If Winn Approves, Dr. Gilbert
Will Order Old Plant Razed
Immediately.
WOODWARD FORCES
HOLD THEIR GROUND
Advantage in Mayson’s Ruling
Gives Them Power to Delay
Work Two Weeks.
The fight over the crematory was in
tensified today when Dr. W. L. Gil
bert. president of the city board of
health said he would order the old
crematory tom down so that work could
begin on the garbage disposal
plant at once, regardless of council, if
he could only get the approval of the
mayor. He said he had urged Acting
Mayor Candler to sanction such a move,
and that if Mayor Winn returned to
his office soon, he would appeal to him.
With merely enough authority in the
matter to prevent the beginning of the
work for two weeks, the friends of
James G. Woodward, mayoralty nomi
nee, persistently are holdin g their
ground. They were reassured at the
meeting of the aldermanic board yes
terday when City Attorney James L.
Mayson backed up Mr. Woodward In
his charge that the contract for the
$276,000 crematory was illegal.
"1 have never adbised that one coun
cil could legally appropriate the In
come of another council,” he said in
answer to a direct question fsem Al
derman J. E. McClelland.
Old Crematory Is
Called Unfit For Use.
Dr. Gilbert said the old crematory
was in such » bad condition that he
had ordered John Jentzen. sanitary
chief, to stop using it. He said it
would take about SB,OOO to repair the
crematory, and that all the garbage
would have to be dumped on the out
sklrts of the city unless the old crema
tory was repaired or a new one built.
The vote of the aldermanic board on
the contract to tear down the old cre
matory was:
Favorable—Nutting, Warren, Sprat-
, Ung. Ragsdale and Maddox.
Against—McClelland, Van Dyke and
Everett.
Then Aiderman Van Dyke gave notice
that he would have a reconsideration of
the matter at the next meeting of the
board, which holds up the contract for
two weeks.
Woodward Faction
Wins First Victory.
The Woodward faction won its first
victory at the meeting of the board
"hen It defeated the ordinance to make
ne city hall custodian elective by coun-
II every two years, instead of appoint
ee by the buildings and grounds com
mittee every year.
Joseph Shearer, the custodian, was a
supporter of Aldine Chambers for may
w. and he expects Mr. Woodward to
bave him fired the first of the year, as
the mayor appoints the buildings and
-’’"unds committee. It is expected the
committee will follow his wishes. The
v ote was:
For the ordinance—Nutting, Sprat
“ng and Maddox.
Against the ordinance—McClelland,
Van Dyke, Everett, Warren and Rags

Gets Share of Estate
Os Man Her Husband
Is Held for Slaying
Wife of Dr. Hyde, of Kansas City, I
Awarded SIIB,OOO From
Uncle’s Property.
i
KANSAS CITY, MO., Nov. B.—Mrs.
Francis Hyde, wife of Dr. B. Clarke
Hyde, now under indictment for the
murder of Colonel Thomas H. Swope,
has received SIIB,OOO from the estate
of the colonel. Division of the property
has just been made.
There were ten heirs to the estate,
which was valued at $1,300,000. The
division was made by agreement among
the heirs.
Dr. Hyde’s third trial is set for Jan
uary. During the progress of the last
trial one of the jurors escaped from
custody and was gone for several days.
The trial was then abandoned.
GUNMEN NOW FACE
TRIAL FOR SLAYING
HERMAN ROSENTHAL
NEW YORK, Nov. B.—The trial of
the gunmen accused of the actual as
assassination of Herman Rosenthal, for
instigating whose murder Charles
Becker, ex-lleutenant of police, Is now'
under death sentence, was called before
Justice Goff in the supreme court to
day. Believing that heir best chance
of escaping death lay in a group trial,
the four defendants had decided
against separate trials and District At
torney Whitman had announced that
he had no objection to such a plan.
Attorney Wahte, chief counsel for
Harry Horowitz, alias “Gyp the Blood;”.
Louis Rosenberg, alias "Lefty Louie:”
Frank Muller, alias "Whitey Lewis,"
and Frankie Cirofici, alias “Dago
Frank,” said that he expected a jury
would ba secured before night.
•*We are not afraid of any particu
lar kind nf a jury,” he said, “but want
the best we can get.”
The gunmen make up the youngest
group of defendant* ever held on trial
for their 11v-<mi in this city. The com
bined age of the fn.nr is only 94, an av
erage of Si.
All four of the gunmen will take the
stand as witnesses for themselves and
each other. The state has called 25
witnesses. It is stated that the four
men insisted upon testifying tn their
own behalf after watching the result of
the ecker trial, where they concluded
that the policeman lost his chance by
not testifying.
Just before court convened there
came a report from the West Side- pris
on that Louis (rßidgie) Webber was
pretending insanity.
Webber, who is one of the chief wit
nesses against the gunmen, is in des
perate fear of the prisoners and dreads
the ordeal of testifying against them.
Under this fear he has been for a week,
so his keepers intimate, putting himself
through crazy exercises and feigning
insanity.
SOCIETY PAIR MADE
KING AND QUEEN BY
SAMOA ISLANDERS
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. B.—En route
to Washington, D. C.. where they are
prominent in social circles, Mr. and Mrs.
Frederick Bulkeley Hyde arrived from
Pago Pago on the liner Ventura, and
related the story of how the natives of
the Island of Saviai, German Samoa,
crowned them king and queen.
The honor which was thrust upon
the Americans was without objection,
except in one particular—as a token of
their appreciation, the natives persisted
in presenting the new king with an ex
tra wife. The gift was rejected, after
considerable diplomatic effort on the
part of Mr Hyde.

