NOW DENIES PLOT
TO KILL GAMBLER
“Bridgey” Webber, Informer
Against Becker, Repudiates
Confession Made at Trial.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10. —"Bridgey”
Webber, one of the four informers in
the Becker murder trial, returned with
his wife today from a trip to Havana,
with tlie amazing announcement that
there was no plot to kill Herman Rosen
thal. so far as he knows. He persisted
in this statement, in the face of tlie
fact that he so testified at the Becker
trial.
Webber is bitter against his fellow
informers —Rose, Vallon and Schepps—
particularly Schepps. He says he never
would have confessed, and had just paid
Max D. Steuer, a lawyer. SIO,OOO for a
defense when he heard Jack Rose had
confessed. Then he "got in line.”
No mention of killing Herman Ro
senthal was ever made to him, Webber
declared, but he had talked with Rose
about buying Rosenthal off or scaring
him out of town. The gunmen, accord
ing to Webber, were employed to
“throw a scare into Rosenthal,” and
two of them got drunk and killed him
instead.
Webber came back from Havana be
cause of the notoriety following the an
nouncement of his arrival in that city.
He denied that he had been called back
to testify in the graft investigation.
“I could not give them any evidence,”
said Webber, "for I don’t know of any
specific instance of police graft. I al
ways fought graft collection."
FATHER WRENCHES
GUN FROM DAUGHTER
AND KILLS HIS SON
DALTON, GA., Dec. 10—Robert Da
vis, who yesterday afternoon shot and
killed his son, Hewlett Davis, at his
home in Mill Creek valley, Whitfield
county, has been brought to Dalton by
Sheriff Gilbert and lodged in jail on a
coroner’s warrant of murder.
At the Inquest held at Mill Creek late
yesterday afternoon the evidence was
that Davis had become angry when his
son entered his premises and ordered
him away. Then, with his daughter
struggling with him for the possession
of a shotgun which he had seized, he
raised the weapon and fired, the charge
entering his son’s side, causing a wound
from which the boy died a few minutes
later.
The trouble grew out of a disagree
ment which caused the elder Davis and
bls wife to separate two months ago.
The sons sided with their mother, caus
ing the father to deny them his home.
Yesterday when the son went to his fa
ther's home it so aroused the anger of
the father that the tragedy resulted.
The prisoner is 75 years of age and is
a Confederate veteran. He has made a
success of farming during the past
years and has acquired considerable
wealth, being reckoned as one of the
richest farmers of the west side of the
county.

DEATH ENDS FLYING
MACHINE DREAM OF
WARTIME INVENTOR
Bringing to an abrupt end his life
long dream of perfecting a flying ma
chine which would be propelled with
wings like those of birds which
would rival even an eagle in soaring
and swooping through the heavens,
Professor O. R. Lane, one of the fore
most chemists and inventors of the
Confederate army, died in Atlanta last
night at 9 o’clock.
For the past three years Professor
Lane, who Invented a machine which
manufactured caps for the pistols of
Confederate cavalrymen, and who made
powder for the Confederate army, had
been working on his dream of a perfect
flying machine. For hours he would re
pose in some thicket, his face turned up
to the sky, as he sought to learn the
secret of the flight of birds. His funds
gave out, but loving friends came to his
aid and made him happy by helping him
to make progress with wh%t he thought
W’as his life work. Three weeks ago he
told them that all was in readiness ex
cept the selection of a motor to propel
the great sixteen-foot wings on hlsm:.-
chine. The motor was never chosen
and the wings were never unfurled aft
er that afternoon.
The old professor, who was given that
title for his exploits tn chemistry dur
ing and after the Civil war, had been
living in Atlanta since the war. H
was one of the first photographers h-
He was 78 years old and had lived ‘‘>f
years at his home at 11 Mell avenue.
He is survived only by his aged wife.
The bod-y was removed to Patterson’s
chapel, where the funeral will be held
tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock.
NATIONAL ASSURANCE
IS PLACED IN HANDS
OF COURT RECEIVER
Freak forms of lite insurance compa
nies also are subject to the provisions of
the new insurance stateute, according to
the ruling of Superior Judge Pendleton
made today in the case of the National
Assurance Company.
Attorneys for the defunct company con
tended that the National was an indus
trial lite organization and not amenabl
to the provisions of the new law. Stock
holders and creditors of the company and
the state insurance department had asked
the court to have the company’s affairs
wound up.
In turning the company over to court
receiver instead of the state insurance de
partment Judge Pendleton held that the
new law left either direction at the dis
cretion of the court.
Jerome Moore, who had been appointed
temporary receiver by tlie court several
weeks ago, was made permanent receiver
with a bond of $25,000.

