DOA’ER, ENG.. Oct. 4.—The British ■ submarine B-2 was rammed by the Hamburg-American liner Amerika in a fog while maneuvering in the English Channel off Goodwin Sands today and ; was sunk with the loss of fourteen . lives. The only survivor was Lieutenant Bulleyne, second in command, who had a miraculous escape from death. He was recovered by the crew of another * submarine in an exhausted condition, clinging to a piece of wreckage. After being revived, he told a remarkable story. “When the B-2 was struck the sharp prow of the liner cut her in two,” said the officer. ."I was carried downward for v hat seemed at least a mile. I thought I never would stop descending. Aly lungs filled with water and 1 was in . excruciating agony. I thought I never would reach the surface." Foggy Weather Cause, The accident occurred at 6 o’clock in the morning, while the B-2 was maneu vering with other ships in the, channel squadron. The weather was foggy, and it was because of this that the acci dent occurred. The B-2 had just risen to the surface when the Amerika loomed above her. The vessels were so close that it was too late for either to take measures to prevent a collision. Although the Amerika was going only at about half speed, on account of the haze, the impact was so great that the sharp prow clove the shell of the submarine, and the latter instantly fill ed and sank. The Amerika stood by after the col lision, and the boats were lowered to pick up survivors. Searched For Survivors. At the same time she signalled the other vessels of the submarine fleet that an accident had occurred. Al though the liner's boats searched the waters for two hours, they found no one. Many of the passengers on the liner I were still asleep in their berths when the accident took place. When the im pact occurred many ran upon the decks, fearing that the vessel was in danger. They were calmed by the officers. The bow plates of the Amerika were slightly damaged by the collision. U. S. Destroyer And Barge Collide PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 4 —Just after she started to New York to participate in the naval review, the I’nited States torpedo boat destroyer Beale collided with a barge in the Delaware river to day. A hug<- hole was torn in her side. She was towed back to the navy yard. PEROXIDE TURNED HIS HAIR TO BRIGHT GREEN ULEVELAND. <>Hl<>.

Howell is charged with attacking the wife of a young farmer residing five miles from Cumming on the night of Thursday, September 5. It was this affair that first started the recent trouble in For syth county which resulted in militia companies being sent here on Septem ber 7 from Gainesville and Marietta to prevent a lynching. The crime for which Knox and Dan iel Were convicted followed the depar ture of the soldiers, but so close to the first crime that the inflamed state of the public mind had not had time to quiet down. The soldiers broke camp here at 10:30 o'clock this morning and imme diately started the fifteen-mlle march to Buford, where they will entrain this afternoon for Atlanta. They are due in Atlanta late this afternoon. The trip is over roads ankle deep in mud, caused by a continuous rain last night. At 9:45 o'clock Judge Newt Morris summoned Major Catron and all the other commissioned officers into the court loom, complimented them on the manner in which they had handled the situation here, and thanked them for the aid given the court. Then he directed that they return to Atlanta with the prisoners. No Delay in Execution. Knox and Daniel were convicted of assaulting and killing a young white woman near Cumming on September 8. Sentence was passed on the negroes by Judge Newt Morris just after he had convened court this morning.

