Mountaineer and Wife Reward
ed When Prison Board Gives
Youthful Robber Parole.
JIM BRUCE NOW CAN EAT
► TURKEY WITH THE FOLKS’
Old Father and Mother Rejoice
as They Start Jauntily for
Distant Home.
,l 0!in Bruce and his good wife, Sally,
aged 69 and 64, respectively, walked all
the way from their home in Pickens
county, near Ball Ground, to ask Gov
ernor Brown for a pardon for their
gon. now in the Georgia penitentiary
for robbery, and got it.
That is, they got a parole for the
young man—and that means a par
don eventually.
The couple made a good case before
iho Georgia prison commission, and
lore Wednesday afternoon that body
recommended the. young man to the
Governor for clemency. The commis
sion round there were mitigating clr
jn connection with the rob
bers' charged against Jim Bruce. Be
d<es. the old man had been to see the
prison commission twice before con
■ernlng the matter— walking down from
bls mountain home every- time, and
bringing his rations along with him,
bed up in a flaming bandana, and
t ..-ross at’the
»nd of a short stick.
Brings “Old Woman'’
To Aid Him in Plea.
When the old man came the last
time and brought the "old woman" with
him, the combination was too much for
the prison commission's already wab
bling resolution, and it capitulated.
The governor, looking into the rec
ord carefully, as is his custom, know
ing about the loyal old father and
mother, considering their long tramp
from away up in the mountains of
north Georgia—a good seventy- miles —
agreed that the prison commission was
right, and that Jim Bruce should be
let out on bls good behavior for a year,
with the prospect of a full 'pardon
ahead.
Old Man Bruce and his wife left At
, lanta early this morning for their home
the mountains. Jim Bruce will be
"eleased from the state farm today, and
will join the folks at home—just about
in time for Thanksgiving dinner.
Every One Is Happy
As Parole Is Drawn.
Everybody connected with the af
fair was happy over it today—the gov
ernor. the prison commission, the
Bruces. Sr., and the secretary charged
with preparing the official documents
for the prisoner’s release.
The Bruces, Sr., expect to reach home
tomorrow night. They say they will
be able, by keeping steadily- on the
Job, to make 35 miles each day, unless
a rain "sets In.” in which event it
might take until Saturday noon to walk
home.

SOCIALIST LABOR
LEADERS BEATEN
1
ROCHESTER, N. Y.. Nov. 21.—Social
ist leaders in the American Federation of
Labor went down to defeat today- when
they attempted to place the resolution on
record for the formation of a new po
litical party to be known as the National
Union Labor party.
This proposition was embodied in an
amendment to the report of the committee
on the president's report, but after a
long and bitter debate the report was
adoptd by a vote of 165 to 13 without the
amendment.
The Socialists were first defeated when
Delegate Thomas Rqwe, of the Flint Glass
Workers union, quoted that section of the
federation’s constitution forbidding dis
cussion of partisan politics in the conven
tion.
Will Pursue Old Policy.
When Rowe made this point of order
he was upheld by the chair, and a vote
sustained the chair's ruling by 161 to 30.
This action by- the delegates means that
the federation will not form a new party
nor will it officially indorse the Socialist
party. President Gompers announced that
the federation would pursue in this regard
the same policy- it has maintained in past
years.
The committee on adjustments recom
mended that the executive council senJ
representatives to Chicago for the purpose
of arranging a settlement of the print
ing pressmen's strike and the trouble
growing out of that struggle. Delegate
Berry, president of the pressmen, was
given unlimited time to state the case for
his organization. Berry made a savage
onslaught upon the Chicago Publishers'
association.
Delegate Lynch, president of the Inter
national Typographical union, reply ing to
Berry, said that every other international
union of the printing trades, through their
representatives, after a full investigation
had repudiated the Chicago pressmen's
strike.
NATION-WIDE RAID ON
QUACKS EXPECTED TO
STOP MALPRACTICE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Postoffice de
partment officials today expressed the be
lief that the nation-wide raids of yester
day on "quack” medical concerns charged
with misuse of the mails and In connec
tion with which the department has work
ed for two years, will shatter the crimi
nal practices against which cities have
been powerless in the past.
It was announced that in the two years
during which postoffice inspectors have
been investigating these individuals and
concerns, more than 1,800 arrests have
been made and 900 convictions secured
and that concerns have been closed up
which, by fraud, obtained from the people
over 8100,000,000.
Warrants were issued in 173 cases and
290 inspectors, under the direction of
Chief Inspector Robert S. Sharpe, were
engaged in preparing the evidence which
resulted" in the wholesale arrests. With
the raids completed and the indictments
effective the work of the inspectors is
completed. The results of the crusade
are still being received in telegrams from
various division headquarters. The raids
yesterday were the larest single ' haul"
in the history of the postoffice depart
ment and probably establishes a record
for any department of this -overnment.
The postoffice department. prior to its
activity against medical frau ’s. received
hundreds of letters from women in al!
parts of the country complaining against
the freedom allowed persons engaged in
criminal medical practices.

