Scaffold Ready for
Cumming Hangings
CUMMING, GA., Oct. 24.—Ordinary
H. A . Jones, of Forsyth county, today
telephoned Governor Joseph M. Brown,
asking that troops be sent here with
the two negroes who are to be hanged
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 Colonel
Roosevelt would carry Illinois November
5, President C. H. Markham, of ths
Illinois Central, which contrals 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
tic*.
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 his homo 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
SEEMS DOOMED
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 amounts to a threat,
however, and plainly conflicts with both
the state and Federal statutes.
Moreover, there seems to be a grow
ing resentment 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 even 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 has grown into practically a
conviction in many minds that the pres
idential election Is not precisely the tit
and proper place tor that protection to
be sought, and particularly through a
scheme that might endanger the entire
electoral vote of the state.
DOOMED MAN IS SHOT
TO DEATH BY CHOICE
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Oct. 24.
—James Riley, convicted of murder,
was shot to death today at the Utah
state prison. Under the “choice of
death” law, Riley had elected to be shot
rather than hung. He was blindfolded,
placed before a blank wall, and shot at
by a firing squad of five. Two of the
guns were loaded with blank charges.

HOKE SMITH’S NAME
SUGGESTED AS THIRD
STRIKE ARBITRATOR
The strike arbitrators considering the
recent Geoigia walk-out were in no
apparent hurry today to take up their
arbitration duties. Charles A. Wicker
sham. president of the Atlanta ana
West Point, left on his second trip to
New York within a week today and is
not expected to return until Monday. In
the meantime F. A. Purgess. the second
arbitrator and an official of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, is
wintering at the Piedmont. Mr. Bur
gess /aid 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 the rules of the Erdman arbitra
tion act have been set aside to allow
more time. , •
The names of Senator Hoke Smith
and Attorney Reuben Arnold, of At
lanta, have been mentioned in connec
tion witli the third place on the arbi
tration board, the list of prominent men
having narrowed down to these two.
Nothing definite came out of the con
ference at the Terminal station yester

CONGO BARONESS
TO MARRY ON:
PARIS. Oct. 24.—According to the 1
"Gil Blas,” the Baroness Vaughan, the)
morganatic wife of the late King Lee- I
pold of Belgian, will shortly be mar- !
ried to a well known Parisian.
The Baroness Vaughan was Caroline I
Delacroix, the Roumanian girl with the j
violet eyes who attracted the attention <
of King Leopold during one of his visits |
of pleasure in Paris, and became his i
morganatic wife.
After their morganatic marriage. I
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
riches of the blood-stained Congo Free
State.
He created a new peerage for that
rubber inferno and in order to avoid
causing scandal by creating her n
baroness of Belgium, he gave her i,
peerage in the Congo.
The next members of the nobility of I
Congo were the baroness’ two sons, onr i
of v horn was created Duo 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 these children.
Some time after Leopold’s death the
Baroness Vaughan married M, Amem
iel Durieux. a former lieutenant in the.
French army, who had acted for many
years as the steward of her estates. The
brliiegrootn was 47, and the bride said
she was 27.
Six months later she obtained a c'-
voice from her new husband.
