THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
NOTED BALLOONSTRESS,
MRS. JULIAN P. THOMAS,
• TALKS OF MANY THINGS
She Just Loves Aeronautics, Reporters, Auto-
ing and Pretty Clothes, Does This
Noted Ex-Atlantan.
BEING OBSERVED
EXERCISES BEING HELD AT
THE CAPITOL.
A ERONAUTICS, reporters, auto
mobiles and remarkably pretty
clothes are among: the avowed
objects of the love of Mrs. Julian P.
Thomas, wife of Dr. Julian P. Thomas,
the former Atlantan, and noted mem
ber of the Aero Club of New York, who
Is in Atlanta, nnd who granted a gra
cious Interview Monday morning, Just
before she left the hotel for a shopping
trip on Whitehall street.
Mis. Thomas, an Ohio woman, lived
In Atlanta two years, while her hus
band, the champion nmateur aeronaut,
conducted a sanitarium on Forsyth
street. She said Monday morning that
she still considered Atlanta her old
home, and that It was not so ylow
down here. She arrived here Saturday
morning from New York and has a
suite of rooms on the fifth floor of the
Piedmont hotel. Traveling with her
are her two children and' a maid.
As a reporter called Monday morning
to see Mrs. Thomas, a handsome wo
man was Inquiring of the clerk where
she could buy some stamps, while In
her hand she held several unmatled let
ters, one of which was addressed to
Dr. Julian Thomas. The reporter In-*
traduced himself nnd wns cordially re
ceived by Mrs. Thomas, who said sho
would be exceedingly glad to tel! him
anything he wanted, for she understood
reporters so thoroughly.
Loungers Were Interested.
The wife of the high-flying doctor
attracted much attention from the
rather large crowd of loungers In the
lobby of the hotel, as she walked to
the cigar stand to purchase stamps. A
woman of striking figure, a wealth of
blsck hair In decided contrast to her
pink and white complexion, and attired
In an accordion-pleated pique walking
suit, the Jacket of which, trimmed in
black art medallions, partly concealed
a waist of old lace, Mrs. Thomas, the
cynosure of all eyes In the lobby, seat
ed herself In one of the large wicker
chairs and proceeded to tell all about
the pastime of aeronautlng, purely for
sport, and so enthusiastic was she that
her face fairly beamed as she recounted
some difficult landing that she and the
doctor had mado In some far distant
forest In Massachusetts, Maine.
Hoboken. And "the count,” she told all
about him, for he Is so enthusiastic
and first Interested the doctor In aero
nautlcs, about which the doctor Is, oh,
wildly excited, though It is not allow ed
to interfere with his practice, which
has grown so largely since he eetab
llshed himself In New York—not to
talk shop, however.
"You see, It all started from the au
tomoblle," said Mrs. Thomas, ns she
seated herself In the wicker.
"The doctor Is an autolst also, Is he?"
asked the reporter.
And the Count, Too.
“Oh, yes, Indeed; why we have owned
a very large car for four years. You
should let me tell you now, for It start'
ed at the auto show, given by the
Automobile Club, to which, of course,
all the very best people In New York
belong. The doctor was the chairman
of the committee that had In charge
the exhibit In which were shown some
very handsome balloons that had been
brought over to New York from Paris.
The count, I mean Count I.eVeaux, he
and the doctor are so very thick, you
know, was the first to sow an aero
nautical seed In Dr. Thomas’ ear. The
Aero Club bought several of the bal
loons, the handsome ones, though Dr.
Thomas bought one for himself, so en
thusiastic had he become on the sub
ject.
"Of course It Is only a fad with the
doctor, and all of the people up In the
East, who have taken It up onyl for
sport, though. The man wjto takes the
flights with the doctor In his balloon—
which, by the way. was made by Mal
let—M-a-l-l-e-t—French, you know—
by the name of LeVee, Is a professions!
pilot, and Is teaching the doctor all he
knows of ballooqlng.
"So you, too, nre enthusiastic about
ballooning?" asked the reporter.
'Oh, yes; I should say sot and I feel
awfully good this morning, as a tele
gram from the doctor yesterday said
he was going to make a flight In Pitts
burg soon, but will wait until I come
home. No. I don’t know whether I will
go up with him, but I may; You see,
some aeronaut made a flight In Phila
delphia recently and we wish to beat
his record. It Is Just like golf or tennis
with us, and as a sport It Is very
exciting, and really Is becoming very
popular and Is being taken up. of
course, by only the very best people.
Mrs. Howard Oould made a flight not
long ago, and In Paris It Is no unusual
thing at all for a flight to be made.”
The reporter's ignorance of balloons
seemed to Interest Mrs. Thomas ex
ceedingly, and she left nothing unsaid
in elucidating thoroughly everything
connected with the taking of flights.
No parachutes are used, she skid, for
there was no danger except In coming
down, which has to be taken rather
Slowly, a too sudden descent being
risky, the more sudden the more risky.
"fan you give me a picture?” asked
the reporter.
“Oh, I Love Reporters!”
'Why, haven't you a picture? I am
•o sorry I have none with ,me, for I
know exactly how It 1s with you report-
era. oh, I love reporters, for I know
them so well. In New York I know a
large number and see so much of them.
Dr. Thomas always gives them all the
Information he can. The reporters there
are awfully fond of him. They come
right Is the house and take the pictures
ofr the .rail, and always with a smiling,
'Oh, I'll bring It back, Mrs. Thomas,' so
pleasantly, you know, that It Is hard to
refuse, and now and then one Is
brought back. I know your city editor
will ask yoirtf you secured the pictuce,
and If you don't have one he will look
at you as If to say, 'Sorry you fell down
on the story,’ but I really have none
with me. Now, my sister may have
one; I really think ahe has; though she
told me not long ago that she hated to
•how It to any one. It was so unlike me.
Maybe she will give It to you, if you
will promise to return It. What's your
name?—well, this Is my sister and you
may ask her for the picture."
The picture was at home In the bot
tom of a trunk, in which were packed
odds and ends, and’as It would take a
good while and the picture was not
very good. It was announced that i
search would be Instituted, for It to
night, and the reporter could have
Tuesday.
"The call for plcturea In New York
was so heavy that the papers Just had
us go to Marceau and have a lo taken
which we did. I am so sorry I haven't
one with me, for I know what It means
to you. Now, Is there anything else
you want |o know? I am always glad
to give the reporters anything I con, for
I like them; they are always so very
kind. Oh, I know them like a book."
The Occasion of the Visit.
"What am I doing In Atlanta? Well,
I am to be matron of honor at a wed
ding here of Miss Kathleen Thomas,
the doctor's sister, t„ Mr. McMillan,
and I suppose I will be here the rest of
the week. Why, I have been here al
ready two days and you are the first
reporter I have seen. I had begun to
think I would escape this, though It
seems not. Why, In Cincinnati, I had
hardly been In the city a halt hour be,
fore three or four reporters were camp.
Ing on my trail. One of them, whom
asked how he knew I was coming,
showed me a telegram from one of our
members In New York, telling him “
might be able to give theitl some assist
ance In running a car, which they had
there. I mean balloon; we call them
all cars. But I could do nothing with
It. Very poor material In It, Indeed, not
like ours In New York.
"I am going directly back to New
York from here, for we have a lot of
things In aeronautics on foot, and I
don't want tp miss any of them. So
sorry about the picture, for I know
what It means to you." *

