GATHERING FOR
CONVENTION
-eature of Big Meeting Will Be
Exhibition of Appliances
at Auditorium.
The men who hav«- Gone more, p- -
tap-, to throw light on various sub
sets throughout the United State.'.
,’anada and Mexico than any other
;roup of Americans, are arriving In
Atlanta today for their national con
'■ 'ention. which opens at the Auditorium
text Monday and lasts all the week.
They are the ftas makers of thecoun
trj the men who put ball bearings in
lite meters, th® to whom living is a
>lpe. They are coming from ns far
A’eßt ns San Francisco and at far East
e Boston to discuss ways and means
’or inducing consumers to cook with
;as. warm by gas. read by it. sleep by
:t, have teeth pulled by it.
They are bitter rivals of the electric
.•ompanies, it may bo said, notwith
standing the fact, that 9!) per cent of
:hem also are the main works in their
tome electric plants. They expect to
jet together on a campaign which will
make them rich as gas producers and
break them a* electricity makers,
thereby preserving the balance and re
maining in comfortable circumstances
To Show Appliances.
The convention Is that of the Na
tional Association of Commercial Gas
Companies. Almost every city where
there is a gas plant ami a meter reader
has a member. They come armed with
papers on chemistry, metallurgy and
engineering, besides several report on
the psychology of knowing how long to
wait before cutting off the gas of a de
linquent consumer.
Rut it won't be al! convention The
biggest thing of the week to the aver
age man or woman Is the exposition of
gas appliances which hundreds of man
ufacturers will have at the Auditorium
The exhibits have been corning In by
the carload for the past week and are
being installed in the Auditorium and
connected to the mile -of gas pipe which
the local company put In t" furnish the
Juice for the show.
There are gas stoves |u.-j tie- Iz.e f.
a one-egg breakfast and on through the
irdinary small family size up to a range
which would furnish food for the con
vention. There are gas irons, re.clc to
press hubby’s trousers while he waits
in the bath room. Tin to are gas heat-
the tit. warranted to produce
n tubful of l>. Hing water while you dis
robe. There are gas heaters which stay
Gown in the basement and send up hot
water through pipes when you turn the
spigot and wait awhile.
Also Some Lamps.
There are gas lamps with 77,6 kin.i- of
incandescent mantles, each better titan
the other. There are gas lamps which
stand straight up. upside down and
sidewise. And—these are for manufac
turers' interest only—there are gas me
ters of a hundred types, all high-geared
and well oiled, guaranteed to work day
ano night, whether In a union house
hold or the home of a plutocrat. There
are quarter-in-the-slot meters ingeni
ously devised to shut off the gas just
when the visitor in the household has
drawn his fourth ace and is ready to
rake in the pot. For details of exhibit
see catalogue.
Officials of the Atlanta Gas Eight
Company nre hosts to the convention,
and this company alone is spending
thousands of its hard-earned dollars on
entertainment ami other expenses. Big
pipes have been run above ground frou
the mains to the Auditorium, which
formerly was lighted by electricity
alone, and smaller pipes lead to every
square yard in' the great building,
ready to be tapped for various appa
ratus. The amount of gas used next
week will keep the company hustling,
for the exposition wil. use as much ns
all the hotels, restaurants and public
buildings combined. Th, local com-
Puhy and its ofii< iais plan a dozen din
ners apd a theat<- party :.t the Grand

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B . NEVIN.
The . ..mpilation of the national pres
idential vote Is approximately complete,
and tit’ results are most interesting,
Im
. ~r 1 On
and will settle a
few 1 . ■ gl
still unadjusted,
even if it is Spe
cifically and em
phatically against
the law to bet on
elections in Geor
gia.
A s i n d I c a t e <1
several weeks ago.
the chief point of
interest In the re
turns is the falling
off the astonish
ing falling off -of
the vote this year
as compared with
the vote of foir
years ago.
Wilson did not
poll the Democratic Bryan vote of jhjb,
ami the total Repubhi <n vol" of Roose
velt and Taft fell ev -n shorter of the
vote cast for Taft when Bryan and
Taft were pitted against tach other.
Wilson's total in the nation is 6,156,-
, 784. as against 6.393,182 lor Bryan last
time, which indicates that Bryan had
23(1,434 votes margin in ISOs over the
total Democratic vote this year.
Roosevelt and Tuft together this year
got 7,304 562. which is 333,114 less than
Taft got last time
These figures show a total decrease
l In the Vote this year of 569.1,84 In the
two old parties!
In the split of the Republican vote
Roosevelt got 3.928.140. as against Taft’s
3.376,422, which shows a difference of
521,718 In Roosevelt's favor much loss
than many persons thought the differ
ence would be.
Roosevelt ami Tail togethe. totalled
1,147,814 over Wilson, and that is about
100,000 less than Taft beat Hryan in
190 S.
• 'li.'ifln, the I’rohibiti"tiist, g"t just
about the same vote nationally that be
got last time, but Debs neatly doubled
his vote - running this time interest
ingly cloth to a round million in all!
The figures carry various meanings,
of course, as politicians analyze them
according to their various shades of
opinion.
Tim strung "t thing about it .ill Is
that the total vote which should have
run nearly 1,600,000 more Inis tltni than
it did last by reason of increas* d pop
ulation actually fell off half a million!
When on January 1 Joe S. R. j nolds,
solicitor general of the Augusta cir
cuit superior court, retires, one of thO
most popular as well as most efficient
prosecuting attorneys in Georgia will
have finished a line term of service.
Mr. Reynolds lias been solicitor for
twelve years Hire.' full terms. Antici
pating his retirement, tl.e grand juries
in every county in his circuit have
passed highly < omplinienta v resolu
tions concerning him ami the evellen;
work ho has done as solicitor.
Mr. Reynolds retired voluntarily, as
it is agreed in Augusta that he might
have had tile office again for the ask
ing.
lie will he succeeded by A. L. Frank
lin, who won out. after a hard tight,
over J. S. Peebles and Wallace B.

