KIEFF LAWYERS SCORE TRIAL

Them—Accusing Priest Wade
Bishop as Reward.
Special Cable to The American.
KIEFF,. Dec. I —Mendel Be/lis de
clared to-day that being forced to
keep to his home for fear of being
murdered by the “black hundred” is
far worse than his prison experi
ences. Beilis is anxiously awaiting
the final decision on whether the
Government will appeal his case and
when he was told that the prosecutor
would make his announcement Mon
day he wept for Joy.
Beilis several times had been as
sured that his case was finished, but
he refuses to believe this and reiter- |
ates that he will be murdered before j
he r:an leave Huaaia.
M Vilensky, one of the attorneys j
who has had charge of the case for i
the defense, left to-day for lterlin
in company with several important
witnesses, who appeared for Beilis
to prepare a public statement giving
a new version of the murder of the
Yushinaky boy. This is being done
in response to the Government chal
lenge defying “the Jews to solve the j
mystery."
The report adopted at the recent I
meeting of the Ki*Tf barristers asso
ciation. in which the Government I
was condemned for bringing Beilis |
to trial, was telegraphed to the Min-j
ister of .luati.e hi St. f’etersluirg by
the president of the court before |
whom lieillia was tried The Minis
ter to-day Issued orders to have I
criminal charges brought against the I
barristers.
Another aftermath of the Beilis
trial occurred to-day, when 1.200 ,
Jewish students were expelled from
KielY University.

priest who was the only “expert" cler- 1
leal witness to testify for the G »v- '
eminent at the Beilis trial, has been
appointed Bishop of Kowno. the ricn-

services.
The Russian Government scourel

willing to testify that the Jewish rit

Bessemer Quintet Swamped, 46

Fast Battle.

m;tWy. r
Tljc basket ball season at the At
lanta Athletic Club opened last night
with a 46 to 14 victory for Coach
Beau's team over the Bessemer Ath
letic club quintet.
The game started off with the lo
cals throwing the first field and foul
goal, and after five minutes play it
was easily seen that the locals had
things their own way. Luring the
first half, the Bessemerites only
threw one field goal against the At
lanta hoys’ 12. The score at the end
of the first half was Atlanta 29.
Bessemer 7.
“Pie” Weaver played a remarkable
defensive game as well as a brilliant
offensive one, scorihg two field goal*
that were sensational. Carter, his
teammate, also played a fine game, a«
the score shows that only three field
goals were thrown by the visiting
team during the encounter.
For the Bessemer team Bailey led
at scoring. Clay played well at cen
ter. getting the jump the majority of
the times, only to loee the ball to an
Atlanta man. The losers were way
off on their shooting, for on many
occasions they had clean shots, but
failed to put them in for the count.
Mis9 Margaret Wingfield was
sponsor for the Bessemer team and
Miss Clifford West for Atlanta.
Following is the line-up and score:
Bessemer. Position. A. A. C.
Bftilqy (8) R. F Forbes (13)
Donaldson t3)...L. F Smith (16i
B. S. Clay (2)....(’ Dubard (12)

Girl Said Picture
Actor Winked at Her
“The next time you inveigle me
into a motion picture show you will
know it.” said Country Cousin Kate
to Ralph De Bruler, manager of the
Montgomery Theater here.
Do Rruler, hi«? brain in a whirl from
the perplexities of his position, was
nonplussed for the moment, but
finally ascertained the source of trou
ble engendered.
It seems that it was Cousin Kate’s
first visit to a motion picture show
and she claimed that a big. fat actor
on the “screen" deliberately winked
at her (it must have been John Bun
ny) and being from the country,
she rebelled at such impertinence and
it required one full hour of Ralph’s
time to explain to her that it was all
in the picture.

Probublv very few of New York’s

realize that a few miles north of

The president of the Southern So

ate of the University of Virginia, and
a close friend of President Woodrow
Wilson, whom he attended when the
latter visited his birthplace, Staun
ton. Va., ju*t after his election to the
Presidency.
The Southern Society is now the
largest of the many societies estab
lished here by former residents of
other sections. Its members are most
conspicuous among the appointments
of President Wilson, himself a mem
ber of the society.
He attended the last annual dinner
held just before his inauguration, af
ter which he ceased attending public
or semi-public dinners.
However, the Southerners yet hope
that President Wilson will make an
exception in the case of his own so
ciety and attend the dinner of next
Wednesday.
