Federal Judge Newman Wants to
Find Out Just What the
Plant Can Do.
Judge* Newman, of the United
States District Court, proposes that
non-partisan engineers conduct a test
of the crematory "to And out what the
’ plant ran do.” He told representa
tives of the city and the New York
Destructor Company Tuesday he is
'anxious to get at the truth of the sit
uation, and will consider the question
again Wednesday.
"You gentlemen of both sides go off
and think it over," suggested Judge
' Newman, "and come back here to

"We will accept anybody of high
character and ability that you may
name,” said Attorney George C.

150 SEEK TO LYNCH NEGRO.
(By International Nawt Service ]
LOUISIANA. MO., April 20.—A
mob of 150 men, most of them armed,
carried a rope to the city Jail at 2
o’clock this morning and spHntered
the door in an effort to lynch John
Ecton, a negro who on Saturday night
stabbed William Prettyman.
LOUIS A. SEARSON,
One of the South’s Expert
Accountants.
"Please send us at once a compe
tent lady stenographer."
This was the telephone message re
ceived this morning by the Southern
Shorthand and Business University,
around on Mitchell street, from the
Fulton Spring Bed Manufacturing
Company, and immediately one of the
advanced students was sent out to fill
the position.
The Southern's mail this morning
contained the following letter from a
large cotton mill:
"We are ready for Mr. Herschel H.
White to begin work at once as ste
nographer and assistant office man.
Will he glad to have you send him
here as soon as you are satisfied he
has progressed sufficiently to do the
work.”
Mr. White has been a faithful stu
dent at the Southern, and will leave
Wednesday for the above position,
which Is awaiting him.
Mr. Louis A. Searson, of Allendale,
S. C. t one of the most expert ac
countants in the South, says in a let
ter received by the Southern:
m "It gives me pleasure to state that
I attribute my success as an expert
accountant to the training received
while attending your^ institution. I
consider the course of instruction at
the Southern superior to any I have
looked into and heartily recommend
it to those who desire a knowledge of
bookkeeping, accounting and stenog
raphy, based upon correct theories
and actual practice."
If you are looking for a position, the
quickest way to find one is to first
take a thorough course at the South
ern Business College, No. 10 West
Mitchell street. Ask Atlanta's busi
ness and professional men if this Isn’t
true.
Enter now. Don’t delay. Call,

Should you be approached by a
young woman with a piteous story
that she is "about to be thrown into
the street because of Inability to pay
her house rent," you had best look
sharp.
She might be the same mysterious
young woman who sought to "touch"
two business men, and who, accord
ing to their story, is working a fake
game. In fact, one of these business
men is satisfied, after shadowing the
woman for half an hour and seeing
her in conversation with three other
women and a man, that a gang of
these fakers has invaded Atlanta.
This man waseapproached by the
woman in Forsyth street. He said
she appeared not to be more than 20
years of age. Hhe told him that she
lived in a certain Suburb, that she was
destitute, and would be ejected from
her home If she didn’t Immediately
raise the back rent. Hhe asked him
"to lend har fifteen dollars."
Buspicious of her story, the busi
ness man questioned the woman
thoroughly and declined to advance -
the loan. The woman walked away
to the corner of Forsyth*and Mariet
ta streets, and the man walked across
the street to a cigar stand, where he
could watch her. At the corner she
was seen to Join three other women.
Then a man came up, and all talked
and laughed. lTho woman with the
piteous story tnen walked away down
Marietta street. The business man
waited several minutes more, but she
failed to return.
The day before, another business
man was accosted on a downtown
street by a young woman, who told
the same story of her troubles. She
was more successful this time, for the
business man let her have $10. But he
was a bit suspicious and followed the
woman. To his surprise, he saw her
enter a Whitehall street department
store. He walked In Just in time to
discover her In the act of making some
purchases.
"I guess I’ll Just take back my ten
dollars!" exclaimed the business man.
The woman handed back the bill
without a word of protest, and walk
ed hurriedly from the store.