Reid. Dr. G. P. Brice and Dr. J. H. Hockenhull, two of the witnesses against Knox yesterday, were appoint ed by the court to witness the hangings and certify to the death certificates. Knox was convicted at 4:08 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after the jury in his case had been out nineteen min utes. Daniel’s trial immediately fol lowed. He was convicted at 9:20 o’clock last night, after his jury had been out 43 minutes. SLEEP-WALKER ARRESTED FOR NOT WEARING CLOTHES MACON, GA.. Oct. 4.—When a police man halted Robert P. Colding, on Cherry street, for appearing In public in an al most nude condition, he found that the young man was unconsciously a violator of the law. because he was walking in his sleep Mr. Colding. when awakened, appeared greatly humiliated, especially since a large crowd ‘soon collected around him He was barefooted, and wore only a thin suit ■ f urulerwlear He had walked from hts boarding home, a distance of nine blocks, asleep all the time. ...-w JnSirr Fm i' /wW \ IS „ > pRy * R J \ 1 < I W J jf j| I r 1 I: | J/'i -a 1 t 0 " 11 ’ fl ■■ How soldiers nt Cumming halt citizens attempting to pass the picket line drawn around the courthouse square. Thunder Peals Requiem at Midnight Burial JACK WILSON IS AT REST In the downpour of a which had not ceased since ,sunset, with thunder pealing a requiem and lightning flashes illuminating the giovl of oaks, the body of Jack M. Wilson was lowered into the earth at Westview two hours after mid night today by the Knights of Kadosh. thirty-second degree Masons of the Scottish Rite. A tent had been erected to shelter the newly made grave, but the earth was sodden from the cease less rain, the cemetery shrouded ih gloom. The final ceremonies were per formed in deep silence until the last bit of earth had been smoothed over the casket. Then the Elks, also brothers of the man they honored, murmured a benediction over the absent brother and the cortege returned to the city. The open obsequies at St. Philips Episcopal cathedral wete by far tin most impressive ever knotvn in Atlanta. Citlzens'of great wealth have passed away, men in public life wfio had at tained high office, men whose philan thropy had made them honored, but none was given a funeral like that of Jack Wilson, a plain citizen who lov< d Atlanta and its people and Was beloved in turn. Mr. Wilson was high in the ranks of Masonry, an adept in its mys teries. a loyal knight of the order. Ail Masonry vied in paying a tribute to him. Mo-re than a thousand persons were gathered in the cathedral when the bells tolled, the midnight hour. The great Gothic chamber was shrouded in REBELS CARRY AWAY $50,000 BULLION FROM AMERICAN SMELTERS MEXICO CITY. Oct. 4.—Rebels have attacked the plant of the American Smelting and Refining Company at An gangue county, state of Michoacan, carrying off $50,000 worth of bullion. News of the attack was received here today. Government opposition met its final defeat in the chamber of deputies early toda.\ when an attempt was made to reconsider the recent vote on the bill authorizing President Madero to nego tiate a $10,000,000 loan to put down in surrection throughout Mexico. The bill now goes to the senate. Two hundred Indians In the state of Coahuila have gone on the war path. A telegram to the war mlnist') today from Saltillo, the capital, stated that the Indians were joining lire insur reclos. darkness, tire rain beat down upon the roof, the lightning -evealed glimpses of stained glass windows in vivid colors. Icn candles burned dimly around the birr in the chancel. Upon the stroke of twelve, seventeen b: others of the Knights of Kzdosh, garbed like monks of the Midijle Ages, marched slowly and solemnly up the central aisle. Extinguishing their can dles, they formed a circle arou-.d the pall and began a solemn ritual. The preceptor of the order began a brief and impressive eulogy and was answered by the knights. They weie challenged to accuse the dead of any wrong done while on this earth, and a shrouded raised his voice in a protest that God alone should judge the dead. The coffin was uncovered and the knights drew close around their brother. His crown of vine ami laur-i was removed, the cords which bound his limbs were loosened. Then the great organ began a requiem. the cowled brothers sprinkled the breast of the departed with holy water and the pteceptor struck three blows upon the cross at the head of the bier. A solemn < hoi us of men’s voices resounded from the darkness of the cathedral. Then, while the storm raged outside, a mem ber of the order high in the clergy of the cathedral, delivered an eulogy of the dead which Held the congregation in a spell of eloquence for an hour. At its close the slow procession to the cemetery was begun. COX CANDIDATES WIN OFFICES IN GILMER; SENATORSHjP IS LOST ELLIJAY, GA., Oct. 4.—The official canvass of Wednesday’s vote in Gilmer county shows the entire (’ox ticket was elected for county offices, as follows: W A.

