DENT AGAINST BERGER IN SECOND GAME
Superintendent Slaton Praises
Campaign for Schoolbooks Fund
Superintendent of Schools Slaton Wednesday highly praised the move to raise a fund to pro
vide poor children with schoolbooks and clothing. He said:
“There are many poor children in Atlanta who can not get the benefit of an education.
The only way to place helpless children in the public schools is for the public to subscribe to a
fund which will clothe and feed and shelter them and buy their books.
“If these children who can not go to school are permitted to frequent the slums and the pit-
falls of city life, society must foot the bill by maintaining courthouses and officers and jails.
“The effort of The Georgian and The Sunday American to secure money for the poor to get
an education is direct protection to every life and every dollar’’s worth of property in the State.
“I heartily commend the enterprise of The Georgian and Sunday American in this noble
work, and earnestly urge everyone to help the good cause.' ’
A Real Opportunity
Even going - to public school is de
nied you if you are very poor—as poor
as the families of a certain 250 At
lanta children. About that many boys
and girl9 there are in the city who
win be unable to enter scnool when
the term begins next Monday. There
is no money at home to buy books and
the necessary clothes.
And that the children may have the
opportunity they desire and the
chance for the education they covet a
fund is being raised in Atlanta to pay
the necessary expenses. The appeal
for contributions was first made by
the Associated Charities, and extend
ed to every person in Atlanta.
The need of each child if? small,
pitifully small, judged by the general
tandards. And yet the dollar or the
lack of it will mean education or
ignorance for moat of the 250.
You who read this would smile,
wouldn’t you, at the thought of the
very weighty financial transaction
that sp« tiding a dollar Involves.
May B© Their Only Chance.
But there are noys and girls who
to-day are crying out their hearts be
cause another day nearer the school
term has come and they see no chance
t<> enter
Most of the children, according to
the figures of the Associated Chari
ties, are of the age between babyhood
and that doubtful maturity whose
years permit them to work in the
mills. This year only their age keeps
them at home, and to many, then,
this is the one opportunity for even a
►•mattering of learning, for the bare
tii tee "R’s.”
And because they lack the little
.••mount for books and clothes, they
must stay at home, facing the pros
pect of illiteracy.
There must be money for books.
Clothes are necessary, too. And to
that end the Associated Charities has
af»ked for contributions, both of cash
and of clothes.
Fund Already Started.
The Georgian and Sunday Ameri
can, with a contribution of $50, has
headed the list of donations, and will
receive cash contributions from other
sources. All money received will be
•sent^immediately to the office of the
association.
Gifts of clothes for the poor school
children should be sent to the office of
the Associated Charities, in the Gould
Building on Decatur street, between
Peachtree and Pryor streets.
The school term beguis. Monday,
and the appeal that has gone out
bears the request that donations ol
money or clothes be made immediate
ly, as the time grows short, and there
are many children to care for.
It is estimated that no child will
need more than $10 for books and
clothing together. Many will need no
more than $!.
Sum Needed Is Trivial.
Just a little sum the price of a
baseball game or two, a box of candy,
a theater ticket. But to 250 children
it means the chance of an education. -
Probably to some it is the only chance
The children who feel thus the
pinch of poverty are eager to attend
school, according to Joseph Logan
secretary of the Associated Charities.
None of your indifferent laggards
are they but children of spirit who
will make the most of their oppor
tunities, and who will learn, even if
this be their only year at school,
enough of reading, writing - and arith
metic to give them a glimmer of the
possibilities of education and of de
velopment that lie beyond. So much
the appeal promises, that the Asso
ciated Charities has sent out to all
Atlanta.
Now and then comes a real op
portunity for doing good—an op
portunity so big and so broad
that even the worst of us regard
it a privilege to join in and help.
Just such an opportunity is of
fered Atlantans by the plea from
the Associated Charities for a
fund to buy schoolbooks for 250
little children of the poor.
Could there be a stronger ap
peal than is furnished by these
bright-eyed, ambitious young
Anglo-Saxons whose thirst for an
education even extreme poverty
threatens to destroy?
Could you invest one dollar,
five dollars, ten dollars, or even
a few cents better than in a con
tribution to this fund? Not if
you had waited for years.
The Georgian has headed the
list with a check for $50. It will
be only a day or two before the
sum needed is raised.
Join quick with your contri
bution before you lose the best
chance of the year to show that
you are a good citizen and one
worth having in such a city as
Atlanta.
Tight Shoes Keep
Apollo From Navy
SPRINGFIELD, MO., Sept. 3.—Be
cause he had pinched his feet into
shoes several sizes too small, thus
contracting “hammer toes,” Frank
Eversley. a well-built young man, was
turned away from the United States
Naval Recruiting Station.
The applicant was in practically
every respect the nearest perfect
specimen of physical manhood who
has ever applied at the recruiting sta
tion, but his ambition for a dainty
foot has ruined his chances for naval
service.

