Broadway's Touted Guardians; Have Nothing on My Men, • Deciares Cheif Beavers. Ever stand nt Five Points and watch the czar review his armies? Looks like a cinch, doesn’t it, stand ing in the street and telling other folks which way to go and when to stop and when to 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 place five or six hours on a stretch? 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 tiie middle of the pave ment with four streams of traffic swirl ing about you and trying to tangle up. 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 things. Being a traffic cop wouldn’t be go 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 and Umpty-steenth street. There’s all the traffic the pavement will bear, and nobodv 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 any of them when it comes to keeping automobiles from climbing into trolley cars, 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 urged him to get on the sidewalk, where he wouldn't get run over. He spent the rest of the hour inside a cigar store, looking out the glass door, which was warmer and safer He began with an earnest effort to count the vehicles passing the cor ner, but quit after the first live min utes and the first hundred and seventy five 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 they go, he is welcome. "How many folks pass this 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 Continued on Page Two. mom BY PLEA OF GIRL Sixteen-Year-Old Brother of Stella Hearn to Escape Chaingang Term. Won by the plea of fourteen-year old Stella Hearn, who yesterday peti tioned Governor Brown, in person, to order her 16-year-old brother, Love Hearn, sent to the state reformatory, rather than to the Fulton county chain gang, to which he had been sentenced in Judge Calhoun’s court, the governor today granted the girl’s prayer. Young Hearn will be taken to the reformatory at Milledgeville for a term of service corresponding with his chaingang sen tence. Stella Hearn was v ery happy this morning when she called at the capitol and w r as informed that the governor had agreed to grant her request. "I am sure I-oye will make a well behaved prisoner,” said Miss Hearn, ‘‘and I am deeply grateful to Governor Brown. I am sure he has a kind heart. I felt that he would grant my request. I went to him on my own motion, and because I felt that 1 could reach him and explain to him about Love.” The governor said that he did not feel he would be doing right to "close the door of hope” either to young Hearn or his sister. He believes that a’ bet ter purpose can be served by sending Hearn to the reformatory. GIRL TELLS POLICE STEPFATHER TREATED DOG BETTER THAN HER \ “My stepfather has an old hound dog that he treated better than he did me, and that’s just why I left home and de termined to go out into the world and battle for myself,” today explained Lula McCoy. 17 years of age. who has asked the aid of the police in finding work. .Miss McCoy is being cared for by Matron Bohnefeld until a place can be found for her. ‘‘l'm not looking for charity, but work,” said the girl. “I'm perfectly able to work end want to maJ. mv own living." ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 26. 1912. CAN’T STOP PROSPERITY NOW, ASSERT STATESMEN WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—That the United States today is basking in the glow of the greatest prosperity she has ever enjoyed, is the optimistic view of members of the president’s cabinet, senators, representatives and other prominent men who are pouring into the national capital preparatory to the opening of congress. With the country’s granaVies bulging with the fruits of a bumper harvest and her wheels of industry grinding, public men today declared that even the change in administration would not change the conduct of business throughout the nation. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is among the most optimistic, assuring the nation that the agriculturists’ pock ets are full. Nothing Wrong With Business. “Nothing is the matter with condi tions in the business world,” said the dean of the cabinet today. “Every thing looks fine and with the magnifi cent crops we have harvested this fall I see no reason for apprehension. The farmers are obtaining good prices, and that means plenty of money in circula tion.” "The prosperity which we are enjoy- SNEAD, ON STAND. TELLS OF PLOT TO KIDNAP CHILDREN FORT WORTH. TEXAS, Nov. 26. John B. Snead took the stand today in his own behalf at his second trial for the murder of Captain A. G. Boyce in the.Metropole hotel last winter. Snead swore that when he found his wife and Captain Boyce's son, with whom she had eloped to Winnipeg, Canada, she confessed that the Boyce family was plotting to kidnap the Snead children and send thegn to their mother in Can ada. W. A. Weaver, a Bokchito, Okla., lawyer, was arrested today charged with perjury with the testimony he gave yesterday. He had sworn that the elder Boyce saw Snead in the Metropole hotel and made a scurrilous remark about him just a few moments befort the shooting occurred. The state’s at torney swore out. the perjury warrant. Later Weaver -as releas'"' on SI,OOO bail. ing now,” said Seereary of Commerce and Labor Nagel, "has, in my opinion, come to stay, and I do not look for even a disturbance of it for a long time.” Other opinions about the prosperity reign today were: Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia: "There is every reason to anticipate prosperous times in the United States. The industries of the country have nothing to fear from Democratic revi sion of the tariff, and the present pros perity will go on indefinitely.” No Depression Is Coming. Senator Borah, of Idaho: "I am not anticipating any business depression because of the coming administration.” Senator Smoot, of Utah: "In my judgment, the tariff bills the Demo crats will pass at the extra session will not be so radical as to affect the reign of prosperity.” Speaker Champ Clark: “With the biggest crop ever raised, with a short age of labor and with all the factories in the land working overtime or behind with orders, the chances are 10 to 1 against any disturbance of the present prosperous era." SUES WIFE HE SAYS WAS ASHAMED TO BE SEEN OUT WITH HIM Hershel Kilpatrick told superior court today that his wife was ashamed of him and flatly refused to be seen in his company on the street. He argued her attitude entitled him to a divorce. Kilpatrick asserted that he married Lelah Darling in April, 1912, and lived with her happily until June, 1912. In June, he said, his wife visited her par ents In South Carolina and failed to write On her return, he maintained, she called him over the telephone and told him that she was tired of him and was really ashamed to be seen on the street with him. However, he said, she had never refrained from taking and spend ing the money he had lavished upon her. WORLDSOCiAUSf STRIKE CALLED TO PROTEST WAR BASLE. Nov. 26.

