' When soldiers are called upon by the civil authorities it is to be assumed that it is soldiers with soldiers' weap ons that are needed. These citizens met their death by refusing to obey the lawful orders of the guard to halt, and after repeated warnings not to attempt to pass the lines had been given them by civilians. "Law and order in this common wealth must be maintained "Captain Jowitt will be released from prve«- and restored to duty. JOSEPH M.

AT THE THEATERS BILL OF HEADLINERS IS BOOKED AT THE GRAND There is an Inviting combination of vaudeville talent at the Grand for this week, and that the daily matinee and eevning audiences will practically test the holding capacity of the big theater is about assured. Attendance last week ran over the best figures the theater has yet established, and this week, with a bill of exceptional quality, it looks as if all records are to be smashed. One of the headline features is Lilian Herlein, the beautiful musical comedy star, who was the feature of “The Rose of Algeria." and whose successes in "The Never Homes" helped that new show im mensely. In vaudeville. Miss Herlein has scored a triumph. Another headliner is W. L. \hingdon and company, presenting the thrilling human interest sketch. “Hon or Is Satisfied.” This is another of the big feature acts that have been promised, and it will be a drawing card. Will Dillon, the man who has written so many successful song’ hits, will be a sea ture, and his songs and parodies will have much to do with the drawing power of the bill, while it may be depended upon that George Roland and company, in “Fix ing the Furnace," will be one of tike big laughing hits of the season. Archie Onri and company In acrobatic antics, and Adler and Arline. in song and dance, are on the bill. Another feature will be the Musical Gordon Highlanders, a combina tion of Scotch people that will add to the interest the bill possesses. There are daily matinee perfromances at the Grand at bargain prices, and they are growing more and more popular every day EMMA BUNTING TO PLAY “LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY” Little Emma Bunting and “Little Lord Fauntleroy” is a strong combination to offer theatergoers. The play has not been seen in Atlanta for more than ten years, and was never offered by a more quali fied organization than Miss Bunting and her players. It is a beautiful story, and there is much to the play that is modern, for it deals with a situation that has been quite alive for some time. Miss Bunting has proven herself to be a star of consequence. During her suTn mer time engagements she played a se ries of light summer plays, and made good, and since she has started the win ter season she has produced with suc cess plays that are usually offered by or ganizations inferior to her company and at prices three times the Forsyth scale. It has been demonstrated that the open ing night of a Bunting performance is as clever and as smooth as any other night. There has been a great advance sale for the week, especially for the Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday matinee perform ances. “MADAME X" WILL PLAY THE LYRIC THIS WEEK Patrons of the Lyric will have an op portunity of witnessing a new “Madame X" in the person of Eugenie Blair, when the attraction comes to the Lyric tonight for an engagement of one week with mat inees Tuesday.

An excellent company supports Miss Blair Tim production is identical with that seen at high prices last season.

The headliner Is Dick Thompson A- Company, featuring the Irish singing comedian: Dick Thompson ami Maud Vinton, ethers on the bill will be Austin & Garvin, singers and dancers, Cleary & Tracy, singers and talkers, and Raphael Gualano, the Italian accordion soloist BANK CHARTER SOUGHT.

