2 TTTE ATT A XT A GEORGIAN A XT) NEWS SECRET INQUEST SHERIFF, B'GOSH. GABY DESLYS A FAIR SPECTER AT WEDDING OF EX-KING MANUEL Coroner Defies Rail Brotherhood's Demand for Open Inquiry. Federal Quiz Starts Friday. NTZJW HAVKN, Sept. 4.—In hia private office, Coroner Eli Mix offi cially bsgan his inquest to-day into the latest wreck in the deadly senes on the New Haven road which al ready has caused the death of 21 per sons and is likely to take the lives of four more of the 60 injured. The Inquiry really was begun on the day of the wreck, when, in com pany with railroad officials and Chief Engineer C. C. Elwell, of the Public Utilities Commission of Connecticut, in the office building of the New Haven Railroad, he took the test'- mony of some railroad men concerned in the wreck. This testimony, all taken by railroad stenographers and transcribed on railroad typewriters, is now in the hands of the Coroner and the New Haven road, and because Coroner Mix refuses to make it public, the railroad also refuses. Wreck History To Bo Bared. The public hearing set for Friday morning in this city under the aus pices of the Interstate Commerce Commission will develop all the tes timony gone over by the Coroner and will prove the most exhaustive inquiry into the manner of operating the New Haven road that has been held since the big monopoly began to make wreck history two years ago. Just before Coroner Mix began ills inquest to-day members of the Broth erhood of .Locomotive Engineers en gaged a lawyer and announced they will ask for an injunction restrain ing Mix from resorting to star cham ber methods. Mix defied them. Attorney E. E. Perry, representing A. B. Miller, engineer of the White Mountain Express, declares the* Brotherhood believes an attempt Is being made to use Miller as a scape goat. Questions Coroner’s Actions. “It seems peculiar Mix should de tain Miller and Flagman Murray without bond and permit certain of ficials who were told distinctly to re move those banjo signals to remain free,” he asserts. Engineer Miller, of the White Mountain Express, held without hail and incommunicado, had the right-of- way over the tracks where he was running just before the wreck, ac cording t<» one who was present at the star chamber session. The Bur Har bor Express, he asserts, ran .by North Haven and tripped the signal which gave Miller the right of way over the three-mile tangent aheud. The engineer of the later train Is said to have admitted this. Tho investigation will hinge, ac cording to one prominent railroad man, on the testimony of Flagman Murray, of the Bar Harbor Express, who will be asked to explain why, during the six minutes he is said have had, he did not run back the re quired 1,800 f»*et and set the torpe does that would have stopped the on- rushing White Mountain Express. U. S. Is Powerless to Force Open Inquest. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 —The In terstate Commerce Commission an nounced to-day that there was no way in which it could compel Coroner Mix to abandon his plan of secret hearings on the New Haven wreck st Wallingford, Conn. The commission can, however, compel the attendance of a representative of the commission and haa instructed Chief Inspector Belnap to be present at the star ehamber session*. The records of the commismon show that the New York, New Haven and Hartford has 164 miles of track °qulppert with disk or clockwork sig nals which are much inferior to the modern semaphore. FEET Collier Brothers Have Thrilling Experience With “Officers of the Law” in Carolina. Itawson and Charles Collier, the well-known young contract agents of the Georgia Railway and Power Company, are back in Atlanta from a canoe trip down the French Broad River, in Western North Carolina, telling of some thrilling adventures and one, unaccented, that was some what depressing. Full of youthful glee, last week they boarded the Southern train for Ross- nan, N. C., with a canoe they had sculled many a mile over the wa ters of East Lake, a balloon tent and all things else necessary for a 125- mlle Journey down the river to Ashe ville. Experienced oarsmen are these young men, and wonderful thrills they had. Down the