Electric Light Button Removed by
Careful Thief, but He
Gets No Loot.
Calvin C. Barber, asleep in hia room
on the second floor of the hous* at
No. 106 West Harris street, was
hwakened at 5 o'clock Saturday morn
ing by a sound not usually h< ard in
tbe still matches of the night, or even
early tn the morning.
Barber heard the gentle (linking of
money, and, almost intuitively, he
recognized it a a his money, in his
trousers’ pocket. Tl\e trouser* seemed
to be shaken gently in the darkness
'•Who’s there?" Barber inquired
briskly, not being afraid of table-tip
ping or pants-flapping spirit* At the
aame time he shook G. L Hamrick,
ri I so occupying the room and bed.
The only reply to Barber's cnal
lenge was a more decided flop arc
i link as trie trousers hit the floor
Then camp the soft pad-padding

Electric Buttons Removed.
Barber and Hamrick, now wide
iwake, jumped out of bed and tum
bled over each other as they sought
he electric light key.
They found the socket all right, but
iie button haa been twisted off.
^tumbling out into the hall, they
’mind that switch also hors du com-
»:tt, while down the steps went the
jit-a-pat of the shoeless feet.
Hamrick finally found a button that
•ontrolled a light, and about the same
ime Barber collected a shotgun, and
i e two started after the burglar. The
r«»nt door wag open, but by the time
hey reached the street the intruder
iad* vanished and there was not even
he satisfaction of letting the shotgun

Nothing Missing.
Call Officer Gorman responded to a

CONSUMPTION
It would appear that the Ogle
thorpe workers set too light an esti
mate on their powers and the results
they would get when they announced
earlier li. the week that the subscrip
tion committees would raise $50,000
by noon Saturday.
By noon Friday the total was $48.-
248, and the luncheon at noon Sat
urday was expected to mark a total
of $00,000, so rapidly were the sub
scriptions being gathered by the
workers
In addition to the regular "run of
the day” contributions, there w r ere
hints that something of much impor
tance it was understood to be in the
way Of subscriptions might he an
nounced at the Saturday meeting
Captain J. W. English himself had
mentioned the matter, guardedly, at
the luncheon the previous day. So it
was with an air of expectancy' that
the members of the various commit
tees set about their work Saturday
morning.
Henry Schaul's Record.
Thus far Henry Schaul has been
the prize member of the board of
chairmen. He has accumulated « list
of more than 100 names, for a total
ol $5,264. Friday Mr. Schaul's re
port of 67 names for $1,677 was
greeted with warm applause from the
other members at the luncheon.
There were a number of humorous
incidents at the luncheon. One mem
ber reported that the best he could do
with on« of his subscribers was to
collect 25 Rhode Island Reds, which
chickens he expected to "cash in” at
$1 a head at the earliest opportu
nity This plan was opposed by
Charles P. Glover, who begged to
suggest that the chickens he not
"cashed In." but brought to the Pied
mont Hotel and there served on the
table at which the workers were as
sembled.
Greek Offer* Donation.
O T. Camp, of A W. Farlinger’s
committee, told of a Greek fruit
stand proprietor who, on hearing him
talking with a friend about the Ogle
thorpe fund, asked that his name be
put dow n for $15.
"George Beoles is his name,” Mr.
i’amp said, ‘ and he showed a great
deal of interest In the project. 1 be
lieve the Greeks of Atlanta are going
to help a lot in this work."
It was the prediction of Ivan E. Al
lan, chairman, that the $60,000 mark
would be reached Saturday.
You haven’t even scratched the
surface y'et." Mr. Allen asserted.
’There are thousands upon thousands
of Atlantans who haven't had the
chance to give to the fund—and they
will all give something ''
Refounding of School
To Remove “Stigma.”
Atlanta’s campaign Just now to
raise $250,000 toward founding <>gle-
thorpe University Is attracting the
attention of the entire country.
Those in other parts of the South
who have contributed generously are
watching the outcome of the cuAvass
here with the keenest Interest. ’
"Can Atlanta do it?" they are ask
ing.
Just wach Atlanta’s reply to that
inquiry. This city has done many
splendid things, and while this is a
great undertaking, Atlanta will again
prove her timber to the world.
Buclan Lamar Knight, State His
torian of Georgia, and one of the
South’s brilliant literary men. sub
scribed $1,000 to the enterprise, and
he lias full faith of ultimate and
complete success. He writes:
"To the movement for refounding
Oglethorpe University, there will be
a prompt and a hearty response from
every* patriotic citizen of Georgia.
"I am anxious for two reasons to
see this institution revived In the
first place, it will be a fitting me
morial to the great man who founded
this State. The handsome monu
ments at Savannah and Brunswick
are superb tributes to Oglethorpe, but
they do not embody the altruistic
•spirit in which the colony of Geor
gia originated. This, through the me
dium of a great university, will be
given expression. In the second place,
for the loss of this college to the edu
cational world, there rests a stigma
upon the State of Georgia which
needs to be erased.
Big University All
City Needs-Allen
Ivan 10. Allen, chairman of the
general campaign committee, says
of the movement for Oglethorpe
University
“The one thing Atlanta lacks is
a hig university.
“Are you interested in Atlanta's
educational progress? Are you
anxious to see our educaWonal su
premacy secured and maintained?
"This is the time and the place.
Probably no other city has prof
ited as much as Atlanta through
enterprises founded by big con
tribution campaigns. Nearly every
really big thing Atlanta has ever
built has been done this way, with
the same boosters and the same
knockers—one as necessary as the
other.

don't you send it in?"

