Rain, Wind, Lice and Grass Com
bine To Do Big Damage to
Growing Crop.
“The cotton crop In Georgia has been
damaged not leas than 15 per cent by
the heavy rain, winds and cool weather
of the past few days."
So state*. Commissioner of Agricut.
ture T. G. Hudson Thursday murnlng.
Continuing, Commissioner Hudson
said:
In south and middle Georgia the
damage win be much heavier than In
north Georgia. Terrific rains fell over
that area, and beat the plant to the
ground. Some time ago considerable
areas of cotton were practically ruined
by lice, and fields had to be replanted.
“Then some fair, warm weather
came along and stopped the ravages of
the lice—nothing but hot sunshine and
warm nights will kill them. With a
reocurrence of cloudy, cool weather the
lice will reappear.
“And atlll another condition It to be
taken Into consideration. The continu
ed rains In the eerly part of May made
It Impossible for farmers to work their
crops. The grass got a big start on
them, and If the present conditions pre
vail long, grass will again take posse*,
slon of the fields.
“From reports I have received Ihe
rain In south Georgia this week has
been extraordinarily heavy, and, com
bined with high winds, great damage
has been wrought to all growing crops.
Corn has been blown flat, but of course.
If plenty of hot sunshine comes along i
great deal of It will right Itself. I be
lleve It Is a conservative estimate now
to state that the cotton crop has been
damaged 25 per cent."
Colonel o. B. Stevens, of the railroad
commission, says that the high winds
blew down a large number of hi* fruit
trees, and that some damage was done
by the washing rains.

BECAUSE DINNER WASN’T READY
AND HER HUSBAND KICKED HARD
SIX-MONTHS WIFE TRIED SUICIDE
W HEN Mrs. Carrie Lancaster,
a pretty young woman of 20
years, a bride of Just six
months, Wednesday afternoon Jokingly
told hor hubby, C. M. Lancaster, to
have home If he wanted to, she says
ho took her at her word, and promptly
left the house, 1 Louise street.
As the hours passed by and Lancas
ter failed to return, the yqpng wife
began to brood over her remark, and
at 7 o'clock had become desperate, do
termlnlng to end her life. To accom
pllsh this rash deed, she swallowed a
portion of tho contents of a bottle of
laudanum. •
Shortly afterward*, she Informed a
neighbor of what she had done, and
the Grady hoapltal was quickly noti
fied. the young woman being hurried to
that Institution In an ambulance. It
was ascertained she had not taken a
fatal dose, and It was only a short
time until her system had been freed
of the poison. 8h# had recovered her
normal condition Thursday, and was
able during the day to return to her
borne.
Dinner Wasn't Rtsdy.
The young bride inye she was India-
pored Wednesday, and that her hus
band quarreled with her because she
did not have hie dinner prepared when
he rams home at 2 o'clock In the
afternoon. She says he threatened to
have home, and that ihe remarked,
merely to teaae him:
"Well, leave If you want to. See bow
much I will care."
The huaband left and the wife soon
demonstrated Just how much she did
care.
This Is the second unsuccessful at
tempt made by Mrs. Lancaster to com
mit suicide, laudanum being used on
both occasions. The first attempt was
made last summer, before the young
woman became a bride.
At that time, she resided with her
mother. The latter's health began to
fall, and sho laft here and went to St.
Louis. The daughter became despond
ent over her mother's condition, and
decided to end her troubles with a big
dose of laudanum. She swallowed two
phiale of the poison, and waa taken
i« Grady hospital.
After she waa out of danger, she was
Informed by the physicians that she
had taken too much of tho drug to
kill her.
Remembering this statement, and
dealring to profit by It, the young
woman, when she again tried suicide
Wednesday night, swallowed only a
amall quantity of laudanum. She mis
judged the poison again, however, for
she soon found she had not token
enough.
When seen Thursday morning. Mrs.
Lancaster, with her pretty brown locks
falling In confusion about her head
and face, smilingly remarked:
“I am done with poison and attempts
at suicide. I have failed twice, and
am going to quit. It’s all nonsense,
any way, to want to kill yourself, and
I'm not going to try It any more."
' The Young Bride Talk*.
In answer to questions as to the
cause that prompted the attempt of
Wednesday, the young bride said:
“Oh, It was all a lot of foolishness.
It was Just this way: I was feeling
III yesterday, and remained In bed ail
during the morning. You see. I didn't
feel like doing anything but Just stay
In bed. When my husband came home
to dinner at 2 o'clock, he got mad be
cause I had not cleaned the house and
prepared dinner, and he began to quar
rel with me. He told me that If I
could not do the work about the house
any better than that, he would simply
leave home. I answered In a Joking
way that he could leave If he wanted
to, and see how much I would care. Of
couree, you know I didn't mean this. I
waa only teasing him. But, then, he
did not see It that way, It seems, and
he left. When he failed to come hark..
I got sorry for what 1 had done, and
I Just kept worrying until I decided to
kill myself. And then I swallowed the
landanum. But I sure am glad It did
not kill me." .
Mrs. Lancaster said her husband
had not been to see her and had sent
her no word. She had one of the hos
pital nurses to telephone to her hus
band's place of business Thursday
morning, but she failed to reach him.
Mrs Lancaster said she did not know
whether her hubby would come back
to her or not.

