Installation of Heavy Machinery inj
Factories Throughout South
To Be Handled From Here.
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.— Work was be
gun to-day on another "safety*’ net
in the Masonic Temple, where yester- |
dtty .John Kowinski leaped from the
eighteenth door to his death in a net
ori a level with the ninth floor of
the building. Kowinski was the
eighth Masonic Temnle suicide. He
left a letter in which he requested
that his body be used for scientific
purposes.
"f could live longer if I wanted
to. and perhaps become a burglar."
he wrote. “It is in the interest of
society that I take my life.”
Clay p. n.f e. head of the Rice Con
tra* ting Company, came to Atlanta
for the first time a few weeks ago
to .nstall the heavy machinery in a
If.ad mill at East and Bishop streets—
thp only plant of the kind south of
Cincinnati for the Georgia bead
Work,. The work virtually wan com
pleted Saturday afternoon, when the
last of the ISO tons of machinery was
nut In its place. , .
So impressed was Mr. Klee with the
industrial activity and possibilities of
Atlanta that lie is now making Prep
arations to establish a branch office
of itis company in this city, and make
Atlanta the headquarters for the In
stallation of heavy machinery
throughout the entire South
Atlanta, being the industrial cen
ter of the South.” said Mr Rice Mon
day morning, "is the logical location
for the Southern branch of a busi-
11... such as ours. There appears
he a lack .if facilities for the moving,
installation and erection of heavy
machinery In this section of the
country. I understand that frequent
ly li is necessary to send to the
North and East for apparatus when-
• ver it is necessary to move some
f mach II.-rv We expect 1 b”
Atlanta office to become one of our
largest branches and furnish us a
-oodly share of our business.
Wo expect to keep here the heavy
•lerricks. hoisting apparatus and
other rigging that we used on the
lead works Job, and will tiring other
apparatus to Atlanta as the need for
it develops. When our Atlanta branch
Is opened we probably will empl
between 50 and 60 men to handle
and care for our apparatus, and that
number will be Increased as we ex
pand our territory and more appa
ratus is brought here. We will be
prepared to handle and move am
erect any kind of machinery, no mat
ter what its size, for our equipment
is the most powerful made. In the
work on the Georgia Read Company's
mill, we ‘installed 150 tons of ma
chinery in IS days, and one of our
derricks lifted easily one load that
weighed 42 tons."
Mr. Rice expects to go to Chicago
within a few days to make the flnal
arrangements for the opening of Itis
Atlanta office, and probably will re
turn within it few weeks. During his
absence T. S. Van Stone, one of Ills
assistants, will be in charge of the
apparatus that is here, and will look
slier the local interests of the com
pany.
The lead mill which Mr. Rice has
; r.st completed the installation of the
machinery is expected to be in full
.peration on February 1. to supply
he Georgia Dead Company's South
ern trade with sheet lead, pig lead,
lead sewer pipe, etc. The plant will
employ between 50 and 100 men.

Cripple Runs Amuck

SAN BERNARDINO. CAD.. Dei
29. Supposedly a helpless cripple,
but in an instant transformed. James
O’Brien, who now’ occupies a cell in
the County Hospital awaiting ex
amination by a lunacy commission,
tried to kill a dozen persons anil kept
the little town of Dale in a state of
terror for two days.
He finally was overpowered and
guarded day and night until an au