Railroad Uses Torch, Destroying Wreck Evidence
SECRET
New Haven Death Toll Twenty-
one, Thirty-five Hurt—Sig
nal System Scored.
NEW HAVEN, CONN.. Sept.
With a total of 21 dead, four of them
unidentified, fifteen injured in hos
pitals here, and a score of others
being treated elsewhere, investiga
tions were begun to-day of the wreck
on the New Haven Railroad above
North Haven yesterday, when the
White Mountain express crashed in
to the second section of the Bar Har
bor express.
Engineer Augustus B. Miller, of the
White Mountain express, and Flag
man Qharles Henry Murray, of
Springfield, are locked up without
bonds by orders of Coroner 1011 Mix,
who is holding a secret inquest.
Inquest Held in Secret.
After spending much time at the
scene of the wreck yesterday after
noon the Coroner continued his in
quest in the offices of the New Haven
?dad- h*fre’'Trrpb»ip?mr wrrh the rnH-
road officials and Chief Engineer El-
well of the Connecticut Public Util
ities Commission. No newspapermen
were permitted to hear the prelimin
ary testimony gathered from the rail
road men.
In direct contrast to the proceed
ings following the fatal wrecks at
Saugatuck and Stamford was this
investigation. Each Connecticut
County Coroner is judge of whether
the investigation of death shall be
secret or public. Coroner Mix ad
heres to the old custom of interrogat
ing his witnesses in secret.
Road Disobeys the U. S.
Strong pressure was brought to
bear on him to-day to admit the pub
lic through the newspapers to his in
quest in order that the full and un
biased facts concerning this, the
worst wreck in the long history of
disasters on the New Haven road,
might be given to the people. It w'as
rumored this morning that State's
Attorney Arnon A. Ailing, to whom
Coroner Mijc makes his report, might
order a public investigation.
Chief Inspector H. K. Belnap and
four field inspectors of the Interstate
Commerce Commission who arrived
during the night were surprised to
find that in direct disobedience of the
orders from Washington the New
Haven road had burned the chief part
of the wreckage at North Haven.
Debris Burned in Haste.
The debris, consisting largely of
the remains of the wooden coach3S
and their furnishings, was gathered
togethe> by the railroad wrecking
crews and consigned to the fire with
in a few hours after the accident oc
curred.
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
McChord, it was learned from the
inspectors, would arrive some time
to-day and pending his arrival no
comment was made by the inspectors
on the action of the road in burning
the wreckage.
In the belief of those who have
gleaned from the stories of pas
sengers and trainmen something of
the facts concerning the cause of the
frightful collision, the entire ques
tion of responsibility will hinge upon
the running of fast through trains
over the division between New Ha
ven and Hartford, equipped with a
signal system condemned months
ago as faulty and ordered replaced,
under headway of a few minutes, in
sufficient to permit * f absolute safety,
especially in thick fog such as pre
vailed yesterday morning.
Rumors that, in order to accommo
date the heavy passenger traffic due
to the thousands returning from the
New England summer resorts, the
New Haven road had been running
trains over the various divisions un
der shortened headway are strenu
ously denied by the road, but will be
the subject of investigation. An
nouncement was made a few days be-

Electrically Grown

Form Prize Exhibit
LIBERTYVILLE. ILL., Sept. 3.—
Raising vegetables, grains and fruits by
electricity is the latest in scientific
farming.
The “electric method’* is being used
by Samuel Insull, president of the Com
monwealth Edison Company, on his
farm near Libertyville. Today those
who visited the Lake County Fair at
Libertyville saw Mr. Insull’s "electric’*
fruits, vegetables and grains.
“Any one who knows anything about
electricity knows that it is a great fer
tilizer." said Mr. Miller, who is in
charge of the exhibit. "In the early
spring when one wishes to force onions
and radishes, the current is applied
more frequently and one can almost see
things grow'."

