CAh'DLER CLOSES
CLUBSWM
Acting Mayor Will Issue Order
Despite Resistance of Locker
Organization Members.
With a number of councilmen and
lawyers fighting to delay the closing of
the four outlawed locker clubs. Acting
Mayor John S. Candler has announced
that he will approve the closing order
pf council tomorrow and that the clubs
will be immediately closed.
The R. M. Rose Company, a whole
sale whisky house of Chattanooga, has
filed a suit against the Moose club, de
claring it to be mismanaged, and ask
ing for the appointment of a receiver.
In view of this.new evidence, it is ex
pected that the police committee will
recommend that this club be closed also,
for ft is one of a number of clubs the
committee has not yet made a report
on.
All Report Not Followed.
It lias developed that the police com
mittee did not recommend that all the
clubs be closed which Police Chief
Beavers recommended be closed. Coun
cilman Claude Mason, who fought the
committee’s report, said he thought all
the chief’s recommendations should
have been followed or ail should have
been ignored.
Chief Beavers recommended that the
Owls, the T. M. A., the Metropolitan, the
Theatrical, the Bees. Knights «f thi
Mystic Ark, the Georgia Athletic and
the Southern clubs be closed. The po
lice committee recommended and the
council ordered closed only the Knights
of the Mystic Ark. Bees, Southern and
Georgia Athletic clubs. Aiderman J. B.
Everett is secretary of the Metropoli
tan club.
The attorneys for these clubs ordered
closed—Jackson fr Gober. Hill &
Wright, and Morris. Mack and Lou Field
—are preparing to file suits for injunc
tions against the cltj' to prevent the
closing of the clubs.
More Authority Obtained
All these clubs now have injunctions
against the city because the council re
fused to grant them permits to open.
The supreme court has been asked to
rule on these injunctions, but has not
yet done so. Meanwhile the city has
obtained additional authority from the
legislature, which permits council to
arbitrarily close any locker club. And
with this authority, Acting Mayor Can
dler ha” announced that council’s order
be Immediately enforced. City Attorney
Mayson has advised that the order be
delayed until the court’s decision.
There will be another fight in coun
cil, however, If the police committee
recommends the closing of any more
clubs. Councilman Aldine Chambers in
sists that the committee should make
public the evidence upon which it rec
ommends the closing of any club. He
is backed by a strong minority in an
effort to save the clubs. Besides a
number of clubs which have not been
investigated, the police committee has
held up the applications of the Press
and Central clubs.

M’NAUGHTON DOES
NOT THINK HE WILL
BE HANGED NOV. 22
SAVANNAH, k GA.. Oi l. 23.—Sen
tenced to be hanged on November 22
for the murder of Fred Flanders three
years ago. Dr. W. J. McNaughton has
returned from Swainsboro, cheerful and
confident, that he will not hang. Ac
cording to Sheriff T. A. Fields, of Em
anuel county, who accompanied the
condemned man back to Savannah,
where he will be confined in the Chat
ham county jail until the date set for
the execution, Dr. McNaughton laughed
at the sentence pronounced by the
judge of the superior court of Emanuel
county at Swainsboro.
Governor Brown is said to have prac
tically announced that Dr. McNaughton
shall not hang until Mrs. Mattie Flan
ders. the wife of the man said to have
been murdered, and jointly indicted
with Dr. McNaughton, has also been
given a trial. According to Sheriff
Fields. Mrs. Flanders has been prom
ised another postponement until the
term of the court succeeding the one
now in session. She is said, however,
to desire an immediate trial. Her case
is scheduled for hearing next week.
MAN CONFESSES HE
KILLED WIFE WHILE
IN DRUNKEN RAGE
BRIDGEPORT. CONN.. Oct. 28.
Mystery surrounding the murder of a.
young woman after she had been taken
from her home in this city into the
country near Stratford in an automo
bile was partially cleared today when
Joseph Bunonona, one of the four men
arrested shortly afteh the woman had
been shot to death, confessed that lie
had killed her. Bunonona declared that
the slain woman was his wife and that
he killed her while in a drunken rage.
The first theory of the police was
that the young woman, who was known
variously as Rost Bunnis and Rose
White, had been killed to prevent her
revealing the inner workings of a white
slave system having headquarters in
Chicago and New York and extending
all over the country, and they are still
working on this theory, despite the
prisoner's confession. They say that
she came here recently from Chicago
and that there is a possibility that site
was followed here for the purpose of
assassination.
MAIL CLERK ORATOR
ROUTS PROSECUTORS
WITH HIS ORATION
The silver tongue and oratorical man
ners of M hitfield R. Boyd, once a. mail
clerk on the Atlanta. Birmingham and
Atlantic railway, threaten to demoral
ize the prosecuting attorneys in the
United States court. For the third
time the same negro is being tried for
stealing from registered packages.
Twice the government prosecutors
have finished their case and rested, se
cure in the knowledge that a perfect
case had been made against the negro.
Twice he has risen and caused an ac
quittal with his eloquence.
Boyd is unruffled today, apparently
confident that no matter what the jury
may do' beforehand his own limpid
streams of touching words will change
their hearts to putty and cause them to
believe him innocent.

