2 BRUMBY DEFIANT A5 DE IS HELD . FDR FORGERY Marietto Youth Is Accused of Signing Name of Attorney Alex W. Smith for $592. “Let any man whose name I’ve forged to a cheek so on the witness stand. I’ll defy him to prove the signature is not his own." said Benjamin W. Brum by in Montgomery. Ala., today. The Marietta forger is waiting for tin- ar rival of Detective Hollingpv, or'!1, of the Atlanta force, who will bring him back Atlanta to stand trial. Ben Brutnby. scion of one of Mariet ta’s best known and oldest families, is rs expert with a pen and a blank check as he is with a cue, according to de tectives, and Brumby*ls known in many Cities as a crack pool player. He has served several teems for for geries and is wanted for others, but the specific offense lesponsible for his at test in Montgomery is the charge of writing the name Alex \V. Smith so skillfully on the bottom <4 a check for $592 that the bank teller passed over the money without a murmur. Mr. Smith say.- the work was so well done lie would have sworn to the signature himself. Trailed to Montgomery. Atlanta Pinkerton detectives trailed Brumby to Montgomery and landed him. The Marietta man was in At lanta all last week, with his wife, and was working under the name of Harry S. Anderson, lie is said to have forged the name of Theodore 11. Hammond to another check, but he failed to cash this because the paying teller remem bered his face and associated it with another forgery ease. Before the teller could < all an officer, Brumby had van ished through the door and lost no time in leaving town. The Pinkerton man who arrested Brumby in Birmingham last September on another forgery charge says the pool and pen expert boasted of his skill at imitating other men’s writing. "I’d pick up a specimen of the vic tim's writing somewhere,” Brumby told the detective, "and write the first letter a hundred times, or until I could it perfectly without effort. Then I’d begin on the next. Then I’d write two or three letters together, and finally the whole name. Sometimes I'd work hour after hour before I could dash off the signature so that it would be a perfect Imitation and yet bear no trace of la borious writing.” Say Blanks Were Stolen. The detectives say Brumby entered the law offices of Smith, Hammond ,<• Smith and got blank and cancelled I hecks from the desks of Alex W. Smith and Theodore Hammond. With the cancelled checks as models for sig natures and the blank checks bearing tlie name of the owner. Brumby had only to perfect himself in the imitation of the writing. "Duty office was entered on the night of December 6," said Mr. Siitith. “The checks were torn from the back of the books and wo did not miss them Sev ♦ ral. cancelled checks were missing, too, as we discovered afterward. "The forger copied my writing from these old checks, carefully imitating every letter an?! every figure. When I was shown the check for $592 which he had cashed I could not say it was not my own, even after careful scrutiny. Mr. Hammond examined the check to which his name was forged and was ready to pronounce it a genuine signa ture” Teller Recognizes Him. Brumby cashed the Smith check on December 10. detectives say. and was so confident that on last Monday he presented the Hammond check at one of the local national banks. But the teller recognized him as a forger who had figured in other cases and asked hint to wait a few moments. Brumby didn't wait a minute. He disappeared, went out to College Park and tele phoned his wife in Atlanta to meet him there. They took the train for Mont gomery. The detectives got on his tjail and found him playing pool in a Montgom ery billiard hall. Requisition papers wjre«made out today and Detective Hollingsworth left to bling back the prisoner. Brumby made no attempt to deny his identity, but insisted he had not been tn Atlanta recently and maintained inno cence of the forgery. The detectives say he has served two terms in Mis souri an done in New York, all on forgery charges. BABY CROSSING SEA ALONE IS DETAINED NEW YORK. Dee 19.

When Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the United States army, leaves Atlanta tomorrow afternoon At lanta will have either won or lost the first decisive move toward obtaining for this city a brigade post which will bring several million dollars annually. General Wood’s recommendation will have much to do with the action of congress in establishing a brigade post in the South. Atlanta will do all in Her power to show tlie army chief that this city is located ideally for such a post, and from the time he arrives this afternoon at 4:30 o’clock over the Seaboard until he leaves tomorrow every effort will be made to prove this to him General Wood and General E. M. Weaver and Colonel E. St. John Greble, two field chiefs who accompany him, will be entertained and have facts thrust upon them from every angle. They will be met at the station by a reception committee headed by John E. Murphy and taken to the Georgian Ter race. where they will stay during their sojourn in tlie city. Tonight there will be one of the most elaborate banquets ever given at the Capital City club. General Wood is to be the principal speaker of the evening, and the banquet is given in answer to his wish to talk to Atlantans about the army. What General Wood will have to say about the brigade post is not known, but. as he was educated at Tech, it is hoped that he will be favorably Inclined toward this city. Wilmer L. Moore will preside and Gov ernor Brown will speak. Tomorrow morning the students at Tech will hear a speech from the fa mous war leader who once was a leader on the football field of that school. General Wood will go to the school after taking breakfast with General Robert K. Evans and Colonel C. 11 Barth at General Evans’ residence on Peachtree street.