NEW YORK CLEARING
HOUSE UNDER FIRE OF
MONEY TRUST PROBE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Determined
to show the control which the big clear
ing house associations possess or are at
tempting to acquire over tWe banks of the
country, the Pujo money trust investi
gating committee of the house at its ses
sion today turned the inquiry in the di
rection of the New York clearing house
association. Walter E. Frew, chairman
of the New York clearing house commit
tee and president of the Corn Exchange
Bank of that city, was the first witness
sworn.
Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the
committee, told the witness at the outset
the questions to be asked were not in
tended to reflect the committee’s opinion,
but merely to "assist in framing legis
lation.”
Frew admitted that generally speaking
the clearing house committee had all of
the powers of arbitration. He testified
that the committee along with certain
other committees had power to suspend
members of the clearing house.
"Isn't suspension about equal to ex
pulsion?” asked Untermeyer.
"Well, there are some restrictions to
that,” said Frew.
Frew admitted that suspension meant
withdrawal of all clearing house privi
leges.
Frew said he could not recall any case
where a New York clearing house bank
had been suspended and had survived the
shock.

COURT SENDSM
TOTM.SK
WITH BABIES I
Decision May Bring About Set*
tlement of Differences Be- 1
tween Divorced Couple.
COLUMBIA. S. C„ Dee. l O _ T .. ■
will be a real merry Christmas
home of Senator Ben Tillman this ~/■
Today there is more happiness 1,1
heart of the broken old statesman thLB
he has known for months. For
highest court of South Carolina has 7*
creed that his two granddaughters hi ß
pride and joy, are to spend nart of7 h J B
time with their father, his s on a ‘ ■
some of the days allotted him are ZB
of Christmas week.
This allotting of the children’s car*
was made by the supreme court aftera
bitter legal fight for their possessionbs
tween their father and his divorced wife
Mrs. Lucy Dugas. It was largely oi
account of the aged senator whose
heart was broken by th< separation
from hD grandchildren, that Ben Til;,
man, Jr., instituted the proceedings f O J
their possession, on the ground that he
has reformed and is now lit and c £pa .
ble of caring for them, as he was not
when the mother was first granted their
custody.
May Result in Reunion.
Dissatisfied with the decision, the at
torneys for Mrs. Dugas and for Tillman
today are attempting to come to W me
amicable settlement of the differences
between young Tillman and his dlvorc.
ed wife, and if it is not reached Mn,
Dugas, it is said, expects to sue Till
man for alimony. The attorneys hare
reached no decision as yet. Both Mrs,
Dugas and Tillman are dissatisfied with
the court's decree, each believing that
it allows the other too much of the
custody of the children.
Gets Children at Christmas.
Under the court’s ruling, the fathei
will have the children two months dur.
ing each summer vacation, half of the
Christmas holidays and one week each
spring. The rest of the time they will
spend with their mother. Until thej
reach their majority they will be wards
of the jsupreme court of South Caro
lina, and will not be permitted tc be
removed from that court’s jurlsuictioi,
Tlie South Carolina supreme court,
late yesterday, handed down a unan.-
mous opinion ordering this liisposit:-r
of the children who have beet: the istus
in probably the most noteworthy litlgt
tion of this character on record in
South Carolina courts.
The court is yet to approve an order
to be prepared by- counsel for the prin
cipals, B. R. Tillman, J:., and 11b.
Dugas, whereby this arrangement can
be cart led out. They are urged
by the court to agree on these details
without further controversy.
Fight Extends Many Years.
The fight for the custody of the Till
man children has been in the courts for
years. Young Tillman first deeded tb<
children to his parents, Senator and
Mrs. Tillman. Later Mrs. Dugas se
cured a divorce in the Ohio, courts at
Cincinnati, following which she brought
suit for tlie custody of the children, and
won.
The loss of his grandchildren was n
serious blow to the aged senator. It
was largely on his account that the.'
father, a few weeks ago. instituted pi
ceedings to recover the custody of the
little girls, claiming that he hail com
pletely reformed and was qualified 14
properly care for them, and charging
that Mrs. Dugas was on the eve of tak
ing the children from Edgefield, where
she now resides, to Ohio, where she in
tended to make her future home, thus
removing them from the jurisdiction of
the South Carolina courts.
Mrs. Dugas two weeks ago presented
affidavits to show young Tillman had
not completely reformed. A week later
these affidavits were answered by Till
man. Yesterday’s decision was a "Bl
ing on the questions brought up
these hearings. The court directs th?- 1
both Tillman and Mrs. Dugas furnish
$5,000-bond to carry out the provision
of the decree.
