“Mr. Thaw will prove his innocence

“From what I have learned, I am
positive the accusations made in this

the public to held judgment in abey

Attorney Stone declated Thaw was
not In Pittsburg, but “somewhere in

HILADHLPHIA, Jan, 10.—Despite

to be secluded In his Beechwood
boulevard home there, detectives are
soouring the city for the slayer of
Stanford White today.
Reports that Thaw and his follow

detectives to belleve Thaw may be
hiding here still, and they are follow

'Dotoctlv. Bernard Flood, of the
New York Distriet Attorney's office,
sald today he felt certain that Thaw
would be apprehended within a few
days, and expressed satisfaction at
the arrest of the man who gave his
name as Oliver Brower, and who |ls
held under bonds of $1,200,
“l am convinced that we have not
rot the wrong man,” sald Flood. “At
east we have found on this man some
remarkable evidence in the shape of a
statement,
“This statement was part of start
llng documentary evidence the man
possessed, and not only connects him
and many others with the case in an
important manner, but it will prove
the sullt of Thaw and O'Byrne.”
O'Byrne was indicted with Thaw,
and is supposedly a bodyguard for
Thaw. Detective Flood belleves that
O'Byrne Is none other than Brower,
now in custody, |
The statement which was taken
from Brower, Food says, is a type

is dead.
The end came to the famous old
scout, whose real name was Colonel
Willlam F. Cody, at 12:05 this aft
ernoon at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. May Cody Decker, while his old
time friend, Johnny Baker, was rac-
Ing across the continent to see hlml
once again before he dled. ‘
At his bedside when the end came
were his wife, whom he married in
1886; his two daughters, Mrs. Decker
and Mrs. Irma Cody Garlow, of Cody,‘
Wyoming; his sister, Mrs. Julla Good- |
man; his nephew, Will Cody Bradford,
and several grandchildren and other
relatives. |
“Buffalo BIll” had been failing rap
-Idly for several weeks. He was
rushed to Denver a few days ago in
& dying condition. For the past three
days his death had been hourl{ ex
pected but the reanarkable vitality of
the famous old plainsman alded him
in the struggle for life,
~ Shortly after daylight he began
sinking rapidly and doctors realized
the end was at hand.
To the tall, straight plaineman
whose abundant white halr fell to his
shoulders it seemed that he suffered
only from a cold and with his iron
will he thought that hg could resist
the onslaught of disease,
Once last night in his delirflum he
arose and went through the panto
mime of dressing in the old costume
~those watching saw him put on the
old leather coat, buckle the wide belt,
fit on the leggings and spurs as he
asked “What time does the big show
start?" making Indian signs. Then
he got back into bed saying he would
rest a while.

