KILLS HIS
T
Albany Is Shocked by Dou
ble Tragedy Enacted
Sunday.
Speris I to The Georgian.
Albany, Oa., Sept. I.—Together with
their mother’s crlea for help the chil
dren of Q. Howard Hayee and wife,
heard two pistol shots which sent both
of their parents Into eternity at noon
yesterday.
The double tragedy was enacted In
a bed chamber of the Hayes home
on North Washington street, and when
a physician reached the place, a few
mlnutea later, Mr*. Hayes waq dead,
ami her husband dying.
Caus* Not Known.
The cause of the double tragedy Is
not known. Airs. Hayes had been In
bad haalth 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.
Hayes drank occasionally, but was
perfectly sober. He came to this state
from New York a number ot years
ago. Mrs. Hayes was a Miss Lula
.Manning. There are three surviving
children. One, a girl 13 years old, Is
▼tailing In Lee county.
His eldest daughter, Ernie, a pretty
girl just blossoming Into womanhood,
and Julian, a boy of 5 years, were at
the table, as were Mrs. Manning, and
several young men, who board with
the family. It was a thoroughly con
genial company who Inughed, joked
am) chatted without a thought of tlgv
Mack shadow which hung over the
household.
Cries For Help,
Hayes nor his wife appeared at the
breakfast table, both taking the meal
In their room. It was Just before noon
that Mrs. Hsyes was heard to cal! for
help. From her room there had pro
ceeded for an hour or more no re-
. sponse, then the voices were raised
u hove a conversational tone, and Mrs.
Hayes called ns If In terror, "Emmie,
Rosa, Mr. White, come quick!"
Almost Immediately n pistol shot
rang out closely followed by another,
and then a noise as If a body falling on
the floor followed, after which deep
• Hence prevailed In the closed room.
The parties called were the eldest
daughter of the Hayes, J. 8. White
and Mlsa Ross Clemens, who boarded
with the family. The door opening
from the bedroom to the dining room
was locked and when White climbed
Into a window opening Into the yard,
hr aaw that the two shots had done
thetr work only too well. The body of
Mrs. Hayes was still tying on the bed
while that of her husband was .in the
floor at her aide. Both were In their
night clothes.
O. Howard Hayes was a saw mill
operator who spent every week at tha
II. I’ope milt, some miles above Albany,
i -n the A. A R. Railroad. He returned
horns each Saturday evening and re.
malned with his family until Monday.

Syracuse. N. Y„ Sept. S.—Labor men
from all over central New York gath
ered at Syracuse today to participate
In the welcome which the Central Fed
eration of Labor, extended to-William
Randolph Hearst. It was the greateet
demonstration that bos ever been held
In thle city, and It le estimated that
fully 50,000 people took part In It.
Mr. Hearst, accompanied hy a num
ber of prominent Now Ybrkors, mem
bers of the Independence League, ar
rived at 5 a. m. In a special car at
tached to the regular New York Cen
tral train.
Tho party was met at the depot by
Chairman Williams, of the Labor Day
committee, and went to the Vanderbilt
hotel. After breakfast Mr. Hearst was
escorted to the Alhambra, where the
procetdlnga of the day were held.
Women In Escort.
Mr. Hearst’* escort consisted of the
carpenter*’ union of 500 members, 25
women delegates In the central trades
and labor assembly, und the 186 mem
bers of thnt body, representing tho 62
labor unions of Syracuse. The appear
ance of the women labor delegates was
a unique feature of the parade to the
Alhambra. Chairman Williams de
clares It le the most remarkable out
pouring In the history of this section
of the state.
In hla speech, Mr. Hearst said In
pnrt
"My friends, this Is the day set aside
In honor of Labor and In recognition
ot Labor’s primary Importance In the
greatness of this country. I feel con
fident that Labor Day will become a
national American holiday.
“Hall to the Workersl”
Hall to the workers. America has
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 recognised
and their proper demands satisfied.
"The mechanic and the farmer, the
small ‘land owner, the small farmer,
the small dealer, suffer under the aame
conditions of trust oppression and po
lltlcnl corruption. They are anxious
for the same relief und the same re
forme. They will proflt alike by the
restoration of our government to the
Jeffersonian Idea of equal rights far all
and special privileges to none.
"The producing classes should stand
shoulder to shoulder In the struggle
against the exploiting corporation*.
Attitude of Corporations.
I have been a member of the labor
committee In the house of representa
tives and I know the attitude of the
corporations on thle question. I have
heard the representatives of corpora
tions speak before the committee; I
have heard them declare they were
opposed to an eight-hour law* or any
law affecting wages, but that they were
eager to share prnflta with the labor
ing men us soon as profits Increased so
ns to justify It.
’’I have stated in reply what every
Intelligent humun being In this coun
try knows to be a fact, corporations do
not voluntarily Increase the wages of
their employees as proflts Increase, but
they do voluntarily Increase the Issues
of watered stock.
"And the result of tills over-capital
isation and reckless speculation Is thnt
when adversity come* Investors are
swindled, wages are reduced, freight
rates become Intolerable anil a period
of depression Is aggravated and In
tensified until It becomes a panic.

attorney, say* there are enough laws
and that the people do not need or

It Is simply a plan to put into practical
operation the American theory of gov-
eminent.