Chinese Raise Money.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 21.—China
town is in a ferment over the receipt of
cablegrams that Chung Hwa republic is
preparing for a war with Russia for the
possession of the province of Mongolia.
The big secret societies which fostered
the revolutionary movement and led
the campaign for funds through their
headquarters here have for the last
week been interchanging cablegrams
with President Yuan Shi Kai and Gov
ernor Wu Hon Man, of QuangTung
province, concerning the situation in
Mongolia. The climax was reached
last night, when the Young China as
sociation. the society organized by Dr.
Sun Yat Sen. China's liberator, opened
a public campaign for funds to sustain
a war with Russia.
Lecturers were sent through China
town today bearing placards announc
ing "Chinese-Russian war lectures." At
street -corners they explained to the
Chinese the situation, raying that war
was imminent and that funds were nec
essary to aid China.
The situation parallels the action last
September, when the Young China as
sociation publicly opened the campaign
for funds for the Chinese revolutionary
movement.
Dispatches have been received by
Gook Har, secretary to Fung Chi You,
secretary of state of Yuan Shi Kai’S
cabinet, to the effect that an army of
60.000 has been mobilized in Pekin and
that General Wong Hing, hero of the
revolution, has been appointed it*
leader.

Lum Joe. head of the Gee Gong tong
of Georgia and one of the inhabitants
of a Chinese boarding house on East
Hunter street, was greatly exercised
this morning over the report that
China had prepared to engage Russia
in war. Lum long since lost his queue
by order of ex-President Sun Yat Sen,
but he waved his arms excitedly in
explaining that the local tong would be
hit some $1,600 worth in such a contin
gency, and that he (Lum Joel would
not be able to get back to China for
many years to see his wife and married
son. The SI,OOO, said Lum, would go
forth by foreign money order next week,
direct to the coffers of the president of
the young republic. Yuan Shi Kai. Each
Chinaman in the local tong, composed
of 72 members, had formerly given $4 a
month, but now the dues had risen to
$lO.
ARGUMENTS ON IN
PROBE OF GEORGIA
RAILROAD STRIKE
Vi< i President Murdock, of the Order
of Railway Conductors, began conclud
ing arguments today before the board
of arbitration of the Georgia railway
strike with a denunciation of Super
intendent Brand, of the road.
On account of Judge W. L. Cham
bers. the third arbitrator, arriving in
Atlanta on a belated train from Wash
ington, the arguments did not begin
until 11:30 o’clock. It was expected
that Brand would follow Murdock and
would speak until the session closed.
No verdict was expected before to
morrow.
In his denunciation of Brand, Mur
dock declared that if Conductor Pas
chal violated the 16-hour law, it was
done under the instructions of the su
perintendent. He declared that Pas
chal was not discharged because of any
failure to perform his duties, but be
cause he had been active In endeavor
ing to better the condition of his fel
low workmen.
Brand, he declared, had forced the
strike. When he first reached Atlanta
to effect a settlement, he found It im
possible to put his case before the
president of the road, on account of
Brand's activity, and found the super
intendent already in conference with
strikebreakers.
Gay, Doomed Slayer,
Speaks for First Time
Since Tragedy, May 12
