Trampled Fatally.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
EPSOM. ENGLAND, June 4.—A
militant suffragette attempted to
break up the great Derby at Epsom
Downs to-day and nearly succeeded,
with a tragical retult.
Just as the horses were rounding
Tattenhelm corner a woman rushed
from the side lines and i**1*ad the
bridle of Anmer. a horse owned by
King George. Anmer crashed hea^Ux,
to the ground, hurling the Jockey over
his head The woman was thrown
beneath the hoofs of the plunging
animal and was trampled fatally.
The thousands who eaw the mlphap
were thrilled and shocked. It hap
pened with lightning suddenneee.
The woman spectator had crowded
to a point as near the horses aa she
could possibly get Several of the
runners had flashed by, when she
darted from the crowd. Anmer
foverve.d as she Jumped for the. reins,
but she managed to secure a Arm
grasp upon them.
As she fell a mighty shout went up
from the grandstand and paddock.
When the horse staggered to its feet
women near the scene fainted at the
sight of the two still forms.
The woman was Identified as Emily
Wilding Davidson. B. A., of London
University, who has a police record
in connection with suffrage violence
It was she who assaulted and se
riously injured an aged clergyman
last year when she mistook him for
David Lloyd George. C’hanctllor of
the British Exchequer.
The woman was taken to the hos
pital In a dying condition. It was
first reported that she was dead. When
doctors reached her side she was ap-
I>arently lifeless, but strong restora
tives were supplied and she rallied.
It was said, however, that she could
hardly survive the injuries.

Auto Victim Lives
With Broken Back
KOKOMO. |ND. f Jun« «.—The con
dition of Russell Gifford, whose baeK
was broken in an automobile acci
dent near this city, 18 days ago, is
puzzling the physician*. Immediate
ly after Gifford was taken to the
hospital, it was announced that he
had practicallly no chance to live
longer than a few hours.
The fifth, seventh and ninth ver
tebrae were crushed and dislocated.
It seemed certain the spinal cord
had been injured and that death
would come in a little while. Gifford
is paralyzed from his chest down and
has only the slightest use of his arms.
It is said that there is no similar
case on record where thq person in
jured lived more than 14 days. The
physicians are beginning to think that
Gifford’s spinal cord escaped serious
injury, and they say that if they
can keep him nourished a little while
longer, they have hopes he will live
and recover, in part at least, the use
of his body.

Family Reunion.

Wright, of DeKalb County, will hold
a reunion at Grant Park Friday, June
6, at 10 a. m., In honor of his oldest
son and daughter. Frank F. Wright

are guests of Captain and Mrs. James
M. Wright, in West End.
Mr. and Mrs. Ixmls B. Magid and
children are at their summer home,
Camp Tugaloo, Tallulah Lodge, Ga.,
for the summer. Mr. and Mrs. Magid
will leave September 1 for an extend
ed trip through California and the
West.
Miss Kate Baker has returned from
a visit to Jacksonville. She is with
Mrs. Fay Wilson, 37 Spruce Street.
Mr. S. Y. Tupper has returned from
a two weeks’ visit to Atlantic City
and New York.
Sheriff J. A. McCurdy, of DeKalb
County, stated Wednesday morning
that unless additional evidence is un
earthed soon, Walter Wilkes and Er
nest Maynard, negroes, held on sus
picion in the Stevens case, will be re
leased by the first of next week.
“I have about concluded.” said the
Sheriff, “that the negroes know noth
ing of the murder, and that they are
telling the truth. We have investi
gated carefully their stories of their
wnereabout* on the day and night of
the murder, and have found evidence
that induces the belief that they are
teldng the truth. Three witnesses
have been found who swear that
Wilkes stayed In Atlanta ail Tuesday
night, and the same number will swear
the same abodt Maynard. It begins
to look aa though they had proved a
complete alibi.”
The investigation* of Sheriff Mc
Curdy and Detective Roaser. however,
are by no mean* complete. Until the
negroes are released they will spend
their time trying to find a weak link
tr the alibis.
The theory of accident to account
for the death of the two women is
gaining- ground steadily. Sheriff Me-
'Curdy declared to-day that the af
fair looks more like an accident all
th< time.
Health Aid Found in
Trades by Experts
WASHINGTON. June But few
people are aware that there are oc
cupations that bring health, just as
there ar© others that bring disease
in their train. There is, for instance,
the coal tar occupation.
Tar, with its strong, clean odor,
acts as an antiseptic, and those who
work in tar are immune to epidemic
diseases. They are also robust. The
feeble and anemic, taking up this
trade in its various forms—the mak
ing of dyes, the preparation of dis
infectant—soon become strong.
Steel workers also profit in health
from their occupation. The molten
steel gives off certain gases that have
a beneficial effect on the lungs and
nasal passages. Though subjected to
extremes of heat, steel workers prac
tically never get consumption or ca
tarrh.
Bakers. If their bakeries are clean
and airy follow a trade that fattens the
veriest skeletons. Butchers are noted
for their ruddy, robust build, they,
like the bakers, seeming to absorb
through their pores the nutriment
they work in. Chocolate and cocoa
maker* in like manner are stout,
healthy folk.
