S. CAROLINA FRIENDS
BUY BOYHOOD HOME
FOR NEXT PRESIDENT
TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 13. —Presi-
dent-elect Woodrow Wilson has been
invited to spend his winters at Co
lumbia, S. C., his old home. William
E. Gonzales, editor of The Columbia
State; Mayor W. H. Gibbs, Dr. S. C.
Mitchell, president of the University
of South Carolina: J. E. Swearing, state
superintendent of education, and James
'Woodrow, a cousin of Mr. Wilson and
an instructor in the University of
South Carolina, officially informed him
of the purchase by admirers in that
state of his boyhood home and that It
was being remodeled for his use as a
winter home. It is probable that the
Wilsons will spend part of their win
ters there.
‘‘lt’s a very pretty sentiment,” said
the president-elect. ‘‘When I was a
half grown boy my father built a house
in Columbia which my mother alto
gether planned, and, of course, I re
member all the details of its building
and the development of the little piece
of property. In that little Southern
home I had perhaps the largest num
ber of my boyhood associations. Os
course, I expect to have my same old
room when I return to the old home
stead.”
MARQUARD SUED FOR
$25,000.00 DAMAGES BY
HUSBAND OF ACTRESS
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—Joseph Kane,
an actor and theatrical booking agent,
brought suit today in the supreme court
tor $25.00(1 against ‘‘Rube” Marquard,
the star pitcher of the New York
Giants, alleging alienation of affections
of Mrs. Kane, who is known on the
stage as Blossom Seeley.
Kane signed up Marquard after the
baseball season to appear in a baseball
sketch in vaudeville with Mrs. Kane. It
was not long, Mr. Kane alleges, until
his friends told him that “Rube’s” in
terest in his fair stage partner was
more than platonic.
Kane had the pair watched and last
week traced them to Atlantic City,
where he and a private detective raided
a hotel where, he alleged, Marquard
and the woman were stopping together.
Mrs. Kane and Marquard fled down
the Are escape and came to New York
in an automobile, leaving the outraged
husband behind in Atlantic City busily
engaged in swearing out warrants
against the noted southpaw.
Kane further alleges that he discov
ered that Marquard and Mrs. Kane
were pretending to be man and wife
while traveling.
JEALOUS HUSBAND
KILLS HIS CHILD FOR
REVENGE ON WIFE
CHICAGO, Nov. 13.—Police today are
seeking Charles Rose, aged 57, who
smothered his two-year-old daughter,
Beatrice, and left a note saying he mur.
dered the child to revenge himself on
her mother, who was, he said, unfaith
ful to him.
The murder of the child was discov
ered by her mother. The little girl was
found in the bed, pillows covering her
face.
The mother said she was afraid of
her husband, who had threatened to
kill her, and that she remained away
from home all night. She discovered
the body late yesterday afternoon. Rose
had disappeared. Rose is said to have
been insanely jealous of his wife.
JACK ROSE REPEATS
TALE OF KILLING AT

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—Jack Rose,
star witness in the Becker case, took
the stand today at the trial of the four
gunmen accused of murdering Herman
Rosenthal and calmly told how he had
negotiated for the services of the slay
ers.
When the defendants entered the
court room they had lost much of their
air of bravado as a result of damaging
blows the defense had received.
In a monotonous singsong voice Rose
told his story of hiring the gunmen to
kill Rosenthal at the urgent request of
Charles Becker, the ex-police lieuten
ant on whom Rosenthal had squealed.

Fusillade of Shots Follow When
Patrolmen Are Assaulted
With Iron Bar.
M, O. Wiley, plainclothes officer, was
just about to try the front door of C.
Smith’s store, 126 Forrest avenue, early
today when it new open and a negro
burglar emerged with a heavy iron bar
in his hand.
The negro struck viciously at the of
ficer, tearing his clothes and wounding
him in the abdomen. He turned to run
but Wiley’s revolver sent a bullet
speeding after him. Officer Davis,
across the street, joined in .the fusil
lade, and the negro ran two blocks
through an alley and fell. He died on
the way to Grady hospital a half hour
later, without revealing his name.
Burglar Ready
For Officers.
Wiley and Davis were patroling the
street before dawn and testing the
doors, as usual. The negro must have
heard their approach, or perhaps hap
pened to leave the store just as Wiley
reached the door. The burglar had
broken the lock with the three-foot
bar of Iron, and he still carried the bar
as a weapon.
Wiley’s watch chain was tom in two
by the force of the blow, his clothing
was ripped for six inches, and a painful
gash was torn in his flesh. But he
kept to his feet, drew his police re
volver, and fired at the fleeing burglar.
Davis, who was testing the doors on
the opposite side of the street, fired
just afterward. A bullet had pene
trated the burglar's heart when he was
found, and it is not known which offi
cer’s aim had proved true.
Robber Not
Yet Identified.
Assistant Chief Jett and Captain Ter
ry were notified and went to the scene
in the police automobile. They picked
up the dying man and rushed him to
Grady hospital, but he died before
reaching it.
A card bearing the name “Charley
Cook” Is the only clew to his identity.
The body was taken to Howard’s un
dertaking establishment, where Coroner
Paul Donehoo will hold an inquest lat
er in the day.

