McClelland Pleads For Saving

Judge Joan T. Pendleton this after
bion granted an injunction restraining
lie Board of Health from tearing down
,he huge smokestack on the okl crema
,ry. over which political factions in
Atlanta have been wrangling for many
weeks.
The granting of the order to Alder-
. n McClelland is a nominal victory
for the Woodward forces, and will de
ar the destruction at least until the
.vor-elect returns from the West,
■.vliere he has been making a tour of
nvestigatlon.
At the same time that the writ
gainst the Health Board was granted,
■lie temporary order against the city
s rescinded. The court pointed out
hat the order was granted because
be Health Board wanted to tear down
•1 . smokestack as a menace to life. If
t had sought to condemn the entire
■'ant as a nuisance it would have Been

Reno Divorce Mills to

Result of *l2 Election
Waves of Reform Strikes Nevada.
Legislature Pledged to More
Stringent Laws.
RENO, NEV., Nov. 11.—The Reno di
vorce mills will probably be permanent
ly closed after the first of the year, as
a result of the reform wave that has
swept the country. One of the sur
prising results of the recent election is
the selection of a legislature with a
majority opposed to the present lax
state divorce laws and pledged to the
enactment of stringent statutes.
Under the present laws thousands of
people have come to the state to secure
divorces.
ITALIAN GANG SLEW
GIRL FOR REVENGE IS
NEW POLICE THEORY
GEORGETOWN, CONN., Nov. 11.—
That the young woman whose body
was found early Saturday- morning In
the mill pond near here was murdered
for revenge by a gang of Italians and
that the murder was committed at some
distance from the scene where the
corpse was found and brought to the
scene in a wagon, was clearly estab
lished by the state police today.
Little progress has been made toward
positive identification of the body. The
initials. “G. C.,” embroidered on cloth
wrapped around the body and the gold
ring which the woman wore furnish
practically the only clews to her Iden
tity.
The theory that the woman was killed
as an informer in the local liquor raids
of a week ago is believed to have been
practically- abandoned and Prosecutor
Bars, of Danbury, says that no woman
gave any evidence.
WEATHER EXPERTS
EXPECTED TO BRING
RAIN WITH THEM
•Weather Forecaster VonHerrmann, of
the Atlanta bureau, is scanning the sky
with a dubious eye this afternoon and
sadly shaking his head.
‘‘Too many cooks spoil the broth,” he
remarked. “Have you ever seen two
prettier day-s than Sunday and today?
I never have. Tomorrow is going to be
the same, too.”
‘'Why are you looking so worried,
then?” queried the reporter.
“Because all the weather sharps are
coming,” responded the local guesser.
“Thirteen pf the weather bureau ex
perts are going to meet in Atlanta this
week. As a result, the whole thing has
become muddled an<i now we’re going
to have wet, sloppy rain all day Wed
nesday. It doesn’t do to haye too many
fingers in pie pie,” he sighed.
AUGUSTA PREACHER
AND NEWSPAPER MAN
HAVE STREET FIGHT
AUGUSTA, GA., Nov. 11.—J. Marvin
Haynie, city editor of The Augusta
Chronicle, and Rev. Osa P. Gilbert,
pastor of the Second Baptist church,
had a physical encounter at noon to
day in the heart of the business dis
trict, while hundreds looked on. Both
participants were arrested and must
face Recorder Irvin tomorrow morning.
The disagreement arose over the pub
lication of a church notice. The two
met at noon and Haynie repeated what
he had said over the telephone. The
minister made a pass at the newspaper
man and the two clinched and fell to
the sidewalk. When the police arrived
the honors were about even.

LIVE ‘DEAD’ IMII
MAY FACE TRIAL
That Augustus J. Fenn, the promi
nent south Georgia lumberman who
disappeared several years ago and was
reported drowned, may be prosecuted
in the Georgia courts for conspiracy to
defraud two Insurance companies was
Intimated by an officer of the Southern
States Life Insurance Company today.
R. H. Roberts, one of the men who
swore in open court that he saw Fenn
fall out of an open boat and disappear
beneath the waters of the Appalachi
cola river one moonlight night almost
three years ago, already has been lodg
ed In the Crisp founty jail charged with
perjury and his partner, J. S. Land,
who swore to the same thing, is being
sought by the officials of the county on
the same charge.
The officials of the Southern States
Life expect the trial to bring out some
unusual developments. If their expec
tations are fulfilled. Fenn, who now is
in Texas or Mexico, will be appre
hended by detectives and brought back
to Georgia to face the charge of con
spiracy. He was released at New Or
leans several weeks ago after being
found at the end of a two-year search
by.the Pinkerton detective*.
Land, who was said to have been in
the boat with Roberts and Fenn, has
disappeared and no trace of him can be
found In Crisp county or the surround
ing’ country. Roberts, who Is in jail,
absolutely refuses to talk. The insur
ance officers say they will prove that
but two men started down the river in
the boat, those two being Land and
Roberts, and that Fentj framed it up
with the two to pretend that he was
drowned.
When Fenn was apprehended in New
Orleans, his wife, who actually believed
him drowned, according to the insur
ance officials, was winning a suit for
$15,000 life insurance which he carried.
The trial of Roberts and of Land, if
he is caught, will take place at the next
term of the Crisp superior court. If at
that time a conspiracy is proved the
insurance company will seek to havt
Fenn returned and sent to the peniten
tiary for conspiracy to defraud.

