New Romance May Replace One
Shattered by Elopement of
Savannah Girl.
MACON, July 23.-—Members
of the family of Dr. W. L. Pick
ard, President of Mereer Univer
sity, are inclined to the startling
theory that Miss Florence Mar
tha Pickard, his daughter was
drugged and, irresponsible when
she wed TLeverett R. Harrison,
her former sweetheart, after her
engagement to Karl Karsten. an
Oxford University (England)
graduate, had been announced.
The eloping bride sent frantic an
peals Wednesday to her mother in
Savannah, following a separation
from her husband of only a few days.
“Becanuse of my daughter’'s great
strength of character,” said Dr. Pick
ard Thursday, “we feel sure she was
taken advantage of by Harrison. The
affair iz 4 profound sorrow tq me, buti
it is something T can not help. I know
my daughter would not have acted as
she has unless she was overpowered.’
Suspect Soda Water.
The Pickard family has not made
the public charge that the girl was
drugged, yet there is a chain of evi
dence to that end concerning which
they are not reticent.
It is Xknown that Miss Pickard was
ill from fever, and that she and Har
rison on Friday of last week went to
a drug store in Savannah and pro
cured some soda water. Soon after
ward they hastened to a clergyman’s,
Miss Pickard succumbing to the fer-
vent appeals of her former sweet
heart, and wers married. The minis
ter, it is declared, has said he thought
the voung woman appeared and acted
peculiarly, but that he attributed her
behavior to her recent iliness. A few
hours after the marriage ceremony
the couple left Savannah, Harrison
disvlaying an eagerness to be away
before Karsten, Miss Pickard’s flance,
should arrive. And Wednesday, five
days after the elopement, Mrs. Pick
ard had a telegeram from her daugh
ter in New York State, begging her
mother to hasten to bher.
Macon and Savannah were aghast
at the news. Florence Pickard, was
the natural conclusion, has been
abandoned by the man who forced
her into marriage.
Turns %o Younger Sister.
Meanwhile, as heroes of the story
hooks have turned from fickle sweet
hearts to newer, kindlier love, Kars
ten is said to have found a balm for
his heart In the companlonship of
Miss Elizabeth Pickard, the vounger
and the prettier of the college pres
ident’'s daughters. Karsten, arriving
in Savannah fresh from England and
full of plans for his marriage, was
faced by the news that his bride-to
be had gone away with her former
sweetheart, The Pickard family sor
rowed with him, and received him in
to their Savannah home as .a we!-
comed visitor.
There was the yvounger sister, sym
pathetic and companionable. She was

New Haven Line Sued
. '
By U. 8. as Monopoly;
No Alarm in ‘Street’
NEW YORK, Juyly 28-—The United
States Government i{o-day began its
active prosecution of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
when the Department of Justice filed
a bill in equity in the United States
District Court here at noon to-day
against the New Haven road as a
monopoly.
The bill charged that the New Ha
ven has violated the Sherman act “in
various ways by restraining trade am’
commerce in the New England States,
and has acquired monopolies of rail
roads and water transportation and
trolley transportation in Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts and
New York.” /
The bill asks for a dissolution of
the alleged monopoly. It empha.sizes‘
the density of population in the ter
ritory involved, which, it is claimed,
makes the violation of the Sherman
act the more reprehensible.
Financial leaders professed to-day
to see no cause for alarm. They be
lieve the terms of dissolution ulti
mately to be decreed will conform
with the agreement tentatively reaci
ed in conference between representa
tives of the New Haven and the Gov
ernment.
New Haven stock opened unchang
ed, but dropped a half-point later
when trading in the stock stopped.

