Lakewood bade farewell to Captain
Ben Schlomberg Tuesday. He will
spend Wednesday at his home in
Jonesboro. When the Lusitania sails
for New York at the end of the week,
he will be Its passenger, bound for a
try at swimming the English Chan
nel—and just one try, he says.
“ ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try,
try again,’ they used to*tell me,” says
Captain Schlomberg. ‘‘but this is on
time it doesn’t apply. I shall pick a
day when things lool: good and when
I feel just right, and dive into the
brine at Dover. I’ll use the last ounce
of my strength. If I succeed—fine*
If I do not—well, that ends it.”
Evrything, he believes, favors his
chances.
Swimmer Is Right Physically.
‘‘I am in the best trim,” he de
dared Tuesday. “When the season
began here, I weighed 154 pounds and
measured 28 Inches around the waist
That’s too thin for a swimmer 5 feet
8 1-2 inches tall. I went on a milk
and cracker diet for nine weeks. It
put eight pounds on me and increased
my waist measure t: cee inches. Now
I’m as near right as I ev°r will be,
physically.
“Scientists have proved that be
tween September 4 and September 28
the waters of the channel are warm
est. Captain Webb swam it on Sep
tember 9; Burgess made it September
6. I’ll be there a little later when
conditions are supposed to be at their
best.
"After all, it’s bound to be part
luck. The weather will make all the
difference in the world. T hope luck's
with me.”
Interested in Brown’* Feat.
Captain Schlomberg was much in
terested in the achievement of Cap
tain Alfred Brown, who swam from
the Battery to Sandv Hook, Ne-.v
York/ Augu9t 29 a feat often at
tempted but never before accom
plished. The distance Is 22 miles,
about the same as across the chan
nel, and the tides are supposed to be
as hard to combat.
“I wanted to try that.” said Cap
tain Schlomberg, “but he beat me to
it.”
“What If you fail .» cross the chan
nel?” he was asked
"There still are some swims that
never have been made—Key West to
Havana, for instance. I’ll try that
next.”

NEW HAVEN, CONN., Sept. 2.—
Fourteen persons were killed *and
seventy-five were injured at 7 o’clock
this morning when the White Moun
tain Express, southbound, on the New
Haven Railroad crashed Into the rear
end of the Bar Harbor Express No.
91 at Talcott Crossing, a mile north
of North Haven, Conn., eight miles
from this city.
The Bar Harbor Express had
stopped at a banjo signal, which was
set against it. In the dense fog.the
following train failed to see the train
ahead and plowed through five of the
rear coaches, all of which were heav
ily loaded.
Coroner Mix, of this city, was im
mediately notified and, with a corps
of physicians and nurses, was soon
on the scene. The dead and wounded
were scattered along the tracks, and
many of them were gathered together
as quickly as possible and taken to
New Haven-Wallin Cord trolley lino,
not far distant, where they were
started for the New Haven hospitals.
This stretch of road is being
equipped at the present time with a
new system of signals to replace the
old-style banjo signals, which had
been in use for many years.
These signals had been condemned
following a wreck on the line of road
between this city and Hartford, by
the Connectlcutt public utilities com
mission. It was recently announced
following the series of wrecks on the
road that the signals system would be
changed.
To-day Is the first day of the ad
ministration of President Howard N.
Elliott, of the New Haven road, suc
ceeding President Charles N. Mellen,
whose resignation followed a series of
attacks on the administration of the
road, augmented by a number of fatal
wrecks.
This statement was issued by the
New’ Haven Road two hours after
the wreck:
‘‘At 7 a. m. this morning the first
section of the White Mountain Ex
press No. 95 ran into the rear end
of the second section of the Bar Har
bor Express No. 93 at North Haven.
Two rear sleepers of the Bar Harbor
train were telescoped. Thirteen dead
have been removed from the wreck
and twenty are injured.”

