’for congress, more than 1,000 persons
gathered in the streets of Sidell, near

burning in effigy of the ex-speaker.
The effigy was carried through the

ART THOU ANY KIND OF
TROTTER? HERE’S THE
CHANCE TO “TURKEY”
Moans from' the minuet, groans from
the gavotte, wails from the waltz, tears
from the two-step, lamentations from
the lancers and sobs fro the schottische
—the turkey trot has become so pre
eminent in Atlanta that Atlanta has got
to have a turkey trot show.
It’s going to be held Monday night
in the hall named after a gentleman
that it wouldn’t have beer, named after
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November of recent date. It
will be conducted by the Atlanta lodge
of Elks as a fitting climax to the gaye
ties of their Kirmess week. The indi
cations are that Taft hall will hold a
bigger crowd that night even than it
did the night it was named in the pres
ident’s honor, though he was present
then and is a considerable crowd in
himself.
The contest is open to the world, but
the entrance has to be made at the Elks
club in East Ellis street before 7 o'clock
Monday evening. T. R. Champlin,
chairman, and J. A. Malcolm, who will
act with him as judge, will book the
entries and pass on their trotting mer
its.
And—oh, yes—it is reasonably cer
tain that the orchestra will play "Ev

BLACK RAFFLES IS
TERMED GRANDEST
RASCAL BY JUDGE
“You are the grandest rascal I’ve had
the pleasure of meeting since I’ve been
on the bench.” said Recorder Broyles
today to Will Fraser, a negro, as he
.bound Fraser over to the state courts in
bond of SSOO, on charges of larceny.
Fraser, who said he w’orked in a fash
ionable down-town hotel, was accused
of being a professional black Raffles.
He is said to have gone to the home
of another’ negro. Ed Butler, in the
rear of 128 Capitol avenue, and, with
confidence of Butler’s family. Obtain
ing a room there, the negro made him
self generally agreeable and was re
garded as a “star" until Butler sud
denly awoke to the realization that he
had been smoothly robbed of nearly all
of his valuables. At first he was afraid
to even suspect the black Raffles, but
finally learned enough to cause him to
have the negro arrested.
Raffles did a lot of slick talking to
Judge Broyles, denying all of the

charges.
5 MORE FRATERNAL
RISK COMPANIES ARE
BARRED BY GEORGIA
For failure to comply with the in
surance laws of Georgia, Comptroller
General Wright, in his capacity of in
surance commissioner, today revoked
the licenses of five more fraternal in
surance companies, and barred them
from doing business hereafter in Geor
gia.
The companies outlawed today were
the Fraternal Life Association of At
lanta, the Fraternal Provident Asso
ciation of Atlanta, the Homesteaders of
Des Moines, the National Fraternal
Association of Chicago and the South
ern Protective association of Atlanta
and Montgomery.
This makes a total of twent frater
nals outlawed by Georgia since the new
Insurance law was enacted.
GETS BUT ONE PLAIN
DRESS IN 16 YEARS;
SUES FOR A DIVORCE
Mrs. Willie Bolton, who appeared in
superior court as a divorce plaintiff to
day, does not believe that one simple
gown is a fit recompense for faithful
wlfedom of sixteen long years.
She told the court In her petition that
she had lived with her husband, J. N.
Bolton, since 1896, conducting herself
as an affectionate wife, even giving her
husband all the money she had at the
time of the marriage. Bolton, she said,
came back with the cruelest kind of
treatment, and refused flatly to sup
port her. She asserted he had bought
her but one dress in sixteen years, and
that a very plain affair,

