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. Newark. 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, ,S BUR !I D I N OAK LAND 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. Dr. L. O. Bricker, pastor of the church, will conduct the service and the pall bearers will be the official board of tlfe church. Judge Rosser was a member of the board. Interment will be at Oak land. The body of Judge Rosser was brought to Atlanta yesterday and was taken to Patterson’s chapel, where it will remain until the hour for the fu 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 city to see that the ordinances on tlie subject are being compiled with in every detail.