City’s Notables Get
Hay Fever! Run Away.
Now is the open season for hay
fever, as a canvass of the number
of prominent men out of the city
will show. None but prominent men
ever have hay fever, they say. With
an ordinary mortal it never gets
worse than a bad cold. But at this
time of the year there are any num
ber of well-known business and
professional men who are at the sea
shore or the mountains with the
familiar excuse left behind that they
won’t be back until cold weather on
account of the hay fever.
Hay fever, it seems. Is not limited
to any climate. It is a perennial
trouble that only a change of cli
mate will prevent. Experts declare
It gets worse late in summer be
cause of fine particles of chaff which
are sloughed off by weeds and
breathed into the nostrils, irritating
a sensitive nerve.
Captain James W. English, presi
dent of the Fourth National Bank,
annually flees from it. Ex-Mayor
Courtland S. Winn has his nose made
almost as red as his hair by it every
year about this time.
Mayor James G. Woodward used
to complain much about it, but since
it has become the pet trouble of one
of his chief political opponents, Car
los H. Mason, chairman of the Po
lice Commission, he is bearing his
suffering in silence.
Those afflicted assert they can tell
the exact day and almost the hour
this trouble will come on each year.
Accordingly there is usually a mad
rush at the last moment to get to
the mountains.

Taylor Pens Moral Play;
They Lived Happily, etc.
Walter Taylor, Atlanta’s famous
City Clerk, has attached new honors.
He is now a full-fledged motion pic
ture scenario author.
On September 3 the Edison Com
pany will release Mr. Taylor’s first
picture—a pathetic circus drama en
titled “The Girl, the Clown and the
Donkey.” The story is simple and
touching.
Joey, the “butt” of the circus, had
no friends but Margaret, a fair bare-
back rider, and Dynamite, his donkey.
But conditions changed one day when
he received a notice that he had in
herited a fortune from an uncle who
had died in Germany.
Just when all were patting him on
the back a telegram came which read:
“The amount left you by your
uncle is $34.”
Joey couldn't stay with the circus
after that. He ran away. Several
weeks later he slipped back to have
a quiet talk with Dynamite.
The Strong Man found him whis
pering into Joey’s ear. The Strong
Man shoved him away and then gave
Dynamite a vicious kick.
That was more than Joey could
stand. He pounced on the Strong
Man and overwhelmed him.
W’hen a crowd had collected on ac
count of the disturbance, Margaret
rushed in with startling news. There
had been a mistake in the telegram.
It should have read $34,000.
And Margaret, Joey and Dynamite
left the circus.

Ed Tatum Got Into
Tantrum; Blame Him?
There are no two more famous ne
groes in Atlanta than Shamrock and
Ed, attaches of General Manager
Zode Smith, of the City Water De
partment. Shamrock is - vagabond
whose highest ambition is to act as
bartender at the encampments of the
Fifth Regiment. Ed is an active
churchman.
Ed—Tatum is his last name—let it
be known that he expected to get a li
cense to exhort. Every morning for
weeks after this secret got out Sham
rock would laugh and ask him:
"Has you got dem licenses yet?”
The other day, Ed. exasperated,

Gil Price or Dent To Be Sent
Against Gulls in First of
Crucial Series. , ^
Continued from Page 1.
in a row, however, the Gulls will be
one down, and an even break in the
t^o New Orleans games would give
the Crackers the pennant, even if
they lost the final game to Chatta
nooga Saturday.
Every Proposition Possible.
If the Crackers took the Mobile se
ries straight, and then won the sin
gle game with Chattanooga, the Gulls
would be beaten, no matter how their
games with New Orleans came out.
And there is every proposition pos
sible in the last drive to the wire.
But it all hinges on a very simple
proposition—
Atlanta must beat Mobile four
games in a row.
The club is in great shape for the
series. There will be no hard-luck
alibis for defeat. Elliott Dent’s lame
shoulder is right once more, and he
or Gil Price will draw the pitching
job in the “jump” game to-day.
The spirit of the Crackers never
was better.
After yesterday’s game, when it
was known that at last the oppor
tunity for a Garrison finish was pos
sible, the boy9 met in the clubhouse
and shook hands all ’round. And
they told each other:
“We’ll Whip ’Em.”
"We can lick those birds—and we’re
going to do it!”
That’s the way the Crackers feel
about it.
And, win or lose, they have made a
grand fight.
This is the probable line-up for
both clubs in the game which starts
at 3:30 o’clock this afternoon:
Atlanta.