Breaks Long Silence by Com- i
plaining of Cold Coffee, Then
Becomes Mum Again.
Hebert L. Clay, condemned wife slay
er and alleged maniac, today, for the
first time, broke the long silence he has
maintained since the tragedy of May 12.
He spoke five words plainly and intel
ligently, then lapsed again into abso
lute silence.
One of the trusties carried Clay's
morning meal to the slayer’s cell. Clay,
who has always manifested a sub
stantial appetite, looked over the break
fast and then picked up the cup of cof
fee. Poking his finger into the coffee, a
momentary expression of disgust cross- [
ed his features, and he exclaimed:
"This coffee is not hot.”
The startled trusty was so taken b.' ;
surprise that he could hardly speak.
"What's that you say?" he finally
gasped.
But not another word came from the
doomed slayer.
It is this remarkable silence that led
to the plea by the defense that Clay is
crazy.
SUES EMPLOYER
OF WIFE IN VAIN
With a letter couched In terms of
endearment written by his wife to L. '
Jackson Hood as evidence, B. B. Fladg- !
er, a publid accountant living at 69
Bedford place, asked ;i jury in Judge
Ellis’ court today to give him $25,000
judgment against Hood for alienation
of his wife's affections.
Fladger told the court that Hood, who
is a member of the linn of Walthour X
Hood, 51 South Forsyth street, had
taken advantage of the fact that Mrs.
Fladger worked for him as a stenogra
pher, and under the coverture of
friendship had won her affections.
The plaintiff introduced the letter as
ills trump card. It r.as written by Mrs.
Fladger on board the steamship "City
of Columburi" and addressed Hood ;us
“darling" and "dearie" throughout. Mrs.
Fladger accused her husband of b. lng
unjust to her and cold In his tie; tnient.
Made Nd Charges.
Fladger said tiiat he did not ~<wrlnea
tly real wrong to the relations bet . evn
Hob,] and Mrs. Fladger, but from the
letter and other evidences lie had be
come suspicious of Hood's dealings with
her.
The plaintiff said that the charge
brought by the defense that he was
worthless and had failed to support his
wife and child was untrue. He ap
peared, in court supported by crutches
He said he was suffering from a re
cent stroke of paralysis.
E. V. Carter, acting for Hood, wac
willing to rest the case on the contents
of the iet'er, and McSwain Woods,
Fiadger's attorney, consented. The
jury returned a verdict in favor of
Hood.

LEAPS UPON HOOD OF
AUTO BEARING DOWN
ON HIM; IS UNINJURED
A. A. DeLoach, tjie manufacturer,
took a thrilling ride 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 arrest bj any means -It was a
ride for life.
Mr. DeLoach started across Decatur
street at Pryor and had to pass close
behind a traffic jam. As he emerged,
the police auto came along, and Mr.
DeLoach found himsi If directly in its
path. The big car was so close on him
that he didn't have time to get out of
the way—there was nut one thing for
him to do, and he did It.
With a tigerlike leap, he went high in
the air, the car shooting under him. Hr
alighted with an energetic bump on the
hood of the car and reposed there. The
auto was brought to a stop several feet
away and Mr. DeLoach alighted, un
harmed.
In referring later to the speed of the
auto. Mr. DeLoach said lie thought it
was moving too swiftly through the
crowded streets, but that he was glad
to be able to demonstrate successfully a
new method of escape for pedestrians
trapped in the streets by autos.

