Wylie Smith as he is to-day, a mere phantom of his former self. 10,000 Workers Are Out at Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA, May 19.—Over 10,000 union workers, men and wom en, employed in various industries in this city, are on strike to-day for in creased wages, reduction in hours of labor and the recognition of the unions of longshoremen, stone ma- som\ sugar refiners, teamsters and textile workers. There are over 3,000 longshoremen on strike and the shipping industry virtually is tied up. Waters of Pacific Are Let Into Canal Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. PANAMA. May 19.—Water from the Pacific Ocean to-day filled a large section of the Panama Canal. It was let into the canal by the explosion of 32,750 pounds of dynamite that had been loaded into the dike south of Mtraflores locks. Thousands of Americans witnessed the destruction of the dike. of it, patrolling the walla at regular intervals. In the center ore eight buildings standing in a semicircle and*in front of these is a two-acre playground. The prisoners are paid if they will work at the rate of 25 cents a day Mex. If they don’t want to work they are encouraged to take exercise on the playground. There is a commissary" owned by the prisoners, the stock of which was worth S3.75 when I was there. The penitentiary is the manufacturing center of the town, furnishing the residents ttyeir bread, doing their blaeksmithing. carpenter work and everything else almost. That war- At the right top is shown Wylie Smith as he was when he left Atlanta two years ago. TALLULAH FIGHT IT Mrs. Longstreet Declares She Will Continue Her Efforts to Save Falls. Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet Monday sent The Georgian the following tele gram from Washington: The report printed that I had abandoned the fight to save Tai- lulah Kails is not true. The struggle to save Tallulah Kalis does not end with driving me from the Gainesville post- office. It does not end with the dummy lawsuit which is being pulled off In Rabun County, at a special term trial four months ahead of time and before the lawyers employed by me, under the direction of the men of Geor gia who make laws for Georgia, could have the case ready for trial. The struggle to rescue Tallu lah Is Just In its beginning, and if God lets me live that struggle will never end untii the vandals and pirates who are to-day crim inal trespassers on the red old hills of the land of my best af fection have pitched their tents in some other quarter of the the world. It is true that they have been successful in exiling me from the land of my fathers. But the -St. Helena to which I am banished will not be so far away that I can not be recalled. Re called I shall be. ff not sooner, then at last, at last, the red old hills of the land on whose bosom I was cradled shall open to re ceive me, and within sound of Tallulah’s endless anthems I shall find sleep. AMERICANS FLEE WON $100,000 IN DAY ON RACES, BUT DIES IN WANT NEW YORK. *Jay 19.—Ed Gaines, a former bookmaker and soldier of for tune, who operated on both sides of the Atlantic, is dead, practically pen niless. Gaines, so the story goes, once cleaned up 1100,000 laying against the big bettors on the lawn at Gravesend one day many years ago. Transportation Provided for All Who Wish to Leave—Anti- American Feeling Grows. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MEXICO CITY, May If.—A number of Americans to-day left Mexico City through the instrumentality of Dr. William H. Lllley, who had the fol lowing advertisement printed in the Herald Saturday: All Americans wishing free transportation home should send their names and addresses to Dr. William H. Lllley, Isabel La C&tollca 69. Dr. Lllley is the man who led the Tepic relief expedition last year when the lives of a number of foreigners were menaced there by rebels. Anti-American sentiment, owing to President Wilson’s refusal to recog nize Mexico, Is becoming more bitter every day. Rebels Closing In On Port of Tampico. MEXICO CITY. Mty 19.—A heavy -force of rebels is closing in on the port of Tampico. The insurgents al ready control all the land approaches to the port, thus cutting off the oil supply of the railroads. Railroad traf fic throughout ail the Northern part of Mexico is netrly at a standstill. The Government denied to-day that it had entered into a compact with Japan with reference to landing Jap anese troops on Mexican soil in the event of a break between the United States tnd Japan. Death Threats Made In Paterson Strike PATERSON, N. J., May 19.—Death threats are being made by striking silk mill operatives against the own ers of factories unless all work ceases. Savage rioting broke out at the siik mills following an* order to the police to arrest members of a mob which was making a hostile demonstration against the resumption of work there. Another riot, led by women, broke out in Main Street, where a woman was so badly Injured that she had :o be taken to the hospital. William Haywood, Miss Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Carlo Tresca and other members of the Industrial Workers of the World, who are leading the strike, warned the mill owners not to try to operate with strikebreakers, de claring that it would bring on fresh violence.

