Poteat Is Halted in Attack on Jews and Catholics in Socio logical Congress. Delegatus t * * thf* Southern Socio logical Congress to-day declared the ban la^t night placed on denomina tional attacks at the meeting in the Wesley Memorial Church meant a greater usefulness for the work of the dpngrross. Pr E. M. Potent, of Furman Uni versity, Greenville, S. C., had launched into bitter denunciation of Catholic? 1 and Jews when Dr. A. ,T. McKelway, acting president, interrupted him. The audience cheered. Dr. Poteat ended his speech on "National Steward ship" with a few more sentences. T>v. Poteat was the last speaker, and when he arose he asked If the audience would rather listen to his t speech or go home to sleep. The ^ crowd urged him to proceed. Soon he was discussing the Jews. Scores the Hebrews. “They have failed in their steward ship,” he said. "The Protestants have been making the real progress." • Then he turned to the Catholics, saying: “We must rise up and say that no church with its head abroad shall gain dominion in this country. It must not be allowed. “I don’t see why a red cap on a man’s head adds any sense to his brains ” Dr. McKelway interrupted. “Pardon me, but there can be no discussion along denominational lines," he said. Audience Che«rs McKelway. Dr. Poteat thanked him. The au dience burse into applause. £ Dr. McKelway said all flenomina- > tions were welcomed in the work of the congress for human welfare, anc he interrupted because he feared of fense -might be taken at Dr. Poteat’s remarks. Several Catholic priests—Father Rapier, of Atlanta; Father Peter A. Crumbly, of Memphis, and Father DuBois, of Marist College — have taken prominent parts in this session of the congress.

NEW YORK, April 29.- Supreme Court Justice Gerard has handed down a decision declaring that Mrs Scverina Hamarolli, famous as tic "Kissloss Bride," is not klssless. In I hi degree lie brands as base ' s her husband’s charge that his beautiful bride turned her head nwa> whence ; lie offered to caress or kiss her. Against thv protest of Pr.

Here is the judicial finding concern ing Pr. Samarelli’s allegation that his wife was “marble-hearted:” Ever since the marriage Mrs. Samarelli has rreated her hus band in an affectionate and kind manner. She has kissed, hugged irid embraced him continually. She liked to be kissed, hugged and embraced by her husband, and has at all times been affec tionate and kind to him. Tne Court reviewed the evidence which showed that Dr. Samarelli and bis bride, who was known as “The Rose of Palermo," went to Niagara Falls and Canada on their honey moon. On their return he installed. his sister and brother-in-law in the’ bridal chamber of his house, and a few days later told bis wife he was through with her. Called Her Cold. He said he had done these things because his bride was cold and in different. He said she siiut herself in her mother’s apartment and re fused to greet him with affection. The Court holds he was at fault in abandoning his wife and refusing hei attempts to be reconciled. Dr. Samarelli started an annul ment action, but discontinued it be fore trial. It is said that he may take an appeal from Justice Ger ard’s decision. “Parcel Post” Subject for Dis cussion at First Day's Ses sion of Delegates.

HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN AND THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN THE PLAYS THIS WEEK Monument, Paid for by Ap pointees, Will Be Unveiled at Gainesville, June 3. By JAME B. NEVIN. V handsome marble monument to the memory of the late Governor AI len P. Uanfller. the "one-eyed plow boy of Pigeon Boost," twice Ghief Magistrate of Georgia. and. flu * times a Representative in Congress, is to be unveiled in Gainesville on June 3, Jefferson Davis's birthday. The stone will mark the late Gov ernor’s last resting place, and will be paid for by about one hundred of his appointees to office when occu pying the executive choir of the State. The idea was conceived by Pension Commissioner Lindsey, and his appeal to the former office holders under "Uncle Allen" was responded to read ily and gladly. The sum of $300 was quickly raised, and with this a modest and fitting memorial will be secured —just such as the late Governor him self .would approve of, no doubt. It will be .presented to Mrs. Candler on the birthday of the great Confederate chieftain, Davis, with simple and en tirely unostentatious ceremony. Governor Candler was one of tho best beloved of the long and distin guished line of Georgia Chief Magis trates. He was a Democrat of the. old school, and first came into prom inence by defeating Judge Emory Speer, then an Independent Represen tative in the national Congress, it was during that fierce campaign that he came by the nickname that stuck to him ever thereafter—“the one-eyed plow boy of Pigeon Roost!” This appellation was hurled at him In derision, but it acted as a boom erang upon those who launched It. It very greatly endeared him to the masses of the plain people, with whom lie ever was particularly strong in his public life. After serving three terms in Wash ington. Governor Candler was elected Secretary of State for Georgia and served in that office many years, until called to the Governorship. He was a plain, old-fashioned, outspoken sort of person, rugged in his honesty and uncompromising in his high ideals. His portrait now adorns the wall of the Governor’s reception room in the state c-apitol. This likeness, which is: a fine one, shows in every line what manner of man he was. Allen D. Candler was one of the mo.‘'t picturesque men who ever oc* cupied the Governor’s chair in Geor gia, and one of the most genuinely popular. He was the last of Geor gia’s ex-Confederate Executives. It is not generally known in At lanta. although it is a fact, that Dr. William M. Baird once was Speaker <<f the House of Representatives in Lie New Jersey Legislature and served one term in the early 70s with credit and distinction. He was affiliated with the Democratic side. The doctor soon threw up politics, however, and took to medicine, which he found more interesting and suited to iiis tastes. He has lived in At lanta about 12‘years. Representative-elect Charles A Pie- quet, of Richmond County, has rented a home in Decatur for the summer session of the Legislature, and will motor to and from hi.« Legislative duties in Atlatna every day. He will bring his familv through the country from Augusta to Atlanta in a big seven-passenger car and < x- pects to entertain considerably while sojourning in and near the capital. Says The Montgomery Monitor: “When a horse falls sick every pass ing man will suggest a s*ure-cure remedy to the owner. Before Gov. John M. Slaton assumes the Gov ernmental reins of Georgia he will have advice enough offered to last through the two terms that will prob ably be given him." The Governor-elect is most cour teous, kindly and considerate—those are reasons why he is so well liked by everybody—but, while he will lis ten patiently to much advice, he mai' be depended upon to accept such as pleases him and reject such as does not. He has a head of his own, all right! The Southern Railway has done the only fair and square thing that is to be done in the matter of comply ing with recently-enacted Georgia laws with reference to the abolition of the old-time general drinking cup used aboard trains, by deriding to furnish hereafter all passenger** with individual sanitary drinking cups, to be thrown away after use. The cups will be collapsible, made of oiled paper, and to be had merely for the asking. All conductors will be supplied at once with a full sup ply of these cups for use on the trains. It is expected that the other roade operating in Georgia will follow the Southern’s lead in this matter. The law, which was perfected by the last Legislature, is very strict in its clauses prohibiting the use of a gen eral drinking cup aboard trains. A compulsorv education law will be offered in the Georgia Legislature when it assembles in June. This matter has been proposed in the General Assembly more than once, but nothing so far has come of it. This time, however, the proposition is to be more aggressively urged than it has been heretofore, and there 1s thought to be a fair chance of the passage of some sort of law bearing on the subject. Heretofore, the attempted passage of child labor laws has more or less Interfered with the passage of com pulsory education laws. It is realized that the latter will become an im-1 mediate and absolute necessity, once satisfactory child labor laws are en acted, but it will be possible to pass more satisfactory and more Intelli gent compulsory education laws, per haps, after the child labor laws are framed and approved. As both measures will be agitated in the next Legislature, it looks as If the two propositions may be com bined somewhere along the line, thus increasing the chances of success to both.

Berkeley Haswe.il, fair-haired and boyish* scored heavily as the young desperado, turned from a careless lad Into a terror ( f the border country by the villainy of his father. In addition to showing ex trend* dexterity In getting the drop on his enemies, tin* young star has a voice of iu> mean quality and knows how to use it. The play, in addition to having plenty of powder smoko has some r* I pathos and comedy. Haswell, in the hair-trigger leading role, ha« good sup port in Robert Brooks, as his supposed foster-father and later the manager of the Broken Heart saloon. .lames Dow dell makes a tine blustering bad man and Edna Holloway’s make-up as a dance hall girl gives a strong touch of realism. There arc several stirring climaxes, notably the fight tn the dark In the Broken Heart saloon. “Hilly the Kid” possesses what the “movie” wild West drama can ot convey, the smell of powder smoke and rough voices, and more than pleased the large opening audience. “Butterfly on the Wheel" Pleases. A splendid audience witnessed the premier of “A Butterfly on the Wheel." played by Miss Billy Long anu her stock company at the Atlanta last night, and were pleased with its presentation. The play is the old. old story of the butterfly wife, the professional man who is too busy with the affairs of the world to be an ideal husband for such a wife and the serpent in the guise of a friend who loves too well, unwisely, and is not overnice in placing ms affections or caring for the consequences. The story is absorbingly interesting and even if it is what is commonly termed a drawing room drama it affords tense scenes and thrilling incidents, and these make up much for the lack of action. Miss Long proved splendidly versa tile in her delineation of the thoughtless wife, who lived her life only in the present with never a thought of the consequences. Following the totally different part of the widow in "Wild fire" or last week, her imterpretntion of the wife this week is also thoroughly enjoyable. Allan Robinson, as Lord Ellerdirie, a diplomat with no diplomacy, had some splendid lines and delivered them with all their effect and force— and, as the part is the only comedy character in the story, he soon became a favorite. Others in the cast did well, and are due much credit for their splendid work. Especially may this be emphasized when it is known that the parts were only finally cast last Thursday, due to a delay in securing the manuscript. Much of the crudeness in one or two spots in the work of last night may be for given when this is known, and one or two more performances will see this pass away. There will be no performance Wed nesday and Thursday nights, because of a previous house engagement, but the usual night performances the rest of the week and matinees Wednesday and Saturday will be given. jSECOND OPERATION ON .DUCHESS OF CONNAUGHT l Special C.th!e to The Atlanta Georgian. 1 CONDON.
