SUPERINTENDENT ISSUES
ULTIMATUM TO STRIKERS
Two Waver and Return, But
the Others say They Will
Insist on Concessions.
E ai-e the telephone was taken out j
sf ii« dormitory in which they live, th' ;
pn in stall of nurses at the Atlanta F
hospita'. 30 Crew street, struck this
morning and declare they will never g r
back to work again if they are not al- ,
owed a telephone and the free use of it.
Dr. Thomas H. Hancock, half owne)
of the hospital, declared that if the.- ,
did not report for duty by noon toda
they would not be allowed to report
all.
Fourteen nurses struck, Miss A.
Dunmar:, who had but two more month.-
to serve before receiving her diplont
being the leader. At 11 o clock th'.
| morning two reported for duty, but the
others declare they will never go back
They'll Take in
Washing First.
Miss Deila Cochran, one of the old; r
nurses, said:
•We'll go home and pick cotton, or
wash, o' do anything else to earn a liv
ing before we go back to work if they
do not do what we want them to.
"There is no kick about the food
just as long as they give us long
enough hours off to chew the steak
they serve us," said another.
The nurses, all of whom are really
students at the hospital, as none has
yet received a dip'oma. say that a tele
phone was supplied them in the dormi
tory for some time, but that it was re
moved. They demanded that it be re
placed and the demand was refused.
Then, they say. when they wished to
go to the corner drug store and tele
phone the superintendent would make
them count it as one of the two off days
they were allowed each month.
Didn't Have Phones
Before. Says Doctor.
“I doubt If more than two of the
fourteen had telephones in their own
tomes before they came to the hos
pital,” said Dr. Hancock In speaking of
’he strike.
The girts all signed an ultimatum
which was delivered to the superin
tendent.
The ultimatum declared that the
telephone should be replaced and the
hour for them to report at night on
their two nights off should be 12 in
stead of 11 o’clock.
They declared that Miss Maud Gull
‘ dge. the superintendent, did not teach
” anything, but instead made the
older student nurses instruct the
younger ones. Two hours in 24 was
■' i '' ' <1 them to sleep when on speial
they charged. Often one nurse
mid have to serve the patients on

(Sporting Editor of The Georgian.)
BOSTON. MASS.. Oct. 9.—Fen
way park, the new home of the
Boxton American league, was
. stormed today by a mob of 35,-
000 wild baseball fans, out to
see the Red Sox and Giants in
the second game of the world’s
series, with Collins and Mathew
son as the opposing pitchers.
As in New York, for the opening
, game, hundreds camped outside the
grounds all night, and, believe me, it
. was a regular fa.ll Now England night,
too. A fine young breeze blew off his
toric Masachusetts bay, and the camp
( els were chilled to the bone by the time
, the ticket windows opened.
Red Sox Favored
In the Betting.
The betting was 10 to 6 on the Red
Sox. and some big wagers were made
at the downtown hotels, where a great
crowd congested and talked about
• nothing but the great game.

Coroner’s Jury Unable to Solve
Mystery of Charley Tifton's
Death in Fannin County.
• ELLIJAY. GA., Oct. 9.—Charley Tip
ton. a noted moonshiner of the north
Georgia mountains, is dead. A cot-
>
oner’s jury has been unable to clear
1 up the mystery of just when and bv
> whom he was killed. The general im- •
pression here is that. Tipton, who was
known as a desperate character, was
shot to death by mountain clansmen
: vho had some hidden grievance against
3 him.
’ Tipton was famous in this section
• for his exploits as a moonshiner. He
had been frequently arrested by rev
enue officers for illicit distilling.
News of Tipton’s death was brought
here from the Bald mountain section,
in a remote part of Fannin county.
Children in that region by accident
I found his dead body on top of the
mountain. He apparently had been dead
several days. He was shot to death
while sitting on a log. there being
two bullet holes through his body. His
I coat was found lying on the log be
side the body.
Tipton was a man of unusual size and
strength. He weighed more than 300
pounds, and the rough life he led de
veloped unusual strength

