Dentists Meet Tuesday Night. This is the second installment of the story of J. Wylie Smith, the refugee president of the defunct Commercial Loan and Discount Company, who. after evading ex tradition during two years of service in the insurrecto army of General Orozco, in Mexico, re turned to Atlanta to stand trial because he dying with tuberculo sis—a phantom of his former self. By J. WYLIE SMITH. Dr. Hill and Dr. Foster, who made the actual tests, will meet with the other dentists Wednesday night and make up the final report to be sub mitted to the Chamber of Commerce, whence it will be sent to the Board of Education with recommendations. “Statistics have not been compiled, but from results already noted we believe the full data will warrant a recommendation that dental inspec tions in the public schools be made permanent.’' said Mr. Kriegshaber. Following published results of ben efits of five years’ medical inspection in the public schools, the Chamber of Commerce last September asked the Board of Education for permission to make experimental dental tests. The dentists agreed to inspect two schools f*T a year, without fees, to prove the Hficacy of the system. V the first tests pupils were pro- v ded v.ith written notices to parents • >f needed dental treatment. When t •.• : - notices resulted in securing i atment. the operating dentists signed the slips, which were returned t" the examiners. Additional signed shi> • ere collected Monday and Tuesday after the final tests. Records of * upils in attendance, deportment an.! scholarship, both those who «' ted "ii the suggestions and those " ho did not, will be compared, and tic n cults, with other figures, will m.ike m» the dentists' report. Finish Report Tuesday. ‘ Wr hope to get this report fin ished Tuesday night,” said Mr. Krieg shaber "We are sure it will war rant the recommendation that dental examinations he made permanent. Then if the Board of Education ap proves our recommendation, we want to submit it to the Finance Com mittee of the City Council Thursday morning, if possible, and secure the necessary appropriation and author ization for permanent dental inspec tions in all Atlanta public schools." In the Crew Street and Bell Street Schools nearly 500 pupils were ex amined. Dr. Foster and Dr. Hill were surprised at getting through in two days, since they expected three would b*» required. Another Reason Why Socialist Vote Grows (Continued from Yesterday.) 1 was given a room over the war- I had credit at the commissary. You have to furnish your own bed clothing and buy any food you get except etole, a sort of gruel, bif stik furnished to you raw —and frijole, beans cooked in pure water at every meal. Crease and salt are unknown. I remember a hideous tragedy one day as a result of the practice of allowing the prisoners to cook their own meals in tneir ceils. A peon, held for murder, was found dead in bed one morning, his charcoal pot still giving off its fume- over him. Soon I was allowed to go down town without a guard. The discip line in Mexican prisons is lax Once when the prison* rs were working on the waterworks a number of them stole away and got drunk. When they returned the only punishment that was administered was that they were not allowed to return to work but were forced to play. They suf fered, though. The\ hated to give up their wages. I knew a number of them who preferred prison life to freedom. “Neda on calles monos Apierlcanos y toias," spoke a Mexican who was reclining under the shade of a tree In his yard as I passed down the street on one of my dally strolls fr<»m the prison. His meaning was that nobody ever comes out on the street between 12 o’clock and 2:20 but Americans and hulls—a statement which has the weight of a proverb in Mexico. All business houses are closed between thosq hours. Indeed It was a hot sultry day and I was regretting that I had come out when suddenly I was startled out of my laziness by a sharp piercing bark. My footsteps had aroused a hull who was lying in the shade of a shrub, not a Mexican bull but a Bos ton bull terrier. He came towards me belligerent but I spoke to him kindly, so glad to see anything so truly American. And as I walked on tnnt dog followed. Truly only an American and a bull were on the .streets and later only an American and a bull were together at another place, the presence of the bull changing the trend of fate from savage death to the greatest triumph of my life. But that was later However, the interesting and important things which led up to It began to absorb my attention. For the first time a personal Interest was aroused In me in the*revolutionary movement 1 had made the acquaintance of about 75 revolutionary leaders who were confined In the penitentiary. Walking with General Rojas, the most prominent of them, one day our conversation grew intimate. "I would think that you revolu tionists would be shot,’’ I said to him “Do you know why I am here?” he asked. Before i could speak he answered his own question. “I said that General Orozco was a