ment" Pursues Him.
Imbued with the hallucination that
ti e evil element" of Atlanta had in
vaded hi* loom with ropes and guns
to Kill him. I. Ivey, h picture framer,
made a desperate attempt early on
Tuesday morning to leap from a
third-story window of the William*
Hotie*. No, 15 3 2 Marietta street,
where he ha* been living for the last
few day a
Policemen and guests of the hotel
who rushed to the man s room when
they heard him screaming found him
struggling with the window and try
ing to break the amall iron bars that
inrtSose it.« Policemen Jones and Da
vid took him to headquarters, where
he was locked up in a cell to prevent
a recurrence of the temporary fit of
insanity with which It 1» thought he
became afflicted He was released
five hour* later, when he had become
rational
Only the timely entrance of the of
ficers and the guests of the place
prevented the man from plunging to
his death on the Marietta street
pavement.
Persons who occupy neighboring
rooms were awakened by Ivey’s
screams of “Murder!" and “Help!"
and then there came the sound of
crashing furniture and the breaking
of gias«» Half a dozen of the room
ers rushed to his room and found the
door locked
"What’s the matter?*’ shouted one
of tne crowd that had gathered.
“They’re killing me!" screamed
Ivey. -They’re going to hang me!
For God’s sake help me!” v
While some of the guests of the
intej telephoned the police, others
broke open the door and entered
Tve.\'s room When they entered Ivey
was frantically tearing at the win
dow. and wielding a heavy chair in
hi* 4 fforta to break the iron bars.
Falling in that, he thrust his dread be
tween the bars and tried to wriggle
through, but was caught as his
•houluers went through the opening.
Tells Weird Story.
When the policemen came Ivey told
■ weird story of a midnight assault
th it he declared was directed against
his life,
T\e been heartily In favor of Chief
Reavera’ vice crusade.” he told the
poll e. and the evil element of the
dty have got it in for me and are
pursuing me. They followed me home
last night and after 1 went to bed
they knocked on my door and wanted
in. I told them to get away, and a
great crowd of them t ame in through
the keyhole. The> carried ropes, and
said they were going to hang me. I
begged them not to do it, and they
finally decided that they wouldn’t.
They left the room then, and later
another crowd came in and said they
guessed they’d ahoot me. I couldn't
talk them out of it, and when they
•tailed after ma with their guns l
tried to get away from them.”

Making note r* « enil.v of some prog

against capital punishment that it»

The State. In hanging a crimi

in s6 doing sets an example that
encourages the criminally In

much as does the same kind of a
crime committed by the individ

breeds murder, whether commit

The great teacher, Christ, in

injunction of “an eye for an eye

Christian people stand up for a
custom that should shame the
civilization of a Hottentot.
May the day speedily arrive
when Judicial murder will be at
an end in this great Common
wealth and also In this great na
tion!" N
Capital punishment probably will j
be abolished in Georgia eventually—
Just as It will be abolished every- I
where In the civilized world—and al
ready the sentiment against It Is very
strong. One need only listen to the
striking of a jury In a murder case In
Georgia to realize how many people
even now will not qualify because of
their opposition to this foihn of pun
ishment for crime
It does not seem likely that capital
punishment for all crimes will be
abolished at one wwoep in Georgia
but after a while there likely will be
Introduced and passed through the
Legislature a bill sharply circum
scribing it. and that will be followed
later by a law- stopping it altogether
That, at least, is what a great many

“Sundays It doesn’t work, and now

not on Its Job, but generally speaking
it is grinding all the time. It hears <
arguments, then consults, and then ;

When Judge Robert Pottle leaves

Governor Slaton has not made up

“There is never any milk or cream
used in a real eggnog--once either
at these things is added, the mixture
peases to be an eggnog, whatever
else It may be. Generally, it degen

“If one really wishes to enjoy the
delights of eggnog he should treat
himself to real eggnog it is very