'SAVANNAH SILENT OH LIOUOR SALES Court Officials Ignore Disclos ures of Violation of Pro hibition Law. SAVANNAH, GA., Nov. 26.—A rigid silence is maintained in all quarters re garding the disclosures in Atlanta touching upon the offering of whisky for Illegal sale by mail orders by the John Sullivan, Jr.,’ Company, of Sa vannah, wholesale distributers. It is intimated in all such cases that if proper complaint of infractions of the law is made, the officials will take proper cognizance of the matter. It is a notorious fact, however, that It is almost impossible to get Savan nah people to make complaint in such eases, and equally as impossible to get a Chatham county jury to convict after such case is made. Court and police officials simply will not discuss the matter at all. No denial is made that circulars of fering liquor for sale have been dis tributed. nor does the company make any attempt to defend its action. Every body merely declines to discuss the matter at all.

IDITION 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE P^ R l° VICTORY FUR UNIONSIN GISTRIKE VEROIGT By Majority Decision Pas chal and Morgan Are Or dered Reinstated. WICKERSHAM HANDS IN A DISSENTING OPINION! If 16-Hour Law Was Broken* Mediators Declare It Was Done at Official Behest. Railroad unions won a sweeping vic-t tory today when the board of arhdtra • tion of the Georgia railroad strike tained the contentions of the striking organizations on every point and or* dered the reinstatement of the men* whose discharge precipitated the walk out. Tlie decision was handed down isl the United States court room at nooiw it was the majority opinion of F. W. Burgess, representing the unions, an<l Judge William L. Chambers, of Wash ington, D. C., the third arbitrator, named by the United States depart ment of commerce and labor. President C. G. Wickersham, of tha Atlanta and West Point, handed in a dissenting opinion. Morgan and PaschaJ Ordered Reinstated. The arbitrators ordered that Conduc tor J. T. Paschal, whose discharge caused the strike of the Order of Rail road Conductors, be reinstated imme diately with full pay from the time ofl his discharge. They ordered that A. M. Morgan, the discharged trainman whose casd caused the walkout of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, be reinstated immediately with full pay from ten days after the time of his discharge. In the Paschal case the Georgia rail road officials maintained that he had violated the sixteen-hour law. Th» arbitrators ruled that if he had vio lated this law he it under in structions of officials of the road and could not be censured. Verdict a Complete Victory for Unions. Morgan was discharged for turning in an expense account larger than his legitimate expense. The majority ruled that his offense was technical; thaG when the trainman’s attention was called to the discrepancy he made it good promptly. The most severe pen alty they could conceive of was ai ten days’ suspension. It was therefor® ordered that he be reinstated and paid for all the time he lost except the ten days immediately following the ordeS for his discharge. The members of the board met at 9 o’clock to prenare their decision. At that time it was said that minor differ ences between Wickersham and Bur gess alone prevented a decision. It was Judge Chambers' desire to straighten out these differences before making thd report. The decision today ends the last chapter of the strike, which during Sep tember threatened to tie up the entire railroad system of Georgia. Paschal to Blame, Says Wickersham. Mr. Wickersham maintained that Paschal had violated the railroad bul letin, as well as the sixteen-hour law, when he undertook to carry his train from Conyers to Lithonia. He de clares: “When Paschal left Conyers, knowing as tie must that he could not get to Lithonia,’put his train on a siding and go off duty, he deliberately created a condition where he must of necessity violate the law, subjecting the company for which he worked to penalty, am! the violation is flagrant, for the reason that at Conyei;s Conductor Paschal had ample opjiortunity to obtain orders in regard to what he should dot with his ; train. He admitted that the discipline ad ministered for the initial offense was too severe. Mr. Wickersham says that a suspension of 30 days would have been proper, but adds significantly, "When the management first under took to deal with him." provided Pas chal had admitted he violated his in structions. Considering Paschal’s • attitude, be declares the sentence imposed was just. He favored reinstatement if Paschal could be induced to admit that he was guilty of a violation of the rules an<4.
