DEPOSED GREEK RULER DENIES RENOUNCING CROWN
: (By Universal Service.)
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11.—Follow
ing the sensational Assault upon her
by Eugene Waliter, the playwright, in
ihe Alexandria Hotel, Miss Nina
Whitmore, a moving picture "actress
and formerly a member of “Ziegfeld's
Foliies,” has filed a $50,000 damage
suit against the playwright.
Walter is confined to his room ftn
the Hollywood Hotel, “suffering from
a nervous collapse,” according to the
report. He would make no statement
except to say he deeply regretted the
~ episode.
- 'With her right eye bandaged and
the other flashing indignation, Miss
~ Whitmore denounced Walter’'s act as
~one inspired by Jjealousy.
“Mr. Walter struck me fdur times
with his fist, and one of the blows
" rendered me unconscious,” Miss
‘Whitmore said. “I have been tacitly
" engaged 10 Mr. Walter for more than
a year, and we were to have been
married as soon as he could procure
a divorce from his wife.
r JEALOUSY HINTED.
“] attended a social affair at the
home of a well known film producer
Wednesday evening without consult
ing Mr. Walter, or permitting him to
accompany me.
“He came to my room the next
morning ard demanded admission. 1
was not up and refused to let him in.
I told him to come back in twenty
minutes, but he jumped up on the
doorknob, shattered the transom and
precipitated himself into my room.
“He charged me with having re
ceived attentions from other men,
and then struck me without giving
me the chance to explain.
“l was home from the party to
which Mr. Walter objected not later
than 11 o'cleck. I am told Mr. Wal
ter paced the floor during my ab
sence, all the time brandishing a re
volver with which he said he would
kill me.”
WALTER’S STATEMENT.
“The entire incident is one of pro
found regret,” said Walter shortly
after he had been taken to the Cen
tral Police Station following the “in
cident.” “I have only the highest
‘regard for Miss WHItISHE™ 1
‘Walter posted SIOO for his appear
anee in Police Court: te answer to
a battery charge, but His a owl
appeared before the judge and ‘an--
nounced that his client had suffered
from a nervous collapse and could:
not attend. His time to enter a
plea was therefore set for next Tues
day morning. S {
Miss Whitmore did not appear in
court. Instead she consulted an at
torney and informed him that she
tiad been damagea py the assault,
and the action asking $50,000 damages
was the outcome. There is already
a report that the sait will be com
promised.
Los Angeles Affair to -
Bring Reconciliation
(By Universal Service.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Charlotte’
Walker, the actress, wife of Eugene
Walter, intimated in an interview
that ‘he difficulty in which her hus- |
ban? has become involved in Los
Angeles may result in reuniting him
to her after a separation of nearly
tihree years.
“In a crisis like this my place is
by my husband,” she declared, with
spirit. “No matter what my plans
muy have been, I certainly will not
seek a divorce now. No true wife
would desert her husband in an hnur(
of trial; and I shall not leave Mr.
Walter. Nothing is so unimportanti
in my life as a bad woman. Al
though my husband has caused me!
untold anzuish and suffering, I,lovel
him. I have loved him from the very
first, and always shall. He is a won
~ derful man. I am too happy for words |
that he has seen the light. I knew
he would, sooner or later.”
The following telegram was re
ceived by Miss Walker from her hus
band:
“I want to be the first to tell you
that I am involved in a disagreeable
scandal which will inevitably result
in a certain amount of publicity. The
difficulty has reso'ved itself into an
attempt to obtain money from me,
but I think I shall defeat it. My chief
regret is the annoyance and just in
dignation i: will cause you. 1.0ve.”
Miss Walker immediately wired
Back that she would stick by her
husband.

Dry America Shipping
. Liquor to Wet Britain
LONDON, Oect. 11.—While “Pussy
foot” Johnson is trying to prohibi
tionize Britaia 4,006 barrels of Amer
ican whisky have arrived on the
steamship Georgeanna at Weems
from “dry” America. The supply of
whisky in Britain is large, but the
government is letting out only lim<
ited quantities, so Friday’s recelipt
has delighted the market here.
Moreover, it is rye, and about al
the whisky available in Britain is
Scotch. Four millien gallons of rum
also were made available, due to the
fact that it arrived too late for the
army’s use.