narrow river, crystal clear, they .sped between the towering mountains. Time and again they paused to marvei at the wonder of the scenery, covered as It was with all the luxuriant growth of late sum mer. There was something more than the breath of autumn in the atmos phere. It seemed to give new life with each deep breath, they said, and they wondered why people were so foolish as to live down in the plains of Georgia Snakes for Bedfellows. That was before they landed on the first night. The snakes they encoun tered In the bushes on the banks were a little disconcerting, but they quickly overcame them and pitched their tent over corn furrows. There, In cradles of mother earth, they slept while the winds moaned through the hills. They had two days and two nights of such ecstasy. On the third day they sighted a second traveler. He appeared In undue haste, but two can travel much faster than one In a ca noe, especially when rapids have to be shot. Ho they overtook him. The man whs reluctant to answer questions. A little suspicious of him, they finally accepted him as an ordi nary mountaineer, and the two boats passed on down the stream together. As they came to the bridge at Ashe ville they found their suspicions were well grounded. A great crowd of people hailed them from the bridge and a huge man or dered them to stop. The Colliers obeyed. The huge man was no less n personage than the county Sheriff and the crowd a retinue of deputies sufficient to start a revolution In Mex ico. It gradually dawned on Rawson and Charles Collier that they were arrested. "8aved in the Nick of Time.” There was much arguing and ex plaining. but the mountaineer Sheriff insisted on taking them to Jail. The charge against them, they gathered, "tim that they had robbed an apple orchard up the river and fought an old woman who tried to drive them a way. That was the story of a moun taineer who was insisting that the Sheriff arrest them. It seemed that all their pleading was in vain, when their strange trav eling companion spoke up: “I’m the man you want,” he said. “These men know nothing about this matter. I had a companion, but he made for a railroad station and is on his way to Atlanta by this time. “All we did was to pick up a few' apples as we passed along the road.*’ The stranger refused to give his name or the namo of his companion from Atlanta, and was carted off to Jail. Senate War to Delay Currency Bill Opens WASHINGTON, Sept. 4—Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, a member of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee, to-day gave notice to the committee that he wil 1 introduce »n the Senate a resolution directing the committee to bring in a banking and currency bill December 2, making currency legislation the unfinished business of this session. It is anticipated that the resolution will bring to a head the fight between Senate factions over President Wil son’s demand that currency legisla tion be enacted at tills session.

Mayor Woodward Thursday laughed over the conference of city arid county officials to devise some means of getting Peachtree Creek cleaned. He said it was 99.44 per cent pure “wind-jamming.” “It is up to the city to go ahead and clean out that creek to protect the new sewage disposal plant,” he said. At the meeting of the Board of County Commissioners Wednesday this matter of clearing Peachtree Creek of debris to keep the disposal plant from overflowing in times of heavy rain was brought up. Commissioner Clifford L. Anderson declared it was not the sort of work for men in chains. He said that with in the last few years the county had done four-fifths of the permanent paving in the city and that it was up to the city to do some work itself. The other commissioners agreed with Mr. Anderson, and it was finally decided that it was up to the city government to have Peachtree Creek cleaned. Mayor Woodward. Chief of Con struction R. M. Clayton and F. A. Quillian, chairman of the Bond Com mission, have planned an early con ference to see what can be done. Mayor Woodward declared that the same energy put into the numerous conferences, if put into work, would have cleaned the creek long ago. OBITUARY.

