Four members of the Metropolitan Musical Comedy Company, to join which tile girl deserted her post in a t.'incinnati hospital, are lulu in police barracks to answer her charges. They '.’eciare that they are legitimate theat ■■ al people and theft arrest is due to the fact that the Goodwin girl was dis charged from the company as an in competent. In tile meantime other members of lite company have deserted the board ing house at 34 Garnett.street, where they had been rehearsing tor weeks, and trace of them has beep lost.

Miss Good win, held by the police as a materia! witness, expressed her,deter mination today not to rest until the men and women ihe says have tried to degrade her are punished and the agent, who sire declares fooled her, is made to pay for her humiliation. “My father is a professional man of high standing,” she declared tills morn ing'. “Os course I will not tell his name, but I am going to telegraph him today to come to Atlanta ami help me in lighting this ease. "I guess 1 was foolish to listen ’.o these people,” she continued. ”1 know it now, but ever since I was a little girl I have been anxious to go on the ■ tage, and 1 have studied and prae ieed for years. Several months ago 1 applied to the International Theatrical iiey, of Cincinnati, for employment. Heard They Needed Soubrette. 'Several weeks ago, I was told that a high-class musical comedy organiza tion was being formed in Atlanta, and they needed a soubrette of my type. The agency manager told me all sorts of things of iiow my life would be dif ferent from that of a chorus girl, how Pleasant a time 1 would have and what opportunities this offer held out tor professional advancement. 1 leaped at tile opportunity. “Thursday I reached Atlanta and, ac cording to directions, found the com pany being formed at 34 Garnett street. My first sight of the company shat tered by illusions, but I was deter mined to make the best of it. "The entire company was assembled, and they were all smoking cigarettes '* t *d drinking beer.

Judge Newcomer maintains that a pretty face is more valuable at times titan sh-eer physical force. Tiie judge’s observations followed a case in which Patrick Gorman, a switchman weighing more than 200 pounds and standing six feet in height, was brought into his court by Miss Carolyn Grimsby. :.■< demure juvenile court attache. "Did you arrest this man?" asked tiie judge “He consented to come with me,” re plied Miss Grimsby. “He said he would light before he would go in a patrol wagon.” “It appears that pretty juvenile offi cers have more influence with delin quent husbands than d<Y husky police men." said Judge Newcomer. “It might be well to have more." Hudson urged me to join the di inkers, but I refused, protesting that I was suf fering from a headache after my long ride on the trains. She then offered me a cigarette and I took it and smoked it, fearing that if I did not I would of fend all the rest of the people who were smoking. “When the time came to taik busi ness. I was told by Manager Ponder 1 was expected to be a chorus girl. Will Sue For $50,000. “He said my salary would be $lO a week. Still I decided to stick It out un til something better offered. Later, though, I was taken aside by Mrs. Hud son and Miss Haze! Barrington and told that members of the chorus were expected to select some man of the companv with whom to live as husband and wife, because it saved expenses on Ute road. They told me there were two ‘odd’ men in the company and I’could take my pick. “I refused and left the house, going to a hotel. Later two men called on me there. 1 understand they were the 'odd’ men. I then decided to appeal to the police. “I am now determined to see tnls ease through, and not only that, but to sue the agent for $50,000 for the humil iation I have suffered.” Assistant Manage’ Robert Grier, Mre. Hudson and the Barrington girl, all held to answer to the Goodwin girl’s charges, declared their arrest was simply due to spite. “We applied to the agency for « high-class soubrette,” said Mrs. Hud son. “They sent us this girl. She had no stage experience and could not even fit in the chorus. We told her so, and offered her return fare to Cincinnati. "The manager was to have furnished her the money today, but before he could do so she brought these trumped up charges. She was a jrouble-maker from the time she arrived and if she roes on the stand and tells any of tiie e things she has told the reporters I am going to swear out a warrant against her for perjury. t'HE A'PLANT A GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23. 1912. OIVDRCE COLON! HUM IS SNOT Man Who Stole for Her, Spurned. Fires on Her. Then Ends Life. » RENo, NEV., Nov. 23.—Physicians attending Mrs. Estelle Baggott, of Los Angeles and New York, who wa shot yesterday by Harry S. Weems, of Bal timore, who afterward killed himself, today held out no hope for her recovery. Weems, whose meteoric career in matripiony included four unhappy mar. riages, left a note addressed to Police Chief Hilhouse, explaining his act, part of which follows: “I am awfully sorrv to resort to such a measure, but when a woman runs away after making a man go to ex tremes to get money - for her and then refuses to come to h.s aid, it’s time to quit. Ami yet I idolize her. Now that she has another, she leaves me to face the penitentiary. Kindly notify my brother in Baltimore. This woman, Es telle Baggot, has ruined my life. She has already ruined one life, her hus band whom she comes here to get rid of. This is my second attempt and I hope it will be the last.” The authorities said that Weems’ family had claimed his remains and that they would be shipped to Balti mgre. Weems had planned the sho'oting in advance and he left several letters tell ing of his intentions. One was ad dressed to Los Angeles admitting that he had embezzled. He also told of his past marriages. His first wife was from Charlotte, Va.; his second was Ada Crosby, of Richmond, Va.; his third was Iva Moore, of Washington, and his fourth was Catherine Moore', of Buffalo, N. Y.

