lOM FELDER, ON oTAND
TELLS OF CUTTING AFFRAY
Thomas B. Felder, on the stand
Wednesday in Judge Ben Hill's court,
described in detail the attack alleged
to have been made upon him in the
Kimball House on the night of Au
zust. 3, for which G. K. Vason, of
ollege Park, was on trial, charged
with assault with intent to commit
murder. Mr. Felder was given a
cross-examination by Ben Conyers,
counsel for the defense.
“I did not know Vason, except by
sight,” said Mr. Felder, in reply to
opening questions. “I had seen him
at the door of the House of Repre
sentatives, but did not know his
name,
“I went to the Kimball House on
the night of August 3 -about 7 o'clock
te attend a caucus of the anti-recall
faction in the Legislature.”
“Were you taking an active part in
the Savannah recafl bill legislation?”
asked Luther Z. Rosser, of counsel
for the State.
“A very considerable part,” said
Mr. Felder. “I directed all the legis
lative movements against it.”
Saw Two Men, He Says.
“The caucus was being held in
Room 106, he continued. “As I had
another engagement I addressed the
meeting early and left the room. I
turned through the corridor into the
main hall and started for the Harris
headquarters, Room 119.
“At the corner of the hall near De
catur street I saw two men. One of
them was Vason and the other a
taller man with a moustache, who I
never saw before nor have seen
since. They stepped in front of me
and obstructed the passage.
“Vason said: ‘This is Tom Felder,
now, and the tall man put out his
hand as though to shake hands. I
extended my hand and he grasped
and held it in a tight grip. He
looked toward Vason, who sald:
‘That's the damned scoundrel that
killed our Savannah bill’
“Then he added: ‘He’s the scoundrel
who said he was going to camp on
Bill Burwell’s trail.” (Mr. Burwell was
Speaker of the House.)
“l 1 said: ‘Gentlemen, there is no
difference between Mr. Burwell and
me, and no need of any trouble here.
1 jerked my hand loose and tried to
sidle down the hall
Swears Vason Cut Him.
“Vason put his hand in his pocket,
as though to seize a pistol, and kept
turning in my way. I knew t)aere
were people in room 119, and tried to
reach it. Just then Vason jerked his
hand from his pocket, and I saw the
flash of a blade. He lunged viciously
and stabbed me.
“We continued to struggle, and I
tried to drag him into room 119. We
got into a room where there were
three men, Ryals, Jordan and Arnold.
I called them to help, but they grab
bed me. We had fallen over a trunk.
Y told them to get the other man, as
he was stabbing me to death, and
then they separated us, escorted him
to the door and liberated him. I was
placed on a bed and afterward sent
to St. Joseph’s Hospital.”
Dr. Willls Westmoreland testified
as to the extent of Mr. Felder's!
wound, a deep and dangerous cut. Mr.
Felder stood before the jury, opened
his clothing and showed the scar in
his body. He was put through a
cross-examination by attorneys for
both sides. |
Examine Felder's Knife.
Several witnesses were called to !
identify a sm‘fi?\knife in a leather
case as one taken from Mr. Felder's!
pocket immediately after the affray.
et dantified it, and said it had
been in the case, which was snapped
tight, and bore no blood stalns.
This testimony was taken to an
swer a statement made by Vason just
after the affray that “if Felder was
stabbed, he did It himself with his
own knife.”
Dr. C. M. Ledbetter, of Guyton, tes
tiied he was in the Kimball lobby]
A woman came into a Menter Store

son, a few feet away, say to some
bedy:
“I told him if he continued to camp
on Bill Burwell’'s trail as Cole Blease
camped or his I would kill him.”
“] asked Vason if he was the man
who stabbed Felder,” said Dr. Led
better. “He answered, 'lf Felder is
stabbed he did it himself with his
own knife,"”
Jury Held Together.
After the cross-examination of Mr,
Felder, Judge Hill adjourned court
until 9 o'clock Thursday, announcing
he would hold members of the jury
together, .
The jury was selected from the Grand
Jury lists, despite the protest of the
defense. Four panels were drawn and
the following men were selected for
srvice: J. H. Hilsman, R. A. Donalson,
F. J. Merriam, Fred W, Cole, M. C,
Strickland, D. B. Baker, M. S. Harper,
E M, Page, W. T. Wattg, B. F.
Cox, B. W. Lovett and E. L. Hum
phries.
The defense was represented by Ben
Conyers, who challenged the taking of
the Grand Jury lists from which to
choose the trial jury. His objection
was overruled by Judge Hill, who
himself had ordered this to be done.
The State was represented by Solici
tor Eb. Williams, whd was assisted
by Luther Rosser and John A. Boy

