LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11,—Follow
ing the sensational assault upon her
by Eugene Waliter, the playwright, in
the. Alexandria Hotel, Miss Nina
,gtllmtmore, a moving picture actress
nd formerly a member of “Ziegfeld’s
Foliies,” has filed a $50,000 damage
suit against the playwright. |
Walter is confined to his room in
the Hollywood Hotel, “suffering from
a nervous collapse’” according to tne
report. Me would make no statement
e€xcept to say he deeply regretted the
episode. ‘
With her right eye bandaged and
the other flashing indignation, Mlssl
‘Whitmore denounced Walter's act as
one inspited by jealousy. 1
“Mr. Walter struck me four tfhes
with his fist, and one of the blows‘
rendered me unconscious,” Miss‘
‘Whitmore said. “I have been tacitly
cengaged 1o Mr. Walter for more than |
a vear, and we were Lo have been
Earrled as soon as he could procure
divorce from his wife. .
JEALOUSY HINTED.
“T attended a social affair at the
¥3me of & well known film producer
ednesday evening without consult-{
ing Mr. Walter, or permitting him to
accompany me.
“He came to my rdoom the next
grorning and demanded admission. !
'was not up and refused to let him in.
I told him to come back in twer\tv‘
minutes, but he jumped up on the
doorknob, shattered the transom and‘
Pprecipitated 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.
“I ,was home from the parly to
which Mr. Walter nbjected not later
than llrgclcck. I am told Mr. Wal
tor pac® 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 incidgent 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 Wh&tmore.”
Walter posted SIOO for his appear
ance in Police Court to' answer to
a battery charge, /but his attorney
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.
Miss Whitmore did not appear in
court. Instead she consulted an at
torney and informed him that she
had been damagea by the assault,
and the action asking $50,000 damages
wag the outcome. There is already
a report that the suit 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 L.os
Angeles may result in reuniting him
to lLier after a separation of nearly
tihiree years.
“In a crisis like this my place is
by my husband,” she declared, with
gpirit. “No matter what my plans
may have been, I certainly will not
seck a divorce now. No true wife
would desert her hushand in an hour
of trial, and I shall not leave Mr.
Walter, Nothing is so unimportant
in my life as a bad woman. Al
though my husband has caused me
untold anzuish and siffering, I love
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
yhe would, sooner or later.”
;l)/ The following telegram was re
ceived by Miss Walker from her hus
band:
“] want to be the first to tell you
that I am involved in a disagreeable
scaindal which will inévitably result
in a certain amount of publicity. The
difficulty has reso'ved itself into an
attempt to ohtain money from me,
bat I think I shall defeat it. My chief
regret is the annoyance and just in
dignation i: will cause you. Love.”
Miss Walker immediately wired
back that she would stick by her
husband. ‘

They faced and solved a gigantic
proposition and all Atlanta realizes
that the success of this the greatest
reunion ever held in the Souath has
been propelled by their leadoership, it
was said. The committeemen spoke
of their appreciation of the co-opera

Five Dead, Twelve Burned
In Tank Ship E plosion
PHILADELPHIA, Oect. 11.—Five
men were killed and a dozen others
were burned, three probably fatally,
in an explosion on the tank steam
g¢hip Chestnut Hills here Friday. Two
were first reported killed, but late
Friday afternoon five bodies had been
recovered and idemtified. The explo
sion was so terrific that one man was
blown to fragments and another badly
mangled.
ATLANTA, GA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1919
' BIRMINGHAM, Oect. 11—Law
rence A, Fealy, bishop of the- Al
{‘urian 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 foux:th day
of the litigation in which William
Gray Obear, former army major, is
seeking an injunction to stop Fealy
from using his so ecalled 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-'
‘luence.
Under a rapid fire of questions
from Judge S. D. “‘eakley,‘ one of
~*he attorneys for Obear, Mrs. Car-i
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 h'iml
hecause she had heard he could cure
disease and heal bodily ills and that
she was ill. Mrs. Carpenter said she
went to TFealy from her home in
Madigon and at that time Fealy had
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 thdt Fealy some
‘times aided these doctrines by put
iting his hands on her head for a fewi
seconds. \
’_ PAYS $250 A LESSON. J
The life Fealy leads is a manifes
tation of the spirit of God within
rhim, Mrs. Carpenter testified. Each
treatment, she declared Fealy spent
only a few seconds with her. ‘
L “He told me that anybody who ]ed‘
a Christian life could heal as he:
did,” She said. “I"know he has theJ
power of healing,” she added. Mrs.“
Carpenter could not remember, sheJ
said, whether or not Mrs. Legare
Obear ever took treatments froml
Fealy in the Piedmont Hotel. Mrs. !
Carpenter 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
pulsory, 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 dgo, 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-l
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 towardl
that end.
HEARING AWAITS BUTLER.
Proceedings in the tangle were
halted temporarily late Friday after
noon to await the arrival of Col. Ed
ward F. Butler, wealthy Georgian,
who, according to testimony alrgady
adduced, was one of the princigals
in the “Altrurian match” recently ar
ranged by Bishop Fealy.
White (dibson, attorney for Fealy,
announced to the eourt that Colonel
Butler and his newly-wedded wife
are on their way to Birmingham from
Madison, Ga., and that he expects to
put them on the witness stand Mon
day.
Colonel Butler is said to be the
“rich old fellow” whom Fealy and
Mrs. Legare H. Obear wanted to
“marry off,” according to testimony,
and the “girl in the case” was to
give the Altrurian Society SIO,OOO
when the “match” was made. Colo
nel Butler was married about three
weeks ago, it is stated by witfesses
who have ben heard.

