I thought I had% job. but found that 1 w as mistaken. “Finally, through my good friend Henry Durand, who is seated behin*' me. I was employed, as I thought, for about two weeks; but, as it tunio 1 out, for two years. I>ater I seeur* d a plate on the Atlanta police force through my friend James L. Beavers, who also sits on the rostrum with me." In closing, Dr. McConnell pledged himself to give his very best efforts to the upbuilding of the uhurrh and the kingdom.

H., Sept. 15.—Seated in a charming grove of pines, Presi dent Wilson was a deeply interested spectator at the pastoral masque "Snntuary," in which his youngest daughter, Eleanor, played the leading part. The playette, by Percy Mac- kaye, the poet, waft a protest against the slaughter of birds for millinery purposes. The President was a guest of Miss Eleanor and her sister Margaret. A lyrical prelude to the rn**que was sung by Miss Margaret. But upon the younger sister devolved dramatic necessities which indicated ^he is possessed of rare stage talent. With soft, appealing tones Miss Wilson, as Ornis, the bird spirit, pleaded with the hunter to fomike his ritle. The sharp crack of a gun, followed by a midden fall of Ornis, marked the climax of the piece. Wounded and sobbing, Ornis is con soled by the fauns, poet, dryad and naturalist, who in the end convert the hunter a birdlover. The President’s daughter spoke her lines with careful'expression, and was enthusiastically applauded. Wylie Smith, Alleged Forger, Out on Bond J.

Doesn’t Think Attack on His Kiss ing Attitude Calls for Much of an Answer. Declaring that he saw' but little which was worth replying to in the attack upon him by the Rev. Lincoln McConnell at the Baptist Tabernacle Sunday night, Mayor Woodward de clined to discuss the charges Mon day morning. He will write McCon nell a personal letter, however, and his words contained the Intimation that this letter probably will be cool but very clear. “I will write Mr. McConnell a per sonal letter, then possibly he will know more of what he is talking about,” said the Mayor. "I may also make a. statement for the papers later In the day, but right now I see but little worth replying to. "The only criticism I had to make of the police methods In connection with the spooning cases was in the instance where a ecouple had been kept at the police station all night and then the case against them dismissed by Recorder Broyles. If Broyles turned them loose, then cer tainly they must have been as In nocent as babes, for he Is not in the habit of releasing people who are guilty of even the slightest wrong doing. “I also remarked In regard to the case of where a young man claimed that he had been unjustly fined in a spooning case, that I thought money derived from this case by the city was dirty money and should be re turned to the young man I made this remark to Mr. Colcord. “I do not thing Mr. McConnell’s at tack can be highly regarded in view of the public knowledge of the way the police have acted in ,these spoon ing cases.” McConnell expressed the oplr* that the Mayor must be a fool to make the remarks accredited to him by the newspapers on the spooning arrests by the police department. "I was utterly astounded when I read of the Mayor criticising the po lice department for the spooning ar rests. said McConnell. “Either he is very foolish or incompetent and too Ignorant to properly take care of the office held by him. “I want to put myself on record as favoring the vigorous prosecution of all such offenders as the couple which caused all the furore. Take It home to yourselves and oee if you would like for your daughter to be caught in a compromising position with a man in a public place. "The winds of dissension and crime In Atlanta are being rapidly sown. Unless an immediate stop is put to the vilifying of the police this city will most surely reap one great whirl wind of vice and crime.” Women Pick Hobson For Heflin Debate WASHINGTON.