~ PARIS, Oct. 11.—France's sea fleet
which now totals 1,443,000 tons, and
which for the needs of the country
should amount to 6,000,000 tons
(equivalent of the power of the Ger
man merchant fleet before the war)
will not reach the latter figure by her
own means for seventeenjand perhaps
35 years. This is the result of a
careful study by a naval expert, who
based the figure of 17 years on the
‘highest yearly production in France
during a period of 10 y#ars, and the
other figure, 35 years, in the average
production during the same period,
running from 1904 to 1913, inclu
sive.
. During 1914, 15, 18, 17 and .18,
France launched, respectively, 114, -
052, 25,402, 42,750, 18,828 and 13,715
tons. In the same length of time the
figures for Great Britain were 1,683,-
530, 650,919, 608,235, 1,162,896, 1,348,-
120. For the United States, they
‘were 200,762, 177,460, 504,247, 999,919
and 3,033,030,
‘ The United States and Great Britain
'will supply France each with 500,000
tons, according to promises made by
their governments, but no time limit
has been fixed for the delivery.
France also expects to get 500,000
‘tons worth of German boats, but this
is not a certainty. There still re
‘mains a deficit of at least 3,000,000
‘tons which the United States built
in one year, during the war, but as
the French government decided not
to buy any more tonnage abroad in
‘order to keep the money inside the
'country, although the raw materials
are lacking, the situation is almost
‘'hopeless, and threatens to remain so
for years to come.
It is quite possible that the French
government,, seeing the mistake, will
soon change its policy and realize
that the French builders have enough
to keep them busy in repairing and
maintaining the present fleet without
‘having orders that they can't fulfill.
It is interesting to compare the sea
power of the ten richest nations be
fore and after the war. Great Brit
ain came first with 18,892,000 tons,
then Germany, 5,135,000; Norway, 1,-
957,000; France, 1,923.000; Japan, 1,-
708,000; British Dominions, 1,632,000;
Hollard, 5,472.000; Italy, 1,430,40;
United States, 1,076,000; Austria, 1,~

BIRMINGHAM, Oct. Il.—Law
rence A. Fealy, bishop of the Al
turian cult, Friday was likened unto
Jesus Christ with disciples following
him as the twelve holy men did the
Savior, by Mrs. Emily Carpenter of
Madison, who testified in the Obear-
Fealy case in Chancery Court here.
This testimony began the fourth day
of the litigation in which William
Gray Obear, formet army major, is
seeking an injunction tp stop Fealyl
from using his so called hypnotic
powers over Mrs. Legare Obear, the.
former major's wife and to prevent
Mrs. Obear from dissipating her for
tune through this alleged occult in
fluence.
Under a rapid fire of questions‘
from Judge S. D. Weakley. one of
‘he attorneys for Obear. Mrs. Car
penter testified that she joined the
society and became a follower of
Fealy and. his doctrine in Atlanta in
1912. She declared she went to him
bhecause she had heard he could cure\
disease and heal bodily ills and that{
she was ill. Mrs. Carpenter said she!
went to Fealy from her home in
Madison and at that time Fealy hadi
his ofices In the Piedmont Hotel in|
Atlanta. The treatments consisted
of living in accordance with the doc
trines of Christianity, she testified,
but she admitted that Fealy some
times aided these doctrines by put
ting his hands on her head for a few
seconds.
PAYS $250 A LESSON.
The life Fealy leads is a manifes
‘tation of the spirit of God .within
him, Mrs. Carpenter testified. Each
treatment, she declared Fealy 'spent
only a few seconds with her,
“He told me that anybody who led
a Christian life could heal as he
did,” She said.” “T know he~ has' the
power of healing,” she added. Mrs.,
Carpenter: ceuld not remember, sh@
said, whether or not Mrs. Legare
Obear ever took treatments from
Fealy in the Piedmont Hotel. Mrs.
Carpentér took a course of lessons
from Fealy, she testified, consisting
of a large number of. typewritten
pages of which Fealy was'the author!
and that she paid $250 for them,
paying for the lessons was not com
vulsory, she declare.d Members who
could not afford to pay for them
got them free.
Mrs. Obear got her lessons while
she was living in Madison, Mrs. Car
penter testified, but Mrs. Carpenter
said she did not know what Mrs.
Obear paid for them.
EVERYONE ELIGIBLE. -
Mrs. Carpenter disclosed that she
had gone through the “White Cross”
degree several years ago, having re
ceived a ring which was symbolic of |
the initial step in the society. Later,
she said, she- received the “Black
Cross.” Then, she testified she told
Fealy she desired to become a dis
ciple. She said she was still work
ing toward the “Master’'s degree,”
which is signified by a white cross.
Feally wears a white cross set with
a diamond.
The only persons she knew who
had the white crosses set with dia
monds were Feally and Miss Grace
Smith of Birmingham.
In Feally's opinion, she declared,
every one is eligible for the mas
ter’'s degree, if they work toward
that end.

