9 [ IS CAMERA MENSCRAPFORCHANCE TO PHOTOGRAPH ATLANTA BEAUTIES Speed Mania Robs Tetzlaff of His Wife Forbes Says More Honest Men Are Taking Hold—Paints Brady as “Fixer.” By B. C. FORBES. The old school financiers are pass ing. Men of better moral fibre, men imbued with higher ideals, men more democratic in their sympathies and possessed of more enlightened ideas comcerning the'r responsibilities to ward the public and the common wealth are taking their places. • • • Anthony N. Brady was essentially a financier of the nineteenth century type. He embodied most of the faults and a few of the virtues of his class, it was remarked of him yesterday by one of his intimates, President Wal lace, of the Central Trust Company, that he was the soul of loyalty to his friends, “even though they were dead," that he was a man of simplicity, not given to ostentation, and intensely democratic. • * • But Mr. Brady the public knew was different. He was a dictator, a “fixer" of politicians, a boss of Al bany and New York bosses, a stock market manipulator, an enemy of publicity, a handler of profitable “side-lines." * * • He was king of frachise-mongers. • • • If a gas company wanted a fran chise, Brady had to be seen. If a traction company wanted the right to lay lines, Brady was the man to han dle the job. If an electric light and power company needed valuable priv ileges from a community, Brady could get them. * * • Franchises obtained for nothing— except a “consideration” to poli ticians—could be turned into fortunes. The public first parted with the fran chises and then paid Brady and his cronies millions for them—by buying the stocks and bonds issued on the strength of them. Wall Street’s esti mate of Anthony N. Brady’s wealth is $5C,CCC CC0. * • * The exposure of the Wall and Cort land street traction deal afforded the public rn Ksght into the Brady art of transforming a franchise into a frrtur.:. Thomas Fortune Ryan and his brs~m friend (Brady) quarrelled over certain spoils, and the disgrace ful truth came to light. * * • Bradv, like others of his genera- t cn. liked to work in the dark. He did not believe in publicity. In this respect he was a fit companion for Ryan. His ways were those of H. O. Havemever, the sugar king. To this day William Rockefeller has supreme contempt for public opinion. H. H. Rogers also had scant use for pub licity. Nor had John D. Rockefeller for many years, although a decade ago he saw a great fight, and has acted differently since. J. P. Morgan latterly realized the power of public sentiment, and was sensitive to criti cism, as is his son. E. H. Harriman, too, woke up before he died—you may recall his sudden change of front toward the reporters. • * * The Ryan-Brady-Whitney clique outlived its day. New York would not submit to it to-day. Its machina tions were of the “public-be-damned" order. Its policy was to “see" po litical bosses. The successful finan cier of the new generation must square himself with the public. Truckling with men of the Murphy stripe no-longer pays in the end. It is too dangerous. Public opinion can not now be “accelerated" that way, to use Lemuel Quigg’s famous phrase. * * * Finance is being forced into the open. Bribery and corruption are be coming unprofitable.. Corporations now strive to placate the public rather than the politicians. * • * To rise from a bartender to a Wall street magnate was an achievement, no doubt, but the path was devious. * * * The wise members of the younger generation will not seek to follow it. The straight path, it is being dis covered, is the only one that brings the kind of success worth winnmq, the kind that can be left as a wel come legacy, the kind that leaves no sting. * * • It is not enough nowadays to be loyal to friends. The financier who would aspire to greatness must be loyal to the public. A fat purse, filled by questionable methods, will not car ry him very far. She s a pretty brown-haired blue-eyed, girl who is likely to get big vote. Miss Elinor Macy. AUGUSTA KILLINGS LOS ANGELES, July 26.—“It is necessary to get relief for my speed- racked nerves. My husband lives like he drives. I was born and bred in staid old Boston and I can’t stand the speed." This wro the statement of Mrs. Teddy Tetzlaff to-day, when she an nounced that she was preparing to file a suit for divorce against her husband, the famous automobile race driver and holder jjf the worli's speed record. The Tetzlaffs have been separated for about a year, and the wife says she was forced to leave her husband to save little Teddy, their 9-year-old boy, from the speed craze.

Trial free; Dept. 12-P, ReSinol, Baltimore, Md~ Widow of Victim Asserts That the Facts Were Suppressed to Protect the Military. That she was not allowed to tell her' story of the shooting before the military court-martial, and that sol diers shot at her brother-in-law after he had called to them not to Are again was the testimony given by Mrs. B. S. Dunbar before the Military Com mittee of the House Friday after noon when the investigation into the Augusta Rfltings of several months ago was taken up. The investigation is being held un der a resolution introduced by Repre sentative Beck, of Carroll County. The other witnesses were Mrs. Rob ert Christie, widow of one of the men killed; Sheriff John W. Clark, of Richmond County; Palmer Christie and I. M. Dohme, of Augusta. They were represented by Clem E. Dunbar, former member of the House. Mrs. Dunbar charged that one of the officers told her he had become ex cited during the shooting and or dered his men to shoot promiscuous ly. but that Major Claude Smith had refused to allow her to testify to this effect. When she asked Major Lev* why she had not been allowed to tell her story correctly before the court- martial. she said, he replied that the military must be protected. "For God’s sake, don’t shoot. Don’t you see I am trying to stop my ma chine?" are the words which she as serted Christie told her he said to the soldiers. “He was on his way to my home in his automobile to get his wife. He saw the soldiers, but thought nothing of it. They fired at him and he atempted to stop and called to them not to shoot again, but they fired another volley and wounded him in one of his lungs, which caused his death a short while afterward.” When the hearing is resumed Tues day it probably will continue each afternoon through the wek. Practi cally every military officer who was on duty fn Augusta, as well as many privates, will be summoned to ap pear before the committee. READY TO ATTACK SOFIA. BUCHAREST.
