NEW YORK, Oct. 26. Hets of 100 to 1 were offered today among gamblers that Jack Rose, one of the state’s chief witnesses against Becker, will be as sassinated. Even money was offered that Rose will be killed ten days after he leaves jail. Ten to one that he will be killed in six months; 5 to 1 that the four gunmen will be convicted of first degree murder; 2 to 1 that Becker will not win his appeal. On the other hand, gamblers offered the same odds that Becker will not be convicted if he gets a new trial. Becker, convicted of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, will spend at least a year in the death house at Sing Sing before the execu tion of the sentence to be imposed upon him Wednesday by Judge Goff. Becker will be taken to Sing Sing immediately after sentence. He was automatically dropped from the police rolls as a result of his conviction.

President Tells Ideals of the State Federation and the Work It Is Doing. Why is a clubwoman? Mrs. H. C. White, of Athens, president of the federated women’s clubs of the state, answers the question as follows: "As president of the Georgia Federation of Women’s Clubs. I be lieve that the mission of the club woman is not to secure ’wojnan’s rights’ or suffrage, but to help womankind In evejy-day things, to fit themselves and their neighbors for their responsibilities, old and new” “Whether she will or no, .the modern woman has, of necessity, become her sister’s keeper. It may or may not add to her value as a member of her race; it may or may not add to her efficiency as a citizen; it mjiy or may not add to her in dividual happiness. All this de pends upon the spirit and the man ner in which she meets the de mands upon her and the extent to which she keeps inviolate her es sentially womanly qualities of modesty. geTitlenesu and conscien tious self-sacrifice. “But it certainly adds to her du ties and burdens. For—whatever may betide in the evolution of so ciety—woman will continue to have, as she has always bad, chief part in the preservation of the in tegrity of the fundamental unit in any social system—she must be the keeper of the home of her sis ter and her brother; she must be the keeper of the children of them both.. > “There are some who believe that organized womanhood is merely engaged in a propaganda for the securing of a larger measure of what are designated as Woman’s Rights. These may well excite Atlanta Athletes Will Go in for Equine Sport POLO CLUB IS PLANNED \tlanta men are planning something new in sports for the South—a polo club, with ponies, grounds and an or ganization which will include some of tin best known society men and horse lovers in the city. "We have been talking it over, and while our plans are still in embryo. I believe a charter for the Dixie Polo club will be applied for soon, and we shall start with a membership of about sixteen men," said one of the prime I in- vers today. He a-ked that ills name be not used, and was reticent about the proposed club, saying there were a number of reasons why publicity would be premature. A first team of eight men will b. composed of prominent lovers of out door and rugged sports, according to the men behind the movement for' the club. A tentative list includes Ed Al friend, Gus Ryan. Eugene Haynes. Jo seph Brown Connally. Bowie Martin. Winship Nunnally. Clark McMichael and R. C. Congdon. The club propost s to haVe a string of about twenty-four Montana mustangs suspicion and distrust. But—with out undervaluing the sincerity and the zeal with which some may feel called upon to wage battle in this cause, the vast majority of us, I am sure, prefer just now at least not to enlist actively for the fray. “We are content to commit to God and to our brothers the pres ervation and extension of such rights as it may seem necessary for us to possess in order that we may be better and happier women and more valuable and efficient cit izens. Besides, the performance of our clear and undisputed duties leaves us no time to spare, no en ergies to waste, fixtension of our duties, our responsibilities, our power may best be secured by worthy performance of those al ready in our hands. “The individual woman should be better, happier, wiser, and more in telligent woman through member ship in her club. Personal culture is secured by association with oth ers, cultured or seeking culture. The extent and the great variety of the activities of our clubs looking to personal culture of the members is indicated in many cases by the names of the local clubs. The indi vidual woman should be a more competent and useful woman through her club associations. “As keeper, of the individual home and guardian of her own children, she may learn much of value to her in her own offices from interchange of thought and expe rience with her sisters. But it is in meeting the larger responsibili ties which have cemented us find which are not individual or per sonal that the club organization demonstrates its necessity and proves its efficiency.” for polo ponies. Some of these will be purchased from the ranches which make a specialty of training polo mounts for the big clubs in the East and the Eng lish army clubs, while others will be raw. unbroken mustangs. These will be trained to follow the ball by the local enthusiasts. The management of Ponce DeLeon park has been asked to rent the grounds for polo practice, but it is said the use of this park will be refused, as polo is ' an extremely rough game, and the po ' nies' hoofs cut the turf badly. The park department probably will grant the us< of in Piedmont park for polo practice, and it is expected that tin polo club will later be given the use of part of the grounds of the Athletic club’s country home or those of the 1 Brookhaven club. Challenges will bt ‘ issued to the polo eight of the St. Louis Country club and to the Chicago Polo club, it is expected, those organi . zations being comparatively new in the I i field. Games with the Meadowbrook and other famous organizations of the J East will be considered after the Dixie i elub has tested its strength against less > formidab.-. adt ersaries. SLAIN MAN’S SON WON’T PROSECUTE; SLAYER SET FREE E. B. Echols, a farmer, living near Easton, in the Piedmont road, arrested Thursday charged with the murder of his brother-in-law. James Thompson, was given his freedom by Justice Orr today. The warrant against him was dismissed on his plea of self-defense. Homer Thompson, son of the slain man, said that he would make no effort to have Echols indicted by the grand jury. No further action in the matter is contem plated by the authorities. Thompson quarreled with his brother in-law two weeks ago and during the al tercation struck him with a heavy hickory walking stick. Echols retaliated wdth a sand shovel, dealing Thompson what proved to be a fatal blow on the head. Thompson died a week later without re vealing the name of his assailant to the i authorities. Echols gave himself up to the county police.

AUSTERE COURT WSCHOOL Homer Cato, Aged 11, Shows Teacher Pendleton He Knows Multiplication Tables. When Homer Cato, aged eleven years, poked his thin face above the railing of the bench in juvenile court today and took a first furtive glance at Judge Pendleton he failed to impress the jurist as a bad citizen. "What is the matter with this bay?” the judge asked a squad of probation officeiß standing by as prosecutors. “Judge, you just won’t believe it”’ exclaimed the mother of the youth pushing her way through the crowd, “but I have to chain Homer to a chair to keep him at home. He won’t go to school, and I won’t let him run the streets.” Homer quickly admitted that he had been going to school only when he felt like it for seven years, and had only succeeded in reaching the second grade, but he came through the math ematical examination given him by the judge with flying eolqjrs. At the mention of the reformatory, Homer multiplied 6 by 2, added and di vided various sums successfully and went threw a course of elementary spelling without a falter. "Now, look here, Homer,” said the judge. "At the rate you are going you will be 25 years old by the time you reach the seventh grade, where you should be now. This has got to stop. Can you do better or must I send you to the reformatory?” Homer promised that he would be at school every morning from now on, would conduct no further feuds with his teachers and wouldn’t have to be chained to the chair at home.