Cargo of American
Steamer Haverford

Special Cable—Copyright.
Liverpool, England, June 14.—It la
now known that not less than alx of
the crew of the steamer Haverford, of
the American line, were killed and fully
forty hurt, some mortally, by an *ex
plosion which followed the removal of
cargo hatches this morning.
The cargo waa set on fire by tho ex.
plosion and eerlr.ua damage was done
to the ship.
It Is not definitely known what caus
ed the explosion, but there are susplc.
lous circumstances which hkve caused
the belief In some quarter* that It Is
the work of anarchists. A thorough
Investigation will be made.
Sfuch of the cargo, of the Haverford
was linseed oil coke and It Is not Im
probable that this generated gas which
caused the explosion. Another state
ment Is that It waa caused by a bar
rel of napthn.
Fortunately, there were no paasen-
R ers aboard. The Haverford reached
ere from Philadelphia yesterday and
her passengers were all landed last
night.
The Haverford Is a steel built, twin-
screw steamer of over 4,OOP tons, and
has a length of 520 feet, a width of 50
feet and a depth of 2* 1-2 feet. She
was built at Clyde Bank, Scotland, In
1901. She Is a sister of the Southwark
and Kensington. She cost 1450,000.
The International Mercantile Marine
Company, the parent organisation of
the combination, has the Haverford In
sured In Its own company for five-
eighths of her. value.

New York, June 14.—Robert B.
Roosevelt, a Democrat of national
prominence, and uncle of President
Roosevelt, died early today at hie coun
try home at Sayvllle, L. L, after a
long Illness.
He suffered from a complication of
diseases nnd had been under the care
of his physicians since early last year.
He was 77 years of age and had all the
Rooeevelt family trait for outdoor Ufe.
During the Cleveland prealdentUI
campaign he waa treasurer of the Dem
ocratic national committee. He was of
fered a nomination as elector In the
last presidential campaign, but declined
because of his admiration for Theodore
Roosevelt and hi* friendly Interest In
the younger man's political ambition.
Mr. Roosevelt was admitted to the
bar In 1851. and after practicing for
twenty years he left the profession to
become a merchant He retired from
active business tome years ago, but
kept up his Interest la politics. He was
one of the first to expose the “em
balmed beer that was fed to Ameri
can soldiers during the Spanish-Amer
ican war.
Mr. Roosevelt waa one of the found
ers of the Union League Club, and at
the time of his death waa a member of
the Manhattan Club, the Democratic
Clnb, Rons of the American Revolution,
Municipal Art flqylety and the Ameri
can Geographical Society.
The funeral will probably be held
from hie city home at 57 Fifth avenue.

