CRACKERS CONFIDENTOF 2d VICTORY 250 CHILDREN NEED MONEY FOR BOOKS 16 MORE SEPTEMBER MORNS AT PIEDMONT MISS PRANCES SMITH. Your Mite Will Make Some De-' serving Youngster Yearning for an Education Happy. Even going' to public school is de- ied you if you are very poor—as poor s the families of a certain 250 At- mta children. About that many boys rid girls there are in the city who ill be unable to enter school when Ie term begins next Monday. There ' no money at home to buy books and te necessary clothes. And that the children may have the pportunity they desire and the fiance for the education they covet a ind is being raised in Atlanta to pay ie necessary expenses. The appeal ir contributions was first made by ie Associated Charities, and extend- i to every person In Atlanta. The need of each chil/3 is small, itifully small, judged by the general andards. And yet the dollar or the ,ck of it will hiean education or noranco for most of the 250. You who read this would smile, ouldn’t you, at the thought of the ;ry weighty financial transaction lat spending a dollar involves. May Be Their Only Chance. But there are voys and girls who i-day are crying out their hearts be- tuse another day nearer the school •rm has come and they see no chance . enter. Most of the children, according to ie figures of the Associated Charl es. are of the age between babyhood ad that doubtful maturity whos<f ears permit them to work In the dlls. This year only their age keeps lem at home, and to many, then lis is the, one opportunity for even a nattering of learning, for the bare iree ''R's.” And because they lack the little mount, for books and clothes, they iust stay at . home, facing the pros ect of illiteracy. There must be money for books, lothes are necessary, too. And to lat end the Associated Charities has sked for contributions, both of cash nd of clothes. Fund Already Started. The Georgian and Sunday Ameri- m, with a contribution of $50, has eaded the list of donations, and will ■ceive cash contributions from other rurces. All money received will be ent immediately to the office of the ssociation. Gifts of clothes for the poor school hldren should be sent to the office of ie Associated Charities, in the Gould uilding on Decatur street, between eachtree and Pryor streets. The school term begins Monday, nd the appeal that has gone out pars the request that donations of loney or clothes be made lmmedlate- - as the time grows short, and there re many children to care for. It is estimated that no child will eed more than $10 for books and othing together. Many will need no .ore than $1. Sum Needed Is Trivial. just a little sum the price of a aseball game or two. a box of candy, theater ticket. But to 250 children means the chance of an education, robably to some it is the only chance The children who feel thus the inch of poverty are eager to attend chool, according t!o Joseph Logan, •cretary of the Associated Charitie3. None of your indifferent laggards re they, but children of spirit who ■ill make the most of their oppor- mitles, and who will learn, even if ils be their only year at school, nough of reading, writing and arith- lelic to givd them a glimmer of the ossibilities of education and of de- elopment that lie beyond. So much ie appeal promises, that the Asso- iated Charities has sent out to ail Now and then comes a real opportunity for doing good—an opportunity so big and so broad that even the worst of us re gard it a privilege to join in and help. Just such an opportunity is offered Atlantans by the plea from the Associated Charities for a fund to buy school books for 250 little children of the poor. Could there be a stronger appeal 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 five dollars or ten dollars better than in a contribution 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 contribution 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. FOR STATE SECRET Electrically Grown Peaches and Onions 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. Insuil’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'.” New Haven Death Toll Twenty- Crop Report Assures $5,000,000 one, Thirty-five Hurt—Sig- More Than 1911 Receipts for- nal System Scored.

Oath Bars Chicagoan From State St.; Can’t Remain Sober There 1 CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Hereafter when 1 j Robert H. Court goes shopping in a State street department store he must ! carefully skirt the lake shore and slip | in through an entrance on Wabash , avenue or on one of the cross streets in the loop. Once inside he may gaze longingly dow-n on State, street from a window, but closer than that Court may not go I on pain of breaking a lifelong oath! which he took municipal Judge Sa- j bath’s court. Mrs. Court told Judge Sabath that her husband followed the straight and , narrow* patch except when he got on State street.

