As suming Responsibility. Atlanta's tenderloin is being wiped out today by the police. <Tiief Beavers, suddenly and without the slightest previous in tonation as to his plans, began a war of extermination at noon.

As the i ' of officers served notice after . they left consternation and con- ■nn in their wake. It all came so " xpectedly that the residents of the ’'-wlerloin were dumbfounded.

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..

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.

WILSON sums boss 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." WANTS GUARDIAN FOR HUSBAND: ALSO DIVORCE ST. LOUIS, Sept 24.—Mrs. Ella Ro mer. twenty years old, has filed a di vert e suit against Walbridge Romer and. alleging that her husband is only nineteen years old. asked the court tn appoint a guardian to act as Romer s best friend in answering the petition. ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 11)12. ill BUILOING REGOHDSIN ARM BROKEN September Alone to See $2,- 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 This i« the real start non. It's the biggest eport evrn "f many «»asons. M agers ar* being staked on which will be finished fl rat. BASEBALL AND RACING RACES AT HAVRE DE GRACE. First—Ben Loyal 7-5. first: Amoret 4-5.
