The condemned man I bequeathed his body to the young men. that they might use it for anatomical; \ -tudies. , The three students, J. N. Webb, J. C. ! • .'lilt >rd and C. C. Horton, are from An ] derson, S. ('., former home of Sam Hyde, and all are attending the At lanta College of Physicians and Sur geons. They will meet the body at the train, bear it to the dissecting rooms of the college, and use it throughout the remainder of the term, for studies in anatomy. Perhaps the skull of San, Hyde will in time adorn the college museum and serve to prove or disprove the theories of criminologists. Hi“ finger bones may btk-omc hlgWy prized ■ -ouvenirs among the students, for ■ medicos have grewsome ideas some ] limes. | Hyde murdered his wife and her fa ither early last year, and his case fur ] nished one of the most noted legal bat pies in Carolina h .story. His trial was I a dramatic one a id resulted in convic- Ition. Later the officials of the state! ] penitentiary began to doubt Hyde’s sanity and a commission of alienists i was appointed to investigate. After a 'long examination the experts reported I that Hy de was sane and should be ex ecuted in expiation of his crime. Wasn’t First to 1 Die in Chair. Hyde was the first Carolinan sen i fenced to death in the electric chair, | which has just displaced the gallows. ] It was his own desire that he be given this grewsome distinction. But the I i xaminatibn into Ids sanity delayed | matters; he was given a long respite, and in this time fout other slayers went to their deattf in the chair in the state penitentiary at Columbia. To several newspaper men in Co lumbia Hyde confessed his guilt yes ]ter...iy afternoon and said he deserved to die, and did not desire further res pite.

VICE WAR BRINGS | CRIME DECREASE Court Records Show Greatly I Improved Condition Since Closing of Tenderloin. Offering the court records of the last 24 hours as an indication of improving conditions, Chief of Police Beavers to day predicted a big drop in criminal cases in Atlanta as a result of his ex termination of the tenderloin. The records showed that from mid night until 8:30 today there was not a case made in police court, a very un usual condition. For the eight hours preceding that only four cases were made—one of those by the sanitary of- I Heer. “The vice we have wiped out,” said Chief Reavers today, "was the source of much other crime in Atlanta. A re markable reduction already is appar ent and a greater slump is certain.” The restricted district was dark again last night. Few of its former tenants remain. The police kept close watch and there is little probability that any attempt to violate the ban will be made. ACCUSED OF FORGERY, FITZGERALD BROKER ENDS LIFE WITH DRUG FITZGERALD. GA.. Oct.

I.—At a meeting of city council last night the business of the board of public works was j taken over by city council. The board of public works was abol- ( iahed by a legislative act. The aboli tion of this body has been discussed for two years or more. This year, when city council had a resolution irttro i duced in the general assembly to abol r ish the board, the latter body promptly , framed a resolution to put. city council out of existence. but the bill never reached the legislature. Emphasizes Estrangement by Omitting Future Emperor From Family Photo. RERUN, Oct. 1. The very latest pho tograph of Emperor William in the midst of his family still further emphasizes the unhappy fact that the kaiser and Crown Prince William are estranged and adds graphic strength to the report that the head of the Hohenzollerns is so “at outs” with his eldest son and heir that he prac tically ignores him. Here two strong wills clash; the older man imperious but po lite; the younger man democratic, less guarded. From the newest photograph of the kaiser and those dearest to him. the crown prince is absent. In the picture are two sons of the crown prince, to whom the emperor is devotedly attached, and Prince Adelhert. the kaiser’s third son, Ger many’s “Sailor Prince,” who while he was sometimes angered the emperor by his escapades, has never dared to combat openly the desires of his father and sov ereign. The crown prince is conspicuously absent from the group. The truth Is that the emperor has never forgiven the crown prince since that ex traordinary scene in the reichstag. which surely will become historical, when the kaiser’s heir openly opposed his father’s foreign policy. A spark would then have exploded a frightful war between Germany and England, which might have Involved most of Europe. Chancellor Vonßethman-Holweg had ad dressed the reichstag in defense of Germany’s part In the settlement of the Moroccan question. Then up rose Herr VonHeydebrand, of the militant party, and he declared, in a most bellicose speech: “The German people will give a German answer to this English problem. When- 1 ever demanded, we are ready to make I sacrifices, not only of treasure, but of blood.” Seated In the royal box, the crown prince was plainly delighted by this challenge to England. Smiling, he slapped his brother, Prince August, on the back and ap plauded. This unheard of indiscretion, this open indorsement of an open militant policy in furiated the kaiser, who promptly packed the crown prince off to Dantzfc, "pro tnotng" him to command the crack “Death's Head” Hussars stationed there. Despite the prayers of the empress, de- ; spite the emperor's affection for the crown princess and her children, the' crown prince remained In Dantzlc until I the kaiser became convinced his son was threatened with an affection of the throat resembling that which was fatal to the kaiser's father. Emperor Frederick. I hen he was permitted to return to Potsdam. For his father’s ire had been excited by other phases of the crown prince’s conduct than his behavior in the reichstag Ills independent opinions, his I open sympathy with the workingmen's | unions, t-'s speech at his wedding fes tival, his simplicity of manner and known aversion to flattery all have leaned heav ily on the balance toward the Liberal party. Now. as these dispatches have told, the kaiser deliberately snubs bls first born, they never correspond when apart and rarelj speak to each other. The kaiser refused to review the crown prince's regiment at the recent maneuv ers; even absented himself the other day 1 from the birthday fete of the crown prin cess, of whom he is very fond, democratic us she is.

