THE GEORGIAN NEWSIES HAVE
A GAY FOURTH OF JULY PARTY
Two Hundred of Them

Nashville,
By SELENE ARMSTRONG.
The Georgian gave a Fourth of July
party. All the newsies were Invited
lur I L m, and, though a few swells
came late, fully a hundred boys had
assembled long before the appointed
hour.
They had heard wonderful storle* of
rake and lemonade, cornucopias and
flags, which were to be distributed by
"Mr. Tony,” who Is the good fairy of
The Georgian carriers, and who Is
master of ceremonies at every enter
tainment given for them, and they had
reserved a fund of good spirits for the
occasion.
As soon os one entered the big hall
It was to be seqt that the party was
Informal. Here a scuffling contest was
oh, and such cries as "Punch'm hard,"
"W’hyn't yer ketch Tm by de hair?"
proved the lively Interest of the spec
tators.
In another corner a disagreement
which had terminated In a fight was
being amicably settled by an older boy,
much to the sorrow of the group which
surrounded the contestants.
“Ain't you ashamed? Mr. Tony
ought ter make you kids skldoo before
de lemonade an* cake comes on,” said
the big boy, and the terrible sugges
tiveness of his words immediately
stilled the angry passions of the two
small boys who had disagreed.
Then the bugle sounded, and order
was restored so quickly that a sus
picious person would have said the
boys thought It was cake time. The
master of ceremonies pointed to one of
the assistant society editors who was
having the best, time of her life, and
said, "The lady will make you
speech.” .
Off came caps, and the poor, fright
ened society assistant was confronted
by scores of eager. Interested, smutty
faces.
You may be sure It was the most
awful moment of her life.
“She's Sassiety," He Said.
"She's Sassiety," whispered one of
the boys dramatically. "I done seen
her In dere where them women writes
about de parties.”
“She’s Sassiety," the whispered
words went round, and the poor wom
en feared that the game was up. It
would take a big message for these
boys. She spoke a few words to them
and then said, "Now, here's for "My
Country 'TIs of Thee.'”
On the Instant a hundred lusty
throats took up the words, and sang
them with a will.
■ "Nojy, three cheers for The Geor
gian,'' and the nufse they made!
Then great tubs of-lemonade, and
the beautiful crackers with pink and
white Icing, which Harry Bchleslnger
had donated for the occasion, itere
brought in.
"Doe Fish" Was on Hand.
The boys lined up. In the very front
ranks was “Doc Fish,” who told us
weeks ago that he was going to quit
the profession.
“I Jes goes to de parties,” he said,
“when dey don’t Interfere wld my reg-
'lar bis." But what his new profession
Is, he didn't say.
Then, too. there were Mike and Abe
Klein, of whom all the boys ore very
proud. Mike, the older brother, Is 8
years old, and says -he has been a
carrier for two years. Abe refused
stoutly to tell his age.
A lonely little figure was seen perch
ed In one of the windows, waving two
enormous flags. He was so frail and
diminutive that he probably stayed
away from the lemonade tub for fear
of being crushed.
“What Is your name?” some one
asked who took him some refresh
ments.
"Dewey,” he rsponded gravely.
. Off They Go.
At t o'clock they were put Into the
great wagons and were driven away to
the baseball game, shouting lustily for
The Georgian. "Mr. Toney.” the Fourth
of July, cheering everybody and every
thing. Every one of them had a meg
aphone, donated by the Koca-Nols
company.
It seemed to them a good old world,
For the party had Just begun.

HEIR TO GERMAN THRONE

Berlin, July 4.—At the marble palace Potlsdam, an heir to the German
throne was born today when the Crown Princess Cecilia gave birth to a
son. She was married June, 1905, to the heir of the kaiser. Crown Prince
Frederick.
While all Germany Is rejoicing, no one In all his dominion Is as happy
as the kaiser. As soon as the wireless ‘ message was received announcing
the coming of the little prince, his majesty replied by wjreless, sending con
gratulations to "My dear daughter-in-law and a kiss to my first grand
son.”
In accord with the old Prussian custom, there were present at the ac-
couchmcnt, beside the empress, the crown prince and the three court phy
sicians, an accredited representative of the German government. The law
provides that there shall be no doubt of the Identity of the child who will
one day. It all goVs well, rule the great empire.
The announcement that the child was a boy was greeted with a salute
of 101 guns from the fortress at Pottsdam, and the celebration began. Ber
lin soon Was covered with bunting and the streets were filled with rejoicing
people. All government buildings throughout the empire were decorated,
the troops were served with double rations and exempted from drill, while
a general holiday was proclaimed.
The new prince Is twenty-eighth In lineal descent from Conrad Von Ho-
hensollern. founder of the German Imperial house.

