FICE HOLDS
FAMILY AT
Were Locked Up in Hotise
for Four or Five
Hours.
A mad dog:, a small flee, kept nn
entire family behind locked doors for
four or five hours Wednesday after
noon. A call was received at the police
headquarters asking that an officer be
sent to 410 Simpson street, where the
small dog, made vicious by the rabbles,
was running at large in the yard. Of
ficer Hood mounted a wheel and rode
hastily to 4lo Simpson street, the resi
dence of J. B. Stamps.
When he arrived on the scene he
walked up on the porch, pistol In hand.
He rang the bell and a voice from in
side inquired If-that was the police
man who had come to kill a mad dog.
Officer Hood replied that it was. The
door-was unlocked and the officer told
where he might find the animal.
The officer stated this morning that
when he came upon the beast it was
running around the different yards on
Simpson street gnawing the turf, bit
ing the trees and rolling over in somer
sault fashion. The dog was killed and
the doors of 410 Simpson street were
unlocked.

Bristol, Tenn., Aug. 16.—The Demo
cratic congressional convention of the
Ninth Virginia district Is being held
In Bristol today. There Is a large and
enthusiastic attendance. It has been
practically decided among the delegates
that Former 8tate Senator Robert P.
Bruce, of Wise county. Is to bo nom
inated.
The Republicans renominated Con-
tressman C. Slemp In June.
The Canteen Question and
Statue to Wirz Promise
Debates.
By Private Leased Wire.
Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 16.—This
morning the delegate body of the for
tieth national % encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic wai called
to order by Commander-In-Chief Ton*
ner.
The morning session was largely
taken up with work of the committee
on credentials and the annual report of
the commander-ln-chief will come late
in the morning session or early in the
aft^Hioon.
The canteen question for the Sol
diers' Home Is almost certain to he
brought up and the question of taking
some action about the monument to
Wirs will also be a subject that will
cause excitement If It is allowed to
come before the encampment.
It Is hardly expected that the election
of officers will be reached today
Should business'at the afternoon ses
sion be light, the first ballot for com-
mander-ln-chlef may be taken, but It
is more likely that all voting will be
postponed until tomorrow.
It looks like R. D. Brown, of Zanc$
ville, Ohio, will be the next comman
der-1 n-chlef. Atlanta, Ga., Is tho latest
bidder for the next encampment, but
Saratoga will probably land it.

In the original irtatement of tbe United Firemen's Insurance Co.
printed a day or two ago In The Georgian, a typographical error was
'• ade which made It appear ns If the first Item; "Real Estate unencum-
hert d," was "real estate encumbered." The Georgian takes pleasure
hi printing a corrected semi-annual statement, which shows that the
ct/Lipauy has real estate unencumbered to the amount of Jli-.ioo.
Through a slight hut unfortunntu error
The Atlanta Georgfiln'n standing of the
Southern League teams went one game
astray Wednesday. Little Keek was not
credited with one game which the Trav
elers had won, which wns rather a shame,
since the Little Rock crowd has won so
few.
In nn attempt to cntch the error, the
writer browsed through « hunch of South
ern Lengue papers. He found tho follow
ing hnd incorrect standings for that day:
Tho Atlanta Constitution, The Atlanta
Journal, The Atlanta News, The Arkansas
Gazette, Tho Birmingham Age-Herald, The
Montgomery Advertiser, The Montgomery
Journal and The Birmingham News. How
many others were wrong, the writer does
not know. lie rnng off nt that, found
the mistake In The Georgian's standing,
nnd corrected It. The Georgian's Southern
league standing will bo found correct,

A Daylight Rafflss.
During the absence of E. R. Lowry
and hl» family from their home, 200
Ashby street, a burglar of unknown
Identity entered .the house at 4 o’clock
Wednesday' afternoon and going up
stairs took n poeketbook containing
*4.50 out of a dresser drawer. This Is
the third burglary that has occurred
In that Immediate neighborhood, tfuj
';ut being the boldest of them alL i
Accused of stealing a watch out of
a house occupied by three negro wom
en. J. T. Haynes, a young man with
red Jiair and mustache, who asserts that
he is from Columbus, Ga., w*as bound
over to the city criminal court Thurs
day mqrnlng under a $500 bond.
J. Jacobs, a pawnbroker at 100 De
catur street, swore that Haynes was
the man who brought hint the watch
and that he gave Haynes ten one-
dollar bills for the pledge. The pawn
broker says he questioned the man
when he brought the watch, and that
Haynes declared that a girl at 98 Ellis
street had given him the article to
pawn; 98 Elils is the address of the
three women.
When he was brought up for trial
Haynes acted as attorney ror himself
and questioned Jacobs, the pawnbroker.
The first query flred by Haynes was:
"How old are you, Mr. Jacobs?” but
the court objected.
"How long have you been in tho
brokerage business?" came next.
"Three years,” was the reply.
"How many people a day come In
your shop?”
"About one hundred," replied the
pawnbroker, "but before you question
mo further I wish to say that only
one red-headed man In 000 comes to
my shdp, and It’s easy to Identify
them."
The case was mode by Officers
Evans and Eddleton, and the watch
was found by Detective Spradlin, and
In the watch was the name of one of
the women, Laura Weston.

Comptroller General Wright and W.
L. Stanley, of Portsmouth, Va., tax
attorney for the Seaboard Air Line,
at a conference Thursday morning am
icably settled the question of returns
for that road for 1906.
They agreed on an assessment of
$12,040 per mile for the 66 miles of the
new Atlantic and Birmingham. When
the original returns were submitted the
company gave this property In at $5,-

New York, Aug. 16.— 1 Throngs of men
and women Interested In the crusade
against bucket shops, gathered In the
police court of the Tombs today when
the prisoners taken In the recent raids
were arraigned. This Is the first big
sweeping attack against the bucket
shops of New York.
In a raid ordered by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Garvan and made per
sonally by Detective Sergeant Convllle,
four men have been taken Into custody
as . being directors of the John A.
Boardman Company of Philadelphia,
with branch pfflpes In New York.
8«y Al. Adams Is Bscktr.
Of the four prisoners, Frederick
Bloomfield, James Htockwell, George
J. Tdmer and William H. LHIIs, the
district attorney’s office points out that
Turner nnd Lillis ure the original mem
bers of the notorious Haight &
Freeze Company.
Hard ui>on this comes the news that
the police are making a close investi
gation of "M. J. Sage & Company," a
firm of "hankers and brokers” In this
city, who u writer In a magazine has
flatly accused not only of running a
bucket shop, but of being In name
merely a covering for the operations
of the notorious former policy' king, Al.
Adams.
Is Sophia Beck In Gams?
It Is declared that Adams’ wealth
backs the enterprise, and that a term
In state’s prison has had no salutary
effect upon the man whom the Judge
who sentenced him declared him to be
"the meanest man In New York."
The police believe Sophia Beck, the
"Queen of the Confidence Men," smart,
unscrupulous, wonderful Sophia Heck
—who has revelled In wealth, been re
duced to- poverty and then been In
swindling schemes and forced her way
hack to wealth again, time nnd again,
in her life, Is mixed up with the game.
She is ntlll In her thirties ami a wom
