lOM FELOER, ON STAND.
TELLSOF GUTTING AFFRAY
Thomas B. Felder, on the stand
Waednesday in Judge Ben Hill's court,
described in detall the attack alleged
to have been made upon him in the
Kimball House on the night of Au
gult 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,
CO\'lln!ell for the defense,
“I did not kpow Vason, except b
sight,” sald Mg. Felder, in ropll’;' 5
opening questions, “I had seen him
at the door of the House of Repre
sentatives, but did not know his
name.
“lI went to the Kimball House on
the night of August § about 7 o'clock
to 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” saild
Mr. Felder. “I directed all the legis
lative movements against it.”
Saw Two Men, He Says.
“The caucus was being {eld in
Room 106, he continued. “As I had
another engagement I addressed the
meeting early and left the room. I
tarned 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 gaid: ‘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 wsald:
‘That's the damned scoundrel that
killed our Savannah biil.’
“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.)
“I sald: ‘Gentlemen, there is no
difference between Mr. Burwell and
me, and no need of any trouble here.
I jerked my hand loose and tried to
sidle down the hall.
Swears Vason Cut Him.
“Vaaon put his hand in his pocket,
as though to seize a pistol, and kept
turning in my way. I knew there
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 lungad viciously
and stabbed me.
+ “We continued to struggle, and I
tried to drag him into room 118, We
got~into a room where there were
three men, Ryals, Jordan and Arnold.
I ecalled them to help, but they grab
bed me. We had fallen over a trunk.
I 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,
TFelder 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 small knife in a leather
case as one taken from Mr. Felder's
pocket immediately after the affray.
They identifled it, and said it had
been In the case, which was snapped
tight, and bore no blood stains.
This testimony was taken to an
ewer a statement made by Vfl?‘" Just
after the affray that “if Felder was
stabbed, he did it himself with his
own knife.”
Dr. C. M. Tedbetter, of Guyton, tes
tified he was in the Kimball lobby

son, a few feet away, say to some
body:
“I told him if he contigued to camp
on Bill Burwell's trail as Cole Blease
camped on his J would kill him.”
“] asked Vason if he was the man
who stabbed Felder,” sald Dr. Led
better, “He answered, ‘lf Felder is
stabbed he did it himself with his
own knife.'"”

Felder, Judge Hill adjourned conrt

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
pall 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.”
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. Elder said he next saw Vason
near the elevator chaft 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.
Br. 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. 1. Radenslaben declared sikns
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 All
bieft’s “Nightingale.” Miss Ithel
Philipson, violinist, played a Hunga
rian air. Dancing closed the pro
gram.
e
Alonzo E. Wilson, of Chicago, founder
of the chautaugua clrcuit idea in Amer
jca, was speaker at a luncheon at the
Chamber of Commerce Wednesday when
a number of leading Atlanta citizens
met with officials of the Alkahest Ly
ceum System and the newly founded
Linecoln 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 affiiated with the Alkahest System.
Governor Harrls was among those In
vited to the luncheon.
Bandage Materials

Requested for French
An appeal to Geourglans 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 chaitman. The materials
will be sent to France.
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
quirement is that they be clean. They
should be sent to room 414, Grand Bulld

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
They'll soon be dancing Honolulu
style right heré in Atlanta. .
More than that, doing the “regu
lar" Hula Hula with the approval of
all eensors.
Take the word of dainty Pauline
Thurgton for it. Such already is the
case in rapid-pacing Newport, says
Miss Thurston. She introduced the
fad herself at a brilliant fiesta there,
“And Atlanta,” she points out, “lsn't
so very far behind Newport.”
Which smeans, 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 Hawallan
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 Hawaii than ever before
offered in Atlanta, critics declare.
The dance is quite proper and artis
tic when offered amid Hawaiian set
tings, says little Miss Thurston, and
quite the opposite when presented on
a side-show platform.

The Journal of Labor, of which Je
rome Jones is editor, Tuesday began
the publication of a dally issue, in
which the interests of the strikers are
to be given due publicity. The first
issue said that, while the three daily
newspapers of Atlanta were entirely
in harmony with unfon labor and
employed unfon\men in all depart
ments, they could not be expected to
devete more apace daily to the strike
than the news developments justified,
and for this reason there was & need
for an official organ to aid the street
car men in winning their fight. Strik
ing carmen Tuesday evening were
selling coples of The Journal of La
bor on the streets, and will continue
te do so.
Sheriff Mangum has announced
that aince there no longer & any dis
order in connection with the strike,
he ghortly 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 llkely wiil
