Tennessee Company to Set Aside
$16,500 Annually to Pay the
Claims of Farmers.
ENDS EIGHT-YEAR LITIGATION
Arbiters To Be Named by State of
Georgia and the Ducktown
Corporation.
An arbitration agreement by which
farmers on the Georgia-Tennessee
line near Ducktown, Term., whose
crops are damaged by fumes from the
smelting plant of the Tennessee Cop
per Company will be reimbursed, has
Anally brought to a close the eight-
year controversy which grew out of
the deadly effect of the factory fumes
on surrounding vegetatipn, according
to a statement issued by attorneys in
the case Saturday.
By terms of the agreement, the cop
per company will deposit annually
J16 500. out of which will be paid
damage to the sufferers at the discre
tion of an arbitration board of two
representatives of the State and one
representative of the corporation,
which will be appointed.
For years tin* residents of Duck
town and the neighboring country in
Georgia suffered greatly because of
the fumes. At first the situation was
unbearable, until the concern operat
ing the smelter installed gas-consum
ing plants, transforming the objec
tionable vapor Into sulphuric acid. As
a result, where the deleterious fumes
once escaped to the harm of vege
tation now tons of acid are produced
daily.
In spite of the improvements, how
ever. much of the gas at times es
capes. Litigation growing out of the
situation was bitterly fought In State
and Federal courts.

POETESS m
MADISON. WIS., July 26.—Senator
LaFollette, in the current issue of
his weekly paper, praises the men who
caused an investigation of the New
Haven Railroad and disclosures that
led to the resignat of Charles S.
Mellen as Its president. In an edi
torial, under the captain of “Rot
ten.” Mr. LaFollette says:
“The passing of Mellen is of no
consequence. He was morally the
agent of Morgan In the execution of
plans operated on all of the big sys
tems. The history of the New Haven
merger Is the history of every merger.
The whole system is rotten.”
Investigations by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in other rail
roads would came more resignations,
said Mr. LaFollette.

Their claim based on the declara
tion that the recent abandonment of
the murder charge against Mrs. Fred
Flanders Is palpable evidence that
powerful Emanuel County forces had
sought to railroad I)r. W. J. Me-
Naughton, of Swalnsboro, to the gfi.i-
lows, Emanuel County friends of the
convicted physician have renewed
their efforts to have him pardoned
or at least granted a •* ew trial.
The application will * oon be pre

play a part In this, the m< st bitterly
fought criminal case In Georgia’s his
tory.
Friends Claim Plot.
Nolle pros of Mrs. Flanders’ rase,
McNaughton’s friends say, is proof
conclusive ot their contention that
the relatives of her dead husband
have always known that her trial
would establish the physician's inno
cence, and that for three years they
have had the case postponed in >.he
hope that McNaughton would bo
hanged before the truth could be es
tablished.
Fred Flanders, prominent in Eman
uel County’s business, social and po
litical life, died at his home in Co
vena.
A few days later Dr. McNaughton,
his attending physician, and Mrs.
Flanders were arrested and charged
with having poisoned him. ublic
sentiment ran high against the doctor.

