KILLS HIS WIFE
THEN HiSELFi
CAUSE UNKNOWN
A1 baity; fa Shocked by Dou
ble Tragedy Enacted
, Sunday.
J*. 'em to The Georgian. )
Albany. Ga., Sept. 8.-—Together with
their mother’* cries for help the chil
dren of G. Howard Hayes and wife,
heard two pistol *hot* which sent both
of their parent* Into eternity at noon
yesterday.
The double tragedy wa* enacted In
a bed chamber of the Hayed home
on North Washington street, and whenl
a physician reached thd place, a few
minutes later, ,\lrs. Hayes was dead,
and her husbaruWdylng.
Cause Not Known.
The tauae of the double tragedy Is
not known. Mrs. Hayes had been In
bad health for some time and at
times her mind appeared to be af
fected. Those who boarded with them
state that their married life was not
unhappy. Just what happened during
the night or forenoon preceding the
tragedy will probably never be known.
Hnyes drank occasionally, but was
perfectly sober. He came to this state
from New York n number of years
amp. J4rs. Hayes was a Miss Lula
Manning. There are three surviving
children. One, a girl 12 years old, Is
tuning 'In Leo county.
• Hid*eldest daughter. Rmle, n pretty
girl Just blossoming Into womanhood,
and Julian, a boy of u years, were at
(be table, as were Mrs. Manning, and
several young men, who board with
the family. It was a thoroughly con
genial company who laughed, Joked
and chatted without a thought of tIf*
black shadow which hung over the
household.
Cries For Help.
Hayes nor his wife appeared at the
bn skfast table, both tuklng the meal
In their* room. It was Just before noon
that Mrs. Hayes was heard to call for
help. From her room there had pro
ceeded for an hour or more no re
sponse, « then the voices were rnlsed
above a conversational tone, anil Mrs.
iinye* called ns If In terror, "Emmie, I
I; .i, Mr. White, come quick!"
Almost Immediately a pistol shot
rang out closely followed by another,
nr. : then a noise a* If a body falling on
tr.s floor followed, after which deep
silence prevailed In the closed room.
Jhe parties called were the eldest
daughter of the Hayes, J. 8. White
and Miss Rosa (’lemons, who boarded
with the family. The door opening
from the bedroom to the dining room
was locked and when Whits climbed
Into a window opening into the yard,
ha saw that the two shots bud done
their work only too well. The body of
Mrs. Hayes was still lying on the bed
While that of her husband was pn the
floor at her side. Both were In their
night clothes.
G. Howard Hayes was a saw mill
operator who spent every week at the
B. Pope mill, some miles above Albany,
on the A. A B. Railroad. He returned
home each Saturday evening and re
mained with his family until Monday.

New Yorker Makes Labor Day Speech at
Syracuse—50,000 Persons Take Part
^ in Demonstration.
By Prlrnle Leased Wire.
Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 3.—Labor men
from all over central New York gath
ered at Syracuse today to participate
in the welcome which the Central Fed
eration at I,nbor, extended to William
Randolph llearnt. It tva* fhe greatest
demonstration that haa ever been held
In dhls city, and It I* 'estimated that
fully DO,000 people took part In It.
Mr. Ilearst, accompanied bjr a num
ber of prominent New Yorkers, mem
bers of the Independence League, ar
rived at 5 a. in. in a special car at
tached to the regular New York Cen
tral train.
The party was met at the depot by
Chairman Williams, of the Labor Day
committee, and went to the Vanderbilt
hotel. After breakfast Mr. Ilearst was
escorted to the Alhambra, where the
proceedings of the day were held.
Women in Escort.
Mr. Hearst’a escort consisted of the
carpenters’ union «»f 500 members. 25
women delegates Jn tho central trade*
and labor assembly, and tho IRC mem
bers of- thn» body, representing the 62
labor unions of Syracuse. The uppenr-
ance of the women labor delegates was
a unique feature of the parade to the
Alhambra. ' Chairman Williams de
clares It fa tho most remarkable out
pouring In the history of this section
of the atnte.
