'RAILROAD MAN TELLS HOW HE TRAILED PAIR Declares He Spent His Meager Fortune Following Them Over United States. “Anglin’s charges against me are false and without foundation. The animus behind them will be shown up at the proper time and place,” said W. R. Jes ter today, in a statement to The Geor gian, replying to the suit filed against him in the superior court by J. T. An glin. Anglin sued Jester for $50,000 dam ages. charging that Jester had alien ated the affections of Mrs. Anglin. The >uit was the outgrowth of marital trou bles of the Anglins, which already had attracted wide attention. The story included a chase across tiie American continent, with Anglin as pursuer, and Jester and Mrs. Anglin as pursued; a fight between Anglin and Jester in Macon a short time ago, and a divorce suit Instituted by Mrs. An glin. Father of Wife Also Is Accused. The damage suit -I’auy pJst, uses ■the sum of $1,994.80. to repay expenses in curred by Anglin in his trans continen tal trips and hi travels on the trail of his wife. Ira. Bradshaw, father of Mrs. Anglin, and formerly a carpenter in Jester’s employ, is alleged to have had knowl edge of his daughter’s infatuation for Jester, wealthy contractor, and his name is several limes brought into the suit. Jester's statement today follows;: All that I desire to say at this time in reference to the sensation al allegations made by J. T. Anglin in the suit tiled against me is that at the proper tiirr- and place the animus of same will b- shown up and the charges will be shown to be false and without foundation." Says He Spert All His Money Trailing Pair. Anglin recites In his suit that Jes ter. by his fortune of $300,000, cunning ly, craftily and with great subtlety, worked or: the mind of Mrs. Anglin and by shoving her the allurements of a life of iuxury and ease, such as Anglin could not give her, gained a great ascendency over her. He alleged that Jester was a married man, though sep arated from ills wife, at the time lie was paying these attentions to Mrs. Anglin. "Your petitioner iias spent all his monej in an effort to frustrate the de signs of Jester," recites the petition, “and by reason of twice crossing the continent to prevent the wreck of his home has been reduced to such straits tiiat at times he has not had even car fare.” H- alleges further that Jester lias given Mrs. Anglin valuable pres -5 ents of diamonds, clothing, pleasure , trips and other luxuries. The suit recites that Anglin married Mamie Bradshaw, daughter of Ira ’ Bradshaw, a carpenter, on April 19. 1911. in Atlanta, and the couple went to El Faso.

About June 7 Mrs. Ang lin left for Atlanta, leaving her husband behind, Happy in the belief that she would return to him. There had not t been a cloud on the honeymoon thus far But Mrs. Anglin remained in Atlanta 51 and finally a letter “from one of her I lady friends" came to Anglin telling i him Bradshaw’s illness was not such as • to render his daughter’s presence nec essary. Then Anglin’s brother wrote that Mrs Anglin was taking daily mo , tor rides with W. R. Jester. And at the same time came a letter from the , wife, saying she was enjoying life in , Atlanta and hated to leave. But Mrs. Anglin returned to El Paso and her father went with her. It was a short time after this, recites Anglin, that he discovered his wife writing a letter. She -tarted in surprise, and he became suspicious. After a struggle I Continued on Page Two. ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1912. Chance Not Yet Free I to Manage Yankees, I Herrmann Deciares' Hitch Develops in Deal That Was to Send Famous Leader to New York. CINCINNATI, Dec. 18.—Despite all reports to the contrary, the declaration ■ was made here today by Garry Herr- ’ mann, president of the Cincinnati Reds, ' that he has not released Frank Chance, I former Cub manager, to the New Yok Highlanders. Herrmann obtained Chance through the waiver route. When Joe Tinker was traded to Cin cinnati it was reported that the claim on Chance had been relinquished. This was strenuously denied by Herrmann today. Just what tiie hitch is in tiie deal I has not yet developed. Police Matron Warns Girls of Tight Dresses And 'Trotting* Streets Three “don’ts" for girls were issued today by Mrs. Mary Bohnefeld, police matron, who has come in contact with several hundred young women during the year. She says: “Don’t trot the streets and make a spectacle of yourself. "Don't paint and powder and burden . your head with false hair. "Don’t wear tight, immodest dresses.” These three faults, Mrs. Bohnefeld de clared, have figured in the case of every girl brought to her notice this year. "I have found," said Mrs. Bohnefeld, “that the wayward girl, the girl who will not be controlled by her parents, who frequents the streets, who paints and powders and wears great bunches of false hair and tries to be as fancy a- possible, and who thinks it smart to wear immodest clothing, is the kind of girl who finally lands in the police sta tion. These three faults invariably go together." BOULEVARD PAVING ONLY A MAKESHIFT. SAYS CONTRACTOR At a meeting of property Jioiders on North Boulevard last night G. Ai. In grund. president of the Southern Bitu lithfc Company of Nashville, declared that the bituminous macadam on North Boulevard which has called forth the denunciation of the property holders was a mere "fnakeshlft," but Is just what the specifications cal! for. He said the fault was not witli his company, but with the people, who had decided upon a form of paving which will not stand the wear of heavy traffic. Ho also declared that his company would finish the contract unless pro hibited by a court order, but made a proposition to take off the top paving already laid and replace it with more' substantial material, at an additional cost. A committee of property holders will be appointed to look into the several propositions offered for the reconstruc tion of the street, and to decide upon a definite plan with the city construction department ant! the contractor. JUDGE BELL TURNS COSMOPOLITAN LIFE OVER TO THE STATE Superior Judge Bell today formally turned the affairs of the Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Company over to the state in a consent order taken by all attorneys concerned. Assistant Commissioner John Cope land said today that the company's af fairs would be administered by the state for the present, at least until all the facts concerning Its condition had been brought to light to the satisfac tion of all persons interested. He said it was the determination of the state to keep the company a going concern, if possible, and its affairs wo'il J be liquidated only as a last re sort. It is more than likely that a rec ratal fixation of the company will ba permitted if matters are adjusted prop erly. | RACING RESULTS. AT JUAREZ.

P. Morgan on the stand, the house money trust investigating committee suddenly adjourned at 2:59 p. m. until tomorrow at 10:30. Morgan bad been testifying only nineteen minutes when Chairman Pujo suddenly announced the commit tee would adjourn. This announcement was due to the discovery of the fact that Mr. Morgan had not produced cer tain agreements with Interstate corpo rations for which his counting house acted as fiscal agent. Morgan was only questioned by Un terrneyer as to hit partners in the firm 'of J. P. Morgan A Co. “Does your New York house do a banking business?" asked Nntenneyer. "We try to. We do not clear through the clearing house. Outside checks are cleared over our counters." “Is there any banking business your firm doos not do?” “We do not issue bank notes.” Receive All Deposits. “Do you receive deposits of Interstate corporations?" "Yes, I suppose so. Some are inter state and some are not. We receive de posits from all classes of corporations.” Untenneyer then produced a state ment of the amount on deposit in the Morgan bank by interstate corpora tions. He asked Mr. Morgan to identi fy the total. “I prefer that some one else do that,” said Morgan, "some one who knows about It. 1 presume your statement is correct. Some one of my firm who knows about these matters will accept it."