Wife of Aged Millionaire and Fa
mous Society Hoyden Give New
England Coast Thrill.
Young Mrs Edward D. Alsop -Mrs.
Effle Pope Hill Alsop she is, you
know, of Atlanta and Washington,
Oft., and New York City—Is up to
pranks, naive, tomboy pranks, that
startle all the folks along the New
England Coast around Peabody, Mass.
Gossip of society tells how this South
ern girl wife of the rich and aged New
York millionaire each day opens the
eyes of the natives with a feat as gay
and Ingenuous as any schoolgirl dared
conceive.
Nothing that is lnd1s< ivet, under
stand. She Is merely a girl, full of
life and the Joy of living, the gossip
relates And then, too, she has for a
“pal” the gayest and most dashing
young woman known to society, Mrs.
“Tom” Pierce.
Keep Coast Alive.
Mrs Pierre is just chock full of
energy, and now has found a chum
ho llke.s the same things she likes
to play, to romp, to fly about the
beach In a long, rakish runabout,
bareheaded, blouse-clad. h a p p y,
laughing and shrieking. Adele Ritch
ie was formerly her chum, but now
the winsome Adele has taken herself
a husband and has no time to romp
“Down to Peabody” the folks all
swear by Mrs. Pierce. She has the
biggest heart and the most sympa
thetic soul of any person alive, they
say. Wherever she may be, Peabody
says, sho Is the lady. And so they
laugh indulgently at the hoyden that
she is and at the hoyden that her
new-found chum from Georgia, Mrs.
“
The “girls" are everywhere up and
down the coast, sailing, motoring,
driving. The Alsop* are Mrs. Pierce's
guests, and the gay hostess is about
as happv as anybody can be nowa
days that she has found a kindred
spirit in the girl wife of the rich old
Mr. Alsop.
With all their play together, the
rich old Mr. Alsop Is left alone in the
Pierce home a good deal of the time
They say that many people, passing
the place, see the lonely figure of the
aged millionaire out on the from
porch, and ask each other, wonder-
ingly:
“I wonder what the ‘girls’ are up to
now ?”
Talk of Pajama Parties.
They wonder. They know’ that
Mrs. Pierce has for her close friend
Mrs. Raymond Belmont, the chorus
girl daughter-in-law of August Bel
mont And they know’ that down at
the place of Mrs. Raymond, on the
Jersey Coast, there was talk of pa
jama parties and swimming sessions
in which one-piece bathing suits were
the vogue. 0
They laugh at those pranks in which
their good friend, Mrs. Pierce, in
dulged. and wonder if there is a repe
tition now at Peabody, with Mrs.
Pierce and that gay girl chum of
hers, Mrs Effie Pope Hill Alsop, in
the search for excitement and for

CONFEDERATE HEROINE
DIES IN NEW YORK STATE
NASHVILLE, July 26.- Mrs. Mary
Bradford Johns, of this dtv. whose
death is reported at the residence of
her son, Edward B. Johns, in Rock
ville Center. N. Y . is famed as a
Confederate heroine. In the first days
of the battle of Nashville she rushed
in where the fire was the thickest
from the enemy and sought to rally
I the stampeded Confederates.
Mrs. Johns before leaving Nashville
to visit her son had a presentiment
; she would never return alive.
that he h^d given his patient arsenic
In order to possess his wife.
McNaughton’s trial was sensational.
He was convicted and sentenced to
hang. Then began his remarkable
legal fight. The Supreme Court has
ruled on his case from every con
ceivable angle. And always it hue
ruled that McNaughton must hang.
Brown Stays Sentence.
As a last resort the McNaughton
faction appealed to Governor Brown.
At that time the story' was circu
lated that powerful political forces
were working to have the doctor
hanged before Mrs. Flanders could
be tried.
This was told Governor Brown so
convincingly that he gave McNaufil.-
ton reprieve after reprieve as court
term after Court term passed without
the trial of the accused woman.
As soon as Governor Brown left
office, the case against her was dis
missed. and the physician’s friends
grasped this point to urge his par
don.