NEW YORK. Nov. 11.—The greatest
array of operatic talent that ever reach
ed this city at one time arrived last
week aboard the steamer Kronprinz
Wilhelm.
With more decorations than his broad
chest could display, Enrico Caruo came
smiling down the gangplank inquiring
the result of the election. When told
that Woodrow Wilson represented the
people's choice, he replied:
“It suits me, but I should have been
just as satisfied to see any one else
elected. What’s the difference to an
artist? Politics and opera have noth
ing in common.”
Caruso would not talk of the law suit
which he won in Milan. The only top
ic that interested him was the number
of decorations presented to him by
European royalties.
During the summer he sang in Vien
na, Stuttgart, Munich. Berlin and Ham
burg. The German emperor, who heard
Caruso sing in one of Puccini’s operas,
sent for and decorated him with the
Order of the Red Eagle. A week later
<he king of Wurtemberg bestowed the
Art and Science medal, and a month
later he received the Order of St. Mich
ael from the Prince Regent of Bavaria.
Geraldine Farrar, looking more
charming than ever, despite the fact
that she has been ill in Berlin, de
clared she was in better vpice than
ever. The announcement of Scotti’s en
gagement to Charlotte Ives was news

PFINAL
SMOKEBOARDTD
GET FINAL TEST
Commissioner Oscar Elsas. who
called a halt on the plan of the com
mission to force owners of offending
plants to comply with the smoke ordi
nance, has urged critics of the smoke
commission to stay their judgments
until after the meeting tomorrow. He
told Councilman Smith that he would
convince all reasonable persons that
he was working sincerely to abate the
nuisance in Atlanta.
Facing abolishment by council, the
smoke commission will meet tomorrow
afternoon at 4 o’clock to make a final
decision as to its attitude on the war to
abate the smoke nuisance.
Both R. M. Harwell, chairman of the
smoke commission, and Councilman
Charles W. Smith, father of the smoke
ordinance, said today that the next
move in their fight to have the smoke
commission abolished would be deter
mined by the action of the board to
morrow afternoon.
To Force Board's Hand.
Chairman Harwell said he would force
the hand of the commission by bringing
definite cases of violations of the smoke
ordinance before it. He said he would
see if the commission was willing to
take any more cases to the recorder's
court.
“But I can foresee little hope of get
ting any good results with some of the
members of the commission so obvi
ously opposed to enforcing the smoke
ordinance," he said.
Councilman Smith said today that
his whole desire in the matter was to
eliminate the smoke evil. He said that
he virtually had been convinced that
the smoke commission was not working
to this end, and that he had prepared
an ordinance to abolish the commission.
But he said he was open to convic
tion, and that he had no desire to abol
ish the commission If it proved that it
would work In good faith to enforce the
law.

Majority of New House of Rep

Tariff Revision. t
PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 11.—That
he has finally decided to call an extra
session of congress to take up the
promise of tariff revision after he takes
his seat on March 4 was indicated by
President-elect Wilson today-. How
ever, the governor*proposes to continue
the attitude of a listener for a few days
more at least, though it will not be sur
prising if the governor announced his
determination to call an extra session
before leaving for his vacation Satur
day.
When the question of an extra ses
sion was put to the governor he re
marked :
“The consensus of opinion In favor of
an extra session is very interesting In
deed. I have been much Impressed by
it. I have heard very little opposition
to the extra session. The demand for
an extra session appears to be nation
wide. I had fully intended not to an
notlhce what I propose to do in regard
to calling an extra session until I got
back from my vacation, but I may have
to do so earlier. However, I want to
hear more expressions on the subject.’’
It is known that during the past few
days the governor has received many
letters and telegrams from leading
Democrats throughout the country urg
ing him to announce his decision at
once.
House Members
Map Program
WASHINGTON, Nov. IL—A poll of
Democratic members of the new house
of representatives shows a decided
majority in favor of calling an ex
tra session of congress to revise the
tariff.
Leaders of the party now in Wash
ington declared today that this un
doubtedly- would have great weight
with President-elect Wilson, who has
stated that he is in a “listening” at
titude. The call for tariff revision,
they- say, will go forth as soon as
Mr. Wilson assumes office.
So sure are they of this that a
definite program has been mapped
out;
1— Revision downward of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, which was
one of the great issues in the pre
election campaign.
2 The continuance of Champ
Clark as speaker of the house.
3 The continuation of Oscar W.
Underwood, majority leader of the
house.
Plans Forming
For Party Control.
Following tho assurance that the
Democrats will control the senate foi
the purpose of legislation and the pros
ecution of ordinary partisan legisla
tion. lines are already being laid for
control within the party. This fore
shadows a sharp struggle betw-een the
so-called progressive element of the
party for the control of committee ma
chinery of the upper house.
Rumors of the impending clash
based upon sentiments privately ex
pressed by the progressive Democrats
were supr .-ted tty the arrival in
Washington of William Jennings
Bryan and the announcement, that
Colonel Bryan would remain here prob
ably a week. Colonel Bryan inspir
ed and dlcected the organization of the
Democratic progressive senators at the
beginning of the present congress into
a combination opposing the election of
Senator Martin, of Virginia, as minor
ity leader.
Congress, after March 4. will be dom
inated by progressives Democratic in
fluence, In the opinion of Mr. Bryan,
who is In Washington on his way to
Florida with Mrs. Bryan. The Com
moner, however, declined to give an
oplniort on the extra session question or
to say whether he will accept or reject
a place in President-elect Wilson’s cab
inet.
“Mr. Wlleon has discussed and em
