the fact that the colonel has a frac

DE LEON SAFE
IN HOSPITAL
AT SYDNEY,
AUSTRALIA
Cables to Wife That He Has
Brain Fever, But Will Re
turn Home Soon.
WANDERED OVER WORLD,
HIS HEAD IN A DAZE
Starts for San Francisco, and
Family Prepares to Welcome
Contractor in Mystery.
Moise Del eon has been found.
The v.-.>-lib'- Atlanta contractor,
missing since early August, has been
located in Sydney, Australia. A ca
b'egram to his wife, received today at
th? DeLeon home in Piedmont avenue,
brought her the tidings that he was
safe and indicated that it would be but
a question of a few weeks before he
was again at home among his family
and friends in Atlanta.
The cablegram read:
“Hospital, brain fever; will wire
condition and money from 'Frisco.
(Signed) "JIM.”
Wandered W orld,
Brain in a Daze.
“Jim,” Mrs. DeLeqn explained, is the
pet name used by her for her husband
in the family circle.
The message, v\hich to a large ex
tent cleared up the mystery which has
puzzled not only Atlanta, but search
ers the world over, was received short
ly before 9 o’clock today. Its impor
tance was at once realized by the cable
company. No time was wasted in
sending a mess nger to the DeLeon
home.
A clerk rushed to the telephone and
got Mrs. DeLeon on the wire. The mes
sage was read. Apparently she did not
grasp its full Import at first. It had to
be repeated twice before, with a cry
of joy, she rushed from the phone to
spread the news about the house.
DeLeon's friends were soon advised
of the news, and it was spread over
Atlanta In record time.
Expected Home
In Six Weeks.
Though definite advices are awaited,
it is believed that the contractor was
stricken with brain saver in Chicago,
where he had gone early in August to
start on a fishing trip of recuperation
in the Michigan woods.
With hi.s mind disordered by the fe
ver, he is thought to have wandered
West until he reached the Pacific, and
there shipped to the Antipodes. On the
other side of the earth his condition
was at last realized, and he was sent
to a hospital.
Mrs. DeLeon believes that his re
turn to Atlanta may be expected within
six weeks. The sending of the cable
gram indicates to her that her husband
will soon be able to leave the Sydney
hospital, and the mention of San Fran
cisco is taken to mean that he will take
an early steamer.
Albert DeLeon, a brother, lives In
Berkeley, Cal., near San Francisco, and
will meet him there and arrange for his
home coming.
Creditors to Meet
With Referee.
Ronald Ransom, co-receiver for the
DeLeon affairs, declared today the lo
cating of the missing contractor would
clear up many things in connection
with his affairs which have been a
mystery to the receivers.
A meeting of DeLeon's creditors has
been called for next week by Pressly
Adams, referee in the case, and at that
time it is probable that H. L. Fraser
will be appointed trustee for the cred
itors.
According to Mr. Ransom, the receiv
ers and creditors had nothing to do
with the discovery of DeLeon. “If he
returns," he said, "it will be on his own
volition.”
Moise DeLeon's disappearance was
first known in Atlanta August 24. At
that time no word had been received

Second Section of Freight Train
Ploughs Through Caboose of
First at East Point.
Conductor L. B. Holley, of the Cen
tral railway, was within three miles of
completing his run just before dawn
today and was changing his overalls to
street clothes in the caboose of freight
No. 35, coming from Macon to Atlanta.
He was just reaching for his coat when
the great engine of the second section
crashed into the caboose and Holley
hardly knew what struck him. He was
hurled 50 feet in the debris of the
caboose and the locomotive, plunging
from the track, tore far into the bank
and settled, half-buried, in the wet
earth at the bottom. Half a doV.en coal
cars behind it were piled high on each
other and demolished.
Two negroes, a fireman in the en
gine and a brakeman in the cab, were
hurt and an ambulance carried them
to the Atlanta hospital. They will re
cover. it is said. The engineer es
caped with only a bruise or two. The
wreck occurred in the Eust Point yards,
just out of Atlanta, and opposite the
Campbellfon road, at 4:16 o’clock. An
hour later there was a crowd of a
thousand persons watching the wreck
ing crew clear the tracks.
The cause of the wreck has not been
ascertained, but officials are trying to
find how the second section of No. 35
came into the East Point yards so close
on the heels of the first section. It
was reported that there were no rear
lights on the caboose, but this has not
been verified, and the lanterns them
selves are buried under tons of debris.
The conductor's watch Dad stopped at
4:16 o'clock, a silent witness as to the
exact moment of the crash.
GEORGIA AND VANDERBILT
READY FOR GREAT BATTLE
Rain and Slush Will
Only Serve to In
crease Spectacular
Quality of Duel Be
tween Capt. Hardage
and Bob McWhorter.
By FUZZY WOODRUFF.
MORE football will be crowded
into two hours at Ponce
DeLeon this afternoon than
Atlanta lovers of the pigskin sport
have seen in seasons. When Geor
gia and Vanderbilt clash on the
lime-streaked field It will be the
meeting of the best that the South
has been able to produce during
the season of 1912. And the bugs
will all be there.
Real students of footba’l will
form a large part of the throng.
Men interested in the game
from the four quarters of Dixie
have journeyed to Atlanta for
the fray, for they realize there i
is every likelihood that a sen
satlonal sort will be uncorked.
The tremendous rain of Friday
night and Saturday
morning made a

anxious for the Red and Black to
grasp the Southern championship
this early in the season by defeat
ing the almost invincible Vander
bilt, have stormed the city. They
will form the picturesque back
ground for the fray. They realize
that the odds are sternly set
against their champions, that the
machine of Dan McGugin lias never
met defeat on Southern field, but
they are by those tokens all the
more heart-set on victory.
Except for the crowd of Georgia
undergraduates, the game will lack
the brilliance in attendance of the
classic Georgia-Tech affray. There
is none of the throat-cutting, fa
natical rivalrj’ between Georgia
and Vanderbilt that exists between
the two state institutions.
Will Be Real Football.
But the football will be there,
and the crowd will be a football
crowd.
The game has a tremendous
bearing on the history of the 1912
season in the Southern Intercol
legiate Athletic association. Its
weight may be felt through the
nation, too. This year Vander
bilt, a Southern college, meets one
of the Big Four of the East.
Should Georgia win or be able
to hold Vanderbilt and the hopes of
McGugin are realized in making a
brave showing against Harvard,
the South will be permanently on
the baseball map.
Georgia Is picked as the only
team in the Southern domain ca
pable of challenging Vanderbilt's
title. Though the Old Gold anil
Black of the Tennessee university
waves a strong odds-on favorite
over the Red and Black of the
Athens institution, there are those
experts who look to see Georgia
give a surprising account of her
self in today's foray.
In weight, the teams are evenly
matched. More brawn will be on
exhibition in Ponce DeLeon than
has been seen since the Ringling
elephants paraded Peachtree. In
condition, Georgia undoubtedly has
the advantage.
Coach Cunningham has realized
the supreme importance to him of
the Vanderbilt game. His men
have been put on edge for it.
Vandy Takes No Chances.
On the other hand, Vanderbilt is
far from top form. The season is
young and McGugln's hard games
with the exception of the Georgia
combat —are all set for November.

The wily Vanderbilt coach figures
that he has too much at stake at
that period of the season to bring
his team to a fine edge in October's
third week. Vanderbilt's battle

In style of play, too, there should
be a similarity. It is a clash of
pupil and master, for Coach Cun

McGugin's school.
Then, too, the brilliancy of the
two back fields makes it practical
