conscious in Burning House.
Is Near Suffocation.
2 RESIDENCES DAMAGED
AS FLUE STARTS BLAZE
Lieutenant John Peel, of lire compn
n- No. 11. was knocked unconscious as
e played a hose inside the burning
residence of J. R. Cobble, 150 West Pine
street, at 10:30 o’clock today. Though
• ■ room in which he fell was filed
ith smoke and the flames were raging
about him, comrades rushed to the
■scee and dragged him from the burn
lag building.
The fire smarted as Cobble, an engi
on the Southern railway, was
loving his furniture from the liouse to
his new residence in Hunnicutt street.
A defective flue is said to have been the
cause.
All of his goods had been moved, with
’he exception of one wagon load of fur
iture. When the flames were seen,
righbors rushed to his aid and saved
. rything.
Adjoining House
Also Is Damaged.
The flahib’s spread t‘o the host house.
46 West Pine street, occupied by M. F.
loisclaire, a merchant at Luckie and
West Pine streets.
Then the firemen arrived Lieutenant
Peel led ’the attack on the flames in the
Gobble residence. Mounted on a lad
ir. he was playing the hose, when a
streak of flame leaped out and burned
.Is hand. He attempted to hold the
.lose with one hand while he tried to
shove the ladder farther away from the
lire.
The stream was too strong. The nm
sle flew from his grasp and struck him
on the head. He fell to the floor uri
•onscious.
The room was tilled with smoke, and
fellow firemen had difficulty in filling
him. When he was carried to the air
he was suffering from the smoke in his
’ungs as well as the blow on his head.
Lieutenant Peel
Not Hurt Badly.
He was taken in an automobile to
his home in Fourth street, where he
soon recovered consciousness. His in
juries are not serious.
Roofs of both houses were destroyed,
but on account of the work of the
neighbrs the damag* was limited.
R. M. Rose, a railroad conductor,
owns the Bolsclaire property, while
■lack and Frank Kramer are the own
rs of the Cobble residence.
Lieutenant Peel is a brother of Mrs.
Jacques Futrelle, widow of the famous
rlter who went down with the Titanic.

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 Harling 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.

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

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.

U.S. HOLDS
WOMAN ON
NURSE'S
STORY
Mrs. Emma Hudson Is Bound
Over When U. S. Officer
Hears Girl’s Story.
WARRANTS AGAINST 4
MEN ARE DISMISSED
Mrs. Emma Hudson was bound over
this afternoon accused in a “white
slave” plot In the case of Miss Geneva
Goodwin, a 19-year-old trained nursr
who was brought to Atlanta last week,
ostensibly to act as a chorus girl in the
Metropolitan Musical Comedy company.
Warrants against four men in the com
pany were dismissed. Bond for 51.000
was assessed against Mrs. Hudson and
put up by George Zellner, one of the
backers of the company. It is return
able on the first Monday in March,
1913.
Early in the afternoon it was known
that warrants against Zellner and Jack
Amason had been dropped, while later
the warrants against Robert Grier and
A. J. Ponder, the backer of the show,
also were dismissed. Mrs. Hudson
alone was held because of her alleged
endeavors to persuade the Goodwin girl
t 6 fall In with the ways gt the cum,-
”pany. '
i United States Commissioner Colquitt
I expected to hear a number of women
witnesses at 3 o’clock, but shortly after |
that time he announced that he had
determined to Wnd over Mrs. Hudson
and no more witnesses were heard.
34 Women Were
Called as Witnesses.
Miss Goodwin took the stand this
morning before United States Commis
sioner Colquitt in the Federal building.
A feature of the session was the ap
pearance of 35 women witnesses sub
penaed by’ both sides.
Miss Goodwin testified that she whs
a nurse in Cincinnati when she was
engaged by a theatrical booking agen
cy and agreed to come to Atlanta to
join the Metropolitan Musical Comedy
Company. She arrived here at 3 a. m.
and was met by Robert Grier and taken
to 34 Garnett street, where she was in
troduced to Mrs. Emma Hudson. She
found beer bottles and cigarette stumps
in the room, and, becoming frightened,
told the members of the troupe that
she preferred to sleep in a hotel. Mrs.
Hudson, she said, offered to share her
bed with her, but the offer was refuted
and Geneva was taken by Arthur Jack
son to the Cumberland hotel, where she
spent the night.
Girl Declares She
Never Flirted.
She went back to the Garnett street
house the next day and was told, she
declared, that she must live as the wife
of one of the "odd'' men in the com
pany, and Jack Amason and Jackson
were designated as "odd.” She talked
a while and smoked a cigarette, but
refused beer. After the company en
joyed more beer, the girl went back to
the hotel. The next day she applied
for a place as nurse at the Grady and
St. Josephs hospitals, but was turned
down. She could get no money from
the troupe, she declared, to buy a tick
et back to Cincinnati.
On cross-examination, the girl
named her father for the first time.
He is W. A. Goodwin, of Pineville, Ky.,
a construction contractor for a coal
mining company. Geneva said she had
been two months in Cincinnati as an
under nurse and previously a sales girl
at a department store at Pineville and
previous to that time stayed at home.
She said she had gone to a local drug
store with Jack Amason for cigarettes
for Mrs. Hudson. She said she told the
members of the troupe that she didn't
flirt under any conditions.
Says Mrs. Hudson
Only Made Proposal.
In concluding her testimony, the
Goodwin girl declared that no member
of the company, with the exception of
Mrs. Hudson, had tried to teach her
anything Immoral, although Amason
had told her nobody waa inclined to be
prudish.
Detective Chewning testified that he
had gone to 34 Garnett street looking
for the company, but was told by a
drayman that the company’s effects had
been taken to the Terminal station. The
detective said he later found the troupe
at 270 Whitehall street. Detective J. H.
Lewis testified to the same facts.

