Borden Heiress to Pick Own College Will Solve Question That Parted Parents by Going to Vassar or Wellesley. NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Mias Ra mona Borden, 18-year-old daughter of Gail Borden, the multi-millionaire condensed milk manufacturer whose disappearance from a sanitarium In Ponponton Lake, N. J., In April caused a nation-wide search to be made for her by her , father, plans to enter either Wellesley or Vaosar this fall. The failure of her parents to agree on a school for her is said to have led to their agreement to live apart. Now the girl has solved the problem her- 6e 1 f Because she has been the brunt of this family strife.

Grand' jurors of Fulton County will this week in all probability begin their investigation of the death of the late Josua B, Crawford, wealthy Atlantan, whose widow has been charged with poisoning him In order to get hi* riches barely a month qM- er their marriage in 1909. In the meantime, Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford, the widow, is at her Peach tree street home, serenely confident that if the Grand Jury should indict her she would be promptly acquitted by a trial jury. She declares the bringing of the charge of poisoning against her was done merely as a new move of the heirs of the aged real estate operator, who are fighting for the $250,000 fortune that was left to her. Poison Presence Admitted. The report of Dr. H. F. Harris that traces of morphine poisoning were found in the stomach of the deceas ed is not denied by Mrs. Crawford or her counsel. They simply contend that this drug was prescribed for Crawford during his last illness, and declare that the attending physician will take the stand and testify that he administered the opiate to relieve the aged man’s pain. The Crawford heirs, however, take an entirely different view of the mat ter. They charge a deep-laid con spiracy on the part of Mrs. Craw ford and Fred Lumb, a barber now in New York, and who is sought by the heirs as an accomplice. Their contention is that when J. B Crawford, then In his seventies, went to St. Augustine, Fla., In 1909 in search of health and took board with Mary Belle Bishop, the woman then and there planned to wed the old man and as soon as she could make him will her his property, poison him, and then wed Lumb. The contesting heirs are nieces and nephews of the man for whose wealth they are fighting, and though the will contest has been on practically since the death of Crawford, it was not until a few months ago that the poison charge was made and the body was exhumed for examination of the stomach. Sheriff Issues Warrant. A Coroner’s Jury at Carrollton, the old home of the Crawfords, returned a verdict declaring that the deceased had come to his death from poison administered by his wife. It was then that the Sheriff of Carroll County mailed a warrant to the Sheriff of Fulton for the arrest. When officers went to serve it, Mrs. Crawford was not at her Atlanta home, but she afterward surrendered to the Sheriff here and promptly rur- j nished the $6,000 bond required. In addition to the poison charge the nieces and nephews have alleged that undue influence was exercised by Mrs. Crawford to have herself made the chief beneficiary in the will and witnesses have been introduced at the will hearing to prove that at the time he # uttered the instrument, Crawford was not only mentally un balanced through senility, but was constantly under the influence of alcohol. Fascinating Artist Has No Hope That Ornament Will Be Gen erally Accepted Fad. Mademoiselle Polaire, being by com mon consent the ugliest theatrical star alive and the most fascinating withal, has an absolute right to wear what she pleases. It is only when a woman has an open pride in her lack of pulchritude that she has achieved a sort of free-will condition as re gards clothes and ornaments. And because she is an Independent in matters of raiment the fascinat ing Polaire is going to show Atlanta something that will open the eyes of every man and woman within its limits—she is coming to Atlanta, you know, with Gertrude Hoffman and Lady Constance Ttewart-Richardson, the dancers. Her particular Innovation is a nose ring—a daring, unprecedented nose ring, suggestive of nothing so much as a Fiji Islander. But then the tur key trot is hardly suggestive of the art of terpslchore, so it is not an un believable thing that Mademoiselle Polalre’s nose ring will become—but no, American girls mean no harm by any of their fads, and even their crit- tic« vow that they have common sense enough and to spare. There will be no nose ring fad, however much the fascinating Po laire flaunts her badge of eccentric ity before their faces. Polaire, It is announced, never dreams that her own freak fashion will become the vogue. Perhaps that Is why she adopted it. At least, she will have something to herself. But Atlanta will have an opportu nity of Judging, and perhaps if it likes can place an order*for early winter delivery. St. Paul’s Church to Have Home-Coming Incident to Big Revival Services Under Rev. L. B. Bridges, Noted Evangelist. St. Paul’s Methodist Church of At lanta will hold a home-coming Sep tember 21 as an incident to the big revival . services under the Rev. L. B. Bridges, the noted evangelist.