Federals, Reported Fleeing to U
S. Border, Believed on Way
to Recapture Juarez.
EL PASO, TEXAS, Dec. 6.—"The
Federals are coming!”
This C|jy was raised in Juarez to
day when word was received that
General Villa was returning to the
Mexican city at the head of troops
with which he set out to occupy Chi
huahua. Activity at the Constitu
tionalist headquarters gave rise to
the belief that a battle was expected
and that the Federal troops who are
reported marching from Chihuahua
to OJinaga with a great band of refu
gees had deflected their course and
were coming to recapture Juarez.
The rumors were received with
< i edenca on thl * ol the Rio
Grande, as was evidenced by ac
tion taken by the United States mili
tary authorities.
The headquarters of the Second
Cavalry Brigade was moved here
from Fort Bliss to-day, so tt*at Gen
eral Scott, the brigade commander,
and Major Robert E. Michle, brigade
adjutant, can keep in closer touch
with affairs on the border.
Troops were shifted, and now prac
tically all the soldiers in this vicinity
are camped within the city limits of
El Paso, within easy distance of the
international bridge spanning the Rio
Grande in Juarez.
A battalion of the Twelfth Cavalry,
which has been stationed at the Ship
Rock Indian agency to quell any out
break among the Navajo Indians, has
been ordered to El Paso, and probably
will arrive to-morrow
Rebels Repeat Attack
On Fleeting Caravan.
PRESIDIO, TUNAS, Dec 6 By
United States Army Telephone to
Marfa, Texas.—Detachments of Con
stitutionalists, hanging upon the
flanks of thf* retreating army of Fed
eral soldiers and civilians which is
fleeing to the United States border,
have made three attacks upon the
troops defending the caravan.
The second and sharpest attack was
made last night. Men and women
among the pilgrims armed themselves
and joined the soldiers who were
holding hack the rebel horde.
On account of the footsore, ex
hausted condition of the women and
children, the main body of the fugi
tives will not reach Ojinaga until
Monday.
Womout members of the caravan
fear to fall behind the main body lest
they be killed by bandits or wild
animals, consequently the column is
moving at a snail's pace to enable all
to keep up.
Reports of mounted scouts indicate
that there are nearly 6,000 persons In
the stream of refugees.
A bullion pack train of more than
250 mules, bearing $400,000 worth of
silver, is on its way to Presidio fro.n
Parral.
The train Is .protected by special
guards of cowboys, recruited from the
ranches in Northern Mexico.
Mexicans Flock Over
Border at Laredo.
LAREDO, TEXAS, Dec. 6—Scores
of Mexicans, including the postmas
ter and several municipal officials,
fled from Nuevo Baredo, across the
border, into the city to-day in antici
pation of an attack by rebels who are
marching on the town. If the Fed
eral soldiers resist the attack, the
lives of Americans here will be en
dangered. The United States caval
ry here are preparing to guard the
border as soon as the rebels appear.
Minute Naps to Cost
Policeman Hour Each
DETROIT, MICH., Dec. 6.—Similar
to the Recorder’s tlning peddlers $1
quart for every quart their meas
ures are short, Police Commissioner
Gillespie to-day ordered patrolmen
found to have slept on their l» -ats to
work an hour overtime for every
minute they sleep on duty.
One was told to serve sixty hours
for an hour’s sleep and another ten
hoitifc for ten minutes.