Carmichael, of this city, as a mem ber of the board of visitors to the University of Georgia was received here with interest.

Wylie Smith, the refugee president of the defunct Com mercial Loan and Discount Com pany, who, after evading extradi tion during two years of service in the insurrecto army of Gen eral Orozco, in Mexico, returned to Atlanta to stand trial because he is dying with tuberculosis—a phantom of his former self. By J. WYLIE SMITH. 1 have decided to tell my story ex clusively through The Georgian—and whdt a story it is! It is brimful of intrigue and treach ery, battle and blood, and the horror of slow, certain death. As I lie on my cot in the hospital quarter of the Tower it seems too hellish for a human being to have endured such experience on earth. I would that I could close my lips in silence and pass into forgetfulness. Then I think of the days when I was strong in heart and hand. None of the old knights enjoyed such ad ventures. About it all there was a tinge of romance. A woman, who was fair to look upon reached out a help ing hand and saved me once. A faith ful dog kept me from being cut into ribbons. I have known friendship that would have warmed the heart of the most fiendish devil. I have felt the inspiring triumph over unscrupu lous foes. But now I am penniless and dying. M.v wife, the little woman whom I love so dearly and who has stood by me so loyally, is working in San An tonio as a cook to support herself and my little six-year-old girl. I saw the child as I came through; the mother was too ill to come to the train. God, how I would love to go and SLEEP DISTURBING BLADDER WEAKNESS BACKACHE-RHEUMATISM, QUICKLY VANISH Even Most Chronic Sufferers Find Relief After A Few Doses Are Taken.

But I’ll never live to pay the penalty for my offense. Death before me is too certain. The terror of it all is their struggle to sur vive their awful poverty. But to my story. I’ll begin with the day 1 realized my business was doomed to collapse and 1 left Atlanta. 1 will tell all my experiences—experiences that were thrilling but ended irf a horror such as only Edgar Allen Poe could pic ture. I Left With Little Money. I left Atlanta at 2 o’clock on the afternoon of June 14. 1911, with an amount of money that was a mere bagatelle—?ome folk?* believed and still believe that I have had a large amount of cash hid away somewhere, and it has caused me trouble more than once—I was obliged to depend on friends to get from place to place. I spent the first night at LaGrange, stopped at Talladega, Ala.. Meridian, Jackson, Clarkesville and Lula, Miss. In Helena, Ark., I wrote to my brother, Berry Smith, and decided to wait for an answer. 1 had not stopped long enough for a newspaper to catch me and I did not know what the situation in Atlanta was. My brother’s letter enlightened me as to the anger of my former associates and I hit the trail again. At Tucumori, New Mexico, I wrote and waited for another letter from home. I learned they were after me and I wasted no time getting across the border. I Reach Mexico. On July 4 I arrived in Chihuahua, a city of some 35,000 people in the State of Chihuahua. This event and an other on the same day the following year have made July 4 a more im portant day to me than the anniver sary of American independence. It was the begir/iing of freedom then and the next year, not only for me, but through me for others. I had no money and at first I strolled the streets* bewildered and despondent. Then I ?*pied a hotel, the Robert&on House. I have always been able to talk, no matter how di lapidated or downcast I was. So I brushed into the hotel with as confi dent an air as I could assume. A dark, keen-eyed youth was lean ing over the desk. Well, before I went to bed that night I was calling him “Honolulu George.” He took me into his room and fed me at his table. Then I began to look for work. Promised a job In a lumber yard I found a boarding house—run by a Mexican ‘■•enora. While waiting for that job “Honolulu George” lost his. 1 persuaded the kindly old woman to let him live with me. Mexicans are the most hospitable people in the world as long as you treat them square. But they want what you owe them. When I failed to get a place with the lumber com pany and George’s funds gave out, our trouble