POLICE 8i» TO
BACK CHIEF IN
n
The police commission will back u;>
Chief Beavers in his war on vice.
The commission last night voted
unanimously to "commend the chief 1• >r
his courage and bravery, and pledged
to him Its hearty support in the en
forcement of law." Thi- action fol
lowed a lively debate as to the n -ea
sily of any action at all by the com
mission. some of the commissioners de
claring the chief had merely done his
duty and lliai it was not essential that
the commission formally commend him
every time he does his duty
Ma'or Winn, Commissioners B. Iwe
Smith. Vernoy, Johnson, Garner and
McEeuchem all Insisted, however, that
"it is up to the commission” lo form
ally stand by the chief in a matter
like the closing of the tenderloin. On
motion of Mayor inn, the commission
went on record as backing the chief.
Commissioner Johnson created a stir
by urging that all laws be enforced and
sugg. .-ling that the police stop women
from v i-iting locker clubs
"We should enforce all laws, or wipe
i hem off of the statute books," asserted
Mr. Johnson.
Some of the i ommls“i no r- disagreed
with Mr Johnson, however, remarking
that there is no necessity of digging
up a lot "f obsolete ' blue" laws for
enfonemem such as Ihe stopping ot
trolley ears and closing of soda founts
on Sunda v.
I am certainly opposed to the eq
forcement of any blue laws," said

Notice of Court's Action.
• There'll Be No Trouble.”
"Tlmre is no probability of a sti ik ? or
other ruilroads in sympathy with tha.
on the Georgia. I will go further anr.
sny there i.- no possibility of such a
strike," said G. H. Sines, vice president
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, today. Mr. Sines is In Atlanta for
a conference, with leaders of the train
, men 'and conductor s.
I here will ho a conference here to
dn- with representatives of the na-
Itional organizations of conductors and
jl ainmen and the chairmen of all locals
, on roads running into Atlanta,” he con-
I 'ruled "When such a conference oc-
I oiii s there is always an impression ir
the public mind that a strike is con
templated. T'. nt is wrong. We don't
want strikes. They are the last resort."
No effoit was made to run passenger
or freight trains out of Atlanta today
■i> spite the Federal injunction issued by
fudge G übb yesterday restraining the
union men from Interfering with the
mails. At the postoffice, officials of the
mail service said they had not been in
formed of any intention of operating
mail trains today and were routing
their Augusta mail bv other roads, as
for the past week.
Unions Resent Action
Os Federal Officials.
I nion men resent the action of Fed
eral offi< is in serving officials of thr
unions v.ilii copies of the injunction
writ.
There has not been the shadow of
an accusation that we or any of the
union men have offered to molest a
t ain or inie'fere with Its operation,’
said Mr. Sines.
It is true that all disorder following
the strike lias been caused by oerson c
along the line of the road, friends and
relatives of the strikers, while the
union men themselves have refra’ned
from disturbance. Some of them may
have pa ticipat’d in the disorder in the
I'nion -’ation last Sunday, but this can
not be stated as a fart.
Vai Fitzpatrick, of Indianapolis, one
of the national officers of the train
men's organization, is in Atlanta with
Mr. Sines and will be present at th"
conference. Officers Murdock am
Gregg, of the two unions involved, at"
quoted as saying in Augusta that thf
conference Is called fo' the purpose of
considering "the arbitrary attitude o
the officials in the matter of the At
lanta terminal!-, the diversion of freight
and other matters of extreme impor
tance to every road in Atlanta."
Terminal Issue
Blocks Mediation.
While it is said no strike is contem
plated. it i,« known that trainmen or
other roadp resent the fact that the)
are required virtually to assist in break
ing the Georgia strike by handling
freight over their lines which have been
diverted fiom the Georgia, thereby re
lieving that system of the clamor ol
shippets Should they be ordered to gc
into tile yards of the Georgia road ano
move freights off its tracks it is prob
able they would refuse. All such freight
has been handled by the sti ikebreakin,
employees of the joint terminals for thi
past few days.
The Atlanta joint terminals, com
posed of the West Point, the Louisvill
and Nashville and the Georgia road, r*