Rube Arnold to Speak. By Evelyn Wren ’ <mly three days ate left of this week |and the Christmas Editor says he must I finish his shopping for the Empty i Stocking list on Monday morning at I the latest. So you’d better hurry if you i want your gift to the Empty Stocking I Ku nd to do real good. Why not drop a dollar bill or a check ■ for live in an envelope, mail it to The Georgian right, now and enjoy your own | (’hri. t:nas dinner nine times as much if,.- t’.'.e < one iousiitss that you've made , .-omebody happy besides yourself and | your own children'.’ There’s a motto hanging, over your I desk, "Do It Now." Why not follow its ; advice? ! That benefit concert at the Grand Sunday afternoon promises to be the biggest thing of the season. Atlanta ‘ folk have grown accustomed to good music on Sunday afternoons, as the at- I tendance at the organ recitals and the first concert of the Philharmonic have proved. Every One in Atlanta Invited. But there won’t be an organ recital I this Sunday, because the Auditorium is I full of chicken coops, and the Empty ! Stocking benefit will have the field to itself. And The Georgian invites you— church folk, music lovers, travelers i spending Sunday in town, you fellows | | who might be loafing in your clubs, all ' jof you—to come to the Grand at 3 | I o'clock and hear a band of 75 pieces play popular music, and vocal artists ; who know how to sing. There won't be too much “high brow” stuff in this program, and Jt won't be the ragtime inappropriate to the day. i The program will be made up of fine, ' tuneful music everybody can enjoy— , | music with melody and soul in it. The | three best bands of Atlanta have been combined for this benefit by the Eed | oration of Musicians, with Matthiessen, | Wedetneyer and Barber taking turns at conducting. Colonel Reuben Arnold will be the only speaker of the day, and his address will be one of those brief and snappy talks he makes so well. No admission fee will be charged, and so Colonel Ar nold was asked by The Georgian to speak briefly of the object of the benefit and urge liberal contributions from the audience. Colonel Arnold Lauds Cause. "Certainly I’ll make a little talk," he I said. "I'll be mighty glad to do it. The Empty Stocking Fund is a bit of real charity, one worthy the support of every person in Atlanta.” Besides the band numbers, several other features will make the concert the most memorable Sunday affair ever given in Atlanta. Miss Margherita Carter, a prominent young soprano, has promised to sing at least one number for the poor children's benefit. • The Montgomery theater has given the services of The Great Dayton, the vocal wonder who sings bass, baritone, tenor and soprano. He broke an en gagement in another city to stay over I for the Grand concert. And the Sing ing Martins, the headliners at the Montgomery for next week, will give several bits of real grand opera at this concert. One or two other numbers will be announced later. This Is Your Opportunity. So here’s an opportunity to enjoy what might be a dull Sunday afternoon and at the same time help the worthiest cause Atlanta has known in a year. It is expected that the Grand will be filled to overflowing, and even a small coin from every person in the audience would do wonders in buying Christmas gifts for the little folks. The stockings won't be filled, with mere toys and candies, however, though toys and candies will be there in plenty. These children need the things your children consider matters of course stout shqes to wear to school or work and warm clothing for days like this. Why, there are children on the Christmas Editor’s list who have been shut in for weeks, wrapped in old quilts and blankets, because they had no clothing fit to wear outdoors! No Extravagant Spending. There won’t be an indiscriminate Christmas extravaganza of dishing out gifts to all comers. There will be no 1 opportunity for fakers to take advan tage of the public's generosity. The children on the list are in need, some of them in dire distress. The homes have been visited, the applicants checked over quietly. The Christmas Editor knows just where every package is going, and any contributor to the fund may see the list if he likes. The Empty Stocking Fund has i reached $1,200 today. That will go a long way toward making a merry Christmas for Atlanta's poor. But twice that sum could be used to ad vantage without a cent of waste, with out one ease of extravagant giving. 1 Won't you telephone the Christmas Editor to send round for your contri bution. or. better still, mail in your mite" No matter how small, it. will be acceptable. Address the Christmas Ed itor.