Willlam F. Cody was born in Scott

services to the Government as a scout,
In the battie of Jhdian Creek he rode

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
DIRE NEED OF SCHOOLS
S PUT UP TO COUNGIL
If all the people in Atlanta could
have sat through the session of the
Council Finance Committee Wednes
day morning and heard the appeals of
both men and women for funds for
rellef from certain conditions in the
city schools, there perhaps wouldn't
be 80 much talk of protest against the
proposed increases in tax and water
rates,
Mrs. V. H. Kriegshaber, of the
Board of Lady Visitors of the Bchooll}
Department, recounted a visit of her
board to a certain school that mada
one despise the selfishness and mean- |
ness of petty politics. And the facts
she revealed showed, more than any
of the big improvements plans that
have been discussed, what a 4 pathetic
plight city finances have to come to,
“lLast year, you remember,” she
sald, “you gave us an appropriation
of $250 for penny ‘lunches for the
schools. The schools where they were
needed were without gas and we
couldn’t use the appropriation, turn
ing it back into the city treasury.
Want an Appropriation.
“Now we are able to establish some
of these penny lunch kitchens, and
we want an appropriation,
“To show you the need of them 1
will tell you of a visit of our commit
tee to the——— Street School. (The
name of the school is omitted for ob
vious reasons.)
“We made a canvass of the school
to leggn how many children came
without lunches. There were 166—
one-third of the school. 1
. “Many of these sald they had had
no breakfast that morning. |
“We looked at some of the lunches
others brought. One little girl had a
small onlon and a hard biscuit. A
little boy had a piece of cold fish and
a plece of cornbread.
“We know, gnuemen. that the city
is hard up. ere Are several other
schools in the city where the children
are in just as bad a fix. Some of the
children are being almost starved,
Yot we are only asking you for SIOO
this year."
Other Conditions Described.
That is not an isolated case. Mrs.
Goorr Obear, Jr., described the
Moreland Avenue School building, in
A section of attractive homes. The
children who go there have good
lunches. They come from cultured
homes.
“The oity is paying SIOO a month
for a school bullding out there that is
not worth more than sio, except to
burn fuel,” she sald.
“It is an old patent medicine fac
tory. All around it are old broken
bottles. The first story is below the
level of the street. The building
leaks,
“There is an unusual amount of
sickness among the children out there
during the winter season,
“Some 250 cohildren attend there.
There are 500 in the nelghborhood
who ought to .be In the Moreland
Avenue School.
~ "Gentlemen, we ask you again, as
‘We have year after year, please give
us a decent school bullding.”
That wasn't the end. J. . Ward.
law, assistant superintendent of
schools, remarked In an aside:
“There are four or flve sections
Just as badly ofr.” g
Committes Glven Faets.
R. J. Guinn, president of the Board
of Education, got up and shot facts
At the committee with the rapidity
of machine.gun fire. Here they are,
unadorned with Major Guinn's embel.
lishing diction, but none the less im
pressive:
There will be at least %00 appit.
cants for admission into the high
schools next year for whom there will
De NO seats, |
The grammar schools will have an
overflow of 1,000, |
The number of negro chiMren who
will have no place to go to school will
total 5,000,
Every negro teacher today is teach-
Ing double sessions, or 120 puplls to
the teacher, In places that are not fit
to teach anything.
The new compulsory education law
imposes a penalty on parents who
don’t send their children to school.
Who Will Lose Seat?
“Whose child is going to be elim
inated ?” he asked.
“Unless something is done, 1,800
white children are going to be kept
out,
“Are you willing to say whose chil
dren they shall be.
“Are we going to leave the negro
children to grow up wild? If we do,
our own children some day will pay
the price in viclous, lawless people
about them.”
Of course, all of the school system
is not In s 0 bad a fix. Some of the
scholos are the equal of any In the
country, just as some people in At
lanta llve in palatial homes and ride
about in limousines. It Is doubtful if
but very few of the fortunate people
in Atlanta know that little children
are going to school here half starved.
Gwohflan as Remedy.
The broadér view of the situation
was revealed in the general outline of
e#chool improvements. The S:medy for
the overflow suggested y Major
Guinn was the plan of four junior
high schools, taking the puplls from
the seventh grades of the grammar
schools and the first grades of the
high schools,
Outlining the bigger plans of the
BSchool Department, Major Guinn said
he was convinced that the high
schools should be run all the year,
“Many children are denied a high
achool education,” he sald, “because of
the limited sessions and the hours.”
He declared the high schools should
be kept open all the year, from 9 a. m.
to 10 p. m.
“It will not do to turn away chil
dren who are knocking for admission
into the public -choolt" he sald.
Limited Grades Suggested.
Willlam H. Terrell is cg.lrmm of
the finance committes of the Board
of Educatlon,
$He explained that the board planneq
to limit the negro schools next year
to six grades, substituting for the
seventh grade a year of industrial
training. .
The budget contemplated big things,
As have been outlined from time to
time in the papers. The thing that
stood out, though, in the plea for
monoi for schools was this:
“Why should men kick so on paying
a little more water rate and a little
more taxes when little children are
forced to go to schoo! in places as
bad as old stables, and many of them
sit at their desks all day suffering
pangs of hunger.,™ :