Brown's objec tions to the elimination of Adam and Eve from the Bible, by reason of re vision of the fa mu us old King James version, at outlined in The S'. Georgian of yes fyiiiiiy. attraxitol ’ Oww great?'dial of al- Sr tention and much S WaP commendation. ~ mm A great many people share with HH •” the governor a JjwMgS decided disinell- fit nation to part, for any reason what- HR soever, with such K& youthful friends fcJi and acquaintances as Adam and Eve, and they Wvih join with hirft in hoping that away may be found to work such revision as may be deemed necessary and yet diuiurb not at all the first man and the first woman as an ciently designated by name. It is rather a significant circum stance in connection with the govern or’s remarks on the subject of the pro posed change in the text of tiie King James Bible that he is the possessor of one of the few - original copies of that book extant. The governor owns a copy, printed directly from the original type, that actually belonged to the king himself, and is decorated accordingly with the English royal coat-of-arms. Attached to the inside cover of the book is a certificate of its genuineness. This Bible was presented to the gov ernor by his brother, the late Julius L. Brown, as a token of his love and abiding affection. Between the gov ernor and his brother Julius a most tender and loyal attachment existed. Julius L. Brown was a famous book collector*—one of the most famous in the nation. His library was filled to overflowing with the quaint, the rare and the beautiful in books. It was, in deed, a token of genuine love and affection, when he parted with one of the most priceless books in his posses sion-—the King James Bible —even to one so near and so dear as "Brother Joe.” However, he did give the book to the governor—and there is nothing in the governor’s possession he values more. The book, though somewhat faded with age and printed more or less queerly, as things go nowadays, still is in a most excellent state of preserva tion. The governor keeps this partic ular book in his private office at the capltol, and frequently, when wishing to use a Biblical quotation, refers di rectly to it, rather than to the more modern and less ornate edition near by. Tiie war department of the United States government has on hand four cannon set aside by specific act of congress to the use of "the city of At lanta” for the purpose of “decorating the state capltol grounds," and the department would be glad if it might dispose of them to the parties author ized to accept and place them where they belong. Under the somewhat “urious resolu tion awarding them to Atlanta, how ever, it is difficult for the city authori- ty JAMES B. JJEVIxI ties to know wqnt to tiu with the can non. Tl.e city <-an not accept them and I’.'.ue tr. :n on the capltol lawn, unless the’I'-.vi,Mature agrees; aiwl the legisla ture will not be in session for a good many months to come. The state au thorities-. on tiie other band, van not accept the cannon, for the act of con- > ;><eifi: ally gives them to "the city of Atlanta.” Just ’xectly how the tangle is to be straightened out nobody at present I knows, but both city and state authori ties are anxious to find away whereby the government’s gracious gift may be accepted, and at the same time not get either the city pr the state into a legal snarl. Governor Lee Luce, of Oklahoma, has written to tiie executive department of the state of Georgia inquiring what, If tiny, authority the governor has In the matter of suspending or discharg ing sheriffs and constables found dere lict in their duty. Governor Luce has been answered that the governor of Georgia has no authority whatever in the direction in dicated. A Georgia sheriff can not be removed from office otherwise than by trial by jury. No matter what a sheriff may do, and no matter what charge may be brought against him. the law - vouchsafes him a trial by jury before he may be removed or suspended from office. A solicitor general, like a judge, may be impeached —but a sheriff can be disciplined In one way, and one way only. Captain Goodloe Yancey, of the Geor gia prison commission, somewhat ex citedly remarked in the capltol today that somebody had tendered "Bob” Gardener, of the same office, a