Airship; Thinks It
Helps Complexion
PARIS Sept. 2.—Lillian Russell,
who left Paris recently for Germany,
telegraphs the following graphic ac
count of her experiences in a Zeppe
lin airship:
Yes, I flew through the air over
the City of Berlin to-day. Only
one word describes the trip—won
derful.
I have often envied the birds as
they flew through the air, but to
day I flew faster than any bird.
When the dirigible balloon is per
fected there will be no more wars.
There will be universal peace, and
I shall be glad of it. From our
commanding position to-day a
whole army could have been de
stroyed.
I could not advise women with
weak hearts to make this trip.
But the wonderful air should be
food for complexions.

Race Suicide Lauded
At Suffragist Meet
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—Suffragists
at a noonday meeting were stunned
when Charles Goldzier, a well-known
attorney, uttered this sentiment:
“Race suicide is a good thing for
our country. It is one of the impor
tant features of the reform movement
for better conditions and a great re
gard for human life.
“When the time comes that w*»

I be time to bring children into the

no more children be born.”

ment concerning thr affair. He says
he is doing his utmost to stop the
proceedings, which have been insti
tuted mischievously.
“Having seen the newspaper clip

MACON, Sept. 2.—Thus far efforts
of mutual friends to bring about a
reconciliation between Dr. A. B. Hin
kle and his wife, Mrs. Nita Hinkle,
who are estranged, have been un
availing. and Mrs. Hinkle has reiter
ated her intention of Immediately
suing for divorce. She has placed the
matter in the hand* of John R. L.
Smith, her attorney and it is stated
the suit will be filed as soon as he
can prepare the papers.
Dr. Hinkle declares that his ene
mies are urging his wife to take this
course. He says he still loves her
and their children, and does not pro
pose to do anything to bring further
disgrace upon them. He declares ne
intends to remain in Macon and prac
tice his profession and in time con
vince the public that he has been a
true and loyal husband and father
during his 25 years of marriec life.
Scores Husband’s Conduct.
Mrs. Hinkle, on the other hanl,
charges that her husbiipd.’s conduct
has been such as to cause her and
the children to be ostracized by their
former friends, and that she had fully
determined to seek a legal separa
tion.
Mrs. Hinkle and the children have
for the time being left the palatial
Hinkle residence and are residing
with Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Lanier in
the Nevarn, Apartrrents. Dr. Hinkle
and his 80-year-old mother, Mrs.
Laura Hinkle, of New York, whose

Beyond this I have nothing to say.’
Information concerning Earle that
seems to be reliable, is that in his
present stay on the Continent no
woman has become his affinity or
even his comrade. He visited a F'rench
family named D'Hautricourt and
other friends n< <r Calais part of the
time, and for the remainder of his
stay has been entertained by the Wan-
dterweidens, the family of an artist
friend in America.
Both these fann i’es are so observant
of convent’ons that they are classed
as “puritan” irt their communitiel.
It is believed they would not tolerate
conduct in Earle or any otlifer
that would provoke a divorce suit
against him or invoLve their names. '
Children Her Companions.
LONDON, Sept. 2.—Mrs Hejen T
S. Earle is extreme’ attached to
her children, who are here with her,
and that attachment is intensified be
cause she regards them as her com
panions in misfortune. Their father
has never even seen his younger
daughter, who closely resembles him.
Mrs. Earle has no plans for the
future, beyond obtaining a. divorce,
but she will continue to live with her
mother In England or may accom
pany her to join her father, wh*o is

they have won eleven.
Now they are confronted by the
Mobile GuTs, Mike Finn’s hard-hit
ting bunch, with a three-game lead
and a four-game series to play.
Atlanta must win all four games
of that series.
Winning three and losing one, the
Gulls would leave Atlanta leading by
one game. Then Atlanta would have
to win Saturday’s game from Chatta
nooga while Mobile lost Saturday’s
and Sunday’s games to New Orleans
to finish in front.
* Mobile is * not likely to lose two !
games to New Orleans.
If {he Crackers can win four games
in a row, however, the Gulls will be
oneydown, and an even break iti the
two 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 lajjt drive to the wire.
But it all hinges on a very simple
proposition—
Atlanta must beat Mobile four
games in a row.

THURSDAY
NEW HAVEN, CONN., Sept. 2 —
From 10 to 25 persons were killed
and 75 injured shortly before 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 che
following train failed to see the train
ahead and nlowed 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-Wallli ord trolley line,
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 cignals had been condemned
following a wreck on the line of road
between this city and Hartford, by
the Connecticutt public utilities com
mission. It was recently announced
following the series of wrecks on the
road that the signals system w'ould be
changed.
To-day is the first day of the ad
ministration of President Howard N.
! Elliott, of the New Haven road, suc-
| reeding President Charles N. Mellen,
| whose resignation followed a series of
1 attacks on the administration of the
road, augmented by a number of fatal
’ wrecks.
j At the offices of the New' Haven
road here it was stateed that the list
of dead would not exceed fifteen.
Early estimates exceeded this.
It was said that the dead were still
lying beside the wreck, nearly two
hours after the crash and that many
of the injured were being cared for
there temporarily pending removal to
hispitals.

Young Woman When Last Seen
Said She Was Going to Plant
to Do Some Work.
Fearing another Phagan mystery,
detectives scoured Atlanta Tuesday
In a search for pretty Miss Clara Bell
Griffin, an employee of the National
Pencil Company, who is not known
to have been seen since she left home
at 6:20 Monday morning bound for
work,
, A sinister coincidence is that Mon
day was a holiday, as was the da.\
when Mary Phagan went to the fac
tory and was foully slain.
Louis A. Griffin, brother of the
mysteriously missing girl, was at the
factory Tuesday morning to demand
what had become of his sister.
"Yesterday was another holiday,"
he told the factory attaches, "and to
day another girl Is missing. Whai
has become of her?’’
Said She Was Going to Factory,
Griffin, who left his work at the
Gate City Coffee Company, where he
is a machinist to take up the hunt
for his sister, was assured by Fore
man N. V. Darley that no one had
been working at the factory yester
day, on account of it’s being Labor
Day, and that it was preposterous tc
believe that Miss Grlirin had been
there.
The frantic brother, however, told
a reporter for The Georgian, that his
sister had told Mrs. Griffin, her moth
er, that she had to be at the factory
at 11 o’clock to do some work.
Miss Griffin is 21 years old and lives
with her mother and her brother.

from work Monday night. They im
mediately began an inquiry at th*
homes where she might have stayed
all night.
No one had seen her. An alarm
was given the police department and
detectives were sent out at once tc
ascertain where she had last beer
seen. The factory was visited to de
termine if she had worked there Mon
day. Acquaintances were interview
ed; but none of them had seen her.
Mother Knows Nothing of Her.
A young man known to have paid
her some attention in the past was
found by the detectives. He said tha:
he knew Miss Griffin well, but that hi
had not seen her for several days.
Miss Griffin has been employed ai
the pencil factory for about three
months. She w’orked on the fourth
floor in the “heading” department,
placing the rubbers in the pencils
She Is said at the factory to have
been an exceptionally good worke;
and to have paid strict attention to
the work on which she was engaged.
It w’as reported Tuesday that she
was refused permission at her home
to attend a show during the day and
that she told her people that she was
going to run away and go in spite of
their commands. This rumor was de
nied by her brother Tuesday morn