Sept. 13.—The Mayor# of cities In more than half of the State# of the Union have come out for Government aid In the protection 3f the Mississippi Valley States from floods. This sweeping Indorsement of the Ransxiell-Humphreys bill, which provides $60,000,01)0 for levees and comes up at the December session of Congress, Is one of the interesting exhibits of the work the Mississippi River Levee Association is doing in the Interest of Government levees for 'he lower Mississippi River. Out of the replies already received not one chief executive has expressed the slightest disapproval of the prop osition. The Mayors of cities In the far Western States, in New England, In the Middle West, In the great northern section and from every Southern State have come out unani mously for the project. Each letter shows an unusual familiarity witn the subject. The people of Califor nia. Massachusetts and Montana seem to have been studying the flood proposition with as much interest as tiie residents of the States imme diately affected by floods. One of the most interesting letters Is one from the chief, executive of Galllpolis, Ohio, a city which almost was .‘lacriflced to the Ohio floods of 1913. Mayor Cadot, of that city, say# In part: "While our own valley suffers greatly from floods. I believe the greater damage Jr done in the Mis sissippi Valley, and 1 earnestly hope you will succeed In securing the re quired appropriation from the Gov ernment, and be able to begin active operations at the earliest possible moment. "In my opinion, the levee plan is the best remedy for overflow that has yet been proposed.” The Mayor of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., writes In part: "I am heartily In favor of your w’ork and believe that it is fair and just that the National Government should take up the burden and give you whatever aid is needed.” The Mayor of Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "I heartily concur in the views ex pressed in your communication re garding the spring floods of the lower Mississippi. I believe the Govern ment should lend everv aid possible to protect the people of this vast ter ritory and that steps in this direction should be taken at the earliest possi ble moment.” These are only a few' of the nu merous letters that have been receiv ed. They illustrate,.however, the sen timent toward the levee proposition and the widesperad into st in the matter of floods. SCHOOLBOYS’ CRAPS GAMES ARE UNDER BAN The shooting of craps under th* Estorla street bridge was halted Sat urday night by the police, who began an investigation following a repot i that schoolboys w'ere drinking and gambling there. Commerce was selected at the next meeting place of the Georgia Weekly j Press Association at a meeting of the executive committee of the organiza tion In the office of H. M. Stanley at the State Capitol Saturday. Th? claims of Covington were also pre sented to the committee by a delega tion from that town. The committee waited until 2:30 o’clock for the dele gation from Madison, which was also after the 1914 meeting, but it failed to appear. The next gathering of the editors will b«* held July 14 and 15. The fol lowing officers were present at the meeting: P. T. McCutcheon, of Frank lin. president; C. E. Benns, of But ler. secretary; B. H. Hardy, Barnes- ville; J. F. Shannon,. Commerce; H. M. Stanley, and Rush V. Burton, La- vonia. The winning delegation from Commerce was headed by J. F. Shan non. of The Commerce News, and Paul T. Harber, of The Commerce Observer. New Cotton Resists Black Root Disease State Entomologists Will Have 4,000 Bushels of Its Seed Ready by Spring. Reports received by the Depart ment of Entomology at the State Capitol from Southwest Georgia are to the effect that the black root is causing a great deal of damage. This cot*on disease is costing the Georgia cotton planters hundreds of thousands of dollais a year, and every effort is being made to cheek its ravages. The Department of Entomology has developed a variety of cotton seed which is resistant to the black root and reports from, the planters who use this variety are to the effect that It is not suffering from the blight. The department will have 4,000 bush els of this seed next spring for dis tribution. Alkahest President Goes to Convention S.

Bank Wrecker and Bigamist Is Turned Over to Mississoppi Au thorities by State of Georgia. ALBANY, Sept. 13.—After five days spent in hearing the habeas corpus case of L. C. Harding, alias A. D. Oliver, the Climax bank wrecker {Judge Clayton Jones at 4:55 o’clock this afternoon turned the prisoner over to the officers from the State of Mississippi, who had a requisition properly signed by the Governor of that State. Harding, undes the alias of Oliver went to Climax, Ga., in December. 1908, claiming to be looking for a large tract of timber land to pur chase While there he was attracted by the opportunities that presented themselves. In a remarkably shore time he had established himself from a financial standpoint. He carried on his dealings in true Wallingford style until a bank that he secured control of failed. When the bank was on the verge of bankruptcy, he claims to have started to New York td make more financial deals, but was ar rested. After much litigation, he was helo on the chrage of bigamy, he having married in Climax while he had a liv ing wife in another State. He was sentenced for a term of years, w'hicl ended only five days ago. When about, to be released, the United States Gov ernment applied for the prisoner, as did the State of Mississippi. Afte’ - consultation, the United States offi cers withdrew their request and the officers of Mississippi pressed the! application. Oliver claimed that he was not th« man that had escaped from Jail in Mississippi, but a twin brother that resembled him very much. Pictures were procured from the State peni tentiary of Ohio, where Oliver als- has l^en confined, and Bertillion measurements were sent. While there was some slight variation in the measurements, the general stature was the same and the marks on the body were sufficient to convince the Judge that he was the man wanted. Oliver had worked up one of the best stories that has ever been heart- in a Georgia courtroom, and no doub would have caused a jury of twelve- men to have stayed locked up for *a long time, as he had gained the sym pathy of at least two-thirds of his hearers. As toon as Judge Jones ruled that he was the man wanted in Mlsslssip pi, the papers were signed promptly and within five minutes he was ,n an automobile, handcuffed to a deputy sheriff from Aberdeen, Miss., being taken from the State.
