Thaw is belleved to be secluded In his Beechwood boulevard home there, detectives are soouring the city for the slayer of Stanford White today.

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 written copy of a statement written in Ink under pressure by Frederick Gump, the boy accuser, Tl\o document set forth, the detective said, in abject terms, that the writer was the “slave” of Thaw, and that he had been beaten by his “lord and master” at will.

DENVER, Jan. 10.—“ Buffalo Bill"” 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. lB 11 T'fl uffalo Bill' Title Willlam F. Cody was born in Scott County, lowa, February 26, 1848. Mis father was a frontiersman, who was killed vbl(?t defending a wagon train from an attack by Indians. Cody, when still young, became a erack shot, and while still in his teens took his place among the men of the frontier in the dangerous work of keeping the wagon trails open be twaen settlements, In 1860 he hecame a Government “pony express” rider, but soon after Joined the Seventh Kansas Cavnlré. in which he rgerved through the Civil War until he was mustered out in 1865, He earned his title of “Buffalo Bill" In 1887, when the Kansas Pacific Rallroad was under construction by killing buffaloes to supply the work men with food, In 1872 he was elected to the Ne braska Legislature. When the Indian wars broke out in 1876 he offered his services to the Government as a scout, In the battie of Jhdian Creek he rode out In front of the battle Yner and met the Cheyenne Chief, Yellow Hand who, at the head of his braves, had taunted Cody to a duel with hunting knives, Cody killed the Chief atfer a hand.to-hband combat which was not interfered with either by the In dlans or Cody's followers, For his services during the Indian wars Cody was made chief of scouts, with the rank of colonel, and re mained In the service of the Govern ment unti]l the Indian troubles were finally settled. Following his discharge from the army he came Kast and was enticed on the stage by offers from various enterprising theatrical managers. His early ventures for the most part were fallures, and he returned to Wyoming. In 1888 he came East with the first Wild West show ever seen in this country. His success was almost in. stantaneous, and his show grew in size yearly, He mada a tour of the world with his aggregation of rough riders and Indinns, and was decorated b(v:lmon svery monarch in Europe, fle in Russia he concelved the idea of bring ing back to America a band of Ural Cossacks gud the success of this ven. ture induced him to add Arabs, Sin. galese, Japs, Bouth American Gauchos land representatives of almost every Bation in the world to his show, 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.,™ : TO MOVE TO CITY MHALL, When the Finance Committes ad. Journed its formal session Wednes. day, a conference was held with members of the Hoard of Edueation, and it virtually was agreed that new quarters for the Hoard of Education would be provided on the fourth floor of the City Hall M a “ LSV S2en Yantaghe ang oo fonh 2 o= SEnAure s 0 box DIXIE LIMITED, VIA THE W. & A.

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.” James W, Maddox 11l Of Blood Poisoning James W.