TODAY
Gilbert Finds Peril in Pulling
Down Giant Smokestack and
Hires Work Done.
WOODWARD FORCES TO
ASK WRIT TO HALT MOVE
Mayor Tells Health Board’s
Chief to Go Ahead Without
His Assistance.
Because it appeared too dangerous to
pull down the 175-foot steel smokestack'
of the cremate.iy, Dr. W. L. Gilbert,
president of the board of health, made
a contract with the Atlanta Machine
Company today to have the stack taken
down piece by piece. He said he ex
pected the contract to be signed and
work begun this afternoon. The price
stipulated is $475.
While taking dewn the stack this
way will not demolish the crematory
building, it will render it useless. And
ft would cost many thousands of dol
lars to put the plant back In working
order.
Dr. Gilbert said nothing but an in
junction would stop the work. He add
ed that if the board of health were en
joined from tearing down the plant he
was certain the crematory would not
be used for consuming garbage again.
Dr. Gilbert called on Mayor Winn,
who was in his office today consider
ably improved after his illness, to se
cure aid.
“The board of health has instructed
you to tear down this smokestack. Go
ahead and do it without my assist
ance,” said Mayor Winn.
Dr. Gilbert and the other members
of the board of health believe that if
they wan get the work started on the
new $276,000 crematory James G.
Woodward will not have the nerve to
stop the work by refusing to sign the
check for the payment on the plant
next year.
But they are fearful that if the work
is not begun before Mr. Woodward be
comes mayor he will prevent it from
being begun at all
Woodward Forces
Plan Court Move.
Friends of James G. Woodward de
clared today that the minute efforts
were begun to pull down the stack an
injunction would be filed against the
board of health. It Is. said they have
spies watching the operations around
the crematory, which is between the
Terminal station and the plant of the
Atlanta Gas Light Company, just off of
Marietta street.
Although a number of members of
council are displeased at the arbitrary
attitude taken by the board of health,
they have so far made no effort to block
the board. Aiderman A. H. Van Dyke,
who is an ex-officio member of the
board, said the board could proceed
without interruption so far as he was
concerned. He said he had done his
duty when he prevented an approval of
the contract to tear down the old cre
matory by council. He said, however,
that he would confer with Aiderman
John E. McClelland. who also is a
Woodward supporter, today as to what
to do.
Councilman Orville Hall said the
board of health had better not dare to
demolish the crematory. He said the
crematory was doing good work and
that the members of the board of health
were liable to be held individually re
sponsible if they had the plant de
stroyed without authority from council.
It is expected that if an injunction
suit is filed it will be filed by an out
sider. Aiderman McClelland said he
had been. Informed by one citizen that
he (the citizen) would appeal to the
court for an injunction today.
Hope to Delay Move
Until Woodward Returns.
J H. Welch, an engineer, living at 411
Luckie street, has Intimated to a num
ber of persons that he would file an
injunction to prevent the razing of the
old crematory. He told Aiderman Van-
Dyke that it was absurd to tear down
the stack when it could be repaired
for $l5O so there would be no danger of
its falling. It is estimated by the
health board that It will cost several
hundred dollars to tear down the stack.
The one hope of the Woodward sup
porters is to prevent the demollshment
of the old crematory until Mr. Wood
ward returns from his inspection trip
of garbage plants in the East.
The old crematory cost $38,000. It
was built seven years ago. It burns
about 125 tons of garbage a day. Ac
cording to Manager Shearer, it could
be made almost as good as new for $3,-
000.
I nt 1t occupies the site selected for
the new crematory.

