Giovan nltti officially ended at 6 a. in. today, hundreds of textile workers refused to return to work, and within an hour after the mills opened the bloodiest riot of the Industrial Workers of the World demonstration occurred Thirty operatives were beaten down by the police clubs wlvn 200 strikers at tempted to "rush" the big gates of the Arlington mills. The polite prepared for trouble when the malcontents who defied their lead ers’ orders to return to work gathered about the Arlington mill. After Jeering the operatives going back to work and failing to check the steadily increasing number of returning tollers, 200 men stormed the mill, Intending to drive out the workers and wreck the machinery. The local and state police advanced to meet the assailants and a short and bloody battle ensued. Thirty operatives were wounded, some of them being bad ly beaten. Caged in Blind Street. The officers drove the men Into a blind street end there the battle raged with the police the aggressors and the workmen vainly trying to find some avenue of escape Several of the operatives broke through the police lines and others with remarkable agility climbed a high boaid fence. The authorities contented them selves with dispersing the mob and made no arrests. Though not more than 1,000 employ ees stayed away from their work today, there was a general feeling of uneasi ness and close watch was kept on Carlo Tresea, the Pittsburg editor who is leader of the present demonstration. He Is quoted by the police as saying: "If Ettor.

I.—" The Self Help league" Is the latest organization in the city. A series of lectures on Vital subjects is proposed. Aldine Chambers Severely Roasts James G. Woodward In this morning’s paper appears a statement in a paid advertisement, signed by James G. Woodward, “candidate for mayor.’’ He richly deserves the title “candidate for mayor” because he has been a chronic candidate for the last twelve years, and if he had also added “candidate for chief among blackguards and slanderers” he would have been accorded that place without dispute. Woodward says that “I am a ring candidate.” I have heretofore published the names of the good and true citizens of Atlanta whom I am charged with dom inating in city politics. This list includes some of the best business and professional men in the city of At lanta and some of the best men in the ranks of labor, men whose shoe latchets Woodward is not worthy to tie. If men of this type banded together for good gov ernment can be called a ring, then I am willing to suf fer the consequences of being supported by such a ring. WOODWARD’S STATEMENT in the MORNING PAPER in reference to the price of ASPHALT IS UNTRUE. Read the following statement of Mr. Tull Waters: “I stated at a meeting of the Public Works Com mittee recently that the ASPHALT TRUST wanted to SHE'S A GLOBE-TROTTER z J® • % \' k \ ▼ V i / \r ' / ■> i Miss Isla Tudor, who is llm most traveled youngster on the fact of the globe.

I notice in this connection that Woodward has never published the name of a single person who is supporting him. It is for the reason that his support is all under ground. The city of Atlanta pays $21.75 per ton for asphalt f. o. b. Atlanta. Add freight rates from Philadelphia to Atlanta and see how much more is paid by Atlanta than Philadelphia. This is another canard that is ut terly groundless. I only wish to say that Woodward has been may or two terms and a candidate for mayor six times—and where are the wonderful results which accrued from any administration of his? It is a well known fact that every progressive act passed during his administra tion was passed over his veto and his protest. The public are tired of being humbugged by Woodward’s claim that he accomplished wonders when mayor. He gives no credit to the members of council or the other public spirited citizens who took part in whatever movements were inaugurated during his disgraceful administrations. charge Fulton county for asphalt delivered in Atlanta S3B per ton. whereas we had information that the prices charged in Philadelphia were $lB per ton (not sl3 as quoted in the morning paper). The county board has therefore held up the letting of the contract as we thought this TOO GREAT a difference, notwith standing the question of freight rates.

