Miss Amelia Stuttcart, a mythical i
person from the government offices in I
Washington, who eventually proved to |
be Mrs. Charles A. Sheldon, of Druid ;
Hills, playing the principal role in a
joke, cast consternation among a score ,
of young women typists in the office of |
Court Clerk Broyles yesterday, and '
caused them to do the hardest day's!
labor of their lives.
“The county commission,” announced ’
Mr. Broyles, as he greeted his force,
“has employed a woman from the rec
ord office in Washington to oversee this
copying work under the new salary
act. 1 understand that Miss Amelia
Stuttgart, of Washington, will be here :
this morning, and 1 will have to relin- '■
quish direct supervision over this part
of the clerk's office. I hope you will all
like Miss Stuttgart.”
Twenty young women began talking
at once, but were silenced by the an
nouncement that Miss Stuttgart had
arrived. Airs. Sheldon, masquerading
I as the office expert, came into the rec
ord room and. seating herself where
she could view the employees, sat there
the remainder of the morning. Type
writers clicked incessantly all day and
the dope store boy, who usually punc
tuates the day with his arrivals and
departures, was noticeably absent.
Shortly before 5 o'clock Mr Broyles
: came into the office and introduced the
alleged Miss Stuttgart as Mrs. Shel
i don, of Atlanta. He admitted that the
whole performance was a joke.
WILSON WILL WEAR
BUTTON SYMBOLIZING
HIS OFFICIAL POSITION
! PRINCETON. N. J., Jan. 2.—Among
the first innovations which President
elect Woodrow Wilson will inaugurate
1 when he enters the white house will be
to equip himself with a “presidential
> button,” to distinguish him from other
i plain American citizens. This button
will bear the coat of arms of the United
States, emblematic of the high office.
“I wore the coat-of-arms of Prlnce
' ton university when I was president of
that institution,” said Mr. Wilson today..
“Since I have been governor of New
Jersey, I have worn the New Jersey
J coat-of-arms. After Afarch 4. I think I
shall uas a. pin with the coat-of-arms of
the United States. I dislike ostenta
tious display, but I think such a pin as
I have worn is inconspicuous and ap
propriate.
“I like to feel that I always have with
me a symbol of my service.”
’ Governor Wilson today received a
cable greeting from President Gomez,
of Cuba, as follows:
"Fulfilling a duty of courtesy. I have
the honor of greeting you in my own
behalf and in behalf of the government
and people of Cuba with the sincerest
I wishes for your personal welfare and
, the prosperity of American people.

Congress Expected to Empow
er the Searchers to Enter
Mansion Forcibly.
NEW YORK. Jan. 2. Reinforce
ments of detectives and deputy sei -
geants-a t-arms of the national house
of representatives were expected front
Washington today to assist in the
chase of William Rockefeller, who is
wanted as a. witness by the Pu.io com
mittee investigating the money fist
It was reported that operatives of
the United States secret service might
be called into the case, as M Rocke
feller has shown himself •capable of
avoiding the representatives or con
gress and the Pinkerton and Burns de
tectives, who have been trying to serve
him with a subpena.
It is estimated that the limit of tile
kO-odd process servers, detectives ami
deputy sergeant®-at-nrms is costing
the government SI,OOO a day.
While congress was expected to act
today in the matter, opinions here dif
fered us to what the national legisla
ture could do to aid the subpena
scouts. Seigcant-at-Arnis Charles !•’.
Riddell, of the house, said he expected
a warrant from the house of repre
sentatives charging Mr Rock felle ■
with unlawfully evading service. De
tectives say. however, that legal en
tanglements would probably follow
such a course.
"I have heard indilei t'y that Mr.
Rockefeller Intended to giv. himself up
and accept a subpena some time to-
day*,** said .Mr. Riddell, “but if he does
not I am sure that congress will give
us authority to enter his residence. We
can not consider the fact that Mr.
Rockefellei is a sick man because we
have no official knowledge of it. He
must be treated just as though he were
a poor man It is such defiance as this
which makes anarchy.’'
A report was current that .dr. Rocke
feller had evaded the sleuths by a .use!
last night and had gotten into Iris tow n
house at 6K9 Eifth avenue. In conse
quence ot this, the guards were cau
tioned to redouble their vigilmice.
During the morning John D. Rocke
fellet drove up to his brother William’s
residence in an automobile, but did not
leave the ear. For a few minutes the
oil king sat within the automobile smil
ing at the army of detectives and news
paper men before the house. When
John D. saw that he was recognized he
drove away a blockade in traffic held
up Ids car, and it was surrounded, but
to all questions John D. replied:
'lt's a nice day, buys."