Gen. W. B. Haldeman, of the Louis

memorial fund. General Haldeman is
in Atlanta, and his addrass on Davis,
‘appearing in the Courer-Journal,

fssusd Daily and Entered as Second-Class Matter at
the Postoffice at Atlanta Under Act of March 3, 1879,
|
Because Atlanta is without facili
ties for handling cold storage prod
ucts this city may not receive the
benefits of the governmém‘s liberal
reduction on the prices of frozen
lmqats now in storage in packing
houses, and soon to be placed on the
Imurkm, according to a statement is
sued Friday by Mayor James L. Key.
A reduction of the prevailing
prices on meats and frozen commodi—‘
ties has been received by Col. M.
Giray Zalinski, zone supply officer for
thig district, in which the high cost
of living along this line is reduced
approximately 200 per cent.
Carload lots of frozen comomdities
will be sold by the government to
municipalities on a thirty-day credit
extension with the understanding
that not more than 10 per cent of the
original price can be charged for
handling and dispensing the prod
ucts. |
Mayor Key said Friday that a
number of local firms with ample;
cold storage facilities had signified
their willingness to handle the com
modities, but n odefinite agreement
had been entered into between the
city of Atalnta and these firms to
dispense the commodities.
The government, according to Col.
Zalinegki, has several million pounds
of beef, pork, mutton and other meats
gtored in warehouses in Chicago and
New York that will be sold to mu
‘niclpulities at greatly reduced prices
provided that carload lots consisting
of 30,000 pounds are included in the
orders,
Mayor Key says he intends to as
certain whether Atlanta merchants
will handle the commodities and
hring about an understanding imme
diately on the situation. L

PARIS, Oct. 11.—[ never renounced
the crown. I simply left Greece in .
order to facilitate the solution of in
terior problems during the war.
It is utterly false to say that I
favored an alliance between Greece
and the central empires. All that [
sought was prolongation of neutral
ity in view of Greece’s unprepared
ness and total lack of arms and mu
nitions.,
It was my duty also to consider tha
sitnation of the numerous Greeks in
Turkey who were - exposed to tha
gravest danger in case we went into
the war on the side of the allies.
These alone were the considera«
tions that forced me to adopt the
neutral policy to which I adhered in
spite of the loss of the throne.
It was pure folly to accuse me of
plotting an attack on General Sar
rail’'s army from the rear. The mer
lest military novice should: recognize
the absurdity of that charge and the
impossibility of such an eventuality.
The French minister at Athens
himself admitted to me that it Wal“li
a fantastic fabric of the imagination,
whereupon I wrote him:
l “Tell this to your government. Da
not confine your admission to my~
lselt only.” !
Besides, how could any rights
minded person consider war between
Greece and Great Britain possible
when a glance at the map proves
such a step to be inconceivable from
our standpoint? 2
But these are all matters of the
past, Greece must now assure the
safety of her future which will be
best accomplished by means of an
Italo-Greek alliance. The two na
tions are closely related racially and
have the greatest similitude of ine
terests. :
I am therefore glad to learn that
accord on a durable basis is at this
moment being established between
Italy and Greece, under which it is
agreed that Greece shall get Thrace,
which is only right from every stand
point. >
Naturally the Turkish question oc«
cupies a ‘large portion of my
thoughts. Will Turkey be broken up
into small pieces?
The hesitation of the allies on this
point is quite comprehensible. My&
own opinion is that the only method
of establishing order in the Near
East is to give the various peoples
making up the Turkish nation an
opportunity to decide their own w:;ll--.,,;‘";l
tical fate and accomplish their ucixfi
development in an atmosphere of
freedom.
