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 daie.

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. MARINES RETURNED FROM NICARAGUA HAD BAD CAMPAIGN SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. B.—The I cruiser Cleveland, under Commander D. W. Blamer, is in San Francisco har- j bor today after a voyage from the scene of the Nicaraguan revolution. The Cleveland, is the first of the American warships to return.

B.—Nicho las Longworth, defeated for congress by 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.

B.—Three firemen were seriously Injured under falling walls In a fire at 4 o’clock this morning that destroyed the Heard Bros, warehouse, on Sixth street, with a loss of SIOO,OOO. More than 400 bales of cotton and guano and phosphate worth $50,000 was burned. The three firemen, J. It. lonian, Cap tain C. L. Collins and C. V. Shepard, are in the hospital, and the first two are in a serious condition. The building was already a mass of flames when the alarm was given and the firemen only sought to save the adjoining structures. Tennessean Proposed For Sherman’s Place CHATANOOGA. TENN.. Nov. B. Chattanooga may furnish the Repub lican candidate for vice president, to 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. Democrat Leads for Oregon Senator PORTLAND, OREG Nov. 8 Dr Lane. Democrat, has 1,300 lend over Ben Selling. Republican, for United States senator, today. Wilsop lias 8,500 over Roosevelt, and will carry the state 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. tlve for the crime—if there was a I crime is the old motive. The ancient -J p,_. T---. 800M0HILEF FDR MET JOB Farmers National Congress to Indorse Him—Atlantan Will Get Vice Presidency.

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. This. In condensed form, is the an ticipated fruits of the victory of the allies over tile Turks: .Montenegro to annex the vilayet of Scutari.

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.
