COUNTY JAIL FLOPS TO WILSON; IN “FOLD” TO STICK NOW Another Roosevelt precinct has flop ped over into the Wilson column—the Fulton county Tower. The 35 moonshiners —north Georgia mountaineers—in the jail, who, when a straw ballot was taken just prior to the election, voted solidly for Teddy and threw the jail to him by a majority of 18. today "reconsidered their action” and revoted for Wilson. This switch takes the jail from Teddy and gives it to Wilson. After finding that Georgia had rolled up a majority of nearly 70,000 for the Democratic candidate, and that prac tically all of the north Georgia counties had gone for Wilson, the moonshiners called a meeting this morning on the "run-around" on the fifth floor, and, following several enthusiastic talks, cast a solid Wilson vote. A tall, lank, rugged mountaineer, acting as spokes man, then gave out a statement to the public, declaring the moonshiners were back in the Democratic fold to stay.

Nov. 8 "Rube” Marquard, star pitcher of the New York Giants, figured in a sensa tional Incident here early today when he was caught in a beach front hotel with Blossom Seeley, an actress, by the woman’s husband. Joseph Kane. While Kane and two detectives were batter ing down the door of the room, Mar quard and his companion fled down the fire escape and escaped in an automo bile. Marquard is charged in a warrant sworn out by Kane with “alienation of affections” and with being a fugitive from justice. Charges may be prefer red against Robert Delaney, proprie tor of the hotel, and Frank Bowman, the night clerk, whom Kane alleges helped Marquard and Mrs. Kane to es cape. Papers were being prepared, it is said, which will enable the police of any state in the Union to arrest "Rube." Kane, who is a New Yorker, booked Marquard to appear with Ms. Kane, who is known as Blossom Seeley, on the stage in a vaudeville sketch based on Marquard’s pitching record last season, when he won 19 straight games for the Giants. “I was tipped off by friends that it was not a business proposition that was keeping the pair so close together," de clared Kune, "laiter I found out that my wife and Marquard were traveling about the country, living as man and t »» wT Although Flar vard verily has a F much, better team than Vanderbilt, experts the coun try over predict a small score.

He bases his prediction on the fact that the Crimson coaches will hold back their star men for the Dartmouth and Yale games. Heisman also thinks it possible that Vanderbilt may score a touch down if they are successful in pull ing off one of two forward passes. .FINAL * HEALTH BOARD DEFIES WOOD Him ORDERS CREMATORY DESTROYED Workmen Begin Tearing Down Huge Smokestack, Making Destruction of Plant Inevitable, While Opponents of Illegal Contract Rage. Evading the legal machinery of the city government, workmen prepared today to demolish the old crematory, under orders from the board of health. Before the sun sets it is expected that the garbage plant which James G. Woodward, mayoralty nominee, has done all in his power to save, will be a mass of ruins. Technically, the board of health has ordered the 175-foot steel smokestack torn down on account of the danger of its falling. City Attorney James L. Mayson has ruled that the board not only has the right to remove this stack, but that it is its duty. The stack weighs 83 tons, and when it falls all know that all that will be left of the crematory will be a mass of scrap iron and rubbish. Ardent Woodward supporters are indignant at this turn of af fairs. By the motion of Aiderman A. H. Van Dyke, a contract to tear down the old crematory was held up for two weeks by the al dermanic board yesterday afternoon. They don’t know what to do now. , ‘ ‘ Something’s Rotten, ’ ’ Says Van Dyke. Aiderman Van Dyke declared today that there was “something rotten” in that $276,000 contract with the Destructor Company, of New York, for a new garbage dis posal plant. Mr. Woodward at tacked the contract as illegal be cause it appropriates future in come. Alderman Van Dyke added to this assertion by stating that the company would make SIOO,OOO too much profit on the plant. Frank Hammond, whom. It Is gen erally conceded, Mr. Woodward will name as his executive secretary, as serted that the move to raze the old crematory "Is merely to spite Mr. Wood ward.” "He has gone North to study garbage disposal systems, and requested, as a courtesy, that the city officials delay