A. HOLZMAN The Jeweler. 92 Whitehall Street. mt ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1912. LOVEJOY HEADS N. E. MINISTERS Presiding Elder of Atlanta Dis trict New President of Pastors’ Meetings. The annual election of officers of the Methodist Ministers Meetings, held this morning at the Wesley Memorial church, resulted in the choice of Dr. \V P. Lovejoy, presiding eider of the At lanta district as president: Rev. C. V. Weathers, of East End. secretary,.and Rev! Frank Hudson, of East Point, treasurer. A “steering committee” to prepare programs for Monday morning meetings was chosen as follows: Dr. C. O. Jones, paste of the First Methodist, formerly of St. Johns, Augusta; Rev. S. R. Belk, of Farit Street; Rev. Charles Bass, of Bolton: Rev. A. W. Quillian, of Inman Park, and Rev. G. M. Eakes, of St. Johns. Dr. Belk offered a resolution of sym pathy to the family of Dr. Junius W. Millard, who died yesterday. Interest in Christmas Fund. Discussions led by Di. Lovejoy, Major R. J. Guinn, M. M. Davies and others aroused great interest in the Christmas fund for the Wesley Memorial hospital. This fund is "olleeted annually from the congregations of the Methodist churches, and the plan adopted for the collection on Sunday morning, Decem ber 22, is to have the superintendents utge next Sunday that parents and children join in the movement, and that the ministers make their Sunday ser mons along the line of the need of the hospital for more funds. Major Guinn declared that with the co-operation of Methodists the local hospital could not only be made entire ly self-supporting, but the church could build a structure on the present site equal to any south or west of Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Mr. Davies de clared that last year pay patients had turned into the hospital coffers $12,000, and that with more such patients the hospital need cost the church nothing. The hospital is badly overcrowded and the church membets feel the need of new or additional quarters, but nothing definite has been planned. Many Patients Cared For. I'or the fiscal year ending November U 1912, the seventh annual report of the hospital trustees shows that 954 pa tients were treated, among whom were 434 Methodists. 225 Baptists, 108 Pres byterians. The total income of the in stitution was $36,620, all spent for tun ning expenses The North Georgia con ference gave $2,237.96 for the Christmas fund in 1911, and the South Georgia conference $1,161.81, a total of $3,399.77. The Atlanta district gave $1,204.15. From the opening of the hospital, Au gust 16, 1905, until November 1, 1912, there have been treated in it 5,193 pa tients, of whom 2.869 have not been able to pay for tbeir treatment—over half of 'he total number. The value of charity work, estimated al prime cost, has been $59,151.06 in these seven yea s. During the same period the Christmas collec tions have aggregated only $23,565.86, or $35,949.20 less than the hospital has expended upon the poor. The original cost of the ground and first building was $17,500. Thus it appears that the hospital has “given itself away” twice in seven years. EARTHQUAKE RECORDED.

WATCH OUR WINDOWS KING HARDWARE COMPANY 87 Whitehall 53 Peachtree GREAT DIPLOW STROGGLE AHEAD Turks to Try to Offset Defeat in War by Victory in Peace Conference. LONDON. Dec. 9.—Hoping to offset on the field of diplomacy what they lost on the field of battle, the Turks are preparing to resist with the most aggressive diplomacy any one exces sive demand by the allies in the peace conference which opens here Friday. Diplomatic circles learned today that the Turkish envoys are coming here under direct instructions from Sultan Hohammed V to use every method sanctioned by diplomatic usage to save what territory and national prestige they can. It thus appears that the battle of di plomacy may resolve itself into a con test between the "irreducible minimum” on the part of the Balkan allies against the national honor of the Ottoman em pire. Each of the five governments involv ed will be allowed three envoys. Social Affairs for Envoys. It is expected that the course of the negotiations will be marked by social affairs for the envoys. King George may give a dinner for the plenipoten tiaries if they settle ail the issues ami cably and without discord. Os the Turkish delegates only the name of Os man Nizami Pasha has been officially handed in to the foreign office. The Ottoman government has been puzzled to select the best men. Because of ,the importance of his standing with the Balkan league, Pre mier Venizelos, of Greece, is expected to be one of the outstanding figures at the conference. He will probably ta’ke the place of one of Greece’s military delegates in the conference, the latter acting as an assistant. Prmier Veni zelos and Foreign Minister Coromilas. of Greece, were two of the prime movers in the formation of the Balkan league. Austria Against Peace. Reports were received hgre today from Vienna that Austria is urging Turkey to assume an uncompromising attitude, but official circles close to the foreign office cast doubt upon this. They declare that Vienna would not dare to threaten the peace of Europe so openly. In part said Kimlal Pasha, in a mes sage from Constantinople: "We have very strong hopes that peace will be restored, but as the Bul gars have not yet definitely formulated their conditions I can not say whether this hope will be fulfilled.” The grand vizier characterized Greece’s actions as "pouring water into her wine.” Servia’s Envoys Off, With Orders BELGRADE, Dec. 9.—Servia's envoys to the London peace conference left here today after receiving final instruc tions from Premier Pasitch. The de parting plenipotentiaries were G. No vakovitch, of the treasury department; A. Nikolitch. speaker of the Skupshtina, ’and General Boyovitch. They will meet in Paris the Servian minister to France, Mr. Vesniteh, who will proceed tot London with the en voys. JUSTICE RE-ELECTED. WAYCROSS. GA.. Dec. 9.—George L. Mock and J. M.

NEGRO PAIR SLASH MAN’S POCKETS AND GET 150 DIAMONDS CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Detectives today are searching the negro quarter of Chi cago for two robbers Who attacked Jo seph Marochnick, a New York diamond importer, and robbed him of $27,500 in diamonds and $1,600 in currency. The robbery occurred in Michigan avenue, one block south of the Blackstone hotel, at midnight. Marochnick was slashed with knives and razors as he fought with the high waymen. The diamonds were.ltis own property and were not insured. His coat was slashed In a number of places and there was an ugly gash across the back of one hand when he rushed to a police station and told his story. Marochnick fought desperately, he said, but the negroes slashed at him and cut open the pocket in which the dia monds were carried. They also cut away his necktie, in which was a dia mond pin. The stolen stones consisted of 150 unset diamonds. Marochnick was to have been mar ried in January. DALTON VOTERS TO NAME OFFICERS ON WEDNESDAY DALTON.
