throat late war between two ( ompanies. Each company is try ing to run the other out of the field, or to force the stronger com pany to buy but tlic weaker one. As is always the case in situations of this kind, the prices for-electric lights during the temporary period of the tight between the two com panies are made without regard to cost. The prices quoted for Macon are less than the actual operating cost of furnishing service. These prices are made for the avowed purpose of running the other company out of business. It is exactly the same practice as is ascribed to the Standard Oil I’ompany. For illus tration, when an independent com pany entered the field, the Stand ard would cut their own prices so low that the independent company couldn't meet them until the inde pendent company had been forced into bankruptcy, then the price of oil would gif up not only to what it was before, but sufficiently higher to cover the expense of the fight. So it is in Macon: the prices quot ed are only temporary, and when the fight is over they will be high er than they would have been if there had been no fight at all. Such a Course Would Be in Bad Faith. It i.s ridiculous to suggest that because of these temporary condi tions in Macon tiiai tile bid made in good faith to the city of At- . lanta by the Georgia Railway and Power Company, after advertise ment by (he city of Atlanta and after thorough investigation and at prices generally agreed to be rea sonable, should now be rejected. Sinh a course would be in bad faith, would be manifestly unfair, and could not possibly result in any lower prices to the city. In addition. It should be boine in mind ttiat the lamps in Macon are (ci: much sm (llor'than the tumps lequired in Atlanta, that the serv i< e In Macon is entirely overhead, wiiireits ii large part of the dis tributing system In Atlanta is re quir'd to be underground.
