Soldiers Home Trustee Called
“Lothario of 74” by Veteran
Defending Her.
i
Major Thomas E. Winn's reply to
charges of Impropriety and drunken
ness brought against him as chairman
of the Investigating committee of the
hoard of t.uatces of the Soldiers Home,
Is scathingly denounced as fa se and
absurd by Mrs Mackie Clare, head
nurse at the home, In a statement is
sued today Her reply Is supported by I
a statement from H 4 Colquitt, a vet I
eran Inmate
Winn's reply is termed "a raving
He himself is declared by the accusing
wi? to be “too low down, too con
temptfble for notice of decent people”
Laugh* at Asthma Cure.
His allegation that Mrs. Clare was
under the hypnotic influence of t'olonel
Colquitt when ehe filed the charges are
scoffed. Hie statement that he took
whiskj- only as a cure for asthma is
laughed at She spiritedly reiterates
her statement that he was drunk and
attempted to approach her.
In all her charges she Is vigorously
and completely supported by Colquitt.
Tn a signed statement he defends Mrs
Clare's character and does not spare
Winn's
Here is Mrs. Care's statement in
full:
"Haying read the extraordinary rav
jrtga tn your issue of Tuesday, ascribed
to Major Thomas E. Winn. I can hardly
credit them as coming from a rnan of
■discretion
*1 preferred charges against Mr
Winn on October 16 and presented them
to 'the board of trueteea.' I regret that
these charges were not acted on
promptly I was invited to present
them to the governor, some of the trus
tees claiming that was the proper
course The charges were drunkenness
and assault.
"Every word of these charges was
supported by affidavits of reliable wit
nesses and ‘the board' must convict
Winn. Certainly any jury would.
No Soldier at Home.
"The charges that he says that he has
preferred against me are absolutely un
true No t'nlted States soldier from
MeP’o'>ou barracks has ever been
seen, so far ns I know, ‘nt the dead of
night' at the Soldiers Home; certainly
not at the hospital. No United States
soldier has ever called on me either in
the (lav or night.
"As to my being ‘hypnotized’ byany
|,t.,A it is too absurd to answer. Major*
AV’r: knows every statement against
my private character is untrue and if
he has given to your journal such
charges as you print, he is too low
down, too contemptible for notice of
decent people.
"I have served st the horn* as nurse I
for four years and have written in
dorsement of th* old vote and of the
board. Not one word of censure has
ever been given to me by any official.
Major Winn has never given me 'fa
the ly advice.' and I h»ve always treat
ed him as my duty required. No good
or wise man would try »o recklessly to
destroy the good name of a woman. I
will prove every word of the stuff
printed In The Georgian false.
"MRS MACKIE CLARE.”
Cells Winn Lothario.
The statement of Colonel Colquitt is
>in less fiery "Rest assured," says he.
"that every charge against Winn is
fully sustained by affidavits of the best
men at the Roldlsrs Home Ho is very
guilty and it is laatghable to read his
statement in your paper.
" 'Hypnotized by H. H. Colquitt-
Winn's fatherly advice,'* while strug
gling with the asthma cure. His very
statement that the lady is no saint or
angel and his anxiety to get near her
proves that whisky for asthma will
make a double-dyed ass of a young
l»tharlo of 74
"Mr. Colquitt had not seen the lady
in two weeks when Winn ‘scorned her'
and was pulled away bv the superin
tendent and put to bed drunk by the
lieutenant at the home.”
Interest in the controversy is run
ning high at the Soldiers Home and it
is said that the old veterans are taking
sides for and against the accused truj- I
tee.

