MYSTERY OF MAN
Perkins Identified as Father)
Who Kidnaped Son in At
lanta Two Years Ago.
—.—_.
A woman hurried into Harry Poole’s
u! . . .taking establishment, asked to see
i body of John Perkins, gazed for a
~.'../nt into the wrinkled face and
the web of mystery which had
» -rounded the aged man.
tb was my first husband,” she said,
"I believe he came to kidnap
, • little son. He must have been
. y in his old age.”
I ie woman was Mrs. H. B. Wingard,
~t 36 Capitol avenue. The body was
mat of a 6n-year-old man who had
,o. ,i for two weeks at 23 Washington
>.reet, a short distance from Mrs. Win
gard's home.. He had passed under the
name of Moses, and none knew his oc
cupation. his past history or a reason
fui his remaining in Atlanta.
Dies Suddenly on Christmas.
in Christmas day he .was stricken
wit acute indigestion and died sud
drnly, muttering in his last moments
t.uit his real name was John Perkins
uu. his home was Nashville. Tenn.
The body lay without flowers or
i.mdiy callers until today, when Mrs.
\\ mgard called at the undertaker's and
revealed the reason for Perkins' com
;..g to Atlanta.
He iiad come to the city several
times in the past year and each time
had stopped Robert, his son and
cine, on the way to school,” he said.
”H asked the child if he didn't want
•o go live with his elder brother, Paul,
and made him promise not to tell me
about the meetin" I believe he intend
ed to kidnap Robert as he did Paul, two
years ago.”
Kidnaped Elder Son.
file Perkinses were divorced four
irs ago and Mrs. Perkins was award
ed the custody of her two children, Paul
and Robert, now aged sixteen and I
twelve. Mrs. Perkins married H. B.
Wingard and was happy in her new
home. But two years ago Perkins came
to Atlanta, kidnaped the elder boy and
took him to Savannah and then to
Hillsboro, Ga., where the boy is now
living with his aunt. The affair was a
newspaper sensation at the time.
Since then Perkins had come to At
lanta several times, according to Mrs.
Wingard, and each time met and talked
with the younger boy. Mrs. Wingard
believes the old man really loved his
children and could not bear separation
from them. Perkins had made no ef
fort to see his former wife and she did
not know of his presence in Atlanta on
this occasion. It was only when she
.saw in the papers that an old man
giving his name as Perkins had died
suddenly at a boarding house that she
thought of her former husband. Her
' sit to the undertaker’s followed.
Tin- body of Perkins probably will be
taken to Hillsboro for Interment.

MISS JIAR.JOBIE CORTLAND.
“Baby Mine” Star Would Be
Happy if She Could Get
Clothes to Fit Her.
There are a good many actresses who
have attained success through the good
fortune of a stature —either large or
small—which will fit Into parts most
suitable to them otherwise. Most of
them, therefore, are extremely grateful
that they were endowed either with
corpulence or were just low and slim,
whichever the case might be.
But there is no gratitude in the heart
of little Miss Marjorie Cortland, who
will be seen at the Lyric theater next
week in the leading feminine role in
“Baby Mine,” due to the fact that she
grew up small and dainty.
No sir-e-e. Miss Cortland says it
may be all right for Billie Burke to be
I small, or Trixie Friganza to be overly
i large, and for both of them to be
1 thankful for the stature bestowed upon
' them.
But as for iter, she prefers—-well, just
j read for yourself what she says about
1 it:
“I just hat. being little.” she ex
■ claimed. "I would like to be twice as
big as 1 am—yes. fatter than Walter
Jones, and as tall aS, let me see, we'll
say Eddie Foy. Then 1 could look
down on people just as they look down
on me now. It is simply awful to be
j small. You ran realize that .'.ourself
| when you know that I find satisfaction
in standing on a chair and absolute
consolation in sitting on the top of a
stepladder.
"Big women can buy pretty things to
• wear without going to all the trouble of
| having them made to order. You cant
I appreciate how much this means. J
j often walk down the street and see the
prettiest things in the shop windows,
i Then, on account of past experiences
I and hoping against hope. 1 enter and
| ask the salesman if he won’t kindly run
! through his stock, and see if some
where, tucked away, he can’t find some
thing that will tit met
“But they invariably shake their
heads, smile, good-naturedly, look down
on me, and tell me that I am too small;
that 1 will have to have them made to
order. That's the way with everything
made to order. Cloves, shoes and
dresses. And then, after I have had
them made to order, what. Is the re
sult? Just this: In my estimation,
modern clothes ate all designed for the
purpose of making large women look
small. As a result, when I have got my
nice new things 1 look like an animated
doll In up-’o-date toggery. If they
would only come back to the costumes
of ancient Greece- -flowing robes, san
dals and all that sort of thing—how
happy I would be."

SUFFRAGE BUTTONS
SUCCEED RED CROSS
STAMPS; BUY AT P.O.
Life is just one good cause after an
other. Go to the postoffice and see for
yourself.
, Yesterday it was the Red Cross stamp
booth that drew sympathy from the
husks -lunged and money from their pock
ets. But sic transit gloria tuberculosis.
Today the booth flies another flag, and
p posted on its pillars, from which the
I cheery face of Santa Claus beamed down
, for a week on the parcel-laden postoffice
throng, is a placard:
"Woman Suffrage papers and but
tons for sale here.
f “Help a good cause.
“Votes for women.”
i And the old cause had nothing on the '
• new one in the matter of alluring plead
ers. The giris and matrons who sold the
Red Cross stamps are succeeded by others
who will make as good in selling suf
frage literature. And, maybe if they
asked for votes themselves they migh !
‘ get ’em.

TICK EFFECTIVE
Ban on Twelve Georgia Coun
ties, Purged of Epidemic, To
Be Lifted Soon.
Nearly 5,000 square miles of Georgia
I territory, purged of the destructive
cattle tick, will be released in a few
months from quarantine, imposed lit
the course of eradication work.
The territory embraces twelve coun
ties in which improved methods of
eradication work have been conducted
by tiie co-operation of the county au
thorities and the Federal bureau of an
imal industry. Dr. E. W. Highbert, in
charge of the Georgia office of the Fed
eral bureau, thinks the work has been
productive of satisfactory results.
Tick eradication will be the central
feature of the annua! meeting of the.
Georgia Dairy and Live Stock associa
tion, to be held in Athens January 15
i ami Hl, notice of which came to Dr.
Highbert today. At the meeting an ef
fort will be made to extend the work
into other counties of the state in
which improved methods have not been
adopte’d.
Thirteen counties, besides the twelve
to be released, are working toward
eradication of the pest, which, it is es
timated. has resulted in the loss of
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
Georgia stock growers. The remainder,
says Dr. Highbert. ate fields for educa
tional evangelism.
