Atlanta's tenderloin is being
wiped out today by the police.
<Tiief Beavers, suddenly and
without the slightest previous in

war of extermination at noon. In
company with Captain Lamar
Poole and Policemen McWilliams
and Paul West, the chief drove
away from the police station in

Decatur street, began serving no

Deaf Mutes Mistaking
Neighbor's Door for
Owns Shot as Burglar
Unable to Hear Challenge, He
Continued Working at Lock.
Dies of Wound.
CHICAGO, Sept. 24—The body of
William Gray, a deaf mute, shot be
cause he could not hear a challenge
when he was misiaken for a burglar,
was sent to Lowell, Ind . today. Gray
died on a Monon train, on which he
was sent to Chicago in a vain effort to
save his life.
Gray started for tils home in Lowell
after a day out of town. His home is
located between those of Mrs. Breese
Webb and Grove Lloyd. By mistake
he went to the door of the Webb homo,
which is much like his own. Mrs. Webb
heard some one trying to unlock the
door. She screamed. Her screams
roused Lloyd, who went to a window
in his own house, saw the man tam
pering' with the lock, thought he was a
burglar, and shouted.
Gray could not hear, and continued
to work at the lock. Then Lloyd fired
to frighten Gray. The bullet struck the
sidewalk and glanced, entering into
Gray's skull.
PRISONER IN DASH
FOR FREEDOM AS
HE IS SENTENCED
John Jones, a mulatto, known to the
local police as a "bad man." threw the
criminal division of superior court into
an uproar today by a dating attempt
to escape from the bailiffs.
While Judge Ellis was pronouncing
sentence upon Jones, the negro, who
had been standing before the bench,
made a dash for the door. Before
Deputy Sheriff Plennie Miner could
reach him, the prisoner was half-way
through the court room, fighting his
way through the throng of loungers.
When the deputy reached him, the
negro showed fight, and for .several sec
onds a free-for-all battle ensued, in
which bailiffs and spectators took part.
Jones was placed on trial early this
morning, charged with having robbed
the residence of A. A, Manning, getting
$47 in cash and a revolver. The jury
brought in a verdict of guilty, and
Judge Ellis sentenced the prisoner to
seven years in the penitentiary.
SOUTHERN PASSENGER
TRAIN NO. 13 HIT BY
FREIGHT; 8 INJURED
COHI'TTA. GA.. Sept. 24. -Engineer
Joseph Lawler was badly hurt, a negro
cook in the dining car was scalded ami
six passengers were bruised, when a
Southern railway southbound freight
train collided with fast passenger train
No. 13, northbound from Atlanta, in the
yards here at 9:30 o'clock this morning.
None of the injured is expected to die.
Engineer Lawler was at the throttle of
lhe freight engine.
The passenger train, which left Atlanta
at 5:30 o’clock, was standing in the Co
hutta yards, having orders to meet the
freight al this point. The freight was
running a little behind time and. in an
effort not to delay the passenger it came
into the yards under a good head of
steam. Engineer Lawler did not see the
passenger until he rounded a curve a
short distance away. He was unable to
slow down in time to avoid a crash.
The freight engine and several cars
were derailed and the road was blocked
for several .hours. It was necessary to
send the passenger train back to Tlalton
and detour it over the Western and At
lantic railroad to Chattanooga.
WOMAN SAYS STATE
OWES HER FORTUNE
ON A 100 YEAR NOTE
In New Albany. Ind., is a young
woman. Mrs. Fred Zuber by name, who
believes She has-a small-sized fortune
awaiting her in the coffers of the state
of Georgia. Officials at the state treas
ury are of an entirely different opin
ion.
Mrs. Zuber has written H. L. Cul
berson, treasurer of Fulton county, set.
ting forth her claim. She says that she
is an heir of one Baker, a German,
long since dead, who lent the state of
Georgia a large sum of money on a 100-
year note. She wants to know when
this note is due.
State Treasurer Speer said today that
he had no knowledge of the existence
of this note, nor did any state official
remember anything about it.

GOV. WILSON

SffllT
POLL:
I
Candidate Casts Vote Against
the Man He Opposes for
Senatorship.
PREDICTS GREAT CRISIS
IN FINANCES OF NATION
Tells Students Big Business
Expansion Is Coming, With
Country Not Ready.
i
PRINCETON, X. J., Sept. 24.—Gov
ernor Wilson carried to the polls todai
his fight against James Smith, Jr.. wh<
Is trying to be returned to the United
States senate. He cast ballot No. 9 in
the Sixth precinct of Princeton for Wil
liam Hughes, Smith's most formidable
opponent, and before voting at the pri
maries he arraigned Smith as the agent
of corrupt corporations.
In a speech before several hundred
Princeton students the governor de
clared that Smith was a pon-partisan
boss, working only for the interests of
his client, and that he was supported
whenever Governor Wilson had fought
him by Republican newspapers.
Governor Wilson came to Princeton
from Princeton Junction by automobile
and was escorted to the polling place
by 400 students, headed by a bass drum
and a snare drum, singing a jolly, rol
licking melody to "Whoop her up fo>
Woodrow Wilson."
At the polling place they demanded a
speech. Governor Wilson told the boys
he would not be permitted to speak
within 100 feet of a polling place. They
promptly led him to the steps of the
Second Presbyterian church. There he
said in relation to business enterprises:
"College men have a particular duty
to perform. They must think straight
in the present crisis, for it is a crisis.
The boss merely K's a political organizer
is not dangerous. He is not to be
feared, but the man we call boss is the
agent of those who wish to control pol
itics for their own interests.
Predicts Crisis
From Expansion.
"The reason all this concerns college
men particularly is this:
“I want you fellows to realize • that
when you are studying politics, and
now particularly, when you are study
ing public finance you are studying the
most critical things that concern this
nation. The Democrats are going to
win in the first place" (wildly cheered),
•'and when they do they are going to do
things that will take the shackles off
the business of the country. Then what
will happen? The banking and cur
rency system of this country is not
ready for the expansion of business and
if the business begins io expand rapidly
we may find ourselves in the grip of
one of the most tremendous crises we
have ever had unless in the meantime
we correct our currency system, and
that is a job chiefly of education, be
cause most of the things connected
with the currency system are not gen
erally understood.
"The country is Jealous of the bank
ers—J think jealous of some bankers
with Just cause—and it won't trust
them O' take their advice Nobody be
lieves In economists. Outside of the
economists and bankers there is no
body who lias given it sufficient study
to expound it as it really is.
"Therefore, the more college men
know about this subject the more they
understand the remedies and preach
them the better for this country—and
they had better get or; the Job right
away. There is going to be business
expansion and this expansion is going
to be dangerous.
1 have been saying that I am not in
terested In the personal side of the
controversy. 1 am not interested in
what my opponents say about me. I
don’t care a rap wtat they say about
me, Ihe question is with regard to
what we are going to do and how we
are going to do it."