parties of the Cleveland engaged, ac
cording to the vessel's officers.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Nov. B.—Nicho

less than 100 votes in the First Ohio
district, will carry the fight onto the
floor of congress if the official count
determines that his opponent, Stanley
Bowdle, Democrat, has won.
There have appeared apparent dis
crepancies in the total vote that may
reveal gross errors in the tabulations.

Tennessean Proposed
For Sherman’s Place
CHATANOOGA. TENN.. Nov. B.
Chattanooga may furnish the Repub

take the place of the late James S.
Sherman, in the person of United States
Senator Newell Sanders. He is known
to be in favor with the administration
and probably the majority of the mem
bers of the national Republican execu
tive committee that meets in Chicago
November 12 to declare the successor
of the late vice president. The South
ern members of the committee are be
lieved to favar Senator Sanders to a
unit.
The name of Governor Herbert S.
Hadley, of Missouri, has already been
mentioned. It is understood that he
will not accept the honor, and it will
devolve upon the distinguished Chatta
noogan to carry the second place on
the ticket for the retiring administra
tion.

Fate of Doctor Sen
tenced to Hang For
Slaying Best Friend
Depends on Guilt or
Innocence of Alleged
Victim ’ s Widow.
For two and a half long, dreary years
Dr. W. J. McNaughton has knqwn no
home save a narrow cell in the jail of
Chatham county. For two years and a
half his only prospect has been that of
ending his days on the gallows. A jury
of his home county has declared him
guilty of the. most revolting of all mur
ders —the poisoning of a friend. The
highest court of Georgia has ruled that
the sentence of death must be executed.
The highest court of the nation has re
fused to come to his succor.
Between McNaughton and the gal
lows stands only the figure of "Little
Joe” Brown, and Georgia’s governor
will not wipe away the shadow of the
gibbet with pardon or commutation of
sentence. But the governor will not let
McNaughton hang until he Is convinced
that the whole truth in this remarkable
tragedy is known.
And he believes that, this will not
come to pasj, until Mrs. !■'. S. Flanders,
widow of the man for whose death a
jury has said McNaughton must pay
with his life. Is brought to trial on the
charge which rests against her of be
ing an accessory in the crime.
Woman’s Trial Is
Often Postponed.
Time and time again her case has
been called in the Emanuel county
court. Time and time again it has been
postponed.
Until she faces a Jury, the death
doom will hang over McNaughton's
cell. Until her guilt or innocence has
been established, the governor is de
termined that the doctor shall not face
the hangman. The courts refuse to
move.
And in the meantime McNaughton
must live, though every second of that
life means only to him that the next
may bring him news that the gallows
waits him or word that his good name
has been cleared.
Georgia’s criminal bistort holds no
stranger case than that of th< Swains
boro doctor. Few more bizarre are re
corded tn the nation's record. The mo.