MASTER HUGH LATIMER CARDOZA.
at 9:25 o’clock Tuesday night at the
State Prison farm near Milledge-
ville.
Death is supposed to have resulted
from hardships suffered when he es
caped from the farm last summer. For
several days Old Bill hid in a dense
swamp without food or water. Since
that time he had suffered from gas
tritis and his health had failed rapid
ly. He was 76 years old.
Before lie died “Old Bill" had a con
fidential talk with Warden J. E. Smith
and gave him some of the secret his
tory of his life, wlilch he asked to be*!
made public after hi« death. He also
gave the name of a sister in Kentucky
whom he wished notified of his death.
This has been done and she will ar
rive in Milledgeville Wednesday to
take charge of the body.
Despite his lawless career, which
he started at the age of fifteen years,
"Old Bill" boasted that he had never
harmed a woman or child or robbed
an individual. He terrorized express
trains, holding them up. «i times sin
gle handed.
Had Code of Honor All His Own.
He held to a code of honor pecu
liarly his ow n. His victims were cor
porations, especially the express com
panies against which I • held a griev
ance. He claimed that never during
his many sensational holdups of ex
press trains did lie ever demand mon
ey of passengers, but confined his
operations to Oie. baggage and express
cars which hdfooted of thousands of
dollars.
Among his "ten commandments"
which he held to was one which com
manded:
"Never take what belongs to an
other man. Rob only corporations.”
Others were:
Never fail to help a woman.
Keep every man’s good will.
Give a fellow money when he needs
it.
Never say a bad thing about a man
when you can say a good one.
And don’t squeal.
“Old Bill" was sent to the Milledge-
ville farm about four years ago for
train robbery near Gainesville. De
spite his years ,ho declared to the
prison officials that they could never
keep him. Soon afterwards he, with
Tom Moore and John Watts, made
their escape.
Moore was killed while resisting
arrest, and Miner was captured in
South Georgia. “Old Bill" claimed
that he could have made his escape,
but would not desert his comrade,
who broke his leg while climbing over
the sockade.

In the ribs, pinch your cheek and in
flict a thousand other tortures—un
less you happen to know his hobby
and lead him gently but firmly into
his father’s theater.
There he’ll rest content.
Plain black and white movies didn’t
make much of a hit with this son of
Jake Wells* Atlanta Pooh-Bah but he
began to eat out of his papa’s hand
at his very first sight of one of the
colored films.
Experts who have been consulted
believe the vivid reds and greens
have some hypnotic spell on the nerve
centers of mischief of young Mr.
Cardoza, paralyzing them momen
tarily', so that for the time being any
instincts for trouble he may have in
herited are suppressed.
Anyway there he sits for minutes
and minutes appraising every film
with as sure an eye as his iron gray-
haired dad. His very veracious
father says you can tel) by looking

And now Bill Smith and the Cracker:
th.'ir Vibrating nerves set and tunc
by victory, confront with confident-
the staggering prospect of having t
win three more games from Mik
Finn and the Mobile Gulls.
It’s a huge Job. still. But not near

faced yesterday at this time.
True to the principles of F.rir

Cavet at the Crackers, and Pug. wit!
one eye in a sling, did his best b
ruin us.
His best wasn’t as good as Gi
Price. That was all.
Hogg May Get Chance.
To-day an assortment of choice
confronts the genial Mr. Finn. Hein
Berger and Wilbur Robertson are tin
logical pitching entries, both beinj
fresh, after a good rest.
But it will be just like Friend Fim
to skin over his cards again and fir.
Mr. Hogg- at us.
In fact, it’* Just about up to Mr
Finn to keep leading trumps. Ev
ery game the Crackers win take,
a great wad of confidence from th*
Gulls and turns it over to the Crack

If this series ever should get ii
self boiled down to the last game
with the Crackers winning the firs
three, Mr. Finn's robust back woulc
be so close to the wall that a knit

him with a sledge hammer.
And nobody knows that better thar
this same Mr. Finn.
So Mr. Finn is going to trim us to

trimmed us yesterday. If he could.
And if Mr. Finn doesn’t get us to
day there’s a mighty hunch in, the
making that Mr. Finn isn’t going tr

Up to Dent To-day,
The Crackers have given Mr. Ca

For the rest of the series Bil
