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.

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.

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.

SIXTY THOUSAND TROOPS ARE ALREADY MOBILIZED Hero of Revolution Appointed Leader of Movement —U. S. 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
