FOUR ARE BITTEN BY MAD DOG
CLEVELAND, Dec. 13.—Lake
Shore officials to-day are conduct
ing: an investigation of the wreck of
train No. 3 6 to Chicago, near Wick-
liffe early to-day, in which Fireman
Kubrick was killed, with a belief that
it was an attempt on the part of
train wreckers to “get” President A.
H. Smith, who was en route to New
York in his private car on the train
to take up the office to which he has
just been elected.
Engineer said that following the
crash he saw two men standing a
short distance ahead on the track.
One of them cried:
“You are all in the ditch,” in a
mocking voice. Before Lamb could
reply they had fled.
Lake Shore police think disgruntled
track men recently lift’d off may have
conceived and executed the plot to
wreck the train.
President Smith, who rushed to a
nearby brick yard to telephone for
the wrecker, narrowly escaped losing
his life. He was trying to break in
a window when Watchman Peter An
derson appeared with a drawn re
volver.
“Don’t shoot,” yelled Smith. “I am
A. H. Smith, president of the New
York Central lines. I am trying to
get to a telephone.”
“Yes, yoi^ are. Tell that to Swee
ny,” retorted Anderson.
Smith finally convinced the watch
man.

towns in Georgia. Alabama and South
Carolina, are being investigated by L.
J. Baley, chief of the Southern Divi
sion of the Federal Bureau of Inves
tigation, following a long conference
with Mrs. Bond.
The investigation is centering in
Atlanta, where the Stoes are sup
posed to have brought a 15-year-old
Athens girl and placed her in one of
the cheap hotels that still operate
practically wide-open resorts. Al
though Mr. Baley refused to commit
himself as to his plans for the inves
tigation, it is definitely understood
that he contemplates a search of prac
tically every hotel of the cheaper class
in the city in quest of the girl, who
is said to be under the domination of
Stoe and bis wife, and turning all her
earnings over to them.
Made Dazzling Promise*.
According to the story told Mr. Ba
ley by the Bond girl, Mrs. Stoe met
the 15-year-old girl in Athens several
months ago and, by promises of gor
geous gowns and unlimited quanti
ties of jewelry, induced her to run
away from home and come to Atlan
ta. The woman wrote the girl a let
ter, Mrs. Bond said Mrs. Stoe told
her, telling her when to come to At
lanta and where to stop during the
progress of the arrangements to get
her into one of the hotels. This let
ter Mr. Baley is now endeavoring to
locate, but so far has met with no
success. Mrs. Bond says Mrs. Stoe,
during one of the periods when she
became half intoxicated and bragged
of the young girls she has ruined,
told her of the case of the Athens
girl and told her also the date the
child was to come to Atlanta, but that
she has forgotten the details in the

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
ROME Dec. 13.—An international
event of major importance will be
made of the return to the French
Government of the priceless art
masterpiece, “La Gioconda,” or
“Mona Lisa,” as it is also known.
The painting, which was stolen from
the Louvre in Paris and subsequent
ly discovered in Florence, Will be re
turned to the French Government
through the Ambassador at Rome
and will be accompanied by brilliant
ceremonies designed to cement the

himself. Perugia declares he stole

committed against Italy by Napoleon.
Two carabineers have been detailed
to watch the painting night and day
until it is formally turned over to the
French authorities.