Colonel, at Home. Loses Fret

Surprising Rapidity.
OYSTER BAY. N. Y.. Oct. 23.—Coto
nei Roosevelt show ed so great improve
ment today that his personal physician.
Dr. Scurry L. Terrell, expressed the
opinion that the Progressive candidate
would be able to take a leading part in
the wind-up of the campaign.
After a nine-hour sleep, the colonel
awoke shortly after 7 o’clock this mot n
ing and asked for a hearty breakfast.
"I feel great” announced the ex
president. "I know I’ll get along fine,
now that I am home.”
The fretfulness that characterized
the colonel's stay in Metcy hospital fol
lowing his being shot by John Schrank
has not asserted itself during the con
finement at home.
The Progressive leader feels now that
patience and absolute rest and quirt
are what he needs.
The morning papers were brought to
him soon after breakfast and he pe
rused them eagerly. Then ho read a
little from his favorite book. “Hak
lient’s Voyages." and summoned his
secretary for the purpose of dictating
part of the speech he is to deliver at
Madison Square Garden on October 30.
but this was broken into by doctors
when they came to make their exami
nation.
No Visitors Permitted.
Announcement was made at Saga
more Hill today that no one other than
the colonel’s doctors, his nurses ami
the family would be admitted to the

decision came after the colonel and
Mrs. Roosevelt talked the matter over.
He was for receiving the reporters, or
at least having bulletins as to his con

Roosevelt overruled him. and all re

I.A CRUSSE. (5 18.. Oct. 3t>. Senator
Robert M. LaFoliette in a speech here
last night declared that he would not
vote for Roosevelt, Taft or Wilson. He
compared the suppression of competition
through the growth of trusts to a huge

great skill.
"It is no Job for a 'Bull Moose.' ' said
Senator LaFoliette. ‘ and, judging by what
has hapijened in the last four years, it
doesn’t seem to be a job for an amiable,
easy-going man. A fellow over in New
Jersey has been running a hospital with
pretty good success, but has not treated
cancer.