HOKE SMITH KOT
IOCUTPIEALDNE
Senator Declares Colleague,
Bacon, and Congressmen
Will Help in the Dealing.
United States Senator Hoke Smith
gallantly announced today that when it
came to distributing pie (and there is
about $250,000 worth to be divided
among Georgia patriots) his colleague,
Senator Bacon, and the various Geor
gia congressmen were every bit as able
handlers of the political pastry as he is.
Furthermore, the senator gave as
surances that it was far from his hum
ble ambitions to run the pantry—which
may or may not be construed as a gen
tle hint to persistent patriots to ad
dress a little of their mail elsewhere
than to Senator Smith, whose conscien
tious secretary is being overworked
these days.
Senator Smith passed through the
city today and talked with the presi
dents of the State Colleges of Agricul
ture in session at the Piedmont about
the bill providing for the extension de
partment of the agricultural colleges
now pending in the senate. He left for
Macon at 12:20 to take part in the mid
dle Georgia celebration of Wilson’s
election. Before he left he made this
statement about the various pie stories
recently printed in The Georgian:
Not Seeking to Control Pie.
“I am sorry you published the article.
If taken seriously, it would place me in
a false light. I advocated the. nomina
tion of Governor Wilson only because I
believed he would prove when nomi
nated the strongest candidate, and be
cause he stood for progressive action.
“Your article was calculated to create
the impression that I was seeking to
control the Georgia patronage.
“I shall always be glad to serve my
friends, and to serve the people of
Georgia, and to help comply with their
desires, but it would do me great injus
tice to suppose that in anj' way I would
wish to Interfere with the influence
that will justly follow recommendations
by Senator Bacon, and by the Georgia
congressmen, and by others whose rec
ommendations deserve consideration. 1
have no desire to control patronage.
"Office filling and recommendations
for offices are the hardest part of offi
cial life. I enjoy study and labor over
legislative questions, but when it comes
to discriminating between friends in
making recommendations it is a hard
task, and I shall be caused much more
regret on account of the failure to rec
ommend friends who wish places than I
will from the pleasure due to recom
mendations which I can make.”

Atlanta is the home of the youngest

She’s just two years old.
This wee "business woman” is pretty

remarkable ideas of planning for the
future.
Notwithstanding her “tiny age.” this
baby “business woman” has determined
that she muts be saving, and has set
about to amass a fortune for the fu

ing tier pennies, nickels and dimes for
candles and other sweets —the custo
mary "fortune” of the ordinary tot—
this little girl is "salting away" her
pennies, nickels and dimes and is daily
building wealth.
In order that she may do this sys
tematically. Miss Ruby- has opened an
account in the Central Bank and Trust
Corporation branch, at Forsyth and
Mitchell streets, where once every
month she is taken by her father and
mother to deposit iter savings. She has
a bank book all in her own name and
she’s prouder of it than of her big,
flaxen-haired doll—if such a thing is
possible.
Every time little Miss Ruby is given

