Union City, Tenn., July IS.—Lola
Walker, » pretty North Carolina girl,
who has attended social functions at
George Vanderbilt's beautiful estate at
Blltmore, Is attempting to recover 250,-
00,0 damages through a suit against
Colonel D. W. Edwards, well known In
St. Louln and Chicago.
In court she narrated details of her
acquaintance with Colonel Edwards at
Asheville, N. C„ and later In New
York, where, she says,, she met him
by appointment.
The witness said she went on a tally-
ho ride. Most of ths guests got out of
the tally-ho. Colonel Edwards Insist
ed that she drink some port wine, tell
ing her, she said, that It was a "soft”
drink and would not hurt her. She
drank, she said, and lost her senses.
Then she told of his alleged Impor
tunities and of her belief !h his pro
testations. Defendant was afraid her
aunt would not permit the marriage, as
she had not liked him since she had
drunk the wine. He had to go to New
York. She followed Edwards. RVhen
iressed to make her his wife, she said,
te confessed that he was a married
man. There was a scene and she or
dered him away. She secured an en
gagement with a dramatic company
and went to San Francisco and was
taken III.
Edwards, she said, had aent her va
rious sums of money at different places.
Her people did not know for .months
of her whereabouts. It was In 1903
when the alleged offense was commit
ted, and sha never knew until No
vember of the following year that Ed
wards was a single man at the time
they were together in New York. 1
Witnesses are here from New York,
Chicago and St. Louis. Colonel Ed
wards Is heir tn one of. the largest
estates In Tennessee. The case prom
ises to be bitterly fought. „

SEABOARD RETURNS
WON'T BE RECEIVED
Long delayed because of a fire In
the Portsmouth offices which destroyed
valuable records, the Seaboard Air
Line has Anally made Its annual re
turns to the comptroller general.
And the Increase Is so small that
Captain Wright will decline to receive
the returns.
The total returns on tangible and
franchise values amount to 29,429,292,
of which $1,(00,000 Is for the franchise,
exactly the flgurei of last year.
An Increase of only 343,833 la shown,
presumptively on 14.73 miles of new
sidetrack.
For the new line between Atlanta
and Cedartown the Seaboard fixes the
value at $(,000 per mile. It Is said
that this new roadbed Is one. of the
finest and best ballasted In tha South.
Last year the comptroller fixed tbe val
uation of the new road of the Louis-
e and Nashville (the Atlanta, Knox-
s and Northern) at $12,(00 per mile,
and the Louisville and Nashville ac
cepted It without arbitration.
Now the comptroller does not under
stand how the Seaboard can build a
new line over territory offering almost
as great obstacles as tbe other in con
struction at $7,(00 less per mile.
On this specification he will demand
further facts. Some of the mileage of
the Seaboard It returned as low as
14,000 and some os high as 33,000.
The return* are not satisfactory by
any means, and unless the Seaboard
will agree to raise them, fin arbitration
Is certain.
With the exception of Colonel James
M. Smith's two short lines, every road
In the state has made returns for this
year. ,