EGGS PROMISE TO
GO TO 50 GENTS
PER DOZEN
Moulting Season Causes Hens
to Stop Laying. Resulting in
Noticeable Shortage.
Unless Atlanta hens start lay ing more
very- soon, the price of eggs promises
i to go as high as 50 cents a dozen, where
iit was for short, time during the past
spring. Fresh country eggs are non
bringing 2.5 and 2ri cents wholesale, ae.
cording to grade, and 32 to 35 cents re
tail. The situation is daily growing
mote serious, inasmuch as most hens
arc non in the moulting stale and are
lay ing practically no eggs.
"I have 50 hens and have trouble act
ing one egg from them dally," de
clared a local commission merchant
this afternoon, and a retail grocer as
j serted that he had 100 and averaged
i two o' three eggs.
Poultry Shortage. Too.
The same short market exists in freed
poultry. Dressed hens are scarce and
the c< i-imisi'ion houses are getting 18
to 20 cents a pound, and the retail gro
<■«•.- are getting 22 1-2 to 25 cents, the
I- •■•!• price being so the larger fowls
< '<’d storage eggs ate said to be sell
ing for 23 to 25 cents a dozen, and 7,000
;ascs to be stored in the only place of
■ it,.- kind in Atlanta, the Atlantic Ice
Imd Coal Corporation cold storage
p’ant. There are 360 eggs to a case,
and the total in the above eases is
therefore 2,520.0n0 eggs. A dealer de
! dared that rhould these eggs be thrust
I suddenly upon the ma ke; the price of
eggs would drop perceptibly, but that
th-, drop would be only temporary.
Scarcity of dens.
Po duymen say there is a great
jshor’age of lay ing hens throughout the
' entire country. The wet spring was
I very bad fm the production of young
cl lek ns. Pullets for winter layers are
very >•.•arce. and poultrymen who have
sought to buy them to stock their
I plants have had to pay very high prices
| for them.
The crop of old hens retained for fur
ther egg production has been disap
pointing. Hens were late in moulting,
and the scraggly feathered flocks have
refused to resume their laying. Poul
trymen are busily engaged tn feeding
their hens and pullets ground bone and
othe egg-producing nostrums. but
their efforts have met with little suc
cess.
Eggs are selling in some of the East
ern markets nt 55 and 60 cents a dozen
and egg dealers predict that Eastern
prices will soon go to 75 and 80 cents.
Poultrymen Losing Money.
That is about the limit expected by
egg producers, as people will refuse to
pay a higher ptice. Poultrymen declare
they arc losing money, even at present
high prices, for it takes now on an
average of ten hens to produce one egg
a day.
With ail kinds of chicken feed selling
at 2 cents to 2 1-2 cents a pound, to say
nothing of the trouble of earing for the
flocks, producers say there is little
profit coining their way. A little later
I in tlic season when the hens have re
' cov red from their moult, and the short
| crop of pullets begin laying, the poul
trymen expect a little better profits.

ATLANTA U. S. PRISON
WARDENS GO UNARMED
AMONG 900 PRISONERS
Revolutionary changes in the meth
ods of treating prisoners inaugurated
at the Federal penitentiary are attract
ing widespread attention today. They
have been introduced to make the big
prison a great reform institution in
stead of a vast grave for blighted lives.
IVarden W. H. Moyer and Deputy
Warden W. C. Hawk, men whose, sym
pathy with the 900 prisoners has ex
tended far beyond the official capacity,
have been quietly working on prison
reform and following are some of the
things that are seen in vogue today
that were undreamed of a few years
ago:
Abandonment of the practice of shav
ing heads of prisoners, giving the "si
lence" at table, and the “face-to-the
wall’’ treatment on the arrival of visi
tors: abolition of stripes (after the
present supply of suits is exhausted)
and the humiliating "lock step,” In
troduction of baseball and other games
for full holiday Saturday, setting-up
exercises Saturday mornings and an
hour of exercise each day; smoking
privilege extended and a neyyspaper
started: bathing twice a week instead
of once; separation of the races at
meals: great improvement In the tuber
culosis camp and more attention to the
sick in general; more amusements for
the prisoners, such as dramatic per
formances by traveling talent; greater
encouragement of invention, art. music,
and other handiwork of the prisoners.
New Clothing Provided.
These are but a few- of the things
that the government’s colony enjoy at
the Federal prison. Every thing possi
ble is done to make the men forget
their past lives and to turn them out
at the expiration of their sentences re
formed citizens worthy of the privi
leges of society. To this end the gov
ernment does another thing. It pro
vides each prisoner on leaving the in
stitution with a new outfit of clothing, a
railroad ticket home and a new flve
dollar bill. If he doesn’t take up life
anew and turn his face to the sunshine,
then the government does not hold It
self at fault.
In fact, the life of the prisoners is so
nearly ideal that he visitor Invariably
comments that nine-tenths of the In
mates are better off than they would
ever have been outside. For Instance,
the man of talent need only apply him
self to have the most pleasant sort of
time.
If he is a musician, he can get a
"life berth" in the orchestra, and be
obliged to do no other service; or If he
happens to be an artist and can make
himself useful with brush or pen, he
is given that opportunity: or If he Is of
an inventive turn, he only has to ask
for materials to work with that he may
EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
HALTS MARRIAGE OF
MACON YOUNG FOLK
MACON, GA., Oct. 23.—An earth
quake shock at 8:14 o’clock last night
was felt throughout Bibb county. It
caused much uneasiness, but no alarm.
In this city on North Highlands, the
highest part of Macon, the tremor was
most perceptible. Window panes were
broken and clocks fell from the man
tels. The court house clock was dam
aged by the shaking and this morning
was fifteen minutes behind time.
The wedding of Miss Minnie Ham
mock and Ray A. Stable was in prog
ress at the home of Rev. T. F. Callaway,
1541 Second street, and much excite
ment was caused among the guests, es
pecially’ when a. large vase fell from a
table and smashed on the floor. The
minister was in the middle of the cere
mony. w hich was begun over when the
confusion was subsided.
< 'ouncil meeting had just concluded
when the shock was felt, and Bridges
Smith, city clerk, facetiously wrote his
minutes: “Upon the motion of the city
hall, council adjourned.”
Reports frotn this section of the state
are that the shock was generally felt
but that no damage was done.
WHITE ROCK LAYS 260
EGGS IN ELEVEN MONTHS
MOUNTAIN GROVE. MO.. Oct. 28.
A year’s national egg laying contest
which began here November 1, 1911,
has many remarkable scores in pros
pect, A White Plymouth Rock hen ha,s
a credit of 260 eggs in eleven months.
The nearest rival, a, barred Plymouth
Rock, has a record of 239 eggs. Twenty
nine hens have laid more than 200 eggs
each in eleven months.
ESCAPED GRIZZLY FOUND
GUARDING PICKANINNY
MEMPHIS. TENN., Oct. 23.—Ten
armed men who had been tracing a
big grizzly bear that escaped from the
zoo Monday evening today found her
hidden under a brush heap in Wolf riv
er bottoms, protecting a negro baby. It
was later discovered that the bear had
stolen the baby from a negro cabin, and
its mother ran away in fright.