When some stranger knocks on
your door during bleak January and
immediately begins to talk to you in
rapid-fire fashion something like this,
“Howoldareyou, married,singledordi
vorced, colorsexandage, likecreamin
yourcoffeeornot?”” don't be alarmed—
it's only the census man.
They're going to take the census
here in At?anta during the first two
weeks in January, beginning January
2, so look up the old family Rible,
find out all about yourself and your
family and be ready to tell the census
taker your real name,
Already the blanks have arrived for
the instruction of the census takers
and the government has even exceed
ed its rceord in the income tax matter\
in the entangled language it uses in
telling you what you must do.
MARSHBURN IN CHARGE.
Capt. Walter O. Marshburn will
have charge of the census in the Fifth‘
District, which includes Atlanta. .He}
has established offices at 27 1-2 Ex
change place, but the census will be
’over before you can ever find out
awhere Exchange place is. Its in the
Atlanta Theater building, and even
after you find the theater it takes a
couple of hours to find the office of
the census man.
’ But after you find Captain Marsh
burn you will get all the information
}you want in six blanks containing
‘about 10,000 different sentences ex
plaining what you must do. After
fyou have read over the government
‘explanation blanks and copies of the
Congressional Record containing the
debate in both Houses of Congress
you know less than,when you started.
‘Then it's a good idea to ask Captain
‘Marshbum a “few questions and get
the information quickly and in more
understandable form.
“STAFF 1S FORMING.
" The census taking here will requirel
about 250 enumerators. Captain
| Marshburn {s now forming his staff
land is receiving many applications.
|The enumerators will be paid for the
number of blanks they sign up in
’each family. The government is to
pay not less than two cents and not
more than four cents for each person
in cities whose name 4s taken in the
census. This is from two to four
cepgts more than some of the names
are worth in Atlanta, but the old"
saying “that fellow ain’t worth a
cent” 18 forever shattered—they're |
‘worth at least two cents to the gov-‘
ernment, anyway,
} The pay in the rural districts is
to be not less than 20 cents and not
Imore than 30 cents for each farm
reported; not less than 20 cents and
’not more than 50 cetns for each ir
rigation or drainage enterprise re
ported, and 10 cents for each barn
‘and enclosure containing live stock
not on farms. In some cases the
census director has authority to fix
the per diem pay based on the diffi
culty of securing names, :
Qualifications and duties of the
census enumerators are set forth as
follows:
DUTIES OF ENUMERATORS.
The act of March 3, 1919, under the
provisions of which the fourteenth
census of the United States is to be
taken, provides for the appointment
of supervisors of census, one or
more to each State, the Distriet of
Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii and Porto
Rico, to have general supervision
within their respective dstricts of
the enumeration to be made in Jan
uary, 1920. One of the duties im
posed upon these supervisors by the
census act is the designation of suit
able ibrsons to be employed, with
the consent of the director of the cen
sus, as enumerators within their re
spective djstricts. - It is further pro
vided that such persons shall be se
lected solely with reference to fit
ness, and without reference to their
political party affillations.
Under the provisions of the census
act, the enumeration in January,
1920, is restricted to inquiries relat
ing to population, to agriculture, to
manufactures, to forestry and forest
products, and to mines and quarries,
but, under the discretionary power
vested in the director of the census,
the inquiries relative to manufac
tures, to forestry and forest products
and to mines and quarries will for
the most part be collected either by
special agents appointed directly by
the director or by employees of the
Census Bureau specially detailed for
that purpose. “
The census act provides that the
enumeration of population and agri
culture shall begin on January 2,
1920, and that each enumerator shall
complete the work required in his
district within thirty days in the case
of rural districts and small” towns,
and within two weeks in teh case of
any incorporated city, town, village
or borough which had 2,500 inhabi
tants or more under the census of
1910, 1
The law requires that an enumera
tor, so far as practicable, be an ac
tual resident of the subdivision with
in which his duties are to be per
formed. He should be familiar with
its territory and the general charac
ter of its people,
ACTIVE MEN WANTED.
The census requires as enumera
tors «ctive. energetic persons of
good address. They must be be
tween 18 and 70 years of age, citizens
of the United States, and be thor
oughly trustworthy, honest, and of
good habits. They must have at
least ordinary education and be able
to write plainly and with reasonable
rapidity,