up the work of examining the wit

Elder’'s Testimony.
The first witness called was H. A.
Elder, Representative from Tattnall
County. He said that the evening of
the stabbing he was attending a con
ference in the room of W. E. Stubbs,
either No. 108 or No. 109, Kimball
House, The meeting had been called,
he said, to discuss plans for fighting
the attempt in the Legislature to re
call Savannah city officials. He said
both Felder and Vason were in the
room and Felder was addressing the
chairman ot the caucus when he no
ticed Vason walking around Felder,
apparently “sizing him up.” 1
Elder sald Felder announced at the
close of his talk that he was going
to the headquarters of Governor Har
ris, on the same floor of the hotel,‘
and left the room. Vason, Elder said,
left the room shortly before Felder
did. FElder said he next saw Vason
near the elevator shaft on the floor
on which the conference had been |
held, and later saw him in the custo
dy of the police. |
Elder, on cross-examination, said
Vason, so far as he knew, was not
fighting the recall, and never before
had attended one of the conferences
of the anti-recall men. |

German-Atlantans Wednesday were
discussing with interest the good
time they had Tuesday evening at
the celebration of “German Day” at
the Turnverein Club. The principal
feature of the celebration was an ad
dress by Dr. W. Mueller, German
Consul of the Southeastern District.
Dr. Mueller declared the Germans
were not alarmed over the advance
by the Allies, the German successes
having been far more important than
those of the enemy.
F. E. Radenslaben declared signs
of early peace were in evidence; that
a German emissary had been in Pet
rograd all summer, and steps were
being taken toward arbitration.
Miss Ruth Oppenheim, coloratura
soprano, sang ‘“‘Caro Nome” and Ali
bieff’s “Nightingale.” Miss Ethel
Philipson, vin]inist, played a Hunga
rian air. Dancing closed the pro
gram.
Alonzo E. Wilsen, of Chicago, founder
of the chautauqua circuit idea in Amer
ica, was speaker at a lunchecn at the
Chamber of Commerce Wednesday when
a number of leading Atlanta citizens
met with officlals of the Alkahest Ly
ceum System and the newly founded
Lincoln Chautauqua.
Mr. Wilson’s subject was “The Re
lation of the Chautauqua to Community
Building.”! He is president of the new
Lincoln Chautauqua, which will have
headquarters in Atlanta and which will
be affiliated with the Alkahest System.
Governor Harris was among those in
vited to the luncheon.
Bandage Materials
An appeal to Georglans for gifts of
cotton or linen for making surgical
dressings was made Wednesday by the
Georgia section of the National Surgi
cal Dressings Committee, of which Mrs.
F. E. May is chairman. The materials
will be sent to IFrance.
Mrs. May asks for castaway table
cloths napkins, pillow cases, sheets, cot
ton blankets or anything that can be
converted into bandages. The only re=-
guirement is that they be clean. They
lghould be gent to room 414, Grand Bulld

PAULINE THURSTON.
They’ll soon be dancing Honolulu
style right here in Atlanta.
More than that, doing the “regu
lar” Hula Hula with the approval of
all censors.
Take the word of dainty Pauline
Thurston for it. Such already is the
case in rapid-pacing Newport, says
Miss Thurston. She introduced the'
fad herself at a brilliant flesta there.
“And Atlanta,” she points out, “isn’t
so very far behind Né&Wport.”
Which means, says Miss Thurston,
that Atlanta is to progress in point
of culture and artistic appreciation.
Also she thinks that dancing will in
crease very perceptibly in popularity.
The dancing of Miss Thurston, one
of the foremost exponents of the
dances of the islanders, features Gar
ry McGarry's spectacular Hawalian
dance pantomime, which is one of
the headliners of the Keith vaude
ville bill at the Forsyth this week.
The Hula Hula she does at the For
syth is nearer like the dance as it is
executed In Hawail than ever before
offered in Atlanta, critics declare.
The dance is quite proper and artis
tic when offered amid Hawaliian set
tings, says little Niiss Thurston, and
quite the opposite when presented on
a side-show platform.
Miss Thurston is a Southern girl—
a native of Dallas, Texas.

The ‘Journal of Labor, of which Je

the publication of a daily issue, in
which the interests of the sirikers are
to be given due publicity, The first
issue said that, while the three daily
newspapers of Atlanta were entirely
in harmony with union labo» and
employed union men in all d :part
ments, they could not be expected to
devote more space daily to the strike
than the news developments justified,
and for this reason there was a need
for an official organ to aid the street
car men in winning their fight. Strik
ing carmen 'Tuesday evening were
selling copies of The Journal of La
bor on the streets, ana will continue
to do so.
Sheriff Mangum has announced
that, since there no longer is any dis
order in connection with the strike,
he shortly will dismiss many of the
special deputies who have been guard
ing the cars and the trolley com
pany’s property. At the meeting of
the Police Board Wednesday evening
at 8 o'clock, the policemen likely will
be put back on the eight-hour sched
ule. They have been on twelve-hour
shifis since the strike began.

A motion plcture event that is being
lookea forward to by all lovers of the

Georgian Theater for Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week. On those
days there will be presented Paul Swan

It is a pleture of extraordinary merit.
The nymphs, in their classic dancing,