000.000 in Permits—Year’s
Total Will Be $9,000,000.
HEALY AND HURT READY
TO BEGIN SKY-SCRAPERS
First Work on $2,000,000
Structures to Call for Expen
diture of $1,400,000.
City Building Inspector Hayes said
today that he was ready to issue build
ing permits for the South's two great
est office buildings—the William T
Healy building and the Joel Hurt build
ing
These buildings, when complete, will
cost about $2,000,000 each. The sec
tions to be constructed at once will
cost $700,000 each, according to the per
mits of the building inspector.
The $1,400,000 in permits makes Sep
tember the record building month in
Atlanta's history. The total is already
$1,845,389, and Inspector Hayes esti
mated that the total will reach $2,000.-
000. ,
This month's record also insured 1912
as the city’s record building year. In
cluding the two new buildings, the total
alreaxiy is $6,542,550. Inspector Hayes
estimated that the total for the year
will ba fully $9,000,000.
Atlanta Far Ahead
Os All Southern Cities.
The nearest approach to September's
figures is the record of April, 1912.
That month $1,135,396 in permits was
recorded. April. 1910. Is next, with sl.-
111,177. The $9,000,000 record of 1912 is
approached by $7,405,950 In 1910, $6.-
215,900 in 1911, and $5,551,951 in 1909.
Atlanta already Is far ahead of all
other Southern cities for this year, and
when the reports for September are
compiled her lead will be greater still.
The Healy building, when complete
as a $2,000,000 structure, will cover the
entire block bounded by Forsyth, Pop
lar. Broad and Walton streets. Mr.
Healy Is building only one-half of it
now. the Forsyth street side. The oth
er half will be built later, replacing the
old buildings on Broad street.
The building is to be sixteen stories
high, with a basement. It will be faced
with stone and terracotta. The two
parts will be separated by a corridor,
for light and air.
In the building of this giant struc
ture. "Bill” Healy will continue his un
usual methods. Millionaire that ho is,
he prefers to do the actual superin
tending of the work himself, rather
than spend his time in pleasure or fol
lowing some other work.
Race Between Healy
And Hurt on in Earnest.
Only contracts for individual parts of
the work will be let. Mr. Healy will
be found daily “on the Job” until the
building Is complete, just as he has
been since he started the excavation
with one negro and a mule three years
ago'.
Mr. Hurt's building will cover the tri
angle bounded by Edgewood avenue
Exchange place and Ivy street. The
part he has begun work on will fit in
the point of the triangle between Ex
change place snd Edgewood avenue.
The larger part of the structure is not
to be erected until the first part is
completed.
The building is to be seventeen sto
ries high, with a basement. It will be
faced with cut stone, terracotta and
brick. The first floor will be used for
a bank, with offices on all floors above.
The contract for the construction of
the building has been let to the Realt?
Construction Company, of Birmingham.
They are really off in the most won
derful race known in Atlanta building
history. The contest between "Bill”
Healy and Joel Hurt in building sky
scrapers is no joke, but a serious prop
osition.
Mr. Hurt applied for a building per
mit first. Mr. Healy persuaded him and
the building Inspector to hold it up un
til he (Mr. Healy) w-a.« ready to applt
for his, that they might both start even

WOMAN INTIMATE OF
BANDIT WATCHED FOR
BANK ROBBERY CLEWS
CHICAGO. Sept. 24.- Detectives today
are keeping close watch on a farm house
just outside of Klkhart. Ind., where a
woman known as Mrs. Little, and said to
have been an intimate of one of the men
connected with the robbery of the Bank
of Montreal, at New Westminster, B. C.,
has been hiding. Whether the woman is
atill there, or whether she has slipped
awa.v and gone to St. Louis is puzzling
the officers. A report says she has gone
to the Missouri city and police here have
asked detectives there to be on the look
out for her.
The woman is said to have known
Frank West, one of the men the police
now believe was a member of the robber
gang West was a partner of J. S. Mor
gan, known as “Chicago Slim," and
"Dock" Dansell. members of the gang If
the police can locate Mrs. Little they be
lieve they will be able to secure valuable
clews in their search for the robbers.
Mrs Blanche Voight, of Chicago, was
questioned further by the police here to
day. Mrs. Voight was one of the women
in the Sidias saloon, where Lieutenant
Burns was beaten when he tried to arrest
two of the robbers