the hand of the superyisor .of the

f CITIZENS MUST HELP.
~ Captain Marshburn said that it is
particularly important that all eiti
zens of Atlanta co-operate fully 'in
giving complete information to the
enumerators, He said Atlanta has
not taken in much additional terri
tory since 1910 and that if the city
is to make the showing it should make
that the names of all persons should
be turned in to the enumerators.
One thing Atlanta people must be
careful about this census is in giving
the names of people who live in
double houses. Captain Marshburn
says much of Atlanta’s population is
found in houses occupied by two or
more famijlies,
He particuarly stresses the impor
tance of giving all the names in each
family. He said many cases have oc
curred where an enumerator would
visit a house and would be told only
one name, Later "a second visit
would be made and it was found that
the occupant of the house had failed
to say that hls‘tathfr and mother or
children were also living there.
"Wh;}\ did not know you wanted
them,” would be the statement given
the enumerator,
TO AVOID “SKIPPING.”
Captain Marshburn says such in
stances were innumerable in the last
census and he hopes to avoid it in
the coming tabulation,
_ The census rules require the enu
meration of all people “in theif place
of abode.” This means usually where
people sleep. Attention is called to
the fact that there will be many peo~
ple )vhose “usual place of abode” is
in a’certain district who are not per
sonally in the district at the time the
enumeration is Tnade. These must be
enumerated, the information to be ob
tained from the family, relatives or
friends. This is an important thing
Jn Atlanta as many Atlanta men are
traveling ‘salesmen and many other
citizens are in other cities attending
school or for other purposes when
the census is taken. *
It is well to note also that every
person must answer the questions
asked by the enumerator,” The law
requires it and sever penalties may
be inflicted for refusal, . }

PARIS, Oct. 11.—! never renounced
the own. 1 simply left Greece in
ordjto facilitate the solution of in
tterior problems during the war.
It is utterly false to say that I
favored an alliance between Greece
and the central empires. All that I
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 the
situation of the numerous Greeks in
Turkey who were exposed to the
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 a.rrhy from the rear. The mer
est military novice should recognize
the abgurdity of that gharge and the
impossibility of such an eventuality,
- The French minister at Athens
himself admitted to me that it was
la fantastic fabric of the imagination,
whereupon I wrote him: i
| “Tell this to your government. Do
not confine your admission to my
self only.” o
Besides;, how could any right
rmlnded person consider war between
Greece and Great Britain possible o
when a glance at the map proves
such a step to be inconceivable from
our standpoint? ;
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 in
terests. -
1 am therefore glad to learn that
accord on a durable basis is at this é
moment being established between =
Italy and Greece, under which it is
agreed that Greece shall get THrace,
which is only right from every stand- V
point. A
Naturally the Turkish question oc- w‘;
cupies a large portion of my ’*s
thoughts. Will Turkey be broken up
into small pieces? :3
The hesitation of the allies on thiz
point is quite comprehensible. My f
own opinion is that the only method
of establishing order in .Ahe Near b
East is to give the various peoples
making up the Turkish nation an ‘f:f
opportunity to decide their own poli
tical fate and accomplish their racial
development in an atmosphere of
freedom.