Viciously Attacks Detractors of
South Carolina's Governor,

“I WOULDN'T HESITATE

Editor Also Declares He Will
Have Cardinal Gibbons Sub

Thomas E, Watson, the sage of Mr-
Dutfl". who has been strangely subdued
sin< t bis benchmen refused to follow his
advice to vote for Theodore Roosevelt,
atone® today for his quiescence with s
' ieiou- attack unon the detractors of
Governor < 'ole Bleaae. including Thom
as B. Felder in particular, and upon
Cardinal Gibbons, as well as other
widely and eminently known person
ages.
The Thomson jiolitician announce,
his purpose to have the cardinal sub
penaed at his. Mr. Watson’s, trial for
sending banned matter through th»
United States mails. Here are Mr
Watson's remarks (ven slightly ex
purgated i, as published in his Jefferso
nian. issued today:
For some reason not r adily com
prehensible. the newspapers and
the politicians of the .state of Geor
gia have assumed a guardianship
over some other states, especially
South Carolina.
Can’t Teach These
Georgia Critics Anything.”
Last year we had the edifying
-per taxtie of a Georgian, a profes
sional lobbyist, confessing that he
was afraid to go into South Caro
lina to stand his trial tinder war
rants against him. and yet inducing
several presumably sane South Cai
olinans to come into Georgia, to go
through the farce of a one-sided
trial of the governor of their stale,
charged by the lobbyist with hav
ing received bribes.
Not a. particle of et idence to that
effect was produced: the whole per
formance was low comedy, and the
reaction in favor of Governor
Blease carried all before it.
But nothing can teach the»«
Georgia critics anything.
Governor Blease. having gone to
the convention of governors and
having declared that he would nev
er .ait out white troops to shoot
down their white neighbors for the
protection of a negro (guilty of an
outrage!, the character of which nn
words can describe, these Georgis
patriots rush into print to express
their horror and indignation at
Governor Biease's statement.
Wouldn’t Hesitate
To Help In Lynching.
The God's truth is that ninety out
of every - hundred white men who
have red blood in their veins in
dorse what Blease said.
I myself would no more hesitate
to help In a lynching (for the crime
specified > than I would hesitate to
shoot a mad dog. a wolf or a rat
tlesnake. .
Theodore Roosevelt and many
other writers have defended in their
books the vigilantes of the West,
who lynched horse thieves, cattle
lifters and robbers of express com
panies.
Even the Texas rangers have allot
down horse thieves and cattle
thieves without any form of trial,
except the rude form lynchers al
ways give.
Back of all statutes and all writ
ten constitutions Is that vast reser
voir of power which belongs to tne
j.rt’ople.
The constitutions and tlte stat
• i es represent that amount of po
litical power which has been drawn
from the reservoir.
Judges and juries put criminals
to death because the people have
conferred that right upon them.
‘‘We Georgians Live
In a Glass House.”
But the people, like every individ
ual. can, when the necessity arises,
do themselves that immediate jus
tice which might be defeated were
t 'ey to await the slow action of the
courts.
That h me of the grand princi
ples of jurisprudence, and Got
erii .r Blease, whether iltvare of it
"i not planted himself firmly on
th- ground which justifies lynch
law.
It pained me to ses that T Bosh
