Pair Caught on Roof of Church
Assert They Were Looking
for Hammer,
W. E. Nace. 32 McDaniel street, and
R. R. Greenlee, 400 Spring street, ar
rested Tuesday night on complaint of
a young woman living at 49 Washing-
ton street, who told the police Nace
and Greenlee were peeping into her
room from the roof of the Central
Presbyterian Church, emphatically de
nied Wednesday morning that they are
• peeping Toms.” Nace Is employed
by the W. R. Jones Slate Roof Com
pany, and Greenlee Is a stenographer
for the Orr Stationery Company. They
will be tried in Police Court Wednes
day afternoon.
"Neither Greenlee nor myself was
looking into any woman's room,” de
clared Nace Wednesday rooming.
"We w'ere up on the roof looking for
a hammer that I had left there. 1
had been doing some work on the
roof of the Central Presbyterian
Church, and had left my tools and
working clothes there.
Took Part in Exercises.
•*Last night my employer told me to
get my tools and go to Falrburn, Ga..
this morning. I went up to the church
early In the evening and found that
an athletic exhibition was being given
by Captain W. C. Massey’s Sunday
school class, of which Greenlee is a
member. I am Interested In athletics,
and I watched the exhibition for a
while. Then they invited me to take
part in it, which I did for an hour or
two.
"About 9 o'clock I began to gather
«p my clothes and tools and missed
one of my hammers. I remembered
I had left it on the roof of the
church, and asked Greenlee to go up
with me to get it. It was very dark
up there, and we were searching all
over the roof when the officers ar
rested us. If there were any wom
en in the apartment houses we
didn't see them.
Backs Up Friend’s Story.
Greenlee corroborated Nace’s
irtory In every detail. He says he Is
a member of the Central Presbyte
rian church.
According to the story told the
police by the young woman who had
the men arrested, she was lying on
the bed in her room in Apartment 8.
She happened to look out of her
window, and saw Nace and Greenlee
looking into her room. She slipped
out of the room, she says, and tel
ephoned to the police. Call Officers
Shumate and Cochrane answered the
call.

S DELUGE OF FUFF
VOTES CLOSES
L
Hixon-Searcy Bill Merely Goes
Over Until Next Year, Awaiting
Decision on U. S, Statute,
That the Hlxon-Searcey bill, pro
posing to extend the Webb bill pro
visions to Georgia, was not killed
outright in the House Temperance
Committee,• rather than sent over to
next session in charge of a sub
committee, is due to the work of Mr.
Ennis, of Baldwin.
When the question of this bill’s
probable unconstitutionally was
raised in the committee, it was
pointed out that the Webb law is
being tested in the United States
courts, and that by this time next
year it will be ruled upon finally. If
the law Is upheld, it was contended,
Georgia might extend its laws to
meet the Federal statute. If ruled
unconstitutional, however, Georgia
would lose nothing by waiting.
In addition to this, it was shown
that to pass the law now simply
would shut off approximately $300,-
060 already on hand, and more to ac
cumulate within the year, would pile
up a total deficit to the appalling ex
tent of over $1,000,000. '
When these things were made
clear to the committee, a disposition
was evident upon the part of several
members to kill the bill outright,
with the idea that it might be rein
troduced in the next Legislature, if
it then seemed advisable? tax reform
having been enacted in the mean
time and the present deficit wiped
out.
Mr. Ennis, vice chairman of the
committee, strenuously objected to
the bill s slaughter in the commit
tee, however, and prevailed upon his
colleagues to refer the entire mat
ter to a sub-committee for a report
next session, rather than let the bill
go to its death in this Legislature.
The bill was given that direction,
and Mr Ennis was made vic e chair
man of the committee having the
measure in charge.

Pony Contest Manager Repeats
Warning That No Contestant
Is Safe—Shetlands Parade.
'•Red Letter Ballots" came in an
avalanche Tuesday afternoon and
evening, burying the clerks in the
contest manager’s office.
This was the last bonus offer, the
Inst bit of help for the boys and girls
w’ho are striving for The Georgian and
American ponies. Wednesday, Thurs
day—Thursday midnight, and the
race is over.
Admiring crow'ds in the business
district of Atlanta stood along the
sidewalks Wednesday morning to see
the 22 ponies which will go to the
two winners in each of eleven dis
tricts. Though unused to city sights,
the ponies behaved very well, and
certainly made a splendid showing.
District Races Clos®.
There is just one tiling for the boys
and girls to remember—it all will be
over Thursday at midnight. There
are close races in almost every dis
trict. The hoy or girl who is nosed
out of first place by a very few votes
will regret for years that he did not
see just a few more people the last
day; that he did not try for at least
one more subscription than the num
ber he thought enough.
Some of the most confident—the
bragging sort—are in most danger of
losing. This is the "tip" from the
contest manager.
No one is safe.
And Thursday is at hand.
Followed Advice.
Hardly one of the contestants over
looked his opportunity, offered by the
"Red Letter Ballots,” to get 2.000
votes for $2. Some *of the boys and
girls brought in dozens of these "Red
Letter Ballots.”
They followed the advice of the con
test manager and concentrated all
their efforts on subscriptions to The
Sunday American up until Tuesday
night.
That offer now is history. A brief,
sharp sprint, with no favors asked or
given, and the pony contest will end
in a blaze of glory.

No More Headaches
Coffee drinking induces headache, indigestion, nervousness, heart trou
ble, and many other ills. This because coffee contains the poisonous drug,
caffeine.
•
A prominent business man of Memphis, Tenn., writes under date of April 21. 1913,
of his experience in quitting coffee. He says:
I*or a number of years 1 had been a great sufferer from headaches and indigestion.
About January first of this year 1 left off coffee and began the use of Instant Pos-
tum. Since getting from under the influence of coffee, headaches have caused. I can
eat anything I want to, and have no indigestion. In addition to this I have gained in
weight.
‘1 attribute it all to the stopping of coffee .and the use of Postum.
I write this letter simply to add my testimony to the many you already have, and
to induce some fellow' sufferer to get relief by quitting coffee and turning to Instant
Postum as a morning beverage.” (Name given on request.)
Instant Postum
is a pure food-drink, made only of clean, roasted whole wheat and a small
quantity oL molasses. It contains no drug whatever, but does contain the
vital phosphates of the grain which are ssential for the upbuilding of brain
and nerve and muscle tissue.
li something interferes with your comfort, suppose you try leaving off
coffee and use Instant Postum.
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Postum (must be boiled.)
Instant Postum doesn’t require boiling, but is prepared instantly by stirring a level
teaspoonful in an ordinary cup of hot water and adding cream and sugar to taste.
A level teaspoonful makes it right for most people. Some use a heaping teaspoonful
and temper it with plenty of cream, and it has a delightfully snappy flavor that is won
derfully pleasing. Find out how you like it and always have it served that way.