GEES U.S. TO
FIGHT FOR CHILD
Three thousand miles Is a long dis
tance, but it has not deterred Mrs.
Miriam Craig, an attractive matron of
Atlanta and Oakland, Cal., from con
tinuing the long legal battle for the
custody of her four-year-old child,
which began in the Fulton courts a
year ago, switched to Nashville, Tenn.,
and came back to the Atlanta courts
for final adjudication today.
Mrs. Craig, who arrived at the Geor
gian Terracey esterday, won the second
stage of her fight this morning when
Judge Pendleton cited her husband, Roy
H. Craig, of Atlanta, Southern agent
of the Galena Oil Company, to appear
in superior court and show cause why
he should not be fined for contempt.
Craig had failed to pay his wife $75 a
month alimony ordered by the jurist
on October 25, 1911.
But it is the custody of her child that
most concerns ikrs. Craig. She freely
admitted that she made the long trip
from Oakland, entered the home of her
husband's parents in Nashville, and
came to Atlanta to contest his divorce
petition, only to gain legal possession
of the little girl.
It was Mrs. Craig who startled fash
ionable Garland avenue, in Nashville,
on August 22, by entering her mother
in-law's house in the. night and at
tempting to abduct the little girl, who
had been awarded to her husband by
the Fulton court.
Mis. Craig carried on a terrible en
counter in her mother-in-law’s home
to get possession of tlie child, and was
thrown bodily from the house, only to
fav a charge of kidnaping preferred
against her by her husband. Site coun
tered by causing her husband's arrest
oh a'churge of assault with Intent to
murder, but both charges were ilistiilss

CHIEF ROUTS
FIRST FIGHT
ON HIS
RULE
Attempt to Name Sergeants
Over His Head Is Turned
Down by Commission.
LEE SMITH, A MASON MAN,
LEADS CAUSE OF BEAVERS
Supposed Woodward Strength
Can Muster But Two Votes
When Test Comes.
An unsuccessful effort to break the
power of Chief of Police James L.
Beavers, by snatching from him the
•right to recommend officers for promo
tion on the force, was made last night
at the meeting of the police commis
sion when Commissioners W. G. Hum
phrey and George E. Johnson, in the
face of the chief’s announced choice,
each nominated “their man” for the job
of station sergeant. In the oft-dis
cussed line-up of the commissioners
under the new regime next year, Com
missioners Humphrey and Johnson
have been placed with the Woodward
minority, the faction which is supposed
to oppose Chiqf Beavers’ policies.
The chief's recommendations last
night were backed up overwhelmingly.
This action is regarded by the majority
to mean that the chief continues to be
the real head of the department. Act
ing Mayor Candler voted with the chief
each time.
The nominees of the chief. Detective
George C. Bullard and Patrolman B. J.
Sells, were elected as station sergeants.
J. E. Chandler, special investigator in
the chief's office, who was nominated
by Mr. Humphrey, received one vote—
that of Mr. Humphrey. Patrolman
Frank Whitley, nominated by Mr. John
son, received one vote—that of Mr.
Johnson.
Smith Defends
Chief's Authority.
This clash over the chiefs authority
proved to be the only bubble on an
otherwise serene session. It lasted but
a few minutes, but every moment of it
was lively. Commissioner B. Lee
Smith, regarded as one of the strongest
supporters of Chairman Mason, led the
fight for the chief, making an appeal
against any move to “cripple” the pow
er of the chief.
This body has gone on record as
making the chief of police the real chief
and indorsing his recommendations for
promotion, and there’s no reason why
he should not name the officers for
promotion in this Instance*” declared
Smith. “In fact, we have been requir
ing the chief to name his choice for
promotion, feeling that he is better ac
quainted with the qualifications of the
men than we are, and I insist that he.
name the two men for station ser
geants.”
Mr. Humphrey asserted that the for
mer action of the commission in calling
on the chief to make recommendations
for promotion is not binding, and that
it is the privilege of any member of
the commission to put forth a candi
date.
Standing flat-footed on this proposi
tion, Mr. Humphrey said:
"I nominate Mr. J. E. Chandler for
the position of station sergeant. I have -
watched his work for a long while and I
know that he is a capable and deserv
ing officer. I sincerely hope this com
mission will elect him.”
Insists On Beavers
Naming Sergeant.
Mr. Smith was again on his feet.
"We have been guided in the past by
the chief’s recommendations, and I in
sist that he name the man,” he said.
When the formal demand was made
Chief Beavers nominated Detective
Bullard.
Mr. Humphrey kept Chandler’s name
in the ring, and an aye and nay vote
was taken, resulting in the sustaining
of the chief.
The chief was then asked to name a
man for the other station sergeant’s
job.
“I name Mr. B. J. Sells," said ths
chief.
Mr. Johnson quickly followed with
his nomination.
“I want to name Patrolman Frank
Whitley." he said.
Again the aye and nay vote, and
again the same result.
The trial of Policeman J W. Camp
for alleged drunkenness at the time he
shot and killed his fellow officer. Po
liceman S. V Belding, was postponed
until the next regular meeting Thin
! was done because of the illness of Dr.
| Longlno. one of the main witnesses for
i the prosecution. Camp uas present