Lawyers Appointed To Defend Negroes CI’MMIXG, GA.. Oct. I.—Fred Mor rls, of Marietta; Isaac Grant, of Jas per; Howell Brooks and John Collins, of Canton, and A. H. Fisher, of Cum ming. were this afternoon appointed by Judge Newt Morris to defend the four negroes no\v held in Jail Atlanta who will be brought hzre tomorrow for trial Thursday. Judge Morris asked that two or more of these lawyers meet the prisoners at Buford and confer with them as to their defense before they reach Cumming. The trials will begin at 8 o’clock Thursday morning. Judge Morris, from the bench, warned the people of Forsyth county that the pris- oners would be under jipoteetton of the military and that any demonstration might lead to serious if not fatal conse quences. At the morning session of court Judge Morris called eight lawyers, in cluding Messrs. Morris and Brooks, but each one offered an ejtcuse for not de fending the negrobs. At the time all were excused. Four of them had been retained to assist the solicitor general in the prosecution. Today the Forsyth county grand jury returned true bills against Ernest Knox, alias Ernest Daniel, and against Oscar Daniel, two of the negro prisoners, charging them with assaulting the white girl, whose death led to a lynch ing here last month. The girl's father appears as prosecutor. GOVERNOR ASKED TO APPOINT ARBITER IN SEABOARD TAX FIGHT The comptroller general today called upon the goveipor to appoint an um pire to arbitrate the tax returns of the Seaboard Air Line, which have been in dispute many weeks.

The Seaboard named Thod Ham mond. of Atlanta, and he and Mr. Han dler have been endeavoring for week’ to reach an agreement aS to a third man, but without success, I he comptroller today, taking cogni zance of the failure of Candler and Hammond to get together, asked the governor to intervene and name the third arbitrator, which he has the right to do. The governor likely will name the third arbitrator this afternoon. AUGUSTA TAXPAYERS CAN NOT STOP VOTE ON INCREASE OF LEVY Judge W. R. Hammond's recent ill ness has caused one of Augusta’s many political battles to be staged in Fulton superior court. Richmond county tax payers appeared before Judge Bell to dax and asked that he enjoin election managers from submitting a proposed tax assessment to Augusta voters on tomorrow. F. P. Reynolds, B. R. Green and J. W. Jenkins, plaintiffs in the suit, told the court that the charter amendment passed by the legislature providing for a reformatory was not approved by Governor Brown until August 16. 1912. Before an election on such an amend ment can be called 60 days legal notice must be given. The attempt to hold the election to morrow along with the general state election was characterized as an at tempt to rush through a tax raise without giving Augusta voters due no tice of the fact. Judge Bell refused the injunction. EXILES SELF TO ESGAPEGOSSIPS Birmingham Woman, Found in Atlanta by Husband, Begs Him Not to Take Her Back. Smarting under the sting of gossip. Mrs. A. A. Linaberry. an attractive young woman living in Birmingham, came to Atlanta two weeks ago to seek seclusion and to hide herself, even from her husband. She was found today by Detectives Gillespie and McGill, living quietly in a down-town hotel, and was turned over to her husband, who came here to search for her, Linaberry accompanied the detectives on their hunt, and when the missing wife saw him, she threw her arms about his neck and kissed him time and again. "Don't take me back to Birmingham,” she pleaded. “I don’t want to go back there until this cruel gossip is stop ped.” The husband pacified her by promis ing not to take her to Birmingham. Shortly afterward, husband and wife boarded a train for Chattanooga, where Mrs. Linaberry has relatives. Linaber ry is a locomotive engineer. Mrs. Linaberry left her home to come to Atlanta on a visit, and since that time her husband had heard nothing from her. MASHER STATIONED AT A CEMETERY ARRESTED CHICAGO, Oct. I.—Thomas Stams, a waiter, was arrested, charged with hang ing about a cemetery to flirt with girls and women who came to put flowers on the graves of relatives. A Fighting Cock “ I feel like a fighting cock ” is the expression of the man with an active liver—he tackles his work with vim— he is successful —nine times out of ten you will find he takes Tutt’s Pills which have been used by a million people with satisfac tory result. At your drug gist’s—sugar coated or plain. This campaign is simply an issue of decency against indecency and involves merely the question of whether a common blackguard, who will stoop to any unscrupulous slander, and who has adopted such meth ods in his race for mayor as to almost frighten any de cent man from entering a race against him, shall be placed by this city at the head of its government and thus advertise to the world that a majority of her people are of the Woodward type. This morning’s publication is Woodward’s dying wail. The people of Atlanta will bury him so deep po litically that he will never rise again to vex this city with his disgraceful politics, his dirty and slanderous methods and the low plane to which he aspires to bring the campaign for mayor upon every recurring mayoralty election. I am confident that at the primary on Wednesday I will receive a majority of all the votes cast and that the city will be spared the humiliation of Woodward’s participating in a second primary.
