Open Near Terminal
With shifts of four men working
continually, the heavy outgoing and
incoming parcels post mail ip being
handled with greater ease at the new
railway terminal branch office opened

The work was in full sway Friday.
This new office relieves the post-
office of its crowded condition. The

Bird Champion Will
Tell of Weevil Fight
.James Henry Rice, Jr., field agent of
the National Association of Audubon
Societies, will lecture at the Carnegie
Library Friday night on "Georgia's
Crisis—The Coming of the Boll Weevil."
This will be the second lecture that Mr.
Rice lias delivered in Atlanta, ami a
large crowd is expected to hear him.
Mr. Rice will urge that the game and
birds of Georgia be protected by ade
quate laws, and has several times voiced
the opinion that when this protection
was given the birds a great step will
have been taken toward preventing the
boll weevil from obtaining a foothoUl in
the State.
CHICAGO, Dec. 5.—/ difficult le
gal problem was brought before the
authorities of the State of Illinois and
Cook County to-day in the case of
Joshua Tedford, who seven years ago
was sentenced to the penitentiary for
front one to five years. Tedtord did
not serve his sentence because a
Criminal Court cierk placed a copy
of the mandate of the State Supreme
Court In a pigeonhole of his desk
where it has remained until to-day.
Meanwhile Joshua Tedford has
made good. He quit his job as a po
liceman, after being convicted of ail
ing in the disappearance of Mabel
Lewis, a State’s witness in the case
against a man charged with burg
lary. He went to work in a large
clothing store, and to-day he is su
perintendent of the place.
A young lawyer whose client was
convicted and sentenced, was respon
sible for bringing the Tedford ease
to the notice of Chief Justice Olson,
of the Municipal Court. He remarked
in a speech to the court that his
client had no "pull” lijke the one Josh
Tedford had when he was sentenced
to prison seven years ago.
• The court ordered an investigation
and the pigeonholed Supreme Court
decision upholding the sentence of the
lower court was found.
An effort was started to-day to get
Governor Dunne to issue a pardon lor
Tedford.

NECESSITY — Vacuum
cleaning is a necessity to
modern good housekeeping.
If it is not a sin, it is at
least foolish to stir up the
dangerous dust to be
breathed into the lungs,
and to settle on furniture
and furnishings, and finally
back into the woven floor
coverings. “Dust to dust re-
turneth” is not applicable to
good housekeeping.

Monkey Given Poison
And Gas; Won’t Die
ST. LOUIS. MO., Dec. 5. A jealous
monkey came so near disrupting the
family of Lee Reed, of the Lafayette

kill it. The little beast withstood four
hours of gas inhaled in a tight room,
several applications of chlofoform and a
dose of strychnine. When he lived to
chatter about it Mrs. Reed gave him
to the Zoo. The monkey was jealous of
a parrot.