I crime is the old motive. The ancient

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. B.—With more
than 50 prominent scientific farmers of
Georgia present and all booming Dr.
Horace E. Stockbridge, of Atlanta, for the
second vice presidency, the farmers' na
tional congress was formally opened here
today in the Winter garden.
More than 2.000 delegates are present
from every section of the country, no
matter bow remote.
Ur. Stockbridge delivered a short re
-ponse to the addresses of welcome from
Governor Hall, Mayor Behrman and other
city officials.
The election of Dr. Stockbridge is al
most assured as no opposition has devel
oped. The election will be held tomorrow
afternoon at the session In the Progress
ive Union auditorium.
A resolution Is being framed by ths
leading delegates of the congress to call
pon President-elect Woodrow Wilson to
remove James Wilson as secretary of
agriculture and substitute Dr. H. W.
Wiley, the noted pure food expert and
victim of Taft policies. Sentiment is
strongly in favor of the resolution and
it will be adopted.
Powers to Oppose

PARIS. Nov. B.—An ominous shadow
is being cast over Europe by the mailed
hand of the triple alliance.
Definite announcement has come
from Vienna that Austria will refues to
consent to Servia havin gan outlet on
the Adriatic sea. This for years has
been the national dream of the Servians
and their demands in this respect will
be upheld by the other members of the
Balkan league. Italy and Germany are
expected to support Austria.

CHOLERA BREAKS OUT •
AMONG INJURED TURKS
Situation in Constantinople Is
Growing Steadily Worse as
Allies Continue Siege.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. B.—Tur
key will continue the war. This deci
sion was reached by the ministerial
council today after a long meeting at
which the future operations were thor
oughly canvassed.
”We will continue the war until our
forces are annihilated,” was the state
ment made after the meeting. A ma-
■ jority of the council was in favor of
; continuing hostilities.
I Turkey thus rejects the mandate of
■ the powers that she must seek peace
directly from the Balkan allies. The
Turkish government is willing to rest
Its fate with Europe, but It is not will
ing to enter into humiliating negotia
tions with the Balkan federation.
CHOLERA BREAKS
OUT IN WOUNDED.
Cholera has broken out among the
wounded Turkish soldiers brought here
from the front.
This has greatly increased . the peril
of the city for there Is a woeful lack of
medical supplies, nurses and doctors.
The government may be compelled to
resort to conscription to secure enough
nurses to attend to the wounded.
There are over 35,090 wounded Turk
ish soldiers here and hundreds of others
are arriving daily.
All the wounded in the fighting
around the Chatalja fort are being
brought into the city as rapidly as tho
traffic facilities admit.
Assault Continues
On Constantinople
SOFIA, Nov. B.—Fighting is still go
ing on at the gates of Constantinople.
Bulgarian government officials an
nounced that dispatches arriving from
the front today stated that the Turkish
forts at Chatalja are being subjected to
a heavy bombardment from the Bul
garian batteries. A portion of then*
are reported to have been captured.
The Bulgarian army south of Adri
anople has been reinforced by 10,00(1
reservists, who left Stara Zagora on
Tuesday.
General Petroff, commander of the
Bulgarian center, Is on the firing lins
and is personally directing the attach
upon the Turkish forts. Czar Ferdi
nand's Bulgarian army has now occu
pied practically all of the availablj
heights north of Chatalja. All his
heaviest artillery has been massed
there, and concentrated between th-j
batteries In the Hollows lies the old
guard of the Bulgarian army and ths
flower of the Bulgar troops.
Considerable belief attached here tu
the rumor that Adrianople had fallen,
but that the information had been kep*
secret to enable the Bulgars to mov*
their siege guns and troops to the front
without the knowledge of Turkey. An
other reason expressed for Bulgaria’s
silence was that the Bulgar government;
wanted to enter Constantinople, out
feared intervention before this should
happen if the powers learned of the fail
of Adrianople.
The first Turkish army of Thrace,
which Nazim Pasha, minister of wa.,
commanded, has been all but annihi
lated. it is said, and the brunt of the
defense of Constantinople now rest-j
upon the Asiatic troops and reservists.
Smallpox Raging in
Salonika; Greeks Wait
ATHENS, GREECE. Nov. B.—Although
the Greek army under Crown Prince Con
stantine are In the control al Salonika,
dispatches received today Indicate that
the Greek soldiers had not yet entered the
city, but were still held In the suburbs.
Two reasons are given for this. The
chief reason was that smallpox was rag
ing fn the city and Prince Constantine
refused to expose his troops to the dis
ease. Another was that the Greeks were
awaiting the arrival of King Peter’s Sert
ian army before making w triumphal
entry.
Torpedo boat No. 11, which sunk the
Turkish cruiser Eeth-IT-Helend In the
Gulf of Salonika with the loss of 300 live.-,
has arrived here and is being overhauled.
