Young Nurse Accuses Theat

Demands Punishment.
Alluring promises held out to stale
st, uek gills by tiieat rival agents and
managers and theyshockiug reality that
fallows; will be told of on ti: witness
s?ind in recorder's court this afternoon
-j“n Genevieve Goodwin, a pretty
1 ig'.iteen-year-old trained rfurse of Cin
cinnati, appears against Atlanta stage
people, whom site aceu.-es in an all . geo
"white slave" plot.
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. Boai'd
■ -s at the place declare that tiie stage
people said they were departing for
Lithonia, where their snow opens to
night.
She’ll Fight to the End.
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.

PRETTY WOAIEN
BEST POLICEMEN,
JUDGE DECLARES
CHICAGO, Nov. 23. —Pretty women
juvenile offlicers will be seen in Chi
cago if the suggestion of Municipal
Court judge Newcomer Is carried out.
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.

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.
Mrs. Baggot, who was a member of
the divorce colony, was shot while In
the dressing room of a bath house at
Moana Springs. The bullets entered
her abdomen, causing mortal wounds.
STOLEN RIDE CAUSES MAN
TO FACE KILLING CHARGE
WAYCROSS, GA.. Nov. 23.—A ride on
an engine pilot landed Morris Middle
ton in jail to answer charges of mur
der and assault with intent to mur
der. He was arrested here by spe
cial officers on a charge of stealing a
ride.
Investigation developed the fact that
a man answering Middleton’s descrip
tion was wanted in Charlton county for
murder and for an attempted murder.
Middleton’s brother came here and paid
the fine assessed in city court, not
knowing that more serious charges
were held against him.

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

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

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

Professor Gardner declared that he
has a number of applications for schol
arships from would-be students, finan

Two of these will be granted imme

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