By TARLETON COLLIER
It is considerably to the credit of
“The Quaker Girl," as presented at
the Atlanta Theater Monday night,
that it leaves a pleasant impression
in spite of several decided handicaps j
How this is done It Is hard to say,
except that Victor Morley is there to
accomplish a large hit of the salva
tion single-handed.
Naturally enough, the first handi
cap you would think of is that “The
Quaker Girl” Is here for its second
season However, that is not to be
deplored altogether, for there is mu
sic In the show of quality sufficiently
robust to stand repetition
The real burden which “The Qua
ker Girl" must bear is a lamentable
lack of good voices. Except In the
one instance of the “Come to the
Bail" song, there was no volume in
either the solo or the ensemble sing
ing.
AltogeT\^r. it 1s a rather diluted
production that is here this week. The
plaintive puerility of Miss Bernice
McCabe, the Quaker Girl, Is one «f
the first things that strikes you.
However, sinee f Ingenuousness and
shrinking is an attribute of a maiden
of the Friends, this is not altogether
unfortunate, perhaps. And Miss Mc
Cabe is pretty and a fair dancer.
It stands without danger of con
tradiction that Victor Morley is an
excellent comedian. Monday flight he
was a joy even to those who saw- him
and laughed with him last season. Mr.
Morley, being a versatile person, can
entertain and delight with his non
sense even while he plays the admir
able hero, in swagger hero clothes.
His dancing is excellent
“The Quaker Girl" will be at the
Atlanta for performances Tuesday
and Wednesday evening and Wednes
day matinee.
Happy Hooligan
Runs True to Form.
“Happy Hooligan.” invariable vic
tim In the myriad misadventures pic
tured by F. Opper in the Sunday com
ic sections, runs true to form as he
Is transported Into musical comedy at
the Lyric this week.
Manhandled, pummeled and black
jacked wtlh the prescribed regularity
by an obese policeman, “Happy's" lot
is made the least bit tolerable, only
from the fact that he is surrounded by
a chorus unusually good to look upon.
It follows that the sympathy for him
In his misfortunes is not at all times
unmixed with envy.
Harry Lamont has the part of this
Incarnation of Hard Luck, and. be
sides carrying it to the lively appro
bation of his audience, does some
rather clever specialties. Joe J. Sul
livan and Martin Guild—respective!v
Irish and Dutch comedian—are wall
adapted to the play’s type of fun. Tha
feminine principals —Celia Mavis and
Vera FYanklln are capable.
The singing Is a little better than
the average for popular-priced musi
cal show's. The production has its
own style of comedy, which almost
might be described as simply an elab
oration of Upper’s brand of humor
And. again, the maidens of the cho
rus are a few points above par.
Clever Sketch Feature
Of New Forsyth Bill.
Bozeman Bulger’s attempt at an in
timate picture of veterans of the Blue
and Gray falls short of the perfection
achieved by Irvin Cobb at the same
task In his “Back Home" stories.
However, Mr Bulger's stage version
of Sergeant Bagby's doing*, drawn
) from one of the Cobb stories, makes
I pretty good entertainment, and the
j Forsyth audience seeing the sketch
Monday, applauded generously,
i The stage picture of tlie Blue and
! the Gray veterans is rather fanciful,
and unfortunately is drawn inciden
tal to a plot of no weight; but some-
I how a sympathy is aroused George
Neville. Lawrence Eddinger and Neil

| biers.
The bill offered for holiday week
j patrons possesses features that range
in quality from fair to very good.
Several are well known, as, for in-
1 stance, Joe Boganny’s Lunatic Bak-
| ers. an established vaudeville act that
; is remarkable as a display of acro
batic talent. The names of Anatol

dancers of more than ordinary abil-
I ity. Burton. Hahn and Cantwell, a
! trio of capable singers, woo a great
deal of the commendation of Mon
day’s generous audiences also.
The bill is opened by the act of
Count Beaumont, a magician whose
palming is the best feat in his reper-

GRAIN NOTES.
Tlie Chicago Inter Ocean says.
Wheat traders who were bullish said it
required a lot of patience to be in a
market as slow' as tills one, as its refusal
to respond to the bullish news was cer
tainly discouraging, but they have faith
in the future and are keeping long a
little.
“Sentiment in corn was regarded last
night as too bearish and it was said that
the lo«al short Interest had been in
creased to proportions that made the
market look oversold."
ATLANTA LIVE STOCK MARKET.
(By W. H. White. Jr., of the White Pro
vision Co.)
While cattle receipts were normal, the
local live stock market ruled steady at
unchanged prices during the week. There
was some improvement noted in quality
with a better assortment coming in.
Light receipts are anticipated for the
remainder of this month, which should
be true on account of the light demand
during the holiday period.