“Honesty In public service, the rule
of the.maJority, equality before the law,
regard for the welfare of the whole
peopl,, Independence In politics and op-
portunlty 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 proflt

A* to Ownership.
"I’ do not believe In private owner

ownership of private property. I be
lleve In the retention by the people of
the public franchises. I believe In pub
lic ownership of public utilities. I be
lieve that the protective principle I*
valuable In Itself, but has been unrea
snnably extended and outrageously
abused.
"I believe In protection for Infant In
dustries. t believe In protection for
American labor. But I believe Amer
lean labor should be protected against
the high protectionists who use the
protective tariff to build up monopo
lies and use those monopolies to In
crease the cost of living and control
the demand for labor at a low rate of
wages.
"I believe American labor should be
protected .gainst Chinese labor and
against the entering wedge of Oriental
conditions. I believe there should be
’no protection for oppressive trusts.’
believe the tariff should be modified
and public ownership Inaugurated, but
that both should be done cautiously
and conservatively with due regard to
the stability ot business Interests and
the perpetuation of the prosperity on
which we all depend.

I believe In the prison penalty for the

other single thing to regulate trust In
iquity and elsvate the moral tone of the
community.
”1 believe that the distribution of
wealth le as Important as the creation
of wealth. I believe In labor unions
nnd farmers’ granges and organisations
that promote the distribution of wealth,
and I realise that prosperity of legttl

Messrs. B. R. Arnold, Luther S. Ros
ser, Spencer R. Atkinson, Burton
Smith, Milton A. Candler and others.
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 3, has been In my hands for
some days. In my opinion, It Is a
Amount Importance to the
publla 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 I win or lose In
the contest, to be considered by so
large a number of my professional
brethren as worthy to occupy this ex
alted station. Is an honor that I deeply

lie 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. I
frankly confesa to you that I have an
ambition to serve the state In a Judi
cial capacity, and relying upon your
eetlmate of my fltnees for the position,
I now submit my name to tho 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 the
voters of Georgia approve my candi
dacy and elevate me to this high posi
tion, I promise*them to bring to the
discharge of the Important duties of
the office an earnest purpose to ecek
truth and Justice, and In consecrated
service, to protect and declare the
rights of the people under the law. I
make this announcement subject to
any action which the Democratic par
ty may take, either through tho 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 mo 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 nnd Influence.
Again assuring each one of you
gentlemen of my sincere appreciation,
I am, Yours truly,

weekly day of rest went legally Into
operation In France. In Paris It made
no difference In the aspect of the city.
Most of the stores which are usually
open on Sunday were open. The res

usual. In some quarters where the
stores were closed the employees gath

When thle was not forthcoming, they

no trouble.

Huntsville Observee Day.
Rpcrlal to The Georgian.
Huntsville, Ala., Sept. 1.—Labor day
Is being quietly observed here today.
By Private Lensed Wire.
Netv York, Sept. 3.—The biggest nav
al review In .the history of the United
States tohk place today at the entrance
of Long Island Sound Just off President
Roosevelt’s homo at Oyster Bay.
One of the smallest crowds that ever
gathered to witness such an event was
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 of
smoke on the horizon.
Fog Hangs Over Water.
The gray, lowering skies with
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 vessels from New York
and from Connecticut and Rhode Is
land ports had gathered early In the
vicinity of Oyster Bay, but the men,
women and children crowding their
decks were doomed to disappointment
so far as seeing the review or even the
fleet itself In some cases.
Kept Out of “Lines.”
None of the excursion fleet was 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 15,225 men
and 811 officers all In their smartest
rigs lining the decks nnd the fighting
tops as the ships were "dressed.”
The great squadron us It lay
anchor numbered forty-six of the most
powerful of fighting machines afloat.
They mounted 1,178 6, 8 or 13-lnch
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 8*luto President.
It was promptly at 10:45 o’clock that
the auxiliary cruiser Mayflower, also
known as tha 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 tho head of the bay and 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 was
given from Rear Admiral Evans’ flag
ship, the Maine, to "begin firing.”
Every batleshlp, armored cruiser,
torpedo boat and auxiliary made ready.
In n moment more there was half a
hundred vivid flashes of light from as
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 outrlvalted the thunder that
accompanied the storm of the early
morning before daybreak. It was
greater than that of 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.
This was the review Itself, the May
flower bearing the president, officials
and guests passing .lowly down past
each vessel with Its blue Jackets and
marines at ’’present’’ as the command
er-in-chief passed and the officers sa
luting.
Ceremony Proceeds Slowly,
It took more then half an hour for
the Individual salutes of the vessels to
be completed and the rest of 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 batleshlp Maine and Rear Admiral
Evans and Captain Ptllsbury, his chief
of staff, descended to their launch and
steamed over to the Mayflower to pay
his formal respects.