Honorable Seaborn Wright, the dis tinguished statesman and lecturer of Floyd county, has just returned from a z— !< y short trip through lowa, and talks most Interestingly of the trend of po litical thought as he found it in that section. Mr. Wright views with genu ine alarm and un easiness the seem ing inclination of certain party’ leaders inside the Democracy, espe cially with re spect to the or ganization of the cabinet, to stren uously preach “ha r m o. n y”— which, Mr. Wright thinks, means noth ing less than compromise along most inadvisable lines. "The word ‘harmony’ is the most deadly political expression in the lexi con of statesmanship," said Mr. Wright today, discussing the national situation. "It’s blight may be seen on every party that ever undertook to follow its false and misleading logic, and the pathway of progress is dotted all along with the wreckage of political organizations in voking 'harmony’ at precisely the wrong time. “The Democratic party must stand up straight for the next four years,'or— well, there is the Man of Oyster Bay watching it! Unless it follows up by its works the splendid faith it pledged in bringing about Wilson's election, it will go down to ruin four years from now, and all through its own fault. “The proposal to take both Mr. Bryan anil Mr. Underwood into the Wilson cabinet is absurd. Bryan and Under wood have little, if anything, in com mon. I am not ‘knocking’ either—l give both credit for honesty and sin cerity. They merely represent opposite types of Democracy, and, being essen tially honest, they no more could work In harness peacefully and effectively than oil and water can be mixed. “The Democratic party must be whol ly and unmistakably progressive, or its finish is right around the corner wait ing for it. The progressive element must dominate the party, or the party will fail—the president-elect must real ize that. “It may be a curious thing to say, but to my mind the greatest factor of all that will work for Democratic success within the next four years is neither Mr. Bryan nor Mr. Underwood, nor yet any man inside the party—the man whose tremendous personality will force the Democracy to give a good account of itself is Theodore Roose velt. “There he will stand —perhaps, as he more or less fantastically calls it, at Armaggedon—watching, and saying to the Democratic party: ‘Do what you promised to do. or four years hence I will do it!’ "And he will, too! He is far and away the most popular man of them all in the mighty West. His following out there is compact and aggressive—it be lieves in him thoroughly. We may have heat'd the last of Taft —we have by no means heard the last of Roosevelt. "But if the Democratic party will be progressive—if it will stand up straight —Wilson will be renominated four years from now, and triumphantly re named president, no matter what Roosevelt may say. But if the De mocracy falls a victim to the deadly blight of ‘harmony’—which means trimming and compromise—Roosevelt will return to the white house in 1916. And he will return to stay—well, I do not know how long. "The people of this country do not want ’harmony,’ and if they can dodge it in no other way than by keeping Roosevelt in the white house, they will put him back there —that’s all!” The unanimous indorsement of Con gressman Charles L. Bartlett, of the Sixth, for the vacancy on the house committee on ways and means occa sioned by the withdrawal from congress of William G. Brantley, of the Eleventh, means that Mr. Bartlett assuredly will be awarded this plum by the house. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Hardwick had their eyes on this coveted assignment, and the new member, Mr. Crisp, had been spoken of most favorably for the same, but Mr. Bartlett is the dean of the Georgia delegation, and when it be came apparent that he desired the place all other aspirants withdrew immedi ately in his favor. Congress adjourns today, and the Georgia delegation will hasten home to frame up, in large measure, the slates for appointment to Federal office under the new order of things to be instituted in Washington on March 4. After the Christmas holidays the rep resentatives and senators wil have no opportunity to consult, face to face, with the folks back home. The con gress is now in the home stretch. The short session must end on March 4, and there is a great deal to do. After the resumption of business in January, there will be precious few chances for | a congressman to get back home, with out neglecting his duties in Washing- I ton. Therefore, the would-be “pie” eaters | are getting ready their indorsements, assembling their why and wherefores, and preparing for a grand assault on the statesmen while in Georgia during the holidays. That is why a congressman of the Georgia persuasion smiles a sickly, peevish and more or less grim Sort of smile nowadays when a constituent wishes him a "Merry Christmas" and a "Happy New Year." He doesn’t see where he is to have much of an opportunity either to be merry or happy, as the shadows of coming events fall across his pathway through the holiday season. The Savannah News comment, briefly but pointedly upon two topics of growing importance and significance in Georgia when in its Thursday's issue it says: Is the sentiment against capital punishment becoming so wide spread in Georgia that juries i n murder cases are hard to get? The Columbus Ledger refers to the large number of veniremen excused from serving in a murder case in Co lumbus recently on this account and’suggests that if the sentiment should become much stronger it might lessen criminals’ fear of pun ishment and reduce the apparent enormity of murder. It may be stated here that the fact that Georgia uses the rope to punish men guilty of capital crimes has not served to protect her from an unenviable position In the list of states in which murders are fre quent. If the sentiment against the pocket gun could be made to grow until it dominated the state there would be little use for the rope. The protest against the "pistol toter" grows more and more widespread in Georgia every day, and undoubtedly there will be some highly restrictive legislation passed by the next legisla ture with regard to him. The sentiment against capita! pun ishment also is growing in Georgia, and eventually there will be more legisla tion along that line—possibly not for a legislature or two yet to come, how ever.
