About State Capitol
|
| Charles 8. Barrett, high muck- |
a-muck of the National Farmers'
Unjon, has just returned from a ;
fishing trip in Bouthern Florida, |
and is entertaining folks about
the State Capitol with wonderful
tales of the Everglades.
Of course the feature of his
discourse Is about that big fish
he caught. Mr, Barrett swore
that it was as long as the elong
ated body of Oil Inspector Roane
and as big around as Hal Stan
ley. He sald he gave it to the
people in one of the small towns
he visited and they cut it up and
sent each neighbor an equal por
! tion, hauling the slices around
on wagons.,
l While the story about the fish
might have been exaggerated a
wee bit, Mr. Barrett vouches for
the truth of his statement that
the Everglades section of Flori
da is going to be the most won
derful spot on earth when the
water is drained off.
“The one great ambition of the
people there” sald Mr. Barrett,
“is to get the Kverglades drain

(By International News Service.)
PITTSBURG, PA., May 18.—From
100 to 200 workmen are estimated to
have been killed, probably as many
more were seriously injured and the
'plant of the Aetna Chemical Com

lplmaly wrecked by a series of six

soda house and a few seconds later
T. N. T. tank went off with a tre

other explosions. The last one scat
tered the ruins in all directions.
Officials of the company are un
able to explain the cause of the ex
plosion and Department of Justice
agents were hurriedly sent to the
scene., i
A special train with doctors and
nurses was sent from Pittsburg and
the inJured are being brought to hos

An undertaker who rushed to
the scene estimated the dead at 170,
He said that every other man in the

victims of the explosion. Roberts wasg
picked up on the road about a half
mile from the plant, where he had
been blown. He probably will live.

Conklin, Up Ten Years for Bur
glary, Charged With Plot
ting New Theft,
A remarkable story of romance, de
ceptign and alleged plot, in which a
pretty New York singer and actress,
Miss Mabel MacDonald, at one time
with the "“Pink Lady” Company and
who also hag appeared at the Hippo
drome, and H. R. Conklin, sent up for
ten years from the Atlanta courts for
burglary, figured as the principals,
and in which nearly $2,000 worth of
diamonds and jewels played an im
portant part, was revealed Saturday
in Judge T. O. Hathcock’s division of
Municipal Court.
The young actress, who is stopping
at the Hotel Ansley and who was said
to have been lured here by the con
vict, who represented himself as a
contractor, was accused of attempting
to aid him in a plot to fleece the Dur
ham Jewelry Company out of sev
eral hundred dollars’ worth of dia
monds and jewels. Conklin, accord
ing to the theory of detectives, had
planned 'to raise money on the jewels
with which to obtain his freedom, it
being understood that he had ex
pected to have his sentence reduced to
a fine,
The charges were not heard in
court, however, for the reason that
Attorney Harvey Hlll, for the jewelry
company, just before the case was to
be called, asked that the warrant be
dismissed, which was done,
Conklin, who was a stranger in At
lanta, stopped at a prominent down
town hotel during his brief stay in
the city. He was arrested, accused
of burglarizing the office of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company and
stealing a typewriter, and was con
victed in Judge Ben Hill’'s division of
Criminal Court, being given a sen
tence of ten years. Prior to his con
viction he had figured in the courts
in other matters. :
According to the story, as related
by detectives, Conklin met Miss Mac-
Donald in Atlanta, shortly before his
final arrest, while she was playing a
theatrical engagement here. After his
arrest he was said to have com
menced a correspondence with her,
addressing his letters to the Somerset
Hotel in New York, where she was
living. While in the Tower Conklin
was said to have given his address as
a certain number on Butler street,
Wwithout any intimation that he was
in jail. Following his conviction, he
first was sent to the prison farm at
Milledgeville, at which place he was
said to have posed as a contractor.
Later he was removed to the conviet
camp of Hall County, mear Gaines
ville, where he continued to pose as a
contractor, it was said.
Finally he was said to have re
quested the actress to come to
Gainesville, promising her a good the.
'atrical engagement. When she ar
rived there she was met by a letter
‘fmm Conklin in the conviet camp,
confessing his deception and his
plight, and asking her to see_him in
the camp, it was said.
- In the meantime Conklin, it was
charged, ordered the diamonds and
jewels from the Atlanta concern, rep
resenting himself as “J. B. Davis,” of
Laula, Ga.,, and inviting the jewelers to
ipvestigate his financial standing.
This was done, and his order was
given the O. K. The real J. B, Davis
is a wealthy planter of Lula. The
jewels were ordered shipped to
Gainesville, and it was then that the
New York woman was said to have
come on the scene. Detectives
charged that she communicated with
the Atlanta jewelers and asked that
identification be waived, in order that
she might receive the jewels, as Da
vis was out of the city. She was sald
to have represented herself as Davis’
sister.
The jewelry concern became suspi
cious, however, and Detectives Luther
Green and Claude Jameson were de
tailed on the case, with the result that
Miss MacDonald, who had come on to
Atlanta, was arrested.

To the Public:
Following President Wilson’s suggestion and injunction, hundreds of communities the
country over have sanctioned and granted increased rates for public utility companies, to pre
vent the failure of their service under the stress of abnormal times.
We present herewith another list of such increases, taken from the more than 500 similar
cases in the United States.
The public in these communities—large and small—is awake to the danger of present con
ditions.
Will Atlanta similarly awaken?
