ARRIVAL OF GUNMEN OVERCROWDS DEATH HOUSE AT SING SING OSSINING,N. 5'., Nov. 27.- —Owing to the fact that there are seventeen prison ers in the Sing Sing prison death house, as a result of the arrival of the four Rosenthal gun men yesterday, it was necessary- for the authorities to make a rearrangement of the prison routine to day. During exercise hours, from 11 to 2, a half hour lias previously been allowed each condemned man for exercise, but the fact that there are seventeen inmates of the death house, today compelled the warden to cut this in half.

As "Dago Frank" lias a weak stomach, he does not j drink coffee, so the warden provided him with cocoa. ALVEY A. ADEE IS 70; U. S.

Tlie system of piling up the gar bage in back yards and alleyways is a relic of the ages of pestilence. Politics in the health and the ed | ucational departments of a city government is more ruinous than ‘ the influence of politics on any other function of a city govern ment. Atlanta needs a centra) com plaint station in tlie city hail, where complaints of all natures can be registered. The way to have a sanitary’ and healthy city simply is to let the people understand conditions. The greatest progress of munici palities today is along health and sanitary lines. I like this city witli its life and brightness. It is just tlie sort of city to adopt the newest and best ideas. These were some of the pointed statements made in an interview today by S. G. Lindholm, of the bureau of municipal research of New York, the expert on health, sanitation and educa tion brought to Atlanta by the Cham ber of Commerce to investigate At lanta’s problems. He is one of the specialists to follow Herbert R. Sands, who has completed a general survey’ of Atlanta’s administration and will make a report on his findings within a few days. "We live under artificial conditions in cities,” Mr. Lindholm said. “We have not the great quantities of blight sunshine and fresh air to automatically adjust conditions as in the country. We therefore- must adopt artificial methods to make conditions good. “Health, sanitary and educational departments of a government are dif ferent from the others because the re sults of the work are not so apparent. “It is obvious to every one whether a city- has good streets or beautiful parks. It takes' keen observation and long study to discover the effect of parks and playgrounds on tlie lives of the children. Garbage Collection Plan Wrong. “Hut the effect of bad living condi tions are more significant than the ef fect of bad streets. “The old idea was that garbage and trash should be collected in back yards [ AT THE PLAYHOUSES "THE HEART BREAKERS” IS GIVEN GOOD RECEPTION George Damerel and the rest of "The Heart Breakers" were received with much enthusiasm by the audience at the At lanta last night. Laughter, subdued and hearty, ripples of applause and broad smiles greeted the clever words and acts of the company. No show of the season has aroused a more enthusiastic recep tion than "The Heart Breakers," and though the audience was not so large as usual, it more than made up in expres sion of appreciation. The musical com edy is very much out of the ordinary. Instead of a big company of girls, and a few “chorus men,” there is a big com pany of men and a few girls. The men are not the ordinary type of chorus men, but good looking young fellows, with fine voices and nimble feet. The dozen or so girls of the company are pretty and graceful, and make up in quality what they lack In quantity. The plot of "The Heart Breakers" is clever and is emphasized more than the stories of most musical comedies. The lines are full of wit and humor, and most amusing complications are set forth. George Damerel, in the stellar role, is remembered on account of his excellent work in the Merry Widow at the mag nificent premier presentation of that fa mous show in Atlanta four years ago. He is an ideal “heart breaker." with a knack of saying soft nothings in a girl’s ear and a winning smile that would melt any woman's heart. His songs and dances with lovely Myrtle Vail are exceedingly well done, several of these suggesting the Merry Widow dances. The company is first-class in every way. There are no weak spots in the en tire cast, the several shining most par ticularly being Miss Vail, who is a win some little woman, with a sweet voice and much grace; Frederick Dunham, who is a good looking youth and dances well; Edward Hume, who handles the comedy end of the show to advantage, and De- Witt McLendon, very clever as the jeal ous husband. “The Heart Breakers" will be the at traction at the Atlanta for this afternoon and tonight. "EXCUSE ME" IS OFFERING FOR THANKSGIVING DAY The laughter season at the Atlanta will be added to tomorrow when, as produced and presented by Henry W. Savage for nine months at the Gaiety theater in New York. Rupert Hughes' farce, "Excuse Me,” will be the attraction. The fame of the laughter-producing qualities of this “Pull man Car Carnival" long ago reached this city and there is every promise that the farce will appeal to local playgoers. Mr. I Savage lias earned the reputation of a. ! manager who never does things by halves and in his mounting and easting of “Ex- I euse Me” he has shown the skill and care that have characterized every production sponsored by him. in the company that will interpret the Hughes' story are play ers well known to the local public by rea son of their having been identified with many foremost successes. STAR BILL AT GRAND IS DRAWING BIG AUDIENCES There is a something about the bill at ; the Grand this week that enlists attention i and that has attracted unusual early week I patronage. All day the box office is kept I busy filling orders for seats for some per formance ibis or next week, and at every show, whether matinee or night, more people have assembled in the theater than could be crowded in any other local place of amusement—an<l still there have been seats left The tremendous seating ca pacity of the Grand makes this possible. There are acts that make up for any ; little question of value as to others anti j if there is anything that might not meas ure to the usual standard, the something I that follows makes up the deficit with J good measure. I Juliet.'the singing comedienne and I imitator, has shown why she is one of the i big headliners of modern vaudeville. She iis t ute. pretty ami she is talented. Her . style of entertainment is totally different 1 from anything of the sort that has been seen in this city, and at every performance she has been given a real royal welcome. The sharpshooting of the Shillings Is wonderful and is attracting more than usual attention. The man and woman are | t Xpert in the use of firearms and some if their tricks make thrills that are re freshing. Th. bill for next week will bo headed l>y M. Intyr ■ and Heath, the. greatest of ali black 'ace character comedians. There is i outer act In ail the world lik< this. F - J irty year- the 'v- • •><.. been er. ami partners and alleys. You say that is the condi tion here. Tt Is absolutely wrong. "The garbage cans should be on the front sidewalk. That will insure its collection and removal to the crema tory. The citizen wouldn’t tolerate leaving his garbage in front of his house for long at a time. •‘Because our investments in sanitary and health work is an investment fol future rather than present dividends, a peculiar fitness of the officials in charge is required. Such investments are in vestments in human lives, human hap piness and human efficiency. “The officials in charge must have broad discretionary power. They must be free from politics. “Take milk dealers tor instance. They often feel that they are unjustly treated because the city interferes witli their , business, while other businesses are ; allowed to be controlled by natural | forces. “The head of the health department ' must be firm in handling such matters. It would be impossible for him to deal property with. them when they’ can bring political influence to bear. "Then the work of the department is too important to be disturbed by the political readjustments of a change of ’ administration.” Mr. Lindholm said his Investigation of the educational department of the city government would be along- the lines of hygiene and manual training. Calls Newspapers Great Power. He declared the object of public ’ school training is coming more and more to be to fit children for the actual struggle of life as well as give them a literary education. ; The newspapers, he said, can do ■ more than any other agency to improve a city’s educational and sanitary sys tems, for the arousing of public sen timent on these matters means results. He explained that It took agitation to arouse the public, because the results . of the work of these departments of the city government were not so obvi ous as th work of the other depart- . ments. Dr. Claude A. Smith, city bateriolo gist, explained to Mr. Lindholm a milk exhibit he was planning. He has made tests of the milk of the various dairy men. He expects to exhibit these tests along with the names and addresses of the dairymen in the city hall. Then the people can see who sells good milk and who sells bad milk. “That Is a good example of the new idea in city health work,” declared Mr, Lindholm. — I EMMA BUNTING REGISTERS SUCCESS IN “MERELY MARY ANN" That Emma Bunting is the cleverest leading woman that any stock company has ever had in Atlanta and that she is directly responsible for the great hit the first winter stock has ever recorded in tiiis city, is being more and more evi denced. This week at the Forsyth she is playing the leading role in "Merely Mary Ann" and if Miss Eleanore Robson played the part any better than the pop ular Atlanta actress, there is little to wonder, because the play was a long sea son success in New York. The story of the play Is good. But it is the actress that makes it. And'Emma Bunting is making this production the biggest and best success of her season here. It suits her so well that it might be believed that Zangwill had her in mind in writing the part. And the supporting company has never bad a grander oppor tunity to show its value and every chance has been accepted and registered. The scenic production is complete as to de tail and from the opening to the close there is not a moment that is not inter esting. Every audience has manifested the keenest sort of pleasure and the ad vance sale for the rest of the week indi cates that this will be the record for at tendance. "Lover's Lane" will be offered next week with Miss Bunting in another suit able character. “THE SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS" IS MAKING A HIT AT THE LYRIC The great popularity of the book should make the dramatization of the play, "The Shepherd of the Hills" which is being of fered this week at the Lyric, one of the most interesting attractions of the season. The scenes are laid in the Ozark Hills and the characters are all true to nature. In its appeal to the heart the play is equal to “Madam X,” although it has a better flavor. The company is good throughout, in fact, one of the best casts that has been seen at the Lyrls this season. John Thorn as Young Matt fills the role spledidly. Florence Williams as the Shepherd is an actor of ability, and all the other roles are in capable hands. WOMAN, CONFESSED POISONER, ACQUITTED ON ORDERS OF JUDGE SEDALIA, MO., Nov. 27.—Mrs. Pan sy JTien Hastings Lesh,’ charged with the murder of Mrs. E. M. Quaintance, of Green Ridge, Mo., was acquitted by the jury today. The court instructed the jury to find her not guilty, as the state failed to prove the corpus delect!. Mrs. Lesh’s confession started the investigation that led to the trial. Mrs. Lesli, with her uncle, L. P. Lut trell, will leave for Jacksonville, 111., tonight to visit her relatives.