Mecca.
Prayer for Aged Is
Sent by Mrs. Morgan
NEW YORK. Dec 29. A special
prayer for those who have passed or
nearly reached the allotted span of
life has been sent to Rev. Earl Rei-
land. rector of St George’s Episcopal
Church, by Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan,
widow of the financier.
Mrs. Morgan asks for divine help
to "make the noblest use of mlj^d and
body in our advancing years." to
take from us all fear of death and
all despair or undue love of life."
Willis is a beauty! And so is Miss
Jones! And yet Miss Jones unhesita
tingly enlists Miss Willis! Was sir h
thing ever known before? One
woman asks another.
And what i more marvelous, say
the • women friends and admirers of
tin* "general* and the “recruit,” is
that in all human .probability the two
will still be firm friends when they
finally march up to the Capitol to give
to Governor Glynn their message.
Immediately after enlisting Miss
Willis, “General” Jones redoubled her
efforts to recruit her army, and soon
'signed" Mrs. < >ra Cectl-Bell, of No.
37 Madison avenue, a former captain
of the Twenty-seventh Assembly Dis-
triet of the Womfm Suffrage party.
Mrs. Cecil-Bell also declares she ex
pects to be with the "general” at trie
finish, and will do all she can to have
other suffragists join in the march.
Mrs. Cecil-Bell is also well known as
an enthusiastic horsewoman, and once
rode from Philadelphia to Pittsburg.
'Phis will be the second hike the
suffragists, under the leadership of
"General" Jones, have made to Al
bany. One year ago a band of 37
women, clad in sweaters, mackinaws,
short skirts and square-toed shoej,
started on their 140-mile walk.
Though they all started with the
declaration that they would "stick” t >
the end, most of them found the or
deal too much, and left a handful to
present their petition in the interests
of the cause to the Governor.
Those who faltered by the wayside
all insisted that they were heart
broken because they could not finish
the hike, but gave excellent reasons
for dropping out. Many became foot
sore and exhausted, and others found
that their duties at home were so
pressing that they were regretfully
compelled to return to New York.
"General” Jones also engineered a
suffragist inarch to Washington sev
eral weeks after the Albany bike and
presented a suffragist petition to
President Wilson.

IS DESTROYED
Blaze in Hay and Feedstuff Build
ing Burns All Day Sunday—Ad
joining Factory Damaged.
A pile of smoking ruins Monday
morning marked the site of the
building of trie National Warehouse
Company, at No. 319 Decatur street,
which was razed in a fire that started
at 3 o’clock Sunday morning and
burned stubbornly throughout the
day. Considerable damage was done
also to the annex plant of the Na
tional Pencil Company, w’hich adjoins
the Warehouse Company’s building.
Two hosemen of the fire depart
ment, McConnell and Smith, of en
gine company No. 4, narrowly escaped
serious injury when the walls of the
warehouse fell, and both were se
verely cut and bruised by the falling
timbers. Smith was pinned to the
ground by a heavy section of iron
plate, on top of which were several
burning bales of hay. He was res
cued by his mates before the fire
could reach him.
The blaze was one of the most
stubborn the firemen have fought tot
several years. Falling walls and tel
egraph wires imperiled their lives
half a dozen different times, and at
several stages in the fight it seemed
the fire had conquered and would
sweep the entire block. The entire
downtown fire-fighting apparatus an
swered the first call, and several ad
ditional companies were brought in
from the outlying districts before Hie
blaze was subdued. In spite of the
early hour, large crowds gathered to
watch the spectacular blaze, and a
detachment of police was necessary
to prevent the crow’ds hindering the
firemen in their work.
The loss to the National Warehouse
Company is betw’een $30,000 and $40,-
000, according to the statement of Jo
seph Gregg, president of th^, compa
ny, and it is estimated that the plant
of the Pencil Company was damaged
about $10,000. The losses are under
stood to be covered by Insurance.
Firemen have yet been unable to
determine the cause of the fire, but it
is thought it caught from sparks from
switch engines.
The burned building was construct
ed of sheet iron and wood, and was
filled with grain, hay and feedstuff.

CALUMET
BAKING POWDER
Some little time ago I made a careful study and investigation of the
baking powder subject and I feel fully repaid. 1 am firmly convinced
from the results I have received that there is no baking powder to
equal Calumet for wholesomeness and economy, and I also recommend
Calumet Baking Powder for its never failing results.

Calumet also received the Highest Awards at tha World’s Pure Food

it in your Holiday Bakings, making your Christmas Cakes
as good as the President s.