American Made Commodities Cost Less Abroad
TARIFF HITS CONSUMER
Extortionate Prices Charged at
Home Because of Undue
Protection.
N’EW YORK, Oct. 23. The commit- ,
"#• on exhibit/* of the Democratic na
tlonal committee makes public a list ■
of articles of standard American
make with their retail selling price in
London and in New York.' Abram I.
El Kus. chairma.n of the committee, vent
an agent to London to purchase the ar
ticles there, and he has just returned.
The goods will be displayed at the va
rious tariff exhibits in this and other
cities.
The comparative price list shows a
startling discrepancy between prices in
London and New York on articles of
common use. Not a few of the ar
ticles cost in N<w York at least twice
the price charged in London. Every
I one costs more in New York.
"The price comparison is Instructive
beyond our expectation,” declared Mr.
Elkus. “It prove* that the high tariff
simply means extortionate, prices to
the American consumer all along the
line.”
The price for each article represents
the same size, quality and brand for
both London and New York.
The representative of the committee
also secured prices of clothing in Lon
don. Prices of articles of aiimlar size
and quality were also obtained in New
York on a most conservative basis. The
difference in cost in the two cities is
startling.
All the goods were standard Ameri
can made. The following t.able shows
the price charged for the same goods
in Ixrndon and New York:

SUH IN GALLERY
I
Listens to Impromptu Concert
Among Admirers and Is
Rewarded.
LONDON. Oct. 23. Mme. Melba has
brought back a new tenor singer with her
from her Australian tour.
She found him under strange circum
stances, as she explained in an inter
view
‘‘A crowd had assembled outside the
theater al 4 o clock in the morning, al
though there wss no performance until
8:30 in the evening." she said. ‘lt was
bitterly cold, and at 2 o'clock, when a
thousand people were waiting the gal
lery doors were opened
"I had a piano sent up to them, and
they arranged an impromptu concert to
amuse themselves
‘‘l listened to that concert —and was
reward ed.
"One singer was an exceptionally tine
tenor, and lie is now being especially
trained, and* if my opinion counts for
anything. London will hear and applaud
him. as 1 heard and applauded him under
such strange circumstances."
During a performance at Melbourne the
people in the galleries subscribed for a
huge bouquet for Mme. Melba. It was
lowered during an interval in the per
formance from the gallery to the stage
by means of a string
Asked what was the most striking
feature of her tour, Mme. Melba replied
that it was the personal sacrifices made
by many people to hear her.
"I was told of many cases where people
traveled the night through in order to
reach the theater." she said. "One case
in particular was that of an elderly
woman who traveled from Thursday Is
land to Sydney, a distance of 1.200 miles
On reaching her goal she found that all
the seats had been booked weeks ahead,
but I am glad to say I was able to find
her a seat.”

ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS
What May You Expect in the Ready=to=
Wear Department?
You may expect all the joy and pleasure that comes from
the selecting of your suit, your dress, your coat, from literally
hundreds of models.
And to what woman is that not a joy and a pleasure--to
be free to choose from stocks that allow her to select to a nicety
the very suit, coat and dress that she would have?
This applies not to any particular price, nor to several
prices—it is general: the ready-to-wear department knows but
one limitation, and that is that none but the best that any price
can buy shall enter.
Right now we might mention suits at $25, at $29.75 or $35,
coats at $12.50 and $17.50, woolen dresses at $8 75 and $11.50,
silk dresses at sls and $19.75, and truthfully pronounce them as
remarkable values, for they are all that with a vengeance, but
we would thus be minimizing the very point that all our efforts
have been bent on effecting—that the whole ready-to-wear de
partment this season brings to the women of Atlanta values
that are paramount at every price.
The belief that comes of seeing, however, is better than
that of reading.
So see.
See the results of our buyer’s recent trip to New York.
In the Suits, that have just come in—these of the cord
ed woolens, the zibelines, the soft tone mixtures, the serges, often
very plain as to trimming and very smart as to fashioning with
the novel little vest effects and the elegant cutaway; others
touched with severe black braids and others as rich as could be
with rich Oriental trimmings.
In the Coats, so full of warmth and good looks. They are
usually shorter than those you are accustomed to and smarter in
style and in materials—monotone coats in gray and tan,
these of chinchilla, others showing big plaids faintly outlined,
and others striking, bold, well-defined plaids in heavy Scotch
coatings.
In the Dresses of wool or of silk---Eponge is one of the
favorites for street wear and eponge with velvet is one of the
novelties of first importance—then there are the trim little tai
lored dresses of Bedford cord, of whipcord and of serge that are
distinctive because of the ways in which their yokes and collars
are fashioned. Among the silks charmeuse and charmeuse with
velvet dresses claim first attention and here is a splendid display
of them in shades for street and evening wear.
The ready-to-wear department has much to interest you!