Judge in Sentencing Painter Brothers Denounces Lawlessness in North Ga. The moonshiners of Fannin countv and the surrounding section will receive short shrift at the hands of Judge W. T Newnan when they face him in the Federal court hereafter, according to an announcement from the bench today As lie sentenced Joe, Ves and Jaspei Painter, three brothers who operated : still, a feud over which Is said to hav. resulted in the assassination of Moul ! trie Hughes and his baby. Judge New i man denounced the lawlessness pre . vailing in that section. “It undoubtedly’ was your still whicl. I started the trouble that resulted in Moultrie Hughes’ foul assassinatlot and the murder of his little baby,” the judge told the three brothers. “I wish I could send you all to tin penitentiary. There is not a doubt bur that Joe Painter is responsible morally for all the feeling prevailing in Fannli county, and there is no doubt but that lie was the financial backer of the stil which his two brothers operated. “He was the money’ and brains be hind that still, but the jury only’ found him guilty- of supplying raw material to his brothers. Therefore I can not sen tence him to the penitentiary and for that reason I will not sentence hit brothers to the same place. Joe's threats against the informer on th< still were tlie first indications of trou ble, which ended in the death of two.” Joe Painter was sentenced to serve six months in jail, while his two broth ers, who were convicted of moonshining were given five months and a fine of SIOO.