began. George told the woman he had writ ten his father, a wealthy man in Honolulu, Hawaii, to send him money and that the “good ship” would soon arrive. We had met a man by the name of A. A. Franke and he found out about the money we were expecting. Oh. that little misstep has impressed me how important little things in life are. Unless you have a box at the post- office in Mexico, notice that there is mail for you is posted on a bulle tin If your name appears on that list you < all cn the postmaster and he gives you what is for you. It de veloped laU . that as soon a** Franke iearned of our plans he began watch ing mat imi, aud be regarded for his efforts, but not by money, at first. The letter he got was for me, tell ing of my affairs in Atlanta. Wise as to my past, Franke came to me and told me I was about to be arrested by a bunch of crooks for a $600 reward that was offered. He said it would take $1,000 to protect me and he even wrote to my people .here about it, posing that he was shielding me. It came to an issue In my room one night. I told him he was a crook, and grabbing an iron bar. rushed at him. He fled but did not drop his persecution. Soon afterwards I Was arrested by* the jefe, the chief of police, on orders of Ambassador Wilson. Franke had written him., Failing to get the $1,000 he was scheming to get the $600 re ward. 1 submitted and probably would have been Iwick in Atlanta within a few w 7 eeks had not Franke acted s'tich a crook. He came to me in jail and posed as my friend, hut he was so zealous before the American consul to get the reward that the consul’3 suspicions were aroused. The consul called on me and I tell you I was glad when I discovered he was a Georgian, Marion Letcher, from Conyers, lie gave me money and paid he wanted to help me in any way he could. A complication arose when my land lady demanded her board money. I owed her $75 “Mex.—$37.50 in Amer ican money—and they can imprison you for debt in Mexico. I was al ready in jail, but “Honolulu George”— God bless him- advised that if I re fused to pay and was held on a charge of debt they could not send me into -the States. But I wanted to pay that woman—despite the fact that i owe her yet. George had got a job at $5 a week. Anticipating his check from home he told the woman he would pay her within ten days. That promise caused George’s flight, for Franke got his money ae be had got my letter. Ponce, the old woman, put the jefe after him. A year later, when I returned to Chihuahua in triumph I looked for him everywhere but could not find him. Franke Calls Again. I was feeling very bitter over this when Franke called to see me at the prison and advised that I should not resist extradition. I boiled all over and tried to get hold of him. But he was too sly. He slipped out of; the jail like an eel, wriggling from my grasp. And that was the last I ever saw of him. I learned later that General Orozco had had his partner shot as a thief. General Orozco told me the last time I saw him that,if he ever laid hands on Franke he would have him shot. If Franke and I ever meet again one thing is sure—one of us will die. Somehow I made friends easily with the Mexicans. Therefore I was more angry with the men who proved treacherous. 1 did not go there to join a revolution hut to live peacefully, hoping to. soon bring my wife and child to me. When Franke and others wrecked my plans I was exasperated. The local paper came out with a front page story that I had offered the jefe $800 in gold to free me. I was facing an indefinite term amid what I thought to be the most terrible of all horrors—a Mexi can prison. That belief brought me the most pleasing surprise of my life. Mexico would do well to model after our court system but America’could learn much from Mexican prisons. The State prison of Chihuahau is a flfteen-acre tract about a mile from town surrounded by a 20-adobe, con crete wall. This wall is twelve feet thick at the bottom and six feet thick at the top. with a guard station at each of the four cornel-. A com pany ot militia is always in charge den is a keen grafter and he is get ting rich. Philip Baber, a rather prominent man, discovered that I was a Mason. He came over to see me and after that all went well. (Continued in The Georgian to-mor row.)