Brother of Missing Girls Is in
Washington to Induce U. S.
to Aid in Search.
Marshall Nelms Thursday laid be
fore Senator Hoke Smith in Wash
ington all the known facts of the dis
appearance of his sisters, Beatrice
Nelms and Eloise Nelms Dennis, for
whom a nation-wide but entirely un
successful search has been conducted
since July 9.
The voung man was given encour
agement that the Government would
undertake an immediate investigatiol
of the charges of misuse of the mails
which have been lodged against Vie
tor E. 'lnnea Portland lawyer, by the
members of the Nelms family, but
Senator BSmith regarded as doubtful a
probe of the allegation that Tlnnes
may have violated the Mann act
Along with these developments at
the national capita’ came an entireiy
new line of investigation in Atlanta.
This invelved a (horough inspection
of all the business papers of Beatrice
Nelms and interviews with all her
business acquaintances with a view
of determining if her affairs were in
such a condition as to furnish a mo
tive for her strange disappearance.
Meets Senator Smith.
It has been said that she was not
involved financially in any serious
way, but Attorney Reuben Arnold,
counsel for Mrs. J. W. Nelms, mother
of the missing girls, wanted to make
sure oun this point so that nothing
should bz overlooked in seeking the
reason for their disappearance.
Mrs. Nelms Denounces Agent.
A sensational incident occurred
Thursday on an ejevator in the Gouid
Building when W. O. Shellnutt, a
salesman for a medicine company.
was roundly denounced by Mrs Nelms
as having a part in the disappearance
of her daughters,
Shellnut 15 the man named in the
mysterious postcard and letter re
ceived by Mrs. Nelms from Asheville
and Canton, N. C. The letter was
signed by “C. Allen.” Mr. Shellnut
readily explained that he had no con
nection with the Nelms girls' dlsap
pearance, and said that Allen, once a
private detective, had become en
raged at him because of his testimo
.y in the Myrtie Hawkins case in
South Carolina, and had threatened to
hound him.
Nelms miet Senator Smith in Wash
ington at 12.30 o'clocik and presented
letters of introduction from District
Attorney Hooper Aiexander, Post
master Bolling H. Jones and Attor
ney Arnold, dispatches to The Ggor
gian said. The Senator took Mr.
Nelms into the President’'s room to
talk with him.
After looking over the letters, Sen
ator Smith said that the Department
of Justice had already held that the
Government had no jurisdiction 1o
invest.gate the Nelms case on the
charge of violating the Mann while
slave act, but it appeared probable
that the postal laws had been vio
lated by Innes yriting to Kloise as to
investments which he would make for
her, but which later were sald to be
fictitious.
To Mcßeynolds and Burleson.
Senator Smith Thursday afternoon
or Friday morning will introduce
Nelms to Attorney General Mcßey
nolds and Postmaster General Burle
son and Chief Postoffice Inspector
Johnson, €0 that he can lay before
them letters he has from Attorney
Arnold and District Attorney Alex
ander.
The letter which Nelms will submit
to the department is in the form of a
statement of the case in which Attor
ney Arnold holds that the white slave
law has been violated by Innes in in
ducing Mrs. Eloise Dennis to come
West to meet him, and that the postal
laws have been violated by Innes
representing that he was investing
her $lO,OOO in land and securities in
Mexico, Utah and Montana, which in