Crazed Negro Beats
DeputyWith Hammer
•Tames R. Mlneks. of Fslrburn. deputy
sheriff of Campbell County, was serious
ly, perhaps fatally, wounded Tuesday
when a crazed prisoner In the county
ail at Fatrburu attacked and beat him
>n the head with a hammer.
Deputy Mi neks was walking down the
corridor of the Jail with a hammer In
hand when the prisoner, a negro named
Tom Swan, reached through the bars of
his cell and snatched the hammer. He
felled the officer with a single blow and
then. Mr. Mlneks lying against the bars
of the cell, struck his prostrate victim
four more times with the hammer before
help arrived for the deputy.
Davidson to Run
For Council in Ninth
v
S E. Davidson, candidate for Aider-
man from the Ninth Ward last fall
against Edgar Dunlap, said Tuesday he
would run for Council from the Ninth
\\ ai’d this fall to succeed Councilman
Charles W. Smith.
Mr. Davidson said while he was de
feated last fall, he received a majority
of the votes cast In the Ninth Ward,
and that he regarded this as an indorse
ment. for In a Councilmanlc race the
South Pryor street residents and
citizens of the South Side generally
were Jubilant Tuesday over the fact
that the Council overthrew Mayor
Woodward’s veto of the South Pryor
paving resolution Monday afternoon
and are looking forward eagerly to
the beginning of the paving work, to
be started soon.
The overthrow of the Mayor's veto
seems to be approved generally
throughout the city. There was a
widespread disposition to think that
South Pryor had suffered long
enough from unnecessary delays in
this paving matter, and that the
Mayor’s seemingly unreasonable ob
jections should no longer prevail to
hold hark the work. *
The Mayor, while keenly disap
pointed that his veto was set aside,
was inclined to view the matter phil-
osohophically.
Mayor Saya He's Sorry.
He did not speak in the strain in
which ne is accustomed to reply to
antagonistic moves to him by Council,
but said he was sorry, for he felt the
city had lost money on the Pryor
street contract and that the useful
ness of the purchasing department
was being destroyed.
I do not know to whom Alderman
Albert Thomson had reference In his
remarks about someone controlling
the purchasing agent, W.. E. Cham
bers, and threatening to discharge
him, but If he meant me his state
ment was incorrect." said Mayor
Woodward. "Mr. Chambers himself
will tell the Alderman so.”
The overriding of the veto of the
measure providing a brick pavement
for Pryor street, between Georgia
avenue and Vassar street, was ex
pected. The line-up developed, as
was predicted, only five of the twenty
members of Council standing by the
Mayor. When the paper reaches the
Aldermanlc Board Thursday after
noon It is said only one Alderman
will be with him.
Ordinance a Surprise
The Introduction by Councilman
Charles W. Smith, of an ordinance
taking from the Mayor the appoint
ment of the purchasing agent, which
means the control of the department,
was a bold stroke. The plan had been
kept secret, though 23 members had
signed the ordinance. The others
were taken by surprise.
On its Introduction Councilman A.
W. Farlinger made a plea on behalf
of the present organization of the
department, but his remarks fell upon
deaf ears.
•’’This is the first I have heard of
the ordinance,” said Counpilman Ed
win Johnson, “and I do. not know
whether I would favor it or not. I do
know It won’t be helping to get the
1 department out of politics by having
Council elect the purchasing agent.
Everyone knows there never yet has
been an election In the City Council
that wasn’t a political election."
Alderman Thomson laughingly re
plied there was no politics In Coun
cil. Then seriously he charged that
the purchasing department had been
dominated by one man, who had even
threatened to discharge the purchas
ing agent because he was offended at
his brother.
"All for Saving Money.”
"Will you also give that unnamed
person credit for saving the $74,000 in
purchasing supplies last year?" asked
Councilman Johnson.
"No," Replied Alderman Thomson.
"There are some things we are all
agreed upon. Saving money is one of
them."
Mayor Woodward undoubtedly will
veto the measure changing the pur
chasing department, but its support
ers claim they have enough support
pledged to override the veto. When
It finally is passed there is assurance
that Mr. Chambers, the incumbent,
will be elected.
The five members who stood by the
Mayor on the Pryor street veto were
J. N. Renfroe, C. L. Ashley, A. W.
Farlinger, William Johnson and Ed
win Johnson. The purchasing agent

