DeLoaeh, the manufacturer, took a thrilling rid, today’ at noon on the police auto while several hundred excited persons at Pryor and Decatur streets looked on. It was an involuntary ride on the part of Mr. DeLoach, although he was not under arr< st by any means It was a ride for lift . Air. DeLoach started across Decatur street at Pryor and Jiad to pass close behind a traffic jam. As he emerged, the police auto came along, and Mr. DeLoach found himself directly In Its path. The big car was so close on him that he didn’t have time to get out of the w’ay there was but one thing for him to do, and he did it. "ith a tigerlike leap, he went high in the air. the ear shooting under him. He alighted with an energetic bump on the hood of the ear and reposed there. The auto was brought to a stop several feet away and Mr. DeLoach alighted, un harmed.

Worn from a day of ex citement and a long railroad journey, they h id arrived in Atlanta last night, clothed in borrowed and ill fitting gar ments, to be received at the station in th" arm of mothers and friends who could not feel the girls were actually safe from the flames until they had seen for themselves. But every one was accounted for. * Not a soul of the hun dred was Injured in the slightest, hough none had saved a garment or a keep-ake from lhe smoke-filled dormi tory. The story of the fire in the dark ness before the dawn, the quiet awak ening. the unfaltering heroism of the .sisters of St. Joseph and the prayer In the little chapel while (lames raged overhead was told graphically today by Miss Leta Bricken, the 17-year-old daughter of Mr, and Mrs. W. M. Brick en, of 33 Bedford place, who led the march down the stairs in the dark ness and who was first to gain the fresh air of the campus. She told of the bravery of Father McMahan, chap lain of St. Josephs, who risked his life to save the sacred chalices from the altar: of the kindliness of the good peo ple of the town of Washington. Catho lic, and Protestant alike, who took the shivering, hysterical girls into their homes and clothed them, and of the sadness of the good sisters who stood In their black robes In the chill dawn and watched the destruction of the school which had been their home for so many years. No Alarm Bell; No Cries of Fear. “We slept in the big dormitory on the third floor, each girl with a little room of her own. and the sisters In their apartments at one end of the hall,” said Ml.-s Bricken. “The electric lights had been turned off. and only one big lamp was left to light the dormitory dimly. This had been choked out by tlf smoke when one of the girls awoke and aroused the sisters. “There was no alarm bell, no shrieks •if terror. Sister Cecilia, Sister Ra phael. Sister Vita and Mother Gabriel, who was in charge in the absence of Mother Superior Alovsius, arose quiet- I ly. opened the windows to let in the ; fresh air, ami ran through the dormi tory, touching each girl on the shoul der and waking her. “ ’Get up quickly and quietly,' they said. Tiie building is on tire, but there I is no danger.

Down through the darkness marched the girls, on to tlie main floor and into the chapel, which was at the end of the building farthest from the (ire. and safe for a time, at least. The candles were burning on the altar, but there was no other light. And (here, while the flames were bin sting through the roof at the end of jibe building, we knelt and prayed that I St, Josephs might be saved, and ren- Continued on Pjge Two. HOME IPITION 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE WOODWARD FOR LETTING VOTERS END SQOABBLE Declares He Will Bear Cost oC ! Submitting Crematory Issue to the People. t OLD PLANT NEED NOT BE RAZED. ASSERTS CLAYTOM Final Clash on oday Before the* Aldermanic Board—Mayor- Elect Argues. / . . r » James G. Woodward declared twdayt that the question of tearing down th®: old crematory and the erection of a new $378,000 electric power and garbage dis-< ’ posal plant should be submitted to the people at the general election on De cember 4. He said he would urge tho aldennanlc board to take this course this afternoon, and that he would agree to accept the decision of the people. “The election on the crematory will I cost the city nothing,” he eaid. “for t 1 will pay the cost of the tickets.” R. M. Clayton, chief of city construc tion. said today it would be practical to build almost half of the ttew plant without Interfering with the operation of the old one. He said, Gwugh, it would be impossible to bulldthe new plant on the city’s lot without destroy ing the old one. His opinion supports Mr. Woodward’s contention that there should not bo such haste to raze the old plant. He will explain his views to the aldermanic board. The board of health insists that the crematory must come down at once. The plant has been closed for ten day « and a steam shovel is at wofk excavat ing around it in preparation for the building of the new plant. Woodward Has But Three of Ten Votes. Mr. Woodward and Dr. W L. Gil bert. president of the hoard of health, will be the leading spokesmen for the opposing propositions this afternoon. It will take a unanimous consent, of the members of the board for them to speak. It is expected that this will be granted. There are ten members of the board.; Mr. Woodward only has three certain? votes. It will take six votes for him t®< carry his point. He said he believed he! would get the needed number. Dr. Gilbert gave out this written statement today: Two years ago the board of health, realizing that the present crematory was Inadequate, appoint ed a committee for the purpose of Investigating and reporting on the best modern method of garbage dis posal for the city of Atlanta. The committee visited many cities of the North and East. Declares Old Plant Must Come Down. Specifications were issued, blds invited, and, upon the recommen dation of Dr. Rudolph Herring, whom the city had employed to advise It, and after a full discus sion by the board of health, the city council, the board of aidermen and by the bond commission, with the approval of the mayor and city attorney, the present contract with the Instructor Company, of New York, was made. The entire question of installing the new crematory rests on tearing down the old plant. It is absolute ly a physical impossibility to build the new plant on the city’s proper ty while the present furnace is in operation. There is no real objection to tearing down the old plant. It is worn out, and the expenditure of $3,000 reported necessary for re pairs would only put It In service able condition temporarily. Refuse Dumped Near Orphanage While the council and the health au thorities are at war over the destrue- I tion of the present crematory and the 1 construction of a new disposal plant, I garbage is being dumped in the heart of | one of the principal residence section® of the city, according to R. C. Massen gale, of the Massengale Advertising i Agency.