ORTIE M’MANIGAL PLEADS GUILTY IN DYNAMITING CASES INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. I—Ortle E. McManigal pleaded guilty on every count. Olaf A. Tveitmoe and Eugene Clancy pleaded not guilty, and Judge Anderson reversed his ruling, made at the time of the arraignment of the prisoners In March, and today granted separate trials to the defendants In the I nation-wide dynamite conspiracy when I the famous trial opened in his court room this morning. The change in the judge’s ruling was the surprise of the morning. It fol lowed the filing of a motion by Alfred S Hovey, of counsel for the defense, asking the order of the court consoli dating tile trials of the defendants be set aside. The government made no attack on the motion, considering it a ! matter involving a mere technicality. ; The attorneys for the government will i endeavor later to have the new ruling -el aside and move again for the con | solidation of all the hearings. The Judge's decision today was the first victory for the defense. SOCIALISTS' NOMINEE EXPECTING HEAVY VOTE COLUMBUS, GA., Oct. I.—On the I eve of the state election on Wednesday. A. F Ca*tl«J>erry, nominee for governor of Georgia of the Socialist party, is confident that his party will cast the heaviest vote that it has ever polled tn this state. Mr. Castleberry is expecting to make a strong showing in Columbus and Muscogee county, but owing to the lack of interest in the approaching election, in this particular section, it is not be- ; 1 li>ved that there will be a large vote polled. lx® ... ■ 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE Since t the counting of the strike ballot was ended yesterday and the result made known to General Manager Scott by officials of the union, efforts have been made to bring about peace. A conference, called yesterday, afternoon be tween officials of the road and the unions, ended at 1 o’clock this morning without accomplishing anything. After this conference thb railroad officials issued this statement: It Is probable that the conductors, flagmen, baggage masters and yard trainmen may withdraw from our serv ice.” This is taken as an admission on the part of the railroad officials that they have little, if any, hope of averting a walkout. Vice President T. A. Gregg, of ths Order of Railway Conductors, and Vice President James Murdock, of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, are handling the situation here for tlyir re spective organizations. Wife Sure Ousted Husband Will Win Mrs. John T. Paschal, of 84 East avenue, wife of the Georgfa railroad conductor whose discharge over a tech nicality may cause a strike of 300 train men, is more than confident that her husband will be vindicated In the end. In whatever action ensues she believes her husband and his fellow trainmen will be returned victors. ”1 don’t know ahout all the details ot the trouble,” said Mrj. Paschal today, “but I am sure Mr. Paschal will win. He Is fighting for a principle and the railroad officials know that he and the men are right. “My husband did not tell me about his discharge until a month after he had been turned off. because I was ill, but he said before he left for Augusta that he Intended to fight the thing out to the end. He did not believe it was right to be turned off as he was after twenty years of service. “Some of the men are saying that the railroad company discharged Mr. Pas chal because he had always been prom inent in the affairs of the union and not because he worked his train several minutes over the time limit. "T don’t know about that, but I do know that Jack expects to win this fight and I expect him to win it. too.” Mrs. Paschal said that because of her recent illness she would not be able to go to Augusta, where the con test between the men and the railroad company will be waged If a strike is called. “But I will help him to win in every way I can, because he is right in this fight.” was her parting shot.