This became knojvn today when the , third week's session began. The suspicious of a man be lieved to be a “jury fixer” about the court have been worrying District At torney Whitman. Detectives have for several days been keeping close watch on a man formerly well known about the courts. In other days he was cred •ited with taking a significant Interest in the influence that might affect pros pective jurors. The district attorney himself saw several things recently and had others reported to him of sugges tions to reach the jurors, and Immedi ately put private detectives to watch ing this man. End of Trial in Sight, This week is likely to wind up the trial and a verdict is expected early next week. Becker and his wife are ex pected to testify Wednesday. Among the rumors In circulation to day was one that William Shapiro and the four indicted gunmen would testify for Becker. Shapiro drove the murder car and is under indictment. It has been reported that Shapiro, despite his affidavit in the hands of the district attorney that he could not Iden tify any of the men in his car. Is ready to swear that Schepps and Vallon were among them. The gunmen, according to the same rumors, are eager to tes tify that they were not in the car and an alibi will be their defense in their own trial. It will materially help their case if they can prove that the state witnesses were in the car. Becker seemed to have been improved by his day of rest and looked fresher and in better spirits today than when court adjourned Saturday afternoon. He leaned forward expectantly when Jo seph B. Shepard, a former member of his “strong arm" squad, was recalled for cross-examination by Assistant Dis trict Attorney Frank Moss. Indicted Policeman Testifies, James W. White, another former member of the eßeker “strong arm” squad and a medal man in the police department, followed Shepard. White is one of the policemen under indict ment for perjury in the elleged "frame up" of "Big Jack” Zelig. the gang leader who was recently assasjnated. White testified to the Rosenthal raid, which was made April I.lth last. He took part in it anil corroborated Shep ard's story. White flatly denied the story of James Hallen. the convict who testified that he overheard Becker and White talking together in the Tombs when the latter called to see his former chief in August, and that Becker had said, "Sit tight, Jimmy, they have only the word of a crook and when Hie excitement has died out they will give me a pen sion for killing that crook Rosen thal." White swore Becker had never made such a statement to him. <5. i'. Steinert, another former mem ber of Becker's strong arm squad, and who is under indictment with White in connection with the alleged frame up of Zelig, next took the stand Steinert was a member of the squad which raided Rosenthal's place last April, and ! lie also contradicted the testimony of Sam Schepps regarding a conversation bet wor n Becker and Rosenthal on the night of the raid, but he was largely discredited w hen’ cross-examined. TURKS BESIEGED imifflPLE Probable Deciding Conflict of Balkan War, Between 450,- 000 Troops, Imminent. VIENNA, Oct. 21. —Adrianople, the biggest and most important city in Eu ropean Turkey, was placed under siege by the Bulgarian army today. In three colmuns the Bulgarian army moved upon Adrianople from the north, driving back the Turks from the outer works. The battle of Adrianople, which is expected to be one of the deciding con tlicts of the Balkan war. is looked for within a few days. Dispatches from the front indicated that the Turks would not passively submit to being besieged in their stronghold, but would move out and give battle to the Bul garian army before It was reinforced. Heavy fighting has been going on north and around Adrianople for 48 hours. Fighting with great bravery, the Bulgarians carried three hills be fore the city which command important points. One of these villages, Maikotch, was set on tire by the Turks before they retreated. Fleeing Turks Spike Cannon. The Turks spiked many of their can non before retreating from the outer works, so that they were useless when the Bulgarians came up and took pos session of them. Turkish block houses were dismantled and all possible pre cautions taken to lessen the value of the works which fell into the Bulga rians' hands. At some points, however, the advance of Czar Ferdinand's army was so rapid that ammunition and pro visions could not be destroyed and these were captured by tlie Bulgarians. Czar Ferdinand is directing tlie oper ations of his army in person. He has moved ills headquarters further to the front and will personally direct the siege of Adrianople. The way to Adrianople was opened when tlie Bulgarians captured Musta plta Pacha, a small town to the north west of Adrianople, which was consid ered the key to the bigger city. it is estimated that there are about 250,000 men in the Bulgarian army be fore Adrianople. There are less than 200,000 Turks tn the city, and In the positions of still other Turks outside the citadel. Greeks Storm Turks at Olympus ATHENS, GREECE, Oct. 21.—Crown Prince Constantine's victorious Greek army, which defeated the Turks at Elassona at the foot of Mount Olym ■ pus. today stormed the Turkish fortress at Sarandaporo Pass. The Turkish army of 7.000 men, which was defeated and put to flight after a battle at Elassona, retreated to Sarandoporo Pass, where it joined forces with the Turkish battalion sta tioned there. in the attack upon tlie pass the Greeks used the two batteries of ar tillery captured from the enemy at Elassona as well as their own cannon.

Vaughn. a Baptist preacher and former superintendent of the Odd Fel lows Orphan home in Greenville, was placed on trial here today, charged with assaulting a fourteen-year-old girl, who was an inmate of the home, and of per forming a criminal operation. This is said to be but one of several cases against Vaughn along the same line. Conviction wifi probably mean electro cution. The Odd Fellows of this state are pushing the case and are aiding the prosecution. Vaughn, who is from a prominent family and very wealthy, broke jail shortly after his arrest and went to Baltimore, where he was captured. The trial furnishes the biggest sensation in this state in recent years in the annals of crime. PEDDLERS FINED SIOO EACH.

Entries have closed for the ninth an nual show of the Georgia Poultry asso ciation. which will be thrown open at the Auditorium-Armory next Monday with 2,500 of America’s best birds on exhibition. Last year the Georgia Poultry asso ciation had a big and a successful show. But it was lacking in birds from other sections of the country. This year con ditions are changed. The pick of the Southern birds will be there, and in ad dition there will be birds from all parts of the United States, from the Atlantic coast states to tile Rockies and from Maine to Florida. The birds will be cooped this year. »• usual. In the handsome coops owned by the association, and wifi be attractively displayed in the South's greatest expo sition building. Owing to the vast amount of space needed for displaying a large number of birds there have been shows at the Auditorium which were so wretchedly crowded that there was no comfort or pleasure to the spectators in inspecting the birds. This year the Georgia Poultry association has just tile right number of birds for successful display in the available space. After Quality Only. No attempt has been made this year to secure a vast showing of birds. It lias been demonstrated that attempts to do this have always resulted In the extiibiting of a lot of mediocre stuff birds that would not win ribbons at a liill county fair. The Georgia Poultry association has always made it a point to go out after quality exclusively and to discourage the entering of stock which was not worthy of exhibition in a metropolitan show This year they have carried out this principle and will have the greatest showing of high-class birds that the South has ever known The judges of the show wdll be F. J. Marshall, W. C. Pierce and F. H. Shel labarger. None are better known in the country and their presence will in sure fair and competent judging. This has not always been the case In South ern shows, but the Georgia Poultry as sociation has established an enviable record for well judged exhibitions and lias probably had less friction over this troublesome part of the work than any other large association in the South. The prizes offered this year are more valuable than ever before and the com petition for them will be keener that ever. Spectators at the coming show will have an opportunity of viewing the ver. highest class of birds and a wide range of varieties, in this respect the exhi bition will’be both educational and en tertaining.
