DINNERFORftIOS GF OGLETHORPE Men Resurrecting Old College Will Name Date Tomorrow for Corner Stone Laying. One hundred men who gave SI,OOO each to the new Oglethorpe university fund will be among the guests at a din ner at the Piedmont tomorrow night when steps will be taken toward the organization of the board of directors, ejection of officers and arrangements for a charter. The dinner will be a notable gathering of Georgians con nected with the ancient university and the new, and the guests will include many of the most prominent men In the state. The date for laying the corner stone of the new institution will be fixed this meeting, and the ceremony will be perhaps the most peculiar in history. Not only is the new university an iso lated instance of the resurrection of an ancient college, but the combination of circumstances surrounding it is most unusual. All the alumni of old Oglethorpe within reach will attend the dinner, and these include the governor of the state and an ex-moderator of the Southern Presbyterian assembly. One of the sen ators from Georgia, Hoke Smith, is a member of the board of incorporators of the new university, while the other, ... O. Racon, is a direct descendent of the founders of old Midway church, which founded the old Oglethorpe. And the ceremony of laving the corner stone will take place during the great Pres byterian convention next May, when, for the first time in history, all four great assemblies of the denomination will meet at the same time and in the same city. The four moderators of the four bodies of this Pan-Presbyterian gathering will have a prominent part in lhe ceremonies. Next President “Oglethorpe Child.” It is pointed out that the next presi dent of the United States, who will be in office then, will almost certainly be s “child of Oglethorpe." Woodrow Wilson is a nephew of Dr. James Wood row, for years a professor in old Ogle thorpe, and Theodore Roosevelt is a descendant of many Georgians who sleep beneath the sod of old Midway church yard. It is the desire of the new hoard to have the new chief exec utive take part in the corner stone cer emony. SECRETARY KNOX IS RECEIVED IN FINAL CALL UPON MIKADO TOKIO, Sept. 16.—Philander C.

That the preventive work of the children’s division of superior court could be made more effective if the | board of education, provided teachers I for the waywards housed at the Cen tral avenue detention home was the assertion made today by W. W.

As a result we often miss the most important features of the case. “If a school were established the children could be studied and the exact i trouble determined. This court could I accomplish much more than it does.” In a report to the board of education I recently- Superintendent of Schools W. ;M. Slaton recommended a school for I incorrigibles to be operated by the city ‘ system. As a result of peculiar legislation tht i children court is a sort of hybrid as- Ifair. As an adjunct to the superior ■ court it is a state tribunal, with the • county paying he expenses jf its offi cials. By an arrangement between the l city and the county the city details two I police officers for service at the deten j tion home.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 16. 1912 Remarkable Feat Is Accom plished While Dashing Thro’ Air at Chicago. Taking pictures of Vedrines, winner of the International Aviation Trophy, as he sped around the course at more than 100 miles an hour, was the re markable feat accomplished by a Chi cago photographer while seated in a Wright biplane traveling above the Vedrines monoplane at 42 miles an hou r. Vedrines, who won bis laurels two years ago. when he was the first to cover the course in the Paris-Madri': race, used a Provost machine, develop ing 140 horsepower, and at times at taining the unprecedented speed of 120 miles an hour. As his machine circled the triangular-shaped course at Clear ing. near Chicago, it appeared as a white streak, spouting flame and leav ing a trail of smoke in its wake. The photographer, seated beside Max Billie in a Wright machine, soared above the field, keeping well out of the path of Vedrines as the intrepid Frenchman’s monoplane shot arouno the course. At no time did the Wright machine exceed a speed of 50 miles an hour and this rate seemed a snail’s pace when Vedrines shot by. Once, when directly above Vedrines, (he photographer snapped his camera and again when the Provost machine, tilted at an angle of 45 degrees, cut through the air at the stake post. The gasoline smoke was issuing from the panting engine of the. Prevost machine in such volume that the camera had no difficulty in photographing it. Vedrines' Remarkable Time. Vedrines’ official time for covering the 23 laps of the course of 124.8 miles was one hour ten minutes and 56.85 seconds. Prevost and Frey, the only competitors to complete the course, fin ished in one hour, fifteen minutes and 25.75 seconds, and one hour. twelve minutes and 13.70 seconds, respectively. Lillie, from whose machine the camera man obtained his pictures, was the only American aviator to complete. He made six laps of the course in 28 min utes and 41 seconds. The first to attempt the course was Vedrines. There was no formality about his start. He had ascended, and was half around the course, before the huge crowd of spectators was actually aware that the race was on. Before be had completed the first lap his machine was traveling at its maximum rate of speed. He flew so low that he was scarcely above the line of steel pylons marking the course, and at times he went so close to the structures in passing them that the wings of his machifie seemed to brush the frame-work. Other Frenchmen in Air, Too. It was evident that he did not intend to cover a greater distance than was absolutely necessary. Prevost and Frey quickly shot into the air with their machines, and followed in the close-clipped path set down by Ve drines. Though driving a machine of 40 less horsepower than that of Vedrines, Pre vost drove a pretty race. Several times it seemed that he would win out over his competitor. Frey soon dropped be hind, and after the first few laps was not a serious contender. On the twelfth lap, with the race half finished, Prevost was but ten seconds behind Vedrines and appeared to be gaining at every lap. It was a nerve racking moment for the thousands of spectators, and no more thrilling sight was ever witnessed. By the fifteenth lay Vedrines had gained a lead of 32 seconds over Pre vost. During the remainder of the race he increased this gap until the last lap was completed, when the judges an nounced that he had beaten his fellow countryman by more than five minutes BOSS FLOGS AN EMPLOYEE HE BELIEVES TO BE THIEF EUGENE. <>REG, Sept. 16.