house until Marcli 4. but from this time
until then, lie will continue his duties
as house parliamentarian.
Mr. Crisp, like most D'-mo-rati- con
gressmen nowadays, is very optimistic
witii respect to the outlook. He be
lieves that the T>moe:at. .by proceed
ing sensibly, may hold the fort for
many years to come; and he believes,
moreover, that they will proceed sanely.
If there Is any one thing that bother-,
Mr. Crisp at a ,itis t narrow n i rgi n
of control by which the Dem will
prevail In the senate.
“If wo might transfer a portion of
our big house majority -which really is
bigger than it med be to the senate,
we should then be absolutely assured of
working Democratic administration
all the way through,” said Mr. Crisp
"As it is. however, we shall, in all prob
ability, be all right in tin senate!"
The <'orilele Rambldr has despaired,
In a measure, of electing “a south Geor
gia man” to the governorship and has
transferred its hope to middle Georgia
and Colonel <'ha R, Pendleton.
Significantly enough, The Rambler
says:
Tt seems next to impossible to
elect a man from south Georgia
for governor. We would suggest
that next we put a candidate in the
field from Macon, which, though, in
middle Georgia is really headquar
ters for our section of the state.
We believe Colonel Pendleton,
editor of The Macon Telegraph, to
be one of the very ablest men in
the state. He lias experience and
learning -Is both theoretical and
practical; sane and conservative,
while at the same time is progres
sive and constructive.
He is a man of whom we would
ail be proud to acknowledge as our
governor. Colonel Pendleton lias
not sought office and is not a poli
tician, but wouldn't ft be real re
freshing to go out of the ranks-of
politicians and select a real fine
character like Colonel Pendleton
for our standard-bearer'.' He is
south Georgia': hope.
It likely would be impossible to get
Colonel Pendleton Into a race for gov
ernor. hut if be would agree- to run. he
would, indeed, make an ideal candidate.
Not only would south. Georgia rally
splendidly to him, buLit is as sure as
anything can be that a large part of
north Georgia would In- equally as en
; huslastlc.
He has fought the battles of Democ
racy—standing straight up all the time,
too —in season and out. in good fortune
ami had, and there i« nothing ho could
accept that ho would not richly deserve.
But wh. r comes to getting him to
run If The Rambler can put that over,
Its proposition will have been solved in
■ Its most difficult aspect.

■ I Robert Sloan Teils of Killing of
Aged Peddler, Implicating
•‘Shot” Risley.
' Deci,'.ring that had it not been tor i.
woman’s curiosity he never would liav”
3 been arrested, Robert L* e Sloan, held
, in th. police station, confessed today
that he was present at the murder of
William Franklin, an aged miser, and
named Frank Risley as the actual slay
er Risley, also held as a suspect de-
■ nles any knowledge of the crime, and
says he can est.ildi.--h an alibi.
It was Mrs. Owen Webb, of 106 Gil
mer street, who found Sloan’s blood
stained clothing in his room and tola
the police of this clew. Mrs. Webb is
tl.e former Ruby Gaither, the woman
whose incarceration in the city stock
ade a few years ago led to a crusade
which brought about reform in that in
stitution. it was Ruby Gaither who
was trung up” by her thumbs to a
hook in the wall and left hanging there.
“If I hadn’t been fool enough to leave
those clothes in her house I'd never
have been arrested,” said Sloan. “Trust
a woman for getting a man into trou
ble.”
Risley, a young teamster, known to
his acquaintances as "Shot,” declared
Sloan’s statement a "frame-up." He
denied any knowledge of the crime.
“I was at the house of L. P. Gibson, a
dairyman, In East Atlanta, Saturday
night at the time this murder was done,”
he said. "I can prove that.”
The two will lie arraigned before Re
corder Broyles next Tuesday.
Sloan’s confession was, in substance,
as follows:
"I was standing near Pratt street
(only a few yards from No. 224) when
. old man Franklin passed and went into
224. 'Shot' Risley came along a few
feet behind, and asked me to step in
with him to buy some apples from the
j peddler. 1 walked in with him. There
f was not a hint of robbery or murder,
and I went with Risley' merely to buy
the fruit.
“We walked into the old man's room.
There wasn’t any light except two can
dles burning on a cigar box. 'Shot' told
I the pedd'er he wanted to buy a dime’s
worth of apples. Franklin stooped over
i his fruit box and selected four apples.
, 'Shot' told him he wanted six for a
i dime, and that he could get them at
that price In the Decatur street fruit
Stands.
“They had u few words, to the best
of my recollect ion. and while the old
| man still stooping over the fruit
box ‘Shot’ picked up a window weight
lying nearby, striking the old peddler
over the head. The old man dropped
to tjii tlooi without saying a word. 1
couldn't stand the sight of blood, and 1
stepped outside tiie door. Presently
’Shot' came out. He told me not to
1 say anything about what I had seen.
1 and he would divide with me. He
poured a handful of gold coins Into my
hand. It was a little more than SIOO.
He went home, and I went to my board
ing place on Gilmer street. That,was
the last I've seen of Risley until 1 saw
him in prison.”