tearing down the old crematory until he returned," he said. “His observa tions will determine his attitude to ward the new plant which is to be built on the site of the old plant. It is an official insult to tear down this old plant, leaving the city absolutely with out any crematory, before he returns. "Dr. Gilbert stated in an elevator In the Atlanta National Bank building Monday that everything was fixed to ‘knife’ Mr. Woodward. "When they tear down this old plant and begin to dump all the garbage around the city, I have information that injunction suits will be filed against the city by many citizens." Plan To Rush Work On the New Plant. The board of health has an appro priation of SI,OOO to excavate for the new crematory. As soon as the old one is wrecked, Dr. W. L. Gilbert said today that work would begin to build the new plant. But Mr. Woodward will have his in ning when he takes his seat as mayor. He has Informed members of council that he would not sign the $75,000 check as a payment on the plant next year. Council has provided for a $50,000 pay ment this year. Woodward’s Foes Accuse Power Company. The Destructor Company has given a bond of $375,000 that It will carry out the contract. This also provides for a SIOO,OOO electric power plant in connec tion with the crematory if council cares to build this plant when the crematory is completed. It has been charged by Councilman Aldine Chambers and others that some of the opposition to the new crematory came from stockholders of the Geor gia Railway and Power Company, who did not want to see the city build an electrle plant. Mr. Woodward declared that the bond of the Destructor Company was worth less because it was based on an illegal contract. Mayson Brands Contract Illegal. City Attorney James L. Mayson has backed up Mr. Woodward's statement that the contract for the new plant is illegal. In answer to a direct question at the meeting of the alderman!? board yesterday afternoon he said he had rrver edvi»"d that the rwinel! <.f nno 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE i* o V° JOHNSON FAGING TERM IN PRISON Jack Johnson, Indicted in Chi/ cago for White Slavery, Is/ Held in $30,000 Bond. CHICAGO, Nov. B.—Jack Johnson, negro fighter, accused of violation of the Mann act, appeared before Federal Judge K. M. Landis today prepared to give bond in the sum of $30,000. The sureties offered by black champion, however, were rejected by the court and late today 1t seemed likely that Johnson would spend the night in jail. Johnson, without his attorney, asked the judge to reduce the bond. Judge Landis eyed the negro sharply. “Where Is your attorney?” he asked. “I thought It was only a matter ot bond and I would need no lawyer,” Jack replied. "I told you over the telephone last night that the hearing would be held today,” said Judge Landis. “Yes; but I didn’t know there was any law in the matter;” said the pugi» list. "I dislike to refuse reduction ot yout bond without your attorney present,’ snapped the judge. Johnson telephoned for Attorney Ed ward S. Day, his counsel. District Attorney Wilkerson Insisted that the surety furnished be unincum bered property covering the sum ol $30,000. He refused to accept cash bond, on the ground that it might be for feited. He added also that care would be taken to ward against indemnifying the property owners against loss. Johnson was Indicted on four counts by the grand jury yesterday and ar rested. The penalty for the offense with which he is charged is from one to. ten years in the penitentiary. year could legally appropriate the in come of another year. “You could not mandamus the may or and force him to sign a check in payment of an illegal contract," said Mr. Mayson. "What are we going to do next yeai with the old crematory torn down and Mr. Woodward refusing to sign the check on payment for the new plant?” urged Aiderman John E. McClelland. “There will be such a nuisance from garbage dump piles that the people will rise up in arms against the city gov ernment.” Aiderman J. B. Everett was the third man, with Aldermen Van Dyke and Me. Clelland, to comply with Mr Wood ward’s request and vote to hold up the resolution of council authorizing th, destruction of the old crematory at tin meeting of the board yesterday. Dr. Gilbert and W. E. Dowd, agent o' the Destructor Company, said the n«.s plant would be in operation by June lof next year if the company could go to work at once.