The entry to Piedmont park was only
prevented from degenerating Into a
scramble by vigorous work on the part
of those who had the party in charge,
aealeted by the local police force and
spectators. For awhile It. looked as
though the militia might have to be
called out.
When the Inside of the park was
gained there was a merry scramble
for the top seals of the bleachers, and
here the party lodged, and here It re.
malned during the long game.
And maybe those’boys did not have
a large and elegant picnic. It mattered
not to them that the seats were hard,
that the sun was hot and that the game
was of the kind commonly. known as
"town ball.”
It was real baseball, anyway, and
there they were In those coveted
bleacher seats. And there were the
teams, and Jim Fox knocked a home
run, and Atlanta won by a tremendous
score, and altogether everything was
very lovely.
After the game was over the boys
were marshaled into a large and quite
Irregular column, and In broken order
they marched back to their convey

And all of then! looked happy even

The return trip was made slowly, and
It was nearly 2 o'clock before the last

Altogether The Georgian party was
a huge success, and It will be long be

Unexpected developments and In
tense surprise marked the meeting on
Tuesday night of the board of police
commissioners, when the Glbraltar-
llke deadlock that has prevented the
election of a successor to Former Po
lios Captain Moon for several weeks
wee suddenly broken Into "smither
eens” by Commlealoner Oldknow.
After the commission had persist
ently failed to get together on a po
lice captain and It appeared as though
an election was an Impossibility, Com
missioner Oldknow broke loose from
the ties that have bound him to the
"civil eervlce" faction since he has
been on the commission and voted
with the "antl-civll eervlce," or Eng
lish faction, electing Patrolman E. L.
Jett captain.
Incidentally, the election of Jett gives
police civil service a black eye.
The four commissioners who have
maintained that the civil service sys
tem inaugurated some time into by tlio
old commission tvns void, feel that
they have won a signal victory and
declare civil service in reality will not
become effective unlll April, 1907, the
time flxed by the legislative enactment,
unless all members of tho force should
resign before that time to accept civil
service.
Jett Wouldn't Resign.
The new captain la one of the six
teen policemen who refused to resign
at the time civil eervlce wa4 Instituted
by the old commission. ''.
The sudden change of Commlealoner
Oldknow to the English faction has
created a sensation In police circles
and among city politicians and has
aroused the ire of Mayor Woodward,
who appointed him to the office. Mr.
Oldknow Is a member of the police
commission by reason of the fact that
he Is chairman of the police committee
of the city council, which chairman
ship he haa held for two consecutive
terms by appointment of the mayor.
The unexpected action of the com
mlssloner haa dissipated the warm
friendship (hat existed between him
and Mayor Wodward, with whom ha
haa been closely allied, and haa con
verted them Into bitter political ene
mies.
Mayor Is Very Angry.
When, seen Wednesday morning In
regard to the matter. Mayor Wood
ward did not hesitate lo denounce
Commissioner Oldknow In strong and
unmistakable terms. It did not require
a peep through a magnifying glees to
discover the expression of anger on
the mayor's face as he spoke of the
deaertlnn of his appointee. The anger
was too plain.
When asked for. a public expression
of opinion as to what he thought of
the commissioner's change of front
Mayor Woodward, his features reeem
bllng a panorama of disgust, merely
remarked:
I don't care to say anything for
publication. I have no desire to asso
ciate with him In any way/'
Not only la the mayor wrought up,
but It la understood that the other
members of the faction with which
Mr. Oldknow has been aligned are also
’sore.”
With the support of Commissioner
Oldknow, the "civil service" fsctlon had
the commleelon completely deadlocked
and so long as he stood Arm there was
no election of a captain. When he
faced about end lined up with the Eng
lish faction, however. It was easy (ail
ing and Jett was chosen captain with
out having to stand a civil service ex
amination.
In Executive 8ession,
After transacting the ordinary rou
tine business of the monthly meeting,
the commission went Into executive
session at 10 o'clock and the question
of electing a captain waa brought up.
This naturally developed a discussion
of civil service end the commissioners
freely expressed their vtew».
During the discussion Commissioner
Morris Brandon presented a written
opinion from City Attorney Mayson, In
which the latter held that the commis
sion could not elect a successor to Cap
tain Moon for life. Civil eervlce means
election for life, and consequently Ihe
opinion of the city attorney waa a rul-

Commissioner Oldknow then started
the ball to rolling by nominating Jett.
Commissioner Brandon seconded the
nomination and the vote was taken.
Chairman Terry, Commlealoner*
English, Woodslde, Brandon and Old
know voted for Jett.
Mayor Woodward and Commissioners
Nunnally and Venable refused to vote.
Jett waa then declared elected.
After the vote woe announced Mayor
'oodward, with an expression of Irony,
imarked to Captain English, referring
to Commissioner Oldknow;
"Captain, you have captured him.
You can have him."
Captain English smiled.
Before the board adjourned, Commis
sioner Oldknow announced that he was
rotng sway on his vacation and would
lave to leave the meeting to catch a
(rain. The commission adjourned at
10:40.
L. Jett, the new captain, was
elected (o serve Ihe unexplred term of
Captain Moon. This term will expire
In April, 1007. Captain Jett has been
a member of the police force for the
past sixteen years and has won n
splendid record. He le a conscientious
and faithful officer, has always held
the respect and admiration of his supe
rior officers, and la popular with the
men.
