ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1913. By 2 CENTS. EVENING EDITION 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.

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.

No newspapermen were permitted to hear the prelimin ary testimony gathered from the rail road men.

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.

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.

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.