damned \ a seal. “All of us would be shot.” h«* con tinued, "but Orozco has plans of his own.” I asked her why she nad taken such an interest in my case. “You are an American: so am I,” she said. “You have a wife and child to be saved (for I had told her of mv family); I have no one in the world to care for." I found th.tt she was a somewhat notorious 1 woman in Chihuahua and 1 also learned from other sources than^ herself that she had paid each of those lawyers $400 In gold to defend m H< r name was Vivian Sinclair. They won the ease through unseen forces, at least to me. On the night of January 30 the people of Jaurez went to sleep under the seemingly peaceful rule of Made- ro. They awoke the next morning at daybreak—Mexicans always begin fighting at daybreak—to find a band of revolutionists in possession of everything. They looted the post- office and the customs house, burning all the papers In a bonfire in the streets. My extradition papers were among them. I have often thought that Porras knew what was going to happen and 1 was Just as grateful to him as though he had won the case in court. I heard just before I left Mexico, that he had been executed by Madoro Constitutionalists* near Porral, Chi huahua. I have written for verifica tion. Only 85 strong the new Insurrectos started toward Chihuahua to storm ihe Jail. They arrived on February 2 and at daybreak the next morning began storming the Jail. Such grit I have never seen, before or since. Those Mexicans are slow starting and they always stop at dark they have absorbed the superstition from the Yaqui Indian that the soul leaves the body after dark. It is hard to get them out of their houses at night. wash Veto” Rejected. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.

An ex tensive obituary notice appeared in the newspapers here recounting the virtues of Fido, the pet dog nf Henry A. Zobrist, a capitalist. Mr. Zobrist called a specialist from New York and paid $300 to have the dog treat ed. but Fido took a relapse and died. Mr. Zobrist had provided $20,000 In his will for Fido. and had offered an endowment of $3,000 a year to the Sand Hill Cemetery Corporation for permission to bury the dog In the graveyard. Fido lay in state in an expensive coffin banked with flowers. LIQUOR DEALERS ORGANIZE LAW ENFORCEMENT LEAGUE COLUMBUS, GA.. May 20.—For the rurpose of eliminating the blind tig.r and enforcing the provisions of the laws regulating the sale of whisky in ] o0 ’r Russ».'*ll County, Alabama, a law en forcement league has been organized in Girard, with Sam Kaufman, a w holesale liquor dealer, as president. The wholesale and retail liquor dealers claim that the blind tiger is hurting their legitimate business. Eighteen liquor dealers of the town are members of the organisation. RESINOL k SAFE SKIN TREATMENT °u r.f-ed never hesitate to use Res- ‘-p and Resinol Ointment re is nothing in them to injure It nderest surface. Resinol is a g r's prescription which proved so sful for eczema, ringworm and “He is planning a new revolution On March he will resign as com mander of the Federal forces in Chi- huahau. He is confining his staff here so he will have them ready when he needs them. “The moment he insurges 1 will be freed, and I will take you with me." My interest in the plans of the revolutionists immediately became intense. 1 was having an easy time but things were getting monotonous. 1 did not know* how long 1 would be held a prisoner nor how much chance 1 had of escaping extradition. My fighting blood was up. Added to my fear of being taken back to Atlanta and being tried was the ire aroused by the treachery of my pursuers, like Franke I was determined to outwit them. Then there is nothing in the world like Anglo-Saxon freedom. Then the strangest and most ro mantic event in my whole experience took place I was the only Amer ican In prison and 'something of a iriosity. People often came to me. and l desired to avoid them as much as possible. But the warden came to me one day and said that two American women were in his office to see me. Puzzled but greatly interested I hurried down. 1 ga::ed at them, un- ab’c to recognize either, but I care fully noted that they were hand somely dreesed. They said they were interested in my case because I was an American and they wanted to help me. When I told them 1 had no law- ver they said they would look after that. My clothes were washed in the ) prison, but not starched. One of the j! women arranged to have them staivhfd and laundered out in town. They they left without giving any information about themselves. A few days iater. January 26. 1912. m\ extradition papers arrived ami it locked like the jig was up. I was absolutely ignorant of Mexican law and 1 hardly expected any of my new friends* to come to my aid with sufficient funds to hire a competent attorney. ■ : ' !K • i: i - burning, unsightly skin Help at Last—From a Woman. < eruptions, that it has beer used by / | A mysteriously os sh had first ver the coun- > com ther physicians all { try for eighteen years.

