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. Scott Scores Union Officials. And I’ll not let you or any one else derate to mo how to run my road, he -aid as he pointed to Grogg and Mur dock. It’s all I've been able to do to sit iietl\ in my seat during these pro ceedings while that man lias been mak rg all these insinuation?against me,’ 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 ■nfor-e their rapacious demands. “They didn't come to Georgia to do justice, they came to dictate.' he said •if them. Can Not Reach Verdict Under Monday. Murdock, in the argument which losed the hearing. characterized Brand's attitude toward his men as discrimination urged by the views of ■' czar.” And movt of his statements have ■■■. n absolutely contrary to facts.” he iid of Brand. The end of the case came at 10:30 o’clock. Chairman Chambers an ounced that no decision possibly could " reached before 0 o’clock Monday "ofning, as the stenographers taking • own the proceedings could not pre ' nt a complete record before that time.

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.

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.

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."
