BURGLARS CHOP
HOLE IN RODE,
LOOT STORE
Neighborhood of Edgewood Ave.
Grocery Unawakened by Un
usual Charge of Robbers.
Sailor-burglars did a shipshape Job
of chopping a hole through the root
of H. Albert's grocery at No. 385
Kdgewood avenue Monday. They i
, lemselves (town and drew themselves
Old their booty up again by a rope
astened to a rafter just below the
hole in the roof.
No disturbance was noticed by res
idents of the neighborhood, although
the burglars clambered to the roof,
took an ax and a hatchet and hacked
a hole four feet square in the roof of
the building, robbed the store and
clambered down from the roof and
went away.
No Trace of Band.
Detectives Rosser and Wiley are at
work on the case Monday morning,
but they have found no trace of the
burglars.
Albert does not know how much of
his stock was stolen.
When Henry Green went to his
brother, J. W. Green's, grocery at
Piedmont and Auburn avenues, to
open the place at 5 o’clock Monday
morning, everything seemed all right
But when he went to the oil reser
voir in the back room to get a gallon
of kerosene for a customer, he wasi
astounded by the sudden appearance
of a big negro from behind the can.
Negro Flees in Panic.
The negro was badly scared. Hs
rushed through the store and out the
door, yelling:
"Lemme loose! Lemme git away
from here.”
Green chased the man a couple of
blocks, but did not catch him. Po
licemen Gorman and Jones went to
the grocery, but'returned empty
handed to police headquarters.
Nothing was missing from the store
stock.

HOME MN;
$25,000 GONE
MILLEDGEVILLE, Feb. 16.—Three
robbers blew the large safe in the
home of C. H. Bonner, in the heart of
this town, early to-day, and carried
away a large amount of money.
The robbers caught Bonner's private
night watchman and bound him with
a rope, and while one kept watch over
him the others blew the. safe. It took
three charges to do the work.
Bonner is the wealthiest man in
this section of the State, and always
has kept his money in his private
safe instead of the banks. He would
not give cut the amount that the safe,
blowers carried away, but it is re
ported they got about $25,000.
No clew can be found to the rob
bers.

MILLS VIOLATING
LftMMGE
County Official Urges Compul
sory Education as Help in
Checking Child Labor.
Sixty-four per cent of the cotton
mills of Georgia are willfully violat
ing the provisions of the State child
labor law. asserted Judge W. W. Tin
dall, of the Juvenile Court of Fulton
County, who conducted the Sunday
evening services at the Ponce DeLeon
Avenue Baptist Church. Judge Tin
dall quoted from statistics compiled
by the Government to substantiate
his charge.
Ignorance is responsible for this
condition of affairs." said the judge.
’What we need most in this section
of the South is compulsory educa
tion."
He said the argument that compul
sory education would necessitate a
double school system, ond for the
whites and one for the negroes, is
pure buncombe.
“We have the negro problem to
face here, and in what better manner
could we face it than to teach the
negro to take care of himself?" asked
Judge Tindall
Tlie North, he said, lias had a more
difficult situation than the negro
problem to deal with, the mainte
nance of an element of population it
could not assimilate —the foreigner.

Child With Eventful Past, Which,
of Course. She Doesn’t Un
derstand, Happy Now.
Lltfle Lena Swift, the "Thirty-
Thousand-Dollar Babv." is in her new
home in Atlanta, with her grand
mother, Mrs. Lena Swift Huntley.
And little Lena is happy.
Lena, of course, was too young to
understand anything of the tragedy
in the separation of her father and
mother. She understood nothing of
the domestic troubles —except, per
haps, that mamma cried a good deal,
and that she (the little Lena) com
forted her with small arms and large
kisses
The little Lena understood nothing
of tiie divorce, or of the legal tangles,
and she could not possibly have
known what caused the papers to
print flaring headlines about her
mother giving up $30,000 so that she
might keep the little Lena.
All this went clear over little Lena’s
head, whicli isn’t a yard from her
small feet as yet. And when her
mother died in Washington—well, you
know how it is with a child. A lone
someness. and a questioning that is
not directly answered, and then a
getting used to it; quickly, as a child
does things.
Little Lena’s auntie was very good
to her, and so was little Lena's
grandmother. And the little Lena,
not questioning the sacrifice of the
one or the devotion of the other, is at
home now in th»- Peachtree street
mansion of Mrs. Huntley, and is be
ginning to be very happy.
Her past has been eventful, you see
—but it was very short: gauged (you
might say) by the tinyness of the lit
tle Lena herself.

