Scaffold Ready for
Cumming Hangings
b l AIMING. GA., Oct. 24.—Ordinary
H. V. Jones, of Forsyth county, today
telephoned Governor Joseph 11. Brown,
asking that troops be sent here with
the two negroes who are to be hangeu
tomorrow. He declared that feeling is
so intense officials of the county feared
attempts would be made to lynch the
negroes before they could be legally ex
ecuted. The ordinary sent this message
at the request of Sheriff W. W. Reid,
who is now en route to Atlanta to bring
the prisoners back to Cumming. He is
making the trip by automobile through
the country.
The Forsyth county jail being too
small to accommodate a scaffold, the
structure has been erected in a field
about one-half mile from the court
house. A fifteen-foot fence, inclosing a
plot of ground about 30 feet square,
has been erected around the scaffold.
The law requires that legal executions
be conducted privately, but the local
officers fear that the fence might be
demolished and the negroes lynched
unless military protection be provided.
A large crowd is expected in Cum
ming- tomorrow. There has not been a
legal execution In Forsyth county in 51
years, and the double hanging of to
morrow has created a great deal of ex
citement throughout the county.
ILLINOIS CENTRAL’S .
PRESIDENT PREDICTS
WILSON WILL WIN
Although the political wiseacres have
been loudly proclaiming that (Jolonel
Roosevelt would carry Illinois November
5, President C. H. of th*
Illinois Central, which controls the Cen
tral of Georgia, declared In Atlanta that
the Jersey governor would be an easy
winner.
Mr. Markham made this statement at
the Terminal station, asserting that Wil
son had developed remarkable and unex
pected strength. He also declared that
from observations made in several parts
of the country he is convinced that busi
ness has secured a "divorce” from poli
tics.
John D. Little, attorney of the railroad
companies, entertained Mr. Markham and
W. A. Winburn, of Savannah and the Cen
tral, at golf on the East Lake course and
at dinner at hjs home in the evening,
where they were joined by Colonel A. R.
Lawton, of Savannah. Mr. Markham
came in from Macon and left at 8:50 last
night.

PINK VOTE PLAN
SEEMSDOOMED
democratic Committee Sees
Too Much Danger Ahead in
Anti-Bolting Scheme.
The state Democratic executive com
mittee may abandon its plan to require
all voters for Wilson and Marshall elec
tors to cast a “pink'' ticket in the No
vember presidential election.
It has been pointed out that to do
this would amount to intimidation and
duress, and that it might serve to in
validate the entire election, in the event
the point were raised in legal protest,-
The state committee frankly says
that its idea is to catch “bolters." in
order that they may be barred from fu
ture Democratic primaries. Lawyers
hold that this anTounts to a threat,
however, and plainly conflicts with both
the state and Federal statutes.
Moreover, there seems to be a. grow
ing resentipent throughout the state
against that which is conceived to be
an attempt upon the part of the com
mittee to poke its nose too far into the
ballot on November—that #ren if a
man did wish to vote for somebody
other than Wilson and Marshall elec
tors, he should be permitted to do so
without necessarily putting the state
committee on notice in the matter.
The idea of the “pink” ticket was
conceived, of course, in a genuine desire
to protect the Democratic party, but the
impression iias grown into practically a
conviction in many minds that the pres
idential election is not precisely the fit
and proper place for that protection to
be sought, and particularly through a
scheme that might endanger thy
electoral vote of the state.
DOOMED MAN IS SHOT

The strike arbitrators considering the
recent Georgia walk-out were in no
apparent hurry today to take up their
arbitration duties. Charles A. Wicker

West Point, left on his second trip to
New York within a wgi-k today and is
not expected to return until Monday. In
the meantime F. A. Eurgess, the second
arbitrator and an official of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, is
wintering at the Piedmont. Mr. Bur
gest said this afternoon that there was
nothing new in the situation, and that
he did not even have an appointment
with Mr. Wickersham.
More than five days have passed since
the arbitration board was supposed to
have begun work, and it is understood
that thi rules of the Erdman arbitra
tion act have been set aside to allow
more time.

CONGO BARONESS
TO MARRY AGAIN
FARIS. Oct. 24.—According to lite
•'.‘Gil Blas,” the Baroness Vaughan, the
morganatic wife of the late King Leo
pold of Belgian, will ■shortly be mar
ried to a well known Parisian.
The Baroness Vaughan was Caroline
Delacroix, the Roumanian girl with the
violet eyes who attracted the attention
of King I -eopold during one of his visits
of pleasure in Paris, and became his
morganatic wife.
After theb. morganatic marriage,
which, though unrecognized by the law
of Belgium, had the blessing of the
church, the king created her Baroness
Vaughan, and endowed her with the
riche.- of tin blood-stained Congo Free
State.
He created a new peerage for that
rubber inferno and in order to avoid
causing scandal by creating her a
baroness of Belgium, he gave he: a
peerage in the Congo.
Tiic next members of the nobility of
Congo were the baroness’ two sons, one
of whom was created Due de Terureren
and the other Comte de Ravenstein.
It was said that, the king settled
$6,000,000 out of the profits of his Congo
domains on.Xhese children.
Some time after Leopold's death the
Baroness Vaughan married M. Amem
iel Dtirieux, a former lieutenant in the
French army, who had acted for many
years as the steward of her estates. The
bridegroom was 47. and the bride said
she was 27.
Six months later she obtained a c
vorce from her new husband.
