Great Loving Cup of Gold One
of Many Tokens Given
Happy Couple.
A great loving cup of purest gold, a
heavy tablet of the same precious met
al, wonderful masses of exquisite bou
quets and perhaps a thousand letters in
a thousand handwritings filled the cen
ter table in the apartments of Colonel
and Mrs. Robert J. Lowry today, as
they began their second 50 years of life
together. When their next half century
is completed perhaps they’ll have a
radium wedding—but who knows what
the fashion will be then?
The loving cup. the work of Charles
W. Crankshaw. was the gift of 187
loyal friends and was presented by
Captain James W. English at the re
ception at the Capital City club last
night. It bore an inscription of love
and a bit of a poem by Frank Stanton
and was filled to the brim with wine.
The tablet, engraven with an expres
sion of affection and esteem, came from
the men of the Lowry bank, while the
flowers were gifts of a thousand
friends.
The golden wedding of the Lowrys
was by fjir the most beautiful, as it
was the most elaborate, affair which
has taken place at the new qlub house,
a suitable setting for such a gathering.
The most beautiful costumes, the most
gorgeous gowns, the most exquisite
flowers ever seen at an Atlanta social
event were there. Perhqps 2,000 of the
’most prominent men and women of
Georgia society were the guests. The
reception began at 4 o'clock and con
tinued until after midnight.
Mrs. Lowry Dressed as Bride.
Mrs. Lowry was dressed as a bride

out a hurrah for Colonel Roosevelt in
the event the Bull Moose leader was
chosen president.
As everybody knows, Wilson was
elected; so Lanier carried out his
promise and attracted a whole lot of
attention on Broad street when he
yelled at the top of nls voice for the
president-elect. He more than paid the
bet in full and with three other Moosers
cried out this verse:

“Present Crematory Contract-
Will Never Be Carried Out,”
He Wires to Allies.
TELLS VAN DYKE TO
BLOCK DESTRUCTION!
Political Circles Stirred by First
Word From Nominee on i
Mysterious Trip. <
The crematory fight took a rather;
sensational turn today with the receipt j
of a telegram from Mayoralty Nomi-|
nee James G. Woodward by Aldermant
A. 11. Van Dyke. The message read:
New York. Nov. 11.
Why such activity on the part of
Gilbert and others? Are they fear
ful of honest results? Use all
means at your command to pre
vent old crematory being injured In
any way. Present Contract will
never be carried out. I hope to
reach Atlanta by Thursday next.
J. G. WOODWARD
This is the first news that any official
of Atlanta has had from Mr. Wood- j
ward since he left the city a week ago '
on a mysterious trip through the East. I
He said he would investigate garbage,
disposal systems, but his itinerary has
been kept secret from every one ex
cept the members of his family
Van Dyke Asks
QJd Plant Be Reopened.
Alderman Van Dyke said he under
stood Mr. Woodward to refer to the
$276,000 contract of the Destructor
Company, of New York, for a new gar
bage disposal plant by “present con
tract.”
Aiderman Van Dyke today wrote the
following letter to Dr. W. D. Gilbert, j
president of the city board of health:
Inasmuch as nothing can be done
toward tearing down the old cre
matory for at least ten days; and
whereas there is no good or valid
reason why the garbage of the city
should not be disposed of In the
present crematory. I respectfully
ask and request, in the name of the
citizens and tax payers of the city
of Atlanta, that you withdraw your
arbitrary order and reopen the cre
matory at once.
Very respectfully,
A. H. VANDYKE
Chairman of the Committee of
Sanitary Affairs and ex-Officio
member of the board of health.
Aiderman Van Dyke said he would
seek a mandamus from the courts to
force the board of health to resume the
use of the crematory if his request was
not compiled with.
Winn Refuses to
Get Into Controversy.
Dr. Gilbert sought aid from Mayor
Winn to get possession of the old cre
matory, that the Destructor Company
might begin work on the new plant.
Mayor Winn replied that he intended to
leave the city tomorrow for a rest in
Florida, and that he would not get in
volved in the crematory fight.
Dr. Gilbert will appeal to Acting
Mayor John S. Candler for help.
“I was ordered by the board of he.alth
to stop the use of the old crematory,"
said Dr. Gilbert today, “and I will not
rescind that order without instructions
from the board of health or a court oi -
der. The board meets Friday.”
Leading clubwomen at a meeting yes
terday afternoon entered Into the fight,
expressing indignation at the delay of
city officials in providing some system
of garbage disposal. Among those who
made talks on the subject were Mrs. .1.
K. Ottley, Mrs. Sam D. Jones. Mrs.
Charles J, Thaden and Mrs. Thomas B.
Felder.
The Woodward forces, who won their
first victory with the halting by Judge
Pendleton of the board of health's plan
to tear down the huge smokestack of
the old plant, await the home-coming
of their leader for the renewal of the
tight.
The Chamber of Commerce probably
will take a hand in the crematory row
at an early date. One called meeting
to consider the question has been held
by th<- directors of the chamber.
The directors yesterday took no ac
tion because of the pending decision
of Judge J. T. Pendleton, who an hour
Inter granted an injunction restraining
the li'iard of henlth from taming dov.u
