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 TRIAL OF 4 GUNMEN 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.

POLIGESLAY BURGLAR AS HE RIFLES STORE Officers Are Attacked When They Discover Robber at Work Redhanded. DIES, UNIDENTIFIED. ON WAY TO GRADY HOSPITAL 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.

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.” PENNILESS HEIR HEARS OF LEGACY OF A $37,500 FARM DANVILLE, ILL., Nov. 13.—When William Schneider, sick for two years and penniless, at El Paso, Texas, re ceives a letter from Harry Freeman, clerk of the Vermillion county probate court, he will learn for the first time that he has been willed a farm in the sugar corn region near Hoopston, this county, worth $37,500.

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 ture.

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.

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.
