KILLING CASE GOES TO JURY.
ANNISTON. ALA., Nov. s.—The trial
of Deputy Sheriff John T. Rowland for
killing Pid Rutledge at Jacksonville last
April, as the result of a feud of long
standing, reached the jury here this
afternoon. A verdict Is expected to
morrow, unless a mistrial, which is ex
pected by many, results. There is great
interest in the case.
AMERICAN PRINCESS
WILL HELP BULGARS;
PRINCE W f TH TURKS
BELGRADE, Nov. 5.—A fine touch of
romance has been infused by the Amer
ican Princess Hassan into the dreary
tale of killed, wounded and massacred
in the Turko-Balkan war.
The princess has wired the Metro
politan Demetrius and the Red Cross
society that she has put herself at
the head of a cosmopolitan relief com
mittee to help the Christians of the
Balkans.
The action of the princess, .who for
merly was Miss Ola Humphrey, of Cali
fornia, is attracting widespread atten
tion, especially as her husband, Prince
Hassan, went to Constantinople before
the war broke out to take a command
in the Sultan’s army. Prince Hassan
and his kinsman, the Khedive of Egypt,
being Mussulmans, naturally sympa
thize with Turkey and the prince is
furious that his American wife should
help the Giaours, as he calls the Chris
tians. His hatred of Christians is de
scribed as diabolical. The khedive also
resents the fight between the cross and
the crescent in his own family.
MRS. EDDY’S FORTUNE
MORE THAN $2,000,000
BOSTON, Nov. s.—Mis. Mary Baker
G. Eddy, founder of the Christian Sci
ence church, had in Massachusetts at
the time of heF death $82,843.75 in per
sonal property, and real estate valued
at $155,000, according to the report of
Thomas W. Streeter, Frederick E. Jen
nings and John W. Worthingham, who
were appointed by the probate court to
appraise the estate. The entire amount
which the New Hampshire adminis
trator, to whom the appraisers will re
port, will turn over to the church is
about $2,000,000.
GIRL TAKEN IN RAID
ON COUNTERFEITERS
ST LOUIS. Nov. s.—Government se
. cret service men and local detectives,
acting on information given by a cap
tured member of a gang of alleged
counterfeiters, raided a house at 3106
Lucas avenue and arrested two men
and a sixteen-year-old girl. The house
was filled with counterfeiting apparatus
and 380 bogus silver dollars were found.
WOMAN KEEPS SECRET!
TEACHER’S WEDDING TO
BANKER HIDDEN4YEARS
ELIZABETH, N. J., Nov. s.—Mrs.
William H. Wack, of Newark, has
pelled all doubts as to the ability of a
woman to keep a secret. As Mabel
Frances Garrabrant she became the
bride of Mr. Wack, a banker of this
city, on December 14. 1908, and until a
few days ago not a word escaped her
lips as to the marriage.
She had continued teaching at the
Hamburg avenue school in Newark
since that time, thus achieving the
long-distance, secret-keeping record for
her sex.
They wished to keep the ceremony
secret, as the bride wanted to continue
her school duties. Mrs. Wack lived with
her parents at 169 Walnut street.

GERMANY TRYING TO
PURCHASE A COALING
STATION FROM CHILE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.—A report
received here from Punta Arenas.
Chile, says that Germany is about to
acquire an island in the Magellan chan
nel to be used as a coaling station.
The German cruiser Bremen is now
engaged in exploring and surveying in
the vicinity. It is understood that
the visit is also connected with the
opening of the Panama canal and the
possibilities for German trade in South
America.
Seno’r Suarez, Chilean minister here,
declared today that the report was
foolish. His country, he added, was
not in the market selling coaling sta
tions to foreign governments, and
would be no more willing than the
United States to part with one of her
ports.
All the islands in the Strait of Ma
gellan are under the sovereignty of
Chile.
12,000 SERIOUS FIRES
IN _? US S IA ,N YEAR
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. s.—More
than 12,000 serious fires have been re
ported throughout European Russia this
year. The fire loss in fifteen years is
given as $150,000,000.
I he chief causes of the epidemic are
“carelessness in the handling of fire,
which is connected with the great In
crease of drunkenness, the lack of water
in the villages and the primitive con
struction of the flues of chimneys,
which are never inspected and never
cleaned.”
