It is more like the swine of j the story book heroes, straight from the shoulder, with the unerring aim; of < hrlsty Mathewson’s In : t bali. and with a swat like the crack o' doom. A* Mr. •'V Walton and Mr. W H Byrd, and three of their friend* who < ante athwart that punch Tues day will testify. What happened is guesswork Just now. Eyewitnesses say It was. lib* this. ROUND 1—Smith'* right arm shot out, and, zowie! the man who met the punch took the count. ROUND 2—Smith'* right arm *hot out, and, zingo! the man who met the punch said, "Good night, nurse. • see the stars!” ROUND 3—Smith’s right arm shot out, and, ouch! the man who met it tumbled over in a troubled sleep. ROUND 4—Smith's right arm shot out, and "Eureka!” said the man who met it, as he snored on the floor. SUMMARY: Smith won all the way; time of battle, 2 minutes. Scouts on the firing line Wednes day morning sent In the following r ports: Walton says that J. C. Cox, Smith's second at the fray and companion under the battery charge, held him | while Smith hit him. Alio that Ar nold kicked him after Smith had knocked him down. Among other evi dence to prove this. Walton will su »- mit an expanse of court plaster on the side of his face, where either the fiat or the foot is supposed to have landed. More evidence that assault and bat tery was used In the scuffle will n» introduced by W. H. Byrd in the form of two black eye* and court plaster effects over one of the dis- | colored members. Byrd informed a scout that he appeared only by rea son of his friendship for Walton. "Smith was too big to match up against Walton." Byrd declared to the scout. H.vrd himself weighs neat ly 200 pounds. Mr. Smith is mild of manner and temper, yet he stands 6 feet 2 and is broad with it. He is accounted generally n man of peace, vet bis rather extensive biography records the fact that he has been captain and ad jutant in the Fifth Georgia Regiment, am: has seen duty in the Pittsburg and Atlanta riots. Handball Champion. A man of man.\ affairs he is. and busy with them all. and yet they will tell you at the Athletic Flub that he is the handball champion of the bunch. And his name is Smith— which might mean anything. No person of keen judgment is surprised at what a Smith does, naturally. The net result of it all ip that there is a new Burton Smith in Atlanta, even to those who knew him best. Hitherto he was Burton Smith, lead ing lawyer and clubman, brother of Senator Hoke Smith, but as promi nent as his brother by bis own achievements. When this tall, sol dierly form strolled through the chambers of the Athletic Flub he was pointed out. "That's Burton Smith, four year? our president." Or. at the University Club "There's Mr. smith, chairman of the executive committee and our vice president w "Man With White Hope Punch.” Or. at the court house, the scene of his latest achievement: "Burton Smith, president of the The Georgian-American Pony Contest VOTE COUPON Hearst's Sunday American and Allanta Georgian PONY CONTEST VOTE COUPON.

