ATLANTANS WIN
2 SWEEPSTAKES
Championship Awards Made by
Judges—Southern Breeders
Capture Majority.
With officers of the Southern Inter
national Poultry association elected for
another year, with plans for next year’s
show tentatively made and with the
crowds still large and the interest high,
the poultry exhibition at the Audito
rium-Armory is progressing smoothly
toward its finish—which comes Satur
day night.
The big interest today was in the
sweepstakes awards. They were:
Best Pen in the Show—Barred Rocks,
exhibited by W. S. Thompson, of the
Atlanta Poultry Yards.
Best Pullet in the Show—White Rock,
exhibited by Martin F. Schultes, of
Bartlett, Tenn.
Best Cockerel in the Show—White
Orpington, exhibited by William Cook
& Sons, Scotch Plains, N. J.
Best Hen in the Show—Black Or
pington, exhibited by Asa G. Candler,
Jr., of Atlanta.
Best Cock in the Show—White Leg
horn, exhibited by the Monmouth
Farms, Freneau, N. J.
The officials of the show have voted
that tomorrow all children, accompa
nied by adults, shall be admitted free.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year by the Southern International are:
Will V. Zimmer, president, succeed
ing Colonel Jehu G. Postell (Uncle
Dudley); J. M. Karwisch. first vice
president; Mrs. P. T. Calloway, of
Washington, second vice president;
Percy Cook, of New Jersey, third vice

MOORE TO REFUSE TO BE
CANAL CONFERENCE HEAD
The Panama canal conference, which
met in Atlanta recently, will soon be
obliged to name a new president, be
cause Wilmer L. Moore, who was
chosen as the conference's first head,
will be unable to serve. Mr. Moore has
not been officially notified of his selec
tion, but he declares that he couldn't
possibly fill the office on account of
othep pressing duties. Mr. Moore is
head of an insurance company and the
Chamber of Commerce and finds his
time well occupied.
The conference desired to honor At
lanta with the first president, and it is
probable that another Atlantan will
now be named. Walter G. Cooper, sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce,
declined the office of treasurer for rea
sons similar to those which actuated
Mr. Moore.

GIIIE UP BATTLE
Southern and Bees, Along With
Mystic Ark, Quit Fight—G.
A. C. to Appeal.
Superior Judge John T. Pendleton,
following his recent ruling against the
Knights of the Mystic Ark. today caus
ed two more locker club cases to be
dismissed and denied an injunction in
the third.
Recognizing the hopelessness of at
tempting to face the court on pleas sim
ilar to those made yesterday by the
Mystic Ark. attorneys for the Southern
club and tire Order of Bees requested a
dismissal shortly after the trial was
called. Morris Macks, representing the
Georgia Athletic club, making addition
al allegations, went to trial. Judge Pen
dleton denied him the injunction sought.
This action means that the Southern
and the Bees, as well as the Mystic-
Ark, which have been operating under a
temporary restraining .order, can be
closed by the city authorities for doing
business without a permit from council.
The jurist’s decision in the Georgia
Athletic club case will allow that club a
breathing spell if its lawyers give no
tice of an appeal.
Not a week ago, the supreme court in
a case not unlike the present one, ex
cept in minor detail, held that Judge
Pendleton did not err in refusing to
grant this same club an injunction.
Lawyers for the club are seeking for
a Federal question, it is said, so that the
cases can be taken to the United States
supreme court. It s hardly likely that
the Georgia supreme court will be ap
pealed to a second time.
HENNESSEE DENIES
CHARGES OF FRAUD;
SEES A “FRAME UP”
O. T. Hennessee, former president of
the Warren Manufacturing Company,
suspender makers, today declared that
charges of fraudulent use of his author
ity, brought against him by E. J. Sprat
ling and W. O. Steele, directors of the
company, were false.
Hennessee declared that he had acted
within authority of the by-laws of the
company in transactions wherein
charges were brought against him. He
further said that he, as the promoter
and principal stockholder in the firm,
had brought about the transactions in
question in his own and other stock
holders’ interest.
He charged Spratling with having
made a "frame-up” against him in or
der to further his own interest, and to
oust him from the presidency. Because
of this "frame-up," Hennessee said, he
had tried to obtain the extra shares of
stock.
BRING BACK BOOKKEEPER
TO FACE THEFT CHARGE
John D, Adams, former bookkeeper
for Dougherty, Little & Redwine Com
pany, in North Pryor street, is being
held by the police of Sibley, Texas,
awaiting the action of Fulton county
authorities.
Adams recently was indicted by the
Fulton grand jury on three counts for
larceny after trust. The bills allege
that he appropriated $343 of the com
pany's funds. Deputy Sheriff PDnnie
Miner will leave for Sibley tomorrow to
bring Adams here for trial. It is un
derstood Adams left Atlanta some days
before the indictments were returned.

MRS. R. A. RAKESTRAW IS
DEAD: ILL BUT FEW HOURS
Mrs. R. A. Rakestraw died suddenly

Rakestraw apparently was in perfect
health when she retired, but was unable
to speak when her illness was discov
ered by her husband. A physician was

Mrs. Rakestraw was Miss Zoe Bleck
ley, of Rabun county. She was 28 years
old. She was married on May 26. 1901,
and with tier husband came to Atlanta.
She was a grand-niece of tile late Chief
Justice Logan A. Bleckley, and other
wise was prominently connected.
Funeral arrangements have not yet

ily cemetery of the Rakestraws.