BLODGETT DIES SUDDENLY Former Postmaster Came to Atlanta in 1868 -Funeral To Be Held Tomorrow. - Edwin I-' Blodgett, formerly Atlanta postmaster, died sudd.’nly at his home, 240 Ivy street, last night at 9 o’clock. He had been in bad health for many months, though only last Wednesday he was seen chatting with friends down town. Death was unexpected. Mr. Blodgett for nearly twenty years was in the postal department, and it was under him that the Atlanta post office was first so increased in efficien cy and receipts that it was ranged as first-class. President McKinley first appointed him postmaster in 1906, and Roosevelt reappointed him. He retired in 1911 and Hugh L. McKee succeeded him. He came to Atlanta in 1868 from Augusta, where he was born in 1850. His interest in the city's growth was marked from the first, and he made thousands of friends who will learn of his death with deep sorrow. In the First Baptist church he had been a deacon for years. For a number of years Mr. Blodgett was connected with the old Western and Atlantic railroad as conductor and purchasing agent, but when the road was leased he entered the railway mail service. He was chosen as superin tendent of Atlanta mail carriers and when Major W. H. Smythe became postmaster was appointed assistant postmaster. He is survived by his wife, one daughter. Miss Ruth Blodgett, and two sons. John F.. Jr., and Lewis Blodgett. The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning from the First Bap tist church, Rev. Charles W. Daniel officiating. Interment will be at Oak land. The board of Baptist deacons will act as an honorary escort, while the pallbearers, all lifelong friends, will be Clark Howell. George M. Hope, Henry S. Jackson, John M. Greene, Andy P. Stewart and H. E. Osborne. | AT THE THEATERS" “ALMA" COMES BACK AND IS BETTER THAN EVER The singing and acting of Grace Drew, as "Alma.” in "Alma, Where Do You Live," makes a new show of the perform ance. Those who saw "Alma" last year, and wondered why the piece was such a success in New York, would realize its possibilities with the present company. It's not the same show we saw last year, I but very must better, in every particular. Miss Drew's gracious personality and beautiful singing raises ''Alma’' to the level of a delightful first-class musical show. She brings an acting ability to the part which redeems it of the friv olous and rather suggestive features em phasized by her predecessor in the tole of "Alma," when presented here last sea son. Through all the flippancy of the role, the womanhood of charming Grace Drew brings out the underlying truth of the flirtatious young woman, and one knows that she will "ring true," when the test comes. Miss Drew sings the beautiful songs which fall to her share, in a manner that called for a half dozen encores She was ably assisted in several of the musical numbers by Charles F. Orr. as Pierre. Mr. Orr's voice is a clear, sweet tenor, and he sings with much expres sion. His duets with Miss Drew and his solos were most effectively rendered. Casting aside the entire performance, with the exception of the singing and act ing of Miss Drew and Charles Orr. one has an offering worth the price of admis sion. several times over. However, the comedy of the piece pleases many people. The present com pany, in all respects, is better than last year’s. Charles King is responsible for most, of the comedy, and he keeps the audience laughing while he is on the stage. The story of "Alma’’ Is not of the best, nor is the plot one that appeals to an American audience. But plot is noth ing and story is less, when Grace Drew is on the stage, or when Charles Orr sings "Love." or "Land of the Beautiful Dreams." The comedy serves as a rath er ordinary string upon which to hand the exquisite pearls of th* musical num bers. Os course. "Alnta. Sweet Alma.” etc.. Is the dominating musical strain, but that is by no means the only song worth while. There is "Childhood Days," and “Beauti ful Dreams.” and "Boogie Boo,” and "Sail Home," and "Kiss Me, My Love.” all full of melody and charm And then, one has not heard “Alma” until one hears Grace Drew sing It. Incidentally, Miss Drew Is a beautiful woman and wears exquisite gowns, and the stage settings are all to the good but why mention those things, when they are only Incidental, and not —as In many of the shows of the day the chief attraction of the play. In the pleasure of the per formance, one forgets to notice the stage details other than as accessory to the players, as it should be. "Alma” will be here for three more per formances, tonight and tomorrow night, with Saturday matinee. "THE QUAKER GIRL’S" VISIT WILL BE A BIG EVENT The east of "The Quaker Girl,” the great English musical comedy, which comes to the Atlanta theater for the week of October 7. is headed by Victor Morley, who made such a tremendous hit as Tom Stanhope, In the original "Three Twins" company Mr. Morley Is just In his ele ment in the present play. He has always been at his best In roles which portrayed the nobility or the gay and Irrepressible dandy His first engagement was to originate the role of the earl of Cholomon dley, in Grace George's success, "Pretty Peggy " Next he played Lord Artie, lit "The Prince of Pilsen;" then Richard Wargrave, the earl, in "The Earl and the Girl: ' then the Parisian dandy in "The Spring Chicken." and then his great suc cess in "The Three Twins.” But never has he been able to display his many ac complishments, his delightful voice and his charming personalitj' to better ad vantage than in his present role of Tony Chute. In 'The Quaker Girl.” It is a part which calls forth all the youthful buoyancy of his nature and gives ample opportunity for him to prove himself to be the finest dancer on the American stage. Seats are now selling. LARGE GRAND AUDIENCES SEE THIS WEEK’S BILL Joseph Hart s "An Opening Night” is one of the highest salaried acts now tn vaudeville.