Portugal’s Deposed Monarch Marries Princess Augustine Victoria, Daughter of Prince William of Hohenzollern. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. BERLIN. Sept. 4.—Manuel II. de posed King of Portugal, and Princess Augustine Victoria were married to day. Amid all the pomp and grandeur of nuptial rites was a distinct feeling of uneasiness shown specially in the careful arrangements made to prevent the appearance at the wedding of un desirable and unbidden guests. The feeling was prompted by feaf of “another woman.” And that “othel woman” was no less a personage than Gaby I>eslys, who won Manuel’s heart when he was a real king, helped t.o have him thrown into the royal discard and then laughed at him. Gaby was in Europe, although it was not known where. And some there are close to the former Portuguese ruler who feared she would try to see him at the last moment, and—well make things unpleasant. Wedding at Ancient Castie. The marriage of Manuel and f.ie daughter of Prince William of Ho- henzollern took place at Singmarin- gen, a Hohenzollern castle whlcn dates from the beginning of the Christian era. There was a brilliant gathering of princes and princesses. Among them were the Prince of Wales, represent ing King George of England; Prince Eitel Frederick, representing Em peror William of Germany; Prince and Princes* Henry XXXII of Reuss; Princess Friedrich of Hohenzollern; Prince Carol and Princess Elizabeth. Also among the seventy-five guests were the Duke of Montpenster. who declined to be King of Albania; Queen Mother Amelia of Portugal; the Infante and Infanta Carlos of Spain, representing King Alfonso; the Duke and Duchess of Coburg, the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden; the Duke of Oporto, of Portu gal, uncle of ex-King Manuel; the Duke and Duchess D’Aosta of Italy. representing King Victor Emmanuel; Prince William of Hohenzollern, fa ther of the bride, and Count August Eulenburg, grand marshal to the reigning Hohenzollern family in Ger many. Young People’s Affair. Eighty royal princes and princess j3 were among the guests. It was strictly “ a young people’s affair.” The reason for this is apparent. Manuel, while recognized by courtesy as a king by rulers Europe, is not viewed as a real sovereign, and, therefore, they sent their chil dren to the wedding, just at grown ups send their children to see a chil dren’s play. Nevertheless the marriage was an imposing one. It was celebrated in {he castle chapel, and was in ac cordance with the rites of the Ro man Catholic Church. Cardinal Netto, once archbishop, patriarch of Lisbon, conducted the religious part of the service. Before that there was the civil ceremony, at which Count Au gust Eulenburg, Earl Marshal to the Hohenzollern family, officiated. Four Royal Bridesmaids. In the church ceremony the’ bride was given away by her father. Four royal princesses acted as bridesmaids. Enormous crowds of townspeople and strangers began gathering around the castle early in the day. Prince William had great tables set along the roadway filled with good things to eat and drink, and^ all were invited to help themselves. Many tourists who happened to be in the neighborhood drove into the picturesque little vil lage, hoping to get a peep at some ot the distinguished giu-ts, and maybe at Manuel himself. The wedding gifts cost a fortune. The royalists of Portugal collected $20,000 and sent some handsome plate; the bridegroom presented his bride with a ctfstly string of pearls; King George and Queen Mary of Eng land sent a silver dinner service, and Queen Mother Alexandria of England sent a gold wine service.

COMO, ITALY, Sept. 4.—Interroga tion of Porter Charlton by Exam ining Judge Rognoni and Signor Mel- lini was completed to-day. Charlton whs confronted with the trunk in which he hid his wife's body in Lake Como. He gazed at it intently for a few moments, looking at the brown bloodstains, but did not flinch. The young prisoner was questioned about his wife. He said she was 40 years old when he fall in love with her in February, 1910. She had be^n previously married, but was divorced when she was 37 years old. She had been an actress and had once tried to shoot a man in a New York hotel for deserting her after they had become friendly. The date of the trial will be fixed next week. Captain H. H. Scott, U. S. A„ a brother of the slain bride, bas re tained a prominent Milanese lawyer to represent his family. This lawyer has in his possession a number of let ters written by Charlton just after hjs marriage, which will be used to combat any claim that the young prisoner is or then was mentally de fective. Crowds of tourists daily visit the grave of Mrs. Charlton In the little cemetery at Moltrasco. Others visit the cottage in which the murder took place. Native folk in the neighbor hood say that no one will live in the cottage, because at times the screams and pleading voice of a woman can be distinctly heard. For this reason the building has been allowed to fall into semi-decay. ESCAPE STRIPES IE GOOII New Rules Provide Three Be havior Grades—Lowest Only to Wear Present Garb.