Mrs. E. C. Rupley, of Atlanta, ami

periences in v balky balloon and are
eagerly looking forward to the arrival
of special gas tanks, which the owner
of the big aircraft says will make the
bag soar to a height which will sat
isfy any llyer.
The balloon was brought here by
Myrl 1). Tremelin, of the Goodyear Rub
ber Company, for the auto show, and
as soon as it was known that passen
gers would be taken aloft he was be
sieged with requests to be allowed to
fly.
He agreed yesterday to allow Mrs.
Rupley and Miss Frederick to go up.
When he prepared for the flight, he
found that his hydrogen gas tanks had
been misplaced in the railroad yards.
The would-be flyers were so anxious,
though, that he agreed to try common
illuminating gas. The women climbed
in the basket on the roof of the Good
year store in Peachtree street. The
word was given, the balloon wag cast
off, but it struggled for a few seconds,
and then flopped back on the building.
Several more trials were made, but the
bag had decided not to go aloft, and
the flight finally was abandoned.
Another trial will be made as soon as
the more powerful gas is located.

OLD PLANT MEED NOT BE
RAZED, ASSERTS CLAYTON
Final Clash on Today Before
Aldermanic Board—Mayor-
Elect Argues.
James G. Woodward declared today*
that the qm-tion of teailnj down the
old cremator..' ami the erection of a new
$378,006 electric po.ver and garbage dis
posal plant should be submitted to th®
people at the general election on D. -
< ember 4. He said he would urge th®
aldermanic board to lake this coursa
this afternoon, and that he would agn a
to accept the decision of the people.
"The election oi Gi< eremt.toiy will
cost the city nothing,” he said, "for I
will pay the cost of the tickets."
R. M. i .'iayton. chief of city construe,
tion, said today it would be practical to
build almost half of the new plant
without Interfering with the operation
of tlie old one. He said, though, ft
i would be impossible to build the new
, hint on the city’s lot without destroy
ing the old one.
His opinion supports Mr. Woodward’®
contention that there should not be
such naste to raze thq old plant. He
will explain his views to the aldermanic
board.
Tile board of health insist* that the
crematory must come down at once.
The plant has been closed for ten day®
and a steam shovel Is at work excavat
ing around it in preparation for the
building of tin- new plant.
Woodward Has But
Three of Ten Votes.
Mr. Woodward and Dr. W. L Gil
bert, president of the board of health,
will be the leading spokesmen for the
opposing pri positions this afternoon. II
will take a unanimous consent of the
members of the beard for them tq
peak. It is expected that this will ba
granted.
There are ten members of tlie board,
Mr. Woodward only has three certain
votes. It will lake six votes for him ta
c{ttry his paint. He said he believed i.«
would get tlie needed number.
Dr. Gilbert gave out this written
statement today:
Two years ago the board of
health, realizing that the present
crematory .vas inadequate, appoint
ed a committee for the pm pose ol
investigating and reporting on the
best modern method of garbage dis
po-.d >or th<* icy of-Atlanta. Th •
l oinmito ■■ vi ited m any cities of th-
North and .East.
Declares Old Plant
Must Come Down.
Specifications -'ere issued, bids
invited, and, upon the r i-nnirn
dot: on "* Dr. Rudolpn Herring
wb< la the "itj 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, wit’
tlie approval of the mayor and city
attorney, the present contract with
tlie liestruetor Company, of New
York, was made.
Tim 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 nt war over the destruc
tion of the present crematory and the
. construction of a new disposal plant,
garbage Is being dumped in the heart of
j one of the principal residence section®
of the city, according to R. C. Massen
gale. of the Massengale Advertising
Agency.
Mr. Massengale contends that th®
lives of numbers of children sheltered
by the Hebrew Orphans home are be
ing endangered by this practice, while
tlie entire neighborhood is being put t«
the greatest Inconvenience. Mr. Mas
sengale lives in Capitol avenue, be-
