GA., Sept. 18.—Savan nah ministers having protested against the quality of men on the jury lists, it is understood that when the new list is compiled there will be a surprise tn store tor them in that practically all of them will be on it. Almost every phy sician in the city also will be on the list. It was stated by the ministers that the class of persons who should serve on juries wore not put on the lists, and that this was the reason the judges found difficulty in securing good jurors and why it is hard to convict in cer tain eases, particularly for violations of the liquor laws. The jury commissioners gave cre dence to the statements, and in order to remedy the matter and satisfy the ministers, the preachers themselves were put on the list.

The magnitude of the task is appar ent from the fact that the mother tick’s brood of one season may be 500 ticks, each of which is a menace to cattle.

Threatens to Sue Waldo for Libel. | ALIBI PREPARED FOR ACCUSED"GUN MEN" i Attorney for -Gyp’ and ‘Lefty’ Say They Were Not Near Slaying. NEW YORK. Sept. 18.— Before the aidermanic graft committee assembled today to continue its investigation into the police department. A. J.. Johnson, former public official and assistant I manager of Mayor Gaynor's campaign | whose name has been dragged into the scandal, threatened to sue Police Uom mi~sioner Waldo for libel, and demand ed that he be called as a witness before the committee. Johnson's was one of the names mentioned’in an affidavit made by Po lice Captain John T. Reith, of the Alac- Dougal Street station, w ho sweats that he could have bought a captaincy four years ago for $15,000.'' Johnson also threatens to sue Reith. It was this affidavit Waldo' promised to produce before the com- | mittee today, although at the time the alleged offer was made to Reith, Theo dore Bingham was commissioner of po lice. Johnson alleged the story Ts simply 7- "a backfire,” designed to discredit him as a witness before the committee. Going After The Facts. An important point, in view of the charges made against him which Em ory R. Buckner, counsel for the com mittee. said he would try’ to clear up today, is where, w hen and why the af fidavit was made by' Reith. Reith was promoted from a lieutenancy in May. 1911. .Membeis of the committee ex pressed a determination to get all the facts, if possible. Everybody mention ed in connection with the affair was subpenaed, it is said. Thus far Cap tain Reith’s affidavit Is uncorroborated. Reith states that he did not pay the sum demanded of hini. and was passed for promotion, although he stood at the top of the list of lieutenants passed by the civil service commission. Accord ing to Reith, it was Johnson who first approached him with the offer, al though the police officer got the impres sion that Johnson represented others. Long before the doors of the room were opened, a crowd had gathered. Former Magistrate Wahje. counsel for the accused gunmen, said he would be able to produce evidence at the proper time to prove an alibi for his clients. An Alibi For the Gunmen. "Neither of these boy's was near the Metropole hotel at the time Rosenthal was killed." said Mr. Wahle. A telegram from Hot Springs. Ark., where District Attorney tVhitman and agents for Charles A. Becker, the ac cused police official, are seeking evi dence. said that the taking of deposi tions was being held np awaiting the arrival of counsel for Becker, who was expected to arrive today. Lawyers for Becker, Sam Schepps. the alleged “mur der paymaster,” and others' who are under arrest in connection with the murder seemed satisfied with the trend of events. According to the Hot Springs ad vices, a motive for the killing of Rosen thal existed outside Becker’s rage against the informer. Becker's lawyers will introduce a deposition containing an alleged statement from Schepps to the effect that Tenderloin characters who existed by traffic in white slavery were in a murderous rage against Ro senthal because the latter won their "cadets” away from them and success fully competed against theln. Becker's lawyers will try to show that the man whose murder had brought about the scandalous exposures was a white slaver as well as a gam bler. ATLANTA MAKES BID FOR ADVENTIST CONFERENCE WASHINGTON.

IXIRA 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE p^ t ° — m wn e BlKßll FIRST M MOIITO SISTER Girl Leading Hunt Gets Word From McVicker—Contents of Letter Kept Secret. z FOOTBALL INJURY OF YEARS AGO BLAMED Friend Believes DeLeon Disap ! pearance and Despondency Played Part in Mystery. 1. Herbert McVicker, the bank cash ier of Ellenwood. Ga„ who disappeared mysteriously ten days ago. is known to be alive and able to communicate with tils friends, though his present location is still a mystery. His sister. Miss Ka tie Lou McVicker, has received a let ter from him in which he said he left because he was despondent. A blow on the head, received in a football game at Locust Grove acade my years ago. is believed by his friends to be the cause of Herbert McVicker's strange disappearance from his home. It was believed just after McVicker re_ , ceived this injury that his brain would | seriously be affected, but he soon re covered and gave no sign of mental trouble. His friends now believe that increased business cares of the past few months brought about pressure on the brain from a piece of the fractured ekull. and resulted in McVicker's mor bid despondency and his sudden deter mination to disappear and abandon his affairs. Business Affairs Found in Good Shape. The letter received by Miss McVick er has not been made public, but a man closely in touch with the McVicker af fair, who is in Atlanta today, said he had learned that the letter’ bore the postmark of a Western railroad, show ing it had been mailed on a train, and that McVicker did not divulge his pres, ent address. In the letter he merely stated that unusual despondency led to his disappearance. For the past ten days the police of a dozen cities, bank officials and friends have been trying to find Ihe missing bank cashier. An examination of his books showed that he had not tampered with the bank's cash nor was he in any financial trouble other than worry over some transactions pending which re quired a great deal of attention. "Herbert had been building a cotton gin and some other enterprises'.” said this friend today. "It was worry' over increased responsibilities which caused him to give up and drop out of the world, I am sure. He had been used to working for a salary most of his life and the increased worry of the past few months was too much for him. DeLeon Story May Have Been Cause. "His accounts are correct. He had not touched the bank deposit of a firm in which he is partner, but had drawn only the small amourit of cash in his own personal deposit. His business af fairs were all right, but they’ caused him a great deal of worry. The rasa seems to be almost identical with that of Moise DeLeon, the Atlanta contrac tor. It may have been that reading newspaper accounts of DeLeon's dis appearance gave McVicker the idea ol quitting everything and leaving. "McVicker was unmarried. He had a sweetheart in Ellenwood, but she says she had done nothing to make Herbert leave. Their courtship had not been broken off and seemed progressing as usual. "We folk in Ellenwood think Herbert would willingly give a thousand dollars to come back and resume his old life without gossip about the past. We wish he would return, for we all like and admire him.” MARRIAGE TO A JAPANESE DELAYED. KILLS HERSELF HOUSTON. TEXAS.
