The story of how other dealers refused to sell him milk was published yesterday in The Georgian, and it aroused a storm-of indignation among city’ officials and citizens generally.

Awoke to Consciousness in Antipodes to Find • Himself Destitute-—Helped by Masons He Makes Way Back to Atlanta and Declares He Will Straighten Out Tangle-—Joyous Re union at Home. .\\-rves shuttered, a shadow of his former self. Moise DeLeon, prominent Atlanta contractor, who disappeared in Chicago, Au gust 9. staggered into his home, 744 Piedmont avenue Thursday night, and told his wife the dramatic story of how. crazed by brain fever, he had wandered to the Pacific coast, where he was shanghaied and compelled to work as a coal heaver across the broad Pacific from Vancouver. B. C.. to Sydney, New South Wales. Mr. DeLeon toda.x began the work of straightening out his business affairs, which were imperrilled by his disappearance. Friends assert confidently that in a few weeks he will be able to resume his place as one of the South’s most prominent build- , "Y 3 mg men. It was a real Thanksgiving night for the DeLeon family. From the day. almost three months ago, that Mrs. DeLeon re- ’ eeived the cablegram announcing her husband was in an Austra lian hospital suffering from brain fever, she has expected his re turn every moment of every day. His home coming was unannounced. He took a street car at the Terminal Station and rode to his Piedmont avenue home. So severe had been the ravages of the fever that he was not recog nized at the station, although there were a number of his friends there. “I’m home,’’ he said, as his ring. And before the family fir story of his advertures. On leaving Atlanta, he had planned to spend several weeks hunting and fishing in the Mich igan woods. He went byway of Chicago in order to visit friends in that city. Worked As Stoker While In a Daze. The contractor remembers reaching Chicago and declares that on the after noon of August 8, he went to a ball game at the West Side park in the Western metropolis. The next thing he remembers is recovering consciousness in the Sdilors hospital at Sydney and being told that he had laid there for weeks suffering from brain fever. Practically all his clothing was gone. Elk and Masonic emblems, which he had always worn, were missing, and $2,000 which he had carried to Chicago with him was gone. In a money belt, which was not his own, S6O had been found. The hospital authorities told him he had reached Sydney aboard a Japanese coal ship. Coal dust and the fact that he was stripped to the waist Indicated to them that he had been working as a stoker. The ship had papers showing that she had cleared from Vancouver. Shanghaied, He Thinks, In Vancouver, B. C. Mr. DeLeon believes that he had wandered to Vancouver and was there shanghaied. A blow on the head, re ceived when he was a boy and which has troubled him several times, Is be lieved to have caused the aphasia. "Wife, Atlanta, cable,’’ were the first words he spoke when he began to re cover consciousness. A day later he was able to identify himself and It was then that the cablegram was sent to Mrs. DeLeon. In the hospital were several Masons. Mr. DeLeon identified himself as a member of the order and it was through their agency that he was financially able to return to Atlanta. As soon as his fever subsided he booked his return passage, coming byway of San Fran cisco. Mr. DeLeon is still intensely nervous as a result of his experiences, but his general condition is good. He at once began work straightening out his af fairs. For the present he Is keeping close to his home and Is particularly opposed to meeting newspaper report ers. Later, Mr. DeLeon says, he will give a complete account of his adven tures.
