William Franklin, an aged miser, and
named Frank Risley as the actual slay
er Risley, also held as a suspect de
nies any knowledge of the crime, and

It was Mrs. Owen Webb, of 10b Gil

stained clothing in his room and to d
the police of this clew. Mrs. W ebb is
the former Ruby Gaither, the woman
whose incarceration in the city stock

FLAT-JANITOR, WHO
STOPS LOVE MAKING,
WHIPPED BY FAMILY
1 NEW YORK, Nov. 80,—There is an
1 apartment house at 543 West 162 d
street, of which Oscar Roemer is, ac-
I cording to the revised version of flat
house lore, the superintendent. For
aeons it has been the privilege of the
janitor to run his caves as he jolly well
pleased, but the Foss family has estab
lished a precedent.
A few nights ago the daughter of the
1 house went to a dance with her best
1 young man, and upon reaching the floor
' where the Foss flat is situate, lying
and being, the pair paused a moment
to give vent to those sweet nothings
that kept Romeo and Juliet up night*.
' The West Indian lift boy grew im
patient because, as every’ one who
comes in late knows, even night lift
boys sleep. He ran the lift to the floor
Where the young couple stood saying
good-night, and in dulcet Demerar;?
tones said: "Going down.”
The couple lingered, and pretty soon
’ up came the lift with the superintend
-1 ent as a passenger. He said things.
Mr. Foss arose early and the story
was repeated to him. He summoned
the superintendent on the phone, and
' when that functionary left the Foss flat
' he presented a far different facial ap
pearance.
According to Roemer, the whole
Foss family—Joseph, the head of the
house: Charles and Samuel, his sons,
and Albert Salisbury, a son-in-law -
had pre-emptied his prerogatives. Mag
i istrate Kortel held them in $5,00 bail
1 each.

“Mr. Wilson, of Atlanta,” is the op
erating nom de plume of a clever con
fidence man who has introduced New

SPOT WHERE SCHRANK
FIRED TO BE MARKED
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 30.—Local Bull
Moos.-rs have started a movement to
mark with a bronze tablet the spot
where Schrank tired at Colonel Roose
velt
from Alaska to the Wedding of his sis
ter in Atlanta. He had got ;js, far as
New York when he discovered that he
was short $3.80 on his fare.
He telegraphed to the bride-elect to
send him some money and his sister
had just telephoned to him from At
lanta tiiat she was so sorry, but that
the bank had closed and it was too late
to telegraph any money at all. It was
then 4 o'clock and his train was to
leave for the Sunny South at 6 o’clock.
Then, the Easy Money.
What was to be done? A gurgle of
discovery and delight from the tele
phone booth. Somebody had just
passed the door of that booth down in
Atlanta. It was Mrs. Bings.
“Oh, Mrs. Bings! Do you know any
body in New York?” asked sister. "Cer
tainly,” answered Mrs. Bings. “My
dearest friend is Mrs. Blank, of Ninety
sixth street.”
Mrs, Blank was only too glad. She
gave $5 to Mr. Wilson, and Mrs. Blank’s
mother gave $5 more.
Mr. Wilson called at other house's in
the neighborhood. The others had the
same experience.