BEGINS ON THE WOMAN’S MAGAZINE PAGE To -morrow NEW HAVEN, CONN., Sept. 3.— 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 Charles Henry Murray, of 1 Springfield, are locked up without bonds by orders of Coroner Eli Mix, who is holding a secret inquest. Inquest Held in Secret. After spending much time at the*! sceno of the wwk yesterday after noon the Coroner continued his in- j quest in the offices of the New Haven road here in company with the rail- j road officials'and Chief Engineer El- J well of the Connecticut Public Util- 1 ities Commission. No newspapermen 1 were permitted to hear the prelimin- : ary testimony gathered from the rail- ^ road men. In direct contrast to the proceed- lngs following the fatal wrecks at j 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 was rumored this morning that State's Attorney Arnon A. Ailing, to whom Coroner Mix 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 coaches and their furnishjngs, was gathered together 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 r.^laced, under headway of a few minutes, in- # sufficient to permit of 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 Continued on Page 2. Column 5. The sun is shining prosperity all over Georgia to-day. The Government report, which sent the price of cotton up $3 50 a bale, shows that the crop in this State is in as good condition as it was last year, and that the harvest will yield Geor gia more than $5,(100,000 more than in 1912. Cotton in Georgia did not deterior ate even one-tenth of a point from July 25 to August 25. according to the Census Bureau estimate of condition. North Carolina and South Carolina gained 1 and 2 points, respectively; Florida lost but 1 point in condition. With these exceptions, every State in the cotton belt recorded serious de preciation in the condition of the growing staple, the losses ranging from 4 points for the relatively linlm. portant area in California to 36 points for Oklahoma. Texas, the greatest cotton State, is 17 points off. The central belt shows insect ravages. In the West is drouth. Mills Seeking New Crop. Spot cotton rules now above 12 [ cents. The world’s mills are supposed ( to hve used 750,000 more bales last year than the world’s fields grew, j This must have reduced the cotton left over from 1911, the banner 16.000,- OOft-bale crop year, to almost nothing. Those who are keenest in watching the cotton trade already ec signs that the mills in America and abroad al ready are in the market for the new crop. These are the arguments which point to sustained high prices for cot ton. Georgia last year had a short cottor. crop, while Texas produced an enor mous yield. This year Texas banks are overflowing with money. Many of them are going through this au tumn without borrowing from New York, for the first time, they say, ir. twenty years. Many of them, in fact, have loaned funds in New York at this period of tight money. That’s what a big crop and high pric es do for a favored State. That is what Georgia financiers look forward to hopefully. Crop Going to “Pay Out.” What Georgia needed title year, above all things, was a good crop at fair prices. Obligations are hanging over from the previous season. There was tight money thi.^ year. This crop has to “pay out.” Every one realized this, and the discouraging early spring brought general gloom. All this now is changed. Trade already reflects the optimism born of good crop pros pects. The crop never was grown with less expense. Even 12-cent cotton will show good profits, and just now it looks as if 13 and a fraction is a price for middlings not beyond possibility. Sells Land: Oil Found On It; Kills Himself PUEBLO.

Indian, of Tisho mingo, Okla., killed himself after re ceipt of a letter informing him that a tract of land which he sold for a small sum recently changed hands for $3,000,000 as the result of the dis covery of oil.

Fair Bathers Hail With Delight the Postponement of Lake Closing. There are a lot of people in At lanta who were made happy by the action of the Park Board in deciding to keep Piedmont lAike open until September 19, but none of them is any happied than Miss Frances Smith, ore of the most popular girls at home in the lake. Miss Smith is one of the best girl swimmers in Atlanta, and has been a familiar figure at the lake all sea son. She was the first person to dare the waters, and dived off the big springboard into the chilly waters of the lake within :i few moments after the lake wash declared officially open, and she says she is going t,o be the last person to leave the lake when the powers that be shut it down in the 19th. Miss Smith lias done a lot of un usual things at Piedmont Lake. She can swim faster and farther and more gracefully than any of the hun dreds' of other young women who are devotees of the currents, and on La bor Day she proceeded to break a few more records. Incidentally she proved to th** satisfaction of every body who saw her that the water is not too cold for bathing at this time of the year. She swam 3 miles with out geting out of the water, break ing all records, and then came out of the lake as fresh and as rosy as when she went in. Then she pused for a picture of ‘‘September M«irn!’' Not. September Morn a la Paul Chapas, but “September Morn” a lu Piedmont. Evelyn Thaw Offered Rich Chinese Slain $10,000 by Canadians SHERBROOKE.

The old "jump game” in packed away where the smoke and dust of battle \yill not tarnish—w’here the Gull.* can’t break through and steal. And now Bill Smith and the Cracker-, their vibrating nerves set and tuned by victory, confront with confidence the staggering prospect of having to win three more games from Mike Finn and the Mobile Gulls. It’s a huge job, still. But not near ly much of a Job as the Towm Boy* faced yesterday at this time. True to the principles of Erin. Mique led trumps. He shot “Pug' Cavet at the Crackers, and Pug. with one eye In a sling, did his best to ruin us. His best w r asn’t as good ae Gil Price. Th’at was all. Hogg May Get Chance. To-day an assortment of choice* confronts the genial Mr. Finn. Heine Berger and Wilbur Robertson are the logical pitching entries, both being fresh, after a good rest. But it will be Just like Friend Finn to skin over his cards again and flr*- Mr. Hogg at us. in fact, it’s just about up to Mr. Finn to keep leading trumps. Ev ery game the Crackers win takes a great wad of confidence from* the Gulls and turns it over to the Crack ers. If this series ever should get it self boiled down to the last game, w’ith the Crackers winning the firs* three, Mr. Finn's robust back w'ould be so close to the wall that a knit ting needle couldn't be driven behin ? him with a sledge hammer. And nobody knows that better than this same Mr. Firm. So Mr. Finn is going to trim us to day, if he can, just as he would have trimmed us yesterday, if he could. And if Mr. Finn doesn’t get us to day there’s a mighty hunch in Un making that Mr. Finn isn’t going to trim us at all. Up to Dent To-day. The Crackers have given Mr. Ca vet and his single sinister optic th once-over. And they do not fear him now. For the rest of the series Bill Smith has decided to w*ork Dent to day, with Joe Conzelman always n> the warming pan. To-morrow* it will be Carl Thompson, with Slim Lov and Conzelman both in reserve an L ready any moment. And If it comes to the final show down, on Friday, Gilbert Price, of the good left arm and the stalwari soul, will carry the money in the most important game ever played in Dixie.