Orders Attorneys to Bring Action,
Denying Colonel’s Tirade
Against Him.
NEW YORK, July 23 —William
Barnes, Jr., chairman of the Republi
can State committee, often called
“Boss” Barnes, this afternoon stated
that he had authorized his attorneys
to bring suit for libel against Theo
dore Roosevelt. The suit will be based
on the statement issued by the Colo
nel last night, in which Roosevelt
said:
“In New York State the two politi
cal machines are completely domi
nated, the one by Mr. Barnes, the
other by Mr. Murphy. The State gov
lernment is rotten throughout, in al
most all ite departments, and this ‘s
ldirectly due to the dominance in poii
tics of Mr. Murphy and his sub
bosses, acting through such entirely
subservient agents as Governors Dix
And Glynn, aided and abetted when
necessury by Mr. Barnes and sube
‘boscos of Mr. Barnes.
| “Barnes and Murphy Alike.”
~ “Mr. Murphy and Mr. Barnes are
of exactly the same moral and politi
cal type. Not one shadow of good
comeés from substituting one for the
other in the control of our Govern
ment.
“hese bosses do not hold public
office themselves. They act throuzh
the holders of public office whom they
control. Yet they really form the all
powerful invisible government which
is responsible for the maladministra
tion and the corruption in the public
offices of the State.”
In making known his determination
to sue Colonel Roosevelt, Barnes is
sued the following statement:
“T have nothing whatever to say in
reply to Mr. Roosevelt's diatribe, ox
cept that it lacked dignity and self-|
restraint and is without foundation.
Denies Every Statement.
“When an issue of this kind is rais
ed by a person of such prominence,
one has but one of three courses:
Submit to the aspersions; enter into
an unseemly personal controversy, or
to appeal to the courts in order to
enable the person who utters those
libels to establish the facts as legal
evidence. 1 deny the truthfulness of
every statement made by Mr. Roose
velt in his publication this morning,
and I have instrubted my counsei,
lvins, Witloff and Hogue, to bring an
action for libel without delay against
him.
“The issue in the primary canvass
of the Republican party is in no way
related to me, and the issue between
Mr. Roosevelt and me will be judi
cially determined.”

defi to the three House members of

which hag been investigating the In
dians’ complaints,
He said the inquiry would go for
ward.
“We shall show how a ring of cattle
men have leased the Indian lands by
sharp bidding and have overbid their
competitors because they made a
practice of grazing stock on the In
diang’ allotments, in deflance of law.
“If the Indians made a fuss the cat
tle men would not buy their hay, or if
they bought it they would bargain for
it by measurement and then only in
winter, when its volume had shrunk
to a minimum. 1 am told that one
man has made a million dollars from
the Indians at the Crow reservation in
Montana by these outrageous meth
ods.”

Motion for Roll Call Friday Sus
tained—Delay Asked to Con
vince Opponents.
~ After leaders of the House of
\ . ¥
Representatives had analyzed
the child labor situation in Geor
gia, and in stirring and convine
ing speeches pointed out that the
remedy iies in the enactment of
laws that will take the little
children from slavery in the
mills and factories and give
them a chance to acquire at least
the rudiments of an education to
equip them for the battles of
life, the Sheppard child labor
bill won the first clash when the
measure came up for considera
tion Thursday. ’
The test came when Representative
J. E. Sheppard. of Sumter County,
the author of the bill, asked unani
mous consent that the debate be ex
tended from 12:40 o'clock Thursday,
the time to which it was originally
limited, to the same hour Friday.
There was objection to the request.
Motion Tests Strength.
It becante apparent at once that the
opponents of the Sheppard bill were
trylng to force the measure to a vote,
telying on the misunderstanding tha:
exists among certain members as (o
the provisions of the bill te carry
them through to viétory.
Mr. Sheppard then put his request
in the form of a motion. It was
plainly a test vote on the Sheppard
bill and the Dorough amendment.
which has been accepted by the au
thor of the bill and others supporting
it.
} The line was plainly drawn between
the advocates and opponents of the
rbm—and ™Mr. Sheppard’s motion car
lried overwhelmingliy.
Leaders of the House regard the
vote on Mr. Sheppard’s motion as in
dicative of the final wote when the
rmeasure rcaches the poll call stage
Friday.
~ The Sheppard bill, bafore the House
adjourned, had one vote recorded Lor
it.
Stone Votes for Bill.
This is the vote of Representative
Stone, of Dawson County, who asked
that he be permitted to cast his voie,
as he will be unable to attend I'ri
day's session. Mr. Stone voted for
the Dorough amendment and tLhe
Sheppard substitute, and against (he
Moon substitute. Half a dozem other
memnbers tried to get the consent of
the House to cast their votes the same
way, but it was refused.
The debate on the Sheppard bill at
Thursday's session developed some
of the strongest speeches members
of the House have heard W recen:
years. Those who spoke in favor of
the bill were Representatives Robert
Blackburn, of Fulton County; BSamuei
Olive, of Richmond County; Dorough,
of Franklin County, and Smith, of
‘DeKalb County.
