8 A TTEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, 0A„ SUNDAY, JULY 27, 1013. T SETTLECOPPER FI 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. Railroads ‘Rotten/ Says Lafollette Senate Declares That Mellen’s Case Is Typical of Entire Sys tem in Nation.

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.

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. Relatives of the dead man declare J 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.

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 •■something different,” Reid to Prosecute In Crawford Case Stone Mountain Circuit Solicitor Is Appointed Because of Dorsey’s Disqualification.

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.” M C.

Mr. Maxwell, who formerly W’as with the Rhodes Syndicate In Charleston. S. C., has definite ideas of standard advertising.

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. IN NEW PUT Atlanta Writer’s Most Recent Work, Founded on Husband’s Story, Produced at Utica.

Joseph Ragan, Jr., the organist and director, arranged the program, which will be participated in by Miss Annie Laurie Langford, soprano; Mrs. Charles Bel- lingrath. contralto; Charles Brown, tenor, and J. R. Regnas. basso. 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.