Now. with all that, he's Burton Smith, the man with the white hope's punch. Mr. Smith, just before entering "the ring” for the final bout, made this statement: ' Nothing will come of the affair.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. BERLIN, May 21.—King George and Queen Mary of England arrived here to-day to attend the marriage of Princess Victoria Louise, only (laughter of the Kaiser, to Prince Ernest of Cumberland on Saturday. They were the first members of roy alty to arrive here for the wedding. Emperor William, the Empress and a number of German princes and princesses were at the railway station to welcome the British King and Queen. Troops were provided as a bodyguard and the streets were po liced with scores of detectives, Gov ernment agents and policemen. A cordial greeting was given King George and Queen Mary by the Ger mans w r ho gathered along the route from the railway station to the party's destination. Many Americans in Berlin. Royalty from all over Europe is flocking to Berlin to be present at the wedding. There are a large number of Ameri can visitors lure, deeply interested in the i*oyal love affair. Photographs of the bride-to-be are on sale every where. The Germans are very enthu siastic about the Kaiser's daughter, and the wedding on Saturday prom pts to be a very important and beau tiful function. Americans largely predominate among the visitors from all quarters of the globe. Hotel proprietors will reap a golden harvest when the bridal bells ring; they are doubling and trebling the 5 r rates. Nevertheless, the Americans, who are determined to see everything worth seeing, are engaging the finest suites in the best hostelrie- — that is. the best of those that will not be occupied by the Emperor’* guests. True "Hohenzollern weather”— brilliant sunshine and cloudless skies —has set in for the wedding festivi ties. Bridegroom Arrives. The official receptions started this morning with the arrival here of the bridegroom and the state entry into Berlin of King George and £ueen Mary of England. There was no ceremony to greet Prince Ernest August when he reach ed the station at 8:25. He drove at j once in an automobile to the castle, where he took breakfast with his bride-to-be before returning to the station to meet the British royalties. At the station, awaiting the arrival of the royal train were Emperor William and Crown Prince Frederick | William, in the uniforms of the Bilt- 1 ish regiments, together with the Em- I press and the Crown Princess. All the j royal personages and princes as sembled in Berlin, and a mass of bril liantly uniformed naval officers and ministerial and court functionaries surrounded them. King George and Qufeen Mary, when they alighted from the train, were greeted with the customary cordial embraces by the Emperor and Em press and the other members of the imperial family. King and Kaiser View Troops. King George and Emperor William then jointly passed in review of the guard of honor drawn up on the plat form. This completed, the two mon- archs together, and the Queen and Empress side by side, drove in open state carriages through the Avenue of Victory and Enter den Linden to the castle, each carriage escorted by a squadron of cavalry with pennoned lances. The wide thoroughfares were lined with troops of the guards army corps, and behind them all Berlin seemed to have gathered. The dirigible balloons Zeppelin and Hansa, flying the British colors, ac companied the royal train from Rathenow, about 50 miles away, and hovered over the carriages as they drove toward the castle. It has been disputed whether this is a love match or a political alliance. Leaving that question aside, it can be said truly that the astute father of the princess has chosen for her the most desirable husband in Europe from that sordid point of view—wealth. Prince Ernest is the only surviving son and heir of the Duke of Cumber land, whose fortune is estimated at $200,000,000. Most of this he inherited from hi?* father, the late King George V of Hanover, who. seeing his throne in danger, discreetly deposited his for tune at the Bank of England; part comes from the late Duke of Bruns wick, who died in 1884; the Duke of Cumberland was his heir.

High & Co.'s store. I heard three ladies in conversation. One was a rather stout lady, about 25 years old; the other two ladies were older. I did not note the appearance of the two older ladies as closely as I did the younger one. for the reason that the younger lady did most of the talking. Tells of Seeing Girl. These ladies were talking about the Phagan case. The younger one said that she believed justice ought to be given to everybody She said she knew Mary Phagan well and that she saw her on Whitehall Street, near Trinity Avenue, about 4 o’clock on Me morial Day. after the parade had ended. One of the other ladies said if she knew that she ought to tell it to the authorities. I was deeply impressed with the sincerity of this young wom an. and have deeply regretted tha; in the interest of justice I did not ask her name. So strongly have T felt upon this subject that I have dared to write this, begging that the la dies referred to in some way com municate with the editor of this paper. I suggest the editor be cause I believe that the editor would fairly treat the informant, and would see that the. informa tion given will be fairly used. T have no possible interest in the Phagan case, except to see justice done. Will you not give this matter such publicity as will bring a reply from the ladies mentioned? Very truly yours. MRS. A. A.

Ga.. a small town near Marietta, called on Chief Lanford Tuesday to tell him he was acquaint ed with the mysterious girl in red, who was reported to have accompa nied Mary Phagan to the factory when she went there to draw her pay. It is rumored that the girl in Kennesaw has made a public state- i ment to the effect that she knows the I girl. Detectives are working on this feature of fhe case to-day.
