Continued From Page 1 mother who called for the basket; warm, comfortable underwear for her children; shoes, stockings—and toys. And that meant no empty stockings in many hundred homes. That meant no heart-breaks in the cold, drizzling dawn of Christmas morning. That meant a happiness in the heart and a glowing warmth in the body that the chilly gloom of the. morning could not touch. That meant "Merry Christmas!" But it wasn’t "Merry Christmas" for those homes alone. You know (you people who made [the Empty Stocking tragedy a thing j of the past in Atlanta), and i who called on you and saw sponrl day by day—we know us, and it’s all in the family, In any of the men forgot everything except their own anxiety to escape from a possible death in the flame* they thought would soon reach the celebration hall. They trampled upon mothers who were trying vainly to •ave their little ones. They crushed Jhe life out of infants and weaker Aien Contrast to this action was shown In the action of some of the cooler- headed miners. John Heikkrnen and Henry Manley were crushed to death with several children they were try ing to rescue from the mad rush. One man was seen to stoop and pick aip a little girl. The madly pushing crowd knocked him from his feet. He • nd the child were trampled to death A little girl aged about flve leaped from a window to the street, two stories below, and was practically un it urt. Many of the deaths in the panic were due to suffocation under the great p:le of human bodies This was evidenced by the fact that many bodies bore no mark of injury. Saloon It Blamed. Tracing the man who caused the panic, private detectives employed by the mine owners to-day learned that he came to the ball direct from a saloon. Persons nearest the door when he shouted fire said that the breath blown into tty* room with the cry smelled of alcohol. A Coroner's Jury waji Impaneled h■ton after midnight and an effort was made to make a careful investigation of the disaster. All public holiday festivities were called off to-day. Celebrations In all private homes in the city were sad dened and most of them were aban doned. President Moyer, of the Western Federation of Miners, to-day wired I J'resident Wilson, Governor Ferris, of Michigan; Secretary of Labor Wil son and Secretary Morrison of the American Federation of Labor, noti fying them of the disaster The tele grams urged Immediate State and national Investigations of the occur rence. **A Very Merry Xmas —coupled with our wishes for your health and happiness”—that’s the toast to our many friends, and to all the people, in Atlanta.and throughout the South!

Co Backache Eyeball Pain we know, you re- • among that the finest part of all this big Christmas celebration came Christmas morning with the realization that THOSE Kids haven’t got much philosophy, the way we older ones see it. Our own philosophy, at the best, is a sorry sort of grin-and 1 -bear-it affair. The kids (thank goodness!) haven’t got that yet. And (thanking goodness and the Good Fellows again) there are nearly a thousand Atlanta kids that won’t begin studying that tough old phil osophy Christmas morning in 1913. You who did this thing don’t want anv praise. You didn't do it for that. This isn’t by way of praise. It’s hard to know just what to call it—an appreciation, or what. But you surely CAME THROUGH, you good friends who filled the empty stockings of Atlanta for Chris’mas morning, 1913. The kids think it’s Santa Claus, of course. That’s Just what they OUGHT TO THINK. You won’t frame up a better sys tem of Christmas philosophy, or a liner spirit of the peace-and-good-w ill-on- earth brand than in filling the empty stockings of a great city on Christ mas Day. You were regular Santa Clauses. And all the world knows that Santa Claus is the best sort of a Good Fel low. Thank you— And Merry Christmas! Say—it doesn’t look like gloomy day, does it?

The Christmas spirit found a beau tiful expression in The Georgian and Sunday American’s Christmas tree festival on the City Hall plaza Wed nesday evening. The tree is the largest, and most profusely decorated in the South. At dusk Wednesday it was lighted with hundreds of electric bulbs. Towering 60 feet in the air with its tinsel and decorations, it appeared the very glam of toyland. Wedemeyer’s Band started the pro gram at 5 o’clock and when the crowds had gathered the little chil dren from the Georgia Baptist Or phans’ Home at Hapeville, and the Methodist Decatur Orphans’ Home at Decatur, began singing Christmas carols. The newsboys were there, too. They sang and shouted and danced. The first concert lasted until 7 o’clock. At 8 o’clock Wedemeyer’s Band began playing again and con tinued until 10 o’clock. The event was the epitome of the Christmas spirit. While the beautiful songs of those little orphans won’t be heard again Christmas night the tree will again be lighted. Every little boy and girl in Atlanta should see it. It is really the most beautiful Christmas tree ever seen in Atlanta; hundreds who were at the festival Wednesday night said so.

GUYTON, Dec. 25—Bessie Wall Is dead and her husband, Jordan Wall, is probably fatally wounded, having been shot by a man said to be Gus Richardson. The shooting took place at a turpen tine still near Marlow, and It is said started when Richardson was accused of having found a pocketbook that had been lost. A warrant for Richardson’s arrest was Issued by Judge Sewell and several deputies went in pursuit of him. but he has not been captured.. Richardson is said to have been drink ing just previous to the shooting. When the Boy Scouts take it into their heads to play Santa Claus—look out! Somebody tipped off the members of Troop 3 that there was a new sport for them. That was enough. The Associated Charitia supplied the names. The Boy Scouts of Troop J did the rest. The rest, by the way, was plenty. Forty Boy Scouts, chaperoning forty baskets—heavy, large baskets start ed out on a hike the day of Christmas Eve, and forty families that weren’t expecting much of a day for Christ mas were disappointed in one of the happiest ways you ran imagine. The New Sport sure made a hit with the Bov Scouts of Troop 3. Here’s the roster of Santa Clauses in Troop 3, some heroes of peace a« well as of prospc live war: K. G. Everett, Scout Master; L. A.