Sunday to Mark Religious Epoch.
Whole State Stirred—Pastors
Expect Overflow Crowds.
“It will be one of the greatest days
in the religious history of Atlanta!”
If a “composite” could be obtained
of the scores of optimistic predictions
on “Go-to-Church Day” which poured
into The Georgian office Saturday and
all day Friday, that is about the way
it would read.
One minister had sent out 5,000 in
vitations to his Go-to-Church serv
ices on Sunday. Several others had
issued 1,000 or more, and all were cer
tain that practically every church in
the city would be filled to capacity
both morning and evening.
Three weeks ago December 14 was
set as Atlanta's “Go-to-Church Day ”
Since then all of the ministers and all
of the ministerial organizations tb ;t
have met have given it their indor3e-
ment.
“Fighting Strength” To Be Shown.
In consequence a spectacle will be
furnished of the entire ministry of
Atlanta joining in a great movement
to glorify and set forth for the view
of the world the maximum “fighting
strength” of the churches here.
“I am expecting Sunday to be a
great day * my church,” said *he
Rev. A. t\ Shuler, of the East Side
Tabernacle. “Every preacher in At
lanta should rally his congregation to
do its utmost to-morrow and thus
demonstrate that we preachers know
an opportunity when it presents it
self.
“I am going to take as my subject
Sunday night ’The Church Without
a Hobble.’ I believe the greatest he
of the church to-day is ot cut the
cord that binds the millstones of the
world about its neck, and free, to
stand forth in . e strength of God
My morning sermon will be.’A Vision
of the Future.’
Thanks The Georgian.
“I am glad that ‘Go-to-Church Day’
has been Instituted. I thank The
Georgian for the suggestion.”
Every member of Dr. Shuler’s con
gregation has avowed his intention
of bringing at least one non-member
or one infrequent attendant to one oi
the servicer. Strea mers advertising
the day have been placed in the
church and special music has been
arranged.
Dr. Caleb A. Ridley, of Central Bap
tist Church, and Mr. Bell, the mu:nc
director, declare they are going to
seat all strangers who come, whether
the regular members get seats or not.
Dr. Ridlev said Saturday that there
are 300 seats in the gallery, and if
the strangers get ther * n time h<
will send the deacons and old stand
bys to occupy these seats and give
the visitors the first floor.
To Take Care of Overflow.
Central Church seats about 1,000
people, when all the »paee is occu

downstairs auditorium before speak

Policeman, Attacked When He
Goes to Kill Cur, Is Under
Special Treatment.
Four persons Saturday were suf
fering from the savage attacks of a
mad dog owned by Mr. and Mrs. L.
A. Parker, No. 121 Simpson street.
Three of the victims will be unaware
of the fact that it was a mad dog un
til they read this account.
The fourth, J. A. Arnold, a call of
ficer at the Police Department, re
ceived treatment at Grady Hospital
after a desperate encounter with the
animal which he finally killed with
his pistol. Arnold later in the day
will obtain treatment in the laborato
ries in the State Capitol.
None of the other three persons bit
ten are known to the Parker family
or the authorities, and they are ex
tremely anxious tliat the victims may
learn of their dange/ so that treat
ment may be begun before it is too
late.
Pet of Children.
The dog was a shaggy brown mon
grel that had been made a great pet
by the four Parker children. It first
developed symptoms of rabies Friday
afternoon. A Tech High School stu
dent was passing the house when the
dog suddenly ran out of the yard
snapping and snarling and bit the
young man.
The student kicked the dog away
and walked on. In the evening Glenn
Parker, aged 15 years, and Tom
Rutherford, 12, who is rooming at the
Parker home with his sister. Miss
Ethel Rutherford, went to Sharp’s
Drug Store at Marietta and Walton
streets. The dog followed them and
on the way began to run at pedes
trians, snapping and growling at
them.
When the animal bit a man and a
boy wh'o were walking together, young
Parker and Rutherford became
alarmed and took the dog back home
with them and looked him in the back
yard Inclosure. Just as Mrs. Parker
was feeding the chickens Saturday
morning the dog leaped the barrier
and made for her.
Barricaded the House.
Terror-stricken, she rushed into the
house and, wfith Miss Rutherford, bar
ricaded the place against the mad
dened animal and warned her four
children not to go out of doors. From
the windows they could see the dog
racing among th4 frightened chick
ens, chasing them about the yard and
biting them at every opportunity.
Seizing one of the larger hens, the
dog shook it until it was dead.
The police department was notified
and Call Officer Arnold hastened to
the Parker home on his motorcycle.
He found tne house closed and barred.
As he was knocking on the door the
dog, noticing the visitor, ceased his
attack on the poultry and rushed tor
Arnold.
Policeman Is Bitten.
Before the policeman could protect
himself, the dog had sunk his fangs
repeatedly in Arnold’s leg. Arnold
finally was able to kick the dog off
so that he could get a shot at him
with his revolver. Not until he had
fired five bullets into the animal’s
body did the dog give up.
Inside the house, the wom^i and
the five children listened panic-
stricken to the fusilade of shots, and
the neighbors ran to their doors and
windows to see what was happen
ing.
The hospital authorities advise the
three unidentified persons who were
bitten to begin treatment at once In
order to avoid serious consequences.
