SHE H1TMEWITH SHOE,
SAYS SUED
v prety ’’hallo girl," Mrs. Pauline
Wilson, when placed on the stand Mon
ti., \ morning In the superior court, told
of her desertion by her husband,
< h.'irlaa B. Wilson, and how she had
nn.»* supported-herself and her S-year-
<>ld Min on the t* a week she made as
telephone girl.
Mrs. Wilson, who as a pretty little wo-
Mart about 25 years old, waa awarded
ti n a month ntimony for her son. Karl,
n bright faced lltle fellow who appear-
<1 in the court room with his mother.
Wilson denied the charges made by
bis young wife, nnd swore that Instead
of issauftlng her, ne she charged, she
pkad at one time hit him on the head
with a shoe.
Was "Cora,” a bull pup of ala
months, a vicious pup, and did she run
against Miss Mary Calvin and knock
her down with vicious Intent? These
two momentous questions kept the civil
branch of the city court. Judge Cal
houn presiding, busy for more than
three hours Monday morning, when the
case of Mlsa Mary J. Calvin vs. J. P.
McDonald waa called; 55,000 damages
wns at stake on account of the dog ki
this case.
There were not.many spectators In
the court room when the dog cam waa
called, but the number of onlookers In
creased as lime dragged on, nnd by
noon a goodly throng was being thor
oughly acquainted with ’’Cora,” a bull
pup six months old, belonging to J. P.
McDonald. Min Mary J. Calvin, of 61
Luckle street. In her petition for dam
ages, alleged that on December IS,
1904, while passing No. 5* Capitol ave
nue, a dog ran out of the yard and
knocked her down. Inflicting various
Injuries, for' which she asked 15,000
damages. F. R.. Martin appeared for
the defendant.
Rub* Arnold’s Precedent.
Reuben Arnold, In his talk to the
court before the case, cited an Instance
In the Oeorgla records when a man
owned a mule that ran amuck and ate
a kid, of the goat family. The owner
sued for the value of the kid, but lost
on the ground that the owner of Maud
did not know that she waa fond of kids,
that It was not a natural thing foe
mules to ent kids, and her master could
not be held accountable Tor an unnatu
ral and unexpected appetite.
This master stroke on the part of the
defense wns met by the statement of
the plaintiffs attorney that the dog In
question, "Cora,” was a vicious dog and
until the good character of the dog
could be determined, he held that point
In his client’s favor.
Cora’s" pedigree and all were gone
Into and the defense made her out to be
one of the nicest, kindest, gentlest bull
pup* that lived In Atlanta. The coun
eel for the plaintiff Insisted that Com
waa not as gentle aa she could be, and
Julian McDonald, son of the owner of
the dog, admitted most anything put
to him about “Cora,’’ and only insisted
on one statement; "Oh, she’s a good
dog all right."
Reuben Arnold showed In hlf exami
nation of Julian McDonald that there
waa another dog visiting "Cora,” and
that she waa merely accompanying the
visiting dog nut of the yard, "chasing"
being the correct word In dogology,
when the front dog hit Miss Calvin.
Considerable discussion was occasioned
as to Its being the front or “hind" dog.
Reuben Arnold Insisted that his dog
could not be held responsible for what
the front dog did. He continued:
“Why, Judge, suppose there were,
ten or twelve dogs running along and
our dog waa the last one, we couldn't
be held responsible for all tha front
dogs. That would be carrying tha dog
doctrine too far.”
Every effort was made to And out
the Identity of the visiting dog, but
Julian said no card had been left, and
he only saw her enough to know that
she was an Kngllsh bull.- Bhs was
awfully large, too, and, according to
Reuben Arnold’s witnesses, did tht
damage to Min Calvin.
"Wouldn’t Bits Anything But Food."
Beveral witnesses testified aa to the
former good character of the dog,
which has never been known to bite
anything except the food regularly pre
scribed for her. ’’Oh, 'she's u good dog
all right, but Wouldn't bite.”
Reuben Arnold for the defense, made
a motion for a non-suit, on the ground’
that It ha^ been determined If "Cora's”
Intent waa wicked or charitable,
whether she or the visiting dog bit
Miss Calvin, or whether '‘Cora's’’ mas
ter knew she was at all vicious.
Cora" dlrf not attend the trial,
though ehe awaited Julian McDonald
In the corridor of the court-house. A
bone was her only companion In her
hour of trouble.