This Is Plan of J. P. Faulkner,
the dead of Raoul
Foundation.
James P. Faulkner, head of the W.
G. Raoul Foundation’s anti-tubercu-
los-is campaign, who has Just returned
from an organization tour in South
Georgia* announces that plans are
under way to establish a community
and rural nursing service that will
carry the crusaide directly into the
home.
Mr. Faulkner Is proceeding along
the idea that while the sanitarium is
recognized as the best place for treat
ment and cure of the disease, only a
small per cent of sufferers can be
treated in instiutions and that the
disease, If conquered at all. must be
conquered In the home.
In addition to the nursing system,
he plans to establish with headquar
ters here a sort of correspondence
school, which will send out free lit
erature to all person sinterested. giv
ing the latest and best information
regarding sanitation, prevention and
treatment of tuberculosis. In addi
tion to furnishing this literature, the
foundation will endeavor to answer
special questions by letter.
To carry out the State-wide pro
gram the foundation will need much
larger resources than it now has, says
Mr. Faulkner, and the various locali
ties where the service is established
are expected to co-operate in financ
ing the movement.
Mr. Faulkner hopes to see Georgia
within the next few months take her
place in the forefront of the anti
tuberculosis fight.

Magnet Now Lifts
Tones From Piano
[By INtarnatlanal N«wi S.rvlc*.!
PARIS, April 20,—An electro mag
net, which is used in the manufac
ture of war munitions and the extrac
tion of missiles, has been utilized by
M. Bevierre, an engineer, to draw
sustained tones from stringed instru
ments, such as the violin, harp and
piano.
Perhaps Twas
Blue, tor All
He Knew
H I never naw a purple cotc,
I never hope to see one;
Rut I ran tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather sec than he one.”
The poet who said so might have
been a lawyer, so careful he was to
avoid the pointblank asseveration
that there is no such thing as a pur
ple cow. In law, you know, you must
take account of these things, as the
Georgia Court of Appeals did Tues
day in the case of Edmund Graham
against the .State.
Graham was convicted of stealing a
cow belonging to T. M. Paulk, which
was described in the indictment as a
"blue and white speckled cow.” A
witness who dug up the hide of the
slaughtered cow said it looked black
and white to him. Judge Wade, who
wrote the opinion, said that was close
enough.
"It is a matter of common knowl
edge,” he announced Judicially, “that
literally speaking no cow on this
mundane sphere is actually blue,
though cows of that color may browse
through the valleys of the moon,
graze along the banks of the canals
that seam the planet Mars, or disport
themselves in the realms of fairy
land.”
But, according to the vernacular of
Georgia, he continued, a cow desig
nated as blue may be a modified black
or black and white, or gray, or dove,
and the court must hold that blue and
white and black and white as applied
to cows are sufficiently alike to allow
a jury to think so.
But Chief Justice Russell did not
agree with him chromatically, al
though concurring in the general
opinion affirming the conviction.
There may be such an animal, he ven
tured.
“I am unable to express an opinion
as to the extra-mundane localities re
ferred to, and, furthermore, I am un
willing to state that it rests within-
my Judicial knowledge that there are
not cows that can be properly desig
nated as blue. I do not convict my
self to the proposition that a blue cow
con be called a black cow.”
Division in Augusta
OverExtending Levee
AUGUSTA, April 20.—A movement
to stop the flood levee at the Charles
ton and Western Carolina Railroad
tracks, three miles from the city, in
stead of running- it to the mouth of
Butler’s Creek, nine miles below Au-
guta, has been started in City Coun
oil.
The River and Canal Commission
strongly dissents from this view and
asserts that it will let fcontracts on
April 27 for building that portion be
tween the railroad and the creek. If
the levee is -not built that far there
will be back water in the streets in
times of floods, it is claimed.

CHICAGO. April 20.—Jacob M.
Dickinson, former Secretary of War,
and H. U. Mudge, president of the
Rock Island, to-day were appointed
receivers for the Chicago Rock Island
and Pacific Railway Company, on pe
tition of the American Steel Foun
dries Company. Federal Judge Car
penter, who heard the petition, fixed j
the bonds of the receivers at $100,000
each.
The petition of the foundries com
pany charged that the Rock Island
can not meet Its obligations of $5,-
000,000, which fall due'before May 1,
and that for the benefit of stockhold
ers, bondholders and creditors a re
ceiver should be appointed at once.
Otherwise, the petition stated, law
suits and attachments might tie up
the road’s business and cause it un-
nescessary loss.
Before the receivers were named
the railroad company entered an ap
pearance in which it agreed to all of
the charges contained In the petition.
The specific indebtedness on which
the suit for a receiver was based was
the claim of the foundries company
for $15,818.46.
The petition for a receiver stated:
"Unless this court steps in and ap
points a receiver, suits and attach
ments, the enforcement of liens, etc.,
in every court of jurisdiction where
the raUioad runs will tie it up so that
operation will be impossible, and it
will have to go out of business.”

