wiurdock Says Head of Georgia
Road Hired Incompetent En
gineer, Though Warned.
LEADERS IN ARBITRATION i
ARGUMENT NEAR BLOWS
Hearing Is Ended, But Decision
Can Not Be Reached Before
Monday Morning.
That Superintendent Brand directly
was responsible for the death of five
persons last spring In the first fatal
wreck in the history of the Qeorgla
railroad was the assertion of Vice
President Murdock, of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, before the ar
bitration board this morning. Then he
told how Brand was responsible.
A young engineer had just been pro
moted to a “run,” said Murdock, when
a. delegation front the engineers union
. ailed on Brand and told him that the
voung engineer was forgetful, irrespon
sible and dissipated and would cause a
wreck If he were retained as engineer.
Brand practically disregarded the dele
gation's warning and retained the en
gineer, and in less than a week the
oung fellow caused the wreck in which
four passengers and the engineer of a
passenger train was
Brand sat silent it his seat as Mur
dock began his statement, but before
the union official was through he was
,n his feet, andeavoring to interrupt.
Opposing Leaders
Nearly Come to Blows.
•Gentlemen,” said Brand to the
board, "it is true that the engineers told
me the young man was unsafe and that
shortly after that he caused a wreck
which killed five persons, but that I am
responsible or was led to keep the
young fellow because he was not a un
ion man is not true. They charged a
number of things and could not sub
stantiate their charges. That was the
reason I kept him.”
Much ill-feeling between Brand and
Murdock was evidenced from the first
of the session. Once during Brand s
speech, as he was defying the unions to
try to usurp his authority, he pounded
on Murdock’s table just beneath that
official’s nose. Murdock sprang to his
feet and cried to the board:
"Kindly make Mr. Brand stick to his
argument and cut out all these heroics.
It seemed for a moment that the two
men would come to blows, but Judge
Chambers’ admonitions were effective
and Murdock resumed his seat as
Brand continued his speech. Brand
declared that the organizations wanted
io select the men for the various posi
tions and to have a word in the dis
cipline of the Toad. He again spoke of
ihe measures used to protect passen
gers and employees.

ceedings while that man lias been mak

he .told the board as he pointed to Mur
.."•k, who sat with an open sneer on his
face.
General Manager Scott closed the ar
mment for tiie road by declaring that
Murdock and Gregg authorized and
ought a sympathetic strike at the At
nt . joint terminals and on other roads
bile the Georgia strike was in prog
■ ess, just to show their power and to

“They didn't come to Georgia to do
justice, they came to dictate.' he said

"It may be p.vocal days before wo can

Former Atlanta Girl,
Now Bride of Aviator,
Stops His Flying Game
Lieutenant Ellyson, Navy Aero
naut, Accepts Edict of Helen
Mildred Glenn.
I RICHMOND, VA.. Nov. 23—Lieuten
i ant Theodore G. Ellyson, in charge of
, the navy javiation station at Annapolis,
will have to quit flying and come down
to the more material things of earth
and water. Such is the edict of his .
, bride, who was Miss Helen Mildred
i Glenn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John •
i Thomas Glenn, formerly of Atlanta '
now of New York, whom he married ;
in Washington Friday of last week.
It develops that Miss Glenn imparted I
the substance of this edict to one of the I
guests at the Crenshaw-Robins wed- ’
! ding in this city several weeks ago. On
i that occasion she was one of the
I bridesmaids, while Lieutenant Ellyson •
! figured in the role of a groomsman.
Although the two were practically 1
inseparable at the reception, following
the ceremony at fashionable St. Pauls j
Episcopal church, there were few who i
guessed they were to be married so j
soon themselves.
According to the law laid down by '
the young aviator’s bride, he must
echew the role of birdman within a I
year’s time, or stand the consequences. 1
In fact, it is said that a promise to this •
effect was exacted of him before Miss
Glenn agreed to become his bride.
Lieutenant Ellyson is a son <sf Mr.
and Mrs. H. Theodore Ellyson. of Rich
mond, and is a nephew of Lieutenant |
Governor J. Taylor Ellyson. Before i
he was promoted to his present aerial i
position he was regarded as an expert
and authority on submarine matters
and devoted most of his time to things
underneath the water.

MANDAMUS SUIT TO
TEST SALARY ACT IS
SET FOR DECEMBER 7;
The salary act of 1911.'affecting seven I
Fulton county officials, which becomes !
operative on January 1. 1913. will get j
its first court test on December 7 be
fore Superior Judge Pendleton.
Mandamus proceedings, recently au
thorized by the county commission
against Tax Collector Stewart. Tax Re
ceiver Armistead and Ordinary Wilkin
son, were begun today when Luther
Rosser, county attorney, filed his bills
with superior court. Judge Pendleton
set December 7 as the date upon which
the three officials must show cause
why the demands of the commissioners
have not been complied with.
The writs proved most formal in
their nature, simply detailing the cor
respondence which has passed between
the officials and the county board, re
lating to the inauguration of the salary
act. All three ojlcers have refused to
give the commission a schedule of of
fice expense for 1913, assertjng that the
salary act is unconstitutional.

as leading Woodrow Wilson. You can

That was the opinion expressed ioday

committee, who is in Atlanta for a brief
visit. Wttb him is Robert Adamson.

Adamson Not Discussing Prospects.
“Pie? Well, the Democrats have

Bob Adamson was whether he will be

several years look pained.
"Looks like they’ve got it all set

Hatpins Are Urged as Cure for Street Pest Evil
TRY CHINESE AS MASHER
j Miss May Hamilton, young cashier
in Folsom’s restaurant, is appearing in
police court this afternoon as the star
witness against Joe Hoey, an American
ized Chinese laundryman. whom she ac
cuses of follow ing her on two succes
sive nights in the vicinity of Carnegie
way and Spring street, and against
whose possible advances she declares
she planned to defend herself with a
long hat pin.
Hoey, in the broken English charac
teristic of a Chinese laundryman, as
serts that it is all a case of mistaken
identity, and says that if the young
woman really had stabbed the masher
with a hat pin the wound would have
been borne by' someone else.
Miss Hamilton is positive that the
Celestial is the offending masher, and
is determined to prosecute him vigor
ously. She had drawn her hat pin and
had it ready' in her hand for action,
and insists that had he spoken to her
she would have used it.
Declares Oriental
Followed Her Twice.
In explaining her determination. Miss
Hamilton urged the use of the hat pin
by all unprotected girls as an Effective
cure for mashers.

lowed her Wednesday night, while she
was on her way from the restaurant
to her home, 53 West Baker street. Sire

Urges Hat Pin As
Cure for Mashing Evil.
To a Georgian reporter today. Miss
Hamilton smilingly told of her hat pin
defense against mashers.
"I have found that the hat pin is a
doubly-useful article.” she said. “When
that Chinaman was following me. my
hat pin was the first thing I thought
of as pioteciion, and I determined to,
use it if he accosted me. If all unpro
tected women, alone in the-streets at
night, would resort to the hat pin as
a weapon to combat the advances of
: mashers, ther* wouldn’t be so much of
this disgusting insolence. It’s a thing
with which women are always armed,
well armed, and. as wonten cant be
carrying pistols around to protect
themselves, the hat pin is mighty' han
dy. I’m satisfied it’s a sure cure for
mashers. If one of these pests should
be stabbed with a hat pin. it would
throw such a fright into the rest of
th' gang that they- would be afraid to
show their faces again."