TO BE ALLOWED LIFE
FRIENDS OF MRS. BROWNER TELL

FUL REQUEST.
By Private Leased Wire.
Toms River, N. J., June 4.—Pitiful
pleadings for life marked the last
hours of Mrs. Brouwer, for whose mur
der her husband. Dr. Frank Brouwer,
awaiting trial In the county Jail
here.
The story, gleaned from close friends
of the Brouwers by Prosecutor Brown,
In his search for evidence against the
accused physician. Is as follows:
The burden of evidence Is to combat
the theory, which the defense Is ex
pected to offer, that the poison and
ground glass which chemists have de
clared they found In Mrs. Brouwer's
stomach, were swallowed with suicidal
Intent.
Save my life, Frank," Mrs. Brouwer
Is alleged to have moaned to her hus
band In her agony; "save my life for
the sake of the children."
Petitions like these, the story goes,
were uttered by Mrs. Brouwer almost
constantly while she was conscious.
Her last conscious act was to ask for
her children and kiss them farewell.

LIVELY SESSION
OE CITHOUNCIL
SEVERAL IMPORTANT MAT
TERS CAME UP MONDAY.
Key’* Gas Franchise Committee
Report Will Be Dis
cussed.
Several Important mattera will come
up before the city fathers at their
semi-monthly meeting Monday after
noon. Paramount among these will be
the discussion of the gaa franchise re
port nnd two ordlnancea which will be
Introduced, one to repeal the ordinance
requiring a three-fourths vote of the
j >i 1111 • i * board r«» dlsmivs an ofllrei "f
the police force. The other require*
wholesale liquor dealer* to conform to
the regulations governing retail liquor
dealer!. Doth ordlnancea have a far-
reaching effect.
The discussion of the report of the
special committee on tho gaa franchise
will probably consume much time. The
report of the committee Is favorable
on two phases of the resolution, one of
which prorldes for municipal Inspection
and the other of which gives the city
the right to build a gas plant. Chair
man James L. Key will make a fight to
get his entlro report passed, and as
there Is a strong faction against the
movement, the discussion will probably
be warm.
The ordinance repealing the ordi
nance which requires a three-fourths
vote to dismiss an otfleer of the police
force will be Introduced by Counclhnnn
Oldknow. If the ordinance I* passed
majority vote will be required.
Wholesale Liquor Ordinance.

liquor dealers cornea from the police
committee and reads aa follows:
An ordinance providing that dealers
In liquors In wholesale shall conform to
all the regulations governing applicants
for license to retail liquors.
"Be it ordained by the mayor and
general council of the city of Atlanta,

IriK thereto the follow lug
Said dealers shall likewise conform
to all the existing requirements govern
lng applications for license to retail
liquors prescribed In the ordinance co
dified In chapter 44 of the city code of
1899/ so that said ordinance, when so
amended shall read as follows:
Section 1530. Dealers In liquors at
wholesale shall conform to the regula-
tlons for opening and closing saloon*
prescribed by existing ordinances, and
such as may bo hereafter made, and
shall also conform to the laws and or
dinances preventing the sale or furnish
Ing of liquors on election days, Christ
mas days, Sundays and other holldayi
on which retail saloons are required to
be closed. Bald dealers shall likewise
conform to all tho existing require
ments governing applications for II
cense to retail llquor#prescrlbed In the
ordinance codified in chapter 44 of the
city code of 1899/
"Sec. 2. That all ordinances and parts
of ordinances In conflict with this ordl
nance be and the samo are hereby re

brought up Monday, as the committee
has not completed Its report.
The petition for tho paving of Peach