GOODS COST LESS ABROAD THAN AT HOME NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—New York has found a new center of interest in the tariff exhibit which was formally dedicated by Governor Wilson. Meetings are held practically every hour from early morning until 10 o'clock at night, and there are thousands of people who are inspecting the educa tional exhibits and paying extra close attention to the corps of speakers. The public is shown how much cheaper household goods would be if protection were cut off. and the trusts are shown as the chief beneficiaries of the present tariff system. In the window of the exhibit are in stalled six fat porkers, all alive. Each of these pigs is labeled with one of the following appellations: Sugar Trust. Woolen Trust, Match Trust. Steel Trust, Harvester Trust and Thread Trust. New features are to be Introduced into the exhibition every day. Idea Is Woman's. Every Friday will be ladies day, and next Friday at noon Mrs. J. Borden Harriman will be the speaker. It is only fair that the Democrats should give a day a week to women, because it was a woman who conceived the idea of the exhibit. The credit is due to the wife of Con- | gressinan James L. Slayden, of San i Antonio, Texas. Last spring Mrs. Slayden had occasion to buy a sewing l machine of American make in San An- | tonio. Some time later, while traveling I in Mexico, she found she could buy the same machine there for 40 per cent less. Then she discussed the matter with her husband and learned that the trusts exported their goods to foreign countries, where there was competi tion. foiSless money than they demand ed for them Jiere at home. “Why don’t you get up an exhibit and show that?" said Mrs. Slayden. "You’ll have half the housewives in America preaching Democracy from the house tops.” Colonel Blows Hot Air. So the idea of the exhibit Was grad ually evolved. It has many attractions Under a ;ent there is a "Tariff Mis fortune Teller," who will explain the I ' tariff misfortunes" to any one who I wants to hear them. You can find out | there just what you would have to pay I for any article if there were no protec tive tat iff. There Is a group of three wax fig ures against one wall. One of them represents the capitalist, “this man gets it;” another the workingman, "this man pays it,” and the third. Colonel Roosevelt, blowing hot air through a tube. A placard makes him say: “What in blazes ails that pay en velope I’m blowing as hard as ever?" A group of small balloons repre sents the “fragrant fragments of the Tobacco Trust." This is also a symbol ic group. In another place a live horsi wili work at a treadmill He is Just out of reach of the fodder which lie continually strives to gel. "Doesn't have horse sense.” reads the placard. "Neither <lo you If you keep yourself on the protection treadmill any longer " Another placard informs the public that the Democratic parly takes good care of this horse. Famous Cartoons Shown. There are cirtoons on the walls by all the fumoqs New York eurtoorilHts. They are the original drawings of the cartoons which have appeared In va rious newspapers lately. There are quotations from Roosevelt and refuta tions by Woodrow Wilson, and all sorts of tables, statements and even epi grams, such as the following: "The tariff is not a stimulus, but a sterilizer." “The threat to reduce wages if the tariff Is lowered is the hallmark of ig norant management.” I One of the crowning features of the exhibit is a home in which several I rooms are represented. In each room j tile articles are labeled with the prices I paid for them by the exhibit commis- I sion and the amount they would cost jif there were no tariff. For instance, i the placard on the dining room chairs I reads as follows: Cheaper Abroad Than Here, "For these dining room chairs we paid here $6. The duty Is 35 per cent of the value. That Is the reason we paid so much." I he duty on household goods varies between 35 per cent and 60 per cent; on clothes between 55 per cent and 90 per cent. A sewing machine is exhibited with the receipted bill showing the j-'mount paid for it by the exhibit com , mittee. The placard reads: “This sewing machine costs in New ! York S3O. It is offered for export at ; $18.62. The foreign dealers can add ( ■l3 1-3 per cent to cover charges and profit and sell In England or Holland for $24.83. Shoes are shown for which $3.85 was paid in Calcutta and a du plicate pair for which $5 was paid in New York. There is a typewriter for u Inch S9O was paid. The export price is given at $55. A cigar is exhibited which cost 15 cents in New York, and which is sold for 7 cents in Gibraltar.” Dress Goods, Too, One of the most interesting features of the exhibit is a dress which is pla carded as follows: “The cloth in this dress was secured from the agent for Senator Lippett's mills. This cloth matches Tariff Board Sample 129. •Senator Lippett want/.l more pro tection’ of Ihfs cloth, and so the duty was increased from 35 j>er cent on the value under the Dingley hill to 51.42 under the Payne-Aldrich bill. “This cloth retails at 17 cents in Eng land. "This cloth retails at 25 cent.® in the I’nitcd States. "For a dress like this: "Cost of 11 yards in United States is $2.75. “Cost of II yards in England Is $1.87."

FLINN CONDEMNS SUICIDE OF NOGI; IS “INJURY TO JAPAN” A lite of patriotism marred by a final act that injured his country and could not be patriotic is the way in which Dr. Richard Orme Flinn, pastor of North Avenue Presbyterian church, charac terizes the suicide of t'ount Maresuke Nogl, supreme military councillor of J a pa n.