MULE MEN PLAN

NASHVILLE, TENN., Feb. 16.
Atlanta is being considered as the
headquarters of the proposed Ameri

stock enterprise that is scheduled for
organization here to-day, many States
i participating in the movement that is
, to be formed to give recognition to
the mule as a distinct type and estab

animals.
The plan for the organization was
originated several months ago by Will
1 S. Williams, of Maury County, and
has met with enthusiastic encuurage
» ment from the mule raiser and deal
j ers over the country. Atlanta stands
third among the mule markets of the
United States and would perhaps de

the establishment of headquarters for
the new association. Only three other
cities are being considered. Nashville,
Louisville and St. Louis.
A live stock journal devoted ex

FUNERAL HALTER
BYDEMANDFDR
GRADE FEE
Attorney J. Spence McClelland
Monday threatened a SIO,OOO damage
suit against the Atlanta Cemetery
Association in behalf of the relatives
of Mrs. Lena Davis as the outcome of
a pathetic Incident Sunday when the
burial services for Mrs. Davis were
halted by Sexton William Plaigwitz's
refusal to open a grave or permit it to
be opened until he had been paid
$7.50.
Mrs. Davis died Saturday morning
at the home of her motnw., Mrs. Sa
rah Roper, No. 178 Ecno street, n-ar
the Exposition Cotton Mills. Know
ing the family to be in Impoverished
circumstances, neighbors proposed
Sunday that they go out to the North,
view Cemetery, formerly known as
Caseys Cemetery, and dig the grave
so as to avoid the expense to which
the relatives would be put in having
it dug.
Friends Offer Services.
Charles F. Sweat, George Fowler,
Thomas Fowler and a Mr. Crowley
took shovels and picks and went to
the family lot, which had been pur
chased before the Atlanta Cemetery
Association was formed. The funeral
was in progress and the grave half
finished when it is said that Sexton
Plalgwitz appeared and told the men
to stop, as they had no right to dig
the grave.
He added, according to tlie story
told by the men, that he would not
dig it until he was given $7.50. Mr.
Sweat told him that the mother of
Mrs. Davis did not have any money
to pay for the digging of the grave,
and the sexton Is said to have retorted
that that fact made no difference to
him.
The four, their picks and shovels on
their shoulders, hurried to the Raper
house, just as the little funeral cortege
was coming from the door. The body
was taken ba, k to the Poole under
taking rooms.
Manager Upholds Sexton.
"The sexton was wholly within his
rights," said S. P. Marsh, superintend
ent and manager of the Northview
Cemetery. "The incident was regret
table. but it was hardly to be avoid
ed. Plaigwitz could not do anything
but observe the rules and regulations
of the cemetery association. He would
have been disobeying orders had he
done anythin else.
"It is true that the lot belonged to
the family, but it was still subject to
the cemetery rules and regulation’.
The association, if the family is des
titute, as represented, will be very
glad to remit the fee for the digging of
the grave. In fact, we have notified
the family that the grave is open.”