carry out the designs that he has
planned in his mind.
Each Man Has Work.
Tlte Federal prison business works
on the principle of the proverbial great
wheel and its so many cogs. Each
man has a niche to fill and the work
of the officials is to see that he fills It
and fits it. An Interesting principle of
economics comes in here and the war
den and his deputy take full advantage
of it. Convict No. 2888 (they’ don’t go
by names, by the way) was found good
for nothing in particular until he start
ed sketching. He had never tried it
before, but his aptitude was such that
he has now completed a aeries of six
scenes after the Belasco theater, New
York. He has had his handiwork placed
prominently in the prison’s auditorium,
where its plays are presented.
Then the officials found a man who
was good for nothing In particular but
to make soap. A little $25 shack was
built outside and Convict 3689 now,
makes all the soap used in the plac<».
and effects a saving oT about $5 a weak
on that item.
Bankers Study Finance.
Then several Inventors are busy on
things the world may hear about la,ter;
former bank officials are busy studying
out problems of economics and finance;
merchants are plying their trade inside
as handlers of supplies; skilled work
men are making tools for the use of the
government; stone cutters are fashion
ing queer shapes out of Stone Mountain
granite for use in the great adminis
tration and “cell block" addition to tile
Federal property; carpenters are hew
ing' useful things out of wood that the
government buys as raw material;
molders a.nd blacksmiths and divers
other personages representing nearly’
every profession and business are busy
with their assigned and favorite task*.
Warden* Are Unarmed.
One thing that the visitor notices par
ticularly is the respect that the pris
oners have for the warden and the
deputy warden. Told that the governor
of Wyoming, a prison reformer, once
said he was not afraid to go entirely
unarmed among the most desperate of
his state's prisoners. Deputy Warden
Hawk declared that neither he nor
Warden Moyer ever cairled a. g-un and
that their life-term prisoners, some of
them murderers, were the most peace
able of all the prisoners.
Former inmates of the local prison
often write back their appreciation of
good treatment received, and one of
them expressed a unique sentiment re
cently when he said; "The prisoners
behind the bars are not there because
they should be separated from the pub
lic, but because they have been appre
hended. There are two great divisions
of the people, the caught and the un
caught. Men in prisons are In the
former class and men who are not are in
the latter."
