250 GOOD ROODS
EVANGELISTS IN
CONVENTION
Many Suggestions for the Im
provement of Dixie's High
ways Offered.
The men who made motoring worth
while in th. South cam. to Atlanta to
day—2so of them—to talk about mac
adam, oiled surfaces and crushed rock 1
at the Southern Appalachian Good ;
Roads convention which opened at the ;
Piedmont hotel at 9:30 o’clock. They
came from the mountain highways of
Virginia and the shell roads of the gulf
coast, and each one of them had an
idea of his own for making roads
smoother, stronger and more lasting.
The accumulated road wisdom of these
convention delegates would fill a li
brary.
Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, of North Car
olina, state geologist and president of
the association, was one of the first
members on the field, and he hi ought
with him a trunk full of plate and
maps on road work which he proceeded
to hang in the convention hall. Others
arrived with photographs designed to
make auto owners take on an extra
supply of gas and start for the state
where the pictured rogds await the
hum of the motor. But Atlantans who
looked them over and talked to the
visitors say none of the exhibits lias
anything on Fulton county's highways
and they propose to prove it on a two
hour spin tomorrow morning, when the
visitors will be shown what convict
built highways are.

BRYAN TO BERMUDA
TO ADVISE WILSON
ON FUTURE POLICY
HAMILTON, HEItMI'DA, Nov. 20.
The forthcoming visit of William Jen
nings Bryan to President-elect Wilson
is expected to have a marked influence
upon the next national administration
in tlie United States.
That Mr. Bryan is coming to discuss
possible future government policies Is
unquestioned, and It will not come as a
surprise If Mr. Bryan himself accepts
the portfolio of secretary of state and
also helps select the other members of
the cabinet.
There is a possibility that the presi
dent-elect may cut short his visit here
ami go'nwav to avoid the social whirl
into which he is being drawn against
his will. Although it was the expressed
wish of Governor Wilson "that he be
let alone" during his stay here so that
he might get a real rest, invitations are
pouring In upon him and it now seems
improbable for the governor to escape
a great state dinner which the governor
of Bermuda, Lieutenant General Sir
Gem ge M. Bullock, is said to be plan
ning in hie honor.

ANDREWS STAR
OF FLIING MEET
“Mlle. .Boucicault,” Wearing
Bath Robe and Red Hose,
Fails to Thrill Crowd.
Charlie Wiggins will hold a second
“aviation meet” at the Speedway this
afternoon, according to the announce
ment made at the end of the flying late
yesterday. Mrs. Rodgers will fly with
him in the one-man machine, Eugene
Savage will jump from an aeroplane in
a parachute, a-;d there will be automo
bile races—all this according to ad
vance literature, which is not guaran
teed.
"Mademoiselle Camille Boueicault”
will not fly. She “died” yesterday aft
ernoon. Attired in a bath robe and red
stockings, not to speak of the helmet
which descended from the times of
the ancient Romans, she appeared in al!
her manly splendor on the Speedway,
and a big roar of derision went up. The
muchly advertised, dainty little French
bird-woman was none other than the
robust Charlie Wiggins, clad in very
ill-fitting female toggery. "She" flew,
much to the amusement of the grand
stand, but “her” exciting stunts elicited
little applause from the ungallant men
.standing about.
Contrary to announcement, the fly
ing did not begin until after 3 o’clock,
though it was scheduled an hour ear
lier. Wiggins, in his Wright biplane
in which Rodgers flew across the conti
nent, at last rose from the track and
soared about for some fifteen minutes,
finally landing in a field. Thornwell
Andrews followed in his Curtiss ma
chine and did some daring stunts, prov
ing to begthe real feature of the after
noon. Everything from wild dips to
tremendous banks was shown in his
repertoire, and at the end he drew long
applause from the spectators.
Wiggins Near Accident.
The only thrill of the afternoon came
when Wiggins almost flew into the
grandstand as he was rising for a flight.
Every one held their breath, and
Wiggins himself plainly was startled,
but by swift manipulation of the levers
he escaped and. went hurtling off to
ward Atlanta. This time his flight was
more interesting.
An automobile race was announced,
and two cars started around the track,
one being given a start of 100 yards.
It held its lead for two laps, but dis
appeared on the third. The last car
won in four minutes and thirty sec
onds for four miles. The other eat ap
peared some time later.
Owing to the lack of excitement, it
finally was decided that "Mlle. Bouci
cault" should fly and just at ’dusk “she”
went up. That ended the performance.

that Honan was left alone, Farrell
thiew bricks and stories at him. Rela
tives heard the tight and came to Far
rell’s aid. The two women fought des
perately. They rushed the officer and
finally Honan was forced to shoot, he
says, in self-defense.