the date of the white city primary.
Thle was decided upon at the meet
ing of tho city executive committee at
noon Monday In, the council chamber
at the city hall.
The rules for the primary will be
thle year practically the same as they
weae last year. In fact, there are
qo changes whatever. In the eubetance
of the resolutions which govern the
election, with the exception of the
double ballot box system, which will
be used In the Second and the 8lxth
wards. Even this has been tried
one previous occasion and found eml
nently successful, as It relieves the
congeetlon a? the polle during the rush
hours of election day.
The first matter taken up at the
meeting was the election of a successor
to J. B, Ragsdale, nt the Third, re
■Igncd. P. o. Keeney was elected
dll the vacancy,
B. Lee Smith, of tha Fourth ward,
offered the resolution that the matter
of filling vacancies be left to the other
committeemen from the ward In which
the vacancy occurred. Thla was stout
ly'fought by Walter .R. Brown, of the
Second, who maintained that it set
precedent which waa dangerous, that
narrowed down ward right*, putting
them In the hahds of two or three men,
Mr. Smith.declared that It was the ex
pressed purpose of the resolution to set
a precedent that In electing member*
to the executive committee the wards
respectively showed confidence In the
ability and the Judgment of thoee they
elected, and that this Judgment could,
and should, be relied upon. A number
of other speeches were heard on tha
resolution, which was Anally carried
unanimously, with the exception of Mr.
Brown*, vote. However, before It wae
paxed the resolution had been
amended that the selection of names
to fill vacancies should be left to the
remaining committeemen of the ward
In question and then voted upon by the
committee.
Majority Vote Raquiramant Loiee.
Ono of the features of th* meeting
was the effort to establish the rule of
a majority Instead of a plurality vote to
elect, and In case the former was not
received by any candidate a second
election to be held. The result of this,
had It.not met defeat, would have been
to cause a second-primary In practical
ly every ward where three or more
candidates were voted upon. The reso
lution or amendment to the general
resolution was presented by E. F. Chib
dress, of the First, and tabled by an
overwhelming majority.

OLDER INVESTIGATES
CHARGER CRUELTY
CLAIM MADE THAT CHILDREN
ARE MISTREATED AT THE

On complaint of Mrs. Lillian Moffett,
who resides In Walton street, that
Mix Clara Wright, a nurse at the
Sheltering Arms, cruelly whipped her
little two-year-old boy Saturday, Pro
bation Officer Gloer Is Monday prose
cuting a thorough Investigation.
No case has been entered against
Mias Wright and It la not known Just
what action will be takup. It an)-,
Mrs, Moffett took the child to Officer
Gloer’* office Saturday afternoon and
exhibited to him two, brutes*. Which
she said had been made by the nurse.
Mr*. Moffett la employed at Schleslng.
er’s randy and cracker factory and
said she left the child at the Shelter
ing Arms while ehe was at work.
5ltsa Oliver, matron at the Institu
tion, In a statement to a Oeorgtan re
porter Monday, stated that Mix
Wright Is an amlabM and gentle young
woman and that she did not believe
the child was whipped too severely.
She said the little feUow was ills
obedient and that Miss Wright merely
spanked httn. * ’
Mlsa Wright's axlatant explains the
bruise* by- statUw that Saturday
morning the child fell twice out onto
the porch at th* Sheltering Arm* and
that these falls caused th* bruises.
Mix Wright says she did not think
she was spanking the child too se
verely. , '
Mr*. Moffett appeared considerably
wrought up over the affair and at first
wanted a case made against th* nurse.
Officer Gloer had a conference Monday
with Mix Oliver and also with Mrs.
Moffett, but has taken no action aa y*L
