4 rfOTEO CHEMISTS HERE TALK ONLY OF ROOSEVELT Shooting Astounds the Famous Scientists—Marvel at Prog ress of South and Atlanta. A big man with bushy black windows and thick eyeglasses, held up an extra Just off the press, while round him in the lobby of the Piedmont hotel today a score or more men in odd attire jos tled each other and shouted in guttural tones. The extra announced the shoot ing of Theodore Roosevelt in Milwau kee, and the gesticulating throng were Germans, shocked beyond measure that such a thing could occur. They talked of nothing else for the first half-hour at breakfast. "Think what that in Germany would mean,” said one. picking his English words carefully. It I can not con ceive." They were visitors, were a part of a trainload of 50 tourists who left New York a month ago and have swung clear round the continent from the Pa cific coast to the gulf and up through Birmingham to Atlanta. They are the tourist party of the International Con gress of Applied Chemistry, which met in New York early in September. There were a hundred who began the tour, hut half of them have dropped off And returned to their homes, or pur. sued special journeys to some field In which they were especially interested. Foremost Chemists Here. Such a flood of gutturals and con sonants was never heard before when the visitors found the service a bit slow, for they were hungry. The man agement of the Piedmont had not been told of their coming, and it is no easy matter to serve 50 extra breakfasts on a moment's notice. But all were fed at last and everybody was in much better humor after that. The scene in the rotunda was notable for clothes and whiskers. There were tourist outfits ranging from black som breros to dinky little caps, from big plaids and field glasses to frock coats and high hats. And the German sen tences that began at the dining room door, wrapped twice around the lobby and emptied the verb on the sidewalk, made one fearful of tripping up and be ing choked in a verbal labyrinth. Dr. S. F. Stollberg. secretary of the German consulate in Atlanta, was ear ly on the ground to greet his com patriots. Such a taking off of hats and a bowing! The German is not satis fied with a handshake. He places his hand squarely on ton of his alpine lid. raises it at least a foot, puts his heels together after the military fashion and bends his body from the waist like the •first motion in the setting up exercises. cAfter that he may shake hands, but not before. South Astounds Them. Among the group of visitors are the foremost minds in the whole chemlra.', world. Germany excels in no science more than In chemistry and the dele gates to the congress are world-fa mous authorities on various special ties. In the South they are particular ly interested In vegetable oils and the principal object of their visit was to see the plant of the Southern cotton oil mills. Dr. David P. Day, of Washington, Is in charge of the party He is head of’ the department of petroleum and natu ral gas of the mineral resources divi sion of the geological survey of the United States government, but ho doesn't put all that on the hotel regis ter. He Is remembered by Atlantans ns the expert in charge of a govern ment exhibit at the Atlanta exposition of 1895. "The visitors are astounded with the resources of the South, said Dr. Day.] "They believe it the richest field for chemical manufacture in the world. They are amazed at the resources loft undeveloped. You have climate, min erals. everything." To See Big Plants. The visitors are guests in Atlanta of the Georgia section of the Ameri can Chemical society and the Cham ber of Commerce. President H M Dumas and Secretary J. S. Brogdon met the partv at breakfast, and Mr. Brogdon's colie,ge German sounded al most as fizzy as the real thing and got over the plate with marked success. Other members of the society, some of them expert chemists from the various manufactories and laboratories, were in the reception comtnittet Dr. S. VV. McCallie. state geologist, helped to greet the tourists, and his handbook on the mineral resources of Georgia was distributed in the same envelope with the chamber's monograph on At lanta. a program booklet and cards to the various clubs. "Ein trink," explained the giver. That must have meant a drink, for the visitor bowed and smiled broadly and immediately asked "where?" Colonel W. L. Peel acted as chair man of the entertainment committee, and with Secretary Walter G. Cooper, of the Chamber of Comtneiee, helped make the tourists feel at home.