GERMANY, IN MEAT
FAM JN E ,_ EATS DOGS
HALLE, GERMANY, Nov. s.—Scores
of stray dogs were slaughtered today
and the meat was sold to the public in
the city market. There was a rush to
obtain the canine "steaks" and "chops"
as if they were a great delicacy.
The city authorities ordered the
butchering of the animals, which is
planned to combat the meat famine.
HICCOUGHS KILL RICH MAN.
PITTSBURG, PA., Nov. 5. Stephen
Gress, 48 years old, a wealthy mer
chant of Homestead, died in East End
hospital today, after suffering a week
from hiccoughs.
SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN. <
Political prophets prevet bially are
pussy-footed.
They hate to get right down to brass
L
Hr-
tacks —for a man
may guess right
twenty times and
not attract any
particular atten
tion, whereas the
guessing wrong
once likely will
bring down upon
him a mass of
ridicule calculated
to make sore his
heart and impair
seriously his fu
ture usefulness in
the prophesying
business.
Nevertheless, it
seems reasonably
sure that Wilson
will win it this
time, and so the guessing all is running
in his direction, with very few pre
cincts unheard from.
In New York they are betting on him
—if they can get the bets—4 to 1.
To be sure, the betting was 10 to 1
on Cleveland the time Cleveland went
down and out before Harrison, but that
is the only conspicuous example of the
unpleasant comparison one is able to
conjure up for Democratic contempla
tion nowadays.
And even at that, Cleveland beat
Harrison 98,017 in the popular vote, al
though he lost the electoral vote by a
wide margin.
It seems rather curious, too, that
Cleveland, upon whom all Democrats
look back these days as a fine figure of
conservatism, should have been the one
man who three times was “elected" to
the presidency by popular vote—for
every time he ran he commanded a plu
rality. He caine nearer to smashing
the third term tradition, viewing the
question in a possible aspect, than any
other man ever has—and maybe ever
will.
It is not probable that Wilson will
receive a majority of the popular vote
today. It does seem probable that his
majority in the electoral college will be
large.
In Georgia—well, the Georgia returns
should be very interesting. Wilson and
Marshall will carry the state, perhaps
by a not very large majority over all.
The Democrats are plentiful enough, if
only they will vote.
On the other hand, the combined Re
publican vote is apt to be astonishing,
comparing it with other Republican
votes since reconstruction.
Roosevelt will carry a number of
counties—and Taft will get a good, sub
stantial vote, distributed all over the
state, and showing its best form around
and about the Tenth district.
Debs and Chafin will do well to mus
ter from 1,000 to 1,500 votes between
them; so they will not cut much figure
in the outcome.
The Republican vote today in Geor
gia should crowd 60,000, If it doesn’t
pass it. That will be going some—but
Sidelights believe it will go there, any
way.
Only one thing can endanger the
state to the Democracy today—and that
is Democratic apathy and failure to
VOTE.
In no event Is Roosevelt likely to
carry the state. If Wilson falls to get
a majority over all, the selection of
electors will go to the legislature.
Edward Maddox, of Rome, is in At
lanta today, hurrying home to vote for
Wilson and Marshall.
Mr Maddox has been in New York
for the past few days, and he says
Georgia people have no idea what a real
campaign for the presidency is, unless
they be of those who recently have vis
ited some of the doubtful states.
“Broadway is Bedlam," said Mr.
Maddox, “and everywhere one goes in
the big city it is as bad.
“A curious phase—to me, anyway—
of the New York rumpus is that one
hears and sees more women speakers
than men. The suffragettes are all for
T. R., and the racket they can, and do,
make is astounding. The noise of the
spellbinders in Gotham is bewildering,
and, in away, highly amusing.
“I attended both the recent big
meetings. Wilson had a large and most
enthusiastic crowd —but it will have to
be admitted that Roosevelt’s was big
ger. I never saw such a frenzied mob
as the one that greeted Roosevelt —
they seem to be crazy about him. Every
'crank' in that end of creation is fol
lowing the Bull Moose this year—just
as they used to follow Bryan. Or as the
enemy said they followed Bryan, at
least.
“With all the Roosevelt enthusiasm,
however, the state is going for Wilson
—and it will go safely and decisively.
"But getting back home is like get
ting off a circus train into a funeral
procession, so far as the political ex
citement of the thing is concerned.
