LABOR LEADERS
FREEDBYJDRV
Italians Not Guilty of Murder
For Woman's Death in Riots
They Promoted.
SALEM, MASS., Nov. "6. —Joseph J.
Ettor and Arturio Giovannitti, leaders
of the Industrial Workers of the World,
and Joseph Caruso, the trio tried for
the death of Annie Lopizzi, a woolen
mill operative, during the Lawrence,
Mass., strike last January, were ac
quitted today.
The verdict of “not guilty - ’ was
reached last evening, but Judge Joseph
Quinn told the jurors that he would
,ot receive a verdiet until today.
The case was given to the jury at
'2:43 o'clock yesterday after out of the
most important and spectacular trials
in which labor has ever been involved.
According to the instructions to the
Jury, neither Bttor nor Giovannitti
could not have been found guilty of
nurder in the first degree. They were
'reused by the state of arousing a mur
derous frenzy by their speeches which
r. suited in the mill woman’s death.
So intricate were the chief threads of
tlie case that labor leaders who had
been following it, declared a verdict of
guilty Woul . have established a prece
dent which would make effective labor
strikes in the future an impossibility.
Thank Court and Jury.
Wtten the verdict war announced, the
.iree prisoners, one ;ift< . another, rose
and thanked the vourt and the jury for
the verdict. Bttor said:
“1 not oti'.y thank you for myself, but
1 thank you oi: b< half of the working
lass of America.”
Clerk George then read an indictment
for Joseph Caruso for assault with in
•nt to kill. He was told to plead guil
■ v or not guilty to this charge.
“Not guilty.” was the answer.
He wa- relet sod without bail.
An indictment was also read against
Joseph J. Ett> r and Caruso for con
spiracy. together with William Hay
wood. They both pleaded not guilty,
and were released in SSOO bail, which
was furnished by their attorneys.
The jury reached its verdict at G:4o
o'clock last evening, after being out six
hours. Tie .i' ’e men accused retired
without k'.o.■ that a verdict had

Looks like a cinch, doesn't it, stand
ing in tin street and telling other folks
t which way to go and when to stop and
when io come on! Nothing to do but
stand there and hold up a white-gloved
hand and make everybody mind!
But did you ever try standing in one
i place five or six hours on a stretch?
i Just think how you kick when your
' car is three minutes late and the morn
ing is cold and the wind blowing forty
miles an hour. And then just imagine
, being right in the middle of the pave
! ment with four streams of traffic swirl-
I ing about you and trying to tangle up.
1 It must be like standing on a rock in
the middle of Niagara river, just above
the falls. And even then the river could
look after itself and not try to run
four different ways at once and smash
I things. Being a traffic cop wouldn't be
’ so bad if it were not for the traffic.
B'way Has Nothing on Five Points.
' But Five Points is just about as busy
> .a spot at some times of day as any of
! the popular song corners of Broadway
land Umpty-steenth street. There’s all
J the traffic the pavement will bear, and
’ nobody could crowd in any more. And
■ ' Chief Beavers says the Broadway squad
, 'hasn't got anything' on his traffic cops,
even if its men are six foot three and
, stand like they -wore check reins. He
thinks Reub Burnett and Charley
• Mitchell are as good as anj of them
. when it comes to keeping automobiles
from climbing into trolley ears, and
that's what traffic cops are for.
A reporter spent an hour with Mitch
ell and Burnett today. Not exactly with
| them, either, for they urg< d him to
on the sidewalk, where he wouldn't get
run over. He spent the rest of the
hour inside a cigar store, looking out
I the glass door, which was warmer and
safer. He began with an earnest effort
to count tile vehicles passing the COl
- ner. but Quit after the first live min
utes and the first hundred and seventy
’ live motors, trucks, drays, cabs, trolley
cars, bicycles and farm wagons, if the
, statistic-loving reader can get any sat
isfaction from these figures, as far as
tiny go, he is welcome.
••How many folks pass tins corner in
an hour'.' Ask me something easy. How
many fleas on a hound dog, f'r in
stance?" replied officer Mitchell, in an
swer to this simple question. "I'm too
’ busy keepin’ 'em gain’ to stop and
' count ’em. Hey you, back up there!
Didn't you see me give you the stop?
Come on. now. Keep straight across.
Yes. lady, the postoffice is two blocks

ing the sidewalk and cutting off forty

Mitchell steps over.
“Go ahead, you." he commands. "You

Down comes a six-cylinder car, load

tries to turn into Marietta street; and
the driver coming south barely pulls up

The woman driver is contrite.
"Oh, I thought you said go ahead.”
she explains. The traffic cop is all
smiles.
“Don't ever turn to the left around a
corner," he says, quietly. “Swing way
out to the right and take the outside
Then you won’t get into trouble."
Amateurs Worst To Handle.
Down comes a clattering truck, load

like a tin roof In a gale. The driver

"It's negro draymen and amateur au

"Folks that are used to passing here
don't worry' us much. They drive down
and wait for the signal and don’t lose