Bend pour letters addressed to
MARY LEA DAVIS,
Editorial Department, The At
lanta Georgian.
The letters continue to come to my
desk in packages. I don’t see how I
can publish all of them by the closing
day of the contest, December 18. But
I shall print as many as possible.
I was greatly pleased with one
which came the other day and which
was published in The Georgian yes
terday. It was chock full of senti
ment, and it was the sort of letter 1
wished I had written. I’m not going
to say who wrote It, or indicate which
letter it was, but if you read all the
letters printed yesterday you doubt
less picked it out without trouble.
It wasn’t a long letter. Quite the
contrary; but it certainly contained a
splendid suggestion. I hope other
letters with similar good sugges
tions will be received. I am afraid
some of the writers haven’t read the
rules carefully. I have tried to make
them very plain. Better read them
over again if you contemplate writ
ing.
Here are some of the letters just
received:
INSURANCE POLICY.
Miss Mary Lea Davis.
I suggest an insurance policy
of several thousand dollars as a
gift from husband to wife.
Macon, Ga. B. T. M’C.
A SHAVING SET.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
As a gift from wife to hus
band, I suggest a nice pocket-
knife. a shaving set and a sub
scription to his favorite paper.
It’s not the gift, but the giver.
Atlanta, Ga. MRS. K. J. T.
A CARVING SET.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the most acceptable and
appreciated Christmas gift that
a man could give his wife would
be a nice carving set.
MRS. U. G. M.
Lawrenceville, Ga.
A HAPPY HOiviE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I would say that the nicest
Christmas present for a husband
would be a happy home, with a
loving wife to minister to his
wants 365 days in the year, and
then a smoking jacket, a pair of
house slippers and a box of his
favorite cigars and a book by his
favorite author given him by his
wife with her love.
MRS.
Gainesville, Ga.
H. C. H.
A PLEASANT SMILE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the best present for the
wife to give her husband for
Christmas is a pleasant smile and
a whole heart full of love and
confidence that will last always.
He will appreciate that most ot
all. MRS. G. D. P
Atlanta, Ga.
A SAFETY RAZOR.
Mis* Mary Lea Davis:
If husband is in the habit of
getting shaved at a barber shop
two or three times a week, get
him a safety razor and then in
sist upon his putting aside the
same amount each week that he
had been paying the barber after
he begins the use of the safety.
At the end of the year he will
have put aside possibly $25 or
$30, and this wilt solve the
Christmfifs present problem for
him next Christmas.
Atlanta, Ga. MRS. E. C.
A GOOD PIPE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the best Christmas
present a wife can give her hus
band is a smoking jacket, meer
schaum pipe and The Georgian.
MRS. J. W. F.
Atlanta, Ga.
AN EASY CHAIR.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I suggest that husband likes
nothing better than an easy
chair, dressing gown and slip
pers, with Tiie Georgian for com
pany. The wife can then make
known her wants.
MRS. J. W. S.
Gainesville. Ga.
AN OVERCOAT.
Miss Mary Lea‘Davis:
I would suggest a nice over
coat. MRS. J. G. B.
Atlanta, Ga.
CHANCE TO JOIN SHRINE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The gift that would be most
appreciated by any man (pro
vided he is a Mason ) is $50, with
permisison to Join the Shrine.
Rome, Ga. MRS. K B.
A DAILY SMILE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the most useful and
comforting present you could give
your husband (I mean the hus
band who has a regular fault
finder for a wife) would be a
sweet, cheerful smile for Christ
mas—one like you gave when you
were sweethearts—and promise
him he will get the same sweet
smile each day for the next year.
MRS. C. L. P.
Atlanta, Ga.
A WRITING DESK.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think a writing desk makes a
very appropriate and useful gift
to a wife. T. E. B.
Southport, Fla,
A YEAR’S PERMIT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Give your husband a permit to
go where he pleases 365 even
ings in the year, and when the
privilege is his, manlike, he will
not care to take advantage of it,
and you will find him when you
want him—at home with vou,
satisfied. MRS. B. D. C.

LONDON. Dec. 6.—The suffragettes
began in earnest to-day to carry out
their threat of nation-wide incen
diarism in revenge for the arrest of
Emmeline Pankhurst.
Rusholmee Exhibition Hall, in
South Manchester, was destroyed,
with a loss of $60,000. Near the
.scene of the fire was an abusive let
ter addressed to Premier Asquith.
At Liverpool ’’arsonettes” set fire to
the scenic railway in the Liverpool
Exposition Grounds, partly destroy
ing it. There also was a letter abus
ing the Premier left by the inoen-
ularles.
Militants tried to burn the grand
stand of the famous Aintree race
course near Liverpool, but wi re pre
vented by the police. Several women,
who fled at the approach of the police,
were detected getting fire to a portion
of the stand, which had been soaked
with oil. A large quantity of litera
ture reviling the Government was
found.
Large property owners, fearing the
widespread activity of the arson
squads, are hiring private watchmen
to protect their buildings. Members
of the Cabinet have been advised to
keep an especially strict watch about
their homes, and Premier Asquith
probably will be attended by a body
guard on account of the hostility
aroused by Mrs. Pankhurst’s arrest.

improves the
skin and hair
R ESINOL SOAP is in every way
pure, delightful and cleansing
for the toilet and shampoo. In addi
tion, it contains Resinol, which doc
tors everywhere prescribe for skin
and scalp affections. Its regular
use, therefore, tends to prevent pim
ples, blackheads, and blotches, to
keep the hair thick and lustrous,
and the scalp free from dandruff.
Resinol Soap is not artificially colored, its
rich brown is given it by the Resinol med
ication. Costs 25 cents and is worth infi
nitely more to everyone who values a clear
skin and good hair.
