The Georgian gave a Fourth of July |
party. All the newsies were Invited
for 8 a. m., and, though a few swells
came late, fully a hundred ' boys had
assembled long before the appointed
hour.
They had heard wonderful stories 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 as one entered the big hall
It was to be seejt that the party was
Informal. Here a scuffling contest was
on, and such cries as "Punch'm hard,”
"Whyn'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 light was
being amicably settled by an older bb>,
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 sue-
e lclous person would - have said the
oys thought .It was cake time. The
master of ceremonies pointed to one of
the assistant society editors who was
having the beat 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.
"8he’e 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
an 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.
"Now, three cheers for The Geor
gian,” and the noise they, model
Then great tubs of lemonade, and
the beautiful crackers .with pink and.
white Icing, which Harry Schleslnger
had donated for the occasion, were
brought In.
“Doo 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." Rut what his new profession
Is, he didn't say.
Then, too, there were Mike and Abe
Klein, of whom all the boys are very
proud. Mike, the older brother, la
years old, and says he has been
carrier for two years. Alje 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 la your name?" some one
asked who took him some refresh
ments.
"Dewey,” he raponded gravely.
Off They Go.
At 9 o’clock they were put Into the
areat 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-Nola
company.
It seemed to them a good old world.

HEIR TO GERMAN THRONE
IS BORN AT POTTSDAM
By Private Leased Wire.
Berlin, July 4.—At the marble palace Pottsdam, an heir to the German
throne was born today when the Crown Winces* Cecilia gave birth to a
eon. She was married June, 1(08, 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 kaleer. As soon as the wireless message was received announcing
the coming of the little prince, hie majesty replied by wireless, sending con
gratulations to “My dear daughter-in-law and a kies to my first grand
son.” • ‘ ' • '
In accord with the old Prusalan custom, there were present' at the ac-
couehment, beside the empress, the crown prince and the three court phy
sicians, an accredited representative of tha German government. The Isiw
provides that , there shall be no doubt of the Identity of the child, who will
one day. If all goes 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 celeb?atlonl 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 Georgian's office the boys were
piled Into big wagons, decorated with
flags and ’streamers,. and they were
driven slowly down Alabama street,
along Whitehall and then opt to Pied
mont.
And no circus parade ever made more
noise or'attracted more attention.
Every boy In the lot yeUed contin
uously at the very top of his stout
young voice every Inch of the way.
and the spectators on the sidewalks'
were so Impressed with the stout
showing and the loud noise, that they
applauded and cheered as the kids
drove by.
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,
assisted by the local police force and
spectators. For awhile It looked as
ough the militia might have to be
died out.
When the Inside of the park was
gained there was a merry scramble
for the top seats of the blearhers, and
here the party lodged, and here It re
mained 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 1 was over the boys
were marshaled into a large and quite
Irregular column, and In broken order
they marched back do their convey
ances. •
And all of them looked happy even
then, for there was still the ride back
to anticipate.
The return trip was made slowly, and
It was nearly 2 o'clock before the lest
wagon drove up and unloaded Its car
go of happy newsboys.
Altogether The Georgian parly was
a huge success, and.lt will be long be

DEADLOCK IS BROKEN
AND CAPTAIN CHOSEN
But Oldknow’s Shift
Causes Much.
Anger.
PATROLMAN JETT
LANDS THE PLUM
Death Blow Dealt to Civil Ser
vice Proposition, It Is
Believed.
Unexpected developments and ...
tenae surprise marked the meeting on
Tuesday night of the board*of police
commissioners, when the Olbraltar-
llke deadlock that has prevented the
election of a successor to Former Po
lice Captain Moon for several weeks
was suddenly broken Into "smither
eens” by Commissioner Oldknow.
After the commission had persist
ently failed to get together on a po
lice captain and It appeared as though
an election wee an Impossibility, Com
missioner Oldknow broke loose from
the ties that have bound him to the
"civil service” faction since lie hus
been on the commission and voted
With the "antl-cIvll service," or Eng
lish faction, electing Patrolman K. L.
Jett captain.
Incidentally, the election of Jett gives
police civil service a black eye.
The four commissioners who have
USatfilMd that’ tbectvll (inrlce sys
tem Inaugurated some time ago by the
old commission was void, feel that
they have won a signal victory and
declare civil service In reality will not
become effective until April, 1(07, the

unless all members of the force should
resign before that time to accept civil
irvice.
. Jett Wouldn't Resign.
The new captain Is one of the six
teen^ policemen who refused to resign
at the tlmo.plvll service was Instituted
by the old commission.
The sudden change of Commissioner
Oldknow to the English faction has
crenteil a sensation In police circles
and among city politicians and has
aroused the Ire of Mayor Woodward,
who appointed him to the olllce. Air.
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 has held for two consecutive
terme by appointment of the mnyor.
The unexpected action of tha com
missioner has dissipated the warm
fHendshlp that existed between him
and Mayor Wodward, with whom he
has been closely allied, and has con
verted them Into bitter political ene
mies.
Mayor Is Very Angry.
When seen Wednesday morning In
regard to the matter, Alayor Wood*
ward did not hesitate to denounce
Commissioner Oldknow In strong nnd
unmistakable terms. It did not requlro
p through a magnifying glees to
er the expression of anger on
the mayor’s fscs as he spoke of the
desertion of his appointee. The anger
was too plain.
When asked for a public expression
of opinion as to wliat he thought of
the commissioner's change of front,
Mayor Woodward, his features resem
bling a panorama of disgust, merely
remarked:
don’t care to say anything for
publication. I have no desire to asso
ciate with him In nny way." 1
Not only la the mayor wrought up.
but It Is understood that the other
members of the faction with which
Mr. Oldknow has been aligned are also
•sore."
With the support of Cammlealoner
Oldknow, the "civil service" faction had
the commission completely deadlocked
and so long as he stood firm there was
no election of a captain. Whan he
faced about and llnad up with the Eng
lish faction, however, It wae easy salt
ing and Jelt was chosen captain with
out having to aland a civil aarvlee ex
amination.
In Executive Session.
After transacting the ordinary rou
tine business of the monthly meeting,
the commission went Jnto executive
session at 10 o'clock end the question
of electing a captain was brought up.
This naturally developed a discussion
of civil service and the commissioners
freely expressed their views.
During the discussion Commissioner
Morris Brandon presented a written
opinion from City Attorney Mayeon, In
which the latter held that the commis
sion could not elect a successor to Cap
tain Moon for life. Civil service means
election for life, and consequently the
opinion of the city attorney was a rul
ing on civil service. *’ ’

L. Jett, the new captain, was