In his speech, Mr. Ilearst suld In
part:
"My friends, this Is the day set asldo
In honor of Labor and In recognition
of Labor’s primary Importance In the
greatness of this country. I feel con
fident that Labor Day will become a
national American holiday.
“Hail to tht WorkorsI”
Hall to the workers. America hns
been made by them: the resources of
this country have been developed by
them. It’s wealth and prosperity have
been created by them. Justice require?
that their Independence be recognized
and their proper demands satisfied,
call it Americanism. And,to my mind
It Is simply a plan to put Into practical
operation the American theory' of gov
ernment.
Believes in Action.
"Honesty in public service, the rule
of the majority, equality before the law,
regard for the welfare of the whole
peopH, independence in politic* and op
portunity in business summarises my
position.
"I believe in action rather than
words. Let public servants promise
only what can be actually performed
and then positively perform what they
have promised.
"At present there are two classes In
this country, those who pay and profit
by corrupt legislation and those who
pay tribute to corrupt corporation*
politically favored. Let those who op
pose class prejudice equally oppose
class legislation.
At to Ownership.
"I do not believe In private owner
ship of public property, nor In public
ownership of private property. I be
lleve In the retention by the people of
the public franchises. I believe in pul}
lie ownership of public utilities. I be
lieve that the protective principle 1*
valuable In Itself, but has been unrea
sonabiy extended and outrageously
abused.
"1 believe in protection for Infant In
du&trlos. I believe In protection for
American labor. But I believe Amer
ican labor should be protected against
the high protectlojdats who use the
protective tariff to build up monopo
lie* and ii*e those monopolies to In
crease the cost of living and control
the demand for labor at a low rote of
wages.
"I believe American labor should be
protected against Chinese labor and
against the entering wedge of Oriental
conditions. 1 believe there should be
•no protection for oppressive trusts.’

Gentlemen: Your request that I be
come a candidate for one' of the three
judgeships of the court of appeals, if
the constitutional amendment creating
said court Is ratified by the people on
October 9, has been In my hands for
some days. In my opinion, It Is
matter of paramount Importance to the
public Interest that this court should
be established, and I have feared that
any agitation of the personnel of said
court before Its creation was prema
ture and might hazard the success of
the measure. In view of the announce
ment of other candidates, however, and
the possibility that the . Democratic
convention which meets at Macon next
Tuesday may deem It wise to take
some action looking to the election or
nomination of Judges, I have decided
that It would be proper for me at this
time to make answer to your request.
I can find no words fittingly to express
my grateful appreciation for the lan
guage in which you convey your wishes
and I assure you that whatever may
be the result, whether 1 win or lose In
the contest, to be considered by so
large a number of my professional
brethren as worthy to occupy this ex-
qlted station, is an honor that I deeply
prize and will ever gratefully cherish.
While always Interested In public
questions and a loyal member of the
Democratic party and an earnest ad
vocate of Its principles and its stand
ard-bearers, I have never offered for
public position before the people,
frankly confess to you that I have an
ambition to serve the state in a Judi
cial capacity, and relying upon your
estimate of my fitness for the position,
I now submit my name, to the voters
of the Democratic party for one of the
three Judgeships of the. court of ap
peals, If In their wisdom they should
see proper to create such court. If tho
voters of Georgia approve my candi
dacy and elevate me to this high posi
tion, 1 promise them to bring to the
discharge of the important duties of
the office an earnest purpose to seek
truth and Justice, and In consecrated
service, to protect and declare the
rights of the people under the law.
make this announcement subject to
any action which the Democratic par
ty may take, either through the con
vention In Macon or by direction of the
Democratic executive committee of the
state. It will not be possible between
now and the election for me to meet
In person all the Democratic voters,
and I beg that each one will consider
this announcement as a personal re
quest for his support.and Influence.
Again assuring each one of you
gentlemen of my sincere appreciation,
I am, Yours truly.

Parts, Sepr. 3.—Sunday was the flrst
day when the new law providing for a
weekly day of rest went legally Into
operation In France. In Pails It made
no difference In the aspect of the city.
Moat of the stores which are usually
open on Sunday were open. The res
taurants and hotels were also open as
usual. In some quarters where the
stores were closed the employees gath
ered and demanded pay for the day.