cific Is the largest system that ever

County Plans Its
Work on Pryor Street
Plans for the paving by the county
of South Pryor street from Vassar
street to the Lakewood fair grounds—
a distance of nearly two miles—and
the building of an underpass at the
Southern Railway crossing will be
laid at a special meeting of the
County Public Works Committee to
be called this week by Chairman W.
Tom Winn.
It Is the purpose of the committee
to complete this Improvement
quickly as possible, for the reason
that South Pryor will form the main
artery from the city to the fair
grounds.
This work will be solely a county
project, ayd has no bearing on the
improvement of South Pryor to Vas
sar street, which work has caused
such a wide split between the City
Council and the Mayor. When both
jobs are completed. South Pryor will
be a splendidly paved drive all the
way to Lakewood.
Chairman Winn and the other two
committeemen. J. Oscar Mills and T.
J. Hightower. Jr., are anxious that
this work be done without delay, ahd
are expected to direct Superintendent
Hansell. of the public works depart
ment. to put an extra large force of
convicts on the Job.
Council Votes Wood
Blocks for Grant St.
The City Council Monday afternoon
adopted a resolution providing for the
paving of Grant street, in the Third
Ward, with wood blocks. The measure
will go to the Aldermanlc Board for
concurrence Thursday afternoon.
Councilman George Freeman led
the fight for wood blocks. He stood by
the anti-Woodward contingent In the
South Pryor street fight, and they
were equally loyal to him. Council
man Orville Hall, however, fought
wood blocks vigorously. He said it
was too expensive a pavement for
Grant street, and that there would be
a protest from property Owners when
the assessments for it were levied.
Want Young Bloods
To Speed Up Courts
[By International News Service.]
CHICAGO, April 20.—A demand
that four and perhaps six gray-haired
judges of the Cook County Circuit
Court retine was prepared to-day for
presentation by representaitves of the
Progressive party at the meeting of
the Republican organization commit
tee late this afternoon.
The Progressive contention Is that
the old men must be supplanted by
younger men, who can speed up the
work ot the courts.
The congestion of waste and
refuse from the stomach, ferment
ing in the bowels, generates poi
sonous gases that occasion distress
and Invite serious illness. Health
and comfort demand that this con
gestion be speedily relieved and
the foul mass expelled.
The well-founded objection most
people have to the violence of ca
thartic and purgative agents is
overcome by using the combina
tion of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug stores
under the name of Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin. A dose at night
brings relief next morning, without
discomfort or ificonvenience. A
free trial bottle can be obtained by
writing to Dr. W. B* Caldwell. 452

An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong
The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they'insist
on drugging their stomach or stuffing it
with greasy foods; rubbing on useless
"flesh creams.’’ or following some fool
ish physical culture stunt, while the real
cause of thinness goes untouched. You
can not get fat until your digestive tract
assimilates the food you eat.
Thanks to a remarkable new scientific
discovery, it is now’ possible to combine
into simple form the very elements
needed by the digestive organs to help
them convert food into rich, fat-laden
blood. This master stroke • of modern
chemistry is called Sargol and has been
termed the greatest of flesh-builders
Sargol alms through its regenerative,
reconstructive pow-ers to coax the
stomach and Intestines to literally soak
up the fattening elements of your food
and pass them into the blood, where
they are carried to every starved,
broken-down cell and tissue of your
body. You can readily picture the re
sult when this amazing transformation
has taken place and you notice how
your cheeks fill out, hollows about your
neck, shoulders and bust disappear and
you take on from 10 to 20 pounds of
solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is absolutely
harmless. Inexpensive, efficient. Jacobs'
Pharmacies and other leading druggists
of Atlanta and vicinity have it and will
refund your money if you are not satis
fied, as per the guarantee found In ev
ery package.
Caution:—While Sargol has given ex
cellent results in overcoming nervous
dyspepsia and general stomach troubles
It should not be taken by those who do
pot wish to gain ten pounds or more.
