J. G. Hall. Oitv Physician, vaccinating two vounffstcrs 10 CLEAR Mrs. Zella Bennett Aids Defense Counsel in Alleged Poisoning Case—Bitter Toward Accusers. Mrs. Zella Bennett, the devoted daughter of Mrs. Mary Belle Craw ford, took up her mother’s defense Thursday in a statement declaring and reiterating her confidence in Mrs. Crawford’s innocence of any part in Joshua Crawford’s mysterious death, and Repressing the deepest bitterness toward those who instigated the charges. Mrs. Crawford, with the accusation of her husband’s murder hanging over her, has found almost her sole con solation in the unswerving loyalty of her daughter. The suspected woman lives with Mrs. Bennett and the lat ter’s three children at No. 674 West Peaechtree street, and has seldom ap peared in public since the poisoning charges were preferred against her. Mrs. Bennett has been the almost constant companion of Mrs. Craw ford for more than three years, and the ties of love that bind her to her mother have been strengthened by the trying incidents of the past two months. She unconsciously has as sumed a protecting attitude toward Mrs. Crawford, and protests' her mother’s innocence with greater em phasis than even V. . Crawford her self. Broken by Mother’s Arrest. Mrs. Bennett has suffered from the persecution which she asserts her mother is undergoing to an even greater extent than the accused woman. She is bitter toward Mr. Crawford’s relatives, who are con testing her mother's righ't to the Crawford estate, and doubly bitter toward those who caused her arrest and incarceration in the Tower. “When they arrested mother and took her to jail,” Mrs. Bennett said. “I thought my heart would break. I knew she was innocent, and had no fear but that everything would come out all right. But the sight of mv mother behind the bars of a prison was almost more than I could bear. 1 think I suffered even more than she did—and God knows such persecu tion's has been her lot recently is enough to make any woman suffer, it is bad enough to be accused of any crime at all—but to have them say my mother killed h*r husband, a man whom she loved and who loved her devotedly—I can conceive of nothing more horrible or trying to a woman'** soul. "None of these relatives who are robbing Mr. Crawford's grave and trying to make iny mother out a bad 'woman loved him with one-half the love my mother bore for him 1 know my mother loved him, and I have never seen her so happy as she was when she told me she was going to , "marry Mr. Crawford. And I was hap py, too, because I knew Mr, Crawford was a good man, and whatever makes my mother happy makes me doubly so.” Adviser to Parent. Besides being her most loyal sup porter, Mrs. Bennett has been an ac tive adviser of her mother. She has suggested plans for defending Mrs. Crawford that are considered valuable by the accused woman's attorneys and that doubtless will be carried out should the Grand Jury indict the ac cused woman and the case come to • rial. She has been instrumental in keeping her mother in a happy frame of mind, cheering Mrs. Crawford and encouraging her with tender care, even though her own heart be sad. Mrs. Bennett and her husband made a great sacrifice in order that she might be with her mother. When Mr. Crawford died she was living in Pitts burg, where Mr. Bennett was in busi ness. At the request of her mother. ( hey gave up their Pittsburg home and came to Atlanta that she in.ght be with Mrs. Crawford. Government Plans To Set Clocks of Nation by Wireless WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Jewelers, railroad officers and others who de sire to have the correct time to a fraction of a second may have it flashed to them by wireless from Ar lington, Va.. providing the city they live in has a wireless station of any kind. ’t’he wireless waves from the Gov ernment station at Arlington are powerful enough to reach Chicago and even farther West.

COATICOOK, QUEBEC, Sept. 4.— Fighting in the last ditch against de portation from Canada, Harry K. Thaw\ the fugitive from the Mattea- wan asylum for the criminal insane, was arraigned before a board of in quiry composed of representatives of the Canadian Department of Immi gration to-day. Although Thaw had been warned by Attorney W. K. McKeown that the decision of the board probably would be against him. he w’as more cheerful than he had been several hours ear lier. Thaw raged in his quarters in the immigration building, declaring that representatives of the Immigration Department and William T. Jerome, former District Attorney of New’ York, were in league to "railroad’’ him back to Matteaw’an. Shortly before 7 o’clock Thaw re ceived a message from his mother, Mrs. William Thaw’, which read: “Keep a brave heart. I am coming to help you.” Denies He Broke Down. Immediately the prisoner took a brighter view of things. He sent out for his breakfast, which he'ate with apparent relish. Then he summoned the newspaper men. "There are reports abroad that I collapsed last night and am a nervous wreck, but these are untrue,” declared Thaw\ “I have not lost hope, and I believe that those who are in con spiracy to rush me out of the country in defiance of law and justice will not prevail.” The board of inquiry is composed of E. Blake Robertson. Deputy Super intendent of the Department of Im migration, and Immigration Inspect ors T. D. Williams, David Reynolds and T. E. Garceau.