"Believe me, there is something do
ing up East!"
Boston, Mass., has had its eye on its
Georgia namesake, and particularly
with respect to the recent cow election
In the latter municipality.
Looking ahead, The Boston Globe
recently printed the following edito
rial:
In Boston, Ga., they are to de
cide by popular vote whether cows
shall be allowed to roam at will
about the streets and sidewalks. It
appears that there have been some
warm political disputes over this
gentle creature and her desire tor
unrestrained liberty and free access
to all public thoroughfares. Bos
ton, Mass., once had the same prob
lem and before it was settled the
cows had done the work of civil
engineers in the matter of city
planning.
There is a tradition that Savannah
really was "laid out" by the cows—and
there are even those irreverent enough
| to say tl at some of Atlanta's twisting
and winding thoroughfares originally
were cow-paths!
Anyway, Boston, Ga., since The Bos
ton Globe editorialized and forewarned,
has voted in favor of the cows—by a
majority averaging 4 to 1.
And there may have been a measure |
of method in Boston’s madness!
Judge Henry Revill, of Greenville,
presiding magistrate of the city court
of Meriwether, is an Atlanta visitor.
The judge is extremely popular with
the people of his county, but In the
matter of dispensing justice he knows
no friend or foe—he hands it out im
partially.
Os late his honor has been swamped
with "blind tiger” cases. For a time It
looked as if the entire shiftless section
of the Meriwether population was about
to turn bootlegger.
“I have a time with those defend
ants, too,” said Judge Revill, “but the
court has managed to round up its
share of them of late. One of the
troubles is that either ’Bill’ Jones ot
‘Daddy’ McLaughlin invariably repre
sents the ‘tiger’ on trial—and that
makes it more or less difficult for me
to get away with it!”
It should be explained that "Bill’'
Jones is the judge’s brother-in-law, and
"Daddy" McLaughlin is his father-in
law. And, between the two, they man
age just about to sew up the criminal
practice in their vicinity.
Atlanta practically Is politicianless
today, save in so far as those of a
strictly local persuasion are concerned.
Those who live here, but have vot
ing residences elsewhere, have departed
in order to vote “back home," and those
who visit here off and on are staying at
home today, whooping things up for
Woodrow Wilson.
The Kimball house lobby, that mecca
of all visiting politicians and states
men, real and near, is today a "ban
quet hall deserted!”
They will flock into town tonight,
however, to hear the news.
MAN TRIESZO FORCE
WAY INTO HOME TO
SEE PRESIDENT TAFT
CINCINNATI, OHIO, Nov. 5.—A man
who said he had served in the Civil
war and “had never been mustered
out" made a persistent attempt today
to obtain admission to the residence of
Charles P. Taft, where President Taft
is awaiting the nation's verdict.
When a maid answered the man’s
ring at the doorbell, he explained that
only Mr. Taft could muster him out,
and he attempted to push his way
through the door. The maid quickly
slammed the door in his face, and the
man disappeared.
JUDGE ROSSER, PIONEER,

The funeral of Judge E. B. Rosser,
who died in Florida Sunday morning,
will be held this afternoon at 2: 3C
o’clock at the First Christian church.

neral.
SENTENCES GREEK
THIEF TO FIGHT TURK
CINCINNATI, OHI<X Nov. s.—Judge
Woodmansee, in the criminal court, sen
tenced a prisoner to return to Greece,
his native land, to fight the Turks. The
sentence will stand unless diplomatic ob
stacles develop.
Nicolas Zurlos had been convicted nt “
stealing a diamond ring valued at $450.
Judge Woodmansee asked him how he
would like to fight the. Turks. Zurlos
said he would like it very much and the
judge imposed the sentence.
PHONE COMPANY DEMURRS.
COLUMBUS, GA., Nov. s.—Attorneys of
the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele
graph Company have filed a demurrer to
the Injunction proceedings instituteed by
the city to prevent the company from in
creasing its rates. It is argued that Judge
Freeman, of the Coweta superior court
has no jurisdiction, as the question is one
for the railroad commission to settle.
TO INSPECT ELECTRICAL WORK.
WAYCROSS, GA., Nov. 5.—L. B. Boggs,
recently elected city electrician, has as
sumed his duties and proposes to conduct
a thorough inspection of wiring in the

subject are being compiled with in every
detail.
