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. 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.

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. James Hardaway, a stenographer, FIRST PHOTO OF HARVARD-YALE GAME 2hl I 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 forced to hurry his kick, but the great long leg proved equal to the occasion and the result was a 65-yard drive which, held back the Crimson attack several minutes. 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
