Knocked Un-1 conscious in Burning House, Is Suffocation. 2 RESIDENCES DAMAGED AS FLUE STARTS BLAZE' Neighbors Save the Furniture' of One Tenant Who Was Vacating Place. Lieutenant John Peel, of fire compa ny No. 11. was knocked unconscious as .e played a hose inside tlie burning residence of J. R. Cobble, 150 West Pine street, at 10:30 o’clock today. Though the room in which he fell was filled ■ with smoke and the flames were raging i all about him, comrades rushed to the I rescue and dragged him from the burn ing building. The fire started as Cobble, an engi neer on the Southern railway, was moving his furniture from the house 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 the exception of one wagon load of fur niture. When the flames were seen, neighbors rushed to his aid and saved everything. Adjoining House Also Is Damaged. The flames spread to the next house, f 146 West Pine street, occupied by M F. j Boisclaire, a merchant at Luckie and | 'West Pine streets. When the firemen arrived Lieutenant Peel led the attack on the flames in the Cobble residence. Mounted on a lad dr, he was playing the hose, when a streak of flame leaped out and burned his hand. He attempted to hold the hose with one hand while he tried to shove the ladder farther away from the fire. The stream was too strong. The noz zle flew from his grasp and struck him on the head. He fell to the floor un conscious. The room was filled with smoke, and fellow firemen had difficulty in finding him. When he was carried to the air he was suffering from the smoke in his lungs 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, hut on account of the work of the neighbrs the damage eras limited. R. M. Rose, a railroad conductor, owns the Boisclaire property, while Jack and Frank Kramer are the own ers of the Cobble residence. Lieutenant Peel is a brother of Mrs. Jacques Futrelle, widow of the famous writer who went down with the Titanic. WILSON, RECOVERED FROM INDIGESTION, TO BANQUET TONIGHT Hamilton, Bermuda, Nov. 26.

HOLDS WOMAN ON NURSE'S STOOY Mrs. Emma Hudson Is Bound Over When U. S. Officer Hears Girl’s Story. WARRANTS AGAINST 4 MEN ARE DISMISSED ■ Young Nurse Repeats Narra tive of Theatrical Experi ence in Atlanta. Mrs. Emma Hudson was bound over this afternoon accused in a “white slave" plot in the case of Miss Geneva Goodwin, a 19-yeai -old trained nurse 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 SI,OOO was assessed against Mrs. Hudson and I put up by George Zellner, one of the backers of the company. It is return able on .he first Monday in Marclj. 1913. Early in the afternoon it was known j 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 to fall in with the ways of the com pany. -•—« - —nW 1 * •» United States Commissioner Colquitt expected to hear a number of women witnesses at 3 o’clock, but shortly after that time he announced that he had determined to bind 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 was 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. in. 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 refused 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 Ja<ckson 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. Gobdwin, 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 was Inclined to be prudish. Detective Chewning testified that he ; had gone to 34 Garnett street looking i 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 ; t 270 Whitehall street. Detective J. H. Lt -a Is testified to the same facts.

GOVERNOR HO’I er plea of || Brother of Stella Hearn to Escape Chaingang Term. Won by the plea of fourteen-yi av oid Stella Hearn, \vho 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 gill’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 w;as very happy this morning when she called at the capitol and was informed that the governor had agreed to gran*, her request. “I am sure Love will make a well behaved prisoner,” said Miss Hearn, “and I am deeply grateful to Governor Brown. 1 am sure lie has a kind heart. I felt that he would grant my request. 1 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 “(.-lose 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 lie found his wife and Captain Boyce’s son. with whom she hail eloped to Winnipeg, Canada, she confessed that the Boyce family was plotting to kidnap the jSnead 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 lie 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. Later Weaver was relta»< ! 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. Tlie Federal authorities tills after noon withdrew tlie warrants against Jack Amerson and Arthur Jackson in the “white slave" cases, and indicated that they would withdraw those against tlie ottie; men. but continue tlie prose cution of Mrs. Hudson. CAN’T STOP PROSPERITY NOW, ASSERT STATESMEN WASHINGTON. Nev. 26 -That the Jiilext UMbsy- is baskiug in the glow of the greatest prosperity she lias 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 tlie 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 it. Tillman began today in the South Carolina supreme c*urt, Chief Jus tice Gary presiding. The petitioner in fact is Benjamin It Tillman, Jr., but his aged father is the one who is purshing the pending ease. The hearing was before tlie full supreme court. Many women prominent In (he higher social walks of tlie state and men of 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, Douschka 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. It. 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 j whole time of the court until near noon, ] when a recess of ten minutes was taken. After the recess Henry A. Tillman, of counsel for the petitioners asked for an extension of time to put in evidence af fidavits In rebuttal to those Mrs. Dugas, alleging that B It. Tillman, Jr., had been under the influence of intoxicating liquors in November of this year. This the court allowed, extending the time until Monday. The case Is remarkable because of the fact that the aged senator. In the bill of particulars tiled with the court, has ad mitted that ids son has been a drunkard, though he is now reformed. The suit is for the custody of the sena tor's two grandchildren, the offspring of his son and his daughter-in-law. formerly Lucy Dugas, a granddaughter of former Gorver I’ivkens. of this state. At present the little ones are in the custody of their I mother, who resides at Edgefield, but who NIGHT IDITIQN - 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 Utafi: "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.” 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 we.s 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 jjiem,” 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 young Tillman was a drunkard and was unable to support their children. The, sen ator was much downcast by this finding and for a long time refused to discuss his son's falling. He was overtaken by a paralytic stroke which nearly cost him | his life. During his convalescence he [ called for the children continually, rnourn | Ing their loss in his delirium. | In the summer of 1912 Mrs. Tillman, Jr., | got a divorce In Ohio from her husmand, the senator's young son, and since that I time she lias lived in Edgefield. It was I in 1910, two years before the divorce de cree, that the children were granted to I her by the South Carolina supreme court, after a severe fight against Senator and Mrs. Tillman and B. R. Tillman, Jr. In the South Carolina court today the case was begun in which the Tillmans are making their last effort to get the chil j dren away from their mother. WORLD SOCIALIST STRIKE CALLED TO PROTEST WAR BASLE. Nov. 26.—The International Socialist congress, in convention here today ordered a 24-hour strike on De icember 16 us a protest against war. 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE VICTORY FOR UNIONS IN MIKE VERDICT By Majority Decision Pas chai 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 tors- 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, w-hose 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. Wickersham, of the Atlanta and West Point, handed in 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 ol his discharge. They ordered that A. M. Morgan the discharged trainman whose cas« 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 hftc 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 ano could not be censured. Verdict a Complete '$ t Victory for Unions. Morgan was discharged for turnin/1 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 Chamb'ers’ 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 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, I 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 necessity 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 bad i ample opportunity to obtain orders ir i regard to what he should dot with his i train. | He admitted that the discipline ad ministered for the initial offense was i too severe. Mr. Wiekersham says that a suspension of 30 days would have been proper, but adds significantly, “When tlie management first under took to deal with him," provided Pas chal had admitted he violated' his in structions. Considering Paschal’s attitude, he declares the sentence imposed was just He favored reinstatement if Patella could be induced to admit that he wa: guilty of a violation of the rules am instructions.