shooting, Miss Yeakey did not answer
for a time. At last she said:
“I'd rather it hadn’t happened,”
Miss Yeakey was ignorant of her
brother’s incarceration in the Tower,
and inquired whether he had been
hurt in the affray with Donehoo. She
was greatly agitated and unstrung.
The mother said she had learned
only last Sunday of the true situa
tion as to the alleged jilting.
“Gordon 1s a good boy, and he
wouldn’t have done this thlng if he
hadn’'t had plenty of reason—he's al
ways tried to keep out of trouble,”
said the mother in defending him.
Mrs. Yeakey was greatly distressed
by the double trouble that had come
into her home. She declared her fiur
pose of doing all in her power to help
her son.
At the Wesley Memorial Hospital it
was reported Wednesday that young
Donehoo had rested through the night
as well as could be expected, but that
slight hope was entertained for his
recovery.
| Two Bullets Hit Donehoo. ‘
' Two bullets fired by Yeakey took
effect, one passing through the left
lung and the other through the low
er part of the neck. Mrs. Donehoo,
the wounded man’s bride, who stood
close by him in the doorway of the
‘home at the time of the shooting, said
’Yeakey fired three other shots, one of
them smashing the lamp she was
‘holding in her hand. Yeakey had gone
’to the Donehoo home and summoned
Donehoo to the door, and was said by
Mrs. Donehoo immediately to have
commenced firing without a word of
warning, Mrs. Donehoo had aoccom
panied her husband to the door to
hold a light for him.
Mrs. Donehoo formerly was Miss
Sarah McClelland, of Marietta,
Yeakey Refuses to Talk.
Yeakey Wednesday declined to
make any statement as to the shoot
ing. He merely remarked:
“I don’t think there is any necessity
for me to say anything at this time.”
Relatives of young Donehoo assert
ed that Miss Yeakey had been ex
tremely jealous, and that the fact
that he had married Miss McClelland
formed the basis for the shooting.
Donehoo 1s a distant cousin of Coro
ner Paul Donehoo.
Mrs. Donehoo, the brlde‘ was al
most overcome by the shooting of her
husband. She declared that when he
was called to the door by Yeakey he
had no thought of trouble, and that
he was shot down without a chance
to save himself,
Mrs. Donehoo told of Miss Yeakey's
infatuation for Donehoo
She Introduced Them.
“I introduced Paul to Lily Yeakey,”
she said. “We werg working for the
John W. Moore Optical Company
then, in the summer of 1915. Llls"
must have gone wild over him, for
Paul told me how she used to call
him up. One day he sald she had tel
ephoned him and proposed to him.
This was last summer, in Leap Year.
He sald he laughed and told her he'd
have to get his father's consent. But
she called up his father and asked
him for Paul. His father told her
not to be foolish and hung up the
telephone.
“Lily told me she was going to
!marry Paul, but T told her she had
the wrong idea, for Paul was going to
marry me. And in October we were
married.
“Ldly called him up next day and
every day since. A few weeks ago
her brother began to worry Paul,
threatening to take out & warrant for
him for breaking his promise to Ldly.
Monday night Yeakey came out to the
house and talked with Paul, who told
me those people are bothering me
again.’
“Last night about 7 o'¢clock there
was a knock at the door, and Mrs.
Queens answered it. She sald a man
wanted to see Paul. He went to the
door and there was Yeakey. Both
sald, ‘Good-evening,’ and there was a
pause, as though they didn't want to
talk before us. Paul kept saying, ‘T'll
see you downtown tomorrow, while
Yeakey said, ‘No, see me right now.’
At last he said, T'm going to close
this right now.' He stepped off the
porch into the yard and told Paul to
come out. Paul refused, and Yeakey
drew a pistol and began shooting.”