sons, John end Robert. Jr. HU second

and blame fell upon his successor, or
ultimately brought the law Into dis
credit.”
Whet Folk Replied.
Governor Folk, when Informed of
Jerome's criticisms, wired In reply:
“Concerning Mr. Jerome's criticisms,
I have this to say:
“Mr. Jerome hse been misinformed.
All of the bribery cases In this state
that so far have reached the supreme
court were either affirmed or remanded
before my nomination and election to
the office which I now hold, and be
fore the election of my successor as
prosecutor. No one ever thought of
either blaming nr discrediting him
with the action of Hit court! on com*
before he came Into' office, and none
have reached the appellate courU
■Inre."
After discussing the prosecution of
grafters and bribers In Missouri, Gov
ernor Folk continues:
"The Missouri esposurea and pros
ecutions did not bring the law Into
disrepute with good cltlsene, as Mr. Je
rome statee, but did make It odious
to. those that had violated It. No
man who had not done something to
be exposed waa exposed, and no Inno
cent man was convicted.
“There was no corruption In the last
Missouri legislature and Missouri has
become an unhealthy place for corrup
tionists of every kind, The credit for
this is not due eny one man, but to
the good people of the state."
Further. Governor Folk says:
“It Is the duty of the proMcutor
to prosecute the guilty and shield the
Innocent. It Is a dangerous thing for
a prosecutor to decline to prosecute
the guilty, merely because an appellate
court might possibly remand the case
for another trial. It takes more than
a lawyer, more even than a prophet
to tell whet an appellate court te go
ing to deride. The Judges themselves
dissent one from th* other; they re
verse Judges and sometimes overrule
themselves."

Vacillation was again shown Wed
nesday afternoon at a masting of the
tax committee of council, when the li
cense for wholesale liquor dealers, tell
ing from one quart up to five gallons,
waa raised from 1300 to 3400, and all
wholesalers were put In this slngl*
class. The committee held teuton from

lors, whsre were crowded some thirty
wholesale and retail liquor men, with
their attorneys, The first move of th*
committee some week* ago was to In
crease th* liquor license to 3100. In

Startling Allegation*.
The muting Wednesday was charac
terised by the . startling allegations
made by Attorney Llgon Johnson, a
member of the firm of Arnold A Ar
nold, who In hi* argument against rais
ing the wholesale liquor tax declared
that Illuthenlhal A Illckert, wholesale
liquor rlenlera of this city, had formed
n mighty trust of retail liquor houses
and were striving to throttle all com
petition. Ills attack on “Old Jot"
whisky also caused much comment.
After lending up to the subject by giv
ing figures showing tho firm mentioned
Imported 400 barrels of cologne spirits
monthly, 5,000 barrels a year, he read
the report of Htato Chemist McCand-
leas, which states:
‘‘Old Joe I regard a* being a wholly
artificial whisky, made from cologne
spirits and colored with caramel."
Attorney Courtlond 8. Winn, rears
sentlng some fifty retail dealers, who**
names were signed to the petition ask
ing that the “bottle men" be put on the
same basis with the retail men, as they
were Close competitors, based his argu
ment along the linn that the retail men
are paying a tax of ii.sto par ommm
that they are under heavy expense for
bar and other fixtures as well as for
rents, which are raised because of the
restrictions placed an saloons. His
speech was a strong on* and carried
much weight.
“Forced to Sign Petition. 1
Mr. Johnson opened hla speech by
charging that ths null men had at
tempted to railroad th* matter of II-
cense through council. He then sold
that a number of Ihe saloon men who
had bun forced to sign Mr. Wlnn'e pe
tition had signed his, a petition got up
later by th* wholuait men. This they
did because deceived In signing th*
first. As to the extension of liquor
limits, h* said th* wholesale men wtr*
against It. and that It was ths scheme
of the retail liquor trust which wanted
little wider world to conquer.