Charged at Strike Hearing That

EFFORTS TO GET RAISES ’
PERILED JOB, SAYS GREGG
Officials of Line Will Vigor-,
ously Deny Charges of the
Chief of Conductors.
That the Georgia railroad official:-!
discharged Conductor J. T. P-.isehal and I
Flagman A. M. Morgan because of the |
activity of the former as a Socialist and
| Chairman of the Order of Railway Con
ductors' committee and the latter as a
former chairman of the Brothernood of !
Railway Trainmen’s committee, and net '
'because Paschal violated rules of the
! company and the Federal government, I
land Morgan juggled an expense ac-I
I count, were charges made at the open- I
Ing session of the board of arbiters in
the judges’ chambers, Federal building,
at noon today.
“We are prepared to shfrw,” declared
T. A. Gregg, "that Paschal was a
‘marked man;’ that on account of his
efforts to get more pay for the conduc
tors and an even scale for trainmen, he
was always in danger. The charge that
he violated the rule and the law were
being used to get him out of the way.
We hold letters from General Manager
Scott, of the- road, showing that this is
true and will produce them later.”
Mr. Gregg read from an open letter
which the union committee sent the
trainmen asking whether a strike
should be called. This asserted that
Morgan was also and that
another man was seeking his job.
Officials to Deny.
Union’s Charges.
Mr. Scott and Superintendent W. is.
Brand, of the road, vigorously denied
the charge and declared that although
their side had not been heard during
the morning, they would refute the
charges at the proper time.
Mr. Scott asserted that he welcomed
the Introduction of the letters.
There was considerable fencing be
tween the respective exponents of cap
ital and labor, including Mr. Scott and
Mr. Brand on the one hand and Mr.
Gregg, vice president of the Order of
Railway Conductors, and James Mur
dock, vice president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen. Charles
A. Wickersham, representing the rail
roads in the court, and F. A. Burgess,
representing the unions, joined in with
questions, and Judge William L. Cham
bers also sought to sift the evidence.
Answering the charge of Mr. Mur
dock that he could not be found for a
conference during the time prior to the
strike and that he had been located in
Atlanta only today, Mr. Scott replied
that there was a reason for turning
over tlie conferences for Mr. Brand to
handle, and that he would explain when
his turn came to talk. Mr. Burgess
lead Mr. Gregg out by asking if the
complaint of the union leaders were not
based on what the workmen had
brought to their ears. Mr. Gregg re
plied that it was, but Mr. Wickersham
wanted to know what the union lead
ers were going to do to bring their wit
nesses into court to make out a con
crete case. Mr. Gregg and Mr. Mur
dock declared they had plenty of wit
nesses, but they didn’t think it neces
sary to call anybody in, and, further
more, said Mr. Murdock, they were
afraid because the men might lose
their jobs.
Scott Says Witnesses
Will Not Be “Fired.”
"We won’t fire anybody who testifies
before this body," interposed Mr. Scott.
"Let them come forward.”
Mr. Murdock read a lot of corre
spondence between himself and Mr.
Gregg and other labor leaders and the
officials of the company, in one letter of
which it was declared that "something
would happen to the road and Mr.
Brand if the men were not reinstated."
Then there was a letter from Mr. Brand
resenting the use of what he called a
threat and pointing to his long experi
ence with committees in justification of
his contention that he had dealt faifly.
Judge Chambers brought out the def
inite charge that the road had resorted
to a subterfuge to get rid of the men.
After listening to the trend of Mr.
Gregg’s argument and declaring that It
was material that concrete evidence b"
introduced to prove dissension among j
the men. Judge Chambers asked: "Is it I

2,000 to Celebrate Lowry Golden Wedding
HONEYMOON OFSOYEARS
Lively “Young” Colonel and
Bride of Half Century Will
Hold Jollification.
More than 2.000 Atlantans who have
received invitations are preparing to
celebrate nt the Capital City club Mon
day night the golden wedding of the
youngest couple that ever reached that
matrimonial milestone, Colonel Robert
J. Lowry and the girl who has shared
his fortunes for 50 years. But thosr
who know the Lowrys best say theli
calendar must have been out for the
speed record, for surely they were no:
wn born 50 years ago. much less mar
ried. Why, the colonel is as lively a
young citizen today as the debutante

set can boast, and ready for any fun,
from the turkey Hot to a possum hunt.
Indeed, it wouldn’t surprise his friends
to see him take up aviation.
But come to think of it, Atlanta cele
brated Ids seventieth birthday a couple
of years ago, and some celebration it
was, too. If Dr. Osler and his chloro
form theory had shown up at the club
that night they’d have been laid on the
table —or under it. The record shows
that Bob Lowry married just after he
cast his first vote, so the calendar may
be right, after all.
But if a man is only as old as he feels
the colonel is just the right age for a
dinky cloth hat with college colors on
the band and one of those stingy plaid
suits, with a surcingle around it. In def
erence to public opinion and the dignity
expected of a banker, Colonel Lowry
wears a regular grown-up suit and
rides in a limousine instead of a racing
car. But his necktie is just as red as
any freshman ever dared to wear and
he absolutely refuses to join his con
temporaries in believing the “old times”
were better than today.
The colonel is a heap more likely to
talk about what he and the rest of At
lanta are going to do twenty years from
now than to hark back to the time
when Sherman burned the town.
A Honeymoon of 50 Years,
Robert J. Lowry—he was Little Bob
Lowry then—came to Atlanta from his
home in the East Tennessee mountains
when he was just a youngster, and for
a long time he was with his father in a
wholesale grocery business on old Loyd
street, just at the foot of Alabama.
Across the railroad tracks at the foot
of Wall street stood the Markham
house, the most magnificent hotel that
the country boy had ever seen. And
in the Markham house were Colonel
Markham and his swallow-tailed coat
and his daughter, Miss Emma Mark
ham. the toast of the town. It wasn’t
long until she became Mrs. Lowry.
That was 50 years ago next Monday,
and it has been a half-century honey
moon. The devotion of Colonel and
Mrs. Lowry is one of the proverbs of
Atlanta. They have made Darby and
Joan and the well known John Ander
son-My-Jo-John look like Nat Good
win’s matrimonial career. Their 50
years have been brimming over with
happiness and good times and hospital
ity.
The Lowrys have been the most royal
entertainers Atlanta has ever known.
The famous balls in the ancient Mark
ham house and later in the Kiinbalf
were not complete unless Mrs. Lowry
was chaperon-ln-chlef and the colonel
led the grand march down the center.
It was Colonel Lowry who brought
the first coach-and - four to Atlanta, and
up to a ear or two ago, when the roads
became too full of ill-smelling motor
cars, the colonel might be seen any
day on the box with four reins gath
ered neatly in his gloved hand, a smart
"tiger" on the rumble with two yards