When this was not forthcoming, they
reviled their employers, but there was
no trouble.
Five hundred bakers went on strike

Huntsville Observes Day.
|t|>ecf8t to The Georgian.
Huntsville, Ala. Sept. J.—Labor day-
la being quietly observed here today.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York. Sept. 3.—The biggest nav-
revlew In the history of the United
States took place today at the entrance
of Long Island Sound Just off President
Roosevelt’s home at Oyster Bay.
One of the smallest crowds that ever
gathered to witness such an event waa
present owing to the peculiar arrange
ments made by orders of the president,
and thousands who did go down to Oy
ster Bay saw little more than puffs ot
smoke on the horizon.
Fob Hangs Ovar Watsr.
The gray, lowering skies with a
heavy fog hanging low on the water
made the conditions even worse than
they normally would have been for the
people who Journeyed down to tho
Long Island south shore.
When the ships “dressed” at 8 a. m.,
there was only a handful of people to
witness the stirring fight.
An excursion fleet numbering most
of the steam vessela from New York
and from Connecticut and Rhode Is
land porta had gathered early In the
vicinity of Oyster Bay, but the men,
women and children crowding their
decks were doomed to disappointment
so far aa seeing the review or even the
fleet Itself In some enses.
Kept Out of “Lines.”
None of the excursion fleet waa per
mitted within the “lines," and from
that distance the fog served as a cur
tain.
For those who could see the war
ships they presented a formidable ap
pearance In spite of their holiday garb
of gay pennons.
They were anchored In a parallel
line, all In command of Rear Admiral
Evans, who had under him 16,325 men
and 811 officers nil In their smartest
rigs lining the decks and the lighting
tops as the ships were "dressed.”
The great squadron as It lay
anchor numbered forty-six of the most
powerful of lighting machines afloat.
They mounted 1,178 6, 8 or 13-Inch
guns. A flotilla of torpedo boats flank
ed the battleships and armored cruis
ers and auxiliary vessels and a troop
ship was also In position.
Guns Salute President.
It was promptly at 10:45 o'clock that
the auxiliary cruiser Mayflower, also
known as the president’s yacht, sent
forth her signal and the pennant of the
president of the United States was run
up to the peak. President Roosevelt
with Secretary Bonaparte had arrived
on their launcH.
In a moment more the Mayflower
had her anchor up, left her position
near the head of the bay wnd steamed
toward the entrance of the sound and
the beginning of the line of war ves
sels. As the president's vessel rounded
the lighthouse point the signal waa
given from Rear Admiral Evans' flag
ship, the Maine, to “begin tiring."
Every batleshtp, armored cruiser,
torpedo boat and auxiliary made ready.
In a moment more there was half a
hundred vivid flashes of light from aa
many vessels, half a hundred rever
berating crashes thundered out and the
salute to the president—twenty-one
guns from every ship—was begun.
Terrific Din Follows.
The din outrlvalled the thunder that
accompanied the storm of the early
morning before daybreak. It was
greater than that ot the average naval
battle.
But the general salute of twenty-one
guns from the fleet .entire did not end
the shooting. As the Mayflower pass
ed down the line of huge fighting
machines each vessel separately boom
ed out another presidential salute of
twenty-one guns. The salutes became
Indistinguishable and the general bom
bardment was begun all over again.
Tills was the review Itself, the May
flower bearing th* president, officials
and guests passing oiowly down past
each vessel with Its blue Jackets and
marines at "present" as the enmmand-
er-tn-chtef passed and the officers sa
luting.
Ctrameny Proceeds Slowly.
Ij. took more than half an hour for
the individual salutes of the vessels to
be completed and the rest ot the cere
mony proceeded slowly.
The whole ceremony lasted more
than an hour and a quarter, so that It
was high noon before the president on
the Mayflower was ready to anchor at
the head of the squadron.
Following the Mayflower assuming
her position with the splash of her
anchor there was a little commotion on
the batleshtp Maine and Rear Admiral
Evans and Captain Plllsbury, hts chief
of staff, descended to their launch and
steamed over to the Mayflower to pay
his formal respects.