couple of free tickets to something or other, and that "Bob” had turned them down. The unlikely story was referred to Commissioners Patterson and Davison, who happened to be present, and both expressed grave doubts as to the ac curacy of the allegation. As Commissioner Williams was ab sent, however, the commission’s unani mous Incredulity could not be recorded as an absolutely certain thing. T. C. Robertson, of Macon, is an ap plicant for the office of internal reve nue collector for Georgia. His friends have organized a cam paign committee and more than 800 personal letters have been sent hrough out the state in his behalf. He also has friends of influence In touch with Senators Smith and Bacon. Mr. Robertson is an insurance man of the Central City. The Jackson Argus, without guaran teeing anything, picks out the follow ing probable postmasters-to-be in Georgia: Atlanta—-J. R. Smithy Macon —Thomas J. Simmons. Savannah—B. P. Axson. Rome —John D. McCartney Athens—Harvey S’" vail. Dalton —T. S. Shope. There are 2,359 candidates, real and near, for these same jobs, however, who will demur, both emphatically and vo ciferously, tu these predictions, of course. .Gradually, the suggestion of primary ■ elections for nominating postmasters is Frances Holmes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Holmes, 300 West Peachtree. TOY/ER PRISONERS TO EAT ROAST PIG THANKSGIVING DAY Pig and potatoes is to b. the Thanks giving day menu at the Tov er, accord ing to the announcement made by Sher iff C. W. Mangum today. The sheriff said that, after years of experience in feeding prisoners, he lias come to the con lusion that frills don’t make a hit. *T've tried chicken,” he said, "and I've given them fruit, candy, cranber ries and various other things that go with a holiday bill of fare, and they al ways kick because they don't get roast pig. "Nine out of every ten prisoners in tiie Tower think the best dinner in the world is roast pork and gravy, with browned potatoes. That is what they want, and I am going to give it to them. I'’ 1 '’ TWO MORE STUDENTS TO SECURE FUNDS FOR COURSE AT GA. TECH Two Tech scholarships were made possible today by donations to the mu tual scholarship fund, founded at the school by Professor Gardner, the reg istrar, to aid worthy young men in re ceiving a technical education. The money was given by two Atlanta wom en, whose names are withheld. Professor Gardner declared that he has a number of applications for schol arships from would-be students, finan cially unable to attend school. Two of these will be granted imme diately. With the pair of scholarships today five have now been furnished since the fund was started. MACON SLEUTHS REGULAR FINGER-PRINT-SHERLOCKS MACON, GA., Nov. 23.—Macon police have worked out a real Sherlock Holmes case, arresting a negro who burglarized tiie office of a local lumber company with only the blood finger prints on a dusty desk as a clew. The finger prints indicated that a man’s right hand had been cut, and as the window was smashed in order to effect an entrance it was guessed that the burglar wounded himself in that way. After three days of watching, the po lice arrested a negro who had three cuts on his right hand. Witnesses were found who swear that they saw the ne gro near the plant on the night of the robbery. He was formerly employed at the place, and was familiar with the premises. He has been bound over to the superior court for trial. spreading throughout the state, and the idea Is winning a large measure of fav or as it spreads, moreover. .. The Savannah News, commenting upon the suggestion, gave it a meas ure of indorsement several days ago, and now The Augusta Chronicle thinks it might be a safe and sane way to set tle the postmastership controversies in congressional districts of Democratic persuasion. It never was intended, of course, that tiie postmastership primary idea should prevail in districts having Re publican congressmen, for. of course, the postmasters appointed throughout the nation under a Democratic admin istration will be Democrats. Here in Georgia, however, the post mastership primary would serve a fine purpose—it would enable a congress man to solve the puzzle of ' postoffice patronage fairly and without favor in ids district.