Shelby Smith, member of the Fulton county commission and chairman of the sub-committee on alms and juveniles, has completed a probe of conditions at the Fulton county almshouse, based on charges preferred by inmates that guards and attendants at the institu tion had been guilty of drunkenness and brutality. After an investigation and visits to the institutions with S. B Turman and T. c. Waters, the other members of the sub-committee, Mr. Smith is au thority for the statement that, while af fairs at the poor house can and will be bettered materially, the specific charges of drunkenness and brutality are un founded. "VVe found that there was, really nothing to the serious charges made to us against Curtis Fanning, brother of Superintendent F. O. Fanning,” -aid Mr. Smith. "After a thorough Investif gation, we found that he had not been drunk, as asserted, nor had he abused or offered to abuse any of the inmates, male or female. "Inmates Old and Irritable.” "As in all such institutions, the In mates are old and difficult to handle and likely to be Irritable, and it takes men of patience and a certain kind of temperament to handle them. It may be that some of the employees out there are not fitted for their jobs, but there is nothing to the statement that any of them have been intoxicated or guilty of abuse" Inmates charged that Curtis Fanning went Into the dining hall in an intoxi cated condition and threatened to whip several of the women. Another guard, it was asserted, had threatened to punish several inmates for their refusal to get up in the morn ing. A year ago charges were mad* to the board that Dr. F. O. Fanning, su perintendent of the institution, had let the almshouse run down and failed to feed the Inmates properly. After an investigation, conducted by the com mission and a grand Jury, he was vin dicated. Calls It Fine Institution. In discussing things in general in reference to the almshouse, Commis sioner Smith said: The F uiton county almshouse rep resents an investment of $150,000, and. I think, is one of the finest institutions of its kind in the South. As a member of the board of commissioners, I can say that there isn’t a chance for us to let things get into a tangle out there. “As chairman of the committee that has the place in charge, I have been a continual visitor at the institutions. 1 have driven out there time and time again without warning of my coming, and gone over the place. While I am willing to admit that, like any state or county institution, there Is always a multitude of improvements which might be made, this talk that inmates are mistreated Is rubbish.” PROSECUTOR BEGINS FIGHT TO WIPE OUT CHICAGO’S “LEVEE” CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—Many prominent Chicagoans are to be arrested in con nection with State’s Attorney Way man's newest crusade to wipe out the segregated district. If he carries cyit his announced plan to prosecute owners of buildings occupied by resorts, i’e de clared he would Issue 1,000 warrants in the crusade. Os these, 100 have been Issued and 25 alleged dive-keepers have been arrested. Wayman’s plans have struck terror into the hearts of the habitues of the levee district and a general exodus fol lowed the arrests. That there is to be no cessation of the war which he has started was declared by the prosecutor. "I will go as far as the courts will go,” he said, "and the courts. I have no doubt, will go as far as the public will sustain them.” At the same time the state was ac tive, the Federal government started what was supposed to be a nation wide plan to tight against white slav ery. Government agents arrested seven ants subpenaed three others to appear in New York and testify. The seven were sent to New York. syth on Monday night. October 7.