CHURCH RIOT IS
LED BF WOMEN;
IDD INJURED
SOUTH BEND. IND., Feb. 16.
Warrants were issued to-day for 50
men and women of St. Casimir's Pol
ish Catholic Church, who were iden
tified as leaders of yesterday's riot
In which 100 persons were hurt and
the house of Father Stanislaus Gruza,
adjoining the church, was wrecked.
More than 2,000 persons, most of
them women, took part In the rioting.
A few shots were fired, but Mrs. Anna
Kowalski received the only bullet
wound. Her injury was not serious.
The police, deputy sheriffs and city
firemen made several attacks upon
the mob which surrounded the priest's
house. Clubs were used freely and
many rioters fell during the fighting.
Every time the police attempted to
make an arrest the mob overwhelmed
the officers and released the prisoners.
When the police began using their
clubs the rioters tore pickets from
the church fence and returned blow
for blow. Firemen attempted to
drive the crowd away with streams
of water, but members of the mob
cut the hose.
The trouble in the church started
more than a year ago with the ap
pointment of Father Gruza as pas
tor of St. Casimirs. The congrega
tion of 560 families refused to ac
cept him. The matter was carried
to the papal delegation in Washing
ton. Yesterday afternoon Father
Gruza attempted to enter his house
with a police guard.
After the police, failed to stop the
riot the mob went on with its work
of wrecking the priest’s house, stop
ping when it reached a crucifix un
der the portraits of Pope Leo XIII
and Pope Pius X.

Enter the New Embroideries
F Would you be transported into the middle of May?
Then visit the Embroidery Section to-morrow. Things are ready
as they are in May time, when Howers are coloring the gardens, when
the sun smiles, when caressing breezes attune the world to new life and
freshness and Spring.
Embroideries —the word does not express what we have to show you.
It has not been associated with such filmy, ethereal substances.
Seeing them we wonder how they were woven. What super-machine
could trace such delicate patterns, could wind a thread of the substance
of a spider’s web through the intricacies that result in this rose, this leaf,
this spray, this “conventional” design.
Small wonder, since we have such embroideries this season, that
embroideries have come into their own, that they shall enjoy a favor
they have not known in many seasons.
They lend themselves to the fashions, they are a part of the fashions.
Here are embroidered dress patterns, tiered and flounced, all but
ready to wear, some even show the net frillings at the bottom, many as
light as a tissue are weighted with heavy Venise edges. We speak or the
wonderful French crepes, the crepes neige that are to be likened more apt
ly to newly fallen snow than to woven cotton threads.
Other novelties are the aero cloth to be used for dresses, to be used
with silks, plain white, white with the daintiest little Dresden patterns
scattered across it, and plain shales of pink, blue and lavender.
Then there are the hand-embroidered nets, the batiste and net combi
nations, the crepe ami voile all-over embroideries, all white, white with
colors, to be used as tunics with the flouiicings—and the Dresden crepes
for waists, and bodices.
It is a wonderful display, a choice and a generous one—it includes
the 27-inch flouiicings that the young women will med, the exquisite
baby sets, the seamings, the headings, the edgings and the like.
Will you sec it to-morrow?

O.S.POSUL BONDS
FMTEIIS
Depositors in Local Bank to Get
Certificates Paying 2 1-2 ’
Per Cent Interest. !
Postal savings bonds will soon be
ready for delivery.
On January 1 some of the deposi
tors of the postal savings bank In At
lanta took advantage of the oppor
tunity given them by Uncle Sam’s
hank to buy Government bonds bear
ing 2 1-2 per cent interest. The bonds
will be dated January 1, 1914. but, on
account of so many having to be en
graved this year, have not yet been
delivered. It is understood they will
be ready for delivery in a few days.
Twice a year—in January and July
—the Government allows its deposi
tors In the Postal Savings Bank to
make application for bonds. These
bonds are of two kinds. Registered
bonds have names of depositors on
them. Coupon bonds are transfera
ble, and can be collected by anyone.
The Atlanta bank has been stead
ily increasing in deposits since It was
established a year and a half ago. Six
hundred and seventy-five depositors
have taken advantage of it. Some
$75,000 has been deposited. A bill has
passed the House and is now pending
in the Senate to remove the restric
tion on the amount that may be ac
cepted from each depositor as a postal
savings deposit, with the proviso that
Interest shall not be paid on more
than SI,OOO.
It Is thought that when this bitt Is
passed it will mean that the postal
savings deposits will double In a
short while. Since the bank was es
tablished the International money or
der business has been at a standstill,
which shows that foreign-born peo
ple are not sending as much money
away from this country a« heretofore.