come through lickety-split. scared of

The motormen. too, give us trouble

Two Men at the Points.
There are two men on duty at Five

down the lighter cornet of Edgewood

J. D. FRAZIER DIES
i AT WEST END HOME;
ILL ONLY 3 HOURS
Within three hours after he was taken
ill, .1. D. Frazier, a prominent grain mer-,
chant, died last night at his home at the
corner of Gordon and Lawton streets, in
West End. He had been in failing health
for several months, hut had worked at
his office as usual on Monday.
Mr. Frazier was a leading .Mason, a
Knight Templar, ami deacon in the West
End Baptist church. He was born In
Cobb county sixty-four years ago. and
came to Atlanta to enter the dry goods
business, afterwards becoming a dealer
in grain. He married Miss Anna Clark, a
niece of the late Judge Erskine.
He is survived by his wife, two daugh
ters Mrs. Hamilton Eidson and Mrs. E.
H. Dunne, and four sons, J. D. Frazier,
Jr., Clark, Andrew and Charles Collier

three children, two hand bags, a basket

to run a handkerchief around the in
side of his helmet, though the ther
mometer marked around 40. "But they
start across from any old place and
go any old direction. Sometimes they're
kept hopping lively out in the middle
of tb* triangle, but mostly they get
over all right. They’ll grab their hats
and run across right in front of an au
tomobile and then stop on the sid'Walk
and look back like they hadn't been in
a hurry, anyway. Honest, some folks
are funny. Ami sometimes they’ll get
to talking and stroll across, kinder
slow, like there wasn't a trolley ear or
a truck in -in miles, just as uncon
cerned hh you please. It’s a wonder
to me there ain't more folks butted
into by bicycles and run over by auto
mobiles than ready happens. We can’t
play nurse to everybody on four cor
ners at otic time."
Two Big Rush Periods.
The gn at rush corm s in the morning,
when everybody is hurrying into town
for business, and another is between 4
and 6 o'clock in the afternoon, when
everybody is going home. When the
office buildings begin to pour their in
habitants into street ears and automo
biles, when tin thousands begin filling
the sidewalk., when the dazzling head
lights throw their glare into the faces
of drivers coming lite other way, when
street ear gongs and electric horns be
gin playing the Devil's Ragtime in the
dusk, then the traffic cop begins to
feel that a lonely beat in the suburbs
would be the next best thing to a per
petual vacation.

If You Can tßuy a Thanksgiving Bird, Make One
ARTIFICIAL TURKEY NOW!
I
Weep no more, gentle reader. Evj 11
though the beef trust Ims put turkey to
30 cents a pound, including feathers,
you need not go hungry. Why not take
a loaf from the trust's own book and
make a Thanksgiving turkey for your
self?
One fact that every worn.tn knows is
that you can’t tell what’s in a can by
reading the label, it is easv to make
potted chicken out of Texas steer,
ground fine and drenched with broth
from tt hen which has outlived her egg
producing days, and no chef could tell
what might be the real contents of a
cin marked genuine terrapin (flavor
ed) giblets. Rut it has remained for
an Atlanta chemist to invent th syn
hetic or artificial turkey, to he obtain
ed at any drug' store, pharmacy or
chemical laboratory. He is u modest
man and poor, and fears to give his
n'me. lest the turkey trust drive him
out of business. But lie gives his dis
covery freely to tin- poor but proud,
who must have turkey on the table
u xt Thursday, even if they have Io get
it from a neighbor's back yard.
Nothing Much to a Turkey.
"Let us analyze a turkey weighing
ten pounds in ■ its edible portion,” he
said. "This ten pounds of turkey is
composed of:
“Water, 5 1-2 pounds.
"Protein, 2 1-2 pounds
"Fat, 2 3-10 pounds.
“Ashes, a trace.
"Now that's all there is to a turkey,
except the feathers and the price. You
can*draw tin water from any plug if
you pay your tux; you don't need the
traee’of ash. which will be burned up
anyway, so all you need provide .:re the
proteins and the fat.
“Take cotton seed :m a . Hour or
something of that nature I'm- a base.
Stir into iliis your 2 1-2 ismnds o ' pro
teins. Oh. egg..- will do. Yes. 1 know,
eggs are high, but the cold storage
Variety' w ill serve. It will take 3 3-4
pounds of eggs for the proteins. Now
you want the fat. Stir in 2 1-2 pounds |
of lard, peanut butter or olive oil. if I
eggs are too high for ym.tr purse, therei
are cheap meats which will make up
the proteins, but II will require more
pounds.
“Mix these, mold into the form of a
turkey and -plead on the platter. Wait
a. moment. You’ll want some cranber
ry sauce.
"Ain't No Such Thing as Flavor.”
“Get a can of tomato a, sweeten with
glucose to taste, stir in a dash ol sali
cylic n id, a trace of chloraphil to make
the crimson of a richer hue. and citric
and malic acids to -nit tin taste and
