NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—Plans have been completed for the launching of another of I’nele Sam's monster battle ships. The new addition to the navy is the New York, whose 27,000 tons of steel hull and superstructure now lie in the Brooklyn navy yard, awaiting the coming of the elete of official Wash ington on October 30 to take her initial plunge into the water. More than the usual preparations have been made for this first baptism of the great leviathoq. President Taft and Secretary of the Navy Meyer have been asked to be present and have ac cepted, the navy yard will be bedecked with flags and bunting and thousands from New York city have already re ceived cards admitting them to the launching ceremonies. The battleship will be christened by a daughter of Congressman Calder from the Empire state. Tile New York is a sister ship to tin battleship Texas, which was launched at Newport News a few months ago. Like the Texas, she will have an arma ment of fourteen-inch guns. Ten guns of this size will be carried in the main battery. She will also have 21 five-inch guns strung along her sides. The New York will be about 1,000 tons larger tn displacement than the Wyoming and the Arkansas, the pres ent largest ships of the navy, and about 5,000 tons larger than the Florida, the last battleship built at the navy yard. She is 573 feet long, with 95 feet beam and a draught of 28.5 feet. The New York will cost witen finished about $6,000,000. The ship’s keel was laid on September 11, 1911- She will be about 60 per cent completed when she is launched. When ready for sea she will be equipped with engines capableSof generating 28,100 horsepower, which are expected to drive her at the rate of 21 1-2 knots an hour. FIFTH MATRIMONIAL TRY FOR HIM.

Wat son’s active and aggressive support of Mr. Roosevelt will be worth many votes to the Bull Moose candidate. It is idle to eon tend that Mr. Watson has not aWr ■•’dp fLljb large and com- 1/ vw pact follow ing in the state. He has any- gSI ' ' ■ lo.oQO . to 15,000 devote*’ MB friends and ad herents in Georgia S * who w ill vote tin BK fliß questionably so. S® ’ Roosevelt upot ijwg jgu— Mr. Watson’s men. re '* UfS ' .iOMX.3 » XErVTDT No man itt the state has so many votes that he may depend upon utterly, and at a mere wave of the hand or suggestion. And it is not that this following is blind or unintelligent, for it is neither. It merely is that the Watson following believes implicitly in Mr. Watson, and that it goes his way because it believes his way is the right way. While it is true, however, that Mr. Watson's support of Mr. Roosevelt will win many votes to the Rough Rider, it is equally true that it will spur Demo crats to renewed activity. There are many voters in this state who will line up actively for anybody Mr. Watson is opposed to —and it is but fair to say, perhaps, that these voters are neither blind nor unintelli gent! Mr. Watson is at once both the most hated and'the most loved man in Geor gia, in certain quarters. His "bolt ' to Roosevelt lias added considerable ginger to the campaign, anyway. Herbert Clay, the newly elected so licitor general of the Blue Ridge cir cuit, discussing the execution of two negroes in Cumming yesterday, talked today most Interestingly on affairs in Forsyth county, political as well as otherwise. "It Is difficult for a person living away from Forsyth county to under stand the feelings of the people there, and for that reason they should not be censured too harshly ror tearing down the big fence which had been erected to prevent the execution of the crimi nals in any way other than as the law' provides,” said “The politics of Forsyth may bo more or less mixed, but upon the question attaching to the execution of these two negroes the people are united. It may be that they would not have restrained themselves hail th< military not been sent along with the criminals. As to that lam not prepared to say. I am glad the execution was carried out le gally: it would have been a .deploragle thing to have had a lynching in Cum ming yesterday. "The feeling against'the negroes ex ecuted may be measured and estimated By JAMES B . NEVIN. in away when I say that Forsyth county, since the crimes that precipi tated the present situation were com mitted, has been absolutely freed of negroes entirely. I honestly belieye that the two negroes executed in For syth yestreday were the only two ne groes in the county at the time! “So shocking and so inhuman were the crimes for which the negroes died that a big wave of indignation swept over the county, utterly wiping out the negro section of Its population. I do not mean that negroes were killed, but I do mean they were forced to leave the county, and in some parts of the same a number of negro houses and churches were burned. "Among the .wholesale withdrawal of the negroes from Forsyth county were many, of course, who were law-abiding and relatively inoffensive. But For syth county was no place for them— they were, and are, better off else where. "I do not attempt to moralize par ticularly with respect to the situation now existing in Forsyth. J think it must be something like that which ex isted throughout the South right after reconstruction times—a negro Is a ne gro in Forsyth right now. and the peo ple up there are unable to differentiate between them particularly. "The greater part of the negroes de parting from Forsyth merely have gone into adjoining counties, and, by and by. some of them may drift back to their old homes; but I do not think that will be soon. And I do not think For syth county will be safe for them for a good many days to come. “I think the governor has won the respect of the people of Forsyth in seeing to it that the negroes got a fair trial and a legal execution—even though to guarantee that to them he had to protect the people of Forsyth against themselves. “The sheriff ami county officials may have dreaded the possible effect upon themselves politically by insisting that the law he carried out, but nothing of disaster will come to them, 1 am sure, because they did their