Clinging to the top* yf houses and hiding behind fences they began most vicious and effective attack. They picked off every guard who showed himself on that wall. I wa where I could get a good view and every now and then I would see a Federal plug an Insurrecto who wa lying fiat on a house roof like stick ing a sharp stick in the back of a toad. One after another were wrig gllng to death after such shots. There were 700 men defending the Jail and defeat lor the Insurrectos was immi nent when a guard had his head split by a bullet that came through a loop hole. The soldier rolled down a flight of steps* and landed some twenty feet away at the feet of the Warden, his ghastly face turned upward. "Stop the fighting.” shrieked the Warden, and he turned to General Rojas for help. ‘They want me.” replied General Rojas. “Flee me and the firing will stop in five minutes.” The \\ arden would not consent, but the fighting continued so fierce he consented to allow Rojas to see the Governor with a guard of five men. The visit to the Governor was a mere formality. He refused the par don. But on the return to the jail Rojas, walking a few paces in front of his* guard, turned a corner ahead of them at the corner of Calle Liber stad and Calle Tercera and toqk to his heels. "Halt.” shouted the guard, and they raised their guns. But they were covered bv a band or Insurrectos before they could shoot My heart Jumped with joy when the news reached the prison. I felt that 1 soon would be able to Join him. But my blohd was chilled the next day by that most horrible of all features of warfare—the shooting of a traitor General Orozco came down from Jaurez next day. He wanted Rojas free, but to make a show of enforcing authority he ordered the five guard« shot as traitors, the finding of the courtmartial being that they had pur posely allowed Rojas to escape. No one knows what cruel!v a Mexican can resort lo. Rojas was as good as his word The firing Stopped before his guard re turned to the jail. Eagerly did I ob serve ami seek information as to the skirmishes and maneuvers around ( hlnuahua. The story of Rolas' firs! victory was typically Mexican. Captain Mendoza had led the at tack on the jail. He was the most unusual looking man 1 have ever seen and as we were closely associated to gether thereafter 1 became very much interested in his odd personality He was six feet four inches in height but he lost two Incites of his size m a stoop In his .shoulders. His hair and eye lashes were raven black and his eyes were a greenish gray that shined with an uncanniness But the oddest thing about him was his mustache, which was a brilliant red He was as active as a cat and the most wicked man 1 Imve ever seen. When Rojas escaped his plan was to attack the jail and free us all. But Mendoza had retreated out from the city. The reason Mexican revolu tions last so long is tliai an army never will follow up a victory Out from Chihuahua Mendoza, with about 25 men. was captured bv Col onel Sevrin, of Madero's forces.’When Rojas heard of it he declared that Mendoza had freed him and that ho was going to the rescue M ith only 260 men. while Sevrin hau ,00. Rojas began a ruse Ap proaching Sevrin after it was too wo dark for him to tell the number of the 1 ' revolutionists. Rojas went into camp in plain view. It is the custom to have a camp fire for every ten men Rojas built about 200 fires. He had line men bl °" bllK,p " over a long The strategy was successful. Under a Hag of truce Rojas sent an ulti- A'-ivlilti! malum to Sevrin at daybreak next morning that he must surrender Men doza or he annihilated. Sevrin «ar- rendered Mendoza.

Declaring; that, the form of the resolution presented by the Streets Committee, providing; for the White hall Street work, invited a veto, Al derman John S.

Alderman Nutting replied that Mayor Pro Tern Warren’s attitude was the most palpable sort of poli tics. The ordinance was referred to the Ordinance Committee. The Police Board’s tangle caused by a tie vote over the right of the chief to pro mote subordinates remains unsettled.
