who charges the robbery of his pock-
♦ tbook containing $40 to the trio in
the course of an extensive and some
what adventurous motor-car drive
< hristmas afternoon.
Two of the women. Mrs. May Logan
ard Mrs Carrie Clarke, of No. 402
Whitehall street, were arrested at the
termination of the drive, when Wil
liams ordered the chauffeur to hoi.I
tile car while lie telephoned to head
quarters, he having missed his pock-
etbook on the return drive.
The third woman, with whom Wil
liams was walking when the Other
two. in the machine, stopped ami in
vited then to join the party, left the
car And disappeared w hile W llliams
wa** telephoning the police.
Karly Friday morning the missing

was Mrs. J. C. Metcalf, of No. 40k

Williams told the police Thursday
Afternoon that the two women in the
car appeared to he friends of the
woman he was walking with, hut that
lie never had seen them before. The
drive itself was a pleasant affair,
Williams said, until, on the way back
to the city, he missed his wallet and
the $4" it contained.
Williams was uncertain which one
of his hosts to accuse, but finally de-
« ided on Mrs. Clarke, who promptly
slapped him.
This method of reciprocity aroused
Williams' anger, and as soon as thy
ear reached the business district of
the city he got out and telephoned
tile oolice.
Charges of disorderly conduct were
made against the two women who re
mained to be Arrested. One of them
had $50 In bills, but Williams' pocket-
book was not found.

Death.
El, PASO, TEX., Dec. -6. General

and will possibly direct the opera
tions of his forces in the attack.
“I want you to fight your hardest
and remain on the field of battle until
either you or the entire Federal force is
exterminated,” said the general to his
men before they left. ' If you are de
feated. I want you to continue fight
ing Do not surrender. Fight t o
death.”
General Villa telegraphed to Gen
eral Benevldes, at Jaurez, ordering
that 100,000 rounds of cartridges be
sent him at once at Chihuahua so that
they can be sent to the troops march
ing to Ojinaga, In his telegram Gen

cartridges on hand they should take
them from the cartridge belts of the

TO DAY’S MARKET
OPENINGS.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
Miss Alice Butler, an Anglo-French
j actress of ability, will address the
public conference on Maeterlinck and
"The Blue Bird” at the Atlanta Thea
ter next Tuesday afternoon. On her
mother's side she is collaterally re
lated to the family of General Ogle
thorpe, who came to America early
In the eighteenth century and found
ed the colony of Georgia. In the pa
ternal line Miss Butler is one of the
Augeardes, an aristocratic Norman
family, one of whose squires was
knighted for bravery on the battle
field by King Henry I of England.
Adrienne Augearde is her sister.
Miss Butler came from England
years and years ago to sing the Gil
bert & Sullivan operettas in one of
the D’Oyley (’arte companies. She
remained in this country to become a
dramatic character woman, and
played important roles in the com
panies of Richard Mansfield, Leslie
Carter and Nat Goodwill. For the
last three years she has been playing
the ugly Fairy Berylune in “Thejiluu
Bird.”
Miss Butler has spoken before
j many dramatic organizations in va
rious parts of the country. Her sub-
I Ject here will be " ‘The Blue Bird’ From
i the Actor’s Point of View.” Another
I address at the same meeting will be
delivered by Charles Hampden, the
stage director of the company, who
will speak on “My Visit to Maater-
linck.”

court commonly registered as “plain
drunks,” but even that list was far
shorter than in previous-years on the
day after Christmas.
Of the hospital calls, not one call
reached Grady Hospital for an in
jured hoy or girl who had been play
ing with fireworks Also, there were
no calls for any injured persons ex
cept a few negroes who had been
engaged in fights.
The single fatality was that of a
negro, Charlie Page, who lived in the
rear of No. 420 \Vest North avenue.
He was shot and killed by a negro,
who escaped.
Being a gray day, much doused w'ith
rain in the early hours, the Christmas
of 1013 was a home Christmas. Then
wasn’t so much of the highways and
byways element. The clubs were wed
attended, and there were well-filled
churches at the special services.
A Real “Home” Christmas.
But it was essentially a “home
Christmas.” which is by all odds the
happiest ar.d most satisfactory kind
of a Christmas.
chief Beavers noted this fact in the
qui -t and peaceful aftniosphere of the
streets.
"I never saw a Christmas celebra
tion attended^ by less noise and
roughness/* said the chief the morn
ing after. “ Is for arrests. I believe
the record falls far below anything
in the list ten years. Everybody
seemed to b< in a good humor, with
out being to< much so. w hich is some
times a cause of trouble."
Governor Slaton, speaking for the
State of Georgia, said he believed
this Christj):as was the happiest an
most prosperous the State ever had
enjoyed.
“ Financially and commercially.
Georgia m strictly on the top of the
heap,” ti e Governor said, “and the
relation of that condition to the fam
ily feeling is marked All records
show’ that it is in times of financial
and commercial depression that most
of the domestic troubles occur. Con
versely, w hen times are good, people
are good, too. It was, indeed, a hap
py Christmas.”
Ma-'or Highly Pleased.
Mayor Woodward had much the
same opinion to offer concerning the
quiet and plea ant celebration in the
city.
“I don’t remember ever having seen
a finer and prettier celebration than
that by the crowds on Atlanta’s
streets Christmas Eve,” said the
Mayor. ‘ Everybody seemed happy
and well-disposed.”
And as to the size of the Christmas
—well, the post office and the express
companies supply the measure for
that.
It is hardly a matter reducible to
cold figures, but an idea may be
gained of the extent of Atlanta’s gifts
by noting that the postoffice deliv
ered more than a million letters and
Christmas cards, and 225.000 parcel
post Christmas packages in the live
days preceding Christmas. Divided
among Atlanta’s* population, that
would give at least one package
Apiece and five letters and cards to
every man, woman and child in the
city.
Which doesn't include the express |
deliveries. The Southern Express j
company kept 75 wagons and live big j
motor trucks busy all the time, de
livering Christmas parcels.
Record Mail Delivery Work.
It is perhaps a record that at noon I
on Christmas Day. in spite of the
enorirrous flood of gifts and letters, not j
one remained undelivered, either by I
the postoffice or the express compa
nies.
The Christinas service was won
derful.
The fact that it was a “home
Christmas,” and that the out-of-door
celebration by fireworks was much
modified from that »f former years,
probably accounted for the scarcity
of fire alarms and the almost blank
hospital records of Christmas in
juries. Grady Hospital, in fact, went
through the day without a single
emergency call—a record in itself.
At the hotels the guests wore made
to feel that, they were as much at
home as possible, at that distance
from their ow ; firesides. One big ho
tel had a gorgeous Christmas tree in
the dining room. There were special
dinners, of course, and the atmos
phere was one of Christmas rr ayety
and good cheer.
KILLED BY TWIN BROTHER.
CORNELIA, Dec. 26.—One 7-year-old
sen < f XV. T. Robertson was accidentally
killed by bis twin brother as they were
playing with a loaded gun, which was
discharged, tearing jfway the child’s
head.