This remarkable picture, taken Saturday at New Haven shows “Lefty” Flynn in the act
of getting away one of his famous punts. “Lefty” had not been given good support and was

GOVERNOH WON
BT PLEA OF GIRL
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 W’hlch he had b&en sentenced
In Judge Calhoun's court, the governor
today granted the gitl’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 very happy this
morning when she called at the capitol
and was informed that the governor
had agreed to grant her request.
“I am sure Love 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 I 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.
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 them 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 before
the shooting occurred. The state's at
torney swore out the perjury warrant.
Weaver was released on SI,OOO
ball.
swore that he took a statement from
Mrs. Hudson at the police station, in
which she asserted that Grier had wired
the girl $lO to Cincinnati, so she could
come on down.
The Federal authorities this after
noon withdrew the warrants against
Jack Amerson and Arthur Jackson in
the "white slave” cases, and indicated
that they would withdraw those against
the other men, but continue the prose
cution of Mrs. Hudson.
CAN’T STOP PROSPERITY
NOW, ASSERT STATESMEN
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—That the
United States today is basking in the
glow of the greatest prosperity she
has ever enjoyed, is the optimistic view
of members of the president's' cabinet,
senators, representatives and other
prominent men who are pouring into
the national capital preparatory to the
opening of congress.
With the country's granaries bulging
with the fruits of a bumper harvest and
her wheels of Industry grinding, public
men today declared that even the
change in administration would not
change the conduct of business
throughout the nation.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is
among the most optimistic, assuring
the nation that the agriculturists’ pock
ets are full.
Nothing Wrong
With Business.
"Nothing is the matter with condi
tions in the business world,” said the
dean of the cabinet today. "Every
thing looks fine and with the magnifi
cent crops we have harvested this fall
I see no reason for apprehension. The
farmers are obtaining good prices, and
that means plenty of money in circula
tion.”
"The prosperity which we are enjoy-
Happiness of Senator Tillman Is at Stake
FIGHTING FOR CHILDREN
COLUMBIA. S. C., Nov. 26.—Hearing of
an action of law which has as Its stake
the happiness of United States Senator
Benjamin R. Tillman began today in the
South Carolina supreme court. Chief Jus
tice Gary presiding.
The petitioner In fact Is Benjamin R.
Tillman, Jr., but his aged father Is the
one who is purshing the pending case.
The hearing was before the full supreme
court. Many women prominent in the
higher social walks of the state and men
o$ high prestige were present. Senator
Tillman was one of the most conspicuous
figures at the hearing. His son. Benja
min R. Tillman. Jr., the son’s divorced
wife and their two little daughters,
xouschka Pickens and Sarah Stark Till
man, were also in the court room.
At noon the hearing was adjourned un
til next Monday in order that the counsel
for young Tillman might present evid
ence in rebuttal to several affidavits sub
mitted by the deponent, Mrs. Lucy Dugas.
Each side was allowed one hour for pe
tition and exhibits of B. R. Tillman, Jr.,
and the return affidavit and exhibits of
the deponent, Mrs. Dugas. The reading
of these documents, both of which were 1
voluminous, consumed practically the .
whole time of the court until near noon, j
when a recess of ten minutes was taken, f
After the recess Henry A. Tillman, of I
counsel for the petitioners asked for an
extension of time to put in evidence as- |
fidavlts In rebuttal to those Mrs. Dugas, 1
alleging that B. R. Tillman, Jr., had been
under the influence of intoxicating liquors j
in November of this year. This the court ,
allowed, extending the time until Monday. I
The case is remarkable because of the
fact that the aged senator, In the bill of
I particulars filed with the court, has ad
mitted that his son has be-m a drunkard,
| though he is now reformed. •
IHNAL * * I
