Will Succeed Mason Unless
Something Happens to
Upset Plans. '
W. P. Fain, Second Ward Repre
sentative, will be elected successor
to Chairman Carlos H. Mason, of
the Police Commission, unless some
thing happens between now and the
time of the election to disrupt well-
laid plans.
The unmistakable signs Wednesday
are that the fight finally will narrow
down to Mr. Fain and W. A. Vernoy.
Commissioner from the Third Ward,
The situation is inevitable in spite of
the fact that attempts to deny it will
be made by those concerned. And if
the vote Is taken on only these two
at least eight of the twelve members
will cast their ballot for Mr. Fain.
The chaotic state of the race for
the chairmanship took definite form
during and following the meeting of
the Police Commission Tuesday night.

Ct.AUFORT, N. C., Dec. 10.—The
German steamer Mecklenburg is
aground on Frying Pan Shoals, one
of the most dangerous parts of the
Norht Carolina coast. The revenue
cutter Seminole reached here early
to-day after the wireless had flashed
news of the vessel’s plight, and is
now standing by. No assistance will

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—President
Herrmann, of the Cincinnati baseball
club, announced to-day that he had
been offered $25,000 by President Eb-
betts, of the Brooklyn club, for
Shortstop Joe Tinker, the ousted
manager of the Reds. Herrmann
said he had put the offer up to the
directors of the club and that a de
cision would bo reached soon. "It’s
a pretty good offer,” he added, “but
I won’t take up the matter until to
morrow.”
There
Wednesday.
Narrows Down to Two
From a situation where practically
every member of the Commission was
a candidate to succeed Mr. Mason, the
situation has sifted to a fight between
Mr. Fain and Mr. Vernoy; and every
« »tep points more and more clearly to
A he election of Mr. Fain.
The position of only one man casts
any uncertainty over the election of
Mr. Fain, so far as political prognos
tications go. That Is the attitude of
Commissioner B. Tee Smith, also a
c andidate for chairman. Mr. Smith
is a warm personal friend of Mr.
Fain, whose friends declare that since
the adjustments of the last few days
there is no doubt that Mr. Smith will
throw his support to Mr. Fain.
A. R. King also is a candidate for
the chairmanship, but he is said to
be ready to withdraw in favor of
Mr. Fain.
The support of Mayor Woodward
and his new appointees to the com
mission is counted on through the
pressure of expediency. The Mayor
frill not vote for Mr. Vernoy and he
is personally very friendly with Mr.
Fain.
Dozier Urged to Return
There IS a report that Mayor Wood
ward is urging Graham P. Dozier, who
resigned as Tenth Ward Commissioner
at the last meeting of Council, to re
turn to the Commission and stand for
the chairmanship. Should Mr. Dozier
decide upon such a course, Mr. Fain's
plans would be badly upset, but G.
P. Dixon already has been agreed upon
as Mr. Dozier’s successor and It sueths
that Mr. Dozier Is out for good.
' From present Indications the line
up on the election of chairman will
be as follows:
For Fain—Robert O. Clark. A. R.
King, Dr. J. H. Baskin, slated to be
elected to succeed Carlo* Mason ns
First Ward representative; Marcellus
Anderson. slated to be the new
Seventh Ward representative; B. Lee
Smith. G. P. Dixon, slated to succeed
Mr. Dozier from the Tenth; Mayor
Woodward and his appointee.
For Mr. Vemoj—George Johnson
and G. R. Gamer.
Not counted—Fair, and Vernoy.

Pendleton’s court Wednesday.

that his wife on several occasions
had pointed a revolver at him, and,
placing her finger on tha trigger,
said:
“Now, you hound, you are going
to die.”
Again, the man testified, Mrs. Lee
had sprrupon him and beat him
severely with her fists. Also that when
he caught her hands and held them
she bit him on the forearm. The wit
ness displayed several deep lacera
tions in hi« arm to bear out his tes
timony.
“My wife continually nagged me for
money,” said Lee. ‘T gave her every

“With the money I gave her, Mrs.
Ivee rented and furnished a house at
No. 388 Peachtree street. The furni -
ture cost ?1,800.
“Yet she never attempted to clean
it, and forced me to do so every Sun
day.
“Finally, under the constant strain
of her nagging, I broke down and was
forced to quit work. Then she be
came angry and one night came into
my room with a revolver in her hand.
“She polntsd the weapon at me and
said. ‘Now. you have got to go to
work. I am tired of seeing you
around here.’
“T protested, and she then said,
‘You miserable beast, I might as well
shoot you, then.’
“T told her that T knew that when
the time came for me to die that 1
couldn't do anything to prevent it,
and for her therefore to go on and
shoot.
Hadn’t “Nerve” to Shoot.
“She said: ‘Well, 1 haven’t got the
nerve to shoot you, but there are
more ways than one to kill a cat.’
“At that I arose from my chair
and started to packing my suitcase.
I was going to leave. Then my wife
sprang at me,like a mad woman and
sought to tear my eyes out.
“I caught her hands and held them.
Then she bit me time and again on
my arms, until finally the pain forced
me to throw* her off.
“I left my wife because 1 was
afraid that she would put poison in
my food.”
When Mrs. Lee took the stand sue

will be as pleasant as they promise
to be.
"I fel that sportsmanship should

National League, but not In a way
that would endanger the business
principles. I shall do everything in
my power to safeguard and conserve
the honesty of the game and place
it upon a higher plane.
“I expect that my relations as pres
ident with the club owners will be
harmonious throughout.
“Baseball depends much upon the
press for Its popularity and the press
depends upon the officials of base
ball for Its news. I shall expect the
clubowners to ^ermlt me to talk
for the league. The owners may
speak for themselves In matters con
cerning their own clubs.”

Hearst Gives $5,000 to Oglethorpe; Sees South as Leader in Education
The following telegram was read to the Oglethorpe University Committee to-day:
Mr. John Temple Graves,
Atlanta Georgian.
I am extremely interested in the rebuilding of Oglethorpe University in Atlanta. 1 wish you would
kindly subscribe $5,000 from me toward that fund, and through The Atlanta Georgian or any other of ous
publications that could be of service enter heartily'into the agitation of this project. For a long time the
South led all America in the fame and excellence of its universities. There is now no reason why it should not
do so again, and there is every reason why Atlanta should be in the front rank of the advancing columns of
education and human progress. Please make sure that our papers do their full share in this great work
December 10, 1913. W. R. HEARST.