IT FREE LOVE
Mrs. Horatio Winslow, Constantly
Inspired, Declares No Limit
Should Be Put on Separation.
. NEW YORK, July 20.—“If \vp can't
an yet have free love, let us at least
have free divorce.”
This startling doctrine was pro
pounded to-day by Mrs Horatio Win
slow, formerly Mis- Rosalind Gug-
genheimer, of St. Louis. Mis. Win
slow, who 1h known In literary cir
cles ns “Jane Burr," has made poetry-
writing a regular business. She de
clares she does not have to wait for
Inspiration when she wishes to dash
off a few verses.
"I have always Inspiration,” she
said to-day while sitting at her desk,
surrounded by stacks of ready-made
or made-to-order poems. "But to re
turn to the subject of free divorce—•
“You see, I think we all have a
right to be happy, we all have a right
to choose the right companion. Why
should we have to continue to live
with a man, or a man with a woman,
when they know they are unsuited?
Pensions for Children.
“The children? Oh, when we have
become sufficiently civilized to alter
our marriage laws, the State will pen
sion the children, as it should he.
Now’, eugenic marriages, of w'hich we
have heard much lately, are a!J very
well, but somewhat impracticable.
Why should a man or a woman have
to lead a lonesome existence, lead a
weary and unhappy life. Just because
they are physically deficient, or be
cause they have some sort of an ill
ness?
"No, let them be allowed to marry
—at least, let them get a certificate of
permission to live in the same house
or apartment, as demanded by society
—but make it a criminal offense to
have children In this sort of marriage.
"Now, as to why I left society, there
are many reason? for that. In the
first place, because you can’t he at
the game. To see all those poor wom
en struggle and fight for supremacy is
really pitiful.
"You think you have reached the
top and you find there is somebody
there before you. They are all so
sadly uncertain of themselves, they
are afraid to do this, afraid to know
that person. In short, the continual
struggle Is simply appalling.
No Mentality in Society.
“Then, moreover, no man of Intel
lect can find any mental stimulus or
mental food In the ultra circles of
society. You can't be an individual;
you have to go with the biggest and
try to get In the front row' by hook or
crook, just the same as the chorus
girls are trying to get nearest to the
footlight now'. No. that life has no
attraction for me. I want to be inde
pendent in my actions -and in my
clothes.
"There Is one great task I have set
myself, and will carry out some day,
viz: to adopt tw’elve children, and
bring them up from the cradle. They
must not be over 1 year old, and I
want them from the very low’est ranks
of society. Then I will be able to
prove that 99 per cent is environment.
Take a child away from a criminal
parent, give It a decent education,
and you'll make a decent citizen out
of it 99 times out of a hundred. Leave
It with its criminal parents and 99
times out of 10^ it will turn out a
criminal.”
Mr. and Mrs. Winslow live in a flat
In East Seventy-seventh street. "It is
largely a matter of economy,” ex
plained Mrs. Winslow. "My father
wants to allow me $500 a month, but
1 prefer to be absolutely independent
of everybody and earn my own liv
ing.”

Roan Would Give Mother Prefer
ence in Awarding the Cus
tody of Children.
The attempt of Judge Henry C.
Hammond to have the law regarding
the awarding the custody of children
in divorce cases changed so that the
mother would have the prefercpce is
regarded favorably by Judge S. L.
Roan, of the Fulton County Superior
Court.
"Judge Hammond is quite an able
man, and I agree with him in his ef
fort,” said Judge Roan. “Under the
law the father has the preference,
where all things are equal, and I think
that in the case of children of ten
der years the mother should have the
preference if the evidence shows she
is not an Improper person.”
Judge Hammond has addressed a
letter to Representative Sam Olive, of
Richmond, asking him to introduce a
bill changing the law so that this may
be possible.
This action followed the awarding
of two minor children to the father
in the divorce suit of Julian J. Zach-
ry vs. Mrs. Mary W. Zachry, at Au
gusta, and which has been featured
by Mrs. Zachry leaving Augusta with
the children.
Judge Hammond made the state
ment that, while he awarded the chil
dren to the father’s custody under
the requirements of the law, he really
thought the mother was the proper
person to have them. His hands were
tied, however, he declared.

According to telegraphic dispatches,
the brilliant society play by May Fu-
trelle, of Atlanta, was successfully
presented by Walter Vincent’s stock
company at Utica, N. Y., last Mon
day.
"Lieutenant What's His Name” had
Its origin in “The Simple Case of
Susan,” which Jacques Futrelle, one
of the heroes of the Titanic, wrote
several years ago, and which he in
tended converting into a play.
Mrs. Futrelle decided last season
that the time was ripe for a society
play, and set about rewriting "The
Simple Case of Susan,” w'hich was
changed into “Lieutenant What’s His
Name” to suit the stage.
“I believed a play of this kind
would succeed, and when “Years of
Discretion” was produced Its recep
tion confirmed my faith. Although,
I had Mr. Futrelle’s shadowy form
of the play to build from, I was not
In the frame of mind to take up the
work with the activity it required,
and that is why I did not get it
pushed last year.
“Mr. Futrelle never embellished the
idea he had for the play, so I took
it up and worked It out, rewriting
the pieces entirely and filling in the
points of strength necessary for a
stage production,” said Mrs. Futrelle.
"Lieutenant What’s His Name” has
been changed into a novel by Mrs.
Futrelle and will be brought out at an
early date.
Mrs. Futrelle is also engaged upon
two big plays, one a farce and the
other a human play, which she hopes
to have ready for a try-out by next
season. She is writing two series of
short society stories, and has the
plots of many other stories well un
der way. It will be seen by this
that she is a very busy writer.
Mrs. Futrelle has left New York
and is at present at Stepping Stones,
her seaside home at Scituate, Mass.
