DANVILLE, ILL., Nov. 9.—To cele brate the defeat of Uncle Joe Cannon ’for congress, more than 1,000 persons gathered in the streets of Sidell, near here, Thursday night and witnessed the burning in effigy of the ex-speaker. The effigy was carried through the streets on a stretcher and later set on fire in the principal street of the town. Cannon left late on the night of the election for a trip to the West Indies, saying before he left that the official count would return him to congress. 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 erybody’s Doing It.” 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 quickly ingratiated himself into the an oily tongue and suave manners, 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, OTHER GAMES Firs; qum ter: Tech 0, Sewanee 0. First Half Yale 0.

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.

MEN MARKED BY GEORGIA R.R..SAY UNIONS Charged at Strike Hearing That Road Picked Paschal Be cause He Was Socialist. 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 or Is it not your contention that the I activity of the men and not their viola - ! tion of the rules as charged ua the I cause of their (Recharge ?" 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 'lol IL 7 ? “V- ' -/mMBp ■. ci® Mrs. Robert -J. Lowry. 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 i of brass horn a-tooting merrily, and | the whole coach overflowing with the | prettiest girls who could be gathered > within a radius of 100 miles.

THOROUGH PROBE OF ALMS HOUSE WILL BE MADE FIRST OF YEAR As a result of criticism directed at the management of tlte Fulton county almshouse, Shelby Smith, chairman of the committee on alms and juveniles, has«b°en authorized by the commission to employ a matron to look after the inmates and also the women confined in the female convict camp located near the home. It has been planned by the board to make a sweeping investigation of alms house affairs the first of the year, and a complete change In the present man agement is predicted. Because of this situation the commission decided to employ a matron temporarily. ELECTRICIAN TURNER UNFAIR IN OFFICE, SAY “MOVIE”MACHINE MEN J. A. Hineff, F. L. Hudson and J. O.

They de ciare that he sometimes grants licenses without calling a meeting of the board of motion picture examiners. The council committee on electric lights yesterday refused to act on the charges, deciding It was a matter for council to handle. The committee also delayed a consideration of the bid of the Georgia Railway and Power Com pany for the city’s street lighting con tract, which bld Electrician Turner at tacked as being excessive.

HOHL EDITION 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE P ** R N E ° TRAYELEBS WIN PART MILEAGE VICTORY Persons Boarding Trains ai Towns Under 10,000 May Give Books as Fare. 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.