He will be deiivi r^u up to the Sheriff of the county in which he finds himself. In the meantime, Former District Attorney Jerome and Captain John Layton, a private de tective who carries a warrant for Thaw’s arrest on a charge of conspir acy, together with half a dozen other private detectives and representatives of New York State, will keep pace with the automobile in which Thaw is deported. Thaw fears that Jerome’s nun will kidnap him as soon as he leaches Vermont, before he can be taken in charge by the Vermont autnorities. There have been persistent reports that Jerome planned to seize Thaw forcibly and then dash across Ver mont and New Hampshire with Thaw a prisoner in an automobile. The biggest crowd in the history of Coaticook gathered here. Many vis itors deserted the provincial fair in Sherbrooke and came here. As a public attraction Thaw had the Sher brooke fair beat all hollow. It was here that Thaw was first lodged in jail after being arrested by Consta ble John Boudreau before being taken to St. Francis jail in Sherbrooke. Alienists Begin to Gather, Dr. Beauchamp and Dr. Gurd, who examined Thaw in St. Francis, arriv ed here to-day. This led to the belief that the immigration authorities had rescinded their ruling that aliin'sts representing Thaw wmuld not be al lowed to testify before the board. Dr. Raymond Keib, superintendent ot the Matteawan Lunatic Asylum, cane to testify that Thaw is insane arm nas been for at least five years.

Slaton, of the Atlanta public schools, Thursday. “As a protection against smallpox it Is an absolute necessity, and should there be laxity In enforcing the rule an epi demic might result. “Children are admitted to the schools on the issuance by a physi cian of a certificate that the child has been vaccinated ^successfully. They also are admitted when a physician certifies that he has vaccinated the child three times within twelve months without success. "When two physicians certify that it would endanger the life of a child to vaccinate him, and also when it is shown that a child already has had smallpox, a certificate is issued to them by me. •There is one thing I wish the pub lic and the physicians to understand thoroughly. It Is that a physician should not issue a certificate that a child has been successfully vacci nated by him until after the vaccina tion has taken. There have been in stances where children have been vac cinated and the physician has issued them a certificate before it is known whether the treatment has been suc cessful.” Superintendent Slaton and his offle® force are exceptionally busy this week issuing school certificates.

EAGER 10 EINISR Finn Clan. Goaded by Two Stinpi ing Defeats, Threaten Des perate Battle To-day. Weather Forecaster Von Here* mann thinks the rain will hold off long enough for the Crackers to defeat the Gulls tgain this aft ernoon, though showers are ex pected during the evening. By 0. B. KEELER. It is now entirely up to Joe Con* zelman and Jupe Pluvlus. If Jo«^| big drop is w-orklng and Jupe’s is not, we will call it a day’s work, allsquar^ with the Gulls, and set the stage Waterloo to-morrow. Whose Waterloo, of course, is speculative topic. But in the meantime there is d®« ploying betwixt our brave lads airdl the supreme moment one Billy Ca-mP* bell and a collection of savage Scarv* divanlans, furious Finns, or plain* scrappy Mobile ball players, according to taste in alliteration and sociology^ To-day’s game will be for blood. Further than that this affiant de* poseth not and is not tempted tg depose. Serious for Gulls Now. It Is useless to bear down on thg Importance of this game. For th* Crackers It means just as much as th$ game Tuesday and the game Wed* nesday—which is everything. To th« Finns, while they may lose this gams! and still win the pennant, the contest is almost as critical. For if the Crackers continue thehl smashing plunge to a drawn battle* the final game will find them wir^j the reek of gore In their nostrils anil the glare of battle In their eyes. An<# Just as surely the Gulls will feel th^f cold nudge of the wall at their backsy If the Crackers can win to-day, tliA Gulls will be on the run. They hav^j lost their last five games in a row*: and no team, however hardy, can taka that kind of steady beating without flinching. It isn’t in human stamina* The Crackers have won while th^ Gulls have lost; won by desperate bal| playing; won by fighting when bal4 playing would not serve the turn. Inch by inch, Bill Smith and his mer^ have fought up out of the last ditch. If they can win to-day the Gulls must change places. In the last game it will be Mobile on the defensive—and on the run. Campbell Is Primed. Billy Campbell has a wise old noo* die, a fork-hand delivery, and the fin* est iittle balk motion in this league. He is primed to beat the Cracker?, iff he can. The Mobile support yestera day was brilliant; the Crackers’ wa| ragged. To-day there may be » change. Both the previous games have been close. There Is a big chance that on® or the other team will crack to-day, and a big score—a lop-sided victory—* will result. And if we win to-day—well, there's a movement afoot among the Atlanta merchants and business houses to close up shop to-morrow afternoon, und everybody go to the final game of the series and lift it over to the right side by sheer dint of deep-chested rooting. Did you ever notice how the Allans ta merchants and business men al ways are there with the rally in tho pinch? The line-up: Atlanta. Mobile. Agler, lb Stock. »s. Long, If Starr, 2b.