GOVERNOR THINKS ORDER
WILL CAUSE CONFUSION
Ruling Will Not Bring Any
Change at Atlanta and Other
Large Points. 4
By a vote of 3 to 2, the Traveler*
Protective Association of Georgia, rep
resenting the commercial travelers
generally, has won a qualified victory
before the railroad commission, in its
fight for the "pulling" of mileage on
passenger trains in Georgia, Instead of
the ticket exchange system, now in
vogue.
The order of the commission is up
held by Commissioners Trammell, Hiil
yer and Perry.
It Is dissented from by Chairman
Candler and Commissioner Gray.
The order of the commission is as
follows:
In re: Travelers Protection asso
ciation et al. versus Atlanta and
West Point Railroad Company etal.
Complaint as to regulations gov
erning interchangeable mileage.
Resolved, by the commission, that
all railroads selling mileage or
penny scrip books are hereby re
quired. on and after February 1,
1913, to pull the same on the trains
of the company selling the same,
when presented by the holders for
transportation between points
wholly within the state of Georgia,,
except where passengers board
trains in cities of 10,000 population
or more, according to the United
States census of 1910, in which
places mileage or penny scrip shall
be exchanged for tickets.
Ruling Concludes
A Long Contest.
Tiffs concludes a long fight between
the traveling men on the one hand and
the railroads on the other—a fight that
was won in the legislature and upset by
executive veto, only to be won again, to
a limited degree, before the railroac
commission today.
The order does not apply to inter
changeable mileage, save in its intra
state aspect, and it does not permit the
checking of baggage on mileage strips
to be “pulled.’
It is not applicable to cities of 10,006
and over, hence all traveling by mile
age book out of Atlanta, Macon, Co
lumbus, Rome, Valdosta and other
cities of 10,000 and up. still will come
under the present system of ticket ex
change. ,
It is not such an order, by any means,
as was prayed for, but it will he consid
ered by the traveling men a most grat
ifying victory as far as it goes.
The dissenting opinion of Chairman
Candler and Commissioner Gray is ex
haustive, and particularly significant in
its conclusion, which reads:
We dissent from the order passed
by the majority of the commission.
We believe it not only wrong in
principle, but discriminatory, and
so vague and indefinite in language
as to be wholly impracticable, and
will result in constant friction if
enforced or attempted to be en
forced, if not in the withdrawal en
tirely of two-cent fares in Georgia.
Roads May Withdraw
Mileage in Georgia.
The suggestion in this dissent un
doubtedly is that the railroads may be
expected to follow this order by with
drawing entirely the interchangeable
mileage in Georgia.
If that is done, all fares automat
ically will go back to the legal mini
mum of 2 1-2 cents instead of 2 cents,
as is now the voluntary interchangeable
rate.
Governor Brown, whose veto of the
mileage "pulling” bill, which passed the
last legislature, so aroused the travel
ing men, would not discuss the order
passed by the commission today, other
than to say that he would rest satisfied
neither to add to nor take from his po
sition as outlined in his veto message.
Hi- believes the order will result in
endless confusion and that under its
operation the last estate of the travel
ing public will be worse than Its first,
but he will have no public criticism to
pass upon the commission’s act.
The fact that the final status of the
traveling men’s fight for mileage "pull
ing" in Georgia finds Chairman Candler
and Governor Brown largely on com
arm ground Is extremely interesting
Tiie commission’s order will go into
effect on February 1. and it is final and
conclusive.