duty under their oaths.” The Georgia friends of Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt—and he has very many warm friends and admirers in this state —are interested In the suit for libel he has brought against a Michigan news paper that attacked him viciously not long ago for alleged intemperance ir language and liquor. Os course, Colonel Roosevelt’s idea is merely to establish a record in refu tation of the ancient charge, never sus tained, that the former president hab itually overindulged himself in strong drink. For the charge of intemperance in language he cares nothing whatever, perhaps. It is possible that a number of peo ple. never so situated that they might intelligently study Colonel Roosevelt at close range, believe the stories set afloat from time to time with respect to his intemperance. As a matter of fact, there never was the slightest founds-, tlon for the charges. Colonel Roose velt. far from being intemperate in HOME FOR GRADY NURSES IS PUN Sixteen Sets of Drawings Sub mitted for Proposed New $50,000 Structure. Definite steps were taken today look ing to the building of a handsome $50,- 000 home for the nurses of Grady hos pital, to be situated on the hospital grounds. ’ Sixteen sets of plans, submitted by as many architects, have been placed in the hands of Dr. W. B. Summerall, the superintendent, and from these the plan of the new home will be chosen. The officials of the hospital will be aided in their choice by an advisory architect, whose services have been engaged for this purpose. The officials contemplate a home that will comfortably house 96 nurses. When it is completed the corps of nurses, which is now abnormally small, will be immediately increased to meet the de mands of the hospital. This will meat; the realization of a long needed im provement in the efficiency of the insti tution, the present shortage of nurses having proved a serious problem for a long time. Plans are xpeejed to be selected with in the next few days, after which the matter will be taken up with the city council with the view of procuring an additional appropriation before actual work of building begins. Only a small appropriation is now available. ■Tite Grady nurses have long sought a new home and are nthusiastic over the preparations started for the new struc. ture. The present building is an old, ramshackle, overcrowded affair that has been in use for years ami falls fat short of the requirements of a real nurses home. "We are planning for th< future as well as the present," says Dr. Summer all, “and want to erect such a home as will meet the demands of the hospital as it grows and forces an increase in the corps of nurses in coming years." drink, is one of the most sparing of drinkers—he rarely touches anything, and when he does, it usually is a light wine. If any class of men in this world know Mr. Roosevelt for what he really Is, personally and otherwise, it is the newspaper correspondents accredited by the big dailies to Washington city Their undivided testimony is that Colo nel Roosevelt has merely been the vic tim of mean slander in the matter of his alleged intemperance—just as other presidents before him have been. Colonel Roosevelt seems determined to establish by a court record, how ever, that which those who really are acquainted with him already know to be the truth—and perhaps it is just as well, for there is no good reason why anybody anywhere should belleva that old intemperance falsehood. Monday is the last day the court ot appeals granted Judge Fite, in the mat ! ter of deciding whether he would paj his fine or go to jail. The judge never has said which lu will do—but the betting is that he wil pay the fine. Edward Lindorme, son of Dr. and Mrs. A. H. Lindorme, 287 Gordon street.

ALL PARTIES WILL USE LIKE BALLOT Bull Moosers Follow Demo crats in Going Back on Pro posed Pink Slips. The decision of Chairman William J, Harris, of the state Democratic execu tive committee, to withdraw the pro posed "pink” ballot for the exclusive use of Wilson and Marshall voters In the forthcoming national election lj generally approved. If comment amonj political observers In Atlanta Indicates the, feeling throughout the state. While the ‘pink" unquestionaably was urged by Chairman Harris origi nally as a seeming safeguard to the party, it was very clearly of doubtful legality, and Mr. Harris himself real ized that eventually. One high legal authority, who at first thought the proposed "pink” might be entirely within the law, afterward changed his opinion, in the Federal aspect of the matter, and said that 11 might be successfully protested as in timidation and duress, and for that reason was dangerous. In that opin ion he was sustained by a great many other lawyers of repute. Moreover, there was a growing re sentment all over the state—upon the part of several members of the state committee, among others—against th« use of the “pink,” and the implied ne cessity of checking up voters inside tha Democratic party as to their presiden tial choice. Particularly was this re sentment manifested among those who sincerely desire that there may be nc shadow of cloud upon the title of Wil son and Marshall to the Georgia elec toral vote. In any event. W. J. Tilson, of the Progressive cam. palgn committee, said today that there was no real foundation for the report that the Bull Moose party ever hac contemplated seriously the use of t “pink” ticket in Georgia. “We let the report go out that we might use a ‘pink’ merely to call the bluff of the Democratic spokesman. We might have had a few ‘pinks’ printed, had the Democrats really carried through their fantastic scheme. I see they have come down off that horse, however. The Progressives nevet would have voted any ticket other than the customary white—the state com mittee never contemplated anything else. We wish everything to be regulai and fair —that's all.” Chairman Harris said today that al' “pink” tickets printed and scheduler for use would be recalled, and that th< Democratic organizations throughou the state would be advised to •tic) ’tight to the regulation white. 3