ing now,” said Secreary 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-’’
The suit is for the custody of the sena
tor’s tw<> grandchildren, the offspring of
his son and his daughter-in-law, formerly
Lucy Dugas, a granddaughter of former
Gorver Pickens, of this state. At present I
the little ones are In the custody of their !
mother, who resides at Edgefield, but who
Is said to be contemplating their removal
from the state.
This Is the second attempt of the
aged statesman to secure the two chil- •
dren. On the first occasion the court de
cided that the mother was better prepared
to rear the children because of the father’s
weakness for liquor, which was alleged
by his young wife.
The senator, on that occasion, wrote
Into a petition, which he submitted to the
court, a pitiful appeal. "We love them.”
he wrote in the midst of the formal legal
paper. "We love them dearly and we will
care for them tenderly.”
Wife Won Decision.
Despite all his personal popularity and
influence, however, the court decided in
favor of Mrs. Tillman, Jr., holding as
just her allegations to the effect that I
young Tillman was a drunkard and was I
I unable to support their children. The sen- |
atnr was much downcast by this find ng
: and for a long time refused to discuss his
I son s failing He was overtaken by a
| paralytic stroke which nearly cost him
! his life. During his convalescence he
called for the children continually, mourn-
| ing their loss in his delirium.
i In the summer of 191:.’Mrs. Tillman, Jr.,
1 got a divorce In Ohio from her husmand,
the senator's young son, and since that
j time she has lived in Edgefield. It was
I In 1910, two years before the divorce de
| cree, that the children were granted to
her by the South Carolina supreme court,
after a severe fight against Senator and i
Mrs. Tillman and B. H. Tillman, .Jr
In the South Carolina court today the 1
case was begun in which the Tlllrna’ s are
, malcng the'r last effort to get the chil
* dren away from their mother. 1
2 CENTS EVERYWHERE O V RB NO
VICTORY FOR
UNIONS IN
GA. STRIKE
VERDICT
By Majority Decision Pas
chai and Morgan Are Or
dered Reinstated.
WICKERSHAM HANDS IN
A DISSENTING OPINION
Railroad unions won a sweeping vic-,
tory today when the board of arbitra
tion of the Georgia railroad strike sus
tained the contentions of the striking
organizations on every’ point and or
dered the reinstatement of the men,
whose discharge precipitated the walk
out.
The decision was handed down in
the United States court room at noon.
It was the majority opinion of F. W.
Burgess, representing the unions, and
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. A. Wick er sham, of the
Atlanta and West Point, handed la a
dissenting opinion.
Morgan and Paschal / *
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 of
his discharge.
They ordered that A. M. Morgan,
the discharged trainman whose case
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. The
arbitrators ruled that if he had vio
lated this law he had done it under in
structions of officials of the road and
could not be censured.
Verdict a Complete f
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; that
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 a
ten days’ suspension. It was therefore
ordered that he be reinstated and paid
for all the time he lost except the ten
days Immediately following the order
for his discharge.
The members of the board met at 9
o'clock to prepare 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 the
report.
The decision today ends the last
chapter of the strike, which during Sep
tember threatened to tie up the entire
.qailroad 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 he 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 necessitj
violate the law, subjecting the company
for which he worked to penalty, and
the violation is flagrant, for the reason
that at Conyers Conductor Paschal had
ample opportunity to obtain orders in
I regard to what he should dot with his
I train.
1 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
be' n 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, he
deciares the sentence imposed was just.
IHe favored reinstatement if Paschal
' could be induced to admit that he was
guilty of a violation ot the rules and
(instructions