TURKEY AGREES
TO TRUCE TERMS
Tentative Peace Arrangement
Between Forces Reached,
and Fighting Ceases.
CONSTANTINOPLE,* Nov. 30.—A
tentative peace arrangement between
Turkey and the Balkan alli-s has been
reached. The Turks armistice arrang
ed by the plenipotentiaries and which
will be sigend within 48 hours, accord
ing to an official announcement, has
been brought about to pave the way for
peace terms.
The new armistice will be general
and will bring about a cessation of
hostilities throughout European Tur
key.
Final peace negotiations will be car
ried on upon the same basis as that
of the armistice.
The conclusion of the general armis
tice will, it is believed, have a salu
tory effect upon th-- European situa
tion.
Terms Please Turks.
Grand Vizier Kiamil Pasha, acting
for the council of ministers, rnnounced
the armistice, but he did not reveal
th. terms. He intimated, however,
that they were much letter than the
original terms imposed by Bulgarin
upon Turkey.
Aside front the question of territo
rial rights, one of the chief provisions
relates to the military forces. Neither
side will reinforce its armies at the
front so that tlte present positions will
be held by the belligerents during the
forthcoming negotiations.
Osman Nizami Pasha, Turkish am
bassador to Germany, who arrived at
tiie zone of the negotiations yesterday,
cast the deciding vote for Turkey In
tiie parley. I’pon Ills recommendation
Turkey accepted the modified condi
tions of Czar Ferdinand’s envoys.
Adrianople a Factor.
The capture of two divisions of Turk
ish reserves of 38,000 men. who were
on their way to succor Adrianople, is
believed to have been a strong force in
bringing about the suspension of hos
tilities.
That Turkey would hasten tiie peace
negotiations before conditions in Ad
rianople makes tiie surrender of that
Turkish stronghold Imperative, is the
opinion among foreign diplomats here.
Turkey desires to retain Adrianople as
ti Tmkish province, but this demand
would never lie countenanced by Bul
igaria ami the other allies if the city
fell b< for. a treaty was signed, it is
believed here.

RALPH PARLETTE IN
HUMOROUS LECTURE,
ON ALKAHEST COURSE
On next Monday evening. December
2, at th.- Baptist Taberaaxle, the Alka
hest Lyceum system will present Ralph
Parlett. , of Chicago, in a humorous lec
ture us the fifth number on the Alka
hest Lyceum course. Mr. Parlette is
unique. He is so serious that he is
funny. He deals in tiie every-day ex
periences of life, but presents them in a
manner that is entirely original, and
when lie is through you wish that he
had not stopped so soon.
Mr. Parlette is editor of Lyceum and
Talent, the leading lyceuni journal of
the country, but he is so popular as a
lecturer that he finds it necessary to
edit the magazine from the trains as he
travels. Some speak of him as being a
modem "Mark Twain,” and as a. lec
turer lias more return engagements
than any man on the platform.

out an old well in Turkey Creek dis
trict, Wilkinson county, was caught by
a cave-in and buried alive. His body

He summoned help, and diggers work

it was wedged against tiie curbing, un
der ten feet of dirt. He was dead. They
will probably get tile body out today.

TIFT TO DEPOSE
LONGSTREET'S
. WIDOW
1 j
Gainesville Postmaster, Bull
Moose Worker, Will Be Suc
ceeded by a Republican.
There is a real fight on for the post
mastership- of Gainesville, and the
prospect now Is that Mrs, Helen Dortch *
Longstreet, the incumbent, will have
give way within the next few day* to
James B. Gaston, a Republican.
Henry S. Jackson, of Atlanta, who
speaks by the card for the president in
these matters, is understood tb be op
posed to Mrs. Longstreet remaining in
charge of the Gainesville office after
her present commission runs out, and
as it expires on December 7, those who
keep tab on such things are looking
for a change within the next two or
three days.
In ordinary circumstances. It seems
that it Is Mr. Taft’s policy to rename
postmasters whose commissions are -to
expire before the end his term, but the
fight against Mrs. Longstreet has gone
to the point where trie office likely will
be given to another, even if that other
himself is removed within the next few
months.
It will be remembered that Mrs. (
Longstreet identified herself very em- |l
phatically with the Roosevelt move- •
ment in Georgia. She occupied a seat
on the stage at the Auditorium-Armory
as an especial guest of honor at the
big Bull Moose rally in Atlanta, and
was one of Georgia’s accredited repre
sentatives to tiie Roosevelt Chicago ,
convention.
"Perniciously Active.”
Technically, the charge upon w’hich
Mrs. Longstreet is to be put out is the
ancient and always handy "pernicious
political activity in office.” She holds
her present commission over President
Roosevelt’s signature «
James B. Gaston, who is slated for ’
Mrs. Longstreet’s position, is a Repub- J
lic.in and Is extremely popular in Hall
county ami northeast Georgia. He will
be acceptable to Gainesville, so it is ..
said, to the entire extent that
other Republican would. It is m-lM
thought that lie will be permitted to
hold the office a full term, however.
